Let’s Go! Editor

Gifts I have to take advantage of these next few weeks.

The Princess is leaving for college really soon. The moment has arrived when I must conjure up my wisest, most motherly, important insights about life.

These words of wisdom must come from the heart and convey life lessons that will carry Her Highness into the next phase of her life and beyond.

This cannot be mere advice. Weight must be placed on each and every utterance – both spoken and written – until the end of August.

My speeches must be heartfelt but not preachy. Solemn yet not morose. The knowledge I impart should raise her up and inspire her to achieve greatness.

Oh, enough of that. I hope the Lizard goes to college and has the time of her life.

I want her to make tons of friends, become a master chef, have fun, travel, see things she hasn’t seen and do things she hasn’t done.

I have a wonderful daughter. She is witty and observant. She also is quiet and reserved. She definitely is her own person.

On the cover

Her going off in to the world is kind of like That Girl meets Hell’s Kitchen. When she wants to be, Her Highness can be as perky and sweet as Marlo Thomas. She can be not dissimilar to Chef Ramsay. Either way, it is who she is. I don’t think we could ask for more.

It’s hard to watch your child begin the wind-down toward leaving the nest. But it is exhilarating, too. It makes you proud that they want to leave home, that they have enough confidence to go off into the wild blue yonder to see what’s out there.

Elizabeth will be in Denver, a thousand miles away. She is going without knowing anyone at her school. It’s a brave thing she is getting ready to do.

But that’s the wonder of youth. You don’t exactly know what you’re in for, but you know you want to find out. As a parent, you kind of know what’s what, but you don’t really know. And that’s okay. It is hard to let go, but it’s worse to hold on.

You have to have faith that you’ve done at least an adequate job.

I would never be so arrogant to think I had done a great job. We did our best, loved our daughter and gave her tools to get her started. We spoiled her, no doubt.

Those things may make it a little more difficult to navigate growing up, but she’ll meet the challenges, of that I am certain.

She is well on her way. Her school starts after Labor Day. Soon the leaves will begin to turn. Then the snow will fly. Our little Lizard will experience the four seasons for the first time in her life. It will be a grand adventure. I wish I could go with her. No, I really don’t. My parents had tremendous grace in letting us go. I remain grateful to them for that. If there is only one gift I can give my girl, it is the gift of freedom.

Well, that and a heavy coat. It gets really cold in Denver in the winter.

You might just have room in your home – and in your heart – for a new pet. Nine Lives Foundation has an adoption facility at Petco in Fountain Hills. The organization is always looking for homes for cats and kittens.

This month’s

FOCUS An average of 10 people drown daily in this country according to the Center for Disease Control.

Arizona is second only to Florida in child drowning. In both states, drowning is the leading cause of death in children four and younger.

According to Fountain Hills Rural/ Metro Fire Captain Todd Brunin, most drowning or near-drowning incidents occur in backyard swimming pools.

Everyone recognizes that children can drown in any body of water, but incidents occurring close to home are most common.

According to Brunin, to prevent these

tragedies, certain steps must be taken.

“First and most importantly, if you are a parent or someone who has young children visit and a backyard pool exists, you must maintain a hyper-vigilant mindset that no child will ever be able to get to the pool or spa on their own,” he said. “Additionally, you must accept that no child will be in or near any water without good adult supervision.”

Phoenix Children’s Hospital, along with area fire departments, offer guidelines to help prevent drowning tragedies:

RESERVE OUR FREE MEETING ROOM

A pool is an attractive place for people in the summertime, but vigilance – including removing toys and floating devices – from the pool when not in use can help prevent tragedy.

Know who is in charge. Often in group settings, everyone thinks someone else is watching the children. Designate a “water watcher.”

Know who can swim, and who cannot.

Non-swimming adults are not able to make a rescue and should not be designated as the water watcher. Non-swimming children should be in “touch distance” of the water watcher.

Give the water watcher a break. Don’t ask one adult to supervise too many children, especially those under the age of five.

Add more supervision for large gatherings or busy pools.

Keep up CPR. In water-related emergencies, seconds count. Make sure your CPR skills are current.

Be able to recognize a drowning. Adults and children may look as if they are swimming but they may be in need of rescue.

