Tips for Solo

Globetrotting

By Stacey “Vagabonding Lulu” Wittig

Travel Writer

Many women travel alonesuccessfully. Especially those

who have losttheir husbands,are retired, orlike me can’t prytheir hubbiesaway from thehome front.Other ladies areterrified justthinking abouttraveling soloand so miss thedesires of theirhearts. Wherever

you are on this spectrum, one of the following five tips issure to grease the wheels on your travel buggy:

1. If you are unsure of traveling by yourself, book a

group adventure with companies such as Road Scholar,formerly known as Elder Hostel. Promoting lifelong learn-ing, their trips to faraway lands -- or around the Southwestfor birding or wine tasting -- offer chances to meet others ofsimilar interests. As I told my parents when I headed offsolo to Spain for the first time, “Don’t worry. I’ll be withmy friends – I just haven’t met them yet.”

2. Keep your money safe. I am always surprised whenwell-traveled girlfriends return from trips and announce thatALL their money and credit cards were stolen. Then they

begin the saga of how difficult it was to replace passports,get cash and reissue credit cards. This won’t happen to youwith a system I call “redundant security.”

Divide your credit cards and cash into three piles. To thefirst pile, add a copy of your passport and stash it inside acotton money belt. As your least accessible stash, it’s theplace for larger bills and your backup credit card. Put thesecond pile into a passport-sized wallet that hangs aroundyour neck and goes in your handbag as a wallet when youdon’t want to look so geeky.

I find that the neck wallet works well in airports, trainstations and ferry ports when I need both hands for baggagebut also need access to travel docs at a moment’s notice.The second stash is most accessible, so keep only one-day’ssupply of small bills and your passport here. The third pilegoes into an envelope with driver’s license and second copyof my passport. I hide the envelope inside my carry-on bag(not my handbag) in a zippered compartment.

When checked into hotel rooms or cruise ship cabins,leave the waist wallet locked in the safe. Then if someonegrabs your handbag, the perp gets only one-third of yourloot. If they make offwith the pile thatincludes your passport,you have copies to taketo the Embassy.

3. Before leaving

home, make two

copies of both sides of

each credit card.Credit cards have the“Lost or Stolen” phonenumber right on them, so if any card is stolen, you canaccess that information along with credit card numbers fromyour copies. I kept the copies hidden in separate bags on my

trip to Kerala,India.

4 .Lisa

Cappabianca,

owner of

Cappabianca

Travel, recom-

mends escorted

tours for singletravelers goingoverseas. “Youget to shareyour experi-ences with other people. …cruises are a good fit for singlesbecause they are safe and activities are planned.”

5. When on tours or cruises where your address

changes daily, put your itinerary in your luggage tags.That way, if luggage is lost, the airline can deliver it to theappropriate address. I learned this one when my luggagefollowed me around the Mediterranean during a 12-daycruise. Without the itinerary, my bags didn’t catch up withme until day seven.

So girls, get started today by filling out that passportapplication and making your bucket list.

by Jan Toth LINELINE

Since I was on the fire department, I’ve had

an interest in those roadside memorials. It started

with the ones that went up along Interstate 17 in

our ambulance area. Obviously when I was

responding to calls, I was on some of the calls

that spawned many of those memorials, so they

had more of a meaning. In all my travels

between Munds Park and Phoenix and on to

Puerto Penasco I’ve seen a plethora of memori-

als along the side of the road. Some are plain

white crosses while others are more elaborate

containing shrines and mementos. In one spot

south of Munds Park, a red guitar was placed on

the hill where a van of kids had crashed. It was

taken down a few months later. The first one I

remember was in 1983 or 1984 at approximately

Mile post 313-314 Northbound. It was for a 30-

something trucker that rolled his semi-truck

there. A wreath appeared on a tree trunk right

over an area that the bark was scrapped off,

probably by the truck in the accident. I saw it

there every trip for at least fifteen to twenty

years; it was new each year. North of Kelly

Canyon there were three crosses on the north-

bound side for three Flagstaff ladies who died

about ½ mile south of there on an icy winter

night. There were many other cars involved in

that accident. Those crosses were also taken care

of for over twenty years until the last few years,

and now they are just thin pieces of metal stand-

ing as a

reminder, to

me, that they

existed and

died. The mark-

ers were first

seen in the

southwest and

often come

from the Spanish and Mexican culture. Now they

are all across these United States.

Did you know Arizona Highway Patrol used

to post crosses at the scene of fatal accidents

with “Drive Safely” signs in the 50’s and 60’s.

