I am proud to announce that we raised $70,500 and it is being sent to the Wounded Warrior Project today.

Arizona Highways, the New York Times, and the Seasonal Chef are applauding the success of Chef John Sharpe in the remote high desert of Northern Arizona. One of my friends and her husband recently traveled over 100 miles to celebrate her 35th wedding anniversary there. Retired folk groups from local churches are filling vans with patrons on a pilgrimage to the Turquoise Room. They are all raving about the food, service and ambiance. I shouldn't be surprised about all the accolades when I look at Chef Sharpe's resume. John Sharpe and his wife Patricia opened the Turquoise Room in fall 2000 after owning four restaurants and a catering business in southern California for many years. His career began in England as an apprentice chef in a five-star hotel. Graduating from the Westminster Hotel School, he moved to Switzerland, where he worked and studied for three more years. Sharpe spent another two years cooking in other European countries before moving to Los Angeles in the mid 1970s. Chef John Sharpe,owner of the Turquoise Room Restaurant A contributing and defining part of his latest restaurant in Winslow is the Churro lamb cassoulet. Churro lamb is totally and completely unique to the Northern Arizona high desert. From a foodie point of view, savoring Churro lamb in the southwest is tantamount to experiencing Brest chicken in Brest, France. The meat expresses the soil, climate, culture of the Navajo region for which Churro was bred. Other place-based items on the menu include certified Angus Choice Prime Rib Roast au jus (“Best end-cut I’ve had in years,” proclaims one well-heeled traveler), traditional Hopi Piki bread and elk medallions. Chef Sharpe uses local ingredients and incorporates into his menu many indigenous ASPEN ANNIE’S LANDSCAPING, INC foods that are both important food sources and also important to the ritual and spiritual and symbolic lives of the Native Americans of the region. “I’m not limited anymore to simply southwest cuisine... I try to be a bit more local-foods focused with the restaurant now,” reveals Chef Sharpe. As a member of Chef’s Collaborative he works to encourage local growers to provide the restaurant with sustainablygrown foods of all kinds. La Posada Inn Winslow Founded in 1993, Chefs Collaborative provides its members with tools for running economically healthy, sustainable food service businesses. Chef Sharpe is also involved with Slow Food USA which envisions a future food system that is based on the principles of high quality and taste, environmental sustainability, and social justice. In keeping with those values, Chef Sharpe buys Churro lamb from nearby Navajo herders, traditional Piki corn bread from Hopi pueblo women, and goat cheese from local farmers. Squash blossoms come from Phoenix and there’s “halibut caught by Native Americans from Alaska in the kitchen now,” said Chef Sharpe when I was there.

CAREY WHITE I had some bad news last week… a friend and former volunteer passed away unexpectedly and much too early. Carey White was the Pastor at Munds Park Community Church, a volunteer firefighter/EMT and a friend. He helped my mother through her fight with cancer, even visiting her when she went to Phoenix. He stopped by to see my mother the day after she died, he had tears in his eyes when I told him. He had planned to get there a couple of days earlier but life had gotten in his way. I hope I made him understand how much his visits had meant to my mother. Carey went out of his way to help the community and its residents during any type of family emergency. When a death occurred, he often stayed with spouses until family could make the 2-3 hour drive up the hill. He was always at the hospital visiting his parishioners and any other Pinewood residents who might be in the hospital. I don’t remember the exact years he was part of our department and community, but he was a truly caring and giving man as long as I knew him. He always had a smile and a hardy laugh. He was “harassed” by the female department members during training. He became our “training mannequin” and we often swung him upside down in the Evac-U-Splint, made him blush when he had to strap Gina onto the backboard and when someone unobtrusively stuck a foam nozzle down the back of his turnouts. He took this all with a smile, a laugh and a sense of humor. He only asked that we not use the Lord’s name in vain… a tall order for some of us, but we tried. Back in the day…. As today, our department was filled with caring, dedicated and, at that time, well trained volunteers. Carey was one of them. I missed him when he left Munds Park, and I miss him now that he has gone home to the Lord he loved and in whose image he existed. 5 e Dav CANTRELL CoNsTRuCTioN CompANy 928-286-9599 • Cell 928-606-6608 Licensed General Contractor Specializing in Remodels & Additions.

I remember when we used to sit quietly by the radio every morning at 8 a.m. waiting for the trivia question of the day on KOLT radio I think it was. Between all of us, we were pretty good at trivia. We got through more often than not, in fact, the DJ’s began to recognize my voice and call me by name. Pete told them that we were NACFUI (nac-fu-e) Northern Arizona Center for Useless Information. We prided ourselves on that name. I got through on a question of what groups of animals were called… I got it right… They asked me how I knew and I told them I had the list in my file cabinet. Pete used it in his EMT class. The first time I ever got through on the trivia line was the Monday before my Paramedic written test and I was sitting home in my pajamas with my medical dictionary on my lap. The question was related to a type of phobia which were all listed in the back of the medical dictionary. I am willing to bet I was the only person sitting with a medical dictionary on their lap next to a phone! I won a tape of Faith Hill. The DJ, who happened to live out here, brought it to me at the fire station.

We all brought food and beverages and we built a huge bon fire in the middle of the cul-desac. The next year they paved the roads so we had to take the “Flatlanders” party outside the Park. We moved it a couple times and finally settled on the opening on the right about one mile out on FS 240. It was close enough that everyone could come out for food and we still were able to respond quickly to emergency calls. We had snow one year and had to move it into Bill and Gina’s garage. One year we all (at least those not on duty) decided to make it an overnight camp out. I slept in the back of my car in a sleeping bag, some had tents, some had campers and one even slept on a boat. One year we had Uncle George and his little green tractor dig a hole and we buried a pig and turkeys! Most of the time we had brats, hot dogs, and hamburgers with all the side dishes and fixings. The parties started at 11 a.m. and went to 2 and 3 a.m. but they got much shorter as we got older. Like 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Brad always took care of fire wood for the bon fires and we had huge bon fires. Most of the time several of us sat around until it went out and covered it with dirt. But one year it was so big we had to go back and get a fire truck to put it out. There was a lot of friendship, comraderie and just plain fun. Not to say the new generation isn’t fun, we just all have different tastes and we’re in a different world. But the good old days are fond memories!

