Barry and Sue Johnson — A Down Under Reunion
Architect Bernard Maybeck designed
the Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina
District of San Francisco. Its Beaux
Arts architecture beside a lovely lagoon
provided the perfect setting for Barry
Johnson’s planned picnic with his future
wife, Sue. It was also the perfect setting
for their first kiss, the prelude to a future
marriage that began almost thirty-five
years ago.
Barry and Sue met when they lived
in the same Novato neighborhood. Barry
had been born in New Jersey and lived in
several states before his family moved to
San Francisco where he would spend his
high school and college years. He started
out studying engineering with the dream
of being a fighter pilot, but his career took
a different course. He worked as an auto
mechanic and then began the career that
would give him satisfaction for 32 years.
He worked for the San Francisco Police
Department and retired as a Lieutenant.

That picnic date brought more
than Barry and Sue together. Barry was
divorced with five children, and Sue
was widowed with two. The picnic was
romantic, but later family life prevailed.
Neighborhood Watch
Today they are proud grandparents of
thirteen grandchildren.
Sue was born in Australia and moved
to the United States with her mother and
stepfather, a Colonel in the US Army,
when she was four years old. Sue’s sevenyear old brother, John, stayed behind with
their father in Brisbane, and his father
married and added another son, Peter,
to their family. Like Barry, Sue lived in
various places herself and even worked in
France when her family moved there. She
returned to the United States, married,
and had two daughters before losing her
husband in a car accident. Sue worked
for years as a dental assistant and then
switched to real estate, a career she liked
very much.
After they were married, Barry and
Sue lived in Novato before moving to
Placer County with Sue’s mother. They
purchased a single story home on an acre
lot in Roseville’s Woodbridge Ranch so

list of accomplishments for the year on the

Mark Twain said, “If you don’t read
newspapers, you are uninformed; if you do
read newspapers, you are misinformed.” One
of the goals of Neighborhood Watch is to get
helpful and correct information to the residents
of SCLH as part of fulfilling our mission
statement, which states that Neighborhood
Watch:
• Strengthens neighborhood ties
• Increases personal safety and security
awareness
• Is the eyes and ears of the Lincoln Police
and Fire Departments
encourages emergency preparedness.
On November 7th, Neighborhood Watch
held its Annual Meeting and Fall Dessert
Potluck at Kilaga Springs. Executive Director
Larry Wilson welcomed Mail Box Captains,
Coordinators and Directors to the meeting and
took care of the business of reports. Pauline
Watson, the organization’s Secretary, verified
the presence of a quorum, and introduced the
Nominating Committee. Director Don Budde
read the bios of the four nominees, all of whom
were elected by acclamation. The newly elected
Directors are: Bill Carvalho of Village 35B,
Kathy Gire of Village 5AB, Richard Moore of
Village 21. Director Ron Wood was reelected
for a second term in Village 29, and Nancy
Whitaker rejoined the group after a hiatus of
one year in which she served as Neighborhood

Watch’s Administrative Coordinator.
Larry Wilson presented outgoing Director
Shirley Guzman, who served from November
2009 until November 2013, with the Executive
Director’s Recognition Award. Nancy
Whitaker will remain as Administrative
Coordinator but will also serve as a new
Director for Villages 10, 11, 38B, 40AB
and 41ABC. We appreciate very much the
dedicated service of these residents.
Wilson then delivered the annual list of
accomplishments for Neighborhood Watch
and announced that Lincoln has placed as
the 48th Safest City of more than 25,000
people in the United States. He then thanked
the chairs of the Potluck, Elaine Small and
Gus Alegado, and dismissed the crowd who
smelled deliciously of sugar and chocolate
At the Directors’ Meeting on November
14, the following officers were elected to
the Board of Directors: Executive Director:
Larry Wilson Assistant Executive Director:
Richard Moore
Secretary: Pauline Watson
Treasurer: Ron Wood
The other Directors are: Gus Alegado,
Nancy Whitaker, Don Budde, Don Larsen, Bill
Carvahlo, Elaine Small. Dave Conner accepted
the position as Special Projects Assistant as
part of the Support Committee.
You probably changed your clocks last
month, but we hope you also checked the

it is easier to remember if you check both the

Joshua Huntsinger pegged the total value

This year’s crop is expected to be one

the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The grant is being used to develop a

is to ensure their long-term prosperity
by increasing sales through agritourism
and to heighten awareness of mandarins
beyond the borders of Placer County and
California.
Experts say mandarin oranges
thrive in Placer County because they are
nurtured by the warm days and cool nights
in the foothills. Local growers make sure
their mandarins are packed with flavor by
letting them ripen on the trees and hand
picking them.

Audition Dates Set for
Love Letters at Lincoln
Community Theatre
The Lincoln Community Theatre
announces that auditions are being held
on December 8th and December 9th,
2013 for the A. R. Gurney Broadway hit
Love Letters. The location for auditions
is the Lincoln Art Center, 580 Sixth
Street, Lincoln California, from 6:30 PM
to 9:30 PM.
Show dates-- February 13, 14, 15,
2014.
There are two characters in the cast—
one each male and female.
The piece is comprised of letters
exchanged over a lifetime of two people
who grew up together, and went their
separate ways, but continued to share
confidences. As the cast reads the letters
aloud, what is created is an evocative,
touching, frequently funny, but always
telling pair of character studies in which
what is implied is as revealing and
meaningful as what is actually written
down. Love Letters is the perfect play
during Valentine’s Day weekend.
Questions may be submitted

Favorite
Restaurants
BY MARTIN GREEN
We have a miscellany of restaurants
to look at this month. We’ll start with
an Asian restaurant, the Red Lantern,
which is in the Thunder Valley casino.
Robert Schroeder e-mailed: “The first
time we went to the Red Lantern it was
with our friends Rita and Bob, who had
been there before. The restaurant is
located in the Thunder Valley Casino
and it is simply beautiful, with expensive
Chinese furniture, carpeting and other
appointments. The wait staff is polite
and attentive and are dressed in costume.
We ordered spring rolls ($7), zesty orange
chicken ($14), Mongolian beef ($15) and
walnut prawns ($18), all standard Chinese
fare. The food was simply delicious. We
had not found Chinese food this good in
the Sacramento area before.
“As an example, almost all Chinese
restaurants in the area offer orange
chicken, but other versions either have
a chewy coating or the chicken is on the
tough side. At the Red Lantern, the
orange chicken was lightly breaded, the
sauce was tasty, and the chicken was light
and tender. We found the same quality in
the other dishes as well. In my opinion,
this is the finest Chinese restaurant in
the area, and we are so glad to learn of
it. Of course, we have returned and
have experienced the same quality in
other dishes. This restaurant is as good
as the best Chinese we have eaten when
we lived in the Bay Area.”
Thank you, Robert. As I replied to
him, when visiting Thunder Valley we have
usually eaten at the buffet, which we
have usually found to be good, but we
may have to
try the Red Lantern next time.
Another Asian restaurant in our area
which we’ve always found to be good is P.F.
Chang’s, at 1180 Galleria Boulevard in the
Creekside Town Center. I’m assuming that
most readers are familiar with P.F. Chang’s
and have written about it here before. I
mention it because Beverly recently had
lunch there with a group of friends and
liked the Lo Mein. The lunch menu is
served Monday through Saturday until 4
PM and has many choices under Noodles,
Meins and Rice, Chicken, Beef, Seafood
and Vegetarian, at moderate prices. All
dishes are served with steamed rice and
a choice of egg drop soup, hot and sour
soup or mixed green salad.
Chang’s also has an extensive glutenfree menu. The restaurant is open
Monday-Thursday and Sunday, 11AM-11
PM ; Friday and Saturday, 11AM-12 AM.
The phone number is 788-2800.
Another restaurant we’ve been to
before and have written about and which
I’m sure is familiar to most readers is the
Outback Steakhouse. We went there for
lunch because Outback is now offering
three small (6 oz.) sirloin teak entrees:
the Bloomin Sirloin, which is topped with
onions; the Sirloin with wild mushroom
sauce; and the Sirloin Diablo, which
topped with a zesty chili pepper cream
sauce. All come with Aussie fries. I had
one of these, which I thought just about
right for a lunch meal. Outback is at 181
N. Sunrise Avenue. Hours are: MondayThursday, 4-10; Friday, 3:30-11; Saturday,
12-11; Sunday, 12-9. The phone number
is 772-6060.
I’ve been meaning to write about the
Crossroads Café on the campus of William
Jessup University at 333 Sunset Boulevard
in Rocklin since our son Michael, who lives
and works in Rocklin mentioned it to me.
The long sandwich and-salad bar features
ham, turkey, roast beef and cheeses; a trio
of soups (including the unusual chicken
marsala); luscious roast vegetables and
chicken salad; and a cornucopia of fresh
vegetables and fruits, vibrant with color
and waiting for splashes of five really good
salad dressings.” Hours are: breakfast,
7:30-9:30 Mondays-Fridays; lunch, 10:302, Mondays-Fridays (hot entress, 11-1);
dinner 5-7 daily; brunch, 11-1 weekends.
The really interesting information is that
breakfast is $8.50; lunch, $9.50; dinner,
$10:50; brunch, $10. I’d say we have a
bargain eating place in our area. And
Michael says the food there is really good.
It’s not a restaurant but Beverly and
I recently went into the Fresh Market in
the Rocky Ridge Town Market and I’d
like to recommend it for its nice selection
of fruits, vegetables, bakery goods and
other items. Fresh Market’s website says
it started 30 years ago in Greensboro,
North Carolina and is meant to be a
smaller European-style store. The address
is 2030 Douglas Boulevard. Hours are:
Monday-Saturday, 9-9; Sunday, 9-8. The
phone number is 791-8111.
Finally, Beverly and I recently had
lunch at Slice of Goodness, mentioned
here a number of times because it simply
has the best pies in the area, maybe in
California, and they’re now on sale for
Christmas. Slice of Goodness is at 924
Douglas Boulevard.
The phone number is 781-3727.
Please keep letting me know about
your favorite restaurants, new or old;
my e-mail is [email protected]
Thak you.

