AMPHITHEATER CONCERT
‘Walk Don’t Run’ to Venturesmania
Tribute to The Ventures
July 27 | 7:30 p.m.
Amphitheater Stage
Sponsor: Community Legal Aid SoCal
Venturesmania is a tribute to the Ventures, a 1960s rock band that built its reputation on surf guitar. A group of Southern California surf musicians formed the band for the sole purpose of backing up legendary guitarist Nokie Edwards, the lead guitarist for The Ventures, America’s No. 1 instrumental rock group of all time.
The group played with Edwards on multiple occasions and even recorded a new album with him, “Bound & Sidejacked Again!,” before his passing. Since then, Venturesmania has continued as a group, playing not only the great instrumental hits of the Ventures, but also exploring other instrumental surf music of the 1960s and even throwing in some party-pleasing vocal songs.
The Ventures were known for helping to popularize the electric guitar across the world.
The band is best known for its songs “Walk Don’t Run,” a catchy and melodic cover of the Champs song “Tequila,” “The Cruel Sea,” and a high-energy rock version of the Johnny Rivers song “Secret Agent Man.”
Using period-correct guitars, amplifiers, drums and even vintage suits, Venturesmania is a time trip of the best kind.
See page 9 for a full list of Amphitheater rules and page 23 for the full season schedule.

EXTRA COPIES
Pick up maps, Community Guides and more
The GRF News Office, located next to the Amphitheater, has extra copies of informational publications that help residents navigate Leisure World. Here are a few of the publications that residents can pick up at the office anytime between 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
2023-24 Community Guide: The Community Guide is the go-to resource for all things Leisure World—including information on the GRF Board, Mutual boards and GRF’s varying departments and their duties. In addition to providing information on the nuts and bolts of the community, the Community Guide also contains Leisure World’s white pages, providing contact information for GRF departments, fellow residents and important personnel in the City of Seal Beach.
2023-24 Spotlight On Entertainment: This magazine-style booklet contains all the information that residents need to take advantage of this summer’s Amphitheater season, including showtimes and locations for this season’s live concerts and free movie screenings at the Amphitheater. This booklet also contains useful tips about transportation to and from the Amphitheater, as well as the Recreation Department’s upcoming trips and GRF events.
Leisure World Seal Beach Maps: With 16 Mutuals, five clubhouses and a broad range of sport and recreational facilities, Leisure World can be a tricky place to navigate. Some residents keep a spare LW map in their cars to make sure they never get lost, or keep an extra map on hand for exploring the community.

ANIMAL CONTROL
SB Police will enforce animal-related laws
Earlier this month, the Seal Beach Police Department implemented a new, in-house animal control program. For several years, the City of Long Beach provided animal control services to Seal Beach.
Part of implementing this new program was reviewing several animal-related laws and regulations. Here are a few of them:
7.05.055 At-Large Requirements for Cats and Dogs.
A. No owner of a dog shall permit the animal to be at large unless it is leashed, confined in a motor vehicle or on another person’s property with permission.
B. No owner of a cat shall permit the animal to enter upon another person’s property or residential unit without permission.
C. The animal control officer may impound any cat or dog found in violation of this section.
7.05.070 Transportation of Animals. No person shall transport an animal by motor vehicle unless the animal is confined to prevent falling or jumping off the vehicle.
7.05.090 Blocking Public Places. No owner of a dog shall tie the dog to a tree, bike rack or similar object in front of any public place.
7.05.100 Feeding Wild Birds. No person shall feed any wild bird. This prohibition shall not apply to the feeding of wild birds that are confined in an enclosure on private property.
While a component of any effective animal control program is enforcement, the Seal Beach Police Department is prioritizing its efforts on outreach and education.
“Adherence to animal regulations is important to maintain the quality of life in Seal Beach. We believe that through education, warnings, and outreach, we will be able to accomplish our goals,” said Operations Bureau Manager Nick Nicholas. “However, as we do now with other regulations, if enforcement is critical and necessary, we will act and issue citations.”
Those who want to report any animal-related issues should call the police non-emergency line at 562-594-7232. Police will dispatch an animal control officer to the scene. For life-or-death emergencies, dial 911.
For more information about the program, email animalcontrol@sealbeachca.gov. To ask general questions about the Seal Beach Police Department and its work, email askacop@sealbeachca.gov.

