BOYCE THOMPSON ARBORETUM

The Stage Curtain

Jackie Gatewood, committee chairIn early April, an ad hoc committee was appointed by the

Board to “relaunch” the exploration/feasibility of installing a

stage curtain in the Superstition Center. Bill Wash, Peggy

Malsom, Cis Haines, Mike Worthy, Allen Fry, Tom

Stoalabarger, Rick Peters and myself served on the committee

with Gary Molzen appointed as the Board liaison. The

committee represented various MountainBrook groups who are

involved in presentations and activities that use the stage

facilities.

The need for a stage curtain has been voiced by residents

and volunteers for several years. The results of the survey sent

out by the 2012 Five Year Plan Committee indicated it was the

number one requested item. At that time, a small group was

assigned to investigate the possibility of installing a stage

curtain. Following a call to a New York stage company, we

were directed to Clearwing Productions and a representative

from Clearwing Productions came to MountainBrook to

provide information and a quote. (Interesting fact: Clearwing

is one of our vendors and does the lighting in the Superstition

Center).

On May 1, the current ad hoc committee requested that

Clearwing send their representative again to update the new

committee. The representative provided information to the

committee and answered all of their questions and concerns.

A recommendation was sent through the liaison to the board

and our manager, Corey Nelson, to pursue obtaining bids.

Subsequently, the Board accepted the Clearwing bid and voted

to install a stage curtain. The Board voted on May 27th to

accept the bid from Clearwing Productions, Inc. The cost will

not exceed the $10,000.00 limitation.

So now you will not have to look at the stage props for the

various activities while you enjoy your coffee and donuts,

potlucks, and any of the other activities in the Center. You will

soon be able to enjoy our productions with a new aura of

professionalism. Our sincere thanks to the Board for

supporting the host of presentations that use the stage.

L E T ’S D O D I N N E RSAVE THE DATE

Jeff Hager, SecretaryFollowing are notes from the 5/27/14 Board of Directors

meeting and are not approved meeting minutes.President Rick Peters called the meeting to order. All members

were present either in person or via conference call. Mr. Peters made

short comments regarding his concern about recent negative e-mails.

Treasurer Tami Tack reported: The board approved a policy to

provide homeowners selected financial reports and overviews

available in the office and on the website. Written questions may be

submitted to the Budget & Finance chairman or to the treasurer at

any time. Full approved financial reports will be available in the

office and may be copied for a fee.

Manager Corey Nelson reported that the MBV website has been

moved to the new host. We should be seeing improvements. Seal

coating of our streets and culvert cleaning by Pinal County is

progressing. The new Kitchell contract for work on the Mesquite

project will be reviewed at an upcoming Board workshop. Hand

rails for the bocce ball benches continue to be worked on with

contractors. If successful, they may be used on other benches

around the campus.

A motion was made and approved to purchase and install a

curtain in the Superstition Center.

Following much discussion, the Board approved a short term

solution to the pickle ball issue by authorizing new lines for two

courts be painted in blue on the multi-use sports court, and evenly

divided usage with the tennis players three days a week each, with

Sunday open to either use. The Buildings & Grounds Committee will

be assigned to tackle the long term solution of a noise abatement wall

and finding a location for additional pickle ball courts.

Buildings & Grounds have been busy. They have completed a

report on recommended room temperatures during occupied and

unoccupied times, winter and summer. They are also analyzing

pumps, pipes and maintenance for the front fountain. The

management and the Communications Committee were given

authorization to finalize wordage and to get the new pool signs

completed. At next month’s meeting, Matt Hyatt, the fitness VIP

will have proposals and costs for updated equipment.

Following adjournment, homeowners expressed their thoughts

and concerns: Some of the comments included: The cover on the

west pool should be maintained and used. The flags look great. The

chairs around the pool appear messy. The temperature in the

Superstition Center remains too cold. Noise from the pickle ball

courts is an issue. And storage continues to be a problem.

Community CornerBOARD HIGHLIGHTS

Covenants CornerBill Pritchard, Architectural Committee co-chair

This column is returning as a periodic feature in the Mountaineer,

intended to help both new and long- time residents gain a basic

understanding of the Architectural Standards in effect in our

Community. It is not intended to be all-encompassing or go into great

detail, but to provide more of an overview of some of the more

commonly misunderstood or misinterpreted sections.

