Franklin’s “Ghost Ship” Sets Sail
BY LINDA LUCCHETTI
Many veterans have war
stories to tell. But, some have
stories they are prohibited from
telling -- tales that haunt them
throughout their lives, even after
they are discharged from the
service and return home to their
families and jobs. Ed Franklin,
a former U.S. Marine, is one of
these.
For 42 years, Ed kept secret
the details about the two-years
he served as part of an elite
U.S. Marine Corps nuclear
security detachment aboard the
USS Curtiss (AV-4), a seaplane
tender, commissioned in 1940.
After World War II, the ship
was converted by the Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC) into
a floating lab which assisted with 33 atomic
tests. Ed was on seven of these tests.
Now, Ed’s story – about his life and
personal experiences (including information
which was declassified in 1996 by the
government agencies during the
post war years.
Ed, who was born in
Vacaville, Calif., and Maxine,
his wife of 55 years, are 10year residents of Sun City
Roseville. A savvy and quick
conversationalist, so much so
that he was nicknamed, “Fast
Eddy” in high school, he is a
storyteller at heart and says, “I
like to make people smile.” He
is ready and willing to discuss the
years before, during and after his
time onboard the USS Curtiss,
much of which is outlined in
his book.
Ed’s father was in the Navy,
stationed on ships during World
War I and World War II, and

Maintaining a Clear, Safe and
Beautiful Roseville
BY PAUL CAMILLERI, City of Roseville
Senior Code Enforcement Inspector
Maintaining a clean, safe and beautiful
environment for all our citizens is the goal
of the municipal, zoning and building codes
adopted by the Roseville City Council.
Our enforcement program works
with residents, neighborhood associations,
businesses and all our city departments to
bring about voluntary compliance in a fair and
unbiased manner. Most issues are remedied
quickly without need for punitive measures.
We rely on our citizens to help by notifying
us of problems and concerns in the city, such
as graffiti, unkept or dangerous buildings or
property, and illegally dumped garbage.
The most common types of complaints
we receive are nuisance, zoning and building
code violations. Broadly defined, a nuisance
is something that is a potential cause of
injury, offensive to the senses or obstructs
free property. Private signs placed in the
public right-of-way (like sidewalks, streets,
easements, center medians or any other area
owned by the city) are also a violation of city
ordinances and can be removed by the city.
Filing a report can be done by phone or on
our website. You can call our 24 hour hotline
at 774-5501. On our website (www.roseville.
ca.us<http://www.roseville.ca.us>), choose
the “Report” tab from the choices on the top
of the page and then choose the situation that
best suites your needs.
For animal control questions and
complaints, you can also call 774-5090. To
report after hours noise complaints, call the
Roseville Police Department’s non-emergency
phone number, 774-5000. If you have questions
about the city’s sign regulations, call 774-5276.

SCRCA Principal At Risk?
Some members of our current Board of
Directors have expressed a desire to invest a
portion of our Association reserves/savings in
securities that do not guarantee preservation of
capital. Their purpose, however meritorious, is
to increase income from our reserves thereby
reducing the upward trend of homeowner
assessments. The little bit of additional income
that might be realized from such investments
which risk losses to capital or principal (the
amounts invested) just isn’t worth the risk.
The losses could significantly exceed the added
income because of market ups and downs.
We are very concerned with some of the
possible changes implied by this stated desire
of these Board members. Before the time
is reached when the Board can actually act
on any changes to investment strategies, we
believe it important to make our strongly felt
views known to the community. Eight of us
previous nine presidents of SCRCA Boards
whose names are listed below have already
expressed these views in a letter to the Finance
Committee that was forwarded to the Board.
We cited the possible consequences of this or
any other Board failing to fully protect our
reserves.
The ninth former president, John
Raniseski, currently Chair of the Finance
Committee, recently stated that he also favors
protecting our principal, with concern that we
grow our reserves in the best manner available
while doing that.
In our letter we eight former presidents
expressed our unanimous opposition to any
change in the long standing practice (since
inception of Sun City Roseville) of following
the clear intent of our governing document
provisions by investing our reserves ONLY
in securities that fully protect the amount
invested.
Our reserves consist primarily of the

Restaurants
BY MARTIN GREEN
Michele McEwen e-mailed: “A lunch
buddy and I ate at the new Rum Thai Bistro
, 880 Sterling Parkway #20 (in the Raley’s
parking lot). We were greeted at the door with
friendly faces and seated by Pon (owner/host)
who told us the restaurant (served) authentic
Thai food. We were immediately offered a
beverage while we perused the menu. There
is quite an extensive menu, and beer and wine
are offered. My friend and I settled on the
luncheon green chicken curry with rice. We
were brought a wonderful salad with lettuce
and a delicious peanut sauce. Our meals came
quite fast and we were both surprised at the
amount of food.
“Everything was fresh and crunchy, with
vegetables ranging from fresh green beans,
zucchini, eggplant, fresh basil, bamboo shoots
and several others. The sauce was very good
and Pon explained that it could be made from
mild to hot-hot-hot. We ate every bit of our
lunch and then were presented with a lovely
dessert of tapioca, coconut cream and mango.
The whole experience was a positive one and
we would highly recommend it. All of the above
is $7.95. Be sure and ask for the 15% discount
and free refill when you order a Thai iced tea.
The restaurant is closed on Sundays and the
phone # is 543-7300. Be sure and ask for Pon.
Thanks so much for writing your articles and
know we always look forward to reading about
new places to eat.”
Always glad to get a report on an eating
place in the Lincoln area. In January, I began
to review some notable restaurants of
the past year. Some readers may recall
that Sacramento once had a good Greek
restaurant named (no surprise) Zorba’s.
Zorba’s is long gone but one of our readers
discovered a Greek place called Opa! Opa!
at 5644 J Street, close to Sacramento State.
It has many of the traditional Greek dishes--spanakopita, dolmathes, falafel and a variety
of kabobs---also gyros and pitas. The phone
number is 451-4000. Closer, we do have
what’s kind of a fast food Greek eating place,
Daphne’s, which Beverly and I like, either to
eat there when we’re shopping in the area or
to take out. We usually get their kabob plate,
beef or chicken, which comes with rice, salad
and pita bread. Daphne’s also offers one of
our favorite desserts, baklava. It’s at 10357
Fairway Drive. The phone number is 772-3997.
We have a number of Italian restaurants
in our area. We had a report on one a little
farther away, Fabian’s, at 11755 Fair Oaks
Boulevard. Fabian’s has all of the traditional
Italian dishes. The phone number is 536-9891.
One Italian restaurant that Beverly and I have
been to several times, but have neglected lately,
is Il Fornaio, in the Galleria. Jim Costello,
who discovered the ASR Restaurant and
Lounge reviewed last month and who knows
restaurants, now tells me that he thinks Il
Fornaio is the best Italian place we have. Il
Fornaio is known for its authentic Italian dishes
and, in keeping with this, the menu is in Italian;
fortunately, the dishes are described in English.
The menu is extensive and seems to include
entrees not served in other Italian restaurants.
I was struck, for example, by their Scallopini Al
Carciofi Limone, which is thinly-pounded veal
with sliced fresh artichoke hearts and lemon,
Yukon Gold potatoes and vegetables. When
Beverly and I go there again, that’s what I’ll
order. As those who read last month’s column
know, Jim’s taste tends to high-scale (and
higher-priced) eating places, and Il Fornaio,
like ASR, falls into that category.
In my rundown of breakfast places I didn’t
mention is Denny’s at 5181 Foothill Boulevard.
Beverly and I were just there (we had a coupon)
and as usual had breakfast although it was at
lunchtime. Of interest to seniors, Denny’s has
a 55+ menu and gives 15% off for AARP card
holders. Denny’s of course is open 24 hours a
day and their dinner fare includes an item even
Il Fournaio doesn’t have, Brooklyn spaghetti
and meatballs. In keeping with today’s health
awareness, they offer a number of “Fit Fare
Selections.” At the other end of the spectrum,
they have milk shakes, sundaes and banana
splits. Kids eat free there on Tuesdays and
Saturdays, 4-10 PM. The phone number is
771-3658. I did mention the Waffle Barn at
Roseville Boulevard and Pleasant Grove. On
a recent visit we discovered Waffle Barn is
offering a free dessert with their lunch items,
which doesn’t include waffles.
Our Let’s Eat Out (LEO) group recently
went to the lunch buffet at the Thunder Valley
casino. While the buffet is not up to Las Vegas
standards I’d say it’s good value for the price,
which is under $10, less with a senior discount.
Beverly usually has their turkey, with stuffing
and other fixings, and likes their bread pudding.
I get their hush puppies, which I haven’t found
elsewhere, and their cheesecake to go with my
coffee. Warnings: (1) although the casino has
smoke filters people sensitive to smoke may be
bothered; and (2) you play their slot machines
at your own risk.

