FIVE QUESTIONS FOR THE CANDIDATES & THEIR ANSWERS
Do you support the 5-year plan in its
current format? How do you plan to
ensure the continuation/implementation
of the 5-year plan?
Cavoto: I applaud the 5 year committee
for their diligent work and as with any plan
there should be room for changes. We
need to listen to the homeowners and let
majority rule.
Walworth: I have not reviewed the
5-year plan, so am not familiar with its
format. When given a chance to review it,
I will give my input as required to support
it or support its change as required.
911-HELP
Sue Wright
Oh no, what do I do? I need help!! Where
do I find help when I’m on the campus?
TA DA!! There is help available. In
any true emergency on campus there is
help only a phone call away. 911 phones
are in EVERY building plus there are
AEDS (automatic electronic defibrillator)
available in specific locations. Let’s review
locations:
Activity Center dial; 911 phones at the
front desk and an AED on North wall of
library.
Sunset Center: Dial 911 phone at desk and
AED on west wall as you enter.
Superstition Center: Dial 911 phone in
sound booth and AED in sound booth as well.
Mesquite Center: Dial 911 phone in
Mesquite room and push button 911 phones
in both bathhouses.
Ocotillo Center: Push button 911 phone
in Fitness Center and dial phone and AED
in entrance hall.
If at any time there is an emergency,
use the phone closest to the emergency
location and report the location address
by reading the sign above the phone.
The most important thing you can do is
STAY CALM; help is just a phone call
away.
Each board member is a liaison
to one of the standing committees in
MBV. Which committee do you feel you
are most qualified to serve on and why?
Cavoto: Architecture.
I want
our community to have continued
beautification and property value.
Walworth: I am currently a volunteer
on the Buildings and Grounds committee
and feel best qualified with my engineering
and planning background to be a liaison to
that committee.
Understanding that MBV operates a
full twelve months each year, how do you
intend to be responsible and participate
in all meetings and unforeseen
circumstances?
Peter Cavoto
Wayne W. Walworth
Cavoto: We are full time residents. I am
a golfer and we do take vacations, so my
cell phone and computer will be with me.
Walworth: I will use a phone contact for
the meetings when out of state or give my
proxy vote to another board member.

Diana Jensen is our new Editor
I am very excited to be the
new editor of our wonderful
Mountaineer. My husband Chuck and I
moved from Illinois in 2013
and to beautiful MountainBrook
in 2014. I spent 24 years with
an investment firm, retiring in
2004. My second career began
in 2009 when I opened a bakery
with my daughter. Both were
wonderful experiences, but I
don’t have to tell you that being retired is
the best experience of all. But, now it’s back
to semi-retirement. I will gladly take the
challenge of keeping up the high standards
that the previous Editors have established
to make the Mountaineer a newsletter that
you look forward to receiving
every month. Please help our
staff by sending us ideas for
future articles. Remember
to type them in Times New
Roman 11 and email them to
our new (and hopefully last)
email address mountaineer@
m o u n t a i n b ro o k v i l l a g e .
org. OK, I know that’s a long
one, but once you type it, it
will stay in your computer’s
memory for future use. I’m looking forward
to working with, and getting to know, a lot
more of my MountainBrook neighbors.
Here’s to a great 2016 and GO CUBS!

Community Corner
Burman and the Communications Committee to provide a building
block for the Community’s digital future. The first phase will be to take
the 30,000 Community documents and develop a structured approach to
managing this information as we move forward.
As I reflect on 2015, I think you will agree—all the year’s changes
have accelerated the transition and modernization of our Community.
We balanced our budget; completed the Mesquite Center remodel;
rebuilt the Entrance Fountain plumbing; established annual plans
for wash maintenance; completed the Community survey to give us
homeowner feedback; established the timetable and financial plans for
future remodels; brought in new and seasoned FirstService Residential
staff to raise your standard of service; and increased the number of
premiere events.
We know that we can count on you for ongoing Volunteer support. Your
Board looks forward to your ideas and suggestions as MountainBrook
continues to grow and change.
Thank you for your feedback!

