Board of Directors’ Report

Marie Barnes, President

I want to extend a sincere welcome to our newest Board members. We have had a very busy year. We approved a new security contract with substantial savings for our community. We also took the landscape task force recommendations which resulted in additional reduction of expense.

We found storage solutions and are planning for long-term storage needs. To provide additional security at the Sports Plaza, we upgraded our lighting and added cameras. I am sure you noticed the Meridian makeover. That is just the beginning. There is more to come. We are building a better business model for the Kilaga Café, which should result in an enhanced experience. We enhanced our employee compensation and

benefits to more closely align with our community at large. We will also continue making accessibility improvements.

These were not easily accomplished. Some were controversial or perceived as problematic, however, they were necessary and have placed us on a more solid footing for the future refresh and refurbishment of our Homeowners Association as outlined in the Strategic Planning Process and forthcoming Master Plan.

Our newest board members will discover there are no easy decisions. I am of the belief that everyone who has been elected to the board or selected to serve on our various committees seeks the common good for the Association. I am certain our new board members will join us in working diligently to keep Lincoln Hills the best it can be.

A Note from the Executive Director Kyle Bodyfelt, Executive Director

At the April board meeting, the Board of Directors adopted the 2024 Proposed Strategic Plan Process and Recommendations.

This is a preliminary document that serves to relaunch the Strategic Planning process. It reflects early community feedback related to both tactical and strategic initiatives.

Much more work and community input is needed to develop a credible roadmap for Lincoln Hills’ future. At this point, it is difficult to anticipate all actions required over the five-year planning horizon. It is recommended that a stepwise incremental, multi-year approach be used by planning each year in succession to ensure that the fixes and improvements made are sustained going forward.

It is also recommended that major capital projects be deferred until operational improvements are in place and a market-driven Master Plan is in place. This does not deter the Association from talking about the infrastructure projects necessary for the use and enjoyment of the existing amenities. Any requested/needed spending should be the exception and evaluated using the criteria of safety, security, or accessibility. In summary, focus on the basics before adding any new capital improvements.

The Board of Directors looks forward to partnering with the Association membership and our Association staff to communicate the plan and receive valuable input.

The Executive Director is responsible for the implementation of this plan. There will be two components of the plan process that will take place in parallel: 1) operational items related to staff will be managed directly by the Executive Director, who will have responsibility for staff deliverables and results, 2) the Executive Director is also responsible for delivery of a Board Approved Master Plan with the assistance and input from an ad-hoc task force/committee that is being created following the adoption of this document.

Architectural Review Committee

Harmony

Greg Kevin, Chair

We live in Placer County, a region rich in history and tradition. From the indigenous Nishinam and Maidu to the early settlers and pioneers, countless generations have called the foothills of Placer County home. This area of Placer County we now call home is the foothills of the Sierras, marked by rolling hills, oak trees, and grassy meadows. The landscape is dotted with rock.

The Design Guidelines intend to create and maintain a community that reflects the local region and landscape. The color palette for Lincoln Hills is comprised of earth tones and muted colors to reflect the feel and color of the region. Plants and trees listed in the guidelines also reflect the local topography and landscape. Lincoln Hills is a foothill community, and the Design Guidelines preserve that.

The ARC is often asked why cactus, lava rock, and crushed rock are not permitted. Why are bright

Properties Committee

Village Parks Inspections

Michael Mazikowski, Chair

This past month, Committee member Jerry Tousend coordinated and led the inspections of 11 Village Parks. The Park structures appear in good condition, and uneven sidewalks and other trip hazards noted from previous inspections have been resolved. We noted in our report that some of the surrounding landscape exhibited insufficient ground cover and/or dead foliage. A detailed written report was provided to the Board, Executive Director, and Facilities.

Each of our Committee members brings unique life experiences and subject matter expertise to our community. I would like to highlight two of our outstanding members, Bob Ress and Bob Loudin.

Bob Ress worked for the Division of Highways as a Civil Engineer and Computer Programmer for Consumer Affairs. Bob also volunteered for the California State Railroad Museum for 42 years as a conductor and engineer on the excursion train.

colors and diverse palettes not part of the Design Guidelines? The simple answer is that these plants and colors are not reflective of a foothill community. Those items would be more appropriate for a desert community in the southwest. 1.7.2 The improvement will be in harmony with the external design of other structures and/or landscaping within the community. 1.7.3 The improvement, because of its appearance, location, or anticipated use, will not interfere with the reasonable enjoyment of any other owner of his or her property.

