In this issue: water fun for veterans, bows and arrows, Moms go to prom and sing for spring.

This column includes announcements of seminars, workshops, community events, fundraisers and other programs for which there is an admission charge, a donation expected or you are otherwise expected to spend money, such as shopping events. Advance registration is required at some these events, so you might see them listed here weeks before they are scheduled to occur.

If you are looking for programs or activities where there is no charge for admission, you can check my weekly "Free Things To Do" column (it comes out every Monday), or check the monthly calendar of recurring annual events.

Events are presented here in date order.

This week you can play golf if you're a kid, picture Ravel, see an old western, watch a strong woman, get fit, go to a birthday party, see a treasure hunter movie, go to another birthday party, dedicate a building, make something cute, go to a community fair, do it by hand, party at a museum, see a family film, walk to remember and see history come alive.

This column includes activities and programs in the Greater Phoenix area that have free admission. If you are looking for fundraisers, seminars, workshops, and other community programs that have an admission charge, or where donations are expected, I have a separate column for those. I call them "Phoenix Area Programs, Fundraisers & Events" and you can find those listings in my blog. They tend to cover a wider range of dates than a week, because advance registration is often required. For a long list of programs and festivals that are annual events in Greater Phoenix check the calendar.

Some of our worst offenders this month have restaurant names that are the same as or very similar to other restaurants in the Valley that did not fail their inspections. Make sure that you note the address of the culprits -- you wouldn't want to punish a hard-working, conscientious business for another restaurant's lackadaisical attitude.

This list represents those restaurants (not schools, caterers, corporate cafeterias, bakeries or other food processing businesses) that had five or more Risk Factor violations -- those that are considered a risk for foodborne illness -- during their last inspection. There is no magic to that number; a restaurant that had that many Risk Factors would be one that I'd avoid, at least until they had subsequent inspections showing more understanding of safe food preparation standards and concern for their patrons.

Here is the list of those restaurants in Maricopa County which had 5 or more Risk Factors noted on their last inspection. After you peruse that, please take a look at the many Phoenix area restaurants that achieved perfect inspections during the month of April 2012.

Another easy one today! I took this photo somewhere in the metro Phoenix area. You'll find this statue in one of the cities and towns located within Maricopa County.
