CELEBRATING THE FABULOUS FOURTH IN MUNDS PARK

2015 Fourth of July Parade Grand Marshal isFire Chief John Welsch

Pinewood Blvd. may be a war zone but theIndependence Day Parade that has becomethe earmark of festivities for the MundsPark community will go on as it has everyyear to celebrate our country’s start and thefreedom we all enjoy as citizens of theUnited States. The honorary Grand ParadeMarshal is chosen by the PinewoodProperty Owners’ Association, the sponsorof the parade, from a field of candidates thathave done much to improve the quality oflife for our community and make MundsPark the wonderful place it is.

John is the Chief of the Pinewood FireDepartment and has been since October2008. He has overseen many advancementswithin the Department by focusing on aleadership program he developed when hefirst joined the group. His core belief is toinstill leadership within all ranks of the fire-fighting team by adopting a standardizedbudgeting/wage scale system and havingeach department associate be in charge of aspecific venue within the department. It hasproved to be very successful.

Chief Welsch acknowledges that actual fire-fighting is a small portion of the overall joband that EMS (Emergency MedicalServices) comprises 85%-90% of the over-all job. He is proud of his role in orchestrat-ing community health and fitness programsat the fire station like the Zumba and Tai-Chi classes that have taken place at the

station for the last several years. He is alsoexceptionally proud of his wife of 34 years,Linda, who single-handedly has broughtnearly one million dollars worth of grants tothe organization over the past sevenyears….as a volunteer! “She is a grant writing machine!”

John served in the United States Navy earn-ing awards of distinction in the early seven-ties and went on to obtain an education atColombia Southern University, St. Luke’sHospital as a paramedic and PhoenixCollege, ultimately receiving a bachelor ofScience in Fire Sciences. He is currentlyworking on a dual master degree inEmergency Services and OccupationalSafety and Health.

John and Linda raised three sons, Scott,Rusty and Casey, all of whom are marriedwith Rusty and Casey following in Dad’sfootsteps to become a firefighter andparamedic. The oldest, Scott is a BusinessManager for a medical software company.They are the proud grandparents to three,Will, Lillith and Leilani with a fourth grand-child on the way!

Windingthrough

Page Springsby

Stacey“Vagabonding Lulu”

Wittig Travel Writer

After driving straight through high country desertsnear Sedona, I drop down into a hidden dale of green.Page Springs is a small valley cut into buff-coloredlimestone by Oak Creek, which flows year round.Rotating my steering wheel to hit the apex of the firsttight turn, I follow the freshly painted pavement thatwinds along the riparian greenway. My old auto racinginstincts kick in. You can’t drive fast on Page SpringsRoad, but the doglegs, declining radius turns and eleva-tion changes remind me of some of my favorite roadracecourses.

The short, seven-and-a-half mile stretch of PageSprings Road carries a load of Arizona history. Hereprehistoric people grew corn, beans and squash.Homesteaders dug canals to water orchards and fieldsof vegetables that fed Jerome’s miners. Cowboys likethe Girdners drove 100s of head of cattle from here tohigher pastures keeping these irrigated lands open for

haymaking. TodayGirdner Trail is afavored hike, canalsirrigate vineyards andthe lush valley ishome to three winer-ies that are open tothe public.

“Here we haveplenty of access toground water,” saysDave Baird, winepourer and student ofthe nearby YavapaiCollege viticulture

program. I’ve stopped at Page Springs Cellars for tastesof some of the 35-60 different wines and vintagesoffered. The comfortable tasting room is high above thecreek, and the winery is right under my feet. Through awindow, I look down at winemaker Eric Glomski, as hetastes from barrels. Glomski discovered this PageSprings hideaway while mapping perennial waterwaysduring ecology studies. After working Californiawineries, he returned to open Page Springs Cellars in2004. Now a prominent Arizona winemaker, he hostsriver cruises to European wine country.

Sitting in the lounge, I feel the California influenceof Glomski’s experience: leather couches, original art,Riedel stemware for club members and trendy music. Inosh on local pecans, (I just watched a local ranchercarry in a bag), seasonal cheeses and toasted crostini.While tasting my wine flight, I imagine seeing Viennafor the first time on the Arizona Winemaker’s Cruise.Too soon, it’s time to check into my accommodations,so I bid adieu to friendly pourers and drive a short fif-teen minutes to Sycamore Springs Guest House.

“I’ve been driving between Sedona and Cottonwoodfor eighteen years, and I never dreamed this lush oasiswas here,” I say excitedly to innkeeper Shirley Millar.The beauty of shady Mulberry trees, sloping greens fed

by brook-like irrigation canals and the peaceful sym-phony of trilling birds, croaking frogs and chirpingcrickets is stunning. Millar shows me around the secretgarden-like retreat built on historic ranchland. “Theonly noise you’ll hear is the occasional moo of a cow,”smiles Millar, who raises grass-fed beef while tendingto guests’ needs. The rustic setting is trimmed, prunedand accessible. I’m surprised to find neat, curving con-crete walkways upon which my roller bag pulls effort-lessly.

Back in 1983, when I first hired on withPinewood Fire, the fire Chief then hadjust gone to the community with arequest to purchase our own ambulanceand apply for our own Certificate ofNecessity. The State of ArizonaDepartment of Health Services had justimplemented the Certification programfor ambulance services. In fact, ourCertification number from DHS is 2!Sedona beat us with 1.

The chief had gone to the annualproperty owners’ association meetingand made his presentation to the mem-bers requesting donations to purchasean ambulance and outlining his plan toget our own C.O. N. There was anambulance service here but it came outof Flagstaff. The wait for their arrival wasat a minimum 30 minutes, and if theywere busy, much longer than that.

Within thirty days we had collectedover $30,000 towards the ambulancepurchase and the C.O.N. process hadbegun. As soon as the ambulance com-pany out of Flagstaff (FEMS-FlagstaffEmergency Medical Service) found out,they filed to have our request set asiderebutting or contention that theirresponse times were not as we statedand they also said that if Munds Parkwas take away from them, they would goout of business! We proved both issueswrong and asked that residents send inletters with their stories of how ourambulance service was necessary forthis community. We also packed theroom when our hearing came up. Nocontest, we were granted our ownC.O.N. in 1984.

Arizona Department of HealthServices oversees our operation andsets our rates based on our request andthe backup information we supply. Themake a trip out or up here every year foran inspection. DHS usually makes anappointment to come out and inspect theambulances for required equipment andmaintenance records but not always. Atthat time they also check the certificationof all members of the duty team. Therehas to be at least two Advanced LifeSupport certified on each shift (we havetwo ambulances), and they must havetheir certification cards on their person,or that’s the way it used to be. Theyhave a list of the minimum supplies wehave to maintain on the ambulance and,in the past, they have actually counted4x4 pads (unsterile of course) to makesure we had at least the minimum count.

Our original C.O.N. area was MundsPark and I-17 from Newman Park to the

crossover at the scenic overlook as wellas five miles east and west of theInterstate. A few years down the roadduring the tenure of Chief DaveBroomfield, we added to our areaextending North to Kelly Canyon andSouth to Stoneman Lake Rd. Interstate17 at the time of our first C.O.N. wasrequired by DHS and there’s been morethan a couple of residents who have hadaccidents between mile post 306 andmile post 330.

