CSEA’S RETIREE NEWSLETTER
(continued on pg. 6)
CSEA needs the help of its retirees to re-elect California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson to another four-year term.
Torlakson has long proven he is a friend to classified employees and understands the value of classified work. Primary Elections will be on June 3. Retiree Unit Chair Bill Regis said it’s important for CSEA retirees to
support Torlakson because he under-stands the challenges facing California education and has fought tirelessly to increase funding to schools.
“As people who devoted our lives serving education and who under-stand the needs of our schools, we need to support someone who has a history of good leadership,” Regis said. “We need to re-elect Torlakson

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
It is time again for our Annual
District Meet-ings where we can again get together and see friends we haven’t seen
for a while as well as make new ones. Look for a brochure in the mail giving you all the information about meetings in your district.
This year we will be having our Retiree Leadership Training from Sept. 29–Oct. 1 in San Diego at the Wyndham Hotel, formerly the Holi-day Inn at the Bay. It seems like a long way off but it will be here before we know it. Start thinking about who the two delegates from your Council will be. We always have great speak-ers and good information that they can take back to your Council.
The CSEA Retiree Unit belongs to the Alliance for Retired Americans, which has been fighting against the chained CPI that President Barack Obama and Congress have been dis-cussing. Due to the hard work of the alliance and its members, President Obama has announced that his 2015 fiscal budget will not include a switch to the chained CPI formula that would
eliminate cost-of-living increases in Social Security and other programs.
We’re also keeping an eye on San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed’s pension initiative. Reed sued the Secretary of State because of the official language of the initiative. He did not win. It appears the initiative will not be on the 2014 ballot. CSEA retirees must be ready to fight against any attempt to take away the retirement security of classified school employees.
Tell your retired classified employee friends to join
the Retiree Unit!
We are still in the recruiting stage of growing our Retiree Unit and I hope that we can count on all retirees to talk to their retired coworkers about the unit and get them to join. Anyone who is retiring and has voluntary insurance with CSEA needs to sign up for the Retiree Unit before retiring to not lose their insurance benefits.

Outlook is positive for pension systemCalPERS saw large returns and is on path to being fully funded
Last year was a good one for the California
Public Employees Retire-ment System (CalPERS) as the pension system saw large returns on investment and man- aged to keep member health costs down.
CalPERS President Rob Feckner delivered his “State of CalPERS” speech in March highlighting some of the pension system’s accomplishments.
“We’ve made important deci-sions that will help us meet our pension obligations to current and future members and set us on a path to a fully-funded system,” Feckner said.
Last year, the CalPERS fund saw investment returns of 13.2 percent for the fiscal year and 16.2 percent for the calendar year. These returns increased the value of the fund to $284 billion.
“We’ve made important decisions that will help us meet our pension obligations to current and future members and set us on a path to a fully funded system,” Feckner said.
CalPERS staff was able to secure the lowest premium increase in 15 years at 3 per-cent for members who receive healthcare benefits from the pension system. Premium rates for members who have
Medicare-coordinated PPO plans saw their rates decrease by 9 percent. CalPERS also expanded its value-based pricing program by establish-ing reasonable threshold prices for certain medical procedures such as, knee and hip replacements.
“We’ve also expanded health choices for our members, giving them access to more health plan options,” Feckner said. “In January of this year, we reopened a revitalized CalPERS Long-Term Care program to new applicants.”
CalPERS also fought back attacks on defined benefit pensions and retirement security.
“We continue to maintain the unshakeable CalPERS position that we will fulfill our fiduciary responsibility to protect pensions,” Feckner said. “Nothing less than our best effort must be made to grow and protect the fund, and the pension and health benefits of those who serve California.”

