Amphitheater Tonight—Roy Orbison Tribute
Revisiting the Orbison Years
Thursday, July 29
7:30 p.m. at the Amphitheater
Sponsors: MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center,
Independence at Home
Revisiting the Orbison Years pays tribute to Roy Orbison, known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures and such iconic emotional ballads as “Only the Lonely,” “You Got It” and “In Dreams.” His music was described by critics as operatic, earning him the nicknames “the Caruso of Rock” and “the Big O.”
In Revisiting the Orbison Years, Mark Barnett takes on the persona of Roy Orbison from the moment he walks onstage. With Roy’s music and a video show, the tribute recounts Orbison’s story from his years at the Sun Record Label to his death in 1988.
Barnett started out on his musical journey at the age of 13 singing in his father’s band, The Johnny Barnett Show. In 1991, he struck out on his own with his Roy Orbison tribute show.
Over the years, Barnett and his group, the Black & White Knights, have performed at venues such as the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano and the Elks Opera House in Prescott Arizona, to name a few. Barnett has an authentic Orbison style and vocal range that capures the singer with such classic hits as “Crying,” “Oh, Pretty Woman,” Running Scared” and more. The master musicians who make up The Black & White Knights bring all the ingredients of an actual Roy Orbison concert.
Come celebrate summer on July 29. Admission is free. Residents must have GRF photo ID cards for admission to Amphitheater shows. Non-resident guests must be accompanied by a resident shareholder.
Smoking is not permitted at the Amphitheater, which is located behind the LW News Office in the GRF Administration complex.
No parking is allowed in front of Amphitheater on St. Andrews Drive along the southbound lanes.
Minibus transportation will be available before and after shows. Koffel’s food trucks and Mandie’s Candies will provide options for pre-event dining.
Pool Progress Update
With City of Seal Beach and Orange County Health Care Agency approvals in place, work on the pool has begun in earnest.
As of July 27, pool excavation was 80 percent complete with the job expected to be completed by the end of the week. Workers have begun plumbing and electrical trenching. Locker rooms have been prepped for slab pouring, and laying the plumbing pipes will soon be underway.
The pool has been closed since November 2019, when potentially catastropic defects were uncovered in the 1960s-era facility.
The project that started as a simple remodel soon morphed into a full-blown reconstruction in the name of safety. The project coincided with the coronavirus epidemic, which has delayed construction, parts procurement and other facets of the job.
The facility will boast a pool with five swimming lanes, a 30-by-30-foot activity area with a volleyball net, a 9-by-25-foot spa, new locker rooms and a lounge area in a reconfigured space to maximize potential.
Minari will be shown Aug. 6
The GRF will screen the Academy Award-winning 2020 drama “Minari” on Friday, Aug. 6, at 8:30 p.m. in the Amphitheater. The show is co-sponsored by the Korean American Association. A very special personal greeting to LWSB, graciously provided by the film’s prestigious editor, Harry Yoon, will precede the film that night.
“Minari” was produced by Brad Pitt, and written and directed by Lee Isaac Chung. It is a semi-autographical expression of the latter’s family of South Korean immigrants trying to make a new life in rural Arkansas in the 1980s.
Jacob Li moves his young family from California to start over on a 50-acre farm, where he dreams of finding success in raising Korean fruits and vegetables for the 30,000 immigrants who come to the U.S. every year from his homeland. Struggling with a skeptical wife, cultural adjustments, the constant threat of financial ruin and a young son with a heart condition, he must now adjust to his mother’-in-law arriving from Korea to live with them in their tiny trailer.
Among the vignettes of tears and humor, the metaphor of minari, a tough Asian vegetable that survives under difficult circumstances almost anywhere, permeates the film through the actions of the wise but iconoclastic grandma, Soonja, portrayed by veteran Korean actress Youn Yuh-jung.
Among its many accolades, “Minari” earned six nominations at the 93rd Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Score, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor (Steven Yeun), and Best Supporting Actress (Youn), with Youn winning for her performance, making her the first Korean to win an Academy Award for acting. It also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, and earned six nominations at the 74th British Academy Film Awards, including Best Film Not in the English Language.
This film transcends cultural lines and will touch all those who see it regardless of their ethnic background. Don’t miss this special open-air screening of one of the best movies of 2020.
The 2020 Oscar-winning movie “Minari” will be held in an outdoor theater on Friday, Aug. 6. at 8:30 p.m. It will be screened at Amphitheater. Admission is from 7:30 p.m., and various companies will provide information necessary for living. More details about this film will be published in the newsletter issued by KAA at the beginning of each month.
