Good Neighbor Marilyn Koregelos
If you are a neighbor or friend of
Marilyn Koregelos, consider yourself
lucky!
Some say she is the glue that keeps her
village together, serving as its coordinator.
Others describe how she thoughtfully
checks on neighbors—widows, widowers,
and those who are ailing or recently
discharged from the hospital.
And, then there are her impromptu
dinners and card parties at her home.
“Why plan days in advance?” Marilyn asks.
“If I get up in the morning and decide to
have a dinner that night, that’s all the time
I need! Besides, having company is the
only way, I’ll cook!”
And, cook she does, especially
replicating in her kitchen some of her
favorite dishes that she’s enjoyed at local
restaurants.
“My house is open to everyone –
people are always welcome,” she adds.

Calif. with her husband in December 2000.

Think The Drought Is Over? Not So Hasty, My Friends

If you would like some help setting
the timer for your landscape watering
system, call Neighbors InDeed Handy
Helpers at 223-2763. Recent reports
in the media indicate that even
though our lakes are
at high capacity
and there
seems to be
plenty of water
available, the truth is
that the snowpack is
melting much faster
than normal and that
supplies will be heavily impacted by
the end of the summer months, as the high
elevation snow disappears. Today’s Sacramento
Bee reports that inflow into Folsom Lake is at
1,419 cubic feet per second while outflow is at
4,640 cubic feet per second. Releases are always
determined by the needs for maintaining fish
population, agricultural irrigation demands,
and prevention of salt water intrusion into the
delta, as well as domestic household usage.
Sacramento area is still requesting that
landscape irrigation be limited to 2 days per
week. The City of Lincoln released updated
water restrictions dated June 8, 2016 stating
that, “effective immediately, residents are
permitted to water on the days of the week
She credits her neighborhood ‘s tight-knit
atmosphere to several factors – some 20
neighbors moved into their new houses at
the same time in 2000. And with, Dolly,
another neighbor, she and many others
have helped to shape the village into a
“family.” It didn’t take long. During that
first Christmas together, they gathered
in Dolly’s garage to make gingerbread
snowmen.
Even today, a holiday tradition
continues. Their village is one of a few
where all houses are decked out with
colorful lights and displays which draw
car after car of residents from near and
far, anxious to get a closer look and soak
up some holiday spirit.
Jim, her husband of 47 years, died in
2009 after a lengthy illness. Marilyn was
his devoted companion and caretaker.

the number of days per week they may water.
The city encourages all residents to continue
to take CONSERVATION measures to attain
a voluntary reduction in water use of 10% over
the same month in 2013”.
It is my hope that before you open those
floodgates and start watering like crazy because
all your lawns and landscapes have browned out
during drought that you will take a look at that

From the Editors . . .
Our girls are growing
up and moving out, so we
decided to take a “bucket
list” trip to Europe. Perhaps
our last trip as just the four of
us together. We spent most
of the time in London and
Paris, going to museums and
shows, with a few side trips –
like Disney Paris.
But, by far, the best part
was just being together 24/7.
Hopefully, there will be more
trips down the road, but
at least, “we’ll always have
Paris.”

enough to be chosen to learn how to ski and
join the Army Ski Patrol during WWII. Jim
was also in the German Occupation when
WWII ended. Over the years he counted 55
ski areas he had been to. Jim’s career was in
sales, and he started his own successful business
at 55 years of age. He is survived by his loving
wife of 63 years, Jan, and their three children:
Joanne Warren Parsley, George Warren, James
Warren Jr. Grandchildren: Paige Parsley Bush,
Taylor Parsley, Samantha Warren, Sophia and
James Warren, and his first great grandchild,
Parker Bush. Our precious in-laws are: Sharon
Ito Warren, Ellie Wilson and Darrel Parsley.
Jim was a very loving family man, fine husband
and father. He loved people and always had a
smile and a kind word that people didn’t forget.
A Celebration of Life was held on July 27.
Jim would have appreciated donations in his
name to Unity of Auburn, 1212 High Street,

The Players
BY BECKY NICHOLSON
What are you waiting for? Get your tickets
for “Play It Again, Sam” in the Kilaga Theater
on one of these dates:
Thursday, August 11 at 7:00 PM
Friday, August 12 at 7:00 PM
Saturday, August 13 at 7:00 PM
Sunday, August 14 at 2:00 PM
All shows are a real bargain at only $12,
and you can enjoy the intimate seating in the
Kilaga Presentation Hall, since all seats are
reserved and close to the stage.
Woody Allen wrote the hit comedy “Play
It Again, Sam” in the 1960’s, but the humor
has never gone out of style. Ken Reiss portrays
Allan Felix, a nerdy guy who is searching for
the perfect woman to restore his confidence
while he’s going through a disastrous divorce.
His wife, played by Julie Africa, feels bored
and neglected since he never wants to do all
the adventurous things she’s suddenly aching
for. His best friends Dick and Linda, played
by Pat Shafer and Mike Cox, try to help Allan
find a date; but disappointment follows, as
each woman he meets has problems he can’t
reconcile with. Steve Garavito, as Humpfrey
Bogart, gives Allan lots of advice about women,
but Allan can’t quite capture the “Bogey”
style. The play is directed by Bob Murdock
and produced by Craig Stults.
Auditions for acting roles for the
November show “Happy Holidays, A Tribute
to Movie Musicals,” will be held August 30 and
31 in the Orchard Creek Fine Arts Room at
6:00 PM. The show will be directed by Julie
Africa and features an original script written
by Ken Reiss, Paul Krow and Julie Africa.
“Happy Holidays” will be presented November
17, 18 and 19 in the Orchard Creek Ballroom.
Dancers and singers are already rehearsing for
this fantastic Player’s show.
Join us at our regular monthly meetings
on the second Monday of each month at 4:00

Vaudeville Troupe
BY PATRICIA HOWLE
It’s a wrap! The Golden Revue Vaudeville
Variety Show held July 8th and 9th in Kilaga
Springs Lodge is history. The cast of 49
performers entertained four enthusiastic
audiences with two shows each day. From the
opening number of Shake Rattle and Roll by
the Lincoln Highway Trio to the Maple Leaf
Rag performed by the Back Porch Cloggers,
the first half of the show was a lively one. After
a brief ten-minute intermission, the audience
found itself surrounded by Team Zombie as
they performed a scary
dance rountine to Michael
Jackson’s Thriller to open
the second half. Few will
forget Steve Evans’s tribute
to Tom Jones in It’s Not
Unusual, our closing act for
the show! Vocal renditions,
comedy routines, Thoughts
in Rhyme, a variety of
dances, and musical
medleys rounded out our
variety show.
The cast would like
to thank the following
members for making our
show possible. Our Tekkies:

Regardless of our age, we need to keep
balance in our life. Particularly, we need to
address the actual physical act of balance. Did
you know that dancing can help you improve
your balance? While aerobic exercise and
strength training trigger brain chemicals
that enhance neuron growth and survival,
improving balance and coordination call on
higher-level cognitive processes that appear
to actually increase the number of electrical
connections in our brain. And, did you know
that it is novelty and unpredictability that keeps
our brain engaged? Now, think of all that in
terms of Ballroom Dancing. The partner who
leads in dancing is making decisions about
step sequences, the follower must then quickly
respond and “follow the lead”. So, while you

Country Couples
BY TERRI KRCHA
The heat of the summer did not deter
Country Couples dancers for a second as they
came together to enjoy the ever popular Saloon
Flag Day Dance —
Paul Krcha and Marv Zamba.
Ron and Roseanne Bogue
Esther and Yuwen Hsu
give you some individual attention during the
open dance hours. The last hour, from 4:00 to
5:00pm, intermediate level lessons are given.
All lessons are presented in a group format.
We have many fun, dance-themed events
throughout the year. Our next event is August
13th from 6:00 to 9:00pm at Kilaga Springs in
the Multipurpose Room. The theme is “Hot
August Nights”. Dressing to a 50’s theme is
encouraged but not required. Tickets are on
sale through Tuesday, August 9th. The cost is
Tom and Ern Hargis
Dance. The decorations committee brought
the “old west” saloon to life with creative
western wall coverings, various artifacts and
posters while tables decorated with poker
chips, playing cards and gold coins created a
fun atmosphere for all to enjoy. A great deal of
time and effort went into our meal preparation
and to those that took on this task, we can’t
thank you enough for the absolutely delicious
dinner of lasagna, garlic bread and salad. Once
the music began members flooded the floor
to do the Cowboy Cha Cha and an evening of
dancing began.
On June 11th, in honor of Flag Day, club
members paid tribute to our troops and our
country with a salute to the flag as members
gathered in a circle holding hands and singing,
“I’m Proud to be an American”. It was an
extremely touching moment with many of us
holding back tears.
Since red, white and blue were the colors
of choice for this event many of our Country
Couples dressed in tribute to our country.
Small American Flags were the focus of the
table decorations where we enjoyed a “potluck”
of an amazing assortment of delicious entrées,
salads and desserts. Jim and Jeanie Keener
were our hosts and DJ for the evening and
they kept us on the floor with one dance right
after another – a great way to work off that
wonderful dinner!

LH Painters’ Club
BY JOAN MUSILLANI
Wow, the summer is flying
by! The Painters Club has been
busy with a variety of shows. If
you were in the Orchard Creek
Lodge, you couldn’t miss our
great display in the main lobby
(see pictures). Thanks to the
Association for providing
us such a central location to
display our work. They have
also worked with the various
art instructors and volunteers
to develop a display wall in
the Fine Arts Room where the classes are
held. The Michael Mikolon’s drawing and
watercolor classes had an impressive collection
of art up in July, and the current display is from
Marilyn Rose’s oil and acrylic classes. When
the rooms are open, take a minute to wander
in and enjoy the display.
The Waffle Corner has generously
provided space for an on-going display of
Club art work. If you enjoyed breakfast or
lunch during July and appreciated the art,
check it out again as new work went up the
end of July, so it’s a whole new show! (Waffle
Corner is located across Del Webb Blvd from
the Orchard Creek Lodge).
Currently (for the month of August)
the club is showing at the Umpqua Bank in
downtown Lincoln (571 5th Street). Park in
the back lot and enjoy the show hung in the
back lobby. Thanks to Umpqua for sharing
their space!
Our July speaker was Susan Sarback, a
wonderful artist and instructor. She specializes
in “light and color” and shared with us how to
incorporate her techniques in our paintings.
As always, her program was a treat – thanks
Susan, for making time to speak to us! Our
August speaker with be a representative from
the Dick Blick art supply company. They have
all the supplies you need, either on-line or in
their Sacramento store, where there is always
someone to help you figure out the best product
for you. We’ll hear about the latest in materials
and supplies.