While I was at the fire department andhad access to all run log records therewas usually a call du jour for the summermonths. It could be anything, but some-things seem to repeat more than othersin different years. Of course, heartattack and stroke are big ones that hap-pen more often than others, but everyonce in a while we get a plethora ofKidney Stones, abdominal pain, bloodynoses. Fall injuries are also a bigresponse item. One thing with fallinjuries is that you don’t know what youare rolling into... what happened, whatmade them fall, how far did they fall, didthey lose consciousness. The answersto those questions can determine if it isconsidered a medical or trauma call.Most fall patients are trauma and put onback boards until x-rays rule out spinalinjuries at the hospital, unless it is obvi-ous a medical issue and it is deemedthere is no chance of spine trauma.

Each ambulance is used for a mini-mum of ten years before it is replaced.Our first ambulance was purchasedused for $30,000 plus. It was a 4 wheeldrive unit with a walk through to the frontdriver’s compartment and it was whitewith a blue stripe. Our second ambu-lance was a very uncomfortable ride andwas also white with blue. Since then, allnew ambulances purchased have beena form of red matching the fire trucks. Ittook me awhile to get used to that coloron the ambulances, but now I like it. Itdoes look better than the old blue andwhite color scheme.

If crew and ambulances are available,they do show kids of all ages through theambulances and the fire trucks. Plan tobring kids and grandkids down onSaturday, July 25th for the Annual Kid’sSafety Day. They usually have a bikerodeo and lots of other fun safety things,plus the Auxiliary provides hot dogs,chips and a drink free to the kids.

DO YOU KNOWWHERE YOUR

KEYS ARE?

~ Custom Wood Signs made here ~ “You Say It, We’ll Make It!”

Here is a story I want to share with you.It’s a family story and it’s about chocolate.So just stick with me and you will see howit all comes together.

Did you see the movie Unbroken ? It’sthe story of Louie Zamperini in a Japaneseconcentration camp during WWII. In myfamily we have a similar story aboutWWII. My uncle, aunt and infant cousinwere prisoners in a Japanese concentrationcamp in the Philippines. My uncle wasn’tin the military but rather a mining engineerwho was working in that area. As talk of apossible invasion to the Philippine Islandsspread, most of the executive for the min-ing company returned to the U.S. As theJr. Engineer, my uncle was assigned to tiethings up and leave but he didn’t get out intime. There were several air-raid sheltersscattered in and around the city where theyresided. During the first air attack 10 or12 Americans were huddled together inone of those shelters. The booming seemsto come in waves and there were severalhits that rattled the shelter. At the end ofthe first wave was a few minutes of silencebefore the second began and someone inthe group called out, “Is everyone OK?”“Fine, ok, alright here”, were the answers.“No”, replied my aunt in a very smallvoice.Everyone turned to her with concern as shesaid “I’m in labor”. Before the air attackended a healthy baby was born. Nowthat’s what I call bad timing.

After several more attacks my relatives feltthey would be safer to leave the city andthe continued booming. Many things hap-pened to them, including living with somenative headhunters for a short timebecause they needed food and shelter.They eventually were captured and sent toa Japanese concentration camp. Whilebeing held as prisoners my uncle and aunt,of course, thought a lot about their familyand the siblings they left behind is the U.S.When my uncle thought of my Mother healways visualized the chocolate cake sheused to bake. There were many days inthe concentration camp when the onlyfood was a cup of rice per person per day.This only intensified his thoughts for mymother’s chocolate cake which by nowhad become an obsession in his mind. Myuncle, aunt and cousin all survived WWIIand the concentration camp in fair health.They often talked about their Americanpride when they saw the U.S. Army jeepsroll into the concentration camp at the endof WWII; there in the middle of all thedust, dirt, noise and confusion was GeneralMcArthur, in charge and issuing orders.At that point, all the prisoners knew theywere safe, they were free and they weregoing home. The “home” my uncle, auntand cousin came to was the South Dakotafarm owned by my parents. I was only asmall child at the time but I can rememberthe excitement of the moment and storiesof captivity that were told and retold.However, my most vivid memory is mymother baking chocolate cake after choco-

late cake for her brother. Here is her recipe.

Amanda’s Chocolate Cake1 cup sour cream2 cups sugar2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla2 cups flour1 teaspoon soda¾ cup cocoa powder1 cup boiling waterBeat together sour cream, sugar, eggs andvanilla. Add the flour, soda and cocoa andblend well. Stir in the boiling water (batterwill be thin). Pour into a greased 9 X 13pan and bake for 40 minutes at 350degrees.

Cream Cheese Frostings4 oz cream cheese4 oz butter2 cups confectioners’ sugar1 tablespoon cream or half and half1 teaspoon vanillaSoften butter and blend with cream cheese.Add the sugar, cream and vanilla andblend well.

Here is a great recipe but you need to be ina mood to putter in the kitchen, it’s verytime consuming but well worth the effort.Everyone will appreciate it or at least theyshould.

Silk Chocolate PiePastry for one single-crust pie 9”. Eitherhomemade or refrigerated in the store1/3 cup sugar¼ cup cornstarch2 ½ cups half and half cream4 egg yolks4 oz. semisweet chocolate finely chopped¼ cup cognac or brandyTopping:1 cup heavy whipping cream1 tablespoon cognac or brandy1 tablespoon sugarPlace the pastry in a 9 inch pie plate flutethe edges of the pie. You will need to linethe unpricked pastry with 2 layers of foiland pie weights, beans or rice to keep bub-bles from forming. Bake for 20 minutes at400 degrees and 10 minutes more withoutthe weights and lining until golden brown.Cool completely. In a heavy saucepan mixtogether the sugar, cornstarch and whisk inthe cream. Cook and stir over mediumheat until thickened. In a small bowlwhisk a small amount of the hot mixtureinto egg yolk and return all to hot mixturewhisking constantly. Cook and stir overlow heat for 1 minute longer. Removefrom heat and stir in the chocolate andblend. Cool at room temp and spoon intocrust.

For topping. In a small bowl beat creamuntil thick, add cognac and sugar. Spreadover chocolate filling in crust. Serveimmediately and refrigerate any left over.

PINEWOOD PLAYERS NEWS

Theatrical productions aren’t just about the acting. Before an audience sees the

first performance, a huge amount of work has been done to prepare for opening

night.

First, the director and stage designer discuss the stage set. The director general-

ly has a vision of what she want the stage to look like, but the person in charge of

stage design makes that happen, directing our carpenters to build partitions and

false walls, doorways and windows. He’ll make sure everything gets painted

(sometimes even mixing the paint himself). We have a small stock of furniture in

storage (you’ll see some pieces used over and over if you come to plays regularly)

but we get lots more from people’s homes and garage sales.

A props manager will round up all the knickknacks – the “stuff” that makes the

play seem real: a telephone from the ‘50s, a hat rack, a typewriter, surf boards, all

the things the director needs to make the story come alive.

The sound and lights techs do their own kind of magic a week before the show

opens. Sound technicians find recordings of creaking doors and thunder and music

to use in the play and the light techs stand on ladders and move those lamps you

see on the ceiling of the play house. There are more than twenty lights up there

and each one needs to be focused so that for this particular play, no actor will be

talking in the shadows.

The stage manager usually begins her work a couple weeks before the play is

shown. She gathers up a team of stage hands, and works with actors and the direc-

tor to make sure everything will go smoothly back stage and during scene

changes.

And the result? Look for a review of Hallelujah Girls on page 40 in this week’s

newspaper.

