THE END OF AN ERA
Cis Haines
It appears to be the end of a
wonderful tradition in
MountainBrook Village. For
twelve years both Bob and Joan
Archer have been captains of the
light show in our Village. Like
Santa and his elves, they are tired
and they will retire from this
project at the end of this holiday
season. It is hard to express how
much we appreciate all their work.
Thank you does not seem to cover
it. They did all the planning, they
purchased all the lights, they
tested all the lights, they recruited
all the volunteers, directed the
volunteers and gave a lot of time
and effort to make our Village
shine during the holiday. Enjoy the
lights, take your friends and
family on a tour of our beautiful
lights and remember to thank Joan
and Bob for their twelve years of
dedication and hard work.

Do You Know
Sue Wright
The Board of Directors met on Tuesday,
November 13, 2012, in the Superstition
Center. All of the Board members were
present for the meeting
Steering Committee Reports:
• Activity Committee: Very active again
now that the winter season is upon us. Many
compliments to the committee for the
presentation of the Neighborhood Feud game
Terri Robles has resigned from the committee
due to health reasons, and Chair Claudia
Vaughn proposed the name of Ann Glaus to
fill that vacancy. The Board passed on the
motion for the recommendation. Terri was
thanked for her service and dedication to the
Activity committee.
• Architectural Committee: Don Wagner
and Ralph Krueger have resigned from the
Architectural Committee after years of service.
Chair Al Lehman recommended replacing
them with Bill Pritchard as Vice Chair and
Leonard Schroeder as member. The Board
passed on the motion for the recommendation.
Both Don and Ralph were thanked for their
years of service on the committee and to the
community.
• Budget and Finance: Chair Sue Wright
announced the budget is complete and a copy
of the budget will be sent to each homeowner
with their January Statement. There will be an
increase in the yearly assessment of $50.00 or
$25.00 each six months or $4.16 per month.
The last increase in assessment was 2009
• Buildings and Grounds: The five year
plan will be presented to the Board of
Directors at the workshop on November 28,
2012
• Communications Committee: Donna
Whalen, Secretary, explained the committee’s
choice for the new web team design company,
“Seen Best”. After discussion, a motion was
made to accept this company and the motion
passed. A new web team leader for MBV will
be announced soon.
• Volunteer Committee: Chair Dawn
Wagner requested the board consider LuAnn
Oakley to fill the vacancy on the steering
committee. The motion passed and LuAnn
was welcomed to the committee.
President’s Report:
Bob Meinecke discussed the vision
statement and the mission statements for
MountainBrook Village. The vision statement
has been in effect for some time.
We work to improve the quality of life for
our members and to enhance the value of the
Village
We strive to provide an attractive
community for members, guests and future
homeowners.
We provide a full range of recreational
activities for the enjoyment of our members.
We provide these services and maintain our
common property at dues levels to appeal to
most members.
We consistently use our most diligent
efforts to establish and maintain a sense of
community for all members.
Bob asked for a motion to accept the
mission statement. The motion passed. The
Vision Statement for Mountain Brook Village:
"A scenic community with open spaces and
a variety of amenities and activities that create
a friendly and enjoyable lifestyle."
The storm damage to the washes of Eagle
Rock was discussed. An official statement
from Pinal County still has not been received.
An engineering company gave the BOD an
estimate on addressing the washes that were
affected by the September storm. David
Jones was asked to get two more bids before a
decision can be made.
Bob Meinecke discussed the bylaws for the
organization. He explained the difficulty the
board has on purchasing capital
improvements for the Village with the
restriction of $10,000.00 as stated in the
bylaws. If any item, such as a stage curtain, is
to be purchased over the $10.000.00 limit,
then that purchase must be approved by the
residents of the village. This takes time and
money to hold this type of election. He
suggested that instead of having a capital
equipment line item on the budget, the bylaws
be changed so every Board will be limited to
5% of the annual assessment each year. After
discussion, a motion to amend the bylaws
regarding the $10.000 limit to 5% of the
annual assessment was made and passed. This
amendment will be on the March ballot for
resident approval. Two thirds of the residents
voting must approve this change to the
bylaws.
Managers’ Report: All of the new sink
faucets have been installed in the Superstition
Building bathrooms. The new ice maker has
been installed in the Sunset Room. Recycle
revenue of $560.00 was distributed to the
Boys and Girls Club. There will be
notifications of January statements by E-mail
and Phone blasts. Any residents who have not
signed up for this service are urged to come to
the office and sign up. A notice will also be
posted on the Web Site.
David Jones explained the electronic tablet
system that is being proposed for the Board of
Directors use. This system will secure all
information as well as save money in printing
and paper. He will get a sample and train all
BOD members on the use, and then a decision
will be made at a later date.
The air conditioning problem in the
Superstition Building kitchen was postponed
until February.
Mike Worthy has volunteered to head the
elections group for 2013. The proposed
election procedure was presented to the Board,
and after some minor clarification changes, it
was accepted. Ralph and Dianna Krueger
were thanked for their dedication to the
elections for a number of years and to Dianna
for helping write the new procedure. Bob
Meinecke asked all residents interested in
serving on the Board of Directors to get an
application at the office.

