Tom and Gail Devitt — Doing what they love!
BY ANN WAHLENMEIER
It was probably a year before the
ride when Gail Devitt first suggested to
her husband, Tom that she and Wendy
Appleby were thinking of doing a long
distance bicycle ride.
How long a ride? 58 days and 3064
miles!
How did she learn about a ride
that long? A New York company called
Womens Tours organizes these kind of
bike trips for women only. The one Gail
was talking about was along the southern
tier of the United States. They would start
in San Diego and end in St. Augustine, Fl.
That’s a lot of riding.
But Tom knew his wife of 44 years. If
she thought she could do it, she would. Gail
and Wendy submitted their applications.
They were accepted. Then the real training
began. The two spent hours riding the hills
and valleys around the Sacramento area.
Wendy had experienced long rides in the
past... but not this long. Gail and Wendy
worked with Gina in the Fitness Center
for upper body strength, necessary for a
ride this rigorous.
On February 24th, the Cycling Club
gave them a send off party. Tom had the
Gail and Tom Devitt
family over for a send off dinner the
night before they were to leave. Sun
City resident, Linda Fletcher set up a
blog entitled “Gail and Wendy hit the
road” for them to record their days on
the road. The blog was posted on the
Sun City website.
Finally the departure day: March
5th. Tom loaded the car with their
luggage and bicycles and drove them
down to San Diego. On March 7th he
waved as they put their back tires into the
Pacific Ocean and pedaled off to Arizona
and other southern states along the way.
Gail and Tom met in Sausalito,
CA at the Turtle races at Zac’s (now
Margaritaville) in 1967. Tom was from
New Jersey and Gail from Connecticut.
Gail and a girlfriend had moved
to California that year. After Tom
graduated from Seaton College, he
joined the Air Force and was stationed
in California. They married in 1969 in
Manchester, CT where Gail’s family
lived at the time. When Tom left the
Air Force he worked in the electronics
industry eventually becoming a computer
consultant.

Huge Appreciation —
All the Foundation Directors and
Volunteers want to make clear how much
we appreciate the generosity of our Sun City
Garden and Fine Arts Clubs. These two groups
recently staged a number of garden tours where
gardens and strategically-placed fine art pieces
were displayed. Tickets sold like hot cakes!
And, guess what? The proceeds from the
ticket sales were donated to the Foundation!
We owe these people a huge and hearty thanks
for their generosity.
Five Sun City residents whose gardens the
Garden Club felt were unique in some way and
would show the art pieces to good advantage
were selected. Ticket holders viewed the
gardens and the art in no particular order
starting at 10 AM. Many of the art pieces were
also offered for sale and a number of them
sold – giving the artist yet another opportunity
to create something new.
To these two clubs as well as all those who
purchased a ticket, we thank you in the most
sincere way imaginable.
Golf Tournament —
Speaking of hearty thanks, the same
goes to all the players and volunteers that
participated in this year’s June 7th Foundation
Golf Tournament. It was a big success again and
a lot of fun for those taking part. Special thanks
go to Bill Whitney – the event’s organizer and
one of our Foundation directors.
Next Bingo - August 4 —
Mark
your
calendars now
for the next
Foundation Bingo
event – coming
up on Sunday,
August 4. That’s
only a month from
now! We’ve been fine- tuning our new Bingo
games and they should be better than ever.
New Bench Signs —
A few months ago, we noticed that the
signs on all those benches that say the bench
was donated by the Foundation were almost
impossible to read. So, new signs featuring
white letters on a black background (and our
new updated logo) have been glued on – and
they look really good! Be sure to take a look and
see for yourself! There are 13 of the benches
located in our parks and other common areas
around Sun City.

Next General Meeting: Thursday, August
8, 2013, 10:00 AM, Sierra Pines, Spruce Room.
Light refreshments will be served. Back by
popular demand, our speaker will be Laura
Wayman, The Dementia Whisperer. Laura’s
presentation on issues relating to dementia and
Alzheimer’s was so informative and interesting
at our April 11th meeting that we’ve been asked
to have her return to continue sharing her
knowledge with us. All residents are welcome.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Carol,
771-2731, or Dorothy, 771-8026.
Parking Lot Sale: Another successful sale
of beverages and donuts to sustain the vendors
and buyers! Many thanks to Gerry Mathews
and her team for all their efforts: Shirley
Kemmerer, Joan Thomas, Peg Hall, Dorothy
Scanlon, Nancy Sinclair, Joan Cameron, Helen
Deam and Marlene Holladay. Good Job!
Medical Equipment Loans: Our new
storage facility adjacent to the lodge parking
lot is now available!
To borrow a wheelchair, walker or cane,
call 462-7261 and our monitor will meet you
there to issue the equipment. If you need a ramp
installed at your home, call Carl Hentschke,
771-9833. He will also recycle ramps that are
no longer needed. Thank You to John Lerch
who volunteers to maintain and repair the
equipment. Also much appreciation to the

We need a better size bar room
During the past few months I have
found myself going down to the Lodge on
Friday nights to enjoy the food, spirits and
entertainment (dancing).
What I have found is a very popular place.
I found that a person has to get a reservation
if they want a table to sit at to continue a very
entertaining evening and this causes a problem,
as the place is crowded. Also, even if tables
are open, the hosts say they are there only for
dinner reservations, not to just sit and have a
drink and appetizers, I know I asked yet I saw
tables for just two people staying open all the
way till the band stop playing at 9:00 p.m. yet
if the band members wanted to rest during a
break they sat at these tables got up and visited
with their friends, or just talked to the people
while taking their break leaving, the table open
with the flower plants still sitting on one of the
chairs that was removed from the tables when
the table cloth was removed long before the
Break… MMMMM?
What happen next is with the conversation
of many people there. They felt since this Goose
with the Golden Egg has appeared it’s time to
built out on the dinning area and get a area
for a better size bar room, now it is crammed
with dinner tables. Many expressed frustrations
on how this community has invested more
into the golf courses then in the renovation
of the Lodge.
Now if I were to take a percentage of who
spoke up about this it was the ladies. Maybe
it’s time this dinning area and bar room be
expanded so go for the Community Board
ladies and let them put it up to a community
vote and then maybe there will be many happier
hours at the lodge on Friday nights.

