Bert and Joan Donlon — Pact and Fate Lead them to SCR
BY ANN WAHLENMEIER
When Bert Donlon retired
from teaching at Los Gatos
High School in the Bay area,
he wanted to move away from
Los Gatos. He’d been a teacher
there for 35 years.
His wife, Joan, who was
born and raised in Palo Alto,
had different ideas.
“I didn’t want to move
anywhere, I love Los Gatos.”
Joan explains. “I made a pact
with him. I would move under
three conditions: I wanted a Del
Webb community, a full fledged
Kaiser facility, and to be near at
least one of our grandchildren.”
“I was quite confident those criteria would
never be met,” she laughs.
Bert was raised in Hermosa Beach near
LA. He attended Loyola University where
he obtained his teaching credential. Upon
graduation he accepted the offer from Los
Gatos High School to teach Geometry and
Photography.
Joan received her nursing degree at the
U. of San Francisco and worked as a school
nurse. They were introduced by a mutual friend
Bert and Joan Donlon
in 1963, and married in June of 1965. When
the children came along, she put her school
nurse career on hold. Later, as the children
grew older, Joan decided to get her real estate
license and become a realtor.
Well, ten years after Bert retired, the pact
she worked out with him didn’t quite happen
as she thought. Fate stepped in.
Their son-in-law, Jeremy Sullivan
accepted a job in Sacramento. He and their
daughter, Denise, and their baby, Katie, moved
to Roseville. Jeremy is a Research
Librarian for a law firm. Denise, a
Facilities Coordinator for a law firm
in Palo Alto, was able to continue
her work from Roseville. A 2nd
baby girl, Lindsay, completed their
family.
Bert and Joan also have two
sons. Chuck lives in San Diego with
his wife, Jovie, and 2 children. He
is a VP at Carefusion, a company
that produces medical products.
Ed lives in San Jose with his
wife, Debbie, and 2 children. He
is a R&D Engineer for Intuitive
Surgical, a company which designs
and builds the da Vinci Surgical
System, the platform for robotically
assisted minimally invasive surgery.
Since Denise now lives in Roseville, and
there is a Del Webb and a full-fledged Kaiser
facility nearby, Joan had no choice but to look
into Sun City. They decided they liked what
they saw. That was 2007.
It didn’t take long for either of them
to get involved. Bert joined the Computer
Club that includes photography as a special

IMPORTANT
NOTICE
Do you own burial property in a cemetery?
If so, how long has it been since you were in touch with that
cemetery? At least once every 3 to 4 years, you should check the
status of your cemetery facility to make sure they have your current
address and phone number—especially if you have recently moved.
It is also important to ask about funeral arrangements to accompany
your cemetery property. Don’t wait until an immediate need arises.
Planning ahead can save you from having to make difficult decisions
while grieving and bring you and your family tremendous peace
of mind.
Advance funeral and cremation arrangement plans are available for
every budget and you can set your preferred payment terms.

Citizens Patrol — Citizens Patrol is an
important part in keeping our community safe.
The word is out that we have vehicles with a
yellow sign on top patrolling day and night. It’s
not the area that we cover; it’s being seen out
there in the community. If the vehicles sit in
our parking lot it does nothing to deter crime.
We want them out patrolling the community.
On Wednesday January 23rd, 2013 we will
have our 2nd Annual Appreciation Breakfast
for the Citizens Patrol volunteers starting at
8:00 AM. All active volunteers in our database
who patrol Daytime or Night time may attend
including Shift Captains. You must obtain a
ticket to attend so we can get a “head count” for
the food and setup of the Ballroom. Tickets are
available at the Citizens Patrol office starting
December 10th, 2012. Mark your calendar as
seating is limited. We ask if you have a ticket
New Improved
Website for Local
Seniors, Caregivers
and Professionals
An abundance of information can be
found in books, magazines and websites about:
growing older, staying independent and caring
for aging parents. However, it can be very
difficult to find public services near you such
as Transportation, Legal Advice, and support
for Family Caregivers, unless you know where
to look. To help address that problem, Area
4 Agency on Aging (A4AA) is pleased to
present our newly redesigned website: www.
a4aa.com<http://www.a4aa.com>
For almost 40 years, A4AA has contracted
with fellow non-profit organizations to provide
federal, Older Americans Act (OAA) services
to people age 60 and older. “Meals on Wheels”
is the program people know best. But people
may not know that Area 4 is the major funding
source for Meals on Wheels, senior lunch sites
and many other services in our region, which
includes Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra,
Sutter, Yolo and Yuba Counties.
By law, OAA services are free to eligible
seniors, regardless of income; although
donations are encouraged. To learn more
about these services in your area - and for
and your plans change, please return them to
the office so the ones on the wait list can attend.
We want to recognize the volunteers who make
this the safest community in our area.