We are making great progress on this fiscal
year’s projects. The Timber Lodge parking lot
repair and reseal project is currently out to bid
with the 8 to 10 week project being started in
late April or early May. We are looking for a
ten plus year solution to alleviate cracking,
make changes to our older ADA parking
and install water mitigation measures. Please
keep an eye out for future updates because it
will affect your trips to the Lodge; but we will
remain open throughout the project.
On another note, work is still underway
on the review of our individual committee
guidelines and plans have been made for
continued recruitment of volunteers through
various new programs designed to promote
individual resident involvement. We have
completed the review of the Association’s
Purchasing policy under the guidance of our
Finance Committee. The committee also
continues their work on the update of our
Banking and Investment policy and recently
completed a risk assessment analysis. The
Reserve Study work group is also well underway
on reviewing various issues associated with
keeping our Reserve Fund healthy for future
projects. Recommendations for any changes
from the committee will be addressed at
upcoming Board meetings in the near future.
Another policy change having to do
with allowing artificial turf for our front
lawn landscaping needs is currently before
the Board for their consideration. Be on the
lookout for any future announcements from
our Architectural Review Committee who will
give us the details of any possible changes.
Various energy conservation projects are
moving forward for approval including the
replacement of the lighting elements for the
Lodge and Sierra Pines’ parking lot lighting
with LED lighting. Also included in this project
is the replacement of the interior light bulbs
for the Lodge with LED lighting as well. Both
of these energy conservation projects are
expected to reduce our energy use by 70%
and with an ROI of less than 5 years; including
rebates from Roseville Electric. The Solar
Energy Pilot Program review will probably
result in the recommendation of adding solar to
the Sierra Pines building and may be a project
included in next year’s budget.
The interior of the Timbers Lodge is due
for a ten year update in February 2016 and work
is already underway. Extensive research and
investigation is beginning with the selection
of a commercial interior designer to work
with the Board’s Special Purpose committee.
Their recommendations will be reviewed by the
Board; with members from both the Properties
and Finance Committees being included on
the committee. Presentations on the proposed
expansion of the Timbers Restaurant and
Lounge will begin this month. Be sure to attend
one or more of the presentations to get the
Neighborhood Watch/Citizens Patrol
BY P. J. CONRADI
We Do Need You in Citizens Patrol and
Bring a Friend —
Yes, I am recruiting. Did you know the
commitment we seek is one night per month
for two ½ hours? Please read on to learn more
about the Citizens Patrol program.
Last month, I addressed the value of your
Neighborhood Watch program. And it is your
program, not mine. Each of you is the first line
of defense, in that you, as individuals, friends
and neighbors, who are usually the first to
discover something amiss, and more important,
the first to take preventive measures. Well,
your sister program, Citizens Patrol, is all
about preventive measures.
The mission of Citizens Patrol/
Neighborhood Watch:
• Keep people safer
• Keep crime down
• Keep property values up
Citizens Patrol is aligned to the mission
with our three primary purposes.
First, we provide a high visibility deterrent.
Sun City has earned, and we try diligently to keep,
a reputation as a community with its eyes open.
Delivery people, contractors, gardeners, and so
on, see us drive around and the word spreads.
Bad guys do not like to operate in neighborhoods
where people have been trained to know what
to look for and how to call the police.
Second, we try to minimize opportunity,
such as open garage doors. Thieves can jump
information that you will need to vote on the
project in July. This committee in particular
has worked very hard to make all the facts
available on this exciting opportunity.
Future updates on these projects are
provided on the Resident Web Site through the
Project Summary Report. Also, excitement is
already building for our week long celebration
to commemorate our community’s 20 Year
Anniversary in May 2016. Please plan on
joining us in the celebration and in the
meantime, enjoy your Community each day.
inviting to a thief, yours, or Whistlestop Way?
Third, we look for suspicious people or
vehicles. When we see them, we call the police.
We do not approach or question anyone, or
in any manner put Citizen Patrol volunteers
in harm’s way. We observe and report only.
If you are considering joining us, please
call between 8:00 and Noon so we can answer
your questions.

Box Tops? Who knew that our saving box
tops and bringing them to the Lodge Office
would make such a difference to the teachers
and the schools?
Nancy Schmitz sorts them and distributes
the box tops to each of our schools, who
turn them in for money to buy much needed
supplies. The teachers in many cases purchase
paper, pencils, art supplies, etc., out of their
own pockets.
Thanks for your box top contributions!