PINEWOOD IS PERFECT -PASS IT ON (History-Part 3)

By Jan Toth

The Munds Park General Store (frominformation written by Linda WilsonRadosevich) was a small market, lunchcounter, post office and it headquartered aCoconino County Deputy Sheriff’s office.Linda remembers spending Saturdays withhim and getting private turs of some of thehomes. Mr. Oakes’ home had a trout pondin the front yard; Mallory’s cabin hadmaid’s quarters and the Ryan’s house witha separate guest house and foot bridge.

The store was frugally stocked because, asa mostly summer place, there were only afew year rounders like Curtis Nelson,Pattie and Kel Fox, Linda and Don VanDeren from the Highway Camp, DaveTyler who ran the Chevron Station (nowthe Shell station). Summer residents wouldcall and ask him to pick up certain groceryitems for them when they were preparingto come up to “the cabin” especially overThanksgiving and Christmas. Summeradditions were Popsicles and ice creambars. There were always kids around whenCamp Tacoloma was in session. As rusticas it was, it housed kids of famous andwell to do people.

Kel Fox helped Robbie and Gladys peti-tion in order to establish the first postoffice in Munds Park. Robbie also gainedthe contract to haul the mail betweenFlagstaff and Munds Park. He usually car-ried two bags, one for Mountainaire andone for Munds Park. There was a drop boxon the northbound exit toMountainaire/Kachina Village where hedropped mail in the morning and pickedmail up again in the evening on the wayback into town. In the summer with theinflux to Munds Park and Tacoloma heoften had three or four full mail bags. Thepost office was in the southwest corner ofthe store where Robbie built the tongueand groove pine plank corner unit.

When Robbie sold the store to Joe andAlice Moseuk in 1968, he moved the postoffice across the street to a small, vacantreal estate office. Angling it just so, hisoriginal counter fit through the door to thenew post office, he even had room for acouple of chairs in the sun. A reporter fromthe Arizona Daily Sun did a story in 1973and dubbed it “The Tiniest Post Office inAmerica”. In June of 1975 a modularhome was moved from Flagstaff hauled ona flatbed truck down the freeway. Lindasays that even with all the pictures her dadhad on the wall she could not figure out

how they got it across the freeway since itwouldn’t fit through the underpass. Sinceshe does remember it had to be taken thewrong way down either the freeway or oneof the exit ramps, that’s probably theanswer as to how it got across to this sideof the freeway. DPS monitored the wrongway process and was approved by ArizonaDepartment of Transportation. The newpost office was outfitted with used privatemail boxes from the Flagstaff Post Office.The post office only utilized one half ofthe building and the other half was first agift shop then a beauty salon, then a realestate office. When her dad retired in1981, the year-round residents were about50 families and the summer residents num-bered over 600.

Gwen Iverson took bovver as Postmasterin May of 1979 and her husbands, Dale,took over the mail pick up and return toFlagstaff. The postal service grew rapidlywith many people moving into the NorthLodge, Northernaire, Oakwood and partic-ularly the Pinewood Subdivisions. Moretiers of individual boxes were bought andthe space was expanded to encompass thewhole building. More on the Post OfficeLater.

The board of the Oakwood Country Club,mainly Red Oak, decided the club wasn’t,and could not make money, let alone breakeven. Red Oak was tired of subsidizingthe club and sought other investors.Panaire Investment Company came in witha six man board of directors, Theodore

Seavey, Walter Callar, Lloyd Frimersdorf,Edvin L. Rose, Donald Calland, and LarryLaughlin. They planned for a democraticcommunity of some 800 home sites withadvanced planning to 1300. They had bigplans! The planned to construct a completeutility system for service to include a tele-phone plant, power distribution house,water supply system, gas supply systemand a common warehouse and mainte-nance facility and office building. To sup-port operations during the construction tocompletion and development required cap-ital of some $10 million dollars in 1960dollars.

They went into the co-adventure with afirm called Premco (Phoenix Engineeringand Manufacturing Company. They werethorough in their estimated costs and theyrecruited officers, comptroller, sales man-ager, director of engineering, director ofresearch, director of quality control andreliability and personnel manager alongwith a staff of about ten people. But thedream did not materialize althoughOakwood had its interchange.To be continued…

Financial Focus

What Are Your Excuses for Not Investing?

It’s almost the Fourth of July — time for fire-

works, picnics and a reflection on all the liber-

ties we possess in this country. But if you’re

going to enjoy the freedom to do the things you

want, especially during your retirement years,

you’ll want to take the steps necessary to

achieve your own “Financial Independence

Day.”

Here are a few suggestions for helping you

reach that goal:

• Liberate yourself from debt. For most of

us, a certain amount of debt is unavoidable. But

the greater control you can gain over your debts,

the better off you will be, because any dollars

not spent in paying debts can be used to save

and invest for your future. So look for ways to

cut down on your spending and think about

postponing some purchases until you can pay

for them in cash. It may not be easy, but it’s pos-

sible. And by putting this “found money” to

work immediately in quality investments, you

may motivate yourself to keep a lid on your debt

level.

• Unlock the power of time. Albert Einstein

once said, “The most powerful force in the uni-

verse is compound interest.” Einstein, who

knew a thing or two about the nature of time,

clearly recognized its importance in investing.

In fact, as an investor, time may be your greatest

ally. The more years in which you invest, the

more dollars you’ll put in, and the longer you’ll

have for your investments to potentially grow.

Even if you’re just starting out in your career

and can only invest a small amount each month,

you’ll be starting to accumulate the amount

you’ll eventually need to enjoy the retirement

lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

• Release your investments’ growth poten-

tial. To attain financial freedom during your

retirement years, you will need to invest for

growth — it’s that simple. So include an appro-

priate amount of growth-oriented vehicles in

your overall investment mix. Ultimately, this

mix should be based on your risk tolerance, time

horizon and specific long-term goals.

• Free your investments from “clustering.”

In the investment world, as in many other arenas

of life, you can have “too much of a good

thing.” For example, if you own a particular

investment, such as a stock, that has done well,

you might think that it’s a good idea to own

more of the same type of stock. But when

investing, duplication can be dangerous,

because if a market downturn affects one asset

class particularly hard, and much of your portfo-

lio is tied up in that asset class, you could take a

big hit. Instead of “clustering” your dollars

around a single asset or two, you could diversify

your holdings by owning a mix of stocks,

bonds, government securities and other vehicles.

While diversification can potentially help you

reduce the impact of volatility on your holdings,

a diversified portfolio can’t guarantee a profit or

protect you from loss.

Achieving any type of freedom, in any kind

of endeavor, takes time and effort. That’s cer-

tainly the case with financial freedom— you

will need to consistently make the right moves,

over a period of many years, before you can

finally declare your fiscal independence. But

once you reach that point, you will likely con-

clude that your diligence and dedication were

well worth it.

Munds Park Road Improvement Projects Enter the Home Stretch

Marc F. Della RoccaCommunity Relations ManagerCoconino County Public Works

It’s certainly been a busy construction season in Munds Park. Sincethe middle of April, the County’s contractors have been working dili-gently on the $1.5 million Pinewood Boulevard ReconstructionProject and the $425,000 Munds Wash Bridge Repair Project. Both ofthese Roads Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects are funded byProposition 403, the County’s Road Maintenance Ballot Measure,which was approved by almost 65 percent of County voters lastNovember.

