Q. My insurance company won’t pay for a new windshield, what should I do if this happens again? A. Your insurance company will pay any amount over your deductible. 95% of people have a $250 to $500 deductible. And that means YOU PAY! What your insurance company won’t tell you? Lowering your comprehensive deductible to $0 will raise your six month policy about $40! That’s around $7 per month. Have you paid a deductible lately? Some insurance company’s don’t offer a zero deductible but $100 is way better than$ 250. Do the math, make the call and keep our number for the next time your windshield is damaged. And remember, it is a California state law that says a insurance company may not raise your rates or drop you based on a comprehensive claim.

LIFE’S JUST A WALK IN THE PARK FOR KINGS’ JERRY REYNOLDS by Jeffrey Weidel
O
n many early afternoons, Jerry Reynolds departs his spacious Roseville home and quickly develops a brisk cadence, walking with a purpose that belies his years. He’s right at home on the sidewalks of quiet neighborhoods, scenic parks, and the walking trails of Roseville, much like he is when slipping behind the microphone and dissecting another NBA game as the color analyst for the Sacramento Kings.

As an announcer of his beloved sport, the adrenalin begins to flow for Reynolds as the game nears and he adroitly slips into his TV persona. However, the daily walks don’t arrive with the same amount of enthusiasm. Sometimes they require a certain motivation, one where his iPod plays a major role. His Kings tenure began in 1985 as an assistant coach and has included multitude roles, “Some days I need a little pick-me-up,” ad- including head coach for nearly four seasons mits Reynolds. “That means it might be a (1987-90), Kings director of player personnel from 1994-2013, and Sacramento Monarchs Rolling Stones day for me.” General Manager for six campaigns (1998The raucous sounds of the Stones give 2003).

She’s a grinder; she really gets after it at the gym. She’s in great shape, still does her own housework and loves working in the yard.” A friendly man with a quick smile and even quicker wit, Reynolds realizes maintaining a healthy lifestyle is no joke.

An active tennis player for nearly 40 years who worked out several times a week, Reynolds switched his lifestyle simply because he had no other choice. “My doctor made that perfectly clear, it was a real eye-opener for me,” he said. Dodie didn’t join him right away. But like a lot of people as they age, she sensed something had to change as well. “I was tired all the time and putting on weight, and needed to something other than the daily chores,” explained Dodie. “I was getting stiff and had no flexibility. I started doing my workout routines and it has made a big difference.”

COLOMA SEIZES ON GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
STATE PARK COMMEMORATES 1848 GOLD DISCOVERY ANNIVERSARY

“To be creative and find new opportunities,” Okey said. “It started with gold and today it’s seen in the Silicon Valley. I call it the California Spirit.”

Constructed in 1890, the MarAnd James Marshall’s discovery of gold in the tailrace of Sutter’s Mill took on added significance this year because of the park’s new replica mill on the original site.
The working mill constructed in 1965 to replicate the Marshall mill has now been torn down and the new mill, built with hand-hewn timbers in the style of the 1840s at a cost of about $2 million, is ready for viewing.

THE CROCKER ART MUSEUM PRESENTS
T
he Crocker Art Museum is pleased to announce “Of Cottages and Castles: The Art of California Faience,” on view February 22 – May 17, 2015. Consisting of more than 120 of California Faience’s most beautiful vases, tiles, lamps, and figural works, this exhibition is an exploration of the best-known art pottery in Northern California. Asian, Hispano-Moresque, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco styles and techniques show the full range of the pottery’s innovation and success. One of the longest-lived art potteries in the American West, California Faience was founded in 1913 and remained a leader in the field until production ceased in the late 1950s. Along the way, the small company explored styles and techniques to the fullest, from Arts and Crafts vases to modernist figural works, from matte Cuenca-type tiles to dazzling ginger-jar pots with crystalline glazes. The founder of California Faience, Chauncey R. Thomas, moved from Deerfield, Massachusetts, to Berkeley in 1912. Trained at the New York State School of Clayworking, he had led a pottery in Deerfield, a center of artisanal craftsmanship. Within two years after Thomas opened California Faience, one of his friends from the New York school, William V. Bragdon, was teaching at the California School of Arts and Crafts. The success of their wares at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in 1915 convinced them to join forces. Their partnership was the core of California Faience, which retained its artisanal outlook throughout its history. Their tiles attracted the attention of the famed architect Julia Morgan by 1920. Finding their

“Of Cottages and Castles: The Art of California Faience” tiles the perfect complement to her plans for William Randolph Hearst, she sent them designs to produce for Hearst’s San Simeon mansion, then under construction. This collaboration on “Hearst Castle” lasted ten years, during which time the company expanded and moved to new quarters. Thomas and Bragdon’s creative spark continued to drive them towards new achievements, including crystalline glazes, new forms, and innovative glazes. This creativity was to save them and their company when, almost at the same time, the Hearst commission ended and the Great Depression began. The later years of California Faience brought their refined techniques to a new generation, not only in the market but also in collaborations with Northern Californian artists and artisans. ABOUT THE CROCKER ART MUSEUM The Crocker Art Museum was the first art museum in the Western U.S. and is one of the leading art museums in California today. Established in 1885, the Museum features one of the country’s finest collections of Californian art, exceptional holdings of master drawings, a comprehensive collection of international ceramics, as well as European, Asian, African, and Oceanic art. The Crocker is located at 216 O Street in downtown Sacramento. Museum hours are 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Tuesday – Sunday; 10 a.m. – 9 p.m., Thursdays. Every third Sunday of the month is “Pay What You Wish Sunday” sponsored by Western Health Advantage. For more information, call (916) 808-7000 or visit crockerartmuseum.org.

