Board of Directors’ Report

Denny Valentine, Secretary

“Change” is the theme of the month, and I thought it might be interesting to compare what I remember from my first term on the Board of Directors in 2005 with this current term.

I suppose the thing that stands out the most is the time we spend discussing and acting on matters resulting from those twenty plus years of wear and tear on our facilities and landscape. There is nothing I’m not too fond of more than deferred maintenance because it always costs more in the long run. Repairing and upgrading when needed is the best way to save money in the long run.

Another issue I heard brought up is the number of employees we have today compared to what we had in 2005. As our members want more amenities, classes, trips, concerts, etc., the number of staff

has to increase. Two other actions have occurred during this time, both in response to legal considerations. First, we were required to bring contract employees working in the WellFit Department and bring them to employee status. We were also recently required to do the same with instructors in the Lifestyle Department. All of this is to comply with State law and give our residents the best possible amenities of a homeowners association. The other change I have consistently seen is the change in dues, which continues as we grow. You will hear more about this as we work to complete the 2025 budget.

The one item I have not seen change during my time here is the number of people running STOP signs. Perhaps during this new fall season, we can all slow down and take time to enjoy the changes, not only in the weather but also in our community.

A Note from the Executive Director

Kyle Bodyfelt, Executive Director

“Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.”– Alan Alda

Change can be hard, and loose change continues to be an enigma in the United States. Consider the penny. The US Treasury must mint new pennies each year (45 million dollars last year at a cost of $.03 per penny) because… wait for it, we do not use pennies. We are estimated to have 724 pennies per person in America stored in auto cup holders, jars, desk drawers, etc. We must produce the penny so that it can be provided to businesses that need to give it back as change for cash purchases for people that do not have pennies…at least with them at the time of sale. It is interesting to note that Canada stopped producing the penny more than ten years ago and

has gotten along fine without it.

Speaking of change, as was mentioned last month in the discussion of Strategic Planning, the Association must look forward five to ten years while also updating how we care for aging amenities. While considering capital improvement needs as a community evolves, it is even more important to plan for the repair and renovation of existing amenities. For years, the Reserve Study proposed Reserve replacements far exceeded the actual updates. It is time to change that mindset and invest in the time and priority of taking care of aging facilities. We plan to present a robust 2025 project list to enhance your lodges and amenities while continuing to plan for renovation needs in 2026 and 2027. We look forward to communicating these needed updates to you in October. Don’t forget, ‘Find a penny, pick it up; all day long, you’ll have good luck.’

Architectural Review Committee

Falling for Fall

Greg Kevin, Chair

“Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.” – Dale Carnegie. Fall is in the air. Change is happening right before our eyes. The weather is cooling, the leaves are changing, the geese are flying, and pumpkin spice is in the air. The inevitability of the coming holidays is undeniable. It’s October.

Now is a good time to ensure your home is ready for winter. How does your landscape look? Is it time to trim the trees and bushes before the winter storms blow through? Is it time to make sure the roof gutters and drains are clear? Is it time to paint the house and fence before the rain arrives? It’s time to do those things you have been putting off all summer. The time is now.

The ARC is here to help you with the necessary

paperwork to get your projects going. We are available at every ARC meeting to answer your questions and to help with the forms.

As long as we are on the topic of fall, let’s be careful and avoid falls. Use ladders with care. Always have someone with you to steady the ladder as you work. Do not climb on chairs, stools, or counters to change a lightbulb. I know this is hard for all of us, but don’t be afraid to ask for help, you’ve earned the privilege. It’s easy, just ask. Remember, Neighbors InDeed is available to help with those simple above ground tasks, and they also maintain a list of Handy Helpers to help with the more acrobatic and challenging chores. As much as we all enjoy fall, let’s not celebrate the changing of the season with a fall.