Needle Arts —
Threads of Friendship
BY MARSHA ROSS
The hot July weather lends itself to
spending time indoors to read, relax, or do
needle arts. This is the perfect time to catch
up on half-completed projects, to organize
material and yarns, and to plan projects for
the holidays.
The Needle Arts Group will not have a
General Meeting in August but will resume in
Embroidery Sampler by Linda Pietz
September with gusto. All the sub-groups will
continue to meet in August.
Did you know that anyone in Lincoln Hills
may donate material, yarn, and supplies to
Needle Arts? We use donations to create items
to give to organizations that serve patients and
children. Thank you to many residents who
have recently made donations.
Needle Arts members have the opportunity
to go on a Shop Hop on Wednesday, September
14. The bus will be heading to Chico, Paradise,
Colusa and Willows. Mark your calendar. More
information will follow in August.
The Pacific International Quilt Festival
will be held from October 13 to 16 in Santa
Clara. There will be a Lincoln Hills bus going
to the event on one of those days. Mark your
calendar! Details will be forthcoming.
If you are not a Needle Arts member yet,
September will be a good time to join and
participate in your favorite activity – quilting,

Paper Arts Group
BY LINDA LUCCHETTI
Our July meeting was packed! With
temperatures soaring outside, and December
only about 4 months away, we were in the
mood to ‘chill’ and celebrate “Christmas in
July.” Guest presenter Debbie Chronister of
Stampin’ Up! led our monthly project which
included creating four unique and beautiful
holiday greeting cards and a decorative wine
bottle tag. Thank you to Debbie and her
helpers for spreading some early holiday joy.
We meet on the first Thursday of each
month at 9 a.m., in the Terra Cotta Room
at the Kilaga Springs Lodge. New members
are welcome. Come for the paper crafting

LH Photography Club
BY BRAD SENN
If someone told you they shot the galactic
core last night you might wonder if you should
report them to the police. In this case you
should not. For photographers, shooting
images of the Milky Way Galaxy and specifically
the core is a milestone worthy of achieving.
Some might think this easy as all you have to
do is point your lens to the night sky and push
the button. As with most milestones, it’s not
that simple. To accomplish this feat requires
that you find a place where there is virtually
no ambient light. That is, no street lights, no
building lights, no car lights, no camp fires….
no lights period. Then you have to include
the fact that the air must have virtually no
haze. Haze is composed of smog, humidity,
and particulates like dust and pollen. On top
of that there can be few clouds to get in the
way. Oh, and two more very important factors;
absolutely no sun or moon. Suddenly you
realize that this is not so simple; first, where
do you find a place with no light and no stuff
in the atmosphere? Second, how do you know
when the galactic core is going to show up?
Third, how do you know when the sun and
moon are going to be out of the sky? Fourth,
how do you know when and where all of this
is going to happen all at once?
Some of our members were bound and
determined to get this shot, so they did some
in-depth research and determined that if we
positioned ourselves at Loon Lake (located
about 10 miles due west of Lake Tahoe) at an
elevation of 6,500 feet on July 7 we would have
a good chance of getting the shot. Based on this
research five of our members (Bob Baikauskas,
Dale Peterson, Allen Adler, Pete Henshaw and
Brad Senn) headed up into the mountains to
get this milestone image. It seems lady luck
smiled on them as there were no clouds, no
fires, no haze; just the beautiful Milky Way
galactic core waiting to be photographed.
You can barely see it with the naked eye but
when you take timed exposures of around 20
seconds you get a magnificent image of the
astronomical subject that seems to light up
the sky. All of our photographers came back
having achieved their goal with big smiles on
their faces.
The Lincoln Hills Photography Club is
a very active organization with four meetings
per month. A General Meeting usually with
a guest speaker specializing in a particular
aspect of photography, an Enhancement SIG
(Special Interest Group) focusing on using
various software to take the creative process
even further, a Print SIG that investigates
various printing methods and showcases the
final product and finally the Round Table SIG
that offers a forum to show your images, ask
questions, discuss ideas or any other topic
related to photography.

meeting times see our website at lhphotoclub.

Antiques Appreciation Club
BY GENEVIEVE TEWART
Monday, July 4th was Show & Tell!
Members brought 1 or 2 items, which were
50 years or older. The program started with a
tray with two “What’s It”(s), which was passed
around. We were to figure out what the two
items were or were used for and at the end of
the program we talked about these curious
pieces! The Show & Tell items included a
doll’s cradle Crazy Quilt with weighted silk;
an 1888 Autograph Book with interesting
sayings; a box of Dominoes with carefully
kept scores and locations obviously from
traveling to many interesting places. There was
glassware, ceramics, family pieces, tiles, jewelry
(including a cameo named “The Allegory of
Purity”), and 1920s ivory figures carved and
signed by a well-known German carver. We
also saw clothing including a Kimono jacket
that Japanese Fireman would have worn; Hat
Pins from around 1890-1914 that were so long
there were laws passed because they were
used as weapons, and (think 4th of July) a
U.S. issued Navy sailor’s uniform. All of these
items (and more) came with wonderful stories
and interesting bits of information. Wondering
about the “What’s It”(s), so are we!
On August 1st, a couple will bring their
collection of Featherweight Sewing Machines
and tell all about them. So if someone you
know is interested in the mechanical, they
may want to come hear all about these very
collectible machines!
We meet on the first Monday of each
month at 10:00 AM in the breakout rooms
of the Ballroom, Heights and Gables. If you
collect or just appreciate antiques, we’d love
to have you join us!

Woodcarvers Club
BY LIONEL RAINMAN
Woodcarving goes back a long way either
as a necessity to make or repair something and
subsequently evolved into an art form and/or
a recreational hobby. There are several styles
of carving: realistic, stylized, caricature, and
novelty items like spoons, chains, and puzzles.
Woodcarvers obviously carve in wood although
some have been known to carve golf balls and
even peach pits.
The woodcarvers in our club have various
carving and creative abilities and are always
available to assist or advise other members
or new carvers as well. Woodcarvers Club
members have a large library of carving books,
magazines and DVD’s for plans and ideas. If
you are curious or have an interest in carving
please stop by and see what we are doing. We
have carving tools that you can use.
Woodcarvers Club meet every Wednesday
from 1:00-4:00 PM in the Sierra Room at (KS).

Stamp Club
BY TIM MILES
One of the stolen 1918 “Inverted Jenny”
24-cent US stamps has been recovered from
a young lad in No. Ireland who found it in a
box full of misc. artifacts left to him by his
grandfather. The boy is to be given a check
by one of the national stamp dealerships for
the recovery of the stamp. The website for the
stamp is www.invertedjenny.com –click on the
11
different sections on the main page and read
about the history of the stamp.
One of the recent surges in the price
of a country’s stamps are the issues of the
Netherlands. They are keeping right up with
the stamps of China, from prewar China, to
Mao-era China to post-Mao China. One of
the reasons we caution folks to check your
catalog value from time to time is that demand
increases, color variety is enormous and these
issues increase pressure on the price. We have
all the world’s current catalogs at our meetings
and we invite anybody to attend with your
“old” album and sit down and bring yourself
up-to-date on current prices. You just might
be surprised. We meet on the 2nd and the 4th
Thursday evening at 6:30 pm at the Sierra
Pines Meeting room (7600 Whistlestop Way
@ Del Webb Blvd, Roseville). We have door
prizes, free raffles, brief presentations, and are
afforded substantial discounts for philatelic
items from mounts to albums through our
affiliation with the Amer. Philatelic Society.
We have outside dinners several times a year
and attend stamp shows and other area events.
Feel free to join us-dues are next to
nothing and you’ll have access to a wealth of
knowledge, great lessons in world history and,
most important, a lot of fun with nice people.

