Box 18977 • Munds Park, AZ 86017 (928) 286-9827 June 8, 2015 Pinewood Fire Department Memorial Garden Munds Park Community Church Dedication was celebrated on Saturday, May 23, 2015. Sunday Services This past Memorial Day weekend, residents of Munds Park and members of Pinewood Fire District came together to formally dedicate the Pinewood Fire District’s 40th Anniversary Memorial Garden. Come Worship with Us! The garden is dedicated to those individuals who worked together to form and run the Fire District more than 40 years ago. Chief John Welsch spoke of the spirit of volunteerism that prevailed for years to ensure that the fire department ran smoothly and that emergency services were there when someone needed them. Lastly, the garden was dedicated to current first responders honoring their hard work and dedication they provide each and every day. 9:00 a.m. - Sunday School for all ages 10:30 a.m. - Worship for all people Catholic Mass held at Munds Park Community Church: Sat. June 13th, at 4:30 pm Community Calendar: Located on the east side of the fire station, the garden is the culmination of hundreds of hours of hard work. Volunteers who weren’t afraid to get dirty were Tom Eade, Dottie Loehnis, Pat Traber, Leslie DeGroot and Deanna Irwin, working under the leadership of Munds Park’s Gardener Extraordinaire, Bob Timberman. Bob and many of these volunteers continue to be at the garden nearly every day weeding, planting and watering. • Pinewood Fire District Pinewood Property Owners Association, Pinewood Country Club, Pinewood Gardens and the Pinewood Fire Department Auxiliary made generous donations, along with additional monetary donations from many kind residents, ensuring that this bright spot in the community would become a reality. •Pinewood Sanitary District Monthly Meeting 2nd Thursday of the Month Next Meeting, June 11th, 3 p.m. Board Meeting - 3rd Tuesday of the month Next meeting, June 16th • Community Emergency Response Team (CERT Mtg) 2nd Tuesday of the month, 6:30 p.m. at Fire Station Next Meeting, June 9th • PFD Auxiliary Monthly Meeting/Potluck 1st Tuesday of the month Next Meeting, July 7th, 6:30 p.m. •Neighborhood Watch “People Helping People” Next Meeting, Wednesday Aug 19th 6:30 - 8p.m. at the Pinewood Fire Station WILLARD SPRINGS COMPACTOR HOURS - SUMMER - MAY THRU OCTOBER 9 a.m. TO 5 p.m. FRI, SAT, SUN, MON 286-1866 Bob Timberman with Volunteers MUNDS PARK POST OFFICE LOBBY HOURS 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m Monday thru Friday 9 a.m. to Noon Saturdays 286-1845 Fire hat bird house Next Edition of the Pinewood News June 22, 2015 Deadline for Ads /Articles June 15th If you would like to place an ad, article or special event please call 928-286-9827 or email the information to pinewoodnews@hotmail.com You can view The Pinewood News Online at: thepinewoodnews.com *Photos courtesy of Jan Toth & PFD 2 June 8, 2015 Pinewood News Community Calendar Sponsored by the Munds Park Business Alliance “Building Business Partnerships for a Stronger Community” MAY/JUNE June 2015 2015 June 9th June 10TH Taco Tuesdays/Pinewood Restaurant Pinewood Country Club “Hump Day” 5:00 - 8:00 p.m. 4:00-7:00 Happy Hour June 12th Friday Night Karaoke at PCC 8:00-Midnight June 12th Friday Night Karaoke at RV Park 7:00 Rec/Dance Hall June 12th All You Can Eat Fish Fry/Pinewood Restaurant 4:00-9:00 p.m. June 12th Pinewood Players: Hallelujah Girls 7:00 at Pinewood Players Theatre June 13th Pinewood Players: Hallelujah Girls 7:00 at Pinewood Players Theatre June 13th Live Music: Cheap Sunglasses at MP RV Park 6:30 at the Rec/Dance Hall June 13th Sock Hop/Karaoke Saturday Night - 7:30 p.m.Pinewood Restaurant June 14th Pinewood Players : Hallelujah Girls 2:30 at Pinewood Players Theatre June 16th Taco Tuesdays - Pinewood Restaurant 5:00-8:00 p.m. June 17th Pinewood Country Club “Hump Day” 4:00-7:00 Happy Hour June 19th Pinewood Players: Hallelujah Girls 7:00 at Pinewood Players Theatre June 19th All You Can Eat Fish Fry/Pinewood Restaurant 4:00-9:00 p.m. June 19th Friday Night Karaoke at PCC 8:00-Midnight June 19th Friday Night Karaoke at RV Park 6:30 Rec/Dance Hall June 20th Pinewood Players: Hallelujah Girls 7:00 at Pinewood Players Theatre June 20th Live Music: Aces & Eights at MP RV Park 6:30 at Rec/Dance Hall June 20th Karaoke Saturday Night - Pinewood Restaurant 7:30 p.m. June 21st Pinewood Players: Hallelujah Girls 2:30 at Pinewood Players Theatre June 8, 2015 Pinewood News 3 Provident Partners Realty William J.

