December Volunteer: Mark Schoeberl So, what do truck drivers do when they retire? That’s right, they do whatever they can to do what they love - they drive. This month’s Volunteer of the Month, Mark Schoeberl, didn’t take long to find himself behind the wheel of a Senior Center vehicle after he joined. It’s obvious that he truly loves to drive and feels quite at home in the driver’s seat of our buses going on trips and events, bringing everyone home safely. A few months ago when he heard that a Facility Chairperson was needed for our Board of Directors, Mark eagerly stepped-up; he hasn’t stopped working, as he’s been loading all the donations for the Craft Show from the Center to storage, along with handling a variety of things on the staff’s to-do lists around the facility. The best thing is that he does it all with a smile. Perhaps it was that smile that Shirley first saw in her junior year of high school when she met Mark on a blind date after a basketball game where their two schools played, as they were in neighboring towns in South Dakota. Mark was on that basketball team, so perhaps she was also smitten with his athleticism; whatever it was, they never dated anyone else after that. They will be celebrating their 54th anniversary just before Christmas. Mark was born in Conova, South Dakota, and grew up in Colman with his five brothers and three sisters on the family farm. He played football and basketball in high school, and loved to hunt. He joined the National Guard and was still active when he and Shirley married and settled back in Colman. They have four children, two boys and two girls. Today their children are in South Dakota, Colorado, Arizona and Oregon. The couple has twelve grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, who they love visiting whenever they can. You can usually tell when the Schoeberl’s are off to see the grandchildren because the copy room becomes filled with items for Mark to put in storage when he returns. Mark and Shirley moved to Castle Rock in 2013, after living all over the country during Mark’s career. They lived in New York, Grand Junction, Washington and in New Mexico where he took up quite a hobby before he retired. The couple raised horses on their property and Mark took that to the next step as he learned to do rodeo roping. He was taught by Jimmy Cooper, an all-around cowboy on the rodeo circuit. Mark roped and competed in many local rodeos in New Mexico. Today Mark likes to hunt, fish, travel in their 5th wheel, and to garden. Besides the volunteer time he spends at the Center, you’ll often find him playing poker here a couple of afternoons a week. What he still likes most, however, is getting behind the wheel and driving our seniors out to a meal or to an outing. We are Volunteer of the Month Volunteer so glad truck drivers never truly retire. Thanks for all you do, Mark. ~ CRSC Staff

Our September Lunch and Learn presenters were from the Castle Rock Fire and Rescue. They had Colleen Morton, R.N. some great informaon about smoke detectors that I want to pass on to those who were unable Wellness Coordinator to aend. Did you know that your smoke detector unit is only good for 10 years, so if it’s hit that Castle Rock Senior Center age and/or has turned yellow in color, it needs to be changed to a new one to assure it's working correctly? If this task is more than you want to tackle, buy a new replacement and call your handy relave or handyman who helps with those types of tasks. If you do not have someone, you can call Neighborhood Network at 303-814-4300 to arrange for one of their volunteers to come and install it. Now let's talk baeries, as most of us have heard the annoying lile beeping that occurs when your smoke detector baery is geng low - and that’s usually at 3:00 AM! If you change your smoke detector baeries rounely once a year, you can avoid that rude awakening. Smoke detectors usually take a 9-volt baery. If you have no one to assist you in climbing up to change the baery, you can call Castle Rock Fire and Rescue at 303.660.1066, and they will come to your house and assist you on a non-emergency basis. Buy your 9- volt baeries ahead, so you have them on hand; store them in a gallon bag in your freezer. When you call, just let them know you need assistance changing baeries (and remember to have cookies ready when they arrive for this service, as everyone loves cookies). You should also have a carbon monoxide monitor on every floor of your house, especially in your bedroom, as carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because you can't detect an odor. These only have a life span of 5-8 years (check the manufacturer notes when you purchase for the exact date they expire) and need to be exchanged periodically for a new one. Those in our home recently started beeping and said "end" in the lile lighted area - no debang what that meant! You can also purchase a combinaon carbon monoxide monitor/smoke detector so they are in one unit. Many people use daylight saving me to check all these monitors and change baeries, but another opon is the start of a new year. It doesn't maer what the day is, as long as you remember at the same me each year. I remember in the 1970s when my parents first put smoke detectors in their home which was built in 1900. When the first baery started giving its low warning beep, they were convinced there was a bat in the basement and were trying to find it and chase it with a broom. They never did find that bat, but did discover the baeries need to be changed rounely. Be proacve and you may avoid waking up to a late-night beeping "bat"!

We were one of only six charities (out of 21) in the recent Shopping Extravaganza that surpassed the 100 tickets sold mark, and, thus were awarded a higher donation. We received a donation check for $6,183.00 from the Outlets at Castle Rock (compared to last year's donation of less than $1000 when we didn't make our goal). In addition, we were the winners of an online ticket sales contest; the Outlets donated a gift basket for the Silent Auction at our recent Craft Show, resulting in even more money for us. Thanks to everyone who participated as you helped us go over the top.
