Here is a letter that County Supervisor Matt Ryan wrote:
Dear Postmaster Magenot,
I haven’t had a chance to meet you but would love to
do so when the world calms down. I have had a good
relation with past Postmasters and the Postal Service over
my career of 24 years and have truly appreciated this rela-
tionship and partnership. In the past I have worked with
the post office to help in create a County addressing ordi-
nance and more recently we truly appreciate your assis-
tance in coordinating with us in establishing cluster boxes
in Bellemont.
Today, I am reaching out to you today on behalf of the
community of Munds Park/Pinewood. It is my under-
standing that you unfortunately had to cancel your postal
contract there and that you are now intending to solicit a
new contract. Since this issue just arose your office has
asked people to drive to Flagstaff to pick up their mail, a
40 mile round trip. In the summer we have close to 5000
people residing in Munds Park, many of whom shift their
mailing address from the valley to here for the summer.
Additionally, Munds Park has a larger demographic of
senior citizens who have many needs and depend upon
you but may not be able to navigate this hardship.
I fully understand the need for the office to do what
you have done. I ask that while you await the next con-
tract agent, that you set up a temporary service to help
accommodate the community within the Munds Park.
Perhaps having temporary distribution in the boxes in
Munds Park by an employee, and/or another solution to
remove this additional burden placed on the communi-
ty, especially those with additional needs.
I wish my initial contact with you was under better cir-
cumstances. I truly appreciate all that you and your
employees do. You are vital to our communities.
Sincerely,
Matt Ryan
Coconino County Supervisor, District 3

As of this writing, nothing has been resolved to
reinstate the Munds Park Post Office. We, as aCOMMUNITY, are coming together to find a solu-tion. Tom Hlusak, Administrative Assistant at theMunds Park Community Church has graciously puttogether a courier service which consists of MPresidents volunteers who will drive to FlagstaffPost Office and pick up mail. Mail will be deliveredit to your residence(for those signed up) until ourpost office is open again. Allison Tiffany, who hastaken the lead to find a safe, sustainable solution,has a Facebook® account set up as a virtual townhall discussion. If you would like to join in on theconversation go to: Munds Park Post OfficeDiscussion. Allison and Tom were also featuredon ABC 15, Thursday July 9th, with reporter SonuWasu to discuss the dire situation we are in due tothe quick shut down of our post office.
A young lady passed out while standing in lineon July 9th, in the 89degree temp. atFlagstaff PO. We havea high risk and elderlypopulation in our com-munity. They shouldn’tbe driving 40 miles(round trip) thenstand in the heat,in long lines to gettheir mail and pack-ages. It increases theirrisk for COVID -19 andthen our whole com-munity is in jeopardy.
Here are a couple ways you can help:
You can write to the Post Master General: (see Matt Ryan’s letter)
Megan J. BrennanPostmaster General and Chief Executive Officer475 L’Enfant Plaza, SWRoom 4012Washington DC 20260-2200
You can sign up to volunteer as a courier:
Email [email protected] to sign up.
Tom Hlusak and his volunteers will do their best
to match mail recipient’s with volunteer courier’s
from the same neighborhood. We can use your help!!
If you have questions regarding receiving mail service, call
Sharon at the Pinewood News - 928-286-9827 or email,
[email protected], your phone number and infor-
mation will be passed to Tom and his volunteers. The Pinewood
News will keep you posted on any updates and progress with
the MP Post office.
We ask for your patience as volunteers prepare and organize
your mail for delivery. It will be a challenge at first, but just
know that we’re all in this together and it will take some time to
figure out a system. We are all trying to help one another with
hope that this a safer solution until our Munds Park Post Office
hopefully reopens. Also, when you’re in line at the Flagstaff PO,
please don’t be rude to their postal workers. They had nothing
to do with our MP Post office being shut down.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP AND PATIENCE!

The Quick Cook
The Quick Cook Innovates LeftoversBy Sharon Arthur Moore
Did you have a wonderful Fourth of July? Okay, so it
was different, I’ll agree with that. But the traditional
foods for Fourth of July were as delicious as ever, even
though I had to make all of them since we weren’t
doing a potluck in the cul-de-sac this year.
But, of course, I made more than two people could
eat, so into the fridge with the leftovers. Now, of
course, we could do a déjà vu dinner. I’m known to
have run that play. “Guess what’s for dinner! The same
exact thing we had two nights ago! Yay!”
But there are options, and since the food is already
prepared these new versions of the old classics, come
together pretty quickly for the cook. So, let’s say you
have leftover cheeseburgers, watermelon, baked
beans, potato salad, and cherry cobbler. Let’s innovate!
Crumbled up leftover cheeseburgers turn your plain
marinara sauce into a Bolognese sauce. Or add it to
your chili or vegetable soup. Cheeseburgers spiced up
with seasoning can become a taco dinner. Or add to
rice and fill stuffed peppers for baking. Or try this ver-
sion of Mac and Cheese:
Cheeseburger Mac and Cheese (serves 4-6)
8 ounces elbow macaroni
½ cup milk
1 cup shredded cheese
4-ounce can of mushrooms
½ cup Durkees fried onions
14-ounce can of diced tomatoes
4 leftover cheeseburgers, crumbled into
bite size chunks
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a casserole dish
with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking heat milk over low medium
heat and add shredded cheese. Heat until cheese
melts. Remove from heat.
Add mushrooms, fried onions, and tomatoes. Mix
thoroughly. Add cheeseburgers and stir in.
Toss drained hot pasta with the sauce. Pour into
casserole dish.
Cover with foil and heat for 20 minutes. Serve
immediately with hamburger buns you toasted with
garlic butter.
Watermelon salad is a delicious way to use up the
leftover fruit.
Watermelon Salad (serves 4)
2 cups watermelon chunks
1 cup fresh mozzarella chunks (or small
mozzarella balls)
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, thick syrup-y kind
3 tablespoons fresh basil, shredded
Toss together watermelon, mozzarella, and
balsamic vinegar.
Divide watermelon mix among 4 salad plates
and sprinkle on basil.
Baked beans? Nothing to be done there, you say. Au
contraire, mon ami. On the Bush’s Best Beans site
(bushbeans.com) there is a recipe for baked beans in a
cake! Now, they suggest a can of their beans, but I say
use up some of those extra beans you made for the
Fourth. I modified their recipe to accommodate my
beans, onions and all. Or open a new can and start
there.
Bush’s Apple Pumpkin Cake
(serves 12—yeah. Right!)
Leftover baked beans, pureed in blender
1 spice cake mix
3 large eggs
½ cup applesauce
15-ounce can pumpkin puree
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a
9x13” pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine the cake mix with ¾ cup of
pureed beans.
Mix in three eggs until well blended.
Add applesauce and pumpkin and stir again.
Bake 30-35 minutes or until cake tests done.
Cool and serve as is or with frosting,
whipped cream, or ice cream.
NOTE: Or you can make 12 cupcakes that you bake
for 12-15 minutes.
Make more potato salad than you can eat? No prob-
lem. You can always add additional vegetables (green
beans, pepper, peas, etc.) and some chicken to make a
hearty dinner salad on lettuce. Or, put the potato salad
on a baking pan and roast in a 425 degree oven for
about 30 minutes to get a crispy potato side dish. Some
people fry it instead of roasting. The mayo is an oil,
after all. You can mash the potato salad, add cheese,
egg, flour and fry them up in patties like the corn casse-
role fritters. You can also blend it with broth and make
a potato soup. Or, serve your potato salad for break-
fast:
Potato Salad Sheet Pan Dinner (serves 4)
2 cups leftover potato salad
1 kielbasa, cut into 1” rounds
1 granny smith apple, cored and sliced
1 large bell peppers, cored and sliced
2 teaspoons Greek Seasoning (or other
seasoning like Italian, garlic, etc.)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a sheet
pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
Spread across the sheet pan allowing
space between chunks.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and toss
the ingredients. Return to oven and bake for another
15 minutes. Remove from oven, toss, return to oven
and bake for final 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
Cherry Cobbler leftovers? The only modification we
make is to maybe add ice cream or whipped cream!
We all need a laugh...
Hear about the new restaurant called Karma?
There’s no menu: You get what you deserve.
A bear walks into a bar and says, “Give me a
whiskey and...cola.”
“Why the big pause?” asks the bartender. The bear shrugged.
“I’m not sure; I was born with them.”
Why can’t you explain puns to kleptomaniacs?
They always take things literally.
A man tells his doctor, “Doc, help me. I’m addicted
to Twitter!’
The doctor replies, “Sorry, I don’t follow you..”
What did the buffalo say when his son left for college?”
Bison.

