Few things seem more lonely than the image of an elderly person who is unable anymore to get out and do things. You can help by volunteering as a Friendly Visitor for the Assistance for Independent Living Program that serves homebound elderly in Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert, Chandler and Apache Junction.
As a Friendly Visitor, you'll spend two hours a month visiting an isolated senior citizen, a volunteer opportunity that requires nothing but the ability to listen and chat. You might also get asked to play a game of cards or chess. But most of the time, someone who is homebound just needs a companion to spend a little time bringing the outside world to them.
Friendly Visitor volunteers must have a driver's license, pass a background check, and attend orientation and training. For more information, call Ellen Terry at (480) 966-9704 or visit www.evadultresources.org online.

Utes in the Outback
Aussie ute owners have taken brand loyalty into the twilight zone. You're either a Ford man or a Holden man
Posted: 23 Apr 2013
The stories have become legends. There's the Holden-mad bride-to-be who dragged her Ford-loving husband to an HSV dealership and made him buy one before she said yes. The thousands - thousands - of Australians with Ford or Holden logos permanently inked on their skin. The thousands more who instead opted to have the face of their favourite race driver tattooed on their necks. Which probably explains why, when V8 Supercar driver Craig Lowndes switched sides from Holden to Ford in 2001, he received countless death threats - real, serious, police-investigated death threats - from the same people who'd spent a lifetime cheering for him. There was a time when drivers had to remove their team uniforms before entering crowd areas, or risk being knocked out by a flying beer bottle. There are the Commodores or Falcons burnt to the ground after mistakenly driving into the wrong supporter area at race meetings. Even the parents who threaten to disown their own children if they switch allegiances.

Our quote may be off by a word or two — it is based on memory — but its meaning is not. The popular DJ was spot on in his kind words. Benjie Riggs truly was a civic-minded soul who was small in physical stature, but who wore the smile of a giant and the heart of a lion.
A dedicated volunteer with Bradley County Fire & Rescue for more than 40 years up until his unexpected passing, Benjie was laid to rest last Thursday by an array of family, friends and fellow volunteers who knew him best for his love of community, photography and his Democratic affiliation.
Yes, this humble little man stood down to no one when it came to politics. In Bradley County anyway, he operated in the minority as a dedicated Democrat who devoted his time, energy and personal talents to local elections and to the Bradley County Election Commission. His was a familiar face at the polls in early voting and on election day working as a dedicated volunteer.
Benjie's death on Memorial Day came with sad irony. Having been born into a military family, Memorial Day was a cherished time for the longtime Bradley Countian who settled here after his father's retirement from the U.S. Army. Benjie was a senior at Bradley Central High School and he quickly became involved with the annual staff.
It came as no accident. Benjie had a love for photography that dated back to his early elementary school years. An infatuation with this creative hobby led him as an adult to establish his own professional business, Benjie's Photos.
As any business should, it brought income, but Benjie used it as well to expand his own volunteerism. He joined the former Civil Defense organization which at the time was led by the late Morris Greene, himself a fixture in the Cleveland and Bradley County community who is remembered today as much for his civic commitments as his longtime State Farm Insurance business.
As a Civil Defense volunteer, Benjie used his photography skills to better the cause of the local organization. Later, he would work closely with local ambulance operations and Bradley County Fire-Rescue.
One who recognized Benjie's value to the organizations is Troy Spence, executive director of the Bradley-Cleveland Emergency Management Agency who is currently serving in a dual capacity as Bradley County fire chief.
"Benjie took many of the photos and videos we used to analyze and study various scenes we have worked," Spence told our newspaper. "His photography was used to train many, many rescue personnel as well as document the scene in a professional manner."
Volunteer service. Emergency service. Photography service. Political service. People service.
All best describe the work, the talents, the passion and the love that Benjie Riggs held for all endeavors and any initiatives in which he had a hand.
Yet, of 60 years' worth of anecdotes pointing to the size of this little guy's heart one of the most enlightening is told by his sister, Debbie.
"A rescue crew including Benjie rolled onto a scene and all the men were of large stature except for Benjie," Debbie reflected. "The car had flipped and the person was trapped. Benjie crawled into the car, stabilized the driver and began much needed life-saving treatment."
It is a story of heroism, but Benjie would never have agreed to be tagged with such a lofty title.
Like the finest in salt-of-the-earth America, Benjamin "Benjie" Riggs was a common man who bore an uncommon outlook on life.
He will be missed.
But his spirit will be remembered by any, and by all, who were blessed to have known him and to have walked the path of life with him.
Goodbye, Benjie.
And thank you for reminding us of the truth in that dear old adage about a book and its cover.

