On the coverBill Myers, left Chairman of the Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission, and Howard Myers (no relation), Chairman of the Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve Commission, Welcome people to visit the McDowell Mountain Preserve lands during October and take part in activities for McDowell Mountain Month.

I think I just solved the economic crisis. I have been giving a lot of thought to something. Actually a couple of some-things: 1) The so-called demise of newspapers. 2) The so-called demise of the United States Postal Service. I fi gured out a really good way to save both institutions at the same time. Ya know how you forward jokes and stories and videos and stuff to your friends, families and colleagues via e-mail? And re-member when you used to clip stories and comics and photos and other newsworthy items from the newspaper and mail them to your friends, families and colleagues? Why not get a copy of the paper, cut out a fun item you like, write a note and mail it – in an envelope – to somebody you love? Everybody loves getting mail in their mailbox. There must be two or three stories in any given newspaper you want to show somebody. The post offi ce is fi x-ing to close a bunch of offi ces – and if we don’t all do our part to save it, the whole dadgummed service is going to be out of business. Then where will we be? You could also dash out and buy greet-ing cards. That would add money in the tax coffers AND in the card-selling stores’ cash registers. And you know you can buy cards just about anywhere – the car wash, the grocery store, the dress shop, etc., so

you could spend a little bit more money when you’re getting your card to use to mail the newspaper clipping to your dear old mother. Everybody wins! Plus – you get out a little bit. You go to the post offi ce to buy your stamps. Talk to the postal clerk. Let them know how grateful you are to have them in your life. Tell them you understand what a hard job they have and you hope they are never downsized. After you buy the stamps and have chitchatted with the postal clerk, AND all the friendly people who are in line with you, run over to the newspaper offi ce – that is if you aren’t a regular sub-scriber – and buy a paper. Go to the coffee shop (another, ahem, stimulus idea), get some joe or tea and read the paper. Pick out a few stories you like and clip them. Then you need to go to the card shop to buy those greeting cards or stationery so you can send those cute stories you found in the paper. If you were unable to fi nd a cute story in one paper, maybe you could just use this one as an example of a cute story. Then other people would get the idea, and they would send something from their newspaper, and so on and so on and so on (that’s like that old hair color commercial). It may not completely save the econ-omy, but it’s a start. And your dear old mother will be very happy to see you are reading the newspaper. And thinking of her.

*** Speaking of the post offi ce: Did you see the new Centennial stamp Ed Mell designed for the state? It was unveiled at the Best Fest in Prescott in September. The fi rst day issue of the com-memorative stamp by the postal service will be Feb. 14, 2012 – Arizona’s 100th birthday.

It hasn’t been quite 201 years since Ok-toberfest was first celebrated in Munich, Germany, so Fountain Hills is making sure the event is commemorated in a big way here. The annual Oktoberfest at Fountain Park is set for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. The original German event commemorated the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Theresa. The original event in Fountain Hills com-memorates a spirit of community, family and fun. This year is no exception. Fountain Hills Mayor Jay Schlum will make the opening offi cial announcing, “O’zapft is! “ The Fountain Hills festival will be held from 5 to 10 p.m. both days of the event. Admission is free, and food tickets will be sold for $1 each, with food items varying in price. The local celebration emulates the Munich event, complete with long tables papered in Bavarian blue and white. Old-time drinking songs, led by the German band, Die echten Waldbuam and Clucky,

the Oktoberfest chicken mascot, will be featured. Other high-lights of the two-day event inc lude f ree inflatables for c h i l d r e n , a po lka dance contest, “best dressed” Ok-toberfest, beer stein holding, alphorn blow-ing and raffl es. A 5 0 - i n c h Panasonic and a combination gas /charco a l grill will be raf-fled. The first-ever Fountain Hills Dachshund race is set for Saturday at 7 p.m. Spikes Treats is coordinating the

race. F o o d s f e a -tured are brat-wursts served on crusty rolls w i t h h o m e -m a d e s a u -er k r aut and German potato salad, hotdogs and chips for children and apple strudel. Additionally, s a u e r k r a u t chocolate cake and Fountain Hi l l s s a u e r-kraut salsa will be available. Soft drinks will be sold, and the “Queen of

Beers,” Warsteiner is being imported es-pecially for the Fountain Hills event.