You’re tired, busy. You throw something together for dinner that is quite adequate. But you don’t like to do adequate, so step up your game with an array of single serving dessert options that took almost no time to do but look as if you run a five-star restaurant. (Not really. I made that last part up. But an array of dessert options will improve your diners’ memory of dinner.) Thus, Quick Cook Tip #9: QC Tip#9 Wow ‘em with dessert if dinner is ordinary. Okay, sounds good right? But three dessert options? Seriously? Yep! People like options. Makes them think they’re at a fine eatery. And these are easypeasy. All it takes is a little prep, and you’re good to go. Put them on a tray or buffet table and let people choose one or more. And these desserts are soooo good, I am including them in an upcoming culinary mystery book I’ve tentatively titled it Devil’s Food Wake (a witch story with the murder of a coven member). That should be a good book for dessert recipes. Now who doesn’t like dessert? My husband is mad for chocolate. Even more than my women friends, so I make lots of chocolate desserts. Given how hot summer can be, even in Munds Park, I especially appreciate desserts that don’t heat up the kitchen. Here are three for you! The first uses avocados as the base for pudding. Weird? Maybe, but it is tasty! The second is a one-minute microwave cake that is too easy! And the third is a dessert that is actually good for you, almost a health food. should be yummy with fresh fruit on top or served on pound cake. You know me, I’m not much on pre-packaged food stuffs, but I have made an exception for this too-easy microwave cake recipe for when I need a dessert in a minute--literally a minute. I also do sometimes make my own cake mixes for microwave cake, just so you know. But for quicker and easier, try: One-Minute Chocolate Microwave Cake 1 box Angel Food Cake Mix 1 box chocolate cake mix Thoroughly combine the two cake mixes and store in a gallon zipper plastic bag. To make a single serving: 5 heaping tablespoons cake mixture 3 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon mini-chocolate chips 1 teaspoon finely chopped nuts In a 12-ounce mug, thoroughly mix cake mixture with water. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Microwave on high for one minute. Let sit for five minutes. Serve as is or top with more mini-chocolate chips, ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries. Eat from the cup or up-end onto a plate by running a table knife around the cake edge. The final recipe one has made the Internet rounds, so you might have seen it. No real recipe, but simple to replicate: Cut banana into four equal sections crosswise. Beat until smooth. Refrigerate in mixing bowl or individual dishes for an hour. Wrap in foil and freeze for a 3-5 hours until solid. Imagine what else you could put in to modify the basic recipe. I’m going to use Greek Honey Yogurt next time instead of the cocoa powder. I’ll leave off the caramel and sea salt but add chopped pistachios (since it will be greenish).

Community Emergency Alert Siren Lightning: A twenty second long sustained blast of the siren means seek cover from open areas…leave the golf course, do not take cover under trees…go in-doors as soon as possible. All Clear for Lightning is three short blasts Chuck Steen is always smiling….and laughing….and cajoling those around him to be involved in the Fire: A blast of sixteen seconds on, followed by eight seconds of in a series of four cycles announces a fire emergency in the local area local community. Chuck has given hundreds of Attack: Six seconds on and three seconds off for a sequence of three cycles hours of volunteerism to Munds Park over the ALL CLEAR: Six seconds on and three seconds off for a series of three cycles for Fire and Attack years and was the lightning rod behind the lightning siren that rings out loud over our community whenever there is danger of possible lightning strikes in our vicinity. The vote to name Chuck Steen as a recipient of a “Citizenship Award” was unanimous among the PPOA Board of Directors, chosen from a candidate field of six finalists. “Chuck is a very persistent and focused man,” said Dick Drinen, President of the PPOA Board. “In his good natured way, he doesn’t let road blocks stop him from achieving the ultimate goal,” added Drinen, “Which is a major reason why we were successful in implementing the siren safety program. He found many innovative ways to make the installation happen in a reasonable and cost effective manner,” commented Drinen. Chuck “Siren” Steen worked with the company that manufactures the siren located above the Pinewood Fire Station along with the Fire Chief to install the safety device. He overcame one road block after another to make the multiyear process become a reality. The siren effectively notifies Munds Park residents of possible lightning danger as well as other possible emergency scenarios including threat of fire or attack. The safety device was installed in 2012 replacing an antiquated system that was difficult to hear. Lightning caused 23 deaths nationwide in 2013 with Arizona and Florida having Besides his earmark success with the installation of the emergency siren and the raising of funds and reducing of costs associated with the program, Chuck also served in a variety of ways for the benefit of the community. He was a very active member of the PPOA Board for ten years and served as the Communications Chair, initiating the “Happenings Column.” He was Roster Chair and also participated in Community Relations, Park and Rec and the Environment Committees. Chuck was instrumental in the initiation of the Park Bench seating that is placed all along Pinewood Blvd. for the use of the local community. Chuck involved himself in a lot of the smaller details that others were not interested in but the community benefits from. Chuck Steen has been a Captain in the Neighborhood Watch Program for Unit 10 A for several years. He was instrumental in the development of the Sanitary District Advisory Committee who was responsible for the recruitment and selection of Jim Wilson, our current sanitary district manager. Chuck even developed the employment contract pertinent to Jim’s hiring. He has owned property here with his lovely wife, Dee, since 1979, originally living on Wildcat off Mustang until building his log cabin dream home “On Golden Pond.” The Steen’s hosted the PPOA annual year-end party for nine years before retiring from the PPOA board a few years ago. Dee and Chuck have been married for 44 years and have two children and two grand-children with another one on the way expected in September. Chuck founded a mini-storage business back in 1977 when only twenty of them existed. He enjoys wood-working and making fine craftsman furniture and riding ATV’s with friends in the surrounding forest near Munds Park. the highest number of strikes. Safety devices such as the siren installed in Munds Park have brought lightning deaths to the lowest level ever in 2013. The high point of lightning deaths occurred in 1943 with 432 deaths nationwide. Arizona has always been one of the highest lightning strike areas in the country. The idea of getting struck by lightning has always been equated to something rare and unlikely, but records show dying from a strike is more common than from other natural phenomena. Since records began in 1940, more than 9,200 people have been killed in the U.S. by lightning. This compares to around 7,400 killed by tornadoes, 7,500 killed by floods and 3,300 killedby hurricanes. The individuals selected to receive the PPOA Citizenship Award receive a gift certificate for $100 from the organization in recognition of their efforts. More importantly, the award winners, who represent the best in volunteerism, both civic and philanthropic, are recognized by their peers and constituents as setting an example and tone for inclusiveness, helpfulness and caring for others. These leaders give back to the community in a kind, generous and selfless manner…without an agenda and for long periods of time. Chuck Steen is a true example of this kind of leader and is missed by those he shared time and talents with on the Pinewood Property Owners Association Board. August 25, 2014 12 Pinewood News P.F.D.