I'm usually not into lip glosses as I feel they are always a hassle to reapply throughout the day. A couple of days ago, I noticed that I haven't tried buying a drugstore lipgloss in years and I mean 5+ years or so. I thought that a long wearing lipgloss was probably very unlikely and that's the sole purpose why I picked this up to try. I got mine in the color sunset, it's a sandy peach color with silver shimmers; a natural color with a kick. I tried this a couple of days ago and fell in love. I only used one coat and it lasted for about 3 hours through eating and drinking. Throughout those 3 hours, my lips did not become dry at all. In fact they were very well moisturized!
I applied this over a coral lipstick from SkinFood and it was gorgeous. The product is a little tacky, but that's the staying power so it doesn't really bother me. I also love the applicator as it applies the perfect amount and the product itself smells like candy. The only con I see with this product is that if you apply too many coats in one time it CAN get goopy. It's better to wait between coats so that the first coat sets. Luckily for me I only need one coat anyway. Will be purchasing more whenever there is a sale.
I love this lip gloss! It stays on for hours and make your lips look plump and juicy. It does feel sticky at times but it's worth it because of the way it makes my lips look! I use Suede, and the color is awesome!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like these lip glosses. They are really pretty, last a good amount of time (not eight hours by any means) and the packaging looks nice. I would purchase again!
Alright, I bought this because I wanted a long lasting lip gloss. Perfect product, right? Eh- not really. It stays on for a VERY long time, and I do like the different colors they offer. But why I wouldn't but this lip gloss again is because the way it feels on your lips is horrible to me. Its SO sticky and feels almost plastic-y! If you don't think that would bother you, then you should try this gloss. But if you're like me, sensitive to the way things actually feel, then I would not suggest this gloss. And i know some people are curios about this- it doesn't really smell like anything. So almost everything about the gloss is great, except the texture.
More reviews by BrandyAlexander21
I usually don't wear many lipgloss products, but I heard good things about this and saw a youtube video with a girl that bought the shade Barely Nude and it looked great on her.
Tonight I went to CVS and picked it up and I was kind of disappointed to see there are no stickers or wrapping on these, so anyone can just open it up and swatch the color and get their germs all in it and put it back without anyone knowing. Shame on you L'Oreal! I would expect that from a cheaper company. For $11 they could afford to put some sort of shrink wrap on so only the person bringing it home can take off the lid.
I like how the cap is somewhat mirrored so you can get a quick glance to make sure you stayed inside the lines with the gloss, and check your eye make up too.
I don't really notice any smell or taste with this formula, maybe the slightest plastic waxy kind but barely. I like how the applicator is easy to use and covers a lot of area. The gloss itself is very smooth and ten minutes later it still feels very soft and moist, not really sticky.
I might buy another shade if they have a lighter pink with no sparkle, the barely nude is just a tad mauve on me and I have tan olive skin so that tells me it's a pretty dark color, not so much "Barely Nude" but it's still pretty and has no glitter so I'm happy.

Not a bad lip gloss, but not the greatest. Mine smells like a black forrest cake, literally. I love the packaging, the wand and also the smell, however the consistency is a bit too sticky for my liking. Not a bad lipgloss if you like more of a thick, sticky gloss, however I like mine to be a bit lighter than this. I would re-purchase again if I could find it cheap.
This is my HG lipgloss!!! It's just the right medium pigment for me. It doesn't dry my lips out and actually plumps them a bit. I like the wand, it pulls out just the right amount. I am adding colors to my collection, but I especially like the reds. The staying power is great as well!!!! Oh and I avoid the colors with glitter. Too old for that!!! lol
More reviews by BCmakeupartistry
This is my favorite daily lip gloss. Keep in mind I only use sticky lipglosses, because they are the only ones that last. This lasts 5-6 hours without reapplying and the colors are beautiful.
My favorite drugstore brand lipgloss!!! I've tried so many others throughout the years and have always came back to Infalllible. I love the sleek precision brush, and that the colors are beautifully iridescent and glamorous. It goes on so smooth, with great coverage, so you only need 1 or 2 coats and you'll look like you have amazingly beautifully painted lips. This product is a gloss/lipstick in one!

