6 CELEBRATING OUR RESIDENTS 7
From coast to coast, America proudly celebrates the 240th year of our
country’s independence. Our amazing residents and this wonderful community
are reasons for celebrating, too. Whether you’re a long-time resident or you’ve
just moved in, it’s our pleasure to serve you. Have a safe and sensational Fourth!
Please note: in observance of Independence Day, the office will be closed
Monday, July 4.
™ MOVIE LIBRARY REMINDER
We are proud to offer a free movie lending library at our community, and we
are so pleased that our residents are enjoying the movies. It appears, however,
that some of you may still be enjoying them. Replacing missing DVDs can be
costly, so if you have inadvertently forgotten to return a movie, please do so as
soon as possible.
ACCESS GATE REMINDER
Our access gates minimize the number of unauthorized people entering our
community. For safety reasons, the gates open and close slowly, which makes it
possible for more than one car to enter at a time. Residents may prevent this by
stopping inside the gate until it is at least half way through its closing cycle.
$UMMER $AVER
Prevent energy costs from “sky-rocketing” out of control. By simply changing
your A/C filter every month, you can keep your cool and help your system to run
more efficiently. For your convenience, free filters are available in the office.
Stop in any time during business hours.
KEEPING YOUR COOL
Keep the heat out and the cool in over the summer! During the heat of the day,
close your blinds, keep doors and windows tightly shut, and make sure nothing is
blocking air vents. Air conditioners operate more efficiently with a clean filter, so
check your filter regularly. With these tips, you’ll have a cooler summer.
Land of the Cool Blue Lakes
A
rizona may not be the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” but
for a state that’s both landlocked and in the middle
of a desert, we sure hold our own. Through a network of
innovative dams designed to conserve our precious water
supply, over 100 recreational lakes and reservoirs have
sprung up because of them. That’s not including 24 rivers
and countless creeks that douse the toastiest Arizona heat
waves.
River-fed lakes throughout the state offer water enthusiasts
plenty of boating, jet skiing, tubing, fishing, swimming, hiking,
picnicking, and camping adventures. Many have marinas

and restaurants. Scenic roadways meander through
beautiful mountain and desert terrain that surround these
water oases. Wildlife viewing at most of our lakes and
waterways is equally impressive, with wild burros, javelina,
deer, mountain sheep, and soaring eagles, hawks, herons,
and vultures.
Besides the mega, man-made water wonderlands like
Lake Powell, Mead, Mohave, and Havasu, Arizona has a
host of other popular water playgrounds. Thanks to dams
built on the Salt River, we can enjoy smaller, more intimate
lakes like Canyon, Saguaro, and Apache, with their colorful
steep canyon walls and cliffs. Roosevelt Lake is the largest
of these four sister lakes, courtesy of the Hoover Dam. Close
by, the Agua Fria River flows into busy Lake Pleasant, while
the Verde River pours into pretty Bartlett Lake. Some say
that Metro Phoenix and Scottsdale have the most boats per
capita than any other U.S. city.
The gorgeous White Mountains are home to many great
fishing lakes, such as Big Lake in Apache County, Bear
Canyon Lake, near Springerville, and Woods Canyon
Lake on the Mogollon Rim. Enjoy the cool pines, but leave
the motor boat behind. The Granite Dells near Prescott
make for an amazing setting for Lynx and Watson Lakes.
Anglers, power boaters, and water skiers alike head to
Upper Lake Mary in Flagstaff. And finally, there’s Rose
Canyon Lake, tucked into the side of Mount Lemmon, north
of Tucson. It’s tiny but an ideal camping and fishing area.
Retreat from the heat with a trip to one of our many
cool, blue water wonders. For a complete listing and more

Tombstone’s Boothill
W
here else but in the Town Too Tough To Die would you
find a cemetery where many ruthless hombres and their
victims found it too tough to live? Boothill Graveyard was named
for the many dearly departed souls who met with a violent and
rather abrupt end while still wearing their boots. It became
synonymous with Tombstone, the wildest, rip-roaringest boom
town of the early 1880s. Boot Hill became the final resting
place of a preponderance of deceased outlaws, gunfighters,
suicides, and strangers just passin’ through.
METRO PHOENIX AREA
Located on a rocky hill at the edge of town, Boothill opened
its gates in 1878. In just six short years, it filled up with over
300 bodies such as the notorious Billy Clanton and the McLaury
brothers, who were carried out of the O.K. Corral feet first in
October, 1881. Since many of the dead were unknown, the
town mortician typically would put them on a cooling board in
front of his office to see if anyone could identify the body.
For more information, visit tombstone.org, or call 520-457-3511.

Creature Feature
What looks like a cross between a fox, raccoon,
and house cat and is Arizona’s state mammal?
It’s the ringtail, also known as the ringtail cat or
miner’s cat. These two- to three-pound, 24-inchlong creatures are rarely seen because they’re
nocturnal. Their active night life of hunting is
helped by large eyes ringed with white fur, big
rounded ears, and short legs. The distinctive
long, black and white banded tail helps with balance.
Ringtail live in desert regions, making their dens in brush piles, rock crevices, hollow
logs, and even abandoned buildings. They are skilled climbers, zipping up and down
canyon rocks, trees, and even cacti. Their hind feet rotate 180 degrees, allowing for
firm grips and steep descents. They eat just about anything—insects, lizards, snakes,
small mammals, birds, and fruit. Ringtail have a lifespan of six to nine years. Catch
this cousin of a coatimundi on a night hike or at the zoo.