That practice has since been discontinued. As

with most states, Arizona neither encourages

roadside memorials nor removes them. They

realize that this practice can give family and

friends some closure when a loved one dies sud-

denly and unexpectedly. They ask they be kept

30’ off the roadway as to not inhibit road mainte-

nance. Many other states do not allow roadside

memorials, but often do nothing about the ones

that appear. Some states even go so far as to

move them out of the way of roadway mainte-

nance. Some of the memorials are simple cross-

es but some can be

quite elaborate. There

are a couple on high-

way 85 toward

Mexico that is just

that.

There has also been

a lot of controversy

about the roadside

memorials as a violation of Church and State. I

find this ridiculous. In the first place, the State is

not placing these memorials and secondly they

have two fold meanings… one = they recognize

the lost life of someone who was loved and two

– they remind

drivers of the

need for driving

safety… at least

to me that’s what

it means.

I think we all

know drunk or

impaired driving is a hazard and illegal, but I

think distracted driving is one of the biggest rea-

sons for accidents. Distracted driving is not just

texting (which is also illegal) but daydreaming;

hunting for something in pockets, purses, cars

seats; turning to talk to passengers; eating (one I

violate too often); and worst of all, driving when

you are tired. Don’t become a spot for a roadside

memorial. Pay attention to the road and the vehi-

cles around you.

The Munds Park Neighborhood Watch (MPNW) group met at 6:30pm on

Wednesday, 2/18, at the Pinewood Fire Station for its quarterly meeting. The

Coconino County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) was going to be represented but last

minute events prevented Sheriff Pribil, Sgt. John Jamison, and Gerry Blair, the

Community Programs Planning Manager, from attending. Some current information

regarding traffic in the park was discussed and the group is looking forward to having

Elano Sales, our community officer, return from his leave at the end of the month.

Pinewood Fire Department (PFD) Chief, John Welsch, covered some of the pro-

jects and suggestions that the PFD has had over recent times including the smoke

alarm checking and replacement. Always on the top of the list is caution and proper

maintenance of the fire places and stoves regarding cleaning the chimneys; equipment

is available at PFD. John then spoke on the green and white reflective numbers for

your homes that are available for free at the fire station. Getting these very visible

numbers mounted on the front of your homes so that the fire department or CCSO

officers can locate your place at night without delay could mean the difference of you

surviving or not. If you need assistance with getting the numbers and mounting them,

call the fire department and they will see that volunteers will help you.

As of 3/7, 2,826 of the 2,890 residences have registered with MPNW which is

98%. With over 150 home sales this year, it has been an active process to register the

new owners. The massive update of almost 1300 changes to the database has been

completed and new listings have been distributed to all full time captains. The condo

owners have requested to be included in MPNW and that represents another 110

addresses to be added. Of the 95 captain positions currently part of the infrastructure,

17 are filled with summer only residents and eight are unfilled. All captains were

asked to look at the homes in each of their areas and provide a list of those houses

without the green and white reflective address numbers. This information will be

used to first give the PFD, who has the numbers and mounting pads in the facility, the

quantity of numbers that will be needed and second to contact the owners regarding

the location for the numbers on their house

Our Coconino County District Three Supervisor, Matt Ryan, spoke about the

repaving project and, after fielding a few questions from the audience, introduced the

Deputy Director from Public Works, Lucinda Andreani. She had a power point pre-

sentation and talked about the resulting projects on the table due to the passage of

Proposition 403. Most important for Munds Park is the resurfacing of Pinewood

Blvd and the rebuilding of the pavement on the bridge over Munds Creek. Some of

her staff and engineers on the project were prepared with drawings and some com-

mentary on the construction bidding and some of the process. The bids to the con-

struction companies will be done the first of April with work starting on April 15;

completion will be done by June 30.

The next MPNW meeting will be on May 20th at 6:30pm at the PFD and will

occur every three months on the third Wednesday of the month. Invited guests

include the CCSO with Sheriff Bill Pribil, Patrol Lt. Brian Tozer, Community Officer

Elano Sales, and Gerry Blair, the Community Programs Planning Manager. Also

invited are the PFD Chief John Welsch, Coconino National Forest Public Affairs

Specialist Brienne Magee, and from Coconino County, Public Works Community

Relations Manager Marc Della Rocca and District Three Supervisor Matt Ryan.

Remember when your Mother told you toeat your vegetables? Or better yet, doyou remember telling your children, toeat their vegetables because veggies weregood for them. Good advice for bothgenerations. Vegetables are good for youfor many reasons, low in calories, high infiber, has good vitamins and minerals etc,etc. You have heard all this before, soI’m not going into that subject. The rea-son you don’t eat vegetables is probablybecause you don’t like them. They aredull, boring and tastes flat. No wondermany people admit, the only vegetablethey eat is the lettuce and tomato on ahamburger and they usually take that offas soon as possible.