I wrote about the restaurant Chef’s
Table, located in the Blue Oaks Market on
Lonetree Boulevard, shortly after it opened,
but hadn’t been to it until recently when Jim
and Amy Costello, who’d been there several
times, drove us there (in the dark) for dinner.
Jim is a fellow former handball player so has
impeccable taste, as well as being a gourmet
and wine connoisseur. At his suggestion,
Beverly and I both had as our entrée the
Southern fried buttermilk battered chicken,
which came with mashed potatoes, bacon gravy
and seasoned vegetables. As I recall. Jim and
Amy, who’d had this before, ordered the same.
We all agreed that it was very satisfactory.
The chicken was extremely tender and, while
not exactly the same as other fried chicken
I’ve had, tasted good. Jim and Amy also had
pumpkin cake for dessert. While the others
had their approved wines, I had to be different
so asked for a dark beer and our waiter Brahm,
who provided excellent service, directed me to
Berryessa brew Baltic porter and this proved
a good choice.
Chef’s Table’s website describes chef
David Hill’s cuisine as “earthy European
classic, with emphasis on local products,
organics, and farm specific foods.” Besides
the fried chicken, the menu for larger plates
included pulled pork tacos (2), grilled pork
loin, and beef tenderloin. Smaller plates
included pork wild wings, grilled sambal
sturgeon and Painted Hills all-natural burger.
The restaurant is rather small (seats 38) so
reservations are recommended. The phone
number is 771-5656. The address is 6843
Lonetree Boulevard.
A couple of months ago, I wrote that
the Bravo! Restaurant at 1465 Eureka Road
had initiated Peruvian dishes. Jim Costello
(yes, the same one) informed me of a Peruvian
restaurant, La Huaca, at 9213 Sierra College
Boulevard. Is Peruvian the latest cuisine? I
don’t think it will replace Thai, but who knows.
For those like me who know nothing about
Peruvian cuisine, Wikipedia says it reflects a
number of influences, Spanish, Italian, West
African, Chinese and Japanese, on top of local
practices and ingredients; its three staples are
corn, potatoes and chili peppers.
La Huaca’s menu covers soups, salads
and sandwiches as well as lunch and dinner. It
also has a section on “Causas,” which it says is
Peru’s most popular export, made with yellow
mashed potatoes and splashed with lime juice,
cilantro, and aji Amarillo. The separate dishes
feature chicken, shrimp and octopus and there
is a sample plate of everything. Lunch dishes
include Peruvian roast chicken, fresh fried
fish of the day and a flamed steak. Seafood
dinners include fresh grilled salmon and
sautéed shrimp. Meat dinners include “aji des
gallina,” pieces of chicken breast simmered in
a homemade sauce; “pachamanca tres carnes,”
chicken, beef and pork slowly cooked in a sauce
and served with Peruvian corn cake; “seco de
cordero con frijoles,” lamb baked for hours
in homemade Peruvian cilantro sauce served
with garnish of imported Peruvian beans and
rice; and “lomo saltado,” filet mignon cooked
in a Peruvian Pisco sauce served with sautéed
tomato wedges and onions, homemade fries
and criollo rice.
Jim says they liked the chicken dishes best
and that the restaurant is rather large with a
nice ambience. It was quiet on the night they
ate there; service was prompt. The menu is
intriguing and I should mention also offers a
number of desserts, including a sampler of the
most popular Peruvian ones. Coincidentally,
the Bee;s restaurant critic reviewed La Huaca
last Sunday and wrote; “So far, our La Huaca
experiences make us think this could be one of
the surprise hits of 2013.” La Huaca’s phone
number is 771-2558.
Turning from the exotic to more
homespun eating, Don and Gail Branner
e-mailed about a restaurant with the inviting
name of Grandma’s Kitchen. They write:
“Grandma’s Kitchen is a new restaurant
in Roseville/Granite Bay on the northeast
corner of Sierra Gardens Boulevard and
Douglas (behind the Taco Bell) at 8425 Sierra
College), that we tried for lunch the other day.
It was open only two weeks. Owners Jose
Vallardares and his partner Claud Fernandez
have both worked at Thunder Valley and the
Yard House and are very hospitable talking
to diners. Gail had breakfast (served all day)
open 7 am to 3 pm and I had lunch. Their
(breakfast) Grandma’s potatoes were delicious
with their bacon and eggs. I had a bleu cheese
burger that was very flavorful, done just right.
We highly recommend it.” The web tells
us that everything at Grandma’s Kitchen is
made from scratch. The orange juice is fresh
squeezed. Muffins have fresh fruit baked into
their batter. Specials include turkey melt, an
open face turkey sandwich, chicken waffles
s buffalo chicken sandwich and sliders. The
phone number is 780-6700.

Executive Director Comments
A Flurry of Activity is Expected
BY EARL WIKLUND
Well the 2012-13 fiscal year is half way
behind us and half before us. I feel that there
lies a great flurry of activity just ahead of us on
a number of projects in the next six month that
will add greatly to the community. In the first
six months we have done a lot of preparatory
work and laid the foundation for a number of
goals and projects to be completed. These are
projects generated through the budget process
and from the Board’s annual retreat; therefore
any costs association with the project has
already been included in the current budget.
We continue to make good progress on the
completion of changes to the common areas
to maintain ADA compliance and will meet
our first year goals by the end of June. We are
currently out to bid with six general contractors
on the utility storage building and hope to start
construction in late March 2013. Also nearing
completion is the development of a new design
of the modification of the entrance to the Sierra
Pines Community building; a project that is to
be considered for our next fiscal year. We are
also finalizing the selection of a consultant to
help on the plan for the Lodge parking lot
renovation project to be completed over the
next 2 to 3 years.
Efforts to upgrade the Timbers restaurant
by installing new carpet, chairs and table tops
(as well as various cosmetic painting, wood
staining and wall covering installation) has
been bogged down while we try to confirm
selection of chairs during the Holiday season
but will soon spring forward to completion.
Maintenance continues to work with the
Properties Committee on a variety of energy
and utilities savings; such as converting to
LED lighting. We have already completed the
installation of new handicap parking spaces,
new landscaping behind the tennis courts, crack
repair and resurfacing of the sports courts and
the upgrade of our WiFi at the Lodge complex.
Ongoing efforts also continue on various
maintenance projects for our common area
facilities and grounds; to keep our community
at a high quality condition for our resident’s
and their guest’s enjoyment.
The financial strength and current year
to date operating results of the community
continues at a very strong pace. The uptick
in the general economy has resulted in a
resurgence of sales in both Golf and Food
and Beverage; with the Food and Beverage
department enjoying a second year of better
than budgeted results. We continue marketing
efforts in a number of venues and will soon
begin a modest marketing effort for Sun City
Roseville as a great place to live; but then you
already knew that. Enjoy your community
when you are out and about in the Community.
Please let me know of any suggestions you
might have of ways to keep our community ‘the
Premier active adult community in Northern
California’.

