Pandemic orders lifted
by Kathy Thayer
assistant recreation manager
The California Department of Health confirmed the Governor’s order to move “Beyond the Blueprint for a Safer Economy,” effective June 15.
For Leisure World Seal Beach, which is a private community, that means all amenities may reopen without restrictions for residents and their guests:
• No capacity limitations
• No physical distancing limitation for attendees and guests
• No masks required indoors or outdoors (but are permitted, of course)
Everyone must still wear masks in the workplace, on public transit, and in medical facilities, K-12 schools, correctional facilities and shelters.
But in general, as of Tuesday, people could—if the business allows it—go into a bar and sit at a stool right next to a stranger, take in a film in a packed movie theater and eat popcorn, and sing at a full church service or cheer at a baseball game.
It is important to note that the more restrictive workplace guidance is being reconsidered on June 17 by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. Deliberations may lead to a modification of these requirements.
So GRF and Mutual directors and other residents can freely use LW conference rooms; however, GRF staff and contractors are still required to wear masks until advised otherwise.
GRF does not require proof of vaccinations to use trust property and reminds clubs that they cannot compel members to have been vaccinated.
If attendees are uncomfortable being in a space where some participants may not be vaccinated, they are free to stay home or wear masks themselves.
All of these protocols apply to all amenities and the rules and policies under normal conditions apply once again.
For more information, contact Recreation by emailing kathyt@lwsb.com.
Nearly 40 million vaccines have been administered in California, which has among the lowest case rates in the country, according to the Office of Governor. But there are still places in the state where fewer people are vaccinated, which means the virus could spread more easily through those areas.
Celebrating LW Dads
Jered Friedland, son of David Friedland of Mutual 4
The day after I was born was Father’s Day, June 19, 1977. Forty-four years later, we are still as close as peanut butter and jelly. If we don’t get in our daily phone call, I don’t quite feel myself and may even start walking funny (like I didn’t drink my V8 juice in the morning).
Over the years, I’ve given my dad more than a few gray hairs. And yet, every time I stumble, he steadies me. When I think I know better and end up with egg on my face, he never says, “I told ya so.” So here’s to a fascinating, kind, book smart, street smart, generous, hilarious, all around wonderful dad and my best friend. Happy Father’s Day, David Friedland!
Sara Forney-Doan and Rebecca Forney, daughters of Dave Forney of Mutual 2
We can say with certainty that we are blessed with the best dad to walk this earth. His care and support goes unmatched. Being the oldest of eight, our dad carries a lot of responsibility for our family-—yet he does so with grace and without complaint.
We feel so honored to have such an admirable role model to lead us through life. He is always there to provide support through both the good and tough times, while motivating us to never give up on our goals in life, no matter how crazy. Heck, he went on a storm-chasing trip this summer!
We are so proud of all he has accomplished in his life and what’s to come—because he isn’t done yet! Happy Father’s Day to the best listener, role model and friend to everyone he meets-—Dave Forney.
Reggie, Katie and Max De Leon, children of Ricardo De Leon of Mutual 3
Ricardo De Leon is a wonderful father and the strongest man we know. Our dad taught us so many of life’s most important skills—how to walk, tie shoes, ride a bike and drive a car. He was an example of how to have a loving and enduring marriage.
Our amazing parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in December, and they’re still going strong!
We feel so blessed and grateful that he’s our dad today and every day! Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
We love you.
Barbara Smith, Bev Morang and Susan Pullen, daughters of Gene Smith of Mutual 9
Our dad, Gene Smith of Mutual 9, has always been there for everyone in his family and selflessly gives to others. Whether it’s family, friends, church, cribbage club, friends of the library or the GAF tax program, he loves helping people.
First in Maine, and then in California, he was our softball coach, and all the kids loved him. He is a lifelong Dodgers fan, avid reader and enjoys challenging puzzles. He and his wife, Margaret, were childhood sweethearts, and we are so lucky to celebrate Father’s Day in Lake Arrowhead with them.
Donna Hernandez, Mutual 15
Happy Father’s Day to my husband, Santos Hernandez, a U.S. Navy veteran, who is extremely proud of his daughter, Teela Gomez, a nurse working in the time of a pandemic, and his new son-in-law, Nelson Gomez, both veterans of the U.S. Navy. Santos gave his heart and soul to his two children, Joey and Teela. His love and understanding make him a great father and the husband I dearly love.
And a special Happy Father’s Day to my dear father, a veteran of the U.S. Army. “The best one in the world” is how I described my Father in 1966 in a letter I wrote when I was 10 years old. My Father is now 90, and all this still holds true.
Betty Burrows of Mutual 14
My husband, Edward Burrows, used to say it’s easy to be a father but hard to be a dad, that is, someone who takes care of the people around him, teaches them well and fosters close relationships. Edward, who died nine years ago, grew up amid privation during World War II. He was evacuated during the bombing of London and raised by a foster family in Wales. He grew up without parents of his own, often hungry and with limited schooling. But he had the heart of a dad, doing the best he could with his two daughters and a son despite his own challenging childhood.
Rosa Harmon, daughter of Domingo Contreras of Mutual 3
My father worked as a grocery store manager for over 30 years.
He was a loyal employee and (along with my mother) taught me the value of working hard. With his hard-earned money, he bought his first home in Highland Park and began a family.
After about 10 years, we moved to a shiny new home in La Verne.
Thanks to my parents, my sister and I had an idyllic childhood.
In October 2019, my dad accompanied me to Humboldt County, where I ran the Avenue of the Giants half-marathon. He captured a photo just as I crossed the finish line.
Were it not for him, I would not have that accomplishment captured in a photograph.
Jeannie Park, Mimi Park and Lisa Park, daughters of Yoon Soo Park, Mutual 14
As far as we knew, our father never said a poetic thing in his life. He was a scientist to his core. We never talked about poems or literature or writing. We did get to read a lot of his papers about gallium arsenide and other semiconductors, though!
It’s not that he was stern, withdrawn or overly serious. He loved to sing, entertained friends constantly, and could be silly and goofy. But poetic, no!
So it was a bit of a shock when he started writing poetry five years ago at the age of 86. And even more of a surprise when it started pouring out of him so fast that he is now publishing his third book of poems.
We still don’t quite understand where it all came from, but he is living proof that you never know what life has in store for you and that you should be open to it, always.
We only wish that we had learned Korean so that we could read his poems in their original language, as we’ve heard they’re better that way. Maybe when we are 86, we’ll finally learn!
We’ve never been able to keep up with you, Dad—even at age 91, you’re light-years ahead.
Congratulations on your latest book. We are looking forward to Volume 4!
Don Frambach, Bruce Frambach, Julie Bigelow and Mary Tayal, children of Bill Frambach of Mutual 12
We love you for so many reasons. We feel so blessed to have you as our father, and we are thankful for the wonderful life you have given us. In honor of Father’s Day, we would like to celebrate you: a magnificent man, a loyal, loving husband, a devoted father, grandfather, great grandfather and a true friend. Please know that our list of gratitude is endless and continues to grow with each passing day.
Thank you for providing us with a never-ending sense of physical safety and emotional security; for stressing the importance of education; for loving and accepting us and always making us feel like we are good enough; and for showing us what it means to be a good man, a great teacher and mentor, and an outstanding father. We love you, Dad.
Pam Baker of Mutual 11