A first look at GRF’s new RFID headlamp tags
GRF is acquiring radio frequency identification (RFID) tags in order to increase security at its gates. The tags are about 4 inches long and transparent, with adhesive meant to attach to a vehicle headlamp.
The new gate system will be equipped with an RFID reader, which can read RFID tags from a certain distance. With a valid RFID tag, the barrier arm will raise, allowing a vehicle to pass into the community.
Each member will be issued one RFID tag for free. Additional tags can be purchased. For more information on the proposed fees, see page 5.

PERSPECTIVES
Letter to the Editor
Editor:
Last week, the Powerball jackpot was $1 billion, and the Mega Millions jackpot was over $600 million.
But I’ll have to go elsewhere to buy lottery tickets. We don’t have a California Lottery ticket vending machine within Leisure World.
I’d like to offer the idea of getting one located here. We could place the machine in the Café, in Clubhouse 6 or in the not-yet-opened pharmacy.
One potential benefit is that retailers receive a bonus for selling the winning ticket too. Is anyone else interested in this idea? Good luck.
Steve Martinez

Setting It Straight
Due to a typographical error, the year listed in one of the frequently asked questions about the new gate access system was incorrect. The sentence should have read: “Four annual guest passes will not be issued in 2024. Instead, each unit is permitted up to four guests to be listed as permanent guests in the new system, Proptia.”

Today, July 27, coincides with the Hebrew date 9 Av, 5783—Tisha B’Av, the most somber day in the Jewish calendar. Similar to Yom Kippur, it is observed with an all day fast, and reading from Ecclesiastes, or “Eicha” in Hebrew. It is a day of mourning, commemorating every catastrophic occurrence in Jewish history, including the building of the golden calf, the destruction of both Temples in Jerusalem, the loss of the Holy Land and exile for 2,000 years.
The first Shabbat this Saturday, is called “Shabbat Nachamu” (the Sabbath of Consolation). It is followed by a six week period of introspection and consolation culminating with the High Holy Days. The reading will from the Torah portion “Va’etchanan” (I pleaded) from Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11. It begins with Moshe’s plea to cross the Jordan and enter the Promised Land. HaShem refuses, but ends with His/Her/Its love for the Jewish people.
All Beit HaLev services share the new special prayerbooks onscreen, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.”To join Beit HaLev, call Rabbi Galit-Shirah at 562-715-0888 or email duets@icloud.com.

First Christian Church
First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, verse by verse.
It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors to join in 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.
Weekend Services
In Genesis 17:8-16 God foretells consequential events that will happen in the lives of Abram and Sarai, beginning with changing their names to Abraham and Sarah. God then establishes the religious ritual of circumcision as a sign of remembrance of the covenant that God had with his people.
In verse 16, God tells Abraham that he and Sarah will have a son. This came as a surprise since Abraham and Sarah were in their 90s, well past childbearing age. God also told Abraham the name of that son would be Isaac, and that He, God, would make a covenant with Isaac and with his descendants after him. That everlasting covenant is still in effect today. However, with the arrival of Jesus that covenant was opened to all people. When people allow Christ to become their savior, they enter the covenant given to Isaac.
Weekend Services
Sunday services are traditional from 9:30-10:45 a.m. with hymnal music led by Janet Ray and Pat Kogak at the piano. This week, Gregory Black will present the special music.
Saturday services are more contemporary with Gregory Black leading worship with guitar accompaniment. The service is held from 9:30-10:45 a.m.
Midweek Studies
The women’s Bible study, led by Melli Herrera is held on Mondays from 10:30-11:30 a.m.
Pastor Gary Whitlatch leads the Tuesday Bible study group from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
The Thursday Bible study group, led by Pastor Bruce Humes, meets from 10:30-11:30 a.m.

