Jessup Announces New Air Force ROTC Program
William Jessup University begins a new
Air Force ROTC program with the start of the
2014-15 academic year. The ROTC experience
allows students to earn an officer’s commission
and prepares them for many rewarding Air
Force careers upon college graduation.
Lieutenant Colonel. Loo Ng (retired) is
the current commander of the ROTC program.
Lt. Col Ng is heading up the inaugural program
at Jessup where he also teaches management
and organizational behavior in the Business
department.
“There is strong interest for college ROTC
programs in this region,” said Ng. “There are
over a dozen high schools with Jr. ROTC
programs within a 50 mile radius; however,
there are no known Christian universities
with college ROTC for a several hundred
mile radius.”
The Air Force ROTC college program
is offered at more than 1,100 colleges and
universities across the United States. WJU’s
AFRTOC cadets will attend and complete
required courses at the growing university
and take military classes with the Air Force
Detachment 88 host unit located at CSU,
Sacramento.
The new program at Jessup will combine
military leadership with a Christ-centered
education that equips graduates to serve God
and their country. Students are challenged
mentally and physically as they learn the
values of teamwork, personal integrity and
selfless service.
Students accepted to the program can
receive two, three and four-year scholarships
in most college majors. Scholarships help cover
the cost of tuition, books and lab fees. Students
may also receive a tax-free monthly stipend to
ease the burden of student loans.
About William Jessup University: Founded
in 1939 by William Jessup, the university moved
to Rocklin, California, in August 2004. WJU
is the first and only WASC accredited private
four-year Christian university to have its main
campus located in the greater Sacramento area,
offering degrees in many different disciplines,
including Bible and Theology, Biology, Business
Administration, Christian Leadership, Creative
Arts, English, Family & Children’s Ministry,
History, Intercultural Studies, Kinesiology,
Liberal Studies & Credentialing, Math, Music,
Organizational Leadership, Pastoral Ministry,
Psychology, Public Policy and Youth Ministry.
In addition, the university offers a Master’s of
Arts in Teaching. WJU also has a School of
Professional Studies (SPS) at its campuses in
Rocklin and San Jose. Program concentrations
include Business Administration, Christian
Leadership, Counseling Psychology, Criminal
Justice, Organizational Leadership, Public
Administration and a Post-Baccalaureate
Teacher Credential Program. For more

new offenses. We also offer jail
alternatives: Drug Court, Mental Health
Court and Veteran’s Court. We have also
adopted research-based risk assessments
to determine who is likely to reoffend or
fail to abide by their release terms and
then take steps to avoid those outcomes.
Recently, much of this work is in
response to AB 109 Realignment, which
resulted in non-violent state prisoners
being sent to county jails to serve out their
sentences. This policy shift has strained
local jurisdictions across the state. The
responsibility for dealing with a much
more hardened and sophistical criminal
– even though they are designated “nonviolent” by the state -- has moved to
California’s 58 counties.
Placer County officials realize that
the solution to addressing an increased
jail population is not simply building more
jail beds, but addressing the root causes of
criminal activity. Although the opening of
the new South Placer Jail will help alleviate
overcrowding, the long term plan must be
sustainable, by providing a bed for those
who need it, and providing opportunities
for rehabilitation to those who want to
and show aptitude for positive life change.
While we are doing many things right,
there is always room for improvement
and Realignment has pushed our selfevaluation to the forefront. We have a
goal of rehabilitating criminals, but of
also ensuring we protect the public and
keep the men and women who serve the
system safe as well.
As always, it is an honor and a privilege
to serve you. I always welcome your
feedback and can be reached by e-mail
at jduran@placer.ca.gov or by phone at

