Arizona businessman, entrepreneur, civic

and community leader and Munds Park pioneer

Dick Gray passed away on Friday, December 13,

2019 at the age of 95.

In 1959 Mr. Gray was named General

Manager of Northern Aire Lodge and Country

Club, the company that built the original club

house, golf course and began the residential

development of Munds Park in the late 1950’s.

He and his wife Wilma were regular fixtures in

the clubhouse, hosting club members, guests

and prospective property buyers and assisting

them to navigate the muddy terrain that was

prevalent in the early years of the develop-

ment. That original development effort was

hampered by the lack of access to the area

caused in part by a delay in the completion of I-

17 and the company eventually ceased opera-

tions in the 1960’s. But Mr. Gray remained

involved and interested in the area as subse-

quent developers moved into Munds Park and

developed successful communities. He eventu-

ally became a founding member of the original group of investors who purchased the country

club property from the Pinewood-Sun Lakes Development Company in 1985 and named it

Pinewood Country Club. He was a summer resident of Munds Park for 60 years.

Mr. Gray was born in St. Louis, MO. As a child he lived in Arkansas and Tennessee. Growing

up, he attended Western Military Academy in Illinois, St. Johns Military Academy in Wisconsin,

and went on to attend The Citadel (Military College of South Carolina). He served in World War II

as a member of the Army Air Corp. After the war he rejoined his family which had relocated to

Phoenix, AZ where he took a job as a swimming instructor at the Phoenix Country Club. From

that beginning he soon embarked on a long, successful career in the hospitality, management

and consulting industries including managing the Hotel Westward Ho, the Arizona Contractors

Club, the Arizona Club and developing and managing The Cloud Club atop the Guarantee Bank

Building in Phoenix.

Mr. Gray eventually established his own management and consulting company, Dick Gray &

Associates with offices in the West Plaza Shopping Center which his company managed. Mr.

Gray’s expertise and experience in the hospitality industry led to his involvement with numerous

hospitality related and civic organizations. He held the positions of VP of Tourism for the

Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, Founding Director of the Valley of the Sun Visitors and

Convention Bureau, served as a Director on the Dedication Committee for the Phoenix Civic

Plaza and also acted as Director for the Community Dance for the opening night of the Phoenix

Civic Plaza in 1978.

Dick Gray & Associates boasted a long list of distinguished clients and hosted many notewor-

thy events including Major League Baseball drafts and the 40th World Shooting Championship

sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee, the NRA and the Swiss Shooting

Association. Continued on page 13

Travel Continued on page 33

With 310 days of sunshine per year, Yuma is a perfect placeto escape the cold this time of year … and to grow winter veg-etables. The Arizona riverside city, vibrant with Territorial his-tory, is on the international bird migration route, the ideal set-ting for the Yuma Bird, Nature and History Festival.

I just returned from Yuma, where I had a blast atthe Bird Fest, worked my tan and got a taste of theagricultural scene with a Field to Feast excursion. Ialso discovered the Ultimate Valentines Date Night atthis unlikely destination. Read on for my recommen-dation. Spoiler alert: Fodor’s named it one of the"World’s Most Unique Dining Experiences."

But first, the Field to Feast tour. I harvested veg-etables in a real working field … in January. What

would my Great-Grandfather Rognald Silverness say? He farmed in cold and blizzardycentral Minnesota. He’d be surprised as I to learn that over 90% of all leafy vegetablesconsumed in the US and Canada during the winter come from Yuma, Arizona.

The excursion led by Visit Yuma transported me behind the scenes into private farmfields. I talked with farmers, picked fresh veggies and got a peek at pickers and machin-ery. The half-day farm to fork tour culminated in a chef-prepared feast.

Where We Grow Our Food, Animals Grow

Before the Field to Feast tour, I hadn’t given thoughtto the mayhem animal feces create for food producers.But of course, where we grow our food, animals grow.Dr. Paula Rivadeneira, a Food Safety and WildlifeSpecialist, opened my eyes. Her area of expertise is inpre-harvest food safety and developing environmentallyfriendly ways to keep animals out of agricultural fields.

“Deer, javelina and coyotes poop in there,” said @PaulaThePoopDoctor (her Twitterhandle) pointing to the lush fields of University of Arizona–Yuma research farm. “Wecould lose an acre because some animal pooped in the field.” By law, produce within afive-foot diameter of the feces must be fenced off.

After a food safety talk, we donned hairnets, washed our hands, put on protectivegloves and headed out to the fields to fill two bags – one with vegetables for the localmission and the second with leafy produce to bring home. Brandishing my lettuce knife,I walked into the fields of the Arizona desert.

At the University of Arizona research farm, vegetables are planted at the beginningof October and then every two weeks after that, so there’s always something for Fieldto Feast participants to harvest. Although I wasn’t exactly sure how to cut Bok Choy orsome of the other exotic veggies, Master gardeners and other horticulture expertswere on hand to assist and answer questions.

Agriculture in Action

Later driving through the lush fields ofDesert Premium Farms, Farmer John Boeltstook the microphone and shared aboutagriculture ‘then and now.’

