Caring Corner Sandy Collard, Caring Corner Chairman

Illness: Marie Valburg PV If you should hear of someone who has passed away or is ill, please email [email protected] or call or text Sandy Collard at 480 227-7271. Thank you. I’m worried that Sandy is not being notified of MBV Illnesses and Memorials. Please pass this information on to her if you hear of anyone that needs our thoughts and prayers (see email and phone number above). After confirming the information, Sandy noti-fies the Mountaineer and Website and sends cards of get well or condolences from MBV. Thank you for your help, Diana Jensen, Editor

Come Dance With Us by Lynnel Cochrane

When Martha and the Vandella's in 1965 sang:

"Calling out, around the world Are you ready for a brand-new beat? Summer's here and the time is right For dancing in the street."

they probably were not referring to MBV where any out-side dancing has been poolside!

The dance committee, our co-chairs Debbie and Lynn and our Lifestyle Director Jennifer have continued to work behind the scenes to confirm a 'sizzling' line up of bands for the coming season. By special request, returning bands will include: That Cool Band, Eric the Entertainer, Imag-ine Band, and Outside the Line. In addition, making their first appearance at MBV we will welcome Come Back Buddy and Cactus Wine. Until the fall season gets under-way, we hope that wherever you may be 'dancing' this summer, you are having a great time.

Help AZ be Number One !

An interesting article appeared in the AZ Republic on

June 24 regarding a study on hot dog consumption. Ac-

cording to the study, Arizonans consume an estimated

279 hot dogs per person annually. Wow, that is a lot of

trips to Costco to grab the screaming deal of $1.50 for a

hot dog and a beverage. Someone else is picking up the

slack for me because you can count on both hands how

many hot dogs I eat in a year.

The article goes on to report that AZ is tied for 4th

place in hot dog consumption along with North

Carolina, South Carolina and Rhode Island. Rhode

Island kind of made me scratch my head. How many peo-

ple live in Rhode Island? Is that the only thing they eat?

Now for the moment you have been waiting for. Which

states beat out Arizona in hot dog consumption? The #1

position goes to West Virginia. Really? The word is that

West Virginians scarf down 481 hot dogs per capita.

Think about this; 365 days in the year, 481 hot dogs. An-

other wow. Then we move on to the #2 place which goes

to Illinois who I thought would be number one. I suspect

any Chicagoan is aghast to learn Illinois is number two,

eating ‘only’ 317 per person. Something is wrong here, it

seems that there are hot dog stands everywhere in Chica-

go, Portillo’s reigns supreme through the suburbs. They

have even opened a few Portillo’s here in AZ. When I

worked in downtown Chicago a favorite lunch spot was

Gold Coast Hot Dogs. Stand along the counter to place

you order, if anyone ordered catsup on the hot dog the

entire staff was on alert and the patron was verbally

abused. Loudly! True Chicagoans do not eat catsup on

hot dogs. Or so Gold Coast Hot Dogs wanted you to

think.

Drum roll please for #3: Pennsylvania with 289 hot dogs.

I just don’t have much to say about this except if some-

one from AZ would have eaten 11 more dogs Pennsylva-

nia would have been sitting with the likes of the Caroli-

nas and good old Rhode Island.

The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council estimate 150

million hot dogs are consumed on Fourth of July alone. It

just so happens that July is National Hot Dog Month with

National Hot Dog Day falling on July 17 in 2019. Mark

that date on your calendar.

So, here in MountainBrook we had some great practice eating hot dogs at the June 21 summer party. They were

delicious and it was a great time. Don’t let the momen-tum die down, do your part to get AZ out of fourth place! Maybe we can talk Jennifer into another hot dog extrava-

ganza before the cooler weather hits. I myself am considering a trip to Portillo’s in Tempe for National Hot Dog Day! Anyone else???

Mountaineer July 2019

Board Highlights Submitted by Janet Christopherson

We had a successful Board of Directors meeting in June. A policy and six charters governing the steering commit-tees were approved along with a change to the storage policy. Two benches for the bocce ball area were ap-proved and will be ordered now that the rock, concrete and granite work at the courts have been completed. Two additional microphones to be used in the Sunset Center were added to the list of four already quoted and were approved. Combining all six microphones into one order resulted in a 5% savings on all six.

The board approved a contract with Duncan Coor LTD to provide Project Management oversight to the remodeling in the back of the Superstition Center. The Project Man-ager is tasked to submit the remodeling plans to the coun-ty, solicit three bids from contractors, evaluate those bids for board approval and oversee the project itself.