Compliance Committee
BY JANET PENCE
We Live in a Beautiful Community — If
you have lived in Sun City for any length of time
you have heard or read that phrase numerous
times. How we achieve that look requires ALL
of us to do our part in maintaining our homes
and yards. Take a minute and look at the front
of your home and yard. Would your house
look better with a new coat of paint? How
about freshening up your landscape, a few new
plants or bark to hide the irrigation lines that
might be showing. Refer to Design Guidelines
Appendix G for hints on plants and where they
should be planted. Please remember all major
landscape revisions require ARC approval.
The Compliance Committee will be
canvassing the community in March so help us
to maintain the look of this community by doing
your part and start your new projects before
it gets to warm. Questions, please call Lorri
Booth, the Community Standards Director
at 774-3869 or Ryan O’Connell at 774-3863.
Website Work Group
BY CHARLYN ROSS
Always Working To Improve Our
Website — It seems to be a human trait, to
always seek to improve on what we have.
We are experiencing such changes every day
to our telephones, televisions, automobiles,
appliances, cosmetics, hearing aids, foods,
almost everything we consume, use, or need
every day. Some of the improvements are
apparent. Others are behind-the-scenes, such
as clarity of phone communication, better
packaging to provide longer shelf life, or faster
Internet transmission.
As improvements in Internet technology
have occurred, our Association’s IT
(Information Technology) Staff has begun
to evaluate how these improvements may be
of use to us. It was determined that we had
outgrown what our current website hosting
service could provide. There are other hosting
services that furnish improved performance,
allow for additional features, have a faster
response, and provide a platform for greater
expansion. In light of this, a decision has
been made to transfer our Resident Websites,
www.suncityresident.com, to another hosting
service.
The website would retain its current
look, though some of the sub-menus may be
appropriately relocated. The addition of an
efficient “search” feature on the main screen,
will make it more convenient to locate website
information quickly. For instance, to look up a
resident’s address or phone number, one could
enter the resident’s name in the search field.
The IT Staff will keep all residents

informed via email as to when this change is to
take place and any action they may need to take.
Our Resident Website will continue to be the
go-to-place for Sun City Roseville information,
but it will be more effective because we can take
advantage of these improvements in Internet
communication.
Go Ahead And Brag —
Isn’t this a common scenario? You are
on a trip with a new group of people or at
an event somewhere away from your home,
and someone, trying to make conversation,
asks you, “So, where do you live?” When you
answer Sun City Roseville, their response is
usually, “Where is that?
You begin by describing where the city of
Roseville is located. You continue by explaining
Sun City Roseville is an active adult community
where you own your home and property, but
have all the amenities you could ask for in one
place. You continue by describing all the City’s
conveniences that surround your home—the
library, dog park, softball fields and aquatic
facility, shopping, regional mall, and two major
hospitals are all within easy access. Then, you
explain that we are only a couple of hours from
skiing areas in the east and San Francisco and
the California wine country in the west, with the
State Capitol, Sacramento, in between. Rather
than trying to remember all the positives of
living in Sun City Roseville, you might find it
easier to suggest the other person check out
our Public Website, www.suncityroseville.org.
On the Home page, below the welcome
note, is the Sun City Roseville video, which in
five minutes describes the wonderful life style
and events such as the Parking Lot Sale and
Holiday Luncheon. The Chairperson of
Hospitality works with the VP of Operations
in organizing and arranging the refreshments
for events. If you’re interested in applying,
please call Betty Melton at 784-1666.
Errands And Shopping: Betty Melton,
Sunshine Services President, has received
several requests for details about the Errands
and Shopping program. As a Sunshine
member, one of her favorite activities is
shopping for residents who need a little extra
help. “There are about ten of us who love to
shop,” she says. “This is a no fee service. All
you will need is a shopping list that indicates
any specific brands you prefer as well as enough
cash to cover the cost of the purchases. Cash
is preferred because a personal check could
create a problem for your shopper. No riders
are allowed.”

SSN Gardening Corner —
My Favorite Plants
BY GEORGE PORTER
As you might suspect, I get a lot of
questions from people about what plant
or plants I would use in different – usually
difficult – situations.
Our climate, here, is hostile to plants when
you remember that summer temperatures
climb into the 110-degree range, fierce winds
are no stranger, and winter frosts play havoc
with some of our favorite plants. In addition,
our soil in most locations is very hard which
creates a challenge for all plants that require
good drainage. Despite these realities, my
favorite plants, below, generally look good
all year; those that bloom are good at it; and
even if they require some maintenance – are
clearly worth it. Every Rose you can think of
requires maintenance, but all of them from
the Carpet Roses to the Hybrid Teas are worth
the effort here.
Favorite Ground Covers:
Ajuga. Ideal in heavy soils where drainage
is slow because they LOVE water.
Emerald Carpet Manzanita. Prefers dry
conditions but needs occasional water when
young.
Miniature Ice Plant. Also drought
tolerant but needs blankets on cold winter
nights.
Creeping Junipers. ‘Wiltoni’ is a nice blue
one and ‘Prince of Wales’ is a good green one.
Needle Nose Ivy. Easier to control than
the larger ivy plants that I don’t recommend.
Candytuft. We use this ground cover on
both sides of the walkway leading to our house.
Favorite Small Shrubs:
Peter Pan (Dwarf) Agapanthus. This
one blooms in summer when most plants are
exhausted.
California Poppy. This guy is a master
at throwing its seeds everywhere. So, beware
of this!
Radicans (Dwarf) Gardenia. These are
pretty hardy once established and always
look good.
Creeping Rosemary. Lots of winter blue
blossoms that bees adore. Almost care free.
Nandina. Our two favorites in this family
are ‘Fire Power’ and ‘Gulf Stream’. Forget
the others.
Euonymus Fortunei. “Emerald Gaiety’
is green & white. ‘Emerald ‘n’ Gold’ is green
& yellow.
Favorite Larger Shrubs:
Camellia. I’ve never known a plant with
so many options when it comes to blossoms!
Escallonia Fredesi. Blooms are
understated but this is one of the best
foundation plants.
Rhaphiolepis – Indian Hawthorn. Enjoy
a sea of pink blossoms each Spring.
Sun Azalea. The large flowers are a joy
in Spring and are often prolific.
Pyracantha. Beautiful Spring white
flowers and bright red berries in Winter. Wow!
Golden Euonymus. This handsome shrub
in sun produces lots of yellow foliage.
Oleander. This ‘freeway plant’ is easy
to maintain. The white ‘Sister Agnes’ is the
largest.
Black Stem Pittosporum. This handsome
plant gets very large – makes a great screen.
Favorite Small Trees:
Improved Meyer Lemon. Prolific
perennial that tolerates most frost and yields
great fruit!
Japanese Maple. High Hand Nursery in
Loomis is a display arboretum for these trees.
Crape Myrtle. This is really a shrub that
is shaped to be a tree. Lots of color choices.
Dogwood. This beautiful tree can be
grown here, not just in Georgia. It’s worth
it, too!
Arbutus Marina. This evergreen provides
year around interest - plus a red trunk.
Chinese Pistache. Compound leaves and
beautiful fall foliage are key features here.
Gingko Biloba. This tree has the best
yellow fall color. It can eventually get very tall.
Favorite Larger Trees:
We’ve had Redwoods – 12 of them in fact
– and all are now removed! We enjoyed an
October Glory Red Maple which is now gone,
also. We removed these large trees because
they were too thirsty – stealing water from the
plants around them. They, and many others,
like the Oaks, are fine plants – but they need
room and they need water and they come
with certain hazards such as blowing over in a
storm. So, my list of Favorite Larger Trees is
‘empty’. Do yourself a favor and avoid them
unless your property is very large.
George Porter directed the landscaping and
landscape maintenance work for over 20-years at the
Northgate Property Owners Association in Walnut
Creek, CA before moving to Sun City Roseville
(SCR) in 1999. At SCR, he has worked with various
staff specialists to provide the landscape designs and
upgrades to the Common Areas as well as a number
of Golf Course locations. At his SCR home, he grows
almost all of the plants used in his designs. His home
and garden have been featured on a number of local
home/garden tours.
Sun City Singers
BY JACKIE PROETT
It’s March and the color is GREEN!
The Rain Dances worked! The driest
January on record had us wending our
way down that brown garden path. But our
February Cupid shot some holes in clouds
and Voila! Green is back. We don’t care if
you install artificial turf in your planters!
Real grass is real Green! Just in time for
March 17th. Saint Patrick is beaming!
And like St. Patty, The Singers are
beaming at our pocketful of music. Every
song pulls a special memory out of the
air, like magic. Our June 1st. concert will
have the audience wanting to sing along.
These Musical Memories belong to us
all. Wish we could tell the title now, but
April will be the great unveiling. If you
love getting in on the “know” early, join
the Performance Committee. Ideas and
suggestions for costumes, choreography,
scenery, etc. belong to that auspicious
Group. Chairman, Ruth Berger, will
welcome all who are ready to dig in.
You might feel a little Green about
joining a new Organization, but the
Singers will make you feel comfortable
right away. Ask Marla Shuman, new
resident, who sat in on a rehearsal and
decided to stay. She’ll add her Tenor notes
to that section. Welcome, Marla!
You might be filling up on Corned
Beef and Cabbage and Green Beer on
the 17th. You might be singing, “When
Irish Eyes Are Smiling”, but if you want
to fill up on the Green of a new life
filled with music, sing with us. We meet
every Thursday at 2:30 at the back of the
Ballroom. You have plenty of time to learn
the music before Concert time. On your
mark, get set. Go Green!