In addition, if you have not registered as a Korean member in the past, please take this opportunity to join the Korean American Association. Even if you do not want to join as a member now, you will be listed in the Seal Beach LW Korean Phonebook, which will be published at the end of 2021.
Please register your address and name as soon as possible by emailing President Wook J. Cho, at wjcho827@gmail.com.
Protect the Pipes
Sewer lines can become blocked due to grease buildup or debris in the pipes. When this occurs, wastewater is stopped by the blockage and backs up to the first available outlet. This may be a toilet fixture or sink.
GRF Service Maintenance has seen an increase in blocked pipes in the community. LW Mutuals are in the process of replacing 60-year-old pipes, but in the meantime, residents can help prevent stoppages by:
• Never flushing diapers, feminine hygiene products, paper towels or cleaning wipes down the toilet. The only things that should be flushed are the three Ps: poo, pee and toilet paper.
• Never pouring fats, oil or grease into your kitchen sink. Grease adheres to the inside of sewer pipes. It can build up and block the pipe, causing an overflow. Fats, lard, oil, butter, food scraps, sauce and dairy products should be disposed of in the trash.
Tips for proper disposal
• Save cooking grease in an old coffee can or cardboard milk container. Once cooled, dispose of it in the trash.
• Throw coffee grounds away in the garbage or add them to your mulch pile.
• Use a screen or drain-grate to cover the drain’s opening.
To keep pipes clean, pour one cup of vinegar down the drain and let it sit for 30 minutes; then chase it down with very hot water. Vinegar is a wonder cleaner.
It contains acetic acid, which acts as an excellent organic solvent in removing organic buildup of crud in pipes.
Sink strainers are available through the GRF Purchasing Department at the Copy and Supply Center in Building 5.
How to spot a phishing scam
Phishing is not a new phenomenon, but due to the increasing complexity of phishing scams, knowing how to spot a phishing email is becoming more important than ever to protect personal data.
How to Spot a Phishing Email
The first step in spotting a phishing email is knowing what it is. The most accurate definition of a phishing email is an email sent to a recipient with the objective of making the recipient perform a specific task. Attackers make their emails look genuine and include a request to click on a link, open an attachment or provide other sensitive information such as login credentials.
Socially engineered phishing emails are constructed to appear genuine to their targets. The recipient is more trusting of the email and performs the specific task requested in the email.
If the recipient clicks on a link to a malware-infected website, opens an attachment with a malicious payload or divulges their login credentials, an attacker can access his or her information undetected.
7 Ways to Protect Yourself
Phishing emails often evade detection by email filters due to their sophistication. They have the right Sender Policy Frameworks and SMTP controls to pass the filters front-end tests. Because they are often individually crafted, they can even evade detection from advanced email filters. However, phishing emails often have common characteristics; they are frequently constructed to trigger emotions such as curiosity, sympathy, fear and greed. Watch out for the following:
• Emails Demanding Urgent Action
Emails threatening a negative consequence or a loss of opportunity unless urgent action is taken are often phishing emails. Attackers often use this approach to rush recipients into action before they have had the opportunity to study the email for potential flaws or inconsistencies.
• Emails with Bad Grammar and Spelling Mistakes
Another way to spot phishing is bad grammar and spelling mistakes. Most legitimate companies apply spell-checking tools to outgoing emails by default to ensure their emails are grammatically correct.
• Emails with an Unfamiliar Greeting or Salutation
Emails that start “Dear” or contain phrases not normally used in informal conversation should arouse suspicion.
• Inconsistencies in Email Addresses, Links & Domain Names
Another way to spot phishing is finding inconsistencies in email addresses, links and domain names. Does the email originate from an organization you’ve corresponded with often? If so, check the sender’s address against previous emails from the same organization. Look to see if a link is legitimate by hovering the mouse pointer over the link to see what pops up.
If an email allegedly originates from (say) Google, but the domain name reads something else, the email is likely a phishing attack.
• Suspicious Attachments
Emails with attachments should always be looked at carefully—especially if they have an unfamiliar extension or one commonly associated with malware (.zip, .exe, .scr, etc.).
• Too Good to Be True Emails
Too good to be true emails are those which incentivize the recipient to click on a link or open an attachment by claiming there will be a reward of some kind. If the sender of the email is unfamiliar, it’s likely a phishing email.