On the label of the fertilizer box or bag,
you will see three numbers such as 12-4-8.
The first number tells you the
percentage of NITROGEN in the product.
Nitrogen is the key to plant growth, the
development of foliage, and a rich green
color.
The second number represents the
percentage of PHOSPHATE – the key
to strong roots and the substance that
produces nice flowers and fruit.
The third and final number is for the
percentage of POTASH in the box. Potash
does many things including promoting
strong stems and branches and fighting
disease and cold.
The question people ask me most is
“What fertilizer should I use as my blue
ribbon product for all my plants?”
My answer is that I always use the
specialty fertilizers like “Lawn Food”,
“Citrus Food”, Rose and Flower Food”,
“Azalea and Rhododendron Food” etc.
This is because such granular fertilizers
have that peculiar combination of Nitrogen,
Phosphate, and Potash that the particular
class of plants like most when they dine.
For all other plants – and, by the way a
large majority of plants are in this “other”
category - a mix of 3 parts 16-16-16 General
Purpose Fertilizer and 1 part Ironite is an
excellent food. You do the mixing in a
paint bucket or similar and then just keep
it handy (and dry).
Lastly, some granular fertilizer
manufacturers advertise the existence of
“Trace Elements” in their product. In
this region, such elements are normally
found in adequate amounts in the soil –
EXCEPT for Iron and sometimes also
Calcium. In fact, our region is known to
be short of iron in the soil and so we add
Ironite to our triple 16 - as described above.
Calcium deficiency is more rare – but can
be overcome with light doses of powdered
milk or other calcium-rich items.
Future articles will discuss when and
how to feed plants and will also touch on
other fertilizers. So, stay tuned!

Seniors Need to Know!
Debunking the Myths of Older Adult Falls
Many people think falls are a normal
part of aging. The truth is, they’re not.
Most falls can be prevented—and
you have the power to reduce your risk.
Exercising, managing your
medications, having your vision checked,
and making your living environment safer
are all steps you can take to prevent a fall.
Every year on the first day of fall,
we celebrate National Falls Prevention
Awareness Day to bring attention to this
growing public health issue. To promote
greater awareness and understanding
here are 10 common myths—and the
reality—about older adult falls:
Myth 1: Falling happens to other
people, not to me.
Reality: Many people think, “It won’t
happen to me.”, but the truth is that 1 in 3
older adults—about 12 million—fall every
year in the U.S.
Myth 2: Falling is something normal
that happens as you get older.
Reality: Falling is not a normal part
of aging. Strength and balance exercises,
managing your medications, having your
vision checked and making your living
environment safer are all steps you can
take to prevent a fall.
Myth 3: If I limit my activity, I won’t
fall.
Reality: Some people believe that the
best way to prevent falls is to stay at home
and limit activity. Not true. Performing
physical activities will actually help you
stay independent, as your strength and
range of motion benefit from remaining
active. Social activities are also good for
your overall health.
Myth 4: As long as I stay at home, I
can avoid falling.
Reality: Over half of all falls take
place at home. Inspect your home for fall
risks. Fix simple but serious hazards such
as clutter, throw rugs, and poor lighting.
Make simple home modifications, such
as adding grab bars in the bathroom, a
second handrail on stairs, and non-slip
paint on outdoor steps.
Myth 5: Muscle strength and flexibility
can’t be regained.
Reality: While we do lose muscle as we
age, exercise can partially restore strength
and flexibility. It’s never too late to start
an exercise program. Even if you’ve been
a ‘couch potato’ your whole life, becoming
active now will benefit you in many ways—
including protection from falls.
Myth 6: Taking medication doesn’t
increase my risk of falling.

Reality: Taking any medication may
increase your risk of falling. Medications
affect people in many different ways and
can sometimes make you dizzy or sleepy.
Be careful when starting a new medication.
Talk to your health care provider about
potential side effects or interactions of
your medications.
Myth 7: I don’t need to get my vision
checked every year.
Reality: Vision is another key risk
factor for falls. Aging is associated with
some forms of vision loss that increase risk
of falling and injury. People with vision
problems are more than twice as likely to
fall as those without visual impairment.
Have your eyes checked at least once a
year and update your eyeglasses. For those
with low vision there are programs and
assistive devices that can help. Ask your
optometrist for a referral.
Myth 8: Using a walker or cane will
make me more dependent.
Reality: Walking aids are very
important in helping many older adults
maintain or improve their mobility.
However, make sure you use these devices
safely. Have a physical therapist fit the
walker or cane to you and instruct you
in its safe use.
Myth 9: I don’t need to talk to family
members or my health care provider if
I’m concerned about my risk of falling. I
don’t want to alarm them, and I want to
keep my independence.
Reality: Fall prevention is a team
7
effort. Bring it up with your doctor, family,
and anyone else who is in a position to
help. They want to help you maintain your
mobility and reduce your risk of falling.
Myth 10: I don’t need to talk to my
parent, spouse, or other older adult if
I’m concerned about their risk of falling.
It will hurt their feelings, and it’s none of
my business.
Reality: Let them know about your
concerns and offer support to help
them maintain the highest degree of
independence possible. There are many
things you can do, including removing
hazards in the home, finding a fall
prevention program in the community,
or setting up a vision exam.

Mary Ellen
Unzelman, daughter
of John and Ellen
Doran passed
away October 16,
2013. She was born
September 20, 1917
in Seattle, WA. A
M e m o r i a l M a s s Mary Ellen Unzelman
was held at Calvary
Catholic Cemetery in Sacramento.
Mary Ellen graduated from Holy
Names Academy and then from Seattle
University School of Nursing in 1939. She
became Director of Nurses at Providence
St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, WA. During
World War II she took her commission in
the Navy Nurse Corps. Later in her life she
received her Masters Degree in Psychiatric
Social Work from LSU in Baton Rouge, LA.
Mary Ellen is survived by her husband,
George, two children, John Unzelman of
Park City, MT and Marjorie French of
Rancho Murieta, CA, son-in-law Michael,
two-step granddaughters and three stepgreat granddaughters. She is also survived
by a sister, Patricia Holm of Vancouver, WA
and many nieces and nephews.
She traveled extensively with her
husband throughout Europe, South

and hobbies included bridge, oil painting
and Irish Belleek Pottery collecting. Age
related macular degeneration slowed her
down in recent years but not in spirit. She
battled on just as when she survived breast
cancer in the late 50’s.
To the end Mary Ellen was dearly loved
by her family, they all know that God has
His arms around her.

Country Couples
BY TERRI KRCHA
The night was young, the room was
buzzing with friendly chatter as members
greeted old friends and acquaintances while
music filled the air at the Sun City Roseville
dance sponsored by Jim and Jeannie Keener
on November 3rd. The table decorations
for the belated Halloween dance consisted
of pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, “spooky-eyed”
skulls and fuzzy black spiders. Many of the
members came in costumes befitting the
occasion.
Before the evening dance got under way,
we all enjoyed a scrumptious array of mouthwatering appetizers followed by unable to
resist desserts that included Jeannie’s famous
strawberry cake. As members moved to the
floor, the dancing began with just about
everyone joining in… it was a great time
enjoyed by all.
A big thank you is overdue to Larry Eckert
who hosts the Song Gatherer website, Larry
Brigleb who takes pictures for Country Couples
activities and Diane Carney for the wonderful
articles she writes for the Compass. You are
much appreciated.
We hope you are looking forward to our
next affair that will be the Holiday Dinner/
Dance on December 3rd at Orchard Creek
from 5 to 9 p.m.