Harmonicoots
BY JOAN REGO
By a unanimous vote, the Coot’s
Board of Directors took action to retire
the title of “Head Coot”. Early in February
they met at the home of Bud and Jennifer
where Bill Hartman presented Bud with a
special Coots’ shirt, forever declaring him
“Bud Gardner, Head Coot Emeritus“.
This was a well deserved honor as founder
of the Harmonicoots as well as for his ten
years of unsurpassed guidance, direction,
inspiration and tireless service. Ethel
Nihei presented Jennifer with a bouquet
of flowers as she has added her many gifts
and talents to further the Harmonicoots.
Well done Bud and Jennifer, what a team!
On January 16, the Coots’ Ensemble
once again entertained the folks at Sierra
Pointe on Foothills Blvd. in Roseville.
The Coots always enjoy this type of venue
knowing how music brings back many
precious memories. Most residents sang
along as we played those timeless tunes
we all love. There were many wonderful
solo’s and group songs, too many to
mention each. Near the close of the show
Bud Walker played “Sierra Swing” for the
residents at Sierra Point.
Our focus now turns to our next
Jamboree, scheduled for Tuesday, May
12, 2015. We are excited by the music
committee’s selections for the show that
will include some fun western songs, as
well as solos, group acts, and quartet.
Thanks to the committee for their time
and effort and a big thank you goes out to

SCR Dance
BY GENE BALLARD
Bill Swayne has taught a Sun City
Beginning Line Dance Class since 1995. If
you know your Sun City history you’ll say
“How could that be? The Lodge wasn’t
finished until 1996”. Those first classes
were held at the Heritage Oak Elementary
School in Roseville.
As a teaching aid, Bill has helpers he
calls “spotters” in the room so no mater
which direction the dance takes you there
is an experienced dance for all students
to follow.
Pictured are Bill and the class spotters.
From left to right are Bruce Oberlin, Ada
Grabeklis, Bill Swayne, Gerri Junso, Joyce
Sofranac and Jo Avalos. Not shown are
Charlie Baughman, Joye Konkel, Ann
White, and long time class rep Audrey
Andrews.
Dancing is what brought Bill and his
partner Ann White together. He met Ann
shortly after that first Sun City line dance
class started and they have worked as a
team ever since. For much of the time
that Bill taught the class he and Ann
didn’t live in Sun City. Only after Bill
retired from his job with Southern Pacific
Railroad in 2004 did he and Ann move to
Sun City. She is still working at the State
of California Employment Development
Department and is a spotter at the Tuesday
evening class.
Bill’s Level 1 class is on Tuesdays at
5:30 PM. It has proven to be so popular
that he has started a second class on
Thursdays at 2:15. Both classes are one
hour in length. The music selection is great
and everyone has a lot of fun.
If you are an experience line dancer
you will find you niche at our Level 2 or
Level 3 classes: Level 2 on Tuesdays at
1:15 with Sandy Gardetto and Level 3
on Tuesdays at 2:30 with Jeanie Keener.

Roseville Stamp Club
BY TIM MILES
We’re right at the start of the Spring
Stamp Show season and soon the various
shows will be held in the No. Calif. area.
Sac Convention Center, Burlingame
Marriot and places in-between are the
locations. They run thru the year and
feature timely displays of interesting facets
of our hobby, numerous collectors who we
get to know through the hobby, and, of
course, all of the various items involved
in the Philatelic hobby.
Linn’s Stamp News is a monthly
magazine that most collectors subscribe
to and they sell all the accoutrements of
the hobby. They are featuring the entire
7-volume Scott Catalogs for $399. Our
club maintains a current set of catalogs
which are available at our meetings for
free, to be used in pricing anything you
might want to buy or sell. Members can
avail themselves of their use anytime

the second and fourth Thursdays of the

starting at 6:30 pm. Grab your old album
or collection of stamps and drop by and

Members would be happy to answer
any questions you might have regarding
stamp collecting. You could also get a fairly
accurate appraisal of the value of your
collection, as they all increase over time.
One resident who attended discovered
that the little 4-stamp blocks of some
fairly common US stamps that he had
stuck away in the closet was now worth
considerably more than he ever imagined.
Undoubtedly, there are more examples
like that here in Roseville.

