On Friday
April 17 the
Forest Service
reached the
next milestone in the
Four Forest
Restoration
Initiative
(4FRI) when
Coconino National Forest Supervisor Earl Stewart and
Kaibab National Forest Supervisor Mike Williams
signed the final decision. It results in accelerated forest
restoration on more than a half million acres of national
forests and grasslands.
Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell lauded the decision.
“This is exceptional work of Forest Service employees
and stakeholders who joined together to support this
historic endeavor,” he said. “This restoration work will
contribute significantly to our efforts to sustain healthy,
resilient landscapes. Support from these stakeholder
groups will ensure we maintain this momentum for the
long haul. That’s what it will take to make a difference.”
This achievement is the result of four national forests
and more than 30 stakeholder groups joining together
over five years to work on the largest landscape-scale
restoration project ever analyzed in Forest Service history. 4FRI builds on many years of collaboration,
research, and action since the mid-1990s. Over the past
five years, the Forest Service has progressed toward
accelerating restoration by implementing projects within the 4FRI landscape, using previous NEPA analyses.
Progress continues with this final Record of Decision. It
approves various restoration activities on over 586,000
acres of the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests.
These activities include thinning; prescribed burning;
watershed and road maintenance; grassland, spring, and
stream channel restoration; and habitat improvements.
Forest Supervisors signed the document in front of representatives from the 4FRI Stakeholders Group Friday
afternoon. One of the reasons 4FRI is unique, and has
been such a success, is the unprecedented amount of
stakeholder engagement and participation. The 4FRI
Stakeholders Group consists of individuals and groups
representing local, county, and state governments; environmental groups, organizations, and institutions; and
industry representatives. Their commitment to seeing
these forests restored, and their continual engagement
and participation throughout this process has been
invaluable.
This represents the first Forest Service project in which
stakeholders were active participants in the formal
objection process. Their opinions were solicited and
provided in each of the resolution meetings with objectors. Their involvement contributed to a successful
objection resolution process.
“When you think of how many people have been so
deeply involved for so many years, it drives home just
how significant this moment is. We’re celebrating a
groundbreaking project as well as a groundbreaking col-
laborative effort,” says Earl Stewart,
Forest Supervisor for the Coconino
national Forest.
The Forest Service anticipates the first
activities from this decision will be
prescribed burning and installation of
equipment to conduct watershed
research, which could occur this spring
and summer. The Record of Decision approved
the following activities:
• Mechanically cut trees on approximately 430,261
acres. This includes mechanically treating trees up to
17.9 inches d.b.h. in 18 Mexican spotted owl PACs, and
prescribed burning in 70 Mexican spotted owl PACs
(including 54 core areas).
• Apply prescribed fire on approximately 430,261 acres
where mechanical treatment occurs and use prescribed
fire only (no mechanical treatment) on approximately
155,849 acres, for a total of 586,110 acres.
• Construct approximately 520 miles of temporary roads
for haul access and decommission the roads when treatments are complete (no new permanent roads will be
constructed).
• Reconstruct up to 40 miles of existing, open roads for
resource and safety concerns. Of these, improve approximately 30 miles for hauling (primarily widening corners to improve turn radius), and relocate and rehabilitate about 10 miles currently located in stream
bottoms.
• Decommission 726 miles of both unauthorized routes
and existing system roads on the Coconino NF.
• Decommission 134 miles of unauthorized roads on the
Kaibab NF.
• Restore 74 springs, construct up to 4 miles of protective fencing, and restore 39 miles of ephemeral channels.
• Construct up to 82 miles of protective fencing for
aspen.
• Construct up to 12 flumes, and up to 12 weather stations and associated instrumentation, to support the
paired watershed study research.
In addition to the 1st 4FRI EIS project area, 4FRI covers other restoration projects already approved in other
NEPA analyses that are being implemented across the
Apache-Sitgreaves, Coconino, Tonto, and Kaibab
National Forests. To date, approximately 300,000 acres
have received some sort of restoration treatment as part
of the initiative.
For additional information on the Four Forest Restoration
Initiative visit www.fs.usda.gov/4fri. The response letters to
objectors, Final Record of Decision, Appendices, and list of ill
be available online by April 30. CDs and hard copies will also
be available at that time.