Hi all!
This is probably OT, but since there are so many wise folks on the board, I thought I'd ask here. Does anyone know how to remove the fold lines from a plastic shower curtain? I just bought one, and it looked so great in the picture, but when I took it out of the plastic sleeve and hung it up, it looks terrible. (I have an outdoor plastic picnic table tablecloth that is the same way.) Any suggestions? |

Hang it out in the warm sun. |
Hang it -- gravity will work just fine :-) (along with a few warm showers .....) |
- Posted by peoniesandposies (My Page) on Mon, Aug 3, 09 at 18:04
If you're in a hurry, just leave the curtain hanging and use a hair blower on it (ala the window shrink wrap that is popular). Otherwise time and a few hot showers will solve your problem. |
place in the dryer for a few minutes. |
I agree...put it in the dryer on low heat for a couple of minutes. After washing mine, I dry it in the dryer for a bit. |
All the above are methods I've successfully used in the past, but here's yet another. We have a round glass-topped table. I purchased an elasticized plastic tablecloth (fits tightly to the table top) for when we play cards or board games (it doesn't move once on the table). The only thing that removed the wrinkles, after trying the things mentioned above, was our Shark steam cleaner. Placed the tablecloth on the table and steamed them right out. -Grainlady |

When I read the subject I was wondering if you were talking about Zsa Zsa Gabor or Joan Rivers! All of the above is my idea for the original intent. |

