It was a week before Valentine’s
Day, so there were no cards, roses
or bowls of candy in the Hersch
home, but the sentiment of the
day was there nonetheless. After
almost 57 years of marriage, it is
clear that John and Isobel Hersch
are proverbial “sweethearts.”
Their love for each other grew
through their mutual love of music
which still binds them together
along with their strong family ties.
John is a lifelong musician and
composer, and Isobel is not only a
singer (an “artiste”, as she teasingly
states) but also someone who enjoys
performing in theater. Over the years
the couple has enjoyed performing together
at different San Francisco Bay Area venues.
John always loved composing, and after
being in the service he returned to school to
major in Composition at San Francisco State
and earn a teaching credential. He originally
felt that a career in teaching would give him
Super Senior, Dynamic Singles ............................ 19
John and Isobel Hersch
a great opportunity to compose music during
the long summer break, but he soon discovered
that teaching was something he truly loved. He
devoted thirty years to teaching instrumental
music in the South San Francisco School
District and is proud of the students he taught,
several of whom later went on to make music
their profession.
Most of John’s music is written for
piano, orchestra and chamber groups,
including a piece for brass quintet
just completed (which Isobel calls
“very highbrow”, with humor). His
compositions have been performed
in the Bay Area by various groups,
including the Mission Chamber
Orchestra of San Jose.
As the Hersch family grew, John
taught and also played first with the
Walt Tolleson Band, then with Tony
Hall and the Hallmarks, a group he
has made a part of his life for 40
years. They played at private parties
and clubs including the Olympic Golf
and Country Club, The Fisherman in
Burlingame and the Starlight Room at the top
of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. The band John
currently performs with in Sacramento (where
he rehearses weekly) joined his Bay Area
musicians to fete Isobel at her 80th birthday
party held here at Orchard Creek for about

Last month found the Goldthorpe back

and Coronado
Island. And
yet we found
ourselves twice at
Richard Walker’s
Pancake House
on Front Street for breakfast, usually with a line outside the door. Why? Because of the multitude
of unusual, and unusually good pancakes such as fluffy German pancake about the size of a
small tire, topped with a lemon sauce.
Military is a big part of San Diego’s present and past. We toured the USS Midway Aircraft
Carrier, which saw action as recently as Desert Storm, but is now a permanent museum anchored
at the naval pier with 60 exhibits, 27 fully restored airplanes on display, and staffed with many
proud veterans. Visited the newly remodeled Mormon Battalion Historic Site in Old Town San
Diego… and dipped into some more local trivia and history with a Seal Tour on an amphibious
vehicle of the San Diego harbor where we learned that the 3 islands in the San Diego harbor are
created with landfill by naval dredging operations that took the harbor from a depth of 5 feet to
60 feet, and that camera-wearing dolphins make security sweeps of the harbor on a regular basis.
The trip was even more memorable because we got to meet with some cousins visiting there
too... family, good food, local history and great weather all add to another great visit to one of
the most scenic cities on the west coast; San Diego.

The Lincoln Hills
Beavers Club Meeting
BY DICK ROONEY
The February Board
meeting was convened beneath
the wooden bridge that crosses
over Ferrari Pond. Super Bowl
XLV (45) had just ended and
since most of the attendees had
Bicuspid
overly imbibed watching the
game, keeping to the agenda
was nearly impossible.
Our meeting was a buzz about the
Bridgestone Tire commercial shown during
a TV break in the bowl game. This ad was
ranked as one of the best of the day. It starred
Waldo, one of our real Lincoln Beavers who
was saved by Wild Things Inc., a wild animal
rescue preserve in the town of Weimar, east of
Auburn off I-80. Our leader, Eager Beaver, Jr.
had a personal interview with Waldo a couple
days after his appearance on TV. Waldo enjoys
making visits to K thru 12 schools in our area,
in conjunction with the Dept. of Fish & Game,
teaching kids about the lives of animals in the
wild. How great to see one of our own making
a contribution to the education of our young
citizens while continuing to live happily ever
after.
A beaver representing MADD was
loudly applauded when she brought up the
subject of not driving while drunk. The NTSB
is considering having all motor vehicles
equipped with technology that will not allow
a vehicle to start if the driver has the smell
of alcohol on their breath. But this presents
a problem - will the odorous fumes from a
drunk beaver prevent the car from starting if
a sober designated driver is behind the wheel?
Another safety feature under consideration if a cell phone is being used by a
driver to talk, twitter, tweet, text
or Facebook, the vehicle would
then immediately stop. What
a change from the horse and
buggy days when a driver might
have only felt obliged to stop if
the horsepower was messing up!
Big news! The bill authorizing
Becky
billions to establish a BEPOLITE Drinks facility has been
passed by Congress. By passing
this legislation it means that a wonderful new
business will come to pass for Lincoln to be built
just west of the by pass that by passes our city.
Past lobbyists attempts to buy the passing of the
bill were bypassed. The ladies guild is planning
a St. Patrick’s Day swim thru Auburn Ravine.
Three of our comely debutantes - Jenna Furr,
Ella Gance, and Grace Full will be swimming
on the lead float. Volunteers will be needed
to control stream side rowdies.
Average Joe Beaver coin collectors
are still looking for their first National Park
quarters, five of which were issued in 2010, but
none have appeared in circulation. You can
get them in mint condition from coin dealers
for a buck each but that’s a hefty price for a
quarter. Wonder who in government is reaping
this windfall!!
Trees are blossoming and in the interest
of maintaining the beauty of Lincoln Hills any
beaver caught felling a bloomer will feel the
wrath of the Garden Club.
Till next month, keep gorging those low
cal cat tails.

Seniors Need to Know!
Out of Home Living Options
BY CANDACE ROEDER, Seniors First
When an individual can no longer live
on their own, they are often confused about
options and where to turn for available

living options for seniors, but may have
questions about the different levels of senior
living or care.

(medications maintained by staff), to assistance
with activities of daily living. Prices can range
from a low of $1500 per month to a high of
$6000 or more, depending on the type of
assistance needed, amenities offered, location,
etc.
A common belief is if a person needs
personal assistance, they are non-ambulatory,
incontinent, require assistance with dressing
or bathing, or they have dementia, that they
must go to a Skilled Nursing Facility. This is
not true anymore.
Let’s look at some specific living
situations:
Independent Living Complexes or
Retirement Communities - The residents must
be able to live independently as there is no
personal care provided. These communities
offer social opportunities, meals, activities,
housekeeping, security and more.
Assisted Living (ALF) - Generally refers
to large facilities with 100 or more residents
and offer many amenities and options from a
shared studio to a 2-bedroom apartment. They
generally have many planned activities (bingo,
bridge, crafts, and outside trips to shopping,
movies, and other points of interest. Some have
beauty parlors or little shops to buy treats or
rent videos.
Most have large dining rooms where
residents can socialize. Most do not have
full kitchens in their rooms but may have
kitchenettes with a refrigerator/freezer, a
microwave, and a coffeepot. Although some
ALF’s may have a nurse on board, the staff
is comprised of trained caregivers; available,
awake, & accessible 24 hours per day.
Residential Care Facility for the Elderly
(RCFE or Board & Care Home) – Is licensed
for up to six residents in the home. These
homes are in many neighborhoods and the
residents share the home with 24 hr. live in
caregivers who provide more individualized
care, do all the housekeeping, cooking etc.;
all included in the monthly rate. Meals are
shared in the homes’ dining room, offering a
family ambiance.
Memory Care Facilities - Are dedicated
to caring for individuals with Dementia,
Alzheimer’s disease, or other cognitive
impairments. The facility is a secure
environment where residents are safe and
cared for by specifically trained caregivers to
work with individuals with memory care issues.
Some of these facilities are all individuals
needing Memory Care, where others may be a
separate section of an Assisted Living Facility.
Multi-Level Facilities - Multi-levels
facilities offer care from Independent Living
to Memory Care to Skilled Nursing all at one
facility. A resident whose needs change would
not need to move to another location in order
to receive more care.
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) or
Convalescent Hospitals are for individuals who
need care that requires a nurse or other skilled
medical personnel (person whom requires
injections or wound care).
Seniors who were basically healthy but
needed some assistance had limited choices
but now there are several options available
and we at Seniors First are trained to guide
them to these alternative resources. Give us

every day! 530-889-9500

2nd Cup of Coffee
BY WOLFGANG OPLESCH
We are continuing this year’s
new programming strategy
“looking-back” to our
initial successes and
refocusing on renewed
community outreach!
On Monday March
21, we will introduce
Lincoln’s Chamber of
Commerce to the audience. Bob
Romness, Executive Director, and longtime
Lincoln “Mr. Volunteer”, will speak on
“What is the Chamber and its Role for the
Local Business Community!” As community
residents, we are interested to better
understand how current and new businesses
interface with the Chamber. Q&A follows.
The original March program with the local
Rogers Coffee Roasting Company needed to
be rescheduled to a later timeframe.
Both next programs, April 18th and May
16th, are being redirected and in a confirmation
process.

