With the threats and atrocities of
ISIS in the Middle East, it is difficult
for any veteran and their spouses not
to be reminded of the dangerous
times they encountered in World War
II, Korea, or Viet Nam.
Wayne and Evelyn Dack are no
exception.
Wayne and Evelyn were raised
in the early 1900’s railroad town of
Le Mare, Iowa.
“Our 1st real date was the
Junior/Senior Prom in May of 1938,”
says Evelyn.
After high school Wayne studied
accounting at the University of Iowa.
“I enlisted in the Air Force
Reserve in the summer of 1941,”
explains Wayne.
Wayne went to Santa Ana, California in
1943 for Air Force pre-flight school. Evelyn
joined her parents in Los Angeles so we could
see each other on weekends.
After flight school graduation and
commissioning as an Air Force Second
Lieutenant, we decided we could afford to
get married. “We were married on March 15,

through Gander Newfoundland
and the Azores Islands to an Air
Force base in Marrakech, Morocco,
North Africa. From there we were
assigned to the 824th squadron, 484th
bomb group, 15th Air Force. A crew
from that squadron picked us up at
Marrakech and flew us to our base
in Cerignola, Italy.” he continues.
“I flew missions in Italy from
June of ’44 to Jan of ‘45. There were
35 in all.”
Needless to say, Wayne returned
safely, and Evelyn and Wayne started
their life together. Wayne resumed
his college education and in 1946
started his accounting career in

Speaker Series —
ig h
bor
s Helping Ne
Starting this month –
October 13th to be exact – the Association’s
Activities Department is launching a series of
speaking engagements featuring experts from a
variety of fields. Your Foundation gave birth to
the idea and is providing the funding necessary
to attract the best speakers around. The first
such event will feature Dr. Kuznetz, a NASA
expert, who will discuss the international space
station and the current and expected benefits
from the station and space exploration in
general. Don’t miss it!
The sessions will be staged quarterly and
promoted and managed by Activities. The idea
here is to educate us and entertain us – and
we are aiming at both.
One of the things I miss most about my
high school and college years is hearing experts
speak on subjects they know thoroughly.
Starting October 13th, I will be a fixture in the
audience each quarter. Join me there; we’ll
fill up the ballroom!
Hurry Tickets Still Available Foundation Ball 2014
“Winter Wonderland” November 8!
The 18th Annual Foundation Ball “Winter Wonderland” will be held Saturday,
November 8, 2014.
The black tie optional event includes a special gourmet dinner, a silent auction
and no host bar. Music will be provided by WEST FIFTH AVENUE. Contact your
friends, come to the party and help support our Sun City Roseville Foundation,
“neighbors helping neighbors”. Registration form and ticket information available
now in lobby kiosk. A few tickets are still available, please contact Nancy or JR
Moors at 782-5137 or [email protected] ticket chairpersons.
Alternate Living Considerations — I was
shocked late last year to learn that former
Association Board President Carolyn Lindberg
and her husband, John, had been researching
new living arrangements and, back then, were
announcing that they had sold their Sun City
home and were moving to a facility offering
several different levels of care. As soon as I
learned about their decision – another couple
we know quite well finished up their research
and announced their plan to move out of Sun
City. Within weeks both couples were gone!
More recently, the need for ready access
to up-to-date information about what local
services and facilities are available came to light
as a result of the Resident Survey. Residents
told us that they are concerned about what they
will do when it becomes clear that a move is
the right thing. And, those who have a plan in
place when this ‘fork in the road’ arrives will
be way ahead of the folks who don’t.
The Foundation has been working on
pulling together the information necessary
to assist you in the formation of a plan that is
right for you. This Foundation service is in
the formation phase at this time; however, we
are focused on assembling useful information
so that you don’t need to go to many different
sources to pull together a plan. Several people
who worked on the Association’s Specific Plan
Update Work Group along with a number
of Foundation directors are working under
the direction of Foundation Director Donna
Derner. Our purpose is to arm Sun City people
with good, current, accurate information as
you form your plan for the next step. We will
keep you advised as this project rolls along.

Accolades of the best
dance ever at SCR
Numerous good people helped to make
the dinner dance at Sun City Roseville (SCR)
entitled “Seventh Heaven” that took place in
the ballroom, in the evening, on September
7, 2014 a great success. This is to thank
everyone who helped with that endeavor.
Specifically, I wish to thank co-sponser,
Hye Archer, for contributing and great
amount of her time and for arranging for
some of her friends to help with beautiful
table decorations, handling admissions at the
door, providing some of the most beautiful
introductory and band break time recorded
dance music that I have ever heard.
I also wish to thank Jenny Giallanza,
SCR Catering Sales Director, for the
beautiful place settings on the tables, great
handling of all of the food activities, featuring
a very high quality complete dinner for all
attenders.
A very hearty thanks to John Covert and
his “Crystal Image” band for the heavenly
music they played for this event. John’s Willie
Nelson imitations were truly wonderful. In
fact, the music was so beautiful one could
very much enjoy just sitting and listening
to it all night long. However, with a great
number in attendance, most of us were there
to dance, and the latter was truly heavenly.
Both Hye and I heard accolades from
many of the participants; both during and
after the dance that this was a superb dinner
dance party that may have been one of the
best they have ever attended.
Del Babb, Co-sponser

Who has the right of way?
The streets of Sun City are considered
city streets that are regulated by city and
California State Vehicle codes! So the golf
cart crossing are under these codes. That’s
why a golf cart driver has to stop at a posted
stop sign on the golf course at each crossing
to let street traffic have the right of way. Now
I have written many letters concerned with
Sun City drivers stopping traffic because they
felt it was a nice thing to do for a golf cart
that was ready to cross at the golf cart cross,
thus causing some cars behind them to come
to a very quick stop so they could avoid rear
ending the cars that stopped.
Well, here is a question that nobody has
asked, why do we have stop signs at the golf
cart crossing if players pulling a golf bag cart
have the right of way to stop the traffic that
the golf carts have to give the right away
too? Isn’t the golf bag cart person playing
the same game of golf and should they not
be regulated to the same rules of the road
as the golf cart driver as they are not street
pedestrians? They are Golfers pulling a cart
which are using a designated stripped golf
cart crossing that is regulated by traffic laws
for these city streets and are defined for
golfers use which they in fact are.
Question: I approach a golf cart crossing
and a golf cart is stopped to let traffic by,
but all of a sudden a golfer with a bag steps
onto the golf cart crossing as traffic is moving
by who has the right of way since the golf
cart driver is letting traffic pass under traffic
code requirements? A person with the bag
is using a golf cart crossing and is a golfer
also remember they are not a pedestrian they
now have become a safety nuisance created
by the game of golf.
I mentioned a situation like this in the
past that creates a hazard at the entrance of
Dell Webb Blvd. and Blue Oak Ave. during
the busiest time of the day. I mentioned that
the golf cart crossing was only a hundred plus
feet from the Blue Oaks Blvd. thus causing
cars to back up onto Blue Oaks when a person
with a golf bag can stop traffic flow that has
a green turning signal allowing traffic onto
Dell Webb Blvd. The response I got was some
individual ridicules that the amount of feet
from the back gate to the golf cart crossing,
not giving one answer to the safety question
I asked, plus the person miss read the word
plus that was used to designate distance. So,
who has the right of way on our city streets?

