It is delivered right to your home computer, tablet, or smart phone. Well, I have looked into my crystal ball and found the answers to those The Lobby Digital Sign mysteries. This month, while you are oohing and aahing over the The square is called a “QR code,” an abbreviation for “Quick remodeling of the Lodge interior, take a little time to notice the Response Code.” This is the trademark for a type of matrix new digital sign on the wall near the entrance to the Library, barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the where the Sun City map use to hang. The digital sign will be Japanese automotive industry. It is a machine-readable, optical used to keep us informed about all the interesting and exciting label that contains information about the item to which it is events that are scheduled for our community. Although this attached. Basically, it is another format like the UPC barcode necessitated the removal of the map, copies of the map will be that is common on most everything today. The QR Code system available at the Lobby Monitor's desk. became popular due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes.

To use the QR Code you need either a smart phone or a tablet. Next, you will have to install one of the QR Reader apps. Some of the QR apps are a free download; a few must be purchased. These apps use the camera on your tablet or smart phone to take a picture of the QR Square and then read or act on the code that it contains.

Why are they on the Fitness Center video monitor? Some of the screens on this monitor contain too much information to be read in their short scrolling cycle. To overcome this problem a QR Code has been placed on those screens. For instance, the monthly calendar of events screen can be QR read and saved. You don’t have to stand in front of the monitor waiting for that screen to cycle back, to catch some bit of information you may have missed. You can use your smart phone or tablet's QR Reader app to capture the information in the QR image. Once captured, each device has features available which allows you to save the information to review at some later time. Try using your new scanning skills on the QR above.

Now that those mysteries have been solved, you have gained a new skill that can be put to use in the world outside of our community. Wherever you see a QR Square you can scan it to see what information it contains. When I attended a swim meet at the Roseville Aquatic Center recently, I saw some youthful swimmers with a QR printed on the back of their swim suit bottoms. However, in that case I didn't feel it would be proper to scan the QR Squares.

The rain usually flushed it out to a sufficient level where neighbors on specifics of this wetland project. Stay tuned. only moderate impacts were felt. However, with four years of drought the redwood trees have been impacted by salt stress beginning with the first rain, which puts the sodium in the soil into solution and is up taken by the tree roots, burning the needles. Our four year program of amendments, deep root and topical fertilizers, auger holes and potable water applications has helped the redwoods survive this extreme environment (they are used to the moist coastal Pacific where they thrive). On the golf courses we have done some soil testing to see where the “barometer” lies in regards to salt levels this year after an abundance of rain. We will take action depending upon what those results are using in addition to the other programs wetting agents and amendments to prevent further injury and assist with recovery when the weather warms up.

Greens, tee, fairway, rough and surrounding aerification will be taking place beginning in March - weather permitting! Greens will be done on March 7th (Pines), 8th (Lakes), and 9th (Oaks). We will be removing cores from the green surfaces and adding amendments (based on soil testing) to improve air and water infiltration and movement. Healing will depend upon soil temperatures. Warmer temperatures will help to heal the greens faster. Also of note is that we are doing aerification earlier because we want to expand the time players can enjoy the golf course rather than have conditions be impacted into April.

The putting green on Timber Creek will also open in March. We will try and encourage over the next 12 months the infiltration of poa annua into the new surface so it can mirror the existing green. Initially we will be watching for wear, so we will be conservative with the hole placement in the young green surface, but it looks like it will be fun to putt.

These chores are most efficiently accomplished with sprinklers turned off and just prior to a rain.

If dead or dying sod needs replacement you must first make sure there are no City drought restrictions on replacement sod. You may also opt to replace with a more drought resistant landscape. Either choice requires having the landscape plan approved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Applica- tions are available in the Lodge and assistance is available from the Community Standards Department.

If there are bare spots in landscaping, let’s “bring back the green” and plant drought resistant plants with a drip system (Design Guidelines, 3.03 (a) and 3.03 (c)). Article V, Section 5.01 also states replacement of existing shrubs or other plant- ings (excluding trees) do not require ARC approval, but MUST be similar to original planting which has been pre- viously approved.

Let’s all work together to keep our community “clean and green”!

The result in that combination of conditions, especially in heavy traffic, is that, if you do not have your head lights full-on, your car can be nearly invisible among the sea of head lights.

• The visibility factor in rain is at least as significant as that of driving at dusk. Without head lights, and tail lights, your car is nearly invisible among a sea of head lights and sprayed water. The law is that whenever you activate your windshield wipers, you must also activate your full-on head lights.

