The heavy equipment is gone, the detours are down and the construction noise has
been replaced by the familiar swing “swoosh” of golf clubs down at the country club.
After more than three months of work, the $1.5 million Pinewood Boulevard
Reconstruction Project and the $425,000 Munds Wash Bridge Repair Project have
been completed.
What a difference a few months can make. Pinewood Boulevard and Munds Wash Bridge
now bear little resemblance to their deteriorated predecessors. Pinewood Boulevard’s
crumbling asphalt has been replaced by a new base and pavement along with new curbing.
Munds Wash Bridge has been re-decked to maintain the structural integrity of the bridge which,
left unmaintained, would have cost millions to replace.

As construction wraps up, it is important to
reflect on all of the factors that came together to
turn these projects from concepts into realities.
The first was funding. Both of these Roads
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects were
funded by Proposition 403, the County’s Road
Maintenance Ballot Measure which was
approved by almost 65 percent of County voters
in Munds Park and Countywide last November.
nity. Road improvement projects are never easy.
Good teams always plan to mitigate the inconvenience of construction to the fullest possible;
however, it is unpredictable factors like weather
that can challenge even the best planned projects and test the resilience of residents. May
and June were two of the wettest months in 20
years for many County communities including
Munds Park where snow fell in late May.
The second factor was teamwork. The contractors for the Pinewood Boulevard and Munds
Wash Bridge projects (Fann Construction and J.
Banicki Construction, Inc., respectively) work
tirelessly alongside the County’s engineering
and construction management team to deliver
the best projects possible on time and on budget. This dedication extended to meeting community requests like paving Pinewood Boulevard
in time for the Munds Park Fourth of July
Parade.
The third and most important factor was the
ongoing cooperation of the Munds Park commu-
Major investments in roads and bridges do
more than just preserve infrastructure. They also
improve a community’s character and help to
maintain its property values. Just nine months
after Election Day, we are proud to have completed the Pinewood Boulevard Reconstruction
Project and the Munds Wash Bridge Repair projects, two of the County’s first Prop. 403-funded
CIP projects. The County wants to again thank
all Munds Park residents for their ongoing
patience during construction. Thanks to you, we
were able to finish these important projects for
your community.

Experience:
Five favorite
peak hikes
By Stacey Wittig
Vagabonding
LuluTravelWriter
Pinewood News
1.) Bull Basin Trail
2.) Kendrick Mountain Trail
3.) Pumpkin Trail
Atop Kendrick Mountain, you’ll view the San
Francisco Peaks, the tallest mountains in Arizona
to the east, Bill Williams Mountain to the south,
and Red Butte and distant views of the north rim
of the Grand Canyon to the north.
4.) Bill Williams Mountain Trail climbs Bill
Williams Mountain -- near Williams, AZ -- to a
fire lookout tower. The 3.5-mile trail crosses
Cataract Creek leading you through beautiful
wooded areas. You will enjoy cool temperatures,
but bring water: no water is available along the
hiking route. You'll gain 2,200 feet of elevation to
reach the summit at 9,256 feet during this 7-mile
round-trip hike.
Road to Bill Williams Mountain
There's nothing like a little altitude to get hikers up and out of the summer heat. Hikes to
mountain tops -- called peak hikes -- are always a
favorite this time of year. The monsoons have not
yet begun and the sometimes snow-covered trails
near mountain peaks are open for foot travel.
Five favorite peak hiking trails:
Kendrick Peak rises above the Kendrick
Mountain Wilderness Area offering three of the
five favorite peak hikes. Each trail is steep but
shady to the 10,418-foot (3,175-meter) summit.
Fire lookout on Bill Williams Mountain
5.) Humphreys Peak Trail takes advanced
hikers to the highest point in Arizona. Start at the
base of Arizona Snowbowl ski area and hike
through dense (and shady) Ponderosa pines until
you get above timber line. After 4.5 miles of steep
trail, you'll find yourself at 12,637 feet (3852
meters) above sea level. Got oxygen? Hike early
in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid
the lightening that comes with early afternoon
monsoons at the end of June through August.

THE PINEWOOD FIRE
DEPARTMENT AUXILIARY
The Pinewood Fire Auxiliary has been in existence for about as long as the Fire Department
as existed. Originally it was set up just to funnel
donation to the all-volunteer department. When I
came here it was a very small organization that
was mostly social. Boots Miller headed it up for
quite a few years and then came Trudy and Paul
Cannon and Alice and Bob Lane. They started
to organize and mobilize the PFD Auxiliary.
They recruited friends and neighbors and we
began having pot luck meetings on the first
Tuesday of each month. Membership grew and
they began to host the kid’s games at our annual 4th of July BBQ and fireworks show. They
helped with the cooking and serving also. It took
everyone including family and friends to put on
the BBQ and fireworks. The Club was a big help
for many years, first by cooking the food and
then by giving us free rein of the kitchen to get
the job done.
The Auxiliary has had several Presidents
including Boots Miller, Betty Wachs, Trudy
Cannon, Alice Lane, Darlene Frain, Jan Toth,
Sue Madden, Cinda Renaud, and Barb
Timberman. The group has kept on growing and
evolving with fundraising used to support the fire
department.
The biggest fundraiser was the three
Cinnamon Roll Sales each Holiday weekend.
This one has gone on for many, many years.
We made some changes over the years in the
way we sold them. You could place orders and
pay then pick them up by 9 a.m. We also be
We also held a Christmas in July raffle for
several years with local and Flagstaff businesses donating prizes. It stopped when no one
wanted to chair the fundraiser. There have been
many fundraisers over the years i.e. the Chili
Cook-off, two different sales of cook books with
the wonderful recipes from the exceptional
cooks who are Auxiliary members. One year
they sold 4th of July decorations and then the
last couple of years American Flags and they
even installed some of them. They have, for at
least 20 years plus, provided games, candy and
Halloween fun for the kids of the community.
The Santa visit throughout the Park has been
going on for at least 20 or more years also. The
funds they collect from the fund raisers not only
provide the games and prizes and Santa gifts for
those events but they help provide the Fire
Department with items they do not have money
in their budget to purchase. They prepare and
serve food for the fire department’s Kids Safety
Day every year. When we had haunted houses
for the Halloween fun, Auxiliary members were
right there to help monetarily and with physical
labor to get the job done. They also have always
provided support and help whenever the fire
department as a fundraiser or is hosting an
event such as the Ponderosa Fire Advisory

