The Tigercat is a new tool for lake and pond owners. Equipped with a side
mounted cutter, a loader, and a harvester belt, Tigercat gives us the ability to cut
and remove heaver weed growth under the water (down to 5ft) near the shore
and up on the shore, cattails, shore weeds up to 3ft and blackberries. We can
scoop up weeds, rip them out and load them on shore or onto our conveyor belt
into a waiting trailer to be hauled off. Tigercat allows us to mix a good mechanical
solution with reduced chemical use, or for customers that cannot use herbicides
Tigercat will provide weed load reduction, which reduces parasitic water loss to
large plants in your pond. For customers with expensive landscape, grass and
structures you finally have a service solution without the major cost of grounds
repair. For people with the red plant (azolla) we can remove it quickly into a
trailer, no more dumping for you to handle.

DLD SATISFIED CUSTOMER

Karen Chesney, is a homeowner and member

of the lake committee on a five acre lake in Loomis.
Living next to a lake was one of the driving reasons for
purchasing our property -- it is serene and beautiful. But with
that, there are challenges to keeping the lake pristine. Thats
why we need the expertise and management of DLD Service. Due to the warm weather
and lack of rain, the last three years have been difficult. Dana Andrews, President of DLD,
brought a fresh progressive and plan to us. They have a long-term vision that aims to
reduce chemical use, install aeration, and improve the overall aquatic environment so we
may enjoy the lake for many years to come!

Give back

Realtor and mortgage duo encourage

supporting Lincolns nonprofits
By Debbie Brown

ne of the things I love most about living in Lincoln is how there

is a true sense of community. To me, a community is one where
citizens, business and local government all work to create a better place
to live. There are two business owners in town who have especially taken
this to heart. Maribel Perez of Keller Williams Realty and Manuel Tobias of Tobias Mortgage opened their office in Gateway Plaza one year
ago, and have enjoyed embracing various organizations in town.
Perezs reasons for wanting to get so involved in the community is
simply that they "want to give back to the community that has embraced our business here in town and that is providing for our families.
Its important to give back to the very people that help keep your doors
open. We believe that we need to give back and bless those that are
blessing us."

five stars!
- Sarah Prince

"Having a good relationship with the community is essential for any

business to succeed. Most importantly, it gives me a sense of fulfillment,"
Tobias said.
When asked what organizations they've sponsored, Perez stated, "We
have sponsored different organizations and events. This past fall and
winter: The Lincoln High School Zebras Varsity Football Team and the

Lincoln Theatre Company. Most recently we did a sponsorship for

the Chocolate Ball; which has become the event of the year, held
by the Downtown Lincoln Association. Also, coming up we will
be sponsoring Lincoln Clay Day on Saturday, April 30 held by the
Art League of Lincoln and Lincoln Area Archives."
"We have helped other organizations on a smaller scale, such
as the Rotary Clubs Night at the Races, Kiwanis Charity Casino
Night, Child Advocates of Placer Countys A Night in Monte
Carlo and the two middle schools School Aptitude App, " Tobias
added.

Although their business is in Gateway Plaza, Perez and Tobias

are never strangers anywhere in Lincoln. Whether they're attending an event for one of the various organizations they sponsor or
are doing things with other businesses in the downtown area, they
are certainly familiar faces in our town. One thing is safe to say,
they make friends wherever they go, and enjoy every minute of
it. Tobias' excitement when talking about attending some of the
events for their beneficiaries is contagious.
"I really enjoyed attending the football games. The team did
great! I also enjoyed the Annie production of the Lincoln Theatre
Company. I had no idea how talented these kids were. I was
blown away!" he said.

In today's world where too many people are just "looking out
for No. 1," it's such a pleasure to see the values that Perez and
Tobias exhibit, and to know two people who try to live each day by
looking for ways they can help others.
With all the wonderful community things they've been able to
be a part of in the first year of running their business in Lincoln,
I asked them what was one of the most rewarding things they've
experienced with their community involvement.

March 2016 | LINCOLN VIEW

Without hesitation, Perez exclaimed, "We absolutely LOVED

the Annie production. It was amazing! Knowing that we have
made a contribution that in some way provided the Lincoln Theatre Company some support in order to serve these awesome kids,
is very gratifying."

It is very rewarding! I invite citizens and businesses to give back to our wonderful community

because in giving we end up receiving more than we

give, and I am not referring to something monetary.
The warm feeling I feel in my heart when I see I am able
to put a smile on someones face, puts a smile on my
heart and that is priceless.
Maribel Perez

Perez and Tobias would like to encourage other citizens and

business members in Lincoln to find ways to give back to the
community.

