Summer is coming!  It’s Arizona, and the hot sun will be here sooner than most of us would like.  It will soon be time to shed the bulky winter clothes, dust off the bathing suits and start making all attempts to stay cool.  With the summer heat rapidly approaching, now is the perfect time to discuss body contouring.

Food insecurity (lack of access to enough nutritious food to support an active, healthy life) also strikes one in five Yavapai County adults and one in seven seniors. If you are looking for a way to help, consider joining the Yavapai Food Neighbors Project. It’s an effective, highly successful community program that makes it easy to share food with hungry neighbors by providing regular food donations to local food banks, year-round.

Dusty & Dee Spitler have called Yavapai County home for 20 years. Along with helping people hear better, Dusty’s passion is all things animal.  After a near-fatal horse riding accident, Dusty got involved in riding safety and education.  She is a member of The Granite Mountain Riders and Backcountry Horsemen.

A wife, mother and registered nurse at Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC), she still finds time to strum the acoustic guitar and perform with her band, the Gurley Girls. In fact, Jen took up the guitar because the band already had a piano player. Today, she writes songs for the Gurley Girls, using her guitar as she composes.