Response to Gene Martineau
I appreciate Mr. Matineau’s concern
about the Tea Party and who it represents. I
must re-emphasize that our goals of limited
government based on the Constitution, fiscal
responsibility at all levels of government and
the promotion of the free enterprise system,
all of which have been the back bone of our
country since its founding, are most likely
supported by many citizens no matter which
political party they belong to and by many
independent voters.
We have seen, however, over the past years
(yes, even when the Bush administration was
in office) an assault on our 1st amendment
rights with the creation and expansion of
Homeland Security with the TSA invasive “pat
downs” and wire taps on citizen’s telephones
without judicial review; the efforts at both the
federal and state levels to neutralize the 2nd
amendment by restricting the rights of citizens
to own and carry guns for personal protection;

Seniors Need to Know!
Long Term Care Insurance
BY IGNACIO CESPEDES
The increasing need for in-home care
is irrefutable. Elderly people and some
younger individuals with disabilities or
chronic illnesses require help with activities
of daily living such as bathing, dressing,
transferring, toileting, eating, continence,
as well as assistance with transportation
and meal preparation. A recent report
from AARP shows that the cost of unpaid
caregiving provided by family and friends
was $450 billion in 2009, rivaling the cost
of the entire Medicaid/Medi-Cal program.
While some caregiving is provided out of love
and compassion, most of those unpaid care
hours result from a lack of funds to cover
the cost of hired in-home care. Unpaid
caregivers in California spend, on average,
over 18 hours a week helping their loved
one. This takes a great toll on caregivers,
who often become ill due to the physical and
emotional stress of caregiving or by the lack
of attention to their own health.
Paying for in-home care is covered
either by private funds, long term care
insurance, or, if eligible, by a governmental
program. The average cost of a caregiver
is about $20/hr. Few families have long
term care insurance because of denial,
procrastination, and the thought that
premiums are too costly; however it may not
as expensive as one would think. Long Term
Care (LTC) insurance premiums average
$1,500 to $3,000 per year, depending on
one’s age, health, marital/partner status,
amount of coverage, and the insurance
company. The younger you are, the lower
the premium. Without LTC, out-of-pocket
costs can be as much as $40,000 to $80,000
per year, depending on the kind of care
(unskilled or skilled); the extent of care
(number of hours per day or week); and
the location of care (home or facility care).
Be aware that some older policies do
not cover caregiving in the home (home
care), but most policies today are more
comprehensive and cover home care and
facility care. Many policies have a daily
benefit ranging from $100 to $200 a day. If
the costs for the home care service exceed
the benefit covered by the insurance, the
difference is paid out of pocket.
L ong term care beneficiaries
usually have difficulty understanding (or
remembering) the way the insurance policy
works. Frequently, they are surprised – even
upset – about having an ‘elimination period’
or ‘waiting period’ before benefits start.
Some long term care policies do not have a
waiting period for in-home care, even when
there is a waiting period for assisted living

Schools out! We are on vacation! Some
kids are happy, and some are sad. Attitude and
life’s experiences, isn’t that what determines
our outlook on life. As a volunteer of SHORS
we can make a difference in a child’s attitude,
and I personally have a lot of fun as I interact
with the kids.
At the end of August, the schools will begin
to request our help and we’ll have a chance
to pick our assignments. Some of my personal
tasks helping the teacher this past year have
included reading, listening to a student read,
helping with math tests, correcting papers,
coloring Easter eggs, helping plant seeds in a
container, and many other interesting tasks.
It has been a fun and rewarding year. Many
other volunteers have expressed the same
experiences. Please come join us!
We just had our elections and
congratulations to our new President Jan
Newburn. Jan has been our Vice President
for several years and is well qualified to lead
SHORS. I want to wish her much success in
leading SHORS.
The following are the new board members:
President - Jan Newburn, Vice President

or nursing home care, or the waiting period
does not apply if the client is in hospice.
The most significant element of this
discussion about planning ahead for long
term care is peace of mind. Reaching the
point in life when you need a caregiver to
assist with the activities of daily living is
never easy. Those individuals who had the
foresight and wherewithal to have purchased
long term care insurance now enjoy peace of
mind as it relates to the financial burden of
long term caregiving. There is also a sense
of relief from having the services of a nurse
who will advise the family on a plan of care
and can assist in the coordination of that
care. If you desire, consider leaving a legacy
for your children so they can care about you;
not for you. Both you and they will breathe
easier when the time comes.
It is the overall goal of the Placer Older
Adult Advisory Commission to promote the
well-being and to enhance the quality of life
for older adults of Placer County by advising
the Placer County Board of Supervisors
and the Placer Department of Health and
Human Services on issues affecting the lives
of older adults. Meetings are held the 3rd
Tuesday of the month at 1:00 p.m. For more

Executive Director Comments Citizens Patrol/Neighborhood Watch
Déjà vu All Over Again; and Again
BY EARL WIKLUND
The new fiscal year is upon us once
again. Now that we have the new budget
approved and the new Board of Directors
determined, we are off and running to
accomplish the new goals, objectives and
projects for the New Year. The term of the
Board of Directors begins when they are
officially sworn in by Mayor Susan Rohan,
of the City of Roseville at our Annual
Meeting on August 1th in the Timber Creek
Ballroom. The new Officers of the Board
are elected during the Annual Meeting as
well. In addition, the Executive Director will
present the State of the Association speech
at this time. All residents are encouraged
and welcome to attend.
The Board will complete their Board
Orientation in July that includes meeting
with every Association department director
or manager and receive a briefing on their
respective department operations. Also
included in the two-day orientation is a briefing
on the Association’s governing documents;
and a meeting with the Association attorney
to discuss any outstanding legal issue. The
Board will meet in a different setting at an
offsite Board Retreat later in August. At the
retreat, the Board will work with the Executive
Director in developing goals for the New
Year. Implementation of the new goals will
either be completed by newly assigned Board
Work Groups, Association committees or the
Executive Director and staff. These goals are
published for the benefit of every resident and
tracked throughout the year.
New Board Liaisons to the community
committees will be confirmed at this time as
well. They are responsible for attending the
sessions of all Board committees to assist as
needed and to keep the rest of the Board
informed of any actions taken or discussed.
During this same time period, the Secretary
of the Board will conduct training and
orientation for all new committee chairs
that are confirmed at the August Board
Meeting. There are still many opportunities
for volunteer residents to apply to serve on
one of the Association committees. If you are
interested, please contact Administration to
submit an application.
Once the Association goals and objectives
are determined at the Board retreat, the
Executive Director communicates these to the
directors and managers at their Management
Retreat to be held in late August. At this
meeting, the Executive Director reviews
and discusses the budget, prior year
accomplishments, Board Goals, departmental
objectives and outstanding operational issues.
In addition, the Executive Director meets with
the departmental managers on a routine basis
throughout the year to monitor the progress
being made on the goals and objectives for
the year. Again, we would like to encourage
all residents to visit your Association in
action and join us for the monthly Board and
committee meetings. Regardless, remember
to enjoy your Community every day.