I could hear the complaining, before the doors even opened. Out of the hot car poured my young cousins; Matt a typical hard to please 15 year old, Charlie a 10 year old always buried in a book, and Katie a 9 year old that doesn’t leave the house without a fashionable change of clothes. My aunt greeted me with, “I told you we wouldn’t like this!” I announced over the din, “Everyone take a deep breath and let’s get on the water.” Before us stood Wahweap Marina and our 75 foot houseboat replete with a ski boat, wave runners, two gas grills, state-of-the-art entertainment system, and even a hot tub. In the distance, the shimmering waters of Lake Powell and the spectacular red cliffs of the National Park System’s Glen Canyon National Recreation Area called. We hadn’t finished burying the anchors on a sandy beach in an idyllic inlet, before the grumbling was replaced with squeals of joy as the kids launched themselves into the lake via the houseboat’s water slide. These squeals continued uninterrupted from dawn to dusk for the next week. I had long wanted to teach the kids how to fish and the kids couldn’t wait. So, I set them up with poles and hot dog bait before I fired-up the first round of Lake Powell margaritas for my adult family members. They had to serve themselves though as hollering from the back of the boat signaled Charlie’s first fish ever. I had barely finished Charlie’s official “First Fish” pic, when Katie complained about being “stuck on the bottom”. I knew better and told her to keep reeling. Her unbounded excitement of catching her first fish was only moderated by her concern that she might accidentally touch the fish. While some adults enjoyed lounging around with a drink, the rest of us set-off with the ski boat to go tubing. The kids just couldn’t get enough! I got a good laugh from Katie though, who was afraid to get in at first. I had to pry out why. It turns out she was afraid of the fish she had caught and released earlier would seek revenge. Lake Powell sits at 3,650 feet and gave us enjoyable 90 degree weather during our visit in early July. Around midday, dark clouds would suddenly appear. And, within 45 minutes there were cooling monsoon rains. This could not have been more ideal, since it gave me a chance to escape to my cabin for a nap. No ASPEN ANNIE’S LANDSCAPING, INC Lake Powell at sunset need to check for clear skies, squealing from the kids on the slide ended nap time. One of my favorite times of day on Lake Powell is sunset. As the kids enjoy the slide, adults relax with drinks and I barbeque chicken and veggies. It’s this amazing ability for everyone to do what they want while everyone is still together that makes houseboating so perfect for families. I thought the entertainment system would see some use, but it only happened one night when we all watched a film together. More amazing is that the kids’ electronic games never saw the light of day the whole trip. I was excited to show my family scenic Padre Bay and the big walled canyons found beyond. This was a day-long adventure and the ski boat was completely filled. The kids enjoyed this scenery as much as the activities of the previous days. And, we had fun seeing how far we could go before a canyon dead-ended.

That triggered a thought… Wow that sounds like another Fireline column which sometimes gets difficult with an issue every other week during the summer. Any guesses as to what this column is about? The Pinewood Fire District started in 1973 as a totally volunteer department and remained that way until 1983 when two members were hired year round with a third coming on board in 1984. We functioned with one person on duty per day until a second member per shift was hired in 2000. After that we moved from 2 per shift to 3 then 4 and now 5 per shift. It may seem like we have a lot of personnel for a small area, but remember that we are also a long way from any other services and any other help. By the time an ambulance can get here from Flagstaff when our ambulance is busy, our secondary crew on duty can already have patient number two at the hospital. In the past, we’ve had to call in Highlands to back us up if we have a fire call. Your home might not be standing or your heart attack may not be reversible if we did not have additional personnel right here, right now. The last set of three new hires were the result of grant funding from FEMA. We also have a batch of Reserve Firefighters at our disposal. To be hired as a Reserve you must be at least EMT and Firefighter I & II certified just as is required to apply and test for a full time position here. In fact, new hires to the full-time ranks come from a testing process among our Reserves. So, anyone starting full time is known to members and the public and like-wise knows our community, our equipment and our operating procedures. The Reserves are required to spend a certain number of hours here at the station each month adding a 6th person for responses during certain times of the week. It seems like we have a lot of new apparatus and ambulances also, but everything we replaced was over 20-30 years old. Each ambulance is used for a minimum of ten years before replacement. New radios were purchased with another grant and not taxpayer dollars. We owe Chief Welsch and especially his wife, Linda, a big debt of gratitude for all the additional funds. These funds made purchases possible that did not take funding from taxes. And when the economy dumped so did our tax base. The District is also bound by State rules and regulations regarding our budget and how much we are allowed to tax. The help of the PPOA, the Auxiliary and Linda and John’s grant writing skills have given us the ability to procure items we did not have the funds to budget for. What do all these people do all day? Funny you should ask… Since our call load is not usually much over 500 calls per year. But ask yourself, if you are the second heart attack in an hour, do you want an ambulance to have to come from Flagstaff for you to receive care that may save your life? Each of our members has a section or two or three of our budget they are responsible for. Someone is in charge of all 5 June 8, 2015 LINE EMS reporting requirements from our Medical Direction at Flagstaff Medical Center. Calls are reviewed each month and reports sent to Prehospital. Someone is in charge of uniforms, another has responsibility over repair and purchase of new “tools of the trade.” Someone else is in charge of building maintenance. There’s always training. All EMS personnel have requirements every two years to maintain their level of certification. They also have to train on equipment and apparatus. With all of this they still do construction around the building. When more room was needed for personnel and Reserves, the crews did all the work on the sleeping quarters. They now have five small individual rooms for members of each shift and a small space for sleeping for a Reserve member who spends the night. All the work was done by crews on duty when not busy on calls. The next project to be tackled by the crews is the kitchen remodel. Bet you didn’t know that our kitchen is inspected annually by the health department because we hold pot lucks and fundraising events that entail cooking food. The new kitchen will give better cooking and baking capabilities and make it more compliant with health department regulations. When our crews are not saving lives, putting out brush and house fires, they are doing blood pressure checks, oxygen saturation testing, as well as cleaning and bandaging minor wounds. They go out almost daily checking and installing smoke detectors. We still have a few smoke detectors left from another grant Linda and John obtained. The crews also do wood stove and fire place inspections. They can check for carbon monoxide and they do have equipment to take snakes away. Our ambulance is a mini emergency room and our medroom at the fire station is a mini, mini emergency room. So, if crews are in the station, stop in and say hello. They give free tours of ambulances and fire apparatus to kids of all ages. We have a good group of people – well trained – professional – caring! We are very lucky.

