Amphitheater 2022 Tonight
Gregory Wolfe’s Tribute To Rod Stewart will start at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Amphitheater.
When Wolfe hits the stage as Stewart and starts to sing, people do a double take. He is as close to the British rock superstar as a tribute artist can get.
Wolfe covers all Stewart’s greatest hits in a raspy voice that evokes one of the best-selling music artists of all time.Stewart has sold over 250 million records worldwide. He has had 10 No. 1 albums and 16 Top 10 singles in the U.S., with four reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. He was knighted in a 2016 Birthday Honor for his services to music and charity.
Stewart’s music career began in 1962 when he took up busking with a harmonica. His early albums were a fusion of rock, folk music, soul music and R&B. His third album, 1971’s “Every Picture Tells a Story,” was his breakthrough, topping the charts in the UK, U.S., Canada and Australia, as did its ballad “Maggie May.”
Wolfe moved from Michigan to California in the mid 1980s. After winning contests for his ability to look and sound like Stewart, he took to exploring the idea of creating a complete tribute showcasing the artist’s long illustrious career.
Wolfe has since traveled around the world performing concerts, events and venues.
He is as comfortable in front of a four-piece band as he is a large orchestra. His ability to stir the audience to dance—while dancing on stage with Stewart’s signature moves—is what his fans love and remember.
In 2012, Wolfe underwent treatment for cancer.
As a survivor, his talent and passion drives him to continue doing what he loves the most: Entertaining.
His journey is similar to one Stewart himself faced. He was diagnosed and had surgery in 2000 for thyroid cancer.
The surgery threatened Stewart’s iconic voice, and he had to relearn how to sing.
In the aftermath, Stewart has been active in raising funds for charities to find cures for all forms of cancer.
Meanwhile, Wolfe went on to play to packed and sold out shows in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, Maryland, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, and all the way to exotic Singapore. And he is ready for more. In performing as Stewart, Wolfe skillfully blends in a mix of other popular songs from the pop, soul, Motown and blues genres.
But a perennial concert highlight is his ability to get the audience on its feet.
“I refuse to let the crowd just sit there,” he says. “No matter who they are, I make sure they’ll get into it. If I’m having fun, usually the crowd reciprocates and has a good time.”