An estate plan is not something you “do” once, only to
stick it in a drawer and never look at it again. If your
documents don’t stay up to date as your life and the law
changes through the years, it’s unlikely they will work in a crisis.

Favorite
Restaurants
BY MARTIN GREEN
SCLH resident Fred Ekman e-mailed:
“I enjoyed your article in this month’s Sun
Senior News regarding the Asian restaurant
in Roseville. My wife and I stumbled across
Happy Garden at 150 Lincoln Blvd. last month
and have been back three times for dinner
and once for lunch. Outstanding flavors!
The restaurant is clean and the large round
tables with ‘lazy Susans’ make dining there
a wonderful experience for groups of 6 to 8.
“The restaurant, which used to be a
Chinese buffet, is now under new ownership
and is serving some of the best Manchurian
cuisine we’ve ever had. The family that owns
and operates Happy Garden are from the
northeastern part of China (Hunan region)
and are very good at preparing and serving
inexpensive meals for lunch and dinner. You’ll
need to ask for take home boxes as the servings
are plentiful.
“We are spreading the word to all we
meet to help this family grow their business
here in Lincoln. Their hours are 11 to 9
daily, but they are closed on Monday to shop
for Asian ingredients throughout the region.
Dad is the chef, Mom serves and daughter is
at the register.”
I queried Fred about the dishes they liked
and he replied: “The chow mein is a real hit.
Larger noodles than found in Cantonese dishes
and wonderful flavors. Also, when we have
dinner there for just the two of us, we order
the restaurant’s Plan B, which includes steamed
fried rice, golden fried prawns, hot and sour
soup, spring egg rolls, General chicken and
house special chow mein. With additional
guests, another dish will be added for the
group, like beef with broccoli, a deluxe
vegetable and King Pao chicken. All of
this for $9.95 per person. Enough to take
home.” Fred adds that lunches are $4.95,
with lots of choices.
Thanks, Fred. It sounds as if you’ve found
a good, and highly affordable, Asian restaurant
in Lincoln that Sun City residents will be happy
to support. Happy Garden opened in January.
The phone number is 645-3888.
Coincidentally, my Guys Lunch Group
recently ate at another fairly new Chinese
restaurant, Leo’s Kitchen, at Foothills and
Pleasant Grove in Roseville. Leo’s a moderatesized restaurant, seats 81, and is clean and
neat with comfortable booths. I asked about
the name, which seemed more suitable for
a delicatessen, and was told that Leo is the
family’s last name. Like Happy Garden, Leo
is a family restaurant. It’s been open for four
months.
Being good thrifty seniors, all of us guys
ordered from the “Super Value Lunch” menu,
whose prices range from $5.95 to $6.75. As I
recall, we all had chicken, sweet and sour, kung
pau and cashew, $5.95 each. Besides these, the
menu has lemon, orange and sesame chicken,
$6.25 each. There’s also Mongolian beef,
($6.25) and curry, sesame and general shrimp
($6.50 each), plus walnut shrimp ($6.75). All
of these lunches come with soup of the day (we
had a choice of won ton, my favorite, and sweet
and sour), egg roll and steamed or fried rice.
Aside from the lunch specials, Leo’s, like
most Asian restaurants, has an extensive menu
that covers all of the dishes we’re used to (and
maybe some others). To give an overviews,
there are appetizers, noodles and soup,
*G:PVS'FFU)VSU$BMM%S,FMMFS%1.
barbecue, chicken, beef, seafood and pork, as
well as Clay Pot dishes and Leo’s Chef’s Special.
To give some examples, appetizers include egg
and spring rolls, golden fried prawns and foil
wrapped chicken; soups include wonton and
chicken noodle; pork includes sweet and sour
and szechuan; beef includes Kung Pao and
Hunan; seafoods include a number of shrimp
items, pan fried salmon stead and crispy fried
founder; and Clay Pot includes curry chicken
and curry beef. Chef’s Specials include crispy
walnut shrimp, orange chicken and black
pepper steak. In addition to all this, there are
“Combination Platters,” a “Super Set Family
Dinner,” $12.95, and a “House Special Family
Dinner,” $14.95.
Leo’s Kitchen, as with Happy Gardens,
is a good, very affordable family restaurant,
another one that Sun City residents can
happily support. It’s open seven days a week,
11 AM-9:30 PM. The address is 7441 Foothills
Boulevard. The phone number is 788-1998.
I might add that our Guys Lunch Group was
very satisfied with Leo’s (the service was fine)
and would be glad to go back there again.
A bit of sad news. I received this e-mail
from Bistro La Petite France, which started out
here in Roseville on Foothills Boulevard, then
move to, I believe, Folsom, then to Granite
Bay. “Chef and I regretfully inform you that
Bistro La Petit France will be closing its doors
on Sunday, June 2, 2013. This is due to the still
recovering business climate and slow traffic at
our location. While this is a challenging day
for us, it allows us to refocus on our family
with some welcome free time. Bistro La
Petit France has been in business since 2006
and Chef Christofe and I have enjoyed every
moment of your patronage and having the
opportunity to thank you for all your past
business, friendship and support. We are very
9
thankful and grateful to have had you as our
customers; it has been a delight to have gotten
to know you all. We will send more news to
you about our culinary future soon. Sincerely,
Christophe and Claudine.” I’m sure many
readers will remember Bistro La Petit France
as a first-rate restaurant and I hope it will rise
again, possibly closer to Roseville and Lincoln.
For readers who may have missed last
month’s column, the Asian restaurant in
Roseville referred to above is Asian Bliss,
reported on by Mary Ann George. Asian
Bliss is at 8680 Sierra College Boulevard. The
phone number is 789-2547.
Way back in January we reported on
La Huaca thanks to Jim and Amy Costello’s
enthusiastic e-mail. It’s pretty close to Asian
Bliss, at 9213 Sierra College Boulevard. The
phone number is 771-2558.
Well, three Asian and a Peruvian
restaurant to choose from. We can’t say
our area lacks for a variety of eating places.
Please keep sharing these with your Sun
City neighbors by e-mailing your finds to
mgreensuncity@yahoo.com. Thanks.
Anniversary reminder:
The Sun Senior
News wants to help
you celebrate your
anniversary! Just email
a photograph with a
note telling us how
long you’ve been married and any other
facts you think might be interesting (i.e.,