annual training. All the local fire departments,
Sheriff’s Office, DPS and CERT all take part in a
disaster preparedness drill. Auxiliary members
provide set up, serving and clean-up for the
Annual ALS Pancake Breakfast hosted by Rick
Maggard and the Fire Department.
They have purchased defibrillators, hose,
wildfire boots and gear, computers for rigs,
needed repairs for gurneys and many, many
other things. That is their function… Helping
provide for the Pinewood Fire Department! We
have also provided food when Auxiliary and/or
Community members have a tragedy in their
lives.
We still have a lot of members, but more and
more members are “non-participating” which
means they attend the pot luck meetings for the
social benefit, but little help in the way of helping
the Auxiliary accomplish its goals. The PFD
Auxiliary is a wonderful place to meet and interact and make new friends, but we need members help. We need people to host the monthly
pot lucks! This is not difficult and entails setting
up the kitchen and maybe the tables in the bays
if crews are out on a call. The clean up when the
meeting is over is also part of the pot luck.
Members need to step up and volunteer to help
sell the things the Auxiliary uses as fundraisers.
Members need to step up and help with any projects the Auxiliary takes part in. And most of all,
members need to work with the board to come
up with new ideas for fundraisers to work
towards our goal of helping the fire department.
One thing that has happened is that someone
in the community turned the Auxiliary into the
County and a lot of our programs and fundraisers will no longer be allowed due to County permit requirements. The comment from the man
from the county was that “she” didn’t think it was
fair that “she” had to get permits and we didn’t.
Now “she” is probably working “for profit” and we
are not. We are a 501c3 and help fund the fire
department as needed and help the community
when needed. I don’t know who “she” is but she
is not doing anyone in the community a favor
and certainly not the people who work hard for
this community.
Oh, and the upcoming ARTS, CRAFTS AND
COLLECTIBLES EVENT, has had to be cancelled because the County does not think they
can process the permit in time (the date was
September 5!!). So, even though we have had a
great response with public donations, because
of circumstances we need to rely more on public
donations.

The Quick Cook
The Quick Cook Hacks the Kitchen
By Sharon Arthur Moore
Last column I wrote, I shared some kitchen
hacks, modifications and adaptations to
make cooking easier. There are soooo many
more of these that I might share some others
in a future column. But for today:
QC Tip #19 Recipe hacks create new
foods to try.
Not only are you able to make cooking faster
and easier with kitchen hacks, recipe hacking
is even more popular. No doubt, if you’re a
web recipe surfer, you have encountered
dump cakes and poke cakes and earthquake
cakes. You also have found dozens of
recipes for using cake mixes to make cookies
not just cakes.
And in the last column I shared the web-popular Dr. Pepper Cake. Adding soda pop or
alcohol to desserts is a common recipe hack.
Below I am share Justapinch.com’s recipe
for Peach Dumplings made with Mountain
Dew! It is a winner in my neighborhood as is
Nigella Lawson’s Guinness Gingerbread.
I’m kind of known (she says with no shred
of modesty) for my desserts in our cul-desac.
The reigning neighborhood favorite dessert
is my version of Paula Deen’s bread pudding
I made with honey whiskey instead of
brandy. I mean, people offered to lick the
pan so I wouldn’t have to wash it! My version of that recipe follows as well.
There are rotisserie chicken hacks that transform that pre-cooked bird from your grocery
store into dishes that would never hint at the
chicken’s staid origin. And, as I’ve written in
this column before, you regularly look into
your refrigerator and combine some interesting ingredients to make an un-replicable dish
because you’ll never have those ingredients
in those quantities ever again.
See, hacking recipes is only about taking
ingredients and combining them in unusual
ways. My mother’s bread pudding NEVER
had alcohol in it nor did she ever think to
make cookies from a cake mix or dump soda
pop into a recipe.
Search online for some recipe hacks and get
inspired. You’ll create your own recipe
hacks once you get down some basic princples. Maybe you like orange soda pop. So
make chocolate cake mix cookies with
orange zest and orange pop. It could work,
right? Or not! That is the risk with experimenting, but it’s also where the fun in cooking is! You learn a lot about cooking by
hacking recipes.
Peach Dumplings
http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/fr
uit-dessert/peach-dumplings-3.html
2 whole large peaches
2 8-oz cans crescent rolls
2 sticks butter
1 ½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
cinnamon, to taste ( I use a couple of teaspoons)
1 12-oz can Mountain Dew
Peel and pit peaches. Cut both peaches into 8
slices.
Roll each peach slice in a crescent roll segment.
Place in a 9 x 13’ buttered pan.
Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir.
Add vanilla, stir, and pour entire mixture
over peaches.
Pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the
pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Spoon
some of the sweet sauces from the pan over
the top. Serve with ice cream or not.

Some of the lingo is just for fun. A “hoofer”, for example, is a dancer. An actor
might come backstage after a particularly brilliant performance and say, “I killed
them.” On the other hand, a “dead audience” is one that doesn’t laugh or clap or
respond in any way. (Just so you know, all actors dread a dead audience. So if
you are watching a play, please do your part by staying lively.)
I just learned a very nice convention from Dale, our director in ‘Tween Camp,
something he taught all the actors. Five minutes before the house lights dimmed
at the beginning of the show and toward the end of intermission, he walked
through the back stage saying quietly, “Five Minutes” and the actors echoed
back “Thank you Five” – to show they had heard him and were prepared to go on
stage. He’d walk through again with one minute remaining and whisper,
“Places,” and the actors all whispered back from their entrance spots, “Thank
you Places.” And in total silence, 23 young teenagers focused all their attention
on killing the audience.

PINEWOOD IS PERFECT PASS IT ON (Part 6)
By Jan Toth
Weather
We all know this has been an unusual
winter, spring and summer so far. The
winter was exceptionally mild and lacking
in snow fall and then spring hit with cold
and snow and lots of rain. We had winds
but not like I usually remembered from
my thirty years here. Snow and rain affect
the type of wildfire season we can have.
Unfortunately, they can bring disaster with
either too much or too little precipitation.
Too much precipitation can cause a large
increase in the vegetation available to
burn should a wild fire come through. Too
little precipitation allows the already there
vegetation to dry out and be more susceptible to lightning, campfires and other
forms of heat sources in the forest.
Pinewood is in a snow and rain belt
along the Mogollon rim and any kind of
weather can happen here. You probably
heard more about the tornados in
Bellemont where a lot of damage was
done, but a few years ago tornados went
through the forest just south of us. They
traveled all the way to the East side of
Flagstaff.
Weather records only show Flagstaff
but you can bet Munds Park had as much
or more. Here are records from the
National Weather Service.
The first official weather station in
Flagstaff was established September 9,
1898.
The most precipitation ever recorded in
one calendar year at Flagstaff was 36.59
inches, set during 1965. The least precipitation recorded in one calendar year at
Flagstaff was 9.90 Inches, set in 1942.
Average annual precipitation for Flagstaff
is 22.91 inches.
Snowfall in Flagstaff is highly variable
as well. The most snowfall ever recorded
during the snow season (July - June) was
210.0 inches in 1972-73. On the other
extreme, the least snowfall ever recorded
during the snow season was 11.2 inches
which was set in 1933-34.
The most snowfall to occur within a
continuous stormy period occurred from
December 13 through December 20,
1967, when 84.6" of snow was recorded.
By the end of this event, 83 inches of
snow lay on the ground, essentially paralyzing the city of Flagstaff and most of
Northern Arizona for over a week.
Because of snow compaction and limited
August 3, 2015
means to measure this amount of snowfall, it was likely that considerably more
snow than the recorded amount actually
fell during this event.
The all-time record high temperature
for Flagstaff of 97°F occurred on July 5,
1973. Skies were clear and winds were
generally light westerly, although by afternoon winds were generally around 10
mph. The early morning temperature of
51°F was very close to the normalof 48°F.
The next day a weak cold front
approached the state, keeping the afternoon high temperature only at 89°F.
The maximum number of days in a calendar year with temperatures of 90°F or
greater was 15 set in 1974. Of note, 14 of
those days occurred in June. The maximum number of days in a year with temperatures of 85°F or greater was 48 days
which was also set in the warm summer
of 1974. 21 of these days occurred in
June of that year.

