Pam Burks
It Looks like MountainBrook Village
will be having new neighbors across the
US 60. As a follow up to last month, we
have news on the rezoning request. Due
to no objections or requests from the
public to speak at the Board of
Supervisors meeting regarding PZ-00312 and PZ-PD-003-12 the project has
been approved.
The site has been allowed to be
rezoned to commercial and will
eventually display park models and a
sales office for Montesa Manufactured
Home Park. When sales have been
completed, approximately 2 years, the
models and sales office will be removed
and Montesa Commercial Center will be
built.
Currently there is no known start date
due to the 24 stipulations attached to the
approval. (Go to

Supervisors, then select Board

Moving Right Along...
The design implementation team has been working with the architect to finalize plans for phase I of the renovation. In Mid-July,
the final draft will go to the Board for their approval. As soon as it is approved, the general contractor will be selected, sub
contractors will be hired and the work will begin. Expect to see lots of action around the campus for the remainder of the summer
months with the completion expected between October 1 - 15.
SOLICITORS
David Jones, Property Manager
Are you annoyed by the persistence of solicitors’ unwelcome knocks on the door? It seems like no matter what they do, they
always manage to show up at your front door.. They come with fliers, door hangers, a rehearsed speech and the distinct ability to
ignore the polite decline of the products they are peddling: cleaning supplies, appliances, cosmetics, magazine subscriptions, home
improvement products, house painting and other unwanted items. Sometimes they make you feel trapped in your own home.
Homeowners associations are particularly easy and frequent targets of commercial, religious and political solicitors. Part of the
appeal is that population density makes our association an easy environment for them to canvas. Because of this, finding a way to
keep solicitors away can be invaluable.
The United States Supreme Court ruled that a state trespassing statue could not be
used to prevent the distribution of materials on public streets. The Court based its
ruling on the provisions of the First Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment,
undertaking a balancing test comparing the constitutional rights of property owners

traffic safety and congestion.
Stipulation #10. All peripheral road

This month there were
lots of phone calls about a
big mistake in the Caring
Corner. Now we know everyone reads the
Mountaineer and we certainly thank you
for that. As far as the error, let’s say it
started with the labels “Illness” and “In
Memory” being switched and then when
we added two names, they went in their
correct headings leaving us with a big
mess. To insure this does not happen
again we have decided to put Caring
Corner only on the web where any errors
that may occur can be corrected
immediately. Thank you all for
understanding and we apologize for the
error. To access Caring Corner on the
web, simply go to;
www.mountainbrookvillage.org and click
on Our Village and then click on Latest
MBV News and it will appear.
Caring Corner in the month of June
should have read as follows:

Dear Amy
Dear Amy:
When I was talking with my sister Dora
the other day, I mentioned that my hair is
changing (thinning, greying, etc.), I’ve put
on weight I can’t lose and I’m napping more
frequently during the day. Dora said,
“Maybe you are going through The Change
again.” Now Dora isn’t the sharpest knife in
the drawer, if you get my drift. My husband
even calls her dumb-dumb Dora which I
don’t think is very nice. Our other sister,
Cora, is the smart one. But have you ever hear of going through The
Change more than once? I can’t ask my doctor because he still thinks
I’m a kook because I asked him if I got the Bends when we drove
through Death Valley. I need your expert advice.
Signed: Needs to Know Nora
Dear Nora:
First, let me get this straight. There are three sisters in your
family: Dora, Cora and Nora? Cora is the smart one, Dora is the
dumb one and you think you got the Bends in Death Valley. How
am I doing so far? To answer your question to me, I think you
might want to try getting out a little bit more. You know, mingle
with your neighbors, walk around the block, and take Tai Chi, Yoga
or Line dancing class. Maybe visit the Fitness Center or the pool
instead of napping the days away. Try it for a month and let me
know how it works for you. I care.
For answers to those annoying little nagging, goading, piquant,
timely questions, send your emails to Dear Amy at the
Mountaineer, LipsnLaw@msn.com or write them out and leave
them at the MBV office. Then look with unabated anticipation for
your answers to appear in the following month’s issue. It might.
Bad Boys, Bad Boys!
Peggy Malsom
They say good girls like bad boys. There
may be some truth to that. Just think back
to Marlon Brando in his leather jacket,
Mick and Keith of the Rolling
Stones or any heavy-metal
rocker for that matter.
Bad to the Bone – every
one of them. Remember
when there was a goodytwo-shoes Pat Boone faction
versus a hip-gyrating Elvis
Presley faction? Even the
churches got involved
condemning and burning
records. As for today’s new
crop of bad boys vs. good
guys, just ask yourself who is
more interesting; Justin
Bieber or Johnny Depp?
Bad boys, bad boys, what ‘ya
gonna do?
Every now and then a bad boy will
surprise you. It happened to me. We
recently took a trip to see our daughter
Crystal in New Jersey. She is an animal
lover who grew up with dogs, rabbits,
hamsters and fish. So it was no surprise
when she adopted a dog of her own. The
surprise was that Brody, our new grand
dog, was part pit bull. Oh my, bad
reputation = bad dog.
This trip was our second time meeting
Brody. The first time I tried to
keep my distance, but once I
fell asleep on the sofa and
when I woke up he was
sleeping beside me with
his leg stretching
protectively across
me. Dennis took
our picture. It is
quite touching.
Brody adores Crystal and visibly grieves
when she is deployed with the Air Force.
Crystal has room mates who care for him
while she is gone. A picture taken during a
recent deployment (her seventh) shows
Brody with a sad look on his face using one
of her boots as his pillow. It’s enough to
melt your heart. Still I’m leery of his bad
dog reputation. Not his in particular, but
the breed’s in general.
As I recently walked up the sidewalk
weighted down with both suitcases (where
was Dennis?) I hesitated at the bottom step.
Brody bounded out of the house, stopped
on the top step, looked me straight in the
eye, leaned over and kissed me smack on
the lips. I was so shocked I dropped the
bags as he leapt off the porch to greet
Dennis.
Bad boys, bad boys, what ‘ya gonna do?
He still scares me a little (a lot) when he
barks. The rest of the time he is strong and
gentle and loving. He doesn’t yip or snip or
jump on you which is frankly more than
can be said about Mick Jagger or Charlie
Sheen. Bad boys, what ‘ya gonna do?

We Need You!
A team of volunteers is needed to be trained on the wonderful sound and lighting system
available in our Superstition Building. Right now we have very few people who are trained
on this sophisticated equipment
Some of the groups that depend on this equipment are: the Chorus, the Theater Group, the
Follies, guest entertainers, Tues. Morning Coffee and News, Board Mtgs., Happy Hour,
Bingo and the many activities that occur throughout the year. If you belong to a group that
depends on these services please help us find volunteers. We will be glad to train you and
you can tell us when you are available to assist. Contact Rick Peters to set up a training time.

was a snake, Bob came in and got the camera and slid out the deck box and discovered
that it was a Gila Monster. We knew they were poisonous and couldn't let the dog out
in the back anymoe until it left. It seemed to enjoy our little backyard as it wandered
around the rocks and shrubs for several days then disapeared. It walked like a Kymoto