Retirement didn’t mean the end of activism for John Coffee.
Instead, he sees the retirement years as a time when he can be even more involved than before.
“Once you’re a CSEA activist, you stay an activist,” Coffee said. “Whether it’s political action or by doing something benevolent, we have to get involved in our com-munity because there are things that retirees can bring to the table that people who are working don’t have time to bring.”
Coffee has been retired from his job in shipping and receiving for Porterville schools since 2009. During his four decades as a CSEA member, he made a name for him-self within the organization for his activism and involvement including serving on CSEA’s PACE, Legislative, Scholarship and Budget committees and was also state board member (VP). He was honored for his contributions to the association in 2012 when he was named to the Honor Roll.
Now, as a retiree, Coffee still devotes his time to looking out for the rights of others and to ensuring that legislative bodies act in the best interest of their constituents. He’s chairman of the Porterville Demo-cratic Club and often acts as watch-dog of the City of Porterville. He
encourages fellow retirees to keep an eye on their local governments as well as on the issues that affect CSEA and classified school employees.
“When I was an employee, there was a very easy way for the district to keep me quiet and that was to follow the law,” he said. “School districts sometimes don’t like to follow the law and that also applies to city governments. Someone has to be out there watching them and keeping them in line.”
As a retiree, Coffee still devotes his time to looking out for the rights of others.
Recently, Coffee learned that the Porterville City Council wanted to change the city charter to allow the city to reduce the retirement benefits of their employees. With the help of Retiree Unit Chair Bill Regis, Coffee put together a package of information on the city’s pro-posal and sent it to the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS). CalPERS President Rob Feckner responded by writing a letter addressed to the City of Porterville outlining why changing the char-ter to cut the retirement security of city employees was a bad idea. After receiving the letter from Feck-
ner, the charter review committee decided to reject the initial plan and decided instead to add lan-guage to the charter that protects the retirement security of the city’s employees.
“The letter was very pointed and they learned to not mess with PERS,” Coffee said, adding that there are other things the council has done that he’s helping bring to light.
Coffee’s dedication to service extends beyond political activities to social causes. He’s a member of the local chapter of a support group called Parent and Friends of Les-bians and Gays and serves on the Tulare and Kings Counties Suicide Prevention Task Force. Coffee and his husband Brock Neeley are well known locally as strong advocates for gay rights.
“We’re retired, at an age where we have lots of life experiences,” Coffee said. “Share that with others so that they can make new mistakes and not repeat the same old mis-takes we made.”

Gardening is a favorite activity among retired Americans
because it provides the opportunity to get outdoors and relieve stress by working with your hands. However, some feel they must give up gardening as they age because it can be a strenu-ous activity.
Use the right tools to have a garden you’ll enjoy
for years to come.There are several steps a retiree
can take to continue gardening. By modifying tools and techniques, a senior gardener can continue to take pleasure in this stress-relieving activ-ity for many years. Know your limits, plan carefully and use the right tools to have a garden you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Here are some steps you can take to make gardening easier on the body and more enjoyable:✿ Have the right tools. Use light-
weight tools of the right length with rubber handles and ergo-nomic designs. Long-handled or curved-handled tools provide
better grips and more leverage. Paint your garden tools with a bright color to easily locate. Use a vertical garden or trellis to plant and weed without stoop-ing or bending. Keep tools sharp to get the job done faster without wear to the hands and arms.
✿ Make the gardening environment as comfortable as possible by using a stool, chair or bench to avoid constant stooping or squatting. Build and design raised beds that provide a place to sit and garden.
✿ Garden early in the morning or late in the day and avoid being out between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. when the sun is at its hot-test. Drink plenty of decaffein-ated fluids to prevent dehydration and remember to take breaks in the shade.
✿ Wear the proper attire. Wear lightweight clothing, long-sleeved shirts, eye protection, sunscreen, a hat that shades the face. Use gardening gloves that protect the hands to prevent injuries. Get gardening gloves with leather palms or get “rose gloves” that protect your hands from thorns.
✿ Make gardening easier by replacing annuals with bulbs and other perennials to get garden color with less effort. Stagger plant- ing times and choose
plants that bloom at different times to provide color through most of the year. Choose the best time to do certain tasks. Soil is softer after it rains so it’s a good time to dig.
✿ Container gardening provides more accessibility and is easier to manage than a garden. Experi-ment with different types of con-tainers. Old baby bathtubs, buckets and wheel barrows can make great gardening containers. Deeper containers are useful for vegetables and small trees. Place the container where you want it and fill it with soil, natural fertilizer and plants. A layer of stones or broken pottery will improve drainage.
✿ Pace yourself. Don’t plant in a larger area than you can handle. Buy only what you can plant. Even if buying more plants is cheaper, it won’t be worth it if you can’t maintain all of them or if you don’t have a large enough garden to accommodate them.
Gardening tips for retireesHow to make gardening more enjoyable and easy on the body