A friend of mine had a gastric bypass last week. That’s an elective surgery, but she felt it was necessary and I supported her. She has diabetes, high blood pressure and bad sleep apnea. She did a sleep study earlier this year and they stopped it because she stopped breathing fifty-six times in one hour! She’s claustrophobic and couldn’t get used to the mask of the breathing machine. I checked on her every morning from February until I moved up to Munds Park in May. We usually read the paper together and have tea and coffee. If she didn’t call me, I was worried she had expired from SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.) Many peo- I Offer: 1. MLS in Phoenix & Northern AZ 2. Signing and Flyers Prominent on Property 3. Free Listing Market Analysis 4. Free Agent Provided Home Warranty or 5. Professional Home Staging Consultation and Report ple she knew had gotten rid of all three conditions by having the bypass. So she did it for health, not her looks. Her son, among others, couldn’t figure out why she was taking such drastic means. Why couldn’t she just lose weight on her own? She’d tried: twenty years of seeing a fat doctor and getting weekly B12 shots, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc. You name it, she, tried it. The weight always came back. She calls her weight “super glue fat” because it refuses to let go. Sales, Service, Smile Call Irene Russell, Realtor® Cell: 928-607-3639 email: [email protected] The month leading up to her surgery she gained fourteen pounds by simply not monitoring what she ate. She had to go on a liquid diet the week before surgery and lost five pounds. PROVIDENT PARTNERS REALTY ”Your Partner in Pinewood” I took her to the hospital early and the surgery went well. All of this doctor’s patients go to ICU after recovery. I thought the care would be outstanding but I was wrong. I was the one who disconnected her many attachments and accompanied her on her mandatory hourly walks. I’m sure if you’ve had a loved one seriously ill in the hospital in the last ten years, you know that a friend or family member needs to be there to make sure care is delivered. My friend looked healthy right after her surgery, but then she has rosacea. She’s an assertive person, but refused to make a fuss. She had major water retention but they sent her home at 8:30 pm on Sunday night, of which she was delighted. She had to have oxygen. It was quite challenging for me to set up the condenser and all the paraphernalia as I am mechanically deficient. I gave her pain med and she slept all night first time in years. She was still on a liquid diet so I stayed on one too, in solidarity, although I do admit to eating ice cream bars when I went across the way to my house. The next morning we looked for medication instructions. The hospital ha d insisted that the doctor had given them to her in an appointment the week before. When she called the surgeon’s office, the nurse said she would email the instructions but never did. We took our dogs for a walk and she pointed out to me that her belly looked nine months pregnant. I suggested she weigh herself. We were both shocked that she’d gained twenty pounds! I’d never heard of anyone gaining weight after bypass surgery. I know she stayed on her liquid diet since there was nothing else in the house. How could this be? As a former nurse, she explained to me fancy terms for water retention. She took a diuretic, but only lost five pounds. A friend, who had the surgery and lost and kept off two hundred pounds, came over. She was shocked at my friend’s water retention. We took pictures of her feet. Her poor little toes looked like sausages. The good news is that she no longer has to take medications for high blood pressure or diabetes. As of this writing, a week after surgery, she still is seven pounds heavier than when she went in for the operation. It must be that superglue fat refusing to give up.

Although sales were adversely affected by the wildfires of May and June, the overall results were the best the Park has seen in many years. In analyzing the “CMA” (Comparative Market Analysis) overall sales for Munds Park for 2014 versus 2013, the Park had a 52.6% increase over the prior year in total volume. 2014 sales totaled $15,743,450 in total sales for zone 7340, Munds Park versus the previous year of $10,322,349. Eighty-five transactions closed in the spring season in 2014 versus fifty-nine in 2013 Interestingly, the sales volume statistics also reflected that the high sale in 2014 thus far was a new build sale of a 2700 square foot home off Krolak Way which sold for $520,000. Last year’s high was also off Krolak way and was $469,500. The low sale was a lot for $56,500 this year versus one last year for $40,000. Average sale price increased from $174,975 last year to $185,217 in 2014…. A 5.8% increase. Pending Sales, Pending Taking Back-ups and Active with Contingency have hit a year-long high of thirty transactions in the hopper as of this article’s writing. More importantly, they total more than $6,206,300 in listing volume which is a huge number for one month. The only components showing a decrease this year to last year is percentage of list price being attained. Last year total properties were selling for .94% of asking price and this year that percentage has fallen to .92%. This may be a factor of owners over-pricing their properties earlier in the season and having to reduce their asking price in order to elicit an offer. It is encouraging to see the market rebound so quickly from the awful June performance. Based on the current trends it is highly likely that a strong sales performance could continue through the third quarter poising this year to end on a very successful note! If you are thinking of selling your Munds Park home please give me a call for a market analysis and overview of your specific home. Thank you for your business.! It’s hard to believe that we are approaching the end of August. Time has been flying by at a rapid pace.