“The yield per field is 30% higher with30% less water than 30 years ago,” said thefourth-generation farmer. “We’re using science to do things better. As for the climate,there is no other place in the US quite like this, especially for winter vegetables.”

“In this area, much is hand-harvested: dates, citrus, leafy produce,” Boeltz contin-ued. “People are lined up for those jobs for doing piece work. Unfortunately, they'renot in this country.” He explained that the Mexican labor force is geographically conve-nient – the border crossing at Los Algodones is only ten miles away, but multiple feder-al agencies (five, he says) make it difficult to obtain visas for farmworkers.

“There is an artificial undersupply of workers [because of federal regulations,]”revealed the farmer. According to Boeltz, the H-2A visa program that allows employersto bring foreign nationals to the US limits the visa to nine months per job per one crop.That means that if he brings a worker in to pick Romaine lettuce in January, that personcannot work when the fields are replanted for the summer crop of Durham wheat, northe Fall melon crop. “It's kind of a mess to deal with but it's all we've got,” he said.

Yuma Birding and Field to Feast

Plus the Ultimate Valentines

‘Date Night’

By Stacey Wittig“Unstoppable

Stacey”Travel Writer

As we left the farm, we saw pickers hand-

harvesting lettuce. I couldn’t tell if it were

the same sort of knife that I had used to cut

lettuce earlier. However, I did determine that

they smoked me in efficiency with whatever

tool it was.

Putting the ‘Feast’ into the Field to Feast

tours

Our third stop on the well-organized tour was Arizona Western College to chat

with Yuma’s next generation of farmers. The Culinary Arts student club at the

public community college prepared Yuma’s fresh veggies into a delicious and

healthy lunch. Under the direction of Chef Robert Gideon, the professor of

culinary arts, they laid out quite a feast. We dined on gourmet salads, includ-

ing Sliced Kohlrabi with Yellow Peppers; Beet Greens with Spinach; Field

greens, Beets and Feta Cheese; Pickled Carrot with Jalapeno and more. The

soups were just as garden-fresh and tantalizing.

Field to Feast dates: February 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20 and March 4

Price: $55 per person

Before I reveal the “Ultimate Date Night,” I have to tell you about the Yuma

Bird, Nature & History Festival. As you probably know, Yuma is on the

Southern Colorado River, a migratory corridor for birds and waterfowl. I had a

chance to explore some of the over eight wildlife areas in the area with expe-

rienced birders. The festival’s fieldtrips took me to places I would not have

otherwise seen. Hands-on workshops – like making fry bread at Cocopah Tribe

Museum and Cultural Center – and history tours such as the CLUES: History,

Mystery, and Murder Mysteries of Yuma in which I participated at Sanguinetti

House Museum and Gardens were fun and informative. The festival takes

place next year on January 15-17, 2021, and I highly recommend that you put

it on your calendar.

The Ultimate Valentines Date Night

For a month of Sundays, I’ve dreamed ofsitting at a long table set in a lush field deco-rated with the bounty of the farm. I picturedmany people sitting around the table, enjoy-ing courses of farm-fresh foods prepared bygourmet chefs and served by friendlyservers. Sometimes my dream includes asunset. While I was in Yuma, my dream wasrealized with a Sunset on the Ranch Dinner.

Before dinner, I enjoyed a tour of the farm from a wagon pulled behind a

massive Case IH tractor. Afterward, I met new friends as we gathered at long

tables and shared appetizers created by Executive Chef Alex Trujillo. I loved

every aspect of the four-course dinner; however the Le Cordon Bleu-trained

chef also prepares another dinner that I think would be the ultimate

Valentine’s ‘date night’ dinner.

HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR SMOKEDETECTORS LATELY??

Munds Park Community WatchBy Len Friedlund

The Munds Park Community Watch (MPCW) meetings occur in February,May, August, and November on the third Wednesday of the month. They arealways held at the Pinewood Fire Department (PFD), 6:30 to 8:00, in theevening. Originally the meetings were for the benefit of the MPCW captainsbut in the past few years they have become a Town Hall in format with infor-mation for the entire community. Everyone is invited whether they live herefull time or just come up during the summer.

The organization started out as Neighborhood Watch in 2007 under the guid-ance of the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO). As time went on, the22 mile distance from Flagstaff to Munds Park became a burden on the CCSOand in 2015 the group affiliated with the PFD under Community Services andtherefore the name change to MPCW. The PFD Chief, Josh Tope, alwaysstarts off the meeting with local information and any announcements of futureactivities.

Representatives from CCSO frequently attend and give updates on calls forservice in the community. Statistics for accidents, traffic stops, burglaries, orwhatever 911 calls are received are explained in as much detail as permitted.Plans for security and traffic control are usually shared with the group.

Representatives from the Coconino National Forest (COF) will participatewith information concerning the health of the forest and activities involvingprescribed burns and status of existing managed burns. This is very importantto our residents since we are surrounded by the COF and how the forest goes,so goes our community.

Representatives from the National Weather Service will attend with informa-tion on spring and summer forecasts for the area. This should give MundsPark something of an idea what to expect for weather.