GRF Special Election Results
A special meeting of the GRF Board of Directors was held on Aug. 29 at 11 a.m. in Clubhouse 4, for the purpose of recording the counting process for the election of a GRF Director representing Mutual 11.
The results of the ballot count are as follows, with the winner’s name bolded:
Mutual 11: Edward Jablonsky, 139 votes. Quorum only: 1. Abstain: 5.
GRF Board Highlights
The GRF Board of Directors started one of its shortest meetings in recent history by showing its appreciation to GRF Purchasing Coordinator Justin Miyamoto, who stepped up to run that department in the absence of longtime Purchasing Manager Julie Rodgers. She left the company in the spring.
Miyamoto was named GRF Employee of the Month for August and will receive a plaque and a bonus. He went above and beyond to keep Purchasing running, according to Finance Director Carolyn Miller, who nominated him for the honor.
Other meeting highlights include:
Administration Building Office Modifications
Upon the recommendation of the GRF Administration Committee, the board voted to spend up to $52,314 to modify offices in the Administration Building, specifically at Stock Transfer and in second-floor offices.
A glass door will be installed in the back room of Stock Transfer, and a glass wall and door will be installed between waiting area and office.
The changes are being made to improve safety there. LW Security has been frequently called to Stock Transfer to quell disturbances by angry residents and their families. Calls for help have increased to the extent that Security has recently established a permanent presence there.
In the second-floor reception area, a wall and door will be built to provide more privacy for the office located behind the welcome desk.
In the area now occupied by the assistant to the executive director, a glass wall and door will be installed, also for privacy. The project also includes converting a storage area near Human Resources into an office by moving a wall, adding an exterior window, and installing a work station and cabinets.
Work will be done by GRF Service Maintenance wherever possible.
Code of Conduct
Upon the recommendation of the GRF Administration Committee, the board ratified 30-5093-1, Authorized Resident Rules of Conduct, which was published in the May 5 edition of the LW Weekly for resident review.
The latest version added theft of Trust property and egregious behavior of any kind to the list of prohibited behaviors.
The purpose of the code of conduct is to protect the GRF, GRF staff, GRF-contracted service providers and GRF residents. The rules outline core principles and standards of behavior that must be maintained to facilitate orderly and efficient operations in LW.
Reinstatement of Day-After-Thanksgiving Paid Holiday
Upon the recommendation of the GRF Administration Committee, the board voted unanimously to reinstate the day after Thanksgiving as a paid holiday, bringing the observed employee holidays from 11 days to 12, in addition to one floating holiday.
Clubhouse 1 Woodshop Rules
The board voted to adopt 70-1500-1, Woodshop Rules, as drafted by GRF Recreation staff and the Recreation Committee ahead of the anticipated opening of the newly expanded and renovated woodshop in Clubhouse 1.
The Clubhouse 2 woodshop has been closed in the wake of a $306,600 upgrade to the Clubhouse 1 facility, which is renovated, with electrical and safety upgrades, cabinets, windows, doors and tools and equipment.
North Orange Continuing Education (NOCE), LW’s senior university, is recruiting a certified woodworking instructor to spur interest in the hobby.
The vacated space in Clubhouse 2 will make way for another amenity, to be decided, according to GRF board members.
To be ready for the grand opening, the board approved the new woodshop rules policy pending a 28-day notification to the members (see page 5). The board will make a final decision on the policy at its meeting on Oct. 25, and public comments are welcome before that.
Recreational Vehicle Lot Policy
Upon the recommendation of the Recreation Committee, the board adopted policy 70-1487-1B, Recreational Vehicle Lot (RVL)—Rules and Regulations. Residents were given notice of the changes in the May 5 edition of the LW Weekly.
The policy can be found at lwsb.com and covers recreational vehicle definitions, leases, penalties, space and lot rules, and eligibility requirements, among other information.
Recreational Vehicle Fee Schedule
Upon the recommendation of the Recreation Committee, the board voted to amend policy 70-1487-2, Recreational Vehicle Lot (RVL)—Schedule of Fees and Monetary Fines. The proposed fee schedule was printed in the May 5 edition of the LW Weekly for resident review.
The schedule can be found at lwsb.com and lists annual space lease and other fees and fines.
GRF to close for holiday
In observance of Labor Day, all Golden Rain Foundation offices except Security will be closed Monday, Sept. 5.
The Leisure World Maintenance Department will be on call for emergencies at (562) 594-4754.
The Minibus and the Access bus will operate on the holiday schedule.
Guided Nature Walk is Sept. 3
A Raptor Ramble guided walk on the Hellman portion of Los Cerritos Wetlands will be held at 8 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 3. The parking lot gate will open at 7:45 a.m. and close at 8:10 a.m. No latecomers will be admitted for the tour, and all participants must stay for the entire tour, which will end by 10 a.m.

People will then stroll through heritage coastal sage scrub and historic dredge spoils while looking for raptors (birds of prey) and a number of other species that nest in the area. As walkers pass salt flats, they may see tiger beetles and coyote tracks before hiking up to the Heron Pointe Cultural trail to discuss how tidal circulation shapes local wetlands. The walk will end at the access parking area. People can bring binoculars to observe many kinds of interesting wildlife.
SB Animal Care Center benefit is Sept. 8
The Seal Beach Animal Care Center (SBACC) will have three tables to collect donations available at the Thursday, Sept. 8, Amphitheater show featuring a tribute to the Eagles.

