    PSA - Brain Injury Awareness ProgramMarch is Brain Injury Awareness Month and the Prescott Val-ley Public Library is hosting Kim Wright who will be speak-ing about this important and interesting subject. Kim trans-ferred to the Northern Arizona VA in March 2015 where she is Program Manager for the OEF/OIF/OND Transition & Care Management Program including the Polytrauma/TBI Team. Over the past few decades, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has been highly discussed in the medical community and the gen-eral public. This is in part due to recentcombat operations and subsequent recognition of this poten-tially “silent injury.” Additionally, TBI has gained consider-able attention in the sports industry.TBI produces a complex constellation of medical consequenc-es including physical, emotional, behavior and cognitive defi-cits. In combat Veterans, these symptoms often parallel the

    symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. It has become increasingly important to educate Veterans and their families about these symptoms and how to address them effectively.Thursday, March 15, 5:30-7:30pm, Glassford Hill Room

    Why do we play golf?The game of golf is hard! Golf is fickle! Golf is like life, whereas, some days we play well and at other times we don’t have our best stuff. Sometimes, as in life we get “good bounces” and “ bad bounces”. Golf is even harder when we have high expectations with mediocre talent. Some days when we play, it’s relaxing, peaceful and just a beautiful place to be, with friends or family. Other days, it’s frustrat-ing, difficult, and demoralizing. The game of golf teaches us humility and patience. “They say that golf doesn’t build character, but reveals character.” Just when we think we have it all figured out, the “golf gods” put us back in our place. Every shot is a moment all it’s own. No two rounds of golf are ever the same, like no two days are ever alike. Every time we play a round it becomes a challenge to beat the golf course and most of the time the course wins. It’s a rare day when we can break even par. Professional golfers and amateurs alike experience the same exhilaration when we hit a good golf shot and the same frustration when we hit a bad golf shot. Men and women can all play the game whether they are eight or eighty. And every time we finish a round, we firmly believe that we can do better next time. And in life we say “ tomorrow will be better “.The game of golf promotes honesty and integrity, life also promotes honesty and integrity. In life, if we are not hon-est or have integrity, we are not usually successful. In golf if we are not honest, we only cheat ourselves. So, to an-swer the question of why we play golf, there are an infinite number of answers to such a simple question. We play for the exercise, the enjoyment of being out in nature, and the challenges of always trying to improve our skills at hitting a little ball into a far away hole. Similarly, in life, we are always trying to improve ourselves, our lot in life, and ac-complish our goals of trying to make the world around us better. So tomorrow when I wake up I will keep trying put that little ball into the far away hole, and try to make the world a better place for all of us.

    Research continues to consistently indicate that the mass killing of in-nocent strangers is behaviorally symptomatic of a mentally, severely disturbed individual. In other words, along with exploring political, reli-gious, or some renegade group exter-nally triggering such rage, also focus on the perpetrator’s actual behavioral

    symptoms before and during the killings. This may invite other relevant possibilities regarding the internal triggers of such murderous symptoms. Irrational carnage can be caused by psychic delusions of paranoid revenge, and even suicidal type paroxysms, etc!

    Any of these symptoms alone should prompt a careful ex-amination of possible previous suspicious behavioral symp-toms, including interactions with the law, military, medical, and mental health facilities. As an example of the critical im-portance of such background information is the recent mass killings by 26 year old Dylan Kelly. He alone murdered 58 innocent strangers with injuries to 200 in less than 10 minutes using automatic weapons. Prior to his killing spree, Kelly had received a bad conduct Air Force discharge with a one year prison sentence related to beating his wife and child, and a subsequent escape from a mental hospital.

    None of these actions were reported to the appropriate gov-

    ernmental agencies, which permitted Kelly to later easily pur-chase “several” firearms, all without the sellers awareness of any recorded evidence of the above infractions.

    While preparing the information concerning Dylan Kelly’s murderous rampage, I learned of the most recent of the con-secutive high school murders in a random shooting of students and staff by 19 year old Nikolas Cruz at the Marjory Stone-man Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida. The details of Cruz’s online comments came as former classmates, teachers, and neighbors have said they long feared Cruz may have been capable of violence. Cruz, a former student at the school, was expelled last year for disciplinary reasons. It’s also certainly noteworthy that there have been 17 incidents of gunfire in schools this year according to the gun control group, Every Town USA. Authorities said the gunman used an AR-15 rifle, a semi-automatic weapon made for military use.