Although they are often at risk of being the target of credit
fraud or telemarketing scams, seniors are not powerless and can keep from being victimized by following a few simple steps.
Con artists and scammers may target seniors because they think this segment of the population is more susceptible and vulnerable to their tricks since generations raised in the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s were generally raised to be more polite and trusting. Seniors also have less credit card debt and check their credit reports less often than younger Americans so it may seem easier for thieves to open fraudulent credit using a senior’s identity.
Studies have shown that fraudu-lent telemarketers target older Americans more often. Research has also shown that identity theft is oftentimes committed by someone the victim knows.
Here are some steps you can take to prevent identity theft and telemarketing scams:
n Telemarketing offers are usually too good to be true. Ask to receive the “unbelievable deal” or the “amazing prize offer” in writing so you can read it carefully before making a commit-ment. Never give out your personal information over the phone or inter-net unless you have initiated the con-tact or otherwise know for certain that a business is legitimate.
n Never give out your Social Secu-rity number, bank account numbers or other personal information over the phone. Tell the person you don’t give out personal information over the telephone. Treat it as confidential information.
n Commit all passwords to memory or keep them written down in a securely locked location. Never carry them with you.
n Adopt an attitude of healthy skepti-cism toward websites, phone
Take precautions to prevent credit fraud and telemarketing scams
calls or mail that offer prizes or give-aways.
n Obtain a salesperson’s name, business identity, telephone number, street address, mailing address, and business license number before you transact business. Some con artists give out false names, telephone numbers, addresses, and business license numbers. Verify the accuracy of these items.
n Never respond to an offer you don’t understand thoroughly and always take your time making a decision. Legitimate companies won’t pressure you to make a snap decision.
n Always check out unfamiliar companies with your local con-sumer protection agency, Better Business Bureau, state attorney general, the National Fraud Infor-mation Center or other watchdog groups, but remember that not all bad businesses can be identified through these organizations.

CSEA members and retirees
statewide are mourning one of the association’s most energetic and stalwart
leaders, Carol Jones, who passed away Jan. 7.
For more than 35 years, Jones devoted herself to CSEA
and the Retiree Unit, serving in a variety of local and state-
wide offices. Jones was a longtime member of Westminster Chapter 34
whom served as chapter president. She served as Region 12 Representative, Regional Political Action Coordinator, on a number of state committees, alternate area director, Area H direc-tor, association secretary and as Retiree Unit District H Director. She also served as a personnel com-missioner in Los Alamitos, where she continued to raise the awareness of classified employees. Jones was named a Life Member, the highest honor in CSEA, in 2008.
“Carol was a caring, strong woman who was never afraid to speak her mind,” Association President Michael Bilbrey said. “She was a driving force in CSEA and a tire-
less advocate for classified employees. Carol will be truly missed.”
Retiree Unit Chair Bill Regis had the privilege of working with Jones in a variety of capacities—she served on the state board while Regis was asso-ciation president and as Retiree Unit District H director. He said Jones was one of a kind.
“Carol Jones was a lady with a great sense of humor who loved CSEA and fought for the rights of all Classified Employees,” Regis said. “She will be missed by all.”
Friends and colleagues around the state will miss Jones’ wry wit, big heart and fearless attitude. Retiree Unit Secretary Mariam Stout described Jones as a popular leader who always wanted to contribute to CSEA.
“I remember very well that she loved to speak on all conference resolutions and was often at the micro-phone,” Stout said. “In the 80s there were many fads and one of them was to craft hats out of sections of beer cans that were crocheted together. I can see Carol now, standing at the microphone wearing that beer can hat.”
While accepting her Life Mem-bership at conference in 2008, Jones talked about what CSEA meant to
her over the years.“I love this union. I got
involved in it because I cared about people who weren’t
given their proper respect, their proper due, or anything,” Jones said.
Mourning the loss of a longtime activistRetiree Carol Jones devoted more than 35 years to CSEA
Elizabeth “Libby” Catherine Parsons, past president of San Jacinto Retiree Council 5024, passed away on Dec. 7. She was 87 years old.
Parsons had worked as the executive secretary in the guidance office of Rosemead High School.
Libby and her husband Sam loved camping with the family and they would drive every two years to visit family on the East Coast. She enjoyed cruises and road trips during her retirement. Her last road trip of 7,000 miles was in October of 2012. She was the oldest of 10 children.
IN MEMORIAM
“Watching people grow, watching people blossom, watching people come forth—I wouldn’t name them, I’d embarrass them. But it has been wonderful to watch the children all grow. Thank you so much for this award today.”

