Community Meetings: 2016

The Pinewood Fire Station Gets A Facelift

Thanks to a generous grant from the Pinewood Property Owner’s Association (PPOA),the fire station has had a much needed facelift! As anyone who has been to the station

can attest, we have been in need of exterior paint and carpentry repairs for severalyears, but as you know, money has been tight. Those repairs had been put on the back

burner due to more pressing emergency apparatus and equipment repair needs in orderto guarantee that our primary mission success was met.

As we saved money over a period of years to complete the needed repairs, the exteri-or damage was reaching the point of outdistancing our saving plan, and we wouldn’t

have been able to perform the needed repairs before our strategic savings were adequate at the rate of deterioration we were experiencing.

Once again, the PPOA came to our rescue with the bulk of the money to assist withthe restoration of the damage and paint to give us a weatherproof and attractive struc-ture! While I am thanking the PPOA for this assistance, it should be noted that it was

you, the citizens of Munds Park that truly made this happen. Your generous donationsto the PPOA funded this project, and once again I’m amazed by the generosity and

commitment to community each and every one of you exhibit.

Again, a most heartfelt thanks to the PPOA and every one of you that has contributedto ensuring that Munds Park continues to be the beautiful and safe place we all enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving

“If you are really thankful, what doyou do? You share.” W. Clement Stone

“Over and over I marvel at the blessingsof my life: Each year has grown better than

the last. “ Lawrence Welk

“Be thankful for what you have;you'll end up having more. If you

concentrate on what you don't have,you will never, ever have enough.”

Oprah Winfrey

“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kind-ness received. Thankfulness is the natural

impulse to express that feeling.Thanksgiving is the following of that

impulse.” Henry Van Dyke

“Acknowledging the goodthat you already have in

your life is the foundationfor all abundance.” ~

Eckhart Tolle

“The focus of Thanksgiving should be a

reflection of how our lives have been made so

much more comfortable by the sacrifices of

those who have come before us.” ~ Emmons

An Irish Blessing:

“Count your blessings instead of your crosses;

Count your gains instead of your losses.

Count your joys instead of your woes;

Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;

Count your courage instead of your fears.

Count your full years instead of your lean;

Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth;

Love your neighbor as much as yourself.”

“God smiles when we praise and thank Him con-tinually. Few things feel better than receiving

heartfelt praise and appreciation from someoneelse. God loves it, too. An amazing thing happenswhen we offer praise and thanksgiving to God.

When we give God enjoyment, our own hearts arefilled with joy.” ~ William Law

Wonderful

& Blessed Holiday!

THREE PERFECTDAYS IS SEDONA

Stacey WittigVagabonding Lulu Travel

Now that the temperatures have dipped in MundsPark, it’s time to turn attention to Sedona. Novemberis a perfect months for Sedona hiking, touring or justhanging out on an outdoor deck overlooking the spec-tacular Red Rock Country. Last month I had theopportunity to spend three adventure-filled days inSedona tasting exceptional food, experiencing newadventures and relaxing at the fabulous Hilton SedonaResort at Bell Rock.

DAY ONEI stop into the Coconino Red Rock Visitor Center

and Ranger Station after my 30-minute drive to theVillage of Oak Creek. The friendly National ForestRangers give me free trail and road maps and offeradvice on some of the newer trails. The Red Rock

Country geology display and “Honor the Past: Humantimeline of the Verde Valley Area” pull the curtainback on the mysteries of Sedona, even for those of uswho have visited many times. Outside the modernfacility, I take a selfie with Smokey, the Bear and chatwith Japanese tourists. I’m reminded that Sedona trulyis a world-class destination and people from all overjourney to see what we have here in our own back-yard.

Just 1.2 miles down the Red Rock Scenic Bywayfrom the national forest visitor center, the approach-able front desk staff helps me check into the HiltonSedona Resort at Bell Rock. I note that the lobby hasbeen updated since my last visit. The clean lines andsubtle colors reflect the calm of the surrounding highdesert. A sculpture of long, frosted glass shards dancesfrom the ceiling over a bed of beach glass that mimicsthe tranquility of nearby Oak Creek. The multi-milliondollar renovation took place last year and includedmakeovers to the resort’s 219 guest rooms, whichinclude 171 one-bedroom suites. The restyling reachedall the way to a rebranding of the hotel (adding BellRock, the iconic Sedona rock monument and vortex,to the resort’s name) and includes new guest experi-ences focused on adventure and exploring the region.

I meet other travel writers for dinner on the spa-cious patio of the Hilton’s ShadowRock restaurant.Executive Chef Christopher Knightly prepares tastyappetizers, a main of perfectly-prepared venisonmedallions with corn and potatoes and a delectablePumpkin Crème brûlée for dessert. I recommend the alfresco dining experience to all who appreciate finefood.

DAY TWOI enjoy the guilty pleasure of room-service break-

fast on the balcony of my spacious one-bedroom suiteand then meet the others at 8:00 a.m. for a Sedona Air

Tours helicopter tour. Angel 1 Limousines picks us up

at the hotel and delivers us to the Sedona Airport

where we meet our crew for the Ancient’s Way Tour.

I’m happy when they don’t announce the results of my

“weigh-in” to the other three passengers. Our pilot

flies us into Secret Canyon, Long Canyon and

Boynton Canyon, areas of Sedona that are not accessi-

ble by vehicle. I’ve hiked most of these canyons and

gaped at the red stone spires from the trails, but this is

the first time that I’ve flown high among the rock

landscape. It’s a thrilling expedition, but I have to

admit that it’s a real adrenalin rush to pass so close.

When the former Blackhawk pilot takes one hand off

the cyclic stick to point out an eyelevel 800-year old

Sinagua cliff dwelling below the canyon wall, I stifle

the impulse to yell out “Keep your hands on the

wheel!”

We debrief about our thrilling air adventure at lunch at

the Sedona Golf Resort, home of the “Most

Photographed Par 3 in the Southwest.” After lunch, I

head back to my suite to change into something more

comfortable for a relaxing afternoon in the eforea spa

at the Hilton Sedona Resort. The 25,000-square-feet

of fitness, wellness and spa amenities delivers a full-

service spa experience for resort guests and club

members alike. I’m scheduled for a “Cupping

Massage” demonstration and then a 90-minute

Signature Full Circle Treatment that focuses on

indigenous ingredients and techniques that reflect the

region of Sedona and the greater Southwest.

by Jan Toth

What do you know about or Emergency

Medical Service (EMS) here in Munds

Park? As I was going through my upstairs

office, I was ecstatic to find all the stories

and papers I had written when I attended

Coconino Community College. One of

those papers was on the history of

Prehospital Emergency Medical Services.

As I read through it, I thought some of the

information might be interesting to many of

The Pinewood News readers. I have adjust-

ed it for length and for information that has

changed since this was written or I found it

could be written better.

Prehospital Emergency Medical Services

officially began in the 1960’s; however, the

idea and use of pre-hospital EMS dates

back to the 1790’s when the French trans-

ported wounded soldiers out of the battle

scene to an area where they could be cared

for by Physicians. No medical care was pro-

vided from the battle field to the hospital

setting; they provided transport only. Most

instances of Emergency Medical Services

were inspired by wars; Clara Barton during

the Civil War and the volunteer ambulance

corp. during World War I. Outside the bat-

tlefields, ambulance services began in

some major U.S. cities in the early 1900’s,

but only as a ride to an emergency facility.

Smaller localities began providing the same

transport service in the 1940’s. Washington

State was one of the few states that had

any type of training requirements at all, and

their requirement was CPR and maybe an

advanced first-aid class. In trauma situa-

tions the attendant would put some type of

bandage over the blood, maybe use some

oxygen and get the patient to the hospital.

