MY MOTHER’S GARDEN

My mother kept a garden,

a garden of the heart,

She planted all the good things

that gave my life its start.

She turned me to the sunshine

and encouraged me to dream,

tenderly nurturing

the seeds of self-esteem . . .

And when the winds and rain came,

she protected me enough-

but not too much, because she

knew

I needed to stand strong and tough.

(watch for fliers)

Her constant good example

always taught me right from wrong-

markers for my pathway

that will last a lifetime long.

I am my Mother's garden.

I am her legacy-

Her garden is still blooming,

as long as there is me

My stems and petals reaching high

quietly in the breeze

Today, I hope she feels the love,

reflected back from me.

MEET THE HCC TREASURER

KYLA JACKSON

Kyla comes by her job as treasurer hon-

estly—before she retired, she did the

books for several different companies

including a family business. “I like

working with numbers,” Kyla says, “but

strangely enough, I hate math.”

Kyla’s husband, Jerry, was also in the

finance business. The couple hails from

Iowa where they were high school

sweethearts. Jerry, two years her sen-

ior, went to college while he waited for

her to finish high school. After their

marriage, Kyla took an accounting

course that started her accounting ca-

reer and eventually led to her being our

treasurer.

The couple have three children and four

grandsons. A son and daughter are in

Arizona and a son is still in Iowa. When

Kyla and Jerry first retired, they lived in

Iowa and visited Arizona. Then, seven

years ago, their daughter in Chandler

said, “You are here so much, why don’t

you just move to Arizona?” And so they

put their house up for sale, with the

idea that if it sold, they’d move. It sold

in one week and so they were commit-

ted. Kyla says they chose our park

because they liked the gated community

and the houses that were ground level.

Kyla and Jerry celebrated their fiftieth

wedding anniversary last fall by travel-

ing to Hawaii. They have traveled a lot.

For a while, Jerry had a job delivering

RVs from Iowa to other places across

the US and Kyla rode along. “We saw a

lot of country! Once,” Kyla says with a

laugh, “Jerry got a job delivering a ce-

ment mixer to Florida. I guess that was

the oddest trip we ever took.”

Kyla and Jerry are here year round.

Connie Nug, a family friend of 35 years,

becomes a member of their household

every winter. Connie and the Jacksons

have been friends, co-workers and

neighbors for over 35 years. “Connie is

the creative one,” Kyla says, as she sits

at Connie’s table at our recent Craft

Show, selling her knitted items, from

Barbie doll clothes to scarves for adults.

“I’m the supervisor. I do that well.”

Jerry plays golf but until Kyla became

treasurer, she kept a low profile, show-

ing up for chair exercises and water

aerobics but little else. Now that we’ve

met you, Kyla, we hope you will join us

in more activities!

MAY-JUNE 2009 HCC NEWSHCC NEWS HCC BUSINESS

Board Officers. With President Millard

Copas resigning for personal reasons

and Vice-President Phil Henault resign-

ing for medical reasons, we are left

without a president. To fill this gap,

Dan Hargreaves offered to chair the

April and October Board meetings and

the four people listed below have volun-

teered to be contacts for any board

business until we have new officers:

Dudley Jans, 396-8190

Betty Anderson, 832-5178

Jan McDaniel, 924-5281

Sue Rhodes, 924-1615.

Tableware. Starting with the May

Pancake Breakfast, HCC is asking that

you bring your own tableware to all HCC

events. Please take it home to be

washed so the kitchen crew can get

their job done and get home in a timely

manner.

Coffee & Donuts. When Bashas

closed, HCC searched for a new source

for good donuts and found it at the Mid-

west Meat Marketplace and Bakery, just

down the road. Although HCC must

now charge $1 for our Saturday morn-

ing coffee and donuts, that’s still a

bargain. Even if you get the 79 cent

senior coffee at McDonalds, it costs

more than a dollar with tax and a pas-

try! And you don’t get to sit and visit

with your neighbors while you hear the

latest community news.

CINCO DE MAYO PARTY WITH KEVIN

MOEN AND HIS ONE MAN BAND

Those of you who were at TGIF on the

Friday night that Kevin Moen showed up

and played his one-man-band for us will

be happy to know he’s coming to help

us celebrate Cinco de Mayo on Tuesday,

May 5. He plays the old favorites that

we love. Bring your dancing shoes!

