New Dermatology Office Opens in Sahuarita
A new dermatology office has opened in
Sahuarita. In response to increased demand and a
commitment to the community, Dr. Scott Sheftel
and his team opened the new office of HealthySkin
Dermatology, which has been in practice in
Southern Arizona for over 17 years. It has been
serving the Green Valley community for over five
years, initially seeing patients through Carondelet
facilities.
The new office, located at 18855 S. La Canada
Drive in Sahuarita, is a 2,600 square foot stateof-the-art facility offering medical, surgical
and cosmetic dermatology. The nine medical
dermatology providers who staff this office offer
full body skin exams and specialize in skin diseases
involving the hair, body and nails.
“We noticed several years ago an increase in
patients from the Sahuarita and Green Valley area
who were choosing to commute to central Tucson
to receive their dermatological care. We realized
that we could better serve this area if we had a
physical office to take care of the patients that have
been with us for many years,” comments Sheftel.
HealthySkin also specializes in skin cancer and
treats all skin conditions including psoriasis,
eczema, both teenage and adult acne as well
as other skin problems. The office also offers
cosmetic services, such as facial peels and cosmetic
injectables.
The Sahuarita office compliments the main office
in Tucson which offers comprehensive skin care
services. The Tucson office also offers Mohs
surgery and brachytherapy radiation treatment for
non-melanoma skin cancers as well as lasers for
skin care services.

“Our hope is that by expanding our offices
permanently into Sahuarita, we will be able to
provide residents in Sahuarita, Green Valley
and surrounding communities with access to
dermatological care that they might not have
otherwise been able to easily obtain because of
distance or availability,” says Sheftel.
“We are committed to healthy skin and preventative
healthcare for anyone who lives in the desert sun.
Skin cancer is very easily treated if caught early,
but it can be very serious if left unaddressed. Our
goal is to expand our Sahuarita clinic to offer a
full range of skin services offering comprehensive
medical skin care. I get tremendous satisfaction
and gratification working with patients of all ages
to treat and manage their skin conditions.”
The HealthySkin staff has enjoyed working in
the Sahuarita and Green Valley communities.
Thomas Brett Davis, PA-C, reflects, “I love going
to Sahuarita. The patients are all really kind and
they have that down-home feeling. They remind
me of the kind of folks I grew up around. ”

President’s Day
Most people and students get to have a “day off”
thanks to the celebration of our first President of
the United States of America. It was in 1885 when
the recognition of President George Washington
first became annual celebration.
The holiday was originally established in 1799,
after his death. Because George Washington was
viewed as a significant person in American history,
George Washington’s actual birthday, February 22
became a day of remembrance. However, the day
was moved in 1971 as part of the Uniform Monday
Holiday Act. This was an
attempt to create more
three-day weekends for
the nation’s workers.
Not only is George Washington’s birthday in
February, but Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan
and William Henry were born in the month of
February. There are some states who celebrate
each individual President but President’s Day is
now viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. Presidents,
past and present.
President’s Day is still known as “Washington’s
Birthday” by the federal government. If you are
one who gets to have the day off, remember why
you’re having a free day!

short career, Huppenthal announced the winner
to be Laughland. Amongst his fellow teachers,
peers, and students, this announcement caught
Laughland by complete surprise. As he stepped
forward to receive his award and a giant check for
$25,000, he was met with a standing ovation by
all in attendance.
Greeted by school board members and Walden
Grove principal, Teresa Hill, Laughland struggled
to find words to describe how he was feeling. He
later commented on the award and its significance
to him saying, “Obviously the money’s great, but
getting recognition for this and just reinforcing
what I do for a living is priceless.”
Renowned for its national recognition and
prestigious network of past recipients, the award
brings with it many benefits in addition to the
financial reward. It targets early to mid-career
teachers, principals, and other educators, and
celebrates their previous accomplishments and
vast potential for the future.
After starting his teaching career in Phoenix in
2006, he returned home to Indianapolis, where
he remained for four years before returning to
Arizona and joining the team at Walden Grove.
As student council advisor and baseball coach for
Walden Grove, Laughland’s commitment to the
school and its growing student body extends well
beyond the classroom.
Sahuarita Unified School District Superintendent,
Dr. Manny Valenzuela, said of Laughland, “This
prestigious national award is a recognition of Mr.
Laughland’s tireless commitment, innovative
practices, and genuine concern for the good of
students. He is an amazing ambassador for the
teaching profession and our community.”

