Oak Street Improvement Project
Capital Aquatics
BY RHON HERNDON – Roseville Public
Works Director
BY JANET VARGAS, CCA Booster Director
California Capital Aquatics (CCA), a
United States Swimming affiliated swim
team, trains year round at the Roseville
Aquatics Complex (RAC) under the
leadership of Head Coach Debbie Walker.
In addition to our year-round swim
program, CCA has several programs
currently underway or in the preparation
stage. Our Fall Program continues to be
very popular. These swimmers began
training in August and will continue
through November. For many swimmers,
this is their first opportunity to experience
the excitement of USA Swimming through
practices and meets. Our Fall Pre-Team
Program is for young swimmers who want
to learn the stroke technique required
for competitive swimming. A Spring PreTeam Program will be offered in 2015. For
additional information about the Spring
Pre-Team Program, please contact Coach
Summer Treadwell at 916-316-3373.
CCA recently celebrated the 2013-14
swim year with its annual banquet at
Morgan Creek Golf & Country Club.
High school seniors, swimmers, coaches,
volunteers, and board members were
recognized. The evening was capped with
CJ Pais being honored with the Coaches
Award for his leadership to CCA and
his commitment and dedication to his
training.
E a c h y e a r , U SA S w i m m i n g
recognizes its members who excel both
in the classroom and in the pool. The
Scholastic All-America Team is made up
of high school student-athletes who have
completed 10th, 11th or 12th grade, have
a grade point average of 3.5 or higher
and who have achieved the required time
standard in a single event. For the 201314 academic year, this achievement was
earned by graduated seniors Collin Craig,
Caroline Culpepper, Claire Hammond,
and CJ Pais and junior Mackenzie Vargas.
Well done!
CCA held its largest annual Spooktacular Swim Meet in October with some
very fast swims. Nearly 1,200 swimmers
heeded the starting buzzer with nearly
7,400 racing starts over 2 ½ days of
(cont’ on page 8)
The Oak Street Improvement Project,
which includes a roundabout at the
intersection of Washington Boulevard
and Oak Street, is just a couple weeks
from completion.
Traffic has begun moving in a circular
flow but this area is still very much a
construction zone so please continue
to drive carefully. With the continued
construction and lane closures, traffic may
occasionally back up into the roundabout
area. Once the construction is completed
and the traffic signals at the corners of Oak
& Grant and Oak & Lincoln streets are
installed, traffic should flow through the
roundabout and this area very smoothly.
The Oak Street Improvement Project
is part of the City of Roseville’s plans
to revitalize downtown Roseville as
envisioned by the Downtown Specific
Plan. Beyond the roundabout and traffic
signals, the project also includes
Oak Street realignment;
reconfiguration of entry and exit points
to Oak Street parking; streetscape and
landscape improvements along Oak
Street; modifications to the traffic signals
at Lincoln & Vernon streets; and some
minor work on Lincoln Street to add a right
turn lane and frontage improvements.
A roundabout was included in the
project to improve driver and pedestrian
safety at the intersection of Washington
and Oak; improve traffic flow; and to
create a landmark entry feature into
downtown.
According to the Federal Highway
Administration and the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety, where a
roundabout has replaced a signal or stop
intersection:
• Collisions reduced 37%
• Injury accident reduced 75%
• Fatalities reduced 90%
• Pedestrian collisions reduced 40%
The two primary reasons for
reductions in accidents in roundabouts
are slower traffic speeds within the
roundabout and fewer points of possible
contact between both vehicles and
pedestrians in roundabouts versus a
signalized intersection.

Nonprofit Initiative is a Success
You may have heard the great
things local nonprofit leaders are saying
about Placer Community Foundation’s
Nonprofit Initiative, but just in case you
haven’t, here’s the word on the street:
• “We went from an organization that
would typically raise $10,000 in a year to
one that raised $100,000.”
• “We are serving twice as many or
more people; we have grown in leaps and
bounds.”
• “We now have a functioning board!”
And there’s much more enthusiasm
where that came from! That’s because
the Nonprofit Initiative is a program that
helps nearly 200 local organizations like
Placer Food Bank, Child Advocates of
Placer County, and Placer Land Trust, to
name a few, make their great nonprofits
even better. Our program offers grants
and workshops to help nonprofit leaders
improve communication, raise more
money, and plan for the future, so they
can keep doing what they do best: building
a strong community.
The Scoop — We at PCF have always
had a notion that the Nonprofit Initiative,
created in 2006, makes a powerful, positive
impact on local nonprofits. Today we’re
very pleased to share the results of a recent
independent study that show exactly how
important this program is to the Placer
County community. Here’s the gist: Nearly
half of the participants said the program
improved their organization, and another
one-third expressed the value of learning
about fund-raising skills. Finally, one-third
gained valuable knowledge about the
nitty-gritty of running a nonprofit.
Learn More — PCF invites you to
help us expand the Nonprofit Initiative
program to continue to support vital
nonprofit organizations that provide
valuable community services in our region.
Please consider making a contribution
to the Nonprofit Initiative by visiting our
donation page and clicking on “Nonprofit
Initiative” in the “I Would Like to
Support” drop-down menu, or by giving