then need to quantify the costs to the
various plan components and how to
fund them.
Having completed the data collection
and recommendations, the system has
broken into three workgroups that are
meeting regularly to complete the Plan’s
final phase. These workgroups include
the Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney,
Probation, Health and Human Services,
the County’s indigent defense firms,
the County Executive Office, local law
enforcement and the Superior Court.
Six Superior Court judges are leading the
workgroups. In addition, the Community
Corrections Partnership is meeting
monthly to encourage public discourse
between Partnership members, service
providers and community stakeholders.
Prior to the master plan the County
was innovative in advancing programs
aimed at reducing high rates of recidivism,
where inmates return to jail either for
violating their probation or committing
new offenses. We also offer jail
alternatives: Drug Court, Mental Health
Court and Veteran’s Court. We have also
adopted research-based risk assessments
to determine who is likely to reoffend or
fail to abide by their release terms and
then take steps to avoid those outcomes.
Recently, much of this work is in
response to AB 109 Realignment, which
resulted in non-violent state prisoners
being sent to county jails to serve out their
sentences. This policy shift has strained
local jurisdictions across the state. The
responsibility for dealing with a much
more hardened and sophistical criminal
– even though they are designated “nonviolent” by the state -- has moved to
California’s 58 counties.
Placer County officials realize that
the solution to addressing an increased
jail population is not simply building more
jail beds, but addressing the root causes of
criminal activity. Although the opening of
the new South Placer Jail will help alleviate
overcrowding, the long term plan must be
sustainable, by providing a bed for those
who need it, and providing opportunities
for rehabilitation to those who want to
and show aptitude for positive life change.
While we are doing many things right,
there is always room for improvement
and Realignment has pushed our selfevaluation to the forefront. We have a
goal of rehabilitating criminals, but of
also ensuring we protect the public and
keep the men and women who serve the
system safe as well.
As always, it is an honor and a privilege
to serve you. I always welcome your
feedback and can be reached by e-mail
at [email protected] or by phone at

more in the interview process in the next go
around as to why you are the best candidate
to be selected.
There is a natural attrition of committee
members each year. A committee member
usually serves a two year term and is
eligible for a second term; and a third term
if approved by the Board. The interests
of members may change after one or two
terms with the committee member choosing
to step down from the committee. There
will always be the need for 40 to 50 new
members each year. This includes openings
on the Board where this next year we see
two Board Members termed out after two
successful terms.
The success of becoming a committee
member sometimes requires two or three
attempts before your talents are recognized.
A prime example of this is the story of John
Raniseski, currently serving his third year
as Chair of the Finance Committee. John
weathered three separate years of interviews
prior to being selected to the committee.
He was tenacious enough to maintain a
great attitude and keep trying until he was
successful. And as a result, the Community
is that better off for his contributions to the
committee over several terms. If you were
not selected this year, please try again; your
success is right around the corner. In the
meantime, be sure to enjoy your Community.
This past year, the Association was
able to recruit 74 applicants for 47 openings
on the Community’s eleven “Required
and Standing” committees. On the whole,
we were impressed with the willingness
of individual residents to step forward to
help manage the day to day affairs of the
organization. The depth of knowledge and
experience among the applicants gave strong
indication of their ultimate selection and
future contributions to their committee.
Sometimes individual committee chairs are
impressed simply with and selected those
who displayed the energy, interest and desire
to help out. Obviously, there were a number
of applicants who filled out an application
and were not selected. Any applicant not
selected this year received a letter from
the Association encouraging them to try
again next year.
The key to the future success of being
selected for a committee is to apply for more
than one committee, visit committee(s) you
have an interest throughout the year, and
make yourself noticeable to the committee
chair and members by visiting before and
after the meeting; perhaps contributing to
the discussions during the meetings as well.
By doing this you become familiar with the
work of the committee and can contribute