Agatha Christie was a pioneering mystery writer in the 20th century. According to Guinness World Records, Christie is the world’s best-selling fiction writer with estimated sales of over 2 billion. She was contemporary for her time; her depictions of human behaviour and motivations are still relevant today.
The novels are composed of cunning storylines with astute observations and a touch of humor. “And Then There Were None” is Christie’s best-selling novel, with 100 million sales to date, making it the world’s best-selling mystery ever and one of the best-selling books of all time. “The Mousetrap,” Christie’s stage play, written as a birthday present for Queen Mary, is the world’s longest-running play.
The most recent film adaptation of “Murder on the Orient Express” was released in 2017, which is 83 years after the book by the same title. Most of Christie’s books and short stories have been adapted for television and more than 30 feature films are based on her work. Visit the Leisure World Library and check out its extensive collection of Agatha Christie, the Queen of Mystery.

LW Weekly editor wins award
The Orange County Press Club’s annual Excellence in Journalism Awards presentation was held virtually on July 22. Among the award winners was LW Weekly editor Patty Marsters, who placed third in the Best Arts/Culture Story or Review category for Specialty Publications with “ICT streams performance of ‘Daisy,’ starting Oct. 24.”
The article appeared in the Oct. 22, 2020, edition of LW Weekly.
According to its website, the OC Press Club exists to support, promote and defend quality journalism in Southern California. Its membership includes Orange County-based publishers, editors, journalists, reporters, broadcasters, public information officers, public relations professionals and journalism students.
The members of the club’s board of directors represent about 10 different Orange County outlets.
In this year’s contest, there were 154 entries from 97 members across 50 categories.
Marsters joined LW Weekly as a page designer and editor, managing the Arts & Leisure, Government, and Health & Fitness sections, in October 2020.
She has served on the board of the OC Press Club for 23 years and is currently its treasurer.
Emergency Broadband Benefit
During shutdowns required to fight the COVID-19 epidemic, having an Internet connection was necessary to stay connected with family and friends, fending off loneliness and isolation for many older adults. There were video chats, telehealth visits, YouTube prayer sessions, online classes are examples. Once people become familiar with the Internet, the whole world opens up. A device as simple as an electronic reader like Kindle and Internet access can put an entire library at a person’s fingertips.
To help seniors afford Internet service, the Federal Communications Commission launched the Emergency Broadband Benefit program (EBB) in May. It offers up to $50 a month to offset broadband costs for low income people like those on Medicare or receiving SSI or SNAP.
EBB is making $3.2 billion available for people with low incomes or whose income declined substantially during the coronavirus pandemic. The program was part of the third stimulus bill and will connect eligible households to jobs, critical healthcare services, virtual classrooms.
About the Emergency Broadband Benefit
The EBB will provide a discount of up to $50 per month toward broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.
The EBB is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.
Who Is Eligible for the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program?
A household is eligible if a member of the household meets one of the criteria below:
• Has an income that is at or below 135 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid or Lifeline. The income limit increases with the number of people living in the same household. Others who have experienced a substantial loss of income since the pandemic started in 2020 may also qualify. Income limits are $17,388 for one person; $23,517, two people; and $29,646, three people.
• Experienced a substantial loss of income due to job loss or furlough since Feb. 29, 2020, and the household had a total income in 2020 at or below $99,000 for single filers and $198,000 for joint filers
• Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider’s existing low-income or COVID-19 program.
How to Apply
Eligible households must both apply for the program and contact a participating provider to select a service plan.

I live in an end unit on El Dorado Drive in Mutual 8. I am in direct line to the wall and the DWP power plant.
This unit was remodeled with dual pane sliders. I asked about the noise generated by DWP and was told that the noise level was being improved by the installation of new towers and that it was already better than it had been. I moved in believing it was getting better.
After several large tanks were dismantled, an increase in a high pitch whine and humming started. Friends noticed the increase in noise. I spoke with a DWP supervisor, who said removing the tanks possibly took away a sound barrier. The noise is a constant, 24/7.
I tried foam ear plugs and noise-blocking headsets (with no music) and installed heavy duty plastic blinds in my patio to try to dampen the noise.
I even block the vent in my bathroom, which funnels outside noise.
All the traffic, commercial airplanes, construction work, mower/blower landscapers, loud-talking people, slamming car doors, everything outside my unit wall stops at night, except the noise from the DWP.
How can I get the DWP to try to mitigate its noise pollution?
Your recent article on noise stated, “The annoyance can have major consequences,” and I can confirm that.

NPR today presented a study on the importance of libraries to communities.
The study concluded that libraries, the people who work in them and the people who visit them are critical in maintaining our democracy. So please visit our excellent LW Library and the Friends of the Library Bookstore and feast on the wonders that they hold and know that each of us can make a difference in our community life.
Also, if you have extra time, consider volunteering your services. Your energy and talents would be welcome!

My thanks to Pastor Bruce Humes for offering a very wholesome and “feel good” movie. “Woodlawn” was a wonderful movie that offered hope and joy to those viewing it.
What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours a month. If you want your spirits lifted, watch for the LW newspaper’s First Christian Church article about the next great movie (usually at the end of the month).

During Abilene’s summer kick-off concert at the Amphitheater, it felt like things were back to normal. Thousands cheered, sang, danced and did the hand jive. For an hour and a half, we broke out of the Groundhog Day cycle and started toward a new life.
In the lockdown period of the pandemic, many worked from home permanently planted in front of a computer screen during work hours. A psychologist from Arizona State University, Michelle Shiota, discovered after six months of lockdown she didn’t feel like herself. By the fall of 2020, she felt as though her mind had shrunk. Fortunately, she knew just what could help her break the mind-numbing cycle.
Michelle’s shrinking brain rebounded when she got outside for a few minutes each day to search for “awe.” This newly adopted routine forced Michelle to look beyond herself and take in new discoveries that were outside her daily routine.
Piercarlo Valdesolo, a researcher at Claremont McKenna College, describes awe as “the feeling that occurs when you encounter something unexpected, unexplainable, vast and extraordinary.”
My search for awe was in the discovery of colorful flowers and trees throughout Leisure World on my morning walks. Thousands of shareholders graciously shared their favorite flowering trees and shrubs, for me to discover. I captured images of my favorites on my iPhone and shared them with friends on Facebook and Instagram.
These moments of awe open eyes and hearts to the wonders of the world around us and help push aside the feelings of entrapment that COVID forced on us. Just as Michelle Shiota and I discovered, the world that had been just outside our door opened up to us as we sought awe.
Valdesolo explains that awe makes you realize there’s something significant beyond yourself, and when you see it, concerns fade into the background, and you become more interested in the collective, our shared society. We become more generous, more helpful, and are more cooperative.
Thinking less of ourselves and focusing outwards is the antidote to isolation. Other studies reveal that awe reduces stress, helping to calm you down. Shiota states, “our fight-flight sympathetic nervous system activation dials back a little bit. People feel an impulse to stop moving and really just take in the information about what’s happening before acting next.”
The best advice is to take a moment each day to seek awe. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a psychologist at Northeastern University explains, “over time, it becomes easier to feel this mood-boosting emotion. It may sound hokey in the abstract, but I can guarantee you that if you practice it, then that practice is essentially helping to rewire your brain to be able to make those emotions much more easily.”
Why not fill every day with awe? Take awe walks or drives around our neighborhood or along the beach. Look for unexpected, extraordinary, and inspiring everyday things. As you notice them your whole body will relax, and your heart and soul will shake off the residue of the lockdown.

