Where's Waldo?
ho is Waldo you ask? Waldo is a metaphor
for a friend or neighbor with extensive life
skills and experience residing in our community
willing to step forward and seek election to the
Association Board of Directors this July. This year,
there will be two vacancies on the Board to replace
current Board President Don Treichler and Past
President Dan Arriola who will be reaching the end
of their 3-year terms. As you may recall from last
year’s election, to elect “2” we will need at least
“3” or more qualified candidates “ready, willing
and able” to serve. Soon, our Elections Committee
will be informing all Association members of the
specifics of the election process. This will include
changes in the schedule to provide additional time
for candidates to inform the community of their
interest, background, skills and experience for
serving in the position. Key to this process will be:
• Preparation of a Ballot statement outlining the
reason for running for the Board, strengths, goals,
involvement in Sun City, and important issues facing the Association.
• Participation in candidate forums in a public setting with fellow candidates and residents to respond to questions concerning their qualifications to perform the duties and responsibilities of
a Board member.
• Meeting fellow residents during social gatherings to discuss one-on-one why they are the more
qualified candidate for the job.
According to the Association Bylaws, a Director
shall be a member in good standing and a resident
of Sun City Roseville. Qualified candidates with
a desire to serve the interests of their fellow residents are always needed – it’s never too late to apply. Not all residents have the time and inclination.
If you do and if you run and win, you may be interested in some of the perks of serving on the Board:
• The schedule is flexible – there is always a meeting to attend.
• You will meet residents you have never met before by working on a committee or work group,
during planning sessions or monthly Board meetings or out and about in the community.
• Residents will let you know when your home or
cell phone or email is not working.
• You will hear “no fooling” / “bottom line” concerns as well as observations and recommendations to improve facilities, programs and services.
• There will always be a new and exciting project
or issue to deal with for the good of the Association like the Timbers Restaurant and Lounge Expansion, Timbers Lodge Refurbishment and the
Cell Tower.
• You will get to make long lasting contributions to
your community.

Lodge Interior Refurbishment Completed
he Timbers Lodge reopened on March 1st with
a refreshing new look and appeal to a newly
renovated interior of the Lodge. Funded from the
Association’s Reserve Fund and last redone in 2006,
the work completed in the last two weeks brings
a new vibrant interior look. The interior changes
bring not only a new theme and feel, but also new
more vibrant colors with furniture style changes to
update the look of the Lodge. This work culminates
many months of planning by the Lodge Interior
Refurbishment Work Group chaired by Marilyn
Crownover and supported by the professional
design firm of Corporate Design Group. All the hard
work and effort has resulted in a great new interior
to be enjoyed for many years to come.
Before the Lodge closed on February 15th, work
had already been completed on the renovation of
the Activities Hallway bathrooms, the installation of
new flooring and paint in the six Activities Rooms
and cosmetic changes to the Library. This work
was followed up in the past two weeks with new
painting throughout the building, new carpeting,
new furniture, new Library hearth and additional
artwork modifications. One of the more noticeable
changes was the conversion of the free standing
Kiosk in the lobby which has been changed to a
Club/Group Bulletin Board. This change opens up
the lobby and makes information more accessible.
Also added is a new digital sign in the lobby which
highlights upcoming events and an Association
Guchi
Creating Beautiful Homes
...One Room At A Time
Interior Design
News Bulletin Board outside of the Administration
office.
In addition to the new Bulletin Boards, we have also
updated the look of the lobby monitor’s station and
added a new book drop for the Library accessible
from the lobby. Existing artwork was enhanced, repositioned with new pieces added for a new fresh
look. Blinds for the exterior and hallway windows
were changed to all new wood blinds with the
Ballroom draperies replaced and the sheers
cleaned and pressed. We also took this opportunity
to resurface and stain the Ballroom dance floor
and clean and make repairs to the dividers in the
Ballroom. Some existing key furnishings were
reconditioned and used in the new update while
the majority of the old furnishings were sold to
residents with remaining pieces donated to charity
or Sierra College.
If you haven’t made your way to visit the Lodge
yet this month, please take the time to visit and
view our new look. While you are visiting, take the
opportunity to pick up this month’s Courier, check
out all the information on upcoming events on
the Activites Calendar or the new informational
monitor. The 20th Anniversary Celebration is fast
approaching in May 2016 so continue to view for
monthly updates so you can take full advantage
of this three day event. In the meantime, let’s all
continue to enjoy the fine dining at the Timbers at
the Lodge. Enjoy you day!

The Answer To Some Mysteries
Get Ahead of The Game
What is that funny looking square that is appearing on products
including on some of the screens on the video monitor in the
Fitness Center?
Why wait for the printed copy of the Village Courier magazine to
be issued on the first Monday of the month. Now, you can view
the monthly Village Courier on the Resident Website (www.scres.
org) on the FIRST OF THE MONTH, or if the first is a Saturday or
Sunday, then on the following Monday. Not only do you get a
head start on some of the announcements, but also you do not
need to go to the Lodge to get your copy. It is delivered right to
your home computer, tablet, or smart phone.
What is it called and what does it do?
What are we suppose to do with it?
Well, I have looked into my crystal
ball and found the answers to those
mysteries.
The square is called a “QR code,” an abbreviation for “Quick
Response Code.” This is the trademark for a type of matrix
barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the
Japanese automotive industry. It is a machine-readable, optical
label that contains information about the item to which it is
attached. Basically, it is another format like the UPC barcode
that is common on most everything today. The QR Code system
became popular due to its fast readability and greater storage
capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes.
The Lobby Digital Sign
This month, while you are oohing and aahing over the
remodeling of the Lodge interior, take a little time to notice the
new digital sign on the wall near the entrance to the Library,
where the Sun City map use to hang. The digital sign will be
used to keep us informed about all the interesting and exciting
events that are scheduled for our community. Although this
necessitated the removal of the map, copies of the map will be
available at the Lobby Monitor's desk.
To use the QR Code you need either a smart phone or a tablet.
Next, you will have to install one of the QR Reader apps. Some
of the QR apps are a free download; a few must be purchased.
These apps use the camera on your tablet or smart phone to
take a picture of the QR Square and then read or act on the code
that it contains.
Why are they on the Fitness Center video monitor? Some of the
screens on this monitor contain too much information to be
read in their short scrolling cycle. To overcome this problem a
QR Code has been placed on those screens. For instance, the
monthly calendar of events screen can be QR read and saved.
You don’t have to stand in front of the monitor waiting for
that screen to cycle back, to catch some bit of information you
may have missed. You can use your smart phone or tablet's QR
Reader app to capture the information in the QR image. Once
captured, each device has features available which allows you to
save the information to review at some later time. Try using your
new scanning skills on the QR above.
Now that those mysteries have been solved, you have gained
a new skill that can be put to use in the world outside of our
community. Wherever you see a QR Square you can scan it to
see what information it contains. When I attended a swim meet
at the Roseville Aquatic Center recently, I saw some youthful
swimmers with a QR printed on the back of their swim suit
bottoms. However, in that case I didn't feel it would be proper to
scan the QR Squares.

