Dear Readers,
It has been a very busy year so far and we are just entering March. So many amazing events have already taken place such as the revving Mesquite Motor Mania, a breathtaking Mesquite Balloon Festival, hundreds of kids in town for sporting events such as, baseball, soccer basketball and much more.
Our weather here is perfect right now for anything outdoors. And it seems like we have visitors from all
over the globe here to share it.
This is our Spring Cleaning issue and we are giving you many ideas on how to spring clean your house, as well as your life.
Our wonderful golf courses are in full swing (pun intended) and are full of golfers.
At the time of this printing we are in full throttle of the 2nd Annual Mesquite Off-Road Weekend. We will have a pictorial in this issue but promise to do an in-depth article in our next one.
Mesquite is blooming with Spring. Love and Laughter are in the air. Get outside and enjoy our wonderful city and what lies beyond with a very short walk, bike ride or drive.
Please make sure to visit our advertisers and thank them for making this publication possible.

Sincerely,
Kathy Lee,Editor-in-Chief

In Feb 2004 I came to Mesquite for the first time on a golf junket. We played at Wolf Creek the first day of our trip. On the 10th tee I called my wife Jeanette and told her “I’ve found where we are going to buy our get-away condo.” Janette asked if there were some nice places to buy. I replied “Honey, I don’t care if it’s a shack with an outhouse, you’ve got to play this course!!” I skipped playing golf the last day and bought a condo. (Sight unseen by Janette!) We had looked all over the U.S. for a condo, we knew what we wanted and it was here in Mesquite. Four years later we sold the condo and built a house in Sun City Mesquite. We made 6 trips a year out to Mesquite until we retired here full time in Jan 2013. Mesquite has EVERYTHING we wanted in a retirement area. We love the small town living with big city accouterments in St George or Las Vegas. Add in the friendly caring wonderful folks and friends in Mesquite and we couldn’t find a better place to call home. We are truly blessed to live in Mesquite!!
– Jeff and Janette Powell
After visiting Mesquite several times on golf trips and making friends each time, I imagined one day moving here. When we really started planning a move out of Southern California last summer, the decision was easy. With Doug deciding to go back to being a golf pro, and my work being done mostly from home, Mesquite was ideal for us. We love the mountains and the gorgeous desert scenery. Everyone we meet is so friendly and we just love the small town living. For “The Golf Chick™” and a passionate golf pro, Mesquite is heaven with all the amazing golf courses within 8 miles! Plus, when we feel frisky, Las Vegas is just an hour away! We’re also really enjoying exploring Southern Utah, and there’s nothing like the feeling of driving away from that “big city,” back through the beautiful gorge, and knowing we’re heading home to our beautiful new town!

Growing up in North Dakota, I was blessed to experience many things. I don’t think many people have lived in temperatures where the high for the day was below zero degrees for weeks on end. That kind of weather grows a different kind of community. Everyone seemed to watch out for one another. There was always a wave from people as they drove by on the opposite side of the road. If you had problems someone would always stop to offer a ride or assistance. And Spring had a festival like ability to put a smile on everyone’s face. Spring in North Dakota meant the end of a long winter. It was a time to open the windows and air out a home shuttered against cold of winter. Spring cleaning wasn’t viewed as a chore. It was more of a celebration of the New Year fresh with the promise of renewed life.
Spring in Mesquite sometimes feels like THE two week time period between a warm inviting winter and the hearty embrace of summer. But I still can’t help but feel that hope of a New Year and new beginning. 2014 looks to be the year that Mesquite has been waiting for since the beginning of the recession. The economic indicators are moving in a positive direction. Homes are being purchased. Companies are hiring. There seems to be a little more optimism in the air. It would appear that we are in the Spring of our economic recovery. So let’s open up the windows and let the fresh air of optimism in. It has been a long slow recovery for Mesquite and we will recover. It is time to celebrate and embrace the new economy. The
new market place is very different from the economy of the early part of the century. But just like the weather economies are always changing and adjusting.

I’ve enjoyed the benefits of building not one, but several successful businesses. I’ve enjoyed being in control of my own income, as well as the growing the business as much or as little as I wanted. One of the benefits of having your own business is that if you build it correctly with a proper structure, many options are available to you. You can retire when you want, start another business, sell the business, or even franchise it.
This year, thousands of new businesses will open for the first time, fueled by the enthusiasm of entrepreneurship. However, in a few short years, most of those businesses will no longer be in operation. That will be a disappointment not only for the business owners, but for their employees who will find themselves without jobs.
To help ensure success and prevent your business from being a statistic in the casualty column, here are some key principles and processes to follow when undertaking the challenge of opening a new business.
Understand your value is in your difference. Follow what I call “The Golden Principle.” It goes like this: The responsibility and purpose of a business is to satisfy customers by offering them goods and services of real value. Please memorize that. It’s important because if you hold true to it, you will succeed 100% of the time.
What do I mean by “real value” when it comes to your business? Your value is in your difference. For example, let’s say there are two apples in front of you. Although they may look similar, one is more expensive than the other. Which would you buy? Probably the less expensive one. Now, if I were to explain that the higher priced apple was grown without the use of pesticides in special fields on an organic farm and had much higher nutritional value than the other apple, which was grown with nasty chemicals that could cause you harm, which one would you choose? I hope you would opt for the higher priced, healthier apple. Why? Because although it’s priced higher, you now understand the value is better, so it’s actually less expensive.
Similarly, sometimes you have to explain value to the customer by describing what differentiates your product or service from others. This may involve sharing the process behind the product as well as the short and long-term benefits.
Keep up with technological innovations. We are living in a world of exponential growth. Things you learn today may be much different or obsolete a year from now. Stay ahead of the game by constantly updating your business knowledge. What you don’t know can hurt you. Therefore, learn everything about your market, your services, and your products--more than
anyone else on the planet. Think of how evolving technologies will change the way you’ll do business. How will you keep up?
Listen to the public. Sadly, many people go into business having done very little information gathering and market research. Make sure your product or service meets the market demands by conducting some research. Test a pool of consumers in both your target market and across different demographics to determine and gage public interest in what you are considering offering. When you perform your due diligence, your chances for success increase dramatically.
Be the general! Building a business is like playing a game of strategy. The word strategy comes from the Greek work strategos, which means general--as in a military general. When it comes to running a business, you are the general. You develop the strategy and control all that goes on in your business by taking charge and staying on top of every area of operation. Although you may delegate certain jobs to employees or partners, it’s up to you to make sure the organization is running smoothly. Never assume that everything’s fine; a lot can go wrong when you are not watching. Check for weak links and rotten apples. Find problems and address them quickly.
Prepare and immerse yourself completely. There is absolutely no

substitute for preparation. You also must go into this endeavor with commitment, dedication, and full belief that your efforts will be fruitful. Monitor your progress, and make sure you’re constantly moving forward. Always look for areas to improve.
Be specific in identifying your purpose and path. Be so precise that when someone asks you what your business is about, the words flow from your mouth with confidence and conviction. Know exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you will get there. When asked how you differentiate yourself from your competitors, never answer with, “We provide better customer service.” Everybody says that, and most do not deliver it. Instead, give specifics. Talk about your process, your ingredients, your training and, of course, your value.
Keep your business front and center in the public’s mind. Send your customers personal thank you
notes, the old fashioned kind they can hold in their hands. I always say, “Brighten someone’s mailbox, instead of their inbox.” Also keep them informed of new information about your business, and make sure it’s relevant to their needs. Keep your business energy alive, keep on it at the forefront of your customers’ minds. It’s important to advertise, and when you build a good solid business with a wonderful reputation, you get the best free form of advertising: word of mouth!
Be nice. People do business with people they like, it’s that simple. People like people who are friendly, genuinely
pleasant and sincere, and easy to talk with. Good chemistry is crucial, especially when you’re providing a service.
We may never discover the meaning of life; however, you can discover the purpose of your life. Building a successful business that fulfills an unmet need can be a rewarding way to express your purpose. Find something you are passionate about--that passion will give you the enthusiasm needed to keep persevering toward success.

