>>> COMING UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON.

THE IMPACT OF THE INCOMING TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ON PERSONAL FINANCES.

>>> WE'LL HEAR ABOUT A NEW PROGRAM TO HELP WITH BRAIN HEALTH.

A NEW EXHIBIT WITH THE GOLDEN AGE OF VIOLINS AND GUITARS.

THOSE STORIES AND MORE COMING UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HOAR HORIZON.

>> WE ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.

>>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME.

I'M TED SIMONS.

WE START WITH A FEW HEADLINES.

A 17-YEAR-OLD FEMALE STUDENT SHOT AND KILLED A TEACHER AND STUDENT THIS MORNING AT A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN MADISON, WISCONSIN.

SIX OTHERS WERE INJURED.

THE SHOOTER WAS FOUND FATALLY WOUNDED.

THE CHIEF HAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SHOOTING.

>> MANY OF YOU HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE WHY OF THIS WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?

WHAT WAS THE MOTIVATION.

OUR DETECTIVES ARE WORKING HARD IN THE INVESTIGATION PROCESS TO FIND OUT AS MUCH AS WE CAN SO WE CAN FARTHER PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING NOT JUST IN THIS COMMUNITY BUT OTHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY.

>> THERE HAD BEEN NO PRIOR INCIDENTS OF CONCERN AND THE SCHOOL HAD A POLICE OFFICER POSTED ON-SITE.

DICK VAN ARSDALE HAS DIED.

HE WAS A THREE TIME ALL-STAR HE WAS THE FIRST DRAFT PICK IN 1968 KNOWN AS THE ORIGINAL SUN.

ON ABC PBS.

HE DIED AT 81.

>>> TAXES AND INTEREST RATES AND EMPLOY BEEN BENEFITS CAN IMPACT FINANCES WITH A NEW ADMINISTRATION IN WASHINGTON SOME OF THE PUBLIC POLICIES AND CHANGES CHASE OF EVEREST CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT TO WATCH FOR.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

>> NICE TO BE HERE.

>>> NEW ADMINISTRATION NEW ECONOMIC IDEAS.

REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT IT'S NEW AND DIFFERENT.

WHAT WILL WE SEE.

>> THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING.

WE NEED TO SEE WHAT THE PRESIDENT-ELECT AND HIS TEAM PUT FORWARD WITH SPECIFIC POLICIES WITH TARIFFS AND TAXATION.

WE WILL WAIT AND SEE FOR A WHILE.

WE GET THE SPECIFICS OF THE POLICIES.

>> HOW MUCH DISPOSABLE INCOME IS THE BOTTOM LINE.

>> CORRECT, THERE IS A LOT OF DISCUSSION SURROUNDING TARIFFS ON IMPORTED GOODS.

THE DISCUSSION RELATING TO TAXATION ON OUR INCOME AND A LOT OF THAT WILL BE IN THE NEWS AND COMING MONTHS AND WEEKS AND MONTHS AHEAD.

WE NEED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS SO PEOPLE CAN HAVE HIGH DISPOSABLE INCOME BUT THEY HAVE THEIR POLICY IN PLACE.

>>> THEY IMPACT RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS.

>> IF THERE IS A HIGHER TAX RATE AND PEOPLE ARE TAXED MORE FROM AN INCOME AND CAPITAL GAINS STANDPOINT OR HIGH TARIFFS PUT-ON GOODS AND SERVICES COME TO THE UNITED STATES.

THAT WILL LEAVE LESS INCOME AND DISPOSABLE INCOME.

LESS SAVABLE INCOME FROM CONSUMERS.

WE HAVE AN IMPACT ON INVESTORS.

>> THE ECONOMY AS A WHOLE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

YOU ARE OUT SPENDING AND HAVE A ROLLING EFFECT ON BUSINESS.

>> WITH INFLATION IN TERMS OF PERSONAL FINANCE WHEN INFLATION WAS HIGH AND DOES IT CHANGE IF IT STARTS.

>> IF YOU WERE TO SEEN IT IN A YEAR AND HALF INTEREST RATES THAT WOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN HIGH PEOPLE HAD INFLATION AND CAUSED THEM NOT TO IS A AS MUCH BECAUSE THEY PAY MORE FOR GROCERIES, GASOLINE, AND OTHER CONSUMABLES THEY MIGHT HAVE.