What to bring
on Grand
Canyon white
water raft trip
By Stacey
“Vagabonding Lulu”
Wittig
Travel Writer
Always dreamed about riding the white water
waves through the magnificent Grand Canyon?
Then you’ll want to know what to pack to make
the trip most enjoyable. What you bring on a
Grand Canyon white water rafting trip often
depends on your outfitter. River outfitters will
supply differing sets of amenities for your
Colorado River adventure. Here are insider tips to
add to the list that they will provide:
• Sunscreen – Arizona is called the “Sunshine
State” for good reason. The hot summer sun burns
above you for most of the day while you are deep
in the Grand Canyon. The sun’s burning rays also
reflect back up at you from the water. I bring
SP50.
• Sarong acts as a skirt, towel, dress and, most
importantly, shade. Lay it over your lap for sun
protection. Get it wet and wrap it around your hat
or neck to cool you off while hiking a side
canyon. Or dip it in the river and lay it on your
sleeping bag as an evaporative cooler at night.
• Wide brimmed hat with a chinstrap will protect you from all that wonderful sunshine AND
stay on your head as you crash over Class 10 back
rollers.
• Water shoes like Keens or Tevas. Since Tevas
were invented
by a Grand
Canyon river
runner from my
hometown of
Flagstaff, AZ, I
stick with Teva
(pronounced
Te-vuh) sandals. Leave

up as flotsam
and jetsam
floating down

the
rapids.
the Colorado River
• Bring your
own booze, but
glass bottles are not allowed in the Grand Canyon
wilderness area. Bring beer in cans. For wine, pull
plastic bladders out of boxed wines and recycle
the cardboard before embarkation.
• Outdoors skirt made of light fabric dries
quickly and makes hiking and going to the bathroom in the out-of-doors much easier.
• Don’t bring jeans or clothing made of heavy
cotton fabric that takes too long to dry and is cold
when wet.
• Do bring a light fleece jacket for added
warmth in the cool evenings. Bunch it up for a
pillow.• You won’t see much rain in the canyon,
but if you do, you’ll be glad you have a light rain
jacket. Layer with your light fleece for warmth
while sitting around the campsite at night.
• A towel and biodegradable soap. You will be

in a fragile environment so make sure that
your soap is biodegradable.
• “The most important thing to bring is a positive attitude about doing something new,” says
river runner Jalynda McKay of Flagstaff, AZ.
Everyone lives by their watches and cellphones,
so it’s hard to embrace not having a schedule
while on the river she says.

Pinewood Fire District Receives
2015 Governor’s Office of Highway
Safety Grant
The light tower will solve this problem as
each of its four light fixtures can be aimed
independently to light the entire area. With
increased lighting, emergency personnel will
be more visible to approaching motorists,
decreasing the possibility of a secondary accident. It can also be used to light helicopter
landing zones and mass casualty treatment
areas.
Through the use of this equipment, we will
ensure a higher level of safety to our firefighters and other responders during emergency
events.
We’d like to take this time to thank Linda
Welsch, wife of Chief John Welsch for all her
hard and productive work she’s done in order
to get these grants for the fire department.
THANK YOU, LINDA
I going to try to work in some profiles on
our department members to familiarize you all
with the wonderful people who are here working for and taking care of us. This issue I am
profiling Brendon Mohler. Although he is our
newest full-time hire, he may look familiar to
some of you. Brendon actually joined
Pinewood Fire in 2009 as a volunteer. He then
moved up to Reserve and was able to apply
and test for the full-time position that opened
up when Terri Perry retired.

Pinewood Fire District is pleased to
announce that it was the recipient of a 2015
Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Grant
that provided $10,780 in funding for the purchase of a Portable Light Tower. This equipment will provide safety lighting on incident
scenes.
Currently, whenever accidents occur at
night, firefighters light the scene with headlights or lights carried on the fire engine.
However, many incidents the District responds
to involve vehicles that have landed far from
the roadway or rolled down embankments
where headlights can seldom be positioned to
provide proper illumination. To safely and
efficiently operate at a crash scene, a much
wider beam is needed to light unseen or
unknown risks.