Faith Christian Assembly
Scripture explains why church attendance should be important for believers. Hebrews 10:25 says, “and let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”
When the Lord tells his people something, it’s always for their own good. The Lord knows that connection with him and with others is what people were created for and can’t live without.
Faith Christian Assembly is here for people. Those who are looking for a church or want to learn more are invited to come to a service. The church has a rich heritage going back almost 90 years and is still a thriving and loving community of believers.
Sunday service times are at 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., with pre-service prayer offered at 5. The men’s and women’s ministries meet on the third Thursdays of each month at 1 p.m.
To receive more information about the church or receive the free monthly newsletter, call 562-598-9010, email contact@fcachurch.net or visit www.FCAchurch.net.

Frankiewicz will lead worship and provide the sermon while Pastor Johan Dodge is on vacation. All are welcome to attend. The service is followed by a time of food and fellowship.

LW Chorale
The Leisure World Chorale is one of the oldest performance clubs in Leisure World. Over the years, there have been numerous changes and several dedicated, talented directors and accompanists. Currently, Galit Levy-Slater is the director and co-president along with Connie Young.
Summer is not always the easiest time to recruit new members; people are on vacation, trying to stay cool, don’t like getting up early to sing.
The club’s membership, however, is in need of a boost as it prepares for the holidays.
After a brainstorming session, it was decided that instead of having one holiday showcase, the group will be carolers, roaming from pool to exercise room, office to office, clubhouse to clubhouse, to entertain with holiday music, dances and a few surprises.
The club needs rehearsal days more than once a week, so in addition to its Monday morning meetings from 9-11 in Clubhouse 3, Room 4, it will also meet on Thursdays at 1 p.m. The location of the Thursday rehearsal will be announced at a later date.
Members are having fun and rediscovering the club’s purpose. It’s looking for new voices with a desire to entertain. For more information, contact Galit at 562-715-0888 or duets@icloud.com.

Greenbelt Singers
by Jan Friedland
LW contributor
Living in Leisure World Seal Beach keeps getting better and better! Not only are there many clubs, activities and events going on each week but, now we have something new to entertain us. There’s a new group in town that call themselves “The Greenbelt Singers!”
Ken Notorleva, the person behind the group, moved to LW 2.5 years ago when an old friend and former co-worker since 1972, Dean Jacobus, told him that Leisure World is like “a day camp for seniors.” When Ken heard that, he said, “I’m in!”
Notorleva is no stranger to singing. In fact, he was a professional singer before moving to Seal Beach. In LW he discovered many singing groups and joined them.
While Notorvela was involved in several of these singing clubs, he would invite his neighbors to attend the club musicals, but few did.
He then suggested that they come to listen from his front porch in the afternoons where they could bring a chair, sit and listen to music from his greenbelt area. That worked. In January, Notorleva invited Ric Dizon, his singing buddy, to join him and bring music to Notorleva’s neighbors. From there he thought why not deliver music directly to all the Mutuals when invited.
Notorleva began sharing his vision of bringing music to the residents in any of the greenbelt areas, and other singers joined. The Greenbelt Singers come with their own accompanying music to perform the songs that we are all familiar with and love. The group is comprised of 22 singers.
Each gig has four or more singers joining Notorleva and Dizon. From January through July 15, the group has performed several times and have booked several more performances through September. Earlier this month, they performed for a Lapidary Club picnic celebrating three birthdays, and for a Sunshine Club picnic.
The Greenbelt Singers are absolutely terrific, and they sing for free. Donations are appreciated to maintain and replace equipment.
Those interested in booking The Greenbelt Singers to come a Mutual can contact Notorleva at musicmyway@icloud.com.