The old saying goes “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. With so many advancements in early detection for many serious health conditions such as Diabetes, Cancer and Heart Disease, it might be more accurate to say that prevention is better than the cure.
Retirement is the perfect time to focus on what you enjoy in life, but don’t lose track of one very important thing – your health. A quick visit to your doctor and a few tests and screenings can keep you focused on what you love the most. Ask your doctor about what screenings and/or tests might be right for you!
Many insurance policies are encouraging more preventive screenings by reducing or in many cases, eliminating the cost for certain tests. Check with your insurance carrier and ask what preventive screenings are covered – you may be surprised.
For example, in the past few years, Medicare has increased the number of preventive tests that are covered with no cost to the patient.
Did you know Medicare provides coverage for many preventive services and screenings that are especially meaningful to men, including but not limited to:
• Colorectal and Prostate Cancer Screenings
• Cardiovascular Disease Screenings
• HIV Screening • Immunizations including
Hepatitis B, Influenza and Pneumococcal
• Smoking Cessation Counseling• Annual Wellness Visit • Weight Management

within the first 12 months of eligibility for Medicare Part B coverage. It includes:
• Review of your medical/surgical/family history, medications, diet and physical activities
• Review of your risk factors for depression and other mood disorders
• Review of your functional ability and level of safety (hearing, fall risk, activities of daily living, home safety)
• Measurement of height, weight, blood pressure, visual acuity, body mass index and other factors appropriate to your medical history
• Discussion of advance directives (upon your consent)
• Education, counseling and referral based on the results of the visit
Initial Annual Wellness Visit This one-time visit is available for those who have been eligible for Medicare Part B coverage for longer than 12 months. It includes:
• Self-reported Health Risk Assessment including activities of daily living
• Review of your medical/surgical/family history and medications
• Review of your risk factors for depression and other mood disorders
• Review of your functional ability and level of safety (hearing, fall risk, activities of daily living, home safety)
• Measurement of height, weight, blood pressure, body mass index and other factors appropriate to your medical history
• Establishment of a list of current providers and suppliers
• Detection of cognitive impairment• Establishment of a written
screenings schedule• Listing of risk factors and conditions
for which interventions are recommended or under way
• Personalized health advice and referral, as appropriate, based on the results of the visit
Subsequent Annual Wellness Visit This visit is available once every 12 months, after the Initial Annual Wellness Visit. It includes updating the information you provided in the Initial Annual Wellness Visit, and providing health advice and referrals accordingly.
When scheduling a wellness visit, you will be asked to bring specific information with you to the visit. Please be sure to prepare for your visit by gathering all requested information and completing all pre-visit documents.
Depending on the results of your wellness visit, additional health services
may be recommended for you. For example, a person at risk for diabetes may be referred for diabetes screening.Copayment, coinsurance and/or deductible may or may not apply to additional services.
In addition to Medicare, many other commercial, non-Medicare insurance carriers offer many preventive screenings at minimal or no cost to the patient. The best sources of information are your insurance company and your physician.
The best way to minimize your risk of a serious health condition is to take advantage of early detection screenings. Again, ask your doctor about what screenings and/or tests might be right for you, so you can continue doing the things you love most!

If you’ve ever wished you could soar above the ground like an eagle or just get a birds-eye view of the world, your wish may be granted. Those individuals who fly the skies as pilots are fortunate enough to have a perspective of our world that the rest of us can only imagine, and they can get it almost any time they want. Well your chance has arrived, in the person of Dr. Henry Harper PhD. Dr. Harper has officially opened a flight school in Mesquite and is taking on students. Whether you are a pilot who needs a refresher course or you have never been in a plane in your life, now you have the opportunity to fly, and the views from the skies over Mesquite are breathtaking!
Dr. Harper came into aviation naturally. It’s in his blood. His grandfather was a flight instructor in the First World War and he and his sons were pilots in WWII. He and his two brothers all served their country in the military as well. His love of flight started in 1962 when he was a college freshman. His father bought him a solo flight course. When he was in the Navy on submarine duty, in 1969 he worked to attain his pilot’s license. Dr. Harper has worked as a Crop Duster and as a Back Country pilot for hunting trips. He loves flying his float plane on the lakes of Idaho.
Dr. Harper holds the pilot rating of Airline Transport Pilot for Cessna Citation jets, all fixed wing ratings including single engine land and sea, multiengine land and sea as well as glider instructor. His flying experience includes over 8000 hours with 4000 hours as a flight instructor.
The flight school, Aviation of Mesquite will provide education and training for pilots and prospective pilots to attain their private, commercial, and instrument ratings. They will train pilots in the necessary skills to become safe and competent pilots. Flight instruction will be available in a Cessna 172XP as well as a Red Piper Supercrusier and a Beech Bonanza. Tail dragger endorsements are also available.
“Flying aircraft is a challenging discipline and can be just a lot of fun!” says Dr. Harper. “This spring we are offering introductory flights over Mesquite for $50. This includes a brief ground instructional session.”

Celebrate the rewarding benefits of refreshing your body
Set aside a few days. It’s time for spring cleaning, or in this case, spring cleansing. Spring cleansing is a way to recharge, rejuvenate and renew as your body comes out of what might be considered hibernation. It’s a way you can jumpstart your body for a more active life – a healthier life. There’s no mop or vacuum needed for this “housekeeping” job, just good food choices that assist in the normal body process of eliminating and neutralizing harmful toxins and replenishing essential nu-trients.
How can we take the individual super foods like lemons, broc-coli, apples, avocados and carrots and combine them to make delicious yet effective recipes? Juicing seems to be a very popular approach recently. I recently tried my hand at juicing. But, instead of starting slow and combining a few ingredients that I liked, I filled my Vita Mixer with ingredients I don’t nor-mally care for in any situation. I was going to get healthy fast! Needless to say, my first swallow was not followed by a sec-ond. The juice went down the disposal. The following recipe is how I should have started:
This healthy salad is a tasty way to add vegetables to your cleansing diet.Vinaigrette: 1 shallot 2 garlic cloves 1 cup red wine vinegar 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard 4 Tbsp. organic sugar 2 ½ cups olive oil 1 cup fresh basil ½ cup filtered water Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable Mix: 1 yellow squash, cut into ¼” strips 1 zucchini, cut into ¼” strips 1 eggplant, cut into ¼” strips 1 large red onion, cut into ¼” strips Olive oil for brushing vegetables Salt and pepper to taste 2 roasted red peppers ¼ cup black olives ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes Baby arugula

AND THEN IT’S SPRING
Blend all ingredients together until smooth. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with a lemon wedge.
2 fresh peaches1 apple2 oranges, peeled1/2 cup blueberries½ cup ice cubes
To make vinaigrette: Place the shallot, garlic, vinegar, mustard and sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, add the olive oil in a slow drizzle (the dressing should emulsify). Add the basil and blend until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To prepare vegetables: Brush all sides of the squash, zucchini, eggplant and red onion strips with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on all sides. Cut all the vegetables into small, even pieces and mix until well combined. Refrigerate until chilled.
To assemble salad: Toss the chopped vegetable mix with salt, black pepper and the basil vinaigrette to taste. Serve on a bed of arugula. Serves 4

We all like to feel safe and secure at work or home, right? A monitored security system or CCTV camera system can provide that security, plus many other benefits. Understanding the benefits of each can help you decide which system to choose, or to help you realize you may need both a security system and a CCTV camera system. Finding the right system is as important as your family’s safety – in fact, it will ensure it!
Monitored Security System - Thanks to technological advances, today’s security systems are smarter and easier to use than ever before. They can even be remotely armed and disarmed. When armed, triggers include an opened window or door, or when motion is detected. In the event of an alarm, the security company is notified and can dispatch the police or fire department. The first line of defense provided by a monitored security system is an audible alarm that sounds when it is triggered. This audible alarm is
useful to potentially scare off a burglar before they have a chance to take anything. Next, the security company will dispatch the police where they have a chance of catching the burglar in the act. Monitored security systems give you the assurance that your home or business is protected whether you are there or not.
CCTV Camera System – Closed Circuit TV camera systems record video 24/7 and the video surveillance footage can be quickly scanned to search for activity both on site and remotely. In the case of a burglary at your home or business, this allows you to see who broke in, what they stole or damaged, and provide evidence to file charges. Through live monitoring, either on location or remotely, the footage also provides the facial recognition to potentially catch someone as the crime is occurring, or to help you keep an eye on someone you might have suspicions about. These systems can also be used as a tool for safety by being able
to view past incidences and putting in safeguards so it doesn’t happen again. It also allows you to view confrontations, so you know exactly who did what. Lastly, CCTV camera systems can provide peace of mind by allowing you to check on your home or business when you are away to make sure everything is as it should be.
There are many options in terms of brand, budget and so on. The important difference between a Monitored System and a CCTV Camera System is that while a monitored security system provides more immediate security, a CCTV camera system can provide the evidence needed to act after an incident and can be monitored from virtually anywhere in the world. Many families and businesses use one or both systems, but if you are not sure what is best for you, your best bet is to do some research and talk with a professional. A local experienced professional can help you determine the system that best fits your needs and budget.