This month we are going to talk aboutmaking vegetables taste good. Now thebig problem is, to get something thattastes good it takes time and effort. Ifyou just warm up some frozen corn orbeans and toss in butter, you’re not goingto be named cook of the week, but it’sfast. Years ago there was always one ortwo cooks in the kitchen (Grandma livedwith you) so there was always somebodyto chop, peel and dice. Well it still takestime to chop, peel and dice but you prob-ably don’t want Grandma to live with youand I sure don’t want to be the Grandmathat lives with kids.

I’ve come up with some really tasty veg-etable recipes I think you will enjoy. Icook them in my kitchen and serve themto friends and family. Now, I’m notgoing out on a limb and say my fourGrandsons like roasted vegetables butthey will eat them. Under duress? Wellmaybe.

The following is an all purpose roastedvegetable recipe. You can use almost anyveggie you have on hand. However, keepin mind most of the veggies in this recipeare root vegetables and are the same den-sity which means they will be cooked atapproximately the same time. If you aregoing to serve this dish for a specialevent dinner, cook it the day ahead andjust warm it up.

Roasted Root Vegetables1 small butternut squash, peeled andcubed2 red peppers, seeded and diced1 sweet potato, peeled and diced3 Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed¼ cup olive oil2 tablespoons balsamic vinegarSalt and pepperA couple tablespoon fresh herbs. Thyme,dill, rosemary anything you may have.

Preheat oven to 475.*** In a large bowladd the oil, vinegar, and spices and mixwell. Add the vegetables and toss to coatevenly. Spread evenly on a roasting pan.I usually use a cookie sheet that has sides(I think the official name is a jelly roll

pan) in a single layer. You may need touse two roasting pans. Roast for 35-40minutes and stir a few times. Serve hot.***The reason for the hot oven is tocaramelize the natural sugars in the veg-gies giving a better flavor.

America loves potatoes and some of uslove them more than others. I like thisrecipe because it’s simple, only 4 ingredi-ents, but it works. It seems so simple tocut up some potatoes and toss them in theoven with some oil, so why do I need arecipe? Because I found sometimes theywere good and sometimes they weren’t.So now I use this recipe and have consis-tency. The red pepper adds color and alittle kick, but it’s your call.

Oven-roasted Red Potatoes

1 (1 ounce) envelope of onion soup mix1/3 cup olive oil2 pounds red potatoes1 red pepper, seeded and diced, optionalPreheat oven to 450 degreesAfter washing the potatoes make sureyou dry them well. The drier at this pointthe crisper they will be when you servethem. In a large plastic bag, combine thesoup mix, oil, potatoes and red pepper.Shake until potatoes and pepper are wellcoated. Pour the potatoes/pepper onto aroasting pan (cookie sheet is good) in asingle layer and bake for 40-45 minutes,stirring occasionally. Turn the oven offand let the potatoes sit in the coolingoven for 15 minutes while you put thefinishing touches on the rest of the meal.I have found this last 15 minutes makes agood side dish even better, so don’t skipit.

Surprise surprise, here is a good veg-etable side dish that doesn’t require anychopping, peeling and dicing. The addi-tional bonus for this recipe is kids evenlike it and it’s made in the crock-pot.

Krazy Karrots

1 (16 ounce) package of baby carrots¼ cup butter, melted2/3 cup brown sugar1 (1 ounce) packet ranch dressing mix¼ cup waterIn your crock-pot combine carrots, melt-ed butter, brown sugar and dressing mixand mix well. Add the water and blend.Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.You can stir it occasionally if you arehome, if not, it still turns out well.

MONTH IN REVIEW FOR NORTHERN ARIZONA FOR FEBRUARY 2015

...TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION OVERVIEW...

The first three weeks of February were the warmest on record for most of north-ern Arizona as a strong high pressure ridge dominated the weather pattern. Manydaily high temperature records were set. No precipitation fell from February 1stthrough 21st across the region. Beginning on February 22nd, a wet and stormyperiod began which lasted through the end of the month, bringing locations fromFlagstaff into northeast Arizona near to above normal monthly precipitationamounts. Areas south and west of Flagstaff finished the month with below nor-mal precipitation. Temperatures also cooled down to near normal from the 22ndthrough 28th, but with such warm conditions earlier in the month, February 2015will go down as the warmest on record for much of the region.

Single Seniors

The Single Senior Works Overtime

By Annie Weissman

I took a temporary full time job where I

supervised student assessments that ran

from November to March 6. The first week

was training in LA. I was on overload and

information I was supposed to absorb didn’t

make it into long term memory. I was wor-

ried. Did this mark a mental decline that had

started a while ago and I hadn’t noticed?

I had manuals to study, three thick ones. I

couldn’t get myself to do it. Not much else

was required for the first few weeks. In

December I was to call the clients. Some of

the calls went well, others didn’t. My level

of anxiety was raised but I relaxed during a

two week holiday hiatus.