My father, Charles Wade, is the nicest and strongest man I know, with a heart of gold. He would do anything for me and my siblings.
He is very supportive and positive. His faith gives him strength. He would work all day and was still able to give us love and attention.
When we went on road trips, he would drive 10 hours and stop at a hotel, where we would swim until our fingers were pruny.
He has no temper and only shows us love and laughter.
I am so blessed to have such a wonderful role model in my life, and he is still alive, thank God. I can’t imagine life without my dad.
I love you, Dad. Happy Father’s Day to the World’s Best Dad!
Jamie Shea, daughter of David LaCascia of Mutual 4
My dad, Dave LaCascia, is a father, grandpa and all-around good guy. My earliest memories are of him protecting me, whether it be saving me from a horsefly at the age of 4, rescuing me after I took a hard fall off the swings, picking me up off the ground when I fell while using my crutches or when I was being harassed as an adult.
He’s always been there for me and my sister, no matter what trouble we teenage girls gave him (my sister gave him way more than I did, obviously). He invented the “50-pound Kid Toss” and would launch me sky-high in the pool in a dazzling display of amateur gymnastics.
He has two green thumbs and can grow just about anything (something he did not pass down to me). He has provided for us and given us opportunities that we will never forget. He is a wonderful grandfather to my two children. He is my only surviving parent, and we have a deal that he is never allowed to leave us, right, Dad?
Since he will live forever, I want to take the opportunity to say, Dad, I love you. You’re the best father a girl could ask for, and I don’t know what we would do without you. Happy Father’s Day from your favorite youngest daughter.
Rita Farnsworth and Patti Hamm, daughters of Bob Lynch of Mutual 15
Truly blessed is what we are to be the daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren (four) and great-grandchildren (11) of Bob Lynch! Dad, also known as Gigo, has always been that kind, strong, understanding and, most of all, supportive dad that we all love and admire. He was born in Brockton, Maine, on Aug. 29, 1918, and married our mom, Rosalie, in 1941.
Dad served in the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet during WWII, and then went to work for the USPS and retired in 1980 as director of customer service. Leisure World became home in 1999.
Always with a smile on his face and that positive attitude, Dad has been a role model for all of us. Never missing the birth of a grandchild or great-grandchild (no matter what time it was) shows that family means everything to him. We also always know that dad is always there to cheer us on and encourage us in whatever we are trying to achieve in our lives. Happy Father’s Day, Dad! We can’t wait to celebrate you on your 103rd birthday in August!
Terry Thrift of Mutual 7
My father, Ralph Robert “Bob” Thrift, gave me three gifts: Reading, golf and the appreciation of a well-made martini.
I adored him.
Gloria Tyler, daughter of George Hess of Mutual 5
I would like to pay tribute to my father, George Hess. He was a baker all of his life, worked very hard six days a week. He and my mother had their own bakery in Burbank in the 1950s and worked hard, making a very good living for the three of us. He loved us so much!
Timothy Kim, son of Samuel Kim of Mutual 8
Thank you for all the love and guidance you have given me year after year. Your faith and patience inspire me every day to be a better man. I feel so blessed to call you “Dad,” and I hope you always remember how much you are loved and appreciated. Daniel Kim, son of the Rev. Samuel C. Kim, Mutual 8
I can’t imagine my life or our family without my dad, or “Appa” in Korean. Only as I write this, however, do I realize that my dad has lived most of his life without a father. I wonder what my then-2-year-old dad would have done had he known that, on a cold winter day on Dec. 5, 1950, as my grandfather sent the family away without him, it would be the last time Appa would ever see his father again. My grandfather had told my uncle to lead the family across the Daedong River and wait for him by the coast, and that he would be arriving soon after securing their home and possessions. They would then find a boat in case they had to temporarily flee from the oncoming Communist invasion. After all, it would be perhaps two or three days before they would be reunited safely and go home again. And yet, somehow, two to three days has turned into 71 years.
I wonder if Appa called out for his father when he was so thirsty that he let go of his sister’s hand to search for fresh water and was swept away by the sea of fellow refugees, only to be hugged again by his by-then hysterical mother. I wonder if my dad cried out for his father as he climbed down the cliffs to wade through the Imjin River because the bridges were out, hearing the screams of strangers whose family members’ hands slipped all around them. I wonder if my dad prayed for his father as he walked down icy roads, dodging body after frozen body. And I wonder if my dad’s heart broke for his father after hearing the news from a former neighbor that my grandfather had been executed for his Christian faith.
Today I finally take time to appreciate the fact that my dad (who just turned 83 years old this week) had to learn how to become a good father on his own, guiding three sons through an often-tumultuous adolescence and adulthood in a strange, new country. And this in spite of losing his father before his teenage years, at a time when he must have needed his father the most. Thank you, Appa, and Happy Father’s Day from your son Daniel.
Cindy Gannon of Mutual 4
The mold was thrown away after my daddy, John Africa, was born in 1903 in Newark, Ohio. He was a remarkable man with many talents. I only knew my dad for 17 years, as he died at age 51, but my memories of him persist. Dad was quite funny and never met a stranger. He would pack Mother, my little brother and myself in the old 49 Ford, and off we would go for the usual Sunday outing, often to Three Rivers, California, for the “breakfast run” cooked on an open fire. I can still smell the bacon. Daddy was so organized that we just sat back and watched.
He came to Huntington Beach in 1928 and wrote a column, “The Downtown Coach” for the HB News. He was the first pro at the local golf course in the early 1930s. During World War II, he was general manager for Tex Rankin’s flying academy in Tulare, California. He was an all-around amazing man. It has been 63 years since Dad and I said goodbye. We will meet again and take the Sunday ride.
Gina Sievert, daughter of Ronald Iannessa of Mutual 1
Ronald Iannessa is a dad of four and grandfather of seven. He has been a steady rock for my family since the beginning. We are thrilled to celebrate him this year through this LW platform!
Our dad is a lover of his family, classical music, relaxing with his cat, meditation and enjoying a good barbecue with his family. He has strong faith and lives a life of gratitude and kindness to all.
Happy Father’s Day, Pops! We love you to the moon and back!!
Toni DeBenedictis, Cris DeBenedictis-Blum, Lani DeBenedictis and Leslie Miyahata, daughters of Tony DeBenedictis of Mutual 7
Happy Fathers’ Day to Tony DeBenedictis! Thank your for being such an inspirational, wise and loving man, husband and father (and so handsome)!
We love you!
Conserving Water can save on assessments
California is now facing its most serious drought since the mid-2010s. The California drought, part of the most expansive western U.S. drought this century, is locked in place for awhile.
According to the May 25 Drought Monitor analysis, the entire state of California is in drought, and 26 percent of the state is in “exceptional drought,” the highest category.
The last exceptional drought in California was January 2017, on the tail end of a multiyear drought. It was considered the worst in parts of the state in 450 years.
In view of the fact that the next widespread rain and mountain snow is months away, water conservation is an important commitment for all Leisure World residents.
Not only is it environmentally significant, it will help keep assessments as low as possible. Residents can reduce water consumption by 20-40 percent without purchasing expensive equipment. Reducing water use can mean substantial savings on water, sewage, and energy bills. The following suggestions will help you get in the habit of saving water. Here is how you can help:
Kitchen/Laundry Aid
Large appliances—washing machines and dishwashers—consume the most water, so they are important places to start any water-conservation efforts.
