Long time Friends — Edith Benyo and Hanni Berglund
BY ANN WAHLENMEIER
She’s told she screamed.
It wasn’t because of danger,
nor anger. It was a scream
of joy.
Edith Benyo hung up
the phone. She could hardly
contain herself. Her best
friend, Hanni Berglund had
moved to Sun City. Hanni’s
daughter thought Edith
would like to know.
To make it even better,
Hanni bought a house on
School House Lane . . . the
very street Edith lived on.
Edith and Hanni were
just down the street from
each other! She was delighted!
Both widows, Edie moved to Sun
City Roseville in 2011 and Hanni in 2012.
Edith had been widowed twice. A
second generation Californian, she was
just out of college when she met her first
husband, Leon Hagstrom, from Sweden.
of his homes. In addition,
she taught grade school.
1954 was a big year for
Hanni, a surgical nurse in
San Francisco. Not only did
she meet Olav Berglund,
whom she would marry in
1955, she met Edith and
Leon Hagstrom who would
become lifelong friends.
Olav, a native of
Sweden, worked for Asea
Electrical Company. The
first major separation of the
friends came when he and
Hanni moved to Sweden.

s Helping Ne
Each year in late
March, Foundation volunteers mail out
letters to everybody in Sun City Roseville.
Chances are you have yours already. If
not, it will be there soon.
The letter, written and signed by the
Foundation Chairperson, is an invitation
to donate funds to the Sun City Roseville
Foundation to support our various
programs. Programs and services made
possible by such funds address the needs
of Sun City Roseville residents only.
Thus – our motto “Neighbors Helping
Neighbors.”
The letter explains what we do,
identifies some other Foundation fund
raising events, and includes a brief review
of current and ongoing programs. There
are some programs that we both operate
and fund. However, most of our programs
are ably carried out by Sunshine Services.
For those programs, the Foundation
provides funding only.
This year’s letter states that
contributions are tax-deductible, furnishes
our TAX ID, and thanks everybody in
advance for their donation. We also
write a letter or send email thanking and
acknowledging you for your donation.
Since email is a lot easier for us, and
probably you as well, please send us your
current email address. You can send
it with your donation – or – send it to
scrfoundation@gmail.com. Please know
that we do not share your email address
outside the Foundation.
The term “Friends of the Foundation”
came about several years ago as a result
of a very strong response to our initial
solicitation. It has become a major source
of Foundation income.
At the bottom of each letter there is a
form to facilitate the writing and mailing
of a check. An enclosed self-addressed
envelope is also provided. The mailing
includes our brochure that describes our
programs and services in more detail.
Even if you cannot donate funds be sure
to read the brochure and learn about our
services and those provided by Sunshine
Services.
We hasten to remind every donor that
every donation is sincerely appreciated,
regardless of the amount.

Survey- Distribution Process?
Below is a letter I sent to the Board
of Directors regarding my concerns for the
process being used for participation in the
community wide survey!
To Members of the Sun City Board of
Directors,
I respectively suggest that you, members
of the Board, rethink the methodology that will
be used to distribute and collect the community
wide survey proposed by the SPU work group.
It is commendable that this work group
is reaching out to residents /owners for input
and suggestions; this tool is an excellent way
to improve communication and take the pulse
of the community. My concern is with the
restrictive method of distributing and collecting
the surveys!
The process that was outlined to us is that
a resident has to travel to the lodge to pick up
& then return the survey back to the lodge, or
use electronic means.
I submit that this is a burden to residents
that still wish to participate, which is their
right, (as owners and residents), many for
any number of reasons are unable to have
transportation and /or medical challenges to
facilitate picking up and returning the surveys!
In my opinion, this discriminates against our
community members who have those types or
other unknown issues!
The process does not allow the residents
to mail the survey back even at their own
expense if they wish (there is no provision for
this option).
I understand that residents can use the
web site but not everyone has this access. Point
in fact, the Resident Group I am associated
with has a membership of over 200, at last
count 90 members do not have a computer!
One might wonder the motivation behind
conducting the distribution of the survey in
this proposed restrictive manner. The easier
it is made for the residents to participate, the
better the feedback!
I feel that the likelihood of getting a
substantial return, by following the proposed
procedure, is very much diminished and will
lead to inaccurate findings and lastly residents
being disenfranchised.
Ideally, the surveys should be mailed,
but in order to reduce the expense, residents
could be instructed to request that the survey
be mailed to them; in the long run this small
expense will ensure everyone has an equal
opportunity to participate.
I respectfully request that each of you,
as members of the Board of Directors, and
as concerned residents review the intended
process and direct the committee to reevaluate
the procedure and make this an opportunity
to ensure equal access for all.
P.S. The Strategic Planning update work
group reconsidered how the survey will be
distributed. You may pick up a copy, call to have
one mailed to you, respond electronically, or
ask a friend to bring you one. You may return it
personally or send it by mail. Please participate!
Your opinions are important!

Traffic Safety
While living in Sun City for the past 15
years I have had the opportunity to type out
letters to the Sun City Senior news concerning
issues I felt important to speak out about. Well,
today is one of those times. It concerns the Golf
cart crossing that sits off the Blue Oak Blvd.
entrance just by less than 100 feet plus. I had
at least two letters in the past warning people
not to stop for golf carts waiting to cross at this
golf cart crossing as cars have the right of way
and there are stop signs that the golfers have
to stop at these golf cart crossings. Traffic has
the right of way. Why people don’t realize their
courtsey is going to cause an accident I do not
understand, and yet I do. The law requires we
stop for predestine traffic and that means some
one with a golf bag starting to walk into the walk
way of the golf cart crossing. Well, this creates
a back up of traffic onto the left-hand turning
lane, turning into Sun City under a green leftturn light, thus creating a dangerous situation
on Blue Oaks for cross-traffic with the traffic
turning into Sun City onto Del Webb Blvd.
If I remember right, at least two or three
accidents have accrued from people leaving Del
Webb Blvd. onto Blue Oaks that were turning
into traffic or there was one that was turning
into Del Webb Blvd from the left hand turn
lane. Anyway, the intersection is becoming
more and more dangerous with traffic flow
and a golf cart crossing that backs up traffic
that is only 100 feet plus from that entrance.
I don’t know who the two mature ladies
were walking and playing golf the other day,
but they decided to keep traffic flow going.
They waved traffic through as there were at

City of Roseville’s Plans to
Revitalize Downtown Roseville
BY RHON HERNDON – Roseville Public
Works Director
As part of the City of Roseville’s
plans to revitalize downtown Roseville
as envisioned by the Downtown Specific
Plan, improve traffic safety and ease
traffic congestion, construction on the
Oak Street Improvement Project which
includes a roundabout at
Washington Boulevard
and Oak Street will begin
in April and continue
through the end of 2014.
The project also
includes installation
of traffic signals at
the corners of Oak
& Grant and Oak &
Lincoln streets; Oak
Street realignment;
reconfiguration of
entry and exit points
to Oak Street parking;
streetscape and
landscape improvements
along Oak Street;
modifications to the
traffic signals at Lincoln
& Vernon streets; and
some minor work on
Lincoln Street to add a
right turn lane and frontage improvements.
One lane of traffic in each direction
will be open during the entire construction
period. Traffic through this area may be
heavy during morning and evening commute
times, and special events. Motorists can also
enter downtown from either end of Vernon
and Atlantic streets.
Parking availability along Oak Street
Washington Roundabout
and Dry Creek will be limited. Travelers
to downtown are encouraged to park in
the free downtown parking garage near
the corner of Vernon and S. Grant streets.
There are several other free parking options
in downtown as well.
A roundabout was included in the
project to improve driver and pedestrian
safety at the intersection of Washington
and Oak; improve traffic flow; and to create
a landmark entry feature into downtown.
Traffic accidents at the intersection of
Washington Boulevard and Oak Street are
currently three times the expected rate for
its type of intersection. According to the
Federal Highway Administration and the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety,
where a roundabout has replaced a signal
or stop intersection:
• Collisions reduced 37%
• Injury accident reduced 75%
• Fatalities reduced 90%
• Pedestrian collisions reduced 40%
The two primary reasons for reductions
in accidents in roundabouts are slower traffic
speeds within the roundabout and fewer
points of possible contact between both
vehicles and pedestrians in roundabouts
versus a signalized intersection.
The cost of the project is $4.2 million
with $2.6 million provided by federal
grants, $900,000 from development traffic
mitigation fees and $700,000 from the city’s
strategic improvement fund.