    Cruz is an orphaned teenager, who moved in with a friend’s family after his mother died in November, 2017. While living there he attended an adult correctional school and worked in a local dollar store. Following the shootings, students at the Parkland school described Cruz as an outcast and loner. Some said Cruz would talk about his guns, knives, and hunting and everyone predicted he would turn into a school shooter.

    In considering the above, it becomes apparent that such car-nage can at least be significantly reduced in our nation provided all politicians begin to comply with consistent well-researched findings by mental health and law enforcement professionals.

    An open letter to all PCC POA members:As president of the Prescott Country Club Property Owners

    Association I feel a need to clarify some accusations made by a few people about the business procedures practiced by the Board of Directors.

    The BOD (Board of Directors) has always followed the busi-ness dealings and procedures outlined in our By-laws, and Articles of Incorporation contrary to the allegations and innu-endos alluded to in a recent editorial published in the Prescott Valley newspaper. The statements in that article were very misleading and simply not true. The BOD has always main-tained an honest, truthful and transparent standard of opera-tion especially in the area of finances. The monthly financial statements are ALWAYS available either at the POA office readily available for pick-up or can be e-mailed to you if you request it. There is a faction of people in the Country Club that would have you believe otherwise but this has been the practice for years. The main focus of the PCC POA board is to try to maintain the property values and the great aesthetic standards of the owners in the country club and also to keep the annual dues as low as possible while still maintaining such a beautiful place to live.

    There has been a lot of pressure on the Board over the past few months with several people suggesting changes such as

    moving the PCC POA business office to the golf clubhouse, serve liquor at our Board meetings and also sell off the POA building and use that money to maintain the golf course busi-ness operation.

    Please read the Articles of Incorporation which state: “On dissolution or final liquidation of the corporation, the Board of Directors shall determine a non-profit organization that may have been created to succeed the corporation as long as each organization shall qualify as an organization described in 501C (4) the Internal Revenue Code or a non-profit organi-zation having similar aims and objectives…” therefore, if the property belonging to the POA was sold, that money would have to be used to create a new POA or donated to another non-profit organization. The golf course is a for-profit corpo-ration.

    My personal feelings are if a process is working, and it ap-pears the process in place is working very efficiently and hon-estly, then there is no need to change it. In the words of a very wise man: “If it ain’t broke, why fix it”? I am always available for comments or discussion if anyone needs further clarifica-tion or information.

    Thank you, Robert Heise PCC POA President

    the sky this MonthWelcome to our night-time sky.

    Please enjoy this month’s tidbits of knowledge. We are lucky to live in a dark-sky area where the heavens can shine through. I hope you enjoy the sky and perhaps learn a thing or two. Happy star gazing!

    discovering Pluto – Nancy and I drove up to Flagstaff to visit the Lowell

    Observatory. The campus is very interesting with many exhib-its and live presentations. I would highly recommend a visit. With the presentations, you can stay occupied for an afternoon or into the evening with star viewings. The day that we visited was cloudy and rainy, so we could not view any stars or the sun, but we had a great time anyway. Pluto was discovered at the Lowell Observatory. On our visit, the Mayor of Flagstaff was christening the re-opening of the newly refurbished Pluto Tele-scope Dome. In this dome, a Kansas farm boy named Clyde Tombaugh used Lowell’s 13 inch Astrograph to take one-hour exposure pictures of the sky where Pluto was suspected to be. Tombaugh then used a Zeiss blink comparator to flip back and forth between two plates while watching to see if any of the white dots moved. Any dots that moved would be much closer to the Earth than the stars. These moving dots would be candi-dates for Pluto. On February 18, 1930, Tombaugh found two

    plates with a moving dot, which turned out to be Pluto – the ninth planet in our solar system.

    Undiscovering Pluto – As it turns out, beloved Pluto, the last planet to be discovered, was also the most short-lived planet. Continuing from 1930, astronomers kept searching the distant reaches of the solar system for more elusive planets. In January 2005 a team from the Palomar Observatory located Eris, the goddess of strife. Both Eris and Pluto are in a region known as the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt is a giant chaotic area of small to large asteroids and larger space debris. Eris is actually 27% larger than Pluto, so if Pluto is a planet, then would Eris be the tenth planet? The International Astronomi-cal Union (IAU) would decide the fate of Eris and Pluto in August 2006. Prior to that date, there was no official definition of a planet. Planets were simply obvious. They were self evi-dent. At the IAU meeting, members deliberated and decided that in order to be classified as a planet, a solar system object would need to meet three criteria: 1) It needs to orbit the Sun. 2) It needs to be large enough for gravity to compress it into a spherical shape. 3) It must have cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. Both Pluto and Eris meet the first two crite-ria. However, neither object has cleared its orbit of neighbor-ing objects. So on August 24, Pluto was demoted to become a dwarf planet. The aptly named goddess of strife certainly caused a lot of discord.

