Grayhawk Master Association - Board of Directors Meeting
Development Committee: David Van
Omen reported that the committee did not
meet. He did attend the Maricopa Flood
District presentation at the Grayhawk Golf
Club in late May. They presented the similar information that had been shared at the
Grayhawk Board meeting in May. He noted
that representatives stated that it will likely be
8-15 years before any changes are made once
a plan is chosen.
Operational Review Committee: Martha
Troy reported that representatives from
Trident Security Services attended the May
18 Operational Review Committee meeting.
There was an attempted vehicle break-in
in the Coventry at the Park neighborhood.
Patrol was able to get the license plate number and the perpetrator was identified as
a Grayhawk resident. Scottsdale Police are
handling the situation.
It was requested that management provide a
monthly report noting any speeders clocked
going over 35 mph on the private streets in
the Retreat Village.
There was a lengthy discussion regarding offleash dogs in the common areas. Residents
who live in the most affected areas were
present at the meeting to express concerns
regarding off-leash dogs and some of the
hostile situations they have had with dog
owners.
After various options were discussed, the
following were recommended to the Board.
Management noted that many of these steps
were already underway.
• Posting “Grayhawk Property, No
Trespassing” signs in common areas
• More diligence by patrol officers in
identifying non-residents using the
greenbelts
• Management to speak to legal counsel
regarding right and liabilities of the
association
• Fining homeowners whose guests are
utilizing the greenbelts and keeping
their dogs off-leash
Landscape Committee: Arlene Smith
reported that members of the Landscape
Committee had recently taken a tour of the
property. They identified areas where plant
replacement was needed. They also looked at
erosion in the Deer Valley Channel just east
of Scottsdale Road and in the greenbelt near
the Windsong neighborhood.
The committee marked several concrete
panels needing replacement due to potential
6 | Flight
hazard and also made plans for a few other
sidewalk panels deemed lower priority.
the committee members will prioritize at the
next meeting.
They also looked at two areas in Ridgecrest
where shade from large trees was preventing the grass from growing. The committee
is considering transitioning to decomposed
granite in those areas.
Architectural Review Committee: Paul
Alessio reported that the two Architectural
Review Committee meetings in May had
been relatively routine submittals. The committee has solicited the committee’s consultants Barry Ebert and Roger Tornow to
submit a proposal to update the Grayhawk
Design Guidelines, which have not been
updated since 2002. A motion was made and
approved to accept the proposal submitted
by Mr. Ebert and Mr. Tornow to update the
Design Guidelines.
Community Enhancement Committee:
Bob Mann reported that the committee did
not meet.
Programs Committee: Sarah Van Duyne
reported that Margo Bellock worked with
committee member Lou Ender to come up
with a theme for this year’s reflection/planning meeting. The committee looked at
events and either classified them as Oldies
but Goodies, Moldies or New Spins. The
committee felt that they were very productive
at the meeting.
The second Grayhawk Scavenger Hunt had
over 50 participants and was a big success.
We plan to continue this event in the future.
Over 30 people attended Wine, Dine and
Win at Tavern Americana and enjoyed drinks,
appetizers and lots of great prizes.
Residents who attended the cruise on the
Desert Belle raved about it and have already
been asking to go back.
Upcoming events include a Father’s Day
coloring contest, Movie Night and Grayhawk
Golf Outings.
Communications Committee: Linda
Shaw reported that the first Communications
Committee meeting with her as Chairperson
had gone well. She had met with a potential
new committee member, Rochelle Blaier and
was excited to request that she be added to
the committee roster. A motion was made
and approved to add Rochelle Blaier to the
Communications Committee.
The committee looked at the 2013 Strategic
Planning Progress Report and Linda noted
that many of the Communication Committee
responsibilities are in the “in progress” category. Linda also shared a list of most of
the projects that the committee had been
working on over the past two years, which
included emergency preparedness, branding,
website updates, welcome cards, updates
to the Grayhawk Flight, social media, room
rentals and more.
Each committee member shared what they
believed were important projects to be
working on. The list will be compiled which
Budget/Finance Committee: Barb Nelson
reported that the committee met to review
the results of the 2014 audited financial
statement. The auditor noted that both the
Grayhawk Community Association remains
in excellent financial condition.
A motion was made and approved to approve
the 2014 GCA audit.
Executive Committee: Linda Shaw gave
an update on the condominium community
enhancement projects. Tesoro has completed
their project, submitted paperwork and been
reimbursed by the Grayhawk Community
Association. Avian and Vintage at Grayhawk
have completed their projects but no paperwork has been submitted yet.
The GCA and RVA Boards are planning a
strategic planning meeting in late October.