President's Corner
I am sure you are enjoying all the events and
activities this winter! The Activity Committee
and Jennifer McGraw have certainly done a
fantastic job in providing us with many firstclass choices this season.
Many of you will have friends and family
joining you and many seasonal renters have
arrived. I wanted to remind you the pool hours for children are posted
and need to be respected.
On the business side, we are wrapping up this Board’s term and
focusing on working with Peter Cavoto and Wayne Walworth to ensure
they have the tools, training and resources to get them off to a quick start.
We have reviewed the architect’s preliminary drawings and once
they have been finalized we will request quotes from Global Protection
Services. Once the Ocotillo remodel project has been approved by the
Board, we are hoping that permitting will be completed quickly and
construction can start in May.
On the strategic planning front, we are working closely with Rick

Barbara Burley to be your Front
Office Community
Coordinator!
It’s Official! I am happy to say that
I have been hired by First Service
Residential to be your Front Office
Community Coordinator. To all of
you who have been so supportive and
encouraging since I started in midSeptember…. THANK YOU! To the
rest of you, I am looking forward to
meeting and assisting you the best I can.
So a little about me. My name is Barbara Burley and I have
been married to a great guy, Mark, for almost 23 years now. We
have 2 beautiful children, Shawn who is 21, and Samantha who is
18 and will be graduating from Desert Ridge HS in May. This is
my 3rd and last time back in the valley. We have lived in AZ for
a combined total of 10 years and counting. I am originally from
Rochester, NY, and my husband is from Tacoma, WA. We have
lived in both states and enjoy AZ so much more. Don’t miss the
snow OR the rain.
I am very much a people person and I enjoy helping, comforting
and encouraging others. I am very customer orientated and have
years of experience within this field, as well as, the hospitality
industry. I am looking forward to assisting each of you to the best
of my ability and helping the Lifestyle Director, Jennifer McGraw,
to make your experience here at MountainBrook Village the best
it can be!

Just when you thought that the fountain monument redo was
finished we want you to know there is more to come. With the redesign
and refurbishing of the fountain, the rocks, planting and grading were
changed. However, we do have a plan. Redesign addresses the area
closest to the fountain. In the next couple months a new sprinkler
system, lighting, rocks and plants will be installed to enhance our
entrance fountain.
In order for any community to retain value, appearance and
amenities must be current to meet ongoing owner’s needs and meet
modern standards. An example is our new home paint colors. We are
not tearing down and starting new, but using as much as possible to
contain cost.
There were three goals to address the plantings in the area besides the
decision to not use additional red yucca, lantana or yellow barrel cactus
or overplant. The three goals were economy, emphasis and education.
To address economy, existing plants are moved to new locations
where possible. Plants chosen are low water usage, low maintenance
and a limited number to not have overgrowth.
To address the emphasis; the newly renovated monument and
waterfall, plants and rock are to accent the colors and be contained
close to the monument. Lighting will be focused on the monument.
Rock color is to coordinate with the tile colors of the monument.
To address education, different plants are being used. Plant size
is to show growth time, not over planting requiring later removal.
Desert milkweed is a butterfly and hummer attracter, suggested by
the Monarch society. Twin flowered agave (resistant to agave snout
weevil) and slipper flower plants both have red accents, as does the
red barrel to attract hummers and give architectural interest. New
ground cover of trailing dalea and blackfoot daisy will show owners
some choices other than lantana. Blue bells require less trimming than
sage and look very similar.
The design and plants will soon be up on the website for your perusal.

Caring Corner
Questions for the Candidates...
cont'd
Arlene Pytko, Caring Corner Chairman
Illness: Ron Hofmeister
In Memory:
What is it you find most favorable about MountainBrook
Village? Do you participate in any of the MBV activities?
How do you keep informed about MBV?
Cavoto: More activities than we have time to participate
in and the friendliness of the people. Pickle Ball, Golf,
Socials, Supper Clubs, and Suzy participates in many more
like Bridge.
Walworth: I like the setting of MBV and the organized
activities. I participate in many activities and attend the
Tuesday morning coffee and news regularly for the latest
information.
Outside of what you have told us in your biography,
what special talent or experience do you possess that you
believe would make you an excellent addition to the Board
of Directors?
Cavoto: With 17 moves we want to make MountainBrook
our best. I was Regional Director for Emerson Corporation of
the Midwest Territory, supervising and coordinating 22 plus
sales people and representatives. Also managed a regional
technical center in the Chicago Suburbs.
Walworth: I have many years of engineering,
manufacturing, planning and management experience at GM.
I have run a HOA board of sixty units for two years in Florida
which included completion of a reserve study for that HOA.

