Mary Horan, President

Any fool would know it was winter; December is a 1 ready here. · But, I'm no ordinary fool and the cold air that stung my face caught me by surprise. So, too, did the sight of Sabino Creek wearing its sparkling icy top coat. Just for emphasis the howling winds blew .in a few dry flakes of s·now.

Thanks.giving has segued into the Christmas season and anothe·r year is nearly gone~ The past one had brought so much turmoil to too·many lives and seamed interminably long in the l ivfog. In retrospect it whisked by 11 ke a 11 those before it.

Most of you have long ago closed your mountain homes to enjoy the bless-ings of a desert winter. Before we say goodbye till the annual meeting in April, I would on.behalf of your entire Board of 01 rectors 11 ke to thank you for your suppc,rt and encouragement

ECHOES FROM THE PAST .·

When watching :the

"earthquake" news· on tele-vis,ion, I learned that in May of 1887, Mt. Lennon felt a big _quake-. It. is now estimated as a _Richter

7-~6. A little research at

the Histori~a.1: s~c:iety led . me.-to this._·Forest Service· account: ·"Wtlen ·the quake struck

the

Old _Santa catalfna MountainS: great s l ices of-• the mounta i_n gave away, and wen'.t tum-bling down into the canyons, huge clouds of $11lO_ke or dust ascended into the blue sky high above the queenly moun--ta1ns.

in this section had forest fires in several. places . started by rock ·. .

avalanches, which caused a friction setting fire to dry trees and leaves. Over the sunmit of Mt. Lemmon for quite awhile after the-,shock hovered a huge dark canopy of smoke or d_ust unti 1 it 9radua·11y faded away."

From other accounts. I also learned that all those huge beau.ti f u 1 · bou

1-ders in .. the yards. of the homes in.Skyline Country Club came down from the mountain tops durj ng that

quake. · ·

So what would happen to your cabin, where would it slide to, if we had an-other "b.ig one"?

ZIMMERMAN ACCOMMODATION SCHOOL

by Florence Koch, Teacher

When th'e students were polled as to the big hap-penings since.the last writing for the Echoes, they thought of lots of things that were important to them. Little things

mean a lot to children ~ any attention given to

them seems to be appreci-ated.

Items mentioned during a brainstorming session were: new student Nick Ilka; meeting some girls who joined them in playing games during lunch at the meadow; having going away parties for Christina Cooper ~nd _Chelsea Moore who move·d .awayh fi,nding a box turtle and.keeping it for a few days to study

it; receiving a. ,qaterpi 1-lar from Joyce.Lemke and watching it spin a cocoon which we hope.will mature into a luna moth; having Bill and Jill Hill bring a "giant grasshoppe'r" to school; celebr,ating Leland vought's birthdaywith cake and ice cream; mak~~ paper mache' masks and ·.

sculpting bears after do-ing research about black bears.

Amy Peterson is assist-ing with the book reviews needed to qualify for an individual pizza furnished by Pizza Hut. Once the children have read four books within a month, they are eligible for the

treat. For,extra incen-tive Amy treated them to cupcakes following the first week of Book It. This is a five month pro-gram to encourage reading for pleasure.

Gerry Ilka had the stu-dents come to the Mt. Lem-mon Cafe to decorate cook-ies. Cookies and frosting were plentiful and the cookies were brought back to school to be shared at the Halloween Party that night. Thanks to Gerry for a fun activity.

The annual Halloween Party was held on October

31 wit~'j5 people mas-querading. The games planned by the students were in keeping with the theme and the building had been decorated by Mark Hopkins, Debbie Vought and Amy Peterson. Special treats~ere brought for the ch11dren by Joan

K 1 i ngerf Chrts Coppock and

Mary Grace Wendel.

The winning entry in a poster contest, You "Auto" Buckle~·!Jp~ was created by

Alexey Buglewicz. His

poster said, "Don't Wear

Out Ambulances, Wear Your Seat Belts".

Jacob Lauser won the local spelling bee with Corey Chesleigh as runner-up. Jacob is eligible to

enter the district contest of Pima County.

Mark Hopkins took time

from his busy schedule to share two books with our students by reading aloud to them. The books were "Follow the Drinking Gourd," and "The Wise Man on the Mountain."

We are still collecting Campbell Soup labels in hopes of being able to have some computer

soft-ware to add to our present

resources. We appreciate any help you've given so far. Keep turning the la-bels in to Helen Quigley, Sharon Thomas or the Zim-merman Accommodation School.

