Neighborly Notes For those of you who missed the Family Feud Show on June 21, you missed a fun time to hang out with — and learn about — your neighbors. Hopefully, we will bring back this event another time. Many residents are getting out for exercise earlier and earlier as the summer impacts us. This includes a number of residents on bicycles. We need to remember to watch for bicycles as we drive in our vehicles — and those on the bicycles need to remember to follow the rules of the DMV. According to the California Driver Handbook,"bicycle riders have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists and are subject to the same rules and regulations." The four basic rules for bicycle safety are: 1) Maintain control of your bicycle. 2) Protect yourself by always wearing a helmet. 3) Be visible and communicate your intentions. 4) Always ride with traffic. Additional reminders include: when riding with a group, ride in single file, be alert for motorists opening doors when riding near parked vehicles and obey all stop signs and signal lights. Be sure to mark your calendars for our Neighborhood Watch National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 6. Join your neighbors for a potluck dinner and an evening of information about keeping our community safe and secure. The General Session of the Board of Directors meets on Thursday, Aug. 8, at 1 pm. This is your time to find out what is happening through listening to committee reports and hearing plans for future events. Beaumont Senior Services has been designated as a Cool Center and is activated. The Community Action Partnership of Riverside County is coordinating Cool Centers to provide sites where vulnerable individuals, seniors, the disabled and others in need of temporary relief from the heat can take shelter. Cool Centers will be open to the public when the Riverside County Department of Public Health issues a "Heat Warning." Watch and listen for "Heat Warnings" on your television, radio and local newspaper. By Bobbie Eckel Beaumont's Lunch and Learn program offers another interesting topic, one pot meals, on Thursday, Aug. 15, at the Albert A. Chatigny Community Center, 1310 Oak Valley Parkway. Reservations for the 11 am to 12:30 pm event are required. Call (951) 769-8539 to obtain more information or to sign up. One pot meals could certainly make summer cooking more pleasant — as well as leave more time for leisure activities. It's time again to sign up for softball! The Valley-wide Senior Softball League is looking for new members; interested players must be 55 or better and be ready to have some fun on the field.

Practice days are Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:30 to 9:30 am. Modified ASA rules are utilized. The League plays at Valley Wide Recreation Center in San Jacinto. Please call (951) 9274509 to sign up or to obtain additional information. Senior softball about to start A Follow-Up on Oldlympics Loved your article about the competition for people of our vintage! Just want to give you some more results from the Pasadena Senior Games for your August article. On June 28 and 29, my husband Randy and I went to Arcadia Tennis Club to compete for the second year in a row in tennis. Saturday we played 55 plus mixed doubles, and won bronze, and then Sunday we played our 55 plus singles, and we each won gold! Made some new friends and hope to see them again next time. So fun! Your articles are a great way to encourage more Four Seasons residents to make the trip next year, it's a pretty drive on I-210 and the competition is fun! The turnout for some events is smaller than everyone would hope for, so more participants would be great. Thanks! ~ Jo Fedorchuk Community News | FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2013 7