Compliance Committee
BY NANCY TENDY
Happy New Year! Now that the holidays
are over, it is time to get all the outside holiday
decorations packed up for another year.
While you are at it, take time to see if you are
in compliance with what may, or may not be
acceptable decorative displays in your front
(and back yards if you have a golf course or
open space lot) as well as your private space.
Please note that our committee will
be canvassing the community this month
specifically looking for “yard art” and
decorative items that do not meet the criteria
as noted in the SCR Design Guide lines. Please
read the following DG sections so you will be
familiar with Association requirements.
Design Guidelines (DG) section 3.01 (h)
(i) defines “private space” as (A) courtyards
not readily visible from neighboring property,
covered entrance ways and front yard patios
which constitute part of the Base House; (B)
rear yards on enclosed lots; (C) private space
in the rear yard of Open Space Lots is defined
as the patios which constitute part of the Base
House and the Hardscape configuration under
an approved covered area; (D) private space
specifically excludes other areas
Under structure eaves (i.e. roof overhang)
DG section 3.01 (h)(ii) specifies what
items may be placed in private space without
ARC approval: (A) one decoration per door
and one name sign; (B) one set of wind chimes
(see section 8.06 (b)(ii) for restrictions)(C)
artificial or natural flowers and decorative
pots not to exceed 4 feet in height; (D) in
(cont’ on page 7)
Compliance Committee
enclosed rear yards, decorative items such
as art sculptures/yard decorations which are
lower than the bottom of the lattice work of
the fence and trellises which are 4 feet high or
less; (E) in open space rear yards, decorative
items such as art sculptures/yard decorations
which are 4 feet (from natural grade) or less;
(F) holiday decorations (see 3.04 (i); (G) wallmounted planters; (H) up to two planters may
be hung in private space of the front and back
of the house or sun shade structure. Planters
may not be hung from the eaves; (I) decorative
items less than 4 feet in height.
DG section 3.01 (h) (iii) lists items that
must first have ARC approval before placement
in private space. These include; (A) permanent
installation of animal/bird invasion protection
devices that are not of a neutral color, do
not blend with the house and are visible
from neighboring property; (B) awnings; (C)
pools, spas and ponds; (D) gazebos, separate
structures, shade structures and sun room/
screened enclosures; (E) storage structures;
(F) in enclosed rear yards; decorative items
which are visible from neighboring property;
(G) decorative items which are more than 4
feet tall.
Golf course and Park Preserve lots have
additional rear yard requirements that may be
found in DG section 3.01 (i).
These guidelines help to maintain the
beauty that makes Sun City Roseville such a
wonderful community in which to live.
Seniors Need to Know!
BY IRWIN A. HERMAN, MD
A relatively new concept in health care
delivery systems has been making its way
through the medical community over the past
several years and may, in time, become the
future of medicine. This concept is currently
known as the Patient Centered Medical Home
(PCMH), an idea first conceptualized primarily
by family practitioners and pediatricians and
being promoted by the American Academy of
Family Practice (AAFP).
This concept of the PCMH is being
actively studied by various research groups as
well as by the federal government and many of
the other medical specialty communities as a
way to provide cost effective quality medical
care in a culturally comfortable environment.
The “Home” as it is pictured here is not a
specific site or structure but refers to our own
defined space that we occupy at any given time,
be it our own home, a community development
or in a shared facility such as living with a
parent or a child.
The Medical Home is also undergoing
evaluation of a number of different models
designed to see which method will integrate
and transition more readily into our current
health care delivery system with the least
interruption in doctor patient relationships
and in the most cost effective way. So, what
exactly is this concept and how will it affect us?
As envisioned and defined by the AAFP,
its principle is providing primary patient
responsibility from the first contact through
continuous and comprehensive care to end
of life issues. This entails the use of a team
approach under the guidance of a primary
care giver, for instance a family practitioner or
internist and incorporates, among others, nurse
practitioners (NP), gerontologists, medical
specialists, hospitals, hospice providers as well
as the usual office staff who are often the first
contact and who can set the tone of the given
practice. In essence, the primary care giver
is the quarterback leading all the others in a
coordinated approach to providing the best
quality care available for the betterment of
the patient, namely you.
This approach includes expanded access
often described as 24/7 care, with open
scheduling, an increase in available office
hours, increased communication using all
available methods and increased quality and
safety through the availability of modern
information technology (IT). And all at a
reduced cost to the health care system and
payers.
How is this all possible at a reduced
cost? It has been shown that by using the
“high touch” method of providing care, that is
personal contact with a team member, there is
a greater degree of monitoring and preventive
care which in turn has led to a decrease in
high cost care such as emergency room visits
and in-hospital admissions and care. Along
with providing early care and treatment for
a given condition, let’s consider pneumonia
for instance, this approach may avoid more
costly treatments later on and lead to increased
patient satisfaction as well. So it becomes a
win-win situation for all involved.
7
Of course, there are other considerations
that must be resolved as well, two of which
are the decreased number of primary care
providers and the lower reimbursement rates
that these providers have to deal with. As
regards to the first problem, recent data of
medical residency training programs shows
an increase in the number of applicants for
primary care residencies among medical school
graduates, and the second problem can be
resolved by showing evidence of decreasing
high care cost centers (ER and hospitals)
so that there can be a shift of resources to
provide more compensation to the primary
care providers commensurate to their value in
the health care system. A goal long overdue.
Hard to say when this will become
mainstream, but you can probably bet that it’s
in the future, so keep your eyes and ears open
for PCMH and you may find that wherever you
are has just become a real “Medical Home.”

Architectural Review
Committee
BY DIANE DOOLEY
Happy New Year! This is often a time to
consider improving the way things will be done
in the coming year. So the ARC is presenting
two new projects that we have been working
on for many months. First we have added
some new forms to help homeowners with
the ARC application process. Sometimes
homeowners are not aware of the specific
requirements that are dictated by the Design
Guidelines for their project. If certain details
are not included in your application it may
result in your application being denied until
the necessary information is included. To avoid
this, we have developed a number of ARC
Checklists for common ARC applications to
insure that “all the bases are covered.”
These ARC Checklists are now a required
part of an application for the following projects:
• Fence and/or Gates
• Fountains, Waterfalls, other Water
Features
• Hardscape (walkways, driveways,
patios, etc)
• Bark, Rock and Inert Ground Covers
• Landscape Plants & Trees
• Pots and Planters
• Sun Rooms & Screened Enclosures
• Sunshade Patio Covers
• Trash Enclosures
• Yard Decorations
Each ARC Checklist is customized for
a specific type of project and lists the items
that the ARC must consider when reviewing
the application. Just go down the list and
place a check mark by each requirement that
your project will be satisfying. Then sign the
checklist and attach it to your application.
Since it is the homeowner’s responsibility
(not the contractor’s) to ensure that the
Design Guidelines are adhered to and that
the project follows what was approved on the
ARC application, it may be helpful to also
give your contractor a copy of the Checklist.
As has always been the case, Design
Guidelines section 2.03(a) states that two
copies of the application must be submitted to
the Administration Office by 4:00PM on the
Friday before the ARC meeting (usually the
first Wednesday of the month). House or fence
painting only requires the Paint Application
(Appendix E) and installation of a satellite dish
only requires the Appendix C form. All other
projects require the application (Appendix
A for general projects or Appendix A-2 for
Decorative Features), any applicable ARC
Checklists, a Plot Plan, and any blueprints or
landscape diagrams. Photos of the “before”
or examples of the proposed items can be
extremely helpful. You may also need a Good
Neighbor Notification or a Shared Property
Line Agreement for certain projects. Upon
approval, one copy of the application is
returned to you. Please keep this for your
records.
All of these forms as well as assistance
in choosing the correct forms are available at
the Administration Office. Lorri Booth (7743869) and Ryan O’Connell (774-3863) from
the Community Standards Office can answer
any additional questions. The ARC appreciates
your help in submitting a complete application
so that it can be approved in a timely manner
and not delay your project.
Our second project nearing completion is
new house paint colors. We now have a wide
variety of pre-approved color schemes that are
designed to compliment your roof and stone/
brick color and provide a consistent yet still
varied look to our community. Before we send
the new colors to the Board of Directors for
approval, we invite you to view the new color
schemes and provide input at a meeting on
January 10th at 1:30 in the Card Room. There
will be a short presentation after which you
may browse through binders displaying the
new colors.
Ambassador Committee
BY SALLY GRAHAM
Hello 2013. Have you made those New
Year’s resolutions? Those resolutions may
be broken with the passing of time, but there
is something refreshing and exciting about
resolving to make positive changes at the
beginning of a brand new year.
Your Ambassadors’ New Year’s resolution
is to encourage the use of Sun City Roseville’s
public facilities by residents of the surrounding
areas and attract new residents by promoting
a positive image of a healthy, vibrant lifestyle
for those 55 and better. That is a New Years
resolution we will never break.
The Timber Creek Ballroom was
the setting for the Roseville Chamber of
Commerce mixer and networking event last
November 28. This gathering occurred on the
very same day as Sun City Roseville’s Seasonal
Spectacular. Seeing our residents enjoy the
food, music, and good times at the Seasonal
Spectacular, it is no wonder so many of the
working folks say they want what we have!
4FSWJDFt4BMFT
Requests for resident community tours
continue to come in from the SCR external
website. As Ambassadors show prospective
neighbors around our facilities, we are
reminded of our own enthusiasm we felt when
visiting SCR for the first time. Even though our
community will be celebrating its 20th birthday
soon, we still look new and young thanks to
ongoing updates and remodeling efforts.
Tour guests always comment on the beautiful
landscaping and buildings here in SCR.
Visitors staying at local Roseville
hotels will be able to put SCR’s golf courses
and restaurant on their itinerary thanks to
Ambassadors Jack Chittick and Susan Glover.
Brochures and other advertising materials
about our community are now available in
twelve hotels.
The Ambassador Committee meets the
third Wednesday of each month. The next
meeting will be January 16 at 2:00 PM in the
Aspen Room. All residents are welcome to
attend.