Turf Talk Jim Ferrin, Golf Course Superintendent & Director of Landscapes
W
e are very lucky to have a seasoned
and productive crew dedicated to the
golf courses. I also feel very fortunate to have
have recycled water to irrigate our golf courses
and common landscape again this season. Many golf courses
throughout the state do not and have suffered from water cut
backs and expenses due to the drought. There will be no water
restrictions when it comes to using reclaimed water this year per
the City of Roseville. However, we will take a judicious approach
trying to improve how efficient we can be when adding water to
our soils. We have the use of a weather station and underground
probes which assist us in measuring and then replenishing the
evapotranspiration (water used by plants in a day based on
temperature and evaporation) for that day. Taking a bit of the
guess work assists us in saving resources. This year we will also
be using hand held water meters which can measure the water
moisture in soils to help us irrigate efficiently and intelligently.
One of our issues with the lack of rain over the past four years
is salt accumulation in the clay soils from our use of reclaimed
water. The rain usually flushed it out to a sufficient level where
only moderate impacts were felt. However, with four years of
drought the redwood trees have been impacted by salt stress
beginning with the first rain, which puts the sodium in the soil
into solution and is up taken by the tree roots, burning the
needles. Our four year program of amendments, deep root and
topical fertilizers, auger holes and potable water applications
has helped the redwoods survive this extreme environment
(they are used to the moist coastal Pacific where they thrive). On
the golf courses we have done some soil testing to see where
the “barometer” lies in regards to salt levels this year after an
abundance of rain. We will take action depending upon what
those results are using in addition to the other programs wetting
agents and amendments to prevent further injury and assist
with recovery when the weather warms up.
We will also be doing some tee expansion on select front tees
beginning in March and probably will be complete by the end
of April.
On the landscape side the crew is doing a tremendous job.
They too will be aerifying lawns, treating trees, and applying
amendments where needed based on soil tests in March. We will
also be using compost on several lawns to see if we can become
more sustainable in lawn maintenance and reduce water. On
the project side we will be re-doing median areas on Del Webb,
adding some plants of interest in the demonstration gardens,
adding new roses in the Rose Garden, building a succulent and
cacti garden on Clearview Way, and replacing some old plant
material on the main boulevards while doing sprinkler audits.
This along with regular landscape maintenance will make for a
very busy month.
On a quick note, all permitting for the Green Grove Lane project
Phase A on the golf course side has been approved. We will
begin moving forward on bids as well as communicating to
neighbors on specifics of this wetland project. Stay tuned.
Greens, tee, fairway, rough and surrounding aerification will
be taking place beginning in March - weather permitting!
Greens will be done on March 7th (Pines), 8th (Lakes), and 9th
(Oaks). We will be removing cores from the green surfaces and
adding amendments (based on soil testing) to improve air and
water infiltration and movement. Healing will depend upon
soil temperatures. Warmer temperatures will help to heal the
greens faster. Also of note is that we are doing aerification earlier
because we want to expand the time players can enjoy the golf
course rather than have conditions be impacted into April.
The putting green on Timber Creek will also open in March. We
will try and encourage over the next 12 months the infiltration of
poa annua into the new surface so it can mirror the existing green.
Initially we will be watching for wear, so we will be conservative
with the hole placement in the young green surface, but it looks
like it will be fun to putt.

AEROBICS, STRENGTH & YOGA
Tuesday & Thursday, 7:00 AM
T
he importance of resistance (strength) training for the older adult
is often overlooked. As we age, the body loses muscle mass and
eventually this will affect the ability to stay independent in the activities
of daily living. Before beginning any exercise program, including resistance training, one
should check with their physician. The guidelines for older adults (age 65 and over) suggests
two to four sessions per week (three is a good goal) with 48 hours of rest in between each
session. The length of each session should be 20 to 45 minutes and incorporate the main
muscle groups in the chest, shoulders, arms, back, abdominals, and legs. A set consists of
10-15 repetitions of one exercise. Beginners should start with one set of a specific exercise
and then move on to the next exercise. Eventually, exerciser should work towards increasing
to two sets with no longer than 30 seconds to 3 minutes of rest between each set to further
increase strength gains. Three sets may also be performed but two is sufficient (and takes less
time!). It can take some trial and error to determine the right amount of resistance to work the
muscle to failure (loss of good form) but it should be achieved in 10-15 repetitions. Each month
the resistance program should be progressed or variegated to continue to provide challenge
to the musculature as well as to avoid over-use injuries. Stop in and ask us how you can get
started with a resistance training program or how to change your current one to provide an
additional challenge. In March, we are offering a specialty class called Silver Boots designed for
those who want to challenge
themselves with resistance
“My ideal weight is the weight of me

about Silver Boots below.
Silver Boots is a new strength
and conditioning program that will include age appropriate drills and a variety of approaches
to strength training designed to improve strength, cardiorespiratory endurance, and agility.
This challenging eight week program is a fast paced, high energy, 50 minute workout limited
to 12 people focused very specifically on strength training. Participants will receive a brief
fitness assessment and be asked to fill out a health history questionnaire. The class will meet
Tuesdays, March 22-May 10 from 2-3PM in the Aerobics room. Instructor: Aila. Fee: $50 Register
with payment at the Fitness Center front desk; space is limited.

Committee News
Ambassadors by Karen Cochran
Architectural Review
Our New Resident Welcome Team has done it again! Patricia
Madden and Ginny Taylor, supported by the entire Ambassador
team, hosted another wonderful welcome party on Saturday,
February 27, at Sierra Pines. Invitations were sent to 113 new
residents. Thanks also to our Board of Directors and staff members who joined with us to say “welcome” and to share information about our community.
Are you planning an addition or modification to your home?
Painting the exterior or modifying your landscape plan? Or
perhaps installing a pool, spa, jacuzzi, waterfall, wall, or fence
on your lot? Or maybe it's concrete work you want to undertake. Whatever the project is, you are required to submit plans
and receive written approval from the Architectural Committee prior to execution of any of these projects. All homeowners
are responsible to comply with all standards established within
the Sun City Roseville Design Guidelines, as well as, the requirements of the CC&Rs and Design Standards.
We all see “For Sale” signs coming down quickly in our neighborhoods. It is important that the Realtors who sell in SCR to
know as much as possible about our community so they can inform their clients. Each year, Ambassadors host an information
session with the Realtors to let them know about the new and
exciting changes and to provide information about our bountiful amenities, community standards, marketing opportunities,
and how they can arrange tours for their clients. Joanne Sanchez and Betty Smith are heading up this year’s event which will
be held on April 7 in the Solarium.
Tour requests continue to pour in and we
Ambassadors have the
privilege of conducting them. Carita Connelly, our Tour Coordinator, reported that
fourteen tours have
been completed in the
last three months and
six more are pending.
Carita says she loves to
hear from AmbassaL-R Betty Smith, Jason Smith, and
dors after their tours
Joanne Sanchez discussing the event menu
because they are so
enthusiastic and proud of our community. It is a real feeling of
pride and accomplishment. Thanks Carita, for the great job you
do managing this important process.
The Ambassador Committee works very hard to maintain a relationship with the Roseville and Rocklin communities by networking with members of both Chambers of Commerce. SCR
will be sponsoring a “Good Morning Rocklin” breakfast meeting
later in the year. It will be a wonderful opportunity to present
the benefits of SCR to the business community and we will encourage them to utilize our top rated golf courses and beautiful
lodge for their future events.