From the Editor THE COLOR “MUD”
Cis Haines
This month we had a great
time presenting the TV game,
The Neighborhood Feud. It
was so great to hear all the laughter and see
the smiling faces. It started when the six
guys in black spoofed our high-tech curtain
and the contestants were so into the game,
the audience could not help but enjoy the
evening. The $20,000 and new car prizes
were not bad either. Our challenge is
always, how do we do better the next
time? And how do we get more people
to fit in the Superstition Center? We
will put our thinking caps on and
let you know the plans soon.
Meanwhile enjoy all the fun
activities planned for the
season ahead.

Several years ago when I was living in Nampa, Idaho, I decided to paint my house. I
perused home improvement magazines, got paint sample brochures from stores and
spent hours driving through various neighborhoods picking out favorite color
combinations. When the deed was done, my son stood in the front yard looking at the
results. He has a way with words and of cutting to the core of the matter. He said,
“Congratulations, Mom. It’s not brown. It’s not gray. It’s mud.”
The color was actually a very trendy taupe with an even trendier name I’ve since
forgotten. It was set off by a brightly painted raspberry-colored door that I loved. I still
do. The subsequent owners haven’t changed either color; the “mud” or the raspberry
door.
I relate this story about paint color as I’ve been hearing a lot about the new paint
colors at MBV. Everyone seems to have an opinion. For the record, I like them. Also
for the record, I wasn’t on the committee or team that picked them.
Here’s why I like them. The terra cotta color picks up the color from the tile roof; the
desert green matches the nearby trees, bushes and cactus while the base color fits the
natural color of the surrounding hillsides. All complement each other.
If you don’t agree, that’s okay. There is something you can do about it. Board
elections are upon us. You can run for office and become part of the change. Express
your opinion, sit on a committee, volunteer, and make a difference. If you don’t, this is
what can happen. You can end up with someone like me making a decision for you.
Remember, I’m the one who chose to paint my house the color of “mud.” Now that
should give you a reason to reconsider.

If you should hear of someone who has

@ 288-8011. Thank you.
Our very own MountainBrook Follies is a
perfect way to start the New Year. We hope
you already have your reserved tickets but if
you don’t, come into the office and get yours
now. The tickets are only $8.00 each. You will
enjoy sitting at cabaret style tables; you can
even bring snacks and drinks to the show
which starts at 7 p.m. on Friday, January 11
and again on Saturday, January 12. The doors
will open at 6:30.
We promise fun, laughter and maybe a tear.
Variety is on tap and there is not one single big
name entertainer. As Ed Sullivan used to say,
“It’s a really big show”. If you are new to
MountainBrook, the Follies is our big variety
show which stars our very own residents, but
we need you to be there too. See you there!
I’ve never much been one for rules. It always seemed like when it came to drawing a
line in the sand, they drew it right in front of me and in the direction I was heading. In
other words, it was someone else’s rule meant to thwart me. I figured my rules were as
good as theirs. They could keep theirs, I’d follow mine. You can see the dilemma.
One simple rule that always bothered me was “Keep off the Grass.” Well then, why
bother planting it? This just irked me to no end. In high school we had a campus-style
setting with sidewalks connecting buildings around grassy open space which no one was
ever allowed to step on let alone use. Twenty five years later when I returned to
substitute teach there, students were eating their lunches or just sprawling on the grass
enjoying the noon sunshine. I took guilty pleasure in belatedly stepping off the cold,
hard sidewalk and onto the soft, welcoming grass.
Still I recognize the need for rules. In my own classroom we had one rule; Respect
Yourself and Respect Others. Over the years I repeatedly found it covered every
situation a seventh grader could conceive. Too many rules just encouraged the more
creative to invent ways around them. I know because I was one of those kids.
Remember, I kinda have my own internal set of rules.
So it was with some trepidation that I approached the topic of the Pool Rules at MBV.
It seems to me rules should be in place for a couple of reasons: safety and enjoyment of
the facilities. So I read the Rules. They are posted on the fence. They are in the new
resident packet given to each incoming homeowner. There is a brochure in the office
titled “Be a Good Neighbor, Obey the Pool Policy”. They are online at the MBV
website. But if a recap would help, here they are in my own words: Respect Yourself
and Respect Others. Oh, and one more. Follow the posted pool rules! They are there
for your safety and enjoyment as well as the safety and enjoyment of our guests. I’ll just
add one more. Keep off the grass. See it’s really easy.