SCR Veterans Club
BY PAUL REGNIER
Welcome to March, the green month;
rain I hope, but on the 17th the shamrocks
will appear in many places and the “wearin
of the green” will be all around.
We all got our chance to have some
coffee and those wonderful, low calorie,
donuts (the ones with the holes in the
middle) before we started our meeting.
Our President was missing in action
so other officers took over.
We have been blessed with members
that have done so much throughout our
clubs history and just thinking about
changes are difficult. Two such changes
must be looked at now because those that
have carried the load for so long need our
help; Our Secretary, Harvey Schmidt,
must step down and our Treasurer, Ted
Parker, needs to be relieved of his tasks,
too. These two have done so much for
so long...it is time for us to help them and
ourselves. There was a saying and slogan
during WWII that said “ I NEED YOU”.
If you can help, there are members that
can ease with the transitions into these
jobs. Contact either our President, Bob
Schuermann or Mel Nosal, our Speaker
services director, for more info.
Our speaker for February was Col.
Marcia Van Wagner, from the U. S. Army
Nurse Corps, Ret. and she was beyond
wonderful. She told of and illustrated
her time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, while
serving as the head of nursing in a 1,000
bed hospital for our military wounded,
Saudi’s that were injured and POWs as
well. We heard of some of the difficulties
that had to be overcome just to help the
wounded...and there were many. We also,
were told of some Muslim traditions that
most of us never hear about. Other forms
of worship could not be shown, even the
wearing of an item that told a faith, such
as a cross or star of David or even blessing
a meal, was not tolerated at any time but
each day at 12 noon their world stops and
all Muslims faced East to pray to Allah.
This “one way” discipline greatly affected
the rolls of doctors and nurses in that
atmosphere, especially, women. I hope
we can get Col. Van Wagner back again
at a later time to speak.
Our next speaker, Jonn Melrose, of
the Placer County Veterans Service will
help bring us up to the present on our
benefits and recent changes. Come early
for this talk so extra chairs can be placed
if needed.
On a sad note, Taps were blown as we
learned of two Veteran members; Tommy
Thompson and Ray Goode, both of the
U. S. Air Force that have been called to
another duty. Veteran, non-members;
Bob Salentine, U. S. Army and Bob Davis,
U. S. Air Force also joined that bigger
formation.
A part of getting older is saying
goodbye but so is our duty to embrace
today with all we have to offer. Hug
those that you care about, often! Things
change. God Bless

Sun City Democrats
BY PEG HALL
Join us on March 25 at Sierra Pines
as we welcome back to our area Charlie
Brown, who has returned to Roseville after
a five-year absence. You will remember
Charlie as a friend to our club and a former
candidate. After losing his very close race
against Tom McClintock for the fourth
Congressional District in 2008, Charlie
and his wife moved to Washington DC
the following year and was appointed to a
position in the Department of Homeland
Security.
In his presentation, he will offer
his firsthand observations on politics in
Washington as well as give us perspectives
on local issues. Charlie is interested in a
discussion including your questions, so this
meeting will be an excellent opportunity
for audience participation.
If you would like to review a recent

Rods & Relics Car Club
BY ELNA RAGAN
After our Car Club breakfast on
Tuesday, February 10, many of us visited
the garages of three of our members who
are building new cars. At our first stop,
we saw a beautiful 1955 Chevy pickup
truck under construction. At the next
stop, we saw a stretched all steel 1929
Ford Pickup truck. Then we ventured
out into the country north of Lincoln to
a cabinet maker’s facility where work is in
progress on a member’s 1929 Ford Woody.
Everyone on the tour really enjoyed the
trip and is looking forward to our next
tour where we will check out the progress
that several other members are making
on their projects.
The Sacramento Autorama was
held at the State Fairgrounds over the
Presidents’ Day Weekend. Two of our
members entered their cars in the Butch
Gardner Clubhouse and had their cars on
display. A number of our members went to
the show to see the beautiful hot rods and
custom cars and to check out the vendors.
Mark your calendars for the two Rods
& Relics Car Shows that are scheduled in
June on Friday, the 5th at the Thunder
Valley Casino Resort and on Saturday, the
6th when the Downtown Lincoln Classic
Car Show is held on the tree-lined streets
of historic Downtown Lincoln. All Car
Show proceeds will go to these three local
charities: The Lighthouse Counseling &
Family Resource Center, Ride To Walk,
and the Down Syndrome Coalition.

SCR Birders
BY JANET MORELLI
The much-awaited scheduled field
trip to Cosumnes River Preserve was
cancelled at the last minute on January
15th due to the “pea soup” fog in Galt
and the associated hazardous driving
conditions. The visibility for our next
scheduled trip, to Gray Lodge Wildlife
Area on February 5th, was much improved
and allowed us to identify 31 avian species.
Our sightings included a “gazillion”
American Coots, a “bazillion” Snow
Geese and White Fronted Geese, and
Double Breasted Cormorants, Black
Phoebes, California Towhees, Bushtits,
and Tree Swallows.
Two scheduled bird trips are scheduled
for the month of March. On March 5th,
SCR Birders will visit the Vic Fazio
Wildlife Area in the Yolo Bypass between
Davis and Sacramento. This will be an
auto tour on the levee roads in the Area.
Birders will meet in the Timbers Lobby at
7:15 am (note change of time for months
March through May) to arrange carpools
for the trip. Afterwards, the Birders will
stop for lunch in Davis before returning
to Sun City. Bring your binoculars and
money for your lunch and carpool driver.
On Monday, March 16th, SCR
Birders will go to Sierra View Country
Club in Roseville. Although the Country
Club will be closed to golfers that day,
the assistant groundskeeper (and avid
birder) will catch up with our group to
let us know where some of our favorite
birds can be found on the course. Again,
we will meet in the lobby of the Timbers
at 7:15 am to share rides.
Check out the SCR Birders Group
web site at www.scres.org for the detailed
results of the 2014 Audubon Christmas
Bird Count in Sun City Roseville. The
web site also includes beautiful photos of
most of the birds found in Sun City and

walks and trips.