As December closes 2013, it closes
clogging classes as well. A Christmas party,
Dec. 3rd, at Kilaga Springs Lodge, ended
classes for the year. Anita Tyson and Connie
Stephens planned the entertaining party. “Toys
For Tots” were collected. Janice, instructor,
cued several songs.
We have had a good year with increased
membership. The new members bring an
enthusiastic spirit to our group. With Janice’s
push, we are dancing better and extending our
knowledge of clogging steps.
Those cloggers wishing to continue
dancing in December, can go to “Rocklin
Park and Recreation Center” and register.
Janice Hanzel teaches there on Thursdays:
Beginners at 10AM - 11AM; Intermediates
11AM to 12Noon. Anyone wanting to learn
clogging can sign up, no restrictions. Lincoln

Tap Company
BY NATALIE GROSSNER
The Lincoln Hills Tap
Company is setting its sights on
its blockbuster April 2014 show,
Remembering Rosie. Our show
is written and directed by Peggy
and Paul Schechter, the same
team that brought you this years’
Eldercare Referral Service
for Seniors and their Families
at no Charge to You
smash hit Presenting Simply Broadway.
In late 1942, American men were engaged
in fierce battle. On the home front, Rosie the
Riveter became symbolic of women taking
jobs in war production in increasing numbers.
Meet our Rosie (Janet Becker) and her
friends (Gloria Gibbons, Jackie Wilson and
Meryl Bloom and Ninette Murray) as they
leave civilian jobs and adjust to factory life
in the Peterson Aircraft Factory. Our show
will honor these women by presenting their
story against the background of the period’s
popular music, including “In the Mood”,
“Boggie Woogie Bugle Boy” and “Don’t Sit
Under the Apple Tree” featuring our tappers
and sung by our trio, the fabulous Landers
Sisters. Other memorable songs include “I’ll
Be Seeing You,” “We’ll Meet Again”, “I’ll
Get By”, “The Fleet’s In”, “What Do You Do
in the Infantry” and many more popular and
patriotic songs of that time. Mark your new
calendars now for April 3-5, 2014. Like this
years’ show, it will be surely sell out.
The tap company is having a recruitment
contest to see how many beginners we can
get for Alyson’s beginner class in January.
For anyone who recruits a new tapper, you
will receive a handmade “blah blah” from
our President, Janet Becker. It will be a
handcrafted item from her
sewing room to your hands made
Rosie
with pure appreciation for your
effort. You do not even have

LH Painters Club
BY JACQUIE HILTON
The highlight of our November meeting
was our self-portrait challenge, entered by 20
of our club members. A secret vote by those
present awarded the following artists: Nancy
Slone, 1st, Bob Porter, 2nd, and Marilyn
Rose, 3rd.
The Haggin Museum buss trip, November
14, organized together with the LH Association,
was a sell-out and much enjoyed by those
attending.
Upon her return from an extended
vacation, President, Joyce Bisbee, along with
Program Chairs, Paulette Pesazvento and
Bonnie Dunlap, has hit the ground running,
investing considerable effort in the planning
of several upcoming events and art shows.
The next event, planned by Paulette and
Bonnie, is our annual Artists’ Table Luncheon
in the Orchard Creek Lodge Solarium on
December 3rd.
At our January Membership Meeting,
forms for participation in our 11th annual Fine
Arts Show, scheduled for
February 21st thru 23rd, will be handed
out and reviewed.
In February, Michael Mikalon will honor
us with a drawing demo. You are reminded
that, beginning in January, Michael will be
teaching two art classes here: Drawing and
Water Color.
For Show and Tell, the following artists
shared recent works with us: Jack Cook, Gary
Hoffman, Ron Bauer, Jim Brunk, Bob Maske,
Jonie Adams, and Joyce Bisbee. We all thank
them, especially for their candid comments

Needle Arts---Threads of
Friendship
BY TWILA MILLER
Needle Arts Lincoln Hills will be having
their annual Holiday Tea on Wednesday,
December 11, 2013, at 12 noon at the Orchard
Creek ballroom. Reservations can be made
by contacting Kris Volker at (916) 380-2488.
The cost is $10.00 for members and $20.00
for guests. Reservations and payment must
be made by December 2.
In October, Clareen Bolton and Bev
Johnson (two leaders in Community Service)
had the privilege of playing in the Lincoln Hills
Patriots Honor Golf Tournament. Patriot’s
Honor is a local chapter that supports wounded
veterans, many of whom are amputees. The
purpose of this organization is to help wounded
warriors from current and past service to
participate in sports and athletics as a means
of helping them on a road to recovery. This is
the same organization that received two Quilts
of Valor donated by Lincoln Hills Needle Arts
Community Service. Clareen and Bev were
surprised to see the donated quilts on display
the day of the tournament, and they were
asked to present the quilts to the recipients at
the lunch after golf. It was such a pleasure for
them to meet Russ Martin and Chris Wicks and
personally hand them their quilts. Both Russ
and Chris were so thankful and appreciative of
the gift of a Quilt of Valor. Clareen and Bev
both concur that this was such an honor for
them and a memory they will each treasure.
Membership in the Needle Arts
Group is open to any person who resides in
Sun City Lincoln Hills and belongs to the
SCLH Community Association. Needle
Arts members who pay dues are considered
in good standing and may participate in all
group activities including breakout groups,

LH Photography Group
BY JEFF ANDERSEN
While only on occasion having something
worthwhile to semantically mangle, this
month’s inspirational expiration has left a
Florida sinkhole in my graphomania. I’ve
heard it said that this column defines purple
prose, or that the plethora of words exceeding
two syllables is too taxing. Poppycock.
Truthfully – as in Tooth Fairy – this is an
insider’s verbal assault on things photographic
that’s sometimes read – at their own risk – by
outsiders. On the other hand, if an insider is
someone with a camera, then the ranks of the
outsider are dwindling faster that the value
of a central Florida home because virtually
everyone has a camera: In hand, in a phone,
hidden in their spectacles or in the faux pen
in the shirt pocket...whatever. All this is to day
absolutely nothing at all, save for an ardent
wish for a rewarding Christmas holiday season
and a sobering New Year.

Happy
Holidays
Our group is a thankfully eclectic
collection of landscape, event, wildlife,
architectural, fine art, and maybe even goofy
photographic interests. Some of us prefer
automatic point-and-shoot cameras, some
shoot DSLRs, a few use film, and others are
committed early-adopters who can’t stand
being anything other than the first person on
the block to own the latest technology. Each of
these many threads are woven into the fabric
of our group and form our common bond the love of photography. We have monthly
challenges to enhance our skills, regular
internal show-and-tell events, plus outsidethe-compound displays of our images. Some
show and sell their work, others shudder at
the mere thought of such exposure. We have
field trips and speakers and discussion groups
to expand our photographic horizons. We do a
lot of stuff, and if only some of it is of interest
to you, you should check us out.
We meet four times a month, each time for
different reasons, and our regularly scheduled
meetings are always on Wednesdays. Visit our
website SCLHPhoto.com News Page for more
information about our activities and contacts.
The General Meeting is on the second
Wednesday of the month, 8:30AM – 10:30AM
KS Presentation Hall - usually with a featured
speaker. The other gatherings are of the
Special Interest Groups (SIGs). On the 1st
Wednesday of the month, this SIG intermixes
“Camera” and “Photo Enhancement” subjects
and that meeting is from 8:30AM-10:00AM
in the Multi-Media Room of Orchard Creek.
“Camera” is about how to operate that
computer attached to a lens. “Enhancement”
is about fixing shooting errors and creating

Antiques Club
BY SHIRLEY CURTIS
We had a wonderful program at our
November meeting! One of our members
showed her collection of Carnival Glass and
gave us a very interesting history about it. The
pieces were beautiful, usually multicolor with
a shimmer of oil and water- like iridescence.
There are 2000 patterns and over 50 colors
in different shades and combinations. It was
not used as dinnerware but as decorative
pieces and was most sought after from 1907
until the depression and often called the poor
man’s Tiffany. After WW2 it was often given
away at carnivals, then in the 60ís became a
collectors item. The presentation was very
much enjoyed by all.
In place of our Dec. 2nd meeting will be
our annual Christmas Brunch in the Ballroom
at Orchard Creek Lodge from 10:00 to 12:00
a.m. Thanks to Ann reyner and her committee
we look forward to delicious food, beautiful
decorations and lively entertainment! It’s
always a great way to start off the Holiday
Season!
One of our favorite programs, “show
and tell” is coming up for the first meeting
of the New Year. Please bring one or two of
your favorite antique or vintage possessions,
possibly a new acquisition! Hope to see you
all there!