SB Council Election Update
District 5 Council Member Sandra Massa-Lavitt will be termed out this year after serving two four-year terms, so her seat is now open. District 5 covers all of LW west of St. Andrews Drive. That includes Mutuals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and part of Mutual 1.
The following candidates have filed nomination papers with the Office of the City Clerk of Seal Beach:
• Mariann Klinger of Mutual 9, Seal Beach planning commissioner, representing District 5.
• Michael McGrorty of Mutual 4, retiree.
• Nathan Steele of Mutual 7, business owner.
• Jonathan Rich of Mutual 1, professor/statistician.
Also up for election are representatives for District 1, Old Town and Surfside Colony; and District 3, Marina Hill, Coves, Bridgeport and Heron Pointe.
To win a council election in Seal Beach, a candidate must receive 50% of the vote plus one.
If none of the candidates in a given district reaches 50% plus one, the top two candidates compete in a runoff election.
The city council is the community’s legislative body and provides direction on business matters, sets policy, and adopts the annual budget, according to the Seal Beach website. As a legislative body, its members are the community’s decision makers.
The city manager serves at the pleasure of the city council as its full-time executive whose job it is to administer city staff, projects, policies and programs on behalf of the council.
The city council meets the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Unless otherwise announced, the meetings are held in the City Council Chambers, 211 Eighth St., and typically begin at 5 p.m. with a study session or closed session meeting.
The televised portion of the meeting starts at 7 p.m. and can be viewed on cable television on SBTV-Channel 3 or on the City’s website, www.sealbeachca.gov, through the Agenda, Notices & Meeting Videos option through the Government menu option.
Excessive Heat Warning Issued
The National Weather Service issued an Excessive Heat Warning Aug. 30 that remains in effect through 8 p.m., Sept. 5, possibly extending through Sept. 7. The urgent weather message warns of dangerously hot conditions with temperatures of 105-110 expected in parts of Southern California. A high of 95 is predicted for Seal Beach on Sunday, Sept. 4, and lows will only fall to the mid- and upper 70s. This will significantly increase the potential for heat-related illnesses.
The City of Seal Beach will open a cooling center Sept. 3-6 at the Seal Beach Tennis Center, 3900 Lampson Ave., from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. over the weekend and through 9 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday. LW residents can also get relief from the heat at air-conditioned clubhouses and other venues here and the pool.
In addition to staying in air-conditioned buildings, people are advised to drink more water than usual and avoid dehydrating alcoholic, sugary or caffeinated drinks. Dress for the heat in lightweight and light-colored clothing. Eat small meals and eat more often. Monitor people with a higher vulnerability to heat, and check in on family, friends and neighbors. If engaging in outdoor activity, take longer and more frequent breaks.
Scam Alert
Tech-support scams siphon billions of dollars from Americans’ pockets every year, and LW computer expert Tina Schaffer reports receiving several distress calls last week from Leisure World residents. Pop-up messages on their computer screens were telling them their computers had been hacked or infected with a virus, and directing them to call a toll-free number for assistance.
This is a scam, and their computers were not really at risk. Instead, con artists are trying to trick people into paying for computer support services they don’t need, empty bank accounts or even steal identities.
According to Schaffer, a LW resident came within seconds of wire transferring $75,000 to scammers who were on the other end of the phone number that popped up on his computer screen.
Over the past year alone, Americans lost $29.8 billion to phone and computer scams.
“We are hearing about scams more than ever, as many as three to four calls a day,” Schaffer said. “We used to get that many calls in a month. I am not sure what has changed, but it’s very alarming that people are increasingly conned into sending criminals money. Yet, it’s not surprising, considering that these criminals are incredibly clever in the way that they manipulate people.”
The misleading pop-up Internet advertisements are convincing as they alert unsuspecting computer users that something is seriously wrong with their computers, which must be immediately fixed. Scammers often pose as representatives of reputable, well-known computer or software companies.
Schaffer offers the following advice to help residents protect themselves from computer scams.
• Never call a phone number that pops up on a computer screen or in an email. If this is your first encounter with a scam, the most dangerous thing you can do is think you’re too smart to fall for it.
• The easiest thing you can do to protect yourself is do not call the number on the screen. If the number is readily available, it is a scam.
• Never give information to anyone that you do not personally know. If you give a stranger access to your computer, he or she can get all your passwords, personal and financial information.
• No matter how the thieves deliver the threat (on your computer, a phone call, a text message), the immediate result is often the same. You may panic and want to fix it. If you call the number, you’ll get a helpful voice on the other end, reiterating what grave danger you’re in, but then they reassure that they will keep you from the real harm.
• Once they get you on the phone, the real hustle begins. The scammer says he’s a certified Apple (or Microsoft, or any other well-known company) technician, and offers to give you his certification number. The talk is fast and smooth, and the crook has an answer for everything.
• The fake technician might ask you to download an app that allows them to “run a diagnostic test.” Then they pretend to spot all kinds of horrible things, and either offer to fix it, maybe for a price, or download more software—which will likely infect your machine with malware and spyware.
• If it involves urgency, it’s a scam.
• If it involves money, it’s a scam.
• If it involves free money, it’s a scam.
• If it involves logging in, it’s a scam.
• If it involves anything that sounds too good to be true, it’s a scam.
• If it involves Amazon, Apple, PayPal, checks or bank accounts, it’s a scam.
• If it involves special fees or a courier, it’s a scam.
• If it involves the word “kindly,” it’s a scam.
• If it involves someone trying to gain your trust to do something you already know is wrong, it’s a scam.
• If it involves sending a code to help someone “unlock” their account, it’s a scam.
• If it involves buying gift cards and sending the code, it’s a scam.
• If someone is trying to convince you it’s “legit,” it’s a scam.