Not only do daytime auxiliary lights lack the visual impact of full on-head lights, most do not include your tail lights. Turn- ing your head lights full-on, of course, activates your tail lights. And, when you shut the engine off, an audible alert reminds you to turn them off to not drain the battery.

Another light related tip: You can use reflections of your car to check that all your lights are working properly. Storefront windows work great. Simply park where you can see the reflections, including tail and brake lights in your rear view mirror.

Sunshine Services offers SCR residents many resources tailored specifically for seniors. Here are some details on three programs that really exemplify our motto, “We’re Here to Help.”

CAREGIVER RELIEF PROGRAM: Provides relief for Sun City residents who are full-time caregivers for a loved one who is unable to leave home without assistance. Four hours a week of caregiver relief is provided by professional caregiver agencies. The scheduling of care will be determined by the resident and a program coordinator. The agency collects a $5 per hour co-pay from the caregiver and bills the SCR Foundation for the balance. The program is limited to two years. First-time applicants can pick up a form on the wall rack inside the Administration Office and drop it in the locked box located below the rack. A Sunshine coordinator will contact the applicant within 24 business hours to schedule a meeting. If you have any questions, please call Jean Hawkins at 781- 7705.

INDIVIDUAL CARE PROGRAM: Provides short-term, non- medical care for residents who have had a recent serious illness or have returned home from the hospital to recover. This care is provided until the resident can regain the ability to care for themselves or make arrangements for more permanent care. A selected agency will send someone to your home to prepare light meals, provide light housekeeping, launder bed linens, and assist with bathing. No medicine or medical treatments are provided. There is a co-pay of $5 per hour and the SCR Foundation picks up the balance of the cost for the service. Care is limited to 40 hours per year. Application forms are available on the wall rack in the Administration Office or on our web page on the SCR resident website: www.scres.org. Call Jean Hawkins at 781-7705 for further information.

TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM: On the first Thursday of the month, you can buy tickets at the Lodge for the Dial-A-Ride program which provides curb-to-curb bus services (with 24- hour notice), Monday through Friday from 5:45 AM to 10 PM and Saturday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Tickets are sold in a book of 10 tickets for $10. Wheelchairs are OK. Call Carol Del Sarto at 774-1564 for more details.

SAVE THE DATE: The speaker for our next general meeting which will be held on April 14th, 10:00 AM at Sierra Pines, is Diane Wilson, leader of Sunshine’s Transition and Loss group, who will speaking on: "Act III - Creating the Spiritual Legacy of Your Life."

32 Village Courier • MARCH 2016 sun city roseville community association, inc. Though Mitchell never produced another book, she won her place in literary history with this overwhelmingly popular 1037 page tome. Started in 1926, the novel was written over a period of about ten years. The author, a fifth generation Georgian, wrote the ending first, and then crafted earlier chapters telling the story of love and loss in the Civil War period.

Its title is a quote from Scarlett when she returned to the devastated family plantation after the war, wondering if Tara still stood, or was “gone with the wind which had swept through Georgia.” The phrase is also a metaphor for the disappearance of the Southern way of life prior to the war.

David O. Selznick acquired the film rights for $50,000, an unheard of sum for an unknown writer’s first novel. A nationwide casting search for an actress to play the southern belle was unprecedented. In all, 1400 actresses were interviewed, and 400 auditioned before newcomer Vivien Leigh was selected. The movie opened in Atlanta in 1939 shortly after the start of World War II in Europe, helping Americans identify with the war story and its theme of survival.

Transforming the lengthy novel from print to film proved to be challenging. The first rough cut ran over six hours, with 50 speaking parts and 2400 extras. Finally edited down to 3 ½ hours, it was shown with an intermission. The names of Olivia de Havilland, Leslie Howard and Clark Gable lighted up the marquis, with “presenting Vivien Leigh” appearing in lesser print below.

Birders are reporting frequent sightings of Cooper's Hawks (Ac- cipiter cooperii) in SCR neighborhoods. This is a solitary bird that nests in tall trees and feeds on small birds and mammals captured in swift, surprise attacks. It is recognizable by its large head, wide broad white and dark stripes on a long, roundish tail, blue-gray back, and fine, red, horizontal barring on the front and underparts. A male Cooper's Hawk is about 15-17 inches long with a wingspan of about 30 inches.