Compliance Committee

Pumpkin Spice Roz Odell, Chair

Change is always a part of life that we must deal with. Sometimes, change can be scary, but the seasonal change that is going on now is a welcome one. Relief from the hot weather, pumpkin flavors everywhere, falling leaves, and the excitement for the upcoming holidays. We are very lucky to live in a place where the fall is as beautiful as any place in the area. You cannot help but admire the beautiful changing colors of the multitude of trees we have here at Lincoln Hills.

Do not forget that if you want to change anything around your home or yard, the Design Guidelines document is your friend. It answers any question that you might have regarding what is compliant for your yard and home and what is not. Please check before you change anything. It will

help you in the long run. If you are still unsure, just give the Compliance Committee a call, and someone will be happy to help guide you.

Did you know that window coverings on your windows cannot be reflective? This type of film is dangerous because it can cause a fire. There are several non-reflective films that can be used. Please remember that sunlight can make a non-reflective window covering look reflective, so if you are mistakenly sent a letter about your windows, just give the Community Standards Department a call and inform them about the mistake, and we will be happy to check again. We try very hard not to make this mistake, but it happens sometimes, so just let us know, and we will correct it.

So, grab that pumpkin-spiced latte and enjoy this beautiful fall weather.

Clubs and Community Organizations Committee

Holiday Club

George Herrmann, Chair

As October is upon us, I can’t help but think about Halloween. In 1979, with two small children, we moved back to the Bay Area and purchased a three-acre property in the Santa Cruz mountains. It was a wonderful piece of the redwoods, although it had a very steep, one-hundredyard-long driveway. Needless to say, that was a turnoff for trick-or-treaters at Halloween. After the kids were long gone, we retired to Santa Rosa in 2012. We got 200 to 300 kids on Halloween every year in that subdivision. What a treat for us to sit on the porch and greet those kids in costumes. It makes you feel young again. We were forced to abandon Santa Rosa due to fire activity, so we moved to Lincoln Hills in 2021. Alas, that first Halloween brought no trick-or-treaters to our

door, and there have been none since. As grandparents, we miss those kids and probably all the leftover little candy bars. Perhaps Lincoln Hills needs a Halloween club, or better yet, a holiday club. It would work in reverse. Instead of trick-or-treaters on Halloween and other holidays coming to your door, this club and its members would go door to door and give out candy to the residents. Many of our residents don’t get out much, which would be a nice treat. Every holiday could bring greeters to your door. Maybe just to say hello and see how you are doing. It would foster a sense of community and of giving. What better way to get that point across than with a small bar of chocolate? The CCOC would love to recommend approval of that club. We look forward to hearing from you.

Lifestyle News and Happenings Falling Into Change

Allison

Sertic, Lifestyle Manager

“Notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.” – Friedrich Nietzsche. The first time I read this quote by Nietzsche, I was a 20-year-old college student. It resonated with me then and continues to grow more relevant as I age. With maturity comes the recognition of connectiveness with each other, our planet, and beyond. I get a tad melancholy each fall as an annual reminder that everything comes to an end, especially as time passes more quickly each year. Fortunately, it just takes a day trip exploring all the beautiful colors of autumn to snap me out of a slump.

Once I have let my sadness go and let my body and soul rest a bit, motivation and energy find me. After I have made time for retrospection and rumination, which leads to rejuvenation. I

anxiously await that power surge that pulls me from exhaustion.

We have had some changes to our Lifestyle team in 2024. In January, we onboarded 24 new employees: class instructors who had been independent contractors joined our team. We welcomed five new instructors in the months after. A new full-time Class Coordinator, Charleigh Ridgway, joined the team in July and has already proven to be a wonderful addition! Room Booking has gained an excellent part-timer, Donna Hartigan. Lastly, we hope to have our new Trip Coordinator on board by the time you read this article. I am grateful for all the positive changes that have happened with our new team members. I look forward to working with our entire team to bring more progress in 2025!