Drowning also can be entirely silent and when in doubt, the water watcher should act immediately to perform a rescue.

Insist on sobriety. A water watcher should not be under the influence of drugs or alchol.

Brunin outlined the ABCs for pool safety: Adult capable supervision when a child is anywhere near the water. Being capable means the adult is not distracted by conversations, phone calls, texting, doing yard work, cooking or alcohol use. As the water watcher, that person must be the last person to leave the area of the water, making

sure all swimming toys are removed and all access to the area are secured.

Barriers: We know it is nearly impossible to keep your eyes on children at all times. Having a way to isolate a child from the pool or spa provides an extra layer of protection.

Classes: Educate yourself about pool and water safety. Take a CPR class. Know the fastest way to contact 911. When calling 911 from a cell phone, the address will not be shown to the dispatcher, so be prepared with the address. Using a portable home phone may be the better solution.

Be sure to listen to the dispatcher as he or she will assist with CPR or rescue breathing.

The City of Scottsdale Fire offers CPR and first Aid certification classes for the community, as does the Town of Fountain Hills.

Scottsdale Classes are offered at Scottsdale Fire Headquarters, 8401 e. Indian School Rd. Class sizes are a minimum of eight and a maximum of 12.

Homey ‘Spike’s Treats’ great dog hangout Dogs need a hometown place to go, too.

Somewhere they can be themselves, bark a little, run a little, wag a little. Just be dogs. In the true tradition of the late Spike, an American Staffordshire terrier, Spike’s Treats is that place.

Owners Ronnie Sells and Michelle Adams, Spike’s Treats has the “mom and pop” appeal they experienced with a similar

store in the St. Louis area. The owner of that St. Louis store has served as consultant to the couple as they have worked to open the local business.

Fountain Hills homeowners since 2005, the couple began considering opening a store here as they learned more and more about dog health, wellness and nutrition.

“The store is the culmination of what

we learned from Spike and other pets,” Sells said. “When we lost Spike, we were so downtrodden and sad. But out of that sadness we were brought to realize that we have a great support system here. We started exploring the possibilities, and out of a dream to give back to other pet owners came this physical reality.”

When they decided to open the store, putting the deal together happened quickly. They opened April 2 this year and have seen a steady increase in traffic.

“People have told us how much we have helped them with their pets, and we have had amazing support from the community,” Adams said. “We got passionate about (dog) allergies and other illnesses.

Other pet parents are going through the same things. We are all able to help each other.”

The couple attributes the success and passion to the business to Spike.

“He was a wonderful dog, and he taught (cont. on page 7)

There is nothing quite like a dip in the pool on a hot day. Daycare doggies at Zusia’s take advantage of the backyard pools.

Zusia’s pools keep pooches cool Summertime can be as hard on dogs as it is on humans.

Zusia’s doggie salon and su”paw”market has just the thing for your cooped up canine.

Zusia’s is featuring swimming for dogs this summer. The business, located at 16650 E. Palisades Blvd., #110, has two 85-gallon bone-shaped pools and a 29-gallon paw-shaped pool. Customers

may accompany their dogs to the pools, or are invited to have their dogs hang out for daycare by the hour or all day.

“The dogs really like the pools,” said Zusia’s owner Suzanne Paterson.

It’s easy to see that. A bunch of dogs – five to be exact -- were taken out to the play yard and immediately jumped in the pools. They clearly enjoyed their time (cont. on page 8)

ZUSIA’S (cont. from page 6) romping in the cool water and running around with each other. It makes you want to be a dog.

When the dogs aren’t playing in the back, the ones staying in daycare are lounging in the playroom inside, complete with couches, mattresses and lots of toys.

“I don’t like dogs to have to spend a lot of time on concrete,” Suzanne said. “So we have the soft places for them to lie around and enjoy themselves.”

Zusia’s originally opened in Fountain Hills almost five years ago. Some health issues created a situation where Suzanne had to run the business out of her home, but she and her husband, Dana, reopened

the business Feb. 1 this year.

“We are really glad to be back in our building,” Suzanne said.

They have expanded the business to include food and accessories, along with the daycare and grooming.