Favorite
Restaurants
BY MARTIN GREEN
SCR resident Marlene Nancett informed
me that her daughter Dana Verducci has
opened a restaurant, the Vitality Bowl, in
Roseville. Vitality Bowls is a chain and Dana
is a franchisee.. Its website says that two
persons, Roy and Tara “fell in love with” the
acai berry and founded the chain in 2011. An
acai bowl, the website tells us, “is a nutritional
powerhouse made from a thick blend of the
Amazon’s antioxidant-rich acai berry, topped
with organic granola and a selection of
superfood ingredients.” Some of the acai bowls
are: the “vitality bowl,” which contains bananas
and strawberries; the “tropical bowl,” which
coconut, mango and pineapple; and the warrior
bowl, which contains almond milk, blueberries,
raspberries and broccoli. The bowls come in
medium and large and gluten-free is available.
In addition to the acai bowls, the restaurant
offers a variety of salads and soups, smoothies
and juices and paninis, which include roasted
turkey, sirloin, salami and veggie.
Dana not only has a mother in SCR
but is a neighbor, residing in West Park. She
opened her Vitality Bowl in May of this year
and says business is good. This is her first
restaurant operation; she has previously had
online businesses. The Vitality Bowl is at 2988
Douglas Boulevard; the cross street is Sierra
College Boulevard. The phone number is 916771-4137. We senior citizens, of course, want
healthy and nutritional food. Dana assures me
that her food is not only healthy, it is also
tasty. So let’s give her our full support.
Last month, I mentioned that Beverly
and I recently had lunch at The Boxing
Donkey Irish Pub in downtown Roseville. We
went there with our friends Jan and Martin
Wolf wanted to see what it was like. Over all,
it’s a pretty large place as you enter into the
bar, which has seven TVs, then go into the
restaurant area, which has about two dozen
tables, plus there is an outside patio. In the
dining area, we were seated close to a large
TV, which had an English soccer game on it.
The bar TVs were also showing soccer games
so if you’re a soccer fan this is the place to go.
Beverly and Jan both had the shepherd’s
pie, Martin Wolf had the bangers and mash,
and I had the fish and chips, with, of course,
a Guiness on draft. All of us were satisfied
with our meals. I asked about the name “The
Boxing Donkey” and was told that it derived
from the name of a pub in London called the
Kicking Goat or something like that. I have to
note that The Boxing Donkey wasn’t like the
pubs in Ireland we’ve been to as the bar and
eating area were separate and there were no
snug corners to eat in. Still, the pub grub was
good and the service very friendly. For more
of a pub atmosphere, it’s probably better to sit
at the bar. I didn’t take a menu and I couldn’t
find a menu online but there are a number
of other Irish-flavored dishes plus cocktails,
beers and wines.
The Boxing Donkey is at 300 Lincoln
Street. Hours are: Monday-Thursday, 11:30
AM-9 PM; Friday, 11:30 AM-10 PM; Saturday,
11 AM-10 PM; Sunday, 11 AM-7 PM. Bar
hours are: Monday-Friday, 11:30 AM-late;
Saturday, Sunday, 11 AM-late. The phone
number is 916-797-3665.
Beverly and I hadn’t been to McCormick
and Schmick’s in The Fountains for a while,
one reason being that they discontinued the
calamari steak on their lunch menu, which had
been my favorite. We did go there recently for
a lunch and presentation put on by the Grand
Circle travel agency, so I can report that the
Caesar salad and chicken marsala that Beverly
and I both had was very good. Their lunch menu
offers many seafood dishes, among which, I see,
is calmari “fritto misto.” There’s a “power box”
lunch section, dishes for $13.99 and less, and
a two course lunch special for $14.99, which
is walnut mixed greens or clam chowder and
a choice of tiapia, fish n’ chips and shrimp or
Northwest salmon sauté. The restaurant is a
steak house as well as a seafood place and has
a variety of steak offerings on its dinner menu.
I’m told that McCormick and Schmick
has a very good happy hour. There a selection
of dishes for $3, $5, $7 or $9; the $5 includes
calmari and cheeseburger with fries. Happy
hour I: Monday-Friday, 3-7; Saturday and
Sunday, 3-5. As said above, the restaurant is
in The Fountains, at 1194 Roseville Parkway.
The phone number is 916-960-4875.
Beverly and I visited The Window Box
Café in Rocklin when it opened last year and
we both liked it very much. It’s a cheery place
with friendly service and offers breakfast all day
as well as lunch dishes. Beverly recently went
to lunch there with one of her women’s groups
and found it as good as she remembered. She
had the spinach omelet, which also came with
tomatoes, onions and mushrooms, potatoes
and two biscuits. The others all ordered off
the senior menu, having salads, sandwiches
and pancakes, plus a free dessert. Beverly says
everyone was very satisfied. The Window Box
is at 6835 Five Star Boulevard. The phone
number is 916-259-2114.
As always, please share your favorite
restaurants by e-mailing me at mgreensuncity@

BY MIKE HENSLEY
Need a little inspiration to put into that
story you have been thinking about? How
about that thought of two imaginary friends
arguing in your mind? Maybe a real-life
NCIS case you want to put into a book? You
could conjure a Murder by Golf Ball, or a
seductive, blue extraterrestrial? How about
those poems you keep creating or what about
that autobiography?
How and why do we write? Those big
how and why questions are always in our
minds as writers and readers. How to write is
a little easier to answer, that is if you seek out
the mechanics from an endless list of subject
matter, proper English usage and correct
punctuation. The SCLH Writers Group has
been having entertaining discussions about
how to use correct quotation punctuation.
But certainly don’t worry about what might
be said about how well you punctuate. Some
of us use either a minimum, or a maximum,
of correct punctuation as it turns out. It is
always entertaining and educational.
Why we write is more difficult to quantify.
Perhaps it’s that personal commitment to share
those magic images from within our minds. It
may be said that cavemen were the first true
writers by scrawling reflections of images from
their minds. Isn’t that what we’re doing with
our writings today? Creating printed images
of what our creative minds conceive? We
could spend an eternity describing why each
of us enjoys putting our thoughts, real and
imagined, on paper and sharing with others.
So, quit putting it off, come join with us
every second, fourth and fifth Monday in the
Ceramics Room at Orchard Creek Lodge at
6:30 PM. Each meeting is the right time to
share your writings, no matter how perfect or

The Board of LHUAG developed and

out to the membership on July 3. The survey
was available during the month of July and
the results will be tabulated and reviewed in

about our members and their familiarity with
and use of Apple products. From this data the
Program Committee will choose meeting topics
and support services that further meet the
needs of the club. It is also an attempt to gain
more insight into the specific types of devices
our members have so we can focus our topics
towards possible new trends device ownership.

Square & Compass Club
BY BETTE AHRENS
Our July 14th luncheon was attended by
eleven brothers and sisters at Kim’s Country
Kitchen in downtown Lincoln. It was a hot
summer day and everyone was happy to be in
a cool environment enjoying delicious food.
We have learned that Joan Schabilion has
been quite ill following a fall at her son’s pool
last month. She was hospitalized for several
days and is now in rehab while the severe
injury to her leg heals which may take up to
3 months. We send her our best wishes for a
swift recovery and hope she is “back on her
feet” real soon.
Looking Ahead: Beermann’s has once
again re-opened in downtown Lincoln. It is a
special landmark and we are looking forward
to going there for our August lunch on the
11th. Then, on September 8th, Jesse and
Carol Thompson have invited us to their ranch
in Newcastle for a Kentucky Fried Chicken
luncheon on their patio. Further information
will be forthcoming but in the meantime,
mark your calendar for these two upcoming
get-togethers. Hopefully many will be able to
attend these events.
Do you have a favorite restaurant you
would like to recommend? We are always
interested in trying new and different places
for our monthly get-togethers. Let me know
of your preferences.
If you have a background or interest in
Masonry and/or Eastern Star, we invite you to

Genealogy Club
BY ELAINE WHITE
For our August meeting, we’ll be having
Laurie Markham share information on
familysearch.org. For those new to genealogy
this is a free website that has a plethora of
resources to help you in your family search.
I believe Laurie has said about 70% of the
resources available have not even been indexed
yet so she will be sharing both the basics about
the site and more information on how to access
some of the unindexed resources. In June
familysearch.org was off line for updating of the
site so we might even get to hear what’s new!
Laurie Markham is an Associate Director
at the FamilySearch Library in Sacramento.
She loves to teach and is especially passionate
about familysearch.org. She began doing
family history research as a young girl helping
her mother search and record facts about
ancestors.
In addition to monthly speakers on topics
of relevance to genealogy there are currently
two special interest groups that members only
can take advantage of. The DNA special
interest group and the newly revived Irish
Group are two examples.
The meeting, as usual is the third Monday
of the month, August 15 at 6:30pm in the Kilaga
Springs Presentation Hall. Members sign in a
bit earlier to get a raffle ticket for the door prize
that for August will be a 24” LED monitor.
The social will be held across the hall after
the meeting where refreshments will be served
and you can avail yourself of an opportunity
to chat with others who have similar interests.

Alzheimer’s/Dementia
Caregivers
BY JEFF ANDERSEN
On even-numbered months of the year,
we typically invite speakers to our meeting
to talk about some aspect of the mystifying
journey of Caregiving. For our August 24th
meeting, we will have Richard Martinez telling
us about the plan he devised for his wife Janet
to maximize the joy of maintaining a quality
life together in the face of adversity. Rich
has made this presentation to a number of
professional groups and left no one unmoved
by his plan for loving care and preservation of
dignity in their relationship. For this meeting,
you are requested to arrive before the meeting
starts at 1:00PM. This presentation is being
video-taped, so late arrivals cannot be admitted
since they would disrupt the recording process.
Two events of interest are coming up:
(1) In anticipation of the Sacramento Walk
to End Alzheimer’s, a special presentation is
scheduled for Thursday, September 8th in
Presentation Hall at Kilaga Springs Lodge.
Laura Wayman will be the first of our speakers
at this event, followed by Michelle Johnston,
the Regional Director of the Northern
California Chapter of the Alzheimer’s
Association. Whether you are approaching or
involved in a Caregiving situation, you need
to attend this informative and enlightening
event. You care, and we do, too.
(2) October 1 is the date for the
Sacramento Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The
SCLHCA (the most auspicious Jeannine
Balcombe) is planning a bus service to and from
the WtEA event, and will include a lunch after
the Walk before we return to Orchard Creek
Lodge. More information will come shortly.

be detrimental to their health and well-being.
Members will be invited to participate in
exercises that are an integral part of this new fall
prevention program. Kevin who became blind

Bosom Buddies
BY VAL SINGER
Well, the summer is waning and so am I.
My tenure as president of Bosom Buddies is
over and I am so looking forward to working
with the new leadership. Every one of you
ladies has contributed to my enjoyment as
your leader and I thank you with all my heart.
The August meeting will be a luncheon for
the new officers. Cindy has found a very nice
place in Rocklin by the name of Rubino’s. A
menu selection will be mailed to all members.
It is a lovely place and I know all will enjoy it.
Your new officers are: Peggy Ryan,
President; Val Singer, Vice President; Corrine
Ehlers, Secretary; and Cheryl Karleskint,
Treasurer. Thanks to all for volunteering
your time to keep this wonderful group going.
At the core meeting in July, we decided
to redo the tri-fold brochure describing what
Bosom Buddies is all about. Some of the
information on the old form was outdated
and so it will be redone. A part of this form
contains testimonials from members describing
what being a member of Bosom Buddies has
meant to them. Please send your thoughts
to me and I will pass them on to the revising
committee.
One testimonial is as follows: “Great
group of ladies experienced in dealing with
cancer (not only with ourselves but with family
members). Members are anxious to help and
provide support to ladies in need. Family helps
and is crucial but many of us with good families
and friends still feel alone (at least at first)
because others don’t truly understand what
we feel. Whether we’re diagnosed with Stage
1 or Stage 4, the news puts us on the floor and
we are never, ever the same.”
“Bosom Buddies is here so you don’t have
to do this alone.” (Mary Shelton)
Bosom Buddies has been so grateful for
the grant given to us by the Foundation. We
now can concentrate on keeping our members
comfortable and happy. As we all know, stress
is the biggest part of illnesses. A laugh is better
than a pill any time…
We meet at Orchard Creek Lodge on the
second Thursday of each month at 1:00 pm.
If you have any questions regarding
Bosom Buddies, please contact: Marianne
Smith (408-1818) or Patty McCuen (408-4185).
If you wish to go to lunch at the Meridians
before the meeting, please call Val Singer (916645-8553) and she will make the reservation.
We end each meeting by holding hands
and saying: “Together we are strong. Together
we will make a difference. Together we will
survive.” And, we will, hopefully with a little
fun…