    You Want to Feel

    This Good !

    Is Your Energy Low?Are You Feeling Stressed or Dealing with Health Issues?

    REIKI just might be what you need to kick start your healing process! Reiki is a natural way to restore health & well-being, and it feels good too!

    Reiki Master Dawn Fleming has over 28 years experience working with clients with a variety of health issues.

    Dawn’s office is conveniently located in PCC. Visit her website at: http://www.energytransformations.org

    She invites you to read the testimonials of how her clients have had health improvements addressing a range of health issues.

    What are you Waiting for? Make an appointment and receive $15 off your first session.

    Call Dawn at 480-751-9278 Today!

    Nancy contacted me on January 5, 2018 saying that she had fallen on November 17, 2017 causing trauma to her brain. She was frustrated with how slow and painful her healing process was. She had double vision, balance issues/dizziness, mind fog, was taking narcotics, was not sleeping, and could not drive. This was her third concussion in 3 years.

    This is how she described her existence, “During this time I was spending each day in bed, in a dark room, wearing a black-out mask over my eyes, asking visitors to whisper, re-lying on others to shop, cook, clean, and drive me to appoint-ments. I was a slave to my medication cycle. I was miserable, depressed, and fearful. As much as it hurt my head, I cried a lot.”

    “My concussion specialist had determined that the blow I took to the occipital lobe of my brain had affected the vi-sual cortex. This was the reason for the double vision, loss of general focus and the main reason for the dizziness that caused me to lurch when walking. The neurology ophthal-mologist after an exam assessed that vision therapy would help my recovery and that I could expect the process to take five months.”

    After the first Reiki session, Nancy was able to sleep all night. After the third session her pain was gone and she was

    went off narcotics. She went out for the day with her daugh-ter.

    After the fourth session the Reiki flowed deeper into her brain. After three weeks and 10 Reiki sessions, here are Nancy’s words, “After several sessions I texted Dawn that I was beginning to feel like myself again, and that I con-sidered the progress nothing short of Divine. I received my last session from her on January 26th. I am writing this on February 5, 2018, 85 days, after my accident, fully functional once again and feeling good. I owe the Banner Concussion Institute credit for addressing the brain swelling during those first critical weeks. I believe, however, that the Reiki ses-sions provided by Dawn Fleming over the course of THREE WEEKS (not five months) healed the damaged visual cortex of my brain. I consider these treatments of my condition to be nothing short of miraculous. My deep and abiding gratitude goes to her.”

    Once again I witnessed how Reiki can help heal trauma/concussions! I am always in awe and humbled by the con-tinuous results that I see with Reiki.

    Who doesn’t love the cheery sight of Marigolds? I par-ticularly love them because they keep critters out of my gardens with their pungent odor. The petals can be used in salads and even used for dyes. These little flowers pack a punch. One of the Marigold’s closest family members is Calendula. You may have seen organic or natural products listing calendula as one of their ingredients and for good reason. Calendula is a powerhouse for those who have is-sues with their skin and even for those who simply want to be kind to theirs.

    Calendula’s properties are vast, and after thousands of years of use, proven to be beneficial for various remedies. During the Cival War and WWI, the freely growing plants were used to staunch wounds and to prevent infection. To this day, Calendula is used to help heal wounds quickly and its antiseptic properties prevent infections. Eczema, chicken pox and other skin ailments have been found to benefit from application of salves or rinses made with the petals and it is so gentle that it has been used for helping to clear diaper rash and to protect babies delicate skin.

    Queen of Hungary water, folklore says, was created by the gypsies and was the reason for their beautiful skin and, you guessed it, one of the main ingredients is Calendula. You can still buy a modern version of this online. But you can also make your own astringent by soaking the pet-

    the Herbalist - Calendula...Healer of skin Conditionsals in vinegar and after about a month, you can dilute it with witch hazel or rose water and have your own beauty water.

    In the kitchen, Calendula has been used as a substitute for Saffron due to the beautiful soft yellow it imparts into food. Using the petals in salads will help aid digestion and just look so cheerful amongst the green. If you enjoy making natural dyes for fabric, yarn or even Easter eggs, Calendula flowers will provide you with a lovely yellow color.