Favorite
Restaurants
BY MARTIN GREEN
Maybe it’s the nice weather we’ve been
having and Sun City residents are eating out
more. Maybe more people are reading the
Sun Senior News. Whatever the reason, I’m
happy to report that e-mails about “Favorite
Restaurants” have been coming in. I hope it’s
a trend that will continue.
First, last month’s e-mail from SCLH
resident Bob Friedman about gluten-free
eating places seems to have struck a chord.
Several people have told me they appreciated
the information. An e-mail from another
Celiac Sprue sufferer, Warren Mikol, said to
add “the Outback Restaurant to the list of local
(Roseville) restaurants with a respectable GF
menu.” Thank you, Warren. If other readers
know of any GF places, please let me know.
We have a number of good Italian
restaurants in our area, but there’s always
room for one more, especially one in which
Connie Lugo writes she “had the absolute
Italian dinner ever.” The restaurant is 7 Sisters
Italiano in Citrus Heights. Connie describes it
as “relatively small and done in simple décor
with pictures of New York” and further on
as “ a mom and pop shop that moved from
Reno after eight years in the business. Chef
Todd Morgan is a New York native bringing
30 years of Italian recipes to our area. Wife
Jeanine, Irish, manages the service end and
both are very personable, both visiting with
customers as they work together to create a
warm, family-friendly dining experience. They
truly make you feel part of their family.”
What about the food? Connie
writes that dinner “began with one of
that day’s specials, a Mozarella Wrap
with balsamic dressing as an appetizer…
Chef Todd’s experience and culinary
touch was demonstrated to us when
he prepared a special dinner of fresh shrimp
scampi and homemade pasta in his personal
blend of herbs and seasonings. It was to die
for. The pasta was light and the sauce seemingly
non-existent yet chock-full of flavor; we’ve
never had any better. Dinner was topped
off with the best cannoli in town, the perfect
ending to a perfect meal.”
Where is this restaurant? “They are a bit
hidden away, between Smart & Final and Big
K-Mart located at 8493 Auburn Blvd. Near I-80
(phone 727-2777). 7 Sisters is open for lunch
and dinner; it’s closed Sunday and Monday.
Connie advises making a reservation for Friday
and Saturday dinners. She writes: “From the
food to Chef Todd’s accent, you’ll believe
you’re in Little Italy in New York.” Two more
things: they’re offering a 10% discount to Sun
City residents (let them know) and “they also
offer an extensive gluten-free menu.” It sounds
great, Connie. A request to other Sun City
residents who go there, please let me know
how you like it.
I noted the good weather we’ve been
having. Dave Rich and his wife Nancy of SCLH
drove up to Dutch Flat while it was still foggy
in the valley to check out a place they’d heard
of, The Dutch Flat Hotel & Café. To get there,
I’ll borrow from Dave’s e-mail. Dutch Flat is
about 30 miles east of Auburn on Highway 80.
Take Exit 145, turn left for ¼ to ½ mile and
then turn left onto Sacramento road (there
is a small sign on the left indicating Dutch
Flat, 1 mile); in just a minute you will make
a loop up and onto Main Street and discover
downtown Dutch flat. The Dutch Flat hotel
is on the right.
Now that we’ve gotten there, I’ll quote
from the e-mail: “The café inside is open on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 2pm
(breakfast til noon and lunch til 2pm.) Also,
they have a dinner special the third Friday of
each month featuring a set menu for only $14.95
per person. It varies from month to month--call ahead to find out what will be served. The
atmosphere is charmingly quaint. The town
dates back to the 1850’s and the hotel could
well be that old, but it was totally renovated a
few years ago. There’s also a General Store,
a Post Office, an antique store, and several
wonderful old offices and houses.”
Bob goes on to write: “Sussy and Kathy
run the hotel and the café and are two of the
most genuine people you will ever meet. We …
decided to have lunch. My wife had a roasted
turkey pannini (the turkey was roasted fresh
the day before and was delicious) for only
$7.50, and I chose ‘the favorite,’ a pastrami
sandwich that was piled high with some of the
best pastrami I’ve had in a while for $10.50.
Each came with your choice of potato salad,
fruit or a cup of soup (that day it was New
England clam chowder---loaded with clams).
We are looking forward to returning and
bringing some friends, and checking out the
dinner soon. Also, the museum opens soon
for the summer and will be worth the short
trip on its own. Call them at 530-389-2698
for more information, or check out the great
photos at www.dutchflathotel.com.” Okay,
Bob, it sounds good: the Dutch Flat Chamber
of Commerce should hire you.

“Regarding Skipolini’s Prego Pizza: our son,
Joe, had read about the pizza on Skipolini’s
website. So with still a week to go before
their baby’s due date, he and his wife, Amy,
went to Skipolini’s …on Sunday and had the
Prego Pizza. Micaela Joy Bubbico was born

Probably---but a fun story and they declared
the pizza to be one of the best they’ve ever

Last Chance — Last Chance: If you like
to laugh, our March production of ”Rumors”
by Neil Simon and directed by Judith Jesness is
your show. Only Neil Simon could put together
a story that is this funny and entertaining. Four
couples show up at an anniversary celebration
only to find that the host has been shot and
his wife is missing. Since the guests are all
prominent members of society, everyone is
interested in ways to minimize the possibility
of a huge scandal that might affect their
own lives and careers. The cover up keeps
unraveling when no one can remember what
story they told and to whom. This production
may well be the funniest show you will see
all year. Productions are March 2, 7PM and
March 3, 2PM and 7PM in the Orchard Creek
Ballroom. Tickets are available now at the
Activity Desks. $12 general admission. $40

Additionally, there will be 4 performances

Through the Eyes of Love
His hands, covered thickly with blotches
Pecked at the robe on his lap.
BY LISA AUGUSTINE
His voice, when he spoke, was a whisper.
It trembled and gasped with each breath.
His brow, sans the once golden ringlets
Was bald as a white skull of death.
She drew me away from the party.
We stood alone at the side.
“There he is,” she whispered slyly
Her eyes shining brightly with pride.
“That’s my husband--the one with the smile.
Even sitting you can tell that he’s tall.
And isn’t he handsome and charming?
He’s always the beau of the ball!
But she didn’t see him as I did!
She saw only the young, virile boy
Who sixty long years ago wooed her
And gave her a lifetime of joy.
“There he is – that’s my husband!”
The man she is so smitten of
Will always be her young sweetheart
As seen through the eyes of love.
•••
His eyes are what first drew me to him.
They’re shades of cerulean blue.
When he flashes them in my direction
My knees shake and turn into goo.
Just look at his long, slender fingers;
His hands molded, tender yet strong.
At his touch I am shaken and breathless.
His voice is a beautiful song.”
Deep Six
He was shrunken and bent and disabled,
His eyes blurred and rheumy with sap.
It can be toys, cosmetics,
Or even clothing off the rack.
You automatically get a gift receipt,
The store knows they’re going to get it back.
But we celebrate so many things,
There just seems to be no end.
To say ‘I don’t give a wrap’ is true,
For 16 years of love,
That you gave to me,
Now seems so very empty
You will be missed, my little Polly.

A year ago last Christmas,
I got my mother-in-law a cemetery plot.

These things cost a lot.