(Corner of Pleasant Grove & Foothills)
SSN Gardening Corner —
Growing Tomatoes
BY GEORGE PORTER
Local papers and
magazines suggest growing
Early Girl, Better Boy, or
Ace tomatoes. I agree and
have had good results from
all three. If you want to grow
Cherry tomatoes, Sweet 100
is a good one.
Making up the Soil Bed:
A critical step is making
a great soil bed for them to
grow in. For mine, I bought
treated [redwood will also
do] 2 x 12 lumber and made raised beds
– using an 8-foot (standard length) board
for each side and then cutting a third one
in half to make two 4-foot ends. Such a
bed can grow 3 plants quite nicely. Don’t
crowd them; they need good air circulation.
They will grow in pots on your patio
as well.
Creating the perfect soil ahead of
planting is the key. Purchased soil is light
and fluffy and doesn’t hold water very well.
So, the best method is to use generous
amounts of the native soil that is heavy
clay and then mix this soil with compost,
appropriate amendments, and food.
Break up the heavy soil and add compost
and a vegetable-based soil amendment
such as Kellogg’s GROMULCH which,
incidentally, Sun City Roseville uses with
each new plant. A mix of 40% heavy soil
and 30% of the other two will work well.
If you prefer to use purchased soil as your
amendment that’s also a good combination.
The trick is using enough heavy soil to keep
the moisture.
For my raised bed 8 x 4 feet, I add a
bag of processed steer manure and a half
bag of chicken manure, mix it all up and,
running it through my hands, it should be
pretty much lump- free. If your fruit has
suffered from blossom end rot in previous
years, this is most likely a calcium deficiency
that can be overcome by adding powdered
milk or ground up eggshells.
Lastly, soil chemistry should be slightly
acid. After you use your handy $10 tester
to get the pH reading, you can then add the
needed amendment to get a pH reading of
about 6. A reading of 7 is neutral.
Planting and Growing:
In the garden or raised beds, dig deep
and turn over the soil to add air to the bed
so that the roots will have an easy time
growing. Once the temperatures have
warmed up enough to plant (local papers
tells us when but it is a little later than most
folks think), purchase good fresh plants that
have just arrived at your favorite store from
the grower, and set them in the soil an inch
or two deeper than the grower did – burying
them up to the first set of branches.
Spreading mulch or straw around each
plant helps retain soil moisture and keeps
the leaves and branches away from the soil.
Keeping non-humans away is easily done
by purchasing concrete reinforcing wire
patterns (6-inch squares) from your local
home improvement store and then cutting
the material so that generous (approx.
26-inch diameter) open top cylinders can
be made by tying the ends with good wire.
Then wrap the cylinders with bird netting
and your precious tomatoes will be safe
from skunks, raccoons, and neighbors!
Tomatoes should be grown in full sun
for best results and highest yields. Since it
is warm and sunny in summer, here, proper
irrigation is key. I use drippers and spray
drippers arranged so that all the soil is
moist but not wet.
As the plant grows larger, heavier but
less frequent watering is a good idea. In
my beds, I continue with drip irrigation
every morning but I flood the raised beds
from time to time in the latter parts of the
season or when temperatures are 100 plus.
Feeding can be done as described in
prior articles; however, I alternate using
steer manure and granular “Tomato &
Vegetable Food” and feed the plants every
month – throwing a handful or two of the
material at the root area of each plant.
Granular fertilizers with a high second
number (for phosphorus) work best since
phosphorus is the chemical that produces
flowers and fruit.
When the time comes to harvest the
ripe fruit, use scissors to cut the bird netting
just enough to reach in and harvest your
prize. The birds and other pests will never
know the netting has been cut!
The only REAL pest is the Tomato
Hornworm and I use a spray of “Bt”.
The precise product is ‘Caterpillar Killer’
made by Safer that, after mixing according

Seniors Need to Know!
Should I drop my Medicare Advantage plan and buy a
health insurance plan in the Marketplace?
No. If you have Medicare, you should
not buy health insurance plans through
the Health Insurance Marketplace. This
is true, whether you get your Medicare
benefits through Original Medicare, the
traditional Medicare program directly
administered by the federal government, or
through a Medicare Advantage plan, which
is Medicare coverage offered through a
private insurance company.
Health insurance Marketplaces, also
known as Health Insurance Exchanges,
were created under the Affordable Care
Act (Sometimes called “Obamacare”) as
a way for people who are uninsured or
underinsured to compare and purchase
health insurance plans. Keep in mind that
Marketplaces may have different names,
depending on which state you live in. For
example, the California Marketplace is
called Covered California, while the New
York Marketplace is called the New York
State of Health.
Again, the important thing to know
is that people who have Medicare should
generally not drop their Medicare coverage
and sign up for a Marketplace plan. If you
have Medicare, your Medicare benefits will
not change as a result of the Marketplaces.
In addition, insurance agents and brokers
are not allowed to sell you Marketplace
health insurance plans if they know you
have Medicare.
Another thing to keep in mind is
that the Marketplace is not a way for you
to get Medicare coverage. You cannot
buy Medicare coverage, such as Original
Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans,
in the Market place. Medigap plans, also
known as supplemental insurance plans
that helps pay Original Medicare costs,
will not be sold through the Marketplace.
Similarly, Medicare prescription drug
plans, also known as Medicare Part D plans,
will not be sold through the Marketplace.
Lastly, keep in mind that there are
some consequences that may occur if you
drop your Medicare coverage and somehow
mistakenly sign up for a health insurance
plan in the Marketplace. If you drop your
Medicare coverage, you will most likely
have to pay a premium penalty if you
enroll in Medicare again in the future. In
addition, you will likely have to wait until
a specific enrollment period to sign up for
Medicare and may therefore experience
gaps in health coverage.
Remember, it’s best to speak to a Social
Security Administration agent anytime you
decide to drop your Medicare coverage.
You can contact Social Security by calling
800-772-1213 or by going to your local
Social Security office. Be sure to record
the time and date of your conversation, the
name of the Social Security agent you speak
to and the outcome of your conversation.
For information about your Medicare
benefits, contact 800-MEDICARE or go
online and visit www.medicare.gov .

Fun Chromatic Harmonica Workshop Offered
Bud Gardner, founder of the popular
Sun City Roseville Harmonicoots, is
conducting a workshop, “Fun Chromatic
Harmonica” on Saturday, April 5, 2014
from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at Sierra
College in Rocklin.
“The chromatic harmonica is not only
fun to play, but you can create memorable
music,” says Gardner. “Why? Because the
chromatic has a lever or button that allows
you to play the sharps and flats that many
songs require. It truly is a piano in your
pocket.”
Created for men and women, beginners
and up, this class will cover the chromatic
scale, key of C, G, and F scales, three blow/
draw techniques, throat vibrato, hand
vibrato and many other valuable chromatic
basic techniques. Students will need to
bring either a 12-hole chromatic (48 notes)
or a 16-hole chromatic (64 notes) in the
key of C. One option is to purchase the
SWAN chromatic prior to the class online
from Amazon.com.
Pre-registration is required at the
Sierra College Community Education
office by calling 916-781-6280 or online at
www.sccommed.org. Sign-up cost is $48.
A fee of $20 for materials that include an
instruction songbook and CD is due at class.