    My favorite use though is to let it macerate in oil so I can have the wonderful healing properties that I can massage into my skin. I use Calendula in all my healing salves, it is the one ingredient I would never do without. The best part is that it is so very easy to grow. Seeds can be purchased where ever you purchase your other seeds and grow eas-ily in a sunny location. My seeds are getting planted this weekend and I look forward to their bright blossoms. Harvesting the flowers is the best way to keep the plant growing. Once you pick a blossom, it makes way for more to bloom so you never have to worry about a shortage of flowers. Planting some will cheer up your garden and, who knows, may keep critters out of your flowers.Sue Ehlbeck is a trained Herbalist and owner of Ladyslip-per Herbs.

    EVER WONDER HOW WELL SOME OTHER CRITTERS SEE COMPARED TO HUMANS?

    DOGS: A dog’s vision mostly detects browns, blues and yellows. They have fewer color-detecting cells in the retina and cannot differentiate between as many colors. Their peripheral field of vision is approxi-mately 250 degrees compared to the human field of about 180 degrees. A dog’s visual acuity is around 20/50 compared to our ideal 20/20. Which means a dog would probably not pass a driver’s vision test!

    CATS: Cats are mostly able to detect browns, blues and yellows, similar to dogs. They have a field of vi-sion of around 200 degrees which again, is better than humans. Their visual acuity at a distance comes in around 20/75….definitely failing a drivers vision test! But their night vision is much better than humans.

    HORSES: A horse can see greens and blue, but most of their sight is in grey. Because horses eyes are on opposite sides of their head, they have excellent pe-ripheral vision but with a blind spot right in front of their noses! Their vision is monocular (meaning they

    only see with one eye at a time) and their acuity is around 20/30.

    BIRDS: Birds can see ultraviolet light and a much wider spectrum of colors than humans can. Most birds have a 340 degree field of vision. Birds of prey have excel-lent visual acuity and can see 4 to 5 times further than humans can.

    SHARKS: Sharks have little to no ability to see colors. They have a 360 degree field of vision. Their eyes work to let in as much light as possible allowing them to see 10 times better than humans in dark and murky water.

    INSECTS: Most insects can see higher frequencies of light than humans can, such as ultraviolet, (like birds) but cannot see red, which is at a lower frequency. Most insects see through hundreds or even thousands of tiny lenses, giving them almost 360 degree vision. That’s why it’s so hard to sneak up on and swat those pesky flies!

    Hope you enjoyed these little tidbits! Have a beautiful spring!!

    All About Diamonds

    The diamond is April’s gemstone and perhaps the most recognized gem in the world. Diamonds were first mined in India over 3,000 years ago.

    And while the diamond mines in India have mostly played out, India cuts and polishes over 90% of all diamonds. To-day, South Africa, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Russia are the leading diamond producers.

    Diamonds were formed deep in the earth under extreme heat and pressure. As the earth cooled, volcanic activity pushed diamonds to the surface. Some, through volcanic outbursts, made their way to river- and stream-beds. Oth-ers formed volcanic pipes known as Kimberlite pipes. Each diamond is anywhere from a few million to 3 billion years old.

    The popularity of diamonds escalated in the 19th cen-tury as a result of an increase in supply, improvements in cutting and polishing techniques, growth in world econo-my, and innovative advertising campaigns. The most suc-cessful and well-known of the advertising campaigns is DeBeers’ “A Diamond Is Forever” first launched in 1947.

    This campaign popularized the use of diamonds in engage-ment rings and fostered a demand for diamonds.

    Diamonds are the hardest gemstone in the world. In fact, the word “diamond” comes from the ancient Greek word “adamas” meaning unbreakable. This hardness makes dia-monds well-suited to everyday wear. In addition, the high dispersion of light, which gives the stone “fire”, makes diamonds highly desired for jewelry. However, only 20% of all diamonds mined are considered to be gem quality. The other 80% are used for industrial purposes.

    While white or colorless diamonds are the most familiar; diamonds also come in reds, pinks, blues, greens, yellows and browns. Yellows and browns are the most common, with brown being marketed as champagne or chocolate diamonds.

    Unfortunately, diamond jewelry doesn’t fit into every budget. Luckily there are diamond simulants (stones which simulate the look of natural diamonds), like man-made cu-bic zirconia (CZ) and crystals, or natural gemstones like petalite, white zircon and white sapphire. Regardless of your budget you can add a bit of sparkle to your life.

  • and ancient viticultural practices. Writers such as Pliny in his Historia Naturalis are precise on viticulture.