Hotel Stays duringCOVID-19:
What to Expect
such an iconic part of midcentury modern design are easy to clean and give a
feeling of spaciousness. I’ll get back to the architectural design of the hotel and
interior design of our room a bit later.
This was the first time that I’d slept outside my home since mid-March, and I
was surprised to find that psychologically my travel behaviors had changed. I
unexpectedly felt a little germaphobic and scanned the room for signs of sanitiza-
tion. Not that I acted like Adrian Monk from the TV series Monk, but I did note
that I should warn you all about this unexpected behavior. You might surprise
yourself, too, with being much more concerned about germs when you enter
your hotel room than you anticipate. Once I found the place to be ultra-clean, I
settled into the relaxing retreat and didn’t think about it again.
Relaxing Retreat
The serene backdrop of Camelback
Mountain provided a soothing escape—
that’s where the resort got its name,
Mountain Shadows, because we were lit-
erally in the shadows of Camelback
Mountain. The manicured landscaping
with palms, lush greenery and flowering
vines created an oasis in the desert for us
as well as the cottontails, families of quail
and lizards that we spotted during our
morning walks. Golfers practiced social
distancing on The Short Course, which weaves its way up and down the side of
the foothills in a leisurely fashion.
We enjoyed lunch poolside after a lazy
morning next to the waterfall that con-
nects the two 75-foot pools. It seemed to
me that the other guests were friendlier
than usual pool-goers, maybe because we
all had more space than usual with the
plush chaise lounges set up for proper
social distancing. I savored the contrasting
textures and flavors of my Poke Bowl
while less-adventurous Dan, (food-wise
only) had the Caesar chicken wrap.
Speaking of food at the resort, our din-
ner at Hearth61 was superb. When I picked the date of our getaway, I didn’t
know that we would be in town for Arizona Restaurant Week. I was able to order
from a three-course tasting menu that Chef Charles Wiley put together for only
$44 for the serendipitous event
Continued on page 42
I dabbed my toe into the pool of post-shutdown travel
recently. As travel experts predicted, I substituted a can-
celed summer vacation with a road trip. The road trip did
not take us far, 130 miles to the door of Mountain Shadows
Resort Scottsdale. I’m here to report what I learned and what you can expect from
hotel stays during COVID-19.
In this day and age, it is prudent to check
out your hotel’s COVID-19 health and safety
protocols before booking. The hotel plan
should reassure you that your stay will be as
safe and welcoming as possible. Before I left
home, I learned that Mountain Shadows
Resort Scottsdale had implemented strict
protocols with their Pristine Clean Program
that include:
• All associates, who are trained on COVID-19 safety and sanitizing protocols,
undergo wellness and temperature checks before beginning work.
• Staff uses Enhanced sanitizing practices throughout the resort, with extra
attention paid to high-touch surfaces and public areas.
• Restaurant teams sanitize service stations, service carts, beverage stations and
countertops hourly.
What to expect at check-in?
We’ve all experienced lifestyle changes because of the pandemic. And changes
are evident in the travel scene, too. The first thing that I noticed as we approached
the front entrance of Mountain Shadows was the absence of parking for valet ser-
vices. The bellman met us as usual, but he told us that for the health and safety of
patrons as well as associates, there was no valet parking. However, he invited us to
self-park in the spaces close to the front door, which usually are reserved for valet.
Score!
We stood six feet away as he unloaded our luggage onto a cart. The doorman
opened the entry, so we didn’t have to touch the door. Once inside, we noted the
Mask Kiosk in the lobby, which we didn’t make use of since we had already donned
our masks. I checked before we left home to see if masks were required in
Scottsdale and Paradise Valley as the trip happened just before the governor issued
a statewide mask requirement. The front desk staff was masked and behind the
plexiglass shield that we’ve all come to expect during the coronavirus era. The credit
card reader was on my side of the plexiglass, making it a touchless check-in.
The bellman (or is ‘bellhop’ a more politically-correct term?) showed us to our
room. Out of habit, I tried to hand him my room key so he could open the door, but
no, that etiquette is a thing of the past. He courteously reminded me that he could
not touch my room key. “This is part of the new normal,” I said to him and my hus-
band, Dan.
First Impressions
The guestroom’s trendy minimalistic design made it especially comforting for
those worried about germs. The hard surfaces such as glass and concrete that are
such an iconic part of midcentury modern design are easy to clean and give a feeling
of spaciousness. I’ll get back to the architectural design of the hotel and interior
design of our room a bit later.

The Fourth of July, Covid-Style
By Annie Weissman
Single Senior
It looked like a bleak holiday. No
fireworks. No parade, No big parties.
(Not even Beavfest!) No music at
Pinewood Country Club. So what was
one to do for the Fourth of July?
On Friday Elissa and I went into
Flagstaff for some supplies. We
decided to
start the
weekend
with the very
American
Steakburger
and fires at
Freddy’s.
After we
ordered, we
were given a
paper cup
and a plastic bag with a lid and a
straw. When we sat down, I noticed
that Elissa has put the plastic bag
inside her cup before she put the
soda in! I commented that although I
thought the plastic bag was merely a
vehicle to handing out the lid and
straw, she was more creative to find
a use for it. We both had a good belly
laugh.
At ten on the morning of July
Fourth, I settled in on my porch with
Ty, Donna and Elissa to await the
parade. We all wore our patriotic out-
fits. We munched on cheese and
crackers and sipped Mimosas.
Although the official Munds Park
Parade was cancelled, Allison Tiffany
and some other residents, with initia-
tive, organized a car parade. They put
the map on the Munds Park
Facebook page. And it went in front
of my house.
There were over seventy-five vehi-
cles, decorated for the holiday. It was
a terrific way to stay safe and enjoy
the spirit of the day. We waved and
took photos. Steve was in the parade
in his 23 T Bucket Hot Rod.
In the afternoon I rested and
played games on my phone. At five I
walked over to Elissa’s house. Vicki,
Michaela and I were invited for a
BBQ. Vicki did the honors at the grill
and cooked
luscious
burgers with
grilled
onions.
Elissa sup-
plied the
hamburger
meat and
fixings,
coleslaw,
baked beans
and drinks.
Michaela’s sister-in-law, who didn’t
come, made a yummy ice box cake.
I went home and watched all the
fireworks and listened to the patriotic
songs on television. It’s not the same
as live fireworks. I went down memo-
ry lane to when I was a kid and my
family would go to Central Park, in
Teaneck, New Jersey, and watch fire-
works. I was mesmerized by the dis-
plays and excited by the booming
noises. When I lived in the Arcadia
section of Phoenix, we could see the
Phoenix Country Club fireworks from
our homes. In one of my houses, we
gathered on the second story deck.
In the other house, all the neigh-
bors brought their folding chairs into
the street and we watched the fire-
works together.
I still like the pyrotechnics as
much as the kids.
Open: Tuesday - Sunday @ 11 a.m.Bar Menu available after 4pm.

Munds Park Trai l Stewards (MUTS)
Trai l Shar ing Et iquette By Larry Metz ler
Most of the people you will met along the trail are very friend-
ly and courteous. Usually there is no problem when two trail
users need to pass each other on the trail. Arizona State Parks
and Trails and other public land management agencies have
established guidelines on trail sharing.
Here is a summary of some of the trail sharing guidelines.
Slower Off-Highway Vehicles should yield to faster moving
OHVs. OHVs should yield to all non-motorized users.
Pedestrian (runners and hikers) should yield to equestrians.
Bicyclists should yield to pedestrian and equestrians. Downhill
trail users should yield to uphill trail users. When in doubt,
give the other users the right of way. For more information,
visit the Arizona State Parks and Trails website:
(https://azstateparks.com).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coconino National Forest
Service and the Munds Park Trail Stewards (MUTS) have can-
celled all trail events until further notice.
Although we are not holding events, the MUTS still have oper-
ating expenses, please consider donating to the MUTS.
Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors.