Tips on Choosing – and Using – a Tax Preparer
When you first started out in your adult life, things
were probably pretty simple: no house, no spouse,
no kids, few investments. So, when it came time
to do your taxes, you might have gotten along just
fine by using Form 1040EZ - which, as the name
suggests, is pretty darn easy to use. Fast forward a
few years, however, and here you are today: family,
mortgage, 401(k), IRA, stocks, bonds, debts,
charitable contributions. Now, when you sit down
to do your taxes, they’re looking a lot more like
your high school trigonometry. If that’s the case,
it might be time for you to get some help.However,
anyone can claim to be a “tax preparer.” How can
you find the one that’s right for you? Here are a few
tips:
•Check Credentials
While your brother-in-law, your barber and your
daughter’s friend who is really good in math all may
be able to do your taxes, none of them are going to
be as familiar with tax laws as a CPA, a tax attorney
or an “enrolled agent” (an individual licensed
by the U.S. Treasury Department to represent
taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service). So,
before you hand over your tax returns to someone,
ask about his or her credentials and experience. If
your taxes are too complicated for you to handle,
you need a professional.
•Get References
Ask your friends, relatives and co-workers who they
use for their taxes, and if they’re satisfied with this
person.
•Avoid Preparers who Promise “Big Refunds”
No reputable tax preparer can guarantee you a
big refund - or any refund - before looking at your
taxes. Stay away from these people. Also, avoid tax
preparers who base their fee on a percentage of the
amount of the refund. While refunds are nice, you
don’t want one that might invite serious questions,
or an audit, from the IRS.
Get Organized
Once you have chosen a professional to do your
taxes, what can you expect? Can you just toss a
shoebox full of receipts, investment statements and
pay stubs at your preparer and then wait for your
return?
It’s not that easy. Even if you use a tax preparer,
you’re going to have to do some work, too. Try to be
as organized as possible with your documentation.
For example, you may want one envelope devoted
solely to investment information, one to earnings,
one to charitable gifts, one to other deductions,
and so on. The more organized you are, the easier
it will be for your tax professional to complete your
return in the most favorable manner possible.
However, don’t assume that what you’re giving to
your preparer is sufficient. If you have sold shares
of stock, make sure you’ve got the cost-basis of
those shares available.
If this information
is not printed on
your
statements,
call your investment
professional to get it.
Here’s one final tip:
See your tax preparer
as soon as possible.
Once the tax season
gets into late March,
you’ll find few people
anywhere as harassed
and harried as tax
preparers - so give
them the time they
need to help you.

What’s In Season: February 2014
Ever wonder what fruits or vegetables are in season? Well, here is a list of fruits and vegetables that are perfect for the Winter months.
Apples • Artichokes • Blackberries • Blueberries • Broccoli • Cabbage • Cauliflower • Carrots • Cucumber • Figs • French Beans • Garlic
Leeks • Lettuce • Mushrooms • Nectarines • Peaches •Pears • Plums • Red Onions • Spinach • Squash • Sweet Corn • Tomatoes
Take this opportunity to try new recipes. When shopping for these seasonal foods they are healthy, and cheaper to buy. Because these fruits and vegetables are in

in season, the price will go up. While at your local store check out the produce area and don’t miss out on some really great tasting and healthy food.

Creating Life by Design – A Women’s Conference
There comes a time in life where the choice to
downsize, let go of the old, clear out what is no
longer needed becomes a point of choice. It is a
natural part of evolution; we stop collecting stuff
and begin to settle into what is real – our heart’s
desires, bucket lists, relationships, inner values,
dreams and our next contribution. By saying YES
to yourself, you can mine and uncover the more
authentic self that is buried underneath the roles,
identities, belief systems and relationships.
Life by Design” is all about living more consciously
and at choice. Learn four steps to create a better life
by accepting your true identity, living from vision
and intuition, using powerful words and standing
in your own authority. Discover your ability to create a life of joy, abundance and love by using positive words of creation with awareness and power.
Find out how to use the fear that stops you from
truly experiencing life to develop the courage to be
or have or do anything you desire.
Would you like to experience more choice in what’s
“happening” in your life? Do you sometimes feel
overwhelmed at life’s circumstances and wonder
how you can change them? Perhaps, you’ve noticed
that many people watch circumstances control
their lives and respond powerlessly as if life is happening “to” them. There is another way. “Creating
“Creating Life by Design – A Women’s Conference” will be facilitated by Dr. Janette Freeman author of “Why Did This Happen to Me Again?” and
co-author with Dr. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra
and Terry Cole Whittaker of “Wake Up and Live
the Life You Love – In Spirit.” Having attended
the Oneness University in Southern India several
times, she was initiated as an Oneness Facilitator
then Oneness Trainer. She is trained in NeuroLinguistic Programming, an Access Bars Facilitator
and skilled in powerful transformational methodologies. Dr. Janette learned universal and powerful
life-changing lessons on her recent year-long journey thought parts of Central America, SE Asia and
India.
Your life path is determined by the choices you
make; you can take the journey alone or take with
the help of other women. Join us on Saturday,
March 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Sunday,
March 2 from 11:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Unity in
the Valley. Please contact Susan Pace for details at

Expanding Your Horizons
Registration for Expanding Your Horizons, a nationwide conference to encourage young ladies to
explore careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). will begin the first week in
February at the area’s public and private schools.
Although it is designed primarily for sixth, seventh and eighth grade girls and their parents, it
is gender inclusive. The conference will be held
Saturday, March 8 at Sahuarita Middle School
from 8:30 am to 12:30 am. Cost is $5 per student.
Scholarships are available.
After a successful EYH conference in 2013, the
Green Valley branch of the American Association
of University Women is once again co-sponsoring
the event with the able assistance of Women in
Science and Engineering (W.I.S.E.) at the University of Arizona. Through hands-on workshops led by professional
women and U of A interns who are in STEM careers, the students will conduct experiments that
are both fun and informative and will learn the
educational requirements for the careers. On
March 8 some of the fields they will explore are
the science of beauty, hovercrafting, astronomy,
chemistry, meteorology and many more exciting
STEM careers traditionally held by men.
Students and parents will attend a kick off presentation by keynoter Deanna L. Lewis of the U
of A, a graduate associate in the College of Public Health and facilitator for the STEM Institute
2011-12. Her topic is STEM Equity. The students
will then go to two workshops of their choice.
During that time their parents will attend a session on financial aid for college and how to help
their students decide on the right college prep
courses.
After last year’s EYH conference, Superintendant
Valenzuela said, “We are so blessed to have the
support of the community that gives so much to
help enrich the education of our young people
and help them in the process of goal setting and
planning for their own futures.”
