From Where I Sit… This month, I’m going to talk about my family a little…some of you have met my daughter, Carrie, at one of our dinners. Carrie is a Code Enforcement Officer. She also loves animals (all kinds) and has two goats, three pigs and two dogs. She lives in Valley Springs and is about a mile away from PigLuv, a pig rescue run by two friends, Maggie and Kim. PigLuv currently has 80 some pigs…a few of them are being boarded until they can be sent to another rescue. Most of them will live at PigLuv forever. Many of the pigs are on strict diets, either to get their weight down to a healthy number or because of other health problems. About half a dozen of the pigs do not have the use of their back legs due to birth injuries or dog attacks or human neglect. Maggie and Kim take really good care of each individual. The pigs are housed into groups according to their personalities or for other reasons that I am clueless about. The only help that I can offer is collecting used blankets that the pigs can sleep on or under, depending on the season. And many of you have donated blankets – thank you. That was a long introduction before I tell you about something very funny (imho) that happened there on August 8th. Carrie went over early in the morning to have coffee with Maggie. Just before she got there, the power went out for some unexplained reason, that affected all the neighbors around. Now I did not know this, but PigLuv has a generator that has to be connected in cases like this to keep the water pumping for the pigs…(and apparently for Carrie and Maggie and Kim.} Carrie told me that she and Maggie carried the kitchen coffee maker (large and very sheshelala – sound it out) down to the generator to make a pot of coffee. Later, I learned that before they did that, they carried a large microwave oven to the generator. When I questioned the need for a microwave oven in a situation like that…it turns out that one of their newest pigs, Margo by name, refuses to eat anything but scrambled eggs! Margo’s owner recently passed away and so Margo came to PigLuv to be cared for until she can go to another rescue. Margo is really depressed and Carrie tells me that she is very spoiled and full of attitude! So Margo got breakfast before Maggie and Kim and Carrie got their coffee. I thank all of you who have graced us with used blankets for these precious pigs. PigLuv has a deal going with a Laundromat in Valley Springs that comes out and picks up the blankets when they need washing. Nothing goes to waste. I think you can find PigLuv on the computer and you can even learn more about them if you schedule a tour. You will be very impressed… Love, Mikki (the Pigs in a Blanket lady) P.S. It’s warming up now but the pigs still need blankets…

Things to Remember… BLUE CANS September 14 and 28 . Lunch Bunch – September 8, 11:30 – Olive Garden 2485 Iron Point Road (916-432-8791 for directions and menu) Call Karen Bramlett at 916-262-6687 if you need more information. Remember to leave your number so she can call you back if you leave a message or if you need a ride. I’m guessing everyone knows this, but just in case you don’t, we have puzzles and books in the clubhouse that you can borrow. We also have a nice pool room upstairs and a table for playing poker. And remember that we have an assortment of wheelchairs and walkers and potty chairs which you are welcome to use (but wait – if you want to use the potty chairs, you will have to take them home first - )…Check with the office for access to this equipment. Ok, ok I’m done now!

Stay Safe in Summer (I have repeated this purposely this month) Sakeena Raza, MD July 2, 2022

Summer is a great time to be active while enjoying the outdoors. While the sunny skies and warm temperatures provide many opportunities for recreation, this is also the time when risks of becoming dehydrated and sick from the heat are the greatest, especially for the elderly. Dehydration simply means that the body does not have enough water, and this affects its ability to function normally. Elderly persons are at higher risk of dehydration because as we grow older our bodies have less ability to hold on to water and to feel thirsty. It is important to understand the signs of dehydration and what to do.

The signs of dehydration An older adult who becomes dehydrated may develop: • • • • • • • • • • •

headaches dizziness muscle cramps lack of energy tiredness with minimal activity dry mouth low blood pressure rapid heart rate confusion dark-colored urine less urination

Dehydration can lead to serious complications.

Heat stroke in older adults This happens when the body heats up faster than it can cool off, like a hot radiator in an overheated car. Older adults are especially vulnerable to developing heat stroke when temperatures are high because of the aging body’s decreased capacity to adapt to changes in body temperature. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and can cause: • • • • •

high body temperatures (103ºF or higher) dry or damp, hot, red skin fast, strong pulse confusion loss of consciousness

Immediate actions needed for heat stroke: • • • •

Call 9-1-1. Move the person to a cool place. Cool the body with cold, damp clothing or a cool bath. Do not give anything to drink until stabilized.

Lake Park Estates Homeowner’s Association

As homeowners in the Lake Park Estates Mobile Home Park, all of us value our residency here, whether you have lived here for years, or perhaps you just recently moved to our Park. As owners, we all share a vital interest in the smooth operation of our Park and continued residency here far into the future. To that end, our Homeowner’s Association (HOA) is known formally as the Lake Park Estates Association, Inc., and has been a registered non-profit with the State of California since our inception in 1991. We are asking each non-member to please consider joining – the lifetime fee is only $25 (or sliding scale)!

None of us wants to even entertain the remote possibility of ownership change of our Park -- and we put emphasis on the fact that there is NO indication at present that there will be any change to the current ownership at any time in the future. An organized framework such as an established HOA simply supports assured continued residency should ownership of our Park ever change due to some unforeseen circumstances. The purpose of this pre-established HOA is to assist us in shifting into gear with our option to purchase our Park should that very distant possibility ever arise.

We are stronger together: of the nearly 190 total homes in our park, we currently have 82 HOA shareholders in our LPE non-profit corporation. Become a member of the HOA and have a say in the decision-making process. We need YOU, your energy, your ideas, and support!

If you are already a member, please know we greatly value your choice, and welcome your participation, suggestions, and feedback. If you are considering membership, we sincerely look forward to welcoming you as a new member – contact one of the Board members now!