Sudoku Solution
Ground Yourself! It’s A Good Thing!
Dear Friends,
Have you ever wondered why
your dog or cat wants to go outside
and sit in the sun on the ground?
That’s because animals are highly
intuitive and know that earth’s ener-
gy is soft and relaxing. We can look to
our beautiful creatures for constant
lessons geared for relaxation.
Background:
I discovered grounding practice at
a time that I had been taken over
with anxiety. I was in a highly dysfunctional marriage in which we were both try-
ing to control each other. My husband, at the time, was suffering from OCD and
had formed the pattern of medicating his anxieties with alcohol. He was never
violent, just controlling. I found myself in a spin of trying to control his binge
drinking while he was trying to control my behaviors as well. It was the perfect
codependent show. As I exhausted all of my energy trying to control him and the
chaos, it then manifested in a barrage of health problems. My coping skills were
destructive to say the least. I ran my body into the ground (no pun-intended
here). I drank too much, smoked too much, you name it. I had already been
diagnosed with Celiac and was having allergy and asthma problems. As time
went on, I tried harder and harder to control the chaos of my world. When my
son was in 8th grade, my anxiety reached a high peak. I got allergy shots which
then made me dizzy for weeks. I was also diagnosed with a latex allergy at the
same time. My mind had decided that thousands of foods had latex in them, so I
couldn’t figure out what to consume. I had become paranoid to eat anything
because I felt it would harm me. I got thinner and thinner. I was so irrational at
the time that I even thought a water bottle would have latex and I would drop
dead. I went to an ENT, an allergist a neurologist, a psychiatrist, and the list goes
on. All of the stresses compiled to me desperately seeking any form of comfort. I
remember my parents working tirelessly to make me doctor appointments. They
would come to my house constantly to support me. I remember my mom cook-
ing all of my favorite foods and gently making me eat. She even bought me new
dishes to shift my thinking that food was beautiful and beneficial. My precious
sister, friends and loved ones supported me through this with as many means as
you can possibly imagine.
My dear friend Howard Falco, who wrote a book called I AM, came to the
house and counseled me through it as well. He explained to me that all of the ill-
ness I was experiencing at the time was simply out of control anxiety and all in
my head. He said it nicer than that, but I remember being angry with him at first.
I felt like he was telling me I was a hypochondriac, which at I initially found most
offensive. He explained to me that I could change it all if I had the intent for
wellness. He helped me set new I Am statements. For example, I AM safe, I AM
mentally and physically healthy, I AM loved. There were many more, but he took
my current un-serving beliefs and helped me reshape them. He also reminded
me at the time that guilt, shame and regret are all lies. At any point in my life I
was doing the best I knew how to do at that particular time. I had been carrying
enormous guilt for making my son endure all the chaos I had brought into his life
through his stepdad and other codependent-lousy parenting on my part.
During this time, I also received some beautiful advice from a dear co-worker to
try meditation tapes. She was a fan of Belleruth Naparstek. She burned me a copy
of “Mediations for General Wellness and another one on Anxiety. I was on steroids
at the time and couldn’t sleep, so I played the cd’s over and over on repeat. It was
one of the most phenomenal experiences of my life because the positive messages
went into my self-conscious and I started to feel better very quickly. As this was
happening, I found myself intuitively going outside more and more. One morning, I
woke up and went in my backyard. I stood straight, touched the ground and asked
for mother earth to soothe me. I intuitively asked for the soft energy of mother
earth to slowly enter my feet, moving up through my body and releasing any fears
and anxieties out through my head to dissipate as dust harming no one. It was the
first time I had ever done anything like that; yet somehow, I knew it was right.
As I have continued this practice today, I light a white candle, pray to God and
the Arch Angels for support in my grounding and form the intent to relax to start
my day.
Make it work for you:
Anyone can ground by simply asking God or the Universe if that fits your belief
system to support your intention for peace and grounding. You can set the intent
to ground anytime you feel stressed or would simply like to connect to nature. I
recommend going outside and even more being on your bare feet if possible. If this
isn’t practical for you, you can sit on your porch and have someone pull a leaf off a
tree or flower and gently hold it. Or you can even just sit outside and listen to the
beautiful songs of nature and tune into her sweet song. Anything will work if you
form the intent in your mind to ground. Like everything it’s all about the intent you
place.
Disclaimer:
Please know that this was My experience with health problems. I can’t begin to
tell you how much empathy and love I have for anyone suffering from serious ill-
ness in themselves or their loved ones. Life can certainly be challenging and scary
at times. I can say, though, without hesitation that whatever issues you might be
experiencing, meditating and grounding and giving yourself soft love and under-
standing will always help. REMEMBER, you are doing the best you know how to do
each and every moment of every day now and in your past.
Love and light,
Julianne R. Wilfert

PET PHOTO CONTEST
Pinewood Players Theater In The
Pines is raising money for their
Scholarship Program. Each year,
they offer up to two $2000 col-
lege scholarships to students who
meet their criteria. Due to Covid-
19, most traditional fundraising
to fund the scholarship has been
cancelled. One idea that would fit social distancing guidelines
is an online Pet Contest incorporating The Pinewood News,
social media, and the Pinewood Players website.
Let’s have some fun during these difficult times!!
1.CUTEST PET
Dog, cat, horse, hamster, bird, snake, fish, etc. Any cute pet
qualifies! Send us a sweet, funny, or unique photo showcasing
your cute pet.
The contest will be featured in the The Pinewood News news-
paper. It will include contestants’ photos, pet names, and
owner’s names. We will post a poll on the Pinewood Players
website for the community to vote for their favorite entry.
If you win, you will receive a gift valuing $25 or more!! And
your pet’s photo, with it’s name and your name, will be in the
following edition of The Pinewood News.
The next edition of The Pinewood News, July 27, will present
the entries for our first contest with instructions on how to
easily vote online. Anyone can vote, but only one vote will be
allowed per device.
Rules:1. $20 entry fee. Either cash, or a check made out
to Pinewood Players.
2. Please email a single color photo plus your
name to [email protected]. If unable to
email a photo, a hard copy of the photo will also be
accepted. BUT....you will still HAVE to drop off the
entry fee and note in an envelope to Pinewood
Country Club and have it timed and dated. Those details next.
3. Write a legible note with your full name, your pet’s name, your physical Munds Park
address (NO PO BOX #’s), and phone number and place inside an envelope along with the
photo (if hard copy) and your $20 entry fee. *Please make a note if photo was emailed.
4. Address the sealed envelope to “Pet Contest.”
5. Drop your envelope off at the Pinewood Country Club front desk during DAYTIME
business hours. Wear your mask!
6. Have the receptionist date and time the outside of your envelope. Add your initials.
Your envelope will be placed in a locked box. Deadline is Saturday, July 18th.
7.Hurry! Only the first ten envelope entries will be accepted. Due to our ad space in The
Pinewood News, we can only accept 10 entries. This is why we have the envelope timed
and dated when it is turned in. If you don’t make the first 10, your entry fee and photo will
be personally returned to you at your Munds Park residence.
8. Don’t despair if you aren’t one of the first 10 entries! If we have a good response, we
will have a different and fun themed pet contest in each additional Pinewood News news-
paper until the end of October. Or we may enlarge the ad to accommodate more contest-
ants. Plenty of opportunities to see your beloved pet’s photo in the newspaper for all of
Munds Park to see!
9. This information will also be posted on three different Facebook pages on the same
day and time The Pinewood News releases it’s new editions in newsprint and online: It’s
All About Munds Park, Munds Park Networking Group, and What’s Happening In Munds
Park And Around The World.
10. Any questions? Contact Terri Peach, Scholarship Chair at [email protected]
*Pinewood Players is a 501(c)(3) organization.