The Mesquite Chamber is your local business membership organization created to help your business succeed. We are a non-profit organization that works hard for the Mesquite business community and have the lowest membership rates around. Why should your business become a member? There are many reasons and I would like to name just a few.
The Chamber offers an array of opportunities for free advertising that comes as part of your membership package. Membership is not free, but it’s far less than expensive traditional advertising.
Here are just a few:
• E-mail blasts of your special promotional materials to our distribution list which consists of members and non-members.
• A special listing in the local Reliance Connects phone directory listing your business as a Mesquite Chamber of Commerce Member.
• Your business is listed in our Chamber’s Visitor Guide Magazine.
• Your business has an online listing on the Chamber website.
• You have the opportunity to supply the Chamber with your printed promotional materials that we can hand out at local and out-of-area events such as the Mesquite Off-Road Event, Mesquite Days, Chamber Golf Tournament, Chamber festivals and more.
Business Members are also offered discounted rates to advertise in:
• The Chamber Visitor Guide Magazine and Map that are given
out to hundreds of visitors who stop by the Chamber office, call for a relocation packet, or at various events around town and out of town.
• Your business can sponsor a Chamber luncheon which will give you time to present your business and distribute materials to our luncheon guests.
• Your business Lobby Ad displayed in the Chamber Office.
Chamber membership provides many opportunities to make a difference and develop professional leadership skills. There are seven Chamber committees you can serve on from Government Affairs to Events. If you are a retired executive who wants to help Mesquite businesses with your expertise, there are plenty of opportunities such as becoming a SCORE counselor or serving on a committee.
Unlike a trade association or professional society, the Chamber doesn’t limit membership to one profession or industry, thus giving you the opportunity to meet more than one prospect for your word-of-mouth marketing team.
Your Chamber business membership increases your credibility. Research points out that consumers are more likely to do business with a company if it is a member of the local chamber of commerce. There was a study by
The Shapiro Group and Market Street Services that showed when your potential customers know that your small business is a chamber member; they are 44 percent more likely to think favorably of it and 63 percent more likely to purchase goods or services from you in the future. Consumers think that your product or service rates higher against your competition if your company is a member and even more if your company is highly involved in the local chamber. Your membership infers that your company is trustworthy, involved in the community and is a leader.
Your membership increases your company’s visibility in the community. The success of your membership depends on your knowledge of benefits and your engagement. The membership benefits listed in this article are not all that a Chamber membership includes. Give us a call and we will be happy to sit down with you to go over all the benefits that a Mesquite Chamber of Commerce membership provides.

We’ve made giant leaps forward digitizing our collection of artifacts and records. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Pete Clayton, Margie Hargas and several volunteers we’ve managed to digitize hundreds of documents. This is an important step forward to making our records accessible to people wanting to do family research, or local history research, or even research on southern Nevada in general.
Our online presence is also improving; Facebook is a wonderful medium for reaching people wherever they may be. Since October we’ve managed to more than double our online presence on Facebook and we’re working on a new website for the museum catalogue. Through the website people can browse through our catalogue and interact with the museum digitally.
Aside from putting the museum on the digital map we’ve been hosting events to draw people into the museum. The ornament making activity in December was a smash hit. Several Mesquite youngsters attended the event. They painted pine cones and made paper chains that were featured on the
museum’s Christmas tree. The tree was first displayed at The Festival of Trees put on by the Mesquite’s Art Council. After The Festival of Trees wrapped up, the ornaments were on display in the museum.
Aside from making ornaments, we had Diana Coonradt in for pioneer story time. Dressed in authentic pioneer garb she entertained with stories of pioneer heritage. We also had Rebel the goat in for a visit. As patrons would come in to the museum they could meet with Rebel and learn about the importance of farming and agriculture in the valley.
A new development we’ve been working hard on is the Verde Hughes Reference Library. There have been multiple people coming in to the museum looking for family, information about the area or other areas of historical importance. Previously there hasn’t been an area for these researchers to come, sit, and work. The reference library is now in the middle of its soft opening. During Mesquite Days it will be officially open to the public, this way people can come to the museum and research comfortably. Also, Verde
Hughes, who gave so much to the Museum as the first coordinator, will be honored and will always have a place in the museum.
Another exciting event happening during Mesquite Days will be the opening of The Firehouse display we are thrilled to have this new display opening during this celebration.
We are very grateful to those who’ve come before us. Without their hard work the museum would not be what it is today. I will continue to build upon the foundation they have laid. I would also like to extend a big ‘Thank You’ to all those who have made contributions of time and talent to the museum, we could not make progress without their help.

Bloom Into Spring With Vibrant Colors!
High Desert Home Furnishings 550 West Pioneer Blvd Mesquite 702.346.1919
by DONNA eADsTennis TnTWith the coming of springtime, we all think of doing some cleaning or repair of our equipment that we use every time we hit the tennis courts. First, get your racquet re-strung – especially if you have not played frequently during the cooler months. Most players should have their racquet re-strung with a new grip at least every three months. The change of season is a great reminder for this needed repair. If you have not acquired a new racquet in the last five years, the time is now. The frame of your racquet starts to deteriorate rapidly after five years. Guess what? You can now design your own racquet to match your game! Head is just one of many companies that offer this great service. Be sure to clean out your entire bag of all old medications, socks, balls, and used items.
In the next few months, many of our local players will be preparing for the upcoming Senior Games, which means great doubles. An effective play during any doubles match is to hit a drop shot and then follow-up with a lob or passing shot. So use this time to practice this play with your partner. A change in season reminds us that a change of position can be an advantage to your team also. Use the modified Australian formation if your team is being beaten with a difficult crosscourt return or if your partner has a great stroke that can be a weapon.
A few tips to send to your team: Be quick to call a let if there is a problem such as a ball rolling around the court. Do not touch or catch any ball that is heading out of the court. As soon as a
mistake is noted - such as the wrong server, switch to the correct person and resume the match.
See you on the courts – soon!
Spring is a good time to clean some of the craziness out of our lives. It is a time to take an inventory of our life and take notice of what persons, places or things are bringing discord into your environment. Some lucky folks are perfectly happy with the way things are, but for most of us there are things we’d like to change to make our lives.
While a crisis might make us want to dig deep to find the true causes of our emotional roadmaps sometimes we just need to do a mini-dig to turn down the level of drama in our lives. Much of the stress in our lives is brought on by how we communicate with others. Our own personal belief systems and family dynamics program us on how we will react to our relatives and others.
This spring, take a moment to look at your life and see if you are allowing others to bring stress and craziness into it through communications. Often it can be a seeming well meaning person who is subtly but constantly needing something from you.
Kerri (not her real name) grew up in an emotionally insecure family where everyone was extremely judgmental of each other. The insecurity was passed from one generation to the next and the entire family was involved in a game of “gotch ya superiority.” Ultimately the multi-generational finger pointing and self-aggrandizement created by belittling other members of the family became so prevalent that a many members quit talking to each other.

spring is the time of new life. trees bud. Flowers
bloom. green shoots appear in fields, and all kinds of young animals are born. Cleaning up
our surroundings is a normal response to this new energy; getting rid of the old, dusting off the forgotten stuff in the
back of the closet, polishing up the nic knacks of our life.