School Supplies, and Hope, Delivered
to Sierra College by AAUW-RSP
Enough pens, paper, binders, and markers
to fill the backpacks of dozens of college
students. That’s what Phyllis Brown and Mary
Rountree, of the Roseville South Placer Branch
of the American Association of University
Women (AAUW-RSP), are going to tote to the
Sierra College Foundation Office in Rocklin.
Lincolnite Phyllis Brown and Roseville resident
Mary Rountree are Co-Chairs of Community
Outreach for Sierra Student Supplies, a new
effort by for AAUW-RSP that has been a huge
success. The group’s campaign got a big lift at
last week’s Kick-Off luncheon, which collected
a small mountain of supplies.
These brand-new essentials will go to
students in a program administered by the
Sierra College Transition Support Team; it’s
designed to aid former foster care youth with
both academic and material assistance. Each
semester, as many as 150 emancipated foster
youth are identified for inclusion by the college’s
Transition Support Team. Under the college’s
Care-Pack Project, a major effort supported
by dozens of local philanthropic organizations
including AAUW-RSP, backpacks filled with
the donated supplies go to the grateful students.
“We hope the AAUW-RSP donations
will go a long way to help the many former
Foster Youth attending Sierra,” notes Brown,
“since these students often come to college
without even basic school supplies.” Caring
about students comes naturally to Brown and
Rountree; each is a former educator.
Every year in California, according to the
Sierra College Foundation website, some 4,000
foster youth transition from dependents of the
foster care system into emancipated adulthood
at age eighteen. These former foster youth
generally grow up in numerous homes with
few life skills or tangible items to call their own
and most don’t go on to college. Yet Sierra
College has some 75 to 125 former foster youth
pursuing the dream of higher education. These
students face a special challenge to pay for
college costs: from tuition and books, to school
supplies. Besides Care-Pack, Sierra College has
established a fund to help these students (their
goal is to raise $50,000 annually).

their Community Outreach Programs to

Making A Splash — Woodcreek Water Polo
BY JAMIE TOPPER
The Woodcreek Varsity Boys’ Water
Polo team started the season with a splash
as they took 3rd place at the Sierra Shootout
Invitational earlier this month. The team,
coached this year by Scott Bergemann, showed
they have what it takes for another promising
season.
Last year, they placed 2nd behind league
rival Granite Bay with only one league loss.
They went two games deep into Sac-Joaquin
Division 1 Playoffs before losing to renowned
powerhouse, Jesuit.
With an initial Shootout tournament
loss detouring them from the championship
bracket, they battled back with four straight
wins to take the 3rd place trophy home after
an exciting one-point victory against Buhach
Colony.
The team is led this year by senior
captains, Christian Emerson and Tyler Tovatt,
who ended last season with their names on the
top of league leader boards.
Emerson is currently the lead’s top scorer
and will be a dominant force as the season
continues. As of mid September, he led
the league in points, goals, and assists in the
Sierra Foothill League standings, scoring an
impressive 36 goals at the start of league play.
Emerson played throughout the summer
as part of the American River Club team, and
was named as CaptainU Water Polo Player of
the Month in August. CaptainU is a college
recruiting website tracking lead athletes in a
variety of sports.
“Christian had 5 goals, 3 assists, 5 steals
1 drawn ejection, scored the tying goal and
the winning goal in the medal game for 3rd
place in the tournament!” according to the
polo coaching staff. He also was stellar in the
earlier game against Merced tallying 7 goals,
1 assist, and another 5 steals.
Several players stepped up and did their
part throughout the tournament successes.
Tovatt was recognized for two 2 goals, 2 assists
and 1 steal against Justin Siena. Junior Zach
DeBoer had 3 goals and 3 steals for the game
versus River City.
Junior Sam Naugle also proved he will be
an additional strength for the team this season
in the initial scrimmage against El Camino with
7 goals and 1 steal.