The Coconino County Emergency Management Office will give the resi-dents the latest on plans for emergencies such as fire and floods. One majorproject is the Ready, Set, Go program which urges the registration of phonenumbers and email addresses so emergency information can be received byMunds Park residents whenever events are threatening.

The Coconino County Public Works (CCPW) organization always has alarge contingent with information on road maintenance, snow plowing, floodcontrol issues, Willard Springs Transfer Station, and other items of interest forour community. CCPW has been very responsive to community input on anumber of issues and can always be counted on for cooperation and action.

Periodically, Matt Ryan, who is our District 3 Representative on theCoconino County Board of Supervisors, will be present to give information onsome of the county’s projects and funding issues. Sometimes there are specialpresenters who have areas of concern for the community.

“Of special interest for this next meeting, Art Babbott, currently on theCoconino County Board of Supervisors with Matt Ryan, will be speaking tothe group regarding his running for State Representative this year. Art is anIndependent and is attending meetings in this area in order to introduce himselfto our communities."

The next MPCW meeting will be Wednesday, February 19th, 2020,6:30pm, at the PFD station. If time permits, MPCW items will be discussedand future activities outlined. Currently, the program is in need of captains tohandle 30 to 35 homes in different areas of the park and if anyone is interested,please contact Len Friedlund at (928) 600-3896,

Munds Park Resident


The Fancy Pants KitchenBy Francine Coles

Happy New Year, Munds Park! 2020! New year, new

decade, and time for new foods, right? I know we can

all get into ruts and cook the same thing over and over

because it’s familiar, you know what to get at the gro-

cery store without a list, and it’s easy. But, I want to

challenge you to try some new recipes, maybe even

some new ingredients that you’ve never used. Why the

heck not??!!

These recipes may inspire you to try something new.

The English Muffin Breakfast Bake originated from The

Barefoot Contessa (so you know it’s good! I love her

recipes!) It combines maple-roasted bacon, cheddar

cheese, chives and eggs for a do-ahead easy breakfast

dish. It’s wonderful for a brunch crowd!

Next is my Chicken Harvest Salad. This has all the

delicious flavors of the season: Chicken, kale, apples,

figs, bacon and goat cheese with a lovely Honey Dijon

Vinaigrette. It’s healthy, light and very pretty.

Finally, I’ve got to have a dessert recipe, so this

Banana Crumb Cake has to be the one! It’s similar to a

coffee cake infused with bananas. It’s got a crumble

running through it and on top. It’s finished with a light

glaze. It’s not dense like a banana bread, and can be

eaten any time of day…I prefer it all day! I love to top it

off with my Salted Caramel Sauce, which can be found

on my website www.thefancypantskitchen.com, along

with photos to show you what the caramel sauce and all

the recipes featured here look like.

Happy cooking, baking and eating!

Francine

English Muffin Breakfast BakeServes 6-8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room

temperature

12 slices good-quality, lean bacon

2 tablespoons maple syrup

6 English muffins, such as Thomas’s

12 large eggs

2 ½ cups whole milk

1 teaspoon kosher salt

¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons minced fresh chives

6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated

(2 cups, lightly packed)

Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Preheat

the oven to 400 degrees and generously grease the bot-

tom and sides a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish with the but-

ter.

Line one sheet pan with aluminum foil.

Place an ovenproof baking rack on the sheet pan

lined with foil and place the strips of bacon in a single

layer on the rack. (If you don’t have a rack, just place the

bacon directly on the sheet pan.) Bake for 15-20 min-

utes, until the bacon has begun to brown. Remove the

pan and carefully brush the strips of bacon with maple

syrup. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another

5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the bacon and

allow to drain on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Meanwhile, discard the aluminum foil from the sheet

pan. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop the

bacon and place back on the same sheet pan.

Meanwhile, cut the English muffins into 1” cubes. (Do

not halve them horizontally as you would normally for

the toaster.) Spread the cubes on a second sheet pan

and bake, with the bacon, for 15 minutes, until lightly

browned.

While the bacon and English muffins are in the oven,

whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in large

bowl.

To assemble, sprinkle half of the bacon, 1 tablespoon

of the chives, and 1 cup of the cheese (in that order)

onto the bottom of the baking dish. Add the English

muffin cubes on top in one even layer. Carefully pour

the egg mixture into the pan, pressing down lightly to

make sure all the muffin cubes are moistened. Top with

remaining bacon, cheese and chives. Wrap well and

refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight.

Before baking, lower the oven (or set the oven) to

350°F. If the dish has been in the refrigerator overnight,

let it come to room temperature for 15 minutes before

baking. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until puffed and cooked

through. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Chicken Harvest Salad(Recipe by Damn Delicious)

Serves 4-6

4 slices bacon, cut into thirds

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Kosher salt freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 large bunch kale, stems removed and

leaves shredded

1 medium apple, thinly sliced

1 cup quartered fresh figs

1/2 cup sliced celery

1/2 cup roasted salted almonds,

coarsely chopped

3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Honey Dijon Vinaigrette:

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsps white wine vinegar

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tsps honey

1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves

Kosher salt freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar,

Dijon, honey and thyme; season with salt and pepper, to

taste. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add

6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat; transfer

bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.