SCLH Genealogy Club
BY BILL HILTON
There are no general meetings planned for
the Sun City Lincoln Hills Genealogy Club in
December. However, it is fitting at this time to
pay tribute to the members who have selfishly
given of their time to provide 148 family
memberships, the monthly meeting speakers.
Members BJ Ollas, Joanne Schumacher,
Kathy Propersi, Arlene Rond, Pat Boudreaux,
Marjorie Walker, Darlene Ornduff, and Sandra
Berry were the meeting facilitators for the
year just completed...2013. Responsible for
four of those meetings was vice-president,
Joanne Schumacher and member Sandra Berry
for two of our meetings. Arlene Rond is our
webmaster...and, has done a fantastic job in
keeping it up to date...and, as testament to its
value...our website experiences over a thousand
“hits” each month!
Our appreciation to the other Steering
Committee members, Pat Boudreaux,
Secretary; Neil Hanson and Lodge Carlton,
Treasurer; Kathy Propersi, Membership;
Communications Coordinator, Maureen
Sausen; Social Committee Coordinator,
Darlene Ornduff; and door prize coordinator,
Mary Rimerman.
Many genealogy topics were presented
to our members by experienced genealogy
experts, most of which have been active in
genealogy research for years and for which
the membership were fortunate enough to
be in attendance.
The general meetings in 2013 were unique
in that a door prize was awarded to one lucky
member each month. The month of July was
time for a social event attended by most all
the membership...an ICE CREAM SOCIAL!
And in the month of November, following the
general meeting...the members moved across
the hall to enjoy another social event...PIE
and favorite beverage! Now, it doesn’t get any
better than that!
At this time, our Nominating committee
will be searching for members to serve on

Italian Club
BY LINDA LUCCHETTI
The Lincoln Hills Italian Club (LHIC)
held a turkey dinner and bingo event at the
McBean Pavilion in November. To kick off this
season of giving, club members donated more
than 34 bags and boxes of food worth more than
$750 to assist those in the Lincoln community
through the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
In addition, during the club’s Christmas
party, members collected toys and gift cards
to benefit children in need. The toy collection
was sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corp’s Toys
for Tots and the Lincoln Fire Department.
It’s almost time to “get crackin’.” The
LHIC will conduct its first event of the New
Year, the annual Crab Feed -- Friday, Jan. 17,
at the McBean Pavilion. A social hour will
be held at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m.
Contact Jennifer Lauchner at 543-2858. Don’t
miss out on this tasty feast.
“Membership Matters,” the campaign
launched in October to enlist new members is
gaining momentum. An energetic committee
of some 20 current members met in midNovember to roll out a plan. With word of
the campaign underway, the club already has
enlisted several new members. Stay tuned for
more updates.
The LHIC is a social club established
in 2003 to promote Italian culture and
camaraderie of fellow Italians living in Sun City,
Lincoln Hills. Join us for fun and friendship.

Rods & Relics Car Club
BY ELNA RAGAN
November was not a busy Car Show
month for us, but it did keep us busy with
other car-related tasks. It was a time to start
to clean the garage, shape up our cars and/
or trucks, and get ready for next year. It was
also a time to be thankful for our family, our
friends, and the Association of California Car
Clubs that lobbies diligently to preserve our
ability to drive and enjoy our collector cars.
Without the Association’s help, we would have
to trailer our vehicles to shows and/or have to
keep them garaged.
December 7 is our Christmas Party. We
will not have a General Business Meeting at
Strikes but will get together at the Del Webb
Orchard Creek Lodge Ballroom for a festive
evening with a special entertainment program.
We will also be providing toys for the Marines’
“Toys for Tots” Program. The toys will be
distributed to those in need.
Upcoming Events —

to chemo treatments, doctors, or just general

very hard to accommodate all the needs of
our members but some of us are not healthy
either. Also, we are getting older! We need
to have members step up to help your fellow
members. It’s just that simple. Bosom Buddies
is a support group. Support FOR ALL BY
ALL the members.
The members that need our help are
fighting cancer and all their strength is needed
to stay alive. Cancer doesn’t discriminate; it
affects the rich and famous as much as the poor
and obscure. Members of Bosom Buddies
have experienced numerous cancers, various
treatments, and any number of after effects.
Bosom Buddies currently has 56 members,
ten of whom make up The Core. At any one
time we may have four to five of our members
who need our assistance.
The categories that need filling are:
transportation, meals, lending an ear to
someone needing to talk, sitting with someone
while they are having chemo, and just being
a buddy. Please contact Patty McCuen (4084185; [email protected]) or Val Singer

categories.

Thoughts From Jack—
My, But The World Is Changing
BY JACK FABIAN
No question about it, the world is changing
significantly… and not necessarily for the
better. For example, have you noticed the pizza
you get, and the one in the ad that tempted
you to buy it, are completely different? The
one in the ad has all this good stuff piled on
it, but the one you get has a thin scattering of
those ingredients
How ‘bout when you go into the market
to get some frozen fish packages and you spot
one that shows breaded halibut fillets, and
it’s only $14 a pound. How can that not be
delicious! The picture on the box shows these
very thick delightfully flakey fillets that make
you anxiously want to get home and bake it
right now. At home, you open the package
and take these precisely measured breaded
fillets and put ‘em in the oven. What comes out
looks scrumptious, until you take that first bite.
With the absence of ‘flakey’ halibut completely,
you chew into this preformed patty of mealy
ground up left over pieces of fish and realize
you’ve been had, and at $14 a pound. As one
cannibal said to the other as they were eating
a clown, “Does this taste funny to you?”
What’s happening here is that the quality
of food is deteriorating, but the photography
of food is nothing short of perfection. This
is false advertising in action, achieving the
profit objectives, and satisfying the greed of
big corporations. Another accomplishment
of advanced technology. Bon appetit!
And now, an entirely different subject —
what ever happened to the teaching of speech
and diction? Today’s kids, even if they happen
to have good diction, speak at a speed that
our audio systems can’t process and keep up
with. It’s no wonder so much information is
misunderstood or misused. They are going
to become perfect candidates for Congress.
Your favorite television shows are in
there competing for the worst sound ever.
How many times have you not been able to
understand what an actor has said, either
because they spoke too fast, they were trying
to be casual and mumbled, or they were
completely obliterated by an overabundance
of sound effects that are supposedly there to
make the show more exciting.
To fully appreciate what I’m referring
to, listen to the news, commercials, and some
old movies. The problem does not exist in
those areas.
We shouldn’t be pressing 1 for English,
we should be pressing 1 for good clear speech
and fewer sound effects.

Sue Johnson with her brother Peter Reid.
The couple enjoys Lincoln Hills’
facilities and plays pool at Orchard
after dinners at Meridians. They also
have fun with couples’ Bunco groups. In
addition, Barry serves as Police Liaison
to Neighborhood Watch and is the
Neighborhood Watch Co-Coordinator
for Village 33.
So life would seem to be pleasant
and predictable at this point. Two years
ago, three days before Christmas, it all
changed. On their way to dinner one night
their cell phone rang. Barry answered
and listened as a man speaking with an
Australian accent insisted he was “not a
stalker, really”, he was Sue’s half- brother,
Peter. Policeman Barry was unsure at first
and then realized this call was legitimate.
In a minute or so, both Sue and her brother
were in tears…the joyful kind. Barry was
and still is a cheerleader for everything
that phone call started.
Peter’s search for his sister was not the
first of the sibling searches. When she was a
teenager, Sue asked for her mother’s help
to find her father. Her mother reluctantly
located an address for her. Sue sat down
and wrote her father a letter, a letter that
never received a reply. However, her
younger half-brother, Peter, remembered
hearing about that letter and wanted to
find Sue. So when his computer-savvy
son-in-law said he might be able to find
23
her on the internet, Peter was ready to go.
The siblings first saw each other at
the San Francisco Airport, after Peter
and wife Yvonne’s flight from Brisbane.
Sue was immediately embraced by her
“new” Australian sister-in-law
and then by the tearful, but
delighted, Peter. Brother and
sister were, and still are, ecstatic
and emotional about their
relationship. That first visit was
Peter’s idea as a way to celebrate
Sue’s 70th birthday. They visited
for two weeks at the Johnsons’
home and in Monterey, time that
Sue said “flew by” far too fast.
Sue is proud of Peter’s
accomplishments as an Equine
Veterinary Surgeon. He is wellknown for identifying the Hendra
virus that is fatal to horses and
has proved fatal to humans as
well. His Hendra virus work has brought
him to the United States for collaborative
research, and he is not a stranger to states
such as Kentucky known for racehorses.
Visits to Northern California have their
own purpose however, and that one that
delights Sue and Barry.
Their second family visit took place in
Hawaii where Sue and Barry go for annual
vacations. That visit also included Sue’s
biological brother, John, and his wife.
All three couples enjoyed spending time
together, laughing and crying. Peter hopes
their next visit will be Sue and Barry’s
first trip to Australia because he would
like to introduce them to a lovely beach
area where they can spend a relaxed time.
After spending 29 years together in
Novato, Lincoln Hills is now home to Sue
and Barry. Australia beckons however,
and it probably won’t be long before the
couple makes that trip come true, and
koalas and sunny beaches add to their
growing family photo collection.