‘Let the Good Times Roll’ Club
The doo-wop ‘Let the Good Times Roll’ Club extends a big thank you to all guests who came to its performance in Clubhouse 2 on July 15. Special thanks were extended to Cristian Sanchez and the building custodians, storyteller Rob Illingworth, and video/photographer team Bonnie Cooper, who is diligently working on a video production. The club will post progress and the video release date on its Facebook group page.
The club’s next show is planned for Saturday, Sept. 16, and performers will be returning to a classic doo-wop sock hop and early days of rock theme.
Any LW residents interested in joining the club, especially male voices (particularly Elvis-style), are welcome to audition during a rehearsal Tuesday, Aug. 1, in Clubhouse 2 at 7:30 p.m.
Additional audition details will be released in the coming weeks. People can request membership now to the Leisure World Seal Beach Let the Good Times Roll Facebook group page. The cutoff for auditions will be Aug. 15.

Amenity Update from Recreation
by Kathy Thayer
Recreation Manager
With GRF and Mutual elections and the usual June hiatus for GRF committees, it’s been a while since the Recreation Department has updated readers on what’s happening in Recreation.
Amphitheater Season
The Amphitheater season is in full swing with Thursday live concerts and Friday open air movies. The attendance demonstrates Leisure Worlders are anxious to get out and enjoy the summer. Come and dine al fresco before the show with Koffel’s Taco Truck and Mandi’s Candies Ice Cream Truck.
Bus Trip Tickets Going Fast
Bus trips are perennially popular and have been selling out. The Museum of Tolerance and a trip to the Segerstrom for a tribute to the Temptations are next on the calendar, followed by “The Nutcracker” and a holiday trip to the Sawdust Festival. Sales have been brisk, keeping the department operating in the black.
New Food Trucks
The new food truck rotation is drawing compliments from the community. Recently, the department added two Asian fare trucks, an empanada truck, a dessert truck, and Kabobaholic will be back for a visit along with Cousin’s Lobster in August.
Committee Restructuring
The new Member Services Committee, which replaces the Recreation Committee in part, had its inaugural meeting July 11. Some items that were previously were under Recreation’s purview are now handled by Facilities. The GRF restructuring is designed to streamline operations. Authorized residents are welcome to attend the meetings in Conference Room A or watch them livestreamed on www.lwsb.com by clicking “Meeting Livestream” in the top left corner of the webpage.
Record-Breaking July 4 Event
The July 4 Classic Car and Craft Show broke all the records of previous years with 95 cars, courtesy of Silver Fox Car Club, and 55 parading golf carts, thanks to the Rollin’ Thunder Golf Cart Club. An estimated 1,000 residents, family members and friends enjoyed dancing to classic rock while lunching with Lucille’s BBQ and Koffel’s. LW’s own craft clubs generated lots of interest and sales of their creative treasures indoors while the Theater Club painted patriotic designs on the faces of young and mature guests.
Swap Meet was a Success
The GRF June Swap Meet had vendors and buyers alike begging for more. Many will participate in the November Arts and Crafts Festival and again in the spring as Recreation has added another opportunity after many requests. A very special fall festival is in the planning stages with all GRF departments weighing in on a community-wide event. Recreation will be reporting more on that major event soon.
The Recreation Department welcomes residents’ respectful input and inquiries on all things Recreation. For more information, contact kathyt@lwsb.com.

Community Karaoke
Having fun is what karaoke is all about. It was fun for Elizabeth Butterfield singing “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head” with plenty of energy. She had the audience’s attention. Frank Miller’s rendition of “Hound Dog” got Mariza Joaquin dancing in the aisles. Ric Dizon’s Hawaiian tunes were cool songs for a hot evening. Sally Glausser was animated with “Big Spender.”
The audience enjoyed the pleasing voice of Vickie Van Ert singing “Walk on By.” A beautiful hit by Anne Murray was Sherlene Wallis’ selection. The catchy number “All My Exes Live in Texas,” sung by Vinny Correnti, got the line dancers moving. David Noble put his own spin on a country hit “Anytime.” A popular couple, Sue and Walter Piippo, melded their voices for duets. Anna Le used her powerful voice doing “The Winner Takes It All.”
Karaoke nights in Clubhouse 1 are fast-paced with a variety of music. Singers love their audience and the performers strive to entertain them. Music can relieve stress whether people sing or listen. People can join club members each Wednesday evening by dropping in anytime from 5:30-9:30.