The coldest temperature ever recorded in Flagstaff was -30°F which was
observed on January 22, 1937. The maximum temperature reached that day was
+12°F, which was a 42°F diurnal spread.
The maximum number of consecutive
days with minimum temperatures of 0°F
or lower was eight. This stretch of cold
weather occurred from December 27,
1966 - January 3, 1967. August Average
– Average High temp was 93 in 1902;
Lowest high temp was 53 in 1992; The
highest Low temp was 65 in 1903; and the
lowest temp was 24 in 1968. So we can
expect any type of weather at any time.
Joy Rosenthal writes that the winter
storms of 1971-1972 started out with rain
that came down in buckets for the next
two days and nights. When the water
reached the running boards of the motor
home, they decided to head for the Valley.
However huge waterfalls told them the
road would be impassable before reaching
Phoenix. As they passed back North they
saw that the golf course at Pinewood was
completely underwater as well as out
buildings. 89A through Sedona was
closed also, and they finally headed north
through Flagstaff, Rte 66 t Ash Fork and
through Chino Valley and back to the
Black Canyon Freeway.
In March of 1991 the second storm of
March was here with the third on its way
and the fourth storm coming. The second
storm had already dumped 19 inches of
snow in Flagstaff and probably more here
in Munds Park.

This was the annual Beat The Pro Day for the Lady Putters. Brian Obillo is our
Golf Pro at Pinewood Country Club and The Lady Putters putted 18 holes to
beat Brian at his putting game. Of course Brian used a junior golf putter and had
to wear a ladies shirt & visor upside down and under his nose. Some of the
ladies, including President Elyse Webber, stood in his line of putt and danced or
made faces or blew whistles or waved their hands and legs
to hinder his view and shot!
There were approximately 70 lady putters and
there were quite a few winners!
Way to go Lady Putters!
Thank you to Jaime Welch for the beautiful pictures.

The Pinewood News Printing Process
Last issue I spoke about the delivery route of the Pinewood News
after it is printed. I had someone ask me if I print the paper myself?
That answer is no.
I have a deadline every other Monday and on Wednesday of my
deadline week, I send a print order to the printer. The print order not
only is about how many papers I need but which specific pages that will
be in color or black and white. I also need to know whether I am
increasing or decreasing the pages which have to be increments of 4
(pages) and that depends on content. In the peak of summer I order
6,500 papers a month at 52 pages per issue. After the paper is completed and “put to bed” (Friday morning) it is exported into a PDF file then
electronically sent to Valley Newspaper in Phoenix the same day. It will
be ready the following Monday for pick up by yours truly.
I did tour the printing facility last summer and it was really cool to see
the process of printing the Pinewood News and it coming “hot” off the
press. The papers are bundled in 50’s and doubled wrapped in plastic
twine. Thankfully I do have help loading all the bundles into my car by
one of the warehouse workers.
Lastly, if you want to send in an article, place a classified ad, place an
advertisement or have a special occasion/event please look on the front
page, bottom left hand corner. It will always have my next issue date
and the deadline date for that issue and contact information.

Solution
August is What Will Be Your Legacy
Month. If you knew this, you have an
unusual knowledge of obscure
celebrations. But even if you
weren’t aware of this “month,” you
can see that the idea behind it —
the importance ofleaving a legacy —
is an important one.
What should you do to help
ensure you’ll leave the type of
legacy you desire?
To begin with, identify those people
whom you’d like to directly
benefit from your legacy. What can
you leave behind to your
children, grandchildren, other family
members or even close friends?
Then, think about those charitable
organizations you support — can you
leave something behind to them?
Once you have decided what your
legacy should look like, you can take
steps to implement your ideas. Here are
a few suggestions:
• Draw up your will. A will is probably
the most essential legacy-related
document. Essentially, you need a will
to ensure that your assets and personal
belongings will be distributed according to
your wishes. If you die intestate (without a
will), your belongings will be distributed
to your “heirs” as defined by state laws —
and these distributions may not be at all
what you had in mind.
• Consider a living trust. Depending
on your situation, you may need to go
further than a will when creating the estate
plans that help define your legacy. For
example, you might want to create a living
trust, which can allow your assets to go
directly to your heirs, avoiding the public,
time-consuming and potentially expensive
process of probate. A living trust offers
other benefits, too, so you may want to
consult with a legal professional to learn
more about this estate-planning tool.
• Plan for your charitable gifts.
To leave the legacy you have envisioned,
you might want to do more than provide
your loved ones with needed financial
resources — you may also want to provide
lasting support to those charitable or
educational organizations whose work
you admire. Toward this end, you might
want to consult with your tax and legal
advisors about charitable gifting strategies
that can provide tax benefits, both now and
in the future.
• Give your family the power to act
on your behalf. Like everyone else, you
want to be in charge of your own destiny.
Unfortunately, however, you may someday
become mentally or physically
incapacitated for a while. If this were to
happen, you’ll want your family to be
able to act on your behalf with regard to
financial and health care decisions. To
grant your loved ones this power, you
may want to create a power of attorney
and a health care directive.
• Communicate your wishes. You need
to communicate to your loved ones the
actions you have taken regarding your
will, living trust and other estate-planning
documents. By explaining your wishes
in advance, you may be able to help your
family members avoid disputes
and unpleasant surprises — and that lack
of “drama”can also be a key part
of your legacy.
What Will Be Your Legacy Month
will come and go. But by definition, your
legacy will last beyond your lifetime —
so make it a good one.