Preheat grill to medium heat. Season

chicken with thyme, onion powder and garlic

powder. Brush chicken with avocado oil; sea-

son with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chick-

en to grill, and cook, turning occasionally,

until chicken is completely cooked through,

reaching an internal temperature of 165°F,

about 10 minutes.

To assemble the salad, place kale in a large

bowl; top with bacon, chicken, apple, figs,

celery, almonds and goat cheese. Pour the

honey Dijon vinaigrette on top of the salad and gently

toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Banana Crumb Cake (Recipe by Cookies & Cups)

Serves 12

2 cups flour

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

3 ripe bananas

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

2 cups granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup milk

Crumb Filling and Topping:

1 cup cold butter, cubed

2 cups light brown sugar

2 cups flour

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1–2 Tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with

cooking spray, set aside

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking pow-

der and salt. set aside.

In a large bowl mash bananas until they become liqui-

fied. Mix in butter until combined and then stir in sugar,

eggs and vanilla until mixed well. Stir in milk and flour

until combined.

Crumb Filling/Topping:

Prepare crumb filling/topping by combining all the

ingredients together cutting them together with a fork

or pastry cutter until a coarse crumb forms.

Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan. Top

with 1/3 of the crumb mixture. Cover the filling with the

remaining batter and top with remaining crumb mix-

ture.

Bake for 50-55 minutes until the center is set and a

toothpick comes out clean.

Yes it's true...Munds Park Salon is opening soon...

February 2020.

Let me introduce myself, I have been a full time Munds Park resi-dent for almost two years, and before that, my family and I resid-ed in Flagstaff. I have been a licensed Cosmetologist for 30 years(don't do the math, LOL). I was fortunate to be a stay at homeMom and focus on raising my two sons. I took a break fromworking behind the chair, giving all my time and attention to myfamily. But now, coupled with the fact that the boys are bothteenagers, and the community's desire for Munds Park to have aSalon again, I decided to go for it!

I am proud and excited to announce that Sandy Hallenius hasdecided to join me on this venture, and I am hoping to bring on afew other local mundsie's as well. We are close and I feel confi-dent that we will be open in February, I just don't have an exactdate yet. Stay tuned. I plan on having the Grand Opening in May,but the full time residents will have a chance to come check it outfirst.

Mesa, AZ and the Tahoe Seasons

Resort in Heavenly Valley, CA.

He was involved in numerous pro-

fessional and community organiza-

tions and sat on many boards over

the years including the Community

the Theodore Roosevelt Council of

the Boy Scouts of America, the

Downtown Development

Association, President of the

Encanto and Clarendon P.T.A.,

President of the Pinewood

Homeowners Association, President

of the Westside Optimists' Club,

sons Mathew and Brandon and his wife Camille, his great-grandson Asher Lee,

his longtime friends Jeanie Hoover, Maxine Perkins, Bill Pond and many special

friends and neighbors in Munds Park who will miss his epic stories, his vast

repertoire of songs for every occasion for which he never forgot a lyric and most

of all his gentle, kind heart and radiant smiling face.

Thank you Mr. Gray for your many contributions to Munds Park and the lifestyle

we enjoy here which you so greatly influenced by your unwavering belief in this

community, its potential and its people. May we never forget and always trea-

sure the legacy you left to us all. What a remarkable man and incredible life

spanning nearly a century! Rest in peace Mr. Gray.

TowPlows, training help give ADOT an edge when snow hampers travel

Now’s the time for everyone

to Know Snow by reviewing safety tips

PHOENIX – Arizona Department of Transportation snowplows will operate

around the clock when winter storms hamper travel on state highways. For

Interstate 40 between Flagstaff and Williams, the highest freeway stretch in

Arizona, an innovation known as the TowPlow helps give ADOT an edge by

allowing just one driver to clear snow and ice from two lanes.

The TowPlow is a steerable trailer with a 26-foot blade that attaches to the

back of a snowplow. Two TowPlows are assigned to I-40 west of Flagstaff,

an area that often sees intense snowfall.

Able to do the job of two snowplows by clearing a 24-foot-wide path, this

combination lets ADOT clear more lanes in less time using less fuel. When

possible, ADOT will run another snowplow alongside the TowPlow setup,

clearing both lanes and the shoulder at once.

Everyone benefits from having all of ADOT’s two TowPlows and nearly

200 snowplows clearing highways rather than having some taken out of ser-

vice when misguided motorists crash into them. That’s why ADOT’s Know

Snow tips include this simple request: Respect the plow.

Here’s how you do that:

Give them room: Stay well behind any snowplow – a minimum of four

vehicle lengths.

Don’t try to pass: Plow drivers will move over periodically and allow traf-

fic to pass when it is safe to do so.

Think safety: The road behind a snowplow is the safest place to drive.