Beginning Aug. 3, the Joyful Line Dance Club moves to Clubhouse 2 from Clubhouse 6. Class times and days will remain the same, Thursdays from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
The club was formed in 2014 and held a special summer line dance party to celebrate its ninth anniversary on July 13. The club welcomes everyone who loves to dance. No partners are needed.
The event ran smoothly under the guidance of Albert and Gladys Comia with a Korean dosirak lunch and 50 people who dressed up for the party and bonded over dancing and food. The club also thanks George Pinada and Sophia Chun for cutting the watermelons and cantaloupes, Gina Baik for coordinating with a catering company and everyone else who helped to serve food.
The Joyful Line Dance Club encourages men to come out and put on their dancing shoes. Currently, the club has more than four men who regularly participate in the classes.
Nine leaders of the club take turns in teaching the classes. They are Albert Comia, Chung Cha Lewis, George Pinada, Carmel Atkinson, Sunny Kim, Ginna Paik, Elizabeth Kim and Nak Soo Kim and Anna Derby.

Wa-Rite
Wa-Rite July meetings have served as opportunities for accountability and celebrations of success. The total weight loss for June was 25.5 pounds. But even with a holiday, members have lost a total of 18 pounds in just the first two weeks of July.
After earning the queen of May title (total loss of 8 pounds), Karen Green also snagged the top loser title (weekly loss of 3 pounds) at the July 14 meeting. Green attributes her continuing success to eating nutritious foods in appropriate quantities and exercising.
June queen Marianne Barlow is another frequent visitor to the winner’s circle. She lost a total of six pounds and earned her bachelor of goal weight in June. Another frequent contender, Bea Quintana, grabbed the title of top loser for the week of July 7 with an impressive loss of 2.5 pounds.
At the July 14 meeting people had an opportunity to discuss the benefits and importance of hydration following the timely and informative presentation by member Linda Rich. While hydration is important all year, it is particularly critical during the hot summer months. Rich reminded everyone to keep water bottles handy and sip often instead of waiting to get thirsty. Thirst is a red flag of the beginning stage of dehydration.
Wa-Rite offers a nonjudgmental and supportive environment that provides information, accountability, and shared experiences to members who work toward their common goal of making the most of their golden years by being as healthy and fit as possible. Members range from those maintaining their ideal weight to those working toward that goal.
Those interested in better health, more energy and some light-hearted camaraderie are welcome to stop by up to three times for free and check it out.
Wa-Rite meets every Friday in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins are from 8:15-8:45 a.m. Meetings are from 9-10 a.m. Annual membership fee is $10. Weekly dues are 10 cents.