    Campania is well known for its dry white wines, but lo-cal red grape varieties Piedirosso and Sciascinoso were se-lected for the task. Most of Pompeii’s historic frescos – in-cluding those in the Villa dei Misteri – depict drinking and pouring red wine. Mastroberardino followed the Roman cultivation and wine-making methods described by Pliny ‘to the letter’, avoiding modern vinification techniques and planting at a density of 8000 vines per hectare. It seems that after 2000 years, wine-making techniques continue to be based on the principle of temperature control. Government agricultural regulations prevented scientists from develop-ing vines genetically from the remains of seeds found in the ruins of Pompeii, though researchers were able to study the residue of wine found in amphorae at the site.

    Six bottles of Villa dei Misteri 2001 were presented to the president of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, while the remaining 1715 bottles were sold to Rome’s Cavalieri Hilton Hotel. The proceeds are being used to help restore Pompeii’s wine cellars.

    There are about one dozen wineries in Pompeii, Italy, to-day. Saluti and happy tasting!

    A taste of wineBrian and I had the joy of going to

    the Arizona Science Center yesterday to see an exhibit which is running through May 28 called: “Pompeii: The Exhibition.” We had a great time and were fascinated by the many ar-tifacts on display. The gist is that Mount Vesuvius erupted on August

    24, 79 AD and sent hot ashes, volcanic gases, and debris through the streets of Pompeii completely destroying the city. The hot ash covered about 186 miles of land and the city was essentially buried in about 8 feet of hot ash. This month’s wine article is inspired by Pompeii.

    Archaeologists discovered ancient vineyard sites in Italy’s Campania Region while working in the shadow of Vesu-vius. In 1996, a local producer, Piero Mastroberardino, was asked by the superintendent of Pompeii, Pietro Giovanni Guzzo, to plant the first vines on the site for 2000 years. A wine called Villa dei Misteri (House of the Mysteries - named after one of Pompeii’s major attractions) was made from these vines. The type of grapes grown in the 1st cen-tury AD were identified from casts of vine roots preserved by lava flow during the AD79 eruption. Ancient texts were also consulted, for detailed information on grape varieties

    Outside-the-Box Home Loan OptionsThe perception many of us have is that it’s difficult to

    get a home loan. The problem is that most consumers have not been educated of where to go to get one. It’s natural for us to think it’s the bank we have our check-ing & savings accounts with. After all, any time we visit the bank there are signs for home loans, not to mention other financial products like car loans, student loans, business loans, credit cards… the list goes on.

    Instead of going to a “depository” (the place you de-posit your hard earned cash into), wouldn’t it be nice to walk into a place that only offers home loans? A place like this understands that the most well qualified borrowers want a fast, easy transaction with low cost and great rates. A place like this also understands that most people don’t fit in a box. Perfect credit and a large down payment are not necessarily what everyone has and should not preclude them from becoming a home owner.

    Enter the Mortgage Broker! Mortgage Brokers offer products banks wouldn’t dream of offering because their business model doesn’t allow for it. A bank’s primary purpose is to grow revenue for their Shareholders by using the money from checking & savings deposits. A

    Mortgage Broker on the other hand does not have share-holders and obtains money for home loans through a wholesale market. This wholesale market is accessed by other Mortgage Brokers across the country and for that reason, is able to provide niche loan programs to serve more people.

    For example, Self-Employed people often times do not show enough income to qualify for a loan even though they may have a viable business. In these cases, they can provide bank statements to support income.

    Real Estate investors may have a property they need to rehab before renting and therefore may not have enough income to qualify for a traditional loan. In this case, the Appraiser can provide a rent schedule to document qualifying income.

    There are a host of other home loans available through Mortgage Brokers, you just have to think outside the box! Traci Ranic is a Mortgage Broker with Frontier Fi-nancial of Arizona and has been originating mortgage loans since 2001. Her office is in the Prescott Country Club on Old Chisholm Trail.

    a day to play was tricky and slim.3/1 O-N-E-S was played and there was a tie for 1st place in Flight 1 by Marge Simpson and Bobbi McDonald, both scoring a total net of 41.

    Bridges took 2nd with a 74, and Lisa Carlisle took 3rd with a 76.3/8 was a day to play 5’s and 4’s. In Flight 1 Lisa Carlisle took 1st with a 35! I Sandy Mitchell took 2nd with a 36, and there was a tie for 3rd by Marge Simpson and Mel Barnett shooting a 37. In Flight 2 Nancy Peterson took 1st with a total net 30! Because of a score card playoff, 2nd went to Char Mollineaux with a 36 and Sue Hale took 3rd with a 36 as well.3/13 had us playing Roadrunner once again.