What To Do With All That Stuff — The
holidays are over, the visiting relatives have
returned home, the decorations are being
stowed away, but now we have to decide what
to do with all the new stuff we were gifted.
Some of the new stuff might be duplicates
of old stuff we already own. What to do with
the old stuff? Maybe storage space is limited,
or the children wouldn’t want it, or you don’t
need duplicates. The Resident Website www.
suncityresident.com offers a possible solution
with the Classified Ads feature.
Post an ad for the old stuff, which very
well could be new stuff to somebody else. The
Classified Ad feature can be accessed from
the large graphic button at the bottom of the
Home Page or from the sub-menu under “Sun
City” on the top menu bar.
The instructions to post a website
Classified Ad are easy to follow. When you post
a Classified Ad, it defaults to showing only on
the private Resident Website, which requires
a viewer to be logged in as a resident. If you
would like to have your ad posted for public
view, you need to check the ‘On Public Site’
box, which does not require a viewer to log in.
You can have both public and private views
checked. At the bottom of the instructions
screen is information on how to have your
ad displayed on the Lodge Bulletin Board
9
in addition to having it listed on the website.
Now, there is always the chance that no
one will want to purchase the old stuff you
advertised. In that case, you can be a Good
Samaritan and donate your old stuff to a
worthy charity.
Now that you have become familiar with
the Classified Ad feature, from time to time
you may want to look at what other residents
have posted. You may find somebody’s old
stuff that could very well be new stuff to you.
City Of Roseville Meeting Videos — Many
of us who moved here from other areas found
the City of Roseville to be a very proactive,
forward-planning, family focused municipality.
As City residents we should be interested in
the City’s projects and processes and how they
may affect our life style.
Just like the Association is videotaping
the monthly SCR Board of Directors meetings
to allow a resident to keep informed on our
community’s activity, the City of Roseville is
doing likewise.
The videos of City Council, Planning
Commission, and Public Utilities Commission
meetings, as well the annual State of the City
Address, are available for viewing from a link on
our Resident Website www.suncityresident.com.
On the Home Page menu bar access
“Resources”, then “City/County” and finally
“City of Roseville.” On the City’s web page
in the “Most Visited” column at the left side,
click on “Video Center.” A list of the City’s
videos will be displayed. Find the particular
one you would like to view and click on the
word “Video” at the right side of that listing.
Be patient, as it may take a while for the
video to load for viewing on your computer
depending on the speed of your Internet
connection. The videos are indexed which means
you can click on any part of the agenda listed
below the video viewer, to jump to that section.
The Classified Ads and the City videos
are just two of the many features our Resident
Website provides for you. Explore, Stay

We begin 2013 on a high note (no
pun intended). Looking back, we had two
very successful dinner-shows in 2012 with a
complete sell-out for both events. Looking
forward, our next big event will be April 12,
2013. Be sure to mark your calendars now.
Our club has grown since its inception
last March, and we invite everyone to join
us as we play and sing our favorite songs. We
meet every Thursday in the Ponderosa Room
at Sierra Pines from 9-11 AM.
This month we feature Ted Ball. Ted was
born in Chickasha, OK, in 1927. Ted and his
wife, Justine, have two daughters and one son.
They recently celebrated their 61st wedding
anniversary last December! Ted served in
the Navy which gave him the opportunity
to obtain a bachelor’s degree at Chico State
College. He went on to obtain an MS degree
at USC in Education and an MA at Cal State
LA in Economics and Business. Ted taught at
Pasadena and Ventura High School and Los
Rios Community College. He and his wife went
to Malaysia to teach in 1990. Ted and his son,
Steve, also taught English in China in 2001.
Ted’s musical career started with a $5
guitar in 1940. He wanted to play like Gene
Autry, but soon learned he needed to take
lessons. Ted likes to find obscure songs that
nobody has ever heard of in order to surprise
us. He is the king of the novelty song. Most have
so many verses he has a hard time remembering
them all. Ted also plays the Harmonica and 5
String Banjo.
BY BUD GARDNER
As usual the Coots were very active during
the holiday season last December. The Coots’
main group performed eight Caroling gigs for
Sun City Roseville, beginning near the fireplace
in the Timbers Lobby, swinging through the
restaurant, then Caroling for shut-ins and
neighborhood gatherings. Over the years, the
Coots have played more than 108 Caroling gigs
for Sun City residents.
The Coots’ Ensemble, however, was
much busier. On December 7, the Coots’
were honored to play a couple of songs for
the Sun City Veterans’ Club Pearl Harbor
Day Celebration. On Wednesday, December
12, they traveled to the Dante Club and
performed for the Sons in Retirement (SIRs)
holiday luncheon. Then, to reenergize for
the coming year, the Coots’ group enjoyed a
three-week break.
The Coots will start 2013 off with a bang.
On Thursday, January 3, they will eagerly
hold their first regular meeting, along with an
Ensemble Rehearsal. On Friday, January 4, the
Ensemble will make history: They will perform
their 20th gig at St. John’s Retirement Village
in Woodland. In addition, on Wed., January 9,
the Ensemble will play for Temple OR Rishon
in Orangevale, and on Saturday, January 12,
they venture to Citrus Heights, CA, to play
for the Sierra Meadows Mobile Home Park
residents. The Ensemble has racked up more
than 300 gigs in the surrounding community
in just eight and a half years.
As we embark on a New Year, the Coots
are excited about learning new songs for their
9th Jamboree, enjoying deep friendships, and
creating beautiful music. We encourage any
resident to drop by the Ponderosa room any
Thursday to feel the Coots’ energy and to
hear memorable music--maybe even to join
us. We welcome you with open arms. We have
harmonicas, song books, and basic instruction
waiting for you. You’ll love breathing music
into your life.