Being the oldest of the grandchildren Kerri always felt responsible for her younger siblings and other family members. The adults in the family generally viewed her as one of them, so she was sometimes caught in the middle when opinions collided. She continually attempted to explain possible reasons for her other family members’ actions and worked hard attempting to mediate disagreements to bring everyone back into harmony. Yet no matter how hard she tried it never worked.
Then one day as she got off the phone her husband asked her how things were with her family? As she explained to him the latest round of “gripes” various family members had about each other she suddenly realized that she was the conduit through which her family communicated!
Everyone talked with her. So everyone called her to find out what the “other” part of the family was doing. Relatives just continued to play their games
without directly having to communicate with each other because she was doing it for them. That realization was like a light being turned on in the dark. She was one of the primary reasons the discord continued and she had the tools to stop it.
From then on Kerri stopped being the family conduit. She still talked with everyone but when they asked about an estranged family member she no longer passed on any information. Instead she suggested they call and find out what they wanted to know themselves. Now years later some of the broken relationships have healed. Others have moved on keeping their family at arms length to reduce the game playing.
For Kerri once she removed herself as the conduit of information the stress in her life subsided dramatically. Of course it didn’t all go away since none of us have only one single issue in our lives, but it did help with her relationships and with her family. She didn’t abandon her relatives she just dealt with them on
her own terms refusing to be put in the middle again.
Although Kerri’s situation involved family, the same type of problem can develop among friends or coworkers. Kerri was a caretaker who felt she needed to keep peace in the family. What are you? Are you the type who can’t say no? So everyone obviously comes to you first when they need something. Are you the conduit who can spread information along with rumor or gossip? Or do you enjoy stirring the pot and keeping the craziness going even though you know you shouldn’t?
Now is the time to dig down and find out what it is in you that needs a little spring cleaning and give it a try! This is especially important in this age of smart phones and social media. They provide us with increasing ways to communicate which can either enrich or create havoc in our lives and for others.
Spring’S here So why noT Clean up your aCT?

Rob Krieger - PGA Golf Professional
At the end of the day, the only thing that matters in a golf swing is when the club strikes the ball for approximately .0004 of a second on the club face. You can only hope that you returned the club back into a position that launches the ball toward your target.
Drill – Front Leg Only into Impact Bag1. Start by taking your normal stance to impact bag 2. Put right leg next to the left leg so knees are touching and
you are on your toe of the right leg and all your weight is on the left leg
3. Take the club back only until the club is parallel to the ground, hold this position for 1 to 2 seconds then go to #4
4. Rotate left hip around to the left, pulling the shoulders and then the club down into the impact bag
5. Strike impact bag and hold position
No need to do this drill hard or fast, try going slow at 25% of normal swing speed and work your way up to 50% speed. Hold your impact position for 3 seconds and check to make sure you are positioned correctly.
Good Luck and as always Fairways & Greens!

Available for beginner clinics and private lessons. simulator times and lessons can be booked by calling 435-986-5096, emailing [email protected] or visit www.stgeorgegolfinstruction.com.
Impact position – The MoMenT of TruTh
If you look at professional golfers like Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods, they all have a different way of swinging the club, but they are all successful because at the “Impact Position” they do the same things. Let’s see if we can help you have a better MOMENT OF TRUTH and playing better golf regardless of what your swing looks like.
Many of the issues that golfers will have when the club meets the ball are:1. Falling backwards and weight is on the back foot2. Shoulders and hips are pointing at the ball at impact3. Chest points upwards4. Head is pulling up5. Clubface is open to swing path and target lines6. Left wrist and left arm are bent
To get the most out of any golf shot your body’s proper impact position should have:1. Majority of your weight on the front foot2. Shoulders and hips open to target line and open from
where they were at the address position3. Head down looking where ball is/was4. The toe of the club head should be turning over (squaring
itself up) while the forearms are rolling over or rotating5. Left arm straight and left wrist flat and ahead of the ball if
hitting it off the turf6. Right knee at ball, at impact

Mesquite is known for its recreation opportunities, but most Mesquite retirees might be sitting on the sidelines, unable to play competitive sports, if it weren’t for the Mesquite Senior Games (MSG). The Games celebrate Birthday 13 this year, and like any brash teen, promise to be bigger, better, faster and stronger than ever. The Games’ intent is to promote the outdoor lifestyle of Mesquite and healthy fun and wellness.
The magic number for entry in the Mesquite Senior Games is 50. Anybody with an ID that shows 50 years old or better is invited to compete with others in their age bracket in the sport of their choice. Played throughout the month of April, this dynamic event grows each year when someone steps up to chair another sport. A large group of skilled volunteers provide “people power” to staff the events. Thus, from its start as a senior softball tournament in 2001, the sports competitions now include men’s and women’s softball, basketball skills, bocce ball, bowling, golf long drive, pickleball, target pistol, tennis, track and field events, 5k/10k road races, fun walk, and that favorite indoor game, bridge.
The Mesquite Senior Games drew over 1200 entrants from the Western States in 2013. Medals are awarded to three top places in each event, and the camaraderie and new friendships gained through the Games provide a “win” for everyone. Mesquite Senior Games is
a non-profit organization, and its events and mission are supported by the City of Mesquite, Virgin Valley High School, and private land owners.
Presiding over Mesquite’s mini-Olympics is Frank Pati, organizer of the MSG. Frank is a former coach who knows his way around the bases. The growing reputation of MSC and its value to senior athletes, earned Pati the title of “2013 Nevada Senior of the Year,” a state-wide award. This was a welcome reaffirmation of personal achievement for this man who has served his community so well. Attending the awards ceremony in Las Vegas was Betty Pati, there to see her husband accept his award from Gov. Brian Sandoval. It was one of the last events she enjoyed before her untimely death from cancer. The 2014 Games are dedicated to her.
The 2014 Games promise great fun for competitors and spectators who come to see what it’s all about. A free Fitness Walk, open to all ages, has been added this year to underline the importance of everyday physical exercise in maintaining personal health.

We’ve all seen them -- those wall plaques hanging above a cluttered desk. They imply the person occupying the space is brilliant, genius, creative, industrious or just plain messy. History shows that even Albert Einstein was amused by the psychology surrounding this condition. “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”
The tidy/messy desk environments have advantages and disadvantages, and undoubtedly the debate will continue. However, there comes a time when getting down to business requires a bit of organization. Whether you use your home office for personal projects, telecommuting or operating your own business, maintaining a room that works for you is key. In this article, you’ll find a number of tips to design and organize a workspace in your home.
WORk SMaRTHome offices need a clear work area and that means providing adequate space for computer hardware and peripheral equipment, a place for reference materials, file space and a location for supplies. Choose office furniture with ample space for work and storage. Your desk is where you spend most of your time, plus it sets the tone of the room. Whether it’s a compact computer desk, a secretary, a hide-away, a traditional-style desk or complete built-in, always consider workspace and storage.
SaVE SPacEStack. From floor to ceiling, make use of vertical space. Bookshelves, cubes, metal shelving and baskets are just a few of the ways you can organize your reference materials, supplies and other items needed close-at-hand. Consider stacking your computer or
media equipment. Make sure, however, necessary venting is unobstructed. The use of simple chair leg protectors (small plastic cups) can be used as spacers between these pieces of equipment when stacking.
DiViDE anD HiDEKeep paperwork under control and out of sight with filing cabinets, consoles and credenzas as well as desktop organizers or trays. On my desk, I have this weird habit of needing to keep current work out where I can see it, which results in piles of stuff on every inch of surface area -- sometimes spilling onto the floor. All too soon I can’t find anything and the need to straighten and organize becomes a priority. Instinct tells you to open your desk drawer and begin filing, unless . . . the drawers are full! Just to make a point, while in the process of creating this article, I decided to clean out just one of my desk drawers. I found a 2011 pocket calendar, 3 antacids, 23 pens (16 dried up), keys to who knows what, 5 hand-held calculators of various sizes and an empty hand sanitizer bottle. Ta da! Clean, organized space once again.
WARNING! Storing items can get out of hand if you are not careful. This is one of my downfalls. I love storage containers. They are inexpensive and make everything look so organized. But, it’s too easy to just keep loading
them up and then I end up buying more containers. Muck out often. I’m sure there was a reason for all the saved items I put in storage. In most cases, however, I had forgotten.
TO BE OR nOT TO BEKnowing what we need to keep, and being willing to part with what we do not need, is not always easy. Establish guidelines for what you save. Ask yourself a few questions:
• Does it still have any practical utility?
• Does it have monetary value?• Do I have more than one?• Are there recommended time
frames for keeping? (Example: tax documents)
• Would someone else benefit by it?• Can it be converted to digital files?• When was the last time you needed
it?• Is it scrapbook-worthy?• Will your kids just throw it out
without a second thought? (That would be my daughter! I still consider myself somewhat young. However, my daughter keeps harassing me to “purge” before I die so she doesn’t have to.)