These kids have the right idea, take the
bus! You can reserve a spot on one or two
buses for the Heritage Trail. On Saturday,
the bus loads up at the upper parking lot of
the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn and
heads east, stopping at the Skisport Museum,
the Golden Drift Museum, the Colfax Area
Heritage Museum, and the Forest Hill Divide
Museum before heading back to Auburn. This
bus leaves the fairgrounds at 8:45 am and
returns at 4:30 pm.
The Sunday bus also begins at the Gold
Country Fairgrounds parking lot and heads
west. It stops at the Rocklin Historical Society
Museum, the Maidu Historic Site and Museum,
the Roseville Historical Society Carnegie
Museum, the Roseville Telephone Museum
and the Griffith Quarry Museum before
returning to Auburn. The bus departs the
fairgrounds at 9:30 am and returns at 4:15 pm.
So pack your own lunch, sit back, relax
and let us do the driving. We promise your
ride will be a whole lot smoother than the one
these youngsters got on their way to school!
Each seat costs $10.
The Heritage Trail is a free tour of 19
museums from Roseville to Tahoe. You can
ride the bus, walk, drive or bike to each of
the museums!
For more information or to reserve your
seat, please call 530-889-6500. Call soon

Wendy didn’t realize Gail had stopped and ran
into her. They both ended up on the ground
entangled in bikes. Extricating
themselves from this debacle
was akin to an episode of I
Love Lucy.
Within their cycling
group, Wendy and Gail were
high middle.
“The fast riders were
called the Wolf Pack,”
describes Gail. “They always
passed us. One day we
decided to race them. They
didn’t know it was a contest.
We beat them! It was the only
way we could.”
“For me the total and
ongoing support of Tom
made a huge difference in
my starting, continuing, and
finishing this long ride. I never
felt I was putting him out in
any way,” Gail sums it up.
“He encouraged me every on
step . . . and there were lots
of steps!”
Florida was the last step.
On May 2nd Gail, Wendy,
and 25 other women riders,
escorted by police, dipped
their front tires in the Atlantic
Ocean in St. Augustine.
And Tom was there to
share in it.

Sun City Singers
BY JACKIE PROETT
It’s July and if you’re feeling Patriotic
take a stroll down Del Webb and stop at the
“found” Lost Lake. The Gardeners must have
had July 4th in mind when they planted the
red carpet roses and the white and blue Lilies
of the Nile. Sun City always has lots of reds
and whites but to get blue you have to have
the lilies or Plumbago. Our Gardeners show
their expertise in all their plantings!
The Singers have always loved their Red,
White and Blue music but in times past it wasn’t
always fun standing outside in the heat. We
did end our concert, however, with one of our
favorite “Flag-wavers”, I’M PROUD TO BE
AN AMERICAN. What a thrill it was to sing
that to a standing Audience. It was a super
ending to a very successful concert. Almost
450 stalwarts were in attendance.
One bit of trivia---this year our “grand”
ticket seller, Gloria Abben-Lally was challenged
by our own Director, Paul Melkonian, who sold
many seats to Lincoln Sun City Singers whom
he accompanies. In exchange, many of our
Singers attended their concert as well. This
could be the start of a nice tradition!
Hope all of you were able to celebrate at
our June 14th Flag Day Wrap party! Kudos
to Barbara Teel and her Soprano Team! The
food was delish and the company divine! Our
new slate of Officers were soundly installed
and sworn in and all of us were once again
reminded that we are part of a talented and
loving group.
Come join us Sun City newcomers. Music
is the language everyone speaks. We meet
on Thursdays at 2:30 PM at the back of the
Ballroom. Wait a minute! Don’t come now,
we’ve gone fishing! See you in August!

All Tuned Up
BY LETHA DAWSON
Stephen Kenworthy has been finding
melodies on guitars for about half a century.
And he’s not tired yet of the beautiful sounds
which tell stories. He discovered music in
Kansas City at age fifteen when his Step-Dad
taught him a couple of chords and two songs
on the guitar. After serving in Korea, with
just a hundred dollars to his name, he knew
the one thing he had to buy. He handed over
his $100 on a $300 guitar, bought a couple of
instruction books and started a love affair.
Stephen knew he wasn’t just a strummer.
Melodies and life stories were what intrigued
him. The sounds of country and bluegrass
music moved him. Some of Stephen’s favorite
songs, which he’ll sing for you if you ask him,
are “Ballad of Thunder Road,” from the
movie starring Robert Mitchum, and many
songs of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Sr.,
such as “Your Cheatin Heart”, “I Can’t Help
Steve
Kenworthy
It If I’m Still In Love With You,” and “Hey,
Good Lookin’.” There are a couple of darn
good banjo pickers in his music group these
days whose pickin’ has snatched his attention.
That’s right, now he’s learning to play the banjo.
Stephen moved to Sun City four years ago
and lives with his sweet sister and her husband.
In the last six months, he has shed forty pounds
just by walking to Walmart and Home Depot.
If you see him a little fatter in the future, it will
be because of that Chevy Blazer truck he just
bought. Ask him what he thinks of “All Tuned
Up,” the group of musicians who gather every
Thursday morning from 9:00-11:00 A.M., in
the Ponderosa Room at Sierra Pines. Stephen
probably will say quietly, “It’s a great place to
be with people.”

Harmonicoots
BY BUD GARDNER
Wrapping up our 9th year, we Coots held
our annual Potluck Dinner on Thursday, June
6th, in the Spruce Room. What an evening it
was. The wide variety of tasty food set the tone,
followed by a fun-filled Open Mic session with
Coots’ solos and group play accompanied by
Sandy Chandler on guitar. Marian Applegate
coordinated the food dishes, Jennifer Martin
and her crew decorated the room, and Ethel
Nihei managed the kitchen.
This year, the Coots’ Ensemble played 31
gigs in the community, including 12 caroling
gigs for Sun City shut-ins, during the holiday
season. Now seasoned entertainers, the
Ensemblers kept the audiences tapping their
feet, clapping their hands, and singing along.
On Friday, June 7th, the two-hour gig
played at the Colusa County Fair for their
Senior Day ended the Ensemble’s season.
Even though the Coots will enjoy a summer
hiatus from regular meetings until Thursday,
July 25th, they will not be idle over the summer.
On Tuesday afternoons, Robert Keeling will
teach harmonica basics to our newest Coots’
members and will hold harmonica repair
sessions in the Ponderosa room. Coots’
Summer Jam sessions, coordinated by Don
Rogers, began on Thursday, June 13th, at
1:00 p.m., in the Ponderosa room with Elmer
Nemeth and Bruce Turley leading the group.
Other leaders are Bill Hartman, Don Rogers,
Sandy Chandler, and Robert Keeling. The
Coots will not meet on Thursday, July 11 in
the Ponderosa room.
To all Sun City residents, do drop by
any Coots’ Thursday Summer Jam sessions
and join in the fun. Good music will always
brighten your world. If you’d like to take up
the harmonica and make your own delightful
harmonica music, contact Bud Gardner, Head
Coot, at (916) 781-2830 or at budgardner@
surewest.net. Meanwhile, have a great summer.