Executive Director Comments
Resident Survey to Help Guide Future Boards on Projects
BY EARL WIKLUND
This year’s Strategic Plan Update work
is focused on updating the 2006 Strategic
Plan; one that has helped guide our Board
of Directors for the last eight years. The
input from the resident survey that was
released on April 1st will help form this
year’s strategic plan update and help guide
the community for the next ten years. The
survey will allow all residents to weigh in on
ideas for additional services, programs and
facilities to help Sun City Roseville keep on
the path as a quality active adult community.
With needs of our residents changing, the
survey is a great way to keep abreast of those
changes while keeping the community as a
great place to live; and help maintain the
values of our homes.
The Strategic plan done in 2006
primarily focused on facilities improvement.
The biggest project stemming from the plan
was the enlargement of the Sierra Pines
building; creating larger meeting rooms and
a staging kitchen. The recently completed
storage building also stems from this report.
Other projects consisted of ‘growing within
the existing walls’ approach including the
reorganization of the Fitness Center and
Pro Shop, enlargement of the entrance to
the Administration Department and more
recently, the reorganization of the F&B
Office. This year’s project to analyze the
Timbers Restaurant and Bar and develop
a concept for a possible resident vote
for approval was envisioned in the 2006
strategic Plan.
The recently released resident survey
serves to both understand better how each
of us uses the amenities currently offered,
by different demographics while trying to
ascertain future needs. Focused less on
facilities, the survey is trying to target new
services and programs that can be offered
to benefit our living experience here at Sun
City Roseville. With homes turning over
at 4% to 6% per year, this means that the
makeup of our residents is changing as well;
including ages, interests and expectations.
One service being discussed is what is being
called ‘decisions to be made at the fork in
road’. Anticipated here is the research to
derive educational materials needed to make
future decisions surrounding a safe living
environment during the aging process; and
to future living facility changes.
The resident survey period will run
from April 1st through April 28th at which
time the Resident Survey group will tabulate
the results. The survey, whether being
completed online or with a paper survey, will
all be entered online and results tabulated

based on various individual resident

Each question will also be summarized by

including the comment sections. The total
results will be made available to all residents

Restaurants
BY MARTIN GREEN
Shortly after the Yard House restaurant
opened our LEO (Let’s Eat Out) group had
lunch there and it was a less than satisfactory
experience. Since then I’ve had several reports
about the Yard House, some good and some
not so good. As it happened, Beverly and I
ate there twice recently, once because our son
Michael wanted to have his birthday lunch
there, and then because our LEO group went
back there for an encore lunch.
The Yard House, as I believe I’ve written
here before, is possibly the largest restaurant in
our area, reminding me of an airplane hanger
with its high ceiling; it also has a long bar in
the center and many, many TV’s. One of the
problems our LEO group at our first visit
was that our table was in the middle of the
restaurant and the volume of the noise was so
bad a few members went outside to get away
from it. For our son’s birthday lunch we had
a large booth in a corner and this was much
better. The same was true of the service, with
one exception. I ordered the roast beef dip,
being sure to emphasize that I didn’t want
melted cheese of it. Sure enough, it came with
the cheese and had to be sent back.
Aside from this, it was an enjoyable lunch.
Our son splurged on one of the seafood entrees,
the crusted halibut; Beverly had one of the half
sandwich or pizzas and cup of soup or salad
selections, ordering a pizza and Caesar salad;
and I had the roast beef dip, without cheese.
The Yard House has a nice kids’ menu; our
grandson Morgan had the chicken strips and
Mason the mac and cheese. They also got
kids’ sundaes gratis while our son got an
adult sundae for his birthday
The Yard House has an extensive menu,
which includes, besides the items mentioned
above, burgers (over a dozen different ones),
steaks and ribs, as well as pizzas and “house
favorites,” such as orange peel chicken, angel
hair pasta, roasted turkey pot pie, southern
fried chicken and spicy jambalaya. There are
also about a dozen desserts. And I should
also mention the drinks menu, which is what
they are noted for, a hundred or so different
beers, which you can have by the goblet, pint
or half yard, plus, for non-beer drinkers, a
shorter wine list.
For our LEO lunch our table wasn’t in the
center of the restaurant and this seemed to keep
the noise down. The service was adequate for a
group of our size, about a dozen, Beverly again
had the one-half, this time a turkey sandwich
with Caesar salad and I had, not the roast beef
sandwich, but sliders (four) with fries. As far
as I know on a our second visit there the Yard
House obtained a passing grade.
The Yard House restaurant is one of a
chain that started in Long Beach in 1996 and
which now extends throughout the country,
including Hawaii. Ours is located in the
Fountains (1166 Roseville Parkway); the phone
number is 780-9273. The restaurant opens daily
at 11 AM; the last food call Monday-Thursday
is 11:30 PM, Friday-Saturday, 1 AM. Finally,
the yard in Yard House and for its beer comes
from a three-foot tall glass designed in Great
Britain and handed to stage coach drivers
after long journeys. One thing is for certain;
judging by the crowd there on both of our
recent visits the Yard House is doing a good
business and many of its customers like that

Beverly and I went to Anatolian Table,
our local Turkish restaurant, at the request of
our oldest son David and his wife Laura, who’d
heard about it from a friend. Anatolian, like
Yard House, appears to be doing well as they’ve
opened a second restaurant, Anatolian Table
Turkish Bistro, in downtown Sacramento at
2319 K Street. The phone number is 737-5767.
I’ve written about Anatolian here before but
Beverly and I hadn’t been there for a while.
I recalled having the lamb kabob before and
three of us had this, which was as good as
remembered.
Anatolian’s website says that they use
fresh locally grown produce, make their yogurt
and sauces from scratch and bake their bread
daily. Their menu is not confined to kabobs
but covers a large variety of dishes, all of
which have Turkish names. Some of these
are lamb sotea, Turkish ravioli, lamb guvetch
and yogurth adama. There are a number of
seafood entrees: sea bream. salmon, mahi
mahi, shrimp and halibut, plus sandwiches,
burgers and even a pizza. Desserts include
baklava, which David and Laura had while
Beverly and I passed even though we knew
from past experience it was very good. For
those who like Turkish artifacts, Anatolian
sells rugs, copper plates, lights and gift boxes.
The restaurant is at 6815 Lonetree Boulevard;
the phone number is 772-3020.
As readers may know, Beverly and I have
a third son, Chris, who lives in Ireland. When
we want to deposit a check in the Citibank at
Nugget’s shopping center for birthdays, etc.,
we usually take the occasion to have lunch at
Mary’s Pizza Shack. I mention this because
Mary’s now has a lunch special, Mary’s Meal
11
for Two, for $20.95, that gives a choice of a
medium pizza, spaghetti with two meatballs
or calzone, with a Pepsi and soup or Mary’s
salad for each person. I’ll also put in, as it’s
on the other side of their lunch special menu,
that they have desserts like cheesecake, mud
pie, sundaes and upside-down cake, and serve
expresso drinks.
I’m happy to report I did receive one
e-mail this month, about Pluto’s in the Galleria,
and will have it in the next issue. I hope there’ll
be more; my e-mail address is mgreensuncity@