In January I sent out the required emails

and was almost feeling comfortable. Then

the equipment arrived. The three cases each

weighed 46 pounds. I know. I put them on

a scale.

The work load exploded the next week. At

the same time the website we and our

clients had to access kept crashing. This

infuriated the clients, many of whom who

did not want to be bothered with the study

to begin with. I had to reschedule planning

calls, do the clients’ work as well as my

own, and hope that the supplies for the pro-

ject would arrive in time. I was feeling less

competent by the day. A few planning calls

went well, but most didn’t. I didn’t know

what I didn’t know. The plates were all up

in the air and crashed down all at one time.

Since I’m single, I had no one to help me

lift the cases into the car or take them out

when I got home. I twisted the wrong way

the first day and my back complained. I also

had to hoist them onto counters to charge

the nine tablets, unwinding the charger

wires at night and plugging them in and

winding them up in the morning. I had to

lift these cases into my Honda Civic along

with large boxes. When we started the field-

work I drove to the site as if I were in a

nightmare at a package delivery firm.

The good part was the team I had assem-

bled. Two women were friends whom I had

supervised when I was in the school system

years ago. Marlene took charge of the

ancillary equipment and I didn’t have to

think about it. Sharon, with her background

in counseling, took care of any kiddos who

were having problems. Audra was new to

me. She was a bit shy in the beginning but

she joined in the fun. We did a lot of joking

around to dispel our frustrations. The team

was flexible, effective, and worked well

together. That was my salvation the first

week the project was activated.

This was a technology based assignment

with tablets and everything that could go

wrong did. I was a first name basis with the

people on the national HELP desk. Tablets

froze, wouldn’t take the passwords, people

started without listening to the directions,

and data was lost because the monitoring

laptop did not correctly show which tablets

were disconnected from the network. At the

fourth site in the first week a tablet froze

and when my team tried to reboot, it took

the client back to the beginning instead of

where he left off. I was on the phone with

the HELP desk and totally frustrated. I told

the person I had to hang up because I didn’t

want to cry on the phone. I took a short

walk in the hallway to get myself together.

I’ve always felt competent in my working

life. After a while on a job, I was a high

achiever whether it was as a teacher, public

librarian, storyteller, school librarian, non-

fiction writer, college teacher or principal.

My only crisis of confidence is as a fiction

writer. I was flummoxed at my inability to

solve the technical problems and grasp all

of my duties. I called my boss while driving

home the day everything went wrong. She

convinced me that it wasn’t my fault.

I had a cohort with whom I could be

honest. I called her, and lo and behold, she

was feeling the same way. I decided to relax

and give myself a break. The job would end

in a month. The most fun was working with

my team. Building an espirt de corps is my

forte. I knew where every El Pollo Loco in

the Valley is located and I got them hooked

on that juicy chicken.

Problems, new and old, continued. Some

were beyond my control and others came

from mistakes I made. The world did not

fall apart.

I was jubilant the day I shipped the cases,

my computer, printer, and all the boxes

back to the company. My boss wrote a

grand evaluation of my performance.

I proved to myself I could learn new and

complex skills. I was able to handle the

cases even though I’m only a weekend work

out person. I have the stamina for a job that

was seventy hours some weeks. I feel ter-

rific but I’m ecstatic it’s over.

Have you noticed lately?

SO MANY OF OUR LISTED PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN SOLDthat we are running out of properties to show and sell. Years ago we

could and would get on the telephone with an Owner to discuss all thequalities and values of their property and the possibility of putting it onthe market for them. However, over the years it became illegal through

the Arizona Real Estate Department to "solicit" listings.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING SELLING YOUR PROPERTYPLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CALL US FOR A FREE

MARKET ANALYSIS. It will be based on "like" properties sold overthe last six months as reported by the Northern Arizona Multiple ListingService. Naturally, square footage comes into play. From that point onlot size; a garage; remodeling; heating; a fireplace and/or any number of

items are considered.

We would love to help you sell your property with Fairness, Honesty,Integrity AND Hard Work.

Your listing will, of course, go into the MLS, Realtor.com, Zillow andour own website: www.pinewoodrealty.com.

Join Dawn Lehman of Provident Partners Realty at her first

“Real Estate Mapping Activity” to creatively determine…and

possibly discover…what you really want and need regarding the

sale or purchase of your home!

The Real Estate Mapping activity will help you articulate the how,

what, why, when, and where associated with buying and selling

and help you identify and creatively address your wants and

needs. Using large, blank paper and colored pencils/markers, you

will create your own real estate map to visually organize informa-

tion and your thoughts and ideas regarding the sale or purchase

of your home. Dawn Lehman will guide you through the activity

and provide examples of real estate mapping techniques.

What will you get from the Real Estate Mapping activity?

A comprehensive, colorful map articulating your preferred buy-

ing and selling strategies.