Two significant Buildings and Grounds recommendations were approved. The first is to hire Andes Engineering to evaluate and make recommendations for a long-term so-lution to the erosion in the Wildcat area and its impacts on the Wildcat Pond. A hydrologist will perform model-ing of water flow and perform field investigations of cul-vert performance. The second recommendation is to hire an irrigation company (Tree Theory) to develop irrigation recommendations and drawings to restore irrigation on MountainBrook Drive. Once approved, the specifications will be sent out for bids allowing the board to eventually decide whether or not to proceed.

The Planning Committee has completed its extensive re-view of our component list and has made several recom-mendations with regard to moving items ahead or behind their planned replacement date. The board will review these recommendations at the next strategic planning ses-sion.

Two recommendations from Budget and Finance were approved. The first was to move the $73,815 underrun against the 2018 operating budget into General Reserves. The second was to move the principle amount of $240K from an expiring CD into another CD at a minimal rate of 2.3%, depositing the earned interest of $4,306.29 into our Reserve Money Market Account.

Two projects were assigned this last month. The first was to the Planning Committee to benchmark with other simi-lar communities and gather ideas and recommendations with regards to amenities, etc. The second was to the Communications Committee to perform an inventory of audio-visual equipment and capabilities in each of the campus buildings.

Mountain Brook Village Golf Course Update

Submitted by Janet Christopherson

Several of us from the village met with Ryan Thompson, owner of the Mountain Brook Golf Course. Attending the meeting were Interim Manager Kirk Kowieski and new Manager Liam Jordache from FirstService, Peter Cavoto and myself from the village and Ryan and his full-time golf course manager, Mark. It was a very good meeting. Ryan explained that for the past year they have been working to get the course back into shape starting with the greens and then working their way out. They are cur-rently working on the sand traps and the fairways. Ryan talked about the restaurant saying, “There are no plans to expand due to the smallness of the kitchen and they will always have a fairly limited menu.” He is focusing on service and quality of the food.

We discussed the process whereby homeowners in the village can request landscaping maintenance in areas that are the responsibility of the golf course. That process is in place, although Ryan requested a meeting to clarify the areas that are MBV’s responsibility and the golf course’s responsibility

Ryan offered to inform us if there were any significance issues with the course such as closures, re-seeding or ma-jor work. That will allow us to inform our residents ahead of time.

We reaffirmed our desire for him to be successful in turn-ing around the course. We have many residents who play golf at this course and, just as important, MBV property values are impacted by the condition of the course.

At the end of the meeting, Mark and Liam exchanged business cards, shook hands, and agreed to stay in touch on a regular basis.

Mountaineer July 2019

Hello from the MBV Ceramics and Glass Arts Group. We are honored to be featured as Artist of the Month and happy to share our work for your enjoyment. The MBV Ceramics and Glass Art Group takes items which have been poured into molds using clay slip. To our joy, that becomes an endless variety of vases, dishes, utility items, yard art, and figures. The ceramist uses many different techniques to enhance the item. Any design can be built using free hand designs, traced patterns, stencils, decals, etc. There are solid colors of glazes, cascading glazes, a glaze that crackles, and glazes with exploding crystals. Glazes may be mixed with sand, soap to create a "bubble" look, shaving cream to create a marbled effect and even

peanut butter. Items can also be finished with acrylic paints, antique media, chalk, paper, or combinations of the preceding. We also dabble in Raku which creates gor-geous coppery fire like finishes.

The artwork you see in the MBV Library has been created by several members of the MBV Ceramics and Glass Art Group. We have tried to show as many different tech-niques as possible. If you are interested, we welcome you to join us to learn and create your own artwork. (Please refer to the MBV Ceramics and Glass Arts section un-der the Classes, Groups and Clubs in the Mountaineer, either in the hard copy or on the website at mbvaz.org for class schedules.) Please enjoy viewing our display in the MBV Library during June and July.

In the Territory.......

Submitted by Mike Karr Chances are you know at least 3 or 4 couples from Moun-tainBrook Village that spend their summers in Show Low, AZ, where it averages 25 degrees cooler than in Gold Canyon. It's only two and a half hours away via the Salt River Canyon, and with the tall pines, over 50 lakes and an elevation of 6,345 feet, this mountain town of nearly 15,000 residents makes a great destination for a week, month or the entire summer to escape the summer heat and enjoy the mountains.

Ever wonder how Show Low got its name? Legend has it that two local tycoons had been playing cards and sipping home brew all day, when Marion Clark declared that the town wasn't big enough for both of them and that if C. E. Cooley could “Show Low” in a cut of the cards, Clark would leave the area. And if Clark's cut of the cards was lower, then Cooley would leave. Oh yes, there were ap-parently 100,000 acres of land with disputed ownership that were also included in the pot. Cooley won with the deuce of clubs which is now the name of the main street in Show Low. And now you know.