Letters to the Editor
Editor:
In light of the recent California state legislation concerning electric vehicles, I am curious as to the long-term plans for charging stations in Leisure World. When I asked my mutual board, I was told that there will be charging stations outside the south gate. Given the number of residents in Leisure World, this does not seem like a realistic solution.
I would like to see information reported concerning the long-term plans. Will our parking locations be equipped with charging stations that can be billed to our individual units or with a credit card? Are there —or will there be—grants available to help subsidize the cost of creating adequate charging facilities?
Many of us will not be around when this law takes full effect, but I believe we have a responsibility for future residents to provide adequate charging facilities to support this new mode of “fueling” our vehicles.

For over three years, the grounds of the neighborhood United States Post Office branch on Westminster Avenue have been in a constant state of neglect with untrimmed and overgrown bushes, an abundance of weeds over six feet high and litter that is allowed to accumulate.
After watching this ongoing neglect, I finally had my Popeye moment of “can’t stand it no more.” So, I sent a complaint to USPS, not expecting a reply.
Well, to my surprise, I received a quick response from the branch’s Postmaster who agreed with my observation of neglect but then shared her frustration that they “can’t get funding” to do this landscape maintenance.
Huh? I then waited a few weeks thinking they could maybe find a way to clean this mess out of basic pride.
Nada. This leaves me to wonder why the feds can spend taxpayer billions here and even trillions there but can’t find some hope and loose change in a desk drawer to restore some pride and maintain their rather small property?
I recently upped the ante and contacted the City of Seal Beach and our Congresswoman Michelle Steel about this. So far, the city has been responsive but is limited in its options to hold a federal agency responsible as they would any other property owner.
Yes, we all agree there are way bigger fish to fry, but if the feds can’t handle this tiny guppy of an issue, how can we set aside partisan bickering and expect D.C. to handle the big fish fry issues? I’m running low on trust .

I would like to address this letter to the writer of a letter (Aug. 18) who stated an abortion is not the death of a child. It is called a fetus in the womb, a baby after it is born until about one year, and a toddler until about three or four years. They are termed pre-schoolers, middle schoolers, junior high and high school students. All their tissues of their bodies are distinctly human during all of these years.
I have degrees in nursing administration and a bachelor’s in human science. At one time, I was in charge of a neonatal nursery and the smallest baby we had at that time weighed one pound, eight ounces. She was discharged when she weighed five pounds.
Much more has now been learned about the unborn baby. We know the heart starts beating in the first months, and the baby’s fingerprints are formed around 17 weeks.
Persons who say they are respecting a woman’s rights are forgetting that many babies in pregnant women are little girls waiting to become women.
The new laws are more helpful if the pregnant woman knows she can’t raise a baby. Papers can be signed in hospitals that allow for immediate adoption or the child can later be safely left at a fire or police station.
My huband and I have five children, two planned and three surprises.
We both worked full time through the child-rearing years and completed our educations, as well. We thank God for the five children and 14 grandchildren we call family.