DON’T LET THEM DIE!
Maintaining our trees and shrubs during a drought season might
require a few adjustments in regular plant care, but nothing we
can’t all accomplish. Now is the time to make certain your drip
systems and lawn sprinklers are all functioning and are properly
adjusted. Residents may contact the Foundation for assistance
in setting sprinkler and drip timers. And PLEASE don’t forget…
you CAN turn off lawn watering and still maintain regular plant/
tree drip watering.

Let the rains do their part! Winter is the time to fertilize, aerate,
clean and trim up our lawns for healthier Spring growth. These
chores are most efficiently accomplished with sprinklers turned
off and just prior to a rain.
If dead or dying sod needs replacement you must first make
sure there are no City drought restrictions on replacement
sod. You may also opt to replace with a more drought resistant
landscape. Either choice requires having the landscape plan approved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Applications are available in the Lodge and assistance is available from
the Community Standards Department.
If there are bare spots in landscaping, let’s “bring back the
green” and plant drought resistant plants with a drip system
(Design Guidelines, 3.03 (a) and 3.03 (c)). Article V, Section 5.01
also states replacement of
existing shrubs or other plantings (excluding trees) do not
require ARC approval, but
MUST be similar to original
planting which has been previously approved.
Let’s all work together to keep
our community “clean and
green”!

common of the finches. It is the bird with a red chest and head,
brown back and wings with white stripes. It is the largest of the
three finches, with a beak that is black on top and yellowish
underneath.
The Sun City Roseville
Bird of the Month
story by Janet Zeitman
We have three common finches in this area. They are the Lesser
Finch, House Finch and American Gold Finch. They all eat seeds
and like bird feeders or seed socks.
The American Gold Finch (5") is the most colorful of the three
and stands out in his breeding plumage each Spring. The male
is bright yellow with a black cap, and wings with white bars. The
female is a duller yellow, with no black cap and smaller wing
patches. The rest of the year the American Gold Finch is a duller
color, but keeps the same markings. It can also be distinguished
by its orange beak.
The Lesser finch is a smaller bird (4 1/2") with more of an olive
yellow color. It's head and wings are a dark olive with white
stripes and the body is a light yellow/green color. The beak is
black. The Lesser finch doesn't have the dramatic color change
when in Spring breeding plumage.
When trying to identify birds it is important to remember that
they are individuals, and can vary a lot from the color and size
description. The best way to identify them is by body shape, leg
or foot color or, marking (wing bars, head cap). Darwin identified
his finches in the Galapagos, by the shape and color of the beak.
The nice part of backyard feeders, is that the birds tend to stay
in one place long enough
to see details.
If you are interested in
our local birds, check
out the Sun City Birders
Web page. The gallery
has some great pictures
of local birds taken
by Sun City residents.
They are close up
and easy to identify.

Family Owned – Community Focused.
Following our last monthly meeting with the CHP keynote
speaker, I thought I would add my recommendation that you
always drive with your head lights full-on, with the whole point
being to make you more visible to others, at all hours, and in
any conditions.
I recommend manually turning your head lights full-on at all
times. Daytime auxiliary lights help, but do not have near the
impact of full-on head lights. Moreover, if your head lights are
full-on all the time, you will not neglect to have them on during
these specific conditions:
• When the sun is rising or setting behind you, you are coming
toward other traffic “from out of the sun.” At the same time—
no pun intended—the other motorists are being blinded by
the sun, and they will definitely see your head lights before seeing the rest of your car.
• At dusk, and dawn, most drivers do turn their head lights fullon, and most cars now come equipped with tinted windows
and mirrors. The result in that combination of conditions, especially in heavy traffic, is that, if you do not have your head
lights full-on, your car can be nearly invisible among the sea of
head lights.
• The visibility factor in rain is at least as significant as that of
driving at dusk. Without head lights, and tail lights, your car is
nearly invisible among a sea of head lights and sprayed water.
The law is that whenever you activate your windshield wipers,
you must also activate your full-on head lights.
Not only do daytime auxiliary lights lack the visual impact of
full on-head lights, most do not include your tail lights. Turning your head lights full-on, of course, activates your tail lights.
And, when you shut the engine off, an audible alert reminds
you to turn them off to not drain the battery.
Another light related tip: You can use reflections of your car
to check that all your lights are working properly. Storefront
windows work great. Simply park where you can see the reflections, including tail and brake lights in your rear view mirror.

help you keep your homes in good repair – offered at no charge,
but tax deductible donations are accepted.

not yet be ready to explore, yet good to know it will be there
when the time comes – or if you are investigating the subject for
a relative.
ports the Foundation’s philosophy of “Friends Helping Friends.”
Please watch for the letter and donate what you can.
Thank you in advance for your support!

“We’re Here to Help”
by Jennifer Martin
Sunshine Services offers SCR residents many resources
tailored specifically for seniors. Here are some details on
three programs that really exemplify our motto, “We’re Here
to Help.”
CAREGIVER RELIEF PROGRAM: Provides relief for Sun City
residents who are full-time caregivers for a loved one who
is unable to leave home without assistance. Four hours a
week of caregiver relief is provided by professional caregiver
agencies. The scheduling of care will be determined by the
resident and a program coordinator. The agency collects
a $5 per hour co-pay from the caregiver and bills the SCR
Foundation for the balance. The program is limited to two
years. First-time applicants can pick up a form on the wall rack
inside the Administration Office and drop it in the locked box
located below the rack. A Sunshine coordinator will contact
the applicant within 24 business hours to schedule a meeting.
If you have any questions, please call Jean Hawkins at 7817705.
INDIVIDUAL CARE PROGRAM: Provides short-term, nonmedical care for residents who have had a recent serious illness
or have returned home from the hospital to recover. This care
is provided until the resident can regain the ability to care
for themselves or make arrangements for more permanent
care. A selected agency will send someone to your home
to prepare light meals, provide light housekeeping, launder
bed linens, and assist with bathing. No medicine or medical
treatments are provided. There is a co-pay of $5 per hour and
the SCR Foundation picks up the balance of the cost for the
service. Care is limited to 40 hours per year. Application forms
are available on the wall rack in the Administration Office or
on our web page on the SCR resident website: www.scres.org.
Call Jean Hawkins at 781-7705 for further information.
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM: On the first Thursday of the
month, you can buy tickets at the Lodge for the Dial-A-Ride
program which provides curb-to-curb bus services (with 24hour notice), Monday through Friday from 5:45 AM to 10
PM and Saturday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Tickets are sold in a book of 10 tickets for $10. Wheelchairs are
OK. Call Carol Del Sarto at 774-1564 for more details.
SAVE THE DATE: The speaker for our next general meeting
which will be held on April 14th, 10:00 AM at Sierra Pines, is
Diane Wilson, leader of Sunshine’s Transition and Loss group,
who will speaking on: "Act III - Creating the Spiritual Legacy
of Your Life."
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The only difference between a tax
man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.