The Single Senior
Goes All A Glitter
By Annie Weissman
When I went with friends to old downtown Cottonwood
in May, we went to The Glitter Factory retail store.
(Yes, there’s a real factory next door.) There were fabulous painting with glitter on them and quilts and wall
hangings glittered up. I immediately signed up to take
Glitter 101. Joan and I went one day in June and made
glittered cards, a glitter butterflies and a glitter
dragonflies. Their glitter is powder fine and stuck to my
clothes and skin as well as the projects.
I was contemplating a new quilt for my youngest
son’s (Max) girlfriend’s three year-old daughter. She
Glitter 101 products
already calls me “Granny Annie.” I envisioned one of
flannel squares with hearts appliqued. It would look so
cute with glitter around each heart. I bought the fabric adhesive and three
containers of glitter. I had bought some flannel at SAS in Phoenix and went
to Joann’s to get more and other supplies. I took out the sewing machine and
went to work cutting and appliqueing each square. When I got about half of
the squares done I went back to The Glitter Factory for a brush up on glitter
techniques.

When I got home I set up at the dining room table. These are the times I’m
glad I’m single and don’t have to clean up a space for dinner. I sewed fortytwo squares and managed to do a decent job of putting the glitter around the
hearts. I was quite proud of myself until I looked around the dining room.
The furniture, the table, and the laminate floor were covered with glitter. And
so was I. It took a few days to “cure” the squares as I had to heat up the oven
to three hundred degrees, arrange five squares on cookie sheets lined with
aluminum foil, put them in the oven and turn it off. When the oven was cool,
the adhesive was set. Luckily Aurora and Yoseline were scheduled to clean
and they did an amazing job of making the glitter disappear.
I still had thirty more squares to sew and glitter. I
did the sewing and put off the glittering until a
Saturday in July. The Glitter Factory has two sessions every Saturday where you bring your own
project and they provide the glitter and adhesive. It’s
a bargain at $5.00 a session. I already had my glitter
and adhesive but I wanted to spread glitter all over
their place, not mine! I’m not a perfectionist so I
was able to accomplish my mission in one session.
When I got home I spread out the squares on the
guest bed and “cured” them in the oven. Finally it
was time to put the whole thing together. I happily
sewed the squares, not noticing until later that the
squares were still shedding glitter. Again I was
lucky that Aurora and Yoseline were due to clean
the next day.
I laid out my quilt to admire it and thought it
looked a bit small, even for a twin bed quilt. My
neighbor Elaine let me put it on a twin bed she had and it barely covered the
mattress. There was no overhang.
Glitter heart quilt
What to do? I did not want to glitter anymore! I decided to do the
border by quilting hearts on squares rather than appliqueing and glittering
them. I went to Joann’s to try to match to the original fabrics but I could only
find a few of them. I’ll look at SAS when I have to next brave the heat in the
Valley for an appointment.
I’ve sworn off glittering at home, but I did sign myself and my granddaughter for Glitter 101 while she’s visiting in August.

Phase One: Buy 3 balls for $10.00. You will be putting at a hole 20-30 feet away.
There will be two stations. You may putt from either station during the qualifying
phase. The difficulty of the putt will be similar at each station. Any ball putted into
the outer circle is worth 1 point. Any ball putted into the inner circle is worth 3
points. Any ball putted into the hole is worth 5 points. The points you accumulate for
the 3 balls is your score for this phase of the competition, and will determine if you
qualify for the finals.
The person with the highest point total in any single qualifying attempt will receive a
cash prize of $50.00. In the event of a tie, the tie will be broken by a 1 ball putt-off,
the ball closest to the hole determining the winner (ball must remain on green to
count). The balance of the cash pot will be divided as follows: 50% of the remaining
pot after payout to the highest point qualifier will be given to the Wounded Warrior
Project. The remaining 50% of the pot with be divided between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place finishers in the finals as set forth below.
Phase Two: Those persons with the top 10 scores in phase one will advance to phase
two. In phase two, the procedure set forth in phase one will be repeated, except each
contestant will have only 1 ball. First, second, and third places will be determined by
the points accumulated in phase two. Cash will bepaid for 1 place (50% of the pot), 2
place (30% of the st nd pot) , and 3rd place (20% of the pot). In the event of any ties,
those ties will be broken by a 1 ball putt-off, the ball closest to the hole determining
the winner (ball must remain on green to count).
You may try to qualify for the finals as many times as you like, consequently,
one person may have more than one of the top 10 qualifying scores.
INCENTIVE PUTTING: A golf bag loaded with golfing paraphernalia will be
given to the contestant who accumulates the most points during the qualification
phase (Phase One). You may attempt to qualify for the putting finals as many times
as you wish. The points you accumulate in each qualifying attempt will be added to
the points you have accumulated in other qualifying attempts. Example: A contestant
attempts to qualify for the finals three times. During each of the qualification
attempts, the contestant scores three points. That contestant’s cumulative score is 9
points (3 + 3 + 3 = 9). The contestant may wish to participate in additional
qualification attempts with the intent and hope of increasing the number of points
they have previously accumulated.
The intent of incentive putting is to encourage contestants to participate in as many
qualifying attempts as possible, thereby increasing the pot size, raising additional
money for the Wounded Warrior Project, and increasing interest and excitement in
the putting challenge.
NOTE: In the event two or more players tie for the most accumulated points,
the tie will be broken by a 1 ball putt-off as described above.

Enter and share your best wildlife photos in our annual contest
Arizona Wildlife Views magazine and Arizona Highways are co-hosting a
wildlife photo contest this year. Entry is easy: Arizona Highways has an
online platform where people can fill in an entry form and upload a digital
photo. More than 1,000 entries have been received so far, and there are
still three weeks to go before the deadline.
Using the online platform, people can easily share and promote favorite
entries on Facebook and other social media.
Entry in this photo contest has always been free, and it is free again this
year. There is no limit to the number of photos a person can enter.
Winners will be published in the year-end calendar issue of Arizona
Wildlife Views magazine and in Arizona Highways.
The contest celebrates Arizona’s diverse and amazing wildlife,
encourages people to enjoy watching and photographing birds and animals, and helps people appreciate fine wildlife photography. The entry
deadline is Aug. 15. For details, visit the website: http://www.arizonahighways.com/wildlife-photo-contest.
PHOENIX – The waiting game is over for hopeful hunters who applied
The Niners’ big event of the year, our annual Invitational, happened on
Wednesday, July 15 and was a great success. The Tournament Chairperson, Kathy Vogt chose the theme “Queen of Clubs.” The game, as
well as the gift for each attendee was based on this theme. We had 104
golfers from around the state of Arizona, as well as 9 additional lunch attendees. Members donated so many beautiful baskets for the raffle,
which is always a big hit. 30 Pinewood Niner members played golf and
we had 74 guests join us. They do so love to come to Pinewood and escape the heat of the Valley and play on our beautiful golf course which is
in such wonderful condition. We were fortunate this year to have 40% of
the golfers win prize money and they couldn’t wait to spend it in the Pro
Shop before departing for home. A very big thank you to Kathy and her
many volunteers for putting on an excellent event!!
On July 22nd, the Play of the Day was called Garbage Day. It was
evidently a very complicated game and due to very few ladies understanding the procedures, all 23 who played won $5.
Upcoming Plays of the Day will be as follows:
August 3rd (tee times front 9) and August 5th (shotgun back 9) Club
Championship
August 5th will also be our August Luncheon and Meeting following golf