Chief of Quality for the Roseville Kaiser
Medical Group. Dr. Garone’s wit and
expertise made for a delightful hour and a
half and left us all wanting more! Doctor’s
message was mainly that we all have a choice
as to how we want to end our life. Whether
or not you want to be revived once your heart
has stopped, as CPR may have residual after
effects. The important thing to keep in mind is
that YOU need to make that choice in writing
and give this information to your loved ones.
Thank you Dr. Garone.
Call Jane Nichols, 209-3712 to make
reservations for this Christmas party!!! Your
newsletter will have more details.
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 Flo Hansen (408-7207).
If you wish to meet for lunch at the
Meridians before the next meeting, please
contact Marilyn Poole for reservations. (4348902).
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…

Alzheimer’s/Dementia
Caregiver’s Support Group
As the photo shows, we had a large
turnout and once again Cindy provided us all
with a great meeting. Thanks Cindy!
On a brighter note, our president, Patty
McCuen, is once again offering her home
for the Bosom Buddies Christmas Party on
December 12th. She decorates beautifully
and, if the last few years are indicative of what’s
to come, we will have a great time. Cindy and
Kay have been busy making the gifts to be
given to everyone at the party. It is such fun
to see what they will come up with next! No
one leaves without a special gift.
BY JEAN EBENHOLTZ
The Support Group will not be meeting
in December. The first meeting of 2014 will
be on Wednesday, January 22, at 1:00 PM in
the Multi-Purpose Room of OC Lodge.
Being a caregiver is one of the most
difficult jobs one can undertake. Holidays
can be especially difficult for caregivers. If
you know someone who is caring for a loved
one with memory impairment, consider giving
them a gift of your time. Visiting the family for
an hour or two, so that the caregiver can have
time for him/herself to wrap a gift, shop online
or take a nap, would be most appreciated.
If you are a caregiver for a loved one
with dementia, we hope you will plan to join
our support group in 2014. We meet on the
4th Wednesday of each month at 1:00 PM.
PET SITTING
Our programs alternate between discussion
meetings, where issues of concern to
those attending are discussed and solutions
presented, and presentations by experts who
bring information of interest to our members.
We also have an excellent collection of books,
and DVDs you may borrow and peruse at home
or share with family and friends.
Wishing you all pleasant holidays.

The Healthy Eating Club
BY DON R. RICKGAUER
It was a Herculean task indeed, but we
took it on anyway. The challenge?...take
the traditional Thanksgiving dinner we all
grew up with and transform it into a healthy
and enjoyable eating experience without
sacrificing any of the tastes, the aromas and
the textures that we fondly remember from
those wonderful family gatherings. We were
raised by depression-era parents with endless
ways to take household frugality to new levels,
but Thanksgiving was the rare exception when
the restraints seemed to vanish and it seemed
like the world was our oyster – at least for one
day. We dined richly on second helpings of
turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and rich
gravy, a favorite vegetable, cranberry sauce,
rolls, an appetizer, pumpkin pie and one other
vegetable dish from Aunt Hortense that never
quite earned a name.
At our November 14 club workshop we
prepared a complete traditional Thanksgiving
dinner for a large tableful of members and
marveled over how successful we were at
cutting our consumption of the bad stuff (the
Turkey cooked and carved the “right way”
and Club Workshop on November 14th.
sodium, the sugar and the saturated fat) by
an astounding fifty to eighty percent without
losing the qualities of the dishes that we all
love! This supports our previous findings that
just about all our traditional dishes can be
easily made healthier by applying a relatively
simple set of standards to our food selection
and preparation…just lower the sodium, lower
the sugar, lower the saturated fat and increase
the fiber. The findings of this workshop have
been made available to the club membership,
along with many recipes and other findings
from our workshops.

The Healthy Eating Club
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 food topics and
food-related activities. At our small gatherings
we call “workshops” we sample healthy foods
prepared by volunteer members at a member’s
home, or in some cases a full meal is prepared.
Recent workshops featured the Thanksgiving
Dinner workshop, healthy grain-based salads,
healthy desserts, healthy sandwiches and a
hearty and nutritious vegetarian lunch. We
invite guest speakers to our meetings to talk
on various food-related topics, and we plan two
members-only potluck suppers, one in April
and the one we just held on October 16 at the
Sports Pavilion. November’s guest speaker
was Dr. Carol Jong, PhD and R.D. speaking
on various aspects of seniors concerns about
nutrition and healthy eating.
At our monthly general meetings we
discuss such diverse topics as upcoming site
tours of food-related businesses, local farmers
market schedules, ways to make common
dishes more healthy and food-related topics
currently in the news. Each month we select
a common American dish and then find ways
to make it a healthier one while retaining the
tastes and textures that have made it so popular.
In October we worked over recipes for one of
everyone’s favorite American dishes - chilli.
This recipe makeover series has taught us that
the methods we settled upon to improve the
dishes we’ve already made over are methods
that can be used to improve many other dishes
we all routinely prepare in our kitchens. The
lessons we are learning from this series are
invaluable to anyone interested in healthy
eating.
Contact Don Rickgauer, Club
Chairperson, at 253-3984 for information on
our Club, or email at Healthy_Eating_Club @
Yahoo.com. Our monthly general meetings are
on the 4th Monday of the month at 2:00 pm in
Presentation Hall at Kilaga Springs Lodge, but
the membership chose not to have a general
meeting in December. Guests are welcome
at our general meetings, but Club workshops
where we sample various healthy foods are
for members only. Since becoming an official
Association-sanctioned club in January 2013
we have grown to a paid membership of over 90
members and we’re still growing. The annual
membership fee is $15.

Eye Contact
BY BARBARA SMITH
Low vision support group — There will

luncheon.
Eye Openers —
The forgotten vitamin K, is a fat-soluble
anti-oxidant that controls blood clotting and
bleeding. K1, K2 and k3 are, similar by nature
even though K3 is manufactured. Problems
arise causing deficiency. K1 and K2 are capable
of reducing the anti-coagulant’s (Warfarin and
coumadin) potency to thin blood by Lowering
the level of the vitamin. In turn, warfarin can
block K3. Lowering causes --deficiency. K2
and K3, are able to reverse the anti-coagulant’s
blocking of the from vitamin K drug causing the
drug to loose potency causes in the vitamins.
Newer and different anti-coagulants and
methods of interaction have been developedand--of vitamin K a vitamin supplement is
available K.
Both warfarin and vitamin K require 2-5
days to attain full effect.
Sources: K1: K1 is found in green-leafy
vegetables, fresh or; dry herbs, scallions,
chili pepper, curry, paprika, cayenne, pickled
cucumbers, and prunes.
K2: egg yolks, dairy products and meat.
Natural K3 (Nato) is a bacterial vitamin
of fermented soy-beans. The odor and taste
are not appetizing. In Japan, Nato is eaten
as a breakfast cereal. In Mexico, it may be
found in fried fish. It is not recommended for
consumption.
In the US, the vitamin is manufactured
in laboratories.
It is not recommended that the natural
K not be ingested due to taste and expense.
Take the supplement.
FYI —
Field of vision: This eye examination is
necessary for all comprehensive eye exams-Glaucoma in particular. The test is vital for
detecting the presence of glaucoma, as well
as, the progression of it. Images of the optic
nerve aids those who have glaucoma, but the
vision field test, at present, is more accurate.

Lincoln Hills Parkinson’s
Support Group
BY GEORGE JOHNSTON
The speaker for November was George
L. Johnston, Attorney at Law, member of the
Parkinson’s Association of Northern California
Board of Directors. He spoke briefly on several
salient points gleaned from his attendance
at the Third World Parkinson’s Congress in
Montreal Canada in October 2013. He was
diagnosed with PD at age 43 and has written a
book titled, “The Unexpected Journey-Living
on the Edge of Life’s Promises”.
George began by stressing three points,
1) Extend your exercise time- add distance
or minutes as appropriate, 2) Eat Healthywatch carefully what you consume, 3) fight
the tendency to withdraw-stay active, join
a support group and volunteer for research
studies when applicable.
Noted at the World Parkinson’s Congress
was the use of “Posters” to convey scientific
information. Of special note was poster’s on
Prescription Research, Diagnosis/Treatment,
Affects of Dance on PD, Equally Shared
Decision Making and Patients Age and PD
Development. George stressed the point that,
“We are participants not just patients”. He
also made mention of Michael J. Fox’s push
to get people involved in the research aspect
of PD with participation at appropriate levels.
He concluded his presentation with two
points, 1) Household pets and the need for
being responsible for someone other than
oneself and the need for maintaining personal
happiness by displaying current family photos
less than six months old. Truly an inspiring and
very informative presentation.
The LHPDSG meets every 3rd Tuesday,
10AM in the Lincoln Rayley’s Conference
room and every Friday 2- 3 PM at the SCLH

LH Fishing Group
BY JERRY MESSIER
Wow it’s December again. Time to relax
and think of being with family members. It’s
time to consider a return to sharing time and
traditions with all those generations who are
starting to follow. Time to reflect on the good
fortune we have shared via donations to The
Lincoln High School, SARSAS, Lincoln-KidsFishin-Derby, and numerous California State
Fish and game- fish rearing programs.
For some Lincoln Hills fishing group
members that means thinking no farther than
sharing the traditions of the fishing group.
Whether it is a trip out to soak a worm at Folsom
lake with your son or grandkids, or helping
mentor the kids at the Lincoln-Kids-FishinDerby or traveling to Alaska on a Wild Alaska
Cruises sightseeing/fishing holiday with your
wife or family. Memories are built from the
activities we take part in. Some examples can be
found at the website covering the grand prize in
this year’s fantastic $6000 raffle to be held at our
Jan 18th crabfeed. CHECK IT OUT AT: http://
wildalaskacruises.com/gallery/photo-book/.
Review the gallery from 2008 through 2013
to view the fantastic family oriented cruising/
fishing adventures experienced by our 4 prior
winners of our annual raffle.
The members of the Fishing group will be
celebrating our 2013 Christmas party at Turkey
Creek on Dec.9th. At that time they will be able
to purchase tickets for the giant Crab Feed
scheduled for Jan 18th at the Veterans Hall.
Lincoln-Kids-Fishin Derby
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
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
others 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.

