Sun Senior News 5098 Foothills Blvd., #3-405 Roseville, CA 95747 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. Marilyn Koregelos PHOTO BY JEFF ANDERSEN One of Lincoln Hills’ first residents, Marilyn moved to Sun City from Lafayette, Calif. with her husband in December 2000. Neighbors InDeed Think The Drought Is Over? Not So Hasty, My Friends BY GARY REEDER ARTWORK BY RUDI FRANKE 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. (cont’ on page 37) Bingo is “Cool” BY RITA MCPEAKE Be cool!

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 one month 2013 water bill and hang in there with conservation efforts.

Sun Senior News • LINCOLN HILLS • AUGUST 2016 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.

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 are having fun moving to the music, you are actually improving your balance, engaging your brain, building more brain connections, and also, ultimately decreasing the chances of falling. Why not come and join our group and learn to dance, or refresh your skills? With just a few basic steps, you can begin to participate in the joy of Ballroom Dancing, and reap a world of health benefits, too. Each month we focus on a different style of dance.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 and enjoy the camaraderie. Contact: Shirley Rainman at [email protected] ••• 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.

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!

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). Contact: Dick Skelton, 626-0895 ••• 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. ••• OC Book Group BY LINDA LUCCHETTI Join us Aug. 18 at 1 p.m. in the Orchard Creek multipurpose room when we discuss, The Spellman Files, by Lisa Lutz.

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@ yahoo.com. Thank you and bon appetite.

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.

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 join us at our monthly gatherings.

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. Contact: Maureen Sausen 5438594 or Arlene Rond 408-3641. Website: lincolnhillsgenealogy.com ••• 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. ••• Eye Contact — SCLH Low Vision Support Group BY JOAN BRANT-LOVE General Meeting, Tuesday, 8/2/16, 2:00 – 3:30 PM, Fine Arts Room, Orchard Creek Lodge Kathleen Shevlin, Manager of Senior Programs for the Society for the Blind, will cover the various projects and services provided by the Society. Their mission is to empower individuals living with low vision or blindness to discover, develop and achieve their full potential. In addition, Kathleen and Kevin McGrath, Rehab Instructor, will introduce a new program called A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls. They will lead a discussion about why people often restrict their activities due to concerns about aging, vision loss and fear of falling and why this can 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 at age 45 will also share how he adjusted to his vision loss as well as the training he received.

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 (cont’ on page 17) Specializing in the Western Placer Area t"DUJWFJO3FBM&TUBUFBOE-FOEJOHGPSPWFSZFBST t$POTJTUFOU1MBDFS$PVOUZ5PQ1SPEVDFS FREE HOME MARKET EVALUATION '3&&1"35*"-45"(*/( VIRTUAL TOURS ON A NEW LISTING!

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.

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!

LEWIS 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”.

[email protected] ••• 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’ on page 25) Residential Painting THE WEATHER IS CHANGING!

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. ••• Sun City Hiking Group is green, lush and very beautiful.

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 (cont’ on page 29) ATT E N T I O N : Seniors Living Alone Senior Check On Service Daily Check On Call Emergency Pet Care (should you need to be hospitalized) Monthly Friendly Home Visit Non-Response Home Check “Peace of Mind” Knowing Someone Will Check On You! *Refer a friend, get $10 off first month for you and them.

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.

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.

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.

Sun Senior News • LINCOLN HILLS • AUGUST 2016 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.” 33 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 BY JEAN EBENHOLTZ Play It Again, Sam Cast members — L to R, back row: Sally Goble, Julie Africa, 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.

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 quickly.

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.

Check us out on Yahoo messenger site or cordcutterpros.com 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. ••• (more Club News cont’ on page 38) Try us in Lincoln...a place You Can Trust for your car repairs and maintenance.

But, she said, “I am happy because Jim is in the place I want to go to someday.” Marilyn claims her compassionate and caring attitude stems from her mother, a “strong devout Christian.” “My mother taught me everything I know, especially about what it means to walk with the Lord,” she said proudly.

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!” Know a neighbor who should be recognized?

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.

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! Make sure your home is READY for the WORLD to SEE!

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.

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.

Quote of the Month: “You can’t think and hit at the same time.” — Yogi Berra SCLH WRITER... 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?

The point of entry was the rear sliding glass door, which was shattered. The house was ransacked with drawers opened and boxes emptied. One laptop computer and an expired driver’s license were missing. The resident was out of town, and the burglary was discovered by a neighbor. Mountain Lion sighting: Residents saw a Mountain Lion in Village 16 near Leavell Park on June 23 at 9:00 P.M. The village backs up to East Joiner Parkway, open space, and the golf course. During the night on June 18, an unknown person smashed a window in a vehicle in the 600 block of Stockman Lane in Village 5AB and stole a purse and some jewelry. The purse was found on Lasso Lake Lane. Thieves also stole tools from another car in the same block that was unlocked. On June 20, while a resident of Village 38D was out shopping between 1:45 P.M. and 4:25 P.M. an unknown subject entered a residence on the golf course in the 1400 block of Stone Hearth Lane. The thief took only coins and good jewelry. The resident returned to find the front door open. Between midnight and early morning on Monday, July 4, a person smashed a window of a truck parked in the 2200 block of Stepping Stone Lane in Village 38 C. Lost were sunglasses, coins, tennis shoes. Telephone Scams: A resident on Homewood Lane was called by a scammer from “Microsoft” who offered to “fix” a computer for a price. The resident went to Walmart and sent a Money Gram to the scammer but then called the Police. A resident on Secret Lake Loop received a call from a female scammer who pretended to be the woman’s granddaughter. The resident recognized the scam and hung up. 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.

We welcome Emily Koszalka to our 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 parents. 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!

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.

Wait, I’m afraid if I typed their names the PC would immediately shut down again so will end now. Every month people in Sun City turn to our pages for the latest on community news!

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.