VILLAGE VOICES

The MountainBrook Village Voices Choir announce their Spring
Concert theme as ENCORE, ENCORE. Director, Patty Sobek, has
selected favorite songs from the choir’s last ten years performances
that have entertained their audiences to applause and ovations. Thus,
each song will be a true ENCORE. If you enjoyed previous concerts,
you’re sure to be entertained once again with old favorites and maybe
a surprise or two. Our very talented Marty Robison will accompany
the choir on the clavinova. Our charming Karen Carnahan will again
entertain as M.C. with her delightful narration. Performance dates
are March 11&12 (Friday-Saturday) beginning at 7pm. Tickets are
available at the Activity Office. Tickets are still only $8 each for
open seating and include refreshments at intermission. Tickets will
also be available at the door prior to each evening’s performance.
VILLAGE THEATRE

Theatre’s four performances of Where There’s A Will There’s A
Relative, a comedy by Roger Karshner. Vinny DePaul plays Sam
Price, a wealthy entrepreneur who recently got religion which
influenced him to change his will. Kathy Buelow plays Zelda who
reluctantly negotiates with a mobster for a scheme; Jim Mosier
plays Uncle Jerry, a calendar salesman, who desperately wants to
inherit Sam’s insurance business; Karleen Huffman plays Sally
who hopes to inherit enough money to open a chain of body-waxing
salons in addition to taunting her cousin Rudy; Dick Brennan plays
Tony Cappallini, a person of unsavory character who knows angles
and attempts to solve the family’s dilemma; Pat Hardie plays
Mildred Longnecker, a notary public who unwittingly notarizes
Tony’s scheme, making it “official”; Bill Wash plays Rudy who
wants nothing more than to inherit Sam’s townhouse for a place to
live after he marries Tony’s daughter Doris, the Garlic Queen with
big hair. Performances are February 25-28 (Thursday-Sunday)
beginning at 7pm. Reserved seating tickets are $10 and include
refreshments at intermission and are available at the Activity
Office as well as at the door prior to each evening’s performance.

Community Forum
On the second Tuesday of every month, your President
holds an open forum during or after the Coffee & News. At
this forum residents have the opportunity to ask questions
and get answers. Come join us at the Coffee & News and
bring your question or simply listen to the Q & A. Here are
some examples from January.
1. Question: I know that Debbie has done an excellent job of
reminding homeowners what the rules of the Association are.
However, with all the theft concerns we have, I don’t understand
why we can’t have ADT or other signs in our front yard to be a theft
deterrent?
Response: Thank you for your input, this is a question of balance.
As you know, the Community rules allow you to put security stickers
on your windows but not yard signs. Similar to our rules against plastic
flowers—we want to keep the homeowners front yards clear of detracting
items and have an appealing and consistent look on all our streets.
3. Question: One of our residents and maybe more drive their golf
carts while “walking” their dog. It seems a bit unsafe traveling with
a dog on a leash at high speeds, but my real issue is that one of them
has a large dog that they purposely bring to our corner mailbox to
relieve itself. With the many fire hydrants and other non-pedestrian
areas in our Community, what is the best thing for me to do when
they come around? It is very unsanitary and unnecessary.
Response: This is a difficult situation and it is an issue of
neighbors respecting one another. We agree that this mailbox stop is
inappropriate. You may want to have this article handy and show it
to them next time they attempt to “STOP BY”.
2. Question: We were unable to get tickets to Dancing with the
Stars. Although I waited in line, they were quickly all sold out. This
was very disappointing. Now I hear that someone decided not to
add more seating by simply changing the room configuration. That
seems unfair.
Response: Yes, this was a very tough decision. Dancing with
the Stars was again one of our most popular events and many of us
wanted to go but the tickets sold out quickly. It was decided to keep
the table style seating for 280 attendees because it provides attendees
with the best of both—enjoying the competitive experience of our
fellow homeowners as they vie for the championship; and sharing
this event in a neighborly round table configuration. Next year
we will not have this event—as we are scheduling the Follies for
our large event. However, Dancing with the Starts will be in our
2017-18 schedule. The present plan is to have this theater-style to
accommodate more people.
4. Question: My wife and I love the work and improvement on
the Entrance Fountain—thank you for getting this functioning again.
I notice that late at night the fountain continues to run—is there a
way to stop it late at night when the flow is not necessary?
Response: We have a timer set to stop the water late at night.
During the major changes we will be fine tuning the lighting and
water schedule for this important Community asset.