Granite Bay called FARMHAUS. Located
at 8230 Auburn-Folsom Blvd. It’s a pleasant
drive, located just down the road from
Bushnell Gardens.
“The owners are husband and wife.
The wife has German ancestry and has
added many unique flavors to their entrees.
My husband thoroughly enjoyed the lunch
of ‘Hearty Style Meat Loaf.’ It was a very
thick slice served with mixed greens for
$11. The ‘Farmers Bowl,’ which consisted
of chicken, black beans, roasted corn, olives,
cilantro, avocado, radish, cabbage, brown
riche chipoltie cram. It was delicious! $12.
They have indoor/outdoor seating.
Inside are booths (with red pillows for your
back) and tables. Outside has both shade
and sun in a cute little farm-style setting.
The staff are all very friendly and attentive.
Along with their great lunches and dinners
they have a great buffet on the weekends.
They serve all types of German beer, wine,
expresso, etc. We highly recommend trying
this restaurant… you won’t be disappointed.”
It all sounds good. I especially like those
red pillows for the aching backs of us seniors.
In addition to the meatloaf, Farmhaus has
two entrees “from the oven”: Mac & Cheese
and Savory Pot Pie. They also have “Brats and
Fries,” cold “warm and messy” sandwiches
and homemade pastries. The address is
8230 Auburn-Folsom Boulevard. Summer
hours are: lunch, 11-3; happy hour, 3-5;
dinners, 5 until “we close”; Sunday brunch,
9-2. It’s closed Monday. The phone number
is 772-3276.
Bob Boggs e-mailed: “Yesterday my wife
and I ate at a new restaurant. It had only
been open for three days and I believe that
it is just the kind of place that Sun City folks
will appreciate. It is called The Window Box
Café and it is located at 6835 Five Star
Blvd. This is just a couple of blocks east
of Costco and is in an area that doesn’t
get a lot of traffic. They are open seven
days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner
and serve breakfast all day.
“The restaurant is… operated by the
owners and they are very anxious to please
their customers. They bake their own bread,
make all of their own salad dressings and just
about everything is home-cooked. They have
a special breakfast menu for seniors and they
have a special dinner menu for seniors that
is served daily from 2:00 PM until 5:30 PM.
In addition to hamburgers and sandwiches,
there are about eight dinner items, which
include Pot Pie, Lasagna, Meatloaf, Fettucini
Alfredo, Grilled Chicken and Chicken
Fried Steak. And get this, the price is just
$6.95. The place is relatively small, cozy and
intimate. I think that all of your readers will
be delighted to try this place. While we have
only been there once, we are looking forward
to our next visit and many more.” I’ll only
add that the phone number is 259-2114.
Here’s another restaurant, new to me,
perhaps because it’s near SCLH, and I don’t
get around much any more. Mal Stock
e-mailed: “Sterling Café is an unpretentious
place in Raley’s shopping center, but in my
opinion they offer the best food value this
side of Costco, and you’re not likely to be
disappointed regardless of what you order.
During our most recent brunch, Roz stuck
with her shrimp basket, and for the first time
I tried the sausage and eggs. Her shrimp
were large, fresh and succulent and her
French fries and coleslaw were tasty. My
eggs, as always, were done to perfection
and the three sausage patties were the best
I’ve had in a while. Just thought we would
share.” Thanks, Mal, for sharing.
Sterling Café may be an unpretentious
place, but their menu, as presented on their
website, is quite impressive. There are all
kinds of breakfasts, with special emphasis on
crepe and Benedict dishes. Lunch includes
burgers, sandwiches and many “baskets,”
in addition to the shrimp mentioned above.
Three are clam strips, fish and chips and
fried chicken. Dinners feature steaks and
baby back ribs, with “Specialties” such as
Monterey, Teriyaki and Denver chicken, fried
chicken and chicken fried steak. There’s also
a “senior/junior” menu, with many dishes
at really modest prices. Two examples are
the New York steak at $10.99 and the roast
beef dinner at $8.79. The address is 825
Sterling Parkway #10. Hours are MondayWednesday, 7 AM-9 PM; Thursday-Saturday,
7 AM-11 PM. The phone number is 543-8700.
I have two other restaurants this month
but space is getting short so am going to give
much abbreviated mentions and will have
fuller reviews next month. Joe Hepburn
e-mailed: “Because of my wife’s health,
we were an ‘eat at home only’ for about
three years, until my wife’s passing last
September. Before that, our favorite was
Fat’s Bistro. Since September, my daughter
visits regularly. We go out for a meal. I’ve
been pleasantly pleased and surprised by
what I found right here at our ‘Timbers at
the Lodge’ restaurant.” We’re sorry for your
loss, Joe, and happy you have support in
your daughter. More of Joe on our Timbers
restaurant next month.
Finally, we’ve had several favorable
reviews here of Bubbie’s Love deli, 7800
Sunrise Boulevard, Citrus Heights (7227800) but none as enthusiastic as Hal
Kinney’s, who wrote “The menu is a virtual
compendium of Kosher delights” and is busy
promoting the restaurant. Hal’s e-mails
deserve a column of their own and we’ll have
more next month. Thanks to everyone who
e-mailed and please keep them coming, to
[email protected].
ATTENTION: Sun City residents who
are retired State employees or otherwise in
the PERS system. The October issue of the
California State Retiree will have an article
on retirees who are writers and I believe
I will be one of them. At least, I’ve been
asked to furnish information to them, and
even a photo.
I’d also like to take this to opportunity
to remind readers that my books (all eight of
them) are available online as e-books, which
means they are incredibly cheap to buy. The
latest book, “A Life: Phase One,” is in fact
only $1.99, or virtually FREE. “A Life” is
a longer piece, a novelette, and is about a
young man who returns from the Army during
the Korean War era and sets out to find a
job, a girl and a place of his own. Readers
who were in the military during Korea and
then returned to the States should find some
familiar themes. In addition, there are 28
short stories.
Of my other books, the first three are
short story collections. I’d say the best
bargain is “Collected Short Stories, Volume
I,” which has over 200 pages in the paperback
version. All of these stories have been
published somewhere. I recently went back
and re-read some of my short stories and I
think they’re pretty good, perfect for casual
reading. I’m not the only one who thinks so.

Board Of Directors’ Highlights — It is not
unusual for residents to delay coming to the
Lodge after the first of the month, to pick up
their monthly Village Courier magazine. Often
they are just too busy with all the activities and
events happening in our community.
The “Highlights of the Board Meeting,”
printed on yellow paper, is available on the
Courier table each month. It contains notes
from the last Board of Director’s monthly
meeting. Every resident should stay informed
about the Board’s discussions and actions and
how they may affect the individual homeowner.
This document summarizes those discussions
and actions.
T h e Re s i d e n t We b s i t e , w w w .
suncityresident.com, can help you stay
informed during those busy times when
you cannot get to the Lodge, by making the
Board’s “Highlights” sheet available from
your computer. This document is posted to
the website shortly after the beginning of
the month, and can be accessed from the
link “Board & Committees” on the Home
Page menu bar, to “Board of Directors,” to
“Highlights.”
Let’s Tell The World — Our community
is not just a great place to live it is also well
managed and financially sound. Our Public
Website, www.suncityroseville.org, has
information that supports those claims. From
the Public Website’s Home page, clicking on
the link “Community” will provide a menu
containing a link to “Financials.” On that web
page we provide an overview of our financial
budget for the prior fiscal year. Below that

statement.
We want the world to know just how well
managed our community is. This positive
financial information is assuredly an asset in
attracting new residents.

“Literally Saved
My Life”
Neuropathy Patients Speak Out about
New Breakthrough Treatment
January 27, 2014
June 30, 2014
To Whom It May Concern:
Many years ago I started losing sensation in my feet. The ball
of the foot felt like leather, and my toes had very little feeling
in them. I was concerned, but didn’t know what to do.
As the years went by I was forced to use a cane for stability
when standing as I could not feel my feet. Various doctors
told me that neuropathy was setting in and “that was part of
the aging process, and there was not much that could be
done for it. “
However, at the age of 82, I discovered an advertisement
placed in a local newspaper that an office, INTEGRATED
HEALTH CENTER, was opening in a neighboring community.
They stated they were successfully treating neuropathy.
I immediately made an appointment and started their
treatments with hopes for any relief possible. I was very
pleasantly surprised that shortly after starting treatments the
nerves in my feet started to come alive.
I have completed the program, and life is so much better. I
no longer need that cane to stand on my two feet. Walking is
also a pleasure again. The nurses and staff have been very
supportive and have shown great concern for me.
I highly recommend that anyone that suffers with neuropathy
find one of their facilities and take full advantage of their
expertise.
To Whom It May Concern:
My feet have been a terrible issue for me for several years. Many years ago, I had surgery on my feet
and the nerves were cut. Complicating this was the arthritis in my feet. I could hardly walk.
I was receiving shots in my feet from a podiatrist without much success up to the time I saw the
advertisement in the newspaper and contacted the Integrated Health Center of Roseville. In just a
couple of visits, I was walking without severe pain and each visit is helping my feet and the nerves
“come back to life”.
Robin Jackson has been taking care of me and I can’t thank her and the Health Center enough.
Sincerely,
Bob F.
I was quite unhappy when I got the letter from the clinic that said Medicare in a great wisdom decided
not to pay for the treatment they were giving not only me but quite a few other people with neuropathy.
I’m telling you right now that in the years I’ve had neuropathy I’ve gone to I don’t know how many
doctors and aII I’ve ever gotten is pain pills. I see in the Ietter that your decision is because there is only
been limited amount of research and studies available at this time. Why don’t you come over and look
at my feet that’s the only study I needed. Also Medicare’s recommending oral medication as a preferred
treatment. Why don’t you tell all of the doctors about all this oral medication because they don’t seem to
know about it . All they seem to know about is pain pills. Maybe if you toId them so many people like me
wouldn’t have to put up with so many years of pain.
Now, as the saying goes, “LIFE IS GOOD!”
I just wish one of you people that make these decisions couId spend one day with your feet burning
so bad and hurting so bad you couldn’t even walk. Like I said the integrated neuropathy clinic literally
saved my life.
Harold S.
Yours truly
Richard B.