LW Anniversary
Jay and Connie Young celebrate 70 years
Jay and Connie Young were married on July 25, 1953. They met at the University of Redlands in 1951, where they both attended college. Jay was a star basketball player and Connie was the head song girl and cheerleader. Jay says the success of their marriage can be attributed to Connie insisting they have a dance, hug, kiss, and a laugh every day.
After they completed their advanced college work at California State University Long Beach and Jay’s tour in the army during the Korean War, they each began their teaching careers and have 65 years of teaching experience between them. Jay taught and coached varsity basketball for 35 years at Warren High School in Downey and Connie taught 30 years of first and second grade in Seal Beach and Long Beach. Connie retired in 1990 and Jay in 1992.
Connie and Jay have traveled the world together and have taken their three motor homes to every state with their kids. They have been to 36 national and state parks, traveled to 62 countries and taken 18 cruises. Boating and water skiing were a big part of their lives, going to the Colorado River most holidays and Bass Lake and Lake Shasta during the summers. They have traveled the country playing bridge and both have achieved life master status.
Connie’s main interests have been music, dancing and playing piano since childhood. She also enjoys reading and is active in a local book club. She has learned to beach start on a water ski. She plays in a golf group with Jay. She loved acting in plays in high school and college.
Jay was big into volleyball and played on a team that won the 1961 National Championship. He was selected to play on a USA volleyball team in the Pan American Games, but had to pass because of coaching responsibilities. He played 18 years of beach volleyball and loved playing golf.
They have three children and six grandchildren, who plan to help celebrate Jay and Connie’s anniversary in a cabin at Big Bear Lake. They have lived in Seal Beach since 1959, including 13 years in Leisure World. Jay and Connie have been active in choir and Jay is the vice president of the Art League.

Humanist Association
The LW Humanist Association will meet on Sunday, Aug. 6, in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, starting at 10:20 a.m. The guest speaker will be Bobbie Hamfeldt, who will give a presentation on organ, eye and tissue donation.
Shortly after retiring in 2010, Hamfeldt’s only child was killed in a tragic accident. Her grief journey has led her to take new paths in life to honor her son Erik and support causes that were important to him. In 2017, she trained to become a OneLegacy Ambassador, so she could help to spread the important message of organ donation, a cause that is very important to her.
Hamfeldt’s presentation will begin with an overview of donation, its impact on others and why it’s an important act to consider. She will also go over ways that people can participate in donation as a living donor and/or as a deceased donor. There are many myths that have been passed around regarding organ and tissue donation, and Hamfeldt will spend some time addressing these fallacies.
After the presentation, there will be time for questions, and people will be able to register to be a donor if they choose.

GAF Battery Recycling Event
The Golden Age Foundation’s (GAF) volunteer team collected over 560 pounds of batteries to recycle on July 18.
Residents brought their used household batteries to the Clubhouse 2 parking lot where volunteers collected, sorted and packed the batteries for shipment to the recycle facility.
There are still instances of residents who try to drop off car batteries and electronic devices or batteries after the scheduled event. The GAF volunteers seal the boxes for the FedEx delivery at noon and are unable to take more batteries after noon to make the delivery time. The GAF is unable to take any batteries other than household.
There will be another household battery collection event in four months. However, Leisure World residents can take their batteries (of all sizes), paints, cleaners, oils, pesticides that contain potentially hazardous ingredients, as well as E-waste such as televisions, tablets, cell phones and computers to the Orange County Waste and Recycling Facility for free all year long. The nearest facility is located in Huntington Beach, 8.5 miles from Leisure World, at 17121 Nichols Lane, Huntington Beach, CA 92647, Gate 6. It is open from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. For more information, call 714-834-4000.
The GAF thanks the residents of this community for their commitment to recycle as well and the volunteers who supported the battery recycle event.

GAF serves 375 residents
Golden Age Foundation volunteers braved the warm weather for a shredding event that served 375 residents on July 11.
The 10 volunteers worked hard to keep up with vehicles driving through to make the event run smoothly.
The drop and go method worked well for the event. Residents stayed in their cars while GAF volunteers retrieved the items to make it easier for everyone. The GAF will continue operating the shredding service with this method since it continues to work well.
The next shredding event will be held on Nov. 14.
The GAF thanks volunteers Carl Kennedy, Dave Forny, Ren Villanueva, Beth Greeley, Cheryl Falconer, Diana Lambert, Mike Turis and Anna Derby for their service at the event. The GAF also thanks Shery Wells and Fara Mccartney, who collected donations from residents.
The GAF would like to thank residents who donated generously to the foundation during the event.

