Q. My insurance company won’t pay for a new windshield, what should I do if t his happens

again?

A. Your insurance company will pay any amount over your deductible. 95% of people have a $250 to

$500 deductible. And that means YOU PAY! What your insurance company won’t tell you? Loweringyour comprehensive deductible to $0 will raise your six month policy about $40! That’s around $7 permonth. Have you paid a deductible lately? Some insurance company’s don’t offer a zero deductiblebut $100 is way better than$ 250.

Do the math, make the call and keep our number for the next time your windshield is damaged.

And remember, it is a California state law that says a insurance company may not raise your rates ordrop you based on a comprehensive claim.

7/24CALIFORNIA SENIOR MAGAZINE |

On many early afternoons, JerryReynolds departs his spaciousRoseville home and quickly de-

velops a brisk cadence, walking with a pur-pose that belies his years.

He’s right at home on the sidewalks of qui-t neighborhoods, scenic parks, and the

walking trails of Roseville, much like he iswhen slipping behind the microphone anddissecting another NBA game as the coloranalyst for the Sacramento Kings.

As an announcer of his beloved sport, theadrenalin begins to ow for Reynolds as thegame nears and he adroitly slips into his TVpersona. However, the daily walks don’t ar-ive with the same amount of enthusiasm.

Sometimes they require a certain motiva-ion, one where his iPod plays a major role.

Some days I need a little pick-me-up,” ad-mits Reynolds. “That means it might be aRolling Stones day for me.”

The raucous sounds of the Stones giveReynolds a needed pep in his step. But amore reective afternoon might nd himoading up his Joan Baez tunes for the after-

noon stroll.

His musical tastes go in many directions,anging from Bob Seeger, John Mellencamp,

Willie Nelson, Faith Hill, the Eurythmics,Beatles or more current artists like Adele,Duy or Amy Winehouse.

Reynolds clearly has a favorite basketballeam – you guessed it, the Kings – and aavorite artist as well, which might be a biturprising. Often his walks begin with a

Bob Dylan classic, like “Knockin on Heav-

en’s Door,” and the 60-80 minute walk con-cludes with the raspy voice of Dylan play-ing a tender version of “Lay, Lady Lay.”

“I have everything Bob Dylan has everdone. No question, he’s my favorite,” Reyn-olds said. “I like just about everything, ex-cept rap and heavy metal. I get lost in mymusic. It’s a good thing too, because in therst 10 minutes of my walk I want to quitve times!”

Dylan has remained relevant musicallyand the same can be said for the energetic,71-year-old Reynolds, who is in his 29thseason with the Kings organization, the last18 years as an announcer alongside GrantNapear.

His Kings tenure began in 1985 as an assis-tant coach and has included multitude roles,including head coach for nearly four seasons(1987-90), Kings director of player personnelfrom 1994-2013, and Sacramento MonarchsGeneral Manager for six campaigns (1998-2003).

Reynolds has always taken basketball seri-ous, and as the years started mounting, hehas displayed the same focus for his healthand well being, hence the daily walk. Di-agnosed with Type 2 diabetes (he’s from afamily of diabetics) in 2000, Reynolds ad-opted a strict diet, gave up the occasionalalcoholic beverage, and began a daily ex-ercise regiment that incorporates walking,treadmill work and light lifting.

The lifting is often done in the evenings at Johnson Ranch Racquet Club in Roseville,where Reynolds is accompanied by his trimwife, Dodie. Also a tness advocate, Dodie

provides intentional motivation for her scompetitive husband.

“I workout hard deliberately,” laug

Dodie, who grew up in Fort Wayne, Inana, where she played ve sports duringperiod when being a female athlete wasnpopular thing. “I don’t sweat, which boers Jerry, because the sweat comes pourio him. I always tell him – ‘did you brialong enough towels.’”

Married for 47 years with two grown chdren (Danielle, Jay), the kidding comnaturally for the couple, who met whenyouthful Reynolds was coaching basketband teaching at Vincennes Junior College

Indiana, and Dodie was a student.

“Having Dodie with me (at Johnson Rancis a real motivator,” Reynolds admits. watch how hard she’s working and it makme workout harder. She’s a grinder; she ally gets after it at the gym. She’s in greshape, still does her own housework aloves working in the yard.”

A friendly man with a quick smile and evquicker wit, Reynolds realizes maintainia healthy lifestyle is no joke. He takes da

nsulin shots and pills as well. He occasion-ally veers from his diet, especially on longoad trips with the Kings. But thanks in parto his wife, he’s much more disciplined at

home, which is why his weight stays around62 pounds, down from a high of 190 about5 years ago.

An active tennis player for nearly 40 yearswho worked out several times a week, Reyn-olds switched his lifestyle simply because hehad no other choice.

My doctor made that perfectly clear, it wasa real eye-opener for me,” he said.

Dodie didn’t join him right away. But like aot of people as they age, she sensed some-hing had to change as well.

I was tired all the time and putting onweight, and needed to something other thanhe daily chores,” explained Dodie. “I was

getting sti and had no exibility. I starteddoing my workout routines and it has madea big dierence.”

