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.

Roseville City
Council appoints
Bob Schmitt as
New City Attorney
At its February
4 meeting, the
Ro s e v i l l e C i t y
Council named
Bob Schmitt as the
new City Attorney
effective February
21, 2015. Schmitt,
who has served
Bob Schmitt
as Assistant City
Attorney since 2007,
will replace Brita Bayless, who is retiring
after 13 years of city employment including
more than 8 years as City Attorney.
“We were impressed with Bob’s legal
expertise, his integrity and high ethical
standards,” said Roseville Mayor Carol
Garcia. “He will continue to be an excellent
mentor to our legal team.”
As City Attorney, Schmitt is the chief
legal officer of the City and will lead a team
of attorneys responsible for the City’s legal
issues related to a wide range of industries
and topics, including ordinances, resolutions,
contracts, and litigation. The City Attorney
also reviews and analyzes the City’s position
on legislation affecting the City.
“We are in the midst of a very exciting
time in Roseville. I’m looking forward to
playing a larger role in the city’s future,” said
Schmitt. “We have many challenges ahead
of us, but I feel as though the City Council,
the city and our legal team are well prepared
to meet those challenges allowing Roseville
to continue to prosper.”
Schmitt began his legal career as a
law clerk for the City of Roseville in 1997
while attending McGeorge School of Law
in Sacramento. At various times during
his tenure with Roseville, he has been the
principal legal advisor to the city’s electric
and environmental utilities, and planning
and economic development projects.
The City Manager and the City Attorney
are the only two staff positions directly hired
by the City Council.
(Note: The City Attorney acts as the
chief legal counsel for the Roseville municipal
government, not as a legal representative or
adviser to private citizens, businesses or nonprofits.)

Many Safe Surrender Sites For Newborn
Babies Located In Placer County
Placer County has more than 30 approved
locations where parents may surrender
newborn babies without fear of arrest or
prosecution for child abandonment.
Approved sites include several hospitals
and many fire stations located in both cities
and unincorporated areas throughout the
county. A list is available on the county Health
and Human Services Department’s website at
http://www.placer.ca.gov/departments/hhs/
children/help-support.
In September, the Placer County Board of
Supervisors approved adding 11 additional fire
stations to the list of safe surrender locations
throughout the county.
The safe surrender sites were established in
response to the California Safely Surrendered
Baby Act of 2001, which seeks to protect
newborn infants at risk of being abandoned
at unsafe locations. The act also is sometimes
referred to as the state’s Safe Haven Law.
“The program has had a share of success,
but the tragic and senseless infant deaths the
law seeks to prevent still occur from time to
time,” said Richard Knecht, M.S. Director of
Placer County’s Children’s System of Care.
“We want to remind everyone the program
allows parents and legal guardians to safely
surrender babies confidentially and without
fear of prosecution within 72 hours of birth if
the babies have not been abused or neglected.
The program is a life-saver, and we want to
make sure everyone knows it is available.”
He noted that a parent or person with
lawful custody has up to 14 days from the time
of surrender to reclaim a baby. At the time of
surrender, a bracelet is placed on the baby for
identification purposes and a matching bracelet
is provided to the parent or lawful guardian in
case the baby is reclaimed.
Parents and guardians who surrender
babies are asked to complete a medical
questionnaire that helps social service and
medical workers determine how to best care
for the babies, but participation is voluntary
and can be declined. Information that might be
used to identify a parent or guardian is removed
to maintain the person’s confidentiality.
The California Department of Social
Services has toll-free hotline telephone
numbers posted on its website at http://www.
babysafe.ca.gov/ for people looking for safe
surrender sites in other counties throughout
California.
On the website, the department provides
statewide statistics, reporting that parents and
guardians surrendered 57 newborn babies this
year through Sept. 30 and surrendered 669
newborns from Jan. 1, 2001 through Sept.
30, 2014.