Democratic Club
by Mary Larson
LW contributor
There are many months left to go before Leisure World residents will receive a vote-by-mail ballot from the Orange County Registrar of Voters. Nevertheless, the SBLW Democratic Club is already implementing plans designed to raise awareness about the importance of the 2024 Primary Election.
These club plans include: scheduling potential Democratic candidates as speakers at club meetings, helping Leisure Worlders understand how important their vote will be in local races and raising funds for candidates as well as voter outreach efforts.
The club’s “Get Out the Vote in 2024” task force is already organizing a neighbor-to-neighbor program. The goal will be to have a visible presence in every mutual. Volunteers will reach out to potential voters in their respective neighborhoods to stress the importance of voting in the primary election and offer assistance as needed.
The SBLW Democratic Club has also begun offering a monthly voter education program open to current and potential Democratic voters. The first session in July addressed how the Democratic Party functions at the local, county and state level. Future sessions will deal with details about down-ballot issues and candidates. Sessions on how to counter hateful rhetoric will also be offered. These sessions take place on the third Wednesday of the month in Clubhouse 3, Room 3, at 1 p.m.
Because of the importance of local elections, the club’s membership meetings will feature presentations by candidates such as Frances Marquez, who is running for a position on the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
Rep. Katie Porter, who is running to succeed Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate, will join the club’s August meeting via Zoom. Adam Schiff, another candidate running for the same position, joined club members by Zoom in June. The club is still attempting to schedule a session with Barbara Leem who is also running for the same position as Porter and Schiff.
There are several thousand registered voters in Leisure World. Whether or not they all vote in March primary and who they vote for may well play a significant role as to which candidates will be on the November General Election ballot.
The Democratic Club’s information and registration booth will be open again on Tuesday, Aug. 1, from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in the Clubhouse 6 parking lot. Democrats and potential supporters are invited to stop by the booth to get more information about the club or to register to vote.
Leisure World’s electronic bulletin boards now include a welcoming message from the LWSB Democratic Club.
LW Democrats are invited to subscribe to the club’s free electronic newsletter. This semi-monthly publication covers more in-depth reporting on issues and candidates. People do not need to be a club member to subscribe. To sign up, email mlarson.telfords@gmail.com or call 562-296-8521. It is important people include their full contact information, as well as party affiliation in the email.

‘An Inconvenient Truth’ to be screened
The Seniors For Peace Club’s next meeting will be on Thursday, Aug. 3, at 2 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. Former vice president Al Gore’s 2006 remarkable film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” will be shown.
This Academy Award-winning film presents an illustrated talk on climate by Al Gore, aimed at alerting the public to an increasing planetary emergency due to global warming. In 2006 the movie made headlines around the world, raising awareness of global warming and its predicted dire consequences for the planet and society, and 17 years later the film has proved to be very prescient.

Tournament Poker
On July 15, the Tournament Poker Club had another great tournament. Forty-five players on five tables means that the group is growing. The two players with the highest hands of the day were: Joyce Smith with a King high straight flush of spades, and close behind her was Cleo Looney with a Queen high straight flush of diamonds. The promotional hand was won by Nancy Floyd.
The final table players were Erika Greenwood, first place; Lee Pfeifer, second; Harry Sera, third; Shelley Yu, fourth; and Ernie Dinkel, fifth place. With five great players, there was plenty of action at the table right up until the head’s up play between Pfeifer and Greenwood. In the winning hand, Pfeifer went all in (K2) after the flop (3, 5, 6) and was called by Greenwood (K6). The turn card was an ace, and the river card was a 5. That gave Greenwood the winning hand of K-K-6-6-A.
Greenwood has lived in Leisure World for 27 years and has been a member of the club from the start. This was her fourth final table win. She is also a member of the Let the Good Times Roll Club. Greenwood enjoys playing Mexican Train Dominoes, bowling and fishing as well as poker.
Anyone who would like to play a fun and friendly game of Texas Hold ‘Em should plan on joining the club on Saturday, Aug. 5. Regular tournaments are on the first three Saturdays of every month in the lobby of Clubhouse 6. Registration begins at 10 a.m. and cards are in the air at 10:30. There is no late seating.