Summer months and at 9:00 AM, during the
cooler Fall and Winter months, to shoot Trap,
International Trap and Sporting Clays. We

submitted three names for election to the
Committee: Pam Abad, Vicki Augenstein, and
Ann Neeson, to fill the positions of two Coleaders and Membership. If other nominations
are not forthcoming by November 15, 2013,
these nominees will be elected by acclamation.
Laurie Wermuth remains as Secretary, and
Deirdre Ryan as Treasurer.
A huge “thank you” goes out to Mary
Shelton who stepped up her leadership role
early this year, and is tirelessly bringing us to
the end of a very successful period. We’ve
had many popular events and speakers, and
Pooches on Parade was brought back to the
Orchards Amphitheater under Mary’s astute
leadership. Mary intends to stay active in
SCOOP, in a lesser role. If you haven’t already
done so, be sure to let Mary know how much
she is appreciated!
SCOOP Member, Pearl Chang, has
been instrumental in bringing SCOOP and
Neighborhood Watch together in a joint effort
of getting the “word out” when our pets become
lost. Thank you, Pearl, and Neighborhood
Watch for “teaming” up and expediting the
process of notification of our lost pets!
Our November speakers were Brad and
Sally from Ben’s Bark Avenue Bistro, who
spoke about what they feel is the healthiest
diet for our pooches. They encouraged us
to visit them at their store in Rocklin by the
Nugget Market. Discussion consisted of the
pros and cons of various food types and brands,
and left us with much to think about regarding
the treats, food, and preventive measures we
give to our dogs.
Our next Speaker Meeting will be the first
Tuesday at 11 AM in February. Watch your
e-mails for specifics.

LH Fellowship of
Christian Athletes
BY WAYNE “DOC” REID
Pastor Mike Bradaric delivered a fantastic
message to the 75+ huddle attendees at
the November Meeting of the Lincoln Hills
Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Mike looked
around the packed room and gave each of us
a warning that most of us will only last 5, or
10, or perhaps 15 more years here on earth.
He asked each person what will we do in that
short amount of time to honor Jesus Christ?
Who will we be able to encourage in our quest
for meeting each other in Heaven? On who’s
life will our personal thumbprint be etched on
someone else’s heart?
31
God’s love for you is not dependent on
how you look, how you think, how you act,
or how perfect you are. His love is absolutely
nonnegotiable and nonreturnable. Ours is a
faithful God. When you light somebody afire
with the grace of God, you have a hard time
putting him out. A person set afire with the love
of Jesus Christ will live in gratitude- serving his
Lord out of love and not out of fear.
The Lincoln Hills FCA huddle meets
every second Friday at 8:00 a.m. at the
Meridians Restaurant. We have a wonderful
breakfast, a great spiritual reading, and a
message from an outstanding Christian leader.
We encourage all members of Lincoln Hills to
come and join us. To be a member all you need
do is contact one of the current members and
ask to be included in our group...you may be a
fantastic athlete or merely have the heart of an
athlete to join...but you should desire to honor
Jesus Christ and His teachings.
The FCA will not meet during the months
of December or July, but we will reconvene
in January.
Have a wonderful and safe Christmas!

BY SUE GEISLER
Winter is coming! Cold, wind, rain,
snow! Yes, those are conditions that make a
person want to stay indoors, but most hikers
and walkers aren’t frightened off by Nature’s
winter elements. There are gifts to enjoy during
the cold season that are missing in the warmer
months --- the crisp clear air, the delightful
sounds of birds in migration, the striking look
of leafless trees, and more. Of course, the

Hiking-Walking Group
Last month this article quoted a story by
one of hiking leaders. Now it is the Walking
Group’s turn to share a story! The following
is a creative story written by Louis Bobrowsky,
Walking Group Coordinator. “Marg and
Emily were discussing plans for a walk through
Tuscany. They were inspired by Little Ann --“little” because she is short. On her trip last
year to southern France, Little Ann brought
back a “husband” from her trip. Her “husband”
Jauck, or something like that, doesn’t speak
English and Little Ann doesn’t speak French.
Even though Little Ann and “husband” Jauck
don’t talk to each other, it gives the Walking
Group plenty to talk about. The discussions
slow down the walk, and in some cases the
discussion becomes quite heated and stops
the walk. This creates problems for me as
Walk Leader. I have to keep the walk on time
because someone in the group always has a
doctor’s appointment. I have found out that
some of our lady walkers are quite strong and
don’t respond to encouragement. I have to do
what I can to dissuade Marg and Emily from
going to Tuscany.”
The Walking Group has a different walk
each week on Wednesdays starting at 8:00
pm. To learn about the starting locations of
each walk, go to the hiking website and click
on “Walking Group”. All the walks are on
the marvelous walking paths at Lincoln Hills,
with the exception of a fifth week on certain
months. Then the group may go walking
outside Lincoln Hills at a nearby area.

walks due to rain, snow, and extremely windy
conditions. So --- if you are considering joining
the Hiking or Walking Group, check out the
hiking website (see below) for upcoming hikes,
or for the walking schedule, and find something
that fits your interest and skill level. You may
be quite surprised at how you will enjoy winter
hiking or walking!
Hiking Group —
There are a number of wonderful hikes
that are easy to moderate in skill level and
are close to Lincoln --- within a half hour to
an hour driving distance from Lincoln Hills.
The Millertown Road to Mount Vernon
Winery hike on Dec. 12th will be a pleasant
stroll in a delightful rural area followed by
a picnic lunch (which each hiker brings for
themselves) and then wine tasting for a $6
fee, although tasting is not required. The
hike called Stagecoach Trail Modified on Dec.
17th will give hikers outstanding views of the
confluence of the North and Middle Forks of
the American River. Another hike, Lincoln
Hills to Caperton Reservoir, on Jan. 2nd will
start at the Orchard Creek Parking Lot and
end at a pretty reservoir above Catta Verdera.
No driving will be required at all for this hike!
Views of Folsom Lake will be a highlight of
the American River Parkway hike on Jan. 7th.
The North Rocklin Parks hike on Jan. 16th will
offer hikers a smorgasbord of three different
parks. It is amazing what the hike leader
found for hikers to explore in the backyard of
Rocklin! Read the hiking website for more
details on these hikes as well as additional
hike descriptions.

LH Cyclists
BY TOM FRADY
Tom Answers Your Letters — Well,
they’re not really your letters. Just letters I
have seen in the last couple of months that
contain the word “bicycle”.
It’s not surprising that many of the letters
contain the phrase “never stop at stop signs,
and while many writers do not have their
legal facts right, they are often correct in
their conclusions and sometimes make good,
if impractical, suggestions.
This letter was in response to Governor
Brown’s recent signing of the “Three foot law”,
wherein drivers must give cyclists at least a
three foot buffer when passing (the law does
not take effect until September 2014):
“The cyclists have won. With the new
state law, when they choose to wander over

Starting the New Year off Right!
Taking care of yourself as a caregiver
Continental breakfast will be served
the white line into the motor vehicle’s space,
automobile drivers must now change lanes or
slow down for the three-foot buffer.”
The writer does not follow up on this
thought, instead suggesting secondary streets
running parallel to main arteries should be
made one way and a second lane be given to
cyclists. As a cyclists, I’d love to see it, but ain’t
gonna happen. The writer is correct, if there
isn’t room for the three-foot buffer, the driver
must slow down and change lanes if there is
another one.
Another letter, from another California
city, ended with this similar thought; “It’s time
to get the bicycles off the freeway and on to slow
moving traffic areas or we’ll see more needless
tragedies”. This writer made reference to the
“Bicycles and motor-driven cycles prohibited”
signs on many (but not all) freeway entrances.
I have ridden the highway section he references
in his letter (in central California) and it is
completely legal for bikes to travel there and
the shoulder is wide and nicely paved. But his
point is well taken: bikes traveling 15 mph and
cars doing 70 don’t mix well. More than
one would-be cyclists has put his bike in
the rafters because fast-moving cars just
scared him too much.
On the same three-foot law: “As
motorists, we pay license fees and gas
taxes to travel on roads, money from that
is used to create bicycle lanes. Bicyclists,
however, don’t pay the same. This writer
went on to recount an incident that
occurred many years ago on a narrow dirt
road, wherein the cyclists were “laughing
because the law was on their side. Now,
they have another law to protect them.”