home office is just for a few hours a week or eight hours a day: you need home office colors that help boost productivity and make you feel comfortable.
One aspect of home office colors that some homeowner’s desire is the departure from the ordinary. Many of us have spent years in the conventional, glass-box, cubicle-segmented office environment of drab, dull walls and industrial-strength carpeting, and we desperately want something comfortable and friendly, yet not frivolous.
If you enjoy being energized during the work day and want to create a color palette that will increase your productivity, you will want to choose brighter, vibrant hues. On the other hand if you would like to stimulate a more relaxing and soothing environment
where you can get your work done free of stress, you may want to choose a less intense and softer color. Consider the following:
• Blues – Blue is a good color to use on your office walls. People who are in blue rooms tend to have higher production that those in other colored rooms.
• Greens – Green reminds us of nature and relaxation, so if you surround yourself with blues and greens you are more likely to stay
in the room you’re in and have a higher output of work.•Reds – Red is often used as accents in the work place and
best used in small doses.• Whites – White is good to use in small spaces as it gives an airy quality. Using white in a room of blues and greens make the room feel more open and spacious.
• Yellow – Yellow should be used in small doses, just like red in a space where concentration and productivity are key. Yellow is an optimistic color, so little splashes of it here and there can be encouraging, especially during a long work day.

Balloon Festival
This year’s balloon festival saw record attendance in both spectators and balloons. Balloon Meister Gayle McCoy arranged for 38 beautiful balloons and the event attracted over 5000 people. Thanks to the nice weather, our city was filled with color on Saturday and Sunday mornings as the balloons took to the skies. They also enchanted us with the ever popular Night Glow on Saturday night. Spectators enjoyed a variety of other activities at the festival. From a bird show during the day to a Neil Diamond Cover Band at night, there was always something interesting going on. Thank you to everyone involved for another successful year!

When I decided it was time for a change in my life, we decided to take the plunge and move.” Jim began making trips to Mesquite to find the perfect home for his family. On one of his house hunting trips he also decided to look for work. It wasn’t long before Jim joined the Enterprise Carpet Care team.
When Jim started working for Enterprise Carpet Care he never thought that in the very near future he would be the one calling the shots. In 2011, after working for the company for only four years, Jim was given the opportunity to take over the business and make it his own. After careful consideration, planning and with the support of his family, Jim took over and started looking in to ways to build his business.
Undertaking a change in business can put you in a precarious position, especially when it comes to your image. If you dare to revamp your look, you run the risk of people no longer recognizing your company or thinking you have gone out of business because they don’t see your trademark logo, vehicle or uniform around town anymore. But, like any risk in business, there is always reward. Recently, Enterprise decided to take the risk and update their look. They purchased a new vehicle and equipment and updated their logo. Some people did think they had gone out of business because they weren’t seeing the truck
around town anymore; but, not to worry, they are still here and better than ever! Now they have a fresh look and new equipment to better serve you. Enterprise has always offered great service, and that hasn’t changed. Don’t let the name fool you, they do much more than just carpet care. They service carpet, tile and wood flooring
as well as furniture. They also offer fire and water damage restoration in the event your home or office fall victim to a disaster. Jim and his team are committed to providing excellent service to homeowners, businesses and property managers. They will continue to work hard to maintain the trust and loyalty they have earned throughout the years.
seven years ago Jim snyder moved his family to Mesquite from utah. “while traveling from utah to California to visit family we would always stop in Mesquite and stay there a night or two to break up the trip. we liked it so much that we ended up looking into living here.

what is relay for life?
Relay For Life is the largest cancer awareness and fundraising activity in the world! It is an event where communities across the globe come together to honor and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds raised at these events truly make a difference in the fight against cancer – just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!In more than 5,200 communities, Relay For Life events comprise the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Each Relay For Life
event is community based and volunteer driven. Its true power lies in the combined commitment of thousands of participants, volunteers, and supporters to help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer. Relay Teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park, or fairground. Relay events are typically 12 hours in length and continue through the night. Because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.
why we fundraise
Every year, the Relay For Life movement raises more than $400 million. The American Cancer Society puts these donations to work, by investing in groundbreaking research in every type of cancer and providing free information, programs and services to cancer patients and their caregivers. We’re fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer, in our community and everyone else’s.
how Can i get involved?
There are more than 30 different Relay For Life events each year across Southern Utah and Nevada in communities from Beaver County, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada. You can get involved in your community by joining a Relay For Life committee, by starting a Relay Team, or by becoming a local event sponsor. Whatever you can do, gets us one step closer to finding a cure! Please join us and become part of the Relay Movement!

My dad was born in 1923. 18 years later, he landed his first real job as a machinist in a large foundry company. Dad would continue to work for that same company until his retirement in 1976. During the many years I spent with my dad, particularly after he retired, I rarely heard him talk much about money. Certainly, he never talked about the Stock Market. That’s because, like so many of his generation, dad never owned any stocks... thought they were a gamble as he put it. Dad believed in working hard, and saving hard – he wasn’t about to risk his hard earned money in the stock market.
A lot has changed since dad retired. Ironically, a couple of years after he walked away from the safety and security of 36 years with the same company, Congress walked in with a new concept called the 401(k) plan. Well, actually it was officially dubbed the revenue act of 1978, but it quickly became well known as the “mother of all retirement plans.” Now, many more Americans are invested in the stock market than ever before. A recent study entitled, “Investors can manage Psyche to capture Alpha”, reveals a startling fact that falls right in line with what dad had believed: investing in the stock market does not guarantee you’ll make big money. In fact, this study, which was conducted by the independent research firm Dalbar, reveals that while the S&P 500 earned a respectable 9.14% (over the past 20 years), the average equity investor only earned a smaller 3.83%
So what happened?
According to Dalbar, the huge difference in average stock market returns vs. the low returns earned by the average investor is, as they put it, “the result when investors yield to psychological factors.” The commentary from Dalbar goes on to say, “The psychological factors that batter away at average investor returns remain dominant and the ‘code’ to crack these behaviors remains elusive.” With all due respect to Dalbar and all the other financial folks scratching their heads, I think I have the solution to the “code”.
The problem is not the psyche of investors, but rather, the psyche of “savers” who have been lured by Wall Street into believing that they are actually “Investors” when they are not. You see, I really don’t think things have changed much since dad’s day of saving hard and protecting your money, as opposed to taking more risk in the stock market. In other words, the majority of the folks out there, in my experience and much industry research, are savers, not investors.
Shakespeare said, “A rose by any other name, is still a rose.” Or as dad used to say, “You gotta call a spade, a spade.” What I say is this: if you are truly an “Investor”, great. But if you’re like most Americans – i.e., a Saver – then stop listening to Wall Street and all their hype about investing in the stock market

and move to safer ground. I’m not saying that nobody should invest in the stock market. It has its rightful place, but it’s not for everyone. To find out whether you’re a Saver or Investor, go to www.3personalities.com and take an interesting five-minute test that will help you determine which financial personality you really are.
As the sign-on page claims, this financial profile test is not intended to pigeonhole or oversimplify anyone. It does not pretend to be the instant cure for your financial ills and frustrations. Rather, this simple test has one objective: to help Savers, Investors, and Speculators define and discover their true financial personality, so they can feel more comfortable about who they are and where to invest their money.
My advice to you is this: find a trusted financial advisor to talk to about your
retirement goals. They can help you decide which products to focus on when it comes to your 401(k), IRA’s or other retirement accounts.
Knowing whether you are a Saver, Investor, or Speculator is the most important thing you can do when it comes to your money. Once you discover your true financial personality, the investing is easier.
Have a great Spring and God Bless!