The Ostrander Family
High School, she is involved in cross country
mountain biking for WHS and swims
competitively for the Woodcreek SeaWolves
as well as the WHS swim team.
“Lauren tried mountain biking on a
whim and found that she really enjoyed it. She
started in her freshman year, and during her
sophomore year, she made it onto the podium
each race, meaning she was always in the top
5,” said Renee. “She ended up 5th in State as
BY DIANNE CARLISLE
If you spend any amount of time talking
with Renee and Scott Ostrander, their love
for and pride in their children is hard to miss.
“We’re the supporters on the sidelines;
we’re the cheerleaders,” said Renee. “Tied into
that support is our desire for our kids to work
hard and be their best but still be teenagers,
to enjoy their middle school and high school
years. We want them to find a balance.”
Renee and Scott’s story began in Redding,
where they both grew up. Although Scott is a
few years older than Renee, they ended up
spending a lot of time together with a group
of about a dozen other young people at the
skating rink.
“Two of the other members of the group
also ended up married, and they told us that
they always knew Scott and I were going to end
up together,” said Renee with a smile.
After high school, Renee attended Shasta
College, finishing her undergraduate studies at
Sacramento State. Not completely content with
a Bachelor’s degree, and with Scott convincing
her to go back to school, Renee pursued and
received her MBA.
“I’m really thankful that he pushed me
in that direction and kept encouraging me,”
said Renee.
Renee works for CalPERS in downtown
Sacramento. In her position as acting division
chief, she oversees most functions for both
members and employers prior to a member’s
retirement.
Renee explained, “While most know
CalPERS for providing a monthly retirement
check to a member, there is a career’s worth
of interactions with employers to make that
happen. It’s fulfilling to serve that role, making
a difference in an individual member’s life.”
After several years in the military and
some of that time in support of Desert Storm,
Scott finished his nursing degree at Sierra
College and became a nurse. However, he’s
currently finishing up a different career path
in Folsom where he will most likely remain
for another 5 years. He hopes to go back to
Renee Ostrander, her mom Mary Beebe, Curtis, Lauren and Scott Ostrander.
nursing after that.
Four years ago, the family moved to West
Roseville. Before that, they lived in Citrus
Heights for nearly 15 years. When they decided
to move, Renee and Scott thought they would
find a place in East Roseville, but as they started
looking, it became apparent that West Roseville
was where they were meant to be.
“In the instant that we moved here, all
of the kids’ activities were very local, and it
was just much more convenient,” said Renee.
“With our busy jobs and insanely crazy hours,
having the kids able to walk or bike to some of
their activities has been so helpful.”
For Renee and Scott, watching and
supporting their children as they participate in
the sports they love is very important.
Sixteen-year-old Lauren and 13-year-old
Curtis are actively involved in local sports.
Initially, they played as many sports as they
could, including but not limited to swimming,
baseball and volleyball.
As a high school freshman, Lauren
participated in four sports, but she has
narrowed it down to two over the last couple
of years. Currently a junior at Woodcreek
a sophomore, and officially moves into JV this
year. With another good season this year, she
hopes to qualify for varsity for her senior year.”
As a member of the SeaWolves swim team,
Lauren has broken several records. When she
competed in the 13-14 girls age group, she
broke the 50-yard fly team, conference and
NorCal League records. She also set a new
team record for 15-18 women this year.
Curtis, an 8th grader at Silverado Middle
School, is involved in cross country running,
volleyball, swimming and year-round water
polo. With his water polo team, he travels
often to the Bay Area and Southern California
a few times each year, and Curtis has no
qualms about telling people that water polo
is his favorite sport.
“A fews years back, he tried out for a
competitive basketball team but didn’t make
the team, so we encouraged him to try water
polo,” said Renee. “On his first day, he couldn’t
keep his head above water while moving with
the ball, but now he’s a starter for his team.”
Since the club he first played for was still
starting to build, Curtis had an opportunity to
get a good amount of playing time with high-
California’s First School Teacher
When Dr. Isbell became well enough to
travel, he and his wife moved to Monterey.
When they arrived, they learned the Mexican
War had ended and California was about to
become a member of the United States.
On her very first night in Monterey,
Thomas O. Larkin, United States Consul,
who had heard of her previous school at the
Mission, awakened Olive. Larkin wanted her
to set up a similar school in Monterey.
Dr. Isbell began a medical practice, and
Olive opened a school with about two dozen
students. This number soon grew to about fifty,
with each student paying six dollars for a term
of three months. Unlike the conditions in the
Mission, Olive opened a classroom with a few
books, and with some pencils and paper. The
school was located above the jail. Only two of
her students knew how to speak English. A
tutor helped Mrs. Isbell, who spoke no Spanish.
The Isbells soon moved to French Camp,
a community near Tuleberg, where Stock-ton
now sits. They had barely settled when gold was
discovered at Sutter’s Mill. Dr. Isbell and others
organized the Stockton Mining Company and
set out for the gold fields.
Once when it was so muddy the horses
could not travel on the road, Dr. Isbell showed
up with a young boy helping him carry eighty