New Park Signs Installed by Lincoln Rotary Club
Members of the Rotary
Club of Lincoln today installed
the first of four new park signs
that explain to park users who
parks are named after and why.
The first sign was installed in
Wilson Park, near the Twelve
Bridges Middle School at 2325
East Joiner Parkway. The sign
explains that the park is named
in honor of Charles Lincoln
Wilson, who was President of the
California Central Railroad and
founder of the City of Lincoln.
The sign includes a picture of

LH Cyclists
Of course, the first mistake in this letter
is assuming bike riders don’t pay taxes for
roads. Even the most avid cyclist owns a
car. There certainly is a very small group of
car-free cyclists, especially in urban areas.
But these folks should be seen as a positive
example, not vilified.
Like drivers, there are a few bike riders
who are arrogant jerks, but come on, lady.
You’re still mad after all these years? Cyclists,
including kids on their way to school, families
out on a Saturday morning ride and the fellow
with his entire household in a basket on the
handlebars, need some special protection.
A well-reasoned letter from right here
in Lincoln: “my concern is that some cyclists,
like drivers, think that right-of-way rules apply
not to them . . .all drivers would do all that’s
necessary to avoid injuring a cyclist; however,
that doesn’t relieve those on bikes of sharing
the road in a safe way.” To me, sharing the
road is a two-way street. Cyclists do have the
responsibilities as drivers.
A second letter, in the same edition,
shares the same theme, that riders need to
follow the rules and that more enforcement
is necessary. And a third letter went so far as
to say, “They (cyclists) can be traffic terrorists
and need to be brought under control through
enforcement!”
“Traffic Terrorist” is a nice turn of a
phrase, but suggests the average cyclist is out
to do harm to the fabric of America. However,
the idea that increased enforcement might
reduce law-breaking has some merit. If a cyclist
receives a ticket for running a stop sign, I’m
guessing it may cause him to be much more
careful in the future (specific deterrence), but
I’m not sure it has much affect on all bike riders
(general deterrence), unless the word gets out
that an area of town is very well patrolled.
The idea that cyclists are scofflaws is the
most prevalent theme in Letters to the Editor.
Responding to a recent story from Davis, a
writer opines: “Drivers in Davis know that
the level of aptitude displayed by the majority
of bicyclists borders on moronic. Examples
commonly witnessed: not stopping at stop
signs, no looking left or right, and no hand
signals. If these cyclists were riding in another
town, many would surely have been injured or
worse… They have no regard for their own
safety” I can’t disagree. I have often driven
and ridden in Davis. While every effort has
been made to make cyclists safer there, the
prevalence of ear buds, lack of helmets and
general inattention is astounding.
“Í can’t remember the last time I saw a
bicyclist slow down for a stop sign.” This writer
doesn’t even want cyclist to STOP! “And watch
out on bike trails. Speed limit (it’s 15mph
on most bike paths) approach-from-the-rear
warnings are disregarded.”
Which brings me to my favorite, if most
head-shaking letter of all time, from a little
mountain town of 5500, where I used to live:
“Thank you to the “normal” bike riders who
simply pass by you on the bike trail. However,
the spandex-wearing (hey, it’s Lycra!) bikers
need to learn respect and stop being so selfish
and egotistical. When someone yells left or
right all it does is confuse me… these people
think they own everything and insist on yelling
at us… Cut the attitude!”

LH Tennis Group
BY PAT CAMPBELL
What great weather for tennis! We find
that we need to dress in layers because over
2 hours of play in the mornings, we can go
from cold to sweating. There is enough nip
in the morning air to remind us that winter
is not far away.
Our annual dinner dance was held
November 7th at the Rock Hill Winery in
Loomis. Over a hundred folks and their
spouses attended. We were treated to some
very interesting wine barrel tasting of different
varietals of different ages. Our Social Director
Pam Geernaert did a fantastic job planning
this event. The band Two-Tone Steiny was
wonderful and the experience of the dance
and dinner in the winery was great.
We will be holding our yearly Christmas
lunches on December 5th. The men will feast
on pizza and beer at Old Town Pizza while the
women will be enjoying wine and a nice buffet
lunch at Catta Verdera.
We will be electing a new board of
directors at the end of the year. Our group
will use an electronic ballet to elect the new
candidates as well as counting votes at our
annual General Meeting on December 10th.

Table Tennis
BY EDWARD ROCKNICH
It is now December and a time for
reflection. Table Tennis this year was quite
rewarding. New residents started play and
our strong core of regulars, many of whom
play at all sessions. The tennis group enjoyed
a summer picnic at our sport pavilion and a
Christmas and holiday party held at Mimi’s
restaurant in Lincoln. Thanks to George
Porzio and Valerie Green for organizing these
“events”. Kudos to the tennis board led by
President Marc Fong. Marc emphasized that
the main goal of our play was to have fun and
enjoy one another. A special thanks also to
Robert Grittner and Tim Frank. These two
are passionate about table tennis and assist all
players to develop their skills.
Table tennis will resume in January at
Kilaga on Sundays (12:30 - 5:00 pm), Tuesdays
(6:00 – 9:00 pm) and Fridays (8:00 – 11:00 am).

Ski Club
BY MIKE HILTON
The Ski Club facilitates ride sharing
among members throughout the ski season.
Emails are sent alerting all members as to
who is planning day trips to local resorts
on which days of the coming week, along
with contact information to coordinate ride
sharing. Members typically frequent Sugar
Bowl, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows and
Northstar. Skiers headed to Sugar Bowl can
also take cross-country skiers to Royal Gorge.
Sugar Bowl has just installed a new lift (Crow’s
Peak) in a ski area that previously could only
be reaching by hiking. There is a new top-tobottom groomed run in this area, with easy
access to glades and advanced runs. Many of
us are waiting to check this area out!
This year’s getaway trip is a return to
Mammoth Lakes; it’s been 5 years since
the Club’s last visit. Nineteen Lincoln Hills
residents, including five non-skiers, have
booked their accommodations for the period
March 9 – 15, 2014. We will be staying in
luxury condos at both ends of the gondola
that travels between the Canyon Lodge lifts
and The Village (ground zero for dining,
nightlife and shopping). Skiers will meet in
the mornings in one or more groups to explore
the extensive ski terrain, and meet for lunch
on the mountain. Non-skiers will explore the
beautiful Mammoth Lakes area, dine, shop,
visit local attractions, or just catch up on
reading in front of a fireplace with a snowy view
out of the window. In the evenings, we gather
in one or more groups for spa/sauna time,
cocktails, dinner (cook in gourmet kitchens
or sample the great restaurants), and games
or other amusements (last time we enjoyed a
great community theater performance).
There is still time to join this group. We
will assist you in finding accommodations,
ranging from motels to condo developments
to homes rented by owners. Non-member
37
residents are welcome to come along, and
of course nothing stops you from including
non-resident friends and family in your own
personal plans. Naturally, your stay could
include any dates that worked best for you, and
we would be happy to include you in our plans
during any part of your stay that overlapped
ours. In the three condos we have already
rented, two people will serve as ski and social
coordinators to facilitate our get-togethers, so
no one will be left out.

was installed. The annual golf awards were
presented for 2013. Each person attending the
luncheon brought a gift for a patient at Lincoln
Meadows. This gift-giving has been an annual
event for the past 7 years and is coordinated
by Edna Linville.

Bocce Courts
BY PAUL MAC GARVEY
We couldn’t help but feel thankful for the
hardworking association groundskeeper who
was tasked with cleaning up the leaves at the
Bocce Courts on Thursday. He blew the leaves
off the courts for us and then proceeded to try
and rake up all the leaves around the courts.
What a thankless job. They were falling faster
than he could sweep them up. He was still
struggling when we left and the courts had
become half littered with leaves again. We had
a slight longing for fall in New England while
watching all this, but we don’t miss raking our
yard for a second. It was amusing watching
twenty “active adults” try to play Bocce with
leaves blowing back on the courts. Please think
about that young man when you’re enjoying
the shade by the courts next summer. By the
time you read this the leaves will all be down
and gone.
Don’t forget we have scheduled our
Christmas Luncheon for Thursday morning,
December 12. We haven’t chosen a location
as of this writing, but we will go directly to
lunch at around 11:30 AM, right after Bocce
that morning. If it’s raining that morning
(we should be so lucky)we will meet at the
restaurant at 11:30.