Pinewood News August 25, 2014 19 Financial Focus Work to Become a Better Investor On Sept. 1, we observe Labor Day — a celebration of the American worker. Of course, you work hard at your own job, but, when you think of it, every worthwhile endeavor in life requires significant effort — and that’s certainly the case with investing. The harder you work at it, the more likely you are to make progress toward your goals. So as you think about investing, consider the following areas in which you will need to apply yourself: • Work to identify your goals. It’s important that you know just why you’re investing. Do you want to send your children (or grandchildren) to college? Do you want to retire early? What sort of retirement lifestyle do you envision? What kind of legacy do you want to leave? Identifying your financial goals is the necessary first step toward achieving them. • Work to know your own risk tolerance. It’s essential that you know your own NOTICE OF CALL OF ELECTION investment personality — that is, how much risk you can comfortably handle. If THE PINEWOOD FIRE DISTRICT HEREBY NOTIFIES you think you can handle a relatively high THE REGISTERED VOTERS OF ALL PRECINCTS level of risk, but you find yourself worryWITHIN THE PINEWOOD FIRE DISTRICT THAT VACANCIES WILL OCCUR ON THE PINEWOOD FIRE ing excessively over every drop in the marDISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT THE GENERAL ket, you may need to re-evaluate your risk tolerance and adjust your investment ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 4, 2014. habits.

FOR THE BOARD: LEN FRIEDLUND Clerk of the Board • Work to avoid bad habits. Many investors chase after “hot” stocks or try to “time” the market. However, hot stocks can cool off quickly, while efforts to predict market highs and lows are doomed to fail — because no one can accurately forecast those points. You will want to be especially diligent about learning to look past the headlines and beyond short-term price movements in the financial markets — because too many people overreact to these events. If you can avoid these bad investment habits, you’ll be doing yourself a favor. • Work to follow a consistent investment strategy. If you invest over the course of several decades, you are going to see a lot of ups and downs in the financial markets. And when the markets get choppy, you may be tempted to take a “time out” from investing. But if you do this repeatedly, you will certainly interrupt the progress you need to make toward your financial goals. If you can develop the discipline to follow a consistent investment strategy and to keep investing in all types of markets, you have a pretty good chance of “smoothing out” the effects of market volatility over time. And, as a bonus, you’ll be far less likely to concern yourself over day-today price fluctuations. • Work to review your progress. Along with your financial advisor, consistently review your progress toward your goals. Your investment professional should establish your portfolio review frequency and meet with you to discuss your investments at least once a year. So, there you have it — some ideas on how you can work to be a better investor. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

One of the results of that action was a group of stranded motorists needing food and lodging in our area. So our community residents sprung into action opening the Church giving shelter to those in need. Due to this incident, the MUNDS PARK COMMUNITY EMERGENCY SHELTER was established. With some assistance from Red Cross, the Munds Park Community Church was officially designated as a shelter in case of any type of disaster that could occur in our area. As of today, we have a supply of food, toiletries, blankets, cots and a group of volunteers along with the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) dedicated to help sustain 100 people for three days. Several issues that come with an emergency shelter have been addressed in order to keep the shelter running in an efficient manner, but it doesn’t mean that we couldn’t use the help of additional volunteers who live in Munds Park full-time or part-time. For example, some of those coming to the emergency shelter may have a pet travelling with them and the shelter cannot have pets; it would be of great service if members of our community could take a pet to their home temporarily. Residents who can play an instrument or enjoy organizing games to entertain a group are a valuable asset. Even if you could just come down for a couple of hours to give the core group of volunteers a little break. That would be appreciated. If you would like to be on our list of helpers, please contact our Emergency Shelter Manager at 602-828-3272. Our wish is that we never have to activate the emergency shelter again, but it never hurts to be prepared!

You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself People came from miles around, everyone was there Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air 'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise CHORUS lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came No one heard the music, we didn't look the same I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave After four years of working to establish a method to enhance the front entrances to Munds Park on both the East and West side of the frontage road embankment, the MPBA Beautification Project is one step closer to being able to initiate the project. In 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 Owner’s Association and, Pinewood Sanitary District) and businesses to explain the required process in order for the group to move forward with the Beautification Project. A Road Maintenance District is being developed to include the entire commercial district of Munds Park. The area will include all of the properties 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. Polling ballots were distributed to all property owners either via US Mail or in person. Each parcel owner was asked to participate in the initial balloting so that we would know whether or not we have the required 51% participation to initiate the RMD. Lucinda Andreani, Deputy Director of Public Works for Coconino County agreed to have the county have the petition drafted if 51% agree beforehand and that the county will pay the legal expenses with 70% participation. By July 25th, which was the requested reply date, more than 51% of the parcel owners had agreed to participate so the RMD will be moving forward. It is the committees hope that more than 70% of the parcel owners will participate which will allow all monies raised to date to be spent on Beautification…trees, bushes and water and not on legal expenses. Businesses and property Parcel owners adjacent to the entrance are being asked to support a Road Maintenance District so that the Beautification project can be accomplished within the county and ADOT guidelines. The funds raised and grants received will be deposited with the county under the new RMD, then the Beautification Project would be completed. Once completed, the Road Maintenance District would be dissolved by the inaugural directors appointed to the board.