SSN Gardening Corner —
The Great Value Of Systemics
BY GEORGE PORTER
Systemics are chemicals that are readily
found at virtually all retail stores that sell
plants.
Granular fertilizers, which were
featured at the outset of these articles, are
a systemic in that they feed the plant by
introducing needed chemicals into the soil
that are then delivered to the plant through
the root system.
When I think of systemics, however, I
think of the various chemicals that gardeners
use for Insect Control and Disease Control.
Insects. Aphids, scale, whiteflies,
mealybugs, borers, caterpillars and many
more insects love to dine on our favorite
plants. The best way to combat these pests
is to apply a systemic chemical mix that we
deliver to the soil so that the roots can absorb
it and deliver it to every corner of the plant.
The plant is not troubled by these chemicals;
however, all those nasty pests that are
planning to dine at their favorite restaurant
– are repulsed and make a hasty exit.
Using a systemic in this way is the most
effective and painless way to free your plants
from virtually all these insects that feed
on our plants. I consider them to be FAR
superior to using chemical sprays that can
get blown by the wind, may be hard to mix in
the exact proportion called for, can do harm
to the plant if not applied exactly right, or
need to go underneath the leaves which is
nearly impossible to do.
Water is often recommended to blast
aphids away from our crape myrtles. And,
it works to the extent that the water jets
clean all of them away. But, a week later
they are back – because they simply cannot
resist the wonderful offerings at their favorite
restaurant! With systemics, believe me, they
DON’T return!
Diseases. Systemic chemicals are also
quite important in controlling common
diseases such as black spot, powdery mildew,
rust, blight, and other diseases. The control
process is the same. Apply to the soil in the
root zone – which is everything from the
trunk to the outermost branches and leaves
- and let the roots take up the chemicals as
they drink.
The best method of prevention is to
apply the systemic product at the end of
winter when new growth is about to start.
Many such products will say right on the
container label that one good application at
the start of the growing season is good for the
entire year. For others, they will state just
how long before you should apply again. I
use them at the start of each growing season
and then again when I see “evidence”.
BAYER offers an impressive assortment
of these products – including “Tree & Shrub
Protect & Feed” and “Rose & Flower Care”.
Check these out the next time you visit your
favorite plant store and add them to your
arsenal! You’ll not be disappointed.

Sun Senior News • ROSEVILLE • OCTOBER 2014
Sun City Singers
BY JACKIE PROETT
It’s October and the colors are orange and
black. Orange is for pumpkins, Maple leaves
and spice. Black is for witches, bats and spider
webs. October is the reminder that brightness
and darkness can co-exist. The fragrance of
hot apple cider and warm pumpkin bread can
cheer the blackest windiest night!
The Singers find that Holiday music can
cheer the longest, driest summer into being
like a walk in the park. And Hey that summer
is over---Fall is definitely here!
Hope you all bought tickets and attended
the Bass and Tenor Pizza and Bocce Ball Party
on September 27th. This is always a sure-fire
success. Sitting outside under the changing
leaves at our beautiful Bocce Ball Court is
the perfect setting for fun. Some of our new
members are sure to get people up to play
the game.
Performance Committee will be meeting
on the third Thursday of each month. At this
writing the team has not yet met to choose the
title of our Winter Concert. If you have ideas
for staging some of our songs, or fun or clever
production ideas, please join this Committee.
All these suggestions are discussed at the
Performance meetings.
“Falling” into place are two new Basses--Doug Stenger and Bill Laube. Welcome
guys! Also welcome to Breda Flanagan, a new
Soprano. Several others are showing interest
in joining us. Please do. Our Christmas Carols
need many voices!
October the 16th at 3 o’clock will be
the date and time for us to have our pictures
taken. Betty Fritsch is in charge and will keep
us posted.
In the meantime remember that
Halloween is right around the corner. There
may be evil critters out to get us but a bowl
full of candy works every time. Trick Or Treat!

SCR Dance Club
BY P.J. PALMER
October’s monthly Dance is Level 1 Line
Dance. That’s Wednesday, October 15th in
the Ballroom from 6:30-9:00pm. Did you
remember that we have a monthly Dance?
Last month was “Dance into Fall” an ALL
dance social. November will feature a country
couples/ballroom dance on Wednesday,
November 19th. These events are open to all
members of the Dance Club and their guests
(while adhering to the 50-50 ratio of members
to guests).
What is Line Dancing you may ask
and can I do it? The popular Line Dance
is a choreographed dance with a repeated
sequence of steps in which a group of people
dance in one or more lines or rows either all
facing each other or in the same direction.
Line dancing is practiced and learned in many
social clubs, dance clubs and ballrooms. It
is sometimes combined with other forms of
country-western dance. Do you remember
“The Madison” of the late 1950’s or the “San
Francisco Stomp” or “The Stroll of the 1960’s.
This is usually a well-attended event, so plan
to purchase your ticket as soon as they are
available in your dance class or dance rep!
As always, the Dance Club plans to close
out the year with the popular Holiday Dinner
Dance, which is scheduled for Thursday,
December 4. Please watch the kiosk in the
lodge lobby for posters and flyers providing
more details on all of these events.