As we enter the home stretch for both of these projects, the Countywants to thank all Munds Park residents for their ongoing patienceduring construction. Although the last couple of months have seen agreat deal of work accomplished, this progress has not been withoutits challenges. First and foremost of these has been the unusually wetweather that most of our region has experienced since these projectsbroke ground. Late May saw snow in many County communities likeMunds Park and June is shaping up to be one of the wettest on recordfor northern Arizona.

Rain and snow in late spring are a mixed blessing, especially whereroad projects are concerned. While wet weather helps to reduce ourannual spring fire danger, it also can delay temperature- and moisture-

sensitive construction activities like subgrade installation and pavingwork. The spring construction season in northern Arizona is alreadyvery short, usually running only from the middle of spring to the startof monsoon season. With such a brief window to work in, it’s not sur-prising that a late winter storm or large rain event can affect even themost comprehensive and well-planned construction schedule. Despite the challenge of inclement weather, the County’s contractorshave managed to keep the Munds Park projects moving forward withonly a minimal loss of work time. As of the time of this writing, thePinewood Boulevard Reconstruction Project’s contractor, FannContracting Inc. has installed Cement Treated Subgrade (CTS) and islaying down the aggregate base along the project’s corridor. The firstlayer of paving is scheduled for July 3 – earlier in July if possible. Thesecond and final layer of paving is slated for the middle of July withsubstantial completion of the project expected shortly thereafter. Fanncurrently plans to have construction demobilization completed by thesecond week of August. For more information about this project,please visit www.coconino.az.gov/PinewoodBlvdCIP.

The Munds Wash Bridge Repair Project is nearing completion evensooner. Both bridge decks have been poured and the project’s contrac-tor, J. Banicki Construction, Inc. plans to have the project completedby the end of June. For more information about this project, pleasevisit www.coconino.az.gov/MundsWashBridgeCIP.

It is important to reiterate that weather will ultimately determine thecompletion dates for these projects. It is equally important to under-stand that the County and its contractors remain committed both toaccommodating the Munds Park Fourth of July Parade and to finish-ing the Pinewood Boulevard Reconstruction and Munds Wash BridgeRepair projects as soon as possible. Again, the County appreciatesyour continued patience while we complete these important projectsfor your community.

The Single Senior Takes a

Tip from Mark Twain

By Annie Weissman

Pine needle pickup time again. Dave’s grandchildren are not coming up to

do pine needle cleanup so I called the guy I used last year. A week and a half

went by and he didn’t call back. Bobbie from Book Club told me of someone

who removed the needles once they were raked, so I decided to do it myself.

The task was made immeasurably easier by the fact there were none on the

roof this year. Still, raking pine needles qualifies as aerobic exercise since it

elevates my heart rate and causes me to perspire for more than twenty consec-

utive minutes.

My granddaughter Abby was visiting. I remembered

the chapter from Tom Sawyer where he gets the neighbor-

hood kids to whitewash the fence for him. I needed the

pine cones picked up before I raked the needles. I sweet-

ened the deal by offering to pay Abby a penny a pinecone.

She used grocery store sacks but she didn’t like that.

We went over to Joan’s house the next morning and Abby

asked Joan if she needed pinecones picked up. Joan said

“yes” and offered the same going rate as me. But Joan had

a green lightweight barrel. Abby found this much more to her liking. Joan

also had small suede gloves so the pinecones didn’t prick her hands. Abby

picked up 300 pine cones and I helped her empty them into Joan’s garbage.

Joan allowed us to take the green barrel home. Abby and I got to work. I

raked while she picked up pinecones.

I had to go to town to get replacement string for my weed eater and tarps to

move the raked pine needles. We worked several days, me raking the needles

and maneuvering the weed eater while she picked up pine cones.

Abby told me she wanted to earn enough money to buy a Pinewood Cookie

(from the Country Club) for herself and her little sister Savannah, who would

be up on the weekend.

When my son, daughter-in-law and Savannah arrived,

Savannah also wanted to help. She swabbed part of my

deck with microfiber cloths to get rid of the yellow pine

pollen but she tired of this.

Meanwhile Abby made her goal. She earned $14.00! She

had picked up 1100 pine cones in my yard. After elimi-

nating all the pine cones, she decided to rake pine nee-

dles. She enlisted her sister and father to help her empty

the tarp of pine needles onto the existing pile.

That afternoon, when thunder and rain made us exit the swimming pool at the

Pinewood Country Club, Abby ordered two Pinewood Cookies (a skillet-

baked chocolate chip cookie with ice cream, syrup and whipped cream) and

shared them with her sister, me and her parents.

Abby earned another two dollars which she promptly gave to her sister. I

am so proud to have a son and daughter-in-law who brought up such fine

human beings.

I still have more pine needles to rake but I will get them done tomorrow so

they can be hauled away.

Munds Park Fourth of July Parade

The Pinewood Property Owners’ Association is sponsoring the parade

for the fifth consecutive year. The parade starts at 10:00am and will

follow the same route including the staging area as last year. There

are a few changes from previous years due to Coconino County trying

to standardize and promote safety in all of the communities hosting

parades. The biggest change is the pre-registration that is required

before the parade. Check the form below and submit in one of the

ways indicated in order to guarantee your entry as there is a county

dictated maximum of 150 licensed only vehicles permitted. Also, the

distribution of candy or other items during the parade is now prohib-

ited but the participants can go to the carnival after the parade and

offer them to the attendees.

Participant staging starts on Meadow View Rd at Walapai Rd and

lines up on Meadow View Rd, Blue Heron Pl, Golden Pond, and

Stringer Rd beginning at 8:00am. The staging area is accessed from

Pinewood Blvd at Half Moon Rd and participants should follow the di-

rections from event staff who will be directing the vehicles so drive-

ways and streets are not blocked. Walkers and bicyclists will stage in

the last condo driveway south on Walapai Rd. Pinewood Blvd and

Walapai Rd will close to traffic at 9:45am so participants should be in

the staging area and in line by 10:00am. All parade viewers should be

at their chosen locations before road closure because access will be

denied. A detour route goes from the intersection of Pinewood Blvd

and Fairway Dr and going via Oak Dr and Crestline Rd back to

Pinewood Blvd. A map follows the rules.

The Grand Marshall this year is Fire Chief John Welsch and there will

be an Army Color Guard as well as a group of Army vehicles with

everything from the USS Arizona replica to a helicopter. A good place

to watch the parade is on Walapai Rd with some parking available in

the residential areas.

Parade Rules:1. Observe the rules or be subject to suspension the following year.

2. Any participation in the parade is strictly at your own risk.

3. No alcohol.

4. Vehicles must be in the staging area by 10:00am.

5. Licensed drivers only.

6. Maintain a safe pace.

7. No candy or other items distributed during the parade.

8. Due to construction, no motorized vehicles may park on

Pinewood Blvd.

9. Vehicles must not stop on parade route or on Fairway Dr.

after leaving parade route.

10. Registration forms must be completed prior to the parade.

or (928) 600-3896 or

Pinewood Fire Department

Dispatch Changes

By John Welsch, Fire ChiefPinewood Fire Department

After 20 years of dispatch service through the SedonaFire District, the Pinewood Fire Department has had toshop for a new emergency dispatch service. Later thisyear, Sedona Alarm Headquarters will be closing itsdoors and moving to the Cottonwood Joint DispatchService located at the City of Cottonwood Police andFire building.

This threatened closure of the Sedona Alarm Room hasoccurred twice before in the past seven years, and wehave looked at optional dispatch coverage both times,but each time, there was a decision to keep the SedonaDispatch Center open and available for our agency.This time, however, the closure is a foregone conclu-sion, and the Pinewood Fire Department took whatwe’ve learned from the previous threats and applied itsuccessfully to the expected changeover.