June 8, 2015 Pinewood News 7 The Quick Cook The Quick Cook Makes Breakfast for Dinner By Sharon Arthur Moore Omigosh! I had no idea! I had been reading about “cookie butter” and “Speculoos” as the newest replacement for peanut butter and Nutella. Well, after collecting dozens of recipes (just because that’s what I do) I decided I should check out this new wonder food. I was thinking, “Yeah. Right. I’m sure it’s tasty, but what a marketing ploy! Better than Nutella? I don’t think so!” Umm. I was wrong. This stuff is so addictive, that after opening my first jar to check out texture and appearance, I dipped my finger in the extra cookie butter on the lid. Just to check the flavor, right? Then I got a spoonful and licked it clean. I closed the jar, vowing to save it for cooking. An hour later, I ate another spoonful. Sigh! Yes, I am a weak person. There are many imitators out there, but buy the good stuff. Biscoff (a Belgian company) has been making the cookies (Lotus Speculoos) for more than 80 years. They created the butter from their cookies. An independent taste test confirmed that you should buy the original. Yeah, I know Trader Joe has a cookie butter, but it is not as good in my opinion (and that of the testers). With the texture of loose peanut butter (like Nutella’s texture) and the flavor of spiced cookies, how could I not love this stuff. The main ingredients are: Biscoff cookies, brown sugar, oil, cinnamon. There’s some other stuff, of course. My mind started thinking of ways to use the Biscoff butter spread. I cut plugs out of cupcakes and fill the holes with Nutella and then ice over the top to cover the plug. Cookie butter will work there. I always add a couple of cinnamon sticks to my chili. Bet I could add cookie butter instead. Cream cheese and cookie butter would make a great fruit dip. I swirl some Nutella with vanilla ice cream and cover with chopped salted peanuts. Cookie butter will work there. It’s clear I can stick cookie butter in or on lots of my regular dishes. But how to cook with it so it’s a major part of the dish? The first recipe in this column is for Fruit Pizza. I make an easy pizza dough (no yeast, no rising) that I modified for a dessert pizza. Easy, delicious, serves a crowd. What’s better for our mountain life-style, eh? Then I remembered my family-favorite Cinnamon-Nutella mini-brownies. Oh, yeah! So, if you hear of a new food item, a really different thing, not just another brand of mayo, try it. If you like it, substitute it in recipes to get a different food product. Quick Cook Tip #17 Try a new ingredient in a favorite old recipes. For dough: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. In a medium bowl, blend 2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon well. Set aside. In a small bowl, blend cookie butter into the yogurt. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and thoroughly blend. This makes a big messy ball of dough. If it is too sticky to handle to mix well (I use my hands), add more flour until the ball “hangs together”. Turn dough ball onto floured surface and knead 35 times until the ball is smooth and not too sticky. Make a big flat round of dough to look like a pizza. (Or divide the dough into eight small balls and make individual pizza rounds.) Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just starting to brown. Remove from oven and cool thoroughly. While the pizza round(s) cools, prepare the toppings. For topping: Blend the cream cheese, cookie butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar into a smooth paste. When baked dough is room temperature, evenly spread on the cream cheese mixture. Cover with fruit and serve immediately. Cut up fruits to put on top of the cream cheese mixture. Cookie Butter Brownies (makes 12 mini muffins) ½ cup cookie butter 1 large egg 2 teaspoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 teaspoons oil 5 tablespoons flour ½ cup chopped nuts Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup minimuffin pan with paper or foil liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Put the cookie butter, egg, and oil in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth and well blended. Add the flour and whisk until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin (about 3/4 full) and sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Bake until a toothpick comes out dry, 11 to 12 minutes (longer for a chewier brownie). Set on a rack to cool completely. Serve immediately or cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can sprinkle on powdered sugar mixed with cocoa to make them prettier. Or do what I do: ice them with more cookie butter! Fruit Pizza For dough: 2+ cups of flour, plus more for kneading 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 cup plain Greek yogurt ½ cup cookie butter There you have it! Cookie Butter is my new favorite cooking flavor. Experiment. Let me know what you come up with! For topping: 8 ounces cream cheese, softened ½ cup cookie butter 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 teaspoons brown sugar Assorted fruit for topping Sharon Arthur Moore has a blog, “Parsley, Sage, and Rosemary Time”, you can follow at www.sharonarthurmoore.blogspot.com.

PINEWOOD PLAYERS NEWS In my last article, I talked about the audition process, and the meeting directors have in early September to determine which actors will be asked to play which roles. Once actors have accepted the roles, they’ll each get a copy of the script, and on some beautiful September weekend afternoon, before everyone leaves for the valley, the actors from each of the plays will gather on somebody’s front porch, script in hand, to read through the lines together. Little things might get changed. Like, maybe the script calls for an actor to say, “Last year, when we were still in high school…” but our actor is 70 years old. So we might need to tweak that line a bit. The first play on the schedule for our summer productions usually starts practicing in January or February. This year that play will be Hallelujah Girls, directed by Lynn Rouyer. She’s got an article in this edition of the paper. You might want to look for it. It’s called “Director’s Chair”, and in it, she talks about some of the activity that goes on during the winter with the plays – especially the first play of the season. Lynn should know all about the work that goes into directing a play; she’s directed over a hundred plays in her lifetime! We can usually get into the theater up here in Munds Park by mid-May, but the building doesn’t have a heater, so when we have chilly spring weather like we did this year, the actors either have to arrive at the theater all bundle up in winter coats and mittens or we need practice elsewhere. By the beginning of June, though, the actors are working on the stage and our volunteer carpenters are hard at work, too, turning the stage into whatever fantasy world the director has cooked up. Next time, I’ll talk about tech week and the work that goes on behind the stage.