What is a Mind Map?

Mind maps have been used since the 3rd century, and were first

popularized by a British psychology author and host of a BBC TV

series called, “Use Your Head.” Host Tony Buzan promoted his

concept of a radial tree, diagramming key words and phrases in a

colorful, radiant, tree-like structure. These pictorial methods have

a long history in learning, brainstorming, memory, visual thinking,

and problem solving. They often are used as planning sessions for

individuals and groups.

Your Real Estate Mapping facilitator:

Dawn Lehman, a business anthropologist and Realtor® at

Provident Partners Realty, has conducted mind mapping activities

at professional conferences, in classrooms, and in community

spaces with adults of all ages for the past 20 years. She developed

the Real Estate Mapping© activity.

ACTIVITY DATES: Saturday, April 25: 1:00-3:00

and Sunday, April 26: 1:00-3:00

Please RSVP to Dawn.Lehman@ProvidentNAZ to register for this

19 Pinewood NewsMarch 16, 2015

We’ve just about arrived at spring,the time when many people spruce uptheir homes, yards and other parts of theirsurroundings. This year, why not extendthat practice a little further and give yourfinancial and investment environment agood “spring cleaning”?Here are a few suggestions for doingjust that:

• Reduce duplication. If you’ve everworked to “de-clutter” your home, youmay have discovered a lot of extraneousitems. Did you really need three blenders?Did you have more remote control devicesthan you did televisions? As you lookthrough your investment portfolio, youmight also find some duplication, perhapsin the form of multiple stocks of companiesin the same industry. You might want toconsider whether you’d be better off byreducing this concentration and using theproceeds to broaden your investment mixto create new potential for growth, incomeor a combination of both.

• Repair your “roof.” As part of yourexterior spring-cleaning efforts, you mightexamine your roof to determine if you needto repair or replace any torn or missingshingles. After all, a strong roof is essentialto protecting your home. And your financialfoundation needs protection, too — so,review your life and disability insurance toensure they are still adequate to meet yourfamily’s needs. You also might want toconsult with a financial professional for waysof dealing with the potentially devastatingcosts of an extended nursing home stay oranother type of long-term care.

• Plant some “seeds.” Spring is agood time for re-seeding parts of your lawnthat may be bare. Once you’ve planted theseeds, of course, you’ll need to water andfertilize them to encourage growth. As you

look over your financial landscape, youmay also find areas that are somewhatbarren. For example, you might beadequately funding your own retirementgoals through your employer-sponsoredretirement plan and other investments, butare you putting away enough money foryour children’s college education? If not,you might need to “plant some seeds” forpotential growth by investing in a collegesavings account, such as a 529 plan. And youmay need to continually “nourish” yourplan by contributing money each year.

• Update your “furnishings.” Whenyou bought and arranged your home’sfurnishings, they might have been perfectlysuited for your needs. But now, many yearslater, your situation may be quite different.Perhaps you’ve said goodbye to grownchildren who have struck out on their own,so you might want to make new uses forold rooms. And maybe your old “stuff”just isn’t as comfortable as it was before,or the layout of your furniture isn’t asefficient. Whatever the case, it may wellbe time to update your environment. Andthe same thing can happen with yourfinancial “house.” To reflect changes in yourfamily situation, employment, economiccircumstances, retirement goals and otherfactors, you will need to periodicallyreview your financial strategy and yourinvestment portfolio, and make adjustmentsas needed.

Tidying up your living space mayhelp improve your overall outlook onlife. The same might be said of a financialspring cleaning — and you won’t evenneed a mop.

Arizona Game and Fish hatcheries – an inside look

Here’s a question for you: How many species of trout are produced in Ari-zona State fish hatcheries? If you said five, you’re right. Arizona hatch-eries produce five species of trout for anglers to enjoy: rainbow, brown,brook, cutthroat, and Arizona’s native Apache trout, the State Fish.

The Department grows approximately 3 million trout per year in state fish hatcheries. Al-though trout are the primary fish grown, the Department also produces a small number ofcool- or warm-water species such as largemouth bass, bluegill, and roundtail chub.

Fish culture, or aquaculture as it’s commonly referred to, has been in practice since 4,000B.C. Nowadays, fish hatcheries are used to produce and grow fish for consumption (such asyour local grocery store), ornamental use (aquarium or back-yard pond fish), recreation (an-gling), as well as conservation and recovery of species that have imperiled status.

So where do the trout come from?

