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.

I am fi xing to go to Oklahoma. You might remember that last month I wrote about my stuff. Or everybody’s stuff. One of the reasons I’m going back to the heartland is because I need to help my mom and siblings clean out my mom’s stuff – in storage. That is a great way to contain stuff. Stick it in storage and forget about it. Ex-cept you have to pay for that, and I think it’s high time my mother stopped paying for stuff she doesn’t even know she has. She has two units. One is fi lled with my dad’s stuff, the other has Mom’s junk. This will probably resemble the Great Storage Wars when it’s all said and done. My dad’s unit will have maps and core samples in it. He was a geologist. Every inch of the Four Corners is mapped out by hand by my dad. And every inch of the Four Corners is stored in Bethany, Okla. We will be inclined to just throw all the paper away. But one of us – I’m not sure which one it will be – will want to look at

it fi rst. And then we’ll start discovering all this valuable information about oil and gas in the Four Corners and then we’ll prob-ably fi gure that we really shouldn’t throw it away, because it probably is worth a fortune, and even if it isn’t worth a fortune, it has historical value and if we could just fi nd a geologist alive who would be inter-ested in the stuff, we could just donate it to somebody and somebody would be so happy to have all my dad’s maps and core samples and other geologist toys that we would feel a lot better that we went ahead and decided to keep the storage room. We’ll take care of everything as soon as that magic geologist comes along and says he or she wants all these valuable papers and maps and reports and cores and geologist toys. As for my mom’s storage, she said she has no idea what’s in there. Which would logically mean we could just go in, sweep it into a dumpster and walk away. But again, one of us is going to want to see what’s in those boxes and then we’ll be going down memory lane and laughing our heads off about some dopey picture or something we remember doing and then we’ll get all sentimental and won’t want to get rid of stuff and we’ll end up keeping it all and deciding to deal with it another time. So the long and the short of it is this: don’t get a storage unit. Once you have it, you’ll never get rid of it. Unless you die, and you’ll stop paying the rent, and then your stuff will be on national TV someday and it could be embarrassing. You won’t know that, but your kids sure will.

Halloween in the Hills is one of the most popular family-oriented events in the community. This year’s celebration is no exception. Families can enjoy the festivities from 4 to 8 p.m. on the Avenue of the Fountains.

Help Is Only A Phone Call Away!

Sometimes people know from child-hood what their calling is. Often, they ignore those passions as they grow up and follow a more conven-tional path. And, too, they continue to be stirred by those early feelings. Such is the case for Fountain Hills resident Andrea Sobotka. Sobotka spent much of her career in the corporate world, working in fi nance. But at a crossroads in her life, and a few life changing events, she left corporate life and went back to something that made her happy as a girl – being with and working with animals. “I am really an outdoors person,” Sobotka said. “I love being in touch with the ebb and fl ow of the earth and its crea-tures.” After moving to Fountain Hills from Canada and working with her husband in a consulting business, she began to work more closely with people and their animals. “It is something I love to get back to the

natural order of things,” she said. She began working with Liberty Wildlife in Scottsdale as a volunteer. The nonprofi t organization is made up of vol-unteers who help wild animals transition back to the wild. Animals often come in injured or sick, and the volunteers help rehabilitate the animals. “Working with Liberty Wildlife is even better than yoga for me,” Sobotka said. “There is a tremendous amount of joy in releasing a hawk or an owl back to the sky after it has been unable to fl y.” Sobotka says her gift is to work as a healer for animals. “I have always had the power of energy,” she said. “And I am able to help animals heal by using this energy.” Through her work as a healer, she has evolved – much by accident – to a posi-tion as coordinator for “Healing Touch for Animals,” another organization designed to help people help animals.