This last HCC sponsored event until fall

is being put on by Connie Tusa, Jan

McDaniel, Mary Shaw, Sue Rhodes and

Barb Feit. Happy Hour starts at 4:30

PM and dinner will be at 5:30. Kevin

will play from 5:30 to 7:30. Cost for

dinner and entertainment is only $5,

paid in advance to Connie Tusa. Look

for fliers with more information and a

signup sheet in the clubhouse.

SUMMER PANCAKE BREAKFASTS

Millard Copas and his crew of helpers

have offered do an HCC sponsored

Summer Pancake Breakfast on the first

Saturdays of the month from May

through September starting at 7:30 AM.

Read Millard’s Highland’s Happenings

email or watch for fliers for more

details. The first one will be on May 2nd.

You can pay at the door. Let’s all show

up and enjoy a good meal.

AND YOU

“WHY DO WE LIVE IN A

MANUFACTURED HOME?”

This is a question that many friends

have asked. Well, our usual answer is,

“We enjoy the life style.” Several

recent studies support our choice.

Manufactured homes appeal to a wide

range of demographic groups. In our

country, 22 million people, with an

average age of 54.1, live in manufac-

t u r e d h ome s . O f t h e s e , 1 9

million live in their 8 million homes

full-time.

Manufactured housing provides quality-

built, affordable homes. In fact,

affordability is a key factor in the

growth of manufactured housing. At an

average cost of $43,800 it is clear that

a manufactured home is much more

affordable than a site built home at an

average cost of $136,425 (excluding

land price).

According to a study by Foremost Insur-

ance Company, most manufactured

home owners report satisfaction with

their choice. Likewise, a recent Owens

Coring Study, conducted by National

Family Opinion, found that 93% of

manufactured home owners are

satisfied with their housing choice. We

count ourselves as part of that group.

AAMHO Forms.

Forms to list any issue you may have

for local AAMHO consideration are avail-

able at the clubhouse. The form pub-

lished in the April issue of Highland

Herald and is available on the Online

Herald site. Just take one, (or

download it) fill it out and give to one of

the officers listed at the bottom of the

form. You can list anything that af-

fects you personally, or a commu-

nity concern like something to do

with the clubhouse, pool or roads as

well. Please remember that some of us

escape from this Valley of the Sun for

parts of the summer, so a quick re-

sponse may not be “as quick” as during

the winter months.

The officers of Highland at Brentwood

AAMHO urge you to enjoy these first

months of summer.

Our local AAMHO officers:

Tom Feit, President, and Irene Helm, Treasurer.

The flower photos in this issue are from

around Canyon Lake. They are in color so

they are best seen online. Apologies to

non-computer users—I just had to share

these fun spring photos.

whenever that will be.

WHY…

…do drugstores make the sick walk all the

way to the back of the store to get their

prescriptions while healthy people can buy

cigarettes at the front?

...do banks leave both doors open and then

chain the pens to the counters?

...do we have drive up ATM machines with

Braille lettering?

...is “abbreviated” such a long word?

...is it that doctors call what they do

“practice?”

...is the man who invests all your money

called a broker?

LADIES LUNCHEON

There will be no Ladies Luncheon in

May, due to conflicts with Memorial Day.

In March, our annual style show, spon-

sored by BonWorth, was a great success

with over 50 ladies in attendance. Our

models Ann Barager, Adele Genow,

Mary O’Connor, Marion Severson and

JoAnne Anderson did a great job.

Thanks to Ann Barager and Shirley

Leppink who helped set up, take money

and clean up and a special thanks to

Gail and Jeri Anshutz who stepped up at

the last minute to help the models dress

and to Marion Severson who put out

those fliers that helped us remember to

show up. And finally, thanks to Jewette

Raymond and Jean Marshall-Pryde of

BonWorth who made the show possible

and for the $25 gift certificate they do-

nated.

The money from the raffle of this certifi-

cate will be used for our summer Ladies

Luncheon activities. Irene Helm, #227,

248-7998, is our summer facilitator.