Treasurer’s Report: Barb Nelson reported
that the Grayhawk Community Association
is currently running under budget, due in
part to bad debt that had previously been
written off but has been collected during the
year. Water usage is also considerably under
budget.
The GCA collected approximately $82,000
in Community Enhancement funds in April,
with a year-to-date total of slightly more than
$217,000.
New Business: A motion was made and
approved to cancel the July Board meeting.
Management Report: Michael Fee reported
that there is one more mailbox scheduled to
be replaced in Coventry at the Park and then
all of the mailboxes in the Park will have been
replaced.
The community painting project continues to
move forward, with painting almost complete
in the Raptor Retreat. Painting is still underway in the Park section of Grayhawk.

Dog Safety
Dog Days of Summer Daze
By Fernande Hastert Kuykendall,
Halcon Villas Homeowner
I recently witnessed a troubling situation in the parking lot of
a supermarket in Grayhawk -- a small dog (Dachshund – my own
breed) had been locked in a car with all of the windows rolled up!
Since a dog’s normal body temperature is between 100 degrees
F and 102 degrees F, it takes only minutes for a pet left in a vehicle
to succumb to heatstroke and suffocation. Dogs do not sweat like
humans. They cool themselves by panting and sweating through
their paws, expelling heat out to regulate their body temperatures,
causing an “evaporatory” reaction. If they have only overheated air
to breathe, they can collapse, suffer brain damage and possibly die
of heatstroke.
It takes less than 15 minutes, locked in a parked car, for their
body temperatures to climb to deadly levels. This can damage their
nervous and cardiovascular systems, often leaving the animal comatose, dehydrated and at risk for permanent impairment or death.
Temperatures in a parked car can rise an astounding 34 degrees F
per minute! On a 78-degree day, temperatures in a parked car in
the shade can exceed 90 degrees and hit a scorching 160 degrees
if parked in the sun! Even when the outside temperature is in the
60s, temperatures inside some vehicles can reach the danger zone
on bright, sunny days.
If you see a dog in a vehicle and in distress, please take immediate action! This is an emergency. Note the car’s make, model and
license plate, then go to the nearest stores and ask the manager to
page the owner. You should also call the police, as they can usually
respond much faster than animal control. The police have the
capability and authority to enter the vehicle and rescue the pet. Do
not be afraid to react immediately, the police will support you, (as
per Scottsdale Revised Code (SRC) 4-2 and Arizona Revised Statute
(ARS)12- 2910-H).
Additional daze of summer days tips:
•Provide shade and water if your dog must stay outside for any
length if time.
•If, while outside, your dog is in a yard with a pool, safety
becomes a very important issue. Your pet should be taught where
the pool steps are and how to swim to avoid the tragedy of pet
drowning.
•Do not transport him or her in a pickup truck’s bed. This is
always dangerous, but the heat brings the added danger of
burning the dog’s feet on the hot metal.
•Walk your dog before or shortly after sunrise, or long after
sunset. Before walking, test the pavement with your hand.
Uncomfortably hot? It will be for your dog as well! Furthermore,
do not take your dog jogging, except on cooler mornings and
evenings.
By using common sense, you and your best friend can enjoy
this summer and many more to come. Leave your dog home while
running errands. Never leave a dog or a child or any living, breathing being in a car. Don’t … do … that!
With special thanks to SPD’s Officer Travis Kirby and K9 Officer Lex.

First Quarter Drowning Fatalities Half of 2014
Lori Schmidt, President of the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Arizona and
Public Education Officer for the Scottsdale Fire Department
Maricopa County drowning incidents and fatalities took a nosedive in 2013 and the trend seems to be happening again in 2015, according to stats collected by the Children’s Safety Zone for the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Arizona.
Pediatric and child fatalities are half of what they were by April 30, 2014. In 2014, there were 12 deaths, which included children and
6 adults. This year, there have been 6 fatalities; 2 pediatric and 4 adults.

Members of the DPCA speculate that because 2014 temperatures turned hot early, this likely led to seeing higher numbers early
on in the year. So far in 2015, the cooler weather may be causing
less attraction to the water and therefore water-related incidents.
Although these numbers are trending in the right direction, even
one incident is too many.
“We must ramp up our awareness and education efforts now,
before it gets hot and we start seeing a spike in these numbers,”
says Melissa Sutton, DPCA Board member. “With Memorial Day
Weekend around the corner, we must reinforce the drowning prevention message to our friends, family members, neighbors, colleagues and community!”
12 | Flight
There was a notable increase in open water incidents in 2014,
so it is especially important to target those heading out to enjoy
Arizona lakes and rivers.