Sobotka met a woman named Lynn Strolyn. They started talking and dis-covered they had a love for animals in common. Strolyn gave her her business card, which had information about Heal-ing Touch for Animals. She looked in to the organization and took some of their classes. She said Healing Touch for Animals is designed for anyone who wants to enhance the well-being of animals through energy medicine. A growing number of veterinar-ians, vet techs, animal trainers, pet owners and others use the work every day. “I have been to many conferences and seminars in my life, but I have never seen one as well developed, well-thought out or organized as the Healing Touch one was,” she said. Taking the classes has given her more confi dence. “I also want people to be confi dent that I know how to work with animals using a methodology that is tested and successful,” she said. A Healing Touch for Animals course

is scheduled in Scottsdale Oct. 5, 6 and 7. The fi rst two days are designed to help people work with their smaller animals such as dogs and cats, and the fi nal day is “large animal day,” where students work with horses. For more information about the Level 1 Course, visit www.healingtouchfora-nimals.com/Level_One_a/255.htm. The Scottsdale class will be held at the Holiday Inn Express at Gold Dust and Shea. Heal-ing Touch for Animals Founder Carol Komitor will teach the fi rst two days of the class. The big animal day will be held at Horse Help, located at Cave Creek Road and the 101 Freeway. In addition to her work with Healing Touch for Animals, Sobotka works with animals at Spike’s Treats in Fountain Hills. Under the title of “Critter Love,” Sobotka gives people a “sampler” of what she can do. “Pet owners can bring their animals to Spike’s and it gives me an opportunity to talk with the owner and get some time with the animal,” she said. For more information about Sobotka and her activities, check out her Website at www.spiritanimalwisdom.com.

Scott Baxter leads Author Series The Fountain Hills Library Asso-ciation’s Author Series begins in October with a presentation by Photographer Scott Baxter. His new book, 100 Years, 100 Ranchers, is a documentary in photos of Arizona’s ranchers. The Arizona ranching tradition is steeped in the state’s history. It was and is a diffi cult way of life, but the survival of Arizona ranchers who have dealt with drought, development and other obstacles are the subject of Baxter’s book and his

talk. He photographed 100 Arizona ranchers whose families have been ranching in the state since 1912 or before. Through the project, Baxter recognizes the dedication and perseverance of the state’s ranchers in the face of many obstacles. Baxter’s presentation is set for Thurs-day, Oct. 25, at 2 p.m. in the library’s reading lounge. Fountain Hills Library is located at 12901 N. LaMontana Drive.

CARE seeks volunteers Blue collar guy atScottsdale Art Center Twenty-fi ve percent of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour takes the stage at in Scottsdale Friday, Oct. 12, in two shows. Bill Engvall, a founding member of the original Blue-Collar Comedy Tour, appears at 7 and 10 p.m. at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets are $49, $59 and $79. A special Date Night Pack-age, starting at $98, also is available. The pack-age includes two tickets to the performance, two drinks in the Sky Lounge and a coupon for 20 percent off any purchase at the Store that evening. Regular tickets are available online at www.scottsdaleperformingarts.org or through the Patron Services Box Offi ce, (380) 499-8587. Package tickets are available by telephone only, using the promo code “Date Night.” The offer ends Oct. 11. Engvall is one of the top comedians working today. A native of Galveston, Texas, he moved to Dallas and was working as a disc jockey with plans to become a teacher. While in a night-club one evening, he decided to try his hand at stand-up comedy and found that making people laugh was a passion. Soon after, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue television opportunities. Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts is located at 7380 E. Second St in Scottsdale.

CARE/FH just celebrated its fi fth an-niversary recently. CARE stands for Crisis Activated Re-sponse Effort is Fountain Hills’ volunteer group committed to provide support and assistance to Valley residents during and after an unexpected tragedy. The organiza-tion is seeking volunteers to help with the wide-variety of calls received. CARE/FH Program Director Victo-ria Bertone, said volunteers help first responders on-scene of accidents and crises of varying types. Dispatch requests include calls about homelessness, sub-stance abuse, sudden death, residential fi res, incorrigible youth and more. Calls are initiated by the 9-1-1 system. The need for volunteers is greater than ever, Bertone said. Compared to the sec-ond quarter of 2011 when CARE received 46 dispatches, the same time period in 2012 shows 52 dispatches were received. Some 95 people were served in the second quarter of 2012. “While our response fi gures are up, our volunteer participation is down,” Bertone said. “We would be happy to talk with people who would like to volunteer, or who would just like more information about the program.”