Medical patients may have received oxygen

but the attendant often did not even ride in

the back with the patient.

Emergency care of trauma injuries in the

field began to advance during the Korean

Conflict in the 50’s and the Vietnam War in

the 60’s and 70’s. The military medical

technicians were first used in the Korean

War. They often parachuted into area where

they were needed, thus the term para-

medic. They were medical corpsmen who

were also parachutists. The modern term

paramedic is now taken to mean “closely

resembling; beside.” Hospitals began to

assign resources and facilities to handle

shock trauma The need for extending hos-

pital quality care to the sick and injured

from the scene of the incident all the way to

the emergency room was recognized.

In 1968, the National Research Council

issued a statement directing that employ-

ees or volunteer members of public and pri-

vate organizations having a responsibility

for the delivery of health services must be

trained and accountable for care and deliv-

ery of acutely ill or injured victims to a medi-

cal center. It called for the development and

implementation of training courses, manu-

als and training aids. The statement calls

for ambulance personnel to render first aid,

but also carry out added measures that will

make it safe to move a victim and minimize

morbidity and mortality. It also included a

statement directing the safe and efficient

operation of vehicles, and to maintain com-

munications with the emergency depart-

ment. With this statement, the concept of

ambulance as just a means for transporting

the sick and injured to an emergency facility

passed into oblivion. Ambulance personnel

became a more skilled care giver, and were

no longer viewed as only people with the

physical ability to lift victims in and out of

ambulances. Victims now became patients

and received prehospital emergency care

from highly trained professional personnel.

In 1966, the National Highway Safety Act

gave the United States Department of

Transportation (DOT) the job of developing

Emergency Medical Services standards

and to help the states upgrade the quality of

their prehospital emergency care. They also

had the responsibility of developing ambu-

lance configurations and equipment. In the

same year, 1966, the American Heart

Association was in the process of develop-

ing training programs for cardiopulmonary

resuscitation and basic life support. Today

millions of people have been taught how to

help the victims of heart attack, obstructed

airway and cessation of breathing by recog-

nizing there is a problem and beginning

CPR.

Leo Schwartz was hired by DOT to plan

and help develop a program for Standard

11 of the Highway Safety Act. He and his

staff began immediately to work on ways to

cut highway deaths and improve on-scene

care. He and his staff designed the Star of

Life insignia that emblazons everything pre-

hospital. The Star of Life is a blue star inset

with medicine’s serpent-entwined staff; the

caduceus is taken from the Greek mytho-

logical figure of Asclepius, a healer. Only

the staff is actually a medical symbol,

Schwartz noted: the serpent symbolized

Mercury and Hermes, who were gods of

speed, and messengers.

Didn’t somebody once say you can neverhave too much of a good thing? Well, theymight have been talking about pumpkin at myhouse. I always have a can (okay, maybe morethan one can) of pumpkin sitting in my pantry.Love the stuff!

I assume you celebrated National PumpkinDay on October 26th. If not, mark your calen-dar for next year so you can try out even morerecipes. Pumpkin just makes you feel happy,doesn’t it?

It can be a challenge to find pumpkin yearround, so I load up when stores stock theirshelves. I’m talking about “pumpkin” NOT“pumpkin pie mix”. I prefer the unsweetened,unspiced stuff for what I do. I’ll add my own,thank you, if I want to make a sweet dish.

But with so many other options for pumpkin,think outside the can!

QC Tip #30:Pumpkin is good for soup to

nuts (bread).Last year I shared how I cook stew in small

pumpkin shells. Check out my column lastNovember at

http://www.thepinewoodnews.com/assets/pwn-11-23-15.pdf

When making a recipe calling for pumpkin,you sometimes have more in the can than therecipe called for. Use up those dibs and dabs ininteresting ways.

1) Mix pumpkin with softened cream cheese.To make it savory, add onions and garlic. Tomake it sweet, add brown sugar (or maplesyrup) and spices like cinnamon, ginger, andnutmeg. Spread on crackers or dip fruits andveggies.

2) Take some of that sweet or savory pump-kin-cream cheese mixture and spread it on yourbagel or toast.

3) I add leftover pumpkin to whatever soupor stew I’m making. It adds nutrition and rarelycan be tasted.

4) Cut circles from your favorite pie crust.The number depends upon how much leftoverpumpkin you have. Mix leftover pumpkin withspices and maple syrup. Put a teaspoon or twoin the middle of the dough (depending on thesize of our circles) and fold over. Seal theedges. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bakeat 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes until lightlybrowned.

Now for some actual recipes. Why not makea pumpkin appetizers-to-dessert dinner withthis column’s recipes?

I make a quick pumpkin soup that we enjoyyear round. It takes about five minutes!

Quick Pumpkin Soup (serves 4)1 medium onion, grated2 tablespoons olive oil29 oz. can of pumpkin (large can)1 quart chicken broth (or vegetable broth)½ cup cream (or use Half-and-Half or Greek

yogurt)2 teaspoons curry powder

Saute onion in olive oil over medium heat.Cook about 1-2 minutes until the onion softens.

Blend in pumpkin, chicken broth, cream, andspice. Let simmer for about 3 minutes, stirringoccasionally. Dish up and eat. Extra deliciouswith pumpkin bread!

Penne Rigate with Creamy PumpkinSauce (serves 4; source: Everyday Food)12 oz. penne rigate pasta (or other short pasta)2 tablespoons olive oil1 tablespoon fresh rosemary15 oz. can of pumpkin1 garlic clove, minced½ cup Half-and-Half1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar¼ teaspoon red-pepper flakes (plus more for garnish)

Cook pasta as directed. Drain, reserving twocups of pasta water. Set pasta aside.

In pasta pot, heat oil over medium heat. Addrosemary and fry until starting to brown (about1-2 minutes). Transfer rosemary to paper towel,leaving oil in pot.

Slowly add pumpkin to the pot. It will splat-ter some. Add in garlic, half-and-half, cheese,vinegar, red pepper flakes, and one cupreserved pasta water.

Heat about three minutes, until sauce is hot.Add in pasta and toss. If sauce is too thick addin more pasta water to thin it.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with friedrosemary and red-pepper flakes.

Pumpkin Dump Cake (serves 8-9)15 oz. can pumpkin (the small one)can of evaporated milk1 cup brown sugar3 eggs3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spicebox of yellow cake mix1 cup butter (2 sticks), melted1 cup coarsely crushed pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13” baking dish with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin,evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, and spice.

Stir until thoroughly combined.-Pour into the prepared pan and spread to the edges evenly. -Cover the top evenly with the cake mix. Top with pecans.-Pour melted butter evenly over the cake mix and nuts.-Bake for 45-50 minutes. Edges will be lightly browned and the center will be set. -Delicious hot or cold, with or without ice cream or whipped cream.

Mountainaire for their cooperation and professionalism while working

with the County throughout the year-long process to create a commu-

nity consensus for an operational model that will keep the Willard

ary factors, we believe that, by working together, we have been able

to develop a viable, near-term solution for the Willard Springs

Winterizing Your Irrigation System

Without proper preparation your sprinkler system might bedamaged by freezing temperatures. Here are some tips fromRain Bird on how to prepare your irrigation system for winterconditions.

Insulate Your Assets:Shut off the water supply to the irrigation system. The mainshut off valve for your irrigation system needs to be protectedagainst freezing. Make sure it is wrapped with insulation (foaminsulation tape and a plastic bag) to protect it from harsh wintertemperatures and prevent it from freezing. If you do not have amain shut off valve, you might consider installing one as a pre-ventative investment. Also, any above ground piping needs tobe insulated. Self-sticking foam-insulating tape or foam insulat-ing tubes commonly found at home supply stores are fine.