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR INVESTORS TO SAY WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THEIR CORPORATE BUSINESS RETIREMENT PLAN OR INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS AND SO FORTH.

>> WHAT ABOUT THINGS THAT COULD OUTPACE INFLATION.

STOCK MARKET AND REAL ESTATE.

>> THEY SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM AND THEIR GOALS FOR INVESTMENTS.

INVESTING IN THE STOCK MARKET CARRIES RISK.

INVESTORS NEED TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH THE RISK THEY ARE TAKING.

THAT'S HOW YOU OUTPACE INFLATION.

YOU INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET IN THE LONG ONE.

>> WHERE DO INTEREST RATES PLAY IN THIS.

>> THEY ARE ON A HOME MORTGAGE.

RATES WHEN SOMEONE BUYS A CAR.

YOU HAVE SAVINGS INTEREST RATES WHEN PEOPLE GIVE MONEY TO THE BANK TO ALLOW THEM TO USE THE FUNDS AND THEY INTERNAL GET INTEREST PAYMENTS ON THEIR SAVINGS.

SO INTEREST RATES ARE KEY.

>> I'D SAY SAVINGS ACCOUNTS AND BONDS.

ALWAYS A WISE THING TO LOOK AT?

>> AGAIN IT'S A KEY AND TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX FOR FOLKS.

THE IMPORT TAN THING HOW DO THOSE TYPES OF ACCOUNTS FIT INTO SOMEONES OVERALL PLAN.

REALLY TO FOCUS ON WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AT THAT TIME.

>> IS THAT DIFFICULT TO DO AT THIS TIME.

CONSIDERING GOING FROM ONE IDEOLOGY TO ANOTHER.

>> IT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND CHALLENGING.

THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING THEIR NEEDS AND WANTS TO PROVIDE THEM WITH RECOMMENDATIONS MOVING FORWARD.

>> RIGHT, BEING FLEXIBLE.

ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE.

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IS THE TARGET OF PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP.

I ASSUME THAT'S NOT A FAVORITE OF HIS.

ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND PERSONAL FINANCES, FOR SOME THAT'S HUGE.

>> IT'S A HUGE PART OF AN INVESTOR OR RETIREMENT BUDGET.

IT HAS TO BE FACTORED IN WHEN FOLKS CONSIDER RETIRING, RETIRING EARLY THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE COST OF HEALTHCARE.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S BEEN GOING UP OVER THE YEARS AND PLANNING FOR IT.

THAT WILL CONTINUE IN THE WEEKS AND MONTHS TO COME.

>> IS IT MORE VOLATILE?

>> IT'S PRETTY VOLATILE.

IT'S THE MARKET.

ANYTHING FOCUSED AROUND INVESTING THE MARKET, INTEREST RATES ARE STILL VOLATILE.

THAT'S JUST BEEN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

>> UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, WE WANT THAT IN THERE TOO.

THESE ARE HUGE.

ESPECIALLY AS A BRIDGE.

IF THEY ARE TINKERED WITH OR NEED A LEG AHEAD.

THEY NEED SOMETHING TO HELP THEM MOVE FORWARD UNTIL THEY GET THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY.

THOSE DOLLARS PEOPLE RECEIVE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ARE REINVESTED IN THE ECONOMY AND POUR CHIASED A LOCAL STORES, SHOPS AND MALLS HAVING THE DOMINO EFFECT ON SPENDING INTO DIFFERENT CONSUMER SECTORS.

>> LAST QUESTION, DOES THIS FEEL IN ANY WAY IN TERMS OF PERSONAL FINANCES IN THE ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE ANYTHING LIKE 2016 WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS ELECTED?

>> WE HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT TO EXPECT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PRESIDENT'S SECOND TERM.

IT WAS AN UNKNOWN BACK IN 2016.

I THINK WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT HIS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WILL BE AND WHAT TO EXPECT FROM HIM MOVING FORWARD.

LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WHAT WE NEED TO SEE ARE THE SPECIFICS PROPOSED THIS TIME BEFORE WE UNDERSTAND THE FULL IMPACT ON INVESTORS AND CONSUMERS.

>> GOOD DISCUSSION AND GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WE HAVE MUCH TO BE GRATEFUL FOR.

>> THIS IS WHAT I WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS.

>> THE OPPORTUNITY TO DAZZLE.

>> DAZZLE.

>> GOOD NEWS INDEED.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪♪ >> HI, I'M KATHERINE.