Most of the time, they’re pretty harmless. But you could be hurting yourself if you make excuses for not taking action in some areas — and one of those areas is investing. Not investing, or not investing enough, can have serious consequences. In fact, a lot of people are poorly prepared financially for retirement. Consider these figures from the Federal Reserve: The median retirement account value for individuals between 35 and 44 is just $42,700; for people 55 to 64, the corresponding figure is $103,000. These figures are frighteningly low, especially when retirement can easily last two or three decades. In short, you need to invest. So, what’s stopping you? Here are some common excuses: • “I’ll do it later.” The longer you wait before you start investing, the less time you have to accumulate money, and the less likely it may be that you’ll achieve your goals, such as a comfortable retirement lifestyle. If you haven’t begun investing, do it today. • “I don’t have enough money to invest.” The cost of living is unquestionably high, and you may feel that you have just enough money to pay your bills before your next paycheck. But if you look for ways to economize, you may well be able to free up even a little money to invest each month. And then, when your salary goes up, you can increase the amount you invest. • “I’ll have Social Security.” Social Security benefits generally account for only about 40% of an individual’s pre-retirement income, according to the Social Security Administration. Unless you want to scale back your lifestyle greatly during your retirement years, you’ll need to supplement Social Security with your employer-backed retirement account, such as a 401(k), plus your own investments, such as those that go inside an IRA. • “Can I really invest enough money for my retirement?” Consider this: Going back to 1990, if you had invested $10,000 in the stocks that make up the S&P 500, and simply held on to these stocks, you would have amassed more than $76,000 after taxes by the end of 2013. Of course, past performance of the market is not a guarantee of how it will perform in the future, and the S&P 500 is an unmanaged index and is not meant to depict an actual investment — but this illustration still shows that patient, diligent, long-term investing can produce positive results. • “I don’t know where to begin.” If you work for a company that provides a retirement plan such as a 401(k) or something similar, you’ve already got a great place to begin. You only need to sign up for the plan and start deferring a part of your salary, and you’re an investor. It’s also quite easy to open an IRA, another popular retirement savings account. In any case, if you have doubts about how to get started investing, you will find it valuable to meet with a qualified investment professional. Don’t let excuses get in the way of developing good investment habits. With time, determination and effort, you can overcome many of the obstacles you thought prevented you from becoming a full-fledged investor.

This is understandably frustrating for residents expecting packages or who might have friends traveling to Munds Park that cannot find where they live because of outdated online navigation information. It also is frustrating for the County’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) division. Since the onset of the re-addressing project, GIS has worked diligently to provide updated address and street information to all of its customers including delivery and online navigational/mapping stakeholders. All major re-addressing initiatives require that updated datasets be provided as soon as possible to key online mapping companies, delivery companies (such as FedEx and UPS) and to first responders that include area fire departments and 911 emergency dispatching. In addition, the GIS division conducts periodic checks of various companies and online service providers to see whether their address information is consistent with the County’s current address data. Delivery companies such as FedEx, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service, along with service companies like Arizona Public Service and Guardian Medical update their address data four to six times per year. Online navigation companies do so less frequently, but still should have updated their data since the re-addressing occurred. Yahoo Maps and MapQuest both appear to have updated their online map data. Google is currently not showing any updated information, despite the fact that the GIS division has provided Google with the County’s new address data several times during the last few years. GIS again reached out to Google in late May and again provided this data for upload to their maps. Google responded that they are currently working on updating their system but could not provide a hard deadline for its completion. Although the GIS division remains committed to this follow-up process, it is important to understand that the County cannot control how or when these private entities update their data to reflect current information. While GIS will continue to monitor the situation, residents are encouraged to contact the customer relations departments of delivery or online navigation companies regarding any outstanding problems with a particular address.

First I ordered a pickleball racket and six balls from Amazon. During the class Doug suggested light weight rackets so we wouldn’t damage our wrists. I’ll go to Sports Authority when I’m in the Valley as no place in Flagstaff sells pickleball rackets. Doug Pusateri is kind enough to lend his expertise and endless patience to introduce novices to the sport. A pickleball court is one quarter of the size of a tennis court. The rackets look like ping pong paddles on steroids. The balls are whiffle balls, only a little smaller. They make a satisfying “knock” when smacked by the paddle. Five people showed up for the class. Doug went over the rules and how the game was scored. He set us up to try it. Three of the class members looked physically fit and after a few volleys I could tell they were coordinated. One fellow looked like he might be in my lack of talent group, but he was much better than me after fifteen minutes. I noticed I was on the losing team both games we played after switching partners. Some people have natural athletic ability. I am not one of those people. When I went to summer camp as a teenager I took private tennis lessons twice a week for the entire summer. I never learned the game. The instructor did teach me how to balance the racket on my fingertips. He told me I was a hopeless case. It reminded me of the time in fifth grade when the chorus director told me, just before our concert, to please only mouth the words. Or the time when I was nine and my piano teacher told my mother not to waste any more money on lessons. My second husband was a terrific golfer. I bought clubs and took lessons. I wasn’t any good but I could hit it fairly straight. I believe it’s called “pitch and piddle down the middle.” I hardly ever kept score when I played with friends. If I was holding the group up I just threw the ball towards the hole. I believe that anyone can learn the mechanics of writing and do a decent job, but it requires talent to write like Poe or Twain. I figured the same should hold true for pickleball. If I practiced volleying and serving I could play with other people without embarrassment. I went to the pickleball court another morning and spent half an hour volleying against the wall. I had six balls. I waited until I hit all six over the wall before I retrieved them. It was quite a workout. I figured I have another week or two of practicing before I’ll join a beginners’ game. My eight year-old granddaughter is coming up for a week to go to golf camp. I have two rackets so I’m sure I can get her to practice with me. She loves it when she’s better at something than I am and it doesn’t bother me at all. $194,900 17285 ZIA PLACE $68,900 689 OAK DRIVE Charming, updated cabin manufactured home.