Buying gifts for people
Is a terribly difficult chore.
They already have so many things,
How could they possibly want for more.
I looked where she coyly was pointing
Saw not the Adonis she saw.
I saw an old man in a wheelchair
I saw every wrinkle, each flaw.
d
Whether it’s for family or friend.
So now when I awake,
And I start to look for you,
Only memories fill the air,
And they will have to do.
Now that you have left us,
And our hearts are oh so broken,
Words can never take your place,
No matter how softly they’re spoken.
And our lives can never be the same,
No matter what’s to be,
For you were so very loyal,
A true friend for all to see.
After the rain the skies overhead
Turned to a bright azure blue
And billowy clouds,
As white as fresh snow,
Were sailing along in my view.
Yes, after the rain a rainbow appeared
With the promise of sunshine ahead
And people in search of
The big pot of gold
To the end of the rainbow were led.
After the rain the world was refreshed
The dust didn’t cling to the trees
The branches were covered
With glistening leaves
That swayed to and fro in the breeze.

comedy, vocal and instrumental, and it turned
out to be a fun filled evening for all concerned.
The participants got a big thrill out of singing
and playing on the provided open mikes and
amplifiers. Most were surprised at how well
they sounded and played. Non performers
were amazed at this display of hidden talent
and enjoyed the festivities immensely and are
looking forward to the next Open Mic event
which will be at the same venue on April 29th
at 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. For those who missed
this great evening you are welcome to join
the fun on the 29th April.. Walk-in sign-ups
can perform five to ten minutes depending on
number of performers. We want to keep it
loose and have fun. Any style of music is fair
game. These great fun-filled events are FREE!
Our monthly Wednesday meetings at the
OC Lodge are becoming so popular that they
are now an entertainment event in themselves.
A number of former walk-ins have enjoyed
the meetings so much that they brought their
instruments and voices and have greatly added
their talents to make our get-togethers quite a

SUN SENIOR PROFILES Getting to know you...
John and Isobel Hersch
170 guests comprised of family
and friends from near and far.
An eightieth birthday is
quite a special event, but Isobel
does not look at all like an
octogenarian. Her effervescent
personality complements
looks which belie her age.
Isobel stayed home to raise
the couple’s four children and
talks enthusiastically about
their forty three years in the
same house in Pacifica where
their family could enjoy living
a short walk from the ocean.
John and Isobel
Isobel, of course, didn’t
Hersch —
merely stay at home. She also
went back to college and took
June 12, 1954
classes in music and performed
in theater groups in the Bay
Area as well as in a classical music group with
one of which was the Walt Tolleson Band.
Mildred Owen. And it is Isobel who knows
The couple’s move to Lincoln Hills in 2004
the current count of their family members:
did not change the focus on what they both love
four children, ten grandchildren and fifteen
to do. Isobel enjoys performing with the Players
great-grandchildren (including a very recent
Group, Dolly James’ shows and the Talent
addition), who all, except one, live in California.
Shows (and she loves to tap). John continues
Although John is a native San Franciscan,
to compose and plays piano accompaniment
Isobel originally hails from Ohio. She studied
for the Lincoln Hills Singers. In one concert,
classical music and as a teen had the honor to
John revived a piece called “Lullaby” that he
perform as soloist with the Toledo Symphony
composed in 1956 prior to the birth of their
Orchestra. After moving to San Francisco, for
daughter, Kathryn. He arranged the piece
a change of pace, Isobel sang with Big Bands,
especially for the Lincoln Hills Singers.
Both John and Isobel share accolades
of living in Sun City, making new friends and
participating in activities. Along with her
musical talents, Isobel now paints with oils.
Several of her paintings hang in the couple’s
home and reflect
the hidden talent
she discovered
after taking
painting classes
here for the first
time.
What the
couple does not
emphasize is
Circa
1955
that there is a nonmusical
group which also means a
lot to both of them. It is the
Multiple Sclerosis group.
John was diagnosed with the
disease at the age of 44. He
says he “feels guilty because
this affliction has not left me
nearly as disabled as so many
others.” Although medication
helps keep the pain under
control, he has some mobility
13
problems, but he is very grateful not to have
experienced some of the more debilitating
characteristics of the disease. They both share
Isobel’s words about the group. She says,
“There is a great spirit of camaraderie. Age
is no barrier. You are your own barrier. But, if
you happen to stumble along the way, someone
will be there to pick you up”.
The MS group meetings are held at
Raley’s Sterling Point Conference Room
on the first Tuesday of the month at 1 P.M.
Often relatives and caregivers attend and
exchange prescription drug information and
various resources to help each other. And
guest speakers from the medical community
frequently offer helpful
information.
John and Isobel share a
very full life and are wonderful
examples of the old adage,
“living life to its fullest”.
Their warmth and energy are
contagious and remain with
you even after you walk out
of their Lavender Hill Court
home.

should be recognized?

Arts Association
BY CATHIE SZABO
With so many talented artists and artisans
in our association, it’s time to showcase some
members. In March, Kate Uppal will be in
the spotlight demonstrating some aspects of
fused glass art. Kate hopes to have samples
of the different stages involved with shaping a
glass bowl, as well as a presentation on fused
glass in general. “Clearly”, this will be terrific
introduction to an aspect of glass art many of
us are not familiar with.
Also at the meeting will be further details
and applications for May’s “Artisans in the
Lodge”, the new and improved version of
Art in the Park. No more worries about heat,
cold, rain and wind – both for exhibitors and
patrons. Artisans in the Lodge will be in the
comfort of Orchard Creek’s hallway. Mark
down Monday, March 28 for this meeting at
2pm in the Kilaga Springs Presentation Hall.
April/s meeting will bring a unique event
for our members – a chance to contribute to a
piece of art that will be raffled off at Artisans
in the Lodge. Duane Spurling will discuss
abstract art and then, under his direction,
members will have the opportunity to add
their touches to an abstract piece of art – the
completed work (and who knows what it will
look like) will be raffled off at May’s Artisans
in the Lodge.

Needle Arts---Threads of
Friendship
BY VICTORIA HILDEBRAND
Rami Kim author of Folded Fabric
Elegance and Quilted Elegance was our
very interesting and entertaining speaker for
February. In addition to her entertaining
speech, she presented a wonderful trunk show
of her many prize winning designs. Twelve of
the members were also lucky enough to attend
her workshop to learn her techniques that look
difficult, but are actually very simple to do.
Our speaker for March will be Don Beld
from southern California. His interest is the
civil war combined with his interest in quilt
making. An expert in Civil War soldiers’
quilts, he has reproduced all 6 of the existing
U.S. Sanitary Commission soldiers’ quilts. He
will offer us the stories behind the quilts. In
addition, he is the founder and guiding force
behind the “Home of the Brave quilt project
which delivers replica Civil War soldiers’
quilts to the families of U.S soldiers fallen in
Iraq and Afghanistan. He also has made a
series of moving “9/11” quilts. Don will also
present a workshop for needle arts members
on Wednesday following the program. Contact
Kristina Volker at (916) 543-9668 for details
and to sign up.
A series of workshops for Needle Arts
members will be held on the fourth Saturday
of the month. Cost of the workshops will be
for materials only and will be presented by
fellow members within their realm of expertise.
Workshops planned include: beginning
crochet, needlepoint, an Asian wall hanging,
knitting with cotton, sweatshirt embellishment,
coiled basket, Izzy dolls. Membership is only
$15 per year in order to take part in all of
Needle Arts activities.

further information by email and at the March
Meeting. In May we will begin regular meetings
on the first Tuesday of each month in the Fine
Arts Room at 2 PM.
The annual Fine Arts Show was held at
Orchard Creek February 25th and 26th, with
69 artists presenting their work for sale to
the public. Lincoln Arts is hosting a “Giving