Make her job easier by volunteering to

be a hostess for one of the summer

months. All this entails is finding a res-

taurant, making reservations for 20 or

so ladies and making simple individual

favors if you want to.

Joyce Krystofiak, Mary Shaw and Ann Baster

SUMMER EXERCISE

When it’s too hot to exercise outside,

you can still come to pool for water

aerobics on Mondays, Wednesdays and

Fridays at 9 AM and to the clubhouse

for aerobic dance on Tuesdays and

Thursdays at 8:00 AM. These varied

exercises are a great way to start your

day. An exercise routine that changes

and broadens your physical abilities and

actually may have a role in preventing

dementia. It might also keep you from

being bored and quitting!

Come on down, ladies! You’ll end up

with more energy, have a fun visit with

your neighbors and feel good about tak-

ing care of your body.

Water. Our leader, Ann Baxter, has led

water aerobics in other parks and she

knows her business. She keeps us

moving with an ever changing variety of

exercises, accompanied by laughter and

singing that makes the hour go quickly.

Dancing. Mary Shaw brings her iPod

for a half hour of free form dancing to

old favorites. Laughter and chatter are

as much a part of the program as is the

dancing. We sing. We do the Chicken,

the Hokey Pokey and the Slide. We

stretch and we march and we dance.

And we have a great time. Come join

us. Chair dancers welcome!

O’Connor and JoAnne Anderson with BonWorth staff.

THE RED HATS RIDE THE RAIL

Last month, the Classy Lassies rode the

Light Rail Line for their outing. Barb Pe-

ters tells about their trip:

After debating the wisdom of catching

the feeder bus on the corner of Main

and Val Vista we decide instead to car

pool to the start of the line on Main and

Sycamore. Another hurried meeting to

decide which car to use, and we are

off. At Sycamore, we leave our car in

the parking lot and head for the train

platform. Visiting and chattering, and

enjoying a typical Arizona spring day,

we hardly notice the block long walk.

Now for the ticket machines! We’ve just

started debating which of the several

ticket choices to buy, when the standing

train leaves the station. Oh well, there’s

always another one. The sun shining on

the information screen makes it difficult

to read but we persevere. Hmmm, a

one-day pass for $2.50? Or a one-

ride ticket for seniors at $.60? We

finally conclude that two times $.60

seems like the best bargain so we buy

our tickets. Ah, here comes the next

train! We board and face another

choice. Do we want to ride back-

ward? Hmmm, maybe not. How about

the side seats? Good choice.

A smooth take off and we are on our

way. A few stops later we are in ASU

territory, where the students make good

use of the rail going from one part of

the campus to another. See the young

couple over in the corner. Ahh, young

love. Soon we are alongside Tempe

Town Lake. Wow! Water in the de-

sert! A few more stops, and we are in

downtown Phoenix. Look! There's

Chase Field just a block away. What an

easy way to get there! Oh, oh, here’s

our stop--Copper Square. Get moving,

ladies.

The train pulls out leaving us standing

on the platform, feeling like tourists.

Heads swiveling every direction,

we started walking. We pass a young

man crossing the street and he looks at

us in our red and purple. “I didn't ex-

pect to see flowers today,” he says. We

laugh and say we’re glad to brighten his

day. It’s noon and lots of busi-

ness people are having lunch outdoors

in patio restau-

rants. Others are

hurrying back to

work, carrying

white bags of

food to eat at

their desks. We

go along gaily,

chattering and

pointing out the

sights.

Our goal is an

Irish pub near

the Hotel San

Carlos. In front

of the pub, we find ourselves walking on

the stars. Gold stars, with celebrities’

names inside. “Here’s Clark Gable!” and

“I just walked on Marilyn Monroe!” It

seems that with the Orpheum Theatre

SUMMER HERALD DELIVERIES

Our delivery people are pretty special.

Other parks seldom have such an

organized system for getting their

newsletter and fliers out right to every-

one’s home. Betty Olson has done a

great job recruiting people and keeping

her crew working like clockwork.

However, summers have presented a

challenge with Betty and many of her

crew gone. Last year the delivery job

fell to our Area Representatives. This

year, Betty worked hard and found

enough full-timers to fill in until fall.