• Set the water level on your washing machine to match the size of your load. Try to avoid doing frequent small loads; whenever possible, run the machine only when you have a full load.
• You do not need to rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. No, really, hand rinsing dishes under the faucet uses 15-18 gallons of water per load. If your dishwasher has a pre-rinse cycle, try using it instead of hand rinsing. If a dish or two isn’t completely clean after the dishwasher cycle, finish the job by hand.
• Like the washing machine, only run the dishwasher when it’s full. If you have only a few dishes, wash them by hand in a sink or basin—not under a running faucet. Use a second basin or dishpan for rinsing, or spray rinse all the soapy dishes at once.
Conserving in the Bath
After these major appliances, the bathroom offers the next biggest opportunity to save water.
• Make sure your toilets are all working efficiently. According to the American Water Works Association, the average American home loses 14 percent of all water used to leaks. Remember, the toilet is not a waste basket. If you think you have a problem, call your Mutual director.
• Keep your showers as brief as possible, or turn the water off while shaving or scrubbing in the stall.
• If you have a bathtub, when taking a bath, close the drain while the water warms up then adjust the temperature. Monitor the tub as it fills and turn the water off at the half-way mark.
• Turn off tap water while brushing your teeth.
Running Hot and Cold
• There is nothing as refreshing as a cold drink of water, but don’t let the faucet run to get it. Chill a container of water in the refrigerator instead.
• Avoid running hot tap water over frozen food to defrost it; put it in the refrigerator the night before.
• Rethink any tasks you usually perform under running water—like washing vegetables or brushing your teeth. (A gallon of water a minute flows through a tap that is only half-open.) Use a dishpan or bowl of water instead of letting the tap run. Then pour the water from the bowl on your house plants.
Outdoors
• Use a broom before you get the garden hose out to wash off the patio or sidewalk. If you notice sprinkler problems, alert your Mutual director. Use the car wash located at Clubhouse 2 instead of the hose to wash your car; water is recycled at the LW car wash.
• Do not water Mutual lawns yourself. If you notice a problem with the irrigation system, contact your Mutual director or contact Kevin Black at (562) 431-6586, ext. 359.
405 Freeway Update
The Orange County Transportation Authority, in cooperation with Caltrans, is widening the San Diego Freeway (I-405) between SR-73 and I-605. Construction updates are as follows:
Sidewalk Closures on
SB Boulevard
Crews will close the sidewalks at the intersection of Seal Beach Boulevard and Lampson Avenue for permanent traffic signal construction. Activities include the removal of existing sidewalk ramps, installation of new sidewalk ramps and electrical and foundation work.
Permanent traffic signal construction began June 1 and will continue for approximately six weeks on weekdays.
Daytime work hours are 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Seal Beach Boulevard and Lampson will be intermittently reduced to two lanes at the intersection for the duration of the work.
Nighttime temporary traffic signal removal and permanent pole installation are anticipated in early July.
Sign up for project-wide and bridge-specific construction alerts at bit.ly/405-signup.
Bolsa Avenue Traffic Switch
Crews are scheduled to switch traffic to the new portion of the Bolsa Avenue bridge. This work is in anticipation of the upcoming demolition of the old portion of the Bolsa bridge, and will require a full closure of Bolsa between Goldenwest Street and Chestnut Street. Activities include asphalt removal, excavation, pavement work, and striping and K-rail modifications.
The Bolsa closure is scheduled for 10 p.m., Friday, June 18, to 5 a.m., Monday, June 21.
Bolsa Avenue Full Closure
Crews will close the northbound I-405 loop off-ramp to Bolsa for about three months as early as Friday, June 18, to accommodate the freeway widening.
Activities include removal of the existing ramp, excavation, placement and compaction of base material, rebar and concrete work, paving, drainage installation, electrical work and striping.
The 405 Community Outreach Team will provide detailed schedule information in future alerts.
SR-22 On-Ramp from Old Ranch Parkway Closed
The Old Ranch Parkway on-ramp to the westbound SR-22 closed April 13 for eight months to accommodate freeway widening. Activities include demolition, excavation, grading, drainage and electrical system installation, concrete pours and asphalt paving. Work hours are from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Crews may mobilize equipment as early as 6 a.m. Nighttime work hours are 9 p.m.-6 a.m.
NB I-405, SR-73 Off-Ramps to Fairview Road Closed
Crews closed the northbound I-405 and SR-73 off-ramps to Fairview on April 5 for approximately 100 days to accommodate the freeway widening.
SB I-405 Off-Ramp to Bolsa Chica Road Closed
Crews closed the southbound I-405 off-ramp to Bolsa Chica on Oct. 27 for approximately one year to advance construction on the Bolsa Chica bridge.
Almond Avenue Update
Demolition and reconstruction of the sound walls along Almond Avenue in College Park East are anticipated to start soon. Crews will install a temporary sound barrier prior to demolition.
Bolsa Chica Road
Continuation of pile driving for the Bolsa Chica bridge over I-405 along the center median and southbound I-405 at Bolsa Chica bridge. The work is ongoing 7 a.m.-4 p.m. on weekdays for approximately two months.
This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.
DMV handbooks, tests are available at LW Library
Is your driver’s license renewal test coming up? Save yourself a trip to the DMV and come by the Leisure World Library to pick up a 2021 Driver’s Handbook to study up before your test. The handbook is yours to keep.
The library also have a selection of printed practice tests to help you know what to expect when you take your test. It can also provide you with a great online resource to take practice tests online.
The library is open Monday through Saturday, from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and ask a staff member for a copy. The library is located between clubhouses 3 and 4 near the North Gate entrance.
North Gate Road set to open June 25
North Gate Road is expected to reopen by Friday, June 25, as the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has finished utility construction related to the I-405 Improvement Project.
Crews anticipate returning to demolish and reconstruct the sound wall next to North Gate Road within the next year, according to Megan Abba, OCTA communications specialist.
OCTA built the existing sound wall on the north edge of Leisure World bordering the 405/22 freeways in 1999 for $2 million.
The I-405 Improvement Project team will update the community when construction of the new soundwall is scheduled.
North Gate Road has been closed since April 2020, when crews began building a sewer line underneath the 405 freeway. Unforeseen soil conditions halted the job in December and forced a project redesign.
The freeway sewer crossing is now complete.
The road provides the only access to LW’s North Gate and has been the site of several large construction projects, including a pipeline replacement completed by SoCalGas.
The $1.9 billion I-405 Improvement Project is adding one regular lane in each direction between Euclid Street and I-605, and a second lane in each direction in the center of the freeway from SR-73 to I-605 that will combine with the existing carpool lanes to form the 405 Express Lanes.
This segment of I-405 is one of the most heavily traveled stretches of highway in the nation, and drivers routinely face severe congestion in both the regular lanes and carpool lanes.
The project is critical to accommodate expected employment, population and housing growth throughout the region.
Letters to the Editor
Editor:
Recently, a turquoise canvas wagon was stolen from our carport.
We were disappointed and a little shocked.
We didn’t expect that anyone in Leisure World would intentionally take something that didn’t belong to them.
It just happened to be a gift from our grandchildren when we first arrived four years ago in LW. They had great fun riding to the Dollar Store, the bank and library when they came to visit. If you happen to read this and know of the whereabouts of said wagon, please encourage whoever has possession to return it to the carport for 3K, no questions asked. And by the way, you are welcome to keep the bag of potting soil inside.