HOW HARRY AND MARY GOT TOGETHER
Harry was a bachelor who met Mary at the gym.
Harry thought Mary kind of cute, she not so much of him.
Harry owned a gas station and Mary was a nurse.
Mary filled her tank at Harry's and once forgot her purse.
Harry learned she had two kids and that she was divorced.
He thought that he might ask her out, let Nature take its course.
Harry said to Mary, "In case you might be free,
I'd like to go to Flemings, and I'd enjoy some company.
Mary said to Harry, "Why, yes, that would be nice."
And privately she thought, "My life could use a little spice."
Harry shaved, shampooed and showered,
he even shined his shoes.
He questioned what his motives were, but what had he to lose?
Mary, on the other hand, did not get off till six,
Had to drive home in the traffic, the kids' supper yet to fix.
Harry texted Mary, "Pick you up in half an hour."
Mary texted Harry, "But I have to take a shower,
Get dressed and do my makeup--I'll need at least an hour".
Mary rushed and did appear on time fresh as a flower!
Their reservation was at eight and Harry pressed the gas--
The kids were with a sitter, they were alone at last!
Mary said to Harry, "I forgot to bring my phone!
I really have to have it, you will need to take me home!"
Harry turned the car around and gritted all his teeth;
A smile was plastered on his face but underneath he seethed.
Harry called the restaurant while Mary went inside--
There were no other seatings, though the hostess really tried.
Where Harry was to go from there, he had no way to tell,
And Harry thought unto himself, "Things are not going well."
Harry said to Mary, "I think my plan fell through."
Mary said to Harry, "Then this is what we'll do.
I'll send the babysitter home, and it's the kids' bedtime.
I'll put some country music on, we'll share a bottle of wine.
I'm quite a gourmet cook you see, I'd love to fix you dinner."
And Harry and Mary fell in love--they each had picked a winner!!!

SUMMER GET-AWAY!
Illegal Signs in Munds Park: Part 2
Lucinda Andreani, Deputy County Manager
Director, Coconino County Public Works
I would first like to thank Munds Park residents for their feedback on our last
article regarding illegal signage in your community. We appreciate every-
one’s questions and comments on this issue. We would also like to thank
those residents who took this article to heart and are helping our team by
not putting signage (or other objects) in County right-of-way without first se-
curing an Encroachment Permit. Given this interest, I also thought that it
might be a good idea to follow up with some information as to why unper-
mitted sign placement is not allowed in County right-of-way.
It’s About Safety
The number one reason for prohibiting unauthorized signage or other ob-
jects in County right-of-way is not aesthetics but public safety. Any such ob-
ject that serves as a distraction or obstruction on a County road is
considered a danger to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
As an example, consider the day-glow silhouette figures with messages like
“Slow Down!” that are often displayed by property owners to try and curtail
speeding. When placed in County right-of-way, such objects might success-
fully attract the attention of drivers. Ironically, this attention is also a distrac-
tion that – if even for just a moment – can easily cause accidents with other
vehicles or pedestrians.
The same can be said if these objects are placed on the actual roadway.
Even if positioned near a road’s shoulder, they become de facto obstructions
that narrow the width of travel lanes, which can cause motorists in these
lanes to swerve into the path of oncoming vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians.
One of the most serious issues associated with unauthorized objects occurs
when they are moved by wind towards the center of travel lanes. Unfortu-
nately, our maintenance team sees these scenarios all too often: signs for
garage sales, real estate open houses, etc. that were initially placed on the
shoulders of County roads are blown into the roadway on windy days. Over
the years, these unintended road hazards have played a part in many acci-
dents on County roads.
It’s the Law
As a political subdivision of the state, Coconino County is required to follow
Arizona law regarding the disposition of unauthorized objects in its right-of-
way. Understandably, this includes the responsibility of our team to remove
objects that could pose a threat to public safety as soon as possible. Please
also note that placement of these objects in County right-of-way without
benefit of an Encroachment Permit is considered a petty offense under Ari-
zona Revised Statutes that could result in fines for offenders.
Liability Concerns
In addition to safety concerns, leaving unauthorized signs or objects in
County right-of-way creates serious liability issues for both the County and
those persons responsible for placing them.
Removed Signs
If our team removes an unauthorized sign from County right-of-way, then it
is not automatically thrown away. Sign owners can contact Public Works at
928-679-8300 about picking them up at Public Works’ Flagstaff facility,
which is located at 5600 E. Commerce Ave. Due to COVID-19 social distanc-
ing requirements, we ask that owners first contact the department to make
an appointment to pick them up.
To this end, however, it is very important to understand that repeated in-
fractions involving the placement of unauthorized signs in County right-of-
way could result in them not being returned. Again, this is about public
safety - not aesthetics. Our department takes illegal signage very seriously
and will continue to do what is necessary to keep it out of County right-of-
way for the safety of our residents and visitors.
Inaccurate Signage puts Residents and Visitors at Risk
As shared in our previous article, there are other serious safety related con-
sequences associated with the placement of unwarranted, inaccurate signs;
specifically, those that erroneously indicate a “Dead End” or “Road Closed”
situation. These inaccurate signs cause confusion among residents, visitors
and delivery service providers like FedEx and UPS. Most serious, however, is
that this confusion that can delay emergency response or evacuation efforts.
In closing, I think it important to reiterate that I believe most illegal signs are
installed with the best of intentions, usually in an attempt to mitigate speed-
ing in the neighborhood. If you want to display a sign or other object for this
purpose, then please just make sure that it is on your property and not in
County right-of-way or on the road.
With that said, please also remember that even official County signage can-
not stop speeders. Speeding is an issue that can only be mitigated by law en-
forcement. If you notice speeders in your neighborhood, then please get as
much information as possible (speeder’s license plate number, vehicle de-
scription, etc.) and contact the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office at 928-774-
4523.
And that’s all for now. I hope that you and your families continue to do well
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please take care and stay safe.

