GRF is turning off sprinklers on non-functional turf
California is in a record-breaking drought with 2022 being the driest year on record so far. The state’s worsening conditions prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to proclaim a Drought Emergency last month, triggering regulations requiring all urban water suppliers to escalate ongoing water conservation efforts.
At the Presidents’ Council meeting July 7, the City of Seal Beach alerted the Golden Rain Foundation and Mutual officials that the watering of non-functional and purely ornamental turf must immediately cease, in addition to other restrictions.
That means the GRF has turned off sprinklers watering grass that is purely decorative in all Trust areas.
Non-functional turf defined as a ground cover surface of mowed grass that is ornamental and not otherwise used for human recreation purposes. It does not include school fields, sports fields and areas regularly used for civic or community events, according to the State Water Resources Control Board.
So the ban does not apply to the LW Golf Course and the picnic areas, both of which are being watered, according to GRF Facilities Director Mark Weaver.
There is also an exemption for irrigation of trees to keep them healthy. The GRF has already directed gardeners to begin hand-watering Trust trees.
Mutual officials are now determining what areas they must stop watering in their neighborhoods.
The State Water Board rules also required local water suppliers statewide to activate Level 2 of their local contingency plans to prepare for target water reductions of up to 20%.
To meet Level 2 water restrictions, Seal Beach has limited residential watering schedules to three days a week and implemented the following water use restrictions that apply at all times:
• The watering of landscaping and all other vegetated areas is prohibited between 6 a.m.-6 p.m. and is limited to no more than 15 minutes per station per day. Drip irrigation and hand watering are exempt.
• Do not water lawns and landscaping while it’s raining or for 48 hours after measurable rainfall.
• Do not allow excessive water flow or runoff onto sidewalks, driveway, street, alley or gutter when watering lawns, landscaping and vegetated areas.
• Plumbing system leaks must be immediately fixed.
• Do not hose or wash down hard or paved surfaces such as sidewalks, gutters, driveways, patios, pool decks, parking areas, tennis courts and alleys, except to alleviate immediate fire or sanitation hazards.
• Wash vehicles with a bucket and/or hose with a positive shut-off hose nozzle. This includes cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, boats, or trailers. The LW car wash at Clubhouse 2 uses recycled water.
The emergency regulation will remain in effect for one year, unless the State Water Board modifies it, readopts it or ends it before then.
LWer is given Press Photographers Lifetime Achievement Award
The Press Photographers Association of Greater Los Angeles (PPAGLA) recently awarded Joanna Matos, 92, the Lifetime Achievement Award, the group’s highest honor. Founded in 1936, the organization comprises over 400 broadcast and print photojournalists whose news images are seen worldwide. Matos had a humble beginning as the only staff photographer at the La Habra Daily Star Progress (1971) and became a PPAGLA member in 1976. A true trendsetter, she broke the glass ceiling decades before the term was even coined, becoming the first woman vice president (1978), president (1979) and chairman (1980).
She was the first woman allowed in the Anaheim Angel’s locker room when Nolan Ryan threw a no-hitter. She wasn’t really “allowed”—she just went in with the male photographers, doing her job.
“My sports editor assigned me to cover an evening Angels baseball game at Anaheim Stadium,” said Matos. “In the 1970s, we used only black and white film and with the low and irregular lighting at stadiums, I had to “push” my 400 speed film to 1600 in the darkroom. “The big event was to shoot pitcher Nolan Ryan throwing his fast ball, which was being monitored by Rockwell International. I remember his speed—107 miles per hour. After the game, the media crowded around Ryan with radio questions and cameras whirling.
“Ryan got word that Gene wanted to see him. Gene was Gene Autry, owner of the Angels and of Channel 5 KTLA. All the media followed Ryan down a long tunnel to a room where Autry extended his hand in congratulations.
“My motorized Nikon camera could shoot nine pictures in four seconds. I used a 36 frame roll of film of the same handshake. Hooting and hollering began, and someone said, ‘What’s that gal doing in here?’ The Angels’ PR man came over and asked me if I got my assignment and asked me to follow him, not looking left or right, up to the media lounge for a drink. He said I was a pro. I was the first female in the locker room, and he had no qualms about the situation.
“All bleep bleep broke loose. The next day, there was an LA Times Sports column. Hate mail from male chauvinists came in. But my editor said, ‘Good girl. This is the most publicity our newspaper has received.’
“The LA Times sent a reporter out to interview me and, long story short, when she asked why I did what I did, I said, ‘I wasn’t there to play peek a boo, I was on assignment, the same as the men photographers! And, after all, I know what the male anatomy looks like, I raised two sons.’ A nice photo and a four-inch column story appeared in the LA Times of me in the most professional way.
“Soon after, I received an 8xl0 glossy black and white photo of Nolan Ryan and Gene Autry with their autographs. Ryan signed ‘Peek a boo, Joanna.’ Autry signed ‘All my best.’”
“At the next home game, during the 7th inning stretch, up in the media box, I was awarded a first female in the locker room certificate plus a fancy black satin eye shade with lots of applause from my fellow shooters.”
Matos was also one of the first women photojournalists to cover USC football. At the USC vs. Notre Dame football game, quarterback Pat Hayden couldn’t find a receiver and ran off the sidelines. He missed the male photographers but broadsided Joanna. Hayden helped Joanna up and apologized. The coliseum announcer publicly voiced his opinion saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, that’s why women should not be allowed on the field.”
He could not have been more wrong.
Later in her career, Matos joined the PPAGLA and quickly rose to become the organization’s first female president in 1979. Mayor Tom Bradley attended her installation dinner, and she was interviewed by newscaster Johnny Grant of KTLA and UPI’s Ernie Sch work about what it was like to be at the helm of an all men’s organization.
Joanna later went to work as the media photojournalist for Knott’s Berry Farm and retired in 1990.
She brings an infectious enthusiasm to everything she does for the PPAGLA and her passion for the group continues. She was a key factor for the success of the Past Presidents and Retired Members Scholarship Fund, which she helped initiate over 30 years ago. When Joanna was asking for contributions for the scholarship fund, members just couldn’t say no.
Through her humble and professional demeanor, Matos paved the way for future female photojournalists. “Joanna has been an inspiration to me and the other women in our group. There are still very few of us, but Joanna paved the way and helped make it possible. Giving her the Lifetime Achievement Award was the highlight of my presidency,” said outgoing PPAGLA President Amy Gaskin. “She is a shining example of class, determination, kindness, and professionalism and she embodies the spirit of this award.”
—Amy Gaskin, outgoing president of the Press Photographers Association of Greater Los Angeles

