It’s Getting Hot in Here! Local meteorologist Shelley Sakala offers up her tips for Arizona summer survival. I’M BORRRRRRRRED. For anyone who has kids (or used to be one), you know that old familiar refrain that goes hand in hand with summer vacation. Everything on the DVR has been watched, your San Diego trip is still two months away, and your skills as entertainment director for your household are being put to the test. To make matters worse, you happen to live in Phoenix, where summer activities are limited to indoors with air conditioning or outdoors with water. But while it’s warm now, the really bad weather won’t be here for another month, which gives you plenty of advance time to plan the sanest summer ever. Veteran Zonies know the drill: Once it reaches 100

degrees, you head for California. But if the West Coast isn’t in your budget or if you’re new to life in the Valley of the Sun, allow me to give you a native’s point of view for Arizona Summer Survival.
GO HOLLYWOOD If you live in 85085, you’re probably less than 10 minutes away from the movies. Take advantage. Kicking back in big, comfy seats with a cold drink as you enjoy two hours of air-conditioned bliss—what could be better? Plus, the summer blockbusters are coming, which means you get to spend the next three months watching things blow up onscreen. ’Murica! If
you’ve got young ones, check out local favorite Harkins Theatres’ Summer Movie Fun. Seven bucks gets you 10 classic kids movies from the past year.
GO NORTH You don’t have to leave the state to beat the heat. Less than 90 minutes to the north is Prescott. This city of 40,000 people has lots to do and perfect temperatures for doing it. The average high temp in July is a delightful 89 degrees, cooling off to 57 at night. Say goodbye to searing seat belt buckles and hello to summer fun!
GO SOUTH If you’re looking to go international but don’t feel like dealing with air travel, consider a half-day drive to Puerto Penasco, Mexico, otherwise known as Rocky Point. Beachfront hotels and resorts, RV parking and campsites, and vacation rentals give you plenty of options for a weekend stay or a weeklong visit. You won’t find much relief from the summer sun, but at least you can cool off in the Sea of Cortez.

Entrepreneurship Five things you need to know about being an entrepreneur. By Adam Toren
ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS in the global zeitgeist. It’s a fulfilling lifestyle that requires hard work, but it can be very rewarding. The freedom of being your own boss is quite enticing, but entrepreneurship is not for everyone. The reality is that you have all the freedom but also all the accountability when you become your own boss. You have to be the one to take charge of the business, make the tough decisions, and work just as hard as “the boss” has to work to make your business successful. If you’re wondering if entrepreneurship is right for you, here are five key things to consider:
1. Are you comfortable with change? In the dynamic lifestyle of entrepreneurship, no two days will ever be the same. As the owner of your own business, you will be handling a variety of diverse tasks. You will be in charge of everything from sales and marketing to handling financial issues.
20 || 85085MAGAZINE.com || MAY 2015
Because there’s such an array of responsibilities, quick thinking and problem-solving skills can be very beneficial, but that also requires you to be flexible. There will be times of ambiguity, times of waiting, and times of struggle, and you’ll have to be comfortable with staying fluid, flexible, and really embracing change. Your business will rely on it.
2. Are you self-driven? To be a successful entrepreneur, you must be extremely self-motivated. As your own boss, there is no one to discipline you except for yourself. You will have to set your own deadlines and meet those deadlines. In the beginning, you will be the head of all of the departments within your business. Once you build your team, you’ll need to effectively manage them and set a respectable example. Not only will you need to be

Lori Burt and Emmie
My mother passed away 10 months after giving me this wonderful gift, and it was the best thing and lesson that my mother had ever done for me. Q: Does she have any unique personality traits? A: I swear that I can see her smile when she is happy! She also puts herself into “pick-me-up position” when she wants to be up in my arms. She backs up to me and stands there until I pick her up. I’ve also taken Emmie into nursing homes, and she is such a wonderful [noncertified] therapy dog. She gets reactions from patients that look as though they can hardly move, but we get a smile! I think that Emmie can tell that she is providing support and gravitates to those patients. Q: Do you have any other pets? How do they respond to Emmie? A: I now have two other dogs that live with me. One dog was a rescue, and he is a maltipoo who was in very bad condition. He
30 || 85085MAGAZINE.com || MAY 2015
is doing great now! The other dog is my friend’s dog, and she is a foxeranian (toy fox terrier and Pomeranian mix). Emmie is the king of the pack, for sure! The maltipoo rescue dog is quite young and plays hard, where Emmie won’t have anything to do with it! Q: How does Emmie respond to family members? A: Emmie is very protective of being close to me. When another family member goes to take her out for a potty break while she is on my lap, she gets upset when she is taken away from me. Others have to ask her to go outside, and then she will stand up and wait to be picked up. We are very close with each other and are the best of buds. She is a wonderful gift in my life.
Prior to age 12, 80 percent of time should be spent in deliberate play and in sports other than the chosen sport! Age 13–15: There’s a 50-50 split between a chosen sport and other athletic pursuits. Age 16+: Even when specialization becomes very important, 20 percent of training time should still be in the non-specialized sport and deliberate play. Source: Is it Wise to Specialize? – changingthegameproject.com cializing in one sport has are burnout and injuries. Nowhere is this more evident than with major league and lower-level baseball pitchers requiring Tommy John surgery, which involves replacing a badly injured elbow ligament with a tendon from elsewhere in the body, to repair blown-out elbows. This has prompted many debates on year-round single-sport activity. I could go on and give you all the pros and cons of specializing in one sport versus playing multiples sports, but I would prefer to encourage you to research this topic and come to your own conclusions. I may, however, sway you toward an idea expressed in an article on the Changing the Game Project website called “Is It Wise to Specialize?” The article states that the best sport psychology, research into athletic development and physiology, and sportsmedicine physicians side with multisport engagement as being the most beneficial for athletic development. I understand that this topic may be controversial among players of sports (and their parents) and that deciding how much or how little one should play a specific sport can be difficult. But I bring this topic up to also highlight the variety of sports and activities we have right here in 85085 and surrounding areas that our children can participate in. For soccer involvement, we have Sonoran Foothills Soccer League, with well over 300 participants a year. At the Shops at Norterra, we have No Limits Karate Academy and Dance Academy North. Mountainside Fitness on Carefree Hwy has indoor basketball and soccer leagues through I9 Sports. Best Youth Sports offers a children’s skill-building sports program for ages 2–6 at the Sonoran Foothills Community Center, and 9R Baseball has instructional services for recreational and
advanced players just north of Carefree Highway. We even have our very own Dick’s Sporting Goods to get all the equipment and apparel we need for all the various sports our kids want to play. And what we don’t have in the 85085, we only have to go just one zip code away to participate in cheerleading, gymnastics, football, lacrosse, badminton, golf, swimming, volleyball, equestrian, and so much more. I point all this out to simply suggest that maybe it’s time to reverse the trend of single-sport play by listening to what the experts are saying, by heeding what the higher-level organizations and institutions are looking for, and by taking advantage of the variety of activities we are so blessed to have right at our doorstep. Maybe then will we not just develop a single sport player but rather be on a path to developing a well-rounded athlete.