Harmonicoots
Music & Laughter
BY JOAN REGO
Do you LOVE music? The Harmonicoots’
do and we are always ready to play. What could
be more fun than spending your Thursday
afternoons playing those timeless songs you
have grown to love?
August and September have brought us
back to our regular meeting schedule after a
fun summer of Jam sessions, “In the Good
Old Summer Time.” Under the direction of
Robert Keeling and also Gene Preston, we
have been taking some time to focus on beat
counts, rhythm and timing, while playing
our much loved favorites and learning new
songs. We are also continuing to improve on
our harmony with a number of songs. Thank
you Robert and Gene! The coots’ are also
very fortunate to have Bruce Turley and Gary
Mills to accompany us on guitar at alternate
meetings. We could not do it without you.
Thank you also to all those who perform
and entertain us in our open mic sessions at
each meeting. We have lovely waltzes, lively
polkas and awesome oldies. Everyone is always
welcome to join in and play along.
If you also enjoy music in you life, and
would like more, stop by our Coots’ table in
the lobby at the beginning of the month and
speak with one of our representatives. We have
harmonicas, songbooks with CD’s (for a small
fee) and beginning to intermediate lessons.
(We also have most of our past years Jamboree
DVD’s for sale.) Or just drop by any Thursday
afternoon to the Ponderosa room at Sierra
Pines at 1:00 PM. We welcome every level of
experience from zip to expert. We welcome
YOU. Do come and join us.

Walking in from the parking lot you could
hear the jazzy piano music being played by our
star virtuoso, Joan Thomas. After our Happy
Birthday song, the audience performed our first
sing-a-long signature opening number “When
You’re Smiling.” Frank and Jane Bohn then
surprised the crowd singing a silly ditty from
the musical show Damn Yankees. A mix of
entertainment followed as singers, story tellers,
harmonica and piano accompanists, lifted
our spirits.These talented neighbors of yours
included; Sandy Chandler, Jan Montero, Julie
Iso, (guest pianist, Keiko Yoshikawa) Gwen
Corbett, Jean Hedin, Anna Matesi, Augie
Vila, and Dick Maxey. A huge “thank you”
to our fabulous entertainers and continued
growing audience.
According to our flyer at the Kiosk as you
enter the main lodge, our next Free one hour
show is Wednesday evening, October 8th, at
7pm (6:45pm allows for a good seat) at Sierra
Pines. Bring your best smiles and come see
what this fun group is all about.

There will be a limit of 75 paid reservations
for all future programs. Once that number

Postage Stamp Group
BY TIM MILES
We are sad to report the passing of Dick
Rinegold on July 29, 2014, at the age of 90.
A retired jeweler from the Portland area, he
served in a number of positions in the Roseville
Stamp Club, writing the monthly column about
the club’s activities. He will be greatly missed.
One of the big East Coast stamp auction
galleries recently auctioned a series of rare
U. S. issues, ranging from commemoratives
to revenues, plus a US covers from the Pony
Express days that fetched a $92,000 price. The
prices ranged from a few hundred dollars to
$494,500 for a rare Newspaper-Periodical
revenue stamp from 1875.
The club recently sent some foreign
stamps out for appraisal to an expert group
and the verdict came back that 4 of the
stamps were fakes. The catch being that the
cancellations were forged or the stamp was
forged. This saves somebody from being taken
in a fraudulent transaction and; is one of the
services provided by our club.

We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday
of every month at the Sierra Pines Meeting
area at 6:30 pm. Members enjoy active and
silent auctions, get-togethers at local area
restaurants, plus trips to stamp meets all over
No. Calif. Your membership also provides you
with access to discounted prices on albums,
stamps and all the other tools of the craft.
Stamps provide a ready history lesson every
time you open an album.
We actively participate in the hobby
throughout the Sacramento area. We also
process and facilitate estate sales of stamp

SCR Veterans Club
BY RAY ILLE
Our scheduled September speaker, Jan
Scully, was unable to attend. Instead, Anne
Marie Schubert, incoming Sacramento County
District Attorney and Jill Spriggs, Laboratory
Director of the Sacramento County District,
filled in for Jan. They gave a most interesting
presentation about the latest ways to detect a
person’s DNA. A memorial was held for the
late Richard Rheingold and Dick Crowder,
both U. S. Army veterans, at the beginning
of the meeting. It was also noted that Mary
Pereira, wife of our late founding President
John Pereira, recently died. She had been a
great supporter of the Veterans Club.
On August 22nd we had a record
attendance at the Big Band Dance/Concert.
Over 200 enjoyed the evening, as the popular
Metro Swing Orchestra played away through
the night. The Veterans Club, in conjunction
with the Activities Department, jointly
sponsors this annual event.
Membership Chairman, Manny Hirschel,
reports our membership is holding firm at
around 423 members. This year many of our
World War II members have departed Sun
City to live in other accommodations, as their
physical abilities have diminished. Newer
residents from the Korean and Vietnam
conflicts have been joining the Club to keep the
membership steady. Lady members make up
20 percent of our Club. Our newest members
are Dorothy Boylan, Boyd Goetzman, Bob
Gross and Bill Hughes.
The next important event is the 9th annual
Wine and Cheese Social on October 5th at 2:00
PM in Sierra Pines. Once again Ron Angin
will be in charge and he plans to have another
outstanding selection of wines and cheeses on
hand. Costs are $8.00 per person in advance,
or $10.00 at the door.
On October 1st our speaker will be
Dr. Edmond K. Chow, D.D.S. He is an
orthodontist and International Humanitarian.

SCR Birders
BY JANET MORELLI
SCR Birders’ 2014/2015 bird watching
season is now underway. It started September
18th with a walk on a trail behind Woodcreek
High School and will continue with two
scheduled walks every month through the first
week in May 2015. Two walks are scheduled
for October: the first will be on October 2nd at
Ferrari Ponds in Lincoln Hills (a great place to
see waterfowl, shore birds, and hawks, harriers,
and kites), and the second will be on October
16th at the La Provence trail starting at the
public tennis courts near the La Provence
Restaurant. For both walks, birders will meet
at 7:15 am at the Timbers lobby and leave at
7:30 am to drive to the destination. Both of
these walks are easy walks on flat terrain and
would be a good way for new birders to learn
to identify many of the birds common in our
area. All SCR residents are welcome to join
in these walks. For more information, call
Janet Zeitman at 771-5235.
The Acorn Woodpecker is a good example
of a very common bird in our area. This bird
has striking plumage with a bright red crown,
black breast and back, and yellowish throat,
and white cheeks, forehead, and wing patches.
They are usually seen in large noisy groups and
can be heard drilling holes in trees and poles to
store acorns they have gathered. In the winter
and spring, they feed on the stored acorns.
One Acorn Woodpecker cache found in an
Arizona water tank held 485 pounds of acorns!