ADOT’s 400 snowplow drivers undergo extensive training so they can keep

state highways safe. With the potential for winter storms to hit soon, now

it’s time for you to get to Know Snow by reviewing ADOT’s safety tips at

azdot.gov/KnowSnow.

For starters, slow down when roads are slick with snow and ice, leaving

extra room behind the vehicle ahead. Take a fully charged cellphone, warm

clothing and an emergency kit that includes blankets, food and water, medi-

cation and sand or kitty litter.

Check your vehicle before heading out in winter weather, making sure – at a

minimum – that the tires, heater and windshield wipers are in good shape.

Before traveling, research weather conditions to determine whether it would

be smarter to sit out a storm so ADOT’s snowplows can clear highways.

Check road conditions by calling 511 or visiting az511.gov. ADOT’s

Twitter account (@ArizonaDOT(link is external)) and Facebook page (face-

book.com/AZDOT(link is external)) provide real-time information and

interaction. And the free ADOT Alerts app available at

ADOTAlerts.com(link is external) will send critical information, including

alternate routes, should snow and ice close a major highway.

So do you Know Snow in Arizona? If not, now’s the time to start learning

with a trip to azdot.gov/KnowSnow.

The damage above resultedwhen hot ashes were placed

in a plastic trash container.

New Ash Can for residential use.

How to Dispose of Hot Ashes

Hot ashes are extremely dangerous. Many people assume the risk of fire

disappears as the flames die down, but even after several days of your last

fire the wood ashes retain enough heat to ignite a forest fire, house fire, or

other combustible materials in your trash can if improperly disposed.

Special steps need to be taken after the fire has burned out in order to pro-

tect your family and the community.

Follow these steps to keep everyone safe:

1. Carefully empty the hot ashes into a metal container that can be

closed tightly with a metal lid;

2. Douse the ashes with water and cover the lid securely;

3. Store the covered container in a safe place outside of your house and

away from wind and other ignitable or combustible items. Do not dispose

of hot ashes in plastic, paper, or cardboard;

4. Leave ashes in the container for seven days to cool completely;

5. Once the ashes have cooled completely, you can place them in a plas-

tic bag, tie it securely, and dispose of it in your curbside trash can.

6. OR you can now use our Metal Ash Can that will be located in the

back of the Pinewood fire station next to the generator to store your

ashes for your convenience.

If the steps are not followed, you may be putting your family and commu-

nity at risk. Houses have burned, garbage trucks have caught on fire, and

people have been seriously hurt. If you are not positive if the ashes are

completely cool, just wait longer…it might save a life.

2020 a year of change

The Real Estate Industry Is changing“Broker Tidbits” By Bill Spain, Provident Partners Realty

A new year is upon us and like many industries, the real estate business is

facing a huge shift in the traditional real estate day to day business. Huge

monolith companies like Zillow, Redfin, Open Door, Homelight, and now

even Amazon, are invading the relationship oriented real estate market to

siphon off business by offering to buy homes upfront, make it an easy over

in a minute transaction and save you big money. Of course, that usually is

not the case and many of their clients actually undersell their home, losing

10-15% of the homes true value for the ease of a fast transaction.

Some of these new upstart companies refer your “lead” to an established

agent in the specific market and then require a 25-30% referral fee from

the realtor they assign the listing too….Homelight is an example of this

kind of practice. It does not benefit the seller, the buyer or the actual real-

tor…only the marketing referral source itself.

As your real estate partner in Munds Park for the past fifteen plus years,

Provident Partners will continue to bring you the best in consistent adver-

tising and hands-on value from our seasoned agents. We will be there to

support you locally when we contribute back to Munds Park as we have

done since our company inception. When the golf tournament sponsor-

ships are requested, Veterans fundraiser, Firefighters fundraiser, commu-

nity theater, children’s carnival and all of the community improvements

that the Munds Park Business Alliance has devoted to our little town, we

will still be here; participating, leading and giving back to our beloved

Munds Park.

So, we are launching a new program called “Provident Perks.” We value

our relationships with our loyal customers and want to be sure that they

stay with us in this changing real estate climate. Naturally, we need to pro-

vide the value and results which keep us special which is where “Provident

Perks” will come into play. Our agents who have lived and worked in

Munds Park for many years like Regina Bailey, Len Friedlund, Dee Spain,

Ronnie Mills and our newest addition, Melody Riccobono, know Munds

Park well and contribute back to our community often.

Come and See us to find out more! Thank you for your business and for

helping Provident Partners keep investing in Munds Park. Here’s to an

awesome 2020! If January is any kind of measure, it is sure to be a barn

burner of a real estate year!

Possibility Dashed

By Annie Weissman

Single Senior

The New Possibility (NM) and I went out quite a bit the first few weeks.

We went to dinner and I made him dinner. We watched the Ultimate

Jeopardy Championship together. I suggested going to the Rhythm Room

for music, but that wasn’t his thing. Okay, I could go with my friends.

My detective friend Marlene looked it up and found out he had not

filed for divorce. Uh-oh. The first lie.