• The Architectural Committee recommendation to amend section
3.2.5 of the Architectural standards for driveways was approved.
Concrete driveways that have become substantially stained or
discolored may be coated with a finish that closely resembles the
appearance of natural concrete. Homeowners requesting this must
be able to show proof of the staining or discoloration. The coating
must be a matte or satin finish; no glossy finishes or other colors will
be allowed. Once coated, the driveway coating must be maintained
and/or recoated as necessary to maintain a uniform appearance, or the
coating must be removed. Driveways painted or coated prior to July
28, 2009 with prior Architectural Committee approval must either
continue to be maintained as originally approved, be coated to meet
current Architectural Standards, or the paint coating must be removed.
• The Budget and Finance Committee processes were approved.
Tami and the Budget and Finance Committee were complemented on
their excellent documentation.
• The recommendation for the Community Manager to review the
possibility of bundling our $30,000 in communications expenses
(CenturyLink Wi-Fi, Direct TV, Sprint cell phones, conference calling
and phone service) was approved.
• The Board approved Buildings and Grounds recommendation
for the Community Manager to obtain legal interpretation on NAOS
(Natural Area Open Space). This review will allow the Board to
determine what obligation the Community has for NAOS maintenance.
•The Board approved the $800 expenditure in Operations for Coy to
clean up Crested Saguaro after the recent heavy rains. Silt and debris
had clogged some culverts and covered part of the roadway.

Meeting Highlights
The Board meeting was called to order by President Gene Prescott.
All six members were present: Paul Kranig, Director; Ron Olm,
Director; Rick Peters, Director; Gene Prescott, President; Leonard
Schroeder, Vice President; and Jerry Stevenson, Secretary.
Prior to approving the Consent agenda, Rick Peters provided an
overview of the utilization of the 4 treadmills which showed the peak
period at 9:00 am.
Gene reported that the major Board focus is to finalize the Ocotillo
plans and budget so the remodel can be started before summer.
There were 18 Community members at the January 23 review of the
preliminary architectural plans.
Tami Tack gave the Treasurer’s report as of 12/31/15. At the end of
the year we have a $50,373 Operations surplus. The annual audit is
upcoming. There were 93 homes sold this year adding $23,250 to the
Future Development Fund. This compares to 82 homes in 2014.
Rick Burman, Community Manager, reported that the west pool
cover is broken and cannot be retracted. This is being repaired as a
top priority. The FOB communications system migration is nearing
completion. There was some discussion whether the new FOB system
was interfering with Wi-Fi performance. The two are unrelated. The
FOB system has its own direct communications links.
The Board approved the following motions.
• The pool rail covers will be replaced by HD Supply for $1458 from
General Reserves.
• In phase 2 of the entrance fountain landscaping project, Coy will
install a drip system, add screened rock and add plants to complete
the Entrance Fountain landscaping. The $8,517 will be paid from
Operations.
• The Future Development written consent approval will be sent to
Homeowners in early May.
• The 5-Year Committee was moved from an Ad Hoc Committee to
a full standing Committee.
• The Committee Chairs and Steering Committee members were
approved: Activities (Claudia Vaughn); Architecture (Leonard
Schroeder and Bill Pritchard); Budget and Finance (Tami Tack);
Buildings & Grounds (Larry England); Communications (Chris
Bukovac); Five Year Planning (Keith Charpentier); and Plan and
Design (Sue Wright).
• Diana Jensen was welcomed as the new editor of the Mountaineer.
Barbara Sebring and Peggy Malsom were recognized for their
contributions as Editor and Assistant Editor.
• The annual MBV insurance carrier will be Labarre/Oksnee
Philadelphia. The $22,976 premium will be paid from Operations.
• The Vaddio camera controller and joystick will be provided by
Audio Visual Experts. The not-to-exceed expense of $2,800 will be
from Future Development. The system will be tested and accepted by
our A/V group before the funds are released.
• $3,100 in seed money from the Operations Social account was
approved for the Voices spring concert.
• The Board Secretary will work with the Community Manager and
recommend to the Board which Google Drive information is accessible
by the Board.
• The Board approved a temporary part time staffing increase up to 25
hours per week for FirstService Residential. This new front desk person