THE GROUNDBREAKING PROGRAM SEVERED AT THE PLATFORM FOR THE LATINO COMMUNITY.

>> JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

THERE IS A LOT OF DIVERSITY AND THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS.

>> WE NEED PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF MULTILINGUAL STUDENTS.

WE LIKE TO HEAR THE VOICES HEARD.

>> WE HAVE MORE ON THE PBS APP.

>>> MAYO CLINIC IS OFFERING A NEW PROGRAM TO HELP THOSE LEARN SKILLS TO HELP MAINTAIN INDEPENDENCE.

WE'LL FIND OUT MORE FROM A GERTRITION.

>> THIS IS CALLED HABIT.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.

>> IT'S AN ACRONYM AND UNIQUE PROGRAM WE HAD FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND EVIDENCE BASED TO HELP THOSE EXPERIENCING COGNITIVE CHANGES.

EARLY PHRASES IT MIGHT BE NORMAL AGING OR SOMETHING WORST.

IT'S AN EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAM THAT EMPHASIS A HOL HOLISTIC APPROACH.

>> HOW DOES IT WORK?

>> IT'S A COURSE YOU ATTEND.

IT'S A 50 HOUR COURSE OVER 10 DAYS.

INCLUDING THINGS LIKE WELLNESS EDUCATION, EVERYTHING GOOD FOR YOUR BODY AND HEART, FOR EXAMPLE GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN TOO LIKE HEALTHY EATING.

YO ARE YOGA, CHAIR BASED YOGA.

EVIDENCE BASED COGNITIVE TRAINING EXERCISES, STRAIGHTENING EXER SIDES -- EXERCISES.

HOW TO MANAGE WHEN YOU FORGET THINGS AND CATALOG NATIVE TRAINING EXERCISES.

GROUP SUPPORT.

YOU ATTEND THE CLASS WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

ALONG WITH THAT, YOU DON'T DO IT BY YOURSELF.

YOU TAKE A SPOUSE OR LOVED ONE OR FRIEND ETC.

>> THAT'S IMPORTANT HAVING A PARTNER THERE.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO LEARN THAT AS WELL.

>> I HAD MANY COUPLES THAT DID THE COURSE TOGETHER.

THEY BOTH LOVED IT AND FOUND IT TO BE USE OF THE TO REENFORCE.

IN-- REENFORCED.

WE KNOW WE DO BETTER EXERCISING TO GET.

>> MEMORY COMPENSATION TRAINING DOES THAT MEAN LEAVING YOUR KEYS IN THE SAME SPOT ALL OF THE TIME?

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

>> I HAVE PATIENTS THAT START WORRYING THEY HAVE THOSE MOMENTS WHERE THEY FORGOT WHERE THEIR KEYS ARE AT OR THE NAME OF SOMEONE THEY ALWAYS NO.

THAT MAKES THEM WORRY.

I'LL HAVE DEMENTIA.

SO, WE TEACH PEOPLE WHAT'S NORMAL AGING.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH NORMAL AGING WITH THE BRAIN AND HOW TO GET AROUND IT.

WE ARE ALWAYS NOT GOOD AT MULTITASKING.

THAT GETS WORST AS WE GET OLDER SO, LEARNING TO FOCUS ON ONE TASK AT A TIME WITH MEMORY COMPENSATION TRAINING.

WE HAVE PLANNERS OR LISTS.

THE PROGRAM PROVIDES RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE TO USE AND MAKE SURE THE LITTLE THINGS CAN BE WORKED AROUND THEY FUNCTION INDEPENDENCE.

>> BRAIN FITNESS IS WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT EARLIER JUST PROGRAMS AND TESTS.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

THEY THINK THEY ARE REALLY GOOD.

>> MAYBE DOING A CROSS WORD IS NOT AS GOOD AS LEARNING SOMETHING NEW.

GETTING YOUR BRAIN TO WORK AROUND MORE DID I HAVE DIFFICULT PROBLEMS OR WHERE IT EXER SIDES EXERCISES YOUR BRAIN IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

IT COVERS THOSE MOST EVIDENCE BASED TO LEARN TO DO THEM AND THEY ARE MORE ENJOYABLE.

MORE THAN 80 PLUS% OF PEOPLE HAVE DONE SOME ASPECT OF THE PROGRAM YEARS LATER.

>> INSTEAD OF CHESS LEARN TO PLAY A MUSIC INSTRUMENT.

LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE.

WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS.