Water Conservation FAQs
Editor’s Note: Iris Lee, the deputy public works director for the City of Seal Beach, answers questions LW residents have regarding the State Water Board’s water conservation emergency regulation adoption (see page 1 for more information). They were compiled to help Leisure World and the city better navigate this effort together. The state may modify the interpretations at any time. The city update information as it becomes available.
Question: How do I know if the turf is functional or non-functional?
Answer: The state generally defines non-functional turf as ornamental grass that is not used for human recreation purposes. As this definition can be interpreted in various ways, we rely on Leisure World representatives to define where those functional vs. non-functional turf areas are. You know your home best. For example, if residents use a common grass area for regular social gatherings, it may be considered functional and may be irrigated under current state regulations.
The city can help guide but does not dictate how turf is or will be used in Leisure World.
This leniency provided by the state is not intended to provide a loophole but to stress the value in a collaborative, good faith effort.
Question: How do I water trees that are on the same irrigation system as non-functional turf?
Answer: We highly recommend checking with your landscaper to discuss how the irrigation system is programmed. Generally speaking, if the trees are irrigated on the same station/system as non-functional turf and cannot be separated, measures should be taken to keep the trees properly irrigated, even if that means watering the non-functional turf in the immediate vicinity of the tree. Alternatively, hand watering may be an option if your landscaper feels it is an appropriate irrigation means for the trees.
Question: If Leisure World hits the target reduction of 20%, does that mean conservation requirements (i.e., non-functional turf irrigation) can be waived?
Answer: No. Water conservation is still required even if target reductions are met. Exceeding target reductions not only helps with local water supply, but also regionally and statewide. If everybody meets or exceeds this Level 2 goal, we may be able to avoid further water shortage level escalation (i.e., Level 3).
Question: Where can I direct my landscaper to find practical water saving tips?
Answer: The State Water Board and the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) are great resources for water efficiency and conservation tips. As an added option, the City of Seal Beach can arrange for one of its experts to meet with landscapers to discuss viable alternatives.
• State Water Board – Save Our Water: https://saveourwater.com/
•MWDOC: https://www.mwdoc.com/save-water/water-use-efficiency/
Question: Where can we report water waste violations?
Answer: It would be most desirable to communicate drought severity and water conservation needs through educational means, then work collectively to meet the goal. As a last resort, water waste may be reported to the State Water Board at https://savewater.ca.gov/.
CERT Training Offered
The City of Seal Beach, the Seal Beach Police Department, and the West County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) team will host a CERT training class beginning in September.