"If we gave back just a little, we can make this community even
better than it already is. Help anyway you can its extremely
rewarding," proclaimed Tobias.

"It is very rewarding! I invite citizens and businesses to give

is priceless," added Perez.
Knowing how much these two love being a part of this community, I asked them where they saw themselves in 10 years.

Maribel Perez and Manuel Tobias celebrate a one-year anniversary of

opening their office in Lincoln April 20.

"I would like to be involved

on a larger scale. If we can somehow use our businesses to really
help, it would be great. I would
love to work with the city to
increase homeownership, whether its through offering down
payment assistance programs or
specialty financing. Something
along those lines," Tobias said.

they responded, "There are many
ways to give back to an organization or to the community. Giving of
one's time is invaluable! We can't say we do that too much because we
are busy running our businesses and when we are not doing that we are
spending time with our families. However, if someone feels in their heart
the desire to give back, I encourage them to reach out to an organization
that tugs at their heart. Organizations are always looking for volunteers,
and of course donations."

undeniable confirmation that I have the right business partner and

that's a wonderful feeling," expressed Perez.
Lincoln has a very special community, and those of us who live
here know just how remarkable it is.

Tobias commented about their first year in town and explained,

"Honestly, I had absolutely no idea how tight-knit this community really is. Residents and business owners alike. People are proud
to be here, and its a contagious feeling. I can definitely say that
my expectations have been exceeded. Im glad to be here and look
forward to many more years."

Whether you meet with them because of a business transaction,

or you encounter them via one of the many ways they support the
community, you would be hard-pressed to find two nicer people.

"We are caring individuals and we will always put the client's
needs ahead of our own. We have almost 30 years of combined experience, we have a great track record of successful transactions and
we always strive for client satisfaction. The constant referrals from
our clients is what keeps us busy and in business; without successful closings and happy clients, the referrals wouldn't happen."
Although they've been able to work with various groups in
town during their first year in Lincoln, it's their goal to do even
more.

"Our goal is to have a relationship with 12 local organizations.

One for each month of the year. We want to be able to consistent-

Debbie Brown Photography

ly, month after month, give back to a different local organization.

We still don't have all 12 yet, therefore we are still considering
other organizations," they said.

If you'd like your organization to be considered to be a partner

with Perez and Tobias, "it's as simple as reaching out via email,
phone or simply stop by," stated Tobias.

The office address is 110 Gateway Drive, 130. Or contact them

via email at tobias@tobiasmortgage.com and maribel@maribelperez.com.

These two generous people don't do what they do for the

accolades, but because of the good feeling they get, and having the
knowledge that it helps the community. However, the appreciation they do receive from everyone is something that makes their
efforts even that much more rewarding.
"Everyone has been so appreciative. Ill never get tired of the
team plaques and the letters of appreciation. I keep them all,"
Tobias said.

Knowing that I live in a town like Lincoln, where so many of its

citizens and business owners try to find ways to make this a better
place to live, makes me think that I can't imagine living anywhere
else.
It appears that Perez and Tobias feel the same way because they
stated, "We are here to stay, we are committed to our clients, our
businesses and to our community!"

Elegant, delectable dining

Sun Citys Meridians restaurant pleases palates

By Kim Palaferri | photos by Kim Palaferri

hen it comes to dining options in the Orchard Creek

Lodge, at Sun City Lincoln Hills, Meridians Restaurant offers culinary excellence within the active adult community. The atmosphere is elegant with breathtaking golf course and
waterfall views, and best of all, its open to the public.
Located adjacent to the Lincoln Hills golf club house, Meridians restaurant has been open for 17 years.
Meridians is home to Chef Roderick Williams, a restaurateur who previously owned two other establishments. With
his vast knowledge in the culinary industry, Williams accommodates various diners experience with his zest for flavors. He
changes the menu every three months to please taste buds and
to cook within the season.

Williams and all the culinary staff take into consideration

specific dietary needs of patrons including diners who might be
allergic to gluten or are vegetarian. Popular dishes like, chicken
picatta are highlighted on the menu, and can be recreated to
meet gluten-free needs.
Meridians manager Kristy Woodin said that the staff goes
through specific training to help them recognize what options
might be best for patrons dietary needs.

We get completely booked, and walk-ins are somewhat hard to accommodate, but we do our best to make
things happen, Woodin said.
For $16.95, the prime rib dinner comes with a slice
of choice-cut meat perfectly seasoned and roasted with
a baked potato and vegetables. Each week, patrons pack
the eatery for the succulent prime rib and they typically
sell out. Prime rib leftovers are hard to come by at Meridians and when available, diners can enjoy a prime rib
sandwich during lunch on Thursdays.

