Sunday, September 14, 1986 AUBURN JOURNAL PAGE A-3 Rocklin seeks study to restore Finn Hall By John Branch Journal Reporter ROCKLIN In another attempt to restore the historic Finnish Temperance Hall in Rocklin, the city council has commissioned a new architectural study by Lardner Lardner of Auburn. The city also will apply by October for state funds under both the 1984 state Park Bond Act and the Historic Preservation Bond Act to help renovate the decaying, 81-year-old building. Longtime residents are eager to see Finn Hall restored but the city cannot raise the money without help from the state. Built around the turn of the century by the city's Finnish founders, the building once housed shows by celebrated actors and singers visiting from San Francisco. It is still used daily for a variety of social events ranging from wedding receptions and dances to the senior citizens' lunch program and Boy Scout meetings.
According to a study by Rocklin architect Mike Krem-pely two years ago, restoring the building could cost up to $711,000 and replacing it with a replica some $560,000. But Krempely was asked to evaluate the building according to standard building code requirements. The city has since decided it will try to meet only the reduced standards required by the historic building code. Jon Lardner is a specialist in historic building restoration, Recreation Director Mark Riemer told the council, and is involved in renovating the Historic Placer County Courthouse in Auburn. Lardner will be asked to evaluate the structural integrity of Finn Hall, assess the deterioration and suggest remedies in a priority list, said Riemer.
The council has budgeted up to $5,000 for the study and hopes to have Lardner's report by Sept. 26 to bolster its application for state funds, he added. The city's last application for restoration money of $300,000 was rejected in March of 1985. State funds at that time went to other monuments including the county courthouse.

Woman, 85, wins $4 million SACRAMENTO (UPI) An 85 year-old woman from San Diego became the latest winner of the California State Lottery's progressive jackpot Saturday, spinning the state's rainbow-colored wheel of fortune for a $4,235 million prize.
"My goodness," was the strongest thing Elsie Hopkins could think of to say when she hit one of the three stops on the 100-stop wheel designated for the Lottery's top prize. "I'm going to take a trip, and fix up my house, and do a lot of things I always wanted to do," she added when the shock wore off. "And I know some old people and children who need help." Hopkins was the second oldest person to win a progressive jackpot in the Lottery's 11-months of operation in California. The oldest was Rose Albrecht, 86, of Banning, Riverside County, who won $4.6 million on March 22. Hopkins was the 8th of 12 finalists to spin the wheel in the Lottery's 47th Big Spin show, taped for television release Sunday.
She was the 20th spinner since the last previous jackpot winner, Irineo Carranza, a Riverside laborer, who claimed a prize of $10,085 million on Aug. 30. The progresive jackpot reverts to $3 million after each win. It then increases by $65,000 every time a player tries for it and loses. Hopkins, a Louisiana native raised in Texas, said she has lived in San Diego for the last 24 years.
She said she is twice widowed, and that her second husband died in May, 1985. meted to a spot near the airport area, a sheriff's spokeswoman said.

CDA opposes Prop. 64 SACRAMENTO (UPI) The California Dental Association voted Friday to oppose Proposition 64, calling the Lyndon LaRouche-backed initiative "political opportunism" rather than a serious effort to deal with the AIDS epidemic.
"This is political opportunism at its worst," said John Lehman, president of the association. "Someone is using scare tactics and half-truths, while hiding behind a serious health issue." The initiative on the Nov. 4 ballot would add AIDS to a state list of contagious diseases, thereby banning victims and carriers from working in restaurants and schools as well as subjecting them to quarantines.