Opera Club to show Mozart’s ‘Marriage of Figaro’ Aug. 2-3
Everyone is invited to watch one of Mozart’s most popular operas, “The Marriage of Figaro,” Aug. 2-3 at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. Club member and Mozart fan Gary Hart will share his knowledge of this intriguing and amusing opera that continues to fascinate music-lovers.
The opera opens with a spritely overture that captures the tenor of the ensuing events. On Aug. 2, the opera introduces Figaro, the barber and jokester to Count Almaviva. He is discussing plans for his upcoming marriage to Susannah, yet he’s very aware of his employer’s tendency to exercise his droit du seigneur (the right to deflower the brides of his servants before their marriage).
The hijinks by a wily Figaro and his cohorts to counteract the Count, as well as his avoidance of the amorous advances of fellow servant Marcellina, along with a series of mistaken identities, steer the Count to pay more attention to his wife, the Countess of Almaviva.
When the club members reunite the following day, they will find the real identities of the players who have confounded the Count (and even Figaro himself). The opera ends on an ecstatic note that only Mozart is capable of having written. “The Marriage of Figaro” is sung in German with English subtitles.
No dues or fees are collected. For more information, contact LW Opera Club president Beverly Emus at (562) 296-5586 or beverly90740@gmail.com.

Evenson, who also won for high hand, has been a club member for three years, but this is his first overall win. The retired computer consultant also enjoys chess, pickleball and travel.
Finishing third through fifth were Barry Brideau, Debbie Barner and Roy Middlestadt. Middlestadt won second high hand, and the promotional hand was won by Donna Hernandez.
The next tournament is Aug. 7. Doors open at 11:30 a.m., and players must be seated by noon. Call Judy Jasmin at (562) 626-8179 for more information.

Hui O Hula celebrate LWer on her 90th birthday
LW’s Hawaiian dance club, Hui O Hula, helped Betty Verhoorh, of Mutual 12, celebrate her 90th birthday in style by performing for her and her adoring fans and family, many of whom traveled from Holland. The group also taught attendees some moves.
Hui O Hula offers LW residents traditional hula lessons. There are regular classes in the mirrored exercise room upstairs in Clubhouse 6 every Tuesday afternoon. Those who have been loving “Walk in, Hula Out” may continue to sway along (without studying) to live Hawaiian music from 3-5 p.m. For those who want to learn and review new and old hula, class starts at 1 p.m.
A beginning class, given by Yo Kishi, has been so well-received that it will continue on Thursday from 1:30-2 p.m. at Veterans Plaza. Regular hula dancing begins there, between the LW Library and Clubhouse 3, after basic steps have been taught.
All are welcome on both Tuesday and Thursday, regardless of skill level, without charge.
Hui O Hula dancers enjoy volunteering to share their aloha with others. For more information, call (562) 431-2242.
The lapidary classes are enjoying using the new CabKing machine. “It’s going great,” reports Dean Jacobus. “We have run almost 20 folks through the class, and they love it.”

LW Poetry
This feature showcases original poems by members of the Creative Writers Club of Leisure World and other GRF members.
Poetry 2021
Invite poetry to your neighborhood,
Be in touch with words,
Invite them in for coffee, tea, or something stronger.
Let the music of words inspire.
Open the curtains of your lives and let
The light of joy fall on the floor of your apartment.
(Let them fall, not fail)
Dance warm word-dances.
Let your heart express appreciation.
Let kind words build bridges.
Let poetry build your community.
Foster unity.
Don’t just survive . . . THRIVE!
Embrace life.
When tears come, as they will inevitably,
Drink from the well of love where life-water is stored,
Refilled by friends and soul-mates and loved ones.
—Fred Wind
Time for ‘American Bandstand’
The “Let the Good Times Roll” Doo Wop Club returns to the Clubhouse 2 stage on Aug. 21 at 6:30 p.m. with an “American Bandstand” show. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and guests should bring their own beverages and snacks to this free performance.
This Leisure World version of the classic Dick Clark TV show is sure to be fun. According to club president Frank Destra, everyone will want to get up and dance to upbeat tunes from the ’50s and ’60s!
Audience members may remember coming home from school and rushing to finish homework so they could tune in for dance hits such as “At the Hop” and “Let’s Twist Again.” These favorites and more will be performed by Ben Berg, Bev Adams, Carmen Edwards, Ellen Brannigan, Erika Greenwood, Irene Chapnick, Ken Notorleve, Lu DeSantis, Maxine Chavez, Rick Riley, Sally Glausser, Susan Kelleghan, Tosca Lies, Vinny Correnti, and Martha and Frank Destra. Jackie Hildebrant will emcee the show, which features backup dancers Josie DelPino and Karen Hensel, among others.
Backstage, things will be kept running smoothly by Alanna Eaby, Cherei Alattar, Claudio Gonzalez and Tillie Stiehr. But the club is also looking for new members/volunteers to help with technical support, including sound system, cables, microphone, and speaker set up and tear down. Anyone interested can contact Martha Destra at (562) 225-0037.
Community Karaoke
“Leavin’ on a Jet Plane” got the Wednesday-night karaoke folks swaying with the music and voice of Tony Tupas. Other lively, hopping tunes—such as “Down on the Corner” by Karen Morris, “How Sweet It Is” by Richard Yokomi, “Soul Man” by Paul Renaldi and “Mack the Knife” by Vinney Correnti—were mixed beautiful ballads and love songs. In all, there were 30 talented karaoke performers delighting to the variety of music while enjoying ice cream drumsticks on a warm evening.
Aug. 4 is pizza night for Community Karaoke. Anyone who’d like to practice a song or two should come to the Amphitheater stage on Mondays from 1-3 p.m. to join the small, casual group perfecting their selections. And everyone is welcome to the karaoke parties every Wednesday in Clubhouse 1 beginning at 5:30 p.m.