RETIREES SUPPORT TORLAKSON (continued from pg. 1)
so that he can continue advocating for increased safety and adequate funding to our schools.”
A former classroom teacher, Tor-lakson is keenly aware of the role classi-fied employees play in education. He is eager to continue working closely with CSEA leaders and other members of the education community to continue reinvesting in California schools.
“It means the world to me to have the support of CSEA,
its members and retirees in my campaign.”
“As a former teacher, I know that school employees are the heart and soul of a school,” Torlakson said. “They’re critical members of the team that has to work together to keep students safe and provide the kind of supportive school environment students need to succeed.
“It means the world to me to have the support of CSEA, its members and retirees in my campaign. It’s easy to get involved: you can like our page on Facebook and share information about our efforts with your neighbors and friends. You can also get more involved and sign up for campaign updates at www.tomtorlakson.com.”
During the past four years, Tor-lakson has fought for reforms that put decision-making power back into the hands of local school districts and
communities. He helped to create the largest system of after-school- programs in the nation and has overseen the expansion of career and technical training for high school students. Torlakson also worked dili-gently to pass Proposition 30, which increased funding to schools.
“I know that decisions about our education dollars are best made by local schools, parents, teachers and employees themselves–not politicians in Washington or Sacramento,” Torlakson said.
Torlakson has one declared opponent in the June primary elec-tion, Marshall Tuck, a businessman who has no experience in public schools. Some of Tuck’s endeavors in education include opening charter schools, privatization of public schools and outsourcing education. In this election, voters will have a clear choice between values and experiences.
“I’m a classroom teacher and a coach. Education is my life’s work,” Torlakson said. “I’m being opposed by a former Wall Street investment banker with no training as a teacher.”
It’s important for retirees to tell friends, family and coworkers about why it’s important to re-elect Tor-lakson, and participate in CSEA’s re-election efforts alongside members.
“Retirees have many opportuni-ties to help our brothers and sisters who are still working serving Cali-fornia’s students and this is one of them,” Regis said. “It would be great if retirees can devote any of their time to help re-elect Torlakson but at the very least they can talk to everyone they know about why he is the right choice.”
The Retiree Unit has a Facebook group that you can join to stay connected, ask questions and share information. Log in to Facebook and do a search for CSEA Retiree Unit, then click on “Join Group.”

HONORING RETIREES
(continued from pg. 1)
Support CSEA’s Victory ClubAs former classified school employees, CSEA’s retirees under-stand the importance of donating to CSEA’s Victory Club.
Victory Club donations are needed to help elect candidates to local school boards and legislators that will protect education for future generations, as well as the jobs that we once held as school employees.
In addition, as the retirement secu-rity dialog continues, we also need strong, worker-friendly legislators that will protect our pensions, as well as the retirement security of future employees.
Although retired, we still feel the impact of important legislative decisions made in Sacramento , as well as the actions taken by officials in our community.
Retiree Unit district directors and Retiree Unit councils are doing their part to make sure that our Victory Club has enough funds to fend off attacks on our pensions and to protect education.
Be sure to join CSEA’s Victory Club or donate what you can. Every donation helps. For an application, call Member Benefits at (866) ITS-CSEA (866) 487-2732.
Faye Lane was honored as the 2014 Woman of the Year from
the 21st Assembly District for her tireless dedication to serving others.
Assemblymember Adam Gray nominated Lane. She was honored at a ceremony at the Capitol in March.
“It is an honor to recognize her achievements, Gray said.
Lane spent 32 years working as a classified employee with the Ceres Unified School District until she retired in 1997. Currently, Lane serves the Retiree Unit as District E Director. In 2007, Lane was elected to serve as a member of the Ceres Unified School District Board of Trustees.
“Faye’s work as both an advocate for school employees and an advocate for students is remarkable,” Gray said. “She continues to put the needs of