Stay in Control:If you have an automatic system, then you will need to "shutdown" the controller (timer). Most controllers have a "rain-mode" which simply shuts off the signals to the valves. The con-troller continues to keep time, the programming informationisn't lost (start times, valve run times, etc.) and the clock contin-ues to run throughout the winter. The only change is that thevalves will not activate. If your controller is responsible for acti-vating a pump, as a precaution you should remove the wiresthat are connected to the MV (Master Valve) and common ter-minals. This will prevent the possibility of the pump being acci-dentally activated which could cause damage from overheating.An alternative to using the rain mode is simply to shut off thepower to the controller. If you do, you'll need to reprogram thetime and potentially all your other settings as well, in the spring.

Drain the Pipes:

Now you need to remove the water from the pipes and sprin-

klers so that it won't freeze/expand and break the pipe. There

are several ways to drain your pipes: a manual drain valve, an

automatic drain valve or the compressed air blow-out method.

However, since there could be potential safety risks we recom-

mend contacting a professional.

Protect Valves and Backflow Preventers

Insulate backflow preventers and valves if they are above

ground. You can also use insulation tape for this. Be sure not to

block the air vents and drain outlets on backflow preventers.

Did you know you might not need an appraisal on a mortgage?

Yes, you are reading this correctly. Years ago (2005 and earlier), Fannie Mae and

Freddie Mac determined if you needed an appraisal on a transaction or not or can get

an appraisal waiver. A waiver means that the value that was inputted for the mort-

gage was accepted and valid for this transaction.

After the housing crisis, this waiver was all but eliminated. But, now they are

coming back, but not for all transactions.

I am seeing an appraisal waiver on many transactions with my clients. These are

for purchases as well as refinances. Many scenarios include money down for a pur-

chase (20% or more), primary residences and only rate and term refinances (not get-

ting cash out of a home). So what does this mean to you? Well, a savings for costs.

Appraisals came run from $450.00 upwards of over $600 depending on your area. If

Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac accept the value of the mortgage, you can save this

money.

I recommend when you are in a transaction to ask your Loan Officer if you

received a waiver for the appraisal. It is on the “findings” of your automated

approval.

HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR SMOKEDETECTORS LATELY??

Wilding permits on Coconino NF Flagstaff, Ariz., — The fall season for collecting live trees, known as wild-

ings, from Coconino National Forest begins Oct. 24th and runs

until Nov. 27.

There are typically two wildings permit seasons – one in the fall and anoth-

er in the spring, for approximately one month while plants are dormant.

Permits will be available for coniferous trees only (Douglas fir, white fir,

ponderosa pine, pinyon pine, and juniper). Due to the severe decline of

aspen stands across the forest and lack of natural regeneration, aspen

seedlings will not be offered.

Trees up to 12 feet tall may be collected; however for the best chance of

successful transplanting, foresters recommend that selected seedlings be

much smaller in size – less than four feet. The fee is $1 per foot, with a min-

imum fee of $20 per permit. Maps of designated gathering locations, along

with transplanting recommendations, are provided with the permit.

Permits are available at the following locations:

· Coconino NF Supervisor’s Office, 1824 S. Thompson St., Flagstaff;

928-527-3600

· Flagstaff Ranger Station, across from the Mall at 5057 N. Hwy 89,

Flagstaff; 928-526-0866

· Red Rock Ranger Station, 8375 State Route 179, Sedona; 928-282-4119;

9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Visitor Center Open 7 days a week)

· Mogollon Rim Ranger Station, 8738 Ranger Road, Happy Jack;

928-477-2255; 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (No permits sold after 3:45 p.m.)

Munds Park Community Watchby Len Friedlund

There have been many articles over the past few years concerning sev-

eral important items that all residents in Munds Park should be aware of

and following the Pinewood Fire Department (PFD) recommendations:

First, and most importantly, if you or someone in your home becomes

distressed with a possible medical issue, DO NOT DRIVE TO THE FIRE

STATION! Call 911 and the PFD responders will be there as fast as you

can drive to the station. There have been a couple of residents over the

past few years who have passed away at the back door of the station with-

out giving the staff the chance to save them. Also, if the person with the

issue is driving himself, consider the possibility of an accident perhaps

injuring another driver if they were to pass out or become unable to con-

trol their vehicle.

Second, response to your home by either the PFD or the Coconino

County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) Deputies needs to be as quick as possi-

ble and if your home does not have easily identifiable house numbers,

especially at night, valuable time can be wasted searching for the right

address. The best numbers you can get are the green and white reflective

numbers that are available at the fire station FOR FREE!

Third, there is a program initiated by the PFD that will check, and

replace if necessary, your smoke alarms in the home. The incidence of

fatal house fires is reduced greatly by having working smoke alarms. Just

call the PFD at (928) 286-9885 and schedule a visit by some of the staff

to come up to your home and check it out

Fourth, and this is going to be one of our greatest concerns as we have

apparently escaped yet another summer without a wildfire threat, you

need to make your property fire safe by cleaning up the pine needles,

trimming trees, and perhaps removing some of them. Again, by calling

the PFD and scheduling an assessment which is free, find out what

actions are needed to get your property in a good condition to resist fire.

We hear all the time from the owners that they want their property to be

like the natural forest and so they don’t want to remove the dozens of

trees that are squeezed up to their house. You undoubtedly have been

reading in the papers that the Forest Services have changed their proce-

dures the last few years and are letting wildfires burn out the underbrush

and smaller trees to prevent serious fires in the future just like the forests

have been doing themselves for centuries.

The next MPCW meeting will be on November 16th at 6:30pm at the

PFD and will occur every three months on the third Wednesday of the

month. Invited guests include the CCSO with Corporal Elano Sales, PFD

Chief John Welsch, Coconino County Public Works with Community

Relations Manager Marc Della Rocca, Deputy Director Mike Lopker, and

Deputy Director Lucinda Andreani, and District Three Supervisor Matt

Ryan.

The Pinewood Property Owners’ Association (PPOA) supports the

MPCW program with funds to cover most of the costs associated with the

program. If you haven’t sent in your annual donation yet to the PPOA,

please consider the support they give us when you do. Your donations

may be mailed to PPOA, PO Box 18673, Munds Park, AZ 86017.

SOMEWHERE AT THIS MOMENT.........Wilma Lentz

Somewhere at this moment,

on some far off Army base,

Wary soldiers start each day,

not knowing what they'll face.


stalwart sailors man the guns

On a ship in foreign waters

where they've been for countless suns.


Air Force pilots roam the skies,

Ever watchful that our country

won't be taken by surprise.


the Coast Guard's watching out,

Checking every craft they meet

to see what it's about.


marines stand proud and tall,

Quick to carry out their duties

should they receive the call.

Our country's very grateful

to all of those who've served--

To every veteran young or old,

our thanks you've well deserved.

At this very moment,

let's take some time to send a prayer

For all those in our military

who're serving everywhere.

I arrived at Newark Airport on a darkand stormy night. It was cold and rainyas I eased the rental car onto the turn-pike, carefully following Siri’s direc-tions. Luckily it was after rush hour andthe other cars were going appropriatelyslowly, forty miles per hour. Siri got meto the hotel in Teaneck safely but didnot direct me to the toll booth. I wentwhere there was a green arrow, the EZpass lane. I’ll probably get a ticket inthe mail and a surcharge from the rentalcompany.