A BEARY MERRY
CHRISTMAS
Peggy Malsom
Recently I found a checklist from our
first year at MountainBrook V illage. I had
even given it a title; Getting ready for the
Holidays at MBV:
Sign up for Christmas lights tour to
Prescott
Buy Christmas dinner dance tickets
Sign up to set out luminaries
Order our luminaries
Sign up Dennis to help put up lights
Attend Ken & Kathy’s after concert
dessert party
Buy Christmas tree
That final one hasn’t always been an
easy task. We lived in Alaska for five
years. You would think Alaska would have
awesome trees. Think again.
Washington has awesome
trees. Oregon has awesome
trees. Most of Alaska is too
cold for too long. Our
first year there, my
daughter and I picked
out what we thought
was the best one on
6
the lot. After six years in Alabama we
couldn’t wait to have a big, tall beautiful
northwest tree to decorate. We packed it
home in our white Subaru which is actually
another story for another time. White
car/white snow/use your imagination for
now.
We dug out the Christmas decorations
and located the tree stand we had used for
years. Only then did we discover that the
tree trunk was about ten times too large to
fit any normal-sized stand. We started
cutting and trimming the tree trunk to fit.
What we were left with was a Charlie
Brown tree with gaping holes between the
branches. All of the luxurious, beautiful
branches had been sacrificed along with
the too large trunk. The ornaments only
accentuated the glaring holes and gaps.
In desperation I told the kids to go get
their stuffed animals, especially the bears.
After all, I figured, we were in Alaska.
Real moose were in our front yard eating
leaves, twigs and our shrubs while bear
scat fertilized our back yard. We would
do a theme Christmas tree. We hung
animals from branches and stuffed
bears into cave-like holes. At the top
we even replaced the usual angel with
a Steiff bear that year. It was the
worst tree I’ve ever bought and it received
the most compliments of any tree I’ve ever
decorated. Desperate times call for
desperate measures.
I’m a little nervous about buying a
Christmas tree in Arizona. Do you have
any suggestions about where to find a nice
8’ Noble fir with a slim trunk? Hmm,
maybe we’ll find one when we drive up to
Prescott to see the Christmas lights. Too
bad we don’t have that old white Subaru.
Then we could head up to snowy Flagstaff
to cut our own. No, that’s how we lost that
car the first time. Maybe we’ll just string
some lights on the saguaro out front and
call it good for this year. I think there’s a
stuffed bear on the shelf in the second
bedroom that should fit nicely in the crook
of its arm.
MURDER IN
MOUNTAINBROOK
Bill Wash
Marsha is addicted to reading sleazy
mystery novels. So, when Marsha
overhears her husband, Tobias's
conversation with Persis, Marsha assumes
that Persis is Tobias's new girlfriend and
they are plotting to do her in. Feeling
alone and vulnerable, Marsha seeks the
aid of her naive next door neighbor, Virgil
Baxter, for protection and to help her turn
the tables on Tobias and Persis. And, so
the comedic plots begin to twist and
thicken.
Actors in the play are Karen Carnahan,
Shirley Renstrom, Cathy Longman, Barb
Stuart, Mike Worthy, Bill Wash and
Parker Shipley. Play dates are February 28
- March 3, 2013. Tickets for Let’s Murder
Marsha, a hilarious comedy, will go on
sale on January 15, 2013, at Tuesday
Morning Coffee and News and will be
available for purchase in the Activity
Office every day thereafter. Tickets are
still only $10.00 each for reserved seats
which means you can select your seat

your seat selections early.