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:

across the country in The Great
Kindness Challenge 2015, a weeklong bullying prevention initiative
that fosters a culture of kindness, unity, and
respect. Students and staff accepted the
challenge to prove that “kindness is strength
and bullying is weak,” by devoting themselves to
performing as many acts of kindness as possible.
District- wide, participants recorded more than
107,050 acts of kindness in just four days.
The week was filled with activities promoting
kindness, friendship, gratitude,
and other positive characteristics.
Students attended inspiring antibullying assemblies, dressed up for
spirit days, created kindness-themed
artwork, and logged their acts of
kindness throughout the week. By
demonstrating that kindness matters,

Getting to know you...
Meet the Cain Family
BY DIANNE CARLISLE
Becoming “empty
nesters”--with both of
their children grown up
and out of the house—
hasn’t slowed David and
Trina Cain down at all. If
anything, the two are even
busier now than they were
when their kids were living
at home.
Both Northern
California natives, David
and Trina have always lived
in the Sacramento area.
Trina lived in Carmichael
until she was 12, and
then her family moved to
Rocklin. She graduated
from Del Oro High School.
David graduated from
Roseville High School.
Married 26 years, with
their 27th anniversary
coming up in May, David
and Trina first met when they both worked
on the production line at NEC Electronics
in 1985. David was a technician working on
the manufacturing of microchips, and Trina
operated the machinery.
Trina continued working at NEC,
eventually logging in 28 years at the company.
David worked at NEC for 14 years, and then
found employment at KeySight Technologies,
formerly Agilent Test and Measurement, which
was a spin-off of Hewlett-Packard’s test and
measurement division.
When Trina was laid off from NEC in
2012, she had to find something else--and that
something else was becoming a pre-school
teacher.
“I had always wanted to be a teacher,”
said Trina.
She became a licensed pre-school teacher,
which involved taking classes through Placer
County Education, getting their home certified,
and being mentored. Trina now runs a morning
pre-school/daycare 5 days a week out of their
home. She has a 3-year-old class on Tuesdays
and Thursdays and a 4-year-old class on
The Cain Family: Brandon, Trina, David,
Taylor and her husband Derek and baby Hyde.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
“I love it,” Trina said. “It brings laughter
back into the home.”
In the afternoons, she also works at Cover
to Cover Bookstore. David also has a second
job, working part-time as a Campus Supervisor
at Coyote Ridge Elementary School.
“I started this year and get to work out
on the field with the kids playing soccer and
other field games during recesses,” said David.
The Cain family has lived in the Woodcreek
area since 1989, and both of the children, Taylor
and Brandon, went to local schools and were
involved in local sports. Taylor graduated
from Woodcreek High School in 2009. She
started playing softball when she was five years
old, playing in the Roseville Girls Softball
leagues. She ended her playing career on the
varsity team at WHS. Her primary position
was 3rd base, but she also pitched when she
was younger.
“She didn’t pitch in high school, though,”
said Trina. “She didn’t want that pressure.”
Taylor is now married and lives in
Pennsylvania. She and her husband of three

years, Derek, met after he returned from a
church mission to Brazil. They both attended
BYU-Idaho and graduated in April 2014, Taylor
with a degree in Communications and Derek
with a degree in Healthcare Administration.
After graduation, they moved to Pennsylvania
so that Derek could attend graduate school.
He is currently enrolled in a Master’s Program
for Healthcare Administration at Penn State.
Taylor and Derek recently
had their first child, a baby
boy, in November 2014.
Brandon graduated
from WHS in 2011. He
is very athletic and loves
anything to do with sports.
Brandon began playing
baseball at age 4 with
Roseville Little League,
and he continued playing
all the way through high
school. He also earned the
rank of Eagle Scout in the
Boy Scouts. After returning
from a church mission to
the Colombia Cali mission
in August of 2014, Brandon
continued his education at
BYU-Provo. He is majoring
in Recreation Management.
The Cain family has
also been actively involved
with Cultural Homestay
Institute (CHI), an
educational organization
created to promote
international understanding and goodwill
through people-to-people exchanges—
basically a foreign exchange student program-for many years. They have had students stay
with them from as little as 3 weeks up to a
year and a half.
“We totally love these programs,” said
Trina. “It’s a great opportunity to learn about
other countries and cultures while the kids are
learning about ours.”
Almost all of the students they have
hosted have been from Japan, but one was
from Colombia, South America. He lived with
them in 2009-2010.
“So when Brandon went on his mission,
the first area he served in, Cali, Colombia, was
where our foreign exchange student lived,”
said Trina.
“They were able to see each other,” said
David. “We still keep in contact with him; it
really has been wonderful.”
A favorite pastime for the Cain family is
tent camping, and one of David and Trina’s
preferred places to go is Sugar Pine Reservoir
in the Tahoe National Forest. But their favorite
9
vacation destination is the ocean and Dillon
Beach. They go there several times a year,
staying in a family beach house with extended
family.
In addition to camping and relaxing at
the beach, the Cains like to attend sporting
events--they are huge baseball fans! Several
years ago, they traveled to the East Coast and
had the opportunity to visit Yankee Stadium,
Fenway Park, and the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame.
“When we go on major trips, we like to
hit a sporting event, but also like to balance
that out with something spiritual,” said Trina.
“We visit a temple or another religious place.
Recently, we were able to visit Palmyra, New
York and see some of the historical sites that
are important in our church.”
David and Trina are looking forward to
their kids eventually moving closer to home
and having the chance to introduce their
grandchildren to camping and baseball, as well
as other family interests. In the meantime, with
lots of friends, work responsibilities, and taking
care of their 12-year-old black Labrador, it’s
doubtful that anyone will find David and Trina
moping around the house.
“In a sense we are busier, but we need to
stay busy, because the alternative is to just sit
at home and have a ‘pity party,’” said Trina.
“And we don’t want to do that.”