Williams and Woodin work as a team with local

wineries and breweries to co-create a trending farm-tofork experience. Williams samples varieties of wine or
beer makers, and creates a complimenting menu that
enhances the flavors of both the meal and accompanying
beverage. Woodin said that attendees get an education
while tasting and paring meals from wineries like Secret
Ravine Winery and Wise Villa Winery.
With Easter just around the corner on March 27,
Meridians will play host to 1,000 people ready to dine
on the lavish Grand Buffet. The delectable spread of 70
gratifying dishes includes garden-fresh gourmet salads,
prime-cut meats and seafoods and irresistible desserts
made especially for the entire family. This is a pre-pur-

chase event only and Woodin said that they sell out every year.

Meridians is considered a local hotspot when it comes to night

entertainment. Tuesday nights are made for dancing at Meridians as
the room is transformed into a nightclub with a dance floor where
people jive to a live band or disc jockey music. Friday and Saturday
nights, diners are serenaded with live piano music by Roman Spinale.

Woodin said that the Summer Concert series in the amphitheater will be loaded with great entertainment starting in just a few

summer months, and that Chef Williams creates a distinctive menu

How local birds stay warm

despite cold temperatures and how you can help
By Janey Powers

ealing with winter weather can be a life-and-death struggle

for our bird neighbors. Fortunately, most birds are well
equipped to deal with the cold.
Birds are warm-blooded animals that have a much higher
metabolism and higher body temperature than humans. While
the exact measurement varies for different bird species, the average
birds body temperature is 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
It can be a challenge for birds to maintain such high body heat
when temperatures drop.
Feathers are a birds chief weapon against the cold. Many bird
species grow extra feathers as part of a late fall molt to give them
thicker protection in the winter. The oil that coats birds feathers
also provides insulation as well as waterproofing.

It is easy to think that a birds legs and feet would be particularly susceptible to the cold. However, its legs and feet are covered
with specialized scales that minimize heat loss.

A bird can also control the temperature of its legs and feet
separately from its body by constricting blood flow to its extremities, reducing heat loss even further. A bird will often stand on one
foot while keeping the other tucked close to its body. When the
exposed foot gets too cold or tired, the bird stands on the other
foot and nestles the exposed foot in its soft feathers.
A fluffed-up, shivering bird sitting on a tree limb makes us
think it could be sick. But fluffing and shivering are two other
ways a bird keeps warm. A bird fluffs out its feathers to create air
pockets for insulation against the cold. And a bird shivers to raise
its metabolic rate and generate more body heat.

Many small birds, including bluebirds and titmice, will gather

in large flocks at night and crowd together in small tight spaces to
share body heat.
Individual birds choose roost spots that may have residual heat
from the days sunlight, such as close to the trunk of a tree or near

24

March 2016 | LINCOLN VIEW

any dark surface.

Even with all these adaptations to conserve heat and stay warm,
bird mortality can be very high during a severe winter. Bird lovers
can help their feathered neighbors get an edge over winter.
The chief way to help backyard birds is to offer good food that
is high in fat and calories to give birds plenty of energy to generate
body heat.
If you choose to feed birds in winter, be sure to keep your bird
feeders full of nutritious seed so the birds know where to go for
a high-energy meal. Suet and black oil sunflower seeds are good
high-energy foods. Buy high-quality seed as inexpensive bags of
seed oftentimes contain fillers that most birds wont eat.

If necessary, birds can melt snow to drink but doing so uses energy that is needed to maintain body heat. If birds can drink liquid
from a birdbath or other water source in freezing temperatures,
they will have a better chance of survival.
Birds also roost in thick cover, tree cavities or manmade
roosting pockets and boxes to ward off the cold. If possible, leave
standing any dead trees that contain cavities that birds can use as
winter shelters.
Birds have many options available to help them stay warm in
cold weather. Your help will give
them an even better chance of
having a warm, healthy winter.

According to writing of Gaius
Plinius Secundus (23 A.D.
Aug. 25, 79 A.D.), better
known as Pliny the Elder, he
boasted that they [biscotti]
would be edible for centuries.

Italian biscotti
has ancient beginnings
By Dan Zahra

"b

iscotti" is the plural form of

biscotto. The word originates
from the medieval Latin word biscoctus,
meaning "twice-cooked." It defined oven
baked goods that were baked twice, so they
were very dry and could be stored for long
periods of time.
Biscotti is popular in many parts of the world and aside from
being eaten with drinks, theyare used as an ingredient in a variety of traditional dishes.In Catalonia, such dishes include rice
with sardinesand rabbit with snails.They are also used in sauces
with onions specificallycalots. In coastalBaix Llobregat, biscotti
are used in the sauce for a dish of duck stuffed with turnips.