Timberwolves On The Court
BY JAMIE TOPPER
Twenty Lady Timberwolves play tennis for
Woodcreek High School this season. The top
12 participate at the varsity level, but all the
girls are continuing to work hard and improve.
The players’ dedication and hard work has led
to some well-earned successes.
They were undefeated in preseason play
and finished 4-1 in the Northern California
Classic Tournament in Fresno prior to the
start of league play.
Collectively, the league consists of Del
Oro, Granite Bay, Nevada Union, Rocklin,
Roseville, and Woodcreek. The six-school
league is set up for each team to play each other
twice. Each team submits a player’s ladder
containing the top six singles players and the
top three doubles teams based on ability level.
Despite the stellar preseason results, the
challenge has been to face the high quality
teams within the Sierra Foothill League itself.

Four of the top-ranked teams in Northern
California are in the SFL. Individually, they
often face players both California ranked and
professionally-trained.
But if part of being an athlete is
perseverance, improvement, and simple
enjoyment of the sport, then the girls continue
to win on the court even while facing more
seasoned and skilled competition.
The girls have worked really hard this
year,” said head coach Glenda Fox. “Even
though we don’t win every match, they have
improved every match, and they love the
game!”
Jana Reinecke, one of the team’s captains,
sums up the draw of the sport. “Meeting
people that have the same interests as you
and having fun.”
Even facing some very tough opponents,
the teams #1 and #2 singles players, Kristina
Calistro and Dani Arendain, respectively, have
been very competitive.
“They will join forces for our league
doubles and definitely have the potential for
post season play,” predicted Fox.
Arendain and Reinecke, along with Taylor
Fox, are this year’s team captains.
“All three of them bring strengths to the
team, whether it be a leader on the court,
building relationships with the new players and
underclassmen, or party planning!” said Fox.
As the team continues to embrace
challenges and strive toward common goals,
the truest goals are just to want to compete,
have fun while doing it, and improve along
the journey.
Perhaps Arendain has some good advice.
She recently said, “Tennis is a sport for all ages.
If you want to play, you should just jump in.
If you keep playing, you’ll improve.”

Meet the Bunker Family
BY DIANNE CARLISLE
The Bunker family--Skip,
Liz, Taylor and Michaela—have
come a long way from Downeast
Maine. Lifelong East Coast
residents--Liz was born in
Massachusetts and grew up in
Rhode Island, and Skip grew
up in Maine--they returned to
Maine about a year into their
marriage when Skip’s great
grandparents had to be placed
in assisted leaving.