Reasonable Doubt: Police under microscope with B.C. Independent Investigations Office
Last week, Nancy Seto wrote about lawyers and self-regulation. Self-regulating professions or those with minimal civilian oversight get a lot of flack, and the landscape is changing. The public is accepting less and less self-regulation and new measures are being implemented to monitor insular, highly specialized, and powerful groups. In B.C., the police are the currently under the microscope.
Background for those not up to speed
Robert Dziekanski and Frank Paul are two men whose deaths at the hands of police resulted in civilian inquiries into police decisions and actions. The Braidwood Inquiry and the Davies Commission have fundamentally changed the way we police the police. As a direct result of these two inquiries, the B.C. government is establishing a new office, the Independent Investigations Office (IIO), which is responsible for investigating incidents where a person is grievously injured or killed at the hands of the police.
Until now there was the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner, Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP, and investigations by other police detachments. In the case of Jamie Haller, the Williams Lake girl that was punched in the face by a police officer while she was handcuffed, there was an investigation of the Williams Lake RCMP by the Abbottsford Police Department. These mechanisms of investigating deaths and bodily injury, for the most part, do not provide the level of transparency and rigor that the public requires to maintain confidence in our police forces. The alternative, the inquiries and the commissions, are cumbersome, lengthy, and extremely expensive.
So, this is not news. But what exactly is happening with the promised IIO?
The IIO is set to open this year (June 2012); the government is currently recruiting civilians with investigation skills and former RCMP officers or former police officers from outside B.C. that have not served as part of any force for at least five years. The dream is that one day the office will be composed entirely of civilians who have never been a part of any police force.
Understandably, the reason for recruiting former police officers now would be because most civilians will not have the investigatory experience necessary to make this office effective immediately. For the most part, leaving private investigators aside, it is hard to think of a profession or area of work that would engage in investigations similar to that of the police (or perhaps my imagination and experience limit me).
How do we make sure IIO investigations are fair and rigorous?
IIO investigations are subject to monitoring by a person who is not an IIO investigator to assess the integrity of any investigation. This person must swear an oath to impartially and fairly assess any investigation and, judging from the legislation, conducts an audit of an investigation and provides a written report to the chief civilian director.
A new office needs a strong leader. Who will run the IIO?
The IIO is under the control and management of the chief civilian director, who serves for an initial term of five years and may serve for a second term of five years, but no more. The person is responsible for appointing his (because the first chief civilian director is a man) investigating team and the civilian monitors that assess them.
The first IIO chief civilian director will be Richard Rosenthal, an American man, who spearheaded a movement towards establishing independent investigations offices in two other cities. One news article on Rosenthal explains that Rosenthal's career in monitoring and investigating police was kick started when he was a prosecutor in LA and he uncovered widespread corruption in the Rampart anti-gang taskforce police unit. The Rampart Scandal investigation resulted in a huge investigation and many criminal charges for corrupt police officers. The Rampart Scandal charges came to naught, however, and LA became the defendant in a 140 civil suits resulting in settlements totaling $140 million. In short, it was a disaster.
Needing to leave LA, Rosenthal moved onto Portland and later Denver where he set up offices similar to the IIO here. These offices had some success. It makes a difference when the government and the public supports the mandate of an independent investigations office. In Canadian news articles on the IIO, there seems to be the understanding that the B.C. IIO will take what Rosenthal was doing in Portland and Denver one step further making our IIO a forefront in independent oversight of police. Only time will tell if the IIO can fulfill this expectation, but it seems to be a good step forward right now.
Reasonable Doubt appears on Straight.com on Fridays. The column's writers, Laurel Dietz and Nancy Seto, are criminal defence lawyers at Cobb St. Pierre Lewis. You can send your questions for the column to them at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A word of caution: Don't take this column as personal legal advice, because it's not. It is intended for general information and entertainment purposes only.
Here's a list of the IIO's other shortcomings.
The IIO will not answer to the provincial Ombudsperson, seriously detracting from its transparency.
The IIO's transparency will be limited to a "monitor" who can review its investigations. But the monitor will be appointed by the IIO director.
The IIO will answer to the attorney general, leaving it open to political interference.
The IIO will come under the authority of B.C.'s Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner, itself a product of police culture. The OPCC will have the power to investigate the IIO.
Police will continue to investigate police accused of "less serious" offences, with a review conducted by the OPCC.
The BC Liberals point out that Thomas Braidwood supports their plan. But between writing his recommendations and endorsing the legislation, Braidwood changed his position radically. This legislation also has the unanimous approval of the NDP, who voted with the BC Liberals. It's also approved by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, which publicly congratulated the BC Liberals at least twice.
"Mr Rosenthal's tenure here was mostly characterized by his efforts to minimize the power and authority of our system's Citizen Review Committee, a 9-member panel whose role includes hearing appealed complaints of police misconduct. Rosenthal helped create the original rules for the CRC, then started rewriting those roles to minimize the citizen body's impact within two months...
More at Northern Insights:
Our activist lawyers, like the BCCLA, are too close to the NDP. The NDP has supported every BC Liberal manoeuvre on this issue since I started following it in 2006. Ontario ombudsperson Andre Marin would have been a perfect choice to head the IIO. But he'd probably turn the job down, I think partly because he'd see through the BC Liberal con job. B.C.'s establishment wouldn't have wanted him anyway.
In just a few days following Rosenthal's appointment last December, the MSM devoted far more attention to him than they've every shown to B.C.'s Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner. The recent, and brief, criticism about the OPCC's decision on the Alvin Wright shooting was almost unprecedented in the MSM. But we need to know more about who works for the OPCC and how they operate. Much of their work is undertaken in secrecy. And these guys will have the power to investigate the IIO.
The Straight has been almost alone in examining the OPCC. But here's a rare example of the MSM allowing a critical viewpoint:
I question RCMP participation in the new IIO, since I know they are corrupt. There is a well-established "police brotherhood" (basically gang system), where our federal police cover-up and ignore illegal misconduct by municipal police. (That I could prove in a court of law.) RCMP have had *plenty* of opportunity to look into an issue and their their abysmal failure to do means that now, even some federal cabinet ministers will need to be charged with serious Criminal Code offences, including obstructing justice.
When will the ticking time-bomb finally go off? Hopefully: pretty soon. This year. If Mr Rosenthal has some integrity - and that does remain to be seen - the public will likely see a mushroom cloud rising over Victoria police. That force will have a *serious* problem, if he is a man of integrity. If Mr Rosenthal says that force has done nothing wrong, the public can know he is corrupt and *not* a man of ethics.
It is likely obvious that my faith in such "watchdog" agencies is close to zero, based on long and bitter experience.
I sincerely hope that Mr Rosenthal is a man of integrity with a strong, serious belief in ethics. If he is...it is a long time coming. And I wonder: how many others have been waiting for justice?