The New
by Barbara Woolman
"Since July 1, 2015, SCR's landscaping has been done in-house
instead of by an outside vendor," says Jim Ferrin, Golf Course
Superintendent and Director of Landscape. The Board of Directors
made this decision after much study and recommendations from
Ferrin, the Properties Committee and various outside consultants.
There were strong financial advantages for this change.
Valley Crest had been our landscaping vendor for nine years, and
its bids have been reasonable and its work adequate. However
Valley Crest's most recent bid increased dramatically this past year
to the point where continuing its contract was no longer feasible.
Valley Crest had kept its prices low during the Great Recession,
but now that the economy was picking up, it wanted to recover
more of its lost income.
As time has gone on, Valley Crest's job performance slacked
off. Direct supervision became more difficult. Ferrin explained,
"In order to make changes or improvements, I had to talk to the
vendor's job supervisor who would then talk to his crew, then the
vendor supervisor had to talk to his management who eventually
would get back to me--it was just not working."
Before the final decision was made, Requests for Proposals went
out to different vendors, and five replied. After listening to their
proposals, it became more and more obvious that doing the
landscaping in-house made better sense. Vendors work to the
exact terms of their contract, and if they were asked to do work
not clearly delineated, costs increased. By going in-house Ferrin
can use his employees more efficiently and more in tune with
particular Association needs.
Recently, when asked how an employee felt about working at
SCR, he said, "This is a wonderful place to work!" The Landscaping
Department hired nine new workers, and it now has 30 full time
equivalents. Turnover is infrequent, and employees are welltrained. There is a solid sense of camaraderie and loyalty among
them. Safety issues are a prime concern, and injuries are few.
Ferrin is a strong believer in cross training which allows for more
flexibility.
Keeping up with all the Association's landscaping needs is a very
www.scres.org
time-consuming and complex task. Employees have had to learn
how to take care of a wide variety of vegetation, as well as be
knowledgeable of various soil conditions and irrigation problems.
"Landscaping is never completely perfect because there always
something more to do" declared Ferrin.
Residents are often unaware of all the work the Landscape team
does because our landscape is consistently attractive. Lately the
Landscaping staff has been trimming trees and shaping shrubs in
the common areas. The trees branches were carefully reduced in
order to improve the line of sight and to give a more park-like look.
Shrubs are rounded instead of squared off for a more informal
appearance. Added bark has refreshed the common areas.
The crew has built insect hotels and watering holes in the habitats
along Timberrose , as well as owl and bluebird houses around the
common areas. New perches are now available for raptors to help
keep down the rodent and reptile populations. Ferrin works with
UC Davis to provide homes for abandoned baby owls that occupy
the owl houses, while insects and birds instinctively find their own
homes.
Workers manage the very sophisticated pump systems which
regulate the required amounts of recycled water and fertilizers.
It's all run by computers that monitor and adjust for seasons
and rainfall, and employees have been trained to fine-tune the
computers as necessary. Recycled water is free to use, but it has
a high salt content. This damages plants and trees, particularly
the redwoods and cedars. Since there is not sufficient rainfall to
leach out the salt, other methods are applied. Ferrin says it takes
time and patience to deal with the salt problem, and he doesn't
just clear out diseased branches or replace what looks dead. He
waits to see how effective the actions taken solve the problem
before he chops.
The new Landscaping Department continually modifies the
care of our properties so that they always look spectacular. Our
Mediterranean climate requires continued specific attention, and
the Landscaping Department is justly proud of its work. They
help keep our community at the top of the list of preferred senior
properties.

story by Peg Hall
Eighty years ago a first novel by Margaret Mitchell
memorabilia collection.
took the literary world by storm. Within three years her phenomenal book was made into a blockbuster film. Ten years
would go by before Sun City resident Theresa Eve was born,
and another decade later, when she was a fourth grader, her
mother took her to the Porter Theater in Woodland, California,
to see one of the most beloved and enduring productions ever
made in Hollywood----Gone With the Wind.
These days her home on Silver Strike Court houses her mementos, among them a jewel music box playing the Tara score, several Madame Alexander dolls in elaborate, authentic costumes,
newspaper clippings, tea cups and bric a brac. Even a Gone
With the Wind cookbook! This month a display window in the
Lodge holds some of her special collection.
It was not unusual for mothers and daughters to bond as they
shared the experience of viewing Gone With the Wind. Theresa still remembers her first exposure to the story when she
was spellbound by the timeless, classic narrative of a love-hate
relationship and a struggle for survival.
The 1937 Pulitzer Prize for fiction went to Margaret Mitchell for
her massive story to which people of all ages and walks of life
seemed to relate. It had universal appeal with characters readers
could care about, especially the headstrong and self-absorbed
Scarlett, who determined that no matter what disaster she encountered---death or war or poverty--- she would triumph.
Born in Chico, Theresa was the daughter of an educator. She
grew up in northern California, took art classes, launched a 35year career with the state, and acquired a B.A. degree in Sociology. She loved to read, especially history, and never lost her
fascination with the epic drama that had impressed her early
on. In 1985 she was given a treasured copy of the book which
had belonged to her grandmother, and was inscribed by her
mom. This family keepsake was the start of Theresa’s GWTW
All the events in the book had their basis in fact, though they
didn’t always happen to the same people or in the same time or
place. Readers around the world incorrectly believed the idealized story of the Old South, followed by the American Civil War,
and the horrors of Reconstruction, were accurate. The film version amplified this misconception, which had a negative effect
on race relations because it resurrected the “Lost Cause” mythology.
Though Mitchell never produced another book, she won her
place in literary history with this overwhelmingly popular 1037
page tome. Started in 1926, the novel was written over a period
of about ten years. The author, a fifth generation Georgian,
wrote the ending first, and then crafted earlier chapters telling
the story of love and loss in the Civil War period.
Its title is a quote from Scarlett when she returned to the
devastated family plantation after the war, wondering if Tara
still stood, or was “gone with the wind which had swept through
Georgia.” The phrase is also a metaphor for the disappearance
of the Southern way of life prior to the war.
David O. Selznick acquired the film rights for $50,000, an unheard
of sum for an unknown writer’s first novel. A nationwide
casting search for an actress to play the southern belle was
unprecedented. In all, 1400 actresses were interviewed, and 400
auditioned before newcomer Vivien Leigh was selected. The
movie opened in Atlanta in 1939 shortly after the start of World
War II in Europe, helping Americans identify with the war story
and its theme of survival.
Transforming the lengthy novel from print to film proved to
be challenging. The first rough cut ran over six hours, with 50
speaking parts and 2400 extras. Finally edited down to 3 ½
hours, it was shown with an intermission.
The names of Olivia de Havilland, Leslie
Howard and Clark Gable lighted up
the marquis, with “presenting Vivien
Leigh” appearing in lesser print below.
However, the brilliant performance of
the indomitable Scarlett O’Hara won over
audiences immediately, boosting Leigh to
star billing.
Accolades of all kinds were heaped on
GWTW, and it swept the Academy Awards,
receiving 13 nominations and taking ten
awards. It garnered top honors for Best
Picture, Director, Actress, and Supporting
Actress. Both outstanding supporting
actresses in the film were in competition,
with Hattie McDaniel (Mammy) winning
over Olivia de Havilland (Melanie). This
was the first time an African American had
ever won an Academy honor. Many forget
that McDaniel and other cast members
who had played slaves were not allowed to
attend the premiere in racially segregated
Atlanta. There were protests and boycotts
when the film opened in other cities.
Not only is Theresa fascinated by the characters in the saga,
she is also knowledgeable about their wardrobes. Her period
dolls wear costumes made by a talented seamstress, a family
friend who mails her the outfits with detailed instructions about
every aspect of their attire --- antebellum dresses with fine
lace trim, buttons that work, delicate decolletage, appropriate
www.scres.org
Theresa Eve
undergarments, and matching hats. There
is the dress that Scarlett wore to the
Twelve Oaks barbecue, with that 17 inch
waist! And then there are the hairdo’s.
Throughout the film, Scarlett has 36
different hair styles.
It is hard for Theresa to name her favorite
character. She admires Mammy for her
calm common sense and her way of
putting Scarlett in her place. She finds
the dashing Rhett Butler “dynamic” in his
unforgettable role of a roguish captain,
whose famous statement at the end of
the story became Hollywood history. Her
collection contains a series of Bradford
Exchange decorator plates illustrating
key elements of his story: Waiting for
Rhett; Red dress; Mary meets Scarlett; the
Proposal; Scarlett’s resolve; Kiss Me Scarlett, and Rhett alone.
As for the persona of Scarlett O’Hara, she could be cold,
calculating, charming, and wily. Her most memorable trait,
in Theresa’s opinion, is her resilience. The words she speaks
frequently throughout the novel underscore her mantra. “I won’t
think about that until tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day.”