Ambassador Committee
BY SALLY GRAHAM
New neighbors Cheryl and Tom
Carden, pictured here with Ambassador
Marsha Klein, were among 72 guests at
the New Resident Welcome hosted by
the Ambassadors last February. Jennifer
Martinez and Jean Montgomery along with
Kathy Casten and Janet Norris transformed
Sierra Pines into a festive setting with tables
decorated with a flower pot, some flower
seeds, a spade and gloves for a Spring
planting. Many thanks to our two Bills
(Montgomery and Blank), Jim Grandey
and Gene Martinez for being terrific wine
stewards and over-all Ambassador helpers
at these parties.
Cheryl and Tom come to us from
Orangevale and represent SCR residents
who move here while still in the workforce.
Cheryl is a first grade teacher for the
San Juan School District; Tom is with
Powerhouse Ministries. Board Chair
Rodger Page, Activities Director Sharon
Mowry, Head Golf Pro Mark Gouger,
Compliance Committee member Janet
Pence and Board Director Dan Arriola all
spoke about the many ways residents can
participate in the SCR lifestyle, making
“retirement” the most exciting chapter in
life’s journey.

you are preparing such a plan, please keep in
mind CC&R section 6.09 of the Governing
Documents regarding the maintenance of
drainage courses.
Design Guidelines section 3.02 (c)
(i) stresses the need to get advanced
approval from the ARC before beginning
a new hardscape project to avoid the
costly possibility of having to remove any
hardscape that does not meet guidelines.
Sub-sections (ii) and (iii) discuss the
placement of hardscape and the total
surface area of a front yard that can be
covered with hardscape (not to exceed 40%).
Sub-section (iv) addresses the painting of
driveways (not permitted), and the use
of clear sealer for maintenance purposes
(allowed without prior ARC approval).
Sub-section (v) stresses the need to ensure
that any replacement concrete match in
color as closely as possible the area being
replaced. Stamped concrete for walkways/
driveways will be considered for approval
on a case-by-case basis (sub-section (vi)).
Regular maintenance to driveways and
sidewalks will help to keep our community
looking neat and “spring cleaned”. Please
inspect your concrete for dirt/mildew/mold;
sweeping with a sturdy brush can remove
much of these dark areas. Orange stains
can be removed with environmentally
friendly products; professional application
is recommended when using such products.
Any questions regarding changes to
your hardscape should be addressed to the
Community Standards Department in the
Association office: Lorri Booth at 774-3869
or Ryan O’Connell at 774-3863.

BY CHARLYN ROSS
The Association Needs You!
Why would the Association need
you? Sun City Roseville contains over
3,100 homes, with over 5,000 residents.
Each homeowner owns a part of the whole
community, and her/his views of what
this community should offer in the way of
facilities, public spaces, events, activities,
etc. is important.
In past years, several changes have
resulted with the help of resident’s input.
Sierra Pines was expanded and improved
to better accommodate the many functions
held there. A permanent outdoor barbeque
area was added to the Sierra Pines patio.
A croquet field was installed for an active
interest group. The Fitness Center workout
area was redesigned to allow for additional
equipment.
Approximately every five years, the
Board of Directors establishes a work
group tasked with the goal of determining
what future improvements or changes
might be made to perpetuate Sun City
Roseville’s image as the Premier, Active,
Adult Community in Northern California.
To do this the work group needs input from
you, the resident.
Beginning April 1 through April 28 a
Resident Survey will be available online
at the Resident Website home page www.
suncityresident.com. A resident can
complete the online version from any
computer, at any time. Once completed
the survey can be submitted electronically
from the computer. What could be more
convenient!
Printed copies of the survey will be
available in the Lodge, as well, for those not
having access to a computer. Every resident
is asked to take a few minutes to complete
this important document whether online
or printed copy. Your input is valuable in
determining the future of Sun City Roseville.

Sun City Singers
BY JACKIE PROETT
It’s April and the spring breezes
remind us of simpler times. Shopping
with Mom for patent leather shoes, socks
with lace ruffles and Easter Bonnets
for girls. For boys there were bow ties,
fancy suspenders and white shirts. Easter
baskets brimming and Church with soaring
music came next. Long after the Baskets,
Bonnets and Bow ties were gone, the
music soared on.
For the Singers, the music still soars!
This time our baskets are filled with
Broadway music for our Spring Concert.
Musical Show-stoppers will include many
of your favorites. And as this is all about
Show Biz, everyone tries to get into the act!
Len Fritsch, Betty’s husband succeeded!
He came up with the title, ON WITH THE
SHOW. That seems to sum it up perfectly!
Thanks, Len.
While we are thanking people we
should remember Betty Fritsch for our
“in-house Newsletter” she has taken over
for Pat Wilkerson who did such a great
job for years. It is such a help to have
all our dates written down in one place
and easy to post. Joe Hepburn should be
thanked also for our Website. It’s terrific
having email reminders of dates, changes
in music, etc. Don’t miss it---get online!
But back to Easter! If you are thinking
of Easter gifts for friends and relatives,
forget the sugary edibles, how about
buying tickets for our Spring Concert, ON
WITH THE SHOW. It will be held at the
Lodge on May 30th 7PM, ticket prices
$10.00. The Bunny approves!
Our Easter Bonnets may be gone and
the last of the chocolate eggs, but we’ll
always have the music!

Music and Laughter
BY JANE BOHN
Hooray for Daylight Saving Time. We
had to add chairs for the crowd of over 70
people who came to hear our entertainers.
(We actually stopped counting.)Thank
you all, so much, for your patience and
continued attendance.
Our show actually started around
6:40pm with Joan Thomas serenading
us on the piano as people entered. Of
course, at 7pm, everyone joined in to sing
Happy Birthday to all those born in March.
We were then blessed with entertainers
ready and waiting for their chance at
the microphone. The list of fabulous
entertainers included Liz Sabatini, Ray
Sturgess, Ken Roberts, Carver Sears,
James Hicks, Joe Lopez, Auggie Vila and
Frank Bohn. Gratefully, Bruce Turley was
also on hand to accompany some of us on
his trusty guitar. Those who added humor
to the mix included Jan Montero, John
Feller and Jean Hedin. What a wonderful
cast and a wonderful time we all had. For
those of you who missed out on this fun
hour or so, we hope you’ll pick up a flyer
at the Kiosk as you enter the lodge and
come join us April 9th, when we gather
next. As you may know, we always meet
on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at
7pm at our Sierra Pines Lodge. Our shows
are always FREE and we promise you will
enjoy seeing your neighbors perform as
well as hearing the many sing- a-longs the
audience participates in. We look forward
to the continued opportunity of providing
a fun filled hour of entertainment for you.

April brings with it warmer days
with beautiful blue skies, blooming trees,
spring flowers, and the fervent wish for a
multitude of April showers!
Looking back... the Line 2,3,4
Valentine Dance was held February 19th,
with 52 attendees. It was noted that 23 of
the attendees were still dancing at 9:30PM.
A good time was enjoyed by all!
The annual All Dance party, with
the theme “Dance into Spring,” was held
March 19th in the Ballroom. This event
included all forms of dance (line, clogging,
jazz, tap, ballroom, and country couples)
sponsored by the Dance Club. This alldance party provided an opportunity for
club members to share the love of dance
with like-minded members, exhibit their
skills, and encourage one another to
consider learning a new style of dance.
On Wednesday, April 16th, the Line
Dance Level 1 class will host its first party
for this year. The event will be held at
Sierra Pines from 6:30-9:00PM. The steps
to each dance will be reviewed, enabling
new members as well as guests to feel more
confident on the dance floor. Residents
who may be considering signed up for Line
Dance lessons are encouraged to attend
this dance. We promise a good time and
a room full of smiling faces!
Tickets for all events are $4 for Dance
Club members if purchased prior to the
day of the dance or $5 for tickets bought
at the door. Tickets for non-member
guests are $6.
With over 260 members, the Dance
Club classes and dances provide an
enjoyable way to stay in shape and make
new friends. Reminder… the first 3 classes
are free to resident guests. Annual dues
are $10, but fees for the classes vary.
Come check us out (class schedules are
in the kiosk in the lobby)… you will be
glad you did!!