Tsunami escape routes updated
The California Geological Survey (CGS) has released a new tsunami hazard area map for Orange County, useful for evacuation planning in an extraordinary event.
The map allows users to type in an address to determine whether the property is within a tsunami hazard area. Local tsunami evacuation material will be added to the online map interface as it is developed.
Working with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), these Tsunami Hazard Area maps include new data and improved computer modeling results and replace maps published by CGS in 2009. The new maps are based on how far inland a surge of seawater might go in a worst-case scenario and include minor inland “buffers” to roads and landmarks to clarify where people must evacuate to be safe. These buffer areas also account for potential errors and uncertainties in the modeling.
While the new map for Orange County takes a variety of potential tsunami sources into account, the worst-case scenario would result from a magnitude 9.3 earthquake in the eastern Aleutian Islands.
The City of Seal Beach is a Tsunami Ready Community. This is a national certification issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS). To be recognized as a Tsunami Ready Community, there are a variety of criteria that must be met. They are:
• Establish a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center.
• Have more than one way to receive tsunami warnings and alert the public.
• Promote public readiness through community education and distribution of information.
• Develop a formal tsunami plan, which includes holding emergency exercises.
• Comply with TsunamiReady guidelines.
In partnership with Cal OES, NOAA, and Chapman University the Tsunami Evacuation Map located at a kiosk at the base of the pier will be updated in the next few weeks with the updated map (above) as well as a second kiosk installed in the First Street Beach lot.
The maps will also be made available at https://sealbeachpd.com/emergency-preparedness/.
Seal Beach Police Sgt. Brian Gray, the city’s emergency services coordinator, oversees emergency management for the city.
Emergency management is dealing with and avoiding disasters. Disasters can be natural, such as earthquakes, floods, and severe storms, or man-made, such as major transportation accidents, fires, and terrorism. Regardless of the cause of the disaster, emergency management is intended to be comprehensive to prepare for, mitigate, respond to, and recover from any disaster.
There are four phases of emergency management that make up the “emergency life cycle”: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. These phases represent the various elements of a disaster. All phases are interconnected, and everyone has responsibilities in all four phases. For more information about emergency preparedness, contact Sgt. Gray at (562) 799-4100, ext. 1658, or bgray@sealbeachca.gov.