LWers win at art competition
LW resident Joan Boryta won the top award at the 45th Annual Spring Art Show, held on April 24 at the City of Cypress Community Center. Her watercolor painting “Spring Dance” was judged “Best of Show” from among 248 entries.
Alice Sioson, also a LW resident, won a “special award” and third place for her watercolor paintings.
The Cypress Art League’s juried competition had an amazing turnout, but because of the pandemic, entries were not displayed for public viewing and there were no awards ceremony.
Artwork entries can be viewed online at the Cypress Art League website: www.cypressartleague.com/galleries/cal-spring-2021-show/.

Pool Tournament
The first pool tournament in more than a year was a big success. With six beautiful, blue Brunswick tables and a completely renovated poolroom in Clubhouse 2, more people than ever before were able to compete. There were 26 people playing five rounds of eight ball, and with pizza, cookies, snacks and drinks, there was a real party atmosphere.
After drawing for partners, there were 10 teams of two players and two teams of three. If a player made a ball, his or her partner would shoot the next shot; each person had play position for his or her partner, which makes for a true team effort.
The three teams with the best record at the end of five games received cash prizes. After the first four rounds, Rufino Ramos and Ray Fredrickson were the only undefeated team. In game five, Ramos made the eight ball on a long shot, with the eight ball near the corner pocket; that clinched first place for Ramos and his partner Fredrickson.
Though Ken Reddy, Paul Snellenberger and Barry Brideau lost their first game, they came back to win their last four. Gary Monahan and Roy Mittlestead won their last three games after splitting their first two and tied for second place.
The next tournament will be on Aug. 16, starting at 6 p.m. Players should arrive a little early to put their names in before teams are drawn.

Sensational scores at Guys & Gals Tournament
The July 21 Leisure World Guys & Gals Tournament was played at the LW Turtle Lake Golf Course. Three flights of one-man-and-one-woman teams participated for best net scores, four circle holes (within a 5-foot circle) and two closest-to-the-pin challenges. Six of the rounds were well in excess of net 10 below par, with one round at net 18 under par.
A total of 38 teams of golfers participated through the early morning and into the afternoon The greens and fairways are in very good condition, but the tee boxes remain in poor shape with very low or little growth, more than a few bare spots, and numerous unrepaired divots.
At the opening 7:30 a.m. tee time, the weather was sunny, warm and windless; this continued into the early afternoon. With the reasonable weather but only fair overall course conditions, 33 of the 38 rounds were net at or below par. There were no holes-in-one this tournament.
All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap). A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-10; B Flight is 11-13; and C Flight is 14-18.
A Flight Winners: First place: Terry Thrift and May Ann Moore, a terrific 7 under 47; second: Paul Alloway and Ann Tran, a very nice 6 under 48; third: tie between John Kolthoff and Ann Walshe, Young Lee and Hae Lee, Gene Archambault and Stella Yoon, and Bob Turner and Janice Turner, a fine 5 under 49.
B Flight Winners: First place: Hyun Lee and Hi Lee, a fantastic 12 under 40; second: tie between Jae H. Lee and Sun Lee and Steve Ro and Veronica Chang, a superb 10 under 44; third: tie between Alan Sewell and Patti Smith and Won Song and Jane Song, a marvelous 9 under 45; fourth: Joon Sup Yoon and Young Yoon, a wonderful 5 under 49.
C Flight Winners: First place: Bill Zurn and Sally Park, an incredible 18 under 36 (a birdie on every hole); second: Hyon Shin and Sang An, an spectacular 14 under 40; third: Bruce Bowles and Patty Littrell, a sensational 13 under 41; fourth: Ken Notorleva and Alison Kim, a very good 8 under 46; fifth: tie between Sang Kim and Soo Kim and Bill McKusky and Joyce Basch, a first-class 6 under 48.
Closest to the pin on the par-3 eighth hole were Larry Schulman and Gee Gee Kwak. On the par-3 17th hole, Paul Alloway was closest for the men, and Hae Lee for the ladies. There were also five circle hole winners.
The group extends a special thanks to the Starters, as they are a huge help in keeping the various tournaments on time and running smoothly.
The next Guys & Gals Tournament will be on Aug. 18. If you are scheduled to play (check the Clubhouse bulletin board) but cannot, contact Alan Sewell at (541) 324-8558 or Dave LaCascia at (801) 674-5975 as soon as you know.