The plays will be in June and August of 2015. Plays selected are: 1st Play – Hallelujah Girls, directed by Lynn Rouyer 2nd Play – Be My Baby, directed by Bill Kane 3rd Play – Whose Wives Are They Anyway, directed by Marsha Propps Below are synopsis’ and character descriptions for the three plays. Please join us on August 30 if you are interested in auditioning for any of these plays. Hallelujah Girls – by Lynn Rouyer Do you have a bucket list? Or are you putting off til tomorrow what you would love to do? Well, time is precious and the girls of Eden Falls, GA realize this after their dear friend's funeral. The action in this rollicking Southern comedy takes place in SPA-DEE-DAH!, the abandoned church-turned day spa where this group of friends gathers every Friday afternoon. If they are going to change their lives and achieve their dreams they have to get on it NOW! But Sugar Lee, their high-spirited, determined leader, has her hands full keeping the women motivated. Carlene's given up on romance, having buried three husbands. Nita's a nervous wreck from running interference between her problematic son and his probation officer. Mavis' marriage is so stagnant she's wondering how she can fake her own death to get out of it. And sweet, simple Crystal entertains them all, singing Christmas carols with her own, hilarious lyrics. The comic tension mounts when a sexy, ex-boyfriend shows up unexpectedly, a marriage proposal comes from an unlikely suitor and Sugar Lee's arch rival, Bunny, vows she'll stop at nothing to steal the spa away from her. By the time the wo9men rally together to overcome these obstacles and launch their new, improved lives, you've got a side-splitting, joyful comedy that will make you laugh out loud and shout “Hallelujah”. The Cast: The characters should be portrayed as real people, not Southern caricatures. Carlene Travis: (50's) A no-nonsense gal with dry wit. Married three times, Carlene says she's been branded the “Black Widow of Eden, Falls” and that her 'romantic life is history'. She's convinced by Sugar Lee to take a chance on Porter. Carlene is Crystal's sister. Nita Mooney: (50's) A very sweet, simple country woman. Nita works for the county, but really lives vicariously through romance novels and their storylines (which she has memorized). She h as a freeloading, lawbreaking son. Nita is a glass MORE than half full kind of person. Crystal Hart: (50's) Daffy and loveable. Very creative, extroverted, and undaunted. Crystal regularly dresses in costume and sings her own lyrics to popular Christmas songs. Crystal is Carlene's sister. Actress should be able to sing confidently, but not necessarily perfectly. Sugar Lee Thompkins: (50's) The ideal of a Southern woman. Dramatically attired in an explosion of color, Sugar Lee is vivacious, strong and smart. It is her idea to turn the old church into a day spa-as she says, “a place where women can come and shed their worries, refocus their lives, and walk out feeling like they're on top of the world”. She doesn't comprehend that her past may be the on obstacle that she cannot overcome to save her small business. Bunny Southerland: (50's) Upbeat and seemingly pleasant, Bunny wears an ever ready sunny smile all the while being deliciously judgmental and passive aggressive. The self-proclaimed social arbiter of Eden Falls, Bunny feels status is all important. She wants to take the church from Sugar to open a museum in her name. Bobby Dwayne Dillahunt: (50's): Unaware of his rugged good looks, Bobby has a self-depreciating sense of humor and a charming manner. He dated Sugar in high school and wanted to marry her. Since then, he describes his life as a 'couple of failed marriages, couple of failed businesses, and a couple of knee operations'. Bobby is now in construction and Sugar reluctantly hires him. Porter Padgett: (50's) A good hearted, gregarious blowhard. Porter doesn't know when to shut up and tends to talk louder than most people. He really enjoys his own humor and has a big 'horsey laugh'. Porter works for the post office and lives with his mother. There is the potential for another male role that is the chauffeur, whipping boy for Bunny. And of course, there may be a woman or two that visit the SPADEE-DAH. Be My Baby – By Bill Kane This is the newest play by Ken Ludwig, who wrote several of the very funny plays we have done recently: Lend Me A Tenor and Leading Ladies, for example. Hal Holbrook and Dixie Carter as they two leads evoked cheers and a standing ovation every single night of its world premiere in 2005. The press described it as “a funny, feel-good kind of show that makes you warm all over.” The play tells the story of John, an irascible older “country boy” and an uptight “city” woman, Maude, who take on the journey of a lifetime. They are brought together when his ward marries her niece. Then, when the young couple decides to adopt a newborn baby, the older couple has to travel thousands of miles to California to pick up the child and bring her safely home. The problem is, John and Maude despise each other. To make matters worse, they get stranded in San Francisco for several weeks and are expected to jointly care for the helpless newborn. There they form a new partnership and learn some startling lessons about life and love. Besides the two older leads, there are good supporting roles for the young couple. In addition, there are half a dozen small roles (doctor, nurse, judge, waitress, housekeeper, etc.) that are ideal for some first time actors to give a try. Whose Wives Are They Anyway – By Marsha Propps The cosmetics company has been sold and two of its Vice Presidents, David and John have planned a weekend off before the new CEO arrives on Monday. With their wives safely off to New York on a shopping spree they check into the Oakfield Golf and Country Club intending to "golf their brains out". The unexpected encounter with their new boss (who they were shocked to learn is a woman) turns their plans upside down. She insists on meeting their wives, stating blithely " no one who went golfing for a weekend without their wife would ever work for me". Now John and David have to produce wives and the hilarity begins. The cast of 3 men and 5 women will create non-stop laughter!