The new dispatch provider will be one of our emer-gency response partners from Flagstaff, Guardian Med-ical Transport, a branch of Flagstaff Medical Centerand longtime EMS provider for the Flagstaff area.With this change comes other changes as well, bothgood and bad. With some careful attention, our agencywill smooth the transition and, in the long run, be ableto provide an expanded communication package thatwill provide greater safety for our firefighters and bet-ter service to the community and surrounding area.

On the positive side, Pinewood Fire will finally be ableto utilize an updated digital communications networkacquired through a grant 5 years ago that was beyondthe capabilities of the Sedona dispatch system. Thismeans expanded radio communications networks, and

emergency notification protocols for our handheld andportable radios. Additionally, while we have been pay-ing $40,000 per year in dispatch fees, Guardian Med-ical Transport will only bill us on a system usage basisat $10 per call. Since we routinely respond to approxi-mately 550 calls per year, that’s a savings of $34,500annually, and that’s your tax money spent in a moreconstructive fashion for services provided right here inMunds Park. This year alone, we have been able to se-cure a significant tax savings through this change.

However, as in all changes, there are potential draw-backs. First, the Department has had to build newcommunications infrastructure to support the move toGuardian. Second, there will be obstacles to overcomeas the new system comes online and we develop newprotocols for dispatch and 911 usage. The 911 issueswill have to be dealt with as they arise, and the dis-patch and operational protocols will fall into place aswe initiate and refine the communications system. Thecosts associated with equipment purchases and antennalocations have to be dealt with before the system canbecome operational, and since this is occurring at theend of our budget year, we didn’t have funds budgetedfor the change.

By diverting some funds from areas of the currentbudget, we have been able to partially fund some of theunplanned expenses, and were in a quandary over howto complete the changeover. Then, as an answer toprayer, two groups stepped forward and saved the day.A most gracious contribution from our old friends atthe Pinewood Fire Department Auxiliary of $2,200began the completion of one antenna location (that’s alot of cinnamon rolls!), and then an extraordinary do-nation of $30,000 from the Pinewood PropertyOwner’s Association (PPOA) provided us with thefunds to not only complete the first phase of the proj-ect, but also the second phase for communications tothe southern half of the District. When you’re part of acommunity like Munds Park, it’s easy to believe in

Santa Claus in June. What great neighbors we haveand the saying “Pinewood’s Perfect” was never moreaccurately illustrated.Thank you PFD Auxiliary and PPOA!

Another change that will take place in this transitionregards burn permits issued by the Pinewood Fire De-partment. Starting July 1st, all burn permits will be-come inactive and will be replaced by new policy thatallows the burning of uncontained yard material (pineneedles, limbs, etc.) only though our burn barrel pro-gram. In this program, we loan a PFD burn barrel to aresident for 24 hours when they come down and checkit out. You are responsible for emptying your ashesand providing a safe place to utilize the barrel, but ifyou don’t have a way to get the barrel to your house orback, we will (time permitting) deliver and pick up thebarrel after you’ve filled out the equipment loan re-quest. Just stop by the fire station to fill out the paper-work.

As for campfires and barbecue fires (uncontained),there will be a new one-time form to fill out that out-lines the use of campfires on your property ensuringthat it is done in a safe fashion and under the guidelinesof the accepted policy. Remember, this applies ONLYto warming/camp/cooking fires on YOUR property, notin the forest. Coconino County has elected to regulateburning in all unincorporated areas of the county, andwe will fly a red flag from our flagpole on Red Flagdays. You will not call our dispatch service for burnpermit usage after July 1st, they won’t have a cluewhat you’re talking about!

So, at the stroke of midnight on July 1st, the PinewoodFire Department will move its dispatch services toFlagstaff, will change its unit designations from the 80series to the 40 series, and have expanded communica-tions capabilities to better serve Munds Park--- allthrough the caring generosity of the citizens that makeup this wonderful community.


Hallelujah GirlsReviewed by Clyde Morrison

In Hallelujah Girls Pinewood Players has shown again that it is among the

best community theaters in Arizona. I had read this play and had seen it performed

down in Phoenix, but I had never seen it the way Pinewood Players put it on. Wow!

The director, Lynn Rouyer, added a few special touches that helped the audience’s

enjoyment. When scenes changed and the stage crew came onto change the set, the

stage was not dark but strongly lit with even a little impromptu conversation between

two of the crew’s members, Pam Uveges and Sunnie Saperstein. This was much

more enjoyable for the audience than sitting in the dark and trying to see on stage

what the director did not want you to see. Another of the director’s tricks was to

have a window a few feet from the door leading onto the set. This permitted the au-

dience to see who was going to come in next and let us anticipate, worry, or look for-

ward to what was going to happen. Pinewood is fortunate to have some of the finest

directors in the state and Lynn Rouyer is one of these.

The director had an excellent cast of experienced actors and actresses.

Melanie Westmark had the lead as Sugar Lee Thomkins, who was starting a beauty

spa out of an old, former church. She certainly showed us again why she was chosen

as the outstanding actress in a contest of plays by community theaters in the state.

She has continually given us fine performances and this is another excellent job.

Other actresses who beautifully aided Sugar Lee in her attempt to open up a spa

were Carol Jones as the caustic Mavis Flowers, Nancy Del Duca as Nita whose son

was controlling her, and Gina Burton as Carlene Travis whose husbands had died and

had left her falsely known as a “black widow.” Each of these women played her part

as though she was the character and not an actress playing a role.

One of these Hallelujah girls just has to be singled out. Whenever Lori

Prescott, as Crystal Hart, came on stage in one of her many special day costumes,

she brought the house down. When she first came on she was dressed as the Statue

of Liberty with a torch. Then, as the different holidays went by during the year, she

was a witch on Halloween, an elf at Christmas, a geisha girl for Chinese New Year,

Cupid for Valentines Day, etc. For many of these she had an advertising song for the

spa. These were based on Christmas carols with advertising words being substituted

for the original words. I have been told that Lori made her own costumes. What a

talent. She is a very funny girl, and her character

really added to the hilarity of the play. It might be noted here that she and Gina Bur-

ton are both former reader’s theater cabaret performers. This was Lori’s

second time on the main stage and Gina’s first acting on the main stage. Reader’s

Theater is really adding strong performers for the main stage. Congratulations, Gina

and Lori.

Bill Spain, with his rich baritone speaking voice and his “cute” legs made an

ideal foil and love interest to Sugar Lee Thomkins. Last year Bill was excellent in

Cactus Flowers as Igor Sullivan . This year he did another outstanding job a Bobby

Dwayne Dillahunt. This guy is a very good actor no matter what role he is playing.

Another of my favorite characters was Porter Padgett, played by Ron Young.

Porter was a shy mailman who had a lot of trouble professing his love for a girl.

However, when he heard Johnny Cash’s rendition of Ring of Fire several times, he

got his courage up to profess his love for Carlene Travis. He even asked her to

marry him, contingent upon his mother’s approval. Since mom didn’t approve, the

engagement was called off. Ron has a background in theater, and it really comes out

in his characters.

Darvin Bussey had just a small part as the wishy-washy Billy Bob. At the

beginning he was the chauffeur and henchman of the villainess Bunny Sutherland.

But as the play progressed he changed sides and followed Bobby Dwayne and Sugar

Lee Thomkins. Darwin was not a bad person, he just was not very strong willed.