Unfortunately, instead of looking through my notes I relied on my memory… Big mistake. It was Linda Van Deren’s fatherin-law who worked on the Clubhouse construction, not her grandfather. Sorry! Back in the day, the Northernaire Country Club was the center of life in the small resort community. It was one party after another at the Club. Due to road situations, invitations were delivered on horseback, door to door. There was no lack of reasons for a party, Christmas. Halloween, German, French or Mexican Freedom Day, or just for the heck of it. One couple did it up right with hors d’oeuvres, corsages for the ladies. We did not find out if it was black or white tie. Everyone dressed in their finest no matter how much mud they had to walk through. They then relied on the summer monsoon rains schedule that rolled in about 2 p.m. and was totally gone by 4 p.m. The clubhouse at that time included the kitchen dining room, bar and ladies locker room. that we received a small portable switching station and our own 286 prefix. Munds Park businesses started with a Standard Gasoline Station which opened in 1960. It was operated by Art Snyder who also worked as Greens keeper for the Northernaire Country Club. It was in the gas station self-service days and traffic was light so you honked your horn and Art came running. Somewhere in the early 60’s, 60 or 62, the building now known as the Pinewood Restaurant was constructed as a general store by Donald Bruzdzinski. He persuaded his Uncle Robert E. “Robby” Wilson of Flagstaff to operate it. Robby had operated the Navajo Trading Co. for 11 years. This was really the General Store depicted in the old movies of the West. Not only did it have the usual merchandise, but also a lunch counter with sweet rolls, doughnuts and coffee for breakfast, sandwiches, cold pop or iced tea for lunch and was run by his wife Gladys. Per Linda Wilson Radosevich, Gladys and Robby’s daughter, the store was frugally stocked, since Munds Park at that time was mostly a place of summer resi- CONGRATULATIONS!!

He can provide you with a FRee, Written Market Analysis! DAVE KRAEMER Cell: 928-380-3639 email: SuperDavesRealEstate@msn.com Realty In 1958 a Caterpillar was used to level a runway at the airfield on the west side of what is now I-17. A windsock was used to determine from which direction to land. In the way of roads, it was mostly dirt and mud. There was an arroyo across Pinewood Blvd that was so deep that cars traveling through it totally disappeared. Since -17 was not yet built, the trip to town was long and often very muddy. Dick Gray was club manager at the time and his wife, Wilma, manned a CB radio. According to Dick, residents heading to town would contact Wilma and let her know they were going to town, then let her know they got there, and one more time when they headed home. There was a 50/50 chance you would not get home and friends would have an idea where to go to pull you out of the mud. ln fact, Thorne and Ruben Donnelly pulled people out of the mud with a special vehicle made for the Alaska Highway with lights, generator, winch and it was 4x4. You had two roads into Munds Park in those days... To get to Mormon Lake and on to here you either went through Prescott to Sedona and up Schnebly Hill or went to Wickenburg, Yarnell Hill, to Prescott through Chino Valley to Ashfork to Williams to Flagstaff Lake Mary Rd to Mormon Lake and over 240 (a good road at that time) to Pinewood. The golf course was just beginning to shape up and was challenging to say the least. The clubhouse was small but had many activities to keep people busy i.e. bridge, other card games, art shows, lectures and a homey atmosphere where everyone could get together. Electricity was not very dependable and it was often out for more than a few hours. However candlelight dinners and a warm fireplace weren’t all that bad. Phone service was through an open line from Sedona and service was a two party line. In fact, it wasn’t until 1974 5 W. Pinewood Bkvd Munds Park, AZ 56017 DONALD R. TILLERY Designated Broker dences. He kept a stock of chewing tobacco, cigarettes, candy bars, gum, canned Spam, Vienna sausages and tuna, a selection of canned fruit and vegetables and soup, coffee and tea, sugar, flour, condiments, jelly Residential Commercial Free Estimate Making your Home & Business Beautiful inside and out since 1983 and jam, soda pop, cookies and potato chips. The chewing tobacco was mostly for the cowboys that came through going to or from Mormon Lake, either hauling their horses and gear, or riding. With his liquor license in jeopardy, Robby often had to ask the cowboys to take their beers off the porch to drink them. They would walk across the road and sit under the pines to drink their beer and eat their Vienna sausages. Robby let them water their horses and dogs from the outside faucet. Dogs and horses were always allowed to drink on the property! To be continued…… Pictures for this article are courtesy Jay Greene Michael J.

The map is free to the public and can be downloaded for use on smartphones, tablets and Garmin GPS devices. Hard copies of the MVUM will be available at all Coconino National Forest offices and many local businesses. In addition to hard copy maps, forest visitors can now get a free electronic MVUM, which is a color map with shaded relief topography, game management units, hiking trails, and all designated motorized routes and areas. Using this electronic map on one’s smartphone through the Avenza PDF Maps app incorporates GPS location, meaning one can see where they are on the map as they drive or hike on the national forest. Instructions for how to get the free map app on your mobile device can be found at http://go.usa.gov/PEa (case sensitive). The 2015 MVUM includes a number of updates and corrections made as a result of public input received over the past year. More substantive route changes requested by the public will need to be reviewed through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. The forest expects to propose changes to the system of designated motor vehicle routes and areas in late 2015 to begin the NEPA process.