He and She Golf
BY MADDI ROBISON
September brought our Fall Tournament
with both the 9 and 18 Hole players mixing it
up at our 3 courses. Mixed up teams went on
SAFARI as The Pines “Panthers”, The Lakes
“Lions” and The Oaks “Orangutans”. The
Panthers came in first place with the Lions a
close second but the Orangutans were involved
in too much “Monkey Business” so were in
third place! After golf, a fun dinner was held
at Sierra Pines with a “special” menu of
“Wild Boar and Range Chicken,
Flat Bread from Hot Rocks,
Jungle Beans, Wild Rice and Fresh
Veldt Salad Greens”
Sweets From Congo Bakery
Many thanks to our Social Chair, Judith
Shively, and her hard working committee.
In keeping with the theme, many “White
Elephant” door prizes were given away during
the festivities.
Yes, Fall is in the air and with the coming
of Fall, He and She Club will have new start
times. For play beginning October, we will have
7:30 A. M. check-in and 8:00 A. M, shotgun.
Please make sure you note the time change on
your calendars. October is also the beginning

Golden Niners
BY TOM MCCLELLAND
The Golden
Niners will have their
Oktoberfest at the Pines
on Oct. 17. As usual
the social event will be
mixed with a quarterly
business meeting. It
will be a lunchtime
affair with German
beer to add to the
gemutlichkeit setting.
Several members wore
German garb at last
year’s event.
Top winner for
August was Ken Neal
who won $24 in trade
value. Right behind
him was Joe Lopez,
$23. Other top winners
were Dick Geistert, $20; Bob Hurst, $19; and
John Tribbey, $18. On a typical game day in
August, 24 players out of 73 on the course
won money. The maximum awarded is $10,
so nobody gets rich.
There are six golfers over the age of 90
playing nine holes weekly with the Niners.
The mature swingers are Joe Harnsberger,
Ambrose Roy, Selmer Johansen, Marshall
Reibel, Warren Brady and Red Williams. Their
average handicap is 15 for nine holes of golf.
Reibel and Harnsberger are twelves.
When the men played their once-a-year
round at the Lakes in August, club president J
R Moors and wife Nancy set up a refreshment
stand at the 8th hole, providing bloody Marys
and other lighter beverages. Most rounds are
played at the Pines.
The Niners are a low-pressure, friendly

group, competitive but not overly serious.
They enjoy playing with new partners every
Tuesday, teams being picked based on relative
handicaps. Most ride in carts but a few of them
walk the course. Handicaps are limited to a
nine-hole high of 25.
Membership information is available at
the starter’s desk at the Pines.

Closest to the flag were Eric Heitman and
Peggy Mucci. Everyone else enjoyed the
delicious lunch.
September was the month for the Club
Championship but too late for knowing winners
for this article. Be watching in November to
congratulate our winner.
A couple of myth busters for you to
consider. Myth #1 – A golfer who is off the
green must play a shot before a golfer who
is on the green. Fact – The player a greater
distance from the hole, regardless of position,
is always entitled to play first. So, if a golfer
has a 40 or 50 foot putt while another golfer
is facing a 5-yard chip, the golfer on the green
is entitled to play first.
Myth #2 – If your ball is unplayable, you
are entitled to a drop in a spot that gives you a
“playable” lie. Fact – A player has 3 options.
Option #1 – Go back and replay the previous
shot. Option #2 – Drop a ball behind the point
where the ball lay, keeping that point directly
between the hole and the spot on which the
ball is dropped with no limit to how far behind
that point the ball may be dropped. Option
#3 - Drop within 2 club lengths no closer to
the hole. Penalty – 1 stroke. Keep in mind
none of these guarantees you will be able to
play from an unfettered position. (Unfettered
means released from a restraint). You knew
that- right?
Stay turned more myth busters to come.

Timber Creek Men’s Golf Club
BY DICK GILBERG
With apologies to Lewis Carroll… The
time has come the Walrus said to talk of
renewing your membership. Or, if you’re not
a member and have been thinking about it,
the Walrus says your time has also come. New
members who join in October get 15 months for
the price of 12 because the NCGA considers
new members in the fall to be joining for the
next year. So why not drop by the proshop
and pick up an application? If you have any
questions, give Dick Gilberg a call at 789-8450.
And for all you current members, you can
download the renewal form from the Men’s
Club web site. You can also get one at the
General Meetings or the proshop. NCGA has
told us they are not raising the dues (that’s two
years in a row), so it looks like there will be no
increase again this year. The Council reviewed

the dues at the meeting last week and will
present them to the members at the General
Meeting. So remember, the sooner you sign
up, the fewer eMail reminders the Membership
Chairman will be sending out to you.
The year is winding down faster than
we would like. The club champion has been
determined. The CVS tournaments are
completed. The NCGA tournaments and
Match Play are in the books. But the weather is
still good and we have three more tournaments
to complete the year. This month it’s the
Autumn Leaves Tournament run by Jon Read
and Art Johnson. The format will be Three Best
Net Balls – Gold and Blue Flights, with Flighted
Individual Low Net and Low Gross. The last
day to sign up is next Tuesday (October 7).
Hopefully you made it to the General
Meeting this month to get the news that there
is no need for a nominating committee this
year. Candidates for the four elected positions
have already come forward. However, if you
were thinking about running for one of the
offices (President, Vice President, Treasurer,
or Secretary) you can still submit you name.

SCR Table Tennis
BY KAREN YEATES
Gosh – what happened to summer? Now
all we see are Christmas decorations and
Thanksgiving menus all over the place. Next
month’s article will have information on our
annual Holiday Party held in early December.
Did you know there is a U.S. Table
Tennis Hall of Fame. It took many years in
the making, after the idea was floated in 1966.
But finally it came to fruition in the Midwest
in 1979 with the induction of over a dozen
world class players. There is an induction
banquet each year, held in conjunction with
the USATT nationals. Here are some other
interesting tid-bits. Table Tennis has now
become a varsity sport in some high schools.
Just this year, New York City Department of
Education approved it being added to their
program. The first non-celluloid ball USATT
sanctioned event was held in late September
– the Texas Wesleyan Open. There is still a
lot of controversy over the change in ball use
– will it be “drastic or fantastic”? We’ll have
to wait and see what the professionals say after
playing a few tournaments with the new balls.
How many of us actually have certified
Table Tennis shoes? One can purchase shoes
just for Table Tennis from online Table Tennis
stores, such as Butterflyonline.com, Paddle
Palace.com or pingpongdepot.com. The
most expensive ones will run you about $90,
although mid-range prices are around $50.
Not too bad considering a top of the line
Table Tennis paddle can run you over $200 – a
little different than the $9.99 paddles you can
pick up at Sports Authority! Aah, but will we
really play that much better after making the
investment.
Table Tennis play times are Tuesdays
and Thursdays 2PM to 5PM and Saturdays
9AM to Noon. We play at Sierra Pines in the
Spruce Room.

really impress your friends! There will also be

Italian theme. Pizza, salad, and dessert were
accompanied by beer, wine, and soft drinks
making it another huge success.
Be thinking of candidates for officers for
2016. The election for new officers will be in
November. Are you willing to step up to the
plate? There is always a need to have members
willing to share their time to make our club
even better. Seriously consider how you can