I settled in my room and headeddownstairs for dinner at the hotel.There were several people my age atthe bar and at tables. Were they alsohere for the reunion? No one lookedfamiliar.

The next morning, I drove aroundmy home town. It has weathered thefifty years better than me, looking noolder than when I left. Teaneck. a sub-urb a few miles from New York City,has tree-lined streets and brick houseswith neat lawns. Only a few businessesremained from my day (Bishoff’s andThe Butterflake Bakery) but most of thestorefronts were occupied. I could seethe influence of the influx of OrthodoxJews by the kosher signs in many of therestaurants and the two Judaica storeson Cedar Lane. My elementary school,

B r y a n t ,looked thes a m ee x c e p tthat someof thep l a y -g r o u n dhad beenpaved for

a parking lot and solar panels hoveredabove the parking spaces.

I met my sister in downtownEnglewood for lunch at Baumgart’s, acafé that still has homemade ice creambut now serves Asian food, not caféfare as in the olden days. I had a hardtime finding a parking space as the oneson Palisade Avenue had meters for onlyan hour. I parked on a side street butdidn’t have two dollars in change toplug the meter. Instructions on themeter directed me to download an app,establish an account, and pay via creditcard or PayPal. I could do this but mar-veled at the technology.

Palisade Avenue and its side streetshost high-priced boutiques and jewel-ers. The Woolworth’s where Linda andI had a five cent Coke, browsed theaisles, and took our pictures in thephoto booth has been gone for a longtime.

My sister and I opted to sharedumplings so we’d have room for mini-sundaes, which were the best I had allweekend

Friday evening was the informalHappy Hour. I saw friends I hadn’tbeen in contact for fifty years and heardtheir stories. Most have had good lives.Since there were over six hundred peo-ple in my graduating class, there weremany I still didn’t know but I was inter-

ested intheir sto-ries too.M yopeningline was,“So whathave youb e e n

doing for the past fifty years?”I already knew that most of my

“egghead friends” would not be attend-ing. And the two friends I still see allthe time were also not coming. I was onmy own.

A few people had canes but most ofthe sixty or so people who showed up atthe social hour were in good shape. Igot to tell Nathan Fishkin that all thegirls had crushes on him in junior high.He seemed surprised.

One of my classmates wants me towrite his story about being a drug king-pin. I suggested he send me a digitalrecording of the first two chapters that Iwould rewrite. I’m doubtful it willarrive.

I encountered Danny Davis andreminded him that I wrote up his“divorce papers” from my friend Lindawhen we were in fourth grade. He had

no recollection ofthat.

Another classmatehas a Chihuahua as aservice dog. He istrained to get hermedication and rec-ognize a TIA (com-monly known as amini-stroke) and get

her assistance.I was quite surprised that I only met

one other writer. He works on devotion-al books and I think he does well. Ibrought my books to sell but no onebought one. A few people had read oneof them. I gave one to a friend I hadn’tseen for many years.

The next day wemet at TeaneckHigh School for atwo-hour tour. The“castle on the hill”looked the same asin my day. Aboutsixty of us wereushered into thelibrary. TheDeputy Mayor, anOrthodox Jew,

welcomed us and told us a bit about thetown today. The Mayor is Muslim andthe other Deputy Mayor is AfricanAmerican. Talk about diversity!

The current principal, who’s been inthe job for twenty years, spoke. He is aformer football coach so when he saidthe school was still competitive withsurrounding communities I wasn’t sureif he was referring to academics or ath-letics.

How Does Autumn Color Happen?

For years, scientists have worked to understand the changes that happen to trees and

shrubs in the autumn. Although we don't know all the details, we do know enough to

explain the basics and help you to enjoy more fully Nature's multicolored autumn

farewell. Three factors influence autumn leaf color-leaf pigments, length of night,

and weather, but not quite in the way we think. The timing of color change and leaf

fall are primarily regulated by the calendar, that is, the increasing length of night.

None of the other environmental influences-temperature, rainfall, food supply, and so

on-are as unvarying as the steadily increasing length of night during autumn. As days

grow shorter, and nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical processes in the leaf

begin to paint the landscape with Nature's autumn palette.

What happens to all those fallen leaves?

Needles and leaves that fall are not wasted. They decompose and restock the soil

with nutrients and make up part of the spongy humus layer of the forest floor that

absorbs and holds rainfall. Fallen leaves also become food for numerous soil organ-

isms vital to the forest ecosystem.

It is quite easy to see the benefit to the tree of its annual leaf fall, but the advantage to

the entire forest is more subtle. It could well be that the forest could no more survive

without its annual replenishment from leaves than the individual tree could survive

without shedding these leaves. The many beautiful interrelationships in the forest

community leave us with myriad fascinating puzzles still to solve.

Pinewood News November 7, 2016 27

Continued from page 5

When EMS was introduced into the fire service in the early 70’s, there was a lot of

controversy as to whether or not it should be a part of the fire service. However,

handling Prehospital Emergency Medical Services gives an added dimension to the

public service provided by fire departments, and today, EMS provides at least 75%

to 80% of the fire department call load. In this day and age of cutbacks and budget-

ary constraints, the fire service needs EMS more than ever. When Phoenix Fire first

began training paramedics in the early 70’s, they were taught all the advanced

skills needed to handle different emergency stations, but they did not have any of

the equipment to perform those skills. It was a slow, gradual process to get man-

agement to purchase that equipment.

Today there are three levels of prehospital emergency care: EMT-First Responder,

EMT-Ambulance and EMT-Paramedic. EMT-First Responder was created a few years

ago to help smaller communities with fewer volunteers and even fewer full-time

employees. First responder is basic training in CPR and first aid. Their certification

allows them to drive an ambulance as the second certified EMS member as re-

quired by state law. EMT-ambulance provides basic life support skills for injuries

from car accidents, heart attacks, gunshot wounds and premature child birth. They

are also trained to use oxygen as well as assist patients with a couple of their own

medications such as Nitroglycerin and epi pens for allergic reactions. Their other

skills include safe removal of patients from accident scenes (extrication), restore

breathing (CPR), treat shock, immobilize fractures, control bleeding, bandage, as-

sist in childbirth and deliver shocks in cardiac arrest through an Automatic External

Defibrillator (AED). EMT-Paramedic performs all the basic EMT skills plus airway

management (Intubation), cricothyrotomy, needle thoracotomy. They are trained

to start intravenous lines for fluid replacement and to give specific drug therapy.

Most importantly they are trained to read a monitor strip (EKG) and to defibrillate

in cardiac arrest called Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).

Equipment used in Emergency Medical services is extensive and expensive. The

EKG Monitor/Defibrillator is anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000. The EKG machine

is the most used advanced life support pieces of diagnostic equipment. It is able to

read and print out a copy of the heart function in three different views. It also has

the capability if delivering electric shock to a heart that has stopped beating. This

capability, along with ACLS drugs and effective bystander CPR has resulted in an in-

crease in heart attack patient survival; patients are living and leaving the hospital

with no major neurological deficits. It also records blood pressure, heart rate and

pulse oximetry (blood oxygen saturation levels). The AED (Automatic External De-

fibrillator) is a newer item in the arsenal to give heart attack victims a chance at

survival. It is demonstrated and taught in most CPR classes and is installed in sev-

eral locations around the community, the clubhouse, Munds Park Community

Church, at the back door of the fire station, and in the back of the CCSO Volunteer

vehicle. They are located in a lot of cities and towns in any place where lots of peo-

ple gather. It can read what is going on with a heart and tell the operator what to

do. Directions on the lid show you how to attach the pads to the victim and attach

those to the machine. It then begins to automatically analyze what the heart is

doing and a voice tells you exactly what to do even if that is only continue CPR until

someone gets there. If the heart needs the electric shock, it will tell you to “press

shock button.” It saves lives!