1.7.4 The proposed improvement, if approved, will otherwise be consistent with the architectural and aesthetic standards prevailing within the community and with the overall plan and scheme of development within the community.

The overarching philosophy of the ARC and the Design Guidelines is to maintain the harmony of the community.

He has shown strong skills in problem-solving and understanding of construction processes. Bob said that he believes that volunteering his time is a healthy and meaningful endeavor that “keeps him out of mischief!”

Bob Loudin worked for Hewlett Packard in reliability engineering, environmental stress testing, power systems design, and regulatory certifications for worldwide marketing of HP products. He also holds a business license in the field of product safety. Bob volunteered for the Horseshoe Bar Municipal Advisory Committee and helped define and author the “Rural Design Guidelines” for Placer County. He said that he likes to stay active, both mentally and physically, and to help preserve the beauty of Lincoln Hills.

Please join us for our monthly meeting at P-Hall (KS) at 9:00 AM on the first Thursday of each month or watch on Zoom or video available on the Resident Website.

Clubs and Community Organizations Committee

Going for the Gold

George Herrmann, Chair

I had a dream the other night that I was playing golf. In that dream, the ball was on concrete and not teed up. Dreams can be odd. As I swung and missed, which was not unusual for me, I created a huge scratch in the concrete. It showed that I wasn’t standing close enough to the ball. I moved closer, and my next shot went way down the fairway. That felt really good in my dream. It was a “gold” moment for me.

The Summer Olympics start on July 26 this year. The term “going for the gold” is probably best associated with this every four-year event. Recently, here in Lincoln Hills, we had a very well attended Special Olympics event at our bocce courts. In the event, the participants demonstrated their version of “going for the gold.” Thinking

about my dream, The Olympics and the Special Olympics, the term can be applied to each one of us as we participate in our club activities. While not requiring the years of training necessary for the Summer Olympics, most of us have been active in our clubs for years, trying to improve and pursue our own version of “going for the gold.” Whether it is slam in bridge, a shot down the line in tennis, a painting or a special quilt, there are moments or creations in every club where you get the “gold medal” moment. Maybe it is all about these small, individual “gold” achievements that make for a satisfying life.

As you get ready for a club activity, set a goal for that day. Try to achieve it and make it your “gold” moment. You will begin your own quest of “going for the gold.”

Finance Committee

Another Good Month

Fred Raach, Chair

In April, the positive trend in financial results continued, with this month’s bottom line being $35,000 better than planned, raising the total for the year to $176,000 better than what had been anticipated in the Budget. However, April’s revenue from Operations was actually $33,000 less than planned but more than offset by a $68,000 savings in expenses.

This month, the Lifestyle and Food and Beverage Departments missed their revenue targets. The revenue of the Administration, Spa at Kilaga Springs, and WellFit Departments exceeded expectations.

Almost half of the expense savings were attributable to lower than the budgeted cost of sales numbers in Lifestyle and Food and Beverage, associated with their reduced revenues, and Food and Beverage’s achieving a seven-point reduction in its combined food and drink cost-to-revenue ratio. Other significant differences from Budget in April were personnel expenses, which exceeded the amount budgeted by $14,000. Landscape maintenance expenditures were $17,000 less than budgeted, and maintenance, supplies, and repairs costs were $25,000 below the budgeted amount.

The chart below illustrates how each department’s results compare to what had been budgeted through the end of April.

The Administration Department continues

to benefit from the increased interest income ($33,000), the reduced cost of storage space rental ($15,000), and the lower cost of the security contract ($40,000) compared to what was budgeted. Lifestyle was positive to Budget last month but low participation in certain events and trips during April caused it to be over budget at this point. The Spa at Kilaga Springs had an outstanding April, which accounted for $8,200 of its $8,500 positive income for the year. WellFit and Food and Beverage increased their positive to Budget performance again in April. Facilities and Landscape was over budget for the year through March and benefited from the savings in landscape maintenance and maintenance, supplies, and repair costs to achieve its positive result in April.