The Southwest German Society, AM-VETS Post 7 and the Fountain Hills Elks Lodge #2846 are coordinating the event. Oktoberfest also is supported by the Town of Fountain Hills. All proceeds from Oktoberfest benefi t children’s charities, education and an in-ternational student exchange, including but not limited to Phoenix Children’s Hos-pital, Fountain Hills High School Band and Fountain Hills Sister Cities student exchange program. MidFirst Bank’s Coin Truck will be on hand Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m. Visitors at Oktoberfest can deposit their loose change in the truck, with pro-ceeds going to Fountain Hills High School programs. Event organizers Christine and Jack Colley from Fountain Hills credit the community-wide effort in making the Oktoberfest a success. “It is this kind of community effort and support that makes this event unique in Fountain Hills and fun for everyone,” Christine said.

FOCUSFOCUS(cont. on page 5)

The McDowell Mountains are rich in geologic and cultural historysomething residents of North Scottsdale, Fountain Hills and the Verdes are keenly aware of as their homes hug the lower reaches of the range.These residents recognized at about the same time in the late 1980s and early 1990s that there should be an effort to preserve much of the pristine Sonoran Desert fl ora and fauna that in-habit the McDowells.The vision of Scottsdale residents in the

early 1990s was to set aside nearly one-third of the city as open space. In 1995 the early leaders in the Town of Fountain Hills

established task force to study the options of preserving the higher mountain areas within the town boundaries. The McDowell Park Asso-ciation had earlier established

itself as a voice to prevent development incursion into the McDowell Mountain Regional Park and the group came on

board as a supporter of preservation of the mountains in Scottsdale and Fountain Hills. Roy Kinsey was asked to head the Foun-tain Hills preserve task force, a group with about a dozen members, charged with looking at the McDowell Mountains and how to turn the natural resource into an asset for the community. Kinsey said the group established a perimeter for the Preserve in Fountain Hills primarily based on the elevation line of 2,400 feet above sea level. That

was determined to be where development would have the least impact on views of the mountains. Working with MCO Properties, the master developer for Fountain Hills, the town was able to carve out roughly 1,000 acres in Fountain Hills to be designated at the Preserve. Voters were asked to approve $6 million in general obligation bonds to purchase some preserve land, an initiative that was

The Fountain Hills side of the McDowell Mountains has beautiful areas to explore. October is McDowell Mountain Month on both sides of the range.

LET’S GO! October 2011 5FOCUS(cont. from page 4)overwhelmingly supported by residents at the polls. The town came up with another $7.5 million in revenue bonds and with the $13.5 million along with negotiated land trades established the 980-acre Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve. A portion of that, 200-acres, is owned by the City of Scottsdale in an agreement that will keep the land in Preserve. The Scottsdale vision entailed 57- square-miles of desert land. The city, using similar methods to Fountain Hills, asked voters to approve a sales tax dedicated to land preservation, which was overwhelm-ingly endorsed by citizens. The city also had to work with the devel-oper of DC Ranch to preserve portions and establish access points for the Preserve on the western slopes of the McDowell Mountains. Kinsey became chair of the McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission es-tablished by the Town of Fountain Hills to implement the study of the earlier task force. He has since moved on and now heads the Fountain Hills Sonoran Con-servancy. This group trains volunteer trail stew-ards and has a trained group of volunteer

trail builders. This group of volunteers has carved about six miles of trails, by hand, on the Fountain Hills side of the mountains. These trails now connect with trails in McDowell Mountain Park and there is a plan for a connection to the Sunrise Trail in the Scottsdale Preserve. This creates a network of trails covering hundreds of miles in the Sonoran Desert habitat. These trails are accessed on the Scott-sdale side at the Preserve Gateway facility on Thompson Peak Parkway. The gateway includes an interactive, barrier free nature trail, equestrian staging and a facility to familiarize visitors with the Preserve and the Sonoran Desert. Other major access points are at Lost Dog Wash Trailhead, and there are minor trailheads at WestWorld and McDowell Mountain Ranch. There is a neighborhood trail access to the Sunrise Trail on the east side at 144th Street and Via Linda. Most of the trails in the Scottsdale Pre-serve and McDowell Mountain Park are multi-use that allow equestrian, mountain biking and hikers. Trail access in Fountain Hills includes the Golden Eagle Trailhead at the termi-nation of Golden Eagle Boulevard just outside the gated entry to the Eagles Nest