SCR RV Club
SCR Travel Club
BY MARILYN GLYNN
The RV Club celebrated their Spring
Fling Party on Saturday, March 1st. It was
well attended with 58 members and guests
and a good time was had by all. Sharon
Mowry, our Activities Director, made a
short and informational presentation to
the attendees.
The Eastern Sierra RV trip down
US Route 395 was presented by
Wagonmaster Coordinator Jack Steele
and an enthusiastic # of RVers eagerly
signed up. This trip will take place from
May 4 - 14th with planned stops along the
way and optional side trips.
It appears that the opportunity has
presented itself for the Club to look at
the possibility of a new identity. We are no
longer able to meet all the requirements
of the Association to remain as a Club.
However, it was overwhelmingly decided
to continue as friendships are very
strong and the camaraderie is a treasure.
Therefore it was highly recommended that
we look at continuing as a Group, which is

April 28th meeting time is ½ hour
later at 3:30 PM in the Ballroom. Mark
your calendar for a great style show
featuring Sun City models with Discovery
Shop fashion. Discovery Shops help
support the fight against cancer through
the sale of high quality, gently used
donated merchandise. Come see how
such items as clothing, accessories and
jewelry can add to your personal style at
the April 28th meeting.
Cherry blossoms are blooming in
Washington, DC and on April 9 a large
group of Sun City Travelers are going to
enjoy the festivities and the sights. Trips
like this are so popular that one has to sign
up well in advance so watch for upcoming
trips for late 2014 and early 2015 so you
don’t miss out.
March was a busy month for the Club
with our Focus Groups deciding areas they
want the Planning Committee to research.
Then our March speaker whetted our
appetite for cruising in small ships.
Finally our Solo Travelers had a great
time learning about travel opportunities
and meeting others who love to go but
don’t want to go alone.

Jewish Fellowship
BY ILENE HERMAN
Our Purim celebration took place on
the evening of March 16 at Sierra Pines.
As a departure from our original Purim
Shpeils of the past, this year we were
entertained by Cantor Ben Rosner and
clarinetist Marc Epstein of Mosaic Law
Synogogue. We enjoyed their musical
presentation as well as the story of the
Megillah (the tale of Purim when the Jews
triumphed over the evil villain Hamen.)

The traditional Hamen Tashen were
delicious!
On Friday night, April 4, Linda and
Barry Tossman will lead our regular first
Friday night monthly service at 7:30 at
Sierra Pines. Sherry and Larry Bleweiss
will provide a tasty Oneg and all of us
can participate in the lively discussion
to follow.
We’ll hold our Passover Seder at the
Timbers Ballroom Tuesday, April 15 at
6PM. The Blieweisses have graciously
agreed to lead the service accompanying
the traditional meal again. This is always
a very special event celebrating the
important holiday so mark your calendars
and plan to attend. Details will follow.
Rita Abbott has arranged a very
interesting program on April 7 at 1:30
on Monday, April 7 in the Beach/Cedar
rooms at the lodge. We will watch an
expert documentary called the Rape of
Europe. It deals with the group of GIs
during the Second World War charged
with finding and saving European Art
pillaged by the Nazi regime. Those of
you who have seen the popular movie,
The Monuments Men, will recall that
mission. This is a fuller account and asks
us to consider the role of art in the survival
of a culture.
Please check the kiosk in the lodge
lobby for the flyer about the Jewish
Fellowship prepared by our president,
Steve Emanuel. Our membership is open

SCR Veterans Club
BY RAY ILLE
Our March speaker was Sun City
resident Bill Huber, Lt. Col., USAF (Ret).
Bill gave a very informative talk about
his experiences flying as a Forward Air
Controller in Vietnam. He flew many
sensitive missions along the Ho Chi
Minh trail and the Cambodian border.
These missions were so important that
his Unit was under the direct control
of General Westmoreland. There were
119 in attendance to hear Bill tell of this
time flying low level missions in the 0-2
Skymaster.
We welcome five new members who
have joined our Club since the first of the
year. They are Rosemary Boissonade,
Mary Brown, Dick Conzelman, Al
Rehkemper and Lon Tanner.
Virginia Thompson is now comparing
our membership roster with the new
Sun City Directory to determine if any
members on our roster have moved out
of Sun City. Once a person moves out of
Sun City, they can no longer be carried as a
member. However, if a person moves back
to Sun City, he or she can be reinstated
as a member.
Thank you, Don Hug for again
auditing our financial records for 2013.
He reported our files are in good shape.
Our Council is considering a voluntary
donation system at the monthly general
meeting to replace the funds that have
been lost from our raffles. Part of this
income could go to the Wounded War
Veteran program. There will be more
discussion of this plan before a final
decision is made.
Our speaker on April 2nd will be Don
Arndt who is with the Sacramento Valley
National Veterans Cemetery. He will go
over the details for a veteran and spouse
to be buried in this facility. The meeting
starts at 10:30 AM.

SCR Investment Club
BY JOHN DESANTIS
The SCR Investment Charter Club is
organized in a two-tiered structure.
The bottom tier consists of three
independent investment groups that meet
individually once a month for the purpose
of managing their existing portfolios.
The top tier is the Investment Charter
Club that meets once a month to discuss
issues that are common to the three
investing entities. The monthly meeting of
the Charter Club usually has two speakers
who present a snapshot of the current state
of the investment markets. Stocks, Bonds,
Commodities, and REITs are discussed.
The Investment Charter Club meets
on the second Wednesday of each month
in The Ponderosa Room at Sierra Pines
from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. All residents
are welcome.

SCR Postage Stamp Group
BY DICK REINGOLD
This is of interest to stamp collectors,
but it is also interesting and informative
for those who do not save stamps. Most
people tend to lump all of these definitions
under a single name—“counterfeit” and
apply it just to money but there are some
differences between the four categories.
The terms and definitions are in the
following paragraphs
Forgery — A forgery is a reproduction
or fabrication of a real stamp (or money)
that is intended to fool collectors (or in
the case of currency--the public). Some
forgeries can be very realistic or very
crude. The realistic ones are, in the case
of currency, to pass as real money
The crude ones are sometimes made
just to fill spaces in a stamp album.
Counterfeit — A postal counterfeit
is created specifically to defraud a postal
administration of revenue. Usually a
postal counterfeit can be identified by its
relatively crude appearance compared
to a genuine stamp. However, recent
advances in technology have allowed
counterfeiters to create much more
convincing items. Since counterfeiting is a
federal offense, and copies are confiscated
postal counterfeiting is fairly rare. The
same applies to currency.
Fake — This applies mainly to stamp
collectors. Faked stamps are usually
genuine stamps, but which have been
altered, including adding or removing
cancellations, trimming or adding
perforations, altering or adding overprints
or surcharges, re-gumming and many
other repairs or alterations. This is to
deceive unwary collectors.
Bogus — The term bogus describes
items from real or imagined countries
that are intended to look like they were
officially issued. They are usually created
by those who hope to sell them to unwary
collectors as genuine postal issues.
The Roseville Postage Stamp Group
meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of
the month in
Sierra Pines at 6:30 PM Drop by
one of their meetings and see what you
can learn about the great hobby of stamp
collecting

SCR Birders
BY JANET MORELLI
Bird watchers see much more than
birds when they look through their
binoculars. Most often, they are sizing
up the environment looking for clusters
of trees, sources of water, open meadows,
and dead or dying trees, places that are
most likely to be where birds rest (and
hide) and find food or drink. These
same places are also home to many other
critters besides birds. On their latest
bird watching trips, SCR Birders were
rewarded with up-close sightings of river
otters, a baby raccoon, a large turtle, a
coyote, and a group of black-tailed deer
in addition to dozens of different bird
species. It’s a wonderful way to spend a
morning with a pair of binoculars.
A trip to the Vic Fazio Preserve at the
Yolo Causeway is scheduled for March
6, 2014. Last year’s trip to the same site
yielded sightings of three dozen different
species. We will meet in the Timbers
Lodge at 7:15 AM and organize into car
pools to leave for the Preserve at 7:30 AM.
After a couple hours at the Preserve, we
will go to Davis for lunch. Bring car pool
and lunch money.
Sierra View Country Club in Roseville
will be our destination on Monday, March
17. Again, we will leave the Timbers at 7:30
AM for a couple hours of bird watching
at the Country Club.
In April, Birders are scheduled to go
to the South Bluffs trail (off of Foothills
Boulevard) on Thursday, the 3rd. That
trip will also leave from the Timbers at
7:30 AM.
All SCR residents are invited to join
in these birding trips. Bring a pair of
binoculars and wear comfortable shoes.
For more information, call Janet Zeitman
at 771-5235.