Reserve spending in April was only $89,000, causing the reserve fund to grow to $13.4 million at the end of April. Spending of Community Enhancement funds continues to be closely monitored. Through April, $45,000 has been spent, and the fund has earned almost $7,000 in interest. The unallocated balance of the fund was $384,000 at the end of April.

Detailed financial information is available as part of the agenda each month in the eNews announcement of the Finance Committee meeting and from the Resident Website.

Lifestyle News and Happenings

Lifestyle Gold

Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager

The Summer Amphitheater Concert Series (SACS) sets a high bar. The overall program delivers quality entertainment and really does reach a gold standard in the industry. The series also serves as a “golden ticket” for Lifestyle and the Association as a whole when it comes to generating revenue.

The annual Lifestyle budget relies on about 70% of the total operating funds from revenue generated in Entertainment/Events, Trips, and Lifestyle Classes. The other 30% is funded by your assessments. The ticket sales and registration for concerts, events, dance nights, day trips, extended trips, and classes cover all costs of sales associated with those offerings. (Instructor salaries and wages are considered hard costs in our budget.)

Once the hard costs for the above are covered, the surplus is used to help pay for the additional Lifestyle amenities and programs. Examples are the annual “It’s the Lifestyle!” Expo, and all the free

activities that fall under Community Perks. Lifestyle is also responsible for the social/living areas, libraries, billiards rooms, meeting rooms, and classrooms. Staff salaries for Lifestyle managers, coordinators, front desk staff (at both lodges), and association volunteers are also in the Lifestyle budget.

The ticket sales from SACS is budgeted at a 52% margin for profit, which is by far the most significant chunk of revenue that supports the annual budget. Additionally, the revenue made at the bars, concessions, and restaurants during concerts greatly helps the Food and Beverage Department budget.

There are two main reasons SACS is our golden ticket: the quantity of tickets sold and, more importantly, the tens of thousands of dollars saved with free labor. Our resident volunteers are that free labor. They are Lifestyle gold. Please treat them as such when you see their smiling faces working hard this summer to make your experience more enjoyable.

The Spa at Kilaga Springs Trailblazing for 40 years

KarriLynn Keith, Spa Manager

As we tune into the Summer Olympic festivities, I am reminded of the incredible athletes representing this beautiful country. The Games are even more special to me as one of the most amazing women I know recently shared her journey to the Summer Olympics that began when she discovered she loved to run. Her passion took her all the way to the 1984 Summer Olympic Trials.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the first US Women’s Olympic Marathon Trials staged in Olympia, Washington. 1984 was the year of firsts; the first Summer Olympic Games were held in the United States in more than 50 years, and the first Olympic Games were held in which female runners were permitted to compete in a marathon.

The 1984 Olympic Trials were held just 11 weeks before the 1984 Olympic Games. A total of 267 runners qualified for the inaugural Women’s

Olympic Marathon Trials in 1984. Pat English, Sister Marion Irvine, Shirley Matson, Leslie McMullin, Jeanne Lavin, Powers, Vicki Randall, Joan Benoit, and our very own Lincoln Hills and Kilaga Springs Spa Esthetician, Peggy Smyth were among the California athletes who achieved the qualifying cutoff.

These incredible women created a “ripple effect” that is still felt today. The 1984 US Women’s Olympic Marathon Trials track and field athletes have had a lasting impact, encouraging and inspiring all women athletes to strive for Gold in their sport. Join us in celebrating the historic achievements of these amazing, brave Trailblazers, who ran the streets and trails long before the world embraced the sport at the record levels of today.

Deborah McIlvain, Lifestyle, WellFit and Spa Director

Do you know the story of Milo? He was a sixth-century BC wrestler who won many athletic festivals in ancient Greece. The story goes that when Milo was a boy, he gained strength by lifting a newborn calf and carrying it on his shoulders. He returned the next day and did the same feat. Milo continued this for four years, hoisting the calf onto his shoulders each day as it grew until he was no longer lifting a calf but a four-year-old bull.

We are not saying to start carrying farm animals around all day, but this story is an example of his goal. All the time, the calf was getting bigger and heavier, and Milo would have to get bigger and stronger himself to still be able to lift the bull. What is your “Go for the Gold?” Is it to be able to walk three miles, start riding a bike, take a level 3 class, or be healthier?