When the Kings are on the road, she has freeeign to exercise on the treadmill in Jerry’sherished “man cave,” which is frequently

o limits when he’s home. Meanwhile, her

husband knows plenty of places to walk inhe NBA cities he’s frequented for years.

And if the weather is poor, Reynolds can beound at the hotel gym.

I know Jerry walks in every city we visit,”aid Gary Gerould, the radio voice of the

Kings since the inaugural 1985-86 season. “Ixercise about every other day. But Jerry is

very diligent; he’s getting his walk or work -out in every day.”

Another thing that Reynolds makes sure to

do each day is laugh. He’s a rm believerthat a sense of humor and optimistic attitudeare two characteristics everyone should uti-lize to get through the tough times.

“If you can laugh at yourself, you will beamused all your life,” oers Reynolds.

Of course, anyone who is regularly aroundthe easy-going country boy from French

Lick, Indiana, knows that Reynolds self-dep-recating humor and ability to poke fun atanything or anybody can keep a roomful ofpeople entertained.

“Jerry is a funny guy and has that greatdown-home humor. He’s also sharp as atack,” Gerould said. “He’s a lovely person. Iconsider Jerry a very good friend.”

Friends come easily to both the Reynolds,who have lived in the same Roseville homeo Cirby Way since 1990. Jerry’s friends typ-ically come from his basketball associations,

while Dodie has grown close to neighbonear their quiet suburban home.

“We’re real Rosevillians, the area ts us vewell,” Jerry said. “Our little cul-de-sac halways been a stable neighborhood and wlove it hear.”

At an age when most people are retireReynolds remains vibrant and loves his jo

He has no set timetable for retirement.“I thought I would be a high school teachin coach all my life in Southern Indiana, this has been a dream come true for me,”said. “I’ve gotten the opportunity to enjthe best basketball in the world, and met aworked with many of my heroes – Bill Rusell, Willis Reed and Larry Bird. Who wouhave ever thought that?”

Rich in California histo-ry, Coloma’s MarshallGold Discovery State

Historic Park commemorates

the momentous Jan. 24, 1848,anniversary each year.

And James Marshall’s discov-ery of gold in the tailrace ofSutter’s Mill took on addedsignicance this year becauseof the park’s new replica millon the original site.

“This year is a special one,most importantly because of

the sawmill reconstruction,”park Superintendent JeremyMcReynolds said.

The working mill constructedin 1965 to replicate the Mar-shall mill has now been torndown and the new mill, builtwith hand-hewn timbers inthe style of the 1840s at a costof about $2 million, is readyfor viewing.

The Gold Rush that followedMarshall’s pea-sized gold ndreverberates to this day.

Mike Okey, a Shingle Springresident who volunteers at thepark blacksmith shop, saidthat one of the legacies of theGold Rush spawned by thediscovery is a certain spiritthat Californians carry withthem to this day.

One of the longest-lived art potteries the American West, California Faienwas founded in 1913 and remainedleader in the eld until production ceasin the late 1950s. Along the way, the smcompany explored styles and techniquto the fullest, from Arts and Crafts vas

Ihave have discovered the pathto world peace, and it is a gamecalled “pickleball.” In fact, if dip-

omats could nd a way to coax BarackObama and Vladimir Putin on a courtomewhere, relations between the United

States and Russia could be normalized ina single afternoon.

That’s because this game — played in a

pace about one-fourth the size of a tennisourt — engenders goodwill; is based oneamwork and cooperation between dou-

bles partners; is open to participants of allkill levels; and while games are spirited

and can be very competitive, few peopleplay to win at any cost.

For me, pickleball was immediately ad-dictive. It provides a decent workout, andt is as much fun as I’ve had in a long, longime. Perhaps the best part is that every-

where I have played — in Auburn, Grass

Valley and Santa Cruz — people are in-stantly welcoming, patient and willing tohelp a newcomer with the basics of thesport, which is a mash-up of badminton,tennis and table tennis.

While virtually anyone of any age canplay, the meteoric rise of pickleball’s pop-ularity can be traced directly to the seniorset. This is yet another example of “senior

creep,” where the needs of the burgeon-ing legion of retirees is being accommo-dated by our larger society, just as it hasdone with health care and specializedhousing. Anything to help encouragephysical activity is a good thing, though,and even tennis players who see their do-main shrinking are being good sports.

What also makes pickleball such a greatoption is the cost to play is next to nil …no expensive equipment or membershipsrequired. All you need is a sturdy pair ofcourt shoes and a paddle (not a racquet!).

Although there is a singles version pickleball, I’ve only seen people playidoubles, but you don’t need a partner. Jushow up and you are inserted in the rotion of players. Winners generally stay the court, but partners become opponenand change sides. It’s as democratic a fomat you’ll ever encounter because yseldom play with the same partner twienabling you to avail yourself of skills avice from a variety of players.

What’s more, there is no arguing abocalls — the team on the receiving simakes challenge-free “in” and “ourulings. Games are uniformly civil, anfrankly, everyone expects to win somand lose some. At the end of the day, mobservation is that for most folks it’s moabout the social interaction and exercrather than worrying about personal bscores. See you on the courts, and reme

ber … keep your eyes glued to the ball