SUN SENIOR PROFILES Getting to know you...
Franklin’s “Ghost Ship” Sets Sail
– a date that he remembers well. He was
assigned to the Oakland Naval Station.
After befriending a Marine recruiter,
he signed up for what he believed was a twoyear stint. The Marines believed otherwise,
calling it a four-year commitment, not two.
After a compromise, the time limit was set
at three years. That was in 1953, toward the
end of the Korean War.
In the U.S. Marine Corps, Ed narrowed
down his career choices to three: air
controller, parachute rigger, or attendant in
Sea School where Marines are trained in the
ways of the Navy in order to serve onboard
ships. Already holding a security clearance
from the FBI when he worked at Travis Air
Force Base installing four fences around
the nuclear storage area, he was recruited
to serve on the Curtiss.
“The Ghost Ship” includes not only
Ed’s recollections aboard the flag ship for
the atomic tests, but also highlights some
remarkable facts about the USS Curtis
during World War II. For instance, on Dec.
7, 1941, while anchored near Pearl Harbor,
she shot down several Japanese planes;
she was one of the last ships to be hit by a
Kamikaze off Okinawa which in fact hit the
cabin of then Air Officer Lt. Henry Fonda,
prior to his acting career; and, in 1943 she
Ed Franklin

Ed Franklin — 1953
hosted Bob Hope and a USO troupe. The
book can be purchased on Amazon.com
or from Ed.
After serving in the Marine Corps,
Ed attended business school at Armstrong
College in Berkeley, Calif. and subsequently
went to work for General Motors in Oakland,
in the Chevrolet manufacturing division.
While in the accounting area, one of his
major clients was DuPont, the corporation
that provided the paint for the autos.
A memorable turn along Ed’s career
path came when he worked as a high
school history teacher and football coach
in Merced. He retired from his teaching
position after 12 years, but continues to
help young people today by serving as a
substitute teacher at Buljan Middle School
in Roseville.
“I’m a kid at heart and I get along well
with kids,” he boasts about his successful
tactics in working with troubled teens. “I like
to take the worst kid, and bring him up to be
the best,” he advocates. “If you can take a
kid, give him a set goals and some incentive,
you’ll never have a problem with him.”
Along with keeping up with his children
- two sons and a daughter, and his seven
grandchildren, much of Ed’s time is now
spent in conducting speaking engagements,
and advertising and distributing “The Ghost
Ship” which he wrote with contributions
from fellow Curtiss Marines.
The book’s bright orange cover,
adorned with an evocative mushroom
cloud, is sure to get double takes wherever
it appears. In fact, Ed believes the easiest
way for him to sell his book is simply to
carry a copy. You’d be surprised how many
people after just seeing the book want to
know more about it, he states.
At the end of the day, Ed sums up his
life proudly. “The three smartest things I
ever did were to marry Maxine, have Eddie,
Jeff and Sally, and serve in the Marines.”

Dee Franz comes up with some great ideas
to keep us on our toes. Last time I checked
there are some rooms available for the
Chico/Wildflower ride on April 26-28th,
check with Linda Fletcher or Bill Burger
to see if there is a place for you.
Quentin Miller and Susan Glover
are busy planning rides for 2015. If you
have an idea for a good trail or place to
ride, contact Susan or Quentin. Local
possibilities are riding from Davis to
Williams. Another is a ride around Davis.
And of course, riding from Roseville to the
train station in Loomis or to the Flower
Farm. So get your thinking caps on and
help Susan and Quentin.
Don’t forget our March 16th club
meeting at 8 am.

SCR Tennis Club
BY DALE MELLBERG
Well, spring is right around the corner,
and tennis is one of the activities that is
very popular here in Sun City. We have
well over 100 people in our club, and a lot
of hard working, and dedicated men and
woman who devote many hours to keep
everything running smoothly.
Ray Barnett, who keeps the courts
playable, Kathy Fowler, who oversees our
five tournaments that we have over the
year, Don Hug, who runs our Saturday
drop in tennis, Joe Campagna, for all
his hard work for his tennis league, and
Linda Gordon, our social chairperson for
our wonderful parties, of which we just
had this week, and again well done with
the help of Darren Hoskins for our liquid
refreshments that he so well oversees, and
to all the people who make sure that the
parties run smoothly.
A special thanks to Joe Lopez, Tom
Gonzales and others for cleaning and
rearranging our tennis shed, that was in
dire straits.
So, hope to see you all out on the
courts.

Table Tennis
BY KAREN YEATES
Thanks to all of you who willingly
sign up each month for being the room/
key monitors.
This month’s article refreshes us on
some basic rules of the game. A player
scores a point when an opponent fails to
make a legal return (hitting the ball off
the end OR side of the table, hitting into
the net or failing to make a good serve
into the correct quadrant of the table. A
game must be won by 2 points. A match
is the best two out of three games (or
any higher odd number of games). To
serve, you must stand at the end-line of
the table. The ball must be held in an
uncapped hand with the thumb free and
the fingers together and tossed up in the
air approximately 6 inches. The ball must
hit both sides of the table on a serve and
serves that nick the net but go over the
net must be done over - you do not lose
a point. There is no limit on the number
of serves you “retake” until it goes over
the net correctly. If you hit the ball before
it bounces on your side of the table, you
lose the point. If you move the table or
touch it with your non-playing hand, you
lose the point. You can use either white
or orange balls, but players using white
balls cannot wear white shirts and players
using orange balls cannot wear orange
shirts. The surface of the table tennis
paddle cover material should be bright
red on one side and black on the other.
There are 5 acceptable racket coverings –
inverted, pips-out, hard rubber, long pips,
and anti-spin. Sandpaper and plain wood
are sometimes used but are considered
illegal surfaces because they damage the
ball. Now, are we ready to play?

SCR Senior Softball Club
BY DAVID CASTEN
The excitement is building for the
2015 SCR Senior Softball season with
each winter practice. The practices are
held at Veteran’s Park each Monday and
Wednesday morning. Our club is on track
to open the season at Mahany Field’s 1
and 2 on April 1st. Mark your calendar!
We will have five teams with 12 players
on each team – with 10 players on defense
at a time.
Players are drafted by the managers
until team rosters are filled. The draft is
scheduled for late March after new player
workouts have been completed. When the
rosters are filled, there will be a pool of
players established to fill in when teams
are short players during league play.
So, if you are hankering for some
activity, throw in your glove to be included
in the 2015 SCR Senior Softball Season.
It is a lot of fun. Applications can be
obtained from the Kiosk in the main lobby
23
or by contacting President – Joe Hoban
at 899-5676 or Player Rep – Ken Miller
at 746-0709.