Painters Club Approved January 27th by
the Association Board of Directors to be an
official club of the Community Association!!!
We may now hold meetings, collect dues,
elect officers, and be assigned a meeting room
within the Orchard Creek Lodge. We owe a
debt of gratitude to our Steering Committee:
Judith Huth, Joyce Bisbee, Paulette Pesavento,
Bonnie Dunlap, Diane Barkey, Gordon
Powers, Jim Brunk, Larry Paparell, and Diane
Pargament, who put in many hours and much
effort to bring their idea for a group focused
on two dimensional art, including oil, water
color, acrylics, pastels, pen and ink, and pencil,
to fruition.
At our February meeting, Paulette
shared information about “Where to get
Art Supplies”, and then asked for additional
input from others, who mentioned additional
resources and included comments about their
experiences with various providers. Paulette
then initiated a sharing of “Favorite Gadgets”.
Did you ever consider cutting thin slices from a
floor scrubber to press into paint and then onto
your canvas to simulate the intricate branches
of an oak tree? Vince Catalano did! Several
other artists also shared clever ideas. This was
followed by Show and Tell.
Our next meeting is March 2 in the
Multipurpose Room, Orchard Creek, at 2
PM. We will have small group critiques with
artists in each group sharing the “what” and
“why” of the piece they present and asking for
constructive criticism from those in their circle,
with the intent of learning from one another.
In April, since we were not able to secure a
meeting room, we will have an “Artists’ Table”
LH Photography Group
BY JEFF ANDERSEN
Our General meeting on the 9th will be
the first Show and Tell of the year, beginning
with pictures that meet the image Challenge
of the Month: Reflections. These are
interesting images that are sometimes created
on buildings, over water, or in the mirror just
as you get up in the morning (well, maybe not
that image, thank you). Getting the shot at a
favorable angle, or without distracting clutter
is also part the effort. (But for right now, it’s
an effort NOT thinking about that mirror in
the morning, isn’t it?) OK, so the balance of
this semi-annual show on the 9th will be other
pictures taken for other Challenges, plus a
wide assortment of creative and occasionally
brilliantly dulsatory presentations.
And, as with the prior paltry epistle, there
is no attached photo. Due, ironically, not
because the reflected mirror image didn’t turn
EXCELLENCE & INTEGRITY IN ESTATE PLANNING,

out, but because it did. It was scary.
We like to take pictures, and if you do,
too – come to our meetings to see and hear
what we do. Our Group is open to anyone with
a camera, or desire to get a camera. We have
fine art, vacation, beginning, intermediate, shy,
good and better photographers in our group
– all willing to share their knowledge about
taking satisfying pictures. We meet five times
a month, always on Wednesdays.
1st Wednesday 8:30AM – 10:00AM, OC
Multi-Media Room, Photo Enhancement

your virtual, visual, and intellectual pleasure.
8:30AM – 10:30AM, OC Multi-Media Room
– Round Table SIG – an open, informal
discussion about techniques, equipment,
software, image problems, and so on. In the
very same Multi-Media room from 10:45AM

dedicated printers discussing the materials and
methods of producing the final product – the
print. Visit our website SCLHPhoto.com for

Antiques Appreciation Club
BY ROSE MARIE WILDSMITH
Our February 7 meeting was a huge
success, thanks to two of our Members/
15
Collectors who presented an excellent program
on the history, types and colors of Depression
glass.
We were also very fortunate to view their
extensive collections with detailed explanations
on the names, types, etc., of this glassware,
including bowls, glasses, dinner sets, kitchen,
bedroom and bath ware.
This glassware was manufactured from the
1920’s to 1941. There were numerous colors
such as pink, amber, blue, green, crystal and
more, and over 80 distinctly different patterns.
This beautiful colored glass was given away
during the Depression at gas stations, in cereal
boxes, soapboxes and at “Dish Night” at the
local movie theaters. At one point, pieces
could be purchased at Sears for as little as 3
cents each. Times have changed as is true with
most collectibles!
On March 7, our program will feature
advertising. This can be any vintage item
advertising a product or company, such as
magazines, posters, trays, tins, calendars,
post cards, etc. Members are also encouraged
to bring one or two items from their own
collections for a Show and Tell following the
program.
Members will be manning our table at the
annual Club Expo scheduled for Wed., March
9 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to answer any
questions you may have about our Club, its
membership and monthly programs.
SAVE THE DATE! Our annual fun-filled
spring potluck is scheduled for Friday, April
29, starting at 5:30 p.m. at Kilaga Springs.
There will be a $3.00/person cost and we will
be taking reservations at our March 7 meeting.

Writers Group
BY JIM FULCOMER
The added Monday
in January gave the
Writers Group an extra
day for a meeting and as
is the custom, we had a
guest speaker. Mr. Earl
Earl Wynn
Wynn, a young man living
in Lincoln, shared with us his experiences as a
writer, editor and publisher. He told us how
he got into the business, starting as an author
and then utilizing on-line publishing sources,
developed a business model and made it work.
He was very encouraging and urged all of us,
regardless of our age or experience, to keep
on trying, because somebody, somewhere out
there, will be interested in what you write,
and should you get really lucky, pay you for
it. The difficulty for an unknown author to
get published can be formidable, but he urged
persistence and to keep on submitting! Many
of us felt that we were handed a homework
project, but the published authors among
us were in full agreement. The fact that so
many among us have the talent and have
made it work proves that it can be done. For
those who have not yet felt the urge to put
your opinions, thoughts, poems or memories
down, drop in and listen to what goes on at our
meetings. Our regular meetings are held in
the Ceramics Room at the OC Lodge at 6:30
PM on the second and fourth Monday every

Maintaining Your Windows 7/Vista Computer
for Top Performance by Terry Rooney
Yo u r c o m p u t e r n e e d s p e r i o d i c
maintenance, much like your car. Unfortunately
many computer users do not do this work and
computer performance can suffer.
There are now multiple tools built into
Windows 7 (also Vista) you can use, or which
you can schedule to run regularly. Windows
7 includes “advanced” diagnostics so you can
easily check on how often your system has
stopped working, what caused the problem,
and whether there is an update that fixes the
problem. In the past with Windows XP these
types of tools were often only available as
purchased add-ons.
This talk will focus on maintenance tasks,
such as deleting temporary files, checking the
integrity of the computer’s file system, and
defragmenting your hard drive. Virtually all
of these tasks can be done automatically so
your computer will remain in tip-top shape
at all times.

operating system communicate with your
computer hardware. Using the wrong or
outdated device driver can prevent your
hardware device from working correctly. For
example, an HP printer will not work with a
computer that only has a Canon printer driver.
Keeping your device drivers up-to-date avoids
problems when using a new operating system
such as Windows 7 with an existing hardware
device. By updating a device driver you can
often enable a new feature of your hardware.
Bob Ringo will show you how to find
missing or outdated drivers, locate and
download the latest driver for your hardware
device, and install the most up-to-date driver
for your hardware device.
Walk-In-Workshop: March15, 01:00PM 3:00PM in the Computer Lab at Orchard Creek.

LH Republican Club
BY LILLIAN NAWMAN
The Lincoln Hills Republican Club will
hold its next general membership meeting on
Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 6:30 PM in the
Kilaga Springs Lodge Presentation Hall.
The meeting will give us insight into
maximizing the web site information,
and current information from the Placer
County Republican organization and from
Representative Tom McClintock’s office.
Lincoln and Washington’s birthdays
occurred in February, and it seems appropriate
to be reminded of a statement from President
Ronald Reagan.
“I have always believed that America is
strongest and freest and happiest when it is
truest to the wisdom of its founders.” And - “If
we ever forget that we are ‘One Nation under
God’, then we will be a nation gone under.”
We encourage everyone to stay connected
with what’s going on by checking our website
often (www.RepublicanClubSCLH.org).
You’ll find a wealth of useful information,
and it is constantly being updated with club
events, action items, news articles, resource
materials, etc. Mark April 20th at 6:30 PM
on your calendar today, for another interesting
and enjoyable Republican Club meeting.

Alzheimer’s/Dementia
Caregivers’ Support Group
BY JEAN EBENHOLTZ
Alzheimer’s/Dementia Caregivers’
Support Group Meetings are intended for
caregivers only. The purpose of this support
group is to educate and offer professional
support and understanding to those who
are caregivers, as well as to give caregivers
an opportunity to share with others who
are experiencing similar caregiver issues.
If a person being cared for is in attendance
at meetings, it may inhibit caregivers from
speaking freely and sadden the loved one who
may well understand what is being said.
On Wednesday, March 23rd, at 1:00 PM
in the Multi-purpose Room, of OC Lodge,
Elizabeth Rawson, our Family Advisor from
Del Oro Resource Center, will once again lead
our support group. Her topic for this meeting
is “Spring Forward in Caregiving”, as always
Elizabeth works the discussion to meet the
needs of those present.
In addition to monthly support meetings
and alternating informational meetings, we are
pleased to make available a wide selection of
books, DVDs and CDs to help you and your
family and friends understand this disease.
At our April 23rd informational meeting,
Cathy Preble, of First Call Home Care and
Hospice, will introduce us to services available
through hospice.
For additional information please contact
Judy at 434-7864, Kathie at 543-0211 or Nancy