Healthy Eating Club
BY DON RICKGAUER
It seems the least
understood and least
appreciated nutrient in our
diets is fiber. The Institute of
Medicine recommends that
women get a minimum of 25
grams of fiber a day and that
men get at least 38 grams.
The Standard American Diet
(S.A.D.), however, provides us
an average of just 17 grams. So
how do we meet the minimum
requirements in our diets?
Probably the main culprit in our shortage of
fiber is that our diets are largely meat-based,
and meat provides no fiber at all. Nearly all
vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and fruits contain
all the fiber we need when they comprise the
recommended share of our overall diets. Beans
are particularly rich in fiber.
The list of benefits from adequate fiber
in our diets that researchers have confirmed
are nearly endless, some of which are: weight
loss over extended periods, reduced risk of
Type II diabetes, reduced risk of heart disease,
reduced risk of certain cancers, healthier gut
bacteria, improved elimination of body wastes
and elimination of toxins from the GI tract.
Anyone making a deliberate effort to take
in more fiber should consult with a medical
or dietary professional. The Institute of
Health recommends that the effort should
not be too rapid and should be monitored by
professionals.
The Healthy Eating Club’s stated
mission is to educate our members about the
importance of healthy eating and to improve
our relationship with food. All our general
meetings and smaller gatherings center around
Farmers’ Market Scene
food topics and food-related activities. We
invite guest speakers to our meetings to talk on
various food-related topics, and we have one
members-only potluck supper each year at the
Sports Pavilion where we share healthy dishes
prepared by the members. At our monthly
general meetings we discuss such diverse
topics as upcoming site tours of food-related
businesses, local farmers’ market schedules,
how to make common dishes healthier and a
mix of other food-related topics currently in the
news. We sample healthy foods in the Kilaga
Kitchen following each monthly meeting,
guests welcome. We encourage suggestions

The LHIC will have our second Murder
Mystery dinner show On September 11. Who
will meet an “untimely end” this year? Who
did it, and what was their motive? Hmmm. The
answers to those questions can be found while
eating a delicious dinner at Catta Verdera,
and will be preceded by a social hour. This
dinner show will be followed a week later
(September 18) by a bocce tournament: the
“matzoballs” vs. the “meatballs”. Then the
month of October will see two activities: an
outdoor Wine Tasting and Appetizer event
on the 11th, and the Annual Membership
Meeting on the 14th.
For more information about any of
these events visit the Club’s website at
www.lhitalianclub.org or contact Activities
Directors: Lilly LaPira at 434-8843 for the
September events, and Karen Zimmerman at
543-7418 for the October events. This website
also has information about Club membership,
or you can call Membership Director Virginia
Halstenrud at 543-3293 with your questions.

Now that we are in the middle of the
summer travel season members of the group
are all over the country. In mid-month the
RV club went to Zephyr Cove on the shores
of beautiful blue Lake Tahoe. Wagon Masters
Al and Nancy Vita planned for a catered pizza
dinner served beneath the pines overlooking
the lake. They also sent some of the group
out on the Tahoe Queen’s dinner cruise to
Emerald Bay. Other members are off to
Oregon, Washington, Clio, Glacier National
Park, and points east. One group was headed
to Area 51 in Nevada, but haven’t heard back
from them yet, something to do with the Juno
probe to Jupiter? In September the group will
be traveling to Clio and Bodega Bay.
Trips planned for 2017 include Chula
Vista, Pomo, San Juan Bautista, and Calistoga.
The club meets the second Thursday of each at
4pm at Kilaga Springs kitchen room. Meetings
are followed by a potluck, a chance for guests
and new members to meet club members;
discuss past trips; suggest possible destinations;

Rods & Relics
BY ELNA RAGAN
July Car Show events slowed down to a
more manageable pace. The July 4th Parade
had Mayor Spencer Short riding with Club
member Ralph Garcia in his white ’33 Ford
Convertible. On July 14, 13 of our members
visited the Auburn Oaks Care Center on
Bell Road. Over 50 of the residents came
outside to see our display of cars at this “Feel
Good” event. One of the residents asked Club
President, Rich Ragan, if there was a ’31 Ford
on display. Yes, there was one: Kent Parsell
had his car there. The resident talked about
how her family had had a ’31 Ford. Seeing this
vehicle brought a big smile to her face. This,
and other stories that were heard, makes these
events so rewarding!
A number of our Car Club members
journeyed over to the “Grillin and Chillin”
event in Dixon on Saturday, July 16.
Looking forward to August, major events
include Hot August Nights in Reno on the
2nd – 7th. There will be a huge number of
interesting vehicles on display. On Saturday,
August 20, a number of our members will
be participating in the Butch Gardner Save
Our Cars, an ACCC Show at Vintage Ford in
Rancho Cordova.
The Rods & Relics will be the featured Car
Club at the final Farmers’ Market in downtown
Lincoln scheduled for Thursday, August 25.

NEV Club
BY BARB LAMMERDING
The Neighborhood Electric Vehicle Club
members filled the Orchard Creek Solarium
for the July 19 luncheon meeting. Everyone
enjoyed visiting with their table buddies and
the lunch was delicious. Our speaker, Gary
Leonard, presented a fun and interesting
program. We are fortunate to have such lovely
facilities here at Del Webb.
It’s Barbecue and bingo time. This will be
a summertime special social for the NEV Club
members and your friends are welcome to join
us at the BBQ. We will meet on Sunday, August
21 at the Orchard Creek Sports Pavilion at 1:00
pm. BBQ menu includes: Ball Roast Beef,
Green Salad, Hot Ciabatta Bread, Barbecued
Chicken, Ranch Beans, Sodas and water and
cookies for dessert. Price is $18. Please send

1104 Picket Fence Lane, Lincoln 95648. If you
have questions you can call Joan at 408-0011.
The Bingo games will follow the luncheon.
Winners will receive $5 gift cards. You’ll want
to join in the fun for this BBQ and Bingo.
The next NEV meeting will be held on
Tuesday, October 18 in Presentation Hall at
10 a.m. Just a quick reminder: We are having
quarterly NEV meetings now, January, April,
July and October. In December we will have
the Christmas Party/Dinner. If you are new to
SCLH or if you have been thinking about
joining the NEV Club, we invite you to attend
a meeting and join our group. You will learn
interesting and informative NEV facts that
will be a benefit to you.
Oh yes, ten NEVs from the Club were in
the 4th of July Parade. All the vehicles were
decorated with lots of red, white, and blue!
Very festive, and many balloons were flying
around. Handfuls of candies were handed
out along the parade route along with cold
bottles of water and also some bottles of
bubbles. Lots of enjoyable moments made
the day very pleasant.
If you want more information about the
Club you can call Dan Gilliam, the President,
at 209-3946.

The Lincoln Hills Amateur Radio Group
is for amateur radio enthusiasts who operate
the W6LHR repeater for Lincoln Hills’
residents with an amateur radio license. The
Group conducts a weekly radio network at 7
PM every Monday evening on the W6LHR
Repeater at 443.2250 MHz. The LHAR Group
meets at 6:30 PM every Monday at the South
Lincoln Hills Entry Facility to share amateur
radio information and discuss upcoming local
events.
In June, members joined the Western
Placer County Amateur Radio Club in the
Annual Field Day Event on 25-26 June to
practice remote operations similar to those
they could encounter during a major disaster.
Members contacted other Amateur Radio
Clubs holding a similar Field Day to sharpen
their operating procedures when operating off
the electrical grid in a remote area. The goal
was to make contact with all 50 states, but they
fell short missing a few New England states
and Texas, with many amateur radio bands
silent this year due to the low sunspot activity.
The next big event will be the Western
Placer County Amateur Radio Club Ham Fest
(Swap Meet) on Saturday, 17 September at
McBean Park. More details on vendors and
activities next month!
Additional information about the LHAR
Group can be found on their new website

This is a presentation that you will not
want to miss. Jerry Maschino, a Lincoln Hills
veteran will be the featured speaker at the
general meeting August 18, 2016, 1:00pm in
the Kilaga Springs Presentation Hall. Jerry
and his wife Wynne are directors of the Ernie
Pyle Legacy Foundation. Wynne a cousin of
Pyle and Jerry, an experienced creator of nonprofit organizations were contacted by Indiana
University to start a non-profit foundation for
their most famous alumnus, Ernie Pyle. Jerry’s
presentation will not only tell us about Ernie
Pyle, WWII war correspondent and creator of
G.I. Joe, but what he and Wynne and other
family members went through to establish the
Ernie Pyle Legacy Foundation.
The Foundation is committed to
upholding and fostering ongoing recognition
of the contributions of war correspondent
Ernie Pyle to the military, the families of
soldiers who were touched by his reporting
and professional journalists. Pyle had an
intimate style of combat reporting, generally
writing columns from the perspective of the
soldier. Jerry Maschino stated “every Mom
would read the newspaper looking for their
son’s name”. Pyle went ashore at Normandy
on June 7, 1944 and wrote about the enlisted
men rather than the battle they were fighting.
President Harry Truman stated that “Pyle told
the story of the American fighting man as the
American fighting man wanted it told”. The
men of the 77th infantry erected a monument
which still stands at the spot that Pyle was killed.
The inscription reads, “At this spot the 77th
infantry lost a Buddy, Erie Pyle April 18, 1945”.

do not collect dues, but on occasion will “pass
the hat” for donations. These donations, and
any excess funds from our annual potluck, pay
for wildlife rescue presentations.
August is our quiet period for birding
activity. There is no general meeting and no
walks are scheduled. However, here are some
activities to look forward to in September.
Unless otherwise noted, our birding trips meet
for carpooling at the far western end of the
Orchard Creek parking lot, near the fitness
center indoor pool. For longer walks, bringing
water and snacks is a good idea.
Sep 2, Fri, 8:00AM: Miners Ravine,
Roseville. We will start from the top of the
hill off Stone Point Drive. This takes us from
the top of the canopy down to the bottom of
the ravine. We usually walk about two miles
on paved path and this walk is a bit uphill at
the end. We should be back to Sun City by
lunch time.
Sep 12, Mon, 1:30PM: Monthly meeting,
Kilaga Presentation Hall. This month will
feature Rudy Darling, current president of
the Sierra Foothills Audubon Society. Rudy’s
presentation will be about owls.
Sep 23, Fri, 8:00AM: Lincoln Wastewater
Treatment Plant, Fiddyment Rd. As described
by trip leader Paul MacGarvey: We will drive
out to the Lincoln Wastewater Treatment Plant
and chase the ducks around the ponds. It’s
an interesting phenomenon. The minute they
see the first car on the edge of the pond they
all swim to the other side. We will be looking
for early migrants.