What bird is it from?” At first glance I didn’t know, so I showed the photo on my phone to Andrew, our niece’s husband, who (conveniently for me) works in one of the bird departments of the San Diego Safari Park, previously called the Wild Animal Park. Andrew was sitting in front of the television with the rest of the men watching pre-season football. He manages a department that handles rare bird egg incubation and raising chicks and has cool projects like transporting captivity- bred California Condors for release into the wild in Idaho. Pinewood News Take Care of your Trees by Mike & Roslyn Merristem Tree Service Advice From Your Local Arborists: Synthetic Vs. Natural Fertilizers Fun Fact: The oldest living tree known to man is a spruce located in Dalarna province in Sweden. It is 9550 years old and dates back to the last Ice Age. However this spruce stands at a whopping 16 feet tall and closely resembles Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree. Andrew didn’t know whose feather it was either, so he Here in northern Arizona you might often find yourself standing in front asked me from across the room, “What is your cell phone number”? He then texted me, and I texted back to him the of a wilting, discolored, kind of sorry looking plant despite proper waphoto sent to me by my hiking friend. Next Andrew texted tering and optimal weather. Immediately one’s mind defaults on fertilthe photo to two of his Safari Park work colleagues, Tiana izer as your solution. But what kind should you use? To begin, there are and Jenny. Almost immediately one of them responded two categories of fertilizers: natural and synthetic. Synthetic fertilizers back: “What habitat”? He texted back: “High elevation, are probably the most popular option because they make large corpopine forest”. Then Jenny sent us a link to a photo she found rations piles of money resulting in better marketing. Don’t get me feather photo by Andy using the internet connection on her phone – and it was wrong MiracleGrow is very effective at what it claims to do and its apdead on! A Northern Flicker tail feather. In the meantime, plication is extremely user friendly but the “best”, in my humble opinboth Andrew and I were using our bird apps (I use iBird and also Peterson’s) on ion, it is not. Synthetic fertilizers add basic nutrients to your plant by our phone to pull up more photos. In the span of about five minutes and with the using salts to make those nutrients available to the plant. These salts, awesome help of technology, we were able to text back to Andy the identity of the however, kill virtually all of your soil’s beneficial biology such as fungi tail feather. The rest of the wine-and-beer sipping relatives in the room were and bacteria. The beneficial soil biology is the natural process by which thinking we were bird nerds, but we were actually quite proud of figuring out the your plant accesses the nutrients naturally occurring in your soil. Once mystery of the Fallen Feather. The Northern Flicker we have in Munds Park, Flagstaff, and even the desert around Phoenix is the Red Shafted species. The Yellow-Shafted Flicker is found in the East. However, the two forms have hybridized extensively and are now considered one species called “Northern Flicker”. There is also a “Gilded Flicker” that is found in the southwest deserts, but it is much Red Shafted Flicker harder to see. The Northern Flicker is a large woodpecker that has a black crescent on its breast, red side mustaches, and is pretty easy to identify when flying because of its prominent white rump patch. It tends to forage on the ground, eating ants, beetles, and other insects. It is more likely to fly on your hummingbird feeder and suck out the sugar water with its long tongue rather than frequent a seed bird feeder. Why did this one lose a tail feather? It’s molting season! Nests were built, eggs hatched, and babies raised. So now is the time to grow in new feathers to prepare for the next season. The Fallen Feather episode really makes me appreciate again the many forms of technology we have at our fingertips. It probably was entertaining watching Andrew and me excitedly solve the mystery of the feather by texting, surfing the internet, scrolling through our bird guides, and sending photos using just our cell phones. My favorite birding app is iBird Plus and it quickly seems to be replacing my books. However, I still treasure the very large Audubon’s “Birds of America” volume my parents bought me when I was 11 years old. Not only does it have extensive information in it, but it also takes me back to happy times pouring over the pages and first discovering the many species of birds we have here in the States and their unique characteristics. You can reach me at [email protected], and you can read all the archived Birds of Munds Park articles and leave your comments at www.birdladyblog.wordpress.com. I welcome your questions, reports of sightings, and your ideas for future articles. the soil has been depleted of these microbes, your plant is now completely dependent on synthetic fertilizers. Not only are you now forced to feed your plant chemicals but synthetic fertilizers are extremely toxic to all life. If you have ever been overzealous one season with applying MiracleGrow, you might have noticed that your plants and grasses turn yellow and die, a result we refer to as “fertilizer burn”. I am, if you have not already noticed, a devout proponent of natural methods. Natural fertilizers such as compost, manures, and worm castings benefit your plant because of their high content of beneficial microbes and nutrients. If you search around, you can find natural fertilizers that are also easy to apply such as compost tea. Many might associate natural fertilizers with the pungent smell of a horse stall or chicken coop however a well matured compost pile smells like nothing but healthy dirt. Compost and worm castings also provide optimal soil structure. Here we are surrounded by nothing but compact clay and rocks so soil structure is just as if not more critical than fertilizing nutrients. Soil structure refers to the drainage and moisture retention characteristics of soil. So although the synthetic fertilizers might be on sale at Home Depot, trust me, a good natural fertilizer is much more of a bang for your buck. Stay informed, your plants will thank you. Meristem Tree Care [email protected] August 25, 2014 Pinewood News 39 DID YOU KNOW?.... The first Labor Day was held in 1882. Its origins stem from the desire of the Central Labor Union to create a holiday for workers. It became a federal holiday in 1894. It was originally intended that the day would be filled with a street parade to allow the public to appreciate the work of the trade and labor organizations. After the parade, a festival was to be held to amuse local workers and their families. In later years, prominent men and women held speeches. This is less common now, but is sometimes seen in election years. One of the reasons for choosing to celebrate this on the first Monday in September was to add a holiday in the long gap between Independence Day and Thanksgiving. www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/labor-day A 501C3 tax exempt organization AND donations are tax deductible.