Artist of the Month
Carl Kuehn
This year is the year for the World Summer Olympics to take place in
London, England. Athletes from all over the world will participate for
their respective countries in many different athletic events. This brings to
mind the fact that the Summer Olympics have been in the United States
on two occasions; the summer of 1932 and the summer of 1984. Both
were in Los Angeles, California, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
When a location is decided upon for the Summer Games, the country, state and city are notified approximately eight years
in advance. This is when all the preparations begin.
Prior to the start of the events, admission tickets are available only on a drawing basis. Anyone can submit for their
desired events along with payment for same. I submitted for three events in track and field for four people each and one set
of tickets for the closing event in the Coliseum. Other events like boxing, wrestling, shooting, basketball and many others
were held at their respective venues away from the Coliseum and from downtown L.A
The Olympic experience for me was that as a sergeant in the L.A. Police Department, I was assigned approximately one
year prior to the Olympics to assist in training of officers to be prepared to avoid a blood bath like what happened in
Germany during the ’72 Olympics. In L.A., the athletes were assigned to two venues for their living, sleeping and dining.
One was at the University Of Southern California (USC) and the other was at the University of California Los Angeles
(UCLA). We were the CAT (Counter Assault Teams) assigned to both venues. A 10’ chain link fence was erected around
both venues where the athletes were staying and once they started arriving we worked 12 hours a day, 6 pm - 6am. Our
presence was kept low key as not to excite the world athletes, we didn’t wear uniforms but we wore dark fatigues for low
coverage.
I did have one day off a week and this gave me the opportunity to take my wife, kids and friends to the games in the
Coliseum. Thankfully we had no attacks at either venue and the games were a wonderful event and virtually loved by all.
This, by the way, was the only Olympic Games, worldwide, to make a profit.
As you can see, I have a very special interest in the Olympics, I am not an artist, I would say I am a collector and I have
put together a display of various souvenirs from the Olympics which will be on display this summer in the MountainBrook
Village library. When I was at the Olympics, I enjoyed collecting souvenirs from the various locations such as the city of
L.A., the Coliseum, the athletes and other venues. I hope you enjoy what I’m displaying and that it helps your spirits for
the games this summer in London.
Author of the Month
William Kollar
MountainBrook resident, William Kollar, is the author of “The Last
Mission”. This is the incredibly fascinating story of his freedom walk over
hundreds of miles while eluding the enemy for over one month during
World War II. William Kollar received the Purple Heart, Air Medal, Good
Conduct Medal, European African Middle Eastern Campaign ribbons and
Korean War service medal. He was a gunner in an Army bomber when
his plane was shot down.
William’s book is in our own MountainBrook library, in the biography
section, come and check it out. He currently lives in MountainBrook
with his wife Polly and they are collectors of antiques.

It was a memorable party, starting with the flags lining MBV Drive and then free popcorn and cotton candy, face painting
and arcade games for all. Everyone enjoyed the patriotic songs with our favorite DJ, Ron Howard. It was a fried chicken picnic
and ice cream sundaes and finally some fun dancing. The party was a big hit.

Card Making with Millie
Millie Hart
Want something fun to do this
summer? Come join us in
making handmade greeting cards
that will be sure to impress the
receiver with your creativity. It is my belief
that we express our love for others when we
set aside time to make them a special card.
No experience is needed, just a desire to have
fun with friends and possibly win a door
prize. The class is offered each month on two
or three different days from 1 to 3 in the
Ocotillo Room. All materials are provided for
a $10 fee. You will make 5 cards and make no
mistake about it, there’s nothing shabby about
the cards, more like unique. Just ask anyone
who has attended a class and you’ll find out
how fun and addictive card making can be.
The summer classes are smaller, so this might
be the time for you to see what it’s all about.
Available summer dates are: August 8&9 and
September 5&6. Fall dates are: October 2,3&
4, November 6,7& 8, and December 4,5& 6.
Call Millie Hart at 982-5388 for reservations

Book Discussion
Char Peterson
We meet from 1-2 PM in the Mesquite
room every second Wednesday of the
month October thru April.
On October 10,2012, Char Peterson
will lead a discussion on the book “Da
Vinci’s Ghost” by Toby Lester. A story of
a genius, obsession, and how Leonardo
created the world in his own image. More
than 500 years after da Vinci inked the
figure 13x9 of Mona Lisa this image is
world famous. Much of da Vinci’s life is
undocumented so this author filled in the
blanks based on circumstantial evidence
and some educated guesses. It is a 5 star
book.
On November 14, 2012, Carl Scheie
will lead the discussion on the book “In
the Garden of the Beast” by Eric Larsen.
Set in Berlin in 1933 when President
Roosevelt named a mild mannered
professor William Dodd to be
ambassador to Nazi Germany. His
daughter, Martha, an indiscriminate flirt
and romantic young woman who learns
about terror. Full of suspense and tension.
Best seller.
Books being considered for December
12th are either "Killing Lincoln, the
Shocking Assasination that Changed
America Forever” by Bill O’Reilly and
Martin Dugard or the book "The Lone
Wolf" by Jodi Picoult. On October 10th
it will be determined which book it will be
discussed.
On January 9, 2012, Stanley York will
lead a discussion on author James
Patterson and his books. Patterson is a
great mystery writer and you will find
many of his books in your MBV library.
During the summer months, there will be
a review in the Mountaineer of his books.
It is not necessary to have read the book
nor vital to participate. You are invited to
walk in and enjoy a lively discussion.
There is no signed membership, just enjoy
a good discussion.