subdivision. This trail leads users through about a half-mile of private neighborhood to an entrance to McDowell Mountain Park and the Dixie Mine trail. The Sonoran Trail out of the Fountain Hills Preserve intersects with the Dixie Mine trail. On the south side of the Fountain Hills Preserve access is restricted to guided hikes across about a mile of private property owned by MCO Properties. he town, the Sonoran Conservancy and McDowell Mountain Preservation

Commission organize numerous guided hikes into the Preserve during the winter months. The City of Scottsdale and the Town of Fountain Hills also see economic benefi t from land preservation in the McDowells. Those include attracting tourists who enjoy hiking, mountain biking and horse-back riding. The natural setting also helps attract businesses to settle in the community, and it reduces infrastructure costs that need to be supported by the municipalities.

McDowell Mountain Month reason to hike

Get to MM Park for more beauty

Each October for more than a de-cade the McDowell Mountain Preser-vation Commission in Fountain Hills has celebrated McDowell Mountain Month. The City of Scottsdale also celebrates McDowell Mountain Month with a variety of activities. Both communities ramp up activi-ties beginning in October when cooler temperatures beckon people back to the outdoors after a long summer sheltered from the stifl ing heat. This year the series of fall hikes in Fountain Hills begins in early October and runs into December. On Saturday, Oct. 8, McDowell Moun-tain Park Interpretative Ranger Amy Ford will join Mayor Jay Schlum for their sec-ond annual trek with kids on a three-mile hike. Participants will gather at the Golden Eagle Trailhead just outside the Eagles Nest entry gate at 7:45 a.m. for pre-hike preparations and sign in. The hike begins at 8 a.m. This is a fun hike that will go about three miles round trip from the trailhead into the McDowell Mountain Park on the Dixie Mine Trail. This is rated as an easy

to moderate hike. Ranger Amy and Mayor Jay will talk about the area’s history, plants, animals and a bit of geology. Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Those 16 years of age and under will get into the park for free. All others will be asked to pay the $2 fee to enter the park on foot. Wear good shoes, a broad brimmed hat for sun protection and bring along a camera.

Fountain Hills Theater opens “the ultimate game of cat and mouse” when Sleuth gets under way Oct. 28. In a country house owned by a mystery writer, revenge is devised and murder plotted as the show unfolds into an amaz-ing case of “whodunit.” The show plays each Thursday, Friday and Sunday, at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through Nov. 13. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for children 17 and younger. They are available online at www.fhct.org, or at

the box offi ce, (480) 837-9661, ext. 3. Sleuth, by Anthony Shaffer is set in the English manor of mystery writer Andrew Wyke. He is obsessed with inventions and deceptions of fi ction and game playing. He lures his wife’s lover, Milo Tindle, to the house and convinces him to stage a rob-bery of her jewelry. The proposal sets off a chain of events that leaves the audience guessing what is what. Fountain Hills Theater is located at 11445 N. Saguaro Blvd.

Legends in the Attic features two one-act plays produced by Fountain Hills Youth Theater. The program, featuring The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and The Enchanted Attic opens Oct. 7 and runs through Oct. 23. Among the cast are Logan Barrett, left, Katie Male and Ryan Smith.

FHYT Fable Troupe gives stories new twist A new youth group is under way at Fountain Hills Theater. The FHYT Fable Troupe performs “Beyond the Storybook” each month for children three to seven. The Troupe presents interactive shows including fairy tales and fables such as Tortoise and the Hare, The Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The productions feature twists, lots of imagination and fun. “Beyond the Storybook” is performed by kids for kids, with help from the Youth Theater’s Artistic/Technical Director Ross Collins and supervisor/organizer Nick Maddox. The Troupe includes Logan Barrett, Rachel Barrett, Devin Derr, Haylee Klein, Connor Maddox, Katie Male, Patrick Moyse and Ryan Smith. Performances are the third Saturday of each month at 10 a.m. The next event is set for Saturday, Oct. 15, at Fountain Hills Theater, 11445 N.