SCR Dance Club
BY ADA GRABEKLIS
Welcome to our new Council!
The
following people were elected at our June
12 Election Dinner/Dance: Helen Ohman,
President; Ron McKinsey, Vice President;
Stella Rankin, Secretary; and Charlie
Baughman, Treasurer. Thank you to all of
them for being willing to donate their time to
running the Club. Other Council members
will be introduced at this month’s Council
meeting on July 24.
The aforementioned Election Dinner/
Dance was a sell-out. We were entertained,
as always, by our very own dancers. Thanks
to the Cloggers, Jazzers, and Tappers for
their performances. We are fortunate to have
talented people willing to practice, practice,
and practice.
There is no Third Wednesday Night Party
this month. An August party for Level 2, 3 and
4 Line has been scheduled so get that on your
calendar. But, all classes continue through the
summer so get on the floor and move!
Ballroom will continue with the present
format of one-half hour of instruction and
one and one-half hours of open dancing. The
dance being taught in July will be the Night
Club Two-Step.
Don’t forget to renew your membership
this month. We ended up with 312 members
for the last fiscal year – we want to see each
and every one of you back this year! All Sun
City Roseville residents are invited to join in
the fun. The forms may be obtained from the
class monitors or in the kiosk.
I want to thank many of you who have
given me positive comments the past two years.
I appreciated (and needed) every one of them!
I’m leaving you with my favorite quote:
Life is not about waiting for storms to pass.
It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.

SCR Postage Stamp Group
BY DICK REINGOLD
Most people, and that includes some
stamp collectors, are not aware of the fact
that there was a truck that was designed and
built especially to travel around the country
to make people aware of the interesting and
educational benefits of collecting stamps.
President Franklin Roosevelt and Postmaster
James Farley, both enthusiastic stamp
collectors, came up with the “Philatelic” truck
idea and so one was built. The custom built
and heavily armored truck carried a display of
United States stamps and handed out publicity
material promoting stamp collecting, especially
among children.
The first appearance of the truck was on
May 9th, 1939 on the White House lawn. In
addition to the stamp display, the truck carried
a working miniature rotary press, showing how
stamps were printed and, in fact, did print a

old enough to remember them). Well whatever
it was, it I was screaming in bed, loud enough
to get an elbow in the ribs from my spouse. I
recall what she mumbled as she rolled over,
but I can’t repeat it in front of mixed company.
But, I guess everybody knows that I joined the
Travel Club to save money on our trips and to
go with my neighbors and friends. So, what’s
the big deal? In the end, all I got out of it was
some sore ribs!
Oh yeah, if you press me, I’ll admit that
there are some other reasons to join the Travel
Club. Not only saving money and traveling
with people you know, but you leave and return
right from the lodge. Additionally, you can get
a briefing and description of the trip before
signing up and then they have a post-trip get
together for little party as well as to find out
if you are going to receive any moolah back.
Yeah, it’s true! There are some trips when we
actually get a refund, but the amount depends
upon the number of people that go on the trip,
which translates into the amount of money that
the Club gets back from the travel company.
Well, anyway. The Travel Club still meets

picture yourself on one or more of your “bucket

is not included as a tour guide), or maybe

Rods & Relics Car Club
BY ELNA RAGAN
June has been a very busy month for
our Car Club. We won the Club Participation
Award at the Capital City Cruisers Springfest
for having the most Club cars attending.
Thunder in the Park, at Depot Park in
Rio Linda, was a very popular show held on
the last weekend in May. Seventeen of our
members attended. Dennis Doane brought
home a trophy for his baby blue ’41 Chevy
Coupe … always a winner!
Old Fair Oaks Village held its Fair Oaks
Fiesta Days “Show and Shine” on the first
weekend in May. Our Club had 10 members
attending. Tom McPhail brought home a trophy
for his ’32 Ford truck. Norm Penrice won a
trophy that honored Butch Gardner, who was
a legend in the local Street Rod scene.
On Friday, May 31, our Club joined
forces at the Thunder Valley Casino for a
“Show & Shine Show.” Over 300 cars were
entered. Participants enjoyed the camaraderie,
live music, and raffle that featured a Fender

coordinated the event.
The Rods & Relics partnered with the
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3010 to host
“The Downtown Lincoln Car Show” on
Saturday, June 1, Co-chaired by Alan Taylor

registered and over 60 trophies were presented.
The morning started with a hearty Pancake
Breakfast provided by Boy Scout Troop #160.
The Raffle Booth was a sight to behold: well
over 100 gift baskets and other specialty items
to bid on. There was also DJ music and lots of
food and vendor booths to visit.

SCR Water Fitness Club
BY MARY DIAL
Meet Margaret Sweeney, Class Rep
for Tuesday-Thursday 8:00 A.M. Though
Margaret and her husband of fifty-eight years
(congratulations!) have only been in Sun City
for two and one half years, she has been a class
rep for two years. She is clearly doing her part
of helping out in our wonderful fitness club.
However, she is the only rep at this time and
would like to have another rep work with her.
Her last partner, Flo Erickson, was unable to
continue due to an injury. Any volunteers
out there?
Margaret always feels energized by her
workout and appreciates having it available
right here in our own community. Long lasting
suits are desirable when you’re in the water a
lot and Margaret finds the suits
from Swim and Sweat are the
best for her.
Margaret and her husband,
Roy raised their family in the Bay
area (Moraga). They retired
to Twain Harte for twenty
years before moving to Sun
City and though they love the
lifestyle here she does miss the
mountains, but not the snow.

seem comfortable using Facebook, Twitter,
email, video calling, and texting, but for many
in our age group this is all magic, “smoke and
mirrors,” and as difficult to comprehend as
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
For two main reasons, we have to
overcome our resistance and give this
technology a try. In today’s world family and
friends may be situated anywhere on the globe,
and computer technology keeps us in touch.
Second, choosing to be a part of a community
like Sun City Roseville is an investment which
necessitates staying current on information
asc nd events.
O u r R e s i d e n t We b s i t e w w w .
suncityresident.com is there to satisfy that
second reason. The website has been designed
to be easy for the computer, tablet, or
smartphone novice to navigate. The login page
has a link for help. And, additional assistance
is available via email or phone.
Now, lets talk about some of those
blessings. Email and video calls keep us in
contact with people wherever they are. Access
to the Internet provides us with information on
virtually any topic in the Universe. And, the Sun
City Resident Website www.suncityresident.
com has many features that make living here
more convenient and enjoyable. Let’s explore
those few features that are easily reached by
the large buttons at the bottom of the Resident
Website’s home page.
The CLASSIFIED AD feature has gained
in popularity as users realize how easy it is
to sell stuff they no longer need, or buy stuff
that may be a bargain. Sitting at your home
computer device you can post an item and
then alert the Administration Office to place
your posting on the Lodge bulletin board for
twice the exposure. Even if you are not selling
anything, you might be interested in checking
out what treasures others may have listed.
The ONLINE REFERRAL BOOK is
certainly a blessing to anyone looking for
service companies that are worth their fee. If
we had a great experience getting repairs or
chores done, we enjoy telling others. Likewise,
if the experience was terrible, we want to get
the word out. Although Referral Binders are
maintained at the Lobby Monitor’s Desk,
the Resident Website www.suncityresident.
com saves that trip to the Lodge. All postings
submitted for those binders are uploaded to be
available from one’s computer device.
Our golf courses are highly rated. Many
residents moved here because golf is their
game. The RESIDENT TEE-TIMES button
is a great convenience for scheduling play.
The instructions to enter this site are easy to
follow. And, the information is available 24/7.
If you are just seeking golf course
information on TIMBER CREEK AND
SIERRA PINES GOLF COURSES, that