Most trout in Arizona do not originally come from the stream, river or lake where youcaught it, but rather it was stocked from a hatchery at some stage of its life. Natural trout re-production in Arizona is extremely limited, yet angler demand is high. Trout cannot repro-duce in lakes or ponds because they require cold clear-running perennial streams. Thus, thevast majority of trout caught in Arizona’s public waters originate from hatcheries. The De-partment hatcheries stock trout annually into public waters for anglers to enjoy. To accom-plish this, the Department maintains six fish hatcheries within the State, each of which has adedicated source of natural spring water. Those hatcheries are located as follows:

US 89 Scheduled to reopen thismonth, weather permitting

$25 million repair nearly complete, paving new roadway begins today

PHOENIX — Two years after a landslide ripped apart a 500-foot section of US 89 andsplit the communities of Bitter Springs and Page, the Arizona Department of Trans-portation anticipates reopening the highway to traffic on the afternoon of Friday,March 27, barring any potential weather delays or mechanical breakdowns during thepaving process, which began today.

Page Unified School District buses are expected to be the first vehicles to passthrough newly rebuilt roadway. Students from the Bitter Springs and Marble Canyonareas have been among the most impacted by the US 89 closure, which has re-mained in place following the Feb. 20, 2013, geologic event approximately two milesnorth of the US 89/US 89A junction near the community of Bitter Springs.

Following the paving of Temporary US 89 in August 2013, US 89T has served as thedetour route for motorists headed to and from the Page and Lake Powell areas, butresidents and students in the Bitter Springs and Marble Canyon communities havestill had to go out of their way to travel to and from Page and Lake Powell.

"The reopening of Highway 89 is great news for Page Unified School District and thefamilies that we serve in the communities of Marble Canyon, Bitter Springs and CedarRidge,” said Page Unified School District Superintendent Jim Walker. “The districtwill be now be able to re-establish our traditional bus runs to these communities,which will reduce the time that some of these children spend on our buses by up toan hour on a one-way trip. I would like thank our families for their efforts to continueto support their children’s school attendance during this very challenging time.”

Prior to the March 27 reopening, crews will be completing the paving, install rumblestrips and guardrail, and add temporary striping and pavement markers along theroadway.

Prior to launching the $25 million repair project last summer, which included removingapproximately one million cubic yards of rock material to realign the roadway andconstruct a downslope rock buttress at the base of the Echo Cliffs to stabilize thearea, ADOT had to clear several hurdles to move the project forward.

The ultimate repair of US 89 is the final step in fulfilling ADOT’s three-pronged ap-proach to the US 89 landslide incident, which included providing immediate emer-gency access, conducting a geotechnical investigation and restoring essential trafficto the area. Paving US 89T (Navajo Route 20) has been the short-term solution formotorists driving to and from Page.

“ADOT recognizes the importance of this corridor and what it means to the communi-ties of Bitter Springs, Cedar Ridge and Marble Canyon,” said ADOT Intermodal Trans-portation Division Director Steve Boschen. “While the Feb. 20, 2013, landslide eventwas certainly unexpected and a severe blow to the area, it was a reminder about howcritical transportation infrastructure is to the motorists, businesses, local residents andschoolchildren who rely on it every day.”

After an extensive geotechnical assessment identified the necessary repairs in July2013, ADOT retained an engineering firm and developed plans for the eventual re-pair; finalized all federally required environmental reviews that included cultural, bio-logical and water quality measures; and completed plans for the required right-of-wayeasements.

ADOT, along with the Federal Highway Administration, Navajo Nation, Navajo Divi-sion of Transportation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, were able to expedite the en-vironmental, utility and right-of-way clearance process, knowing that the use of US89T was a temporary fix, especially for the Bitter Springs area communities.

The US 89 landslide repair project is eligible for reimbursement through the FederalHighway Administration’s emergency relief program, which provides funding to stateand local agencies for the repair or reconstruction of highways, roads and bridgesthat are damaged in natural disasters and catastrophic failures.

SkullyZBy Jan Toth

There’s a new bar in town, Puerto Penasco that is. Actually it’s on its fourth

run - first Sunset Cantina, then Wrecked at Jen’s Joint, then Wrecked at

Rick’s Place and now SkullyZ. Not because of customers but owners keep

coming around. The new owners are Craig and Dawn Hanna from the far

West Phoenix area so their trip is about three hours shorter than mine. The

colors are still black and white with a big slash of red thrown in. The

wrecked pirate hat skull has been replaced with a new artsy, Day of the Dead

style skull. Victor and Carlos are still there and Hector is returning.

They will be open seven days a week through March for Spring Break and

probably through May. They just had a new skeleton painted on the wall in-

side that has a little pony tail and beard just like Craig. Pretty Cool. There is

a whole board of different shots you can purchase as well as a wall of Skul-

lyZ shirts. And don’t forget “the autograph wall.”

The have their kitchen open now and the food I had was excellent. I love

onion rings but I’m usually half sick from the grease half way through them.