Gurneys for the ambulance are so much more user-friendly and much safer than

when I first started back in 1984, but the cost is a lot more too. There are many,

many different types and styles of backboards which are used to safely remove pa-

tients from auto accidents, fall injuries, any type of accident that might compro-

mise the cervical spine. One backboard we have is called the Evac-U- Splint. When

the valve is open, which means air is inside, it is soft and pliable, and in fact it actu-

ally forms around the body. Then the air surrounding the small pellets inside is

pulled out with a pump, the splint becomes stiff “as a board.” It is much more com-

fortable for patients with back, hip or leg pain. It makes the ride to the hospital

much more bearable.

The biggest drawback to the early emergency medical service system was the lack

of any type of continuing education. Now, a heavy emphasis is placed on keeping

up your skills and keeping up with new technology and new thoughts and ideas in

the ever changing medical field. So, now there is an entire section of the EMS sys-

tem devoted to education, and it does not stop with your certification. Each EMT

level now has a requirement to do a certain number hours of continuing education.

Some of this education is in didactic and some in skills training.

Changing ideas have taken many things out of use in the pre-hospital field. Drugs

like Sodium Bicarb, Calcium Chloride and Isoproterenol have been determined not

to be of any use when given in the field and have gone out of favor. Paracardiocen-

tesis, the puncture of the sac around the heart to withdraw fluid, is no long taught

or allowed.

Specialized trainings have been cropping up over the past several years such as: Pe-

diatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) is required for ALS personnel recertification.

Children are different than adults and the therapies that work on adults do not

work on children, and dealing with a seriously injured or ill child is very, very trau-

matic for EMS personnel. With the influx of hazardous materials, a new, added cer-

tification level has been added; Haz Tox Paramedic. It too must be recertified ever

two years, Mentioned earlier, ACLS is always changing; new protocols, new drugs,

new algorithms.

Tomorrow:

The future of prehospital emergency care is looming brightly on the horizon. Some

of the “future” ideas I had mentioned years ago are already in place. But the future

still holds a great deal of expansion for the emergency medical care system. So

whether it is called primary care or mobile medics or some other name, EMS will

be covering more ground, Future paramedic may well be providing immunization

workshops for children and the elderly. They may be able to administer allergy in-

jections routinely, and many people believe that paramedics can, and should, be

doing a lot more than acute care and inter facility transport. An expanded scope of

training and skills would be a boon to rural, indigent and underserved populations.

Emergency Department overcrowding is an increasing problem that could be cor-

rected by the expanded use of paramedics. Several states have been working on

prototype programs to expand the scope of the prehospital emergency medical

system. The idea of paramedical services is not unique to the United States. China

has what is called “barefoot doctors” that are paramedics practicing in rural dis-

tricts, and the Feldsher in the USSR, once a military field surgeon, is now a para-

medic who works in the countryside.

The Prehospital Emergency Medical System is a vital part of the health care system

in this country. Utilizing paramedics in the clinical setting will help control medical

costs, help eliminate some overcrowding and make the prehospital emergency

medical service and fire service more cost efficient No matter what is ahead, Pre-

hospital Emergency Personnel will be more than ready to accept the challenge and

take on new skills.


A TIME OF THANKS

November, and Thanksgiving Day, is approaching soon. The leaves have changed

and most have fallen from the trees now. The year has gone by so fast. Faster than

normal for me. This has been a very hard year for me to get through. First I had a

hip surgery that I thought would be a cakewalk and then realized how very wrong

I was. A few months later I suffered a very traumatic experience which left me in

shock and suffering with panic attacks for several months. In our little community

it did not take long for the word to get around that I was struggling. This commu-

nity, Munds Park, Pinewood, my neighbors and friends have rallied around me

and supported me through these times. I feel so very blessed to be able to live

among some of the kindest most loving people I have ever known. The emotional,

physical, AND prayer support that I have received is the most that anyone could

ever ask for. I have even been offered financial support if needed. My heart has

been so overwhelmed with love at times that I just thought it would explode with

joy.

I want to thank each and every one of you that have been a part of my life and my

journey THE last few months and continuing into the next year. Please stop and

think what it is that you are thankful for this year. The season is upon us to RE-

MEMBER and give thanks for all the people and miracles of love in our lives.

Happy Thanksgiving

To the Editor:

Many Munds Park organizations such as the Fire Auxiliary, CERT,

Community Watch, etc. hold their meetings at the Pinewood Fire

Station. The firefighters pull their vehicles out of the large bay, put

up tables and chairs in whatever configuration is needed for the

particular meeting and later put them away and move the vehicles

back into the bay. A problem arises in the winter months when the

meetings last until dark. Although there were lights on the south

and west of the building they seldom were turned on since the

switch was upstairs and difficult to find. I asked Rick Salazar,

owner of Sunrise Electrical Contractors if he would rectify the situ-

ation and send a bill to the Pinewood Property Owners’ Assoc. I

knew the PPOA would approve this expenditure as many of the

board members attend the various meetings. Rick replaced the

existing lights with LEDs and put a switch just outside the back

door to the station. Now meeting attendees can have good light-

ing to see the way to their cars in the Fire Station and Country

Club parking lots. When I asked Rick to send a bill to the PPOA

he refused saying it would he his 2016 contribution to the organi-

zation. On behalf of the many organizations that meet in the Fire

Station, I want to say a big THANK YOU RICK!

Dick Drinen, Chairman

Pinewood Fire District Board

It is with great appreciation that the Pinewood Fire Department reports

the donation of new mattresses for the fire station from American

Furniture Warehouse. After a few Firefighter families talked about their

very reasonable prices for great furniture pieces, we contacted the

company about a possible donation and they did not hesitate.

The Pinewood Fire Department would like to ask anyone that is look-

ing for new furniture pieces, to check out American Furniture Ware-

house in Phoenix or Gilbert, and be sure and thank them for their

support of your fire department.

Thank you American Furniture Warehouse!

Certified ther-

apist Joanne

teaches us

about the an-

cient healing

practice of cup-

ping. Aware-

ness of

"Cupping Mas-

sage" has been

heightened by

the recent

Olympics in

Brazil where

high-profile

athletes like

swimmer Michael Phelps used the ther-

apy to increase physical performance.

But not many know that cupping is an

age-old treatment found in nearly al-

most all the world's ancient cultures.

Joanne asks “What could I help you

with today?” I explain that I have pain

in my left hip. She analyzes the problem

and discerns that silicone cups would be

the best method to relieve my pain. The

silicone cups were developed to work

around joints. After my cupping ther-

apy, I am escorted to a consulting table

complete with feather and Native Amer-

ican symbols. The Full Circle Treatment

is inspired by the Native teachings of

the Four Directions, and the unique ex-

perience touched the four aspects of my

being: Mind, Body, Heart and Spirit.

After the consultation that helped clear

my mind, I was asked to choose an

aroma therapy from one of four scents,

each representing one of four directions.

The aroma (to heal my spirit) was used

in the cleansing and exfoliation and tra-

ditional massage portions of the treat-

ment. The powerful and balancing

therapy also included grounding stones,

a cocoon wrap and energy work for

body and heart.

If you have been following my column

for a while, you know that I have eaten

in fine restaurants across the globe.