26

March 2016 | LINCOLN VIEW

According to Sweet Tooth Design Company: Biscotti traces

back to the Ancient Rome when Roman biscotti was the most
convenient food for travelers and the Roman Legion. Because
biscotti are twice-baked, they result in a hard and dry texture, but
with a very long shelf life. According to writing of Gaius Plinius
Secundus (23 A.D. Aug. 25, 79 A.D.), better known as Pliny the
Elder, he boasted that they [biscotti] would be edible for centuries. Now you know who Pliny the Elder is too but thats another
story altogether. Hmmm, I wonder if biscotti goes well with beer?

I have never made biscotti before this, but I can tell you I most
certainly will be making it again. I will try many different combinations. The possibilities are endless when you play with your food.

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Directions:
Combine the eggs, extract, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl or
the bowl of an electric mixer and whip with a hand mixer set at
high speed or in a heavy duty mixer fitted with the whip. Continue
whipping until the mixture is very light and increased in volume,
six to seven minutes. While the egg mixture is whipping, combine
the flour, cornstarch and baking powder and stir to mix.
Remove the whipped eggs from the mixer and sift over the flour
mixture in three additions, folding it in after each addition with a
rubber spatula. The batter will lose most of its air and become
rather stiff. Add the sliced almonds and fold in.
Remove the dough to a floured surface and separate the dough
into cigar shaped loafs about 2-inches wide by 1-inch thick. Place
them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the
logs about 20 minutes, until they have risen and are golden.
Remove them from the oven and place the logs on a cutting
board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally 1/2inch thick. Place the biscotti cut side down on the pan and return
them to the oven for about 10-15 minutes (turning them over at
the halfway mark) until they color lightly on the cut surfaces.
Biscotti can be stored for up to one month in an air tight
container.

5 Things You Should Know Before Buying

Your Next Pair of Hearing Aids
+ Dont feel rushed.
Friends and family are a great
resource. Advertisements and
promotions cant tell you nearly as
much as a friend who has had a
fabulous experience. If you dont
know anyone, then visit a few offices,
at least two, and get a sense of who
you will be working with. You want
to feel comfortable with your
provider and not feel hurried
or that you are taking up the
providers time.
+ Try before you buy.
It is the law in California that
individuals can return their hearing
aids before 45 days if they do not
meet their needs. An office that sells
top tier brands of hearing aids and has
a skilled professional should be able
to program the hearing aids so they
provide a dramatic improvement to
your lifestyle. If you are not impressed
with the performance of your hearing
aids, you need to return them. Dont
give up, however! At our office, The
Hearing Aid Center, we know
that one size does not fit all,
so we carry hearing aids from
several manufacturers. If our
clients arent totally happy with their
hearing aids after several adjustments,
we begin a hearing aid trial with a
new manufacturer so we can find the
perfect fit.

+ Whats in the Package?

There are usually 4-5 levels of
technology: basic, mid-level,
advanced, and premium. Most people
can be fit successfully in mid-level or
advanced hearing aids. There is a
significant price range for hearing
aids. Ask for details. So why do
some offices charge $1,500
for a mid-level hearing aid
and others charge $2,500?
This is where your due diligence is
essential and can save you money
and disappointment. Find out what is
included in the price: warranties, free
batteries, free follow-up visits.
+ Kick the tires. Hard.
Hearing aid manufacturers have made
some great improvements in the last
several years. Understanding voices
in noisy places such as restaurants or
large rooms has greatly improved by
enhancing the clarity of speech and
minimizing background noise. The
first month of wearing your
hearing aids and kicking the
tires is crucial. Wear them in
restaurants, at the movies, watching
TV, on the phone, talking in the car.
If there are environments where the
aids performance is falling short, feel
comfortable about calling the provider
and getting an earlier appointment so
that they can better adjust your aids to
meet your needs and challenges.

+ Remember, dont lower

your expectations.

Dont settle for thats just

how it is. If you are not noticing
a significant improvement in
understanding your friends and family,
then ask to try a different hearing aid
from a different manufacturer or return
them and try another provider. We
invite you to include us, The Hearing
Aid Center, in your due
diligence. We strive to provide
the best service, offer the best
prices to achieve the highest in
customer satisfaction. Please
give us a call or stop by and let us
know how we can help.