A Library Volunteer
Char Peterson
Your MBV library has a large
selection of donated DVD and VHS
tapes for your viewing. Paul Cechovic is
a library volunteer who makes a list of
media material for our library. Paul has
made a numerical and alphabetized list
of all our donated tapes. The list is
located in a book located in the rear
media room of your library.
Paul also makes a list of all audio
books and this book is located in a rack
on the side wall next to the audio book
shelves. Please continue to donate these
items by placing them in the donation
box. Paul
will do all
the work for
you by
updating
these lists.
Thanks Paul
Summer Book
Suggestions
This past year, suggestions were
made by residents for “good
summertime reading”. Some of
these books are being selected for
review by MBV Book Discussion
Group. During the summertime I
will review 2 books each month.
Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult.
Edward Sarren age 23,lived in
Thailand 5 years after argument
with his father. Younger sister Cara
age 17, lives with their father, an
animal conservationist who lived
with wolf pack in Canadian wild.
Father becomes seriously ill and
on life support. The dilemma is to
terminate the father’s life support
and donate his organs the question
is between medical science and
moral choices.
Worst Case by James
Patterson. A great mystery writer
and a great mystery. The son of
New York wealthy family is
kidnapped and no ransom but only
quiz hostage where the money
comes from. Detective Michael
Bennett and FBI working the case.
PINOCHLE
opportunities to play
organized pinochle. Each
group meets in the card
friendly Sunset Room.
Women meet each Tuesday at 1
pm. A double deck group meets each
Wednesday at 6:30 pm. And the
traditional pass-three-cards group meets
each Thursday at 7 pm.
Only two players among the Thursday
group had scores of 600+ in the last
month. Howie Gehman, with 650 and
615, was one. Roger Wilson, with 624,
was the other one. A double run, the
rarest hand in pinochle, was held by
Calder Nolan with help from partner
Jeanne Isaak. Here is a brief semi-annual
report. Twelve different players have
achieved 600+ scores in the first six
months. The highest score, 698, was
earned by Ken Amundsen.
Each group welcomes newcomers. No
advance signup is necessary. Just show
up by about ten minutes before the
scheduled start of play. That helps with
setup. You will find cordial folks who
will help you cope with our style of play.

Helping
Hands
and You

particular, those folks who have no one
at home to help, no family nearby or
only a small network of older friends
who might be able to help When all else
fails, Helping Hands tries to be available
to the above while searching for a more
permanent means of being able to
maintain a quality of life within the
home.

transportation to doctors, dentists,
pharmacies or grocery shopping.

help you with grocery shopping at
Basha’s or picking up prescriptions at

visiting” by a volunteer or to sit with a
spouse so he or she can run errands. Call
Check is for the client to call in and let
the coordinator know that they are up

general well being. It is highly
recommended for anyone living in their

My Old Friend Joe
He’ll remind me that I’m slow
How Flora can put up with him
Is something I don’t know
I got to thinkin last night
A crazy thing to do
Especially when you’re tired
And sleep is calling you
I thought about the many folks
Who make my life complete
They may be friends or family
Even strangers on the street
A friendly face to greet you
Sometimes a warm hello
Or maybe it’s a character
Like my old friend named Joe
You best believe this man can tease
He could drive you up the wall
A half a mile down the street
I swear I hear him call
“Where have you been-where is my mail
What’s taking you so long?”
But down inside, that big old heart
Is really very kind
Every day I meet new folks
Some real and some really phony
But thank the Lord is all I say
That there’s just one Joe Maloney
There’s no two ways about it
This Joe is quite a bloke
He’s almost never serious
And everything’s a joke
I swear he lays awake at night
To think of things to say
Then he’s waiting by the door
To greet me everyday
He’s quick to tell me if I’m late
Poem written by mail carrier Bobby Muse
about Joe Maloney,her special customer and
a former tail gunner on a B24 bomber during WWII.
He was shot down over Steyr Austria in April 1944
and rescued by the partisans.