SCR Garden Club
BY RAYANN GOLDA
If you are reading this you probably
missed the planned field trip for the
Garden Club to Horton Iris Garden on
Tuesday, April 1, 2014. The meeting time
is 10:15 AM at the Tennis Courts at the
Lodge where we will depart by carpool.
Maps will be available. There will NOT

The Garden Club is proud to present
The Spring 2014 Garden Tour and Art

feature delightful and beautiful gardens
from Garden Club Members and Fine
Art from members of the Fine Arts Club.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go to benefit
the Sun City Roseville Foundation, a 501
(3) c organization, which provides support
services needed by SCR Residents. . Art
Work will be available for sale and handled
by on-site Fine Arts members. Tickets
are $12.00 per person and are available
in the lobby of the Lodge the first three
mornings of April on Courier pickup days.
There will be a limited number of tickets.
So you won’t want to miss out on this.
The Nominating Committee will be
calling members to ask if you will serve
as a member of the Garden Club Board
for the 2014-2015 year. Please give it
careful consideration as it takes many
of us to make the club successful. You
have it in you.
The May meeting is entitled “Open
Forum-Gardening in Sun City.” There
will also be a nomination of officers for
the coming year. The election takes place
in June at our Annual Ice Cream Social.

SCR Water Fitness
BY BARBARA WOOLMAN
Over one hundred members enjoyed
the Water Fitness Club’s most jovial
annual Pizza Party the end of March. Our
next rep council meeting is on May 20th,
and our ice cream social is on May 28th.
The club is considering a possible
deep-water class using lanes five and six at
11 a.m. Monday and Wednesdays. Deep
water exercise is designed to give a great
workout using the resistance of the water
without touching the bottom of the pool.
Resistance provides endurance, flexibility,
strength, and motor coordination.
Participants use a flotation belt to decrease
the effects of gravity and reduce weight
bearing or compression of joints. If you
are interested in signing up for a demo/
trial class, look for a flyer on the monitor’s
desk for time and date information.
We are also considering a new FLEX
attendance possibility for those who would
like to be in a water fitness class but
can’t because of conflicts with the water
fitness class schedule. Tickets would be
purchased for the same price--ten for
fifteen dollars, but quarterly fees would
be more expensive. This idea is still under
discussion.

Well, tennis lovers we did not get lucky
for our “Get Lucky Tennis Tournament”
on March 1st, but we sure did get lucky with
the much needed rain! The tournament
was rescheduled for Saturday, March 8th.
This month I’d like to tell you about
a “Tennis League” that has been ongoing
for about 10 years. All members are
required to belong to the SCR Tennis
Club but is managed and directed solely
by Joseph Campagna. It consists of
16 players who play doubles on either
Wednesday or Thursday each week from
March to October. Some of the players
have participated in the league since it
started. There are two 15week rounds
and players are divided into separate
flights for each round. A schedule of
matches is published at the beginning of
the rounds. Players contribute an entry
fee that is returned to them during the
season, in the form of prizes. Joseph keeps
meticulous records of every match played
and provides a status report each week.
He also assigns substitute players from a
list of volunteers for regular players who
are unable to play on an assigned date. All
players, regular or substitute, were invited
to attend a kickoff luncheon in February
and a close out luncheon in November
23
both at Sierra View Country Club. We
thank you, Joseph, for all your efforts in
this ongoing fun endeavor.
Our tennis club meets every other
month at Sierra Pines for a meeting and
social. April 2nd is our next meeting and
Pasta is on the menu. Original Pete’s will
be catering this one again as we all so
much enjoyed their pizza in February.
We want to thank Linda Gordon and her
amazing crew who work so hard to make
this a success.
We continue to have Saturday
morning drop in at 9AM.

Table Tennis
BY KAREN YEATES
Remember on Saturday, May 31, 2014
at Sierra Pines Spruce Room from 5PM
to 9PM we’ll be having our spring potluck
dinner with a Spring Bonnet/Hat contest
for both the men and women. Also in
June, we will need to select a new slate
of officers. If interested, talk to Richard
Paine or Kathy Koong.
As mentioned in last month’s article,
there’s a change in the wind for the table
tennis balls. Currently, these are made
with celluloid, which is one of the first
industrial plastics dating back to the
1800s. The proposed new poly balls will
be made of polyethylene. Is there much
of a difference and why change? Celluloid

is highly flammable and is not the easiest
to work with. People are hoping that the
new poly ball will be similar in feel, but
improved in roundness, durability, and
bounce. There are inconsistencies with
the celluloid balls – they crack and break,
some are light, some are heavy, and there
are differences in the roundness. The goal
of the new poly balls is equivalent weight,
perfect and uniform roundness, uniform
diameter of the inner wall thickness, good
bounce, lasts longer, and of course costs
less. It is still not known then these new
poly balls will be available for purchase,
but it will be interesting to try them out.
Answer to last month’s question: The
Maccabiah games are an international
athletic competition for Jewish athletes
and are held in Israel every four years.
They have become known as the “Jewish
Olympics”. In 2013, there were over
9,000 participants from more than
78 countries, including the United
States. The USA sent 21 Table
Tennis athletes and had their best
finish in this sport since 1997.
This month’s question: What
is celluloid mainly composed of?
croquet and seasoned players will be able
to improve their skills. Jim Miller will
be continuing this series in April. Each
session will be held on Saturday from 9:30
until 11:00 and then the same session held
again on the following Wednesday at the
same times for those who wish to repeat
it or who can’t make the Saturday session.
Each session will conclude with playing a
game. Participants do not need to wear
white for these classes.
The schedule: A p r i l 2 w i l l
demonstrate the six basic strokes, followed
by a game.
April 5 and 9 will demonstrate making
angle shots, followed by a game.
April 12 and 17 will discuss the various
types of games, followed by a game.
After the classes are finished we will
attempt to form a group that can meet
weekly and play together.
See you on the courts!