I just had to write to you about Nelson Plumbing and its excellent crew of plumbers that changed all the piping, hot water tanks and shower fixtures in Mutual 6, Building 61.
My opinion, based on 35 years selling pipe valves and fittings, and before that, working with my dad in construction, is that this was the finest crew I’ve ever seen.
They came in, introduced themselves and went right to work.
No chitchat among themselves, no slacking and very polite. I truly could not believe how they worked like a fine military unit. When the job was done, they came in with brooms, a vacuum cleaner and rags and cleaned up everything. Also, I counted at least four assorted nationalities, and they got along like a band of brothers.

In August (with any good luck), I will celebrate my 90th birthday.
In all those years, I have suffered theft a mere five times. Noteworthy, however, is that four of those times have been here in Leisure World.
This time, it was a ladder. It’s a sad commentary.
I (perhaps, we) would appear to be an easy mark.
I think I need a comfort dog—a big one with a commanding presence.

Hui O Hula
Dancers, musicians to celebrate Hula Week
Hui O Hula recently celebrated Lavon DeMott’s 90th birthday with her. She has lived in LW for 25 years and says her hobbies, including genealogy, keep her young at heart—and looking beautiful. DeMott is well taken care of by her loving sons, Marlon and Wally.
Dancers who enjoy bringing the hula to the homebound, outside or inside the gate, are ready to kick off Luau Week at Stanton’s Rowntree Gardens Assisted Living and Healthcare Center with a 60-minute program on June 21 at 1:30 p.m.
The club offers a mahalo to Mutual 16’s Board of Directors for the invitation to its annual picnic on June 26. There, Hui musician Fortunato Revilla will entertain with hula dancers. And on June 28 at 1 p.m., hula dancers will perform on the green by Building 165 in Mutual 7. All are invited but will need to bring their own chairs.
Hui O Hula offers Hawaiian dance lessons every Tuesday upstairs in Clubhouse 6. At 1 p.m., basic hula steps are taught for 30 minutes or so. Afterward, the house band, led by Larry Yamashiro, will begin playing Hawaiian hula favorites, and all are welcome to “Walk In, Hula Out.” There will not be much teaching during this session because it is intended for the dancers who just want to enjoy the hula by following class leaders.
For more studious dancers, hula lessons will begin after 3 p.m., when new subjects will be introduced and old favorites reviewed.
All dancers, including newcomers, are welcome.
Call (562) 431-2242 for class and performance information.
Men’s Golf League
On June 7, the Men’s Golf League played at the David L. Baker Golf Club in Fountain Valley. Eleven men, one woman and a guest teed off into a beautiful morning that became a spectacular day to play golf. Baker is a par-62, 4,000-yard executive golf course that is fairly flat, but with diabolical sand traps and strategically placed water hazards. The greens and fairways were in excellent condition, and with the wonderful course conditions and little wind, 12 of the 13 rounds were under par, and the golfers produced 10 birdies—a new record for the league.
All scores are net (actual score minus handicap). A Flight handicaps range from 0-20; B flight is higher than 20.
A Flight Winners: First place: Larry Hillhouse, a spectacular 10 under 54; second: Fujio Norihiro, a terrific 7 under 57; third: Sam Choi, a nice 6 under 58; fourth: Bill McKusky, 5 under 59; fifth: tie between Clay Fischer and Jim Goltra, 3 under 61; sixth: Dave LaCascia, 2 under 62; seventh: Gary Stivers, 1 over 65. Norihiro had three birdies, while Hillhouse, Goltra, Choi, LaCascia, Fischer and guest Brian had one each. McKusky had the fewest putts. Norihiro was closest to the pin on both the 110-yard, par-3 third hole and 120-yard 12th hole.
B Flight Winners: First place: Marv Ballard, a remarkable 14 under 50; second: Bob Munn, a sensational 11 under 53; third: Bill Zurn, a notable 9 under 55; fourth: Liz Meripol, a fantastic 8 under 56. Ballard had fewest putts, and Munn had a birdie.
On June 11, the Riverview Golf Club in Santa Ana hosted 11 men and one woman of the league. Riverview is a par-70, 5,800-yard course with fairways that parallel the Santa Ana River, tricky elevation changes, deliberately placed sand traps and challenging water hazards. The greens and fairways were in good condition, and at tee time, the day was sunny with no wind. Eight of the 12 rounds were under par or slightly over par, and the golfers produced four birdies.
A Flight Winners: First place: Goltra, a terrific 8 under 62; second: Fischer, a very nice 6 under 64; third: Stivers, 2 under 68; fourth: Hillhouse, even par 70; fifth: Choi, 1 over 71; sixth: tie between LaCascia, Norihiro and McKusky, 3 over 73. Goltra, Stivers and Fischer had birdies, and Goltra had the fewest putts. LaCascia was closest to the pin on the 100-yard (all over water), par-3 ninth hole, while Goltra was closest on the 140-yard, par-3 second hole.
B Flight Winners: First place: tie between Liz Meripol and Tom Ross, 3 under 67; second: Munn, even par 70; third: Ballard. Munn also had fewest putts and a birdie.
LW Men’s Club membership is not required, and friends, ladies, spouses and family are all welcome to play and/or join. There is a prize pool for each round that players are not obligated to enter.