The Christm4s program is still in the planning stages, but you can be sure the chilµren will make you fee 1 '.in the spirit of the.season, so put this date'on your cal-endar. Be at Ski Valley

Iron Door on Friday, De-cember 15, 6:30 P.M.

The Tucson-Pima Arts Council is sponsoring the third annual Rural Travel-ing Arts exhibit of which our school students will have five works of art in-cluded . . The exhibit wil 1

The mince ,s the main ingredient of mincemeat pie. It is also the chief source of the fuzz that goes around rear view mir-rors. It is, at once, a fabulous and terrible creature.

The dangerous thing · about the mince is its

combination of extremely powerful teeth (they eat rocks) and an instanta-11e9us digestive system. A f~ll grown mince is only . one. in~h long, but it can ·· dey_ou r, digest and dispose

of~a full grown human in tinder 30 seconds. So let us salute those intrepid •people who venture out so

NOTES FROM THE CHIEF

by Chuck Hamme 1, Fi re Chief

On November 19th, we had a cabin fire that came within one minute of

killing two occupants. This fire was caused by an accumulation of tars in the chimney and failure of the stove pipe to contain the over heated gases. I implore each and everyone of us to check our chimney system and have it cleaned by a professional sweep. All systems in place for more than one year or

prior to the new codes may have an improper installa-tion. When you have a chimney fire the fire may vent to the outside and your alarm might not work.

This 1 s one of the many ~

-problems that can kill ..

We at the fire depart-ment would like to wish each and every one of you a safe and fire free holi-day.

JUST A NOTE by Ex-Mayor Psycho Most Lemmonites' real-ize I'm in charge of vices on the mountain. Well, I'm here to tell you vices are still running rampant. I'm doing a very good job of keeping them going. Sure its a hard job, but someone with a total un-derhanded hand must keep these things in full swing.

Not to say anything about our beloved, truste~ and your;g M.i ss Mayor, bu~-.. , have you heard anything from her? If you have, its sure news to me!! I've heard through the grapevine that she's really lazy, doesn't do her homework, housework or as a matter of fact any work. There have been ru-mors of impeachment and refund of the protocol fund. Her biggest sup-porters are in her messy bedroom which she refuses to clean up and refers as her staff's problem.

I know it is still early and sometime before the 4th of July election, but all of the Lemmonite voters had better take a good look at the vices possessed by our little Miss Mayor. Perhaps, you should consider now to

-launch a b1g support ef-fort for Ex-Mayor Psycho Manley. You all know he's crazy to have the job.

BIRDS AND BEES FLOWERS AND TREES

by Sheri Le&

This Fall I fed the hummingbirds until they a 11 left. The last to, go were the. largest ••• th& Bluethroats. One,stayed well into November. They wi 11 begin to return in mid-March.

, ·. · some of the birds that stay, around in the winter are the turkeys, owls, doves, pigeons, and wood-peckers. All of the jays . are· permanent residents.

The· Y&lloweyed Junco i.s

joined here by the:grey-heade.d and Oregon Junccs. The Mountain Chickadee and the Rufoussided Towhee ·· stay a.l l year, as do the·

Pygmy and Whitebreasted\ Nuthatches.

Few bear sightings have been reported 1 ate 1 Y, so they must be napping. They do get out in the winter, and they can break

into cabins for food. Yes . .,. even when i.t' s in

cans. :'. ··,

If our meteorologists. are right, .tnts winter win bEJ dry.lfke the last and we will,;;h,ave thirsty and hurrgry,,bears bothering us again next sunmer. We are all older and wiser

and we :!mow a 1 ot of th'tflf9S not to do that at-t raet be.a.rs, Anet th&

bears won J t have forgot,ten ,

the ·tricks they learnl!d .·<,·

1 ast sunwner, including how,·.: · to avoid being trapped.·.

Rumor has it that the · · .... bear bait was so tasty in

one trap that 24 skunks converged on it at one t1me for a b1g picnic. I have not been ab le to 'find out just who stayed around to count them!

B111 and Ame11aHuggins have had skunks

and'

rac- · coons eating side by stde from their cat's dish.

,a,m.• speaking of cats, the, st·r:ay cat· problem is very·bact. Some folks are th1r:tk1.ng of trllQ11ing r;~m-affd taking theffl. t0c the.

Hu-mane society. That seems like a good idea as ~in-ters are too cold and food is scarce. If you see a cat with .. its ear,,tips missing, i't has probably

lost them to frostbite. Have you noticed lately the thick ear tufts and fluffy

ta

i 1 s on the .Abe rt squirr~ls? They are ready for