We had a date for a Friday night, but he canceled and wanted to go

out Sunday night. I was concerned. Married guys are the ones who won’t go

out on Friday and Saturday nights. He invited me to stay at his home on

Sunday night, via a text. He also said he had downloaded my new book, Sex

and the Single Senior and enjoyed the chapter about Mr. Scrabble.

Didn’t his wife live there? Wouldn’t it be awkward, to say the least?

I thought it over and texted him about his wife being there. He answered

that she would be in Las Vegas.

This caused more concerns. Was this guy separated from his wife

and divorcing her? Or was I part of an arrangement they had that he could

have affairs? I thought about it and texted back the next day that I was not

comfortable with that. He texted back that he didn’t feel like socializing for

the time being but that I was a very impressive person. What was the sub-

text of that remark?

I texted him the next day and thanked him for the compliment. I

asked if he liked my book. He texted back that he didn’t. He emailed me

this:

Why? Think of This-

Who would want to be in your company at the risk of ending up in a

book?

That is true. I understand his concern. Writers like me use their personal

experiences as fodder. I caught the anger in the email. I guess he expected a

slam or a tell-all. So another possibility didn’t work out.

My new book, Sex and the Single Senior, is available on Amazon as a

paperback or on Kindle.

Public Service MessageTo the Community of Munds Park:

To assist in delivering your mail in a timely and efficient manner,

please make sure that ALL ordered items include your PO BOX in a second

line of the address (example below), as UPS and FedEx sometimes turn

items over to the Postal Service. Many vendors’ websites reference the US

Postal Service database when customers enter their address, NO Munds

Park Street addresses appear in that database. This sometimes causes the

website to automatically convert the address you enter to some similar

address in Flagstaff. Other times, the website will challenge as incorrect,

but will allow you to click confirm the address as you entered it. At times,

some vendors’ websites will altogether reject the address as entered, and

you must call Customer Service, who can override the website’s rejection

on their end.

FOR ONLINE ORDERS you should always include your PO BOX

number as well as your street address, so you’re covered for whichever

carrier the vendor chooses. One of the following almost always works:

John Doe123 Whatever Street*Use the second line to enter PO BOX#, or it may get cut off in printing by

Vendor if on the first line, the options are below:

•Unit 12345•or Apt 12345•or #12345•or 12345 is my box Munds Park, AZ 86017

Items that arrive without a correct PO BOX number are typically returned to sender around 4pm. Mon-Fri.

Speed Awareness SignsBy Tom Eade

Over the past couple of years, the Pinewood Property Owners Association

(PPOA) had received numerous complaints regarding excessive speed lim-

its within Munds Park. Your PPOA discussed various options for addressing

these complaints and approved the purchase and installing speed awareness

signs throughout Munds Park.

The next steps included receiving support from the

Coconino Public Works and their assigning the

County Transportation Planner to work with the

PPOA. They also stressed the need to include

enforcement with the sign implementation for them to

be effective, which Sheriff Driscoll agreed and said he

fully supported.

The County assisted in defining the optimum

locations for sign installation by selecting and

installing traffic counters at 7 locations throughout

Munds Park for counting traffic and recording speeds

in both directions. Based upon that data, four loca-

tions with the highest average speeds were identified

for speed awareness sign

installations.

The sign locations with the highest average 85th per-

centile speeds were:

• East bound on Pinewood Blvd and just east of

Apache Rd (41.4 mph)

• West bound on Pinewood Blvd above Crestline

(34.6 mph)

• East bound on Oak Dr and east of Wintergreen Dr (36.95 mph)

• West bound on Oak Dr and east of Valley Pl (36.45 mph)

The PPOA is currently working with the County on finalizing the encroach-

ment permit, working with a County approved contractor for sign installa-

tion and purchasing the solar speed awareness signs. Once the signs have

been delivered, we will select an installation date based upon contractor

availability and weather conditions and communicate that date to the

Munds Park community.

Please communicate to family, friends and renters that

the speed limit throughout Munds Park is 25 MPH. **We

will be installing the signs in February, as weather permits.

EMERGENCY?

DIAL 911!

From time to time, Pinewood Fire District needs to remind our residents

and visitors of the importance of dialing 911 when they experience an

emergency.

Too often, instead of just dialing 911, folks come to our station when

they need assistance with medical issues. This can be ineffective time

wise and downright dangerous if firefighters are out of the station and

unavailable to help you.

911 systems have been used by emergency response agencies nation-

wide since 1968. Pinewood Fire contracts with a 911 call center that is

staffed 24 hours, 365 days a year. By using 911, you are ensuring the

quickest, most efficient way to reach response crews at any time of any

day.

Our firefighters have numerous job duties, many of which can take

them away from the station. In the event you call 911 when crews are

out, they are alerted by radio through the dispatch system and then will

promptly respond to your emergency. If you don’t utilize 911, instead

opting to go to the fire station, precious time may be spent trying to

make contact with responders and your care may be delayed.

Another item that is important to remember is that Pinewood Fire does

not have a ‘walk-in’ clinic. Many folks come to the station to be

“checked out”, or to ask for medical services that we do not provide.