“Margaritaville” was a good choice for Margie Stewart, and everyone liked Julie Nulad’s “Bye Bye Love.” Erica Greenwood sang a good version of “Crazy,” as did Tony Tupas with “Stand by Me.” And newcomer Duane Owens performed “Girl Crush.”
Casual practice sessions for those looking to perfect their songs are open on Mondays from 1-3 p.m. inside the Amphitheater stage (enter through in the back door).
Welcome Back, Creative Writers
COVID’s in the rearview mirror,
The shots are in your arm . . .
We’ll meet again as literati
And will not come to harm!
It’s been a year and a half or so
Since we’ve heard our fellow writer . . .
We long to share our written gems,
And now the future’s brighter!
Returning veterans, new recruits,
We’re very eager to see ‘em . . .

Men’s Golf Club
The most recent Leisure World Men’s Golf Club Tournament was played on June 9. Three flights of variously skilled golfers vied for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), plus four circle holes (shots within a 5-foot circle rewarded) and two closest-to-the-pin challenges. A total of 51 golfers teed off and played 18 holes through the early morning and into the afternoon. The weather was initially partly cloudy, but the sun came out with a vengeance by 8:30 a.m.
The early morning front nine rounds were met with damp, “slow” greens and wet fairways. As has been the case, during the back nine, the greens become much drier and quicker, plus the late wind began to really play a role in trying to hold the harder greens.
The tee boxes are slowly improving from their “dormant” period, and the greens are still bumpy from their aeration many weeks back. These conditions certainly led to only 21 of 51 rounds being under par.
A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-7; B Flight is handicaps of 8-12; and C Flight is handicaps of 13-18. All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap).
A Flight Winners: First place: tie between John Kolthoff and Dong Kim, 2 under 52; second: Steve Walker, 1 under 53; third: Seung Lee, even par 54; fourth: Bill Long, 1 over 55; fifth: Steve Ro, 2 over 56.
B Flight Winners: First place: Jae H. Lee, a terrific 7 under 47; second: Gary Stivers, very nice 6 under 48; third: Ryan Hong, 4 under 50; fourth: Kap Son, 3 under 51; fifth: Daniel Do, 2 under 52; sixth: tie between Paul Alloway and Trai Nguyen, even par 54.
C Flight Winners: First place: Dave Winn, a well-played 6 under 48; second: Bill Zurn, 3 under 51; third: tie between Dennis Jensen, Sang H. Kim and Mike Carlson, 2 under 52; fourth: tie between Roger Bennett, Ben Benjamins and Manny Miranda, 1 under 53; fifth: Marvin Jones, 1 over 55; sixth: Chang Choi, 2 over 56;
Closest to the pin on the 85-yard, par-3 eighth hole was John Kolthoff at 6 feet, 6 inches, and on the par-3 17th hole, it was Jun Um at 5 feet,11 inches. There were also six circle hole winners.
The next Men’s Tournament will be on June 23, and the next Guys and Gals Tournament will be on June 30. If you are signed up to play a tournament but cannot, contact Alan Sewell (541) 324-8558 or Dave LaCascia (801) 674-5975 as soon as possible.
The Men’s Club is sponsoring a picnic after the Guys and Gals Tournament on June 30 at approximately 2 p.m. at the Clubhouse 1 picnic area. Sign up during the Men’s or Ladies Tournaments each Tuesday and Wednesday; the last day to sign up will be June 28. Initially, there was to be no charge, but investigations into cost for upward of 80 people revealed it would be outside the club budget. So there will be a $5 charge, and the club is looking into catering or providing the typical summer fare (hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, beer, wine and water). The picnic is open to Men’s and Ladies Club members, plus spouses and significant others.

Ballet Fitness relaxes, invigorates
Every Saturday at 1:30 p.m., instructor Milton “Mel” Lockett happily leads an hour of simple ballet to anyone who is interested in a fully equipped dance room upstairs in Clubhouse 6. Dancers leave reportedly feeling both relaxed and invigorated.
Barre none, ballet dancing is among the best ways to achieve good posture, a strong core, balance and grace. Lockett warms up the class with port de bras, an exercise designed to develop graceful movement and disposition of the arms, then moves to such classic barre exercises as plies/bends, tendu/stretch, rond de jambe/round of the leg, etc. After the barre, Lockett and dancers continue the exercises in the center. At the end of the class, dancers thank Lockett and their fellow dancers with bows and curtsies. All routines are accompanied by classical ballet music.
There is no dress code. If one feels uncomfortable wearing tights or leotards, a comfortable T-shirt and sweatpants will do. Ballet slippers are typically made of either canvas or leather. The dance floor upstairs in Clubhouse 6 is smooth, so beginners may bring socks or soft booties or even dance barefoot in their first classes. For more class information, call (562) 252-9676 or email Jojo@JojoJoe.com.

Panhellenic
The first Panhellenic card party of 2021 will be at 1 p.m. on July 2 in Clubhouse 1. This new meeting place gives the group a lot more space.

Since this is the first time Panhellenic has gathered in more than 16 months, bridge players may feel a little rusty. Everyone is welcome to change partners or stay with the previous group. This is a good time for anyone who is learning to join. Those who want to play canasta or other card game are invited to do that as well.

Don’t throw out those masks yet
by Patty Marsters
pattym@lwsb.com
Though Gov. Gavin Newsom lifted the statewide mask mandate on June 15, don’t trash those masks yet. There are still a few places where face coverings are required.
California is now following broader CDC guidance, released last month, on mask wearing. Fully vaccinated people—those who received the Johnson & Johnson shot or their second shot of the Pfizer or Modena vaccine two or more weeks prior—can forgo masks while outdoors, as well as while indoors grocery shopping, exercising at the gym, at a restaurant or bar, watching a movie, or going to church.
It remains recommended that unvaccinated people only take off their masks in public when they’re outside and can maintain 6 feet of distance from others. In pretty much every other scenario, however, it’s safest to wear a face covering.
There are just a few places where vaccinated people will still need to wear masks, including in health care settings (such as doctors’ offices and hospitals), prisons, homeless shelters and during travel (i.e., while on planes, buses and trains and their respective hubs).
And the state requires organizers of indoor events with more than 5,000 people to verify that attendees are either vaccinated or have recently tested negative. The same is recommended for outdoor events with more than 10,000 people, though organizers have the option of allowing unvaccinated and/or untested attendees if they wear masks.
Though the GRF has does not require masks or proof of vaccination, outside businesses may do so.
Workplace guidance has not yet been released, but GRF staff and contractors are expected to continue wearing masks and social distancing until further notice. GRF offices will also remain closed to the public for the time being.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people who have been vaccinated can still contract COVID-19. The agency reports that out of the 135 million Americans who were fully vaccinated as of June 1, 2,274 were either hospitalized or died because of COVID-19. That means it’s very unlikely a vaccinated person will get very sick. Studies are still in progress over whether a fully vaccinated person who does get the virus can then spread it to those younger than 12 who are currently ineligible for vaccination.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children ages 2-11 or 12-18 who are unvaccinated continue to wear a mask when out in public or around anyone who may have been exposed to COVID-19. Those who live with younger children or the immuno-compromised should also consider wearing face coverings while in public.
So don’t throw out those masks just yet. And assess the risks to you and others when you go out.
Wa-Rite
All members are welcome to the Wa-Rite meeting on June 25 in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins start at 8 a.m. and end around 8:45, then the meeting will begin at 9.
“We are granting amnesty for Goal Members for three months from first weigh-in,” said club president Carol Chambers. “It’s time to get inspired for our health.”
There will be no COVID-related restrictions regarding mask-wearing, vaccines or social distancing. Those who feel uncomfortable should consider not attending.
Coffee and water will not be provided, so members are encouraged to bring their own beverages in spill-proof containers.