Stockpile for Disaster
I have never considered myself a “prepper” who stockpiles goods and materials
for a future disaster. But I think this year has made all of us preppers to some ex-
tent. And judging by the new infection numbers being racked up (more than 4,400
new cases today) in Arizona, it looks like we’re in for another lockdown.
We will be smarter this time. Won’t we?
Look at what FEMA has recommended for survival situations in the past. Their
stance is you only need to be ready to take care of yourself for three days. That’s
their target reaction time. At the end of three days, FEMA supposedly will have as-
sistance in place. There’s only one problem: That model doesn’t work. There were
people digging in dumpsters, looking for food, six weeks after both Hurricane Kat-
rina and Sandy. And I have even less faith that it will be safe to resume normal
shopping activities any time soon during this pandemic, even if the stores remain
well-stocked.
When selecting food for a lock-down situation, there are several things to take
into consideration. This isn’t buying your regular week’s groceries multiplied by 10,
but rather buying food that you will use instead of your regular groceries. As you
are selecting food for your emergency stash, consider the following:
ß You can’t depend on having refrigerator and/or freezer space for two or three
months’ worth of convenience and junk food.
ßMost foods aren’t packaged for long-term storage, with the exception of canned
foods.
ß You want foods that will give you the maximum nutrition for minimum bulk.
What you really need to store are staple foods. You can make a fairly nutritious
diet out of grains, beans and canned goods. Properly packages for storage, these
foods will keep for years, and still be as tasty and nutritious when you take them
out, as they were when you bought them.
Here is what I consider the most important ones:
1. Beans. This is one of the more common survival foods. Not only are beans plenti-
ful and cheap, but they provide a lot of protein—something hard to find without
eating meat.
2. White rice. The perfect companion to beans, it’s an excellent source of carbohy-
drates, and it stores well. (Note: don’t store brown rice, which contains oil and will
spoil.)
3. Canned vegetables and fruit. A good way of adding micro-nutrients to your lock-
down diet. Canned goods keep well, long past the expiration date on the label.
Don’t throw the packing water away, as it contains vitamins also, and you can use it
to make soup stock.
4. Soups. The nice thing about having soup on your shelf in a lock-down situation is
that you can use it in almost anything. Think beyond chicken noodle and check out
others, such as cream of mushroom.
5. Canned meats. Of all the ways of preserving meat, canning is the most secure in
protecting the meat from decomposition. While it doesn’t typically have as good a
flavor as fresh meat, it still provides animal protein at the most reasonable price
you’ll find. Consider chicken, tuna, and salmon as well as spam and deviled ham.
Meat may be the hardest type of food to find during a crisis, so stock up.
6. Powdered milk. While most people don’t particularly like the flavor of powdered
milk, when you don’t have access to other milk, it’s wonderful. It’s also necessary
for baking and provides needed calcium for proper bone growth.
7. Cheese. Another great source of protein. To store cheese, it needs to be triple
dipped in wax, making an airtight seal around the cheese. In this form, it can be
kept, without refrigeration, for years. Even if the cheese forms mold, it will only be
on the surface. Simply cut that part of and the rest of the cheese is still good.
8. Sugar. Yes, we try and stay away from eating too much sugar, but it’s an essential
ingredient in making jam and for preserving fruit. You will also need it for baking.
And sugar will keep pretty much indefinitely if stored properly.
9. Molasses. (Note: If you want brown sugar, just combine your molasses and white
sugar).
10. Honey. Whereas sugar will last indefinitely, honey will really keep forever, as
long as you keep the ants out of it. Plus, it is beneficial to help stave off colds and
infection.
11. Salt. Most means of preserving foods require the use of salt, and our bodies
need it for survival.
12. Spices. Stock up on the spices your family likes, as well as any you’ll need for
cooking and baking.
13. Nuts. A good source of both protein and fat, nuts store well.
14. Cooking oil and vegetable shortening. Our family doesn’t normally use Crisco,
but an unopened metal can of it will last for 5 years! It can also be used to make
emergency candles. If you’d prefer a lighter oil for your food, coconut and olive oil
both last about 24 months tightly capped in a cool, out of the light location.
15. Coffee and tea. Comfort food for adults. Keep your favorites on stock at all
times.
16. Rolled Oats. You can prepare breakfast cereals and other dishes. Store in dark,
airtight container with an oxygen absorber.
17. Pasta products. Pasta is a great source of carbohydrates, and it allows a wide
variety of eating. Even your kids will eat it.
18. Spaghetti sauce. Obviously, you need this to go with the pasta. But it’s also
great for hiding the flavor of things your family doesn’t like to eat—whether you’re
talking about an unusual vegetable or leftovers you’re re-presenting.
19. Jerky. While expensive to buy, jerky is pure meat with only added spices. Its
high salt content allows it to store well, making it a great pandemic food. It can be
reconstituted by adding it to soups and allowing it to cook.
20. Summer sausage. Like many ‘cured meat products’, it’s created to keep for a
long time.
21. Peanut butter. Another good source of protein and a great comfort food, espe-
cially for the kids. Maybe you should stockpile some no-sugar-added jelly with it.
22. Wheat flour. For baking, especially baking bread. Flour also allows you to shake
up the diet with the occasional batch of cookies or a cake.
23. Baking powder & baking soda. Also good for making bread, cookies and cakes.
24. Bouillon. This ‘soup starter’ allows you to make broth without having to boil
bones on the stove for hours. Soups will probably be an important part of anyone’s
diet in a stay-home situation, as it allows you to eat almost anything. Just throw it
together in a pot and it’s soup.
25. Hard candies. These are useful as a reward for kids and also for quick energy (or
emergency sugar if you have a diabetic in your household). The candy will keep for
years as long as they are protected from moisture.
26. Most essential paper products: Toilet paper and tissues are my “must haves.”
You may want to add paper towels if you don’t have a huge supply of cleaning rags
like I do.
27. Light bulbs. Take an inventory of your home, and have a package of every kind
you use in your lights.
28. Batteries. Again, inventory your electronics, medical supplies, and so on. Don’t
forget your keyboard and mouse, as well as the TV remote!
29. Battery charger for your car.
30. Hand sanitizer, household wipes, and soap.
31. Water. Don’t forget to stockpile a good supply of water. You’ll go through much
more than you expect. Experts recommend a minimum of one gallon per person
per day, but remember: That’s just for drinking.
Try creating a three-week menu, with the idea of repeating that menu over and
over. If you have the supplies you need to cook everything on that menu, you’ll
have a fair assortment of food, and enough so your family shouldn’t grow tired of
it.
Whatever you do, don’t try to run out and buy a year’s worth of food in one
week. Take your time. Start by building a 2-week stockpile; then increase it to a
month. Keep your eyes open for sales and other opportunities to save money.

36 July 13, 2020 Pinewood News
To say that the year 2020 has been an odd, strange, bizarre, year thus-far is a huge un-
derstatement. What looked to be a banner year for our country as a whole with unpar-
alleled economic prosperity and unemployment at is lowest levels in memory for all
aspects of our society, 2020 has now become a quagmire of concern for everyone due
to the Covid-19 virus that is plaguing the entire world.
Munds Park is in a little bubble that looks out on these events but is removed from the
trauma of the big city issues and has been relatively spared thus far, from wide-spread
illness from the dreaded virus. This community watches out for each other, helps those
that need it and is a safe and beautiful place to live. It is a place where folks look to
gather during troubled times and flee towards when plagues, riots, and despair abound
in our society.
So, why would we be surprised that real estate has gone absolutely bonkers in our little
hamlet? We have had a low supply of inventory for the last several years and yet have
had year over year sales improvements. Any real estate agent who has not doubled
their volume this year over last year should be undoubtedly concerned at this point of
time. REAL ESTATE SALES IN MUNDS PARK ARE UP $12,075,700.00 OVER THE SAME
EXACT TIME LAST YEAR. Yes, that’s right! After an very slow start with January through
April being non-existent, ( COVID-19 News Media Blitz Scaring Everyone into their
Homes), In May and June the floodgates opened and we have done so much volume in
the last ten weeks that we are now up 66.2% over last year.
Exciting huh? Well, it has been awesome for those willing to work round the clock to
capitalize on the non-stop walk-in traffic that our office has been enjoying. Having never
had to take an “UP” as a realtor since opening Provident Partners until this season, and
having to pitch in to keep up with the traffic, we have been absolutely slammed. Thank
you! Your business is always appreciated!
Check out the stats:
Munds Park total has sold $30,290,000 of property versus $18,214,300 last year. 97% of
asking price is the current average with 98 units sold this year versus 66 units sold last
year, a 48% increase in units sold. The average dollar per square foot sale is at 207.91 a
square foot for total properties, up $5.06 a square foot from last year. Pending sales are
even more shocking. We have 49 units pending sale in Munds Park totaling another
$17,673,950. This is nearly twice the total of the same time period last year. So, con-
gratulations to those homeowners who have sold and reaped such fortunes during this
odd time. Congratulations to those realtors who have done so well in 2020 despite the
weirdness of 2020.
It is all about to stop. The train is about to screech to a halt. There is nothing left to sell.
Zip. Zero. Gondi!!! There are only 36 available properties on the market in Munds Park
as I write this article. That equates to 0.01 percent of the available properties that com-
prise Munds Park. Of those, fifteen are for vacant land. So, it has been a great season
but all real estate agents should plan on an early retirement for 2020, because the party
is over.
On the other hand, for those homeowners thinking of selling and obtaining the highest
possible price for you home…. now is the time. The law of supply and demand has cre-
ated the optimum “Seller’s Market”. For how long it will last and when will the tide
turn and the buying frenzy ends…who knows? In this time of turbulence, partisanship,
gameplaying and outright weird circumstances, anything is possible.
For a complete market analysis of your property and to be represented by a tam of real-
tors who will have your backside and be looking out for your best interest, call us. I
know we are about to have ample time to handle the listing and sale of your property
impeccably! Provident Partners Realty is a team of professionals who help one another
to achieve maximum results for our clients. We are here to for you! Have a great sum-
mer!