INSTIGATES CERTAIN THINGS.

>> YOU KNOW, YOU USED TO SAY YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS, THAT'S FALSE.

WE ARE VERY GENERATIVE INTO OUR 90s AND 100s.

THAT LEARNING OF NEW THINGS AND SPROUTING NEW CONNECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT INCLUDING SOCIALLY.

IT'S FOR A LOT OF OUR HEALTH IT CAN BE WONDERFUL FOR PEOPLE.

>> IT CAN HELP WITH RESILIENCE AND PART OF MAINTAINING A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT LIFE.

>> LOOK AT ONE DOOR THAT'S SHUT AND TEN MORE OPEN.

YOU LEARN TO DO THOSE THINGS OR FOCUS ON THOSE THINGS AND MAYBE PAYING MY BILLS IS NOT A GREAT THING SPEAKING OF AUTO PAY, IS THIS COVERED BY INSURANCE.

>> COMPONENTS ARE.

SOME ARE NOT BY SOME INSURANCES.

IT'S A REASONABLE COST MOST HAVE FOUND IT TO BE VALUABLE.

MEDICARE COVER PORTIONS OF THE TRAINING AND OTHER THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

MAYBE NOT OTHER PORTIONS.

IT'S QUITE REASONABLE AND AFFORDABLE.

THEY CAN GO TO THE MAYO CLINIC WEBSITE.

>> IT'S THE 10 DAY PROGRAM.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR.

THE LATEST THAT KILLED AND WOUNDED MULTIPLE PEOPLE TONIGHT AT 6:00 ON ARIZONA PBS.

>>> A NEW EXHIBIT FEATURE THE GOLDEN AGE OF GUITARS.

IT'S ON DISPLAY THIS IS FROM MASTER CRAFTERS INCLUDING ANTONIO.

FOR MORE, WE WELCOME THE CURATOR FROM EUROPE MATT.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> THIS IS BASICALLY, IT'S CALLED THE GOLDEN AGE.

>> WHEN WE THINK OF THE GOLDEN AGE OF INSTRUMENT MAKING.

THEY ARE GORGEOUS AND THE BEST OF THE BEST AND STILL USED TODAY BECAUSE THE SOUND IS GREAT.

>> THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THE SOUND.

>> THERE REALLY IS.

LISTEN TO THE PLAYERS THAT PLAY THEM.

>> THE MUSEUM NOW, HOW DO YOU ACQUIRE THESE THINGS.

ARE THEY OWN LOAN OR FROM COLLECTIONS.

>> IT'S A MIX IT'S PART OF THE PERMANENT COLLECTION OR INDIVIDUALS.

>> I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE.

THIS IS FROM THE 15 60s.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE.

>> A VIOLIN BY ANDREA.

IT WAS MADE IN ITALY IN THE 15 60s.

>> ANY DIFFERENCE FROM THIS ONE AND SUCCEEDING OTHERS.

>> IT'S A FEW MILLIMETERS SMALLER BUT NO, THIS VIOLIN IS A VIOLIN WE'D KNOW AND PLAY TODAY AND COME TO THE MUSEUM AND SEE THEM.

>> THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED MUCH.

>> THEY HAVEN'T.

>> IT'S A STRING INSTRUMENT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A TRUMPET.

>> THIS IS THE TRUMPET MARINE.

IT'S REALLY FUNKY LOOKING.

THIS IS LONG AN SKINNY AND 5 FEET LONG.

IT HAS ONE THING AND PLAYS A TRICK ON YOUR BRAIN AND MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE LISTENING TO A GLASS INSTRUMENT.

>> WHY DIDN'T THIS CATCH ON.

>> THEY WERE GOOD FOR A FEW HUNDRED YEARS.

THROUGH THE LATE 14 HUNDREDS TO 1700.

>> THEY DIED DOWN AS MUSIC CHANGED AND FORUM DEVELOPS AND POPULARITY OF THE GUITAR AND THINGS MOVED ON.

>> IF I WANT A TROMBONE I'LL GET ONE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> WE HAVE A MANDOLIN.

IT WAS MADE BY ANTONIO.

>> OH, WOW.

WE THINK ABOUT HIM AND THE VIOLIN FAMILY.

HE WAS THE GREATEST VIOLIN MAKER OF ALL-TIME.

HE MADE THREE GUITARS, ONE HARP AND TWO MANDOLINS THIS IS ONE.

>> THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CASES.

>> YES, IT HAS A FLORAL PAPER ON THE INSIDE.

THE METAL WORK AND STUDS IT OPENS LIKE A CROCODILE.

>> WILL SOMEONE PLAY THIS?

>> WE ARE NOT PLAYING THIS ONE.

SOME YOU CHOSE NOT TO PLAY.

WHEN DID THERE ARE ONLY TWO IN THE WORLD WE DON'T PLAY THIS ONE.

>> THIS STUFF, IT'S JUST PROVIDING A SENSE OF AWE AND WONDER.

>> THAT'S A MANDOLIN.

WE HAVE A GUITAR FROM THE 1650s.

LOOK AT THIS THING.

>> THAT'S A GUITAR BETTENTE.

THIS HAS METAL STRINGS.

YOU THINK ABLE SOMEONE ACCOMPANYING THEMSELVES WITH A GUITAR.

THIS IS WHAT WAS MADE FOR JUST THAT.

IT WAS MADE FOR STRUMMING.

>> LOOK AT THE INLAY.

I'D BE AFRAID TO TOUCH THAT.

>> THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

THE BACK IS MADE OF IVY AND EBONY.

IT'S INLAID WITH MOTHER PEARL.

IT'S THREE DIMENSIONAL.

THIS IS MADE OF PAIRWOOD AND CARVED AND STACKED UP, IT'S INCREDIBLE.

>> WE HAVE ANOTHER GUITAR.

MAYBE THE SAME TIME PERIOD.

THEY SPENT MORE TIME BUILDING THESE.

>> THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE ONE.

THIS IS FROM 1684.

NOT LONG AFTER THAT LAST ONE.

THIS IS FROM HAMBURG.

THIS IS NORTHERN EUROPE INSTEAD OF SOUTHERN.

IT'S A SMALL GUITAR AND WASN'T MADE FOR A CHILD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT A SMALL INSTRUMENT.

THIS IS SIPPLED LAR TO THE MODERN PARLOR.

>> THE WHOLE THING IS THIS BIG.

THE SIZE OF MY TORSO.

>> SOUNDS LIKE A GUITAR BUT QUIETER.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY, IT'S HARD TO GET GROWL OUT OF THOSE.

>> YES.

>> FINALLY ANOTHER GUITAR FROM AROUND THE SAME TIME PERIOD.

IT'S GORGEOUS LIKE THEY ARE ALL.

THIS IS FROM 1652.

IT WAS MADE IN PARIS, FRANCE.

THIS GUITAR SET THE STAGE FROM WHAT THE FRENCH GUITAR WOULD BE FOR THE NEXT 150 YEARS OR SO YOU ACQUIRED ANOTHER GUITAR FROM 1762 AND ON THE SAME MODEL.

IT WASN'T THAT MUCH ADVANCEMENT DURING THE PERIOD.

THIS WAS IT.

>> I'M LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM WHERE THE STRING IS ATTACHED AND VERY SIMILAR TO CLASSICAL GUITARS.

>> WE LAD A TRY ON BRIDGE AND GUITAR WE LOOKED AT A MOMENT AGO.

IT HAD PINS AS WELL BUT IT GOES DOWN.

>> HOW MANY STRINGS ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

>> NORMALLY BROKE GUITARS HAVE TEN STRINGS AND FIVE COURSES.

THIS ONE HAS NINE STRINGS ON IT BECAUSE THEY WOULD REMOVE A STRING.

UPPERMOST STRING AND HAVE THAT STRING OR SINGING STRING.

>> I NOTICED THERE ARE NO LOOTS HERE.

>> WE HAVE LOOTS.

WE HAVE ONE FROM 1540 AND IT'S INCREDIBLE.

ONE THING I LOVE POINTING OUT ABOUT THAT.

THIS IS FROM 1540.

YOU WILL HEAR A TUNE WRITTEN FROM 1536.

PEOPLE WILL RECOGNIZE IT.

USED IN THE BAD LANDS IN TRUE ROMANCE.

>> BEFORE WE GO, VERY QUICKLY, HOW MUCH FUN TO CURATE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

>> IT'S A JOY THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE VIOLIN UP-CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

YOU GIVE IT TO PEOPLE AND IT HE SAYS A WONDERFUL THING.

>> ALL RIGHT.

YOU HAVE A LOT OF GREAT INSTRUMENTS AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH US.

THAT'S IT FOR NOW.