Well, I am here to tell you that Cucina

Rustica in the Village of Oak Creek is

easily one of my favorite restaurants in

all the world. I share this with the other

travel writers as we walk to the restau-

rant. Yes, this world-class restaurant is

located in The Collective Sedona within

walking distance of the Hilton Sedona.

Chef Lisa Dahl has created a space and

a menu that reflect the rustic Old World

setting of Tuscany, Italy. We make our

entry through tall, authentic doors, iron

gates and windows that Chef Lisa gath-

ered from across the globe to bring here

to our neighborhood. The décor was in-

spired by the mantra, “The doorway to

the imagination awaits you.” The food

and service are impeccable (as I have

come

to ex-

pect)

and

all

the

other

travel

writ-

ers

are

duly

im-

pressed. I learn that Hilton Sedona

guests can charge their Cuchina Rustica

meals to their rooms. Now THAT makes

life easy!

DAY THREE

Pink Jeep Tours picks us up from the

lobby of the Hilton at o’dark thirty. Ac-

tually it is only 7:30 a.m. but it was oh,

so, convenient to stumble down from

my room – coffee in hand – to the

awaiting chauffeur. The concierge at

Hilton Sedona made arrangements the

day before, so I didn’t have to worry

about how to get to the tour company in

Uptown Sedona, find parking once there

or stand in the dreaded line for tickets.

Just like on a cruise, tours can be

charged to your hotel room.

We bounce and laugh through spectacu-

lar red rock country on the off-road Bro-

ken Arrow Tour. Our guide, David

Hartlerode is a trained 4×4 and driving

specialist (unlike my husband Dan) and

Certified Interpretive Guide. So we hear

unusual stories about the landscape and

hoot at his sense of humor. We’re still

high on the adrenalin rush when the

Pink Jeep chauffeur drops us back at the

Hilton.

For lunch, we walk back to The Collec-

tive Sedona for a quick bite at The Vil-

lage Grind. The hip neighborhood

coffee shop/sandwich joint/wine tasting

bar alone is worth a trip to the Village of

Oak Creek. I enjoy the tasty salmon

salad while others ooh and aah over

their sandwiches on the sunny patio.

Angel 1 Limousines greets us at the

Hilton Sedona lobby and escorts us to

Oak Creek Brewery for a brewery tour

and Happy Hour. This back alley hide-

away in West Sedona is where the fa-

mous brewery got its start. When I was

single, I hung out here in the open air

patio for live music and their smooth

Nut Brown Ale. After 21 years, the

brew house has grown to include a bot-

tling facility to package their award

winning beers, including Amber,

Hefeweizen and IPA in addition to the

Nut Brown.

For a sunset dinner, I snag an outdoor

table at Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill,

Chef Lisa Dahl’s latest venture. The

architecture and décor bring the out-

doors in and the food and wine selec-

tion is simply marvelous. My

attentive server helps with my selec-

tions, and the meal could not be a

more perfect capstone to my three

perfect days in Sedona.

RECOLLECTIONS OF A COLLECTOR

By Pam Keating

I always thought collecting was a conscious decision. I thought of it as a per-

sonal effort to feature on a specific category, something an individual was in-

terested in, found engaging and worthy of time and thought. I’ve known of

friends with stamps, coins, or even salt and pepper shakers.

I don’t remember either of my parents having collections in the grand

sense. My dad had many guns, but they were for use, not show. My mother

chose no category that I know of. Not even recipes. If she had one, she held

it in secret to her death.

As a young child, I made collections of mostly natural objects I found: feath-

ers, stones, pieces of branches that were pretty. I’d put them in a special box

for special things. I didn’t keep them very long. They were just passing fan-

cies of my life.

My school age collection wasn’t Tops baseball cards. That was boy stuff. Be-

sides, I knew all the baseball players of the time anyway. Baseball was the

American sport. I was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan. I didn’t need them in a shoe-

box to trade.

Mine was a shoebox of playing cards. I traded them with girl friends. We

sorted them by their picture subjects. I had elastic bound bundles of flowers,

dogs, trees, horses, ships, trains, pastoral scenes, historic places and people.

All my girl acquaintances had similar cards. We exchanged our duplicates for

our wanna and gotta haves, filling our categories and bragging. We carried

them to school, stashed them in our desks and bartered during recess. Well,

maybe we sneaked a few trades during class time. Some were so coveted;

they were worth three or four cards in exchange. Quantity was the boast,

but there was a quality element also. It wasn’t an expensive hobby. The

cards were cheap.

Our houses had lots of well-used decks of those 52 playing cards, sometimes

plastic coated, with decorative images on the front. Families of that era

played lots of card games on rainy afternoons and cold, raw winter week-

ends. There were no video games, and TV time was heavily regulated to cer-

tain hours by family rules. Television was still suspect, maybe even

dangerous if you sat too close, definitely bad for your eye, thought to be a

time waster and of no educational value. It was just entertainment.

We learned lots of information from those pictures. Categories of things, col-

ors of plants, names of flowers, breeds of dogs and horses, important people

in our American history. They were covert teaching tools. We weren’t at all

aware of their accidental, informational messages or their life-long, lasting

effect.

Then I outgrew those stacks. Teen years changed my focus to more material

and expensive objects like clothes, magazines, vinyl 45 records, and movie

stars. I collected movie star black and white photos, joined fan clubs and

traded studio portraits of those page-boy beauties and male heart-throbs.

Those would bring a pretty penny on today’s collectible market. Oh, well.

Obviously these early collections weren’t personal statements, more a fad

thing.

The collections of early married years were a statement on life at the mo-

ment. I guess one could consider stacks of diapers, boiled baby bottles and

burping clothes a collection. Or at least an accumulation. In the homes of

friends, I’d seen porcelain cups, Hummel figurines, guys’ beer coaster or bot-

tle cap displays, even some very expensive Russian eggs. These were inter-

esting, but not my kind of thing

When finally outgrowing childrearing, and even being a wife, I had my own

personal space again. I met a dear friend of my mother’s, Anna, who had an

extensive owl collection. I was amazed at how many renderings there were

of those birds of prey.

I identify with owls and owl lore. They are in fables, mythology, and gothic

tales, personified and honored as wisdom symbols. In real life, they are ca-

pable creatures of the night. And they keep the rodent population down.

These statues were rendered in all sorts of materials: wood, clay, glass, plas-

tic, brass, and every other metal. They came in all sizes, all depictions of

“owl.” On Anna’s passing, I was allowed to select one as a remembrance.

Very thoughtful. It was the beginning of my own owl collection. This time by

my own choice.

I made a vow to not search for pieces, but wait for them to come and find

me. I also vowed to have them be not expensive, under a dollar. I would try

not to get duplicates, but go for the unusual. Not something I would worry

about breaking or losing. I’ve stuck to these guidelines well. I did pay a lot

for a ten-inch, owl woman created by a new age artist woman out of tapes-

try scraps, brocade strands, feathers and a fanciful face. I had to have her. I

do care about her fragility.

When I met my husband, Dave, he was likewise finished with maintaining

others. He had casually collected baseball caps with logos. That grouping

kept growing. The hats hung all over his house, and then all over our house.

He covered the walls of our two-car garage, even strung cords wall to wall

and wired hats up in the air. Whenever we held a garage sale, all the male

shoppers wanted to buy the hats. Now that he’s outgrown that stash, he

wishes he’d agreed. He’s given most of them away to anyone who expressed

any interest in any chapeau. He’s moved on to his new passion.

Bobble heads.

The Phoenix Suns are the culprits in beginning this current, space saving,

passion. Between our north and south homes, he must have five hundred.

They’re not perfect, in the box investments. They’re just entertaining images

of people, animals and cartoon characters of our culture. He has them in a

semblance of order in book cases and shelves. There’s no spare wall space.