Dorothy Chapman, #165, (969-7697)

has agreed to take over for Betty while

she’s gone, and some other full timers

have stepped help out too. Besides

Dorothy, the summer crew includes

Wayne Hill, Lois Crooks, Dudley Jans,

Gwen Burrows, Barb Morrissey, Irene

Hernandez, Jim and Polly Wenbourne,

Jerry Bernard, and Gail Anshutz. Thanks

to Betty for her special effort and to

Dorothy and her crew for stepping up

and keeping our unique delivery system

viable all summer.

close by, the San Carlos has been fre-

quented by many celebrities over the

years, whose names are now memorial-

ized in these large gold stars. What

fun!

By the time our eyes adjust from the

bright streets to the pub’s gloominess,

our waitress Christy has distributed

menus with many interesting choices—

oh, not more choices! Soon she is back,

and we decide on a variety of selec-

tions. Good food all! We clean our

plates in short order and we are once

more ready to roll.

We walk a couple of blocks back to the

homeward bound train platform where,

tickets in hand, we board the train with-

out having to deal with ticket machines

and more choices. This time, we share

our car with a man who is sound

asleep. At the Washington and 43rd St.

stop, a couple gets on with their lug-

gage. They tell us they took the feeder

bus from the airport and are on their

way to meet their son who is waiting at

the end of the line, where our car is also

parked. He lives in Apache Junction and

thinks this is a splendid arrangement.

“We’re from Minnesota,” they say as we

visit. “We’re going to be here a week

and are looking forward to enjoying a

change from snow and cold.” Nice

folks.

All too soon we must disembark. “I

hope he wakes up in time to get off at

his stop on the trip back downtown,”

someone says as we pass the still sleep-

ing man. The rest of us laugh quietly

and nod. It was a great outing

with good friends.

FROM YOUR EDITORS

Life has not gone smoothly of late here

at the Highlands. Perhaps we need

some lessons in the democratic process,

in being grateful for our volunteers and

in being less critical of what they do or

don’t do. There have been many bad

examples of how to work with

volunteers flying around but we saw a

good example at our last board meet-

ing. Millard Copas, unhappy the Pan-

cake Breakfast was cancelled for lack of

signups, volunteered to do the Pancake

Breakfasts for the summer—a positive

move. And Mary Shaw, who has been

doing them for some time, said she’d be

glad to have the summer off—a positive

answer. A win-win for everyone!

This is not an either-or, Millard or Mary,

your side or my side situation. It is an

HCC event and we can support the park

by supporting the event, no matter who

is in the kitchen!

With this issue, we begin our bi-monthly

summer schedule. You will get the

Herald in May, July and September.

There is less to report during the sum-

mer months when so many of us are

gone and more importantly, this sched-

ule allows your editors to publish while

we travel. Just e-mail your items to us.

Those without computers can leave the

information on Marlene Edwards’s clip at

#134 Desert or call her at 786-6050.

Thank you, Marlene!

We invite you to send us e-mails about

what you are doing at home. If we get

enough of them for a column, we will

include these in the Herald.

residents, there is one at Hacienda

you can use. The first 5 copies are

free and more are only a penny each.

Enjoy your summer!

From the ELS Activities Director,

I hope you all are able to get out and

enjoy the wonderful weather before the

temperatures soar.

We have had some great parties at

Hacienda and I am again extending the

invitation, that anytime we have

a function or party, the residents from

the Highlands are more than welcome. I

will post it on your bulletin board.

We are planning a “Second Time

Around” party where we’ll collect

clothes, shoes, purses, belts and jewelry

you normally would donate to some

Thrift store. A few volunteers will sort

them, and then we’ll have a party. You

can shop and pick whatever you want

for FREE. There will be a light luncheon

served before the “shopping” and the

charge for that would be $3.00. If it is

as successful as it was in another com-

munity, we’ll have it once a year. I had

a lot of fun doing that. Any

unwanted items can be donated to a

women’s shelter.

Forgive, You will have happiness.

Forget, You will have satisfaction.

Forgive and forget, You will have

everlasting peace, Within and without.

Take care! Barbara DeMith