Wall Warts – Thieves Within The Night
by Gordon Smith
LW contributor
Ever wonder what those unconnected power adapters sitting in your wall outlet are costing you?
First of all, they are referred to in a derogatory sense as “wall-warts” because they often cover up the adjacent socket and make it unusable. No useful work is being done by them except to heat your house, and their energy would not be dissipated if the wall wart was not plugged in.
The actual quantity is small, amounting to a few cents per week at most. But I have lots of them. That got me to wonder what it costs me to have my TV box and its associated Internet router running 24/7.
Wow! One runs at 36 watts, the other at 30 watts.
With SCE charging me 25 cents per kilowatt-hour, that pencils costs me about $11.90 per month. That is not good for my wallet or the environment.
That led me to then figure the cost of the Interact box and the wireless access point that Interact Solutions will install in our buildings to replace all those other units.
I had the opportunity of test driving it last month. It was $3.97 a month! Holy Cow! I’ll save $8 per month on top of getting a bulk TV rate discount and low cost high speed Internet service. Yes, change is hard but the environment, my wallet and my wall sockets are going to be thanking me.

Letters to the Editor
Editor:
Regarding issues discussed by Margo Wheeler and Susan Smith (July 14), I also notice the difficulty communicating with my Mutual’s board via phone and email.
Most shareholders’ legitimate issues can’t wait for monthly board meetings. Plus, the turnaround time after sending communications is frequently days, if at all.
Often, timeliness is of essence. Experiencing this, shareholders then reluctantly resort to knocking on board members’ doors, etc.
I moved to LW last year. Because of my background in finance and HOA boards, I’ve been urged twice by a Mutual board member to run for office. Susan Smith’s letter convinced me to forget that idea for now. And now I understand why not enough shareholders ran for available board positions this year.
I’d love to help my Mutual troubleshoot these issues and forge solutions (I have ideas).

It appears that Security at the Main Gate has a new electronic information system that they don’t know how to use.
On July 8, I was expecting a small company to do some work on my place in Mutual 4. I notified Security of the name of the leader of the group and the name of the company about three hours in advance. When they arrived, they were not admitted and Security personnel said there was no record on the board of my name or their names. They were turned away.
On July 9, I was expecting my nephew and his son who were driving down from Hayward in the bay area. Again, I called Security on its direct line, gave them my name, the name of my guest and the approximate time I expected them. When my nephew arrived at 9 p.m., having driven (I suspect) 500 miles, he was also told that his name was not on the board, and they had nothing under my name.
My nephew called me from the parking lot, and I proceeded to the Security office, where I was met with no help at all, or if anything, a defensive and hostile posture. I finally got my nephew and his son in after a long delay and no help from the on-duty staff.

Editor:
For the past couple of years, an American flag and a Trump flag have been displayed on a flagpole at the corner of Del Monte Drive and McKinney Way. Now, the Trump flag has been replaced with a yellow flag that says, “Don’t Tread On Me.” At first, I assumed that it was the Gadsden flag, which has been popularized by the Republican Tea Party movement and adopted by MAGA Trump supporters.
When I got a better look at the flag, I could see that instead of the coiled rattlesnake of the traditional Gadsden flag, it had the image of a fetus.
For women who have had a natural miscarriage or an abortion, seeing the image of a fetus on this flag, is like a knife in the heart. The display of this flag is an assault on women.
The right of HOA residents to display political flags and signs is protected by the First Amendment and Davis-Stirling. This includes the right to display political flags of hate.
There has always been hate in Leisure World. But since the Trump presidency, there has been a significant increase in the open displays of hate here.
The rights of this resident to display this hateful and offensive flag are protected under the law and there is nothing I can do to have it removed. But I can express my outrage and disgust at the display of this flag.

Editor:
Regarding a recent letter (July 7) that claimed Obama did “nothing” about gun control during his eight years in office, the writer seems to have forgotten McConnell’s commitment not to pass anything Obama proposed.
Obama was anguished when the GOP Senate refused to pass meaningful gun control after Sandy Hook, and Obama thought his executive order to limit gun purchases for those with mental illness would be upheld but the subsequent GOP POTUS rescinded it soon after he took office.
The first two years of Obama’s terms were pretty much taken up trying to pass the Affordable Care Act, which the GOP tried to rescind over 60 times and still talks of doing precisely that, even though the GOP enjoys the benefits of ACA.
That’s not “nothing.”