WellFit News

“Fall”

Prevention Fitness – Building Balance and Strength

Deborah McIlvain, Lifestyle, WellFit and Spa Director

Balance is a fundamental part of everyday life. It allows us to walk, climb stairs, and navigate uneven terrain without falling. Our balance can naturally decline as we age, increasing our risk of falling. The good news is that there are simple exercises you can do to improve your balance and stay steady on your feet. Incorporating balanced training into your fitness routine is crucial for maintaining stability. Here are some exercises and suggestions that WellFit offers.

Single leg stance: This exercise is a great way to challenge your balance on one leg. Stand tall, holding onto a wall or chair. Raise one leg off the ground, keeping your knee bent and core engaged. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch legs and repeat.

Yoga: Consider taking a yoga class. Certain poses require good balance to strengthen core muscles. OC offers group exercise classes –Restore, Balance, and Yoga Flow on Thursdays, or try Yoga Basics and Flow on Fridays.

Tai Chi: This mind body practice incorporates slow, flowing movements that promote balance and flexibility. We offer Tai Chi classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

Small Group Training: Balance and Fall Prevention and Posture, Core, and Balance is offered at KS.

For more details on classes check your Compass or online. Remember, our personal trainers can create a personalized balance training program to fit your needs and goals. Progression is key. Improving your balance is an investment in your long-term health and independence.

Heel-toe Walk: Improves both balance and coordination. Walk slowly heel-to-toe, placing your heel directly in front of the toes of your other foot with each step. Maintain good posture and focus on keeping your core engaged. Try walking forward for 30 seconds, then backward for 30 seconds.

Falloween Rhyme Time

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Trendy

Autumn is the time for all things pumpkin spice. The appealing scent and flavor are positively nice. That distinct aroma is every-where you turn, In soups, teas, and lattes – even butter that is churned.

It’s in beer (yes, beer), pies, cookies, cakes, and frosting.

Counting the scores of items can be thoroughly exhausting.

In addition to some tasty treats – it’s found in candles and soap.

I think I’ve sniffed enough, thank you. Please tell me how to cope!

It’s time to recognize when a novelty turns trendy. Out with the old, in with the new, is a saga never-ending.

Kale crops up in salads, in case you didn’t know. Impossible burgers supplant others, and so the ground beef goes.

The ancient grain quinoa boasts an odd pronunciation,

A healthy rice dished up for culinary consideration. If the milk’s a little ‘nutty,’ could be an almond infusion.

“Farm fresh,” “organic,” and “natural” labels add to the confusion.

Move over orange pumpkins, you’ll soon be laid to rest,

By winter, ruby-red cranberries will surely be the BEST!

When life gives you pumpkins, make pie!

Remembering Gallows Hill

Note: The term “witch hunt” has become widelyused in our society today. But, let’s not forget how it originated. Persecutory witch hunts first began in Europe and spread to colonial America centuries ago. The following is a brief remembrance of those who were wrongfully put to death in Salem, Massachusetts.

***********************

Nineteen men and women* in 1692, were carted off to Gallows Hill when a witch hunt did ensue.

Young girls ill with mysterious afflictions, Wrongfully accused others, causing their evictions.

In Salem Village, hysteria engulfed the town, as witchcraft accusations were swiftly passed down.

One man, Giles Corey, some 80 years old, was pressed to death by stones heavy and cold.

Refusing to stand trial, for months he lived in chains.

Within a dark, dank jail cell, he suffered fatal pains. Nineteen others hanged from trees of scraggly limbs, convicted for crimes unjust, unwarranted, and grim.

So, in October on All Hallows’ Eve, when souls and spirits collide, remember Gallows Hill in Salem, and those that died.

**************************

*The Gallows Hill 19: Bridget Bishop, Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Good, Susannah Martin, Elizabeth Howe, Sarah Wildes, George Burroughs, Martha Carrier, John Willard, George Jacobs, Sr., John Proctor, Martha Corey, Mary Eastey, Ann Pudeator, Alice Parker, Mary Parker, Wilmot Redd, Margaret Scott, and Samuel Wardwell.