Most of them are smiling. Some of them came already damaged, but who’s

looking?

He has Al McCoy who says three phrases, among them “Shazaam!” There’s

a Donald, hair and all, who iterates, “You’re fired!” while pointing a finger.

The Jesus Christ doesn’t talk, just shakes his head. You can’t tell if he’s mak-

ing a judgment, saying “yes” or “no” though. Dave even has images of him

and me. They were offered on a cruise as a souvenier. Those two are by far

the priciest of the pack.

He has another political figure, a woman, blonde hair, dressed in a painted

blue, poly suit, arms crossed, and with a pleasant face. It’s a definite Hilary

look-alike. She stands, but she’s not a true Bobble. But her body does move.

There’s a hinge at the top of her head, and her action is to do the split. As

she does, you realize her legs are a nut cracker. Don’ cha think that’s going to

be a much touted possession come fall?

All these Bobbles are proof that if it can be imagined, it will be made. Com-

pared to the hats, they take up far less space. I will often find Dave standing

in either of our den-computer rooms, contemplating those statues and smil-

ing (and also trying to find room for just one more shelf). They’re much

more enjoyable than hats, or some other items I’ve found in number around

our house. Is that a collection budding: reader eyeglasses from the dollar

store, or radio antennae to repair our reception, or small bottles of eye

drops, or packets of plastic toothpicks?

Bobble heads are plain fun. Especially in the cabin when the washing ma-

chine goes into the spin cycle and they all nod en masse. We’ll give tours. I

wash clothes fairly often.

Solves 22-Year-Old Missing Persons Case

Flagstaff, AZ – The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Unit has

solved the missing persons case of Brian Nez. Nez, a 19-year-old Native

American male from Flagstaff, had been reported missing by his family on Oc-

tober 25, 1994.

The information from the initial investigation found that Nez was believed to

have last been seen at a party in Winslow, AZ in August or September of 1994.

The case went cold after several people were interviewed and no information

developed as to his whereabouts. Nez was entered as missing in the national

computer database used by law enforcement.

In Spring 2015, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Cold Case Unit brought on vol-

unteer Jana White, retired from NAU Police and Flagstaff Police Departments,

to review unsolved missing person cases. Nez’s case was re-opened in March

2016. Investigator Jana White entered Nez into a new database called NamUS

(http://namus.gov/about.htm), a website that has developed largely over the

last ten years to improve information sharing on missing and unidentified per-

sons throughout the United States. NamUS responded with information that an

unidentified victim of a fatal vehicle-pedestrian traffic accident had a similar

description to our missing person case. The vehicle-pedestrian accident had oc-

curred in Navajo County about 2 miles north of Winslow, AZ in August 1994.

Based on this, further investigation by the Cold Case Unit found that the Co-

conino County Medical Examiner’s Office had performed the autopsy on the

unidentified pedestrian victim for Navajo County.

Cold Case Investigators from Coconino County Sheriff’s Office, which had

taken the report of the missing person, and the Arizona Department of Public

Safety, which had taken the report of the fatal vehicle-pedestrian traffic acci-

dent, met and compared information from the two separate investigations.

Both investigators believed that the unidentified pedestrian who died in the ac-

cident could be Nez.

Nez had been fingerprinted as a seven-year-old child under a nationwide pro-

gram called Operation Child ID. His mother had kept the fingerprint card and

had given it to the Sheriff’s Detective who worked the original case. Cold

Case Investigators submitted the print card to the Department of Public Safety

Crime Lab for comparison with fingerprints of the accident victim. A positive

identification was made matching the fingerprint card of the Brian Nez taken

during Operation Child ID with the victim of the fatal traffic accident.

“While this is a sad outcome for the family to know that their loved one is de-

ceased, they are able to bring their loved one to rest,” said Chief Deputy Jim

Driscoll. Driscoll went on to say, “The new technologies that have developed

over time in terms of fingerprint analyses and data sharing have given us tools

to re-analyze these cold cases, and we are dedicated to continuing to solve as

many as we can.”

The fatal traffic accident investigation will remain with the Department of

Public Safety. The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office is grateful to the family,

Jana White and our Cold Case Unit investigators, and all of the agencies who

have worked together to solve this case.

Single Senior cont’dHe pronounced library “libery” and had nothing academic in his office. He hadsome relics of the high school’s history and many photos of students he’dcoached. He said one day they heard a crash in the supply room and found ashelf had fallen. They discovered Miss Hill’s files. She was the principal duringmy tenure at Teaneck High. He said he read through the discipline files andshared them with his faculty after he redacted the names. That’s the premiseof the full length play I wrote and plan on revising after this trip!

Student “ambassadors” conducted the tours. They were sweet and lookedat us blankly when we asked about violence and gangs. They said thereweren’t any in the school. The inside of the school was bright and cheerfulwith many photos of students on the walls. I’m sure the lockers have been re-placed at least once in the last fifty years. The school is huge and the currentstudents reported that they, too, had to run to make it in five minutes to their

next class. They pointed out the gender-neutral bath-rooms like it wasn’t any big deal.

After the tour, I went to Bishoff’s with two of my ele-mentary school friends, David Hawxwell and DannyDavis. We rehashed the old days and shared our lifestories. We all went into education, so we told manyfunny stories. I’m so glad to see my old friends happilyretired. The small ice cream sundae was too large forme and the homemade double chocolate ice creamtasted okay but not stupendous.

I went back to the hotel and dressed for the dinnerdance. Since the dress I’d chosen was very low-cut, I

wore a scarf that covered my cleavage. I walked around in the new patentleather low heels I’d bought for $14 at Last Chance. They seemed okay. (Itook them off after only an hour and my feet were screaming at me and threat-ening to sue for pain and suffering.)At the check-in desk, I got a packet with a direcyory of my classmates and aname tag with my high school photo. I was nervous so I bought two drink tick-ets for drinks. I got a glass of red wine and immediately lost the other ticket.

I did see people with whom I had strong bonds in school. I wondered whywe didn’t stay in touch. I guess we all went on with the next stage of life, col-lege, and didn’t look back.And I apologized to one of my classmates for writing something snarky in heryearbook. She truly didn’t remember it, for which I’m grateful. Except I’m sureshe’ll look it up as soon as she finds her yearbook.

One of my elementary school buddies, Stanley Leibowitz, is a roller skatingdancer. He and his wife complete nationally and internationally. I was amazedbecause the last time I donned roller skates was in 2979 and I fell backwardson my driveway and knocked myself out.

There was a preponderance of lawyers. And most people had stayed in thenortheast, many in New Jersey, although there was a large contingent fromFlorida.

There was a board of names of those classmates who had died. The direc-tory listed about sixty but the board had about eighty.

I was ecstatic to see my friend Andy Kosloff. He and I were buddiesthroughout high school. We’d seen each other a few times during our fresh-man and sophomore years of college, but didn’t after that. He couldn’t explainit and neither could I. He said he had college roommates who lived in NewYork and he got together with them over the summers. I remembered that Iwasn’t even in Teaneck after I finished my sophomore year because I wait-ressed out in the Hamptons. Although most of the people at the looked ap-propriately older, Andy didn’t. It made me wonder if there was a portrait of himsomewhere that was aging. I waxed nostalgic on the days when I had manymale friends. In high school and in college. Somehow after that, I never devel-oped anymore and I didn’t hang on to the ones I had.

At dinner, I sat with Ellen Einhorn and heard a bit about her life with the cir-cus, but I regret that we didn’t have an in-depth talk.