I recently moved to Leisure World last year at the age of 55.
I have been loving the concerts, activities and the safety of living here.
I was wondering if there is a 55-65 year old meet-up group here. I believe that its existence would greatly appeal to many 55-plus in moving into this fabulous community.

LW Baptist
LW Baptist’s Sunday worship service will celebrate God’s declaration that “light shall shine out of darkness” at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 4.
Corinth, the city Jesus chose to plant his church as a light in spiritual darkness, though commercially prosperous, was notorious for its sinful populace. After listing many such sins, the Bible reminds Corinth’s new believers, “and such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified; you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the spirit of our God.” The Corinthian church became a lighthouse, a beacon of pure light amid the world’s darkness.
On Monday, Sept. 5, at 10 a.m. the men’s Bible study group will explain why the Lord trimmed Gideon’s army to 300 before granting victory. After choir practice on Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 3 p.m., the Energizers Group will study Psalm 28.
For more information on the church, call (562) 430-8598.

Faith Christian Assembly
Isaiah 43:7 says that humans were created for God’s glory and 1 Corinthians 10:31 confirms this, saying “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
Believers seem to understand the importance of living for the glory of God better when they are sitting in church on Sunday. They may have the best intentions while listening to the sermon, but unfortunately those intentions can quickly fade from view by the time they reach the church’s parking lot.
God has made it clear in the scriptures that he wants believers to glorify him in everything, including things that seem insignificant, such as eating or drinking.
Psalm 34:2-5 says “I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.”
Believers should ask themselves if they desire his glory more than anything else.
Join Faith Christian Assembly at one of its Sunday services at 10:30 a.m. or 5:30 p.m., with pre-service prayer in the Garden Room at 5 p.m. each week. The Bible study is held every Wednesday at 11 a.m. in the Garden Room.

People are welcome to worship and explore God’s word together “that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine” (Romans 1:12).
Message From the Pastor
Genesis 1:6 reads, “Then God said, “Let there be a expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” In Genesis 1:1 God created the earth, and the earth was formless and void of life but covered with water. Now in verse 6, God calls for an expanse to be in the midst of the waters, and in verses 7-8, the expanse is explained, “thus, God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse Heaven. So, the evening and morning were the second day.”
All of the creation described in Scriptures can be difficult for humans with finite minds to comprehend what is taking place happened in one day. But for God, an eternal creator with infinite power, knowledge, and presence, it’s just another day at the office.This week Pastor Bruce Humes will discuss the importance and vastness of these marvelous wonders God created.
Weekend Services
Sunday services from 9:30-10:45 a.m. are traditional, with hymnal music led by Pat Kogak at the piano.

Sermon for this week: There are very few things those in the Leisure World generation grew up with that have remained un-changed. Technology changes at blazing speed. Music, fashion, personal interaction, values and beliefs continue to evolve in response to social pressure, leaving many questioning if anything is absolute.
Pastor Chuck Franco will begin a new series titled “What is Truth?” on Sunday, Sept. 4. The first installment of the series is titled “His Word,” from 2 Timothy 3:15-17. The message will explore the unchanging, firm foundation on which Christians base their faith.
Bible Study: “Pastor Chuck will lead session the next of the series, “Whisper,” by Mark Batterson.
Sometimes the best way to get someone’s attention is to whisper. When there are many voices screaming for attention, it might seem as if God’s voice is drowned out. However, those listening for his voice will hear him.
This study trains the spiritual ear to hear God speaking. A short teaching video clip is followed by a focused discussion and student participation.
Many students have described this series as life-changing. All residents are welcome to attend the study.

Community Church
Change is hard, especially when it is sudden. This week Community Church will look at a passage from the prophet Jeremiah, who describes God as an artist at the potter’s wheel who is forming the clay on the wheel as it spins.
The beauty of the clay at this stage is that it can be smoothed and shaped into something new through the gentle touch of the artist’s hands. The prophet describes God’s people as needing to be shaped into something new.
Community Church is often called “the friendly church” and welcomes people of all backgrounds. Due to COVID safety concerns, people who want to attend the in-person worship service must provide proof of vaccination, but masking is optional.