Despite the weather, we have been continuing our Tuesday
Tournaments, although at times we have been able to go two
times around, to the enjoyment of most. The January 26th Open
8-Ball meeting was notable in that Norm Pilliard "ran the table",
both breaking and pocketing all the balls, leaving all three other
players no chance, cooling their heels (cue-sticks ??) on the
bench. Congratulations Norm - you repeated your performance
of last July - let's not make it a habit!
The Tournament Winners for January were:
January 5 - Men's 9 Ball - Gary Evans and Norm Pilliard.
January 12 - Open 8 Ball - Ken Neal and Melanie Sherwood.

Croquet
So you want to play golf on the croquet court? Didn't you read
the sign that says "Croquet Play Only"? Let me introduce you to
Golf Croquet. You probably know Six Wicket Croquet and Nine
Wicket Croquet. The third type of croquet is Golf Croquet.
Golf Croquet is played on a normal Six Wicket court with either
two pairs of players or just two players each playing two balls
- one player playing both the blue and black and the other
playing both the red and yellow. The sequence of wickets is
www.scres.org
exactly the same as with Six Wicket and most of the rules are
just the same. There are two main differences between Golf
Croquet and the traditional Six Wicket Croquet. In Golf Croquet
as soon as one player has scored a hoop all players advance to
the next hoop. That team then scores a point for having scored
the wicket. Since only one player has to score each wicket, this
makes for a much faster game. The second main difference with
Golf Croquet is that no ball can advance more than half way to
the next wicket until the previous wicket has been scored. A ball
that has advanced past the halfway point is placed in a penalty
spot. This rule stops a player from having an unfair advantage by
being close to the next wicket.
Dick Kay is planning Golf Croquet games in the mornings
with club members and in the afternoons with any residents.
Residents playing in the afternoon are not required to wear
white. Contact Dick at (916) 773-0724 or [email protected] for
further information
and to set up a time
to play. Give Golf
Croquet a try, I think
you'll like it!
See you on
the courts!

Thursday, March 10, our monthly Membership meeting will be
from 1pm to 3pm. Our demonstrator will be Lyn Lauts. She has a
multi – level teaching credentia and a deep appreciation of nature. She enjoys the process of painting in nature, as the medium
flows onto the canvas, mirroring some likeness of the light and
beauty of life. If you look carefully you may find “sprezzatura”
somewhere in her works. That is the joy of the brush creating an
unruly mark, a dab of color in an unlikely place. Come join us for
this interesting presentation.
The Fine Arts Club will be holding their 21st Annual Art Show and
Sale on Saturday, March 19, 10am to 5pm and Sunday, March 20,

Gar den
February 2, Roseville Environmental Services’ Brayden Mitchell
and John Williams, presented “From Green Waste to Compost”,
including water conservation tips, composting and the Exploration Center. In addition, they had a great discussion of things like
the Water Wise and Cash for Grass programs. The information
was excellent and we all came away with a better understanding
of how to take care of watering our yards.
Upcoming Garden Club events (see the Garden Club calendar on
the Sun City site):
• March 1, Katie Edwards of Ambience Floral will spend the evening focused on bright beautiful Spring bulb flowers, vibrant
colors of tulips, daffodils, iris and more. Everyone will have the

Golden Niners
Rain kept the Golden Niners off the Pines Golf Course twice in
January and cold weather limited the turnouts on the two dates
they did manage to play. Scrambling for limited winnings, four
players won only $17 or more, and the top one, George Flaherty,
won just $19 in trade money.
At the quarterly meeting members voted unanimously to allow
all players 89 years and older to play form the executive tees during their Tuesday games. Some of the new ones in this special
category—Deane Johnson and Jack Medina, among some others— turned down the option.
In December when the calendar and decent weather allowed
the men to play five times, George Baldwin was tops with $25 in
trade winnings.
The Golden Niners held their annual holiday breakfast at the
Timbers on Dec. 9. After a filling buffet, many members won a
sleeve of three golf balls or golf books in a drawing headed by
Bud Haddix who is hoping to host a TV show in the future. President J R Moors led the quarterly meeting. He also treated with
mimosas for all.
J R saluted his Officers and Committee members: Doug Peck,
Mike Cepress, Joe Campagna, Jerry Bell, Art Champ, Deanne
Johnson, Lowell Ploss, Phil Zeitman, Dwight
Rose, Tim Moore, Dick Geistert and the club’s
anonymous publicist. Moors said they did all
the work. “I don’t do anything,” he bragged.
Nonetheless, Moors’ leaders gave their president an embroidered golf shirt for Christmas.
George Baldwin was
big winner in December
He & She Golf
The He & She Golf club is great for all levels of golfers. We put
together fun tournaments and have numerous social events during the year. Don’t have a partner? No problem. Come join.
Membership applications are located in both pro shops or check
the SCR He & She Golf Club website page for more information.
To sign up to play with the 9-hole group, a sign-up box is at the
Sierra Pines pro shop or you can email Jim Monahan at jmm1121@
surewest.net. For 18-hole players, you can sign up to play in the
players’ room next to the Timber Creek pro shop.
Spring is around the corner and the He & She Golfers have a
change in their normal first- and third-of-the-month Monday
play. The 18-hole group will play on the regular schedule of
March 7 and 21. Due to course aeration at Sierra Pines on March
7, the 9-hole group will play on March 14 and 21.
Looking back, the nine-hole players had a cold but great preValentine’s round with players wearing red and white and flipping their normal tee box locations (men teeing off on the red
tees and the women from the white tees). Everyone had a great
time with this mash up, but the cold and the mud prevented
many of the golfers from taking advantage of the forward tees.
Most of the scores were higher than normal. Maybe next time
the weather will cooperate more.
The 18-hole group played 1,2, & 3 Best Net Ball with Sam & Bev
Simpson and Buck and R.T. Taylor coming in first place. Closest to
the pin money went to Buck Taylor and Susie Everett.