There was a professional photographer but I didn’t get my picture takenuntil a group of Bryant School posed.

There was great sixties’ music played by the DJ but I was too busy talkingto dance. The food was quite good and the desserts to die for.

I was surprised at how many people who lived in the area did not chose toattend. Does this mean only the people who have had good lives came andthat skewed my experience?

I went back to my room to ponder whether the experience was worth themore than one thousand dollars to make it happen. For one thing, it will beeasier to rewrite my play. And these past few days makes me more hopefulabout the future as I age.

Birds of Munds Park #83Birding in Zion and Bryce Canyons

by Margaret Dyekman

We took a sightseeing/hiking trip to Zion

and Bryce National Parks in Utah in mid-

October. It started out a little rocky.

With best intentions we chose a hotel in

St. George, Utah, for the first three nights

because we couldn’t find any rooms

closer to Zion when we planned the trip

in mid-summer. I got concerned when we

came to a fork in the road that said Zion

to the right, and St. George to the left. It

then took over a half hour through all of

St. George to get to the hotel, which was

on an elevated ridge with airport con-

struction immediately behind the hotel

and no other place to even walk to. I’m

not fond of staying in hotels anyway, so

this was really unacceptable. We knew it

would take

at least an

hour to

drive to

Zion Na-

tional Park

from that

location.

We hauled our luggage to the room and

thought about our options. Called the

Holiday Inn Express only a mile from the

entrance at Zion National Park and were

told that there was one room available for

the three nights we wanted. We booked

the room. Then called the hotel we were

in and said we were sorry but the location

was wrong and we had no idea there was

massive airport construction going on be-

hind us, so we would pay for one night

and then boogie out of there. The hotel

staff was apologetic and we didn’t have to

pay for all three nights, just one. We used

the hotel room’s bathroom, washed our

hands, hauled our luggage back down,

and drove to the town of Springdale,

which holds the entrance to Zion National

Park. This hotel was perfect – just a

block away was one of the town shuttle

stops that took us right into the Park en-

trance, at no cost. The shuttle came by

every 10-15 minutes.

When you visit Zion, and if you take the

Zion Canyon Shuttle (which you can eas-

ily walk to after exiting the Springdale

shuttle), you get a narrated 40-minute

tour to all the lookout and hiking spots.

Most of the time you are at the bottom of

the Canyon, at ground level looking up.

We spent one and one-half days at Zion,

stopping at look-out points, then taking

short (one-to-two miles) hikes from those

points, going back to the hotel to break

for a couple of hours, then going back for

into the Park by car later in the afternoon

because by then the parking was easier.

There were not a lot of birds around.

However, the first one I did see was a

Wild Turkey. Lots of Common Ravens

were in the area. Did not see a Peregrine

Falcon or a California Condor. Did see

Mule Deer, Big Horn Sheep, Squirrels,

and Chipmunks. Near the hotel I saw a

Northern Flicker, Mourning Doves and,

unfortunately, House Sparrows. It seems

these non-native sparrows are everywhere

there are people. On our hike to Emerald

Pool a bird below us flew out from a

crevice and all I could see from above

were its dark rusty-brown wings. I have

no idea what it was.

The second full day we were at Zion we

took a 20 mile trip on the Kolob Terrace

Road to Lava Point, then to the Kolob

Reservoir, every mile through amazing

country. The aspens were yellow, oaks

were red, the weather was the kind of fall

day you dream of – sunny sky, slight

breeze. And to top it off, I found a life

bird – a Mountain Bluebird! We were

driving down the road to Lava Point, and

on the right was part of Zion National

Park, on the left

private property

with cattle. The

Mountain Blue-

birds were on the

fence posts. They

are almost all blue,

with just some

light gray on their

bellies. Also saw a female Lesser

Goldfinch eating seeds from a dormant

roadside plant. I proved again that bird-

ing by car is possible – you just have to

have a co-driver, in this case my husband,

who is willing to slam on the brakes on a

dirt road every time you yell “wait, stop

now!!!” when you sight a bird you want

to check out.

Springdale is a cute little town with ex-

cellent shuttle service and a very nice

choice of restaurants and outdoor recre-

ation shopping. We each bought a new

pair of hiking boots. My old pair was

probably 15+ years old, and what a

difference the new ones made!

Clark’s Nutcracker

Mountain Bluebird

Next we went on to Bryce National

Park, about a two hour ride away. Saw

lots of Common Ravens on the way.

Being fall, Bryce was much less

crowded than in the summertime, and

we were easily able to drive into the

park with only a handful of cars in front

of us waiting to check in at the Ranger

Station. We took the entire canyon

drive – stopping at each lookout point

and continuing to be amazed at the

scenery. This park reminded me of the

Grand Canyon in terms of access – you

were always at the “top” looking down.

Many of the rock structures are called

hoodoos and just take your breath away.

My best birding hike was the last day

from about 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. I went out

on my own to the Fairyland Trail access

point but took the Rim Trail this time.

Bird species I saw: Western Bluebird,

Pygmy Nuthatch, Common Raven, fe-

male Ladderback Woodpecker, Red-

Tailed Hawk, Townsend’s Solitaire, and

Clark’s Nutcracker. The last two were

very special – the Townsend’s Solitaire

I only saw once previoulsy on a hike off

of Schnebly Hill, and the Clark’s Nut-

cracker I found at the Grand Canyon

several years ago. On the drive home

through southern Utah, I spotted Black-

Billed Magpies.

The weather was perfect for this trip

and it was very doable in five days, in-

cluding the trip to and from. My birding

was low-key, and given that it was fall,

many birds you would see in the spring

or summer had already begun their mi-

gration journey. However, I am always

going to remember on this trip that I

saw Mountain Bluebirds for the first

time ever. The other thing that im-

pressed me were the visitors of all ages,

physical abilities, and nationalities –

sight-seers, hikers, bikers, campers –

who all have a love of nature in com-

mon and who were quiet, polite, and

adventurous. I was also uplifted think-

ing of all the government workers who

do so much to keep our parks protected

and accessible for all citizens. America

is already great – let’s just make sure

we invest in it to improve on all that we

have accomplished thus far.

MUNDS PARK COMMUNITY CHURCH UPDATE

by Mike Simswww.mundsparkcc.org

Quiet

Can you hear it? The silence descend-

ing on Munds Park is wonderful. I

love this time of year with the fall col-

ors having come and gone. Now I can

watch the squirrels and other wild life

prepare for the winter. We are cer-

tainly blessed with an abundance of

critters and beautiful birds.

It's time to gather wood, finish the

deck repairs and make sure our snow

removal equipment is operational,

even if it is a shovel! We all are in the

process of cleaning gutters and pine

needles from around our homes. Pine

needles are like taxes; they come

whether you are ready for them or not!

Instead of focusing on chores and

more chores to complete before winter,

I've tried to focus on the blessings of

living in such a wonderful place. Now

when I am outside, I focus on the

beautiful weather and the great friends

I have in this community.

The Oktoberfest was a smashing suc-

cess. We had approximately 115 peo-

ple from the community attend. Many

folk commented that they had a great

time. Thanks go to everyone who

helped organize the event.

As we celebrate fall and look forward

to the coming holiday season, let us re-

flect on the blessing Christ has pro-

vided each of us. Let us give thanks

for what we have and who we have be-

side us.

May you and your families have a

blessed Thanksgiving. Travel safely

and remember our heavenly Father

watches over and protects us.

With Christ, all things are possible.

We read in Luke 17:6 (NIV), “And the

Lord said, "If you had faith like a mus-

tard seed, you would say to this mul-

berry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted

in the sea'; and it would obey you.”