Get Personal Referrals or Review Social Media Ask around and find referrals from people you trust, and ask to see their before and after results. In the world we live in now, the Internet makes it so easy to research an artist and view testimonials. Medical Considerations Clients with any of these conditions should contact their physician to determine if it will be safe to have a permanent cosmetic procedure: • Diabetes • Glaucoma • Bleeding disorders • Pregnancy • Keloid or hypertrophic scarring • Heart conditions or uncontrolled high blood pressure Any treatment, medication, or illness that compromises the immune system or healing makes you an unlikely candidate for permanent cosmetic procedures. If you’re taking anticoagulants, there could be adverse effects if bleeding occurs. Arizona State Law makes it unlawful to “engage in the business of tattooing, branding, scarifying, implanting, mutilating or body piercing out of a home or an impermanent structure, including a tent, trailer, trunk or other impermanent structure.” (13-3721 Permanent Makeup Licensing Regulations).
DID YOU KNOW? Not only can permanent makeup create the obvious, it can also provide camouflaging options as well. This area of specialty requires years of experience. The field has expanded to include burn victims and cancer survivors, patients with arthritis and Parkinson’s disease who have difficulty putting on makeup, and people who would simply rather limit the amount of time spent in front of a mirror. The word permanent isn’t completely accurate because the color fades with time and does require touch-ups. Some patients develop granulomas (masses of inflamed tissue), keloids and other types of scarring, and blisters, and they sometimes report burning sensations when they undergo an MRI. The inks used in permanent makeup and the pigments in these inks are subject to the scrutiny of the Food and Drug Administration. The adverse reactions to micropigmentation include infections like HIV, hepatitis, staph, and strep from dirty needles as well as allergic reactions to the permanent dyes. Although this information is certainly troubling, the good news is that there are many talented and skilled providers available. Note that I have seen examples of the good and the ugly, so when it comes to your face, never economize. And with permanent makeup, it’s fair to say that you get what you pay for.

The 15-Minute Family-Fitness Workout
Models: Shannon Dougherty and Kari Burghardt and their daughters Photos by: Stephanie Heymann, stephanieheymannphotography.com
Try this quick exercise routine that can be done just about anywhere. By Kim Miller and Shannon Dougherty
EXERCISE HAS A wealth of benefits, including reducing stress, preventing disease, helping to control weight, increasing life expectancy, and improving focus. Studies show that active kids are more likely to become active adults, which illustrates the importantance of teaching them at a young age that exercise can be fun! The American Heart Association recommends that children and adolescents participate in at least 60 minutes of mod-
erate exercise a day. To reach that goal, why not include them in your exercise routine, creating a family activity that’s healthy for everyone? This quick family-friendly workout can easily be done in your backyard, at a park, or at your favorite vacation location this summer. If your children are old enough, have them do it with you, and if they are younger, give them a role in helping.
Set timer for one minute per exercise. Rest one minute in between. Continue for a minimum of 15 minutes. PUSH-UP (optional kid on back) Setup: Lie facedown, placing hands shoulder-width apart and keeping your body in high-plank position. Allow your small child to climb on your back (be cautious of added weight). Action: Slowly lower your chest downward until it almost touches the floor. Pause, then return to starting position.
SQUAT WITH KID Setup: Place your small child on your back. Sit with feet shoulderwidth apart and hands holding on to child. Action: Slowly sit back into a squatted position, keeping your chest up and stomach in tight. Squeeze your glutes as you stand up to starting position.