Scottsdale Desert Stages has two stages busy in October. Actor’s Café’s production of Death of Salesman continues its run through Oct. 23. Oliver! opens Oct. 7 and ends Nov. 5.

They will have four performances. Admission is free (donations accepted).

Carnival coming to FH

FH Coin Club to host collectibles show Oct. 29

The annual Fountain Hills Business Expo is back. After taking last year off, the event, set for Wednesday, Oct. 26, is featuring 54 vendors. Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce Events Coordinator Sharon Morgan said a number of the exhibitors are new this year. “We have some of the old favorites, but there a number of new vendors,” Morgan said. “Visitors will get to learn about all types of Fountain Hills businesses at the Expo.” Exhibitors will be set up in the Grand

Ballroom at the Community Center from 3 to 7 p.m. Morgan said many vendors have gift baskets to be awarded, and nearly all exhibitors feature some type of give-away. Two vendors have gone in together to feature a give-away of an original paint-ing valued at $3,000. “We encourage exhibitors to have door prizes and drawings at their tables,” she said. “The more interactive the booth, the more people will be drawn to visit.” The Chamber also will have prizes, including an iPad 2, iPods and travel vouchers. .

The carnival is coming to town. The Avenue of the Fountains will be the venue for the fountain Hills Hallow-een Carnival Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 27 through Oct. 30. The carnival will feature games, food, rides and fun. A portion of the proceeds from the car-nival will benefi t Fountain Hills Theater. Carnival Superbands and Wristbands are available for discounted prices at the The-

ater through Oct. 26. The theater is located at 11445 N. Saguaro Blvd. call (480) 837-9661 for information. Wristbands also can be purchased at the carnival. Visitors wearing costumes on Saturday and Sunday will receive one free ride. The carnival is open from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Friday, 5 to 10 p.m., Saturday, 2 to 10 p.m. and Sunday, 2 to 7 p.m. There are special discounts for Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

Morgan said the Chamber is looking forward to this year’s Expo. “People will enjoy this year’s show,” she said. “It’s good to be back with the Expo so we can give exposure to local businesses. It’s a nice opportunity for people to get

together and see the types of enterprise there is in Fountain Hills.” The Fountain Hills Community Center is located at 13001 N. LaMontana Blvd. For more information, call the Chamber, (480) 837-1654.

Fountain Hills Coin Club has set Oct. 29 as the date for its next Coin and Col-lectibles Show. The event will feature up to 25 coin

dealers, a collectible postcard dealer and Fountain Hills Automobile Club. All activities will be held at fountain Hills Presbyterian Church, 13001 N. Fountain Hills Blvd. from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The show will have silent auctions, a live auction, coin raffl e, door prizes and free coins and coin albums for children under 18. In addition to those events, the club also will unveil and sell the Fountain Hills Coin Club’s Arizona Centennial medals to celebrate the club’s fi fth anniversary and Arizona’s 100th birthday. The club has ordered 600 medals: 500 are made from Arizona copper and the other 100 are made of silver. The silver medals are numbered 0001-0100. They are paired with the fi rst 100 copper medals with the same numbers and will be sold for $75 per pair. The remain-ing copper medals will be numbered and will sell for $14.95. This is the fi fth coin show hosted by the Fountain Hills club. The first was held in October 2009. Molnar Stamp and Coin, located at 7118 E. Sahuaro Drive in Scottsdale is sponsoring the event. Club President John Gibson said or-ganizers expect more attendees this year than at past shows. “This will be another good show,” Gib-son said. “The attendance has grown with each one, and we expect the fall show to be no exception.” For more information, call Gibson at (480) 231-3896, or e-mail him at [email protected].