April showers, Spring sunshine
and our own sunny lady… Treasurer Darlene Reber. Darlene was born in a
small community in Kansas, raised on a
farm until high school when her parents
moved to town so she could complete
her education. She worked for Western
Airlines, then Delta. Darlene and her
husband raised two children, a son and
daughter, and have two grandchildren.
They traveled quite a bit with his work,
even up to Alaska! Her husband passed
in 1997. Darlene is Financial Secretary
of her church. She has been treasurer
of several groups, both here in Sun City
and elsewhere. Darlene didn’t golf until
moving to Sun City in 1999 and says it was
her BEST move! When I asked Darlene
for a few notes, I didn’t realize how busy
a lady she is. Darlene volunteers with
several organizations outside Sun City,
even going to El Salvador on a
Habitat for Humanity trip. Talk
to Darlene about all her vacation
travels… she loves going to Hawaii.
We’re fortunate to have her.
Now that it’s April we can be
looking forward to more outdoor
activities… Golf, of course! The

Hooray another new member this
past month. Marge Donnelly and her
husband, George, retired to Arizona but
grandchildren have brought them back
to California. Marge also enjoys bridge
and tennis. She has been enjoying playing
and getting to know other 18 hole golfers.
Welcome, Marge.
There are two new women working
in our Pro Shops: Emeline Ellsworth and
Jacki Pope. Emeline Ellsworth, sometimes
known as “Em”, is seeking a career in
golf. Presently, she is a student at Sierra
College and plans to attend a PGA golf
school in the future. Her goal is to become
a teaching golf professional. “Just like
Mark,” she said. Emeline is the middle
child in a family of 5 kids that has taught
her how to be competitive – a necessary
ingredient in the world of golf. She is in
charge of on line merchandizing for the
Pro Shop and is doing an impressive job.
Jacki Pope has worked as a sales
representative for various companies.
She became dedicated to the golf industry
after serving an internship at Pebble Beach
during the 1992 US Open. She graduated
from Sacramento State University with a
major in Recreation and Leisure before
her first venture into the golfing world job
as a sales rep. Presently, she works mostly
at the Pines. Jacki lives in Rocklin and
is trying to get her 10-year old daughter
to spend more time on the golf course
with her.
Sun City is fortunate to have these
two capable women serving in our Pro
Shops. Welcome them by saying, “Hello,
my name is___”. After all they have a lot
of names and faces to learn as they join
the Sun City life.
At the February general meeting the
18 Hole women supported the possibility
of” Play it Forward” tees. In order for
this to happen some new tees would
need to be created, new course ratings
made, and new cards printed. New tees
will be created with some holes having a
combination of present tees and new tees.
This change would allow many people
to continue playing 18 holes of golf in a
competitive way. This movement called
“Play It Forward” was initiated by Jack
Nicklas. He advocates players selecting
a set of tees that matches their ability and
keeps all golfers on the course longer as
advanced ages make longer courses too
challenging for many players. Our Timber
Creek course would then have Casper tees,
blue tees, gold tees, red tees, and another
color for the new tees. Any color but
green will be selected. This idea is being
supported by Mark and Jim.

Are you eclectically ready? Your putts
are going in regularly, at least towards the
hole that the “good” fairy changes daily?
I am announcing the start of these games
with eyes to heaven. Don’t make Eclectic
Committee Chair Joan Rose and her
cohort Putt for Points Audie Gould angry
by not signing up. It’s not pretty. Signup
sheets are in place at the Pines so I can
only urge you to do it and “there will peace
in the valley”. FYI, the only requirement
(and I say this mainly for those of us with
memory burps) is the strict counting of our
strokes so that we come out unscathed by
hurled tomatoes that leave a nasty stain. I
can tell you how I got mine out. Hopefully,
you won’t need to know.
Gwen back on the job!
Ah, Janet Z’s chip-in!
Cold Spring G&CC was chosen as
Club of the Year 2013! This course and its
really charming members is only a stone’s
throw away in Placerville and WNHGA
is offering an Open Day to us on
April 29. Let’s venture forth and
check out why OUR course was not
#one. Line forms behind me. Open
day is also available on April 10 at
Del Rio G&CC in Modesto, which
also didn’t make the cut. Hmmm…
Wahoo! Winter rules still apply,
while our April tee times change to
8:30 AM and 11:00 AM.
The aforementioned Eclectic
games begin on April 2, while Putt
for Points starts on April 9. The
Council meeting is at the Pines on
April 9 at 2:00 PM. The general
meeting is also at the Pines on April 16 at
2:00 PM after the tournament. On April
30 the early risers will play the OAKS
at 8:00 AM, while the late bloomers are
scheduled at the LAKES at 10:30 AM, so
don’t show up at the Pines with a surprised
look on your face. You read it here.
Have a fun April Fool’s Day and a
Joyous Easter to you all!

Men’s Golf
BY DICK GILBERG
Look for some forward changes in
the tees in the next month or two. There’s
been a lot of talk recently about playing
the ball forward--as in forward tees--to
improve our enjoyment of the game and
to make is possible to play longer as we
age gracefully. So, if you look forward, you
will spot an extra tee on some of the holes.
They will be temporary for a while and if
they’re successful will be made permanent.
Mark is talking to a design consultant on
where and how to position them so that
they fit in with the general layout of the
course. And if successful, they will be rated
for both men and women.
The drought has further reaching
effects than we thought. During the
winter months, we use potable water on
the course; during the summer we use
reclaimed water. The reason: A federal
law that requires that no reclaimed water
gets into the creeks and streams! Because
of the drought, the city is concerned that
our lakes could leak into the streams. The
upshot might be that we have to drain our
lakes. Jim Ferrin thinks he can convince
the city that there’s no problem. Hopefully
it’s resolved by the time you read this.
After a lot of confusion on the first
tournaments, things are settling into a
normal pattern… the Spring Fling will
again be directed by Ed Van Patten and
Rich Johnson. I’m not sure if they will use
the Great Card Game format again, but
I sure hope so. It’s a great game. If you
haven’t signed up yet, you can do so at the
General Meeting on April 2. Remember,
it at the Pines now.
Later in the month, Friday April 25
to be precise, we have the putting contest.

Golden Niners
BY JOSEPH CAMPAGNA
This is a contest where everybody is a
winner! If you don’t win money, you can
still get your fill of pizza and beer while
watching the contest proceed. And the
contest can get exciting, especially when
the final two go into sudden death like
they did last year. BTW: it has happened
that a 20-something handicapper has won
the contest, so everybody has a chance.
Speaking of tournaments, Paul
Regnier needs a couple of replacements
for tournaments later in the year. If you’ve
never done one, it’s really a lot of fun (lot
of work too, but then anything worth while
is). If you’d like to give it a shot, talk to Paul
or give him a call. To get the inside scoop,
talk to the current tournament directors.
Next month’s Central Valley Seniors
CVS tournaments are Cameron Park on
May 5 and El Macero on May 19. Sign
up with Ernie Bell or Martin Wolf at the
General Meeting or you can sign up on
the sheet in the Club Room.
The holes in one keep rolling in… on
April 22, our president, Ed Schmitz got his
second one in the last year, this time on
hole 16. In the last year, four of the Council
members have made a hole in one. Looks
like there’s something positive about being
on the Council. If you get invited to join
them this year, you should say yes.

Tuesday evenings are also a fun time.
A variety of different games continue

Play also starts at 6:30. Is that why skill is
increasing among some players?
Don’t forget the women’s only play
on Monday morning at 9:00 am. Lets keep
the women’s force going.
Men’s 8 Ball and 9 Ball tournaments
are on the first and third Tuesdays at 12

which is returned to the displaced high
hand holder.