Subject: Irony
Dear Editor,
I am a summer time resident of Munds Park along with my two live in pack
members (Pat and Adam). Every day we take walks in the forest to enjoy its
abundance of animals and birds, it’s pristine beauty, sun dappled trees and
pleasant MUTS-improved hiking trails (Thank you MUTS). Lately it has become necessary to always carry a bag with us in order to pick up litter that
other forest users leave behind, destroyings the pristine quality that presumable bothe they and we are out to enjoy. Last year my Pat and Adam began encouraging me to help pick up some litter and I am mortified that I have had to
stoop so low.
Regarding your July 20, 2015 feature “Munds Park 4th of July Parade” and
Bill Spain’s ongoing series about the abandoned, blighted and unsafe buildings around Munds Park, I found it ironic that Coconino County continues to
ramp up regulation of the parade because of “safety” concerns – even though
no one has been seriously injured in recent memory – yet the county
Community Development Compliance Manager cavalierly dismisses the well
documented instances of abandoned and falling down buildings which pose an After we, furface critters, are not the ones who, while on our walks, leave fast

food napkins, kleenex, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, beer containers, candy
I have often felt that Munds Park was viewed by Coconino County as a nice
source of revenue, but since most of us don’t vote here we could be treated as
second class citizens. My home in Munds Park is now my primary home and
domicile for voting and I will be paying much closer attention to the way the
county treats the residents of Munds Park. Bravo to Bill Spain for shining a
spotlight on the county’s enforcement priorities and trying to make our
community a better place to live. Keep up the good work Bill.
wrappers, even automobile batteries. As I see it, my job is to provide protection, joy and companionship to the members of my pack - not to clean up after
other furface pack members who desecrate the forest. Furthermore, it’s incomprehensible to us to why certain forest users somehow think it is alright to
trash a place that they presumably are using because of it’s beauty. Jeez, they
must be people who use the expression “dumb as a dog”. Remember, real
MUTS appreciate their forest too much to trash it.

residences and children. Up until 2 years ago we had a cabin on Trout
Creek that was beyond imagination disrepair and the County did nothing
for many years to remedy the problem. Thank god someone purchased
the property and restored it. The County has a responsiblity to protect it’s
residences.

Bill,
Donna and I fully support the PPOA and your efforts to get homeowners
of unsafe and dilapidated houses in Munds Park, repaired or declared a
nuisance by the County.
It is a shame the County has allowed these houses to stay in their current
condition.

Bill,
Thank you so much for the article you wrote in the Pinewood News
concerning the depressed properties in Munds Park, Arizona. I certainly
hope this is a wake up call to the county including the supervisors about
these depressed properties. I believe these depressed properties with all of
their hazardous conditions will attack kids to use as an optical course and
then the unstable structures will collapse on them and receive serious
injuries.
Thanks again for your great effforts.
Bill Hurst

Bill,
As a full-time resident and property owner in Munds Park, I deeply
appreciate your efforts to report the failure of our Coconino County
officials to do their jobs. The county is all too ready to red tag property for
not obtaining a builder permit, which I understand, but their refusal to enforce the oridinances against abandon properties is most disturbing. I
hope your efforts will help the county understand the importance of taking
appropriate action on these hazardous properties before someone is hurt.
Sincerely,
Mike Sims

BOOKS FOR ALL AGES
Here are a few recent releases by well-known authors which do not disappoint and
also a few suggestions for the young adults and toddlers in your life.
Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult
Jodi Picoult fans can count on her for a page turner with well researched moral
dilemma issues. In the past, for example, she has written of terminal illness, donor
children, and teen suicide. In Leaving Time, she weaves a mesmerizing fictional
tale that makes us aware of the plight of endangered elephants. At the heart of the
book is the extraordinary behavior of elephants as research scientist, Alice Metcalf,
devotes her life to investigating how elephants experience grief. Teenage daughter, Jenna, begins a search for Alice, ten years after her mother mysteriously disappears when a co-worker is trampled to death. Jenna refuses to believe her mother
would leave her behind and she corrals two unlikely allies in her quest: Virgil, a
police detective whose career crashed when he botched the investigation ten years
ago of the trampling, and Serenity, a nationally famous clairvoyant, who also fell
from grace when her spirit guides deserted her in the middle of the search for a
senator’s kidnapped child. The three characters share the narration for a fascinating tale that involves noble pachyderms and not so noble humans. And by the end
of the book, I wanted to save every elephant on the planet and have one of my
own.
Gray Mountain by John Grisham
Grisham has created a new legal heroine in Samantha Kofer as she tackles the villain in this story: Big Coal industry in Appalachia. As he has done in the past, Grisham has us rooting for the underdog as they battle against seemingly invincible
evil forces. The story opens when Samantha, along with hundreds of other associates in her Wall Street law firm, are furloughed on day ten after the fall of Lehman
Brothers in September, 2008. At age 29, a graduate of Columbia Law, she was
working 100 hours a week at a tedious job she hated, yet a slave to her salary of
$180,000 a year and on track to a lucrative partnership by age 35. Shortly before
being escorted out of their high-rise offices, the firm offers a fig leaf to former employees. They can keep medical benefits and possibly be re-hired if they agree to
intern with a non-profit agency for a year. As Samantha scrambles to find an internship, she, a magna cum laude grad, faces ten rejections the first day as other
unfortunates have dialed the non-profit numbers more quickly. Finally, she is
granted an interview at the Mountain Legal Aid Clinic in the heart of Appalachia.
Just mere pages into the story, we follow Samantha from glamorous Manhattan to
Brady, Viriginia, population 2,200, where she encounters people and situations unlike any she has ever known.
Her new unpaid job takes her deep into the dangerous world of coal mining where
laws are broken, rules are ignored, and regulations are flouted. Danger lurks
around every mountain pass, not only for the employees but for those who would
attempt to expose Big Coal’s infractions.
But for the first time in Samantha’s career, she has an opportunity to “help real
people with real problems”. Also a first, she prepares a lawsuit and sees the inside
of an actual courtroom. And like most Grisham novels, there are secrets to uncover, an untimely death, some romance, colorful and humorous characters. And
the ultimate question: Will Samantha return to the glamour of NYC or stay and
fight the battle of the impoverished.