LH Shooting Group
BY ED KASPER
The purpose of the Shooting Group is
to meet neighbors and make friends among
the Sun City Lincoln Hills residents who are
interested in shooting or reloading and to
give these folks an opportunity to participate
together in shooting sports activities. People
interested in Shotgun, rifle or pistol shooting
can contact each other through the Group and
get together at local or nearby shooting ranges.
The Group has a very active skeet and
trap program. We meet every Tuesday morning
at 8:00 AM, during the warmer spring and
summer months and at 9:00 AM, during the
cooler fall and winter months, to shoot Trap,
International Trap and Sporting Clays. We
meet again on Thursday morning at using the
above times to shoot Skeet and 5 Stand. These
shoots are held at the Coon Creek Trap and
Skeet range. This is a local public range. Please
contact us for directions and to determine the
hours we are shooting. Skeet shooters can
participate in a weekly handicapped event.
Participants shoot two rounds of skeet. The
scores are then adjusted with handicap points.
This allows shooters of all different abilities
to shoot in the same round and still have a
chance to win the event. After scored shooting
the range is available for Skeet, Trap, Sporting
Clays and 5 Stand practice.
Local ranges offer competitive trap
shooting programs sponsored by the American
Michelle Cowles
Serving Your
Real Estate Needs in
Sun City Lincoln Hills
Trapshooting Association (ATA) and the
Pacific International Trap Association (PITA).
As our skills and experience improve some of
our members are competing in these events.
These competitions are held at the Coon Creek
range and other public ranges in the area.
If you are interested in shooting please
join. People, who used to shoot or reload
regularly, but have been out of these sports
for years, are welcome and encouraged to
take it up again.
Each month we also gather at a different
members home for hors d’oeuvres and drinks.
This gives us an opportunity to enjoy each
other’s company and meet the member’s
spouses. If you are interested in joining us,
contact John Kightlinger at 916-408-3928 for
details of our next get together.
Membership is free. Our group has no
dues.
Residents interested in trap or skeet
shooting can contact: John Kightlinger 916408-3928 [email protected]
Residents interested in rifle or pistol
shooting can contact Jim Trifilo at 916-4346341 or [email protected]

LH Cyclists
BY TOM FRADY
According to Witt and Westlake, it was
a 3-10 Hz oscillation of the bicycle steering
assembly, namely the front fork with the wheel
and handlebars. As the front contact describes
a sinusoidal path, the steering bearings
connecting the front fork to the rear frame
displace both laterally and in roll.
Yeah, that is exactly what I was going to
say, although I’m not sure what my sinuses
had to do with it.
Quality
I had just climbed Spooner Grade at
Lake Tahoe and turned left on to Highway 50,
heading toward the lake on the long downhill,
at 43 mph. Suddenly, the “mystery wobble”.
If you have done much riding, it’s happened
to you, too. It is a rare event, but terrifying
to the unsuspecting, and we never expect it.
I was able to clamp my knees to the top
tube, slow down slowly and eventually pull over
out of traffic. I don’t know how I kept upright.
My friend, who was riding behind me, thought
I was fooling around. It was the first time it
had ever happened to me and I was sure my
bike was falling apart. I was afraid to get back
on it, even after checking every quick release,
spoke and nut.
The second time it happened to me, I
had just started a ride with friends from the
top of Highway 89 on our way to Downieville,
via Highway 49. There was a horrendous side
wind and although it didn’t seem to bother
by two companion much, I got the wobbles
almost immediately. A large truck went by
and nearly sent me off the road. I traveled
the long downhill at about 10 miles an hour.
I figured it was the wind.
The third and last time was at Lake
Nacimiento, near Paso Robles. Right at the
start of a ride heading to Monterey, there was
a steep downhill. The wobble started. I slowed
and was able to make it down. On the next
downhill, I coasted a little faster. No problem.
By the third downhill I was back to full speed.
I later postulated that I was shivering in the
cold 6:00am start, setting up the oscillation.
It turns out that human shivering is the same
frequency as the 3-10 Hz steering oscillation.
Who knew?

(cont’ from page 24)
I know it’s hard to believe, but I actually
did some research on this topic. I read a cyclist
forum, where some of the answers sounded like
the writers/riders were wearing tinfoil helmets.
I also read two very scientific articles I barely
understood. OK. I didn’t understand them
at all, but I did get this from my exhaustive
research: there is no agreement on what
causes the Mystery Wobble. Some suggest it
is gyroscopic forces. Others said something
about fish and the word “resonance” was used
often. Or too much weight distributed to the
saddle causes the frame to pivot around it.
What? Or, a bike becomes too stable and
corrects itself. Huh?
There does seem to be some agreement
that, counter to conventional wisdom, loose
head bearings or frame misalignment are not
the cause. Maybe. Low spoke-count wheels
might or might not contribute. Or high speed
and low torsional stiffness. They have pills
for that.
What makes it mysterious is that the
wobble doesn’t happen every time under the
same conditions. After pulling over at Tahoe,
I continued down the hill with no problem. It
hadn’t happened coming down the hill from
Emerald Bay. It’s not comforting to know the
potential for shimmy is always there.
Whatever the reason for the wobble, there
is actually some agreement on what to do when
it happens to you.
1. Clamp your knees to the top tube.
This can have a dampening effect on the
gyroscope or oscillation or something.
2. Come off your saddle just a bit (don’t
stand up) and put your pedals in the 6/12 o’clock
position, lowering the center of gravity.
3. Loosen your grip on the handle bars
and bend your elbows, putting more of your
weight to the front of the bike.
4. In some cases, pedaling or hitting a
rougher road can stop the shimmy.
And the next time you are riding down
Park, try not to think about The Mystery
Wobble.

LH Water Volleyball
BY LINDA S.
Our first outdoor-water volleyball event
was a huge success. Playing in the fresh air and
elements is always fun.
Ginger is in charge of our orientation
process for recreational play. She was kind
enough to provide the following information.
Until January 2016, new members would
simply show up, jump into the pool, and give
it a try. There was no requirement to have
knowledge on the rules, rotation, or the basic
skills of serving, passing, setting, or hitting.
As a result, quite often the rallies were short,
and the play was often held up to explain the
goals to the new players.
Then, with a considerable amount of
work, and the continued help of our wonderful
volunteers; they came up with a more organized
method to streamline this learning curve. This
is very important because the club has such a
limited amount of pool time.
An orientation must be attended by
each new member, regardless of their past
experience of playing volleyball. It usually only
takes about thirty minutes to complete. Even
less if you already have a volleyball background.
A recreational subcommittee volunteer
facilitates the orientation. Topics covered
include the play schedule, how to rotate, keep
score, rules on how to set up and take down
the equipment, play and training tips, details
about our club website, social events, etc.
Next, the player is to contact our mentor
coordinator. Currently that is Harriet, and she
does a fine job. Harriet matches up the new
player with a mentor, to evaluate their skills
and abilities in order to determine where they

would be the best fit. They will then be assigned
to level one, two, or three. Once the skills can
be demonstrated, the member has the chance
to advance to the next level. Please refer to our
calendar located on our exciting new website if
interested. http://www.lhwatervolleyball.com/.
The play is in the Kilaga Springs Indoor pool.
In addition, our trainer Mel holds weekly
training sessions, for the members that desire
to hone in on their skills for promotion. Any
member is welcome to attend these training
classes, recreational and competitive players
alike.
With all of these new things in place, we
believe that every player feels much more
welcome and secure by knowing what to expect
when they show up to play. The end result has
been a tremendous improvement in the level
of play for the entire recreational level group.
It has also had a positive impact by filtering
up into the competitive play, by encouraging
ball control.
Regarding competitive play, the steering
committee has finalized and approved a new
skill tabulation sheet. This will soon be posted
on our website. It raises awareness on what
skills to focus on. It is also a useful tool for use
by the captains each week. Remember, it’s all
about longer rallies.
Ratings are coming up in September.
Consider attending Mel’s classes.

Mad Hatters Bocce Group
BY PAUL MAC GARVEY
The maintenance on the Bocce Courts is
finished for now and all the courts are usable.
To recap the work done, they have leveled the
front eight courts, added a layer of decomposed
granite to those courts to compensate for a
thinner artificial turf, replaced the artificial
turf with new turf that has a shorter nap, and
replaced all of the side and end rubbers. The
back four courts have had all the side and end
rubbers replaced. It seems they spent endless
hours in the hot sun rolling the courts to get
them as flat as possible.
We have only played two sessions on the
new surfaces but overall they seem to be much
better than the rolling hills we were used to.
We must confess it is a great pleasure to bank
a ball off the side wall and have it go where
you thought it would based on physics rather
than some mystical tangent based on how old
the rubber was.
Our first impression is that the new
surfaces and rubbers play much better than
the old surfaces and sidewalls, but they are
not perfect. We noticed some roll off on a
couple of the courts. The real test will be the
winter rains. We won’t find out how well the
new surfaces really hold up until next spring.
If you’d like to try the “new” courts please feel
free to join us every Thursday morning at 8:00
AM for our weekly Bocce sessions.

Kiwanis Club of Lincoln Foothills
Membership Drive
Lincoln is so lucky to have so many
wonderful service clubs looking to serve
the needs of the community. One of the
newer clubs is the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln
Foothills, which was chartered just over a
year ago. The club is focused on the needs
of the children of Lincoln and in it’s first
year has made great strides in serving those
needs. But while much has been done, there
is so much more to do.
The 30 club members have worked very
hard this year and have much to be proud of.
They contributed $6000 to the CC Coppin
library, which had not had a major update in
over 20 years. They started a K-Kids program,
which teaches leadership and community
service to elementary age children. They
supported a BUGS (bringing up grades)
homework club where they help children with
developing reading and math skills. They
adopted 14 families for the holidays and
provided food, clothing and presents. Finally,
they provided healthy snacks to 3 local schools
so that no child would go without during snack
time.
Next year the club wants to continue and
grow all of these programs as well as expand its
footprint to help those with disabilities in the
community. This work takes dedicated people
who are ready to get involved and help those
less fortunate than themselves. To find those
people the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln Foothills is
holding a membership drive meeting on August
22nd starting at 4pm at 1854 Deep Springs
Lane, Lincoln CA. If you are ready to give
back, come to the meeting and learn about all
the possibilities and meet the current members.
They are a motivated group of people that not
only wants to give back, but enjoys having a
great time with each other.
If you are interested in learning more
about the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln Hills or
learning more about how you can get involved
please call Rae Cook at 916-251-6241.