Whatever it is, you need a program. There are many ways to increase your training progressively. You can increase the number of sets or reps, add more exercises to your routine, or increase the weight. You could also try different programs like small group training classes, take different levels of group exercise classes, or work with a personal trainer.

The other key point to this story is to avoid overcomplicating your training. Take it slow. Don’t miss your workouts—consistency is key to your training. Don’t increase your intensity before you can complete the first step.

If you are still not sure what is best for you, reach out to Rex Owens, our Fitness Supervisor. He is a wealth of knowledge and can guide you toward your own story. “A goal is a personal promise to your future self.”

The Agony of “De

Feet”

Shirley Schultz, Roving Reporter

You may not be aiming for the Olympics, but you are trying to live an active, mobile, safe lifestyle. Your feet are the foundation for this lifestyle; they are the “solemates” of your body, each with 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and

ligaments. They support you, so give them the care needed to prevent problems, reduce pain, and avoid injuries. Pay attention to the following before you are dead on your feet.

Hardened, cracked heel skin results from older skin making less oil and elastin. This tends to worsen if you are overweight. Wash your feet every day, and, if needed, remove dead skin with a pumice stone. Apply moisturizing lotion. Seek prescription ointment if you cannot control it.

Ingrown toenails can be very painful and become infected. Prevention requires one to avoid cutting the toenails too short and avoid wearing tight shoes. The

toenails should be cut straight across rather than curved. A podiatrist may have to remove the nail root if the problem is severe.

Loss of the fat padding on the bottom of the feet is common with aging. You feel it when you stand on your own two feet. Loss of that cushion may lead to pain in the ball of the foot and heel. If orthotic shoe inserts are not helpful, a podiatrist may give filler injections to replace the fat pad.

Pain on the bottom of your heels is most commonly caused by plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone and toes. It is more common in runners, people who are overweight, and people who have high arches. Treatment includes icing, stretching, shoe inserts, over-the-counter pain medicines, and, in severe cases, steroid injections or surgery.

It is estimated that one in three people may develop a Morton’s Neuroma, a pain in the ball of the foot that feels like you are walking on a marble. It is more common in older women, especially those wearing high heels or shoes with pointed toes. Treatment includes wearing wider shoes and using shoe pads under the painful area. Steroid injections or surgery may be recommended in severe cases.

Foot-in-mouth disease is a condition we should all strive to avoid. This facetious disease refers to making inappropriate, insensitive, or imprudent statements. If the shoe fits, wear it.

Kicking Your Way to the Top!

Teresa Tanin, Neighborhood Watch

When it comes to kicking it, our residents are top-notch. Recently named the seventh safest city in California, according to the SafeWise Safest City 2024 Report, our community continues to hold that status with the help of the Neighborhood Watch resident volunteers. One of the many ways residents contribute to our safe status is by attending the annual National Night Out “Kickoff.” This special evening celebrates crime awareness while residents prepare for the annual National Night Out held on the first Tuesday in October.

The “Kickoff” for the October event will be held August 17, 6:00 to 8:00 PM, in the Multipurpose Rooms/Kitchen (KS). Residents attend this annual potluck and learn how to plan their own October National Night Out event. Residents can gather in the morning in their own driveways, backyards, or nearby restaurants and then meet at the Sports Pavilion at 4:00 PM to speak directly to our local police, fire, 2-1-1 representatives, Project Lifesaver, Placer PROTECT, and several City of Lincoln service representatives.

Save the Date, August 17, and look for more information to follow. As a side note, Sergeant Jesse McCauley of the Lincoln Police recently thanked Neighborhood Watch for getting the word out about the annual “RXDrug Take Back.” This event was a great success. A total of 218 vehicles drove through for a collection of 642 pounds. Residents continue to stay on top— kicking it!

Swimming for Gold

David Wright, Roving Reporter

Ron Morin has never won an Olympic Gold Medal. Still, he does not let that stop him from going for his own gold. He has spent the past 20 of his “golden years” pursuing his personal best—swimming our Lincoln Hills pools while keeping a running count of each lap in his ledgers. Three months ago, the 84-year-old completed lap number 72,000. That correlates to 1,000

miles—mostly done in the Kilaga Springs Pool.