Bosom Buddies
BY VAL SINGER
Well ladies, the well has run dry. My
brain just doesn’t want to play and for the life
of me I can’t come up with a topic that any of
you would want to read. So I am going to
plagiarize something that I received from a
very dear friend. I hope you enjoy it as I did.
Nothing new is mentioned here but I know I
forget some of the rules of living every so often
and need to be reminded. As you have often
heard, “everything you need to know in life,
you learn in Kindergarten.” Like: don’t talk
with your mouth full; take turns; no hitting; use
inside voices and so on. When I see a driver
pull ahead of me when it’s my turn to move, I
say, “Well, you haven’t been to Kindergarten,
obviously!” Anyway, it makes me feel better.
Here we go:
• Be kinder than necessary because
everyone you meet is fighting some kind of
battle
• A sharp tongue can cut your own throat
• Of all the things you wear, your
expression is the most important
• The best vitamin for making friends – b1
• One thing you can give and still keep…
is your word
• The ten commandments are not a
multiple choice
How’s that for words of wisdom. I,
personally, like the last one.
February’s meeting was fun. BB had
Jeanie Robertson, who recited several of her
poems from her new book entitled “More
Thoughts in Rhyme”. Jeanie’s humor is
hilarious and gave all present some great
laughs. She was delightful and, hopefully, BB
can have her back some other time.
Remember that the Soroptimist’s dinner is
March 10th. Bosom Buddies is being honored
with an award for the outstanding services
you have all given to the community. In your
newsletter is all the information on this event
along with a reservation form you can send in
with your check. PLEASE PUT ON YOUR
FORM THAT YOU ARE PART OF BOSOM
BUDDIES so they seat us all together. The
dinner is being held at Thunder Valley’s new
hotel so it should be wonderful. Hope you
will be there to receive your award.
April’s meeting is going to be of interest to
each and every one of us. We are very fortunate
to have Dr. Pawar, an internist specialist from
UC Davis Medical Group. Her specialty is
OSTEOPORIS. Do you all need to learn
more about this? Do pigs fly?
April’s meeting is going to be held on
April 7th in the Fine Arts room. Mark it on
your calendar and plan to attend. Remember
we do lunch before the meeting at 11:30 at
The Meridians. If you plan to go to lunch,
please let Marilyn know at 434-8902 – so she
can make the reservations.
We meet at Orchard Creek Lodge on the
second Thursday of each month at 1:00 p.m.
EXCEPT FOR APRIL.
If you have any questions regarding
Bosom Buddies, please contact: Marianne
Smith (408-1818) or Sally Lewis (434-7381).
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...

Cataracts Surgery: No increased risk
of macular degeneration progression as a
precaution, after cataract surgery.
Years ago, development of dry MD to
wet occurred after cataract surgery. Chances
are much less with newer technology and
smaller incisions. Many doctors, use this newer
technique and some give Lucentis/Avastin 5
weeks before and 5 weeks after surgery. This
Australian study seems to reassure people
with MD to have cataract surgery: http://www.

Age: Does ‘Age Related’ bother you?
The reason the “age-related” tag on AMD
is to differentiate the pathology of aging
photoreceptor cells from the several juvenile
forms of macular degeneration. The ‘aging’ is
not referring personally.
It just refers to that extremely small part
of the body called the macula.- Dan Roberts

Shalom Social Group
BY MICHAEL GOLDSTEIN
February was a mixed up month. First…
I used the wrong date for the Woman’s Club
meeting. It was on Tuesday, the 8th, NOT
on the 15th. Notices were sent out by e-mail,
reminding everyone of the correct date, but
the Tuesday meeting was very poorly attended.
Bev and Robin decided to go back to the old
date, on the second Monday of the month.
So in March, the Woman’s Club will meet
on the 14th, at 11:30am at Oracle. There will
be a speaker about the three new theaters at
Folsom College, and the exciting events that
are scheduled there.
The second mix up was with the “Getto-Know-You” social, which was postponed.
At the moment it has not been rescheduled,
and there is a General Meeting on March 28th
at Kilaga at 7PM.
Please brouse your e-mail for updates on
your club’s events.

LH Italian Club
BY CHRIS SARTOR
California offers unlimited opportunities
for wine enthusiasts to wine taste in a variety
of geographical locations throughout the state.
Here in Lincoln Hills we are so lucky to have
a number of small award-winning, family-run
boutique wineries in the Sierra Foothills of
Placer County, less than 20 minutes from home.
Italians are known for their love of good food
and wine. So, our March event is going to be
one of our most popular when the Italian Club
hosts a Wine Tasting on Saturday, March 19th at
Turkey Creek Golf Club. Seven local vintners:
Dono dal Cielo, Rancho Roble, Pescatore,
Ciotti Cellars, Cristaldi Vineyards, Fortezza
Winery, and Popie Wines will bring their wines
for the Club to sample and purchase on site.
Both red and white wines will be available.
“Varietals include the highly floral Viognier
to dark-berried Tempranillo and lush Barbera
as just some of the samplings.” While tasting,
members can snack on appetizers, listen to
accordion music played by Vic Albertazzi and
Steve Pizzo, and watch an outstanding Italian
travelogue on the seven flat panel screens in
the clubhouse. Each of the seven vintners will
give away a bottle of wine as door prizes. This
event is limited to 120 members.
In April, back by popular request will be
our Golf Tournament on Monday, the 18th
at Lincoln Hills. Even if you are not a golfer,
you’ll enjoy this event. You can just play for fun,
or just come to watch and be part of the fun.

In February, 102 members and their guests
rocked out at our 50’s Sock Hop and Spaghetti
Dinner at Orchard Creek. Lots of poodle skirts
and block sweaters! DJ Jim Keener played
requests and some of the Italian greats of the
50’s: the Jersey Boys, Frankie Avalon, Dean
Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Frankie Valle.
Prizes were given to the best 50’s outfits and
the best dancers. Many thanks to Lilly LaPira
and Jennifer Lauchner for making this such a
fun evening for everyone!

Bird Group
BY RUTH BAYLIS
The weather has certainly impacted our
field trip schedule this season. Rain forced
a rescheduling of our December trip to the
25
Sacramento National
Wildlife Refuge, then
our late January raptor
trip to Linden was
postponed a week due
to fog. But in both cases,
we were rewarded with
beautiful weather on
Red-shouldered
the rescheduled trips.
Hawk
In mid-January, there
were still many ducks
and geese at SNWR. We sighted 5 Bald Eagles,
one up close in the Eucalyptus trees that are
adjacent to the visitors center and normally
occupied by Turkey Vultures. On our Linden
trip in early February, the raptor species sighted
were: Turkey Vulture, White-tailed Kite, Bald
Eagle, Northern Harrier, Red-tailed Hawk,
Red-shouldered Hawk, Ferruginous Hawk,
American Kestral, and Prairie Falcon. We
were surprised by a large number of Long
Billed Curlew feeding in a field. It was a very
productive trip with around 60 bird species
found overall.
Our speaker at the February general
meeting was Heath Wakelee, board member
and former president of the Sierra Foothills
Audubon Society. He presented our annual
Bluebird program where we learn about
Bluebirds and other cavity nesting birds. As
always, Heath’s presentation was entertaining
and provided much useful information
for those who wish to maintain homes for
Bluebirds and Tree Swallows in our community.

identified 37 different species along the
Ferrari Ponds, the wetlands, and the Salt
Pond. Initially, we had 14 birders, but by the
time we finished, 21/2 hours later, there were
7. There was drama in the sky, as several of
us witnessed a hawk chasing a Great Egret, a
most unusual sight in itself. We watched as
the Egret dropped its catch and the hawk, a
Red-tail, caught it in mid-air and proceeded to a
nearby evergreen to have its breakfast. On the
ground, we spotted a pair of Northern Harrier
hawks seemingly landing near their nest on a
dryer part of the wetlands near the Salt Pond.
A Ring-necked Pheasant posed for us on the
rail fence bordering the golf course. A fishing
Great Blue Heron stood stock still for at least 15
minutes, as we began our walk, across the water
from it. On the water, we saw Mallards, Piedbilled Grebe, Buffleheads, Coots, Moorhens,
Green-winged and Cinnamon Teal, American
Wigeon and Canada Geese. Others in or near
the water were the Snowy Egret, a Long-Billed
Curlew, Belted Kingfisher, and a Doublecrested Cormorant. In addition to the Harrier
hawks and Red-Tail, we saw a Red-shouldered
and Cooper’s hawk. A California Quail tried
unsuccessfully to hide from us, as we passed
by on the trail. In the reeds, some spotted an
immature Black-crowned Night-Heron and we
all enjoyed the Red-winged Blackbirds. Marsh
Wrens were skittering among the reeds, and
a Song Sparrow treated us with its music. To
wrap up our list of sightings, the California
Gull, the Brewers’ Blackbirds, the Black
Phoebes, Northern Flickers, Tree Swallows,
House Finchs, and Western Bluebirds must
be included.
The following are upcoming events for
the Bird Group.