Woodcreek Boys Basketball on Fire!
BY JAMIE ROSSITTO
This season Woodcreek High
School boy’s basketball team
is outstanding. Their record is
currently 22-4; they are 8-1 in the
league, and are tied for 1st place
with Folsom High. The team’s two
top scorers are, senior guard Noah
Blackwell averaging 18.5 points per
game, and freshman power forward
Jordan Brown averaging 23 points
per game.
Noah Blackwell is the first
4-year starter in the
Woodcreek Boys Program,
and has signed to play with
Long Beach State next fall.
Freshman Jordan Brown is
currently leading the league
in scoring and rebounds.
While these two may
be the team’s top scorers,
veteran Coach Paul Hayes,
who has been the basketball
coach at Woodcreek for 12
Noah Blackwell
years now, attributes his team’s great record
to “ a true team effort in reaching our
success”.
Coach Paul Hayes brings 23 years of
coaching experience to the Woodcreek
Boys Program, and has coached at
Woodcreek from 1997-2004 and
2010-current. Coach Hayes says his goal
is to get the players to play hard and give
their best effort every night. Looking
at their record, it seems that the boys
have accomplished success and brought
pride to their school. Coach Hayes says
he believes the boys have achieved
their success for this season through
hard work, positive attitudes, and the
teamwork of the players.
We wish Coach Hayes and
the team luck and will continue
to follow their progress for
the rest of their season. I
encourage you to come out
to support your local school
and these great athletes, in
their upcoming games. For
game information please see
Woodcreek Highschool’s
website.

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 will be offering a Summer
Pre-Team Program. Practices will be held
June 8 – July 31 at the RAC. The Summer
Pre-Team Swim Program has two objectives:
to develop technique in the four competitive
strokes, and to introduce swimmers to the
CCA program and USA Swimming. For
additional information about the Summer
Pre-Team Program, please see our website at
www.ccaswimming.org or call Coach Summer
Treadwell at (916) 316-3373.
CCA has been busy training to earn
personal best times, and Junior Olympic, Far
Westerns, Sectional, Junior National, and
National qualifying times. Their hard work
paid off with some great swims at recent Age
Group meets, Sectionals, Junior Nationals
and Senior meets.
A contingent of 44 swimmers, three
coaches and four chaperones recently travelled
to Federal Way, Washington for the 39th
Annual Washington Open. It was four days
of fast paced trials and finals. Our swimmers
were amazing! They achieved 92 top 24 places,
180 best times, 55 heat winners, 18 Far Western
qualifying times, 4 Sectional cuts, and brought
home the second place trophy with 898 points.
Well done!