The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) is searching for someone who would be interested in charing of the Mobility Aids program. This is one of GAF’s longest running programs, and it has been beneficial to the community.
People should apply for the position if they enjoy helping others when they need it most. The job includes record-keeping for the wheelchairs and walkers, along with training new volunteers and leading a team. The Mobility Aids program has an office in Clubhouse 6, where it keeps inventory that the Mobility Aids chairperson will be in charge of maintaining.
The new chair would be on the GAF’s Board of Directors and attend its monthly meeting, which usually lasts around two hours. Along with the other program chairs, a monthly report is also prepared. If more than one person is interested, there is the possibility for this position to be co-chaired.
The GAF would like to thank the current Mobility Aids Chair, John Hlavac, for his dedication and commitment to the program. He will be leaving by the end of the year and is willing to train his replacement.
For more information or to meet to discuss the position, call Anna Derby at (562) 301-5339.

The club’s first in-person meeting is a success
The Paws, Claws and Beaks Club came together for the first time since the pandemic with a picnic for all LW pet owners.
Over 40 people and their pets gathered outside on a beautiful day with lots of food and a chance to meet other pet owners. The dogs and birds that were brought to the picnic all got along as well.
Kathy Almeida and Eloy Gomez, along with the Leisure World Emergency Information Council Subcommittee, gave a short presentation at the picnic on the importance of emergency preparedness in LW and how the club could be involved.

New procedures for the Mobility Aids Program in place
The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) Mobility Aids loans wheelchairs, transporters and walkers to Leisure World shareholders and other eligible residents. The service is free of charge and run entirely by GAF volunteers. The program implemented two procedural changes on May 10.
The first change involved how long a mobility aid device will be loaned out.
In the past, the program would loan mobility aids for an indefinite period of time. The process has the cost the GAF thousands in replacement and repairs, as well as caused a shortage of mobility aids. To help rein in costs and ensure an adequate supply, the GAF will loan mobility aids for six months at a time. If someone anticipates needing a mobility aid for a longer period of time, GAF recommends getting a prescription from his or her primary care provider to help cover the expense.
Volunteers will be available at the Mobility Aids Office Monday-Friday from 12:30-2:30 p.m. The office is located in Clubouse 6, on the first floor, west end. A request form, which is available at the Mobility Aids Office, should be completed to secure a device. Shareholders who are physically unable to get to the office can authorize a family member, close friend or caregiver to complete the form. GAF will have a modified rental agreement to pick up items and modified assets disposition form to be signed before receiving the device.
If something happens outside of the Mobility Aids service office hours, call GRF Security at (562) 594-4754 for help. GAF asks those who borrow aids to return them during regular office hours.
Those who are interested in volunteering for the Mobility Aids service should leave a message at (562) 431-9589.