I n an unassuming strip mall situated out in Northeast Scottsdale where Via Linda and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard curve and intersect sits a gem of a restaurant. George Yang opened up George & Son’s after the birth of his fi rst and only son. In honor of the special event he named his restaurant accordingly. The restaurant business was familiar to Yang, he grew up in Burma and was exposed to spices, aromas and fl avors of many different cuisines. As a result, George & Son’s is a cross-cultural restaurant. George & Son’s most popular dish is Shrimp with Honey Glazed Walnuts. Other signature dishes include Citrus Chicken, Seafood Pockets and Spicy Crackling Calamari. The menu also offers many noodle dishes, a staple in Asian cooking. Lo Mein, Chow Mein and Pad Thai can be found at George & Son’s. Tofu dishes are also available. Spicier dishes include Kung Pao Three Seas, a combination of wonderful shrimp, scallops and fi llet of fi sh and Dragon & Phoenix, a medley of shrimp and chicken all in a spicy sauce.

Area artists to show works at FH studio The annual Fountain Festival of Arts and Crafts is only a few weeks away. The popular event along the Avenue of the Fountains draws tens of thousands of visitors to Fountain Hills. This year’s event, set for Nov. 11, 12 and 13, is ex-pected to bring those numbers. . Local artist Amy Tuso is holding an ”Open Studio Tour” in conjunction with the larger show. The tour will feature fi ve artists of different media who will be demonstrating their techniques, as well as selling their work. The Open Studio will be held at Tuso’s home studio, 14054 N. Edgeworth Drive. There is no charge to attend the studio show. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The participating artists include Tuso, who will have her paintings on display and for sale; Karen Budan, pastel artist; sculp-tor Tracey Saliba; jeweler Helen Walker;

and gourd artist Jan Kaplan. Open Studio Tours also are scheduled in Fountain Hills Feb. 24, 25 and 26, 2012, and March 23, 24 and 25. Tuso was inspired to do the open studio tours after visiting studios in Cave Creek and the Hidden in the Hills studio tours. “It is another way for people to get to see art and artists,” she said. “I think the Open Studio Tour in Fountain Hills will provide a similar experience to visitors.” Tuso said she believes art has healing properties for both the artist and the viewer. She works in oils and acrylics, using vibrant colors and different techniques in her works. Her works have been published in American Art Collector, Southwest Art and Phoenix Home & Garden. She has paintings in homes and businesses throughout the United States. Visit www.amytuso.com for information and art-work.

Standup Scottsdale

Location, Contact Information, Parking: Standup Scottsdale (not to be con-fused with Standup Live in Phoenix) is now located at 6820 E. Fifth Avenue, Scottsdale 85251, having moved from the Clarion Inn on Scottsdale Road. Res-

ervations can be made at (480) 882-0730 or www.standupscottsdale.com. Parking is free, but scattered and you may have to walk a couple of blocks because there is no nearby parking structure. This is a much better location for foot traffi c as it is within walking distance to many of the Scottsdale bars.

Show Times and Tickets: There are several shows and the pric-ing varies. There is an open mic show on Wednesdays at 8 p.m., which is free. The last Friday of the month, they do a showcase show featuring a variety of local talent capped off by the weekend headliner. Show times for the showcase are 7 and 9 p.m., and the tickets are $10. The regular shows are on Friday and Saturday at 7 and 9 p.m., and the tickets are $15, although you may be able to get discount coupons from places like Groupon which would reduce that cost. There is a two item minimum in addi-tion to the ticket price.

Beverage and Food Service: The menu includes a number of appetizers and some hamburger type dishes although it is not extremely long. I think it would be good if you just want

a snack, but if you are looking for a full dinner, I would eat before or after the show. The wait staff was plentiful and very quick.

The Venue: The outside of the building is kind of old and funky having previously housed several versions of your typical Scotts-dale night club. But, the showroom was actually very comfortable. The capac-ity of the room is 225 and you do not feel packed in like sardines. The room is basically square with the stage set diagonally in one of the corners of the room. Lighting and sound was good and there were no obstructions to viewing the stage.