New applications for painting and/or coating of driveways are no

longer approved. Painting was disallowed almost 5 years ago, when it

was found that many previously painted driveways were not being

maintained by homeowners. Driveways painted or coated prior to July

28, 2009 - with prior Architectural Committee approval - must

continue to be maintained as originally approved, or the paint or

coating must be removed.

The section covering fences & walls probably entails most of the

requests the Architectural Committee receives. Except in very special

and specific circumstances, any block wall cannot be more than 32

inches in height. This includes walls in back or side yards with built-in

seating benches. Wrought iron fencing may be up to 60 inches in

height, except when it is built on top of a block wall. Then, the

combined height of the block wall with the fencing on top must be no

more than 60 inches in height. Anyone who proposes to build either a

block wall or an iron fence directly on their property line must have

written permission from the adjacent affected property owner(s) before

the submission will be considered. Fences and walls may be built on

recorded utility easements, but should the utility company need access,

it becomes the homeowner’s responsibility and expense to remove,

reconstruct, and/or repair the fence or wall.

For those homeowners in Pinnacle Vistas or Fairway Vistas, there

may be special processing and requirements for fence and wall

construction. In either subdivision, if the wall is to connect directly to

the side or rear of the home, you should seek approval from your

respective HOA prior to submission to the MBV Architectural

Committee. In Fairway Vistas, any wall you build will require prior

approval from the Fairway Vistas HOA, even if it does not connect to

the home.

Privacy or screen walls between attached units are permitted within

Pinnacle Vistas and Fairway Vistas. Such walls must be block

construction, stuccoed and painted to match the dwelling. The

maximum height shall be six feet and the minimum height shall be 32

inches. The maximum length of wall higher than 32 inches shall be 10

feet. The wall shall contain at least two step-downs. Such walls must

be approved by either the PV or FV HOA before being submitted to the

MBV Architectural Committee. Next month’s article will discuss

patio covers and patio enclosures.

Sonoran Living TV ShowOn Friday, August 1st, MBV will have a special bus to the live

taping of “Sonoran Living”, the ABC TV show. The bus will leave

MB at 7:15am and go directly to the TV station. After watching the

live taping we will all travel on the bus to Elephant Bar in Chandler

for lunch, and then return home by 1:30pm. You will want to tape

the show that day so you can watch it when you return home.

The only cost for this event is the cost of the bus which is $20.

Lunch is on your own. We must have at least 27 sign up to make

this fun event happen so please come to the Activity Office and get

your tickets. Tickets are on sale now and the cutoff is Tuesday, July

15th.

DONATION POLICYCis Haines

This is a summary from the actual policyRemember the $10,000 limit on MBV expenditures? Well pretty much everything costs

that much these days. Your Board has recently adopted a resolution to allow for purchases

for the common area improvements using donations to pay for a portion of the cost. These

projects must be approved by the BOD at a duly called meeting. (this policy has been

reviewed and approved by our lawyers)

The Board is to determine how the funds will be allocated but the donor can request their

donation be used to fund a specific Board approved project. The project cannot start until it

is fully funded. If the project is not fully funded after two years the requesting donor can

amend the proposal. If there is no amended proposal, the Board has sole discretion to

designate the funds to other Board approved projects. This expense is not an expenditure of

association funds but it is a means to contribute to a specific project.

Confusing? Here is an example: In the case of an item costing over the $10,000 limit. Say

the item costs $12,000 and $8,000 will be coming from the donations account, the Board can

elect to contribute $4,000 to the project and it is not subject to the vote requirements of

Bylaws 6.2.

How do I donate? There is a form in the office that must be filled out. The donation is not

tax deductible.

Paula MacDonaldFrom June through September, the

potters in MBV have been invited to

display their creations in the display case in

the library. Each potter’s work will be

highlighted for one month. This small

group of potters has come together over the

years beginning in the late 90’s. We have

come with little knowledge and

background of potting experience. We

came together with a true desire and

interest in this craft that we have chosen as

our retirement pastime. We have potters

that are hand-builders and those who

wheel-throw clay, all enjoying this

wonderful Fired Arts building facility.

Our numbers swell in the months from

November to March and then thin out from

April through October with year-round

residents holding down the fort. The group

meets on Monday, Wednesday and Friday,

year round, in the Fired Arts building. We

share ideas and materials and the use of

equipment including the Village kilns.