Not here. They have a very light tempura batter on them and are practically

greaseless. They were very, very good. Carne Asada Quesadilla also was sec-

ond to none. The menu listed a couple types o f hamburgers, several appetiz-

ers and Craig had a plate of Garlic Shrimp that looked fit for a king.

The atmosphere includes several flat screen TVs with different sports venues

playing, music from several different eras. Then there’s the upstairs patio

with views all around Rocky Point. You have your choice of the bar or tables

inside, the tables on the main floor patio or the walk up to the top for a table

with a view. Whatever your choice is, SkullyZ is the place to find it. You’ll

also find good friends like Craig and Dawn, Victor and Carlos, Barbie and

Ken as well as a multitude of other new friends!

You can’t miss at SkullyZ !!! Just use your head, think about it, let your

mind wonder and your brain will take you to SkullyZ.

1. WE SHOULD REALLY WEAR BLUE

Saint Patrick himself would have to deal with pinching onhis feast day. His color was “Saint Patrick’s blue,” a lightshade. The color green only became associated with the bigday after it was linked to the Irish independence movementin the late 18th century.

2. SAINT PATRICK WAS BRITISH

Although he made his mark by introducing Christianity toIreland in the year 432, Patrick wasn’t Irish himself. He wasborn to Roman parents in Scotland or Wales in the latefourth century.

3. THE IRISH TAKE SAINT PATRICK’S DAY

SERIOUSLY

As you might expect, Saint Patrick’s Day is a huge deal inhis old stomping grounds. It’s a national holiday in both Ire-land and Northern Ireland.

4. SO DO NEW YORKERS

New York City’s Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is one of theworld’s largest parades. Since 1762, 250,000 marchers havetraipsed up Fifth Avenue on foot – the parade still doesn’tallow floats, cars, or other modern trappings.

5. CHICAGO FEELS LUCKY, TOO

New York may have more manpower, but Chicago has aspectacle all its own. The city has been celebrating SaintPatrick by dumping green dye into the Chicago River since1962. It takes 40 tons of dye to get the river to a suitablyfestive shade!

6. IT USED TO BE A DRY HOLIDAY

For most of the 20th century, Saint Patrick’s Day was con-sidered a strictly religious holiday in Ireland, which meantthat the nation’s pubs were closed for business on March17. (The one exception went to beer vendors at the big na-tional dog show, which was always held on Saint Patrick’sDay.) In 1970, the day was converted to a national holiday,and the stout resumed flowing.

7. IT’S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS

Not every city goes all-out in its celebratory efforts. From1999 to 2007, the Irish village of Dripsey proudly toutedthat it hosted the Shortest Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in theWorld. The route ran for 26 yards between two pubs. Today,Hot Springs, Arkansas claims the title for brevity – its briefparade runs for 98 feet.

8. THERE’S A REASON FOR THE SHAMROCKS

How did the shamrock become associated with SaintPatrick? According to Irish legend, the saint used the three-leafed plant as a metaphor for the Holy Trinity when he wasfirst introducing Christianity to Ireland.

9. COLD WEATHER HELPED SAINT PATRICK’S

LEGEND

In Irish lore, Saint Patrick gets credit for driving all thesnakes out of Ireland. Modern scientists suggest that the jobmight not have been too hard – according to the fossilrecord, Ireland has never been home to any snakes. Throughthe Ice Age, Ireland was too cold to host any reptiles, andthe surrounding seas have staved off serpentine invadersever since. Modern scholars think the “snakes” SaintPatrick drove away were likely metaphorical.

10. THERE’S NO CORN IN THAT BEEF

Corned beef and cabbage, a traditional Saint Patrick’s Daystaple, doesn’t have anything to do with the grain corn. In-

stead, it’s a nod to the large grains of salt that were histori-cally used to cure meats, which were also known as“corns.”

11. THE WORLD RUNS UP QUITE A BAR TAB

All of the Saint Patrick’s Day revelry around the globe isgreat news for brewers. A 2012 estimate pegged the totalamount spent on beer for Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations at$245 million. And that’s before tips to pubs’ bartenders.

12. IT COULD HAVE BEEN SAINT MAEWYN’S DAY

According to Irish legend, Saint Patrick wasn’t originallycalled Patrick. His birth name was Maewyn Succat, but hechanged his name to Patricius after becoming a priest.

13. THERE ARE NO FEMALE LEPRECHAUNS

Don’t be fooled by any holiday decorations showing ladyleprechauns. In traditional Irish folk tales, there are no fe-male leprechauns, only nattily attired little guys.

14. BUT THE LEPRECHAUN ECONOMY IS THRIV-

ING

Another little-known fact from Irish lore: Leprechaunsearned that gold they’re guarding. According to legend, lep-rechauns spend their days making and mending shoes. It’shard work, so you can’t blame them for being territorialabout their pots of gold.