The future looked grim for the 130
Americans Inside Mission Santa Clara de Asis.
The gates of the crumbling Mission were
barricaded to keep out the Spanish soldiers of
Don Francisco Sanchez, who appeared on the
verge of attacking the newly arrived emigrants.
There was a climate of fear inside the
mission, especially among the children. Olive
Mann Isbell, the niece of Horace Mann and a
former teacher herself, could see the chil-dren
needed both attention and a haven.
She set the children and any others who
would volunteer to clean an old 15-square-foot
adobe stable. A rickety table and a few benches
were thrown together from scraps of wood left
in the compound.
“Before you get started, you’ll have to
learn how to use this,” she was told as one of
the men handed her a long rifle. When classes
began, she kept the weapon handy.
Mrs. Mann lacked even pencils and paper.
She wrote lessons on the dirt floor with a long
pointed stick.
From each spent fire she saved the
charcoal and wrote the youngsters’ A-B-Cs on
the palms of their hands. Olive Mann Isbell
soon became Aunt Olive to the children, who
tried to imitate her courage.
Thus began the first school in California
taught by an American.
Many of the emigrants in the compound
were sick, including Dr. Chauncy Isbell, a
medical graduate of Western Reserve College.
The Isbells came west with $2000 in re-serve
funds and a well-fitted wagon.
As they crossed the Sierra Nevada, John
Fremont met them at a pass near Bear River
and escorted them to Sutter’s Fort and then
on to the Mission.
Dr. Isbell was drafted to join Fremont and
his men. However, upon crossing the Salinas
River, he was stricken with typhoid pneumonia,
the so-called ‘emigrant fever’, and returned to
the Mission. Olive’s knowledge of drugs and
nursing served her well as she tended to her ill
hus-band and others suffering sickness. While
her patients slept, Olive made bullets to hold
off their attackers.

school-aged water polo players. Working out
and playing with older, stronger players gave
Curtis the opportunity to develop his skills and
build a solid foundation. Curtis plans to play
with his new club team for one more year and
then hopes to play for WHS as a freshman.
Curtis fills up the rest of his time with cross
country running in the fall, playing volleyball
with the Silverado Middle School team in
the spring, and swimming for the SeaWolves
in the summer.
Renee has always been a part of whatever
the kids are doing, from being a team parent to
helping with travel for the cycling team. Most
recently, she has been vice president on the
board for the SeaWolves, and this year, she
will hold down the position of president for
the 2014-2015 season.
“As a parent, I love the family environment
that we have found in the swimming
community, and that’s also why we love
cycling,” said Renee. “It’s the same type of
environment. Families are together all day,
watching and cheering each other on. It’s
not just 45 minutes together for a game. It’s
a day together getting to know each other
and building lasting friendships, parents and
kids alike.”
Renee’s mom is also an important part of
the Ostrander family. Although her home is in
Etna, California, a small town about a 1/2 hour
outside of Yreka, near the Oregon border, she
spends a lot of time in West Roseville
“We’re not a family of four, but a family
of five,” said Renee. “My mom has been able
to vacation with us twice this year, and we
all had a wonderful time. She also pitches
in to help when the kids are going different
directions. This summer, she took Curtis to
the Bay area to participate in Junior Olympics
for water polo while I was here with Lauren
for swim championships. With Scott often
working weekends, she’s the reason we can
still make it work.”
Someone once said that the only
institution that works is the family. For the
Ostrander family, it’s an institution that works
very well.

pounds of gold in sacks on their backs.
While Dr. Isbell was away mining, the
twenty-four-year-old Olive was left to care for
the horses, chickens, milk cows and 600 head of
cattle. Her only help was a nine-year-old boy.
She discovered the Indians liked the
type of clothing she wore. Sh e made an outfit
every day, which she traded for two ounces of
gold. She soon found herself cooking meals
for travelers, for which she charged a modest
sum. She received $500 in gold when she sent
a wagon to Stockton filled with two demijohns
of milk, two of cream, some eggs, four-dozen
chickens, and a few pounds of butter.
By 1850, the Isbells had become wealthy.
The couple had no children. Dr. Isbell wanted
to travel and convinced his reluctant wife to
sell their French Camp holdings.
Eventually, they returned to California
and settled in Santa Paula. Olive died there
on March 25, 1899.