The Comedians: This show is booked by local come-dian Howard Hughes who hosts most of the shows himself. He is bringing in traveling headliners from out of state who usually have some pretty good com-edy chops. I believe the regular shows include two or three local comics and the headliner. It just happened I was there on the Friday night showcase night. The show didn’t start until about 7:20 and ran about 10 minutes over. The

showcase featured approximately eight local comics, many of whom had only open mic experience, meaning they had not been in front of many audiences or audiences the size of the Friday night crowd. It was somewhat like watching a comedy class graduation show. There was potential in several of them, but they had not yet really hit their comedy stride. At the end of this, the regular out-of-state headliner got up and did about 10 to 15 minutes. He was very good, but it was hard following so many comics who had failed to warm up the room for him. You pretty much expect mediocre tal-ent at the open mic nights, which is why they let you in for free. I think that next time I will try to go on a non-showcase night because the level of talent was just not there. But, I don’t think that is indicative of what you might get in the regular shows.

Rating:cc - If you are looking for a casual

night on the town and a show that starts a little earlier than the rest, I think this is a good effort that will probably improve with time.

MY PICKS While September played host to a few bone-chillers at the box offi ce, it looks like most of Hollywood has forgotten that Halloween comes in October. With Paranormal Activity 3 and The Thingserving as the only spooky fl icks this haunted season, your options for a good scare will be extremely limited. If jumping out of your seat in terror isn’t exactly your bag of treats, there is certainly a wide variety of fl icks to keep most folks interested instead.

Real Steel and The Three Musketeersshould be great for adults and kids alike while Footloose (the third remake this month alone) will do its best to encourage audiences to cut a rug. But it’s Halloween, dagnabbit, and so I have to stick with the season and encourage everyone to take in a good scary fl ick. With The Thing being a remake and Paranormal Activity now in its third iteration, however, there’s no telling if either of your options will actually be all that “good.” Then again, isn’t that kind of the point of trick or treating? You never know what you’re going to get. Here’s fi ngers crossed on a couple horrifi c treats.

Fred Astaire Dance Studio

The romance of dance has great benefi ts There is a reason all the great movie romances – My Fair Lady, Rodgers’ and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, The King and I -- feature dancing. Dancing in itself is romance. And as in all great musicals, dance can enhance the romance. The Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Scottsdale features a full array of dance lessons and programs designed to help all levels and all ages of dancers feel comfortable on the dance fl oor. National Training Director and one of eight owners of Fred Astaire Franchised Studios, Antoinette Benevento said her business provides a number of options to people interested in learning different dances as well as providing continued training to those who have mastered the art of dancing. “The crux of our business is social dancing,” Benevento said. “But we also have clients who compete. Some clients come in not knowing anything about dancing and become excellent dancers in a short time.” The social aspect of dancing is usually what draws people to Fred Astaire, but there are benefi ts

discovered after only a few lessons. “The exercise and health benefi ts are great,” Benevento said. “There also are spiritual and mental benefi ts from dancing.” Benevento said the studio has worked with Alzheimer’s patients. Dance helps with memory. She said dance raises endorphin levels, helping keep stress and depression under control. Balance and coordination are enhanced with dance. “The list goes on,” she said. Classes at Fred Astaire are “very cost effective,” Benevento said. “We offer an introductory program special for $40,” she said. “You get four lessons and learn a variety of dances. That way you can choose what you like best.” The lessons are offered in units, with one private lesson, one class lesson and one practice party included in each unit. “People don’t have to take months and months of lessons,” Benevento said. “You can take 12 to 15 units and come away a very good dancer.” Fred Astaire Studios offers all social

dancing, including salsa, swing, two-step, foxtrot, classic waltz, the cha-cha, tango and other Latin dances. There is some hip hop available, but most of the lessons are for a partner-type dance. All ages can participate, and packages are available for weddings, wedding parties, families and individuals. The studio is located at 10135 E. Via

Linda, Suite C116. Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and later if special events are being held. Weekend hours are by appointment. Ask for Ms. Ellen Simon, the executive assistant, or Ms. Mandi Lopez, the manager, when calling. For calendar of events and more information, call (480) 473-0388. The Website is www.scottsdalefredastaire.com.

Raymond Cancel, left, Mandi Lopez and Michael DeFelice are instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Scottsdale. Mandi also is manager of the facility.