Music and Laughter
BY JANE BOHN
We are looking forward to seeing all your
smiles once again in this New Year of 2013. Now
that the holidays are past, we’ll be thinking of
new songs to sing and seeking out new ways to
entertain you. Of course, we love your input,
so if you have a favorite ditty you’d like us to
play or sing, be sure to let us know. We’ll have
an extra sign up sheet ready at the entrance.
We hope you won’t forget to mark your
calendars and pass the word to come join us

do. Talk about lifting our Spirits...now that’s
how we plan to get us all off to a great start in
this wonderful New Year.

BY JACKIE PROETT
It’s January and the slate is wiped clean!
A brand new calendar stretches out before us.
We can fill it in with confidence by reviewing the
past. The nicest thing to review is our Christmas
Concert. Old songs sounded better than ever
before. New songs were touched with care. A
special presence filled the room. Could it be
Attitude? Yuletide Cheer? Whatever it was,
let’s put that on every page of our new calendar!
All December events were special! The
thrill of singing in the Capitol Rotunda is always
exciting. It is like no other venue because not
only is the room round, but few people are
sitting, most are moving around and the sound
swirls to the heights. WOW!
Sharing love and Christmas Carols at
Vintage Oaks is always a treat. They love us
and the joy is mutual! Every year it is a special
gift for both giver and receiver!
Poinsettia Four, our Christmas Party was
a huge success. Thanks, Georgia, for putting it
together and thanks to all of you who so eagerly
attended! Food was great, the company divine.
Gee! Everybody sure cleans up well! Gorgeous
is the word! That goes for men too!
Mark January 10th as our first rehearsal
of the New Year. Time: 2:30pm, Place: Back
of the Ballroom. Bring friends and neighbors
and if they’re men, plan to nail their shoes to
the ground! We’ve got a good thing going, let’s
just try to build our ranks!
When we open the door on Thursday the
10th.will we find new music, a theme---what
will we learn about the future? Come find out.
Help fill in our new Calendar and by the way
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Heartland Club
BY RAYANN GOLDA
The Heartland Club has a very special
event for its members on Saturday, January
26, 2013 at 6 PM at Sierra Pines. “A Warm
Winter’s Evening” will be the theme served up
by your Heartland Board. You will not need to
bring a dish as it is NOT a potluck. This time
dinner will be followed by “Sister Swing,” a
girl trio (minus their big band) who will offer
medleys from the late 40s and 50s. This will
be an evening not to be missed.
The prepaid tickets for this event will be
$10 per person that will include chili, salad,
corn bread and dessert dinner as well as the
entertainment. Due to demand for this event
we will be limiting the prepaid tickets to the first
100 members. Your tickets can be purchased
from Treasurer, Joe Golda, (772-2928) 4144
Enchanted Circle.
A little history about the Heartland Club:
At first it was for residents who came from
Oklahoma and surrounding areas
(otherwise known as “okies”). It became
apparent a revision in the membership
prerequisite was necessary as many guests
were asking to join because of their friendship
with “okies.
Note! You do not have to be an Okie to
be a member of the Heartland Club. If you
are a resident of Sun City you qualify to have
fun with us four times a year in January – April
– July – October.
Membership dues are $3 per person per
year (July-July)
Happy New Year to You All!

SCR Singles
BY BECCI ANGELL
If your New Year’s Eve celebration
included a few pink elephants – and the pesky
pachyderms are still hanging around – the
Singles Club can help you with the problem.
Unload them – and any other unwelcome
gifts you received over the holidays – on your
unsuspecting friends at the club’s annual White
Elephant potluck on Jan. 19.
Bring a main dish, salad or dessert –
along with your wrapped item – or pay $8 at
the door (guests pay $10) if you prefer not to
cook for this Saturday Night Social. (BYOB –
no hard liquor.) The party begins at 6 p.m. at
Sierra Pines. Reservations deadline is noon,
Thursday, Jan. 17, or you may sign up at the
Jan. 2 membership meeting. Information:
Stella Maynard, 772-0108, or Callie Dawkins,
474-5992.
Once you’ve freed yourself of unwanted
gifts (and lingering pink elephants), you may
want to attend Dinner on the Town on Monday,
Jan. 28, at China Villa. For $16 per person, the
meal will include wonton soup, fried rice, chow
mein, broccoli beef, walnut prawns, orange
chicken, sweet & sour pork, one glass of wine
or a soft drink. Since the restaurant, located
at 6819 Lonetree Blvd., Rocklin, doesn’t have
a bar, please don’t arrive before 5:30 for the
6 p.m. dinner. To make your reservation, call
Marina Tan, 772-7913, or Melissa Gatenby,
772-1846, by 1 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 24.
The club’s first cultural outing of 2013 will
be a trip to the Crocker Museum on Sunday,
Jan. 13, to view the art of Norman Rockwell
and attend the world premier of “Big Dreams,
Small Shoulders,” an all-media performance
piece based on Rockwell’s painting, “The
Problem We All Live With.” Cost, including
entry to the museum, the concert and
transportation, will be $26 for Singles who are
not members of the Crocker Museum and $12
for those who are. Carpool vehicles will depart
SCR at 1 p.m. Because this will be a sold-out
production, reservations and full payment must
13
be made at the Jan. 2 club meeting. For more
information, contact Joyce Wade, 771-5174.
We play bingo from 2-4 p.m. every second
and fourth Sunday in the Lodge Card Room.
Everyone is welcome. Groups are formed
from the membership to play Bridge, Canasta,
Hand and Foot and Mexican Train dominoes.
(Playing instruction given when needed.) We
are always looking to increase the number of
groups in any given game category as members
show interest.
Anyone living single in Sun City Roseville
is eligible to join the club, which offers fun and
interesting things for single people to do with
others. More information is available on the
website or at the general meeting Wednesday,
Jan. 2, where the first speaker of the new year
will be Larry Smith. His topic will be the U.S.
Army academy at West Point, it history and
operations. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in
the ballroom.

Sunday, January 6, 1PM, in the cardroom
at the lodge a special event will be presented.
To begin the afternoon, Ed Speegle, retired
attorney from Sacramento, who has done an
exhaustive study of the founding of our nation
and led a fall semester seminar through the
Renaissance Society at Sac State, will share
his expertise with us. He will be illuminating
the important debates that led to the 1st
amendment to the Constitution and its
reference to religion. (Congress will make no
law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof).
Following Speegle, a singing group called
the Mockingbirds will entertain. The group
consists of four to six singers and is led by
Andrea Griffith. They will sing “A Tribute to
Darwin” and “This is my Story” (a song about
our evolution) . Most of the singers are from
the Sacramento area. Andrea is originally
from San Jose and has studied music at SJSU
and in Italy. Since Ed will be speaking about
the first amendment, she may also write a little
song about that.