Growing up in New Hampshire, Ron and his brother would spend their summers hiking to their favorite forest lake in the shadow of Mount Washington. It was there the 12-year-old twins learned to swim.

Ron found his way to San Jose, where he met Pamela. He was studying for the priesthood, and she was at a convent. Like a storybook romance, they left their callings to get married. Raising a son and two daughters, they built a nuclear family supported by Ron’s 30-year career at General Electric. In 2003, the couple moved into their Lincoln Hills dream home.

Ron has always been athletic. He

played baseball on both his high school and seminary college teams. So, it was no surprise that his first peek at Del Webb Field would inspire him to begin a 19-year run with the Senior Softball League. Likewise, touring our aquatic facilities whetted memories of those boyhood days at the lake. Ron added swimming to his pool of activities.

Being a lifelong competitor, when he learned that 72 laps is equivalent to one mile, the challenge was on. With Forrest Gump persistence, he just kept swimming…and swimming…and swimming—recording each onehour session in his water log. “The closer I got to reaching the thousand miles, the more motivated I was to keep going,” Ron offers.

Sadly, his bride of 52 years never got to see Ron reach his personal milestone. Pamela died four years ago. Still, Ron could feel her presence cheering him on when he hit the 1,000-mile mark on March 15. Ron does not play softball anymore. His back and leg issues took care of that. But he can still painlessly maneuver in the pool. Joining the Swimmers and Water Walkers Club, he plans to continue swimming as long as his body allows. Although he no longer sets long-term goals, every plunge he takes adds to his grand total. If they awarded a medal for tenacity, Ron Morin would win the Gold.

Ron’s advice: “Set a realistic goal and do it”

Ron proudly displays his ledgers

Making waves

Achieving a Personal Best

Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter

Bruce Quick, retired Human Resources Vice President for Volunteers of America and a 13-year Lincoln Hills resident, was looking for something to do in his “second act.”

“I don’t golf, and my sons live away,” Bruce said. He always enjoyed walking, so he decided to ‘take a hike.’ Now, he’s an avid traveler but without boarding tour buses or cruise ships. He explores amazing, faraway places solely on foot.

This year, after achieving the completion of another European

hike, Bruce calculates that he will have walked nearly 4,000 miles since 2016. Bruce’s impressive list of accomplished European trails reads like a PBS travelogue.

2016 – Camino de Santiago. Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France to Santiago, Spain to Finisterre, Spain, Muxia, Spain to Porto, Portugal (700 miles).

2017 – Way of Le Puy (also known as Via Podiensis). Le Puy, France to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port (500 miles).

2018 – Jakobsweg/ Chemin de Saint Jacques. Innsbruck, Austria to Le Puy, France (650 miles).

2019 – Szent Jakab Zarandokut/ Jakobsweg. Budapest, Hungary to Innsbruck, Austria (650 miles).

2022 – Via Francigena. Lucca to Rome, Italy (250 miles).

2022 – John Muir Way. Helensburgh to Dunbar, Scotland (135 miles).

2023 – Camino Materano. Bari to Brindisi, Italy (346 miles).

2023 – Kerry Way/St. Patrick’s Way. Ring of Kerry and Northern Ireland (205 miles).

2024 – Pieterpad. The Netherlands/Via Mosana Belgium/Way of St. James Luxembourg.

It all started with the Camino de Santiago, his first trail, a historically spiritual pilgrimage with roots in the ninth century. Bruce wasn’t hooked after that walk, though. In fact, he vowed, “I’ll never walk again.” But, soon, he was planning another trip. “I’ve become the Forrest Gump of Lincoln Hills,” he chuckles. Walking and hiking have since become his passion.

Carrying a backpack of less than 20 lbs., including a poncho for rainy weather, he maps out his trek, sometimes 15-20 miles per day, reserving a place to sleep at a bed and breakfast, hotel, private home, or monastery along the way. If language becomes a barrier, he looks to a translator application on his iPhone. He documents his journeys with breathtaking photos he takes every step of the way.

He’s given numerous presentations at our Community Forums. Bruce is a member of the Lincoln Hills Hikers and Walkers Club, often serving as a leader on local hikes.