Men’s Golf League Results
On July16, the Willowick Golf Club in Santa Ana accommodated 13 men of the Leisure World Men’s Golf League. Willowick is a par-71, 6,000-yard course that is fairly flat, has small greens and is bordered with cleverly placed sand traps, but no water hazards. The greens were in great condition again this week, but the fairways are clumpy and have numerous wet, muddy spots. A couple of mole hills caught golf balls and significantly shortened drives. With the great playing conditions and little wind, the golfers attacked the course but generated only five at- or under-par rounds, and there were four birdies.
All scores below are net. A Flight handicap: 0-20; B Flight: over 20.
A Flight Winners: First place: Jim Goltra, 3 under 68, second: Bill McKusky, 2 under 69; third: tie between Gary Stivers, Sam Choi and Tim Looney, 1 under 70. McKusky had two birdies, and Tim Looney had 1. Stivers and Choi tied for fewest putts.
B Flight Winners: First place: Mike Looney, 1 under 70; second: Lowell Goltra, 2 over 73; third: Gene Vesely; fourth: Bob Munn. Goltra had fewest putts, and Munn and Vesely each had one birdie.
Ten Men’s League golfers competed on July 19 at the par-70, 5,800-yard Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana. It was a warm, humid, sunny morning, with temperatures in the mid-70s at 7 a.m., but later in the morning, temperatures jumped to the upper 80s with humidity to match.
Riverview has numerous elevation changes and small greens. The back nine is more than 500 yards longer than the front and plays as much as seven strokes harder since many holes are alongside or cross the Santa Ana Riverbed. There are plenty of water hazards, and sand traps are sneaky in their placement. The greens and fairways continue to be in excellent condition, making it a pleasure to compete on this course. With the great playing conditions and no wind, the golfers delivered eight rounds at or under par and nine birdies.
A Flight Winners: First place: Choi, a marvelous 10 under 60, plus fewest putts; second: tie between Dave LaCascia, Stivers, McKusky and Clay Fischer, 1 under 69. McKusky was closest to the pin on the 100-yard, par-3 ninth hole. Choi had three birdies, LaCascia and Fischer each had two, Stivers and McKusky had one apiece.
B Flight Winners: First place: Bill Zurn; an excellent 6 under 64; second: Vesely, a nice 2 under 68; third: Munn, even par 70; fourth: Mike Looney, 2 over 72. Zurn was closest to the pin on the 140-yard, par-3 second hole, and Munn had fewest putts.
Friends, ladies, spouses and family are all welcome to play and/or join. The league plays at four local courses, all within 15 minutes of Leisure World. The courses the group play are always quite full, so advance reservations with the league have become the norm, with a sign-up sheet available at each round.
There is a prize pool for each round that players are not obligated to enter. Rewards are given for low net, birdies, closest to the pin on two par-3s, and the lowest number of putts in each flight. Holes-in-one and eagles, although infrequent, are generously rewarded. If interested, contact Gary Stivers at (714) 313-3697 or LaCascia at (801) 674-5975.

Wa-Rite
Good humor has zero calories
It’s said laughter is good for the soul, and the ladies of Wa-Rite were treated with some good humor from Reta Lombardi, who gave a program titled “It’s Complicated—Such is My Life.”
Lombardi talked of the difficulties of being left-handed in a right-handed world, comparing it to being a salmon swimming upstream. Most everything is made for right-handed people, from spiral notebooks to buffet lines.
She also shared some observations of things that happen as people age. New things appear such as wings on upper arms, spider veins, wrinkles and a mustache. But things also disappear such as eyesight, hearing, teeth, hair on the head and inches from height. Lombardi’s conclusion: People’s bodies may be changing, but it’s important to love and accept oneself as is and not wait for perfection because “it ain’t gonna happen!” There are no perfect people, she said, so everyone should just be the best they can be.
Other food for thought, courtesy of the club: “You are what you eat! And if you are what you eat, why would you want to be a Twinkie or a Ding Dong?”
Leona San Severino was the week’s Top Loser, with a three-pound loss. When asked what she did differently, she said she cooked only portion-size meals to keep from overeating. She also avoids sugar and white flour and doesn’t keep junk food in the house.
Members also offered this tip: Instead of ice cream, freeze a container of yogurt for half an hour before eating.
Wa-Rite is a support group of women wanting to lose 10 pounds or more. Members meet on Fridays in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, from 9-10 a.m. Weigh-ins begin at 7:45 and close promptly at 8:45. Members must be LW residents. Dues are $5. Anyone with questions should contact Margaret Humes at (562) 296-5834.

Sunshine Club
Learn tips and tricks for better sleep
Dr. Christopher Chung from OptumCare will be the Sunshine Club’s speaker on Friday, July 30, at 10 a.m. The title of the speech is “How Sleep Affects memory.” Dr. Chung will explore the reasons why sleep gets more difficut as people age and give tips on how to get better sleep and when to seek medical care.
All shareholders are welcome to join this Zoom meeting at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84982089743?pwd=UGR3RlZRaUJmWmlSNE9KdTdNMUh3QT09. The meeting ID is 849 8208 9743, and the passcode is 508742.
Those who would like to get a Zoom link via email can text their name, Mutual address and email to (562) 301-5339 no later than today, July 29, at 5 p.m. (text only, no phone calls).
Chung is a OptumCare provider in at Leisure World. He feels it is a privilege to have the opportunity to share some medical facts and tips with shareholders. Sleep is about something all people take for granted with from time to time and can deeply affect a person’s health. It is vital for a person’s overall well-being.
Chung realized he wanted to pursue medicine when he witnessed his own family endure the amazing, yet daunting, medical system. He realized that becoming a medical doctor was his chance to help other families and patients with the most intimate and crucial aspects of their life.
Through his training at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, as well as family medicine residency and geriatric fellowship at Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, he learned to deliver patient-centered, compassionate, cost-effective medical care.