The slogan used by the Patersons in the business is “Eat, Play, Love,” which is obvious when you see the dogs enjoying themselves. They are happy and playful.

The grooming area is quiet and calm so if a dog has to wait for grooming he is comfortable. A cat groomer may be added in the fall.

Zusia’s is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

LET’S GO! August 2011

Who’s funnier–a lawyer or a comic?

Attorney Bob Howard can tell you

by Linda McThrall Let’s Go! Editor

Standing on a bare stage with a mic and a spotlight may seem daunting when you’re doing standup comedy.

Standing up before the Supreme Court is a lot scarier. Attorney Bob Howard has done both. He loves practicing law, but he has another life delivering punch lines.

Howard, who writes a monthly column in Let’s Go! called ”Finding the Funny” has been doing comedy since the mid-1990s.

He is a journeyman comic. He is part of a little society in the Valley that features solid comedians, intimate clubs and loyal followers.

Tall and thin, Howard is lawyerly, but he has a subtle comportment of funniness. He is talkative, but not chatty. His law practice is one source of material for his comedy routines, but life provides him

with plenty of inspiration. He is cerebral but not stuffy. And he has fun being a comic.

“If it wasn’t fun, if there wasn’t a certain adrenaline rush, people wouldn’t do it,” Howard said. “But as a hobby, it is really fun to do.”

Howard happened in to doing standup comedy. He had been involved with providing entertainment for organizations such as the Scottsdale Chorros, with which he has been involved since 1985. He wrote skits and funny poems for various events the group held. But he had a call from a friend asking him if he would take a standup comedy class with him.

“I couldn’t think of a reason not to take the class,” he said. “And then I just got into it.”

His comedy led to his being named “The Funniest Person in the Valley” in 2001. The contest was held at the Backstage in Scottsdale. Balloting took place over 10 weeks, and Howard learned about the contest on the third of fourth week.

“I was kind of behind others, but I was good at bringing in friends, so I ended up winning,” he said.

The prize was $1,000 and a spot at the Tempe Improv. He opened six shows for Wanda Sykes.

“I got a pretty good idea from that experience how it is for a comic to be on the road, doing one show after another,” he said. “After awhile, it starts feeling like work.”

Howard explored the idea of making comedy his “real” profession.

“It is not an easy thing to do at all,” he said. I took a couple of seminars and realized I wouldn’t like doing this as a profession. I love practicing law, and I enjoy comedy. This way, I have both.”

He performs once or twice a month now.

“That way it doesn’t get monotonous,” he said.

He has developed a 30-minute show and can adapt it to a shorter show if necessary. He also has four or five other five to 10 minute routines.

Scottsdale Attorney Bob Howard will appear at the Comedy Spot in Scottsdale Friday, Aug. 5.

“I do stuff on marriage and divorce,” he said. “I do attorney jokes. I tweak stuff from family law. And I do topical stuff to keep it fresh.”

Howard said his best audiences are older.

“Baby boomers and up,” he said.

Howard does “clean” shows.

“I’m just not a blue guy,” he said. “You can make something funny without an f-bomb.”

Howard’s favorite comedians are pretty clean, too: Jack Benny, Alan King, Red Skelton, Steve Martin. He enjoys the improvisational giants Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and Jonathan Winters.

“They are really amazing,” he said.

“Feeding off an audience and doing your work is pretty incredible.”

Howard said he also likes (Don) Rickles but he doesn’t care for the standup work of (Jerry) Seinfeld.

“I think his TV show was brilliant, but I don’t really like him in his (standup) act,” Howard said. “But not everybody likes Rickles, so it’s all pretty subjective.”

Doing comedy may not be everybody’s cup of joe, but Howard said he will keep doing it as long as there are venues.

“Phoenix is a really good place to do comedy,” he said. “There are a lot of good clubs and little restaurants and bars that have comedy nights.”

George Yang opened up George & Son’s after the birth of his first 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 flavors 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 fillet of fish and Dragon & Phoenix, a medley of shrimp and chicken all in a spicy sauce.

LET’S GO! August 2011

Finding the funny

by Bob Howard

Le Chalet Location: Contact Information, Parking: Le Chalet is located at 5626 W. Bell Road, #101, Glendale 85308. There is plenty of free parking around the restaurant.