Everybody has been waiting for Martino’s Restaurant & Lounge to
open for the past eighteen months. The concept restaurant applied
for the required zoning change in December 2018 and worked its
way through the ever- requiring county approval process to open for
business on July 2, 2020. Every imaginable obstacle was presented
to the partners duo, Chef Thomas Ryan and local business man Bill
Spain. The two of them worked together, side by side, and overcame
each challenge as they were encountered to culminate in the soft
opening of the restaurant last week.
Over the next nine editions of the Pinewood News, the story will be
told of how the restaurant came to be, what challenges had to be
overcome in order for the business to open and the story will be told
of those of helped make Chef Thomas Ryan’s dream a reality.
A special Thank you to all of those folks who joined us for Opening
night and the several evenings that followed. The County and Health
Department Approvals were last minute causing the cancellation of
the opening lunch. Thank you to those who were so patient and
kind in their understanding of what it takes to open a new business.
Needless to say, the opening night kitchen equipment problems
made for a long dinner wait for those there to taste the Chef’s deli-
cious menu; however, the natural gas diffuser which leaked into the
kitchen sickening members of the chef crew was repaired the next
day and all of the anticipated “kinks” were quickly worked out to en-
able the restaurant to be SOLD-OUT since opening.
THANK YOU TO THE MUNDS PARK COMMUNITY, THE MUNDS PARK
BUSINESS ALLIANCE AND THE PINEWOOD NEWS FOR YOUR UNWA-
VERING SUPPORT OF OUR NEW BUSINESS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO
MANY YEARS SUPPORTING THE SUCCESS AND GROWTH OF
MUNDS PARK AND TO PARTICIPATING IN GIVING BACK TO OUR

Early Voting For State Primary Election Has Begun
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Early voting for the August 4, 2020 Primary Election
started Wednesday, July 8. The Coconino County Elections office mailed out
over 44,600 early ballots to voters on the permanent early voting list (PEVL)
and those who have requested a single election early ballot for the Primary
Election.
Coconino County Recorder Patty Hansen urges all Coconino County regis-
tered voters to request an early ballot be mailed to them, or to vote early in
person at one of the early voting locations. “Early voting is the safest method
for our voters, poll workers and election staff members during this COVID 19
pandemic,” stated Hansen. “Early voters decide how they want to return their
voted early ballot: by mail; by dropping it off in a ballot drop box or at an early
voting location; or dropping it off at any polling location in the county on Elec-
tion Day. Recently, there has been a lot of misinformation about fraud associ-
ated with early voting. This is just not true,” states Hansen. “We have
numerous safeguards and procedures in place that would catch anyone trying
to cast fraudulent early ballots.”
The August 4 Primary Election is a partisan primary, meaning voters on the
PEVL who are registered with a recognized political party are being mailed an
early ballot for the political party indicated on their voter registration form. The
recognized political parties in Arizona for the 2020 elections are Democratic,
Republican and Libertarian.
Voters on the PEVL who are registered as Independent, with no party affilia-
tion, or an unrecognized political party, were sent a notice at the end of May in-
forming them that they should return the notice indicating which political party
ballot they want to receive. If this notice was not returned, the Elections Office
cannot mail the voter an early ballot until they tell the Elections Office what
party ballot they want to receive. Independent and unaffiliated voters who are
on the PEVL and did NOT return their notice may call the Elections Office to
request the specific party ballot, or do so online at www.coconino.az.gov/elec-
tions, select “Early Ballot Request”.
The Libertarian Party has a closed primary, which means only early voters reg-
istered as Libertarian will be mailed a Libertarian ballot. Independent and un-
affiliated voters may not request a Libertarian ballot.
All registered voters, not on the PEVL, may request an early ballot for the Pri-
mary by: calling the Elections Office; sending a written request to Coconino
County Elections Office, 110 E. Cherry Avenue, Flagstaff, AZ, 86001; or sub-
mitting an on-line request at www.coconino.az.gov/elections and clicking on
“Early Ballot Request.” The deadline to request an early ballot be mailed is
July 24.
Early Voting is also available in person at several locations throughout the
county. To see the list of early voting locations and their office hours go to
www.coconino.az.gov/elections, select “Early Voting Locations”. There will not
be in-person early voting this year at the downtown Flagstaff Elections Office.
Instead, the Flagstaff in-person early voting locations are at the Flagstaff Mall
(next to Dillard’s) and at a drive-up service window located at 2304 N 3rd
Street, Flagstaff. There will also be drive-through early voting available in
Flagstaff on Saturday, July 25 and Saturday, August 1 at the Flagstaff City Hall,
westside parking lot.
For the days and times that the different early voting locations will be open be
sure to check the Elections Office’s webpage or call the Elections Office. Days
and times may change depending on the situation with the COVID 19 pan-
demic.
For more information, call the Elections Office at 928-679-7860 or toll-free at
800-793-6181.

The masked hostess sat us at a beautiful table that was appropriately dis-
tanced from other diners. Although there were fewer patrons in the Hearth
61 dining room, the arrangement of the furnishings made the space feel
comfortable, and it was nice to be around other people and hear the buzz of
their unhurried conversations. I asked Emma, the sommelier, about the new
summer cocktail menu that the resort had just rolled out. She guided me to-
wards the Palm Gin Punch with Hendrick’s Gin, lemon juice, pomegranate
syrup and orange bitters. It was so delicious I thought I might try to craft it at
home.
I started dinner with the chard-charred summer squash salad. Dan raved
about his beef tenderloin (I revealed
his less-adventurous side earlier,
right?) I enjoyed the shrimp and grits
with asparagus, okra and giardiniera.
The refreshing biscuits and cream
dessert was served with strawberries,
lemon and mint. Our server’s enthusi-
asm was contagious—oh no, maybe I
shouldn’t use that analogy during the
time of coronavirus.
Mid-century modern design supports cleaning best practices
As I reported earlier, the architectural design of the hotel lends itself to a
feeling of cleanliness and health safety. Mid-century modern design is
known for its minimalistic emphasis on function with clean lines and flat
planes.
The most stunning feature of our room was the stand-alone glass shower,
which sits almost in the middle of the guestroom. The glass goes from the
floor to the high ceiling, except at the broad, hinged shower door. Inside, the
shower is trimmed in white marble with grey flecks, and a functional teak
bench sits on the tile floor inside the glass enclosure, which is large enough
for a party. Because all the shower walls are glass, you can easily see that
the walls are pristinely clean, which was all the evidence I needed to waylay
those earlier germaphobe fears.
Mid-century modern furnishings include the desk area, chaise lounge and
built-in dressing table with lighted mirrors and round velvet-covered pouf.
Linen-like lamp shades with dimmer switches set the mood. Martini glasses
and a cocktail shaker on a mirrored tray that fits nicely on the drink cart are
part of the retro amenities here. Crystal wine glasses with a wine opener,
Keurig coffeemaker and creamer in the fridge are of the modern variety.
The dark and light tones of gray that are so popular today deck the walls.
The only splash of color comes from an unframed painting on the wall,
which shows modernist rectangles of color fading to a mountainous horizon.
The concrete on the floor is polished and covered with a Kilim wool rug in
light grey and beige. The one design disconnect was the unfinished concrete
ceiling that may be hip in today’s world, but the sensibilities of my mother in
the 50s-60s would have found it, well, unfinished.
Although trash removal and fresh towels and Keurig coffee supplies were
available upon request, we were disappointed that housekeeping service
was not provided. My colleague, travel writer Mary Farrah, found the same
to be true during her recent stay in a hotel in Carmel, California.