Brendon Mohler
Brendon (remember it is BrEndon NOT
BrAndon) and his wife Mindy live in Prescott
Valley. Mindy works at Yavapai County in the
Education Services Department, but her passion, and what she does on the side, is
Wedding and Event Planning. When I asked
Brendon about kids, he said not in the near
future, if ever.
What brought him to the firefighting profession is being community driven. In his
younger days he worked with St. Vincent
DePaul serving meals, helped at Church Fairs
and more. He loves being part of a Community
and helping people and he was always interested in getting into the medical field. The
Department requires all members to be at least
EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certified. So the next step for Brendon is to take a
Paramedic class as soon as possible.
In his spare time, Brendon again gives to
the community by working at the Community
center in Prescott Valley. He also works out at
a gym and spends as much time as he can with
his three dogs, two terriers and a black lab
(and he said no children, ha).

top.
Quick Cook Tip #15
Minimize kitchen time for large-gathering
breakfasts.
One of my neighbors, Joan Alf, several
years ago gave me the quickest and easiest
breakfast for a crowd: Omelets in a Bag.
These are so healthful. No milk or
butter/oil. If you don’t add cheese, you cut
the calories even more.
Omelets in a Bag (as many as you can boil
up!)
Prepare dishes of additives for omelets:
bacon bits, chopped tomato, cheeses, green
onion, bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and
so on. I do this prep the day before and
then put out each at breakfast time.
Set a large pot of water to boil on the
stove. Give people FREEZER zipper bags
(very important it be heavy duty) and
direct them to write their names with a
permanent marker.
Then each person cracks two eggs into the
bag, zips it up, and mushes up the egg to
resemble scrambled eggs. Each person
opens up the bag, adds in the additives of
choice, and re-zips the bag after removing
as much air as is possible. I demonstrate
by pressing the bag against my torso and
squeezing out the air. Even adults like
playing with their food this way, and kids
love these!
The bags are placed in the pot of boiling
water. When the water returns to boiling,
start the timer. I do move them around in
the pot if I have 8 or more cooking.
After 13 minutes remove the bags from the
water and let each person open his or her
bag and roll the omelet on a plate.
Everyone gets an omelet at the same time.
I have cooked twelve at one time, the limit
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Preheat waffle iron to medium high. Spray
with non-stick cooking spray.
Place 20-25 Tater Tots on the waffle iron
(depends on your size) and lower the top
of the iron onto the potatoes, pressing
firmly so TTs flatten out. As they cook
press again to flatten more.
Cook about 2-3 minutes. Cut in half.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove to a
baking pan and put in oven to keep warm.
Bake three more batches to serve 8. You
can make these while the omelets are
being assembled and cooked.
Other easy breakfast dishes for a crowd
are:
-Slow cooker makes “Overnight Oatmeal”
(I use steel cut oats)
-Make bacon in the oven (350 degrees for
15-20 minutes)
-Bake eggs in avocado halves for a crowd
-Bake eggs in meringue clouds (recipe
here http://www.popsugar.com/food/EasyBaked-Egg-Recipe-37204432)
-Pre-make egg and sausage muffins in
your muffin pan
-Precut fruit that guests layer with yogurt
and granola for a light meal
Oh, and so many more! There are tons of
ways to cook for a crowd and live to tell
about it.
Your guests will be impressed with how
fast you put a Bed and Breakfast meal on
the table for them. Casa Moore is known
for them!

It’s great to be back in the mountains, where the air is fresh and clean and
Pinewood Players is cooking up an exciting new theatre season.
Over at the theatre, we’ve already started practicing our lines and planning the
stage sets. Here’s what we’ll be offering this summer:
First, starting June 12, we bring you Hallelujah Girls, a joyful comedy about a
group of women friends who decide to throw caution to the wind and finally do a
few of the things they have hitherto only dreamed about – and that includes converting an abandoned church into a day spa.
In July, you are in for a treat once again as the children and teens entertain us all
with two energetic musicals: Kidz Kamp will perform Through the Looking Glass
(complete with a hip-hopping Alice) beginning July 10th , and ‘Tween Camp
brings us Wipeout!, a surfing extravaganza, starting July 17th.
Be My Baby will be on stage beginning July 31st. It’s a heartwarming comedy
about two senior citizens who hate each other and suddenly find themselves the
unwitting guardians of a very small baby.
For our final play of the season, beginning August 21st, our players will present
Whose Wives Are They, Anyway?, a fast-moving farce that will have you laughing until your sides split.
And that’s not all: Doug Pusateri will be producing Cabaret Theater at the
Country Club once again. If you’d like to get involved with Cabaret Theater, there
will be a meeting at the Country Club on May 31st . You’ll want to get your tickets early for these shows – all the performances sold out quickly last year.