well know the hands to play, we have to
start all over learning new combinations; it
puts the newbies and old timers on equal
footing. Although we sometime complain
about the new hands, we have to remember
it takes the national committee about
four months to develop the new cards
each year so lots of thought goes into the
process. Developing the hands is as much
a challenge as learning to play them!
If interested in learning this wonderful
ancient game, we offer classes throughout
the year. Our next series is being taught
by Cindy Faulkner beginning in April; if
you’d like information please call her at
772-0682 as soon as possible and she may
still be able to fit you in. She can also tell
you all about Mah Jongg itself as she’s been

is Monday 12:30-3:30 and Friday 9-12 in

remember to enjoy the lovely flower

Friday Senior No-Tap
Weekly Bowling
BY PAT FISK
My friend, Judy, and I spend our Friday
mornings together with a cup of coffee,
a bowling ball and friends! Our Friday
Senior No-Tap Drop-In League at Strikes
Unlimited (5681 Lonetree Blvd., Rocklin)
is a bowl-and-socialize league tailored to
those who love to bowl but are looking for a
relaxed social atmosphere without a weekly
league commitment and just a light touch
of competition. 9-pins earn a strike and
sometimes some money, but always a good
time.
Currently we have a small group of
regulars who arrive Fridays between 9 and
9:40 am to check in with their $10 entry fee for
three 9-pin no-tap games of bowling. Fifteen
minutes of practice begins at 10am. We’re open
to all seniors (age 55 years or older) and no
USBC membership is required. We pay cash
prizes for high handicapped series in each
division (two women’s, two men’s). You’ll
also have your name entered for a Strike Ball
Challenge where a natural strike wins the pot
(currently $40) OR a 9-pin strike earns half the
pot. Please don’t be shy -- even a gutter ball
earns $5! The fun begins when you get here.
For more information, contact
• Judy Skaggs (swanprincess1@sbcglobal.
net or 916-209-9870) or
• Pat Fisk (plfisk300@gmail.com or 916434-0747).

Seniors Need to Know!
How Does the Aging Service Network Work for You?
BY KARLA GUSTAFSON - Adjunct Professor
Gerontology Department American River College
and Sacramento City College
In 1965, Congress enacted the Older
Americans Act, establishing a federal agency
and state agencies to address the social services
needs of the aging population. The mission of
the Older Americans Act is broad: to help older
people maintain maximum independence in
their homes and communities and to promote
a continuum of care for the vulnerable elderly.
In successive amendments, the Act created area
agencies on aging and a host of service programs.
The “aging services network,” broadly described,
refers to the agencies, programs, and activities
that are sponsored by the Older Americans Act.
Receivement of Funds: Funding for the
services required under the OAA is provided by
Congress yearly. The funds are then distributed to
states, territories, the District of Columbia, Indian
tribes and native Hawaiians on a formula basis
which provides minimum funding levels to small
population groups and sparsely populated states
and proportional funding levels based on state
elderly populations of the majority of the other
states. Because of its large elderly population, as
an example, California receives almost 10% of
the money. And because of its high proportion of
older people, Florida is next. Ten states receive
52% of the money.
States receive federal grants based on the
number of residents over the age of 60. The
federal money is divided up proportionately
among states and territories. Small population
states and US territories under this formula
might not get enough money to operate their
programs, so the Administration on Aging
provides a minimum funding floor for these aging
units. Federal grants provide specific amounts of
funding to the states for each of the seven service
categories listed below.
1. Supportive Services
2. Congregate (community served) Meals
3. Home Delivered Meals
4. Preventive Health
5. National Family Caregiver’s Support Program
6. Elder Abuse Prevention
7. Ombudsman
The state has some discretion to put
money where it will target people in most need.
Funding also depends on making sure that local
area agencies are securing the federal matching
requirements under the Older Americans Act.
• Supportive services require a 15% match
in money or in-kind services or assets.
• The national family caregivers support
program requires a 25% matching requirement.
There are numerous and complicated rules
for moving money around between categories,
for administrative costs and in meeting matching
requirements. Here are a few of these.
• The state must use at least $150,000 but
not more than 4% of supportive services money
for outreach programs.
• Not more than 85% of supportive
services money can be used for a combination of
supportive services, senior centers and nutrition
programs.
• State may transfer up to 40% of funds in
the two meal programs between congregate meals
and home delivered meals as it sees fit.
Dispersement Funds:
In California, the Department of Aging
(CDA), www.aging.ca.gov is the starting point
for dispersement of funds to the end users. The
CDA administers not only the allocation of
funds under the Older Americans Act but also
the funds from the Older Californians Act and
the Medi-Cal program. The CDA takes all the
funding and allocates the monies among the 33
different Area Agencies on Aging which cover
all of California.
Management of Funds:
The networks of the 33 California Agencies
on Aging directly manage the array of federal and
state-funded services. Placer County is serviced
by Area 4 Agency on Aging http://www.a4aa.
Area 4 Agency on Aging oversees seven counties
of Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter,
Yolo and Yuba which provides for the sharing
of ideas and programs between counties. They
advocate for local senior issues and funding.
Provision of Services:
The actual services within in each county
are contracted and operated by local providers.
Each service provider is examined and regulated
by the Agencies on Aging with community
representatives and county board supervisors.
In Placer County, our representative on Area 4
Agency on Aging, also serve on the county Older
Adults Advisory Commission http://www.placer.
ca.gov/departments. Every county offers an array
of different services. In Placer County, services
are offered by:

SCRCA Principal At Risk?
that is part of our assessment and is set aside
to replace Association assets when the need
occurs. The investment strategy has always
been to ensure that money is available when
needed so that special homeowner assessments
will not be necessary.
The Board President read a statement
into the record at the January Board meeting
stating that our Association attorney “assured
the Board that it has the authority to make
prudent changes in the investment policy”.
Of course we are entitled to have our
Boards invest prudently. They have the
authority and responsibility to do exactly that.
However, an attorney telling a Board that they
have the authority to make prudent changes
does NOT expand their authority and allow
them to deviate from our CC&Rs by making
investments that do not preserve capital. Any
investment that risks capital is a substantive
change to the CC&Rs that clearly has the
risk of impacting ALL homeowners and thus
would require the homeowners’ approving
vote. This CANNOT be a decision of a Board
acting alone.
If this Board wants to save (or earn) money
to moderate future assessment increases, we
believe they should look elsewhere. Or, if their
determination to invest in “risk assets” persists,
they must initiate a ballot measure asking all of
us homeowners to vote on the idea. With all
nine of the past presidents of our Association
against risking principal, we would think that
the cost of going to a vote would be money that
the Board would, instead, decide not to waste.