Jenny Lyon – "Quilt Skipper"
Presenting at the February meeting of the Needle Arts Club was
quilter Jenny Lyon. Jenny is known not only for her wearable art
quilts, but also for her technique of “free motion” quilting – randomly and freely moving the fabric on her machine while quilting. Jenny also teaches quilting classes, does presentations and

It isn't foggy.....It isn't foggy....it isn't....
Did you notice two golfers daring to think they could actually
see through the fog on a very damp, cold day last month? Our
trusty photographer, however, is ever at the ready and she recorded their “folly”. However, Heidi and Aud shall remain nameless until their shameless acceptance of winner’s trophies at our

It’s March and the #hashtag is GREEN! Why? Because the 17th, St
Patrick’s Day, shamrocks and all and the 20th, First day of Spring,
fairly shout out the word GREEN. Not only that, but the GREEN
GOBLINS have even stolen Easter the 27th, from April and made
“New Life” the by-word! Hopefully the little Mexican kid, El Nino,
will throw in a few more rain
storms to make sure we stay
that way. In the meantime

The Performance Committee got a GREEN light and met early to
select a Title for our June Concert. With our folders stuffed with
joyous, fun, smiling music, Flora Nishikawa’s suggestion, “SO
HAPPY TOGETHER”, won hands down. This is a first. Ordinarily
we don’t announce our Concert Title until April. This year we will
receive tickets in April which should give us plenty of time for
another Sell-Out! GREEN stands for “Get Ready Early Even Now”!
Saint Patrick, Spring and the Easter Bunny all celebrate GREEN.
So do we! Wear it Singers and become Irish this month of GREEN!

Tennis

on the courts again, and tennis is back in swing, as the courts are
full most mornings.
We had a wonderful tennis party last week with over one hundred people attending. It was a really nice time had by all with
all the Pizza, salad and beer and wine that you could consume.
Kathy Fowler & Barbara O'Malley
After all the news and reports were made, we had a very nice going away presentation for Barbara O’Malley, who will be moving
to Salt Lake City to be near her daughter. It was very emotional,
as she has been in the Tennis Club from day one, and has made
a lot of friends, who will miss her, and her playing very much.
We presented her with a plaque and memory picture book and
a singing rendition with the melody of Let Me Call You Sweetheart, with lyrics changed to suit her and how we feel about her,
done by Nancy Watkins, and, through it all there were a lot tears
shed, as she will be missed by all of us.
Since Barbara was our Vice President, Joe announced that Sue
Conradi will be our new Vice President.
Our first tournament this year will be on March 12th, The Get

March is here! It did come rapidly and we did get our much
asked for rain.
Please remember to Spring Forward on March 13th, the start of
daylight savings.
We will be in our newly remodeled Ball Room very soon. Stay
in touch with the Courier and the News for all the changes that
are on the way.
The TCWGC is again aware of how fragile life can be. We have
lost a dear friend with the passing of Donna Derner. Donna was
a past captain of our women’s club and a volunteer extraordinaire.
The Veterans table on "Courier Day" is very busy. Many visitors
stop by to say "hello" and we have many non-members asking
about us and wondering how they can belong. Quite a few say
that they cannot join because they have not been in the military
www.scres.org

but we explain that if they had relations that served or if they
pass a simple test, they are in. Our membership almost got to
450 last year. I think that 500 is not out of the question.
We meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 10:30 in the
Ball Room. We usually have a speaker that shows and tells at the
end of our meetings. All of our meetings start with our coffee
and donut social "get together" time. We say thanks to those
that have helped and remember those that have served.
We have three loyal sponsors; Raley's, Pete's Pizza and Italian,
and Roseville Car Wash. These folks never forget us and we say
thanks when we use their services.
If you have not been to one of our meetings give us a try. You
will be surprised by the number of faces you already know.
Don't wait to care for those around you because time has a habit
of slipping away.
See you soon and God Bless.
Water Fitness
At our last Class Representative meeting in the beginning of
February, we welcomed Kathy Phillips as a new member of our
seven member Council. We reminded everyone that elections
will be held at our General Meeting in May. Current council
members are deciding whether or not to extend , so at this time
it is not clear what positions will need to be filled. If an election
is necessary, the President will select a nominating committee.
We’ve changed the date that class fees are due to give our Vice
President some more time to do the master quarterly list as well
as the class lists that go to all reps. It’s a massive job each quarter to get all this information organized, and the 20th of the
month makes it a real push. Spring registration will now be due
by 3/15/16 with a $5 late fee if not paid up by 3/20/16. Summer
registration will be due by 6/10/16 with a late fee on the 15th.
Treasurer reports that the financial state of the Club is strong.
Our current membership is 216, and the Flex and Make-up programs are holding their own with no adverse impact on our
treasury.
We now have instructors for the 8 a.m. classes except for
Wednesday, and we are working on that. The new instructors
are very good, so think about trying them out if you'd like to.
Five instructors took the Shallow Water Life Guard training class,
taught by our own instructor Lorri Fisher. Lorri's health is not
good, but she made a special effort for us by teaching the class
while sitting on her walker! We surely appreciate her. The Club
paid for all expenses.

Celebrating Art
by George E. Richardson
T
he above title is the theme for the 21st Annual Art Show
and Sale hosted by the Artists of Timber Creek. This special
Sun City Roseville event is free and open to the public.
The dates for your “must do” calendar are Saturday, March 19th
from 10.00am to 5.00pm and Sunday, March 20th from 10.00am
to 3.00pm.
More than 40 talented artists will display their work in a range
of mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, and photographs. Take a relaxed stroll through the Sun City Ballroom
where you may find that elusive, original piece of art for your
home… everything from still life to abstract. All the art in the
Ballroom is original. More art may be viewed in the Fine Arts
Club Room.
Add to your enjoyment of the art by talking to the artists. Many
of the Fine Arts Club members have been artists for much of
their lives. Some are, and others have been art instructors. Many
others started their love of art on moving to
Sun City, and have become wonderfully talented artists in those 20 or so years.
The signature art piece this year is a pastel entitled “Silk Reflections”. Marbo Barnard is the artist and is internationally renowned with more
than 30 years of experience. She has worked in
all mediums, but is particularly known for her
work with soft pastels. Her art clearly reflects
her Asian roots, displaying an emphasis on elegant balance, detail, and technical sophistication.
Marbo is a Distinguished Pastelist in the Pastel Society of the West Coast and a Signature
Member of the Pastel Society of America. She
served as President, Vice President, and Director of Exhibits for
the PSWC for more than 20 years before retiring from the Board
of Directors. Her work has been displayed in galleries throughout the United States and abroad in numerous group and one
person shows. Marbo’s art is in many private and public collections including the State of California.
Marbo has competed in major national and international open
juried exhibitions, winning more than 130 awards over her forty
year career. In 2008, Marbo was awarded the Pastel Laureate
Hall of Fame Award by the Pastel Society of the West Coast. The
Pastel Laureate award is the highest level of award presented
by the PSWC. It is presented to honorees in recognition of their
nationally and internationally significant contributions to the
advancement of the pastel medium.
This year the Club will recognize three artists who won a “Judg-
es Honor” for the work they submitted for the
Signature Painting:
Sharyn Miller’s, “Gondolier”, in Oil.
Jean Stevens, “Sweet Camellia Passion”, in Oil.
Bobbi Patton’s, “Oregon Fall”, in Oil. Congratulations to you all.
If you are an art lover and have visited Art Galleries around the world you have experienced
the peace and quiet, and sometimes awe that
comes from gazing at the incredible creations, and wondered
where the artist’s ability and inspiration came from. Many a budding artist starting out would have made a comment similar to
what will be heard all weekend, “Wow! I could never do that”.
The Sun City Fine Arts Club happily welcomes new members,
and has often heard the above statement. The choice of instructors and the quality of that instruction has helped numerous
new members see their efforts hanging in a home or even a gallery. At the monthly membership meeting an accomplished artist is invited to do a demonstration.
Another tradition will continue this year with guests being
asked to vote for their favorite piece of art. These People Choice
Awards will be presented at a final Champagne Celebration on
Sunday, March 20th at 2.30pm. The Timbers Creek artists invite
you all to attend this very special end of show Celebration.