Autumn teaches us that change can be beautiful

Rolling Pumpkins Spice Up Fall-O-Ween Fun

David Wright, Roving Reporter

October 31 means doorsteps darkened by superheroes, zombie princesses, and pirates in search of chocolatey treasure. But living in Lincoln Hills, we do not get visits from little goblins, and it is not always possible to be with the grandchildren for their backto-ghoul shopping sprees. While many residents view Halloween as just another quiet night, the folks in Village 30 roll out the fun—with pumpkins. Pumpkin Rolling has developed quite a fall-o-ween over the years, and nowhere is it more popular than the spirited haunt of Emily Lane.

Stephanie and Phillip Huntingdale have been hosting the neighborhood pumpkin bash for 13 of their 18 years together. “Our street is very tight-knit, and we have lots of social gatherings,” Stephanie explains. Every Halloween, she and her husband transform their front yard into the “most-sincere” pumpkin patch—inviting neighbors to try to become the next great pumpkin roller.

Upon arrival, their 60 costumed guests exchange grins and greetings with the official mascot, “Oscar the Skeleton.” Then the festivities get rolling with deli sandwiches, vats of spinechilling “boo-ze,” and dancing to pumpkin carols courtesy of the live band plugged into the Huntingdale’s garage.

It is BYOP—bring your own pumpkin. Stephanie is the official referee and disqualifies any

pumpkin not meeting the 21-inch minimum circumference. Rumor has it that residents have been bringing tape measures to the local grocery store and bowling pumpkins down the aisles for test drives. “Squashbucklers” personalize their orange melons with painted flames or funny faces. Others have drilled finger holes for a better grip. One rookie roller carved hers into a jack-olantern, but she did not stand a ghost of a chance. It went splat. Each pumpkineer gets one attempt to roll the furthest distance. Like most Lincoln Hills streets, Emily Lane is sloped with a high and a low end, creating a natural alley for tumbling orbs. “We have a downhill curve, and if the pumpkins catch the curb just right, they keep going and going and going,” Stephanie says. The men’s and women’s champions each receive t-shirts declaring them the, “Emily Lane Pumpkin Roll Winner.” After wagon-toting pumpkin collectors clear the carnage from the street, everyone has dessert—pumpkin pie, of course.

Pumpkineers toeing the line

Pumpkin Rolling is a simple event—allowing neighbors to get together and have a gourd time. Stephanie sums up the rollplaying exercise in one sentence: “We just enjoy being kids again.”

Stephanie and Phillip ready to welcome high rollers

The Great Pumpkin rises on Emily Lane

Tune into Pumpkin

Shirley Schultz, Roving Reporter

The pumpkin plays a central role in Disney’s Cinderella story. The Fairy Godmother transformed it into a magical coach to take Cinderella to the ball and then turned it back into a pumpkin. However, since we do not live in a fairytale land, this article is about tuning into the Cinderella pumpkin rather than turning into it.

The pumpkin is a winter squash, one of America’s oldest crops. It can weigh 1,000 pounds or more. Pumpkin is botanically a fruit due to the fact it comes

from the seed-bearing part of a flowering plant. Both the flesh and seeds are highly nutritious, containing proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals

Orange is the color of beta carotene, an organic pigment called carotenoid, which acts as an antioxidant in the body. Pumpkin and its orange cousins, carrots and sweet potatoes are changed in the body to vitamin A, which is essential for a healthy immune system and generally for maintaining the health of the lungs, heart, kidneys, eyes, and other organs. Intake of one cup of pumpkin can provide 200% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of Vitamin A. Take in too much beta carotene, and the Fairy Godmother might turn your skin and the whites of

your eyes orange.

Pumpkin is a rich source of several essential vitamins: A, C, D, E, K, B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B6 (Pyridoxine), and B9 (Folate or Folic Acid). Vitamins are organic compounds essential for bodily functions and must be consumed in small quantities in the diet because the body cannot synthesize them. Pumpkins are also a good source of minerals, such as iron, copper, manganese, and potassium.