One program to launch in 2014 and will continue strong efforts
in 2015 is through the efforts of the Ryan Thomas Foundation –
getting life jacket loaner kiosks out at our local lakes. This was a
collaborative effort between the Ryan Thomas Foundation, DPCA
and the department of Fish and Game. Kiosks have been built at
Saguaro Lake and Lake Pleasant with the plans of having them in at
Apache, Bartlett, Canyon and Roosevelt lakes by the end of 2015.
The DPCA wants to remind everyone to remain vigilant throughout the year. Drownings, especially in Arizona, happen year-round and
do not target a specific demographic. They can happen anywhere, to anyone.
“Every year we lose at least twice as many adults than children. Everyone needs to know how to be safe around the water. Additionally,
barriers remain one of most common broken links in the injury prevention chain,” says Lori Schmidt, DPCA president. “The lack of pool
fences across the Valley is alarming. There are too many pools left unprotected because they were grandfathered in or city ordinances provide
loopholes.”
The DPCA stresses that families should take a 3-pronged approach to drowning prevention:
BLOCK, WATCH, LEARN.
BLOCK: Block access to water hazards. Put fences around pools, use protective covers on
spas, close bathroom doors, and dump out water buckets.
WATCH: Watch each other around water. Neither adults nor children should swim alone.
And if you lose track of children, always check your water hazards first.
LEARN: Learn CPR and ensure all family members know how to swim.
The Drowning Prevention Coalition of Arizona is a community based organization comprised of parents, health and safety professionals and business leaders, exists to provide a forum to prevent drowning and near drowning through the promotion of education, legislative
action and enhanced product safety. Check out our website at www.preventdrownings.org for more information.

Monsoon
SEASON
has arrived!
By DLC Resources, Inc.
The later part of the summer brings monsoon rains, and
it couldn’t come soon enough. While the monsoon season
will bring the much needed rain to our desert environment,
the storms also pose the biggest weather related risk for our
trees. DLC Resources’ on-site crews thin the community’s trees
throughout the year in order to maintain the health of the tree
and to prepare for monsoon season.
The summer months are a great time to assess the condition of your trees, remove overly thick foliage, correct damage
from previous storms and remove dead or structurally unsound
branches to minimize the chance the tree will be damaged or
cause damage during a storm. Continue reading for more tips on
how to prepare your own yard for monsoon season by visiting
the DLC Learning Center at dlclearningcenter.com.
Watering with Summer Rains
Also related to the landscaping this month, if you haven’t
already adjusted your watering schedule, now is the time to
do it. Even though temperatures are always skyrocketing this
time of year, the increased humidity and monsoon rains typically provide needed supplemental water. Check out our helpful
watering guide on the DLC Learning Center!

Sue Lukenbill, Encore Resident
It’s June and I’m already thinking about
the next few months of blistering heat. More
specifically, my favorite way to beat the heat:
Happy Hour! This month, to kick off a
summer of happy hours, Jennifer Sheets and
I decided to checkout Preston’s Steakhouse
up at the Citadel. Preston’s opened the end of March in the space
that previously occupied both Michael’s and BICE.
I typically don’t hit the bar as early as 4 p.m., but Jennifer had
some crazy excuse like getting home to feed her family, so I did my
best to accommodate her. The Sips and Bites happy hour runs from
3 p.m. until 6 p.m. daily, and I was surprised at how busy the bar
was. There was plenty of seating to start, but not a whole lot was
left by 5 p.m.
Chef Charles Schwerd, also owner of the popular Arrowhead
Grill in Glendale, named the concept after his grandfather, a
butcher and patriarch of a proud lineage of meat packers with
deep local roots. Preston’s offers a sophisticated dining experience
in a comfortable setting with a menu focused on prime steak and
seafood selections served with Schwerd’s signature quality and
character
The restaurant, dubbed an upscale-yet-affordable steakhouse
has an awesome happy hour. Diners can sip wine by the glass or
try one of their Seasonal Sangria’s or Signature Cocktails. They have
quite an extensive “Bites List.” There is everything from a Prime rib
Sandwich to Chicken Tacos, Deviled eggs to Crispy Green Beans
and Burgers. It is definitely one of the longer happy hour menus
I’ve seen, and covers a variety of price points.
When we stopped in, Jenn opted for a Red Wine Sangria and
at the recommendation of our server, I ordered the Berry Lemon
Drop. For food, we ordered the Crispy Green Beans, Pig Wings and
BLT Deviled Eggs, and we weren’t disappointed! I think we both
expected much smaller plates than what came to the table. Not only
do they offer a great variety on their menu, but they don’t skimp on
the food. I was a little apprehensive of the Pig Wings, but ended
up loving them! Each table also enjoys a complimentary tasting of
their Heritage Recipe Pepperoni Sticks during happy hour.