June 8, 2015 Pinewood News How is Your Relationship With Your Financial Planner? Over the 20 years I have been in practice, I have encountered many different situations, problems, and opportunities to help as a Financial Planner. The opportunities to grow with my clientele, has to have been the most rewarding for me. Working with people is what I do for a living and building long term relationships is what it is all about. Instead of me submitting one of my many blog articles I have written about a specific product or process I thought instead this would be a great time to just talk about what makes me tick a bit and share some of my ideas on how I like to interact with the people I work with. You see the key word here is “people”. No matter what your level of income or where you live people all have hopes, goals, and dreams. These dreams and desires are what make the world go round. I could build you the perfect financial plan, strategically designed to the tee, but if it does not really help you with what you really want, chances are it may fall to the wayside as time passes. I have found that concentrating on the things that really matter is where the true connection is. When I go into depth about how you wish you had time for a better relationship with your grandchildren, or how your dream has always been to see Africa, or that you feel your business has not been successful as you had hoped, or how you really want to make sure your daughter has that perfect wedding, this is when I start to see the fabric you are truly made of. This fabric is the building block for my work. We then go about building a process with these things as the goal. I could concentrate on showing you spreadsheets on the past rates of return I have gotten for people or I could show you my step by step strategic process for securing your retirement income, and paying less taxes. These things are important no doubt, and we take them very serious, however they seem to always take a back seat to what really matters. This is why I love to get to know people and build my relationships from the ground up. The other parts of the plan will get done correctly without a doubt, but in order to stay on track and make sure we get it done I have to constantly refer back to WHY you are doing all this in the first place. This creates a relationship with my clients that not many financial planners can say they have, and this is why I love what I do. Remember this when choosing your financial life planner, does he or she have a strategy to keep you on the correct path, and are they truly a catalyst to get things done? Thomas M.

Arizona Financial Plan) 35 36 June 8, 2015 Pinewood News The Boys In The Boat by Daniel James Brown The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown. This book is a sterling example of what is often described as narrative nonfiction – “joining good research with compelling, character-driven storytelling--reads like a novel”. I might add that it reads not like any ordinary novel, but one filled with drama and suspense even though we know the outcome. It is the story of the University of Washington’s 1936 eightoar crew and coxswain, made up of sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers who defeated elite and prestigious rivals such as Harvard and Princeton and sons of aristocrats from Cambridge and Oxford. It’s a story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times. Much like Seabiscuit of the same Great Depression era, it gave the country an underdog to cheer for. It reminded them what can be achieved when everyone quite literally pulls together. Author Brown, says, “For me, the story is very much a metaphor for what that whole generation managed to do.” As author David Laskin (The Children’s Blizzard and The Long Way Home) praises it so aptly, “I read the last fifty pages with white knuckles and the last twenty-five with tears in my eyes. History, sports, human interest, weather, suspense, design, physics, oppression and inspiration—this book has it all.” In fact, there is so much to discuss in this book, I have tried for a month to write this review but always fell short in describing its magnificence. A big accolade, I know but so deserving. Since my own words seemed inadequate, I decided the best approach was to share the author’s words in his prologue which captured my heart immediately. “This book was born on a cold, drizzly, late spring day when I clambered over the split-rail cedar fence that surrounds my pasture and made my way through wet woods to a modest frame house where Joe Rantz lay dying. I knew only two things about Joe when his daughter Judy opened the door that day. I knew that in his mid-seventies he had single-handedly hauled a number of cedar logs down a mountain, then hand-split the rails and cut the posts and installed all 2,224 linear feet of the pasture fence I had just climbed over. And I knew he had been one of the nine young men from the state of Washington who shocked both the rowing world and Adolph Hitler at the 1936 Olympics…he talked about learning the art of rowing, about shells and oars…about long cold hours on the water under steelgray skies…marching into the Olympic Stadium in Berlin and his crewmates….it was when he tried to talk about the boat that his words began to falter and tears welled up in his bright eyes…something mysterious and beyond definition…it was about a shared experience when nine good-hearted men gave everything they had for one another, bound together forever by pride and respect and love. I told Joe I’d like to write a book about his rowing days and he said he’d like that. But then his voice broke once more and he admonished me gently, ‘But not just about me. It has to be about the boat.’” The actual boat, the old wooden The Husky Clipper, today rests on the top rack of the University of Washington boathouse. It was built by George Popcock, internationally famous for designing and handcrafting the best and swiftest racing shells in the world of crew racing. A native of England, he was recruited in 1912 to build shells for the University of Washington. The George Pocock Racing Shell Company in Seattle became the leading producer of quality racing shells in the country, making 80 percent of all those used by college crews in America. His boats were coveted by colleges and rowing clubs around the world. Among the innovations he developed were sliding seats, lightweight oars, special oarlocks, and a unique steering mechanism, replacing the tiller.