Web MD lists several health benefits of pumpkin including lowered risk of certain cancers like lung or prostate cancer, strengthened immune system, lowered blood pressure and reduced stroke risk, reduction in the effects of aging on the skin, promotion of digestive health due to high fiber, and good sleep promotion by eating pumpkin seeds which contain the amino acid tryptophan.

The best way to turn pumpkin into health benefits is to avoid that with sugar, processed baked goods, or pumpkin flavor. Instead, eat roasted pumpkin, pureed pumpkin, pumpkin hummus, or pumpkin soup. Try a pumpkin parfait, put a layer of pumpkin puree over vanilla or plain Greek yogurt, drizzle some maple syrup, sprinkle with cinnamon, and top with granola or raw pecan pieces. Yum!

Lincoln Hills Foundation

Bingo Supports Association 25th Anniversary

Denise Bowden

On July 18, the Lincoln Hills Foundation and the Association partnered for a special Bingo in the ballroom, with the proceeds going toward the Association’s 25th Anniversary Celebration.

The Association provided Special prizes, and Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager, served as Master of Ceremonies. Due to this successful collaboration, the Foundation was very pleased to present Executive Director Kyle Bodyfelt with a check for $2,953.

The Lincoln Hills Foundation is also nearing its 25th anniversary of supporting seniors in our community. In 2002, Del Webb encouraged a group of volunteer residents to form the Lincoln Hills Foundation with the mission to develop programs that meet the evolving needs of our seniors. As

our community ages, the demand for services is rapidly growing in many areas. Food insecurity has become a significant concern for seniors as the cost of living increases, often making nutrition a last priority. As we get more cautious about driving, alternative transportation options such as Dial-a-Ride can be a lifesaver. Respite care needs continue to grow along with the request for support groups, socialization, and counseling. The Foundation is proud to provide grants in these critical areas through the generosity and support of our donors.

We are deeply grateful for the many years of partnership with the Association, and we wish Lincoln Hills a Happy Anniversary as it celebrates its 25th year.

Ballroom Dance

Our club will be holding a Ballroom Dance Night on October 26. The dance will have a Halloween Theme with costumes, desserts, and games. Plan to attend. October will also provide instruction for the rumba/rhumba. Why are there two spellings for this dance? The rumba originated by Afro-Cuban workers in the poor neighborhoods of Havana, Cuba. The Afro-Cuban style of the dance has a more open approach to sexuality. This version of the dance is spelled “rumba.” In the 1930’s during the era of the big bands and Xavier Cugat, the rumba was introduced to the United States. Rhumba with an “h” is for the American ballroom style, which is a simplified ballroom dance version of the original Cuban rumba.

Bocce Ball, Mad Hatters

Our club plays bocce on Thursday mornings, and we usually have anywhere from 25 to 45 players each week. All skill levels are welcome. From now until May, we begin at 10:00 AM. Teams of four players are formed on-the-fly each week,

so just show up! It’s fine if you can only come occasionally. The focus is on recreation, not competition. We normally spend about 90 minutes on the courts, but it’s okay to leave early. New, inexperienced, and handicapped residents are always welcome. Don’t know how to play? We’ll guide you. Parking is available at the courts, and it’s a great way to meet people. If Thursday mornings aren’t convenient, there’s another fun drop-in group that plays on Mondays at 9:00 AM.

Cultural Dance

What is the Cultural Dance Club, you ask? Well, it’s a collaboration of seven dance groups (Cloggers, Jazz, Bollywood, “Just Dance,” Belly Dance, and two Hula groups) formed by Wendy-Jean Iannico. Rules: each group must be, and is, unique enough not to conflict with any of the other groups; we must have two general meetings a year with by-laws and a board of directors; $5 membership fee. Benefits: our club has secured weekly practice times for each group, which is a great help as we perfect our skills; we have an article in the Compass each month; we can be in the Club Expo and other Lincoln Hills gatherings; and we have a great feeling of comradery and interaction and fun! So – let’s dance!