Overall, we both enjoyed the atmosphere and our server was
extremely pleasant. We both left stuffed and feeling like we had
snagged a great deal.
Preston’s dining room is open Sunday through Thursday from
4 p.m. to10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The bar is open Sunday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.
and Friday and Saturday from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. In addition to the
regular happy hours, the restaurant will be helping you to conquer
hump day with Whiskey & Wine Wednesdays which features 50
percent off the menu price for select whiskeys and wines. Can’t
beat that!
Later this year, Preston’s will open up the upstairs area into a
lounge and bar. Many have been in that space under restaurants of
a different name, and I for one can’t wait to check it out.
Until then…stay cool, Grayhawk.

Sage Advice
By Mary Kebbekus, Peregrine Vistas Homeowner
As I write this we are facing a weekend of triple digit temps. Hang on to your
sunscreen, here comes summer! That means a pretty extended vacation for my
ovens. That also means a vacation from cakes, cookies and the like. So what’s for
dessert besides ice cream? Mmmmmm, icebox cake.
Cool, pretty, easy peasy, super versatile, and delicious. I took a lemon icebox
cake to the perfectly delightful Memorial Day party we attended - and I must say, I
had some pretty appreciative eaters. Recipe was requested - request granted:
LEMON CREAM ICEBOX CAKE
LEMON CURD
SERVES 8 TO 10
YIELDS ABOUT 2 CUPS
2-1/2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup (50 g) powdered sugar
3 oz. (6 Tbs.) unsalted butter,
softened at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
2 large eggs
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 large egg yolks
About 25 graham crackers (whole
box)
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. fresh grated lemon zest
2 cups Lemon Curd
1. In a large bowl, whip the cream to
very soft peaks. Add the sugar, salt,
and lemon zest. Whip until the cream
forms firm peaks, then slowly beat in
the lemon juice. Continue beating until
just combined. The cream should still
hold soft peaks. (Mine looked a bit
curdled, but was still soft and in relatively firm peaks).
2. Smear a small glob of the lemon cream
in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass
baking dish (just enough to lightly
cover).
3. Lay down a layer of graham crackers
and spoon about 1/3 of lemon cream
over the top (offset spatula is the best
here). gently spread with 1/3 of the
lemon curd. Then graham crackers,
1/3 lemon cream, 1/3 lemon curd -Repeat!
4. Cover & refrigerate the cake for at least
4 hours. This can be made up to 24
hours ahead of time, but it is best consumed within a day or two, as it will
get soggy if it sits more than that.....
however, I doubt it will last that long.
1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and
sugar with an electric mixer, about 2
min. Slowly add the eggs and yolks.
Beat for 1 min. Mix in the lemon juice.
The mixture will look curdled, but it
will smooth out as it cooks. Honest!!
2. In a medium, heavy-based saucepan,
cook the mixture over low heat until it
looks smooth. (The curdled appearance
disappears as the butter in the mixture
melts.) Increase the heat to medium
and cook, stirring constantly, until the
mixture thickens, about 10 min. It
should leave a path on the back of a
spoon and will read 170°F on a thermometer. Don’t let the mixture boil.
3. Remove from the heat; stir in the
lemon zest. Transfer the curd to a bowl.
Press plastic wrap on the surface to
keep a skin from forming. Refrigerate.
The curd will thicken further as it
cools.
4. Covered tightly, it will keep in the
refrigerator for a week and in the
freezer for 2 months.
Yes, you can use store bought lemon
curd, but pretty please try the homemade
just once. You’ll never go back.
Icebox cakes are not so much a recipe
as a technique. Graham crackers, flavored
graham crackers, or chocolate cookie
wafers; whipped cream flavored with juice,
extracts, or liqueurs; and fruit or lemon
curd or maybe chunky preserves. Layer,
refrigerate, and forget about it for 4 to 24
hours. Really, what’s not to like?
Here are a few other flavor combos to
drool over contemplate:
• Butterscotch whipped cream, peaches
sprinkled with toffee bits, graham
crackers
• Vanilla whipped cream, strawberries
or blueberries, plain or cinnamon
grahams
• Coconut whipped cream, sliced mango
sprinkled with toasted coconut, graham
crackers
• Chambord liqueur whipped cream,
raspberries, chocolate cookie wafers
See? Very versatile. As we all know,
fruit can vary in moisture content - so if
your icebox cake is a bit on the wiggly side,
fear not - just spoon it up and serve in a
bowl.
I will be adding pictures of my
recipes, so stay tuned! As always, please
send me your comments or questions:
