For twelve years both Bob and Joan Archer have been captains of the light show in our Village. Like Santa and his elves, they are tired and they will retire from this project at the end of this holiday season. It is hard to express how much we appreciate all their work. Thank you does not seem to cover it. They did all the planning, they purchased all the lights, they tested all the lights, they recruited all the volunteers, directed the volunteers and gave a lot of time and effort to make our Village shine during the holiday. Enjoy the lights, take your friends and family on a tour of our beautiful lights and remember to thank Joan and Bob for their twelve years of dedication and hard work. WELCOME BACK!

WWW.LORIBLANK.COM Broker/Owner, PLLC, CRS, ABR, GRI Certified for Internet Transactions 4 December, 2012 Community Corner Do You Know Sue Wright The Board of Directors met on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, in the Superstition Center. All of the Board members were present for the meeting Steering Committee Reports: • Activity Committee: Very active again now that the winter season is upon us. Many compliments to the committee for the presentation of the Neighborhood Feud game Terri Robles has resigned from the committee due to health reasons, and Chair Claudia Vaughn proposed the name of Ann Glaus to fill that vacancy. The Board passed on the motion for the recommendation. Terri was thanked for her service and dedication to the Activity committee. • Architectural Committee: Don Wagner and Ralph Krueger have resigned from the Architectural Committee after years of service. Chair Al Lehman recommended replacing them with Bill Pritchard as Vice Chair and Leonard Schroeder as member. The Board passed on the motion for the recommendation. Both Don and Ralph were thanked for their years of service on the committee and to the community. • Budget and Finance: Chair Sue Wright announced the budget is complete and a copy of the budget will be sent to each homeowner with their January Statement. There will be an increase in the yearly assessment of $50.00 or $25.00 each six months or $4.16 per month. The last increase in assessment was 2009 • Buildings and Grounds: The five year plan will be presented to the Board of Directors at the workshop on November 28, 2012 • Communications Committee: Donna Whalen, Secretary, explained the committee’s choice for the new web team design company, “Seen Best”. After discussion, a motion was made to accept this company and the motion passed. A new web team leader for MBV will be announced soon. • Volunteer Committee: Chair Dawn Wagner requested the board consider LuAnn Oakley to fill the vacancy on the steering committee. The motion passed and LuAnn was welcomed to the committee. President’s Report: Bob Meinecke discussed the vision statement and the mission statements for MountainBrook Village. The vision statement has been in effect for some time. We work to improve the quality of life for our members and to enhance the value of the Village We strive to provide an attractive community for members, guests and future homeowners. We provide a full range of recreational activities for the enjoyment of our members. We provide these services and maintain our common property at dues levels to appeal to most members. We consistently use our most diligent efforts to establish and maintain a sense of community for all members. Bob asked for a motion to accept the mission statement. The motion passed. The Vision Statement for Mountain Brook Village: "A scenic community with open spaces and a variety of amenities and activities that create a friendly and enjoyable lifestyle." The storm damage to the washes of Eagle Rock was discussed. An official statement from Pinal County still has not been received. An engineering company gave the BOD an estimate on addressing the washes that were affected by the September storm. David Jones was asked to get two more bids before a decision can be made. Bob Meinecke discussed the bylaws for the organization. He explained the difficulty the board has on purchasing capital improvements for the Village with the restriction of $10,000.00 as stated in the bylaws. If any item, such as a stage curtain, is to be purchased over the $10.000.00 limit, then that purchase must be approved by the residents of the village. This takes time and money to hold this type of election. He suggested that instead of having a capital equipment line item on the budget, the bylaws be changed so every Board will be limited to 5% of the annual assessment each year. After discussion, a motion to amend the bylaws regarding the $10.000 limit to 5% of the annual assessment was made and passed. This amendment will be on the March ballot for resident approval. Two thirds of the residents voting must approve this change to the bylaws. Managers’ Report: All of the new sink faucets have been installed in the Superstition Building bathrooms. The new ice maker has been installed in the Sunset Room. Recycle revenue of $560.00 was distributed to the Boys and Girls Club. There will be notifications of January statements by E-mail and Phone blasts. Any residents who have not signed up for this service are urged to come to the office and sign up. A notice will also be posted on the Web Site. David Jones explained the electronic tablet system that is being proposed for the Board of Directors use. This system will secure all information as well as save money in printing and paper. He will get a sample and train all BOD members on the use, and then a decision will be made at a later date. The air conditioning problem in the Superstition Building kitchen was postponed until February. Mike Worthy has volunteered to head the elections group for 2013. The proposed election procedure was presented to the Board, and after some minor clarification changes, it was accepted. Ralph and Dianna Krueger were thanked for their dedication to the elections for a number of years and to Dianna for helping write the new procedure. Bob Meinecke asked all residents interested in serving on the Board of Directors to get an application at the office. NOW YOU KNOW!!

See page 5 5 December, 2012 From the Editor THE COLOR “MUD” Cis Haines This month we had a great time presenting the TV game, The Neighborhood Feud. It was so great to hear all the laughter and see the smiling faces. It started when the six guys in black spoofed our high-tech curtain and the contestants were so into the game, the audience could not help but enjoy the evening. The $20,000 and new car prizes were not bad either. Our challenge is always, how do we do better the next time? And how do we get more people to fit in the Superstition Center? We will put our thinking caps on and let you know the plans soon. Meanwhile enjoy all the fun activities planned for the season ahead. Caring Corner Arlene Pytko, Caring Corner Chairman Illness: Jack Pawlowski, SS Wayne Stewart, DF Marion Nichols, IWII Peggy Malsom Several years ago when I was living in Nampa, Idaho, I decided to paint my house. I perused home improvement magazines, got paint sample brochures from stores and spent hours driving through various neighborhoods picking out favorite color combinations. When the deed was done, my son stood in the front yard looking at the results. He has a way with words and of cutting to the core of the matter. He said, “Congratulations, Mom. It’s not brown. It’s not gray. It’s mud.” The color was actually a very trendy taupe with an even trendier name I’ve since forgotten. It was set off by a brightly painted raspberry-colored door that I loved. I still do. The subsequent owners haven’t changed either color; the “mud” or the raspberry door. I relate this story about paint color as I’ve been hearing a lot about the new paint colors at MBV. Everyone seems to have an opinion. For the record, I like them. Also for the record, I wasn’t on the committee or team that picked them. Here’s why I like them. The terra cotta color picks up the color from the tile roof; the desert green matches the nearby trees, bushes and cactus while the base color fits the natural color of the surrounding hillsides. All complement each other. If you don’t agree, that’s okay. There is something you can do about it. Board elections are upon us. You can run for office and become part of the change. Express your opinion, sit on a committee, volunteer, and make a difference. If you don’t, this is what can happen. You can end up with someone like me making a decision for you. Remember, I’m the one who chose to paint my house the color of “mud.” Now that should give you a reason to reconsider. KEEP OFF THE GRASS Peggy Malsom In Memory: Jack Workman, FV Beth Hoss, IWII Stan Weeks, SS Virgil Hedlund, DG Gloria Powell, HC If you should hear of someone who has passed away or is ill, Please call Arlene @ 288-8011. Thank you. Our very own MountainBrook Follies is a perfect way to start the New Year. We hope you already have your reserved tickets but if you don’t, come into the office and get yours now. The tickets are only $8.00 each. You will enjoy sitting at cabaret style tables; you can even bring snacks and drinks to the show which starts at 7 p.m. on Friday, January 11 and again on Saturday, January 12. The doors will open at 6:30. We promise fun, laughter and maybe a tear. Variety is on tap and there is not one single big name entertainer. As Ed Sullivan used to say, “It’s a really big show”. If you are new to MountainBrook, the Follies is our big variety show which stars our very own residents, but we need you to be there too. See you there! I’ve never much been one for rules. It always seemed like when it came to drawing a line in the sand, they drew it right in front of me and in the direction I was heading. In other words, it was someone else’s rule meant to thwart me. I figured my rules were as good as theirs. They could keep theirs, I’d follow mine. You can see the dilemma. One simple rule that always bothered me was “Keep off the Grass.” Well then, why bother planting it? This just irked me to no end. In high school we had a campus-style setting with sidewalks connecting buildings around grassy open space which no one was ever allowed to step on let alone use. Twenty five years later when I returned to substitute teach there, students were eating their lunches or just sprawling on the grass enjoying the noon sunshine. I took guilty pleasure in belatedly stepping off the cold, hard sidewalk and onto the soft, welcoming grass. Still I recognize the need for rules. In my own classroom we had one rule; Respect Yourself and Respect Others. Over the years I repeatedly found it covered every situation a seventh grader could conceive. Too many rules just encouraged the more creative to invent ways around them. I know because I was one of those kids. Remember, I kinda have my own internal set of rules. So it was with some trepidation that I approached the topic of the Pool Rules at MBV. It seems to me rules should be in place for a couple of reasons: safety and enjoyment of the facilities. So I read the Rules. They are posted on the fence. They are in the new resident packet given to each incoming homeowner. There is a brochure in the office titled “Be a Good Neighbor, Obey the Pool Policy”. They are online at the MBV website. But if a recap would help, here they are in my own words: Respect Yourself and Respect Others. Oh, and one more. Follow the posted pool rules! They are there for your safety and enjoyment as well as the safety and enjoyment of our guests. I’ll just add one more. Keep off the grass. See it’s really easy. December, 2012 A BEARY MERRY CHRISTMAS Peggy Malsom Recently I found a checklist from our first year at MountainBrook V illage. I had even given it a title; Getting ready for the Holidays at MBV: Sign up for Christmas lights tour to Prescott Buy Christmas dinner dance tickets Sign up to set out luminaries Order our luminaries Sign up Dennis to help put up lights Attend Ken & Kathy’s after concert dessert party Buy Christmas tree That final one hasn’t always been an easy task. We lived in Alaska for five years. You would think Alaska would have awesome trees. Think again. Washington has awesome trees. Oregon has awesome trees. Most of Alaska is too cold for too long. Our first year there, my daughter and I picked out what we thought was the best one on 6 the lot. After six years in Alabama we couldn’t wait to have a big, tall beautiful northwest tree to decorate. We packed it home in our white Subaru which is actually another story for another time. White car/white snow/use your imagination for now. We dug out the Christmas decorations and located the tree stand we had used for years. Only then did we discover that the tree trunk was about ten times too large to fit any normal-sized stand. We started cutting and trimming the tree trunk to fit. What we were left with was a Charlie Brown tree with gaping holes between the branches. All of the luxurious, beautiful branches had been sacrificed along with the too large trunk. The ornaments only accentuated the glaring holes and gaps. In desperation I told the kids to go get their stuffed animals, especially the bears. After all, I figured, we were in Alaska. Real moose were in our front yard eating leaves, twigs and our shrubs while bear scat fertilized our back yard. We would do a theme Christmas tree. We hung animals from branches and stuffed bears into cave-like holes. At the top we even replaced the usual angel with a Steiff bear that year. It was the worst tree I’ve ever bought and it received the most compliments of any tree I’ve ever decorated. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’m a little nervous about buying a Christmas tree in Arizona. Do you have any suggestions about where to find a nice 8’ Noble fir with a slim trunk? Hmm, maybe we’ll find one when we drive up to Prescott to see the Christmas lights. Too bad we don’t have that old white Subaru. Then we could head up to snowy Flagstaff to cut our own. No, that’s how we lost that car the first time. Maybe we’ll just string some lights on the saguaro out front and call it good for this year. I think there’s a stuffed bear on the shelf in the second bedroom that should fit nicely in the crook of its arm. MURDER IN MOUNTAINBROOK Bill Wash Marsha is addicted to reading sleazy mystery novels. So, when Marsha overhears her husband, Tobias's conversation with Persis, Marsha assumes that Persis is Tobias's new girlfriend and they are plotting to do her in. Feeling alone and vulnerable, Marsha seeks the aid of her naive next door neighbor, Virgil Baxter, for protection and to help her turn the tables on Tobias and Persis. And, so the comedic plots begin to twist and thicken. Actors in the play are Karen Carnahan, Shirley Renstrom, Cathy Longman, Barb Stuart, Mike Worthy, Bill Wash and Parker Shipley. Play dates are February 28 - March 3, 2013. Tickets for Let’s Murder Marsha, a hilarious comedy, will go on sale on January 15, 2013, at Tuesday Morning Coffee and News and will be available for purchase in the Activity Office every day thereafter. Tickets are still only $10.00 each for reserved seats which means you can select your seat location which is then guaranteed, so grab your seat selections early. 7 Dear Amy Dear Amy: Why is it that people who complain the loudest do the least work? Anyone who accuses you of cheating would only do so themselves? How about criticizing and complaining? It seems to me you should only be allowed to do that when you contribute and help with solutions. Since when has a please and thank you gone out of style? Signed: Tired of Hearing it Dear Hearing it: My mother taught me years ago that “Cheaters never win and winners never cheat.” It can sometimes appear that a cheater benefits, but remember that your character is determined by what you do when no one is watching. As for complainers, I once worked at a job where you weren’t allowed to complain unless you also furnished a solution to the problem. So the next time you hear a complaint, try to respond with, “And your solution would be….” FYI: I try to avoid people who constantly criticize me. They are generally unhappy and just plain wrong. They are also probably cheaters. Please try to have a nice day. Thank you for writing. Dear Amy: I like to go to Whine & Cheese, but I bring my own wine and don’t eat the cheese. Do I still have to pay $1.00? Signed: BYOB no C Dear BYOB no C: The $1.00 donation purchases the cheese, grapes, apples or whatever the snack is for Whine and Cheese. It is a token amount so people can enjoy a treat with their wine. I personally think that adds to the ambiance and enjoyment of the event. The donation, however, is strictly on a voluntary basis. Dear Amy: The November Ethnic Dinner was a delicious, 7-course Chinese meal served al fresco at the Jade Grill in Superior. Since we lived in Asia, we are very particular. Kudos to whoever chose this restaurant. At the end of the meal, however, we played a game neither my wife nor I had ever played. After opening the fortune cookies, participants took turns reading them aloud then adding the words “between the sheets.” For example, In December, 2012 the end all things will be known…between the sheets. Or this one, If you can’t decide up or down try moving from side to side…between the sheets. I’m not making this up. These were real fortunes. I’ll have to admit we all laughed, but it was pretty silly. Have you ever heard of this game? Signed: Sweet & Sour Dear Sweet (or are you Sour?): Not only have I heard of this game, in my youth I played it. Before X-boxes and computers, kids and young adults played “parlor games” like the one you describe. Remember charades, twenty questions, tiddlywinks or the Ouija board? Parlor games were from the Victorian era and seem pretty innocent compared to some modern computer games. I’m sorry your youthful adventures didn’t include such frivolity, but better late than never. I’ve also eaten at the Jade Grill and second your recommendation. For those who haven’t, find it on Highway 60 in Superior or first visit their website jadegrillasianbbq.com for directions. Telephone #520-689-2885, closed Monday & Tuesday. It is worth the scenic drive. Try the food then try adding “between the sheets” to your fortune. Some are funnier than others (see above examples), so let me know how it worked out for you.

Dr. Mary Stokrocki’s Real Life Peggy Malsom Suppose for a minute that you suffered a brain injury making it impossible to do simple things. Your life would change and your world would shrink dramatically. MountainBrook Village resident Dr. Mary Stokrocki offers an alternative to people dealing with loss, disabilities or suffering with depression by providing a supportive online environment. This combination of art and technology is called Second Life. Mary created Second Life as an “artful place that can heal sadness and loss.” She states that “everyone has some disability…” then provides a framework in which art is created and showcased. Since the computer makes this easily adaptable, it allows “the disabled to do similar things to the abled” while socializing and having fun thus adding to their quality of life. Mary has spent a great deal of time exploring Art and Spirituality in Second Life where people are developing “not only new forms of art, but new forms of living.” Additionally, she has created the more 9 practical Second Life Medical, Ethical and Educational Implications. She calls it a “Good place to start: Online support for healing.” She continues to explain, “Second Life is one of 60 virtual worlds where avatars build businesses, network, take courses, make art and entertain each other. Everything is made by them.” In case you missed the movie, an avatar is “a digital persona that you can create and customize. It’s you – only in 3D.” That should be enough to fill anyone’s agenda, but Mary isn’t just anyone. She is a Professor of Art at Arizona State University and a distinguished Fulbright Scholar. Last summer this prestigious scholarship paid for Stocks • Mutual funds • Bonds • Government securities Tax-Advantaged bonds • CDs • Money market funds • IRAs ...and much more. Call or stop by today!

December, 2012 her transportation, room and board to teach at the National Chiayu University in Taiwan. Besides her undergraduate and graduate classes, Mary was invited to speak at four universities. While teaching in Taiwan, Mary had the opportunity to present the benefits of Second Life to a group of fifty physicians. Pretend you are a doctor with a patient who is nervous about a procedure such as radiation therapy or a stress test. You could refer that patient to Second Life where s/he could role play the procedure and alleviate the anxiety. Second Life also offers an ethics discussion forum with links to topical issues such as long-term care, HIV/AIDS and human organ transplantation. Mary hopes to empower people by teaching them through technology. In the virtual world there are no restrictions or limitations. This type of learning is a huge step beyond the traditional classroom. Additionally, the virtual world of Second Life is especially appealing to the disabled because “when you are disabled in real life, you aren’t disabled in Second Life.” Her ground-breaking work for Second Life has brought her national and international recognition. And that’s in her real life.

A Sneak Peek at the Canyon Art Festival Bob Homann The 13th annual Canyon Arts Festival sponsored by the Gold Canyon Arts Council will be held on Saturday, January 26 from 9 am to 4 pm on the grounds of the United Methodist Church on King’s Ranch Rd. Last year, we were amazed as attendance ballooned unexpectedly to 6,700, almost double that of the previous year, probably due to beautiful weather and great publicity from the media. Many of the artists reported their sales were very good and some say this is the best one day art show in the state. Attendees loved the musical entertainment arranged by Artistic Director Jack Kukuk. This year, we have a comprehensive Traffic/Parking Plan developed in cooperation with Pinal County Special Events and the PCSO which we believe is going to smooth out some of the delay in getting cars parked and people into the Festival. That said, it is still quite a challenge to move traffic efficiently given the layout of our roads and the surge of New Year’ s Eve Join us on Monday, December 31, 2012 in the Superstition Center Enjoy the great band, great food and great party (BYOB). 6:30pm social, 7 pm catered dinner and 8-12 dance to music from the 50” & 60’s with the Fairlanes. They promise you nostalgic music perfect for dancing. Tickets are $35 (tickets go on sale on 11/20 and cut off is 12/21) Our Very Own Follies Sit in Cabaret style atmosphere with your friends and enjoy your fellow residents entertain you with fun, funny and touching acts. Bring your own snacks (BYOB) and relax. It will be fun, Variety is the word of the day. Choose the dates of Friday, January 11 or Saturday, January 12th. The doors open at 6:30 pm and the show begins at 7 pm. Tickets are on sale now and cost is only $8. 1,000 cars arriving in a short time window so we do anticipate some delays on US 60 and on King’s Ranch Rd. even with the plan in place. If you can, come to the Festival from the north rather than the south or by walking over. And since the crowds thin out quite a bit by 1-2 pm, consider coming in the afternoon. We are reducing the number of artist spots from 100 to 85 to allow more width in the aisles that parallel King’s Ranch Rd. and widening the aisle leading west to the food court. This should make access to the artist booths easier. Artistic Director Jack Kukuk is arranging another stellar line up of musical performers that you will enjoy including some favorites returning from past festivals. A new feature will be a medical station staffed by two AJFD EMTs for the duration of the event in case of medical emergencies. Finally, we are adding more food vendors so there should be less waiting in line for food and beverages. A beautiful new festival poster by local artist Sue Anne Dickey will be available for purchase. Sales of the poster help underwrite Walkin’ The Line A Tribute to Johnny Cash On Thursday, January 24, 2013, you can hear all the Johnny Cash songs you love. Hear Scott Moreau, with his live country band, in his amazing tribute performance to the Man in Black. Come to the Superstition Center, doors open at 6:30pm and the show begins at 7pm.

The Arts Council and its members invite you to attend and enjoy this wonderful event and to support our local artists and musicians by showing interest in their work and purchasing something from them for yourself or for others.

Jerry, his wife JoAnn and son Jason are originally from Illinois and moved to MBV four years ago. Jerry started making stained wood pictures as a hobby. The wood pieces are on long boards and laser cut when they arrive at his home. Jerry numbers each piece, sometimes over 150 pieces per picture. He custom stains each piece, assembles the pieces by starting at the top and working down to make the picture. Each piece is glued onto a cardboard and then the entire picture is put into a frame. Each picture takes approximately 40-50 hours to complete.