Two Chiefs
Salute Our Community by Nick Catrantzos
The annual Citizen's Patrol
Appreciation Breakfast at
the Timber Creek Ballroom
on January 27 brought Roseville's local police and fire
chiefs, who came to offer
praise for the community
spirit that keeps Sun City in
high regard.
Fire chief Rick Bartee is a
relative newcomer from
Phoenix.
Having raised
their own kids, he and his
wife have adopted and are
now parenting three more,
Police Chief Daniel Hahn
which led him to choose
this area as a good place to raise them. This professional has been
to a number of national responses requiring urban search and
rescue expertise, including to Manhattan in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 and, more recently, to areas affected by Hurricane
Sandy. His remarks were brief, centering on how what he most
remembers from all his responses is the citizens who volunteer,
come together, and organize. Accordingly, he looks forward to reinstituting the Citizen’s Emergency Response Team for Roseville in
the near future.
Police chief Daniel Hahn came here from
Sacramento Police Department in 2011.
His first ten years on the police force in
Sacramento overlapped with the last ten
years of our own P. J. Conradi, who runs
the Citizen's Patrol and Neighborhood
Watch like a Swiss watch, and who also
retired as a Sargeant with vast experience and a hand at training what would
turn into Roseville’s current chief of police. Some of Chief Hahn’s insights follow.
rage doors is of the first importance.
Pitfalls of Catch-and-Release Changes in Law
In the last year, this city and others have had to bear the brunt of
changes in law and incarceration policies at the federal and state
level that have pushed new burdens onto the local level. Specifically, the push has been to release more and more convicts from
overcrowded prisons, leaving city and county jails to take up the
slack. A lot of drug-related crimes have been decriminalized to
the point of now generating citations instead of time behind bars.
This does no favors to property owners. Why?
The chief said that over 90% -- and then corrected himself to say
pretty close to 100% -- of all crimes against property involve offenders abusing some kind of drug. Right now, police can only
cite them if finding evidence of mere illicit drug abuse, unless
there is evidence of trafficking or additional crime as well. Even
then, if they bring someone to book into jail, they can't get the
new offender in unless someone is released to make room. This
compels a decision that weighs who is a worse threat to society,
hence more important to keep incarcerated, giving low-level criminals a chance to walk away with nothing more than a citation and
a court date.
What happens next, after catch-and-release? Invariably, two
things occur. One, the offender fails to appear at the scheduled
court date. Two, he or she returns to property crime in order to support a drug habit,
which could be methamphetamine or heroin. Consequently, crime statistics in the
area have been on the rise, even though
Roseville is better off than many other
communities in the region. Not wanting
to get too negative, though, the chief said
the onus remains on him and his officers to
figure this all out.
Over the holidays, he went along with his
officers on some bike patrols of parking
Fire Chief Rick Bartee

left a pre-printed note and flyer on the windshield. These are the
kinds of behaviors that attract criminals.
"People in Roseville have nice stuff and they don't lock it up."
A Positive Note
Consequently, the villains will load a bicycle into a pickup truck
and come to Roseville neighborhoods. While the woman sleeps On a better note, the chief pointed out one of his programs is conoff her drugs in the vehicle, the man will get on the bicycle to look sistently showing positive results. Every time he does this, shopfor unsecured homes and garages from which to liberate mer- lifting and robberies in the immediate area drop off. "Don't tell the
chandise. Then they both haul it away. All this fed into the chief's crooks, though," he implored. What is the secret? Sorry, you had

Heartland
WOW, all of those members who attended the CHILI night in
January were thoroughly entertained by our musical quartet.
Those 4 gentlemen, could they sing. They covered so many of
our favorite groups from the 60-70’s, great harmony, and their
rendition of the Beach Boys' songs were fantastic. What a great
evening.
Our next social will be on April 30th. This will be our” Spring
celebration “. Carolyn Smith, the Heartland’s most talented entertainment director has great plans for this evening. She hasn’t
quite finalized the entertainment for this night, she is waiting for
a “ call back “, but what I will say is this, judging by her past offerings, it will be good.
We will be serving spaghetti and garlic bread from Mary’s Pizza
Shack, along with salad and dessert. Your Heartlands Commitwww.scres.org

The Auction and Dessert evening that was held in January
proved to be a fun evening with interesting merchandise to sell.
It not only had our attendees bidding and laughing, but also
raised money for our treasury which will help supplies for future
meetings. Our auctioneer even took bids on the desserts that
were left over from an amazing selection for us all to enjoy.