Of the Few By the Few For the Few
The Timbers Restaurant Project is
ill conceived, ill defined, exorbitantly and
questionably funded. It is ill conceived by a very
small number of the approximately 3110 lot
owners who can approve or reject the project.
It is ill defined because it claims to improve
the Timbers Restaurant when in fact it detracts
dramatically from the ambiance and beauty
of the room. At present when dining one can
see out onto the golf course and the sky above
from the main room as well as from the bar
area where one can also see the mountains.
The proposed scheme obscures these views
with a 1l00 square foot flat roofed building
attached to the Timbers. Under the proposed
configuration, instead of sky, golf course and
mountains one will look through the existing
windows into a room, its ceiling instead of the
sky past another set of windows. Thus, the
beautiful 1700 square foot Timbers Restaurant
with beautiful views will be cocooned by a 1100
square foot sports bar. The cost of this sports
bar and ancillary construction is estimated at
$1,065,000. In fact it will be close to $2,000,000
if, as planned, the Reserve fund is raided. The
legality of using Reserves to fund this project
is suspect. In summary, the 3110 lot owners
should ask whether it is worth one million to
two million dollars to move the bar 20 yards to
a far corner of a sports bar to accommodate a
very small number of resident and non-resident
golfers. I don’t.

SCRCA Investment Policy
Over the past several months, the
advisability of modifying the SCRCA
investment policy has been discussed before
the Board. A three-year discussion at the
Finance Committee/Banking and Investment
subcommittee level preceded this. To conclude
this matter, the Finance Committee was
requested to report back to the Board by March
2015 with any recommended changes to the
current policy they might have.
A higher return on investments could help
reduce the seemingly ever upward pressure on
resident assessments, however slight. From my
personal perspective, higher yields are but one
method of helping relieve such pressure. As the
saying goes, every little bit helps. Throughout
these deliberations, the issue has been noticed
and open discussions held. During this time,
many residents offered their advice and
opinions, both orally and in writing.
29
Recently, I received a copy of a letter,
purportedly sent to the Sun Senior News, signed
by eight former Board presidents. That letter
made several points and I wish to comment
on two of these. The letter criticizes some
current Board members for allegedly wishing
to invest Association monies in securities that
“do not guarantee preservation of capital.”
First, past policies inadvertently resulted in
investments that on occasion returned less
than the existing inflation rate. That does
not constitute “preservation of capital.”
Second, no past Board member can know
how this Board may act. Third, any investment
recommendations originate in the Banking
and Investment subcommittee and from there
to the Finance Committee and thence to the
Board. The Board members are far removed,
relatively speaking, from actual investments
conducted by the Executive Director and the
Association investment advisor.
The second point made by the letter
states that such investments “would require
Homeowner approval to amend our governing
document (CC&Rs).” Previously, this position
was stated to the Board. The Board sought
legal advice as to whether any such action was
required. The legal opinion was that such action
was not required and that the past presidents’
position was incorrect.
All residents, including past presidents,
are entitled to express their opinions. This
is why all Board (and committee) meetings
are noticed with a published agenda so that
residents can be informed of pending topics
and, should they desire, comment on them in
open forum. It also is important that residents
not be misled by misrepresentations, hence
this letter. Open debate is democratic and
good and in due time these issues also will be
resolved in public forum.

Observations on California
BY MARTIN GREEN
Back in the 1940’s and 1950’s, I believe
that California represented a dream for us
snowbound Easterners. As a kid growing up
in the Bronx (New York), I religiously watched
the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. There, it
was always sunny and warm (the spectators
were in shirtsleeves), the sky was always a
clear blue, everyone looked happy. Outside of
our Bronx tenement, the streets were likely to
be covered with snow or slush, the sky was a
gloomy gray, it was cold. So California was a
distant land where it was always warm, oranges
were everywhere, palm trees swayed in a gentle
breeze, waves lapped up on sandy beaches.
Still, when I returned home to New York
from the Army (Korea) I planned to live my life
there. After all, wasn’t it the world’s greatest
city? It wasn’t until after three years that I’d
become disillusioned with the word’s greatest
city. I was still living with my parents in the
Bronx, my meager salary at the ad agency
where I’d gotten a job and the high price of
apartments in Manhattan combining to block
my idea of having a place of my own. I rode
the subway to work, trying in vain to read the
New York Times while holding onto a strap
in a crowded car which had no air. Aside from
my low salary, I didn’t especially like my job.
I’d met someone in the Army, a Cal Berkeley
graduate, who now lived in San Francisco and
he was always writing about how great that
city was. I was ready to make a move. I did
something I’ve since always warned my sons
not to do, I quit my job. I wrote to my friend
that I was coming out. I headed West.
The 1950’s were a good time to be young
in San Francisco. Rents were lower than in New
York. I found a job and an apartment I could
afford and what’s more I could walk from the
apartment to where I worked downtown. No
more subways for me. I bought a car, something
unheard of back in New York. Through my
old Army friend, I met people, went to parties
and explored the city. I bought a book which
told you about all the good but inexpensive
restaurants in San Francisco. At that time you
could actually drive almost anywhere and find
a place to park. Since I had a car, I was able to
go across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito
and Tiburon and eventually up to Lake Tahoe.
On the way to Tahoe I might stop for gas and
a bite to eat in Sacramento and note how hot
it was and wonder how people could live there
in the summer.
Needless to say, all of that has changed
now. San Francisco has become so expensive
that I wonder if it still attracts young people
other than those who can work in Silicone
Valley type jobs. It’s long since become difficult
to drive there and in many areas almost
impossible to park. If you want to be a tourist
and visit Fisherman’s Wharf it costs a king’s
ransom to park in one of the garages there.
I’m sure there are still many good restaurants
but I doubt if they’d be called inexpensive.
California itself has become one of the
most expensive states to live in. Home prices
in the Bay Area and in Silicone Valley are out
of sight (leading many retirees to come to Sun
City). Taxes are high. Gas prices are higher than
almost anywhere else. The infrastructure is
deteriorating, if not crumbling, despite the high
taxes. Businesses won’t locate in California
because of its many regulations. Tuition at

our colleges has gone to affordable to not that
affordable. Our legislature is known for its
many crooks. And there’s always the chance
of another major earthquake. If I were a young
person now, I’m not sure if I’d want to come
out to California even to get away from all of
that snow and ice back East this winter.
Still and all, California remains a pretty
good place to live and if I might not move here
again I wouldn’t move to some other state now
that I am here. For one thing, there’s all that
snow and ice in the East, hurricanes in Florida,
tornados all over. We’ve had a number of nice
days this winter, and while that’s done nothing
to relieve the drought, it feels good to be out in
the sun. California also retains its many scenic
attractions. There’s San Francisco Bay. There’s
Lake Tahoe. There’s the Sierras. There’s
Bodega Bay. There’s Carmel and Monterey.
There’s Yosemite. In Southern California,
there are still the palm trees and beaches and
of course Disneyland and Hollywood.
So, all in all, California does retain
something of its old allure. I’m glad I was
young in San Francisco. I’m glad Beverly and
I moved to Sacramento. As everyone told us,
it was a good place in which to raise a family.
Despite the heat, I managed to play tennis three
or four times a week over a span of almost 40
years. It is (mostly) cool in the early mornings
and in the late evenings. And finally it’s not
bad to be retired and in Sun City.