Sunshine Club
Learn about Pathways
Pathways Program Manager Tammie Ottenad will speak at the Sunshine Club’s meeting on Friday, Sept. 2, in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. at 10 a.m.,
Pathways has been serving the Leisure World community for over 20 years. It helps seniors put together an individualized care plan that may include in-home support, nutritional needs, medicine management, home safety and emotional support. Pathways also provides grief support groups on-site at the Health Care Center.
Nearly 90% of older adults want to stay in their own homes as they age. Aging in place helps a person to remain in their own home and community safely, independently and comfortably. The problem is that when something in a senior’s living situation begins to change, many don’t know where to turn for help. Ottenad will go over different options that seniors have to make the best choice for their personal needs. She brings over 25 years of program management skills to Pathways.

LW Anniversary
Ren and Myrrha celebrate 54 years together
My wife, Myrrha Villanueva, and I will celebrate our 54th wedding anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 3. Our romance started when we first crossed paths in 1958 in my cousin’s house in Manila. Myrrha was a nursing student at the University of Santo Tomas while I was studying mechanical engineering at Feati University. We started dating as friends as we were still students.
After Myrrha graduated from college, she worked herself to a gainful employ-ment and, in 1963, she was granted an exchange student visa by the United States to continue her studies for two years. She would have to return to the Philippines after her visa ended. She instead applied for an immigrant visa in Canada, which was granted to her. She worked with Toronto General Hospital. While I continued my studies to finish my engineering career, which took longer as I was a working student. All the while we were exchanging letters and phone calls every week.
In 1967, I was recruited by Boeing Aircraft in Everett, Washington, as a contract employee. Myrrha returned to the Philippines unannounced in February 1968 to assess the situation of our relationship. After some serious considerations and being so much in love, I chose to migrate to Canada with her instead of becoming a contract employee in the U.S.
We got married at St. Basil’s Church in Toronto on Sept. 3, 1968. We are blessed with two daughters and a granddaughter. We had extensive travels around the world.
In 2018, Myrrha and I celebrated our 50th wed-ding anniversary in Bora-Bora, Tahiti. We renewed our wedding vows officiated by a Tahitian priestess. I retired from Los Angeles Unified School District in 2000 and Myrrha retired from LAC-USC Medical Center in 2001. We moved to Leisure World in 2007 and are enjoying every minute of it. We keep ourselves busy by joining clubs and volunteering our time to this incredible community.

Diane Dixon, the LW Republican Club’s endorsed candidate for California State Assembly, is the scheduled speaker for the club’s next meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 21, in Clubhouse, 3, Room 2, at 7 p.m.
Dixon served in the private sector as a business executive before being elected to the Newport Beach City Council in 2014. She is serving her second term as mayor, and has served as the chair of the water quality and tidelands committee and the chair of the finance committee.
Fiscal responsibility and government transparency have been the hallmarks of Dixon’s time at city hall. She helped the city deliver budget surpluses, pay down pension liabilities, improve public safety. She also helped complete infrastructure projects on time and within budget and greater cooperation between residents, businesses, and government to resolve community problems.
Dixon has held more than 30 town hall meetings, worked closely with local business owners and residents to solve community prob-lems, and initiated numerous neighborhood and community improvement programs. She added citizen members to the city’s finance committee and other council committees and launched independent audits of city projects.
Dixon is a current member of the regional council of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and a board member of Orange County Council of Governments (OCCOG).
Dixon has been an active member on several philanthropic community-based boards of directors for nearly four decades, including United Way Orange County, YMCA, public television, USC Board of Councilors and Alumni Association, educa-tional institutions, child service agencies and health-related organizations.

The LW Republican Club’s book of the month is “Love Your Enemies,” by Arthur C. Brooks.
Brooks is the head of the American Enterprise Institute, the largest conservative think tank in America. His book demonstrates that people can change the current political “culture of contempt,” not just by toning down rhetoric, but also by changing attitudes about those who disagree. The book is available free in digital audio version from www.overdrive.com or on the Libby app via cell phone or Kindle devices.