Welcome to beautiful Fall, cooler weather
and gorgeous colors. No need for us to travel
very far to enjoy nature at its finest! And of
course October brings our next luncheon at the
Pines, actually right on Halloween, October 31.
We’d love to see many of you in crazy costumes;
although they’re not mandatory, fun is! So join
in the silliness and plan on a great afternoon of
food, fun and Mah Jongg. Our hostesses are
Lana Smiley, Susie Ruprecht, Jackie Cadmus
and Treva Rafalski so you know it’ll be special!
Sign up in the card room during regular play
by the cutoff date October 20; the cost is $10
which is pretty amazing considering how prices
everywhere have gone up. Please no cash, make
your $10 check out to SCRMJC.
These past few months we’ve had many
people interested in learning how to play Mah
Jongg so classes are continuing. Please call
Geri Hyman at 771-5795 to get on the waiting
list. She can give you all the details about
the scheduling of classes as well as additional
information about Mah Jongg itself if you’re
not sure what those strange looking tiles are
all about. Be prepared to learn something
challenging, meet new people and have a lot
of fun.
Be sure you’re checking the bulletin board
in the card room; our photographer Lana
Smiley is back at it with her camera. Great
pictures from our August members luncheon
and maybe some surprises you didn’t actually
pose for. Thank you Lana!
We always close with a reminder that
for the Mah Jongg club both the card room
and the Pines are to be fragrance free.
Everyone with allergies really appreciates your
thoughtfulness! Thanks for your cooperation.

California’s First School Teacher
BY ALTON PRYOR
The future looked grim for the 130
Americans Inside Mission Santa Clara de
Asis.
The gates of the crumbling Mission were
barricaded to keep out the Spanish soldiers
of Don Francisco Sanchez, who appeared
on the verge of attacking the newly arrived
emigrants.
There was a climate of fear inside the
mission, especially among the children. Olive
Mann Isbell, the niece of Horace Mann and a
former teacher herself, could see the chil-dren
needed both attention and a haven.
She set the children and any others who
would volunteer to clean an old 15-squarefoot adobe stable. A rickety table and a few
benches were thrown together from scraps
of wood left in the compound.
“Before you get started, you’ll have to
learn how to use this,” she was told as one
of the men handed her a long rifle. When
classes began, she kept the weapon handy.
Mrs. Mann lacked even pencils and
paper. She wrote lessons on the dirt floor
with a long pointed stick.
From each spent fire she saved the
charcoal and wrote the youngsters’ A-B-Cs on
the palms of their hands. Olive Mann Isbell
soon became Aunt Olive to the children, who
tried to imitate her courage.
Thus began the first school in California
taught by an American.
Many of the emigrants in the compound
were sick, including Dr. Chauncy Isbell,
a medical graduate of Western Reserve
College. The Isbells came west with $2000
in re-serve funds and a well-fitted wagon.
As they crossed the Sierra Nevada, John
Fremont met them at a pass near Bear River
and escorted them to Sutter’s Fort and then
on to the Mission.
Dr. Isbell was drafted to join Fremont
and his men. However, upon crossing the
Salinas River, he was stricken with typhoid
pneumonia, the so-called ‘emigrant fever’,
and returned to the Mission. Olive’s
knowledge of drugs and nursing served her
well as she tended to her ill hus-band and
others suffering sickness. While her patients
slept, Olive made bullets to hold off their
attackers.
When Dr. Isbell became well enough to
travel, he and his wife moved to Monterey.
When they arrived, they learned the Mexican
War had ended and California was about to
become a member of the United States.
On her very first night in Monterey,
Thomas O. Larkin, United States Consul,
who had heard of her previous school at the
Mission, awakened Olive. Larkin wanted her
to set up a similar school in Monterey.
Dr. Isbell began a medical practice, and
Olive opened a school with about two dozen
students. This number soon grew to about
fifty, with each student paying six dollars for
a term of three months. Unlike the conditions
in the Mission, Olive opened a classroom
with a few books, and with some pencils and
paper. The school was located above the
jail. Only two of her students knew how to
speak English. A tutor helped Mrs. Isbell,
who spoke no Spanish.
The Isbells soon moved to French Camp,
a community near Tuleberg, where Stock-ton
now sits. They had barely settled when gold
was discovered at Sutter’s Mill. Dr. Isbell
and others organized the Stockton Mining
Company and set out for the gold fields.
Once when it was so muddy the horses
could not travel on the road, Dr. Isbell showed
up with a young boy helping him carry eighty
pounds of gold in sacks on their backs.
While Dr. Isbell was away mining, the
twenty-four-year-old Olive was left to care
for the horses, chickens, milk cows and 600
head of cattle. Her only help was a nineyear-old boy.
She discovered the Indians liked the type
of clothing she wore. Sh e made an outfit
every day, which she traded for two ounces of
gold. She soon found herself cooking meals
for travelers, for which she charged a modest
sum. She received $500 in gold when she sent
a wagon to Stockton filled with two demijohns
of milk, two of cream, some eggs, four-dozen
chickens, and a few pounds of butter.
By 1850, the Isbells had become wealthy.
The couple had no children. Dr. Isbell wanted
to travel and convinced his reluctant wife to
sell their French Camp holdings.
Eventually, they returned to California
and settled in Santa Paula. Olive died there
on March 25, 1899.

Workshop on the Joy of Self-Publishing
Have you ever wanted to have your
writing published, but didn’t know how?
Do you want to gift your family with a
written legacy about your life, but didn’t
know how to even start? Three SCR
residents will reveal the secrets of selfpublishing your work in a workshop titled
“The Joy of Self-Publishing,” on Nov. 18th
at Timbers Lodge from 10 a.m. to noon
in the Cedar room.
Bud Gardner and Jennifer Martin,
co-owners of their publishing company,
Prairie Angel Press, and Alton Pryor,
owner of Stagecoach Publishing, are
offering this free presentation to show
residents the benefits of self-publishing
their own writing.
Gardner and Martin have published
three books: The Angels Speak: Secrets
from the Other Side, a best seller
in Northern California (now out of
print); The Huna Warrior: The Magic
Begins, winner of a bronze medal for
Best Visionary Fiction in 2007 from the
Independent Publishers of America, and
the most recent, Psoriasis-A Love Story
which details Martin’s 30-year search for
a cure for psoriasis. Kirkus Reviews calls
Martin’s latest book “a worthwhile read.”
Alton Pryor, who has published 20
books and 30 ebooks, writes extensively
about California history and the old West
in books such as Little Known Tales in
California History, Little Known Tales
in Sacramento History, and Outlaws and
Gunslingers. His Publish It Yourself:
Five Easy Steps to Getting Your Book in
Print is a best seller. Pryor visits festivals
such as the Mandarin Festival in Auburn
every year to sell his books, which are
also available at outlets such as Barnes
and Noble and Costco.
“I’m finding more and more people
interested in books these days,” said Pryor,
“not only in buying them, but in writing
their own as well.”
Gardner, co-author of Chicken Soup
for the Writers Soul, part of the New York
Times best-selling series, Chicken Soup for
the Soul, taught Writing for Publication at
American River College for many years
and had many students go on to become
successful authors, earning, in some
cases, millions of dollars for their books.
“It’s time to share your writing with the
world,” Gardner said. “This workshop will
get you started.”
In addition to writing books, Martin
is an award-winning screenwriter and
videographer as well. “There’s something
really magical about holding a book you’ve
written in your hands or seeing a movie
you’ve produced on the screen,” Martin
said. “We hope to inspire you to channel
your own creativity right away.”
For further information, call Bud
Gardner at 916-781-2830. Visit Martin’s