Artist of the Month
Don Brandenburg, a Purple Heart recipient for his active duty
in Korea in 1952, has found a hobby that he loves. Don grew up
on an Illinois farm, the oldest of four brothers. He farmed with a
brother for a few years before enlisting in the Army. He married
Glenda Conner before being deployed overseas. Returning home
several months later via Seoul, Tokyo and California, he greeted
the six month old daughter who had been born on the same day he
was wounded.
After being decommissioned from the Army, Don was lucky
enough to find work as the manager of a local grain elevator; he
later became part-owner of the elevator. Don took early retirement,
and moved to the Phoenix area with Glenda.
Dan’s parents and two brothers had also settled in the Phoenix
area. Don began to help his Dad with projects in “Grampa’s
Woodshed.” They made several novelty items and sold them at
craft fairs and swap meets. Their quality work at affordable prices
provided a small income, gave them a following, and allowed the
father and son to spend some great bonding time together before
his father’s death.
Don continues on with the woodworking tradition, but has now
simplified his items to coincide with his personal favorites that
he can work on as time allows. He makes wooden-based trivets
covered with cork in different designs that are both functional and
decorative. He receives wine corks by the dozens when he puts the
word out to his network. He sells his trivets for an amazing $10,
which is enough to pay for wood, and “keep him out of the house
for a few hours” as Glenda says. His other item is a reindeer made
out of cork and wood. Each one is unique with a painted on face,
and glued-on red puffy nose. These little cuties go like hotcakes
for a thin dollar. People tie them to wine bottles for gift-giving at
Christmas time and kids love to make herds of reindeer. Don does
this for the sheer love of using his hands to turn wood scraps into
something pleasurable and inexpensive for others.

A geless Love
in MountainBrook Vi llage
Three Stories of couples who found true love in different stages of their lives - Written by BarbHofmeister
Marlowe and Margie Urdahl have only been married 17 years but they have known
each other a long time. They grew up in and around Bozeman, Montana, and even attended
the same school for a while. Marlowe and Margie’s first husband had been best buddies during
school and after each married someone else they still continued to keep the friendship alive even
though Margie and her husband lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They would plan visits
and kept in touch. Marlowe and his wife had a home in Sun Bird Lakes and that is where they
enjoyed being winter visitors for several years until her death in 1993. It was after her death
that Marlowe purchased a home in MountainBrook to be near his favorite golf courses, but he still went back to Montana in the
summer months. Margie’s husband had died in 1989. Because they kept in touch, Marlowe had suggested that if Margie ever got
to Montana in the summer they should have lunch. So one summer 18 years ago they met for lunch. It had been a long time since
they had seen each other but Marlowe thought she’s not all that bad and Margie’s first impression O, he’s gotten older, but still
handsome. Since they knew each other, it was easy for their relationship to blossom via telephone calls and flying to meet each
other over the next five months. Margie who had been a widow for 10 years was very active in Albuquerque and was even still
working as an office manager for a dental office and she served on Crime Stoppers Board of Directors. One evening Marlowe
called her twice in one evening and again at about 11:30 and said we need to get married. Her response was you know I’m pretty
independent. I’ve been on my own for 10 years and I don’t play golf. They were married on January 2, 1999 with their children
and Margie’s brother and sister-in-law in attendance. Margie has learned to play golf and loves it. When asked what they do to
keep their love alive, Margie volunteered that they place a mushy card (love note) on each other’s
pillow each evening. They keep recycling them.
Tom and Marty Robison are both from Kansas. They met shortly after Marty started
Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia, Kansas, and Tom was starting at the Junior College
in Pratt, Kansas, which was Marty’s home town. While she was in town for a weekend, she and a
girlfriend went down town to “drag main” (in our town we called it “cruising”). The guys noticed
new faces and flagged them down. Marty and her friend got in the back seat of Tom’s car. Marty
said, “Yep, I was a pick up”. I asked Tom why he picked Marty and right away he said, “She was
the cutest”. After the weekend with both back at school, life went on and they each found others
to hang out with. A year later when Tom transferred to her college, he looked forward to hooking up with Marty but she was in a
relationship. They finally got together and were married August 25, 1963, just before their senior year. When I asked what they
saw in each other Tom said, “She was a little feisty.” They found an old house that had been turned into 3 apartments. Their cute
apartment was $55 per month. All three couples were in college, newly married and poor. They are still good friends with one
of the couples. Marty chuckled remembering, “We were so poor that when we really wanted to splurge, we’d go out and get an
ice cream cone.” After they graduated, they moved to Wichita. Marty started teaching there, and Tom did his practice teaching in
high school. He had nine weeks before he could get a teaching job so he went to work at a local bank. He stayed in banking until
changing his career to become a stockbroker. Marty taught for 3 years, got pregnant but miscarried. After that they couldn’t get
pregnant again so they adopted in 1968. She quit teaching and three years later they did get pregnant. They have two daughters
and 5 grandchildren. Their secret to a happy marriage is they never go to bed angry but right away Tom added that they don’t
really argue. “I just agree with everything she wants.” But their life hasn’t been without struggles. Four years ago Marty was
diagnosed with stage-four ovarian cancer, but thanks to Tom, her doctors, family and their strong faith she is doing well. She
said it has changed her and she is more thankful. Tom was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2015 and like Marty praises doctors,
family and faith. Since moving to MountainBrook full-time in January of 2003 both keep busy. Between tennis, biking, the Village
Voices, Follies and bridge they have fun.