That leads us to another of my favorite characters, the villainess Bunny

Sutherland. Cheryl Parker played this antagonist in a real switch from the parts she

usually plays. She usually plays an attractive, but not very bright girl. In this role,

Cheryl really stretched to be a scheming, back-biting, vicious antagonist to our sweet

and lovable Hallelujah girls who were trying their best to help one another. Bunny

was doing everything she could to rain on their parade, or even, destroy them. She

was just plain nasty and Cheryl was every bit of that. Well done, Cheryl.

As usual, everyone involved in this production did a top notch job. The set

construction crew led by David Westmark and Stewart Lanier came up with a very

realistic beauty spa How many hours must have been spent by these two and their

crew of Al Bagley, Harold Withers, Jim Schurz, Frank Uveges, Bernie Verhoven, and

Melanie Westmark. All of the actors and crews are volunteers so the only pay they

get is a thank you from those of us who enjoy good theater.

So – Thanks from all of us. Another great evening treat.

4th of July Magic

Taylor, Arizona, tradition launches 150-lb anvil into the air

Hundreds of visitors are drawn to the small town of Taylor, Arizona,each year by the tradition of launching a 150-lb blacksmith's anvilinto the air. The patriotic tradition was passed down from Arizona Ter-ritory pioneers. In the late 1800′s, Taylor pioneers, who yearned forthe 4th of July canon firings and fireworks displays of hometownsthey'd left behind, looked for an alternative way to celebrate. Theycame up with the notion of “firing” the blacksmith’s anvil, one that hadbeen used by the Mormon Battalion in 1847.

One anvil is placed upside down on the top of a second anvil withgunpowder positioned between the two. Once the gunpowder is lit,the 150-pound anvil is blown to ‘kingdom come.’ The ignition of theanvil that blasts into the air with the noise of the best of canons. Theanvil firing is so loud, it is said that dogs run away howling andhorses attempt to flee. The percussion can be heard from Snowflake,Arizona, six miles away.

The firing of the anvil awakens the town with a loud BANG at 5 a.m..The awakening call goes on as the anvil is fired in different locationsaround town. The unique tradition, which began with Arizona pio-neers, was revived in 1953 and continues today, drawing people fromthroughout the U.S.A.

The anvil used for Taylor’s unique Independence Day celebrationscan be viewed at the Taylor Museum.

First of all….WOW, May was a huge Gangbuster Month. Everything is selling! A

Million Dollar Home in Foxboro Ranch… Eight cabins above $250K in Munds

Park…all with the streets in war-torn condition. Imagine what it will be like

when the construction is compete? In zone 740/743, Munds Park/Foxboro, the

area had $5335.4 in overall sales which was a 67% increase over last year. Sales

were strong for Flagstaff and the surrounding areas as well and Phoenix is a very

tight market with limited supply and prices going up. Cheery news after the last

eight or so years of “Not So Good Results!” June is shaping up to be another

banner month and it looks like my prediction that this will best real estate years

since 2005 may very well come true!

Birds of Munds Park #64Nests and Brown-Headed Cowbirds

by Margaret Dyekman

Several readers have told me that birds are build-ing nests on their property, and some have sentphotos. Martha on Reindeer has two nest boxesthat are supposed to be for Western Bluebirds butare now occupied by nesting House Wrens. Thisparticular House Wren in Martha’s photo is bring-ing in sticks wider than the width of the hole andsomehow, either by luck or instinct, manages toget enough twigs fitted through the hole and into

the nest box to build her nest. Cindi and Kathy on Turkey Trail also reported theyhave nesting House Wrens in one of their next boxes.

Alan and Cheryl on Wildcat sent me this great photo of eye-catching blue Ameri-can Robin eggs in a nest on their property. At the time of this writing, the chicks

hatched and are growing on a daily basis. The nextphoto they sent me was of open baby bird mouthswaiting for the proverbial worm, and the third photoshowed how they were developing their featherswhile still demanding food every time a parent ap-proached the nest. I think the nest is amazing – allthe twigs tightly woven together to make a little cupperfectly fitted for the eggs.

I also heard from Lu and Don who live on Lake Odell, and they had a complaint –too many Brown-Headed Cowbirds dominating their bird feeder area. Brown-Headed Cowbirds are one bird I haven’t written about before; they have not beenhigh on my list. They have a unique approach to nest building – they don’t buildnests at all and instead lay their eggs in the nests of other birds. They are consid-ered a parasite because they lay an egg in another bird’s nest, usually a smaller birdlike a warbler, sparrow, or vireo, and often they toss out one of the eggs already inthe nest. Brown-Headed Cowbirds hatch faster than the host bird’s eggs, and theirchicks are larger, so they compete with the host bird’s babies and often cause themto starve to death.

In years past, Brown-Headed Cowbirds still had a bal-ance in nature; much of the time they were found fol-lowing herds of buffalo. But then humans madechanges to the landscape by cutting into forests withroads, introducing cattle, and causing deforestation, sothe habitat for Brown-Headed Cowbirds changed andmade it easier for them to find the nests of host birds,and therefore to multiply. Cowbirds can lay 30-40eggs within a breeding season, negatively affecting thenests of that many host birds. The Brown-Headed

Cowbird is considered one of the key reasons for songbird decline in North Amer-ica.

What can we do to help stop this Brown-Headed Cowbird trend? On a big picture,the best approach is landscape management – ensuring large tracts of land areavailable for other native birds and minimizing fragmented landscapes. On an in-dividual scale, you can use tube feeders with smaller perches and no catch basin atthe bottom. Don’t use tray feeders, and avoid sunflower seeds and cracked corn.At our home in Munds Park at the edge of Munds Canyon, I have a tray feeder(frequented by Band-Tailed Pigeons) and a sunflower feeder, used by all types ofbirds, but never frequented by Brown-Headed Cowbirds because our home is inthe woods, not in an open area. At Lake Odell, however, the Brown-Headed Cow-birds stay in flocks with Red-Winged Blackbirds and Brewer’s Blackbirds, so theywill be harder to control. Sticking with a nyger seed feeder, suet feeder, and apeanut feeder is probably the best way to still attract birds and discourage Brown-Headed Cowbirds. I also have read that Brown-Headed Cowbirds do not favorsafflower seeds, which might be good to try as an alternative to sunflower seeds.

Munds Park, AZ 86017As I complete yet another book with a World War II setting, Ican’t help but wonder how bare our literature shelves would bewithout the countless stories of heroism, bravery and sacrificeof those who lived at that time, both in our country and abroad.Although most of the books I read are fiction, I am certain thestories are based on truths that have been passed down throughthe generations.

I highly recommend All The light We Cannot See by AnthonyDoerr if you want to be transported to a time and place in his-

tory through excellent descriptive writing and a few characters you wish you had knownin real life. Evidently I am not alone as this book received the Pulitzer Prize for Fictionin 2015.

Instead of the many Holocaust stories, following persecuted Jews to the horrors ofAuschwitz, Doerr takes a unique approach, as he weaves together the stories of two un-likely heroes of the time--a blind French girl, Marie-Laure, and a German orphan,Werner. Their paths collide in occupied France as they try to survive the devastations andhorrors of World War II.