PINEWOOD FIRE DEPARTMENT AUXILIARY
CINNAMON ROLL SALE
IN A CTI ON . ...
Business Alliance Clean Up Project
Our Munds Park Business Alliance put out a call for volunteers to help in
Phase 1 of their project to clean up the area surrounding the Pinewood
Boulevard entryway into Munds Park on Friday, April 17th. Our local CERT
members answered the call to help with this community service. They
pulled weeds, picked up debris scattered in the area and know there is still
a lot more to do. A special thanks to Rick VanDeurzen, Leslie DeGroot,
Chip Murphy, Chris Murphy, Len Friedlund, Bill DeGroot, and Everett
Worfolk for representing our great team in this worthwhile cause.
Home and Garden Show
Thirteen members of Munds Park CERT gave their time at the Flagstaff
Home and Garden Show held April 10th through April 12th in order to educate the public on what CERT represents, and supporting the Sheriff’s
Office goal of providing safety tips by talking to the public and passing out
information. Chip and Chris Murphy, Gail and Rick VanDeurzen, Cheryl
Thomas, Leslie DeGroot, Tony Bond, Bill and Mary Lou Hagan, Mark
Stevenson, Len Friedlund, Linda VanDeren and Alma Elizarraraz – Your
dedication to volunteer is truly appreciated.
It’s time for the PFD Auxiliary’s first Cinnamon Roll
Sale of 2015 on Saturday, May 23rd. This year we are
going to try selling in a little different packaging.
WE BAKE 4 per pkg for $5; 8 (2 pkgs) for $10 and 12
(3 pkgs) for $15
The frozen (YOU BAKE) are $5 ½ Dozen and $10 a
Dozen
You can pre-order either the frozen or baked any time
after May 1 by calling BARB at 286-2329 or JAN at
296-9245.
Baked Cinnamon Rolls will go on sale at the Fire
Station at 7 a.m. and pre-orders available for pick up
until 9 a.m.
Announcing our new Munds Park CERT Trailer
Our dream has become a reality! Our team is proud to announce the
acquisition of our new trailer. First of all, the decision did not happen
overnight to take this giant step, but circumstances over the years led up
to this monumental purchase. This trailer will allow us quick activation
because all our equipment and supplies are in one location, it will give us
shelter if needed and the mobility to take it to our neighboring communities who can use our equipment and supplies, as we are there to help
when called upon!
This could not have happened without the support of our members and
through the help of non-members who believe in our organization. If you
would like to help, contact our Munds Park CERT board members for more
information. They are Tony Bond at 928-310-8600, Sue Madden at 602882-2261, Leslie DeGroot at 602-3706738, Pat Traber at 619-977-8409 or
Len Friedlund at 928-600-3896.