SCR Writer — A Tonsorial Tale
BY FRANK HOPKINS
I can’t really recollect much about my very
first tonsus, but that’s where this tale begins.
“Tonsus”? Oh that’s just Latin for haircut. (You
see I had to take Latin in high school twice
just to get a ‘C-minus’, and I’m determined
to make people believe I actually learned it.)
But, back to haircuts. I can still remember
my mother giving me a haircut a few days before
my first day of school. She wielded a pair of
scissors that might have been made way back
when…when Latin was a commonly spoken
language. Those poor old scissors were so
worn that the dull cutting blades slid loosely
over each other, cutting, perhaps, half the hair
that passed between them. I worried that at
some point my hair would get jammed (again)
between those blades. Owie! No wonder my
mother kept telling me to “Sit still!”
Good fortune finally came my way when
my aunt, who lived a few blocks away, told my
mother of a fellow neighbor, Mr. Wilson, who
was a semi- retired barber. She said he had
created a one-chair barbershop in his living
room and for the princely sum of fifty-cents
he’d give a first-class haircut. That sounded
good to my mother. Her scissors were probably
happy too.
As a child I went with my father once
when he took his car to the repair shop. I was
fascinated with the wide stainless steel ‘post’
that magically came out of the floor and lifted
the car high enough for the mechanic to work
on it. With no other point of reference, I just
assumed that the post must have gone at least
ten feet down into the ground, where it stayed
until needed. So, when I had my first visit to
Mr. Wilson, and the barber chair went ‘up-upup’ several feet as he used his foot to ‘pump’
it up, I thought, ‘Wow! He put a hole in his
living room floor so the lifting pole could go
down into the basement when he was through.”
I had no idea that it was a hydraulic illusion.
The ‘lifting pole’ was actually several large
concentric steel ‘sleeves’, each just a foot high
right under the chair. They allowed the chair
to go ‘up and down’ thanks to an invisible
hydraulic system. There was no ‘solid’ steel
pole, and, certainly, no ‘hole in the floor’. The
sleeves just telescoped, extending as needed
and collapsing as the chair went down. But, at
6, I didn’t have a clue.
If nothing else, our family was great at
growing hair. By the time Mr. Wilson was
through with me, there was enough of mine
on the floor to stuff a small pillow. Then came
his finishing touches.
First he used a fine-toothed electric hair
trimmer to clean up the short hairs on the
back of my neck. Noisy as it was, it actually
kinda’ tickled a little bit. The downside came
later when I realized that all those tiny clipped
hairs reflexively had nested themselves into
the fabric of my shirt collar and the top of my
T-shirt. Itchy, itchy, itchy!
Before I was to step out of the barber
chair, there were a couple more procedures
that marked Mr. Wilson as an ‘old fashioned’
barber. I was about to take a step into the
tonsorial past.
First, he slipped his right hand into a pair
E S U LT S
of spring-like straps to secure what looked like
a black motor from an electric table fan. He
secured it to the back of his hand, and snapped
the on switch. Turns out, it wasn’t a motor at
all. It was ‘vibrator’, and he ran it over my
shoulders and the back of my neck, creating
the effect of a kind of shoulder massage. It
felt wonderful.
Finally, he splashed a generous dash of
thin cologne onto his palms, and then briskly
ran them upward through my hair to distribute
it, immediately combing my hair into place
afterwards.
Letting me have a glance into his handheld mirror, he said, “There you go” and
the magic chair started smoothly gliding
downward. I was still six, but I felt a lot more
grown up than I had twenty minutes before.
As I matured, my thick hair got even
thicker. Mr. Wilson had passed away so I
found another low cost barber. This one said
my hair was so thick he had to use thinning
shears to get it under control. Remember
wiffles, crew cuts, and brush cuts? That was
my High School tonsorial ‘look’. No wonder
I had trouble getting dates.
One haircut I’ll never forget was my
air force induction haircut just before basic
training. It was over in 5 minutes and I looked
like a hapless refugee from a concentration
camp. I vowed I’d never get a haircut like
that again. When I was on Armed Forces TV
overseas, the base commander complained
that my hair was too long, but my master
sergeant stood up for me and convinced the
commander that I had to leave it that long so
on TV it would look consistent from week to
week. Bless you, sarge.
It’s hard for me to believe, but, by my
own computation, based on a haircut every
two weeks, at my age I must’ve had close to
seventeen hundred haircuts, most of them
forgettable. But I’ll never forget Mr. Wilson
and his fifty-cent ‘First Class’ haircut. It’s one
of those little landmark events that kinda’ stick
in your mind. How can you forget your primo
tonsus? (That’s Latin for first haircut. Aren’t
you impressed?

More Observations on This and That
BY MARTIN GREEN
There have been a number of books
written lately and even some newspaper
articles about how expensive our higher
education has become and whether the
expense is worth it. What’s brought this
question up, I suspect, is the enormous
college loans that many graduates have
racked up and the scarcity of jobs for these
graduates. So you have all these young
people who’ve gone into debt and have
nothing to show for it, not to mention their
parents who I’m sure in most cases put out
the money for their college expenses (and
now have their 20-something kids back living
with them).
The simple answer to the question of
whether higher education is worth the cost
is: of course not. Even back in my day we
college students knew this. When, after
two years we had to choose our majors, we
got together to talk our decisions and most
of us were ready to leave the ivy halls and
enter the “real world,” whatever that was.
We’d had enough of sitting in classrooms,
listening to lectures, writing papers and all
the rest of that stuff. As I recall, none of
us followed our natural instinct and actually
left. The reason again was simple: we
knew that having that piece of paper (the
diploma) was necessary to get the kind of
job we wanted. For students like myself, the
first in my family to go to college, a diploma
was a necessity. Many others I knew put off
going into the real world after four years
of college by going on to law school, thus
saddling the most litigious nation with even
more lawyers, or to graduate school, giving
us even more professors.
The difference between then and now
is that college costs hadn’t gone completely
out of sight then. So it was okay to spend
those four years doing nothing productive
and at least it gave us a little more time to
gain some maturity before being turned
loose. With today’s ridiculous costs there’s
no excuse for wasting those four (or more)
years, especially as, if what I read about
college nowadays, it’s a four-year vacation
devoted to sex and partying. My solution,
again simple: end the requirement for
college degrees for all jobs. I believe Google
has already done this, preferring dropouts
to graduates. Also, reduce time spent in
college from four to two years. For those
who want to become engineers, scientists,
doctors and even lawyers, they can go on to
advanced degrees. Form a national panel of
ruthless cost-cutters who’ll examine all the
goodies college have loaded themselves up
with as well as all those administrators and
all the inflated salaries and get the expense of
a college education (for two years) down to
some reasonable size. And let’s end tenure,
in the bargain. Why should college faculty
be a privileged class?
Come to think of it, those faculty,

and the administrators, have even more
to answer for. When the young people of
the 1960’s began their revolt against the
“establishment,” which meant against all
the old moral values of our society, college
students were at the forefront and college
campuses were the first battlefields. If
administrators and faculty had stood their
ground then the revolution might have been
stopped or at least blunted. As we know,
with some exceptions, they caved in. So
now we have a society of self-indulgence
where everything goes, drug use is okay
(see the start of marijuana legalization),
grade school kids start sexting, our media
and entertainment venues are saturated
with sex and violence, also obscenity, and
there’s Miley Cyrus.
Why did the colleges cave in to their
protesting students? I suspect it was because
they realized that it was all a fraud, that all
they were doing was providing a place for
them to mark time for four or more years.
For this, they were getting nice fat stipends,
all kinds of perks and on top of that were
able to pose as educators. As stated before,
even back in my pre-historic today we
knew this was all a pretence. So, when the
students protested with all kinds of ridiculous
demands they quickly gave in and so were
able to keep their gravy train rolling.
Okay, enough of that. Let’s move on
to another looming threat to our peace
and tranquility. I thought that the next
presidential election was almost three years
away. This is bad enough, but now it seems
it’s already started. Hillary Clinton is all over
the news. Hillary Clinton? Can Bill be far
behind? Wasn’t eight years of the Bill and
Hillary show enough? Are we going to have
to endure another election campaign trying
to figure out Hillary’s changing hairstyles?
Are we going to have to re-visit Monica
Lewinsky? What I’d like to see in our next
president is some plain-spoken, down-toearth guy who means it when he says “The
buck stops here.” And how about a rule that
the next president is someone who didn’t go
to Harvard or Yale? The only good thing
about looking ahead to 2016 is that by then
Miley Cyrus’s day will probably be over
and everyone will be able to zone out with
legalized marijuana.
Faithful readers know that Observations
usually tries to steer clear of controversial
matters and the above may be considered
by some to fall into that category. To
come: Observations on global warming,
Obamacare and how to handle Putin. Just
kidding. Or not.