WHERE HAS THE PINEWOOD NEWS BEEN? by Lynne Rouyer Lynn and Lou Rouyer, residents of Munds Park, have just returned from France. Lynn's bucket list included walking the beaches of Normandy. They joined good friends and Lou's sister and husband for a 15 day vacation. Did you know that there is a miniature Statue of Liberty near the Eiffel Tower? This was quite a pleasant surprise. Can you imagine walking from the Arc de Triomphe down the Champs Elysees with the many elegant shops, sidewalk cafes, and then you find a Disney Store? The time in Paris was magnifique. Of course, a stop at the Moulin Rouge was fun, and then the Palace of Versailles was outstanding with the art work, gardens and furnishings. Talk about living like a king? While on the River Cruise up the Seine, we visited Van Gogh's home, cemetery and then on to Monet's gardens, the famous Japanese Bridge and his cottage. Everything was blooming beautifully. The locals said that we hit it just right. The day at Normandy was raining, cold, and windy. The weather conditions were repeated, just like it must have been on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The American Cemetery with so many white crosses so perfectly placed, the museum that brought to life all that we have read about WWII. Then the beach was a time to meditate on the many lives that were lost. What a priceless experience with so many memories to bring home. 38 June 8, 2015 Pinewood News Birds of Munds Park #63 Purple Martins by Margaret Dyekman On a recent Saturday afternoon I went to Lake Odell to see if I could get some inspiration for my next article. It was a lovely day, with the sun getting lower into the west, so perfect for bird viewing across the water. I was not disappointed – there was an Osprey hunting, and I witnessed it take two dives. Its second dive was successful, as it came up with a fish in its talons and then flew across the lake to a tree to eat its dinner. I next started looking at the swallows and easily identified the Tree Swallows and the Violet-Green Swallows, but then paused and thought, “What is THAT one?” There were a small number of larger and very dark swallows flying that I didn’t recognize. They were noisy, and some of them landed in the tree tops to the left of me, so I was able to get a better look through my binoculars. I took out my iPhone and looked up swallows on my two birding aps. Finally, I thought “Oh my gosh, those are Purple Martins!” This was a species I had never identified in Munds Park and really didn’t think I would ever see here. The last time I saw Purple Martins was in Memphis at the Mississippi River before we went to visit Graceland (yes, to see Elvis Presley’s estate, which was a very fun trip for us.) Purple Martin Purples Martins are loved by many people across the United States, mostly in the East where they are much more common than out West. When you see large bird houses with many units – typically 10-20 entrance holes and usually mounted high atop a pole – that is a Purple Martin house. After doing some research on line, I learned fascinating facts about these birds. •Purple Martins are secondary cavity nesters – meaning they don’t make their own cavities like woodpeckers, for example, and instead use natural cavities in trees or cliffs or ones make by other birds. However, the birds in the Eastern U.S. are almost now exclusively artificial home nesters – they use man-made structures. Native Americans started this phenomena centuries ago when they hung dried out, empty gourds with a hole drilled in it for the birds. Today it is thought that if humans did not supply Purple Martins with artificial homes, the species would entirely disappear from the Eastern U.S. •In the Western U.S., however, Purple Martins still tend to use natural cavities versus man-made multi-compartment housing. I have noticed Purple Martin housing on at least one property around the Pinewood Country Club but never have seen it being used. The birds in the West tend to stay near water – for their source of flying-insect food – and they like areas with tall pines and cottonwoods. In other parts of Arizona with the right conditions they will nest in cavities in cacti. •Purple Martins eat only insects, which they catch in flight. There is a common misconception that they devour mosquitoes. They fly much higher than mosquitoes do and they feed mostly during the daytime hours, when mosquitoes are not active, so mosquitoes are not part of their diet. •I could go on and on, but instead for now I will point you to the Purple Martin Conservation Association, a non-profit association devoted entirely to the conservation of this species. The website is www.purplemartin.org. I hope to share more information about the Purple Martins in future articles. Some of us are talking about doing a bird walk one late afternoon or early morning in July or August, so if you are interested in participating, please let me know.

But, as you get to what seems like the end, a passage is revealed and you turn the corner to more water extending into the distance. Another great aspect of houseboating are the special one-on-one opportunities with family. One of my favorites was taking Katie on a waverunner to explore the lake. It was just an hour or so of being away, but it seemed like much more. It’s an experience we both will remember. Finally, beautiful weather has arrived in Pinewood. Now, we just have to wait for the road construction to finish on Pinewood Blvd. and we can have our “Perfect Pinewood” that we all love. The Niners are now well underway and we have had five weekly play days. The number of 9’ers playing increases each week. On May 20th we played a game called “Thrilling Threesomes.” The results were as follows: The biggest debate before the trip was how long to make it. I suggested 7 days and everyone recoiled in settling on 5 days. In a snap of the fingers it was our last night, and everyone was in shock that the time had passed so fast.

However, it was not only his craftsmanship in building that made Mr. Pocock unique, but the visionary philosophy he shared with the crew to strive constantly for the ideal and to respect the spiritual side of life. Each chapter begins with a photo and his quote, such as, “It’s a great art, is rowing. It’s the finest art there is. It’s a symphony of motion. And when you’re rowing well, why it’s nearing perfection. And when you’re near perfection, you’re touching the Divine. It touches the you of yous. Which is your soul.” Other characters on this elaborate world stage Brown reveals are the crew coaches of the day: Tom Bolles, Al Ulbrickson and Ky Ebright—their coaching philosophies, their relationship to each other, their rivalries, losses and victories. When Ulbrickson retired in 1959, he said one of the highlights of his career was the day he put Joe Rantz in his Olympic boat for the first time and watched the boat take off. We are also taken into Nazi Germany as they prepare for the Olympics. We are given historical glimpses of key members of the Nazi Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propoganda, run by Joseph Goebbels. We learn of the brilliant Leni Riefenstahl, the first German female to produce and star in her own films. She won the affection of the Fuhrer as she produced many successful propaganda films , one which documented the massive Nazi rally at Nuremberg in 1934. Her film of the 1936 Olympics was meant to record the splendors of the Reich, but nine boys from Washington denied her a proper ending. In the author’s words, “It’s harder to imagine a starker representation of good and evil brought face-to-face than these nine American kids dressed in ragged old sweatshirts and mismatched shorts racing against regimented blonde oarsman in crisp white uniforms with swastikas on their chests.” Back to Brown’s thoughts after his first meeting with Joe Rantz. “As more of his story unfolded I began to see the elements of a great tale there—intense competition amongst individuals, bitter rivalry between schools, a boy left alone in the world (Joe), a fiercely demanding coach, a wise mentor, a love interest, even an evil stepmother… and the climax of the story played out on an enormously dramatic stage—the 1936 Olympics, under the gaze of Hitler himself. What more could a story teller ask for?” As a reader, I don’t think we could have asked for more. And I, who knew zero about crewing, now have a tremendous respect for the sport. With Father’s Day approaching, this might be just the perfect gift for someone who loves a gripping tale.