Single Seniors
Live Music as a Mental Pain Reliever
By Annie Weissman
My sister and her boyfriend Bob came up from their vacation in
Tucson to spend some time with me. They arrived midafternoon and
we drank diet soda on my front porch, among the geraniums, pathos
and dahlia plants with the fountain babbling in the background.
Joan, my neighbor, came over at dinner time and we all ate in the bar
of Uncle Sal’s, a restaurant on Osborn and Hayden Roads in
Scottsdale. It was formerly owned by Sammy “the bull” Gravano. The
succulent scallops are a bargain at thirteen dollars. The crispy toasted
bread emitted that sweet garlic scent and it was just right to sop up the
sauce. I dropped Joan back at her place, and my sister and Bob at their
hotel to get ready for the evening.
My sister and Bob are open for fun, which is why I like to spend
time with them. We headed out for The Rhythm Room. The Bad News
Blues Band was playing. I’d seen them several play several years ago
and liked their style.
We got there early to get a table .The last time I’d been to the
Rhythm Room, about a month ago to see the Sugar Thieves, the place
was jammed to over capacity. We had about an hour until the show
started, and we spent the time in pleasant conversation. The crowd was
eclectic, as usual, senior citizens who looked like they just came off
the golf course, young people decked out in their dance and club outfits and middle agers in their party clothes. As soon as the live music
started, some couples got up to dance. One couple had the moves
picked up in dance classes.
The sounds of the instruments and the melodies transported to
another galaxy; one without cares, worries, or the past, There was only
music. I was released from mental anguish I’d stored up for a month.
Tee unending news cycle of plane crashes and filial assurances of
sobriety
The saxophone reverberated in my gut. The jamming of the guitars rang in my head, clearing everything else out, at least for the time
I was there. The blues songs, the swing songs, the uncategorizable
songs charmed me out of my life and into their words, gruffness and
notes.
The three of us got up and danced. I moved with the music, not
caring whether I looked cool.
We stayed for one set. My sister yawned and it was enough for
me. We went for dessert at the Sugar Bowl Restaurant in downtown
Scottsdale. In streamed high school couples coming from their proms,
dressed to the hilt. They were so cute. Not one girl had on a dress that
was too revealing. I guess the kids who come to The Sugar Bowl after
the prom aren’t in the edgy crowd. My sister commented on how great
it was that a date was no longer a requirement to go to the prom.
My taste buds luxuriated in a hot fudge sundae with chocolate chip ice
cream. I went home a happy woman.

Financial Focus
How Can You Become
A “Healthy” Investor?
Sudoku
Solution
May is National Physical Fitness and
Sports Month. This “month” is designed
to encourage people to follow a healthy,
active lifestyle. You can take steps toward
this goal, of course, but why not carry the
concept of improving health to other areas
of your life — such as your investments?
Toward that end, consider these
suggestions:
• Give your portfolio a regular
“checkup.” To maintain your fitness,
it’s a good idea to visit a doctor
for a check-up on a regular basis. And
to help ensure the “health” of your
portfolio, you may want to
periodically review it with the assistance
of a financial professional — someone who
can point out gaps in your existing holdings
or changes that may need to be made.
• Follow a balanced investment “diet.”
As you know, nutrition experts recommend
that we adopt a balanced diet, drawing
on all the major food groups. Too
much of any one category — for example,
an excess of meat or dairy products — can
lead to health concerns. An analogous
situation exists when you invest: If you
own too much of one particular asset
class, such as aggressive growth
stocks, you might expose yourself to
an “unhealthy” degree of risk, because
you could take a big hit during a
market downturn. But not all investments
move in the same direction at the
same time, so if you own a mix of
stocks, bonds, government securities
and other vehicles, you can lessen
the impact of volatility on your portfolio.
In investing, as in all walks of life,
balance and moderation are important.
• Don’t let investments get “lazy.”
Exercise is essential in staying fit and
healthy. Yet exercise can also be hard work,
causing many of us to put it off to “another
day.” Some of your investments may also
not be working hard enough for you. To
cite one possibility, you might own quite
a few certificates of deposit (CDs). There’s
nothing “wrong” with CDs, and they do
offer a high degree of preservation of
principal— but they provide very little
in the way of return, particularly in a
low interest rate environment, such
as we’ve had over the past few years. So
if you have a plethora of CDs, you might
be depriving yourself of the opportunity
to own other investments that “work
harder” by offering you the growth
potential you’ll need to make
progress toward your long-term goals.
• Avoid “unhealthy” habits. Many of
us are guilty of unhealthy habits, such as
eating too much or failing to address stress.
Taken together, these bad habits can harm
the quality of our lives. As an investor, you
can also fall into some bad habits. To name
just a couple, you could waste time and
effort by chasing after “hot” investments,
which may already be cooling off by the
time you hear about them, or you could
decide to take a “time out” from investing
when the markets are turbulent. Another
bad habit: Investing either too aggressively
or too conservatively for your goals and
risk tolerance. By avoiding these and other
negative habits, you can help yourself stay
on track toward your objectives.
It takes diligence and vigilance to stay
physically fit and healthy. And these same
attributes are just as important in keeping
your investment strategy in good shape.

dozens of local volunteers, the organization has made great inroads in assisting
member businesses with referrals and building their business bases. Many of
the businesses have enjoyed significant increases in their own revenues while
also participating in several community outreach and enhancement programs.