SCR Postage Stamp Group
BY DICK REINGOLD
Some countries are still striving to bring
stamp collector’s attention to their stamps by
using various methods such as different shapes,
different sizes and different colors from the
norm. Now comes a country, Finland, who has
put out a souvenir sheet containing a stamp
within a stamp. It does sound rather odd, and it
will surely get the attention of stamp collectors.
The sheet was issued to commemorate
the Struve Geodetic Arc. What is the
Struve Geodetic Arc? It is a chain of survey
triangulations to determine the size and shape
of the earth. Although it was used clear back
from 1816 up to the advent of sattelites for the
measurements, it was surprisingly accurate.
The souvenir sheet contains a round
stamp, and within that round stamp is another
stamp in the shape of Finland.
On the Finnish stamp, which is blue in
color, are 6 orange dots that represent the
spots in Finland where the triangulation
points are located. There are 265 station
points stretching across 10 countries, including
Finland. The other 9 are Belarus, Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Norway, Russia,
Sweden and Ukraine. The first point of the arc
is in Estonia, at the Tartu Obsevatory.
When the map of Finland shaped stamp
is removed from the surrounding circular
stamp, it leaves a blank space shaped like
Finland where that stamp was located. The
circular stamp shows a portion of a color
photograph of a lake that covers all the rest
of the souvenir sheet.
The Stamp Group meets on the 2nd and
4th Thursdays of the month in Sierra Pines
at 6:30 PM. If you are interested in saving
stamps, you will enjoy attending our meetings.

There will be no January Meeting. First
Republican Club Meeting of 2013 will be held
on Monday, February 11th at the Timbers
Ballroom – 6:45 p.m. Our Speaker will be
announced shortly.
We expect to have outstanding programs
with excellent speakers throughout the year
and our annual dues only $10 per member,
an excellent bargain. Don’t forget to send in
your dues payment c/o Sun City Republicans
6329 Buckskin Lane, Roseville, CA 95747.
To recap our December event, we
enjoyed a well-attended Christmas Brunch
at the Timbers Ballroom on December 10th.
Members deserve congratulations on their
large participation in the Toys for Troops
Kids Toy Drive. These beautiful toys were
then transported to The Fountains where
Beale AFB airmen collected and ensured safe
Christmas delivery to children of those serving
in the military.

The RV Club welcomed the Holiday
Season at their “Snowflake Fiesta” on
December 4th in the Ballroom. We feasted on
a sumptuous buffet provided by our wonderful
Catering Staff, danced the night away to
the great music provided by Jeanie and Jim
Keener, and wished one another all the best
in the coming year. A big THANK YOU to
the great team that handled all the planning
for this successful event.
And with the New Year, comes a new
2013 calendar! Our first club trip will be
March 5-11 as we head off to Buellton and the
Flying Flags Resort. Wagonmasters John and
Virginia Edlund will lead us on this journey.
This is a fun area with the charming Danish
town of Solvang nearby. The Edlunds have
lots of ideas for all activity levels.
And the following month, April 15-19, we
will welcome spring at the centrally located
Paso Robles Ranch with a club room in which
to gather. This is a beautiful area, too, with
lots to see and do, regardless of the weather,
and Wagonmasters Barb Woolman and Bob
Hamacher have a lot of ideas ~ something
for everyone!
You will want to be sure to be at the next
meeting on January 10th at 10:00 at Sierra
Pines to hear about all the plans for the
coming months. Sharon Mowry, our Activities
Director, will be our guest speaker and there
will also be a special surprise for attendees. Be
sure to bring your calendars and check books
so you don’t miss out!!! We wish a Happy
New Year to all.

that the failures of intelligence and military
preparedness should not happen again.
Our Holiday Dinner Dance was a HUGE
success, and a sell out as usual, everyone
enjoyed the meal, libations, and of course the
excellent music by our own resident orchestra
the New Tones. A fine party according to
all who commented on it to me. And, we
also installed our newly elected officers for
2013, President; Ray Ille: Vice President;
Bob Schuermann: Treasurer; Ted Parker: and
Secretary; Harvey Schmidt.
Thanks again to all of our members, none
of the activities and events would be possible
without your help and participation. We do
have a need for more of the regular members to
get involved with your club in helping the staff
and members of the council in the planning,
promoting, and volunteering to help.

Rods & Relics Car Club
BY ELNA RAGAN
Because December is a very busy month
for families traveling and visiting for the
holidays, our Club did not hold a General
Business Meeting. Instead we held our
annual Christmas Party at Turkey Creek and
contributed to the Marine’s Toys for Tots Drive.
We celebrated a very successful year of Club
growth and were able to donate $12,000 to
local charities from our June Car Show. We
give thanks to the many sponsors, the vendors,
the participants who share our love for classic
vehicles, and the many Car Clubs that support
our efforts.
The Romans named January in honor of
Janus, the god of beginnings and transitions.
He was a two-headed god who looked not
only to the past but to the future. Our Car
Club members are doing the same: not only
15
assessing this year’s Car Show but already
planning and looking forward to the “Show
and Shine Show” at Thunder Valley on May
31 and our Downtown Lincoln Car Show on
June 1. Be sure to mark your calendars!
Upcoming Events:
January 1, 15, & 29: We meet to have
breakfast at the Waffle Farm, Twelve Bridges
Shopping Center. For the best seats you need
to arrive before 8:00 a.m.
January 17: Our General Business
Meeting is the third Thursday of each month

SCR Birders
Trails Club
BY JANET MORELLI
The first scheduled bird walk in 2013
will be on Thursday, January 3, 2013. Our
destination will be Ferrari Ponds at the north
end of Sun City Lincoln Hills. The last time we
visited this site, we saw Long-billed Dowitchers,
White-tailed Kites, Cormorants, Barn Owls,
Pied-billed Grebes, and Sharp-shinned Hawks,
among many other birds. All SCR residents
are invited to participate. We will meet in the
lobby of the Timbers Lodge to carpool to the
pond at 8:45 AM. Bring a pair of binoculars
and a couple dollars for the carpool driver. If
the trip is cancelled due to wet weather, the bird
walk will be rescheduled to the third Thursday
of the month, January 17, 2013.
On February 7, 2013 we plan to drive to
Gray Lodge Waterfowl Management Area
northwest of the town of Live Oak. We will
meet in the Timbers lobby to leave in carpools
at 8:45 AM. If the weather reports that morning
indicate that the visibility at Gray Lodge is
impaired due to dense fog and the weather
is clear in Roseville, we will go to Miner’s
Ravine in Roseville instead. If the weather
is not conducive to bird watching in either
area, we will reschedule the Gray Lodge trip
to February 21, 2013, the third Thursday of
the month. Bring a pair of binoculars, dress
warmly, and bring some dollars for your carpool
driver. All SCR residents are welcome to take
part in this walk.