Come visit us in the Fired Arts building

located just south of the east swimming

pool area.

Artist of the Month

Peggy Helton Malsom As Father’s Day approaches, I know I am one of the lucky ones. Obviously, I’m lucky

that my father is still in my life and will be ninety one years young this July. He’s still

living in his home and is in good health. He is scheduled for a hernia operation, but

that’s because he recently fell off a fence while he was changing out the battery on his

tractor. Don’t ask me to explain further, that’s the explanation I got. What are you going

to do?

I’m also lucky that I was the beneficiary of his somewhat unorthodox advice. When I

entered my boy-crazy teenaged years, Dad advised me to “always keep a spare in my hip

pocket much like an extra pair of pliers. That way if one went missing, I’d always have

another one nearby.” My girlfriends all seemed to be intent on finding “the one” and

wanting to “go steady.” Their lives were filled with drama while mine was filled with

lots of fun without the angst. I was lucky to have missed that at least as long as I

followed Dad’s advice.

Many years later when problems did come, I felt pretty sorry for myself. Wallowing in

my sorrows would pretty much describe my condition. Dad watched for a while then

came to have a father-daughter talk with me. “Sis,” he said, “this isn’t doing anybody

any good. Get over it,” and with that he walked out the door. I was pretty upset with

him, thinking he was cruel and insensitive and just didn’t understand until I realized he

was probably right. I crawled out of bed, showered, picked myself up as best I could and

got on with my life. Not the life I’d planned, but a new life I now was able to create –

post wallowing. It’s the life I now enjoy thanks to Dad’s advice.

Dad has a great sense of humor. Dad tells stories that make you laugh before the

punch line because you have heard it so many times before and you love it and because

he’s already laughing. Dad says “me too” when I say, “I love you.” That means he loves

me too. On Father’s Day and in life I had a father who loved me and taught me and gave

me advice and laughed with me and still does. That means I’m one of the lucky ones.

One of the Lucky Ones

Pam BurksIt is always fun, entertaining and lots of

laughs. Those who attended on March 8th,

didn’t seem to care that they did not win

“money” but they did win chances for to

win many valuable door prizes. This event

brings our residents, business leaders, and

local representatives together for charity.

Gold Canyon Lions “serve” and this event

makes it possible to give back even more to

the many programs they support.

There are many campaigns under way

and a candidate is very busy, but not too

busy to support our Gold Canyon Lions.

For example; Ron LeDuc, is running for

re-election for Apache Junction JP court,

Constable. Adam Stevens is running for

one of two openings for Legislative District

16. They were big winners at the Black

Jack table.

The laughter, hooping and hollering,

good food and good friends is a total win

for Gold Canyon Lions and their many

worthy causes such as: Lions Camp

Tatiyee, sight and hearing programs, Lions

International Foundation, Gold Canyon

Food Bank, CAAFA, Boys & Girls Clubs,

student Scholarships and more.

A special thanks to Rachelle Haviland,

and Husband, Ramesh Ramaswamy, MD.

Of Doctors Choice and Assisted Living

Locators for sponsoring both businesses

and taking part in our live auction where

Rachelle purchased the coveted prize, the

Holland America Cruise for two for $3500.

Bon Vonage!

She is an "over the top" supporter of the

Gold Canyon Lions. She is so impressed

with the group of hard working Lions she is

strongly considering becoming a member.

(I have her application ready).

If you missed the event this year, I hope

you will consider attending the event next

year. Mark your calendar for March 7,

2015. For more information or to become a

Ruth ParkerI’ve been quiet the past couple of months but I’m

back to try to get you all excited about Supper Club for

the coming year. Of course you don’t have to wait until

the annual Pot Luck in November to join. Don’t’ miss

out on nummies like Salmon in July or Shoo Fly Pie in

Aug. Call Joan O’Leary at 480-474-8960 and join now.

As I’m sitting up north eating KFC or cooking dinner

for just the two of us I sure wish I was in Gold Canyon

on a Supper Club members’ patio for pre-dinner

munchies and drinks with old friends and new before partaking of a dinner that I only

had to cook part of. I’m thinking there’s a lot of us part timers thinking the same

thing. Remember, Supper Club is for all of us, whether we’re year round residents or

winter residents. Wherever you are this summer I hope you’re having a good one.