Humanist Association
First club meeting will be Aug. 1
The first Humanist meeting since reopening will be on Sunday, Aug 1, in Clubhouse 3, Room1, at 10:30 a.m.
The guest speaker will be Bruce Gleason, who will examine the future of nuclear energy and how it relates to the problem of climate change. The public perception of nuclear energy has often been a negative one because of atomic weapons and the Chernobyl disaster 35 years ago. Nuclear energy has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. With the new technology available, nuclear disasters are now virtually impossible. With the effects of climate change rapidly progressing beyond what climate scientists had predicted, nuclear power can play a crucial role in protecting our planet. Unlike coal and oil, nuclear power isn’t killing people. It doesn’t need vast areas of land and doesn’t depend on certain weather climates to work.
Gleason has been an advocate of science promoting humanism and non-belief for the past 16 years. He started the Backyard Skeptics with over 1,100 members and was the director for the Freethought Alliance conferences and the LogiCalLA science conferences. He has explored the science of the pending climate crisis and researched the energy requirements needed to deal with it.
The Leisure World Humanist Association will continue to examine philosophy and ethics, but will also address social problems on how to make life better for everyone.
Friendly couples

Democratic Club
By Mary Larson
LW contributor
The Democratic Club’s will meet at noon in Clubhouse 2 on Wednesday, Aug. 18. Members are looking forward to the prospect of gathering face-to-face for the first time in far too many months.
High on the Democratic Club’s list of priorities for discussion will be how to counter the vast amount of misinformation being fed to potential California voters in anticipation of the Sept. 14 Special Election.
Using baseless claims of voting fraud and improper registration in past elections, a California based organization is reportedly planning to recruit an “army” of 30,000 volunteers to police the polls.The Los Angeles Times editorial staff calls this prospect “extremely concerning.”
Fortunately, most Leisure World residents vote by mail. Thanks to the foresight of GRF, LWers will again have an official ballot drop-off box inside the gates.
Gov. Gavin Newsom will most likely hold on to his seat. It is not a secret that a majority of voters lean Democratic in California. However, as the Times editorial staff warns, a Newsom win “could result in more claims of massive fraud, refusal to recognize the results of the election and the beginning of an all-out assault on the elections process” in California.
Club members at the Aug. 18 meeting will also have an opportunity to discuss the ramifications of another possible recall election. It would be an attempt to oust every one of the Los Alamitos Unified School Board trustees, be they Democrat or Republican.
The School Board’s “crime,” according to some, was to unanimously support an elective ethnic studies curriculum for older students. If this second recall election does happen, Leisure World voters have the potential of being a very in-fluential force in the outcome.
In preparation for this possible second recall election, all Leisure World Democrats and supporters are urged to purchase and read the book that will be used as the primary text in the Los Alamitos School District, “A Different Mirror” by Ronald Takaki, which is available on Amazon and other online sites to purchase.
For some people, reading this book has been an eye-opener. As one reviewer writes, “The ‘mirror’ that Takaki holds up to the U.S. reflects a multicultural history of oppression and exploitation, but also struggle, solidarity and community.” After reading the book, which was written for young people, some club members chose to read Takaki’s original book on this subject matter.
In addition to addressing issues related to the Sept. 14 election during the August meeting, the Democratic Club is initiating a project to reach LW voters directly. The project will include providing accurate, up-to-date information about the attempted recall. Club members interested in participating in this effort can call (562) 412-0898 or email lwsbdemocraticclub@gmail.com. Make sure to include full contact information, including address, email and phone number.
LW Democrats and supporters can subscribe to the club’s electronic newsletter by calling (562)296-8521 or emailing democratic-clubsblw@gmail.com
Republican Club
Katherine Gerdis of the Election Integrity Project, California (EIPca), presented an opportunity for individuals to help protect and guarantee a fair election process.
“Volunteers are needed to serve as observers at voting centers,” she said, “and everyone is qualified to do it.”
Being an election observer requires 1.5-2 hours of training to learn the current laws and regulations about how the voting should be conducted, she said.
Gerdis said that volunteers can serve as many or as few hours as they choose, as well as pick the time of day and location. If enough volunteers are recruited from Leisure World, it could be possible for the classes to be held somewhere in LW.
The Election Integrity Project is a nonpartisan nonprofit 502(c)3. Those who are interested in volunteering can go to www.eip-ca.com to sign up.
Republican Club vice president Brian Harmon talked briefly at the meeting about how the pro-capitalist environment in Britain facilitated the first industrial revolution, which revolutionized the way the U.S currently lives. He talked about how the system of English common law provided for the protection of private property and the legal enforcement of contracts, which were two vital institutions required for a free economy and economic progress.
“Starting around 1725, the industrial revolution meant using machines instead of hand labor and the replacement of human power with wind, water and, eventually steam power; starting in the textile industry, first with wool and then cotton,” he said.
“Living standards for the average person prior to the industrial revolution were very low, with over 90 percent of the population living at a subsistence level,” he said, “meaning that the average person had one set of clothes and one pair of shoes and few lived beyond the age of 40. Famines frequently decimated the population, as did diseases.
“The previous 1,200 years saw little if any improvement in the human condition;” he said. “The industrial revolution made the difference.”
Harmon concluded with “Capitalism has undergone many changes for the better since that time, but it is still a system worth defending.”
Harmon holds a master’s degree in economics specializing in economic history from Long Beach State and has taught college economics for 25 years. His master’s project was a comparison of the
early development of British and American textile technology.