We Were Liars by e. lockhart
This young adult novel tells of the Sinclair family who spend their summers on
their private Beechwood island off Martha’s Vineyard. Of the dozen or so members of the family, “No one is a criminal. No one is an addict. No one is a failure.”
These three lies, the first of many, are the opening lines of this story of three teenage cousins and one outsider friend, Gat Patil. Strikingly different than the beautiful blonde haired, fair-skinned Sinclair children, Gat of Indian descent is
dark-skinned, handsome and charismatic. Fifteen-year old Cadence, the narrator,
falls in love with the interloper at first sight (the summer they were both eight.)
However through the summers that follow, his passionate political beliefs, far different than the Sinclairs’, create problems. When Cadence suffers a catastrophic
accident her fifteenth summer that leaves her with crippling migraines and amnesia, she struggles to remember how it happened. She can’t and no one will tell.
Two summers later she returns to the island, trying desperately to remember, to reconstruct what happened, leading to the climax of the story. The book jacket for
We Were Liars says, “If anyone asks you how it ends, just lie.”

Birds of Munds Park #67
Birds of Prey
by Margaret Dyekman
The common names for birds of prey are eagles, hawks, falcons, kites,
harriers, vultures, and owls. In ornithology, "bird of prey" has a narrow
meaning: those birds with very good eyesight for finding food, strong
feet for holding food, and a strong curved beak for tearing flesh. Most
birds of prey also have strong curved talons for catching or killing. So as
I recently discovered, a sea gull, which forages for fish with its beak,
would not fall into the bird of prey category, but an osprey, which
catches fish with its talons and then rips it apart with a curved beak,
would.
Zone-Tailed Hawk
In and around Munds Park we have several birds of prey, and I recently spotted
a new one while I was golfing (again)
one afternoon. A single bird of prey was
soaring above us at the 8th hole of
Pinewood County Club, and it got low
and close enough for a real good look
through my binoculars. My first thought was that it looked different
from our Turkey Vulture, but not that different. When it got closer I
could see a distinctive white band across its tail and broader wings without the distinctive coloration of a Turkey Vulture. Plus, it was solitary –
whereas most of the Turkey Vultures soaring above the Golf Course are
in a group.
I pulled out my trusty iPhone and used the bird ap iBird Plus 7.2 and
whittled it down to two species: Common Black-Hawk or Zone-Tailed
Hawk. Both are black-ish, with the underside wing pattern a bit similar
to that of a Turkey Vulture, but where they live is different. The Common Black-Hawk is found primarily in southern Arizona; the ZoneTailed Hawk, according to my bird aps and books, has a preferred habitat
of deep, wooded canyons and mountainous, rugged areas, hunting in
grasslands or sparse forests. So even though I only got one good look at
this bird (in between golf shots), I am going to say that it was a ZoneTailed Hawk. I can remember what hole I saw the hawk on, but for the
life of me I cannot remember what my next golf shot was like. I guess I
have my priorities straight.
Other birds of prey we can see here are Bald Eagles (occasionally spotted soaring or perched on the limbs of a dead tree), Red-Tailed Hawk
(the most common hawk in the U.S.), Northern Harrier (I saw one hunting just one time in my 15 years here), Peregrine Falcon (occasionally)
and our resident Ospreys. The Ospreys used to have a nest on the east
side of Lake Odell, but for the last two or three years have now built
their nest at the top of a tall dead tree to the south of Hole 13 at
Pinewood Country Club. We have seen as many as four Ospreys at a
time – presumably the parents and two offspring. Other golf courses in
the area that also have resident Ospreys with nests are Forest Highlands
Country Club and Pine Canyon Country Club.

Part Three of an Eight Part Series Investigative Report on the Dangerous Properties that Plague Munds Park
No Paint Needed On This One---
Scrape Off Is The Only Option! By Bill Spain
Matt Ryan, our Board of Supervisors Representative, spoke at the Annual PPOA General Meeting on July 18th at the Pinewood Country Club where he shared that “New”
enforcement provisions may be on the horizon regarding the plight of abandoned, unsafe homes. Mr. Ryan stated that he knew this topic was a “Community Hot Button,”
and the audience confirmed his suspicion with an array of questions and obvious dissatisfaction with the lackluster efforts by the county to actually address this ever
growing safety concern. The core question which went unanswered was “Why does the county not enforce their own ordinances to charge a non-complying property
owner $750 a day when they do not address county red tag provisions for an unsafe, condemed dwelling?” In researching this topic, no liens can be found on any of the
properties that have been cited as far back as five years ago, and yet, the unsafe properties continue to present a hazard to the community, both residents and visitors
both….especially the children.

The lot itself is beautiful, but the “scourge” of the

the last three seasons and has dropped $50,000 in

VIOLATIONS CALL 928-679-8850 OR GO ONLINE AT
WWW.COCONINO.AZ.GOV/COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT
“ The County has a responsibility to protect
people from dangerous, unsafe dwellings.”
The property located across the street from this
wreck had to reduce the selling price of their home
substantially under market value in order to procure
a buyer willing to stare at this eyesore. The continued allowance of unsafe structures such as this
dwelling hurts property values for the neighbors
who do take care of their property.
Barb and Bob Timberman have lived next
door to the vacant forest singlewide for
twenty-five years. “I am just fed-up,” said
Barb Timberman, “The county is not enforcing their own rules and yet they produce a
brochure telling us what a Zoning Violation is
and how the enforcement procedure is supposed to work,” added Timberman, “The
brochure was a complete waste of time and
money, not to mention an exercise in futility,” exclaimed Timberman. Her husband
Bob agrees, “I find it hard to believe that we
can request assistance from our county officials at a public meeting and then be sent a
letter that basically tells us to get lost; typical
county government answer,” stated Bob Timberman. “The arrogance displayed in the letter sent in response to our concerns is
unconscionable,” added Timberman. “It is
obvious that county personnel do not respect our concerns or requests. In the past
ten years I have spoken with Matt Ryan,
Steve White and Lars Forsythe and asked
them to do something; nothing EVER gets
done,” added Bob Timberman.
Barb shared that when speaking with Lars
Forsythe, county code enforcement, he admitted that the property has had more than
a hundred complaints over the years. “They
have red-tagged and condemned the place
three times in the last twenty years and the
decaying mess only gets worse and more
dangerous every day,” added Barb. “When
somebody gets hurt and the county has let
this go on for more than two decades there
will be consequences. Years ago, when local
teens were using the house as target practice with their BB guns, we really thought the
county would finally do something….alas…
that was at least five years ago.”
Sadly, the stories of residents living close to
these unsafe homes are very much the same
from one to the next…they have tried for
years to get relief and assistance from the
county and have been met with the same indifferent and nonchalant mentality. County
personnel may change but the lack of accountability to administer their own rules
and regulations has only worsened. Blatant
disregard of their published zoning ordinances continue to occur as the properties
allowed to languish year after year become
more and more dangerous. What is it going
to take to address this governmental
malaise?