The restaurant website is www.lechalet-lic. com. The phone number is (602) 337-8760.

The website to buy tickets for the show is www.cleancomedyclub.com.

Show Times and Tickets: The main show is on the third Saturday of the month. Showtime has been 9:30 p.m. but they moved it to 8:30 p.m. for the summer.

It may be best to call or check the websites to verify. There also is a free show on the first Sunday of the month which is more of an open mic show, although comics do need to be approved by the folks running the events.

Tickets are $10 at the door or a little less if you reserve on line. There is a $10 minimum purchase of food and beverage per person.

Beverage and Food Service: This is an upscale restaurant as opposed to a regular bar. They specialize in French and Swiss cuisine with fondue dishes and crepes.

It is a little bit pricier than some of the other comedy venues, but the restaurant reviews seem to be pretty favorable. I was performing so I did not sample the menu.

An interesting sidelight is that food preparation can be watched on the televisions screens in the room where the comedy show occurs.

The Venue: The comedy happens in a rectangular side room with a capacity of about 65. There is a long bar, a line of tables in the middle and additional tables on the side. The stage is actually in a simulated ice cave so it was like performing in the Matterhorn at Disneyland. The sound was good and visibility of the stage was fine. The lighting could use some improvement.

The Comedians: The show is booked

by Anders Berg who was affiliated with

the now-defunct Ahwatukee Comedy Club. He runs the shows along with local comedian, Keith Ellis.

As you might guess from their website, they specialize in clean comedy, which means you may get some adult subject matter but you are not going to get the four letter words or other obscenities that seem to come with so many of these shows. On the other hand, they don’t bring in out-of-state headliners as do The Comedy Spot or Standup Scottsdale, so you are only going to get local comics.

The night I was there featured Keith Ellis, Bob Kubota, Tom Grayson and Chris Bennett. Bob and Chris have both tried the California comedy scene but are now living and performing in the Phoenix area.

I think these shows definitely will be a step above the many free mid-week bar shows in terms of the quality and quantity of humor. The show is reasonably priced and you will have no problem meeting the $10 per person expenditure if you

have dinner there. I don’t think it will be the laugh riot you are likely to get with some of the dedicated comedy clubs, but it should make for a pleasant and inoffensive evening out.

Rating: I gave Le Chalet a rating of cc.

If you like a show with your dinner, this should be a great evening on the town. (*Note: Ratings are based on the overall quality of a club. CCC=best; CC=above average; C=average.)

Bob Howard is a full time family law attorney in Scottsdale and a part time comic.

If you would like to contact him, send your email to rhoward@jekel-howard.com.

Catch Bob at Comedy Spot Bob Howard will be performing at the Comedy Spot on Friday, August 5, 2011. Go to www.thecomedyspot.net for further information. The Comedy Spot is located at 7117 E. Third Ave., in Scottsdale Howard performs at 8 and 10 p.m. Tickets are $10.

If July is the time to celebrate Christmas early, then August must be the early October, as a fourth of this month’s big releases fall into the horror genre.

For families, you’re pretty much stuck with the new Spy Kids flick releasing midAugust. Sorry about that.

The chillers start a bit earlier in the month with Final Destination 5 dropping Aug. 12. Yet another group of people must be killed off in yet another series of creative deathtraps, once again being brought to you in glorious 3D. If that’s not your sort of thing, then you might be more interested in the remake of Fright Night hitting the screen Aug. 19.

Dr. Who fans will be happy to see David Tennant make an appearance in this film about a nerd-turned-jerk who must save

20

his neighborhood from a pointy-toothed creature of the night who may or may not be his next door neighbor.

Finally, and earning my pick for the month, is Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, opening Aug. 26. This remake of the 1973 television movie is being penned by none other than Guillermo del Toro, perhaps best known for his work on the haunting adult fairytale, Pan’s Labyrinth.

Afraid of the Dark looks to be another terrific stab at dark fantasy, though its R rating makes it clear that this ghost story is not meant for the wee ones.

With Halloween only a couple months away, you might as well get in the spirit of the season a bit early and check out something scream-worthy.