Play It Again, Sam…
Proving to be Popular
BY CRAIG STULTS
Evidently the popularity of the Lincoln
Hills Players Club summer production of
Play It Again, Sam is a highly anticipated hit
show with tickets going early and quickly.
One of Woody Allen’s earliest, funniest
and wackiest plays seems to be a big draw
this production at the Kilaga Springs Lodge
Presentation Hall. Hansen says, “it brings
our audience closer to us and every seat
in the venue is a good seat. The smaller,
intimate seating really makes this a great
experience for our patrons.”

The Lincoln Hills Foundation Introduces
a New Transportation Program
BY JEAN EBENHOLTZ
If you would like to attend the free
movies at Kilaga Springs Presentation Hall
on the first Monday of the month, but have
no transportation to get you there, the
Lincoln Hills Foundation is initiating a Pilot
Transportation Program meant for you.
We are offering a FREE ride to the
movies. This door-to-door service will take
you to the movies and back home at no cost
to you. Movies usually start at 1:30 and
last until about 3:00 or 3:30. Pick-up for
the movies will be at about 12:45 so there
will be lots of time to be seated before the
movie begins. The service will be provided
by screened Lincoln Hills volunteer drivers
using their own vehicles.
For more information and to register
for a ride, call Jean Ebenholtz at 434-6852.
I will visit with you and explain the program.
To reiterate - this program is intended
for those who would not otherwise be able
to attend the movies because of lack of
transportation. As a start-up, we expect to
be able to offer transportation to the first 6
residents who call and register.
Hope to see you at the movies!
Lincoln Hills Foundation Supports
Local AARP Tax Aide Program

Pat Shafer, Ken Reiss, Mike Cox, MaryBeth Quallick, Steve Garavito. Front row: Sandy
Klagge, Becky Nicholson, Frances Swanson. Not Pictured: Jan Weaver
The Lincoln Hills Foundation recently
granted $2,000 to the AARP Tax Aide
Program for the purchase of two computers
and related peripheral items, so that
volunteers can provide more efficient
service to the seniors they assist. Last
year 20 Lincoln Hills residents volunteered
their services with the Tax Aide Program to
prepare and file electronically, Federal and
California Income Tax returns for seniors.
These Tax Counselors were assisted by 20
additional volunteers providing support
services (scheduling, greeting, document
organization etc.) which helps make the
program both user friendly and efficient.
During the 2015 tax year more than
750 local taxpayers were assisted with
preparation of their income tax returns.
It is expected that with the new
computers available for the 2016 tax year,
efficiency will be improved making clients,
counselors and greeters happy.

for the many patrons who anticipate the
comedy “one-liners” guaranteed during
this stage production. The story is about
a recently divorced movie reviewer, Allan
Felix (played by Ken Reiss), who relies
on his favorite movie hero, Humphrey
Bogart, via dream sequences, to guide
him through his re-entry into the rocky
dating scene.
Director Bob Murdock is excited that
the performance will have a large number
of seasoned actors in the cast. “Having
these experienced cast members makes it
that much more realistic for those persons
who may have seen the show on Broadway
and more pleasurable for those who are
seeing the show for the first time.”
Ron Hansen, Vice President of the
Players Group, is pleased we are presenting
Tickets for reserved seating are $12
each and are on sale now---but are selling

LH Tennis Group
BY BJ WHITE
LHTG would like to thank Chris O’Keefe
for the new sign-in chalkboard and the
repositioning of USTA banners on court 2.
The chalkboard was a real challenge to locate!!
Drop-In tennis is held 8 to 10 A.M. during
PDST (Pacific daylight savings time), on courts
1, 2, 8 and 9. All new and current residents are
invited to play. It’s a great way to meet people
and get into a group that plays more often. All
levels play together so if you haven’t played
in a while, it enables you to find your “niche”.
Fall LITT is another event to help get you
established. Players are put on a “captained”
team and once on a team, you will be notified
when you play. Start date for this is midSeptember. More details to follow as to day
and time.
LHTG semi-annual meeting was held at
KS, June 30th. Each LHTG Board member
reviewed their job descriptions as to what has
been done and what is still coming up. Social
Chairpersons, Polly Smith and Pam Geernaert
reported the dinner/dance will be held at
Beerman’s in Lincoln. Ladies Christmas
luncheon on December 8th at Catta Verdera
while the men’s will be held at Thunder Valley.
Tournament Chairman David Mateer
announced Mixed Doubles tournament,
sponsored by Mr.Pickle’s to be held on
September 29 and Oktoberfest October 29,
sponsored by Schaack Physical Therapy.
Details will be available as time gets nearer.
Pete Sato, Strategic Initiative Task Force
Chairman, gave an informative synopsis on the
status of this group. May things are on the table
with much more studying of each to be made
before any final recommendations are made.

Table Tennis
BY HENK VAN EMPEL
A cool ice cream event was the work of
Cindi Rinde on Sunday June 26. We stopped
playing and took the time, during the scooping,
to make the newer members feel at home.
Thank you Cindi!
A hot event will take place on July 23 in
Roseville. The new president, Ron Hudson,
invited us to come and play and enjoy the
BBQ hot dogs. Not easy to turn down. We
frequently have players from Roseville over and
in turn we know the way to their tables. So can
we expand the exchanges beyond Roseville?
Maybe Reno or Flagstaff?
Since we are in a party mood, note our
annual Holiday party on Thursday December
15 at SKIPPOLINI’S Restaurant at 5.00 PM
in Rocklin.
Tim and Bob continue their efforts to
make us better players. Tim turns beginners
into players and teaches the correct way
of playing Table Tennis. Bob and his robot
improve our skills with speed and complete
usage of your paddle. Thank you, thank you.

Ladies Golf 18-Holers
BY CANDICE KOROPP
The summer season kicked off with two
playdays on the Hills, at the end of June. First,
we had a Better Nine game. The teams were
balanced by handicap and the team chose which
nine they wanted to count. The team of Edda
Ashe, Mikie Briggs, Lyn Chauvet and Candy
Koropp took first by one stroke over the second
place team of Pat Robinson, Carol Tilley, Patti
Tilton, and Liza Valencia. Koropp’s birdies
helped to secure the win. There was a tie for
third between the team of Judy Dong, Susan
Peterson and Karen Thom and the team of
Ida Cicci, Wanda Ivaldi, Laverne Taylor and
Rosie Warren. Chris Biswell, Renee Honnoll,
Valerie McElroy and Carol Perry took fourth.
Only ten feet from the flag, Ofra Unger was
the closest-to-the pin on Hole Seven.
The last day of June was a special event for
the 18-hole ladies. The Red, White and Blue
tournament brought 66 lady-patriots to the
course, for a beat-the heat-start at 7:30. This
was a little more than one of our special events.
We honored the memory of Bev Ansbro, in the
company of her three daughters, who traveled
quite a distance to be a part of the celebration.
Moreover, near to the teebox on hole four, and
not coincidentally near where she lived, a crape
myrtle stands with an engraved stone marker at
its base in tribute to Bev. Although cancer took
her much too early, she is fondly remembered
as a founding member of the LHLGXVIII.
And, as tournament chair for several years,
she was often the first to arrive and the last
to leave on Thursdays. Bev continued to run
the tournaments after she was unable to play
herself, but she joined us for lunch with her
laptop, busily entering our scores. Many of
us can recall the day she got her Hole-in-One.
It was a particularly hot day and she was only
going to play a few holes, as her health would
allow, but she got the ace and had to complete
18 holes for it to count. What fun it was for
her to come in and share it with many who
waited for her to finish.
The Red, White and Blue teams were
captained by Rosie Warren, Karen Thom
and Valerie McElroy (respectively), our
tournament chairs. To kick off the morning,
Darlene Dyer, another founding member now
retired from the club, joined us for the pledge
of allegiance and the singing of “My Country
Tis of Thee”. Then, the players adjourned to
the tee boxes for a shotgun start. The Blue
Team had 717 strokes, winning over the Red
and White Teams that tied with 693. All of the
Blue Team members shared in the prize money:
Edda Ashe, Lissi Bedford, Kathi Botelho,
Mikie Briggs, Sue Cirerol, Sally Ennis, Sylvia
Feldman, Nancy Hastings, Renee Honnoll,
Yeong Hur, June James, Kathy Kimura, Candy
Koropp, Lora Masche, Valerie McElroy, Pat
Morgan, Carol Perry, Millie Sams, Donna
Sanderson, Donna Sosko, Julie Storer, and
Jody Watson. Karen McGraw captured the
CTP on Hole 16, as her ball rolled to one
foot, four and one half inches from the cup.
Congrats to all of the winners. Crying towels
will be awarded to the losing teams in July.
There is next year.

devout Christian, heavily involved in the
Bridgeway Christian Church, a scripturebased community church located in
Roseville. After Jim died, Marilyn stepped
up her efforts, especially her work in
Christian missions.
“I like to take care of the less fortunate
and especially the young,” she said,
“Missions are my focus now.”
Marilyn is a member of Mission
Builders International RV Association,
a volunteer placement organization.
One of the organizations they work with
is Youth with a Mission (YWAM), a
global organization dedicated to training
and sending volunteers to Christian
missionaries since 1960. YWAM’s goal is
“to know God and to make Him known.”
She recently returned from a mission in
Dinuba, south of Fresno.
Finding a need and filling it is nothing
new to Marilyn. Back in the 1970’s,
when her sons were young, she started a
grassroots campaign in Lafayette to help
kids get off drugs. “I was a nurse and
DR. VICTORIA MOSUR D.D.S.
saw what was coming into the hospitals,”
she said.
The program was so successful it
became a model for a California state
program, “California for a Drug Free
Youth,” created with the help of 15 other
volunteers from across the state in 1980,
and later, a national program, “National
Federation of Parents.” She believes in
the kind of programs that are constantly
operating to serve our young people.
“Once a year doesn’t mean very much,”
she said. “You have to do it all the time.”
Times have changed, and according
to Marilyn, the number of volunteers
out there isn’t what it used to be. “With
both parents often working, there aren’t
as many volunteers now,” she said about
youth programs.
Today, she volunteers at mission
camps, usually helping with the cooking
for the participants. The organizations she
has served with include: The Gathering
Inn, Feed the Hungry, Gleanings for the
Hungry, and Samaritan’s Purse.
“There are more than 14 million
children just in our country going to bed
hungry every night,” she said.
The needs of others have propelled
Marilyn’s need to reach out. “There are
a lot of hungry people in the world,” she
said. “I get so much satisfaction out of
helping.”
When she’s not on the road in her RV
or on her way to a mission, you can find
Marilyn socializing in her village, helping
her neighbors, or spending time with her
dog Marley, a protective, furry Havanese.
What are her tips for a happy and
healthy life? “Set a schedule for yourself,
get up and move, and remember – if those
fattening foods are not in your house, you
can’t eat them!”

LH Thursday PM
Bowling League
BY PAT FISK
Our long hot summer continues. Some of
us try to keep our bowling skills lukewarm with
the relaxed bowling of summer leagues, but I
know we’re all itching to begin the fall-winter
season with its promise of friendly competition,
GSA-USBC awards and cash prizes.
Our Lincoln Hills Thursday PM League
is a senior, mixed league of four-person
teams whose popularity has had no difficulty
maintaining 28 teams for more than a
decade. While we began as a club under the
Lincoln Hills Del Webb umbrella, we became
independent a long time ago and now have
members from other residential areas as well.
You’re in luck because we do have a
half-dozen or so openings for the upcoming
season. So if you’ve been looking for a wellorganized league that is both competitive and
fun, please think about joining us.
Our fall season will begin on September

SCLH Duplicate Bridge Club
BY PATRICK CRENSHAW
Congratulations to Squeak Connor for
earning the ACBL rank of Life Master, Gold.
Squeak is certainly a wonderful example of a
winning Bridge player, but she is also a pleasure
to encounter at the bridge table partner or
opponent, win or lose. I’m sure we are all
happy that she has won this honor.
A regularly scheduled club Board of
Directors meeting was held on July 6, 2016.
Treasurer Jim McElfresh reported that the
club is financially on track with the year 2016
budget. Further, the club has contributed
$671 to charity this year so far. Our Social
Chair, Kay Kerenyi, reported that the recent
social event prior to Wednesday Bridge went
well and will be continued, periodically, on
future Wednesdays. Details of this meeting
are available in the club Minutes published on
the club web page.
The Sutter Buttes Sectional Tournament
will be held August fifth through the seventh
in Yuba City, and a Sacramento Sectional

community center. Both of these opportunities
are close enough to Lincoln that commuting
each day is easily achieved. Get details on these
tournaments from the ACBL web page (http://
www.acbl.org/) when they are made available.
The SCLH duplicate bridge club is a

Thoughts From Jack—
Surgical Socializing
BY JACK FABIAN
Reaching the stage in life referred to
as ‘up in years’, brings on circumstances you
certainly didn’t expect. A good example of
this happened to a very nice lady a few doors
down the street from us. She possessed a great
attitude, very agile and full of energy, and she
decided she would like to be part of the Tap
Dance Team here in Lincoln Hills.
Everything went fine until they found
out she still was using the two original knees
that came with the sperm that initiated her
entrance into this world. What she didn’t know
was that if you want to be welcomed into any
organization we have here, you must arrange
to have some surgery. See your doctor now!
You must understand, surgery is the social
trigger in every club or organization we have
here. If you’re in a group, and you bring up
your recent surgery, you immediately become
the center of attention. People love to discuss
this stuff. Showing the incision is not necessary,
however, it is an option that gives support to
your story.
We’ve been here almost 18 years, and the
most common surgical procedure relates to
the shoulder. No doubt in my mind, if I were
just graduating from school, I would open a
medical supply store that stocked and sold
rotator cuffs, including the deluxe models that
come with bone spurs already on ‘em, along
with the screws needed to fasten the tendons
when you can’t stand the pain anymore.
If you want to be a star, get a bigger scar.
THERE’S NO COMPARISON!

Garden Of Hope
BY C.B. LAZAGA
A thought, an idea set into action, can
produce a wondrous thing. Mona Bass of the
South Placer Benevolent Foundation dreamed
of producing a lovely garden in the town of
Lincoln. She sought out Clyde Martin to
enlarge and dress up the existing Episcopal
Church garden. Clyde took the challenge. He
designed and built the gate and with the help
of the church’s congregation a new garden
was created.
One can see this marvelous garden at 5th
and K Streets. It is a communal garden, tilled
and planted, producing food for the needy in
Lincoln. The fruit of their labor came to benefit
the food banks in Lincoln, thanks to Mona’s
dream. What was believed was conceived and
now achieved.
“What transpired once can be produced
again,” thought Clyde, and now his vision is
producing another reality, the Sacramento
Valley Teen Challenge “Garden of Hope.” It
is a 160’ x 160’ plot of barren ground that will
be watered by its own well (pumps 70 gallons of
water a minute.) It is now being transformed
into a source of life and income for the students
at Alpha Henson Training Center.
Sacramento Valley Teen Challenge is a
Christian organization whose outreach is for
adults who need a helping hand in life.
After this garden is established, the
students will sow, tend and eat of its bounty,
Sacramento Valley Teen Challenge is not
funded by any government programs — it is
funded by charitable giving from churches,
businesses and individuals.
Growing their own produce will give the
students a decent work ethic plus food for their
table. Extra produce will be sold at the local
Farmers’ Market to help pay for other needs
they may have.
Clyde began by building his signature,
redwood gates and corner structures to set
off the new garden. Several member of the
Catholic Church bought $1,200 worth of wire
and then completed the fencing themselves.
Bill Barnes and other members of the
Lincoln Hills Community Church (LHCC)
have stepped forward with monetary donations
($1,000 from their women and men’s ministries)
and have done much of the manual labor
needed. Ray Holley, using a tractor, leveled the
area and spread the gravel for the driveway.
Gary Beebe, owner of BB Industries, donated
the topsoil for the garden and gravel for the
driveway.
U.C. Davis Horticulture Department,
under the guidance of Kevin Marini, manager of
the Master Gardener Program, will be planning
the crops to be planted with special advisers to
teach the students how to care for them. An
orchard of fruit trees will be planted on the
rolling hill next to the garden space.
As the barren land is brought to life, one
is in awe of the entryway to “The Garden of
Hope.” It is one of beauty, as well as one of
serviceability. The materials for this project
were given at cost by Lowes of Lincoln, they,
too, saw the need and assisted where they could.
To volunteer or donate to this project,

2013 and now get a bill for 20,000 gallons or
more, you may have some serious problems.
You may have underground leaks in your
irrigation system, sprinkler emitters may have
popped loose, leaving you with geysers going
into the air while you are snoozing, you may
have excessive runoff from sloping lawns (we
all have those, right?) with sprinklers running
several minutes instead of multiple 2 minute
episodes. If your lawn feels mushy when you
walk across it, maybe it is getting too much
water (this famous Lincoln clay only absorbs
so much water, then the drains get the excess).
For lawn watering, Green Acres recommends
two short watering times of several (2 to 5 or
more) minutes each, separated by a couple
of hours, all in the early morning hours to
minimize runoff and evaporation.
Handy Helpers do not inspect your
entire sprinkler/drip system or do extensive
repairs, but can show you how to program your
irrigation timers according to your request. If
you know where a break or a problem exists,
other than underground leaks or pop-up
sprinklers that don’t pop up, a Handy Helper
can do the minor repairs. The major problems
should result in referral to professional
gardeners, landscapers, or sprinkler agencies
for prompt repair. Call us at 223-2763, whether
you are a Neighbor in need, or a Neighbor
InDeed, because CONSERVATION STILL
COUNTS.

Cart Cord
BY JEANIE ROBERTSON
I could not be late for my meeting
So rushing went to the garage
I planned on taking our NEV
But found it was still being charged.
I yanked the plug from the socket
And rapidly threw it aside
Then tossed my purse on the front seat
And hauled myself deftly inside.
Remotely, I raised the garage door
And put the cart into reverse.
While beeping, I backed down the driveway
Tho I buckled up my seat belt first.
While backing out turning my head,
I saw there were no cars around
So then I swung out in a wide turn –
To my shock, you’ll not guess what I’d found…
I quickly drove up the driveway
With heart-pounding speed there’s no doubt.
I’d pulled the plug from the socket…
But the cart end I hadn’t pulled out!
Trailing from cart to garage door
Was the long, black 20 foot cord.
I quickly jumped out and unplugged it
Before neighbors saw – Praise the Lord!
A Family Tradition Since 1934
400 Douglas Blvd. • Roseville
The moral of this silly story?
You always should be driver smart.
One thing for sure to remember:
Pull BOTH cords before you can start!

