Get Ready for Thanksgiving with Pecan Pie Brown Ale from Arizona Wilderness Brewing
Arizona Wilderness Brewing releases its seasonal "Pecan Pie Brown Ale" today, known as "Thanksgiving dessert in a glass."
The beer includes local pecans, milk sugar, vanilla beans, maple syrup, and actual pecan pies in the brewing process. They're also offering a Barrel-Aged version that aged in bourbon barrels.
Find them in cans and on tap in Gilbert and downtown Phoenix, but be quick, they sell fast.
Gilbert Loop 202 Rollover Crash: Terrifying Accident Sends Passenger to Hospital
A dramatic rollover crash occurred on Gilbert's Loop 202, resulting in one person being hospitalized. The accident transpired just prior to 11:30 a.m. on the Loop 202 San Tan freeway near Lindsey Road.
Eyewitness videos depict a dark sedan, which had overturned after colliding with a center barrier. Emergency responders had to extricate the passenger from the wreckage, subsequently transporting them to a nearby hospital with severe injuries.
Information about the driver involved has not been disclosed.
Officer Dani Covey's Inspiring Journey: Confronting Breast Cancer and Embracing Early Detection
Officer Dani Covey from the Gilbert Police Department opens up about her journey with breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. After discovering she carried the BCRA1 gene, which increases the risk of breast cancer, she underwent a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy.
Now, she encourages others to get tested for early detection. The focus on early detection has contributed to a more than 40% decrease in breast cancer deaths since 1989, according to the American Cancer Society.
Covey's story emphasizes the importance of being proactive about one's health. She continues to monitor her health due to her increased risk of ovarian cancer as a BCRA1 gene carrier.
Covey and her police team are participating in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk and hosting an online fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

Creative Environments: Where Dreams Blossom into Stunning Landscapes in Phoenix Valley
Nestled at the heart of the Phoenix Valley, Creative Environments stands as the unrivaled #1 Phoenix Landscaping and Build Company, a beacon of excellence in the world of outdoor design. For decades, this multi-awarded design-build firm has been transforming Arizona's residential and commercial landscapes into stunning works of art.
A Legacy of Distinction
The saga of Creative Environments began in 1950, with Chuck Hammond Sr. and his wife Shirley founding Hammond Landscaping. Armed with little more than a pickup truck and a dream, Hammond went door to door, crafting landscapes that turned clients' visions into reality. His dedication and knack for quality soon caught the eye of Del Webb, who recognized the company's potential.
In the 1960s, Chuck Hammond's dedication bore fruit when Del Webb's team decided to collaborate directly with Hammond Landscaping. Fast forward to 1993, and two of Hammond's trusted employees, Chuck Hammond Jr. and Dan Waters, acquired the company, giving birth to Creative Environments.
Today, more than half a century later, Creative Environments boasts a team of over 200 experts, including 20+ professionally trained landscape designers, ready to transform your outdoor living space.