A remarkable variety of flowers, in a magnificent variety of colors, bloom throughout the spring season on the public lands surrounding Mesquite. It is hard to predict the date when the spring bloom will be at its best. In fact, flowers and cacti bloom at their own pace, and may not bloom in great numbers some years. A general rule of thumb would be to get out into the back country as often as possible between February and May, always with camera in hand. There may be one or another glorious display of blossoms on every trip. Don’t be disappointed if the flowers are sparse on any one trip, there is always the magnificent scenery of rugged mountains and washes to enjoy!
Where to go to see the best spring bloom? For the average person who travels by car, the paved and/or graveled portion of Gold Butte Road can offer a lovely display of yellows, purples, and yucca flowers. The familiar desert marigolds and purple sage bushes often bloom in unison. The sticky-sweet fragrance of the yuccas and Joshua Tree blooms can be over-whelming. It must make bees dizzy trying to figure out which nectar to sample first!
Some years the lower hillsides surrounding Whitney Pockets crossroads are blanketed in golden poppies. Again, expectations may not be met if the moisture or temperature has not been exactly right to produce a bumper crop. Take beauty where it stands—photos of red and white rocks make fascinating photographic studies of Earth’s past, so you never go home from Gold Butte empty hearted.
Taking the high road over Limn Kiln Pass can be a rocky adventure, but the flowers, bushes and cacti are vivid at these elevations. Here you can see waxy green chollas, pink phlox, tall stalks of penstimon, and delicate cliff roses, to name only a few. Red Indian paintbrushes are generally more lush and colorful at higher elevations, and the magenta hedgehog cactus blooms are startlingly beautiful. The cool air, the vista of the Grand Canyon Parashant from the top of the pass, and the possibility of spotting a bobcat or mule deer make this a trip to repeat.

the landscape of southern Nevada often repels those who
haven’t had the opportunity to see it up close and personal.
A drive-by view on the I-15 at 75mph can’t possibly show

needs to slow down to a tortoise pace to catch up with

pear cactus on its east slope. This area is best traveled by 4x4 or high clearance vehicle, as the turnoffs from Carp-Elgin road quickly turn to bumps and washouts. The cactus beauties are joined by winding mariposa lilies, chicory, and happy globe mallow bushes that grow in the Toquop Wash countryside. It is also one of the rare areas where Apache plumes grow in the selenium-rich soil along the road. Be sure to take a desert flower ID book (color photos, of course) to record when and where a prize photo is taken. Never pass up the chance to take a photo, thinking you will return next week. The blooms will be gone as quickly as they appear, and opportunity may only knock once.
Mesquite’s most outstanding geological feature, the iconic Flat Top Mesa, is home to sand dunes, desert brush lands and a surprising Joshua forest. A hike or drive on the Mesa is absolute magic any time of year, but springtime offers exceptional sights. Hiking the dunes on the east side provides vistas of Mesquite and the possibility of sighting tortoise burrows—maybe even the tortoise itself! Along the sandy trails, the desert primroses are often thick, showing off their pretty white petals and golden centers. A huge colony of
cotton top cacti live in the rocky outcrop near the entrance gate. Lovely blue larkspur and other bush-type flowers live on the northwest side of the mesa. A springtime drive through the mysterious Joshua Tree forest on the far west side is often rewarded by sights of huge clusters of blossoms.
While the opportunities to view and photograph desert flowers can be endless, the easiest place of all to sample a predictable spring show is the center median of I-15, between Beaver Dam and the Virgin Gorge. The ground is literally covered with waving orange bushes of globe mallow for a couple weeks each spring. Sometimes a field of pink primroses pop out beside the northbound lanes near the Virgin River bridge. Only nature knows its schedule!
When headed out on a “Spring Fling” flower safari, remember to take a camera with a fully charged battery to avoid crushing disappointment of missing a shot. Remember, too, that this is the desert, and all normal preparations for desert travel should be followed. Lots of water, sun protection, sturdy shoes, well-prepared vehicle, and a general sense of where you are headed. Use BLM maps or Google to preview your proposed route, and tell a friend what time to expect you home. Flat tires, like beauty, happen when you least expect them!

It is incumbent upon all of us to secure our homes using the best and most affordable methods possible, not only to protect our property, but to potentially protect our loved ones as well. Anyone who has been the victim of a burglary will tell you that it is an unnerving violation of the sanctity of your home.
Aside from the physical aspects of home security, there is a definite mental component here as well. Home security must be an ‘everyday thing’, and not an issue to be concerned with on an occasional or semi-regular basis. For example, one can have the best window and door locks, but if they are not routinely used, the house is needlessly exposed, thereby making it a much more vulnerable target.
The majority of residential burglaries
are perpetrated during daytime or early evening hours, when thieves believe no one is home. Most are committed by juveniles, drug addicts, and other common thieves. They are looking for items of value they can turn over quickly, either to a fence (a person who ‘buys’ stolen items from crooks) a drug dealer in trade for drugs, or to anyone willing to knowingly buy stolen goods.
Some burglars will ‘case’ a home to determine activity before breaking in. Other burglars might feign a desire to contact the homeowner by knocking on the door or ringing the bell. If someone answers, the crook will make up some phony reason as to why he or she is there. If there is no response to the door knock, the burglar will quickly disable the lock mechanism and enter, or he or she will go around the back or side of the
home to search for an easier or secluded entry point.
There are some burglary teams that actually target homes in which the homeowner is present. These crooks usually prefer seniors, but they have been known to use their trickery on homeowners of all ages, and on both males and females. Typically, while working in pairs, they will wear some sort of uniform shirt making it appear they represent a local utility of some type.
When the homeowner answers, the con-artist thieves deliver the believable, but phony reason for their presence, in order to win the confidence and trust of the homeowner. Then, while the homeowner is distracted, his or her partner quickly rummages through the inside of the home looking for small items of value that he or she can steal.
Solicitors canvassing neighborhoods and folks dropping advertising fliers on front porches can be potential burglars. They might also be casing the neighborhood to select targets for later break-ins. When someone is acting in a suspicious or conspicuous manner, a call to the police department might be in order.

In keeping with the spring cleaning theme of this issue, we are provided with an excellent opportunity to assess or re-evaluate our own home security issues. with respect to the western portion of the united states, FbI statistical data reveals that there has been a slight increase in the numbers of property crimes over the past couple of years. property crimes are comprised of thefts, vandalism, and of course, burglary, the main topic of this discussion. burglary is defined as the felonious breaking into the house (or business) of another with the intent to steal or commit any other felony.

“cat burglar” or a “hot prowl” burglar, or by various other names, but the method of operation is the same. This burglar is far more dangerous than the others, because he is a sexual deviate and a predator. He gets his thrills by breaking into homes late at night or during early morning hours, when people are usually sleeping.
This burglar is more active in warmer climates or in summer months because he prefers to enter the home via an open (or unlocked) window, or sliding glass door which the homeowner has left open for night-time ventilation. Once inside, he will steal small items, such as wallets, purses, money, jewelry, etc. However, when he happens upon a female or a child to his “liking”, he will perpetrate a sexual assault or molestation, often at knifepoint or gunpoint.
Burglary prevention should be embraced by all homeowners and renters. Consider two locks for each door and window. Use lights on timers for indoors, and well-placed lighting around the exterior. Some homeowners also add cameras and video recorders to their home security. As to landscaping, particularly in the back or side yards, plants and trees should be kept well trimmed to ensure windows are not hidden.
Neighborhood Watch programs work, but strong homeowner participation is essential for success. Knowing one’s neighborhood and maintaining vigilance in a common sense and logical manner is important to home security as well.
Burglar alarms with alarm signs posted strategically around the property do provide a level of deterrence. If given
the preference, more often than not, a ‘common’ burglar would prefer to break into a non-alarmed home than one which is alarmed with signs posted on the property.