Brad and Jean Piper met in 1939 in a band directed by a musician employed by
the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Brad played a saxophone and Jean played
the clarinet. Brad and Jean were from small towns about seven miles apart in northern
Illinois (Princeton and Tiskilwa). Brad asked Jean out on a date to see the junior class
play that was being put on at his school but he was the stage manager so she sat in the
balcony with his cousin. They saw each other once or twice a week with the band but
their first formal date was Brad’s senior prom. After high school Brad attended General
Motors Institute in Flint, Michigan. He alternated eight weeks in school and eight weeks in various departments
of Electro-Motive Division of GMC in La Grange, Illinois. When Jean graduated one year after Brad she attended
Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, to study music. Brad said that Ait was a job@ to date her when she
was in college because it was a long trip by way of the EL and streetcars. After he got her to the dorm by the 2 a.m.
deadline it took him two more hours to get home. I asked Jean how long they dated and she said, I was 15 when I
first saw him and 23 when we married. After I commented that it was a long courtship, right away Brad joked, I had
to be sure. They were married on August 13, 1947. They both have a terrific sense of humor. When asked how long
they have been married Brad said 68 years but continued, it seemed like yesterday and you know what a miserable
day yesterday was. Jean commented that he likes to say that to get a laugh. They have one boy and two girls and five
grandchildren. Their secret for a happy marriage is work together and think of the other. They went on to explain that
any house they owned they improved. With Brad being an engineer he was always upgrading something and Jean
said she likes to help and kept him happy with her cooking. One of her favorite treats is apricot-blueberry pie. They
came to Arizona in 2002 to visit family and on a lark looked at houses here in MountainBrook. They bought a new
house on Red Yucca, went back to Illinois and their house sold in one day. They were 79 and 78 and still working but
decided to retire. But they are very active to this day. They never go to bed angry and always share a kiss goodnight.

the group are willing to allow you temporary use of brushes or other
tools you may need.
If you decide to join our group the fee is $5.00 per month which
pays for use of all the glazes you see on the wall shelves. It also
covers other supplies you may need for special tasks. Bisque pieces,
specialty glazes and brushes are available for purchase from ceramic
shops in the area. Firing is done at no charge to the ceramist.
We have several certified ceramics teachers available in our group
who have a world of experience and ideas for creating lovely pieces of
ceramic ware and they will help you get started in this creative activity.

Book Discussion – February
Peggy Malsom
Hear ye, Hear ye! There have been changes to ye ole Book
Discussions for March and April. Due to circumstances beyond our
control, the following was decided at the January meeting:
For March: pick a book – not just any book – pick a favorite book
that you have recently read and bring it to share with the group. A
short plot summary is sufficient, but if your inner book critic would
like a more in depth discussion, that’s fine too. If you don’t have
a recent favorite, then choose a long-time favorite to share. Do we
sound desperate? We’re not, we are just trying something different to
show that we are innovative and cutting edge.
For April: Char has contacted Jane at One Book Arizona. The
submission period is now closed and the titles which have been
selected will be announced in March. So be sure to watch for
the announcement of the selected book in the March issue of the
Mountaineer. You can also Google One Book AZ 2016 for the
complete list-sometime in March. I know I always enjoy reading the
best Arizona authors have to offer as I live and learn more about this
state we call home.