What is frequently said about MountainBrook Village, can also be said about Show Low when it comes to activi-ties and things to do. “If you get bored, it's your own fault”, as there are a nearly limitless number of festivals, fun restaurants and activities available. Over 50 fishing lakes, 7 golf courses with Bison Golf apparently the fa-vorite for most MBV golfers with a superb Buffalo Bill's restaurant on-site, 180 miles of hiking trails in the White Mountain Trail System, Sunrise Park Resort is 36 miles away and is a ski resort with 65 runs during the winter and mountain biking, zip lines, kayaking, horseback riding, tubing slide and an air bag jump during the summer. The Hon Dah Casino is nearby also. For the nature lovers, you'll find plenty of activities and animals at the White Mountain Wildlife & Nature Center in nearby Pinetop-Lakeside.

Show Low........a great little mountain town not too far away where you can enjoy a cooler style of living during the summer months.

After carpooling to Tempe, through much construction, we made it to enjoy this wonderful exhibit. Most everyone followed up this experience with a great lunch just a few blocks away at the House of Tricks.

Report litter on state highways with a simple call: Dial 511

Arizona Traveler Information line now takes litter reports

June 19, 2019 PHOENIX – Reporting drivers who toss trash out of their vehicles isn’t literally as easy as 1-2-3, but ADOT has made it nearly as simple by allowing drivers to quickly make a report by dialing another simple number: 511.

The letter also informs drivers of the high price of litter, as it costs more than $4 million a year to remove trash from Arizona high-ways. Plus, roadside trash leaves residents and visitors with a poor impression of Arizona.

The 511 option for reporting litter is one of several ways ADOT allows drivers to report drivers who litter as part of the Adopt A Highway program. The existing Litter Hotline takes reports online at Litter.AZ.gov or at 877-3LITTER (877) 354-8837.

Learn more about the litter hotline at LitterAZ.gov. or Adopt a Highway at azdot.gov/AdoptaHighway.

News Releases

That’s the number to ADOT’s recently enhanced Arizona Traveler In-formation line, which now features an option to report litterbugs on state highways. Once drivers call 511, they can select the second option for the litter hotline. Callers are then asked to provide a license plate number, type of litter, location and time of day. ADOT uses the information to send a letter to the vehicle’s registered owner to remind the person that littering is illegal and can result in a $500 fine when witnessed by law enforcement. ADOT’s letter includes a small litterbag to place inside the car for fu-ture use and a "Thank you" for helping us “Keep Arizona Grand”, ADOT's litter program motto. ADOT issued more than 1,300 of those letters in the past year.

Tennis Talk (Year Around) by Betsy Baker

What a delightful tennis season we had with Men’s, Women’s and Mixed Doubles. This summer we will continue with round robin play Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8am. Time will roll back to 7am as it heats up. A Big Thank You to Sally Lick-ar for hosting an enjoyable luncheon for the tennis gals, with 37 tennis players in attendance ! A good time was had by all ! Looking forward to a delightful summer filled with lots of ten-nis. See YOU on the courts.

Pickleball News (Year Around) by Elisa Howard

Our hot summer continues, and we need to take special care when playing any sport during this heat. Here are some tips that may help. Let’s start at the top. Wearing a hat or visor will pro-vide some shading from the sun, but sunscreen is still a “must”. Well-made sunglasses are essential because they not only pro-tect your eyes from damaging UV rays, but also provide some protection if there is an errant ball to the face. To keep your body temperature down a bit, wear a soaked cooling towel on your neck, and – between matches – rest your wrists on an ice-pack. And for foot comfort on hot courts, consider bringing an extra pair of socks to change into after an hour or so. We’re very fortunate that our summer schedule allows Open Play to start at 6 AM, which allows a few hours before the day gets overly warm. Come enjoy our newly painted courts!

Knitting (Year Around) Welcome to knitting! We are a group that meets every Tuesday at 10am in the Mesquite Room. We welcome all levels of knit-ters and even people who think they might like to learn how to knit. We offer help in understanding patterns and learning new stitches. Feel free to join us any Tuesday morning, meet our knitters, and decide if the Knitting Group appeals to you. If you have any questions, please call Judi at 314-435-1552.

Book Discussion by Peggy Malsom

Two down and three to go. So far I have read Born a Crime and Beartown. The first a coming-of-age story set in South Africa during apartheid and the second about a small town with a big heart. I loved them both. It looks like the 2019-2020 Book Dis-cussion season will be fantastic. We are furnishing the list now as we know some of you like to start reading over the summer.

• Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

• Beartown by Fredrik Backman

• The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

• The First Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer

• Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

Book Discussion runs November through March. The books are listed in the order they will be reviewed. If any changes are nec-essary, I’ll let you know ASAP. Books and Bubbly was well received and will be continued next season. Happy reading. Oh, and don’t neglect the bubbly this summer.