Cyclists

One of the benefits of being a club member is getting cycling safety tips. Our Safety Coordinator,

Tom Frady, brings the club members helpful information with his “Teachable Moment” articles when he becomes aware of an accident or difficult bicycle situation. Here are a few of the tips given in past “Teachable Moments:” “Look where you want to go, you will naturally ride where you look.” “Follow the leader when passing an obstacle, whatever route the leader takes all riders should follow.” “It is good practice to never be to the right of a car (or golf cart!) turning right. Wait behind the vehicle until it is safe to proceed, even if you, too, are turning right.” See the club’s website for additional information.

Lavender Friends

Next month, we’ll recap our fabulous Founders Dinner, but this month, we want to talk about our fun trip to Red Hawk Casino. It’s a

nifty program: the casino sends a free bus to take groups and bring them back after five hours there. Nearly two dozen of us boarded our shuttle recently for an afternoon of bowling, playing pool, and, of course, playing slot machines. Then we enjoyed the buffet, which was half-off that day. Lavender Friends is a club for LGBTQ residents and allies. Although we just missed it, October 11 was National Coming Out Day, begun in 1988. Let’s take a moment to appreciate living in this community where the club is welcome and accepted.

The Compass is published monthly and is available to residents on the 15 of each month (available at both OC and KS Lodges).

Movie Lovers

On September 12, our club had a lively discussion about Golden Years and Ghostlight Golden Years was about how retirement affected family and friends and the desires of what to do during

retirement. Ghostlight highlights the effect of a teenage son’s death on his family. The family came to terms with their son’s death by getting involved with a local thespian group performing Romeo and Juliet, which helped them accept their son’s death. On October 10, we discussed A Taste of Things (available on Amazon Prime) and Marguerite’s Theorem (available on YouTube.) If you like to discuss movies, please join us.

Sports Cars

Trees are changing color, Starbucks is selling Pumpkin-Spice Lattes, and the club continues to roll. On August 27, we took a Surprise Back-Country Ride with Lunch. We like surprises because 28 cars showed up not knowing where we were going. We followed a leader along backroads and Historic Highway 49 and ended up at the Moonraker Brewery in Cameron Park for

Taco Tuesday. On September 12, 20-plus cars headed to the Alamar Marina and Restaurant on the Sacramento River. We took a circuitous route via Camp Far West, Wheatland, and Nicolaus and drove along the Feather River via the Garden Highway. The weather was perfect, and the food was excellent. A Halloween Social dinner and dance is planned for October 25 at the Ballroom (OC).

Woodcarvers

Maybe the thought of woodcarving as a hobby gets cooled when the number of knives, chisels, and gouges are displayed in books and magazines. Certainly, the cost would dampen the enthusiasm of a potential carver if all those tools are needed for success. The reality is that a pocket knife was one of the early carving tools. It still may be preferred, but it is a good starting point. What might be better is a carving knife. At some point, the addition of other carving tools would broaden the scope and style of carving. Woodcarvers meet every Thursday from 1:00 to 4:00 PM in the Sierra Room (KS). Please drop in and talk to a

member and admire what’s being carved.

Writers

For decades, our Glen Rose, Texas Mother, used quotes to help her children navigate the Road of Life. Most quotes, like “We don’t own anything, we’re just borrowing it,” made us appreciate life for as long as we breathe. Where Mother used quotes to explain life, 95-year-old Allegra Jostad-Silberstein, poet, dancer and Davis, California’s first Poet Laureate, uses modern dance to breathe life into her poems. It’s beautiful. Some write so realistically; we cry along with the characters. Remember tears at the end of a movie whose last word was, “Shane!” Do your writings take your readers on twisty-turned rides through your imagination? Come to the Writers’ Group from 5:00 to 7:00 PM on the second and fourth Mondays. Listen to members read their masterpieces.

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 long-lasting 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 for $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.