recreation department
Next car lot is on June 19
The pandemic forced the cancellation of the monthly self-managed car sales near Clubhouse 6, but relaxed restrictions will allow GRF to begin offering trust property for this purpose beginning this month.
The car sale lot is held on the fourth Saturday of the month in the Administration parking lot from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. LW residents can sell any used motorized vehicle as long as it is insured and has a current DMV registration and GRF decal.v
In addition to cars, motorhomes, motorcycles, golf carts, bikes, trikes and scooters may be sold. The owner or representative does not need to be present but is allowed to display a single “for sale” sign no larger than 18-by-24 inches on the vehicle. The sign must include a phone number.
The sale is open to Leisure World residents and the guests they call in. The public will not be able to sell at the events. For more information, contact Recreation at (562) 431-6586, ext. 398.
Cindy Gannon (center) and Keith Kelsay (not pictured) hosted friends Dan and Robin De Lozier from Scottsdale, Arizona. Cindy had not seen in her friends in 44 years. Christmas cards kept them in close contact throughout the years apart. The group enjoyed a picnic lunch, memories and nonstop laughter throughout Dan and Robin’s visit.
Republican Club
After reunion picnic, club focuses on upcoming recall election
by Brian Harmon
LW contributor
A crowd of more than 70 Republicans gathered for a picnic on June 11 outside Clubhouse 1 to celebrate their first opportunity to meet together in over a year.
Republican Club President David Harlow opened the festivities by thanking the volunteers for their countless hours of service.
Club Treasurer Elsa Gildner, while passing out hotdogs at the serving table, said she was delighted to see so many old and new friends, especially on such a perfect sunny but comfortably cool day.
“I really appreciate that so many people took the time to celebrate with us,” she said.
Gildner supervised the selling of campaign merchandise over the past year, raising over $8,000 for the club in purchases and donations.
Braden Ellis was the scheduled speaker at the June 15 meeting. Ellis is the student featured in a widely seen video showing a discussion with a Cypress College professor. Ellis said that he looked at the police as heroes, but some individual officers commit crimes, for which they should be punished.
In the video, the professor repeatedly interrupted Ellis. Each time, Ellis stopped, and then respectfully responded. When Ellis asked her who she would call if a gun-wielding intruder were in her house, she responded that she would not call anyone because she does not trust the police.
The other speaker, Detective Jon Ainley of the Seal Beach Police Department, was not able to attend due to a last-minute emergency. He will hopefully be rescheduled to speak in August.
The Election Integrity Project will be featured at the next meeting on July 21 in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, at 7 p.m.
A special Republican Club meeting will be held for members only to discuss the recall and midterm election strategy on Tuesday, June 22, at 11:15 a.m.
The voter registration and Republican Club information booth will be open July 7, from 11 a.m-2 p.m. outside Clubhouse 6. Merchandise will also be on sale.
The Republican Club does not charge membership dues or impose any other financial obligation on members. The club raises money primarily through donations and selling political campaign merchandise during election season. Club funds are used to support endorsed candidates, pay for speakers at club meetings and cover miscellaneous expenses.
Anyone who wants be added to the club membership roster or receive more information can send an email to dharlow50@aol.com or call (714) 928-1950.
Members will also be sent by email an agenda and minutes for each meeting and other information deemed necessary and/or appropriate by the president.
Club members are encouraged to send in their opinions on public issues or ideas about what the club should be doing. To do so, call or text (714) 928-1950. If sending a text, write “GOP club” on the first line. Those who do not want their name, ideas or opinions to be made public should so indicate.
Democratic Club
Visit the club booth every Tuesday at CH6
by Mary Larson
LW contributor
Plans are still underway to resume the Democratic Club membership meetings on Aug 18. The club’s leadership continues to discuss the decision to hold this meeting face-to-face or continue to hold meetings via Zoom. The club leadership hopes the decision will be resolved in the coming weeks.
The club’s leadership is mainly concerned about the conflicting advice from various government agencies and political leaders. Even though California’s overall guidance will align with that of the federal CDC, the “overriding or primary guidance” for workplaces in California will continue to be whatever standards the Cal-Occupational Safety and Health Standards (Cal-OSHA) board finalizes.
As of the date of this report, Cal-OSHA regulations will continue to require that unvaccinated people must wear masks in indoor public settings and businesses. The Democratic Club membership meetings are neither public settings nor businesses. Nevertheless, given the number of members who normally attend the club’s meetings, such gatherings could easily fall under a category very similar to that of a public setting.
Democratic Club leaders want to ensure that everyone who attends membership meetings feels safe and welcome in doing so. They do not want an individual’s choice as to whether or not to “mask up” to become the latest controversy in this politically charged and emotionally draining pandemic.
Club members are invited to share their thoughts about the criteria for deciding whether or not, as well as when, to begin, in- person meetings by calling (562) 296-8521 or emailing democraticclubsblw@gmail.com.
The club’s leadership is also closely monitoring what is happening in Sacramento. The deadline for legislation to make it out of the house where it originated was June 4. This meant bills by state senators had to get approved by the Senate while bills by Assembly members had to get the green light from the Assembly. These bills now all face committee hearings and floor votes in the other chamber. This has to be done before the Oct. 10 deadline for Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign approved legislation into law.
The 12 state lawmakers who represent portions of Orange County wrote 81 bills that advanced through this critical deadline. Twelve of these bills came from the 34th District senator, Democrat Tom Umberg, and one came from the 72nd Assembly District representative, Republican Janet Ngyuen. Umberg already had a bill signed into law that requires that ballots be mailed to all voters for any elections that take place through the end of this year.
More information about these bills will be included in future Democratic Club articles in the LW Weekly.
Club members are reminded that the club’s voter service center booth outside Clubhouse 6 is open every Tuesday from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Voter registration forms, membership applications, club newsletters, brochures and other resource material are available at the booth.
Club members who had not yet renewed their membership for 2021 recently received a letter from the Membership Committee requesting that they do so. To check renewal status, call (562) 431-7275.
CERT Classes to Resume
A new cycle of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) classes has been scheduled to start Wednesday, July 7, in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, from 8 a.m.-noon.
This will include a session taught in Korean. Interested residents are asked to sign up now by calling Sonji Friedman at (562) 243-1894 and leave their names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.
The course will be held one day a week for five weeks. CERT provides each trainee with a backpack containing a helmet, goggles, gloves, a hammer tool, tourniquets and other life-saving equipment.
The CERT training is limited to the first 25 people registered. The next series will be held in October. A Korean translation of this information follows.
KACMA
The Korean American Classical Music Academy is very happy to announce the reopening of its regular club meetings starting Thursday, July 8, at 9:30 a.m. The meetings will be held in Clubhouse 2, instead of its original location in Clubhouse 4.
Keep animals safe in hot weather
As the summer months rapidly approach, its important to remember about the dangers of leaving a pet in a hot car. A parked vehicle can become deadly to a pet, and it is against the law.
Most people know that leaving their pet inside a parked vehicle on a hot, summer day could be dangerous after an extended period of time. But people don’t realize that the temperature in a car can skyrocket after just a few minutes. Parking in the shade or leaving the windows cracked does little to alleviate this pressure cooker.
Windows collect light and trap heat inside the vehicle, pushing the temperature inside to dangerous levels. On an 85-degree Fahrenheit day the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees in 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. At 110 degrees, pets are in danger of heatstroke.
Pets, more so than humans, are susceptible to overheating by being less efficient at cooling themselves than people are. Pet owners should sure that they are going to dog-friendly places that will allow pets inside so they don’t have to worry about leaving their dog in the hot car. It’s always safer for a dog to not be left in the car, and it will give pet owners a peace of mind knowing that their beloved friend won’t suffer from heatstroke or other heat-related illnesses over the summer.

Shredding service date changed to Tuesday, July 13
The next Golden Age Foundation (GAF) shredding service event will be on on Tuesday, July 13, in the Clubhouse 2 parking lot from 10 a.m.-noon.
This event will once again be drop-and-go only, with no waiting in line. The GAF is asking people to observe social distancing and to consider wearing a face mask when they drop off their shredding materials.
The GAF would like to remind LWers of the following rules for the shredding service:
• Shareholders are asked to drop off their shredding materials and leave.
• Materials should be dropped off in a plastic or brown paper bag, cardboard boxes will not be accepted.
• Lines will not be allowed to form, and there will be no chairs for people to sit and wait for their documents to be shredded.
• GAF volunteers will guard bags until the shredding truck arrives to shred on-site.
• Remove staples and paper clips from all documents.
• No electronic devices will be accepted.
• Contaminated bags will be turned away.
The GAF is an independent nonprofit, 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to serving the residents of Leisure World Seal Beach. Its purpose is to make the community a better place to live. The GAF was established in 1973 and is not affiliated with the Golden Rain Foundation.
GAF programs are provided free to Leisure World shareholders. It is entirely staffed by volunteers, so all contributions go directly to meeting community needs. The generous support of shareholders, residents, clubs organizations and businesses is the GAF’s main source of income. The programs and projects are made possible by the volunteer efforts of so many LWers.
Donations are welcome.
For more information, contact Anna Derby at (562) 301-5339.

Joseph Kaspar
1920-2020
Joseph (Joe) Kaspar was born June 18, 1920, and passed on Dec. 20, 2020.
Joe was a loving son, father, brother and grandfather. He was born to Charles and Margaret Kaspar, one of six children. He loved nothing more than a beautiful song, a corny joke and spending time with the people he loved.
He was a proud soldier who served bravely in WWII, including 48 missions in his B-26 medium–sized bomber, supporting the ground troops fighting the Germans. He was awarded the French Medal of Honor for his outstanding service. He returned stateside and was married. His son, Robin, was his pride and joy and was at Joe’s side when he passed away.
Joe was happy as a resident of Leisure World in Mutual 8. He loved the music, square dancing, golf and all of the wonderful friendships he embraced. It was not an easy decision to leave Leisure World, but he wanted to be near his beloved son and grandson.
Joe spent his final years in the Rifle Colorado Veterans Home, where he sang and joked his way into the hearts of the employees and residents. He was visited often by family and friends and was loved by all who knew him. He is survived by son Robin, grandson Derek; his brother Jim and Jim’s wife, Peggy of Leisure World; brother Frank of Corona Del Mar; and too many nieces and nephews to count. We all know that heaven has gained a talented new singer, wonderful joke teller, and kind and loving new angel. We will all miss him and know that he is watching over all of us.
Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, June 19, at 10 a.m. at Holy Family Catholic Church in Leisure World.