June 20149

SUPPER CLUB

Linda RohrbachIt was in the spring of 1996. Harvey and

I were sitting in the doctor’s office to hear

the results of some tests Harvey had done.

We were in the prime of our lives -

Harvey was 51 and I was 47. Both of our

sons were gone from home and doing well

in their own individual careers. Tessa, our

daughter, was just finishing her junior year

in high school. Things were going to be

great in a couple of years with the kids all

gone from home; there would certainly be

weddings, grand babies and a lot more time

for just the two of us.

We had just gone through a rough year. I

had fallen and severely broken my leg and it

was a long and slow recovery. That meant

Harvey had to do all the farm work alone.

Even though I was struggling with my own

recovery I had noticed that my workaholic

husband had slowed down a lot during the

last 3 to 4 months. He noticed it too and

admitted that he seemed overly tired and

after a lot of persistence he finally agreed to

get a complete physical. We were thinking

he had some bad sinus infection going on, or

maybe some allergy of some sort.

So there we were wondering why we had

both been called into the doctor’s office.

Our small town family doctor walked into

the room with a very grim face and told us

that some of the tests he had run came back

with troubling results. He wanted us to go

to Bismarck immediately to see an

oncologist. My ears were ringing! What

was he saying? Oncology? That spelled

Cancer! He was talking about a man who

was never ever sick! I had known Harvey

for over 30 years and he probably had the

flu once in all those years. Doctor Tinsa

must be mistaken! We were both in

disbelief and just sat there looking at each

other. The doctor set up the appointment for

the next day in Bismarck (120 miles away)

and I know he talked to us in length about

what could or could not happen but I can’t

remember anything that was said. I do

however vividly remember that ringing in

my ears.

We left the office and for a few minutes

sat in the car looking at each other like we

were watching ourselves from the outside.

Harvey finally put the car into gear and we

drove home in silence. After we got home I

assured him the doctor was most certainly

over reacting and the visit to the oncologist

the next day would leave us feeling a whole

lot better than what we felt today. But I had

the worst gut wrenching feeling. “Dear

Lord, don’t let this day be the beginning of

the end!” I never shared the gut feeling I

had that day with Harvey because that’s just

the way it was with us.

It is easy to write your story when you doit one story little story at a time. That is

what Barb Hofmeister teaches. New LifeStory Writing Classes will begin October20th. It is fun and easy. Sign up in the

office or call Barb Hofmeister (480-288-9745) if you have questions.

Before you leave this world, write your life story; your family will love it.Linda is one of my advanced writers (she has been in several classes) and is well on her way to completing her story.

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARYNancy Bozek

It is summer and most of us are going to travel. We have some really nice books on

various vacation spots. These are not your cocktail table books but information books such

as Fodor’s and Eyewitness Travel Guides. If you say that they are out of date, the

interesting things to do and see do not grow old.

We would also like to start a Blue Ray section in our media room. If you have any and

would like to donate them, we can get this going.

We have a bulletin board hanging on the wall just across from the romance area. It has

the Best Seller list and many times information on authors. We don't always have the

current best seller but we do have the best seller authors here at the Library. As always

thank you for your donations.

Card Making with MillieDo you love the look of handmade greeting cards but you aren’t

sure what to put on a card or how to make one? Come join the fun

and make custom greeting cards for every occasion. Classes are two

hours of creative fun and you will be proud of your finished product.

Make five cards for $10 with all materials provided.

Classes are from 1-3pm in Mesquite or Ocotillo Centers on the following

June 2014 14

Peggy Helton MalsomMy hair is frizzing, the insects are chirping, the humidity is rising; some things I hate

about the South. My complexion is dewy, the tea is sweetened, the dogwoods and azaleas

are blooming; some things I love about the South. A return trip to Savannah, Georgia, this

time to visit the grandkids in their new home, rekindled some past memories plus added a

few new ones. Isn’t that what a trip should do?

Dennis and I stayed in Savannah when we travelled the United States eight years ago in

our motorhome. A recent move there by our daughter and son-in-law was our excuse to

return. My requirement was that we get there and return before the humidity. I have spent

my time in purgatory having lived ten years in southern Alabama enduring summer’s

equatorially hot and humid heat and I don’t care to repeat the experience. So an end of

March trip was planned and proved just about right weather wise.