Prop. 403 Road Improvement Projects Underway in Munds Park 17065 Teal Place A very busy construction season is now underway in Munds Park. Coconino County is investing approximately $2 million in two major Roads Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects funded by Proposition 403, the County’s Road Maintenance Sales Tax that was approved by voters last November. These projects include the Pinewood Boulevard Reconstruction Project and the Munds Wash Bridge Repair Project. Pinewood Boulevard Reconstruction Project The $1.5 million Pinewood Boulevard Reconstruction Project broke ground earlier this month. The project’s contractor, Fann Contracting Inc. is milling up the old section of Pinewood Boulevard from I-17 to the Munds Wash Bridge and will soon be installing a new base and asphalt overlay. Some curb repair along the construction corridor also is part of this project. The Pinewood Boulevard Reconstruction Project is scheduled for completion by mid- to late-July. Traffic control will be in place along the construction corridor. Pinewood Boulevard will remain open to traffic throughout construction and is expected to be paved prior to the Fourth of July Parade. For more information about this project, please visit the County’s project web page at www.coconino.az.gov/PinewoodBlvdCIP. Munds Wash Bridge Repair Project The second local Prop. 403-funded road improvement project is for the Munds Wash Bridge. The Munds Wash Bridge Repair Project includes replacement of the bridge deck and existing railing and the addition of a guard rail on the approach side of the bridge. The bridge deck repair is being done one lane at a time so as to keep the bridge open to traffic throughout construction. The project's contractor, J. Banicki Construction, Inc. has completed demolition of the westbound portion of the bridge and is installing the new bridge deck for this section. The $425,000 project is scheduled for completion in July. More information about this project is available at: www.coconino.az.gov/MundsWashBridgeCIP. Both of these Prop. 403-funded CIP projects represent long-term investments by Coconino County to address deteriorating pavement and improve the safety of County roads in Munds Park. However, completing them during our very short construction season will require a significant amount of work during the next few months. Construction work is primarily being conducted Monday through Thursday. However, weather conditions or other unforeseen factors might require that some work be done outside this schedule so that these projects can be finished on time. The safety of Munds Park residents and construction crews remains the County’s top priority during this busy construction season. As our seasonal population grows with the return of summertime residents, it is especially important to be safe and aware of traffic control and construction operations in our neighborhood! The County apologizes for any inconvenience that construction might cause Munds Park residents and asks for your continued patience and cooperation as they work to improve our roads. If you have any questions about these projects, then please contact Public Works at (928) 679-8300 or via email at countyroadsinfo@coconino.az.gov NOW $229,000! Spacious home with a great new front and back deck, new carpet and paint, very open floor plan. Master has its own bath and vanity area. Master bedroom has arcadia door to covered patio. Second Bedroom also has arcadia door access to covered patio. Kitchen is updated. Super observation deck off the second floor. Large loft acts as third bedroom and has numerous windows and lots of light. Fenced back yard with varieties of trees. Plenty of parking space.

June 8, 2015 Pinewood News 47 MUNDS PARK COMMUNITY CHURCH UPDATE www.mpcchurch.com by Mac Jett THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JOY AND HAPPINESS Don't get me wrong...both joy and happiness are good, but one lasts forever and one is fleeting. That's why, even though Webster uses one to define the other, the dictionary definition is not complete enough. Specifically, the dictionary defines happiness as: “favored by circumstances, lucky or fortunate, showing or causing a feeling of great pleasure, joy...and it defines joy as a very glad feeling, happiness, delight. Guess which one is fleeting. The Bible has a different take on these two words. The Bible teaches that happiness is fleeting because it depends on things outside of ourselves (Genesis 30:1-13 and Deuteronomy 24:5). But joy (which comes from the word rejoice) is eternal because it is based on our relationship with Jesus which in itself is the source of joy. The book of Philippians is a great study of what joy really means. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! The word “testament” (i.e. Old Testament and New Testament) means covenant or contract. Dogs are mentioned 14 times in the Bible, and lions 55 times, but domestic cats are not mentioned at all. Oh, well. Psalm 118 verse 8 is in the center of the Bible: "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man." That seems really appropriate. Paul wrote the most books in the New Testament...14 in all. However, Luke wrote the most words. IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT SUMMER Returning friends and neighbors signal the beginning of all of the summer activities at MPCC. Here are a few of them...and when they meet: Women's Bible Study—Tuesdays at 10am at the church. Men's Bible Study—Tuesdays at 7pm at the church. Ladies Fellowship—meets on the third Saturday each month. Their next meeting will be on Saturday, June 20th at 10:30am at the church. Vacation Bible School—Monday, June 15th through Friday, June 19th. There's still time to register your children or grandchildren for this much anticipated yearly event. VBS is for all children 3-11 and there is no charge. Registration forms are available at the Post Office and are picked up daily. This year Sue Naff is the Director and the theme is “Camp Kilimanjaro”...it's going to be great! Our new pastor, Steve Bowyer, and the Board of Elders have big plans for summer activities this year...yes, it will be a busy, busy summer at MPCC. 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 environment, 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 consider joining us. We would love to see you at any, or all, of our weekly activities.