to life-long financial wellness.
“My passion is in the area of helping
families who have found themselves in
the midst of a long-term care crisis, which
developed out of my own family’s experience,”
said Liz.
Once they settled in Roseville, Taylor and
Michaela began playing in the Placer Youth
Soccer League. Taylor played with the same
team (Freedom) for five years, and Michaela
played with two teams (Dolphins and Soccer
Blockers) over her six-year stint. Michaela
and Taylor also became very involved in music
while in middle school.
“The instruction they received at Silverado
and Creekview Ranch became the foundation
for their involvement in the music program at
Woodcreek High School,” said Liz.
Taylor, now a senior at California
Lutheran University, is majoring in biology
and currently working on requirements for
his application to a PhD fellowship program
in computational biology/bioinformatics.
Taylor graduated from WHS in 2011. While
there, he was actively involved in the WHS
Jazz, Symphonic and Concert bands as well
as the WHS Cycling Team during all four
years at WHS.
“Taylor was one of only a handful of the
cycling team members who started and finished
every racing competition all four years of his
cycling career,” said Liz.
Michaela is also attending California
Lutheran University. A freshman this year,
she is majoring in history and is enrolled in a
pedagogy program to become a high school
educator. She is a 2014 graduate of WHS.
While in high school, Michaela performed
with the WHS Jazz, Marching, Concert and
Symphonic bands all four years. She was also
a member of the Color Guard and Winter
Percussion ensembles and a member of the
choir. Michaela was named to the Sacramento
Capital Section Honor Choir in her senior
year. She also participated on the Cycling
Team during her freshman and sophomore
years, but turned her focus to music and winter
percussion as a junior, which contributed to
her being awarded the Visual and Performing
Arts scholarship at Cal Lutheran.
“Michaela is looking forward to joining
the Cal Lutheran and Women’s Choirs on a
trip to Germany next spring, where the group
will be touring and performing in several of
the large Lutheran cathedrals throughout the
country,” Liz said.
Liz and Skip have always been a part of the
kids’ activities. Both Skip and Liz were WHS
Band booster and Cycling team booster parent
members for over the past 7 years, with Liz
serving a one-year term on the Band Booster
board. And even though the kids are now in
11
college, Skip remains active as a volunteer for
the WHS Cycling Team – this will be his eighth
season as a training ride leader.
“Skip is an avid mountain biker,” said
Liz. “ When he’s not working, you’ll find him
on a bicycle, either on a road ride between
Roseville and Auburn, or on one of the many
beautiful mountain bike trails in Placer or El
Dorado counties.
Rounding out the Bunker family are the
four-legged members of the family. They just
adopted a border collie, Ruby, from the SPCA
and have two mini schnauzers--that “look like
little sheep because their hair is very long, “ Liz
said with a laugh—as well as two cats adopted
from the SPCA.
“The animals go everywhere with us,”
said Liz. “We have a small RV, and anytime
the kids had a competition, we just loaded
up all of the family and animals and went.”
With Taylor and Michaela at Cal
Lutheran, Skip and Liz are now turning their
attention to the newly formed Junction West
Neighborhood Association, which is a part
of the Roseville Coalition of Neighborhood
Associations.
“I’m currently serving as the JWNA
President,” said Liz, “and we are busy in the
formation and support of new Neighborhood
Watches as a means to encourage participation
within our new association, and to improve
communication between Roseville’s Police
and Fire teams and our neighbors.”
As they continue their involvement
in Roseville’s sports activities and civic
responsibilities, it’s clear that Skip and Liz
intend to remain active in the community
and embark on a few adventures of their own.

recognized? Well, just let us know. Send

WN Gardening Corner —
The Standard Landscape
BY GEORGE PORTER
Everybody does this! And, we are no
exception…
We see a relatively large area of the garden
like the corner area where the fence behind
the house meets the fence between houses.
Near the back of the corner, we plant a
little tree – since we need something large in
that corner. In front of the new tree (which
when planted is no larger than we are tall)
we plant an assortment of sun-loving plants.
Fast forward a couple of years. The tree
is much larger and the increased size provides
the plants below a measure of relief from the
hot sun of June, July and August.
Fast forward another couple of years. The
tree now shades everything near it. In addition,
and to some extent a surprise for us – the tree
now has an extensive root system that drinks
all the available water in its area.
The result is that all those beautiful sunloving plants below and around the tree are
now looking shabby, not getting either enough
light – or – enough water!
Sound familiar?
We all know that, at the outset, we would
have been foolish to surround the tree with
shade loving plants, because they would have
‘fried’ in the early years while the tree was
young.
So, what is a person to do about this?
My answer to people who ask me about
this is simply ‘Your garden is a movie – not
a still snapshot’. Expect the need to change
(some) plants from time to time. Be aware
of the above-described tendency and do the
best to create a landscape that will survive and
even prosper without CONSTANT replacing
of one plant with another. The initial planting
arrangement is never ‘forever’ – unless you
plant the tree and then wait for 8-10 years for
it to mature, after which you plant under it
some nice shade-loving plants.
With the cost of plants still affordable
(for the most part) and with the knowledge
that changes will be needed as the tree grows
larger, my vote goes for using the sun-loving
plants initially and then slowly introducing
replacement plants that are well suited for the
environment to come.
Some plants do almost as well in shade as
sun – and conversely. These are the “industrial
strength” plants that landscapers often use.
Believe me, these people are some of the
best at recommending plants for challenging
or changing environments since they often
guarantee plants that they put in your yard.
Obviously, if you choose among such plants,
your need to change plants will be less frequent.
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.

W.ROSEVILLE REAL ESTATE UPDATE
As I’ve said many times, the only constant in Real
Estate is change. The market is recalibrating yet
again. Buyers are taking their time, looking for the
best deals. There is not much pushing them to buy
as inventory of unsold homes has climbed and many
sellers are lowering their asking prices. For home
sellers it is extremely important to
keep track of their competition’s
pricing as that is what is setting the
new market price. People who price
