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.

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 your flip flops at home – without straps to keep them on your feet, they’ll just end up as flotsam and jetsam floating down Grand Canyon River Trip along 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 ASPEN ANNIE’S LANDSCAPING, INC Make sure you bring the right stuff - once you launch, there's no turning back. 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. Stacey “Vagabonding Lulu” Wittig is a travel writer based in Munds Park.

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. e Dav CANTRELL CoNsTRuCTioN CompANy 928-286-9599 • Cell 928-606-6608 Licensed General Contractor Specializing in Remodels & Additions. ROC593 23 • Bon ded • P .O. Box 18432 • Munds Park, AZ 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. 5 86017 MIKE’S FLOOR COVERING ROC206317 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).

This recipe works so you don’t have to stir stuff on the stove best with partially-thawed potatoes. 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!

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.

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.

Mingus Ave, Cottonwood (928)634-4158 Pinewood News April 27, 2015 23 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. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

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. 30 Pinewood News April 27, 2015 Pinewood Country Club 18-hole Women's Golf Association by Jackie Riley A new season with good friends, good golfing (hopefully) and many fun events is about to begin...Our first play-day is scheduled for May 15.

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 33 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.

Last June the group met with local county officials and the Arizona Department of Transportation as well as representatives from several local 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 that the directors of the Road Maintenance District would have to title their own properties in the District, actually recording their private property in the RMD, everybody 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!” Party to share the latest information on the Lucinda Andreani, Deputy Director of Public Works for Co- I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends A chance to share old memories and play our songs again When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name No one recognized me, I didn't look the same CHORUS But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.

Trees Will Be Planted… members of MPBA have been involved in putting together a plan that would still fulfill the objective of beautifying the With Or Without ADOT! 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. April 27, 2015 Pinewood News 35 MUNDS PARK COMMUNITY CHURCH UPDATE www.mpcchurch.com by Mac Jett IT'S OFFICIAL!!