Beautification Committee
This committee worked to develop a plan to implement a three phase “Beautification” to the commercial district. Welcome signing, bushes, flowers, seating

raised to be devoted to this project. The group is working on the “Community
Plan” which is being supported by the Pinewood Country Club, Pinewood Sanitary District and the PPOA as well as adjacent individual property owners. The
group is also requesting that ADOT do something with the entrance to address
the weeds and litter. The ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY Volunteers are having their first
clean-up on April 17th. Emphasis will shift to working with adjacent property
owners and the county to improve the county easements and plant trees and
bushes on private property to enhance the entrances, including the Pinewood
Sanitary District and Pinewood Country Club common areas as well as the
main intersection leading into Munds Park at Fairway Drive.

FROM YOUR PFD AUXILIARY
It’s getting that time of the year when our
residents start returning for the summer season. The Auxiliary has been spending time
this winter working on new fund raising projects. With the cut in tax revenues over the last couple of years, we
are doubling our efforts to raise funds to be used to help purchase
items for the fire department that are not allowed for in the budget
due to those cuts. As always, thank you in advance for your continued support
The first Cinnamon Roll Sale of the season is coming up on the
23rd of May. We will again have sales of frozen rolls so you can
have these delicious rolls whenever you want them. Information is
on page 16 of the Pinewood News. You can also pre-order and
pay for the already cooked treats and pick them up anytime from 7
a.m. to 9 a.m.
Over the last several years there have been tables and chairs
available for loan. Unfortunately, due to some problems with that
process, the table and chairs will no longer be available for loan to
the public. We apologize for the inconvenience this might cause.
The tables and chairs belong to the Auxiliary, not the fire department and unfortunately, people who borrowed them, did so without
regard for any inconvenience to the firemen and their daily duties.
Not to mention tables were returned damaged, dirty and sometimes just left outside when crews were out of the station.

Road Trip to Wickenburg
by Steele Wotkyns
Spring or even late spring is a fine season to visit and explore historic Wickenburg. That’s exactly what I did recently and there were many highlights
from my weekend road trip. I booked and stayed at the Rio Tierra Casitas for
two nights. It’s an amazing, relaxing oasis only a few miles from Wickenburg’s old downtown. The property nestles next door to the Nature Conservancy’s Hassayampa River Reserve with access to this remarkable riparian
preserve right out Rio Tierra’s back gate.
Rio Tierra Casitas is aptly described as
“more than a motel and sweeter than
suites,” featuring a variety of unique,
well-appointed and cozy accommodations: Rancho Deluxe, Mexicasa and
Lucy’s Bungalow. The décor is pure
Western and the terrific host and hostess
truly make this THE place to stay in the
Wickenburg area plus with extras such
as homemade baked goodies, desert air
RioTierra Casitas Mexicasa and sunshine-dried linens and mesquite
wood for an evening barbeque. The best
bird watching I did was either right in the Rio Tierra compound or nearby
with a vermillion flycatcher flitting in the trees and a nesting Chihuahuan
raven in a nearby rock outcrop along the Hassayampa River.
On the recommendation of my Rio Tierra hosts, I explored some of the 600acre Hassayampa River Preserve both from the their back gate and from the
main Reserve entrance via a driveway only a mile up the road from Rio
Tierra towards town. This natural area is a place I’ve wanted to visit since the
1980s – I wasn’t disappointed. There’s a nice old ranch house with exhibits
and a beautiful garden as you enter (it serves as the visitor center), three
miles of self-guided loop trails and exceptional bird watching, wildflower
April 27, 2015

and wildlife viewing.
Another reason this spring is a good
time to visit the Wickenburg area is to
be sure you see the Cowgirl Up! exhibit
at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum downtown. In addition to the permanent collection of Western-themed
art,
this special exhibit features some
A frog greets a visitor
200 artworks by more than 50 of the
Hassayampa River
West’s top women artists. The exhibit
runs through May 3rd and it’s truly a fun experience, “a who’s who of Western women artists, all kicking up their heels in one place.”
While as a small and pretty sleepy town, Wickenburg isn’t on any gourmet’s
bucket list, but there’s hearty lunch fare
at the Wickenburg Feed Company and
Nana’s Sandwich Saloon and a decent
Mexican Restaurant, El Ranchero – all
in or near downtown.
With another excellent recommendation
from my Rio Tierra Casitas hosts, I
headed out of town with a scenic side
Visitors at Hassayampa
loop on Constellation and Blue Tank
River Preserve
Roads. It’s amazing how quickly you can
get out of downtown Wickenburg into
some beautiful and wild public lands here with many hiking trails and, when
I visited, lots of wildflowers in bloom. My road trip turned into a loop as I
drove west and north of Wickenburg through the scenic Skull Valley and into
Prescott from the Iron Springs Road gateway.