Exercise for Life
USE IT OR LOSE IT!
By
Martha E. Thomas, PT
Do you know of someone who was on prolonged bed rest due to an injury or illness? Perhaps your friend or family member was hospitalized due to a fracture, hip
or knee surgery? Anyone in this situation understands the LOSE IT OR USE IT
RULE. Weakness and muscle wasting occur rapidly when we don’t use our muscles
and supportive bone structure on a daily basis. The human body is designed to move
against gravity. That means being upright, standing, walking and MOVING! You
can be discharged from a stay in the hospital and feel weak as a kitten. Your muscles
get lazy. The same thing happens when you have a fracture and the cast comes off.
The muscles have literally “wasted” or shrunk in size. This translates into being unable to perform your normal activities of daily living. Unless you are out there doing
manual labor all day like my grandparents did on the farm, you have to build exercise and physical activity into your daily life. Create exercise “dates” with yourself
and put it on your calendar like any other important date that you don’t want to forget.
Keep an exercise LOG and track your activities. Reward yourself at the end of
the week if you have achieved your 10,000 steps every day. The journal of the
American Academy of Orthopoedic surgeons had an article about the amazing effects of physical training on the Human Body.” USE IT OR LOSE IT” was the title.
Working out and staying active delays the effects of the aging process. Resistive exercise using hand weights helps to maintain bone density, muscle mass, and tendon
and ligament function. Exercise controls blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol
levels. It improves brain and cardiac health. Studies have shown that strength training and aerobic conditioning like brisk walking or hiking staves off depression by
causing the natural release of endorphins into the blood stream. I can’t find one negative thing about exercise. Others have called it the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
Do you remember Jack LaLane? He was the fitness guru of my parent’s generation. He was still promoting exercise and working out with weights when he was 90.
M ario an d M ario
Landscap ing
and M asonry
One of my favorite Jack LaLane quotes : “I hate leaving a warm woman in a warm
bed to go to a cold gym, but I do it anyway”. I have discovered that strength training with large weights is very empowering. Pumping iron is not just for body
builders. Women especially benefit from strength training due to loss of bone density after menopause. THE BEST EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR WOMEN was a
study done at the University of Arizona for women over 50. Bone mass density or
(BMD) increased significantly when women did strength training 3X weekly using
heavy weights. A weight that you can lift only 6 times before you experience complete fatigue is the way to build BMD and muscle strength. I used this program at
home and found out how much stronger I got when I was working out with heavy
weights instead of light weights. I use to think it was good to use a 5 lb weight for
20 repetitions. I got much stronger using a 15 lb weight for 6-8 repetitions. If you
can’t get to the gym you can do pushups for your upper body and wall squats holding hand weights for your legs. Climbing one flight of stairs 10 times daily will

*Pine needle clean up
pack a power punch for your lower body work out. The rewards for women especially is that resistive weight training will help to prevent fractures of the spine and
hip.
In summary, remember the USE IT OR LOSE IT RULE to stay strong and independent. I have a friend Margaret who is 95. She leaves her warm home in Minneapolis during the cold dark winters to drive to the YMCA 3 times a week to work
out. Margaret still works three days per week running a thrift shop. If she can do it,
we can do it! It is never too late to make a fitness date!

WIPEOUT
Reviewed by Clyde Morrison
Wipeout was the Tween Drama Camp presentation this year. The youth performers were between the ages of 11 and 17, under the direction of Dale Nakagawa.
There were twelve original songs in the play with singing and dancing in each one.
What exuberance and energy these young people had in all the songs! I was told
that the director, Mr. Nakagawa, was also the choreographer for the show and
what a job he and the performers did. There was a lot of memorization for even
the smallest role in the show, and the performers were all up to the task.
The play was a simple story about property that “Mom” and “Pop” owned at the
beach, and they were going to sell it. The Avalon Kids, who loved the beach for
its surfing, were set on trying to save the beach to keep it for the surfing. They
were opposed by the Cove Kids who were trying to take the beach from them. It
all rested on a surfing contest between the champ of the Avalons and the Coves.
Just before the contest the Avalon champ, Riptide, hurt his leg, and a girl, Midge,
had to take his place.
The story was not all that exciting, but the choreography and energy of
these young actors and actresses was infective. The girl in the lead, Midge, was
played by a dynamic and exciting Camryn Consolian. She was constantly in motion trying to save the beach, but the most impressive section for me was when she
got on that surfboard and showed such a determined look on her face. She was
going to win the contest, and there was no question about it. What a performance!
The two male leads, Riptide and Reef played by Kaleb Tompkins and
Nick Kenehan, were also up to their tasks. Both kept into character so well that
they made us believe they were actually the surfers. Kaleb was the blond, good
looking, hero with the shy smile that all the girls loved, and Nick was the dark
haired villain who would do anything, including cheat, to win. Nick had a strong
speaking and singing voice that carried to the back of the theater. While these two
boys were leads, other boys showed that they could carry their parts well also and
were not bashful as some boys are at that age. Elliot Hull as Pop, the aged surfer
and father of Midge, gave a very believable performance right down to his limping
with a cane. Ryan McGraw, Cameron Edenfield, Chris Kenehan, Evan Searls,

and C. J. Hanson had speaking parts and did an excellent job entertaining us with
their different characterizations.
The girls, in addition to Camryn Consolian, also had great parts. I thoroughly enjoyed Mattie Mitchell with her inability to rhyme her speeches although
she tried. Madison Edmonds kept moving throughout the play while listening to
music on a small transistor radio or tape. Her engine never stopped, and she certainly was one of the important reasons for the tremendous energy of the group.
Another of the girls that I enjoyed was Claire Haller who played Wendy. Claire
had stage presence and a smile that drew us into the scene. She seemed to enjoy
the music and the dancing, and that made the audience realize that we enjoyed it
also. And, also Wipeout had that person on the beach with the metal detector
looking for buried treasure. Paige Petrine was great, popping in and out of scenes,
until she finally found the gold cup that had been won by Pop in a surfing contest.
As usual, in a play like this, there are many helpers backstage setting the
scenery, painting, making costumes organizing, and on and on. Kathy
Abramowitz was the producer. Kathy Wendling was assistant producer with
Madilyn MacFarland as a student assistant. Madilyn was a drama camp veteran
who was tireless in her work with the campers and the production. Every play
needs that someone who goes out of her way to help wherever she is needed. I
am told that Madilyn was that person. Set construction chiefs were Stewart
Lanier and David Westmark. The very difficult job of working with the young
voices belonged to the music director from NAU, Stephanie Whitaker. With so little time for preparation, she had these teens singing with gusto the thirteen original
songs.
Dale Nakagawa, the director, was talented in many ways, and we were
certainly lucky that he agreed to take charge of the whole program this year. What
a wonderful job all of these crew adults did to make a very enjoyable evening.
Thank you.
As to the older teens who are moving on from drama camp, we are looking forward to seeing you in the Pinewood Players performances on the main stage
in the future.