In retrospect, it would seem that this new
technology offers an abundance of blessings.
Although we may cuss and swear when we use
it, we have to admit it would be difficult to get
along without it. Computer technology has
become a part of our lives like the telephone
and television.
Compliance Q&A
Members of the Compliance Committee
and the Community Standards Department
(CSD) receive questions from time-to-time
about how the Committee and CSD handle
non-compliance issues, community canvassing,
etc. Here are some of the most frequently
asked questions:
Q: When I call the office or submit
a complaint form about a possible noncompliance violation, what is the process to
gain resolution?
A: Part B of the Association Rules,
Section 2.02(a) requires that when a noncompliance issue is brought to the attention of
the CSD, staff must first verify that a violation
exists. Then the non-compliant, property
owner is notified by letter (and telephone, if
possible) and a “grace period” is allowed for
the correction of the violation. If the violation
is not corrected, the CSD shall initiate further
steps as outlined in Article III (i.e., Hearing
Procedures).
Q: I was notified that certain items in the
front yard of my property did not comply with
guidelines and must be moved. Why is this?
A: The Compliance Committee
periodically conducts a community canvass
to ensure that residents are maintaining
their properties to “support the architectural
character of the community”, which helps to
maintain property values. Association Design
Guidelines (DG) Section 3.04 details items
that can be displayed without the approval of
the Architectural Review Committee (ARC),
and how these items must be screened from
the view of neighboring properties and the
street view. The recommended procedure
for complying with guidelines is to place art/
artifact items in “private space”, as defined in
DG Section 3.01.
Q: I want to paint my house but can’t
use the same color I have now. Why is that?
A: Recent revisions to California law
pertaining to paint formulas have resulted in
subtle changes to existing paint colors, and
new paint names. These changes required
that the ARC, working with the Community
Standards Department, devise a new paint
palette that was approved by the Board of
Directors at the April 2013 meeting. This
palette is available for viewing at the Monitors
desk or in the Administration Office during
normal business hours.
The resident volunteers on the Compliance
Committee are working in the interests of all
Sun City residents to help maintain the beauty
of our community and to maintain property
values. You are invited to attend our monthly
meetings, as they are open to all residents.
Beginning June 1, 2013, all committees began
recruiting new members for the new term
starting September 2013. If you have any
questions regarding the above, or any other
compliance issues, please call Lorri Booth
(774-3869) or Ryan O’Connell (774-3863) in
the Community Standards Department.

Response to Gene Martineau
(cont’ from page 3)
and the massive expansion of the federal
government by taking over responsibilities
not given to them in the Constitution and
emphasized by the 10th amendment (
examples: mandated Affordable Care Act,
Common Core); unreasonable search and
seizures (Homeland Security, FBI) which is
prohibited by the 4th amendment.
Particularly in California, we are
concerned about the expansion of laws,
excessive rules and regulations, and increased
taxes/fees that our elected officials deem
appropriate but should be focusing on less
spending. That the majority are Democrats
indicates that these goals seem to reside in that
party. However, I feel confident that there are
members of that party as well as Republicans,
libertarians and independents who prefer less
government interference in their lives than
we have now.

I'm running for a position on the Board of Directors for the SCRC Association

2013 SCRCA Candidate Ballot Statement—Roberta Daley
2
My husband, Ed, and I have lived in Sun City nearly 17 years. We moved here to enjoy
the lifestyle and the many amenities that Sun City Roseville has to offer.
I currently serve as Secretary on the SCRCA Board of Directors. I have enjoyed my past
two years as a Member of the Board and I would like to continue to serve our community
and our Association for another term.
My experience in Accounting as well as having served as a member of the Finance Committee allows me to act effectively in the important budget process and to achieve our
financial goals.
In addition to serving on the Finance Committee, I was Chair two years on the Chartered Clubs Committee and
Vice-Chair of the Elections Committee.
I currently serve on the Governing Documents Work Group.
I am active in community affairs and stay informed on issues and concerns of our community.
My goals as a member of the Board of Directors
‹Continue to preserve and enhance the Sun City quality of life for all residents and maintain the amenities,
services, and lifestyle opportunities we all enjoy.
‹Continue to protect the rights and privileges of our residents.
‹Support the efforts of our staff in order to keep our Association strong.
‹Continue to maintain our sound financial position while meeting current and future needs.
I welcome the opportunity to serve you again on the Board of Directors.
I ask for your vote.
The views expressed herein are those of this candidate and do not reflect the view of the Association, its directors, managers, employees, or agents. This candidate is solely
responsible for it’s content. The association is required by law to publish the communication as written regardless of the content. (Rev. 1.10.13)
2013 SCRCA Candidate Ballot Statement—Don Treichler
Reasons for running. Running for the Board is about giveback. My wife Abbie and I
have lived in Sun City for 15 years. We enjoy the lifestyle, the people, and the amenities
offered by SCR. This is made possible by the contributions of SCRA employees and
residents who serve on committees, the Board of Directors, and many other service
positions. This is part of why we moved here and it is why we stay here. So, this is an
effort on my part to contribute something back to Sun City.
What can I give? This is an opportunity to give of my time and knowledge to the SCRA. I am a former labor
leader, retired from the Marine Corps, flew worldwide as an airline captain, and an author. I am familiar with large
budgets, negotiating, working with others, writing documents, and public speaking.
Goals. If elected, I will work to preserve the services and facilities of Sun City. We also must remain mindful of
costs so assessments do not unduly burden residents living on fixed incomes.
Previous Sun City involvement. My SCRA service has been on the Government Affairs Committee for the past
three years and which I chaired for the past two years.
Important issues that face SCR. Issues important to SCR include preserving our lovely community, maintaining
prudent fiscal policies, and interaction with the city and county to ensure good, cost effective support, utilities,
and services. Lastly, your input will be received with an open mind.
The views expressed herein are those of this candidate and do not reflect the view of the Association, its directors, managers, employees, or agents. This candidate is solely
responsible for it’s content. The association is required by law to publish the communication as written regardless of the content. (Rev. 1.10.13)