DG2 Student Teachers Meet the
Stars of “Madame Houdini” in Reno
How often does one get
the opportunity to stand on
a professional stage and mix
and mingle with professional
entertainers? It would be a thrill
of a lifetime, and that is exactly
what the Student Teachers from
the Dance Gallery 2 had the
chance to do when they recently
traveled to Reno to see the
spell-binding show “Madame
Houdini”!
The Dance Gallery 2
Student Teachers are a volunteer
group of dance students, ages 1318, who participate in a program
that gives them learning experiences and
memories that will last a lifetime. The Student
Teachers work in children’s dance classes,
assisting the teachers and choreographers with
little dancers who aspire to grow up to be a
Student Teacher themselves someday.
Not only is the program designed to allow
these volunteer students an opportunity to
perform and perfect their dance skills, it also
gives special exposure to the arts with travel
and performance opportunities. The program
is also earns the participants their community
service credits to graduate from high school.
Leadership skills, confidence building and a
strong sense of community are very apparent
in these young, dedicated Student Teachers as
they grow within the Student Teacher Program.
The program was developed 19 years ago
to give dance students a positive and worthy

goal, other than a trophy from a competition.
However, it’s not just fun and games. The
Student Teachers must continuously train in
different dance genres to qualify for a position,
and they must be nominated into the group by
a current Student Teacher.
The DG2 brings in specialty
choreographers to offer workshops and classes
for anyone interested in promoting themselves
in dance, not just the Student Teachers.
Workshops and classes with Contemporary
choreographer Xavier Garcia, popular Zumba
instructor Michael Agraan, as well as partner
dancing with Steven Hayes, will be available
to anyone interested in dance and fitness in
the upcoming weeks. For further information

Annual Run Rocklin — April 12
Half-marathon course features rolling hills, challenging terrain
The 12th annual Run Rocklin will be
held Sunday, April 12 at Johnson-Springview
Park in Rocklin.
Last year a half-marathon (13.1 miles) was
added and helped the annual charity event have
a record-number 3,123 participants. The event
has benefited the Matt Redding Foundation
and Rocklin’s local schools since 2006. Run
Rocklin raised $29,000 in 2014.
Unlike other half-marathons in the
Sacramento region, Run Rocklin offers more
rolling hills and challenging terrain. The race
starts and ends at Johnson Springview Park,
5480 5th St. The half-marathon is limited to
the first 600 people who register.
Since 2003, Run Rocklin has provided a
top-notch running event for Rocklin and the
surrounding communities.
Run Rocklin includes: Free Kids Fun
Runs, Half Marathon, 5K Run/Walk and 12K
Run/Walk.
A year ago, Run Rocklin had more than 70
teams register. Creating a team is easy and fun,
and requires six or more people. For details,
please visit www.RunRocklin.com and go to
the “Create A Team” page. As a special bonus,
your team name will be printed on the back
of the event T-shirt for each team member.
Run Rocklin has become a significant
community event that has attracted teams
of runners from throughout the Sacramento
region.
“Teams have been a significant part of
Run Rocklin for several years and this year our
goal is to have 100 teams. Teams are groups of
6 or more people who want to run or walk any
of the distances with their friends and family,”
Race Director Larry Osborne said. “They are
not competitive teams, but just a fun way to
share and enjoy the Run Rocklin experience.”
Awards will be given to the top-three
finishers in each age group for the 5K, 12K
and half-marathon events. Awards and prize
money will also be given to the top-three male
and female overall finishers in all three races.
Prize money will be awarded to the top-three
largest school teams. Every half-marathon
finisher receives a “Run the Rock” medal and
all other finishers get a ribbon.
Matt Redding Scholarship Foundation
The race helps raise money for local
schools and for the locally-run, nonprofit
Matt Redding Scholarship Foundation. Run
Rocklin raised $23,000 last year and has now
given $103,000 in memory of Matt Redding,
the fallen Rocklin Police Officer.
A popular Rocklin Police Officer, Matt
Redding tragically died while on duty October
2005 when he was struck and killed by a vehicle
that was driven by an intoxicated driver.
“Matt loved this community and would
be so honored that people are running year
after year in a race that supports a scholarship
foundation in his name,” said John Redding,
Matt’s father.
To register, visit www.RunRocklin.com.

become a sponsor or volunteer, e-mail Larry
Osborne at [email protected] or call

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.