SCLH Duplicate Bridge Club
BY DICK PROFFITT
With the coming of December, bridge
players become just like other folks with hearts
full of holiday joy and anticipation of parties
and get-togethers with friends new and old. For
the SCLHDBC members, our party will be held
in the Orchard Creek Ballroom on Wednesday,
Dec. 11th. The no-host bar will open at 5:30
PM to enhance the socializing time, and dinner
seating will be at 6:00 PM. I’m hoping to see
all of you at the party as we celebrate another
year of exciting duplicate bridge.
Also, as in previous years, the Duplicate
Club will not have any Wednesday games or
39
bridge lessons during the month of December.
However, the Friday and Saturday games will
continue as usual. If you just have to have
some weekday bridge, check out the websites
of other clubs in the area (listed under “Useful
Links”) on our website. Also, for those of
you who are seeking Silver Points, our local
Sectional Tournament will be held at the
Orangevale Community Center from Fri., Dec.
6th through Sun., Dec 8th. Pair games fill the
schedule on Fri. and Sat., and the Swiss Teams
game is on Sun.
Results of our election to select six
members to the club Board of Directors were
announced at the Nov.13th game. There are
three new members: Tom Rosen, Nancy Rice,
and Jim Collart. Additionally, the following
three were re-elected to their second term on
the Board: David Glasspiegel, Lydia King and
Dick Proffitt. At the December BOD meeting,
the Board members will then elect the officers
of the club for next year.
Lately, I’ve been seeing a number of
new faces at the bridge tables. New members
are the lifeblood of our club so be sure to
introduce yourself and make the newer folks
feel welcome. I’d like to see the members
get back in the habit of wearing their name
badges to our games. In fact, make a New
Year’s resolution to wear your name badge
when you come to the game.
Speaking of the New Year, don’t forget
the upcoming “Monterey Clambake Regional”
tournament that starts on Tuesday, Dec. 31st
and features the Late Night Champagne Zip
Knockout Teams. The tournament will be
held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and will
culminate with the Swiss Teams games held
on Sunday, Jan. 5th.
2013 has been a wonderful year for us!

love and cum bye yah? Where’s the – “We’ll
miss you but we wish you well?”
SCLH WRITER...
A Plethora of Wisecracks
to a retirement community where people
live independently.”
BY JUDIE PANNETON
My husband and I weren’t sure how
our friends would react when we told them
we were moving to Sun City Lincoln, 30
minutes north of our home. It would be
a big move from an urban environment to
a suburban one, where people have to be
at least 55 years old. There would be a lot
of highway driving to our two-day-a-week
jobs. We decided to rent a home because we
weren’t 100% convinced that we were doing
the right thing. After all, we were selling our
home of 27 years and saying goodbye to a
wonderful community and friends.
John and I had hoped that our friends
would share our optimism and enthusiasm
for a new beginning.
We were prepared for the chaos of
boxes and the loading and unloading them.
What wasn’t on our expectation horizon
were the torrent of comments and the
misunderstanding about to come our way.
The most recent was, “Well, I guess it’s
a good idea because you’ll be able to have
someone cook your meals.”
“No,” I responded. “We’re not moving
to an assisted living facility. We’re moving
Just the other night, I was having
a friendly conversation with an old
acquaintance. You know the kind - catching
up on what’s new and what our children
are up to. As we were about to hang up,
she offered a parting remark that turned
sarcastic, “Well, enjoy the commute!”
“What?” I thought silently. “Where’d
that come from?”
During another conversation with
a neighbor and close friend of 25 years,
I confided that I had some reservations
about the move and she offered, “Watch
out. John might find a pretty woman on
the golf course.”
Yes, these are people I consider to be
my friends.
Maybe I’m partly responsible for their
wisecracks. After all, I have told them that
we’re going to rent a house on a golf course,
and I don’t golf. There will be a huge kitchen
and I don’t cook. And, the ceilings are 14
feet high and I wear a hearing aid and have
trouble tracking voices and sounds in rooms
with much lower ceilings.
But, come on people. Where’s all the
Actually, we have heard that from some
other friends and we appreciate it; let me
tell you!
Who knows why people say the things
they do? Is it because they think you’re
crazy since it’s something they would never
consider? Do they take it personally, as if
you are rejecting them?
I’ve been wracking my brain for a
comeback the next time someone makes
a wisecrack. I’m seriously considering this
one: “Just do me a favor. Don’t tell me
how you feel about my decisions. Just say
it behind my back.”
Actually, I have a feeling that once they
see how beautiful Sun City Lincoln is, they’ll
be asking me for the name of our realtor.

Neighborhood Watch
The Holidays are upon us, and people are
getting very busy. Take the time to think about
safety when you are at the Mall, walking to your
cars, stashing presents in the trunk and not on
the back seat of the car. Keep alert and aware
of your surroundings at all times. Red Flags
include requests for personal information,
urgent or threatening language, spelling or
grammar errors in written requests for money,
a link to an unknown site, or missing contact
information. The “Grandma, I need money”
scam is unfortunately still around, and one
SCLH resident received just such a call within
the last month.
Just when Fall arrived, Neighborhood
Watch received several complaints about
AT&T solicitors contacting residents at
their houses. Mary Cranston contacted the
manager for solicitors and found out that
AT&T does contract out for door-to-door
visits. Those employees wear red ID cards
and are required to carry a letter indicating
that they are employed by AT&T. There is a
phone number you can call on that letter. Mary
then talked to the area manager who removed
all of the contract employees from this area.
The manager also promised to comply with
the rule that solicitors must also carry a license
obtained from the city of Lincoln in order to call
on residents. There is a sample of this license
on the Neighborhood Watch website at www.
SCLHWatch.org. Search Alerts/Info from

Observations... on Winter
BY MARTIN GREEN
A couple of months ago I wrote an
“Observations” on Autumn, and this
naturally started me thinking about the
following season, Winter. The chief
difference between Winter as I was
growing up back East, in New York City,
and here in California is that we had
snow. Since I was a kid snow didn’t mean
shoveling off driveways, stalled traffic
and difficulties getting to work. It meant
getting out my sled. Yes, I’m not sure
how it happened as this was during the
Depression years and our family, like all
the others in our Bronx neighborhood,
was poor, but we kids had sleds, although
I’m sure mine wasn’t a Flexible Flyer and
I wonder if it wasn’t something my father
had gotten second-hand from somewhere.
We’d take my sled to nearby Crotona
Park, which actually had a hill, kind of,
which overlooked a small lake. The hill
was at any rate tall enough so that a sled
could go down it and it was a thrill to be
zooming down, or so it seemed, being
sure to stop short of continuing across the
path and into the lake itself. When not
sledding in the park I recall that I used
to pull my little sister along the street,
which somehow was fun to do. I’m sure
it was cold during these winters but, being
kids, we didn’t know about weather. I’m
also sure that my mother, like all the
mothers on my block, didn’t allow me
or my sister to go outside without coats,
galoshas (what are those?), hats, gloves
and (probably) ear muffs. I kind of
remember having snowball fights. They
were mostly in a vacant lot somewhere in
our neighborhood. I must not have been
hit too hard by a snowball because it’s
not among my vivid childhood memories.
Snow, to a kid, was the best thing
about winter then. Other good things were
that the chestnut men would come out,
selling their chestnuts roasted over their
fires. I Googled this and this is evidently
still a New York City tradition, although
someone commented it’s confined to
Manhattan now. Coming back to our
warm apartment after playing all day
outside in the cold and having a cup of
hot chocolate was also a treat. Sometimes
the apartment wasn’t so warm. We had
steam heat and when it didn’t come up we
banged on the radiator with a big wooden
spoon, which I think is another New York
City tradition.
Winter also meant the holidays,
first Thanksgiving and then, starting
the day after Thanksgiving (not around
Halloween, as now) Christmas. The big
thing about Thanksgiving in New York
was of course Macy’s parade. I seem
to remember my mother taking me
and my sister to see it at least once. I
also remember her taking us downtown
during the Christmas season. We’d go to
Rockefeller Center to see the big tree and
to watch the skaters on the ice rink. We’d
also see the decorated windows in the big
downtown department stores, primarily
Macy’s, still with us, and Gimbel’s, no
longer extant.
I don’t think I ever heard of skiing
when I was a kid. I did encounter a
number of avid skiers when I came out
to California. They’d go up to Heavenly
Valley and other places around Lake
Tahoe. Although I had fun in the snow
as a kid in New York I was never tempted
to take up skiing. I could understand
its attraction, the sensation of flying
along over the snow, similar to that I’d
experienced as a kid going down a hill on
my sled. But by then I’d agreed with the
writer Peter Devries that winter sports left
me cold. It does say something for the
attraction of snow that every winter people
flock to the mountains and we inevitably
see on television someone trapped on the
road in his car saying to a reporter that he
never expected this to happen. Only once
when our boys were young did we give in
and take them up to the snow, finding a
place to park by the road while they slid
down a hill on flattened-out cardboard
boxes, their improvised sleds. It was fun
(for them) as it had been for me at that
45
age, but I was glad when we were back in
our warm house.
By the time I was a young adult
working in New York I’d begun to realize
that winters in New York were cold and
uncomfortable. I’d watch the Rose Bowl
game on New Year’s Day on TV and, while
it was freezing outside, it was always sunny
in Pasadena. I can remember winter days
in Manhattan when I’d run from one tall
building to another trying to avoid an icy
wind that swept in between them. I also
remember colds, runny noses and coughs.
Snow was no longer a friend; it had become
an enemy. You had to make your way
around snow banks on the street. You
also had to watch out or you’d slip on the
ice. It was about that time that I started
thinking about leaving New York behind
and coming to California and, although
there were other reasons, I wonder if
those Rose Bowl games played in the
sun, didn’t play a part in my decision.
At any rate, I did leave the snow behind
and I’ll be content with recalling winter
back East without any longer having to
live through it.