Sierra Pines Ladies Golf
BY BARBARA CLEGG
Feeling independent? Well then, have
a bright and sun-shiny Independence Day,
complete with good food and fun with fabulous
friends. (Alliteration is my friend). I am
salivating just thinking of smoke rising from the
barbeque smelling of hot dogs, hamburger or
steak. Be sure to raise your flags and prop up
your lawn chairs and wait for fireworks to be set
off on July 3. July 4 celebrating is a done deal
at Sun City, but I don’t have to tell you that.
Regular play will be at the Pines on this
month’s fourth Wednesday. The Council meets
at the Pines at 2:00 PM on July 10. General
meeting is at the Pines July 17 after our “Beat

the Pro” tournament. We shamelessly brag in
our pro’s face at how glad we are to beat him;
probably not too endearing. Speaking of not
too endearing, Putt for Points rears its head on
July 10!!! It really IS great fun, especially with
Chair Elsie Ingram leading the cheers when
you have a good putting experience.
There will be an 18 hole mixer on July 24
which is always a good way to meet and enjoy
these nice gals and some of them, who for some
reason known only to them, play twice as many
holes as we do on Wednesdays. Continental
25
breakfast and lunch will be served and you may
win a prize, I can almost guarantee it (call me
about my fee). Only nine holes will be played
at this mixer, so not to worry….
Weren’t the Invitationals terrific? There
was a lot of camaraderie and loud laughter
emanating from the cars leaving North Ridge
after a terrific day of golf. Some of the winners
were Bev Warrington, Aud Bair, Kathy Fowler,
Gail Raglan, and Hideko Gongaware, for
various reasons. It is so nice to see familiar
friends and have the opportunity to meet new
ones playing at this beautiful Country Club.
The hugs almost never ceased! Rancho Murieta
is such a welcoming course to play, too, but
you’ll have to wait to find out who did what
to whom on June 21 in next month’s article.

SCR Ladies 18 Hole Golf
BY BARBARA NIZNIK
Many thanks to Olga Widnes, Dot Gray
and their committee for a fun filled Invitational.
Even the weather cooperated (what rain
drops?). It was two days of great golf, great
food, prizes, and, best of all, friendships new
and old. Thanks, ladies!
The next week was a low gross/low net
day with Flight 1 winners Niznik, Sampson,
Greenwood and McKee. Flight 2 honors went
to Quintel, Hilger, Schull and J. Smith. Grieve,
C. Brown,Habein and Engels took Flight 3
while Flight 4 winners were Bickell, L. Smith,
Swallender and Spadaro.
The annual Memorial Tournament took
place May 29 honoring those who have passed
on and celebrating past and current captains.
Team 1 was McKee (filling in for Shively),
Darlene and Bev after a good day of golf.

The fourth place team also included a blind
draw with Nakao, Jackson and Treleaven.
Rejects day on June 5 allowed us to rid
ourselves of 3 not-so-great holes. Not that we
had any of those! Flight 1 winners were Taylor,
Meyers and Rich-Schaffer with Flight 2 winners
Anderson, Lehnoff and Fredricks. Flight 3 was
led by G. Myers, Habein, Nakao, Nicholson

a perfect golf day, even if our scores weren’t.

Golden Niners
BY TOM MCCLELLAND
The closest thing to an individual
championship for the Golden Niners is that
rare occasion when they play individually
instead of as teams. Such was the case on
Tuesday, June 4. Three players shot net scores
of 30 for nine holes. In a playoff formula having
nothing to do with skill, Ambrose Roy was
declared winner. Roy is 90 years old.
in his first year here at Sun City, this should.
He took second place in the NCGA Senior
Net Championship last month. What are you
planning for an encore, Roger? Maybe the
Match Play Championship in September!

Club members gathered for lunch at the
Timbers on June 19. It was a quarterly meeting.
Club president J R Moors and wife Nancy
served liquid refreshments from their house
on the Lakes course when the Niners played
there last month.

Nancy Moors served beverage to
thirsty Golden Niners when they played
the Lakes course.
The others with net 30 scores were
Hartford Smith and Mike Wedemeyer. There
were no trophies or green jackets for the
winners, just a bit of spending money.
Big winner for May was the former Giants
batboy, Roy McKarcher. He earned $36 in
trade value at the Timbers Restaurant or pro
shop. Other winners for the month were Bob
Winter, $31; Ed Clegg, $26; Jerry Bell, $22;
John Geary, $22; and Bob Barr, $21.
Spring starting times are 7:30 and 10:00
for the two groups. The Niners play Tuesday
morning games, usually at the Pines. The early
and late groups compete with a shotgun start.
Once a month they play their nine holes at
either the Lakes or the Oaks course at Timber
Creek. A weekly entry fee of $2, plus green
fee, is charged.
The Niners are a relaxed, friendly group,
competitive but not overly serious. They enjoy
playing with new partners each week, teams
being picked based on relative handicaps.

Are you too impatient to play a full game
of croquet? Is your attention span too short to
keep your mind on the game for over an hour?
Is ninety minutes too long to stand for a croquet
game? Then GOLF CROQUET is the game
for you! Most games only last about twenty
minutes or so and the first person through the
wicket means that everyone can go on to the
next wicket. After four wickets
the game is over. What could be
easier? Every Tuesday evening
at 4:30 there will be lessons on
how to play Golf Croquet and
games will be played. There will
also be the social time as well. It
can’t get any better than that – a
social time, lessons, and short
games. Just bring an appetizer
and your favorite beverage and
join the fun.