The Jerome I Remember- Part 2By Wilma Little Lentz
There were no sidewalks where we lived, everything having been built on a
hill, but we had boardwalks to connect us to our neighbors and wooden
flights of stairs to ascend or descend from one level to another. A dirt road
stretched below each boardwalk so that cars could access their homes.
High above our home was a yellow house where the Sleep family lived. Mr.
and Mrs. Sleep had five or six children, the ones I remember attending
school were Verna, Melvin and Clifford. Mr. Sleep would often play his ac-
cordion in the early evening and the music would echo through the town.
The house next door up the hill was vacant. The small house to the east of
us was occupied by the Toci family. Phil and Jo Toci had three darling little
boys, Jimmy, Jerry and Jay, and an Irish setter named Cinny. The Tocis relo-
cated to Prescott when the mines closed. Sometime later a boulder was dis-
lodged from the mountain above and shot straight through their house,
demolishing it. I have often wondered what kept that boulder in place until
the house was vacant. But then everyone accepted the fact that the entire
town was sliding down the hill.
All mining towns had the initial of their names high up on the hill or moun-
tain above. These letters were made of rocks that incoming high school
freshman boys had to whitewash every fall as part of their initiation. Our
“J” can still be seen in its original place.
In addition to the 500 Level there was Sunshine Hill, above the offices of the
managers and the guesthouse. These houses were the same as those of the
500 Level, company homes, that were rented cheaply. The school bus serv-
iced the kids on Sunshine Hill and the 500 Level, but those of us in town had
to walk to school. It was about a twenty minute walk going downhill but
took longer going back up. Nothing remains of these houses as they were all
put on flatbeds and hauled to other mining towns, Morenci, Ajo and Bisbee.
The only buildings left are the managers’ offices and the guest house.
On the 300 level, a short distance away, now filled in and overgrown by veg-
etation, was a large swimming pool, and across from it were tennis courts
and more company houses. They are all gone now, but many a summer day
was spent at that pool. However, we could only use the pool every other
week. I am sorry to say that we had segregation between the Anglo and the
Mexican people of Jerome. We kids went to school together, played sports
together, and attended dances and other social events together, but as a
general rule Anglos and Mexicans did not dance together. The pool was re-
served one week for us Anglos and the following week for the Mexicans, the
reason given that the grease the Mexican boys used in their hair “messed
up the pool”. The water was then changed and it was our turn again.
As was common in those days, the mining towns were made up of a major-
ity of Mexican/American families, and the men were the ones who per-
formed the backbone of the hard labor in the underground mines. The
Angles usually had the supervisory or engineering jobs. Serbs, or those who
had immigrated from Yugoslavia, also gravitated to the mining towns, and
we had plenty of families whose names ended in “ich”…Balich, Vladich, Se-
ferovich, Komenich, etc. It was an accepted fact that most Anglos consid-
ered themselves superior to the Mexican people. They had the better
housing, the better jobs, they were paid more, treated more kindly in the
hospitals. A book was written not long ago by a Mexican man who grew up
in Jerome, Roberto Rabago, : “Rich Town, Poor Town”.. It is a real eye
opener on what life was like for the majority of Jerome residents, and well
worth reading.
The Mexicans did not live in the company houses, to my knowledge. Their
homes were on the hills in the lower part of Jerome, often built partly on
stilts to compensate for the uneven terrain. Many of the original houses in
Jerome were built on stilts. Several generations of families have lived in
these homes.
Those summers were when there was a league of women’s softball teams
that traveled from town to town--you may recall the movie, “A League of
Their Own”. These were professional women athletes who filled the gap
when the men players were sent overseas to the war and continued to play
for a few years after the war ended. They played on a large flat rocky area
that was between the town and Sunshine Hill, on which the high school
football games were also played. My dad especially enjoyed going to those
games and watching the women.
The “downtown” held the post office (the original is still in use), a town
square for concerts, Selna’s grocery store, Snitty’s grocery store, J.C. Pen-
ney’s, a drug store, a dime store, a Chinese restaurant, a Mexican restau-
rant, an Elks Club, a movie theater, a library and several bars and hotels.
There was a police department and a fire department. The library was small
but Mrs. Gardiner, our beloved librarian, always had a good recommenda-
tion for a book to read. There was a Catholic Church on Cleopatra Hill, our
house was directly above it. The priest remained there for many years after
the town became a near ghost town, and eventually passed away. There
was also a Methodist Church with an active MYF (Methodist Youth Fellow-
ship). A lively young woman named Bertha Mae alternated Sunday morn-
ings as the preacher for the Clarkdale Methodist Church and the Jerome
Methodist Church. But in the evenings she always presided over our MYF
meetings and brought up the Clarkdale girls. Bertha Mae was a lot of fun
with a great sense of humor.
There was an elementary school, Clark Street School, that taught children
through 4th grade, and which my younger sister attended. After that, all the
kids went to the large sandstone school at the end of the Upper Hogback.
It was called the High School, even though there were grade levels 5th
through 12th. It was a well-built, airy building of several levels, with a sepa-
rate building to the north that had a nice gymnasium and a band room
above that. Also apart from the main building was another that housed the
boy’s shop on the ground floor and the girls’ home economics area and
cafeteria on the floor above. To get to the cafeteria one had to climb a flight
of metal steps that hung precariously out over tennis courts about 3 levels
below. I have always had a fear of heights and would have to steel myself
each day to make that climb, especially when several students were clamor-
ing up the steps at lunchtime, causing them to shake. Even now it makes my
legs weak to remember!
The Boys Shop was taught by a man named Maynard Davenport who was
renowned for two things--he kept a severed finger in a jar of formaldehyde
above the circular saw in the center of the room as a reminder to be careful.
He also welcomed each boy every morning with a swat as they entered the
shop area, regardless of whether they had earned one or not. Mr. Daven-
port also taught math. During the time we lived there he bought several
acres of land in the Sedona area. At that time there was practically NOTH-
ING in Sedona, and people shook their heads over such a folly. I rather think
Mr. Davenport had the last laugh.
On the first floor were the lockers, administrative offices and girls’ gym/au-
ditorium. All the girls’ basketball and volleyball games were played here,
school dances were held, and plays and concerts performed. The boys’
sports activities took place in their gym next door. There was no football
field to practice so they would practice uptown out in the rocky area be-
tween town and Sunshine Hill. The Jerome teams were called “The Mighty
Muckers” and the colors were orange and black. Fortunately most of the
kids on the team were strong, well-built young men capable of handling
anyone who chose to make fun of our name.

Just In a Day’s Events
By Pam Keating
I found out my Kia Soul named “Olive” (betcha can’t guess why) is a snap-to-
gether plastic cover over what really makes her a car, her chassis. I found this out
when I backed out of our quite narrow two car driveway in Phoenix one day. I
always park very far right so as to leave plenty of room for the larger car that
needs to pass by and go in the garage. I was so far to the right this time that
Olive’s body scraped along the side of the stiff, woody, heather hedge.
The HOA landscapers only trim green stuff, ergo, the hedge edge has en-
croached on our driveway as it grows. It is so woody, that when I backed to the
left, my right front panel met the hedge with enough oomph so that the flimsy,
plastic clips that hold that right fender in place were snapped. Plastic gives to
wood sort of like that rock-paper-scissors game.
I did one of my super sales talks, and convinced the service department at my
local Kia dealership to do a less-than-professional glue job on the broken clips to
keep the fender in place. They knew that, at the next rough treatment, those
clips would give way and I would be back for the expensive, inevitable repair to
keep the fender on. So far, that hasn’t happened, and it’s been a number of
years. I credit my defensive driving habits.
We’ve had new home construction in our neighborhood here in Munds Park.
It’s a very welcome improvement, I might add. Lots of workmen’s trucks parked
on the narrow road on both sides.
As I was leaving to go shopping in Flagstaff, I spotted some neighbors on their
morning trek , turned to pull up next to them offering to pick up anything at the
supermarket. Got a “no, thanks,” and, after checking my rear and two side-view
mirrors, backed up to pull into a drive and turn around. The coast was totally
clear. I thought I went straight back. But, no. I caught my passenger side-view
mirror on the super structure of one of the pick-ups and heard a nasty crunch.
When I glanced over, I knew exactly what I’d done. That side view was, at best, a
ground view now. The mirror part was hanging precariously down toward the
pavement and the casing was at a cattywompus angle. Obviously I couldn’t have
seen anything approaching my Olive from that side while driving.
Darn! (or other appropriate words to that effect.) I drove slower than the re-
quired 25 mphs for a bit, considering my next move. When I eventually pulled
over to own up to the damage, I realized this part of Olive also had elements of
snap-on. As luck would have it, I had a roll of duck tape in the car. I recon-
structed what I could of the wreckage with tape for the moment. I tried to get a
semblance of sight for my drive on I-17 to Flag. I do remember how I drove with-
out side-view mirrors for years before they became a standard feature, another
great improvement, I might add.
When I got home, unpacked and stashed all the groceries, ate a leisurely
lunch, made a business call, and had stalled as long as I could, I surveyed my
mess. I saw nothing splintered. I figured out how it used to look, and went about
re-configuring where I thought things should rest and which things could fit
back in place. Luckily, I had the template of the driver’s side mirror to show me
where I was going.
However, my pieces were all black. Its twin on the other side had Olive’s olive
color wrapped around it. Not good. A rather large casing was missing. Would my
good fortune continue? I walked down the road to the scene of the “meeting”
and there, on the side of the road, intact, was the missing panel. It snapped right
back into place easily (partly because I’d done such a wonderful job of internal
repair, I bragged to myself.) I haven’t tested the electrical parts of it yet; the part
that allows me to adjust the angle of the view and the turn indicator that's sup-
posed to flash, but those are marginal, at the moment.
Other than the fact that two of my fancy coffees I brought home decided to
fall over and drain so that Olive now smells like Starbucks, my day’s going swim-
mingly.