Our crews are unable to treat and release. In most cases when we pro-

vide medical services, we strongly recommend the patient be transport-

ed via ambulance to the hospital.

Please remember, if you are having a medical emergency or need the

fire department’s help, please just dial 911. Our dispatch system is the

best way for us to deliver the assistance you need in the fastest and

most efficient manner.

Edice (DC) Beverly (Blue)

Harkey, age 84, passed away

peacefully at the Huger Mercy

Living Center, a memory care

community in Phoenix, on De-

cember 16, 2019. DC was born

on March 20, 1935 in Hot

Springs, South Dakota to Edison

and Janice (Adams) Blue and

was the oldest of 3 sisters.

When DC was six, she moved to

Spearfish, SD with her parents

and younger sister, Mary Jo. In

1947, DC’s youngest sister Bon-

nie, was born.

DC’s generous nature was evi-

dent as early as elementary

school where she brought her

friends in for a free ice cream

sundae at the family’s beloved “Blue Drug” soda fountain - not once but

every day. Of course she became a very popular student! It didn’t take long

for her parents to put a stop to the free ice cream, but all the friends re-

mained.

Not only a great friend to all but a stellar student, DC graduated from

Spearfish High School in 1953. In high school, she played the saxophone in

the marching band, and participated in many school activities but she most

loved working on the high school newspaper and yearbook. She spent after

school hours working in her family’s “Blue Drug” store in downtown

Spearfish and taking piano lessons. During this time she also discovered her

“love of the outdoors during PE class and learning to play tennis.”

With her high school diploma in hand and a love of learning, DC continued

her education at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion where she

studied Business Education and was a member of Mortar Board and Kappa

Alpha Theta sorority. She graduated from USD in May 1957 and was mar-

ried shortly after to Marston Holben, also from Spearfish, SD on August 9,

1957.

The following years were filled with joy at the birth of her three children,

Shauna, Beth and Keith, and sorrow at the loss of her father, Edison, to brain

cancer in 1964. The young family lived in Huron, South Dakota until 1968

when they moved to Scottsdale, Arizona where DC and Marston divorced

shortly thereafter.

A lifelong learner, DC earned her master’s degree in counseling from Arizona

State University working as a teacher during the day and attending classes in

the evenings while raising three children as a single mother. After graduate

school, DC worked as a school counselor and then became interested in spe-

cial education, teaching Autistic children.

Her entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and love of learning led her to develop

several educational programs, including a Spanish video series which was

published and used in elementary schools. DC was always interested in new

opportunities to learn and work in education and in other fields like stock

brokerage and sales. DC had the unique opportunity to travel to many of

Arizona’s 20 Indian reservations as an employee of AGS, selling educational

materials and assessments.

DC brought her love of the outdoors with her to the Arizona desert where

she enjoyed tennis, gardening, swimming and in particular, hiking. DC hiked

the Grand Canyon several times and even when the rest of her hiking party

rode donkeys back out the steep canyon, DC with her “can do” attitude,

opted to keep walking instead.

Her positive attitude was one of her most defining characteristics. Even

when faced with challenging times, DC remained optimistic about life and

often told her children to “think positive” and “if at first you don’t succeed -

try again.” Always interested in others, her cheerful and happy personality,

won her many loyal friends. DC loved to entertain at home and was always

finding an occasion to invite friends over for a party or a game of cards. She

loved to socialize and thus became a member of “Who’s Who” in Phoenix, a

singles group, where she met her future husband, Bob Harkey.

A Christian, who was actively involved at Holy Trinity Lutheran church in

Chandler, AZ, DC organized a support group for those dealing with mental

illness and one for divorcees as well as assisting with confirmation classes for

middle school students. DC was a compassionate woman with a spirit of

generosity. She was always a help to others in need, oftentimes caring for a

sick friend or neighbor. She volunteered as a member of the Assistance

League of Phoenix. She enjoyed being a part of Operation School Bell that

provided clothing to school children in need.

Never one to sit idle, after retiring, DC became an accomplished golfer,

learned to watercolor paint and became an aspiring writer with an interest

in children’s books. She loved to travel and explore new places and was an

avid reader. She loved nature and had a fascination with animals. She treas-

ured her four-legged companion, Luck, a black Cairn Terrier, and loved taking

him for walks in the neighborhoods of her two homes in Sun Lakes and

Munds Park, AZ.

As the years progressed, DC was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at the

age of 75 and continued to do the things she loved, reading and cooking as

long as she was able. Her courage and positivity was never more evident as

she attempted to help with finding a cure for Alzheimer’s, by participating in

several long and intensive clinical trials with the Banner Institute in Phoenix.

DC lived her final three years at the Huger Mercy Living Center, where she

spent most of her time outdoors walking on the shady tree-lined paths that

covered the grounds.

DC is preceded in death by her parents, Edison and Janice Blue (1986, also

from Alzheimer’s) and her grandson, Hunter Holben. She is survived by her

three children, Shauna (Mike) Nash, Beth (Doug) Carlson, Keith Holben, her

two sisters, Mary Jo Blue (Dick Walker, significant other) and Bonnie Carr

(Dale Schaffer), Robert Harkey, and five grandchildren, Caleece, Darian,

Dana, Thomas and Lucas, all of whom will miss her cheerful smile, positive

attitude and loving nature.