SCR Table Tennis
BY KAREN YEATES
Well, it’s July and all
our loyal members know
what that means. Dues are
due!! Our fiscal year runs
from July 1st to June 30th,
so if you haven’t paid your
annual dues of $12 (cash
or check) please take care
of that by the middle of the
month.
Continuing from
where we left off last
month, here are the rest
of the types of shots one
can play:
Half volley – also known as a block, a ball
played soon after bouncing.
Kill – also
known as a smash, the ball is hit as hard as possible.
Lob – the ball is returned high with topspin so
it lands near the edge of the opponent’s half.
Loop (and counter loop) – a type of heavy
topspin when the ball dips in the air.
Push – a short basic stroke, used to contain or
control a rally.
Topspin
– a type of spin which makes the ball spin
clockwise as it leaves the paddle.
Now that we know all the types of shots one
can use (8 from last month and 6 listed above),
what type or style of player do you think you are?
Next month’s article will discuss eight different
types of players. Of course, many of us will
probably pick the eighth option – Developing
player (a player without any defined style yet!)
Play times - Tuesdays and Thursdays from
2 PM to 5 PM and Saturdays 9:30 AM until
Noon at Sierra Pines, unless you receive an
e-mail of a schedule change.
Answer to June’s Question of the month:
Table Tennis became a medal Olympic sport in
1988 – summer games in Korea.
This month’s question: What were the

Pickleball Club
BY SHERRY MOSBY
During the construction of our new
courts many of our players went on the road
to compete against other clubs in the area.
In May, Meadow Vista in Auburn held their
annual tournament. DJ Cox and Audrey Morse
took a Silver in their age division. In June at the
Sonoma Senior Games in Windsor, Richard
Norman & Mike Hilton took a Silver in the
Mike, Richard, Andrea, Robin
60-64 division. Richard Norman and Andrea
Mayorga took a Gold in the 60-64 division.
They did not lose a game on their way to a first
place finish. Andrea and Robin Haney took
a Gold in the women’s 60-64 division. They
then played one game against the Gold medal
winners in the 55-59 age division for bragging
rights and won by a score of 11-6. Looks like
Sun City Lincoln Hills pickleball players are
a force to be reckoned with!!
Next up is our Club Championship
Tournament on July 9, 10 & 11. This is an Open
Tournament, so it’s a pick your own partner
format. This will be a great tournament to
watch and will determine who will wear the
crown of excellence in each division for 2013.
Bring a chair for a front row seat and cheer on
your favorite players. Play will begin at 8:00 am.
Looking forward to September 4, 5 &
6 we will have the 2nd Annual Wells Fargo
Advisors Tournament. More information will
be available after the Club Championship.

lots of young men they immediately fall into
bed with, look unsuccessfully for jobs, smoke
pot, and spend all of their parents’ money.
Behind all of these hijinks is a close look
at the problems of today’s youth, the basic
causes of the Recession and the popularity of
salted pretzels. The series is rated high for
sex, violence, nudity, egotism and boredom.
Earth Invaded Again: this time the
invaders are capitalists from the planet
Gates whose spaceships rain down money on
the Earth. While earthlings scramble after
the money the Gatesians take over. This is
fine with most people but a small band gets
together to overthrow the invaders. The
band includes a high school cheer leader,
a male stripper, a reformed criminal and
Warren Buffet. The story doesn’t matter too
much because this series, unlike the others,
will probably last only two or three episodes.
So there you have it. And on top of
this, 24 will return, with an anti-terrorist
organization even more inept than our real
ones and a hero who never has to eat, sleep
or go to the bathroom. Get ready to spend
many enjoyable hours in front of the idiot
tube, uh, pardon me, the television.
PS: Beverly wanted me to assure readers
that the above TV shows, except for 24 coming
back, are imaginary (but you never know).
Observations Previews Next Fall’s Hit TV Shows
BY MARTIN GREEN
What, it’s July already? Then it’s time
to preview next fall’s sure-fire hit TV shows.
Smashville: two female singers vie for
the lead role in a proposed Broadway musical
based on the life of a glamorous country
music star who died of a drug overdose.
Bonnie is a fading star trying to revive her
career while holding together her family,
which includes an alcoholic husband, a
rebellious teenage daughter and a sinister
father who may or may not be a Russian spy
and at the same time fighting her feelings
for her drug-addicted guitar player. Josie
is a teen idol who wants to break into
Broadway theater while coping with her
alcoholic mother, her crooked manager
and a sinister father who may or may not be
a CIA agent. The story will center on the
machinations of the two rival singers with
sub-plots involving an egotistical director, a
homosexual chorus boy and a terrorist plot
to blow up Broadway theaters. The scene
will go back and forth between New York
City and Nashville and there’ll be many big
production country music numbers that will
all look and sound alike.
The Lost City: a plane carrying
passengers all having colorful pasts such as
an ex-dictator, a drug lord, the heiress to a
fortune, the world’s leading nuclear physicist
and an African-American man who may or
may not be Eric Holder crashes in a remote
jungle. The passengers all survive and
discover a Lost City with golden temples,
elaborate buildings, vast arenas and a locked
tower. The city at first seems deserted except
for a few giant apes and dinosaurs, but then
various characters appear, a famous explorer
long thought dead who claims the Lost
City holds the secret to the word’s end, an
arch-criminal out to steal the city’s treasure
and a tribe who may be descendants of the
original Lost City builders or escapees from
an asylum. The story will advance in small
steps because the back stories of everyone
will be carefully examined, interspersed
with scenes of the present and also scenes
of the future, some of which will take place
on Mars.
Desperate Househusbands. Half
a dozen househusbands live on a quiet
suburban street, taking care of the kids while
their wives pursue corporate or professional
careers. All seems well until one of the
husbands commits suicide, one of the kids
disappears and a stranger appears who seems
to be a mobster and who wants to take over
the community theater. It turns out that one
of the couples are Chinese spies, another are
fugitives from a Weathermen crime of the
1960’s and all of the others also have dark
pasts they want to hide.
Panic: the panic starts when all of the
world’s handheld devices suddenly stop
working. The economy collapses, teens
can’t text any more, crime soars, conspiracy
theorists blame the government, a group
of Techies calling themselves the Odd
Jobbers sets out to re-start the devices
while another group calling themselves the
Good Old Timers tries to bring back such
ancient devices as the typewriter and the
dial phone. The show centers on a family
where the father is a leader of the Good Old
Timers, the mother (unknown to anyone) is
a CIA agent assigned to track down who or
what caused the failure, the teen-age son is
a Techie and the daughter wants to be a rock
star. Suspicion arises when it’s discovered
that Uncle Bob’s iPad still works.
Vampires ‘R Us: A family moves into an
old mansion in a typical small American town
and shows everyone that vampires have the
same hopes and fears and other things just
like us except for some funny eating habits
and an aversion to sunlight. They also need
some orthodontic work. The father runs for
mayor, the mother joins the PTA, the son
becomes a high school basketball star and
the daughter wants to be a rock star. The
plot revolves around misunderstandings
when the husband bites a female teacher, the
wife eats a bloody steak at a PTA dinner, the
son discloses to his high school sweetheart
that he can turn into a bat and the daughter
refuses to have her teeth capped.
Young Girls in the Big City: four young
girls come to New York City in search of
excitement, adventure and young men.
Abigail is an innocent from a country town;
Becky is an aspiring actress; Cordelia wants
to be a stock trader and Dotty is open to
anything. They rent a loft together and meet