LH Shooting Group
BY ED KASPER
The purpose of the Shooting Group is
to meet neighbors and make friends among
the Sun City Lincoln Hills residents who are
interested in shooting or reloading and to
give these folks an opportunity to participate
together in shooting sports activities. People
interested in Shotgun, rifle or pistol shooting
can contact each other through the Group and
get together at local or nearby shooting ranges.
The Group has a very active skeet and
trap program. We meet every Tuesday morning
at 8:00 AM, during the warmer Spring and
Summer months and at 9:00 AM, during the
cooler Fall and Winter months, to shoot Trap,
International Trap and Sporting Clays. We
meet again on Thursday morning at using the
above times to shoot Skeet and 5 Stand. These
shoots are held at the Coon Creek Trap and
Skeet range. This is a local public range. Please
contact us for directions and to determine the
hours we are shooting. Skeet shooters can
participate in a weekly handicapped event.
Participants shoot two rounds of skeet. The
scores are then adjusted with handicap points.
This allows shooters of all different abilities to
shoot in the same round and still have a chance
to win the event. After scored shooting the
range is available for Skeet, Trap, Sporting
Clays and 5 Stand practice.

the Annual Crab Fest. The event attracted
nearly 200 hungry diners who consumed
appetizers, Shrimp cocktails, Gene’s Fantastic
Chowder and, oh yes, Dungeness Crab in
great quantities. What with great food, good
fellowship and lots of raffle prizes, a great time
was had by all.
But we still had time for some fishing.
While the temperature has still been on the
cool side, the fishing activity has begun to
heat up with some pretty successful trips and
others producing less than spectacular results.

successful outings
was a trip to Pyramid

over 20 inches and
also reported that
bank fishermen were doing at least as well. A
good time was had by all. A visit to Folsum
Lake, also in February, did not fare as well
finding great conditions but few fish. Oroville
produced Coho Salmon in the 12 to 14 inch
range and showed great promise for a bit later
in the year as these fish grow rapidly. Bullards
Bar provided great boating but no fish for a
group that went up there in late February. We
fully expect the fishing to continue but with
better results on the catching end.
As reported last month, the planning for
this year is well along with a trip to Pardee
scheduled for March 24, an outing to Collins
Lake on April 14, Fall River scheduled for the
16th to 19th of May and more. In addition to
these club events, there are many ad-hoc trips

Hiking - Walking Group
BY SUSAN GEISLER
There is so much to explore in the great
outdoors… both here at Lincoln Hills with the
Walking Group and in the surrounding areas
with the Hiking Group. Spring is almost upon
us, so if you have a desire to enjoy what Nature
has to offer and get in some wonderful exercise
at the same time, consider joining our Group,
either with the Walkers or the Hikers. New
walkers or hikers are always welcome! Check
out information about both groups by going
on the web site http://www.lincolnhillshikers.
org or call one of the phone numbers listed at
the end of this article.
Margie Campbell, coordinator of the
Walking Group, paints a delightful picture of
the group’s activity: “We have all heard the
expression ‘Go Climb a Mountain’, and so,
Walkers have a mountain of minuscule heights
that some believe it to be a gut-kicker. At
the top, walkers take the time to enjoy their
reward: a breezy view of the surrounding small
landscape and a huff ‘n puff silence. And now,
that we have been refueled, wandering on to
complete another crisp winter day’s two-mile
walk.”
The Hiking Group has explored quite a
variety of trails and places — Auburn State
Recreation Area trails, American River
Parkway (sections in Sacramento and Folsom),
Sonoma (Jack London State Park), Oroville,
Sacramento Waterfront area, and El Dorado
Hills --- to name a few of the places. The
Spring hike destinations are equally diverse

Servicing Lincoln Hills 5 Days a Week
Speed it up with a Tune-Up*
BY DIANE PARGAMENT
As a destination ride or part of a longer
trip, the Manzanita Cemetery ride is a standard
for most of the Lincoln Hills Cyclist groups.
As with other routes, this one is steeped in the
history of our region, with sights and sounds of
the countryside, and the call to pedal for the
pure love of the open road ahead.
For the 20 Milers Group, the ride begins
with the trip through Lincoln on East Avenue,
turning north on McCourtney road. After
crossing Virginiatown Road and heading
toward Wise, we pass several small farms

both in the type of environment and the ease
or difficulty of the hikes.
Last month’s Hiking/Walking Group
article listed the group officers and the hike
leaders and sweeps. Unfortunately, one new
hike leader and a new sweep was omitted and
the author apologizes for that error. So… on
behalf of the Group, I would like to announce…
Jim Cutler, new hike leader, and his wife, Gail,
new hike sweep. Thank you for volunteering,
your efforts, and your enthusiasm! Jim and
Gail will lead a great hike on March 1st on the
Sacramento Waterfront area, and on March
24th they have planned a very interesting
outing at the Deer Creek Hills Preserve in
Rancho Cordova.

inconvenience.
2. Neighbors InDeed concedes that CFLs
do not function well with dimmer switches, so
in this case, keep your incandescent bulbs for
those fixtures.
3. CFLs contain a minute amount of
mercury, and therefore they must be recycled
at stores like Home Depot, Lowe’s, and the
Western Placer Waste Management Authority
site on Athens Road.
4. Finally, if those squiggly shapes
(“spirals”) bother you, consider CFLs that
look very much like a traditional bulb (see
illustration).
MYTHS
1. They produce an annoying, flickering
light that drives you crazy
2. They produce dim light that isn’t as
bright as incandescents
3. They have a high failure rate
4. Their mercury levels are dangerous
and highly toxic
With every new technology, there are
always some myths to contend with.
1. That flicker that you associate with
some of the CFLs of a decade ago has been
corrected in current manufacturing. If you get
one that flickers, return it for a free exchange.
2. CFLs come in three different brightness
levels to suit your own preference in a given
area in your house. In some cases, you won’t
know the difference between a CFL and an
incandescent once it’s up to full speed.
3. Some CFLs are poorly manufactured
– watch out! Make sure your CFLs carry the
“Energy Star” label, which will ensure you have
a high quality bulb. If one does fail, you can
return it and get a replacement, free of charge!
4. A CFL bulb contains up to 5 milligrams
of mercury (1/6000th of an ounce). For
comparison, consider that a fever thermometer
contains about 100 times more mercury. The
mercury in a CFL is sealed, so no mercury
is released from an intact bulb. And some
manufacturers have now dropped the mercury
content in CFLs to a mere 1 milligram per bulb!
Because of the hazards involved with the
release of mercury into the air, a broken CFL
bulb should be treated with care. Check out
the EPA’s recommended steps for cleanup
and disposal, which include allowing time in
an aired-out room for any airborne mercury
to dissipate.
www.epa.gov/cfl/cflcleanup.html
How many Handy Helpers does it take
to change your light bulbs to CFLs? Answer:
One! Call Neighbors InDeed at 223-2763 and
save yourself a bunch of money!