PICKLE BALL
FOR BOOMERS, PICKLEBALL IS NOT COURT OF LAST RESORT By Gary Moffat | co-owner of a restaurant and wine shop in Old Town Auburn.
I
have have discovered the path to world peace, and it is a game called “pickleball.” In fact, if diplomats could find a way to coax Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin on a court somewhere, relations between the United States and Russia could be normalized in a single afternoon. That’s because this game — played in a space about one-fourth the size of a tennis court — engenders goodwill; is based on teamwork and cooperation between doubles partners; is open to participants of all skill levels; and while games are spirited and can be very competitive, few people play to win at any cost. For me, pickleball was immediately addictive. It provides a decent workout, and it is as much fun as I’ve had in a long, long time. Perhaps the best part is that everywhere I have played — in Auburn, Grass 14

MARCH 2015
Valley and Santa Cruz — people are instantly welcoming, patient and willing to help a newcomer with the basics of the sport, which is a mash-up of badminton, tennis and table tennis. While virtually anyone of any age can play, the meteoric rise of pickleball’s popularity can be traced directly to the senior set. This is yet another example of “senior creep,” where the needs of the burgeoning legion of retirees is being accommodated by our larger society, just as it has done with health care and specialized housing. Anything to help encourage physical activity is a good thing, though, and even tennis players who see their domain shrinking are being good sports. What also makes pickleball such a great option is the cost to play is next to nil … no expensive equipment or memberships required. All you need is a sturdy pair of court shoes and a paddle (not a racquet!).
Although there is a singles version of pickleball, I’ve only seen people playing doubles, but you don’t need a partner. Just show up and you are inserted in the rotation of players. Winners generally stay on the court, but partners become opponents and change sides. It’s as democratic a format you’ll ever encounter because you seldom play with the same partner twice, enabling you to avail yourself of skills advice from a variety of players. What’s more, there is no arguing about calls — the team on the receiving side makes challenge-free “in” and “out” rulings. Games are uniformly civil, and, frankly, everyone expects to win some and lose some. At the end of the day, my observation is that for most folks it’s more about the social interaction and exercise rather than worrying about personal box scores. See you on the courts, and remember … keep your eyes glued to the ball!
SLOW COOKED CORNED BEEF BRISKET AND ROASTED CABBAGE
RECIPE
Nutrition and Paula Hendricks Wellness Consultant www.hendricksforhealth.com If you are lucky enough to have a bit of Irish in you, or not, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with Corned Beef and Cabbage can be a health boost. Green cabbage is a great low carbohydrate vegetable that has a whopping 16 calories per half-cup, 1.5 grams of fiber, and a respectable amount of vitamin C. The Corned Beef provides protein and fat for a complete and nutritious meal on the festive day. Cabbage, like broccoli and cauliflower, is ranked high up the list for having cancer-fighting properties and is currently being studied for its phytochemical compound, indole, and its ability to specifically ward off breast cancer.
Each dish is served with some slices of corned beef brisket, a cabbage wedge, and some of the vegetables from the slow cooker on the side. You can also choose to spoon the juices from the slow cooker over the sliced brisket because it's incredibly divine. Also I found an interesting recipe for a brine that is sugar free here.
INGREDIENTS 2½ lb corned beef brisket ½ medium onion 1 carrot 1 celery stalk 1 cup chicken or beef stock
Roasted Cabbage 1 head of green cabbage 1 tablespoon avocado oil salt and pepper to taste
BRISKET
CABBAGE
Chop onion, carrot and celery stalk coarsely and place in the bottom of a slow cooker.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Pour chicken stock over onion, carrot, and celery and place corned beef brisket on top of veggies in the slow cooker.
Brush both sides with avocado oil and sprinkle salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste on both sides.
Place top on slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. (I did 6 hours) That's it!
Slice Head of cabbage into 8 wedges and place on rimmed baking sheet.
Place cabbage wedges into oven for 25-30 minutes flipping halfway through until you get nice crispy brown edges.

MEDI-CAL ASSET PROTECTION OPTIONS FOR SENIORS MOST SENIORS DO NOT KNOW what options they have available to them if they wind up in a nursing home and they have to apply for Medi-Cal long-term care benefits to help pay for the high cost of nursing care…the average cost of care being about $7,500/month. I have listed some of the options available to couples or a single person if they need to apply for Medi-Cal benefits. I recommend that you talk to an Elder Law Attorney before you need long-term care, so that you have a plan in place and know what will happen if you ever need long-term care in the future.
FOR COUPLES ... • The at-home spouse can keep the home but you better protect it from Medi-Cal estate recovery in the future upon the death of both spouses; • The at-home spouse can have a minimum of about $119,000 which can be increased depending upon the amount of income the at-home spouse has in their name; • The at-home spouse can have a minimum of about $2,900 which can be increased depending upon the current average expenses the at-home spouse has at that time; • Gift assets to their children if done properly in advance of entering a nursing home; and • You can even do some of these things even if a spouse is already in the nursing home!
FOR SINGLE OR WIDOWED PEOPLE ... • You can keep the home but you better protect it from Medi-Cal estate recovery in the future upon your passing; • You can have no more than $2,000 in assets; • All of your retirement income will go to Share of Cost; and • Gift assets to their children if done properly in advance of entering a nursing home.