Members will hear a special message this week that will honor and inspire each father. All fathers in attendance will receive a special gift as well.

Out of an abundance of caution, all who attend services or events at Faith Christian Assembly will have their temperatures taken at the door, be required to wear a mask before and after service, and sit socially distant from others. Those who are ill should remain at home.
Midweek Bible Study is taught by Pastor Sheri Leming every Wednesday at 11a.m., and Grief Share’s weeky meetings are on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m.

Leisure World Korean Community Church
On June 6, LW Korean Community Church (LWKCC) with the Rev. Dr. Jang Young Yong, presiding as senior pastor, celebrated its 11th anniversary during Sunday worship. LWKCC was established in February 2010 in Orange County with the purpose of “fulfilling God’s will on the Earth.” In June 2017, it became a nesting church within Community Church in Leisure World. It is a Korean diaspora church.
Pastor Jang Young Yong delivered the sermon “Only the God’s will” for the anniversary service, followed by a short video reviewing the last 11 years. Elder Anna Jun, deacon Won Il Lim and deacon Min Jung Kim were awarded for their contributions. The LWKCC choir lead worship with the song “God’s Church,” written by Doo Wan Kim.
Pianist Jung Kang Han played a special piano performance from the songs “The World that God Created,” “Love Medley” and “Love Always Endures.”
After graduating from Yee Hwa Women’s high school and college, Jung Kang Han received PEO scholarship, then finished her master’s degree at Manhattan School of Music. She taught at Mok Won University and Baptist Seminary as professor. She was awarded by Yee Hwa Women’s high school for her contributions as well. Her husband, Doo Young Jung, is a pastor and composer. He was the first Korean to work as a music professor at UC Davis. He also composed the songs “Corinthian 13” and “Love Always Endures.”
After the anniversary worship service, lunchboxes and 11th anniversary pens were given out, and the entire congregation stood outside to snap a quick photo in front of the church.
LWKCC has weekly Sunday worship services staring at 11:50 a.m., and early morning services starting at 6 on Tuesdays-Saturdays.
Community Church
On Father’s Day, June 20, Community Church will look at one of life’s great questions found in Mark’s Gospel: “Why are you afraid?”
For many people, that question came from their fathers, who gave them the courage to tackle any fear. For others, their father was the greatest source of fear. The rest will likely fall somewhere in between.
Community Church is a place designed with the first-time participant in mind. Those have not felt welcome in church or have never participated in church before are welcome.
As Orange County continues to emerge from the pandemic, Community Church offers services virtually on Zoom and Facebook, as well as in-person service for those who are vaccinated. As a reminder, full vaccination happens two weeks after the second shot from Pfizer or Moderna, or one shot from Johnson & Johnson. Community Church plans to be open for everyone beginning in July, in line with national guidance.
The Prayer Chapel is now open. Pastor Johan Dodge welcomes all Leisure World residents back to enjoy the serenity of the Prayer Chapel. It is currently open on a limited basis, with the goal of opening for 24 hours in the near future. Masks are required inside the chapel at this time.
Those who are in need of asssitance or who would like more information on the church can call (562) 431-2503 or email leisurewccsue@yahoo.com
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.
Message
Leadership is a necessity within any organization, but it really comes to the forefront when that organization is going through rough times. As apostle Peter prepares to end his first epistle in chapter 5:1-4, he lays out some requirements for elders, who are the spiritual leaders of the church. He exhorts them to shepherd the flock of God until the chief shepherd appears. This call for leadership continues to this day and will continue until Christ, the chief shepherd, returns.
Scripture of the Week
“Let the word of Christ richly dwell in your hearts, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts” (Colossians 3:16, NASB).
Services
Saturday and Sunday services have the same message given by Pastor Bruce Humes. Sunday is a traditional service, with hymnal music provided by Pat Kogok at the piano. This week, Iris Muncie will sing. Sunday service times are from 9:30-10:45 a.m.
Saturday services are more contemporary, with Gregory Black leading worship with guitar accompaniment. Saturday service time is 9:30-10:45 a.m.
The Friday evening prayer meeting is from 6-7.
Announcements
First Christian Church is concerned about the health and safety of its members as well as everyone in Leisure World. Anyone experiencing coronavirus, flu or common cold symptoms should stay home.Those who have been in contact with anyone testing positive for the virus within the last 14 days are also asked to stay home.

Sunday, June 20, is a day of celebration for LW Assembly of God as it will resume meeting in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, at 10:30 a.m.
This marks the end of a long 16 months away from LW Assembly of God’s original meeting place, as conditions and recommendations were constantly changing. During that time, members have lost friends and loved ones, not just to COVID-19, but to other causes as well. Some have left for heaven, others have moved residences and some new people have also joined the congregation as well. Pastors Chuck and Sheryl Franco applaud and thank each person who has been flexible and stayed faithful in attendance, whether in person, by DVD or on Facebook.
Father’s Day is a great time to come together again in person and remember “The Father’s Love,” which is Pastor Chuck’s sermon title for the week, from 2 Corinthians 13:14. Each man who attends will receive a special gift.
Midweek Bible Study will begin on Wednesday, June 23, at 10 a.m., in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The series is titled “A Journey Into Hope When Life Is Tough,” a study based in 1 Peter.
The interfaith hymn sing will start again on July 18 in the Clubhouse 3 Lobby at 6 p.m.
Those who would like more information regarding the church or would like prayer can contact Pastors Chuck and Sheryl at the church office at (562) 357-4360, or by emailing lwagpas-torc@gmail.com. Prayer requests can also be directed to prayer team leader Carolyn Van Aalst at (562) 343-8424.
Redeemer Lutheran
Join Redeemer Lutheran for worship and fellowship at 13564 St. Andrews Drive on Sunday, June 20.
“Peace Amidst the Storm” is this week’s theme. The main service, with Communion and choir, is held inside the sanctuary at 10:30 a.m. Organist Sharon Heck and choir will offer inspirational music and hymns. The 30-minute outdoor communion service begins at 9:30 a.m. in the chapel courtyard.
The mid-week Bible study, led by Pastor Lynda Elmer, is held Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m.
A prayer-filled service with reflection and Communion is held at 11:30 a.m. in the chapel.
Those who want more information or have a pastoral need can call the church at (562) 598-8697.
LW Baptist
LW Baptist Church will meet for worship in Clubhouse 4 on Sunday, June 20, at 9:45 a.m.
Father’s Day is this Sunday, and the theme for this week’s message is “What is life’s all-important question?”
The main Bible passage is from Luke 10:25-37. Reflection questions include: Where is the answer to be found? Why is simply knowing the answer inadequate? What makes people’s questions about the Bible sincere or not? What does Jesus imply about the story’s hero? Why would Jesus’ hero create tension for a Jewish lawyer?
Each Sunday service begins with praise songs, Scripture reading, and the pastoral prayer and message. The LW Baptist Church family welcomes all LWers.
Call (562) 430-2920 for more information.