“Rumors” Comes
To Lincoln High
Lincoln Hills Players will present Neil
Simon’s “Rumors” at Lincoln High School
March 10 – 13. This theatrical group from Sun
City in Lincoln, combines retired professionals
and talented amateurs in this romp of a farce.
It is guaranteed to keep you laughing.
Tickets are available by calling 1-800-8383006. Performances are Thursday, Friday and
Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 2pm, March 10
– 13. Ticket prices are $13. There is a special
ticket price of $9 for Lincoln High students,
their parents, faculty and staff. Proceeds
benefit Lincoln High School.
“Rumors” by the author of “The Odd
Couple” and “The Sunshine Boys” among
others, is a madcap comedy in which friends
gather for an anniversary of the Deputy Mayor
of New York City and his wife only to find the
host has shot himself and the wife is missing. As
they attempt to cover-up the looming scandal,
stories get confused, identities are mistaken
and mayhem is everywhere.
Neil Simon is recognized as one of the
most prolific and funniest comedy writers on
Broadway and “Rumors” ranks as one of his
best. This is a show you don’t want to miss.

with more tools to help them in performing
their tasks. Already in the mix is the search for
new directors. Several of the present directors
will be completing their terms this year, and
a search committee, headed by Ken Sheehan,
will get to work to replace them. We can have
up to 14 directors, and they can hold two terms
of two years each with a year off before they
can run again.

as a Director.
Among the goals for the coming year
is a campaign, “Adopt-A-Village/Mail Box
Station,” designed to encourage folks to sign
on as a Mail Box Captain or as a Coordinator
by clarifying that one does not have to live in
the village in which one works, ie. I could be a
Mail Box Captain or a Coordinator for Village

Leland Guth, representing Bill Becker,
Chair of CERT (Community Emergency
Response Team) reported the recent graduation
of 50-60 residents following its latest program.
The next program is planned for October.
CERT is looking forward to working with
Neighborhood Watch and possibly getting
involved in National Night Out to promote its
emergency preparedness to residents.
National Night Out is scheduled for
Tuesday, August 2. Guidelines and registration
forms are available on our website at WWW.
lincal.net/watch.
ALERTS SUCCESS. An impressive
example of Neighborhood Watch in action
occurred when an alert neighbor saw
suspicious subjects and an unfamiliar vehicle
on his street. He took down the license
plate number, and his information resulted
in the arrest of the perpetrators of several
burglaries in our community, namely those
on Audubon Hill Place and Graeagle Lane.
The police are attempting to recover some
of the stolen jewelry, which was allegedly
pawned in Roseville.
In another recent
burglary some residents on Rustic Ranch Road
went on vacation and left a window partially
open. When they returned home they found
some jewelry missing. This case is under
investigation.
If you spot any suspicious characters
or activities in your village, please inform
our Alerts Coordinator, Mary Cranston, at
[email protected].
DYNAMIC DUO: New Co-Coordinators
for Village 26C, Joan Brant-Love and Jean
Hanson, are two busy people, but that seems
to have been the stories of their lives. Jean,
originally from Rhode Island, moved out here
with her parents to join a sister who lived
in the Bay Area. For many years she was a
public health nurse who eventually became
the manager of the Maternal-Child Health
program of Alameda County. Here in Sun City
for two-and-a-half years, she enjoys gardening,
belongs to book and wine clubs and goes on
auto trips around the country with her husband.
Joan, on the other hand, is a native San
Franciscan, third generation, who has lived all
around the country from Baltimore to Texas to
Palo Alto to Sun City, where she has been for
five-and- a-half years. She began her working

career in social service agencies, then moved
on to hi-tech work. After doing consulting
in her own firm, she returned to working in
the technology field until the dot.com era,
when she went back to social service with
Planned Parenthood in San Jose. Like Jean,
she doesn’t sit still for long. She is director
of Neighbors-InDeed and, also like Jean, she
is an avid gardener and landscaper who finds
time to work out in the Fitness Center and go
for long walks.
Already they are making plans for a village
Fourth of July party and a National Night Out
celebration, and their combined energy should
keep things hopping in Village 26C.

and ranches, the most notable of which is the
Ingersoll Training Stables at 2499 McCourtney
Road, where Doug and Julie Ingersoll are a
fixture in the Lincoln Community. Many of
these properties are havens for horses, with
tree-surrounded ponds, ranch style homes
with wood stoves (ahhh, the smell of smoke in
the morning), and a peaceful rural feel. One
property currently for sale on McCourtney goes
for $6 million-plus for 80 acres, or you could
grab a deal at $625,000 for 10 acres.
20-Milers on Wise Rd. return from the
Manzanita Cemetery.
Once across Wise Road we cross Doty
Creek, which is listed in the Auburn Ravine/
Coon Creek Restoration Plan for restoration
of salmon habitat. The steep climb up to the
old farmhouse is a challenge, and some opt for
a shorter ride, taking Merritt Lane to Gladding
Road. For those willing to make the climb,
the reward is a long downhill run just after the
farmhouse. Passing Big Ben Road, we may
encounter cyclists coming down the hill from
the “Big Ben Ride,” which usually includes a
trip to the cemetery (figuratively, of course – no
matter how difficult the trip up Big Ben is, it’s
not THAT bad!). Did you know that there’s
an internationally known orchid farm just up
the road on Big Ben? Gold Country Orchids
was established in 1978 in Newbury Park, in
Southern California, and moved to Northern
California in 1983. The nursery is open to the
public, or you can order orchids online.
At Fleming Road we turn west. If we
continued north on McCourtney we would
soon find Kilaga Springs Road, where there
really is a spring and many scenic views for
photographers and painters. You can also find
the Lincoln Koi Farm on North Kilaga Springs
Road. Fleming is a quintessential rural lane,
with weeds and grass pushing in, narrowing it
to little more than a one-car path, less than it
was a few years ago. Notable along this road
is the Rancho Robles Winery, a family winery
known for Italian Barbera grapes, planted,
according to their website, because of their
history in the Placer County area. This grape
was first brought here during the Gold Rush
by the Forty-Niners and is well suited to the
Sierra Foothills microclimates. The folks at
Rancho Roble are very friendly, and so is their
dog – stop by and visit them sometime.
At the end of Fleming, we turn south
onto Gladding Road. This is the route back
to Lincoln and the Gladding McBean Clay
Factory, but we cut off onto Manzanita Road
toward the Manzanita Cemetery. Manzanita
Road is a short winding way lined with
crumbling oaks and precious few manzanitas.
The cemetery is rich in history and lore from
the Gold Rush days and is still in use today.
Historical marker #63, placed by the Native
Sons of the Golden West, states that this
location was first called Manzanita Grove
and featured a rustlers’ hideout and corral in
the dense brush and undergrowth. After the
rustlers were cleared out, it became the site
of the Manzanita School, from 1857 to 1899.
A Family Tradition Since 1934
400 Douglas Blvd. • Roseville
783-0474
FD#734
If you walk among the gravesites you will
see markers for many familiar local pioneer
names, such as Gladding, Beerman, Ingram,
Dowd, many going back to the early 1800s.
Try Googling the Manzanita Cemetery to
find stories of hauntings and a list of markers.
On leaving the cemetery, we pass the
Hanging Tree, pockmarked with acorns stuffed
into holes made by woodpeckers. A squirrel
may run in front of your bike, and the local
cows will check you out as you go by. Once in
a while a forced stop is necessary as cows are
herded along the road. If you are a birdwatcher,
you may spot Downy Woodpeckers, Flickers,
Red Tailed Hawks, Red Shouldered Hawks,
numerous Sparrows, Meadowlarks and
Blackbirds. Be careful to watch where you’re
going and don’t run off in the ditch while
checking out the fauna.
As we turn South on Manzanita Road
headed back toward Wise, we cross Coon Creek
and pass the decaying two-story farmhouse
belonging to the Ferrari Ranch. The house at
one time was slated to be restored, but current
plans may include sale and subdivision instead.
This is the site of the current Ferrari Ranch, a
busy working enterprise with a history going
back to the early days of Lincoln. The Ferraris
still live here and operate this ranch.
At the end of Manzanita, we turn East
and head back on Wise Road toward Lincoln.
At this point we begin to realize how lucky we
are to be able to cycle out here in the open
spaces – this section of Wise is currently
being lined with huge new power poles which
will run from Gladding Road to the Pleasant
Grove substation in Roseville. This will bring
more power to accommodate growth that is
projected for the future. This is an area that is
designated to be one of the several “villages” in
35
the City of Lincoln master plan. But for now,
along this stretch we find the Kentfield Polo
Club which from time to time features active
polo matches, and our favorite strawberry farm
on the north side of the road. This farm was
originally on McCourtney but moved to Wise
Road when they were told the owners of the old
farm wanted to build on their property (they
never did). The strawberries on Wise seem to
be just as good as the ones on McCourtney,
and a stop to pick up a basket is a highlight of
the ride in the summer.
The last stop before arriving back at
Kilaga Springs is the driveway of the Lincoln
Oaks Bed and Breakfast at 2819, listed in the
Sacramento Bed and Breakfast Guide as one
of the top 10 locally. It was recently sold, so
we are not sure if it is still operating.
The end of the ride takes us back to
Lincoln on McCourtney road, retracing our
tire tracks until we arrive once again at Kilaga
Springs and that ever-welcome cup of coffee!