Munds Park Sales Results YTD Are STELLAR
ALL INDICATORS POINT
TO A RECORD SALES YEAR
By Bill Spain, Designated Broker“Broker Tid-Bits”
Half way through the year, sales are robust for Munds Park properties with
values returning to the pre-recession time period in Northern Arizona and
only off seven percent from metropolitan Phoenix valuation peaks.
Housing sale supply is low statewide, helping to nudge prices back up to
the pre-real estate collapse of 2008/2009.
Ninety Seven (97) properties have changed hands in Munds Park through
July 27th, this year versus Eighty-three (83) for the same time period last
year. Statistically, this equates to $19,184,640 in sales in zone 740 so far
this year versus $15,174,600 for the same time period last year….a 20.1%
increase in volume. Very, very healthy! Sellers are achieving 94% of their
asking price YTD versus 92% last year. July results came in at 95% of
asking price. More and more properties are selling for closer to their
asking price with prices going up monthly. Days on market have hovered
at 122 days as an average.
ARIZONA HELPING HANDS SUPPORTS
`DCS CASEWORKERS
Programs provide opportunities for bonding and
communication with children in care.
SCOTTSDALE (July 22, 2015) Arizona
Helping Hands (“AHH”) provides basic
needs, including beds, cribs, clothing
and much more to boys and girls in foster care. Their programs continue to
grow and they’ve seen phenomenal growth – as evidenced by the
fact that AHH provided 193 beds and cribs to children in foster
care in the month of June alone - a whopping 640% growth over
the 30 beds and cribs provided in June of 2014!
Part of this growth has been accomplished by connecting with
workers in the Department of Child Safety (“DCS”) system. Dan
Shufelt, President and CEO tells us that “AHH has made consistent efforts to collaborate and support DCS caseworkers. Over
the past weeks, I have met with caseworkers and Program Managers to be sure they know about the services we provide. Our
Birthday Dreams program provides a package of toys and books,
wrapped and decorated with care by our volunteers to celebrate

“It’s all about the kids”, Shufelt says. “We are here to help in any
way we can to ease the burden on boys and girls in foster care.
Aiding the caseworker serves the purpose of helping these kids,
and that’s the bottom line.”
A note on the Organization’s website www.azhelpinghands.org
sums up why they do this work – Alice says ““The Birthday Package was such a blessing to a little girl who has experienced so
much in her short life. Thank you for your generosity and your
creative thinking. You brought a big smile to a young girl.”

Book Review Continued by Vy Armour
For the young children in your life. I recommend two picture books that, I promise,
you will enjoy reading aloud to them. Both are about colors. One is beautiful both
in verse and illustrations and the other is just plain fun, yet thought provoking.

What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to
doing what they do best? This spontaneous strike calls for quick action. Almost instantly, the aspiring artist becomes a mediator. A fun and creative read yet without
enough depth to warrant many lesson plans and classroom discussion.
I close with the words of Neil Galman, Books make great gifts because they have
the whole world inside of them. And it’s much cheaper to buy someone a book than
it is to buy them the whole word. I hope that you will explore many new worlds
through books.

Lightning Safety:
When a Safe Building or Vehicle is Nearby
There is little you can do to substantially reduce your risk if you are outside in a thunderstorm. The only completely safe action is to get inside a
safe building or vehicle.
When a Safe Location is not Nearby
If you absolutely cannot get to safety, you can slightly lessen the threat
of being struck with the following tips. But don't kid yourself--you are
NOT safe outside. Know the weather patterns of the area you plan to
visit. For example, in mountainous areas, thunderstorms typically develop in the early afternoon, so plan to hike early in the day and be down
the mountain by noon. Listen to the weather forecast for the outdoor
area you plan to visit. The forecast may be very different from the one
near your home. If there is a high chance of thunderstorms, stay inside.
Avoid open fields, the top of a hill or a ridge top.
Stay away from tall, isolated trees or other tall objects. If you are in a
forest, stay near a lower stand of trees.
If you are in a group, spread out to avoid the current traveling between
group members.
If you are camping in an open area, set up camp in a valley, ravine or
other low area. Remember, a tent offers NO protection from lighting.
Stay away from water, wet items, such as ropes, and metal objects, such
as fences and poles. Water and metal do not attract lightning but they
are excellent conductors of electricity. The current from a lightning flash
will easily travel for long distances.

UPDATE

by Mac Jett
IS IT OKAY TO QUESTION
GOD?
Before we address this important
question we must first realize that we
as humans can't begin to truly comprehend the power, Majesty and
goodness of God. That's one reason
that Jesus walked this earth...to help
us understand, as best we can, the attributes of God. Here are a few of
His attributes: He is omnipotent (all
powerful), omnipresent (He is everywhere), omniscient (He knows the
past, present and future). He is eternal, holy righteous, compassionate,
and full of grace and love...is there
any doubt that we can't fully understand Him?
So, is it wrong for we mortals to
question God? It depends on the reason and in what manner we question
Him.
The prophet Habakkuk had questions
for God and many of the Psalms have
questions for God. The Bible is proof
that God is not afraid of questions, He
wants to have a close and personal
relationship with us. We can question
God but we shouldn't expect an answer unless we are truly interested in
His answer...and it may be an answer
that we don't like or understand.
So when we question God, and I
suspect we all have, it should be with
a humble and respectful attitude
always remembering that He knows if
we really want Him to enlighten us.
So is it right or wrong...the answer is
really pretty simple...our attitude
determines whether it is okay to
question God.

WHO ARE WE?
We are a non-denominational church,
which simply means that regardless
of your denominational background
(or lack of same) you are welcome to
attend and worship with us Saturday
evenings at 6:30pm and/or Sunday
mornings at 10:30am. Adult and children's Sunday school begins at
8:30am Sunday mornings.
ONGOING AT MPCC
Prayer Meeting—Friday evenings at
6pm at the church. Everyone is invited...we hope you will attend.
Saturday Evening Service—at
6:30pm. This service is more contemporary than our traditional Sunday
morning service, but will feature the
same sermon, presented by Pastor
On the first Saturday and Sunday of
each month the church offers Communion to all who are present. This
is an open Communion, which means
you do not have to be a member of
the church to participate.
The second Sunday of each month is
potluck Sunday. Everyone is invited
whether you bring food or not. This
is a great time to meet people in a
casual environment, make new
friends and enjoy good food. The
potluck follows the 10:30am Sunday
service.
DUAL MEMBERSHIP
Many of our members are also
members of other churches. Most
churches allow this dual membership
for those who spend time in two
different locales. If you belong to a
church somewhere else and would
like more information about also joining MPCC, Pastor Steve will be
happy to answer any questions you
might have.
YOU ARE CORDIALLY
INVITED
If you don’t have a church home here
in Northern Arizona, we hope you’ll
consider joining us. We would love
to see you at any, or all, of our weekly
activities.