SCR Table Tennis
BY KAREN YEATES
A big thank you goes to Mercedes Pack
for putting together a wonderful Christmas
party last month. The food was great, as was
the entertainment and I think we all had a lot
of fun learning to play Farkle. It was nice to
see so many of our members in attendance.
December saw less than our usual playing
time due to all the parties and events being
held at Sierra Pines during the holiday season.
However, January is here and we are back
to the old routine – Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 2 PM to 5 PM and Saturdays 9:30 AM
until Noon. But still keep an eye out for any
Table Tennis e-mails alerting you to unplanned
changes in that schedule.
Make sure to check out this month’s
Courier as Table Tennis will be the feature
article in the January edition. Also, check out
the display case in the Fitness Center where
Table Tennis will have a display for the next
couple of months. To take advantage of all
this special attention we are getting, we will
have an Open House on Saturday, February
2, 2013, from 9:30 AM until Noon for anyone
who wants to come over to Sierra Pines and see
what we are about or try their hand at playing.
Light refreshments will also be available. So
please plan on being there.

The Holiday Party was a huge success
including the in house entertainment. Thanks
to Linda Gordon and her great crew.
Though the years, the Tennis Club has
been blessed with many talented people. Is
that why Woodcreek High School turned to
us for a tennis coach?

Our Big Friday rides were fun and well
attended. Our Kaffe Klatches and parties were
outstanding. Our outside rides, such as the
Tours de Lincoln and Rocklin, Giro de Vino,
and Party Pardee were a lot of fun. Wendy,
Gail, Curt, and Dori did the Amtrak Century
ride in Southern California. Wendy also biked
across the Continental Divide in Colorado.
On the sad side, 2012 is the last year for
Dave Axthelm’s San Francisco ride due to
changes in the ferry schedule. A couple of our
riders incurred serious injuries which made the
rest of us ride more carefully. Jake, who was

SCR Writer — Hoarding Memories
BY FRANK HOPKINS
The dictionary describes hoarding as
“storing amounts beyond one’s reasonable
present or future needs”. I had my first
childhood encounter with hoarding when I
was only seven, back in 1950. The Korean War
had just broken out and the next Saturday
morning, my mother’s sister showed up at our
door carrying several five-pound bags of sugar.
Standing by my mother I was bewildered. Were
they going to bake cookies? In tones of nervous
concern my Aunt excitedly warned my mother
to ‘store these for the shortage.’
At seven, I was much too young to know
that during ‘The Great War’ that had ended just
a few years before, there were sugar shortages.
But I did grasp the concept that you stored
things for times when there probably wouldn’t
be enough to go around. In those days there
were no frozen foods, imported food from
sunnier climes during the long, bleak, snowy
New England winters. So lining your pantry
with cans of fruits and vegetables was a kind
of hoarding that made sense to my little mind.
But I really didn’t grasp the difference between
storing and hoarding until many years later.
And I certainly didn’t understand the syndrome
of ‘senior hoarding’ until I became one.
I grew to adulthood during a time

Happy New Year Billiard Club members!!!
Our club member who is being honored
this month is Marie Levens. She has been a

member since July of 2004. In October of
that year she was recruited to take the place
of the then ill treasurer. She held the office
of treasurer until July of 2011 when she was
elected to become president. That makes 8
years of membership and 8 years of official
duty for our club. Can anyone of us beat that
for dedication? Levens is now, once again, the
treasurer for the 2012/13-year where she “feels
comfortable”. She and her husband moved
to Roseville from Twain Harte in 2004 and she
feels it was one of the best moves of her life.
The Billiards Club is very grateful for your
dedication and the amount of time you give
to keep us on track financially, politically and
structurally. Thanks Marie.
Billiards Club has grown again. We
have two new members for a total now of 86
members. Welcome new members!
The men have been enjoying open play
on Tuesday evenings. If you have that evening
open and would like to join in, they welcome
members. They gather between 6:30 and 7:00
pm. Great fun and competition.
Winners of tournaments are: Men’s 9 Ball

SCR Bridge Club
BY JEAN JONES
Does anyone make New Year’s Resolutions
any more? The dictionary defines a resolution
as a resolve or determination. I hope if you
made a resolution that you will be determined
to resolve it. Good Luck!
This article is about bridge so maybe your
resolution was to play better bridge.
Congratulations to Gary Deatherage,
duplicate player, who just became a Silver
Life Master.
Many of our duplicate players attended
the Nationals in San Francisco in November
and did very well. Lois Holbert, Dona
Louzader, Ken Beer, Marion Stephens, Joan
Oakley and Dawn Beck came home winners.
Congratulations to all!
Get your 2013 calendars ready to mark the
dates of some upcoming regionals. Monterey
Clam Bake in Monterey is beginning on
January 7, 2013 and continuing all week. The
regional that was normally held in Santa Clara
will be in Sacramento beginning on February
12 to the 18th. Sacramento has always hosted
Memorial Day weekend regional and will again
this year. Flyers will be available on these and
other tournaments this month.
Thought this a good time to mention two
of our players who had a top game in Folsom
recently. Mary Ann Borden and Ann Swaim
had a 61% game and came in 1st overall.
Good Job!
We have some players from social bridge
who are now members of our duplicate club.
Suzanne Rollinson and Joan Donlon have
been scoring consistently well in all of their
games. They are products of Willi’s class and
were well taught and learned well. Good Job!
The word for the month is obvious…it is

Mah Jongg Club
BY CAROL BACIGALUPI
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our Mah
Jongg players past, present and future! The
holidays have flown by and now it’s time to
start the official dieting season once again.
Our yummy December luncheon was fun and
of course added to the calorie count but no one
was counting then! Now it’s time to check in
the card room during regular play to get the
details of our Valentine luncheon on February 8
at the Pines; we always have a good time eating,
playing and of course talking. We sure would
love to see all our members joining in the fun!
It’s hard to believe it’s time to order our
new cards for 2013. In fact the order is due
right now so please get your check to Sidnee
McKinney made out to SCRMJC immediately,
$7 for the regular size and $8 for large. Just
when we have our current card down pat it’s
time to start over learning new hands. Can
you think of any other game where the play
changes every year? This is one of the reasons
Mah Jongg is so challenging and good for our
brains, another reason to join our fun group.
If you’re interested in learning to play,
please call Lana Smiley at 782-2922 to get on
the waiting list for a class. Classes are on Friday
mornings in the card room and all are welcome
but must be scheduled in advance. Besides
using your brain power you’ll meet many nice
men and women... yes, men! Several joined us
last year and are having fun and spreading the
word about this exciting ancient game.
As we begin another new year, we wish
happiness and good health to all of you. Hope
to see you in the card room soon!