15. THE LINGO MAKES SENSE

You can’t attend a Saint Patrick’s Day event withouthearing a cry of “Erin go Bragh.” What’s the phrasemean? It’s a corruption of the Irish Éirinn go Brách,which means roughly “Ireland Forever.”

Are You Looking for Spring Planting Ideas??

Help save the Monarch Butterfl ies

5 Plants that will help!

The monarch population overwintering in Mexico has plummeted

over 90% in the last 20 years largely due to pesticides, extreme

weather, and habitat loss…so how can North American gardeners

help the monarchs get off to a strong start in 2015?

Spring is an extremely important time for monarch butterflies. The

overwintering populations will soon head north to lay the first

monarch eggs of the season. These butterflies need new milkweed to

feed monarch caterpillars, and nectar flowers to inspire weary fe-

males to lay the groundwork (eggs) for future generations.

Many butterfly gardeners prefer summer plants that are in their

prime during the height of monarch season. But to ensure there is a

“height” to the season, it’s important to provide the returning ‘migra-

tion generation’ the breakfast it needs for a productive season.

1. Spider Milkweed (Asclepias viridis)- This early milkweed variety

is a shorter species that would make a great garden border for either

taller milkweeds plants or nectar flowers.

2. Chives (Allium schoenoprasum)- A low maintenance plant with

fragrant purple flowers that can also be used to impart a more ‘sub-

tle’ onion flavor into your culinary creations.

3. Siberian Wallflower (Erysimum x marshallii)- A winning combi-

nation of brilliant orange flowers with an intoxicating aroma that at-

tracts monarchs, other butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.

4. May Night Salvia (Salvia x superba ‘Mainacht’)- Striking blue

and purple spikes make this hybrid of S.nemorosa and S. sylvestris a

winner with butterflies and gardeners alike.

5. Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca)- One of the earliest

sprouting milkweed varieties, this is a preferred spring milkweed

because of its large, thick leaves that can sustain many monarch

caterpillars.

Pinewood News 27March 16, 2015

“THE WORD OF FORGIVENESS”

This year Easter is on Sunday, April 5th.

During this season perhaps we should all

stop whatever we are doing and think

about the sacrifice that Jesus made for

us...and the love and forgiveness he

showed all of us, even as he was hang-

ing on the cross.

“Father forgive them, for they do not

know what they are doing.”

These are the first recorded words—

Luke 23:34—that Jesus spoke from the

cross. At the height of his suffering he

prays...He prays for the Roman soldiers

that scourged, tortured and mocked

him...for the Jewish leaders that lied and

illegally tried him...for Pontius

Pilate, who knew better but still ordered

his death.

Jesus must also be thinking of his

Apostles and companions who have

deserted him, to Peter who has denied

him three times...to the fickle crowd,

who only days before praised him on his

entrance to Jerusalem,

and then days later chose him over

Barabbas to be crucified?

He teaches forgiveness in the Lord's

prayer: "Forgive us our debts, as we

have forgiven our debtors” (Matthew

6:12).

Throughout his ministry, Jesus preached

forgiveness and now just before his

death, he shows us what it means to for-

give as he prays “Father forgive them,

for they do not know what they are

doing.”

His first words from the cross...not

words of anger but words of forgiveness.

Could this final prayer be a prayer for us

as well—for those of us who sometimes

forget Jesus in our daily lives?

Of course it is.

EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE

As you know, our former pastor has re-

tired and various church members have

been filling the pulpit while our search

for a new pastor goes forward.

We hope that our new pastor will be

with us sometime in May.

This year we will celebrate Easter on

Sunday, April 5th at our regular Sunday

morning service at 10:30am. We hope

that you will join us for this most Holy

of all Christian celebrations.

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE—

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT

In medieval times, a festival of egg

throwing was held in church, during

which the priest would throw a hard-

boiled egg to one of the choirboys. It

was then tossed from one choirboy to

the next and whoever held the egg when

the clock struck 12 was given the egg.

(Sounds like fun...but it would have

been more exciting if the egg

wasn't hard-boiled!)

WHO ARE WE?

We are a non-denominational church,

which simply means that regardless of

your denominational background (or

lack of same) you are welcome to attend

and worship with us Sunday

mornings at 10:30am.

Adult and children's Sunday school

begins at 9am Sunday mornings.

ONGOING AT MPCC

On the first Sunday of each month the

church offers Communion to all who are

present. This is an open Communion,

which means you do not have to be a

member of the church to participate.

The second Sunday of each month is

potluck Sunday. Everyone is invited

whether you bring food or not. This is a

great time to meet people in a casual en-

vironment, make new friends and enjoy

good food. The potluck follows the

10:30am Sunday service.

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED

If you don’t have a church home here in

Northern Arizona, we hope you’ll con-

sider joining us. We would love to see

you at any, or all, of our weekly activi-

ties.