Sports Medicine professionals can help prevent and treat injuries that affect the body’s flexibility, mobility and strength. And, just as important, these specialists can provide important information about how to exercise properly and make the most of your body’s physical capabilities and limitations so you can pursue the activities you enjoy, safely.
Types of movement-related injuriesAcute injuries occur because of an incident, such as impact or a fall. These injuries might include a deep cut or bruise, an ankle sprain, a muscle strain, a dislocation or bone fracture. Acute injuries involve body trauma and should be treated immediately.
Chronic injuries – or “overuse injuries” – develop over a period of time, as a result of repetitive motion, such as running, overhead throwing, or extending a limb (such as swinging a tennis racket). Overuse injuries can also occur when you increase the intensity, duration or frequency of an activity too quickly.
Other factors that contribute to overuse injuries involve not warming up sufficiently before beginning the activity, improper technique, wrong equipment (lack of good running/walking shoes, for example), or specific anatomical issues such as weak knees, flat arches, or an old injury that flares. Examples of these types of injuries might include stress fractures, tendonitis

What is a sports medicine specialist? A sports medicine specialist is either a doctor trained in the prevention and non-operative management of injury, or an orthopedic surgeon with specialized sports medicine training. These specialists help build, maintain and protect your body’s bones, joints, tendons and ligaments to support smooth, efficient and pain-free activity.
Approximately 90 percent of injuries treated by a sports medicine specialist are non-surgical, according to the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine. A sports medicine doctor can offer a variety of non-surgical treatments, typically by partnering with physical and occupational therapists and other rehabilitation professionals. Your sports medicine specialist can recommend alternatives to surgery, involving less downtime, so you’re able to resume your chosen activity more quickly – armed with new knowledge about how to prevent future injuries.
Whether you’re simply hoping to alleviate pain and increase mobility so you can carry out daily activities, or you’re an athlete anxious to return to the field of play, a sports medicine specialist can design and carry out a treatment plan to help you to stay active for better health.

There is a growing trend in travel with large families traveling together. The technical term is Multigenerational Travel and in this day of “E” everything, families just want to spend some time together and re-connect. Grandparents are taking their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren on memory making vacations around the world. When it comes to Multigenerational Travel, Disney offers some of the best experiences for every member of the family.
Disney knew families wanted the Disney experience outside of the theme parks, so they created a tour company just for families: Adventures by Disney®. They provide guided tours around the world, each of them showcasing unique experiences with the “Disney Difference” every step of the way. From scavenger hunts in the Louvre Museum, to making pizza on a real Italian farm, to tracking wild animals with a wily bush ranger in South Africa, families experience the heart and soul of the destinations they visit. There are 19 itineraries for families to explore including: Australia, Costa Rica, The Galapagos, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Egypt and even a South African safari. The tours include transportation, most meals, exclusive activities and plenty of free time. Adventures by Disney® tours feature unique hotel accommodations including a luxurious castle in Ireland and a villa in Tuscany. From Machu Picchu to The Great Barrier Reef, Adventures by Disney® offers an upscale tour experience and creates memories for your family that last a lifetime.
Disney’s “Imagineers” did not stop with the tours and recently created a special family retreat on the western shore of Oahu. They brought Hawaiian stories to life in every aspect of their newest project, Aulani - A Disney Resort and Spa. This beautiful resort encompasses over 21 acres and is located on a white sandy beach with tropical gardens, turquoise lagoons, and stunning waterfalls. The grand lobby reflects the nature of the islands and the spirit of the people with lava rock that rises up through the floor and pools of water. Of course, it would not be Disney without the traditional cast of characters.
Mickey and the gang left the mainland, put on their island wear, and join guests at special events and meals throughout the resort. The Aulani - A Disney Resort and Spa provides activities for every member of the family. Adults enjoy time for relaxing at the 18,000 square foot spa or golfing at the 18-hole golf course designed by Ted Robinson. Children ages 3-12 will want to visit Aunty’s Beach House, the largest kids’ club on the island. Aunty’s features pool parties, lawn events, character dining, and more. Other recreation facilities include the Waikolohe Stream, Menehune Adventure Trail, Rainbow Reef Snorkel Lagoon, 3 swimming pools, and the storytelling fire pit - just to name a few. Aulani is the perfect Hawaiian family vacation, “Disney style”.
As I think about my customers, there are quite a few families enjoying multigenerational travel. I often hear the comment “we are going to enjoy our inheritance together and create vacation memories as a family”. It is so fun to assist with their planning as they decide where to go. Seeing their pictures and hearing about their experiences when they return is the best part of my job. Unlike a gift that is forgotten or worn out after time, travel is something a family will cherish for a lifetime. Regardless of where you go, traveling together as a family is more than just visiting a destination. It is a new family heirloom and an experience that will create lifelong memories for multiple generations.

This past October, Dean Jarvis, the founder of the Amputee Long Drive Championship from Marysville, Tennessee, was looking for a way to introduce Golf to the Paralympic Games through the sport of Long Drive.
For the past 18 years, Mesquite, Nevada has been host to the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships. ESPN carried Christmas morning broadcasts for 17 of those years and now the Golf Channel and NBC Sports have picked up the event and made October “Long Drive” Month on the Golf Channel. They produced three preview shows and hosted a live hour coverage of the Final 8 Championship. NBC Sports also aired Long Drive for the first time on Network Television, Dec. 28, 2013.
Naturally, Dean decided to host his second event at the world-famous Long Driver Stadium and Grid at the Mesquite NV Sports & Event Complex. Along with the top-hitting arm and leg amputee golfers in North America, he included a paralyzed and a blind golfer and hence the “ParaLong Drive” was born. He also invited teen-inventor Easton LaChappelle who demonstrated his robotic arm and vision for the future to help
those who are paralyzed to become self-sufficient through technology. On Oct. 29th, 2013, the first Mesquite NV ParaLong Drive winner was Jared Brentz who hit a 358-yard drive in the Match Play Championship round. Brentz, a double-leg amputee from Nashville, Tenn, bested Brendon Jacks, a single-leg amputee from Prescott Valley, Ariz.
The next three U.S. ParaLong Drive events will be the Mesquite NV ParaLong Drive Nationals (May 8-9); the Amputee Long Drive Championship (July 17-18), at Sevierville Golf Club
(Tenn.); and the Mesquite NV ParaLong Drive Worlds (Oct.
16-17). The North American One Arm Golf Association is
having their Championship event in Mesquite this June. Other disabled golf organizations are also looking to hold golf and ParaLong Drive events here.
As we witnessed during the October ParaLong Drive demonstrations, there are many life-altering stories to be told through these Long Drive events for amputee, paralyzed, blind, autistic and other disabled athletes. Many of them are wounded vets dealing with their new physical realities, former athletes debilitated by an accident or illness, or those who have adapted to an at-birth disability. Golf is recognized as one of the top adaptive sports to motivate disabled athletes (lifting their spirits and keeping them active). The event itself gives them something to train for and look forward to during the course of the year. The National Alliance for Accessible Golf announced at the Orlando PGA Show in January that the potential for growth for disabled golf is in the millions, thus an opportunity for Mesquite NV to become the center of the ParaLong Drive universe and home to Long Drive events for amputees, paralyzed, blind, Autistic, wounded veterans, and many other organizations.
For more information, such as videos, player bios, results, etc., you can log on to www.amputeelongdrivechampionship.comand on Facebook at “Mesquite NV paralong Drive.”

Last November during Wolf Creek Golf Course’s annual executive team board meeting golf course co-owners Cory and Chad Clemetson challenged team members to set a goal for 2014.
Some executive team members said they have children who play sports in Mesquite and related the financial challenges many families in the valley face when their kids participate in sports. Many families struggle to pay for shoes, uniforms, equipment and registration fees, especially if they have more than one child playing sports.
The Clemetsons, who have kids of their own who play sports, immediately got behind the idea and the Kids for Sports Foundation was born.
They agreed with executive board members that kids are the foundation of society and that participating in
sports teaches important life skills such as teamwork, goal setting and time management. Sports participation builds self-esteem and boosts self-confidence, they said.
Studies back them up. Kids who are active in sports achieve higher grades in school, form greater attachments and more frequent interactions with instructors and parents, develop stronger peer relationships and are less likely to engage in risky behavior.
Foundation goals are ensuring that any child in the valley who wants to participate in organized sports can do so regardless of a family’s financial
status plus providing valley children with sports equipment, scholarships and the possibility of cash for out-of-town trips.
The foundation could also support local teams by helping to pay field use fees, purchase team uniforms, sports equipment, and show support by attending tournaments.
Kids for Sports Foundation was launched during the Jan. 27th Mesquite Economic Business Preview at Wolf Creek Golf Course Terrace Restaurant. Community and business leaders, recognizing the foundation’s potential for unifying the community by helping kids and their families, pledged generous donations to the organization.