Good News! Man is Arrested in Lincoln
Burglaries
A Citrus Heights man was arrested in the
Bay Area in connection with four burglaries in
the Del Webb community in Lincoln. Dennis
Godwin of Citrus Height was arrested July
5 in Foster City for allegedly burglarizing
about $35,000 in personal property from
four residences in March, according to the
Lincoln Police Department.
One of the victims arrived home to find
the suspect loading her personal property
into his vehicle. When the female victim
discovered the suspect, he immediately fled
in his truck. Police were able to recover
pieces of jewelry that were returned to one
of the victims.
Godwin’s bail is set at $200,000 and
officials may extradite him to Placer County
from San Mateo. (Sacramento Bee)

Emily Koszalka, new Coordinator
for Village 10A in SCLH,.
family of Coordinators. Emily was born in
the Philippines but grew up here on the West
Coast. Her adult life took her to Hartford,
Connecticut, for three decades of work
and family. Her career was as a Human
Resources Manager and Consultant at the
Hartford Investment Management Company.
Her husband was a doctor and avid tennis
player. They were able to attend the Famous
Four tournaments (the Australian Open,
Wimbledon in England, the French Open
and the US Open) and raised a son together.
Emily’s husband passed away, and she and
her son moved to California to be near her

Emily remarried and worked as a
Compensation and Benefits Officer at Golden
One in Sacramento for 14 years. She quit
that position to take care of her husband who
sadly died of cancer. Her son had married
and started a family here in Lincoln, so Emily
was familiar with Sun City Lincoln Hills.
She decided in 2015 to move here and is
still unpacking! She was drawn to what she
calls this “self-sufficient community” which
offers so many opportunities to its residents.
Emily plays tennis and now Pickleball,
enjoys ballroom dancing, and now as a new
Coordinator with Neighborhood Watch for
Village 10A. We welcome her to our group!
August – A Bad Rap?
Why does August have such a bum rap?
People call August “the dog days of summer,”
which has nothing to do with pooches but
because the Dog Star, Sirius, rose at the same
time as sunrise during the month of August
during Roman times.
Here are some ideas why August is
actually the BEST month.
1) There is nothing to do, so it is the
laziest month. No good movies come out in
August, and it is stinking hot, so you stay
inside. You have 11 other months to be social.
2) New school supplies come out, and
you can buy cool notebooks that glow in the
dark and liquid pencils. You know we still
like that stuff.
3) Magazines are bigger. September
issues (which actually come out in August) are
the thickest issues of the year, especially the
fashion ones. You can tell your grandchildren
that magazines were real once and the pictures
didn’t move.
4) New shoes are available. Sneakers
for jumping are really good this year.
5) Important things happen in August:
Women got to vote, Hawaii became a state,
and WWII ended.
6) August is the best time to go to
amusement parks. Things are quiet and lines
are shorter on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
7) Corn tastes best in August. It is
not good in December because cobbed food
is a summertime treat. “Hark the Herald
Corncobs Sing” doesn’t cut it.
8) Pre-Halloween excitement begins.
You can almost taste the full-size Snickers and
Zombie face paint in the air. Start working
on that costume now.
Savor August!

Observations on LLAs and TGHs
BY MARTIN GREEN
What, it’s August already? And the year
is more than half over. It must be time for an
“Observations” on Life’s Little Annoyances
(LLAs) and Things Guaranteed to Happen
(TGHs). As I get older, I tend to drive more
slowly so I always stick to the right, or slow
lane, when making the drive on Blue Oaks to
our local Safeway. There are still drivers who,
instead of simply going around me, feel they
have to honk their horns; these are among the
many drivers who seem to think Blue Oaks is
a freeway, despite it having lights all along the
way. Of course, it’s also annoying when the car
ahead of me in the right lane is driving even
more slowly than I am.
I almost always get gas at Safeway to take
advantage of their discounts, even though
it’s annoying because there’s almost always a
line-up of cars at their gas pumps, undoubtedly
other people wanting to get their discounts. A
TGH: the person you’re waiting for to finish
gassing up invariably takes his, or her, time,
has to fumble around for a credit card, must
clean the windshield, looks inside the car
for some reason, before finally finishing and
leaving. Even more annoying, is when your
own credit card, after you’ve fumbled it out,
for some reason doesn’t work, as happened to
me last time, and you have to get someone to
assist you. Another LLA, and maybe a TGH, is
when there is an open gas pump and you race
to drive up to it only to find it’s out of order.
I’ve mentioned here how as you get older,
besides driving more slowly, you find yourself
doing just about everything more slowly. This
includes getting out of bed in the morning as
you wait for your joints to unstiffen;
Well, my PC must have known I was
writing about LLAs and TGHs because just
now it turned itself off and I had to wait until
it came back on. Luckily, it didn’t lose what
I’d already written. This particular LLA has
been happening more and more lately, maybe
as the PC, like myself, gets older and slower.
To get back to what I was writing, getting
dressed takes more time as it annoyingly
becomes harder to find those sleeves, button
those buttons and tie those shoelaces. When
you are finally dressed and ready for breakfast,
you have to go through the annoying process of
prying apart the pages of your thin newspaper
and then, after breakfast, try to locate where
they’ve hidden the crossword puzzle that day.
(It’s really annoying when the carrier tosses
your paper into your front yard instead of
walkway and it gets soaking wet from your
sprinkler, as happened the other day.)
As the day progresses, you will start getting
those annoying nuisance calls. I’ve written
about these before but what was once a trickle
has lately become a deluge. Worse, the number
of calls meant to scam you are increasing. Last
week, we had a call purportedly from the IRS
threatening to sue us if we didn’t call a certain
number right away. We’ve also gotten calls
from people telling us that we have a bug in
our computer and that all we have to do is let
them take over the computer and they’ll fix it
for a price. I hope all readers know that these
IRS and computer-takeover calls are bogus,
which makes them even worse than LLAs;
they’re dangerous. Beverly also had a call
from someone claiming to be our grandson
asking for money, another common scam.
These calls have become so bad that there’ve
been a number of articles about them and
the consensus seems to be that the best way
to handle them is not to take them to begin
with or, if you do take them, simply hang up.
I hope some government agency or other is
trying to get these scammers, who are aiming
primarily at us senior citizens.
Of course, hoping a government agency
will do something may be pretty optimistic.
In my most recent dealing with a government
agency I called and, needless to say, got an
automated system. I’ve written a number of
times here about my hatred of automated
systems, but I have gotten at least somewhat
used to having a conversation with a computer.
What is really annoying is that, when you’ve
gone through everything and are told, finally,
you’re being transferred to an actual person
you wait and nothing happens. In this particular
case, after this had happened a number of
times I resorted to writing an old-fashioned
letter to the agency. I asked for a reply to my
letter; I’m still waiting.
Getting back to high-tech LLAs, not
only does my PC play tricks such as abruptly
blanking out, my iPad has an annoying habit
of freezing up. As with the PC the best way to
unfreeze it seems to be turning it off and then
back on, annoying as this is. I want to end this
“Observations” on a happier note so I’ll tell
readers that I recently discovered that you can
get just about any piece of music on your Pad
by going to iTunes; it will be on there. I know,
you thought everyone knew this. Well, I finally
stumbled onto it. Now, if my iPad doesn’t freeze
up the next time I try to go to iTunes… well,
I’m afraid that’s a TGH.

On the subject of annoyances, I almost
forgot the election and the two candidates,
what were their names? Wait, I’m afraid if I
typed their names the PC would immediately
shut down again so will end now.

SCLH WRITER’S CORNER...
An excerpt from a memoir written by
Bev Brannon about her experience during
her husband’s long four and one-half months
hospitalization.
Finally, What Did I Learn?
BY BEV BRANNON
Have you ever had someone, probably
your mother, tell you to just go ahead and
do something, don’t whine about it, just do it
because it will build character? Looking back
over those many months, I am not sure they
really built character. But, I did learn a lot. I
learned how to administer injections; how to
carefully keep track of medications and see
that they were taken at the proper times and
in the correct dosage. I learned wound care,
physical therapy, juggling multiple doctor
appointments, handling oxygen equipment.
I used to laugh and say I could do anything a
RN could do and without having the degree.
I thought I was clever until the day a
home nurse tried to tell me she knew more
than our doctor. When I heard her blustery
comments, I reminded myself I did not have
the training and education those hard working
RNs have. And she didn’t have the training
and education our doctor has, and I stopped
trying to be clever with my comments.
But I do think the most important thing I
did learn is that everyone needs an advocate.
If you become ill or incapacitated, not able to
function and make your own decisions, you
definitely need someone to step in, ask the
questions regarding your medications and care.
Someone who can stand up and ask Why?
Or to say What does that mean? Or even
Can something else be done? It doesn’t take
a genius to do those things, simply someone
who deeply cares.
Granted I am of the old school who
thought all doctors are right up there next
to God, and nurses were on the next step
below. This experience with so many different
medical emergencies happening enlightened
me completely. I will never forget the surgeon
who worked hour after hour, multiple times to
save Tom’s life, or the nursing staff in ICU who
were so compassionate as they cared for him.
I will also remember the doctors who put
off treatment to the next rotating group, and
the nurses who turned their backs when Tom
could not take care of himself. Those were the
ones who taught me to stand up and demand
the care their facility promised to provide.
They were the ones who made me realize I
had to be an advocate for my husband if he
was ever going to leave that facility and return
to our home.
That is where I learned to question
a prescribed medication, Google it when
I returned home at night, print it out and
return the next day and say, “I don’t want this
prescribed for my husband.” Where I stood
up to the management and said, “I don’t want
that doctor caring for my husband.” Without
having done those things, I do not believe he
would have made it home.
I feel the most important thing I learned
was how to be an advocate and stand up for
an extremely ill person. To ask and demand
answers for someone totally dependent on
others for the simplest of actions. All those
other things – giving shots, changing yucky
bandages, keeping track of all those pills –
those were a necessary part of his recuperation.
First we had to get him home, that was the
ultimate goal. So, call it character building,
hard-headedness, or whatever. I learned to
be an advocate.
People Just Like You
BY JIM FULCOMER
How often do you hear an advertisement
on TV appealing to “people just like you,” or
even worse, “hard-working people just like
you?” It is usually a product or some form
of service which somehow will help the vast
majority of the watching audience, naturally
excluding slothful or overly unique people
who would not qualify. I find this insulting.
No, make that, infuriating. Who are these
“people just like me?” Have I ever met them?
Do I know them? I guess I shouldn’t be upset
to be judged as “hard-working,” which is, after
all, a compliment. Most of the people I know
were, at some time or another, “hard-working,”
but some had real cream-puff jobs, or even
inherited money. Bravo for them!
Perhaps I have chafed under the rigors
of normalcy and finally reached my goal of
being unusual, or quirky, now that I no longer
have to struggle to earn a living. Now I can
throw off my mask of ordinary and reveal my
true nature, an unabashed lover of the out-ofordinary. But certainly not, “strange, exotic, or
dangerous.” I would not like that, nor would
my family. They do have their limits.
But be it Life Insurance or Legal or Tax
problems, the appeal to “people just like me,”
is just nauseating. I had to endure conformity
for a long time and I refuse to be pasted into
some copy-writer’s bullet-point. I appreciate
the careful selection of age-related
products, designed to fix a myriad of
problems I might, or wish I might have, (won’t
go into that) but I have come to realize that
I am a precious commodity, worthy of being
strip-mined for my assets. Capitalism at it’s
rampant best!
I guess I am being too picky, but I do
wish sometimes I could interact with the TV
and tell him or her what was on my mind, but
then I realize how chaotic that would be - sort
of like a mass Facebook posting. Reflecting
on this, it might not bode well for me, for the
retribution would probably far exceed the
acclamation. I can sleep at night.