The monthly art show and sale, Art in the Park gets under way Oct. 6 after its summer respite. The event, featuring work by members of the Fountain Hills Art League, will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting. The series continues the fi rst Saturday of each month through May 2013. Each show is held behind the shops at Plaza Fountainside located at Saguaro and El Lago boulevards.

The ninth annual Tour de Scottsdale is set for Sunday, Oct. 14. In the past, the event has been held the fi rst week of October, but organiz-ers decided the later date would provide cyclists some reprieve from the heat. The event will now be held the second Sunday of October. Tour de Scottsdale features a 70-mile and 30-mile ride, both launching from Market Street at DC Ranch. Both routes wind around the McDowell Sonoran Preserve en-compassing mountain views of Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Carefree and Fountain Hills. Each mile benefi ts the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy. Cyclists can register for either ride at www.active.com. Regis-tration packets may be picked up from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, or Sunday beginning at 5 a.m. at Market Street at DC Ranch. Registration deadline is Oct. 12. In addition to the ride, an expo will be featured from 8 a.m.

to noon, followed by tour awards. More than 2,000 novice, intermediate, advanced and professional cyclists from the valley and country are expected to participate in the race. Sponsored by DC Ranch Community Council, the group enables opportunities for civic, cultural, educational, social, philanthropic and recreational involvement.

Robbie Fox’s Public House Location. Contact Information, Park-ing: Robbie Fox’s Public House is located at 640 S. Mill Ave. in the heart of old town Tempe. Contact phone is (480) 642-6442 and website is www.robbiefox.com. There is street parking and the meters seem to be shut off at night, but most of the spaces were occupied. There is a public lot just west of the restaurant and parking was only a few dollars. The show is booked by Boomer Nichols of Bruhaha Productions so you may also be able to get information on his website. Show Times and Tickets: This is a Thursday night show with an 8 p.m. start

time. Admission is free so you don’t need reservations. It started as a weekly show, but they went to a monthly show as of September. It looks like it will either be on the second or third Thursday of the month, so check with the restaurant to fi nd out when it will be happening. The October show is Oct. 18. Beverage and Food Service: The comedy room only seems to get beverage service. But, the restaurant has a full menu including sandwiches, salads, soups, Irish Fare and entrees. Everything is reasonably priced so you will not have to break the bank. If you want to get dinner, I would get there early to eat in the restaurant and then move into the comedy room around 7:30 p.m.

The Venue: The comedy is done in a side room with a capacity of about 60. There are no distractions from the restaurant and no televisions. There is a small stage to elevate the talent and both the lighting and sound system were good. Seating is around tables so it is a comfort-able room for a show. This is a step up from the typical free bar show where many of the patrons came to drink without knowing there was a comedy night and talk through the entire show. The audi-ence was there to see the show and was respectful of the comics. The Comedians: This show is booked by Bruhaha Productions so Boomer Nich-ols will be a frequent host or performer.

He is using mostly locals with an out of town headliner. The headliner for October will be Brandt Tobler and the headliner for November is Diaz Mackie. There is a good variety as he put up fi ve or six comics in addition to the headliner the night I was there. This is the kind of show that will ap-peal to a college crowd, so you can expect some blue subject matter and adult words. I would not bring the kids. I suspect that many of the local comics will be using a venue like this to work on new material. Every joke is not going to be hilarious, but there should be enough humor to make it worth a look. Couple that with an out of town professional comic and you are going to get a pretty good bang for your buck. Rating: cc-This a step above the free events you usually get in the middle of the week. The comedy is performed in a dedicated room and includes an out of town professional headliner. It’s hard to go too far wrong when the price of admission is this low. (*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 at-torney in Scottsdale and a part-time comic. If you would like to contact him, send your email to [email protected]. He appears at the Comedy Spot Friday, Nov. 2, at 8 and 10 p.m. The Comedy Spot is located at 7117 E. Third Ave. in Scottsdale.