All Sun City residents are invited to join
the Cribbage Group and play each Friday from

first Friday of the month, will give you a chance
to win bragging rights (and the dollars) for the

to win the last high hand of the day. (We’re

when real shortages were few, brief and
usually involved things that were relatively
inconsequential to our quality of life. If there
were any major shortages, somehow I missed
them. I don’t recall people routinely hoarding
anything.
Then came the beef shortage. It’s hard
to hoard beef, so folks just made do and
waited it out. Then came the first gasoline
shortage and would-be hoarders had to be
endlessly reminded that a gallon of gasoline,
improperly stored, had the explosive power of
seven sticks of dynamite. Still, a few addictive
hoarders were found with, literally, a bathtub
full of gasoline. And, these days, we seem to
be perpetually on the edge when it comes to
gasoline supplies because we’re so dependent
on unreliable refineries. But at least we’re not
hoarding it yet.
Of course, now that I’m a senior, I can
better understand why my aged mother became
such a hoarder. She had cabinets, pantries,
closets and much of the garage filled with
things like canned vegetables, dust covered
cases of soft drinks, and enough bathroom
tissue to meet the needs of a small village.
Meanwhile, my father hoarded piles of books
and tired old LP records in tattered paper
jackets. It seemed so foolish to me then. But
now I understand why.
Beyond the fear of running out of food
and being hungry, they also were starting
to fear intellectual starvation. They found
that less and less did they see or hear their
favorite performers on TV or Radio because
HAPPY
NEW YEAR
those folks had retired into obscurity or died.
Broadcasters had written off seniors as ‘largely
irrelevant’ when it came to their programming.
So my parents were hoarding beloved pieces
of their past in the form of books, LP Records
and videotapes of old movies like some sort of
personal museum enshrining their fast-fading
generation.
Now, here I am at 70, scavenging for
videotaped movies from my own carefree youth
at the local Flea Market and hoarding them.
Because the manufacturer has discontinued my
favorite shaving gel, I’ve got a dozen large cans
of it in a closet, good for a couple of years. And
when they announced they were discontinuing
my favorite shoe brand, I immediately bought
three new pairs.
It’s true; we do become our parents. And
like them, I, too, now see the specter of my
generation’s experiential universe as a giant
clock spring, slowly unwinding and expanding
ever outward, away from us as the center
of our universe and becoming less and less
relevant.
But, not all is lost. If I scan the cable
channels, especially during the late-night
hours, I can still find a few nuggets of nostalgia
in ‘classic’ TV shows of my generation. And I
haven’t started hoarding gasoline or food yet.
Mind you, I do have few emergency boxes of
Twinkies tucked away in my freezer. Just in
case… They’re right next to the Ding-Dongs.

More Observations on This and That
BY MARTIN GREEN
I ended last month’s post-election column
with the observation that, no matter what, our
republic will survive. Since then I’ve grown
sick of two words, “fiscal” and “cliff.” If you
watch the cable news channels, as I confess I do,
there’s been a ceaseless barrage of comments
on the fiscal cliff. From day to day, even hour
by hour, the comments vary all over the place:
we won’t go over, as even those clowns in
Washington realize this is serious and they’ll
do something, even if at the last minute; no,
they’ll never compromise and after December
31 it’ll be a disaster; the fiscal cliff, no problem,
let’s go over and nothing much will happen (if
something does we’ll blame the other guy).
Then there’s the Mayan calendar’s prediction
that the whole world will come to an end as of
December 21. I don’t think this will come to
pass as, for one thing, my birthday is December
30 and it will mess up my birthday plans. Still,
I think it’s interesting that we have the fiscal
cliff, which some people think will mean the
world ending, at the same time as the Mayan
prediction.
Aside from the fiscal cliff and the
Mayans, the new year, assuming there is
one, traditionally means looking ahead,
making resolutions, hoping that things will
be better than in the last year. One thing
that will be better is that we won’t be having
the interminable election campaign, so we’re
ahead already. As I’ve written here before,
I think it’s a good thing for us oldsters to try
something new each year; if nothing else, it
shows we’re not dead yet. In past years, in
this spirit, I’ve written a longer piece instead
of my usual short stories (which are available
on amazon.com and other sites for you tablet
owners; see how cleverly I’ve worked that in).
Last year, that longer piece turned out to be a
novelette, which will be published some time
later this year. In other years, I’ve taken up
sketching, pool, pool walking, writing essays,
and sky diving (no, just kidding; no bungyjumping either). I’m not sure yet what new
thing I’ll take up this year, although I’m sure
something will come up. One thing we’ve
done is book a cruise for next fall, showing
how optimistic we are.
The start of this year also marks the start
of our sixteenth in residence at Sun City. When
we moved in the nearest shopping (and gas
station) was on Foothills Boulevard. There was
only one stoplight on Blue Oaks between Del
Webb and the freeway. There were no other
housing developments around us. There was
no Sun City Lincoln Hills. Above all, there was
no Galleria. Yes, the changes have been pretty
remarkable and most have been for the better,
especially the many new restaurants that have
opened up around us and which have enabled
me to keep writing my “Favorite Restaurants”
column. I should mention that I’m starting my
fourteenth year of writing for the Sun Senior
News, which also seems pretty remarkable.
Every so often I remind myself of the
good things about living here in Sun City.
It’s quiet at night (no dogs barking as in our
former neighborhood). The traffic is light,
comparatively so, even though we live on
Timberrose. It doesn’t compare with the cars
that used to speed down our old street. We
have the Lodge, which is the center of our many
activities, including the pool room, where I go
several times a week. We have a fitness center,
an indoor and an outdoor pool and a restaurant.
We have tennis courts, where I used to go
several times a week, bocce ball courts, pickle
ball courts and a basketball court. Oh, yes,
there are also a couple of golf courses (knew
I’d left something out). Someone visiting us
remarked that it was just like being at a resort,
and in some ways it is.
So, in the face of the fiscal cliff and other
looming disasters (the Mideast, Egypt, Syria,
Iran and North Korea and their nukes, the
Kings leaving Sacramento), where are we
going in this new year? I’m writing this just
a few days after Pearl Harbor Day, a day
that President Roosevelt said would live in
infamy. It’s true the day was a black one for
an unprepared country, but also true that the
country pulled itself together, went to work
and prevailed in World War II. I’ve always
thought the people who really contributed to
our country, beyond the posturing politicians,
the so-called activists, the idiotic celebrities and
overpaid athletes who hog all of the headlines,
are our servicemen and women, those working
in hospitals or laboratories to cure diseases,
scientists and innovators working in places
like research institutions to garages, as well as
ordinary people like police, firemen, teachers
and the majority who go to work each day,
support their families, and help others as much
as they can. Fiscal cliff or whatever I believe
these people and their values will prevail.
Meanwhile, a happy and healthy new year to
all the readers out there.