PINNACLE VISTAS ANNUAL MEETING
The Pinnacle Vistas Homeowners annual meeting was held on Wednesday, January 13th in the
Superstition Center. Art Rogers was elected for a three year term to the Board. Homeowners were
given financial and landscaping information. An update on the requested clean-up of the area
owned by MountainBrook Village between Pinnacle Lane and Pinnacle Drive was given. After the
conclusion of the PV meeting homeowners socialized with appetizers and desserts. Door prizes
were awarded. At the Board’s monthly meeting held on January 18th officers were selected. The
president is Carol Caroff, vice president is Russ Kuc, secretary Perry Pearson, treasurer Art Rogers
and Tom Trundle is delegate-at-large. During the meeting the Board and those homeowners present
continued discussion of the necessary clean-up.
PINOCHLE
Ron Hofmeister
The Tuesday afternoon ladies group had a fun December. There were 2 first place winners with Dot Morrell and Suzanne Kadlec
each winning 5 games. Second place winner was Diane Kissner with 4 games. Hope to welcome new players for 2016.The Thursday
evening group is in full swing now that all the winter visitors are here. We kind of got gypped with the holidays being on Thursdays
this year so between Christmas and New Year’s Eve we missed playing 3 weeks. On January 21 there were 18 in attendance and Donna
Gavin was the high scoring winner with a total of 530. Other winners from December and early January were Verne Rafferty with 534
and the big winner with 611 was Nellie Moore. We are a friendly group. We play at 7 p.m. each Thursday evening in the Sunset Room
but it is good to arrive between 6:30 and 6:45 to socialize a bit. Everyone pays one dollar to play. It is really funny that just like high
school the guys sit around one table and the girls around another. When it is time to play we draw numbers to see what table we start
at. At each table we play four hands then the winners move toward table one. At table one the losers move to the last table. During the
evening we play five games and the top 4 or 5 scorers share in the pot with the first place winner getting the biggest chunk. This is a
good way to meet old and new friends and maybe make a little extra spending money.
TENNIS TALK
Judy Fitzpatrick
Tennis players from Mountainbrook Village will be heading to Trilogy (Power Road) February 20 to
participate in the annual tournament between these two communities. This year MBV will host the event
even though it takes place at Trilogy. Mountainbrook does not have the necessary court space to conduct
such an event but Trilogy has been gracious in allowing the use of their facility.
Players will be treated to a continental breakfast provided by MBV along with a luncheon later in the
TENNIS TALK
day. Match play will include men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles. This is an all-day event and
includes players of all skill levels.
Sally Lickar has been the MBV organizer of this event for several years. It involves working with the coordinator at Trilogy and
setting up the different pairings to make them competitive. She also arranges for volunteers to help with obtaining and serving food
and beverages.
The 2015 tournament was won by Trilogy, their first win since the beginning of this competition. There was only a four point
difference in the scores. Spectators are always welcome to attend. Come out and cheer on our players.
ON THE BALL
Try a ball class with us this spring. This class consists of toning, cardio, and some light weight training.
All moves are done on the ball, under the ball, beside the ball, or just holding the ball It’s a super fun
class, choreographed to upbeat music. Students will need a mat, ball, and two sets of hand weights, one
very light, and the other a little heavier. Beginners will probably need 2 three pound weights and 2 five
pound weights. More experienced students can bring heavier weights, according to their fitness level.
When purchasing a ball, remember, you should be able to sit on it just as if you are in a chair. If your
knees are under your chin, the ball is too small. If you are semi standing, the ball is too large. Most balls
have height charts to help you decide. Classes will be held in the Ocotillo Room on Tuesday, Thursday,
and Friday at 8:00, right before Pilates. Come have fun while burning calories, toning, and strengthening
muscles. Any questions please call or email: Fran Strickler (317)797-9224 or fran.strickler@gmail.com.