Systemics are chemicals that are readily
found at virtually all retail stores that sell
plants.
Granular fertilizers, which were
featured at the outset of these articles, are
a systemic in that they feed the plant by
introducing needed chemicals into the soil
that are then delivered to the plant through
the root system.
When I think of systemics, however, I
think of the various chemicals that gardeners
use for Insect Control and Disease Control.
Insects. Aphids, scale, whiteflies,
mealybugs, borers, caterpillars and many
more insects love to dine on our favorite
plants. The best way to combat these pests
is to apply a systemic chemical mix that we
deliver to the soil so that the roots can absorb
it and deliver it to every corner of the plant.
The plant is not troubled by these chemicals;
however, all those nasty pests that are
planning to dine at their favorite restaurant
– are repulsed and make a hasty exit.
Using a systemic in this way is the most
effective and painless way to free your plants
from virtually all these insects that feed
on our plants. I consider them to be FAR
superior to using chemical sprays that can
get blown by the wind, may be hard to mix in
the exact proportion called for, can do harm
to the plant if not applied exactly right, or
need to go underneath the leaves which is
nearly impossible to do.
Water is often recommended to blast
aphids away from our crape myrtles. And,
it works to the extent that the water jets
clean all of them away. But, a week later
they are back – because they simply cannot

program? We have a meeting for you! This
meeting is open to the public on Saturday,

DON’T return!
Diseases. Systemic chemicals are also
quite important in controlling common
diseases such as black spot, powdery mildew,
rust, blight, and other diseases. The control
process is the same. Apply to the soil in the
root zone – which is everything from the
trunk to the outermost branches and leaves
- and let the roots take up the chemicals as
they drink.
The best method of prevention is to
apply the systemic product at the end of
winter when new growth is about to start.
Many such products will say right on the
container label that one good application at
the start of the growing season is good for the
entire year. For others, they will state just
how long before you should apply again. I
use them at the start of each growing season
and then again when I see “evidence”.
BAYER offers an impressive assortment
of these products – including “Tree & Shrub
Protect & Feed” and “Rose & Flower Care”.

Workshop on the Joy of Self-Publishing
Have you ever wanted to have your
writing published, but didn’t know how?
Do you want to gift your family with a
written legacy about your life, but didn’t
know how to even start? Three SCR
residents will reveal the secrets of selfpublishing your work in a workshop titled
“The Joy of Self-Publishing,” on Nov. 18th
at Timbers Lodge from 10 a.m. to noon
in the Cedar room.
Bud Gardner and Jennifer Martin,
co-owners of their publishing company,
Prairie Angel Press, and Alton Pryor,
owner of Stagecoach Publishing, are
offering this free presentation to show
residents the benefits of self-publishing
their own writing.
Gardner and Martin have published
three books: The Angels Speak: Secrets
from the Other Side, a best seller
in Northern California (now out of
print); The Huna Warrior: The Magic
Begins, winner of a bronze medal for
Best Visionary Fiction in 2007 from the
Independent Publishers of America, and
the most recent, Psoriasis-A Love Story
which details Martin’s 30-year search for
a cure for psoriasis. Kirkus Reviews calls
Martin’s latest book “a worthwhile read.”
Alton Pryor, who has published 20
books and 30 ebooks, writes extensively
about California history and the old West
in books such as Little Known Tales in
California History, Little Known Tales
in Sacramento History, and Outlaws and
Gunslingers. His Publish It Yourself:
Five Easy Steps to Getting Your Book in
Print is a best seller. Pryor visits festivals
such as the Mandarin Festival in Auburn
every year to sell his books, which are
also available at outlets such as Barnes
and Noble and Costco.
“I’m finding more and more people
interested in books these days,” said Pryor,
“not only in buying them, but in writing
their own as well.”
Gardner, co-author of Chicken Soup
for the Writers Soul, part of the New York
Times best-selling series, Chicken Soup for
the Soul, taught Writing for Publication at
American River College for many years
and had many students go on to become
successful authors, earning, in some
cases, millions of dollars for their books.
“It’s time to share your writing with the
world,” Gardner said. “This workshop will
get you started.”
In addition to writing books, Martin
is an award-winning screenwriter and
videographer as well. “There’s something
really magical about holding a book you’ve
written in your hands or seeing a movie
you’ve produced on the screen,” Martin
said. “We hope to inspire you to channel
your own creativity right away.”
For further information, call Bud
Gardner at 916-781-2830. Visit Martin’s