Dear Amy
Dear Amy:
Why is it that people
who complain the
loudest do the least
work? Anyone who
accuses you of
cheating would only do so themselves? How
about criticizing and complaining? It seems to
me you should only be allowed to do that
when you contribute and help with solutions.
Since when has a please and thank you gone
out of style?
Signed: Tired of Hearing it
Dear Hearing it:
My mother taught me years ago that
“Cheaters never win and winners never cheat.”
It can sometimes appear that a cheater benefits,
but remember that your character is
determined by what you do when no one is
watching. As for complainers, I once worked
at a job where you weren’t allowed to
complain unless you also furnished a solution
to the problem. So the next time you hear a
complaint, try to respond with, “And your
solution would be….”
FYI: I try to avoid people who constantly
criticize me. They are generally unhappy and
just plain wrong. They are also probably
cheaters. Please try to have a nice day. Thank
you for writing.
Dear Amy:
I like to go to Whine & Cheese, but I bring
my own wine and don’t eat the cheese. Do I
still have to pay $1.00?
Signed: BYOB no C
Dear BYOB no C:
The $1.00 donation purchases the cheese,
grapes, apples or whatever the snack is for
Whine and Cheese. It is a token amount so
people can enjoy a treat with their wine. I
personally think that adds to the ambiance and
enjoyment of the event. The donation,
however, is strictly on a voluntary basis.
Dear Amy:
The November Ethnic Dinner was a
delicious, 7-course Chinese meal served al
fresco at the Jade Grill in Superior. Since we
lived in Asia, we are very particular. Kudos to
whoever chose this restaurant.
At the end of the meal, however, we played
a game neither my wife nor I had ever played.
After opening the fortune cookies, participants
took turns reading them aloud then adding the
words “between the sheets.” For example, In
December, 2012
the end all things will be known…between the
sheets. Or this one, If you can’t decide up or
down try moving from side to side…between
the sheets. I’m not making this up. These
were real fortunes.
I’ll have to admit we all laughed, but it was
pretty silly. Have you ever heard of this game?
Signed: Sweet & Sour
Dear Sweet (or are you Sour?):
Not only have I heard of this game, in my
youth I played it. Before X-boxes and
computers, kids and young adults played
“parlor games” like the one you describe.
Remember charades, twenty questions,
tiddlywinks or the Ouija board? Parlor games
were from the Victorian era and seem pretty
innocent compared to some modern computer
games. I’m sorry your youthful adventures
didn’t include such frivolity, but better late than
never.
I’ve also eaten at the Jade Grill and second
your recommendation. For those who haven’t,
find it on Highway 60 in Superior or first visit
their website jadegrillasianbbq.com for
directions. Telephone #520-689-2885, closed
Monday & Tuesday. It is worth the scenic
drive. Try the food then try adding “between
the sheets” to your fortune. Some are funnier
than others (see above examples), so let me
know how it worked out for you.

Dr. Mary Stokrocki’s
Real Life
Peggy Malsom
Suppose for a minute that you suffered a
brain injury making it impossible to do
simple things. Your life would change
and your world would shrink
dramatically. MountainBrook Village
resident Dr. Mary Stokrocki offers an
alternative to people dealing with loss,
disabilities or suffering with depression
by providing a supportive online
environment. This combination of art
and technology is called Second Life.
Mary created Second Life as an
“artful place that can heal sadness and
loss.” She states that “everyone has
some disability…” then provides a
framework in which art is created and
showcased. Since the computer makes
this easily adaptable, it allows “the
disabled to do similar things to the abled”
while socializing and having fun thus adding
to their quality of life.
Mary has spent a great deal of time
exploring Art and Spirituality in Second Life
where people are developing “not only new
forms of art, but new forms of living.”
Additionally, she has created the more
9
practical Second Life Medical, Ethical and
Educational Implications. She calls it a
“Good place to start: Online support for
healing.” She continues to explain, “Second
Life is one of 60 virtual worlds where avatars
build businesses, network, take courses, make
art and entertain each other. Everything is
made by them.” In case you missed the
movie, an avatar is “a digital persona that you
can create and customize. It’s you – only in 3D.”
That should be enough to fill anyone’s
agenda, but Mary isn’t just anyone. She is a
Professor of Art at Arizona State University
and a distinguished Fulbright Scholar. Last
summer this prestigious scholarship paid for
Stocks • Mutual funds • Bonds • Government securities
Tax-Advantaged bonds • CDs • Money market funds • IRAs
...and much more.