Religion. pages 19-20
First Christian Church
First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, most often verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors.
The Message
In 69 A.D., the apostle Peter is in a Roman prison awaiting execution because of his faith in Jesus Christ. He is compelled, even as he faces death, to stir up followers in their faith, just as Jesus did. Christ was the perfect example of love, not only to Peter, but to us also, and he “demonstrated his own love toward us in while we were still sinners, he, Christ, died for us.” (Romans 5:8).
Peter also writes in 2 Peter 1:13-14 that “Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.”
Scripture of the Week
“For you, O God, formed my inward parts: You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it very well” (Psalm139:13-14, NASB).
Services
Saturday and Sunday services have the same message delivered by Pastor Bruce Humes. Sunday is a traditional service, with hymnal music provided by Pat Kogok at the piano. Pat will aslo sing an inspirational song during the service. Sunday service is from 9:30-10:45 a.m.
Saturday services are more contemporary, with Gregory Black leading worship to guitar accompaniment. Saturday service time is 9:30-10:45 a.m.
The Friday evening prayer meeting is from 6-7.
The weekly Thursday Bible study resumes today, July 29, from11a.m.-noon. Pastor Humes will begin a verse-by-verse study of the minor profit book Obadiah. This study is open to all.
Announcements
The state of California has recently lifted COVID-19 restrictions with respect to churches. However, Leisure World is a vulnerable community, so First Christian Church asks those experiencing any Covid-19, flu or cold symptoms to stay home.
Anyone who wants to speak to someone at the church or has a need should call (562) 431-8810 and leave a message. The church location is on Northwood Road behind Carport 125.
LW Interfaith Council
Drop off donations at prayer box
Leisure World’s Interfaith Council (LWIC) is sponsoring a backpack drive for students in need. The need for school supplies has never been greater, as local students head back to classrooms after the pandemic.
Working through the Community Action Partnership of Orange County (CAPOC), the LWIC hopes to supply as many of the 5,000 students who need extra help as possible. Any donation amount will be appreciated, and every $20 collected will provide a student with a fully stocked backpack including papers, pens, notebooks and folders.
Those who would like to donate can drop off any amount to one of the Interfaith churches or in the LWIC’s locked prayer request box near the front door of Redeemer Lutheran Church,13564 St. Andrews Drive. Checks can be made out to the LWIC, which will combine all collected donations into a grand total that will later be sent to the Backpacks for Success Program at CAPOC.
LW Baptist
Pastor Rolland Coburn will open worship in prayer on Sunday, Aug. 1, at 9:45 a.m., following Sunday school at 8:30 a.m. Darlene Harris will play piano, and Yvonne Leon will lead the congregation and choir in singing. The choir’s theme this week is “Why do I Sing about Jesus?”
Coburn’s message, from Luke 13:1-17, is titled, “God’s Thoughts are Higher.” The discussion focuses on how believers need God’s word in the Bible to interpret life events. The lyrics of one of the gospel songs that will be played this week are “May the mind of Christ, my savior, live in me from day to day.”
On Monday, Aug. 2, the men meet for Bible study and fellowship at 10 a.m. Call (562) 430-2920 for details. The prayer fellowship and chapter study group will meet on Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 3 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. The group is currently reading the book of Nehemiah.
Community Church
This week, Community Church will center on John 6:24-35. This passage is between parables and basically a behind-the-scenes look at how people responded to Jesus. People are less likely to have a Galilean fisherman draw large crowds around Leisure World, but how they respond to the teachings of Jesus almost 2,000 years later is still telling of the power of Jesus’ teachiangs.
The church will review the Scripture from last week, in which Jesus fed the 5,000. The church will celebrate holy Communion, what many call the Eucharist, with an open table. All who are present are welcome to receive the elements of bread and juice.
Community Church is a place where everything is designed with the first-time participant in mind. Those who have not felt welcome in church or have never participated in church before are welcome to join.
As Orange County continues to emerge from the pandemic, the church welcomes everyone to participate virtually on Zoom and Facebook and those who are vaccinated are invited to attend in person.
The sanctuary is open for those who are vaccinated, and services are open virtually for those who either cannot join physically or are still in the midst of their vaccination routine. Full vaccination is two shots after two weeks.
The Delta variant is here in Seal Beach. Current guidance is to mask indoors regardless of vaccination status.Those who are vaccinated you are welcome to attend with a mask.
Those who missed last week’s message can find it on Facebook.
Those who are in need of assistance can call (562) 431-2503 or email leisurewccsue@yahoo.com.

Assembly of God
Since fishermen set out to sea, they have looked to the heavens to guide their boats. From simple observation, using the structure of their own hands and rudimentary instruments held up to the stars, to the most complicated satellite-assisted programs employed today, those who traverse the seas have relied upon the consistent pattern of the constellations to navigate their vessels. How does that principle apply to people seeking direction today?