SCLH WRITER’S CORNER...
Redheaded Guardian
BY DAVID L. PERKINS
For the past three or four years hanging
plants on our patio have provided a nesting
place for a hummingbird.
Each spring she returns to either refurbish
her old nest or build a new one. Then she lays
two pea-sized white eggs and sits on them until
they hatch about three weeks later.
The tiny blobs, no larger than a housefly,
grow rapidly and by six weeks of age have
fledged and disappear - until next year.
We see several hummingbirds flitting
about the yard all summer long and often
feeding at the feeder we have erected in the
back yard.
By late fall and winter they usually
disappear although occasionally a hardy soul
appears at the feeder.
This past November and December
experienced all-time record lows when
there were hard freezes two or three nights
in succession. It was necessary to bring the
hummingbird feeder in and thaw it out because
it became an ice cube.
Imagine our surprise to see a beautiful
redheaded male hummingbird immediately
descend upon the thawed out feeder when it
was replaced.
From then on this bird has perched almost
constantly upon a wire tomato cage a few feet
from the feeder. He almost never stirs except
to visit the feeder for a snack.
Even though hummingbirds are usually
Quality
quite skittish, redhead doesn’t stir when I come
to check the feeder or remove it for filling. He
just sits there as if he is standing guard over
his food supply.
He has become the Redheaded Guardian.

The flames once feared are cleansing;
They wash away tears of shame,
And strip her of every last vestige
Of a battle weary heart.
Till all that remains is the core,
The part that is hers alone.
No one else may touch it
Unless it be given, freely.
She saves it and guards it fiercely,
Knowing that a few rich joys
Will temper the melancholies of life.
She dons courage to go forth.
Her plumage now so brilliant
That none can gaze upon her,
And all must avert their eyes
Lest they, too, be consumed.

It’s the 18th week of 32 weeks for the
league. Again there was some spectacular
bowling. Bob Barrows not only had a clean ( no
open frames) game but threw nine, count ‘em,
nine strikes in a row leaving three pins in the
tenth for a 297 total. Harry Snowden also had
a clean game and Sam Munos left a seven pin
open in the first frame, threw strikes in frames
two through nine and left one pin in the tenth
for a 243 total. If it wasn’t for handicap a lot
of us would be playing Bocce Ball.

SCOOP
BY DIANNE GEORGE
The Dog Doctors have been talking and
we have been learning. Last month Dr. Bikram
Basra from the Rocklin Ranch Veterinary
Clinic gave us tips on caring for the older
dog. We learned about preventive care and
the signs of serious problems that we should
watch for. The Rocklin Ranch Vet Clinic is
open seven days a week and does not charge
for same day visits. Saturday and Sunday visits
are not charged as emergency calls. That‘s
good to know!
Our February speaker was Dr. Ann LeschHollis of the Sterling Pointe Veterinary Clinic.
She spoke on dog allergies and touched on
the problems associated with over vaccinating
Fido. Bravo, Dr. Ann!
Our March speaker will be Dr. “E” of
Banfield at Petsmart. He will be speaking on
common ailments and injuries that happen
at home. Hip and back injuries and failings
are an example of his topics will be included
in his topics list. Make sure you make it to

Observations
BY MARTIN GREEN
Here is the first look at Life’s Little
Annoyances (LLA’s) for this year. To start
with, it was annoying when people would
want to talk about football after that disaster
(Giants blowing a 17-point lead with seven
minutes to play against the Eagles and thereby
blowing their season), which they did all the
time up to the Super Bowl. That’s over and
so I hope there’ll be no more football talk
until next season. In view of the impasse in
owners-players contract talks, maybe there
won’t even be a next season. That wouldn’t be
good, except that I (and other Giants’ fans)
would be spared from another possible disaster.
Okay, with that out of the way, the
reason I thought it was time for another LLA
column was that I recently encountered a
real annoyance: someone had infiltrated my
computer and sent e-mails using my name to
a number of people on my mailing list. I was
made aware of this when I received an e-mail
from my son Chris, who’s a software engineer
and knows all about computers, telling me he’d
gotten such an e-mail. He advised immediately
changing my e-mail password and also to scan
my computer for malware, which I assume is
short for malicious ware.
Changing my password would seem to be
a fairly simple matter, if anything concerning
computers is simple, but a further annoyance
was that I had to spend a long time doing it.
The instructions kept telling me to click on my
user ID in the upper right hand corner, simple
enough except that there was no user ID in
the upper right corner. After going around in
circles for a while I finally got to the right page
(I’m not sure how) and then it was simple. I
remain baffled as to why anyone would want
to spend time stealing my password to send
e-mails under my name. There must be better
things to do, even for a hacker.
Another recent annoyance is that this
year we’re not being sent the Federal or the
State tax forms and instructions as has been
done every year for as long as I can remember.
The reason of course is that our good Congress
delayed so long in finally extending the “Bush
tax cuts” and possibly because the Federal and
State governments want to save money. They
will send material if asked, or at least so they
say. This latest is just another annoyance piled
on top of all the annoying aspects of paying
your taxes. One annoyance is that apparently
some politicians, entertainers and other such
rich folk don’t bother to pay their share of taxes.
These are the ones we know about because
they’ve been caught and give lame excuses.
I wonder how many others get away with it?
Another annoyance is that we seniors have to
pay taxes on social security. Didn’t we already
contribute to this for all the years we worked
so that we’d have something? I won’t get into
other tax things I find annoying as I don’t want
the IRS to get after me.
We can deduct charitable donations when
we pay our taxes, and this is a good thing. I
make my donations each year, trying to selects
organizations that directly benefit people or
animals, such as the Placer Food Bank and
the Placer SPCA. Unfortunately, I seem to
have gotten on the list of every charitable
organization in the world. I never knew
there were so many different wildlife charity
organizations; at least one for every known
animal. Requests for donations come every

day in the mail; in fact, they comprise about
two-thirds of all the mail we get.
Speaking of the mail, it’s annoying to have
periodic increases in the price of stamps, I
understand the post office is laying off people
and cutting other costs, so why do stamps keep
getting more expensive? At the same time,
mail delivery keeps getting more and more
erratic. Sometimes the mail is there by two,
other times not until four. Annoying, if you’re
expecting something in the mail, not requests
for donations, to have to keep going out to an
empty mailbox.
Going back to the Super Bowl, all that
hoopla by itself is annoying, and the half time
“entertainment” is also usually annoying. I
had my TV on mute at halftime, but still
think I caught a glimpse of a commercial in
which a baby gives investment advice, high on
my list of annoying commercials. The Geico
commercial in which a guy with a grating voice
asks questions such as “Do woodchucks chuck
wood?” is another annoying one. Go back
to the gecco. Okay, that’s enough LLA’s for
now; more will come up as the year goes on.
By the way, the Super Bowl game itself was
pretty good. Next year the Giants will------no,
let’s not get into that.

Spring Conference sponsored by WJU
Friends & Neighbors, Inspired. “Putting
Women of the Bible in Their Place—and It’s
Not Where You Think” presented by WJU
Professor, Dr. Merilyn Copland. The program
will provide an overview of what women of faith
did in the place and time they lived that had
an impact on Israel and even the rest of the
world. We will be looking at the life of Huldah
of Jerusalem in the Old Testament and then
Joanna of Jerusalem and Mary of Magdala in
the New Testament. The presentation will show
new archaeological and manuscript evidence
that will help us to re-examine what we thought
women were doing in antiquity. Attendees will
have an opportunity to engage in an open Q&A
following the discussion.
Dr. Copland will be conducting a dig in the
summer of 2011 at Magdala next to the Sea of
Galilee. This is an unprecedented opportunity

Crab Season Means Cioppino Time!
Now that the crab season is in full swing and the
plethora of crabs has lowered the price, it is time to
talk about a creation of the Italians of San Francisco,
cioppino.
What is known is that cioppino is 100 percent
California, 100 percent San Francisco and 100 percent
good. As to it’s name, the most logical and believable
story is this one.
When the Italian fishermen got too old or became
too tired to ride the rough waves to fish, they waited
for the boats to come back to Fisherman’s Wharf
with their catch. When the boats docked, these men
helped unload the fish.
Because they were not paid for their work, one of
them would take a bucket and go from boat to boat
asking each owner to put some fish, crab or shrimp in
the bucket. In order to get the owner’s attention, they
shouted “Chip-in, Chip-in.” These Italians, using
American slang, forced the “in” to become “een” and
putting them together it became “chipino.”