A celebration of DC’s life will be held by her immediate family this summer

in the Black Hills of South Dakota, her home state. Reflecting late in life, DC

wrote “If you asked me what I’ve learned that has been the most important

knowledge for me and my endeavors, I would answer “the power of positive

thinking.” Well done, DC. We love you.

Coconino NF updates forest orderprohibiting camping, campfiresaround Flagstaff communities

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Jan. 17, 2020 — The Flagstaff

Ranger District has recently updated and renewed

an important forest order for camping and camp-

fire restrictions around the Flagstaff area that will

help reduce the number of abandoned campfires

and keep communities safer.

Forest Order 03-04-20-5-F prohibits any camping

and campfires within Coconino National Forest

around Flagstaff and its surrounding communities.

A detailed map and explanation of exact bound-

aries can be found under the Forest Orders link on

the Coconino National Forest website, or by view-

ing the official forest order here.

Forest Service personnel will begin placing “No

Campfires or Camping” signs in and around the re-

stricted areas to remind the public of these impor-

tant prohibitions and to help identify the area

boundaries.

Boundaries have been expanded by more than

25,000 acres and redefined to account for the ex-

pansion of communities, while using features such

as forest roads as boundaries that are easily recog-

nized on a map.

The expansion and redefining of these boundaries

is also more cohesive and conjoined with areas

that have already been defined by the state and

city as areas where camping and campfires are

prohibited.

“Prohibiting campfires, and sometimes camping,

within areas of Coconino National Forest that sur-

round Flagstaff and its communities are important

steps in lowering the number of abandoned camp-

fires and mitigating wildfires so close to town,”

said Fire Staff Officer James Pettit. “This doesn’t eliminate the threat of severe wildfires, but it will definitely lower it. This forest order also helps reduce unsanitary

conditions found on the forest near town from people illegally using the forest for residential purposes.”

The previous forest order was last updated in 1995 and did not account for the communities surrounding Flagstaff today, nor did it define boundaries that were eas-

ily recognized.

In addition, Coconino National Forest renewed and updated a forest order in August 2019 that prohibits campfires in the Mount Elden/Dry Lake Hills area, expanding

that particular area of campfire restrictions by 2,000 acres, to include popular camping areas such as the Freidlein Prairie Dispersed Campsites. That forest order was

originally signed and implemented nine years ago.

“In 2011, after we implemented the Mount Elden/Dry Lake Hills forest order, we saw a 90 percent reduction in human-caused fires in that area,” said Pettit. “So, we

expect to see a significant reduction in the number of abandoned campfires and human-caused fires with this updated forest order prohibiting camping and camp-

fires around the Flagstaff area.”

Coconino National Forest encourages the public to report illegal activity on the national forest and can do so by calling the local Forest Service law enforcement office

at (928) 527-3511, or by contacting Coconino County Sheriff at (928) 774-4523.

***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

Notification 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

The Ultimate ‘Date Night’ Dinner

As I said earlier, this dining experience was named one of the “World’s

Most Unique Dining Experiences” by Fodor’s Travel. The dinner takes place

under the stars in a romantic date grove near Yuma. Unlike others on the

prestigious list, which include dining on a glacier in Canada, atop a tree in

Zambia and upon an opulent Hungarian opera stage, you won’t have to

travel far.

Each course features Medjool dates, one of Yuma’s crops.

Dinner dates: February 28 and March 20

Price: $80 per person

MUNDS PARK COMMUNITY CHURCH UPDATE by Mike Simswww.mundsparkcc.org

What A Community!!

Remember a winter like this? Snow startedaround Thanksgiving, knocking out the power forup to thirty hours and then more snow prior toChristmas! The temperature has been cold. I stillhave a fair amount of snow in my yard and on theroof. Now we’ve had the January thaw and awaitthe unpredictable weather ahead.

The power outage in November will always bememorable to me. Neighbors were checking onneighbors. People were offering help whereverneeded. Those of us with phones were checkingwith those who did not. What better place to livethan in Munds Park?

You don’t have to wait for a weather event in thiscommunity to see us pull together. Many of ourresidents have lost loved ones this winter and theoutpouring of love and concern has been remark-able. Someone on Facebook can post a need forhelp, a request for prayer or a need to purchasefirewood and the neighborhood responds.

Have you heard someone say, “I wish we couldlive in the Good Ole Days.” Living today inMunds Park is living in the “Good Ole Days.”Neighbors care about one another and work tokeep our community safe and a pleasant place tocall home.

As Christ said, “Love your neighbor as you loveyourself,” is lived by our residents in Munds Park.I thank Christ everyday for blessing me with the

opportunity to live in such a wonderful place withcaring friends and neighbors.

As we approach the summer, I hope you willjoin us in some of our events at the church. Be-fore you know it, summer will be upon us and ac-tivities will be plentiful in the community. Pleasejoin us for a Bible study or church service soon.

God bless each of you!
