On October 2nd, as she has for the past 12 years, Mayor Mary Manross will proclaim October to be McDowell Sonoran Month. MSC organizers hope this year's month-long celebration is the best yet.
This year's theme, "It's Your Preserve", was selected as a tribute to the community who wisely protected Scottsdale's most valuable natural resource for future generations.

In an era when some destination spas are lavishing glitz and gimmicks on customers willing to pay up to $1,000 a day for pampering, a few renegades are bucking the trend with a back-to-basics approach at relatively low prices, says USA Today. Clearly, there's a demand, says the paper. Affordable spa vacations is the most-searched category on Spafinder.com, a Web site that lists 4,000-plus facilities worldwide. Searches in that category, which Spa Finder puts in the $200-$300 a night range, have doubled in the past year.