After five years of working to establish a method to enhance the front entrances to Munds Park on both the East
and West side of the frontage road embankment, the MPBA
Beautification Project met a brick wall with ADOT restrictions that were insurmountable. Last June the group met
with local county officials and the Arizona Department of

philanthropic agencies (Munds Park Business Alliance,
Pinewood Property Owners’ Association and, Pinewood
Sanitary District) and businesses to explain the required
process in order for the group to move forward with the
Beautification Project. “We tried to meet every one of
ADOT’s requests and once we did another road block would
be developed to thwart the plan,” said Bill Spain, Past President of MPBA. “When they tried to enforce a requirement

knew that ADOT was a lost cause and that the best we could
hope for is a clean-up of the weeds and installation of some
gravel in the proposed area in lieu of bushes and trees,
“added Spain. “The areas adjoining the freeway on the
West side of the I-17 and all of the commercial properties
that adjoin or abut the area to the East side of the freeway
could be cleaned up in the Adopt-A-Highway Program that
MPBA had already put in motion the year before, but that
was it. Individual property owners and community leaders
would have to take the ball and run with it,” said Spain, “I
have not been turned down by anyone we have approached
for help to make this BEAUTIFICATION become a reality,”
added Spain, “Munds Park folks want to see the front of the
Park look better and there has been a huge amount of support to make that happen one way or another!”

front of Munds Park with trees and bushes. The plan calls
for planting trees along the side of the sanitary district
port of The BEAUTIFICATION and the PPOA
property seen from the East side of the freeway as well as
plant trees on county club property that would also add ambiance to the front of the entrance by hiding work areas,
gravel pits and equipment storage areas. In addition, several property owners have been approached along the intersection of Fairway and Pinewood Blvd about planting
trees along that roadway there. The Country Club board
voted last month to support the plan by allowing trees to be
planted on PCC property and the Sanitary District has also
been very supportive of the on-going plan, even agreeing to
water the trees by truck for when necessary. The Munds
Park RV Resort is eager to participate and wants to plant
trees along the West side of the frontage road. The Chevron
station also has areas that would be plantable along the
frontage road.
“When the going gets tough, Munds Park rallies and makes
things happen, they always have,” stated Len Friedlund, current MPBA Board President. “With the county support and
willingness to work with us during the Pinewood Boulevard
renovation, the timing is perfect. The entire business community is invited to participate and pretty much every business is involved in finding a way to make this work,” added
Friedlund.
Provident Partners Realty is currently putting in a paverparking lot on their property which will be a huge enhancement to the front entrance area and they have also
committed to adding bushes and trees to their property to
spruce up the entry to the Park.
MPBA hopes to present the county with a plan to incorporate built-in future water access by installing lines under the
new Pinewood Blvd now, ahead of future planting, in order
to be able to run water to trees paid for by the local businesses and homeowners willing to hook the trees up to
their water sources.
“We envisioned a cleaned-up entrance with businesses that
are interested in improving their property asthetically and
that is happening! We wanted to see buildings be painted,
landscaping be improved and trees and bushes be planted
to beautify the entrance and we can still accomplish that
objective, “ said Cheryl Parker, MPBA Vice-President. “What
has been really nice is to see the community as a whole pull
together to make this happen, regardless of the difficulties
presented by state government, knowing that a good looking entryway to Munds Park is vital to long term property
values as well as the success of the local businesses in the
long run. We are accomplishing both….Parker added.”
The community has rallied around this BEAUTIFICATION
PROJECT and the MPBA Board and all of the volunteers and
folks who have been working on this for the past five years
are very thankful and appreciative of the support. Anyone
who has a question or would like to re-consider their donation based on the revised plan is welcome to speak with any
MPBA Board member…your donation will be returned upon
request! To date, no requests have been received from any
contributor.