Our return pleasures included visits to Savannah’s cobbled River Street water front

where former cotton warehouses have been transformed into tourist stops, antique shops

and the world famous River Street

Sweets. Enter at your own risk as

free samples are handed out

coming in and going out. What’s

not to love about sugar, butter and

pecans shaped into a candy patty?

They’ve also concocted a

chocolate version. So, sugar,

butter, pecans and chocolate in a

conveniently ingestible form.

Dennis had to get behind and push

to get me up the stairs to the next

level which is Main Street where

we had reservations for lunch at

The Pink House.

Don’t think all we did was eat

while we were there. We also admired the tree-lined squares dripping with Spanish moss

as we walked between eating establishments. I have to tell you about the She Crab Soup at

The Pink House. After serving our bowls of soup, which were basically crab and cream,

the waiter topped each with freshly ground pepper and sherry. Oh, my. Savannah is not

for the weak of heart or arteries. We then shared a BLT Salad to feel righteous, but it

didn’t help because they fried the green tomato and used it to replace the bread. Forget

Chicago, Savannah is my kind of town.

The next day we went to Hilton Head, stayed on the beach all day with the grandsons,

and thereby stayed away from all forms of bad-for-you food until dinner. We were still

stuffed anyway so it really wasn’t difficult. A stop at a local seafood restaurant for dinner

on the way home found me safely ordering peel-and-eat shrimp then before I could stop

myself, the appetizer crab cakes. What is wrong with me? Don’t answer, that was a

rhetorical question.

There’s more, but we are now on our way to the airport to fly home as I write this on the

back of an envelope. We watched Jason practice baseball and listened to this kindergarten-

age whiz kid read at a fifth or sixth grade level (says the proud grandma who used to teach

reading). We watched Jackson’s soccer practice and were proud of how patiently this

impatient third-grader took turns. He’s definitely improving (and I predict will make the

All Stars team).

Hopefully, they will have learned to say “Yes, Sir” and “Yes, Ma’am” like true

Southerners instead of “Yeah” by this time next year. The South still has a lot to teach

those willing to learn. I need to learn to say “No, thank you” to the pecan pie before we

visit again.

Savannah RevisitedSupper Club Recipes

If you like to try recipes, try these from

the MBV Supper Club where residents have

been enjoying one another’s company while

dining on unique hand-made recipes. This

summer we will bring you some of their

favorite recipes from the 2013 selection. If

you would like to join the Supper Club, call

Joan O’Leary @ 480-474-8960.

HOT CRAB DIP8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup sour cream

2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1

teaspoon)

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 can (6 ounces each) flaked crabmeat

2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

cheese

chopped nuts, optional

crackers or cocktail bread

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix together

for about 5 minutes before serving.

MOUNTAINBROOKKENTUCKY DERBY PARTY

Marilee PritchardMay 3, 2014 was the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby. Despite the perfect weather, there

were only 19 horses running from a potential field of 20. One horse scratched after the pole

positions were drawn, the alternate horse also scratched. It was an exciting race with the bargain

basement priced horse California Chrome in first place. As of this writing, California Chrome also

won the Preakness so this is a big chance for a Triple Crown winner. Belmont Stakes is the final

hurdle.

There might have been a bargain basement winner at Churchill Downs, there were no such

winners at the Mountainbrook Kentucky Derby Party. Not to disappoint, Kathy Fleming with all

her glitz and glamour won Best Dressed. In a photo finish, Bob Barranti also won a Best Dressed

prize thanks to his dapper attire; a handsome combination of Colonel Sanders and Rhett Butler.

As usual, the hats were creative, beautiful and sometimes eclectic. Joy Bliss secured First Place,

Kathy Fleming with Second Place and a three way tie for Third Place. Joann Clark, Jana Lea Olm

and Barb O’Brien each selected a lovely prize.

A strange occurrence: By the end of the party, Chuck Cuffaro was wearing the

attractive boxer shorts Joy Bliss had selected as her prize, over his existing shorts.

There must be more to this story!

Hope to see everyone at the 2015 Kentucky Derby Party! Mark your calendars:

Saturday May 2, 2015, and think about your chapeau!