A trove of approximately 1500 works of art confiscated by the Nazis in WWII were seized in a Munich apartment. The value was estimated to be $1.3 billion by artists such as Picasso, Matisse and Chagall. The news went on to say that determining the rightful owners of the works decades after they were either sold under duress or seized could take years. August 25, 2014 Where in the World is The Pinewood News? One might think this would be a great premise for a novel and The Girl You Left Behind might just be that novel. Published earlier this year, it was obviously written before this news broke. The work of art at the heart of this story is of course fictional as are the events surrounding it. The painting entitled “The Girl You Left Behind”, was painted in the year 1915 by a French artist, Eduardo Leferve, and it resurfaces in the year 2001 in London. There are actually two girls left behind in this story. The first is Sophie Lefevre whose artist husband Eduardo goes to war for France in 1916. The second is Liv a young widow in London whose husband dies prematurely in 2000. Their stories, some eighty years apart, are connected through a painting of “the girl” who is actually Sophie painted by her husband. The painting resurfaces in the story in Liv’s bedroom. It was a gift from her husband on their honeymoon. The two girls are united by a passion for this painting which represents both their husband’s love and devotion to them. The dual timeframe storyline almost a century apart flows effortlessly from one to the other, although Sophie’s historical storyline is, I believe, the stronger of the two. Sophie, struggling to keep the family’s hotel afloat under the German occupation of France, hangs her portrait in the hotel where it is a daily reminder of the proud self-reliant girl her husband saw. She wants this reminder as the German invasion causes her to feel that the “glowing girl willful in her confidence” is slipping away due to enemy oppression and poor nutrition. Although the opening scene would have readers doubt a lack of confidence when she confronts the German Kommandant’s accusation that she is harboring livestock. It is my favorite scene in the book. The risk she takes in hanging the portrait in a public place is that it is also visible to all. When the German Kommandant notices the painting, his comments reveal that he is a cultured man. The portrait is the catalyst that causes Sophie to risk everything—reputation, family and her life—in hopes of seeing her Eduardo again. What follows is a wary connection made between the Kommandant and Sophie that leads to tragic circumstances Ninety years later the portrait hangs in Liv’s bedroom, as a cherished memento of her husband and their honeymoon. On the one-year anniversary of her husband’s death, Livy meets Paul and his friendship is the first stirring of feeling she’s had for anyone since the death of her husband. Unfortunately, Paul works for a company specializing in the return of artworks looted during wartime. I think you can see where this is headed. Instead of a blossoming relationship, they are now on opposing sides. The tension mounts as the case of rightful ownership goes to court. Documents produced at the trial take us back in time to Sophie’s ordeal and we discover, as Paul Harvey would say, “the rest of the story”. Was the portrait stolen from the Lefevre family or was it gifted? Liv, like Sophie, takes a great risk as she defends her right to keep the portrait as she becomes subject to unthinking public hostility. Although the painting disappeared during WWI, she gets hate mail urging her to end the suffering of the Jewish people persecuted in WWII. Return what is rightly theirs. Both heroines are united in their determination to fight for the thing they love most-- whatever the cost. As one review, which I totally agree with, says, “JoJo Moyes does a majestic job of conjuring a cast of characters who are charismatic, credible and utterly compelling.” Moyes places her characters in extremely difficult situations where the stakes are high no matter what decision they make. JoJo Moyes, who lives in London, is a former journalist turned novelist. Her novel Foreign Fruit won the Romantic Novelists’ Association Novel of the Year Award in 2004. In closing this summer of book reviews in Pinewood, I wish all book lovers time to curl up with many good books till we meet again next summer.

Some say Munds Park is the “downtown” area and Pinewood is to the east and north of where the “arches used to be.” If you don’t know where that is, it’s the corner of Pinewood Blvd and Fairway or the west end of the golf course. But did you know that our little community is made up of several subdivisions… the first being Northern-Aire. Northern-Aire is the property just north of Pinewood Blvd and South of the golf course. Did you know that Oakwood, just east of the Country Club, was not named for the Oak trees here in Munds Park, but a man who owned the property whose name was Red Oakes! Northern-Aire Development Company purchased the Lake O’Dell property in 1958. Between 1958 and 1960 the current golf course was constructed. Lake O’Dell water was used for livestock, wildlife, and vegetables. In the twenties and early thirties, Henry Burrus purchased the homestead and grew onions, asparagus, cabbage and carrots as well as alfalfa and grain. 1777) for your entire family and experience the beautiful Verde Valley up-close-and-personal!

Yes, thousands of sheep! It is not an uncommon sight in the spring and early summer. For many years and even today, sheep were driven through here from the Casa Grande area to summer grazing in Northern Arizona. Believe it or not, sheep in Arizona once numbered in the millions. They were driven from around the Casa Grande area up to the Mogollon rim and South of Flagstaff for shearing and breeding. I was not able to get any pictures, but I will keep looking. writer Tammy Z! When I looked on the internet for sheep ranchers I found that there were a couple “driveways” to Northern Arizona used extensively by the sheepherders. Two families who still trail their sheep are the Auza and Manterola families. They historically trail their sheep from the winter range in Casa Grande to the summer pastures in the north. Today, they truck the sheep from Casa Grande to Cordes Junction, and then trail the sheep north. Trailing the sheep is good for the health of the sheep and improves lambing in November. The Black Canyon and Beaverhead-Grief Hill Sheep Driveways have been used for over a century. There is an outdoor exhibit in Black Canyon City Heritage Park that presents the story of the trails and the two families. You can also visit Cordes Station which has been owned and operated by the Cordes family for 125 years. It was once a bustling, hustling stage stop for all travelers including the sheep herders and now gives you a look into the past. There is another accessible and interesting part of this history, the Sheep bridge over the Verde. The road is accessible from two different main roads. FR-24 is an improved dirt road which runs through the Seven Springs recreation area. This road starts at the end of the Carefree Highway and is easily passable by passenger vehicles with 2 wheel drive. The intersection with FR-269 will be evident as they are the only two main roads in the area. Sudoku Solution FR-269 can also be accessed off of I-17 at the Bloody Basin Rd East exit. As you pull off the highway you will come to a dirt staging area with a description of the area. From here just continue heading East through some ranching country and you will eventually come out at Sheeps Bridge. The bride was built in 1943 and the walkway is 475 feet long and 3 feet wide. Before the bridge sheep were lost to the dangerous Verde river crossings. The bridge was entered into the National Registry of Historical places in 1978. Then in 1988 it had to be rebuilt because the original was in disrepair. Shortly after the intersection of FR-269 and FR-24 the road becomes somewhat more bumpy and it would be wise to slow your vehicle down to a near crawl to avoid breaking loose any of your fillings. A passenger vehicle MAY make it down to the bridge, but it would be advisable to at least have some clearence between yourself and the ground. Sheeps Bridge is located near 34° 5'18.24"N, 111°42'28.04"W. For the last few years I have talked a lot about a history of the Pinewood Subdivision and have been gathering information and taking notes and now I’m ready to start getting it together. This is a small preview and I will start next summer with the story…. Bear with me and contact me if you have any pictures or other early Pinewood information.