MBV Ceramics and Glass Arts (Year Around) New and interesting Glass and Ceramics projects continue to be in the Fired Arts Studio. Sign-up sheets with pictures of the pro-jects are available in the office. Be sure to look for the tab la-beled “Ceramics” in the binder labeled “Classes” to sign up. Classes are limited to 12 unless otherwise noted. The Tuesday/Thursday schedule is as follows: Tuesday afternoons are re-served for Ceramics with instructors available; Thursday morn-ings the studio is open to all techniques unless a class is sched-uled; Thursday afternoons are open to all techniques. During the Winter Season, Tuesday mornings are reserved for Bottle Slumping and Glass Fusion.

MBV Pottery Club (Year Around) Check out the lighted windows of the Fired Arts Center on the way to the pool or fitness facility. All of the displayed art has been made by your friends and neighbors. Our club’s mission is to promote and support MBV residents in the pursuit of artistic expression in the art and craft of pottery. Volunteer instructors conduct half-day introductory, intermediate and advanced clas-ses, in an open, welcoming environment. Pottery Club hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Stop by and take a tour of the studio to see if pottery is something you would like to try. Our class schedule will be released November 1 and class sign-ups will begin on December 1, either in person or by email. Annual membership in the club is $40 and classes are $20.

Supper Club (Year Around) Ruth Parker

Sadly, sadly, I missed the last 2 Supper Club dinners. I'm talk-in' brisket and pork chops-two of my favorites. With Ice Cream Cake and Million Dollar Dip. But since I'm a full timer I can look forward to Parmesan Chicken, Glazed Carrots, Deviled Eggs, Mousse, Enchiladas (not all at the same time) among other nummy things over the summer. Yep, even though a lot of our members head elsewhere for the summer months, those of us left just keep on cookin' and eating. So, if you haven't joined Super (that's not a typo) Club summer is good time to do it. "Laughter is brightest in the place where the food is." Irish Proverb.

Social Hour (Year Around) Every Tuesday night year ‘round, there’s a long standing, very popular, free MountainBrook event in the Superstition Center. Residents gather at 5:00 PM to enjoy an evening out with old and new friends. The LAST Tuesday of the month is a POT-LUCK which is meant to be a full meal. The fare on “regular” Tuesdays could be classified as snacks/appetizers or desserts. As always BYOB. Tableware provided. The Chairperson maintains a schedule of weekly volunteers to ‘Host’ the Social Hour. These volunteers set up the food tables, organize the food as it arrives, make the welcome announcements with a little clean up afterwards. Don’t be afraid. There are usually others who join in helping. Please consider joining the group on a Tuesday night; singles and couples are welcome. We try to keep an eye out for new faces and welcome them to join a table of ‘veterans’.

Whine and Cheese for the Ladies (Year Around) Meets every Monday at 4:00pm for the ladies, in the Supersti-tion Center. Just bring $1.00, your beverage of choice and sit and enjoy the cheese and crackers that are there to enjoy. Call Nancy Bilensky @ 480-982-3686

MBV Veterans Group (Year Around)

Are you a military veteran? Did you know we have an informal group of veterans here in MountainBrook that meets in the Mesquite Room every 3rd Monday of the month at 1600 hours. Presently our meetings are suspended for the summer months, but we will resume our meetings in September. Our main goal is to put out information to the veteran with regards to getting their VA benefits, a rating or a rating increase. We stress that getting registered in the VA system is the most important thing a veteran can do. Once registered the options available to you within the VA are endless. If you’re interested in having a little social time with other veterans, hearing more about your VA benefits and where to go for help why not try one of our meet-ings. If you’d like more information about the group and what we do call Dennis Malsom, 425-315-6035.

Helping Hands (Year Around) by Loretta Milton

We are a group of volunteers who live in MBV and help our residents on a temporary basis. We have been assisting with medical transportation, grocery shopping and caregiver support for many years. We also have a list of medical equipment and child care equipment for loan. There is a card holder in the office with resident’s names and numbers for you to contact. If you would like additional information, please call Loretta Mil-ton and leave a message at 480-474-9958.

MBV Democrats (Year Around)

MountainBrook Democrats meet the fourth Saturday of each month in the Ocotillo Room from 10-12. We would love to

have like-minded Independents join us as well.

Fairway Vistas HOA by Verna Aure, President

At this time, painting of the first 20 units is completed. Home-owners are quite pleased at the results. It is anticipated that the project will be completed at the end of May or early June. Thanks to the Paint Committee for a job well done. We have secured the services of Innovative Property Management (IPM) and are looking forward to working with them. Monthly meet-ings will resume in the fall. Enjoy your summer!