Bruce Quick is walking proof that in retirement, you can be like an Olympian and go for your own gold!

Ballroom Dance

We are providing instruction for the tango in June. American-style tango became popular in the United States in 1921 when silent film

star Rudolph Valentino demonstrated a highly stylized form of Argentine tango in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. As a result, the Hollywood-style steps mixed in with other social dance steps began to branch away from the Argentine style. The American style allows dancers to separate from closed position to execute open moves like underarm turns, alternate hand holds, dancing apart, and side-by-side choreography. Arthur Murray, a ballroom dance instructor in the US, tried his own hand at standardizing the tango for instruction in his chain of dance schools.

Bird

Summer is almost here. Our club is putting expeditions on hold until September as the temperatures get hotter, and the smart birds have headed north to Canada and Alaska to eat lots of mosquitos. Wherever you happen to be, take a moment to look around and check out what is flying around the trees, skies,

and grasses. It is still a good time for a birder to enjoy what Mother Nature is. The club usually meets at 1:30 PM on the second Monday of each month at P-Hall(KS) but this month, we are meeting on June 17. Andy Engilis, Curator of the Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology, UC Davis, will give a presentation on bird-related works within the museum.

A few of the riders took advantage of drafting. The ride was 40 miles long with an average speed of 15 mph. There were no injuries and only one flat tire.

A stop at Sutter Brewery in Yuba City topped off the day. The club had a social planned at Dueling Dogs Brewing Co. on June 13. Check the ride calendar for future events.

So, if you’re a resident and are interested in an informal and fun way to start the week, please drop into the Card Room (OC) a few minutes before

9:00 AM on Monday during the setup period. We have everything needed to play, so just come on by. Official play begins at 9:00 AM and continues until Noon. See you soon.

Woodcarvers

Woodcarving is an enjoyable pastime for many enthusiasts. It offers a unique blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and relaxation. Working with wood allows individuals to connect with nature and appreciate its beauty while creating something tangible with their hands.

Whether it’s whittling simple shapes or more elaborate patterns, there is a technique suitable for every skill level. Additionally, woodcarvers are supportive by sharing knowledge and techniques for the craft. Overall, woodcarving offers a rewarding and enjoyable pastime for those who are drawn to its charms.

Writers Writer’s Block. What is it? As our Secretary, I’m seldom short on words. Even recent events aren’t cause for my W.B. Jon Bon Jovi, and I share a common ailment with a vocal cord.

Could have warned me before I became a hip replacement statistic! I have plenty to discuss, just nothing to say. Instead, I’ll remind you the Writers’ Club meets monthly from 5:00 to 7:00 PM on the second and fourth Monday in the Computer Room (OC). Bring 12 to 14 copies of your less-than-1,200-word masterpiece of prose or poetry. We’ll leave on the lights.

Wellness Life Coaching

Why A Wellness Coach?

A Lincoln Hills Wellness Life Coach is a professional who assists people in making progress toward attaining greater fulfillment in relationships, careers, day-to-day life, or extracurricular activities. Schedule with one of our Coaches to better navigate your path, clarify your goals, identify obstacles holding you back, and learn new strategies to move forward. Our coaches will provide the support you need to achieve longlasting change.

What Can I Expect?

Discerning “the why” is paramount to the coaching - because the subsequent checkpoints and milestones are built upon the why of what the client wishes to work toward - and developing a reasonable plan to achieve it. Each 60-minute session includes a personally tailored, written, 30-day goal summary to include measurable, time-bound behaviors and tasks to be completed by the client. This helps each client maintain progress, overcome challenges, and achieve their desired outcomes.

What Does It Cost?

Each one-on-one session runs sixty minutes $84.00. Your Wellness Life Coach will recommend the frequency of sessions as you go.

Invest in Yourself.

We have four dynamic Wellness Coaches ready to book appointments at Orchard Creek WellFit Fitness Center. Their bios can be found at the fitness centers or on the Resident Website under the WellFit drop-down menu. Contact Danielle Merrill for more information about this exciting new program.

Policy: There are no refunds, and all training expires one year after purchase. Please observe our 24-hour cancellation policy and contact the Coach directly to reschedule, or you may be charged in full for the session.