The 800-mile-long Arizona Trail is showcased in a brand new, large-scale exhibit at the National Geographic Visitor Center in Tusayan, near the entrance to the Canyon’s South Rim. The exhibit, sponsored by Nature Valley, was unveiled to the public during an inspiring grand opening ceremony late in the afternoon of August 14. The new Arizona National Scenic Trail Exhibit fills the National Geographic Visitor Center’s interior courtyard and features a large map of Arizona depicting the entire trail along with wall graphics explaining the Arizona Trail’s diverse terrain, plants and animals. “It’s like a virtual tour of the Arizona National Scenic Trail,” said Janet Rosener, General Manager, National Geographic Visitor Center. “The display really captures the natural beauty that exists throughout the state, as well as the diversity of trail users who find adventure on the Arizona Trail. We are sure that our visitors from around the world will take a great interest in the Arizona Trail because of this exhibit.” The Arizona National Scenic Trail Exhibit grand opening was a wonderful and fitting event with speakers, dignitaries, plus board and staff members of the Arizona Trail Association. Janet Rosener of the Visitor Center made the opening remarks and served as emcee. Other speakers included Matthew Nelson, Arizona Trail Association Executive Director; Art Babbott, Coconino County Supervisor District One; Greg Bryan, Mayor of Tusayan; VIPs from Pink Jeep Tours and teachers from the nearby Grand Canyon School. In addition to commemorating the new Trail exhibit, the grand opening also highlighted Nature Valley’s support and their teamwork with the NGVC to support the Grand Canyon School. Romy Murphy of Pink Jeep Tours was introduced as the new volunteer maintenance steward for trail section 37C of the Arizona National Scenic Trail. Dippin' Dots Ice Cream was also on Arizona Trail Association board members and staff, elected site for the grand opening and they donated proceeds during the event to benefit the Arizona Trail Association. and agency officials and Pink Jeep Tours staff with Janet Rosener, General Manager, National Geographic Visitor Center (in white shirt) at the August 14th grand opening celebration of the new Arizona Trail Exhibit at the National Geographic Visitor Center Grand Canyon. photo: Steele Wotkyns, WotkynsPRplus "We are pleased to be able to provide support both for raising worldwide awareness of the incredible majesty and diversity of the Arizona National Scenic Trail as well as contributions to our local school and community,” said Rosener. “This May we co-sponsored a community event supporting Arizona Trail awareness and stewardship and last year the Grand Canyon School was given $1,300 by collecting Nature Valley granola bar box tops.” This May the National Geographic Visitor Center was also a gateway community event sponsor with other Town of Tusayan businesses of The Arizona Trail Trek. Accomplished Arizona hiker, Sirena Dufault, walked the entire Arizona Trail – from Arizona’s border with Mexico, through the Grand Canyon to the Utah border – during two and half months raising funds for the nonprofit Arizona Trail Association from online crowd funding and from donations at gateway community events. At the end of the gala grand opening in August, Ms. Dufault read a poem about the Arizona Trail by the late Dale Shewalter, the father of the Trail. Shewalter first had the dream and the vision and then provided many years’ worth of energy and organizing to get the Trail built. “Each year, the Visitor Center receives hundreds of thousands of visitors,” said Matthew Nelson. “And for many it is their introduction to the natural wonders and human history found within Grand Canyon. Now, visitors will be surrounded by inspiring images and get an informative initial tour of the Arizona Trail the moment they step into the courtyard.” The National Geographic Visitor Center, located one mile south of the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park South Rim, and Nature Valley are proud sponsors of the Arizona Trail Association and the Arizona National Scenic Trail Exhibit. An Arizona Trail segment is only a few steps away from the National Geographic Visitor Center. The Visitor Center also provides visitors with Grand Canyon information, maps, park passes, Pink Jeep Tours and has an IMAX® Theater, which shows hourly the popular Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets film.

FINAL SATURDAY SERVICE AUGUST 30 Many thanks to Ray Chester and Lynn Rouyer for their leadership in our summertime Saturday evening services. Attendance was excellent and the teaching (Ray considers himself a teacher not a preacher) and music were a wonderful way for all of us who attended to end the week. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT Enoch, who walked with God and was no more (Genesis 5:22-24) and Elijah, who was caught up by a whirlwind into heaven (II Kings 2:11) are the only two men in the Bible who never died. We live in interesting (okay, scary) times (wow, is that an understatement). Take comfort in that the words “Be not afraid” appear in the Bible over 360 times. by Mac Jett www.mpcchurch.com guages.