her transportation, room and board to teach at
the National Chiayu University in Taiwan.
Besides her undergraduate and graduate
classes, Mary was invited to speak at four
universities.
While teaching in Taiwan, Mary had the
opportunity to present the benefits of Second
Life to a group of fifty physicians.
Pretend you are a doctor with a patient
who is nervous about a procedure such
as radiation therapy or a stress test. You
could refer that patient to Second Life
where s/he could role play the
procedure and alleviate the anxiety.
Second Life also offers an ethics
discussion forum with links to topical
issues such as long-term care,
HIV/AIDS and human organ
transplantation.
Mary hopes to empower people by
teaching them through technology. In
the virtual world there are no restrictions
or limitations. This type of learning is a huge
step beyond the traditional classroom.
Additionally, the virtual world of Second Life
is especially appealing to the disabled
because “when you are disabled in real life,
you aren’t disabled in Second Life.” Her
ground-breaking work for Second Life has
brought her national and international
recognition. And that’s in her real life.

Mountain Quilters at
MountainBrook have
been very busy this year
creating for our local
charities. We made 53
quilts and 92
pillowcases which were
donated to the Hope
Women's Center and
CAAFA (Community Alliance Against
Family Abuse). Also, this year we made
39 placemats to be distributed by Meals
on Wheels for their Thanksgiving meal
distribution. We are a small group with
big hearts. We love quilting and feel
that through our donations we are
spreading this love and bringing
comfort to those who need it most.

A Sneak Peek at the
Canyon Art Festival
Bob Homann
The 13th annual Canyon Arts Festival
sponsored by the Gold Canyon Arts Council
will be held on Saturday, January 26 from 9
am to 4 pm on the grounds of the United
Methodist Church on King’s Ranch Rd. Last
year, we were amazed as attendance ballooned
unexpectedly to 6,700, almost double that of
the previous year, probably due to beautiful
weather and great publicity from the media.
Many of the artists reported their sales were
very good and some say this is the best one
day art show in the state. Attendees loved the
musical entertainment arranged by Artistic
Director Jack Kukuk.
This year, we have a comprehensive
Traffic/Parking Plan developed in cooperation
with Pinal County Special Events and the
PCSO which we believe is going to smooth
out some of the delay in getting cars parked
and people into the Festival. That said, it is
still quite a challenge to move traffic efficiently
given the layout of our roads and the surge of

6:30 pm and the show begins at 7 pm. Tickets
are on sale now and cost is only $8.
1,000 cars arriving in a short time window
so we do anticipate some delays on US 60
and on King’s Ranch Rd. even with the
plan in place. If you can, come to the
Festival from the north rather than the south
or by walking over. And since the crowds
thin out quite a bit by 1-2 pm, consider
coming in the afternoon.
We are reducing the number of artist
spots from 100 to 85 to allow more width in
the aisles that parallel King’s Ranch Rd.
and widening the aisle leading west to the
food court. This should make access to the
artist booths easier. Artistic Director Jack
Kukuk is arranging another stellar line up of
musical performers that you will enjoy
including some favorites returning from past
festivals. A new feature will be a medical
station staffed by two AJFD EMTs for the
duration of the event in case of medical
emergencies. Finally, we are adding more
food vendors so there should be less waiting in
line for food and beverages.
A beautiful new festival poster by local
artist Sue Anne Dickey will be available for
purchase. Sales of the poster help underwrite

Artist of the Month
Jerry Skow
Jerry Skow makes
beautiful stained wood
pictures. Jerry, his wife
JoAnn and son Jason are
originally from Illinois and
moved to MBV four years
ago. Jerry started making
stained wood pictures as a
hobby. The wood pieces are
on long boards and laser cut
when they arrive at his home.
Jerry numbers each piece,
sometimes over 150 pieces
per picture. He custom stains
each piece, assembles the
pieces by starting at the top and working down to make the picture. Each piece
is glued onto a cardboard and then the entire picture is put into a frame. Each
picture takes approximately 40-50 hours to complete.