Bill and Elaine Hurd, Bob Shively, Anne Hunt and Greg Lee each contributed $1,000 to the foundation on top of the $5,000 the Clemetsons gave to kick off the Kids for Sports Foundation.
Formation of the foundation board has begun and strategies are being developed. The Wolf Creek executive team is in the process of having the Kids for Sports Foundation’s logo and name trademarked and a 501(c)3 developed.
Two fundraising events have been planned for 2014. A wine festival is scheduled for April 30th and a Fourth of July Golf Tournament is beginning to take shape.
“We’ve been looking for ways to get people together who wouldn’t normally sit down at the same table,” Cory Clemetson said. “We see the foundation as a great way to unify the community by getting behind kids.”
Last year my wife and daughter became interested in a new way to garden called vertical gardening, also known as pallet gardening. I helped them gather the required materials and thought it would be the least I could do to get the project started for them. Like many of the things that I “help” with, I kind of got a little possessive of the project. I wasn’t really sold on the concept of vertical gardening since I didn’t see many advantages to it, but it did look kind of fun.
This is how I went about it after reading a little and adding my ideas.
Supplies:(Pallets come in all different sizes, so this is a generic list)
• Shipping pallet• Commercial grade weed
barrier fabric, enough to cover the back of the pallet
• 1 large bag of potting soil per pallet
• 1 Tarp• 30- 50 starter plants per
pallet. Be mindful of the space needed for each plant to grow properly.
• 2- 3 scrap pieces of 1x4 board per pallet, optional
• Wood stain, optional
Begin by removing the bottom slats, the ones that will be the back when standing up. Stretch commercial grade weed barrier fabric across the bottom and one end of the pallet and staple it to the 2x4 stringers, the sides of the pallet. Replace the bottom slats. The slats on the bottom are pretty far apart so it is advisable to add a few scrap 1x4 boards; if the slats are too far apart the fabric will not have enough support. This will make more sense later. I also put one
across the end that I stretched the fabric over to create a solid bottom. Some people recommend using plywood over the fabric, I will explain later why I didn’t. The slats on the top of the pallet were pretty randomly spaced so I took some of them off and placed them so that the spaces were progressively smaller toward the bottom. I figured that the soil would have more pressure on the bottom.
At this point I thought it would look good if I stained the pallets to make them look better and help preserve the wood. This gave me a chance to use up some stain that I had left over from something. I am sure I will remember later why I saved it.
Lay a tarp down to help with clean up and lay the pallet on it right side up. Start filling the voids in the pallet with the potting soil by working it between the slats with your hands until it is pretty full. My dogs really like to dig whenever I do, but thankfully they couldn’t figure
out how to dig in between the slats. There’s one advantage to a pallet garden that I didn’t think of! Work the soil in more by lifting the pallet a few inches and bounce it on the ground. Then stand it on end and bounce it a little more. This is one point that the fabric needs the support of the extra slats that I recommend adding. Lay the pallet back down and add more soil in the top area where it has settled. Give the pallet a good misting with the hose sprayer to clean the excess soil off of the top and finish settling the soil.
Now it’s time for plants. This is where you can get real creative. You can make beautiful mosaics of flowers and trailing vines, or keep it simple and plant veggies and herbs. Whatever you decide, make sure the plants all have the same water, sun and soil needs. Since we’re still going to get a little more frost, I only used plants that can take some cold weather. I planted well established pansies along both sides

and sugar peas down the middle. I planted them tight together to hold the soil in when I eventually stand the pallet on end. Once the slots were filled with plants and the soil was well moistened again, I left the whole thing lay flat for several days to allow the plants to put out new roots. Once I was pretty sure that the soil wouldn’t fall out when I started standing the pallet on end, I leaned it against a column at about a 45 degree angle. It is easy to water at this point. Lightly spray water against the slats and let it drip onto the space below each slat. You will want to leave it this way for a couple of weeks. When it is time to stand it perpendicular, you can attach some plywood feet to the pallet to make it free standing. The big benefit of doing this is the ability to use both sides of the pallet; this is why I did not finish the back with plywood. If you choose to use both sides, punch a few holes in the fabric and plant some trailing vines, peas, tomatoes or any vine type plant.
This type of gardening is probably better suited for someone that lives in a town home with limited patio space, but I must admit it makes a good conversation piece and has been pretty fun.

Now is the time to crack open the windows, let the refreshing breeze blow through and start the annual rituals of spring cleaning!
People everywhere begin busting out the brooms, mops and essential oils. Not only do they provide exquisite fragrances that can directly affect everything from your mood to your lifespan, therapeutic grade essential oils also possess antibacterial, antidepressant, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties just to name a few.
Most of us feel somewhat of an urge to eliminate the impurities that have accumulated in our homes and bodies from the celebratory winter months. There are a variety of ways to easily put into practice the use of essential oils and enjoy the benefits immediately.
The most common way to use them in your home is to diffuse them in the air. This can be done using a cold air diffuser specially designed to atomize a micro-fine mist. This disperses molecules in the air and doubles as a use for the body through inhalation. Filling a spray bottle with water and a few drops of desired oils is great substitute to a diffuser and can be used anywhere. Putting a few drops on cotton balls and placing them in car or home vents also creates a nice effect.
It is beneficial to have a clean area or surface before using your oils of choice.
As an alternative to chemicals, clean and sanitize surfaces using one part hydrogen peroxide, one part water and a couple drops of your favorite oil in a spray bottle. This can be done using distilled vinegar and water, whatever your preference.
Is there a specific atmosphere you would like to create in your environment?
To freshen and uplift use citrus singles or blends, lemon, orange, grapefruit and lime purification blend is particularly effective for strong odors and places we keep our furry family members. Looking for the calm and soothing effect try lavender, peace and calming blend, chamomile and valor.
Does your fabric furniture need a pick me up; try purification blend, lavender, citrus singles or blends in your spray bottle and mist over the surface. Experiment a bit and find what it is that appeals to you.
Now that a few of the home applications are covered lets address some of the basics of personal use.
Essential oils can be used internally, externally and even as an addition to cooking. Just a word of caution always be aware of allergies and skin reactions. It is recommended to test a small area on the skin before consumption or whole body presentation.
Lemon is simple oil that can be used internally by adding a few drops to your

drinking water. Numerous benefits are on the list here; improving memory, increasing circulation, combating anxiety, hypertension, and tumor growth and easing digestive problems. The skin is the largest organ of the body and assimilates products very quickly into the blood stream. It is important to remember to test for sensitivity and keep carrier oil such as olive or grape seed handy for dilution when using them on the skin. If in fact you experience a reaction use the carrier oil on the skin and then wipe with a cloth. They are not water soluble. Some may have a UV sensitivity in which case it is recommended to avoid direct sun
exposure for suggested period of time and use a sunscreen. The oils once applied continue to work in the system over a period of one to three daysI use Young Living products in my massage therapy practice and have enjoyed educating my guests on the wide variety of ways to incorporate them. It has been fun to get feedback after a firsthand experience. Applications to the bottom of the feet, temples, wrists ears and along the spine are all key areas for application. Adding oils to a bath with a cup of Epsom salts and soaking allows the body to assimilate the products very effectively as well.
Inhalation is another technique that is useful on the go or if you need a quick pick me up. Using Thieves blend, Immuno power, RC, and eucalyptus are highly useful and commonly used for decongesting and protecting the immune system especially throughout the cold season.
Essential oils have amazing properties and many uses. Invite them into your seasonal or even daily regimen. Experiment and come up with your own ways to incorporate them, the possibilities are endless… Enjoy!