School supplies, and hope, delivered
to Sierra College by AAUW-RSP
Enough pens, paper, binders, and
markers to fill the backpacks of dozens of
college students. That’s what Phyllis Brown
and Mary Rountree, of the Roseville South
Placer Branch of the American Association
of University Women (AAUW-RSP),
are going to tote to the Sierra College
Foundation Office in Rocklin. Lincolnite
Phyllis Brown and Roseville resident Mary
Rountree are Co-Chairs of Community
Outreach for Sierra Student Supplies, a new
effort by for AAUW-RSP that has been a
huge success. The group’s campaign got a
big lift at last week’s Kick-Off luncheon,
which collected a small mountain of
supplies.
These brand-new essentials will go to
students in a program administered by the
Sierra College Transition Support Team;
it’s designed to aid former foster care youth
with both academic and material assistance.
Each semester, as many as 150 emancipated
foster youth are identified for inclusion by the
college’s Transition Support Team. Under the
college’s Care-Pack Project, a major effort
supported by dozens of local philanthropic
organizations including AAUW-RSP,
backpacks filled with the donated supplies
go to the grateful students.
“We hope the AAUW-RSP donations
will go a long way to help the many former
Foster Youth attending Sierra,” notes Brown,
“since these students often come to college
without even basic school supplies.” Caring
about students comes naturally to Brown and
Rountree; each is a former educator.
Every year in California, according to
the Sierra College Foundation website, some
4,000 foster youth transition from dependents
of the foster care system into emancipated
adulthood at age eighteen. These former
foster youth generally grow up in numerous
homes with few life skills or tangible items
to call their own and most don’t go on to
college. Yet Sierra College has some 75 to
125 former foster youth pursuing the dream
of higher education. These students face a
special challenge to pay for college costs: from
tuition and books, to school supplies. Besides
Care-Pack, Sierra College has established a
fund to help these students (their goal is to
raise $50,000 annually).
Want to join AAUW-RSP and help
their Community Outreach Programs to
help students in South Placer County? The
Roseville-South Placer AAUW Branch is a
registered 501c3 charitable organization and
has sent a total of 66 middle school girls to
Tech Trek science camps and it has awarded
college scholarships since 1991 to Placer
County students. To join or learn more about
AAUW-RSP, go to rosevillesouthplacer-ca.

Seniors Need to Know!
Adult Protective Services
BY CHERYL WIKER AND KAREN BONE
Most senior citizens and dependent
adults with disabilities live independently
without assistance, however, some face
abuse or neglect by others and need trained
professionals to advocate on their behalf.
Others may simply be struggling with daily
care activities and benefit from In-Home
Support Services to maintain their health
and independence. Adult Protective Services
helps by assessing each individual’s unique
needs, evaluating client risk and capacity to
agree to services; arranging for a large variety
of services and linking with community
resources to maintain his/her safety,
health, and independence. The program is
designed to enable an elderly individual or
other vulnerable adult to continue living
independently at home and to protect him
from abuse.
Mission: To assist elderly and dependent
adults to maintain their health and safety
in the community in the least restrictive
environment.
The APS Program: The Adult Protective
Services program (APS), is part of the Placer
County Health and Human Services, Adult
System of Care Division. APS is mandated
by law to investigate reports of abuse,
make contact with the alleged victim, offer
services, and intervene when appropriate
and necessary.
Who Do We Serve: Clients that are age

65 and older (Elder) and Clients between the
ages of 18 to 64, whose physical or mental
limitations restrict their ability to carry

rights: including persons with physical or
developmental disabilities or whose physical
or mental abilities have been diminished by
age (Dependent Adult).
Types of Abuse —
Physical: Physical abuse or bodily harm
can range from bruises and scratches to
death. It is also from the misuse of prescribed
medications or the misuse of restraints.
Victims may not be locked in rooms, tied
down, overmedicated or under medicated.
Only a physician can write a prescript for
restraints, and all medications should be
taken as prescribed by a physician.
Neglect: Failure of a caregiver to provide
basic needs such as food, water, personal
care, shelter, medical care, and prescribed
medications.
Abduction: Forcible holds or detention
(or any other means of instilling fear) of an
elder or dependent adult whereby he/she
is moved to another location against his/
her will.
Abandonment: Desertion by a person
who has assumed responsibility for providing
care for an elder or dependent adult.
Sexual: Sexual abuse encompasses
unwanted sexual advances; including
assaultive behavior, coercion, or intimidation.
Financial: Financial abuse is using the

elder’s money or assets contrary to the elder’s
wishes, needs, or best interest—or for the
abuser’s personal gain. This could include
theft or misuse of money and credit cards,
or forcing an elder/dependent adult to sign
documents.
I s o l a t i o n : Fa l s e i m p r i s o n m e n t .
Preventing an elder or dependent adult from
receiving mail, phone calls, or having contact
with family, friends, or concerned persons.
Self-Neglect: Failure of an elder or
dependent adult to provide for his/her own
basic needs, such as food, water, shelter,
personal care, medical care, finances, and
personal safety.
Reporting the Abuse —
Who Makes a Report? A family member,
neighbor, friend, or anyone concerned
about the health and safety of an elder or
dependent adult. Mandated Reporters such
as: health practitioners, paid or unpaid
caregivers, clergy, law enforcement, financial
institutions, or APS. Mandated reporters
must also submit a written report within two
(2) days. The report form can be obtained
by calling 916-787-8860 or toll free 888886-5401.
What to Report: Observation or
suspicion of physical/sexual abuse, neglect,
financial abuse, abduction, abandonment,
isolation, and self-neglect. The elder adult
or dependent adult could also report abuse
by stating that he/she has experienced abuse.
How to Report: Call the Placer County
Adult Intake line 24hours / 7 days a week: 916787-8860 or toll free at 1-888-886-5401. To
report abuse in all Long-Term care Facilities,
call the Ombudsmen Services of Northern
California at 530-823-8422.
What if you just have a “feeling” about
a situation but can’t verify the details? APS
workers are professional social workers
trained to handle just such a situation. Based
on your report, the agency will assess the
situation and determine how best to respond.

Cheryl Wiker and Ms. Karen Bone, and do not