Marie-Laure’s father works at the Museum of Natural History in Paris where he is themaster of a thousand locks. When his daughter goes blind at the age of six, he teachesher self-reliance in many ways. For example, he builds a perfect miniature of their neigh-borhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way from home to the Mu-seum. Their loving relationship will touch your heart and then break it when they areseparated, shortly after her twelfth birthday, as the Nazi’s occupy Paris. Her birthday giftfrom her father that year was a Braille edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under theSea by Jules Verne which becomes her most prized possession. When her father is takenaway, Mari-Laure finds safety in the walled citadel of Saint-Malo where her reclusivegreat-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. One of the most touching scenes in the bookis the first time she experiences the rush of the sea on her bare feet. And to add a touch ofmystery, among the few possessions she was able to take with her just might be the mu-seum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

In the New York Times Sunday Book Review, critic Vollman says “Marie-Laure is an ex-quisitely realized creation….her self-reliant intelligence, nurtured by her father, allowsher to carry on bravely…each time Madame Ruelle at the bakery sells her another ordi-nary loaf with a slip of coded numbers inside for her great-uncle to transmit on illegalradio, the girl calmly does her duty.”

We first meet the young Werner in a German orphanage with little sister, Jetta, who he isdevoted to. They become enchanted by a crude radio they find when they discover a cop-per wire that allows them to tune into foreign broadcasts. “After prayers and lights out,Jetta sneaks up to her brother’s dorm where they lie hip-to-hip, listening till midnight, til1, till 2.”

Werner, through his early fascination with the radio, becomes a child engineering prodigyat building and repairing these crucial new instruments. This talent earns him a place at abrutal academy for Hitler Youth, yet allows him to escape his destiny of the coal mineswhich killed his father. However, he pays a dear price for this trade-off. Like Marie-Laure, he is now separated from the one person he loves, sister, Jutte. We follow Wernerthrough the ravages of the war and when he is assigned to track the resistance movement,he makes his way eventually into Saint-Malo where his story and Marie-Laure’s con-verge.

Ten years in the making, Doerr says, “Writing the book was a huge puzzle. I felt like Iwas building a big model house. I had, I think 187 chapters and each one alternates inpoint of view or time.” Don’t let the number of chapters scare you off. The chapters areshort and the narrative is easy to follow as we alternate from Marie-Laure to Werner.

Besides a mesmerizing tale, the writing itself is filled with exquisite physical details andstunning metaphors. And because Marie-Laure is blind, we experience her life throughall the other senses she must employ. We smell, taste, touch and hear the world throughher.

Like any story of World War there are villainous and evil characters, yet in All The LightWe Cannot See, Doerr manages to illustrate through these two young characters, andagainst all odds, the ways people try to be good to one another.

It’s hard to believe that June is more than halfway over. Summer

ing together nicely under the oversight of Kathy Vogt, the tournament

chairperson. If you haven’t signed up yet, do so ASAP. The cutoff is June

Travel continued from page 4

Three spacious guest suites are named for previous ranch owners: Wynecoop,

Merritt and Girdner -- those horsemen, who started their cattle drives here men-

tioned previously. Wynecoop decorated in wine country motif accommodates

two couples traveling together with two large bedrooms, two baths and a great

room with 16 foot vaulted ceilings. All suites include fully equipped kitchens, air

conditioning and pond views. I’m in the Girdner Trails End Suite decorated to

celebrate the cowboy and ranching life.

After locating my terry spa robe in one of the closets and reconnoitering the Spa

Cabin, I’m off to Harry’s Hideaway for dinner. Following a renowned career in

Chicago, Chef Harry Olson and wife Adele escaped to bring all their success to

Harry’s Hideaway in Cornville. Only minutes from Page Springs, the local’s fa-

vorite offers affordably priced gourmet meals presented by expert servers. I ask

Adele to select a wine pairing for the smoked duck, brie and arugula grilled

pizza. She chooses Page Springs Cellars Vino de la Familia, and I am very

pleased. My husband, who has just driven in for this special feast, gobbles the

Horseradish Encrusted Salmon, asparagus and scalloped potatoes. Adele whis-

pers to me that the cozy restaurant will soon be open seven days. The villagers

cheer.

The next morning, I head for Javelina Leap Vineyard and Winery, one of Ari-

zona’s first wineries. Just across the road from Page Springs Fish Hatchery, sad-

dled horses tied to hitching posts under shady trees, enliven the picturesque

vineyard. Passionate Rod Snapp greets me enthusiastically. We open a bottle of

the 2011 Zinfandel, just awarded Judges Favorite Zinfandel by Arizona Wine

Growers Association.

“We’ve come light years since Cynthia joined us,” says Snapp of wife Cynthia,

who took over winemaking three years ago. To keep up with the popularity,

Snapp added an Arizona room and private garden behind the welcoming tasting

room. Now visitors sit down to relax with small plates created to compliment

wine tastings. I enjoy Chef Don Walker’s Turkey Dijon pimento slider served

with chilled beet chipotle soup as we chat about the new facilities and upcoming

expansion into white wine production.

Later at Oak Creek Vineyards and Winery, I sample Arizona whites and reds in

an outdoor, country setting evocative of the local ranching heritage. As romantic

white curtains billow in the wind, I sit in a cool, wicker chair and relish splendid

cheese and views of some of the 4,000 vines planted in the volcanically enriched

soil. Picnic tables make this a special place to bring lunch or put together nosh-

ings at the deli that is complete with foodie cheeses, salami, and olives from

around the world. As for my racing past, buy me a glass of Arizona wine and I’ll

tell you about the day this lady driver beat Mario Andretti.

A Piece of Munds Park Culture Has Been O bliterated

I have always treasured the hike up Crystal Point. At the very top were a picnic table and benches, and a water bowl for dogs, all carried upby MUTS, the Munds Park Trail Stewards. Whimsical souls had contributed an electrical outlet with a power cord that disappeared into theearth; a cell phone charger plugged in as a ‘gotcha’ to punk first time visitors. Three small metal boxes sat on the table, filled with spiralnotebooks and pens and pencils, an invitation to rest and reflect.

The notebooks were a memoir of so many people enjoying this special place. The entries included prayers of gratitude, children’s excite-ment about climbing a “mountain”, family and friends celebrating reunions, Coach Whisenhunt’s thoughts on almost winning the SuperBowl. They were a history of many of us who have been touched by Munds Park.

Gone. Saturday morning a ranger decided they were trash, that similar to geocaching encouraged people to abuse the environment. Another hiker rescued the notebooks.

C’mon! Are you kidding me? Crystal Point is considered by many a spiritual place, and respected as such. Far from being trash and doingharm, the notebooks encourage our sense of community.

Bring them back to Crystal Point.

The “FIT BIT” is a wearable sensor that has sparked a 300 million dol-

lar industry. It was invented in 2008 and is deceptively simple. It is about

2 inches long and you can wear it on your wrist or clip it on to your waist-

band. It has a tiny computer that calculates the distance you have walked

or run in one day, the calories burned, the number of steps you have taken

and the time of day. It automatically resets itself every 24 hours. Some call

it a 21st century pedometer on steroids! I was getting bored in my walking

and hiking routine because I never really knew how far I walked in a day.

I need the instant feedback that a FIT BIT gives, to keep me on track with

my program. This is how it works: The long term goal of users of the de-

vice is 10,000 steps or about 5 miles per day. The American Heart Associ-

ation recommends that we walk 3-5 miles per day to prevent heart disease

and be at optimal health.