Birds of Munds Park #121
Big and Little Gray Birds
By Margaret Dyekman
The Band-tailed Pigeon is a species unique to the West, and youshould be able to see it at your bird feeders. It is the largest dovefound in North America. The Band-tailed Pigeons in my backyard onlyfrequent the hanging tray feeder and love sunflower seeds. I pur-posely bought another seed feeder with a very small perching area tokeep them away from dominating it because they are too large toalight on it. Band-tailed Pigeons are rather big birds and probably thebiggest birds coming to my feeders, not counting the American Crows.This week I actually had an American Crow hang on my suet feederand it was an odd sight. But that is not a regular occurrence.
Band-tailed Pigeons are quitebeautiful up close—althoughthey are mostly gray, theyhave a golden iridescent bandat the back of their neck,bright red eyes, and a yellowbeak with a black tip. Like ourMourning Doves down in theValley, they make a loosely-constructed nest, but frompine needles and small twigs,and lay one or two eggs.They may have up to three broods in one season. They do migrate,which is why you will not find them in Munds Park in the winter. Ithink they are very shy birds around humans, quickly flying away ifthey see me come through the back door or even from the kitchenwindow. They also get in stand-offs with the Acorn Woodpeckers, whotry to defend the tray feeder from the Band-tailed Pigeons, especiallyif there are peanuts mixed in with the sunflower seeds.
A very small but not shy bird is the Pygmy Nuthatch. This species alsolikes sunflower seeds but more often frequents the tube feeders onour property. They come along in bunches, busily flitting from onetree to the next, foraging for caterpillars, moths, other insects, andconifer seeds. This species is also gray, but more of a blue-gray, with apale yellow breast, white throat, and a thick black eye-line. Unlike theBand-tailed Pigeon, I can be standing on my deck, even within six feetof the bird bath, and a Pygmy Nuthatch will land on the side of thewater tray and take a sip. There are no scientific reports of these birdsroosting alone, and instead they always spend the night together, typ-ically in cavities of a dead tree stump. They lay four to nine (!!!) eggsand the babies are cared for by offspring from previous years, helpingthe parents raise the young. Pygmy Nuthatches do not migrate andinstead spend the entire year in one spot, like in Munds Park.
On another note, a reader told me that he spotted a Red-breastedNuthatch up here, and I had a similar experience a couple of yearsago. So when you see a group of nuthatches, which by the way iscalled a “jar” of nuthatches, keep your eyes opened for an unusualone, as it could be a Red-breasted Nuthatch. Not that common here,but they can be spotted now and then.

You can read all about my book, Backyard Birding in North-ern Arizona, at www.backyardbirdingaz.com and order one online orget one directly from me. I welcome your questions, reports of sight-ings, and your suggestions for future articles.

***Emergency Change Notification***Pinewood Fire District has the capacity to use the siren to
communicate a true emergency to our community.
The Omni-directional Siren will now be utilized ONLY in the
event of a TRUE EMERGENCY. The Thorgard Lightning
detection system will remain in place at the fire station. The
Thorgard system includes a set of air horns located on the
roof of the fire station and will still sound when there is light-
ning in the area. The Country Club will then set off their
electronic siren (located near the pro shop) to notify golfers
on the course.
Again, the Omni-directional Siren located at the playground
will now be exclusively used to notify community members
of a true emergency. The activation of this siren will coincide
with a message from the Coconino County Emergency Notifi-
cation System.
We encourage everyone to sign up for the County alerts at
http://coconino.az.gov/ready or call 928-679-8311.
Additional information will be available on the District
website at www.pinewoodfire.org and on our Facebook page

50 July 13, 2020 Pinewood News
Coconino County, AZ – The extended weekend encompassing July 3-5 resulted in a significant number of calls stem-ming from outdoor activity in Northern Arizona. Sheriff’s Deputies worked closely with US Forest Service, AZ Game andFish, US Coast Guard, National Park Service (Lake Powell), AZ DPS, and other Northern Arizona public safety person-nel to address the increased outdoor activity. Community and forest area patrols included increased safety and enforce-ment measures related to off highway vehicle traffic violations, boating violations, and fire restriction violations. Deputiesand CERT volunteers also passed out brochures with information about OHV regulations / safety and fire restrictions.For the period of July 3-5, 2020 deputies responded to 1024 total calls for service, including both citizen initiated and of-ficer initiated activities. Deputies responded to 603 total calls for service during the previous weekend of June 26-28.
The below chart shows a comparison of some of the more common types of calls during the holiday and non-holiday time frames.

During the contacts with boaters, deputies notonly checked for impaired driving but also checked to make sure the right safety equipment was onboard and accessible.OHV Patrol: Deputies throughout the county made 85 contacts with OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) operators and issued 18 OHV related cita-tions during the holiday weekend. They responded to four OHV related collisions, several involving juveniles.Fire Restriction Patrol: During the holiday weekend, deputies responded to 27 reports of fire ban violations and issued two citations for ille-gal campfires.Search and Rescue Responses: Deputies responded to 9 SAR calls for service during the weekend.

MUNDS PARK COMMUNITY CHURCH UPDATE By Pastor Stevempcc.church
Seeing Eye to Eye in Marriage
Few things in life are more satisfying
than a good marriage. Nobody is per-
fect. And, no two marriages are alike.
But, if the work is put in by both indi-
viduals, even the most flawed people
can have a good marriage.
God designed us to need close relation-
ships. But, if we do not work at it, our
natural selfish bent takes over and we
sabotage them. There are a couple of
things that are good to know.
First, one of the consequences of the
Fall, when Adam and Eve ate the fruit
from the one tree God told them not to,
is conflict. They were cursed as a result
of their disobedience. Adam’s part of the
curse had to do with putting food on the
table. They were already gardeners. But
after the fall; bugs, weeds, and fungus
were introduced into the process. Work
became toil.
Eve’s part of the curse had to do with
family. Genesis 3:16 includes this,
“Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.” What that
means is, wives have an innate desire to
control their husband, but God placed
husbands as head of the household. As a
result, conflict is inevitable.
Now, why would God do this? Simply,
so we would humble ourselves and ask
Him for help and work hard at making
the marriage work.
What does the work look like? 1 Peter
3:7 says, “Husbands, …treat your
[wives] with respect.” That word for re-
spect means, put her on a pedestal. Treat
her like a queen. What you do for her,
how you speak to her, and how you talk
about her behind her back should be
only positive and never derogatory.
Ephesians 5:33 says, “the wife must re-
spect her husband.” Paul used a different
word for respect here. It means, to bow
down to. This is the way people treat
their king. So, wives, treat your husband
like a king which resembles how hus-
bands treat their wives.
Put the picture together that Peter and
Paul created with their words for re-
spect. Husbands put your wife on a
pedestal. Wives bow down to your hus-
band. When both do what they are sup-
posed to do where do the husband and
wife find themselves? Eye to eye.
Equals. Working together to make a
good marriage.