On July 15, 11 golfers competed at the 3,600-yard, par-60 Bixby Golf Course in Long Beach. Bixby is a nine-hole executive course with several water hazards and diabolically placed sand traps. The golfers were required to play the course twice to achieve 18 holes.
The weather was cool and initially overcast. Scores were excellent considering the so-so condition of the course. There were only two birdies, one each by Fujio Norihiro and Jim Goltra. Gary Stivers and Bob Munn tied for fewest putts for the ‘A’ and ‘B’ flights respectively. Norihiro was closest to the pin on the par-3 second hole and Chris Lankford was closest on the par-3 fifteenth.
A flight winners: Bill McKusky, at 9 under 51, first place; Clay Fischer at 2 under 58, second; Lankford, at 1 under 59, third; tie between Norihiro and Goltra at 2 over 62, fourth; tie between Stivers and Sam Choi, fifth.
B flight winners: Lowell Goltra at 8 under 52, first place; Munn, at 5 under 55, second; tie between Gene Vesely and Ron Jackson, at even par 60, third.
Monday Golf
On July 17, 14 golfers competed at the 5,800-yard, par-70 Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana. This course continues to be in great shape and helped
by some nice weather, the golfers scores were better than usual.
There were three birdies, one each by Fujio Norihiro, Bill McKusky, and Clay Fischer. Gary Stivers and Ron Jackson had fewest putts for the ‘A’
and ‘B’ flights respectively. McKusky was closest to the pin on the par-3 second hole and Gene Vesely was closest on the par-3 ninth.
A flight winners: Stivers, at 7 under 63, first place; McKusky, at 6 under 64, second; Fischer, at 5 under 65, third; Jim Goltra, at 4 under 66, fourth; tie between Norihiro, Sam Choi, and Chris Lankford, fifth.
B flight winners: Digna Vesely, 3 under 67, first place; tie between Lowell Goltra and Jackson, at 1 over 71, second; tie between Tom Ross and Bob Munn, third; tie between Gene Vesely and Daniel Mahoney, fourth.
The Monday and Friday Golf Leagues play at five local courses, all within 15-20 minutes of Leisure World. The courses the group plays are always quite full, so advance league reservations are required with a sign-up sheet available at each round.
There is a prize pool for each round. Players are not obligated to enter. Rewards are given for low net in each flight, birdies, closest-to-the-pin on two par threes, and for the fewest number of putts in each flight. Holes-in-one and eagles (2
under par), although infrequent, are generously rewarded. For more information, contact Gary Stivers at 714-313-3697
or Dave LaCascia at 801-674-5975.

Men’s Golf Club
The Leisure World Men’s Golf Club played its first July tournament on July 12 on the Turtle Lake Golf Course.
Two groups of three flights of variously skilled golfers played for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), plus four circle holes (shots within a 5-foot radius are rewarded) and two closest-to-the-pin challenges.
This round there were only seven circle hole winners. Closest to the pin on the first hole was Gene Archambault, and on the 10th hole was club treasurer Byron Schweitzer. Low net score was Bill Long, at 7 under 47, followed by James Farr and Mark Tall at 6 under 48, with four other golfers at 49.
All winning scores below are net.
A flight winners (handicaps of 0-7): Long, first place;
Dong Kim, second; Archambault, third; Ron Steele, fourth; tie between Bob Turner, Thomas Kim, Young Lee and Rolando Ramirez, fourth.
B flight winners (handicaps of 8-12): Farr, first place; tie between Jun Sup Yoon and Ron Jackson, second; Dale Williamson, third; Don Roberson, fourth; Dennis McMonigle, fifth; Won Song, sixth; Richard Yokomi, seventh.
C flight winners (handicaps of 13-18): Mark Tall, first
place; Daniel Mahoney, second; Darry Holten, third; Ben
Benjamins, fourth; tie between Sam Williamson and club treasurer Byron Schweitzer, fifth.