The Fit Bit is like having a friend around who will prod you into getting

all of your steps in for the day. If it is 5 pm and my FIT BIT says 6,000

steps, I know I need to get out there and do some more walking. It keeps

my fitness level front and center so that I make fitness a priority in my

life. It gives me feedback any time of the day or night. I just tap it lightly

with one finger and all of the numbers come up to remind me how close I

am to my daily goal of 10,000 steps! Every single step counts as far as the

FIT BIT is concerned. Whether you are walking on the golf course,

around the house, at the grocery store or on the hills of Munds Park, all of

those steps go towards your

goal! This device reminds

me to park my car far away

from my destination to help

me get a few more steps.

Climbing stairs burns more

calories and that is noted by

the FIT BIT too!

I purchased the cheapest FIT BIT they make, for 60 dollars. You can get

one at Target or online through Amazon. If you ever talk to a health care

professional they will tell you, “Your health is all you have that really

matters”. If you have not been walking regularly, take it slowly and gradu-

ally build up your endurance. Your goal may be 5000 steps per day. That

is OK! It may take you one month to get to 10,000 steps. The FIT BIT

will help you to stay motivated to keep going forward towards your fitness

goals. At the end of every day when you take it off you have the fitness

facts you need. It is your personal trainer who is with you every step of

the way!

You can reach me at [email protected] I welcome your com-

ments and questions.

“

Enthusiastic” is a good adjective to describe the new chef at PinewoodCountry Club and the team complied under the leadership helm of MaryHaughian, the club’s new General Manager. A fresh, positive outlookbacked up by almost all new personnel has brought life back to the CountryClub’s venerable dining rooms. Not to mention the food; tasty, hot, varied,scrumptious and the service tremendously improved and done with a smile.This is a very, very good way to start the season and most certainly a sign ofgood things to come.Chef Thomas wants to bring his own flair to the club’s menu over the nextfew months but is pleased with the dishes offered on the club menu at pres-ent. His favorites include the Tilapia Fish, Meatloaf, Various Steak Offerings,Shrimp Skewers and, of course, the Fried Chicken. The menu has ex-panded to include a variety of appetizers, including Ahi Tuna and Calamari.Numerous salad options as well as an updated wine list with a variety of op-tions for the wine lovers is also a nice addition to the menu. Chef Thomasstresses how important he feels it is to keep the menu fresh, and free of pre-viously frozen food selections the club offered previously.

A family man, Thomas and is wife Jannie, have three sons; Christian Ryan,20, is serving in the marine corp stationed out of Twenty-Nine Palms, CA.,but serving returning tour to Iraq. Kyle, 18, will be attending CoconinoCounty community College this fall and would like to pursue some kind of in-ternship with the Pinewood Fire department to further explore his interest inFire Sciences. The youngest, Andre, 13, will be starting High School atFlagstaff High where he intends to continue to pursue wrestling. The familyhas already fallen in love with Munds Park and has leased a chalet stylecabin for the next year while they search for a permanent home to buy in thePark.


Horse Tank and Camillo Fires Benefit Forest

Flagstaff, Ariz., June 18, 2015, For Immediate Release —The lightning-caused Horse Tank and Camillo Fires continueto burn in a beneficial manner by restoring the forest and re-ducing the risk of severe fire. Fire Managers and crews aremaking calculated decisions on how to use these wildfires to

restore the forest. Important tactics include allowing the fires to consumehazardous fuels with overall low severity and conducting burnout operationsto dictate where the fire can move and when. Both fires are burning acrossthe forest floor reducing fuel accumulations and promoting forest health.

HORSE TANK FIRE OVERVIEWYesterday: Crews performed burnout operations throughout the afternoon tosolidify western boundaries.

Today: Fire activity and smoke will be lower today, as it continues to smolderand creep in interior pockets of unburned fuels.

Smoke: Visible from Highways 260 and 87, I-17, Payson, Pine, Strawberry,Blue Ridge and the Verde Valley. There was an increase in smoke yesterdaydue to continued burnout operations, which was normal and expected.Smoke is anticipated to be lighter most of the day today.

Closures: Forest Roads 9366R, 9384A, 9381, 609 and a portion of 9361A.

Acres Treated: 1,518 acres (management area is approximately 5,000acres)Start Date: June 6, 2015

Location: Six miles north of Strawberry, south of Highway 260 near the junc-tion with Hwy 87

CAMILLO FIRE OVERVIEWYesterday: Personnel brought fire south with low severity fire ignitions alongthe KV high voltage WAPA power lines. This strategy reintroduces fire intothe ecosystem while adding future protection to these crucial KV lines.

Today: Crews continue conducting burnout operations; this tactic allows fire

managers to determine how and where the fire moves through the forest.Crews are preparing for future ignitions along Forest Highway 3 from FR 125south to FR 124, and are working closely with Forest Service specialists toprotect historical sites in the area.

MUNDS PARK COMMUNITY CHURCH UPDATE

by Mac Jettwww.mpcchurch.com

THE BIBLE...GOD INSPIRED OR

JUST HISTORY?

If you should ever be challenged bysomeone who claims that the Biblewasn't inspired by God “God-breathed” (2nd Timothy 3:16) here's aresponse that might work for you as ithas for me. Simply refer them to Job38:31 in which God says to Job: “Can

you bind the beautiful Pleiades, Can

you loose the cords of Orion?”

Here's why this verse is so incredible.The Pleiades is a bound star cluster.This means that gravity is so strongthere, that the Pleiades will remain asit was and is today, forever...it's boundtogether by gravity. The belt of Orionis an unbound cluster which meansthat those three stars will eventuallyseparate.

God is asking Job if he can do whatHe (God) did. It's estimated that Jobwas written around 1500 B.C. Guesswhat—there were no astrophysicists3500 years ago. Galileo didn't evenaim a telescope skyward until theearly 1600's A.D. No human couldpossibly have known about gravita-tional forces so strong that they couldhold star clusters together...or not.Only God could know. There are

other verses in Job that are just astelling...it's a fascinating book...andone that deserves your attention.

By the way, since the Old Testamentwas basically written in Hebrew, inthe Hebrew version of the Old Testa-ment Pleiades is known as “Kima”and Orion’s Belt as “Kesil.”

IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT

SUMMER

Returning friends and neighbors sig-nal the beginning of all of the summeractivities at MPCC. Here are a few ofthem...and when they meet:

Saturday Evening Service—Beginson Saturday, July 11th at 6:30pm.This service will be more contempo-rary than our traditional Sundaymorning service, but will feature thesame sermon, presented by PastorSteve, as the Sunday morning service.

Sam Rotman Concert July 12th.

Mr. Rotman is a renowned interna-tional concert pianist who has per-formed over 2700 concerts in 60countries. He presently performs ap-proximately 110 concerts in 10 coun-tries each year, and on Sunday

evening, July 12th, at 6pm he will behere at MPCC. If you like wonderfulmusic, presented by a Christian show-man, plan on attending this free con-cert.

Women's Bible Study—Tuesdays at10am at the church.

Men's Bible Study—Tuesdays at7pm at the church.

Ladies Fellowship—meets on thethird Saturday each month at 10:00amat the church.

Ladies circle this date and time—Saturday, July 25th at 2pm. It's a veryspecial event and it's going to befun...guaranteed! More later.

Pastor Steve and the Board of Eldershave big plans for summer activitiesthis year...yes, it will be a busy, busysummer at MPCC.

WHO ARE WE?

We are a non-denominational church,which simply means that regardless ofyour denominational background (orlack of same) you are welcome to at-tend and worship with us Sundaymornings at 10:30am.