We're looking forward to our Purim celebration on the evening
of March 20. Purim is a fun holiday entered on the story of wicked Haman who tried to destroy the Jews in Persia. Valiant Queen
Esther saved them. We'll present a fun program and the traditional Hamantashen treats. You won't want to miss it!
We are delighted to welcome Julie and Andrew Brasch into our
Fellowship. They hail from Paradise where Dr. Andrew recently
retired from his practice as a neurologist. That allowed Julie, his
office manager, to retire as well. Andrew was born in Hungary
where he practiced originally, then came to the U.S. and did additional training at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Julie's Agriculture degree from Cal Poly Pomona led to a Nashville job
where matchmaking friends introduced them; the rest is history!
Julie was born in Israel and moved to California at 13. The Brasch
family, including a son and daughter moved to California in 1986
where a second daughter was born. The older daughter teaches
Textiles at U.C. Davis where she just completed her Ph.D. Her sister lives in New Zealand and works for the Department of Conservation. The son, an Antelope resident, is an employee of the
federal government.
Julie and Andrew are outgoing and interesting people who
bring much talent to our Fellowship.
Mah Jongg
The February Luncheon had to be cancelled due to the remodeling of the Mah Jongg room and Timbers Lodge. The hostesses
for the February luncheon (Cindy Faulkner, Carol Rushton, Sidnee McKinney and Flo Miles) offered to host the April Luncheon
instead. There will be a sign-up sheet in the Mah Jongg room
in March so be sure and sign up as soon as possible. Please do
not forget that all Mah Jongg events are fragrance free. We have
a few ladies that are truly sensitive and allergic to various fragrances and have severe reactions.
An important note: While the Mah Jongg room was closed in
January, the officers took it upon themselves to clean out our
cabinets and organize the contents. All the cloth tablecloths
were washed and folded as there were quite a few stains on
them. If you happen to spill something on the cloth tablecloth, it
is your responsibility to take it home to wash and dry (low heat).
Please do not put the stained tablecloths back in the cabinet.
The plastic tablecloths were cleaned and organized into events:
Christmas, Valentines, Halloween, etc. along with the napkins
and plastic utensils. All the little black tips on the Mah Jongg
racks were glued on so we would not lose any more of them.
Unfortunately, glue ended up on some of the racks, so the next
project is to remove the excess glue and have the racks shiny and
new again.
With the new remodeling completed, let’s keep the atmosphere
bright and cheery as we learn to rotate tables once a month on
Mondays. It is a great opportunity to meet other members and
challenge yourself. If you want to take lessons, please contact
Lana Smiley at 782-2922 to sign up for a six week class.
Music & Laughter
If you attended our last Music & Laughter show and arrived
anytime between 6:30pm and 7pm (prior to showtime) you
were treated to some fabulous piano playing by a very talented
neighbor of ours, Joe Campagna. What a treat. What a great
introduction to a fun hour of musical entertainment, prizes,
sing-a-longs, and combination of talent. We hope that Joe, along
with our other performers, had as much fun as we did and will
continue to add their name to our “Open Mic” format sharing
their talent with us in the future. Due to Courier publication
deadlines here, we again must refer you to the Music & Laughter
Article in your current March issue of the Sun Senior News)
which comes in your mailbox each month) for many more details
regarding other entertainers who shared their talent with us.
Who knows, you may get to read about the talent of your next
door neighbor.
For those of you who still haven’t checked us out, don’t miss
our next gig on Wednesday evening, March 9th, 7pm, at our
Sierra Pines Lodge. You may also want to pick up our Music &
Laughter Flyer at the new Kiosk in our newly refurbished main
lodge which will include the dates of all our shows. Bring your
smiles and come on over to join in on the fun.We look forward
to greeting you there.
Postage Stamp
We’re into March and the stamp world is all about auctions worldwide that are offered weekly featuring some interesting stamps.
Stamps and mailed articles (envelopes, first day packets, and unusual cancellations and historically important mailings) are being offered by auction houses all over the world, and with the
ever-expanding electronic age, we all have access to the sales.
One of the more notable auctions will be in SF on March 18th
when a very special Hawaiian collection will be offered involving
early stamps dating to the Monarchy period in Hawaiian history.
They are a history book in themselves.
Worldwide attention is still focused on Asia as a source of heightened interest by collectors of stamps. The hobby is expanding
rapidly over there and, as usual, Chinese stamps are leading the
list. The ancient Indian States, which had a partial independence
under the British Raj, are very unusual and much-coveted by
many.
Our club recently updated our collection of Scott catalogs so if
anybody wants to see what that “old” album is worth on today’s
market, come to a Club meeting any 2nd or 4th Thursday at the
Sierra Pines Meeting Rooms at 6:30 pm. Al Capparelli can be contacted at 916-771-8288 if anyone has any questions as to collections, club membership, meeting times, etc.
We have door prizes, drawings, informational talks by members
on their specialties, outside trips to area facilities, stamp shows,
dinners during the year, and all the fun things involved in our
hobby.
Take peek at that “old” album up on the closet shelf and give a
thought to joining us twice a month at Sierra Pines. You won’t
regret it!!
SCR Birders
The rainy days of January continued into the first week of February, but a sunny day greeted SCR Birders on February 4th, the
scheduled date for a field trip to Stone Lakes National Wildlife
Area near Elk Grove. Many bird species were found at the Area
including Cinnamon Teal, White Tailed Kite, Black-bellied Plover,
Greater Yellow Legs, and hundreds of Greater White-fronted
Geese.
The Cosumnes River Park Preserve, not too far from Stone Lakes,
will be our destination on March 3rd. Here we expected to see
more migrating shore and water birds. On March 17th, we will
visit the Bobelaine Area, north of SCR on Hwy. 70/99. Bring a bag
lunch on the Cosumnes trip.
Mark your calendar for April 7th when SCR Birders will travel to
the Yolo Bypass Refuge off of Hwy. 80 between the towns of
West Sacramento and Davis. After bird watching, we will stop in
Davis for lunch before we return to SCR.

we heard from Mayor Carol Garcia in January, the decisions on
local issues directly affect our community. It is important that
we stay informed on these issues and local planning decisions.
Your vote is especially critical in these races, since so many voters neglect to complete their ballots. Please join us at the Timbers for a no-host lunch after the meeting, as the discussion
continues informally.

March 3 at 7:00 p.m. Our Speaker will be announced as soon

our March Meeting at Sierra Pines.
Meet in the Timbers Lobby at 7:15 am for scheduled trips from
March to May, 2016. Wear comfortable shoes, dress in layers
(weather can be unpredictable in the winter and spring), and
bring a pair of binoculars to see the birds "up close". If you
would like to be reminded of upcoming field trips, Lois McBride
(773-3603) will add you to the Birders' email list.
Birders are reporting frequent sightings of Cooper's Hawks (Accipiter cooperii) in SCR neighborhoods. This is a solitary bird
that nests in tall trees and feeds on small birds and mammals
captured in swift, surprise attacks. It is recognizable by its large
head, wide broad white and dark stripes on a long, roundish tail,
blue-gray back, and fine, red, horizontal barring on the front and
underparts. A male Cooper's Hawk is about 15-17 inches long
with a wingspan of about 30 inches.

SHORS
I can't believe it, this little 6 year old girl had the nerve to to tell
me " gosh Mister Norm you're old". This was after I helped her
with her math questions and she said see 3+3= 6 and that was
her age. I said I was 76 and then here eyes got very large and I realized that even if I said I was 36, I was still old. I realized that she
probably couldn't count to 76. It can be very humbling working
with 1st graders, but very rewarding and quite humorous.
Come join us at SHORS and see how much fun it is to participate
in helping a new generation go forward.
For information on joining SHORS please contact: Larry Leighton / President 916-784-1076 [email protected] or Audrey
Stoye / Membership Chairperson 916-774-1875 [email protected]
Table Tennis
One of the more confusing aspects of a sport is learning and remembering the rules of the game. We’ve gone over rules of the
game that apply to us, but there are some that are interesting
and slightly humorous. We know you aren’t supposed to move
the table, touch the net assembly or put your free hand on the
playing surface while the ball is in play, BUT you could actually
jump or sit on the table, as long as you don’t actually move the
table. Your free hand can touch the end of the table as long as
it’s the side. So if you start to lose your balance, you can simply
fall on the table and if you don’t move the table or touch it with
your free hand, you are perfectly legal. On a serious note, if you
bump and move the table while hitting the ball it’s an automatic fault. It is legal to hit the ball with your fingers or with your
racket hand below the wrist or even any part of the bat. Your
hand has to be holding the racket, though, so you can’t drop it
and hit the ball solely with your hand. You cannot throw your
racket at the ball. You must be carrying it when it hits the ball.
You are allowed to transfer your racket from hand to hand. If you
want to use two hands to hold the racket and hit the ball, that’s
legal. The ball must always be visible to the receiver throughout
the serve. It is illegal to drop your hand below the table when
serving or to put any part of your body between the ball and the
receiver. The ball must be thrown upwards without any spin, be
above the playing surface and behind the endline when serving.
Tai-Ji
Tai-Ji continues to be held every Monday from 2:00 to 3:00 PM in
the Aerobics Room in the Fitness Center and is free to all Sun City
residents. It is an excellent low stress way to exercise muscles and
joints and can be performed by anyone. No experience is necessary and you can learn at your own pace. The classes are free.