She has lived alone with minimal care for most of her life. She does not wear glasses, has never been in a hospital except to visit others, has her original teeth, reads the daily Long Beach Press-Telegram and works a crossword puzzle every day.
She prides herself on her regular manicures and pedicures.
Seena was born in Washington Heights, New York, and watched the George Washington Bridge being built in 1927. At 15, she settled in Long Beach.
In the 1940s, she met her husband-to-be at her job in Los Angeles. He was immediately smitten with her, and the couple married in 1947.
She was widowed in 1978 and never had children. After working for 35 years as the administrator for Long Beach Temple Beth Shalom, Seena retired at 78 years old.
Seena has 24 nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews, great- grand nieces and nephews and one great-great-grand nephew, some who live in Leisure World and others, in the area.

This week’s Torah reading is “Pinchas,” Numbers 28:16-30:1, is a continuation of last week’s cliffhanger reading. Last week the ending verses recounted the murder of an Israeli man, Zimri, and a Midianite princess, Cosbi, by a religious zealot, Pinchas.
The Midianite prophet, Bilaam, after failing to curse the Israelites, suggested to the Moabite king, Balak, that a good way to bring harm to the people, was to send beautiful Midianite and Moabite women into the Israelite camp, seduce the men and entice them to worship an idol before consummating their relationships. The plan worked and HaShem sent a plague that wiped out 24,000 Israelites. Zimri and Cosbi flaunted themselves on the grounds of the Tabernacle in front of Moses and the Kohanim. Pinchas, in a fit of rage, drove a spear through both of them. This week, Beit Halev will learn the result of Pinchas’ murderous act.
All Beit HaLev services use special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.” Printed versions of the prayerbooks will be available for sale at in-person services.
Beit HaLev and Rabbi Galit-Shirah are part of the Union of Jewish Universalist Clergy and Communities. It is progressive in thought and traditional in liturgy. Everyone who seeks a path to the Divine is welcome, and Beit Halev doesn’t believe in labels.

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. 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
Pastor Gary Whitlatch will bring the message this week from 1 Corinthians, Chapter 1. He will give an overview of why this letter was written, the problems that arise in churches and the gifts and working of the Holy Spirit in believer’s lives. Paul the apostle discovers that quarrels were causing division in the church amidst members. They were putting emphasis on who had been baptized into the faith rather than paying attention to the words of Christ. Paul reminded the church that following Christ is not according to the practices of men, but the wisdom from God. Boasting and claiming superior knowledge is foolish in God’s eyes.
There have been many men within that proclaim a superior truth, then a generation or two later evidence proves the depths of their shortsightedness. Putting trust in man is unstable footing for any church.
In the last verse, Paul reminds the church of Corinth that it is written in Jeremiah 9:23 to “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
Weekend Services
Sunday services from 9:30-10:45 a.m. are traditional, with hymnal music led by Pat Kogak at the piano. This week, Janet Ray will sing a special selection.

Sermon for this week: There was a song on the charts in 1971 with lyrics that went, “Mr. Big Stuff, who do you think you are?” It is a dangerous thing when one starts abusing power and taking authority in areas in which they have no business. Dangerous, indeed, when one is also acting in ways that are contrary to God’s blueprint for leadership. Join Pastor Chuck as he begins his series “The Legacy of the Kings,” beginning with King Jeroboam, from 1 Kings 12:25-33.
Bible Study: “Wild Places,” by George DeJong, is a video series filmed in the Holy Land. The locations help illuminate the teaching of navigating the wild, rough places in life.

Community Church
Community Church will hold services on Sunday, July 24, at 9:50 a.m.
Pastor Johan Dodge will deliver a message titled “Freedom to Party.” As COVID-19 cases rise in Orange County, many people may feel it is not a time to party. This message is not meant to be flippant or encourage irresponsibility. Rather, the party aspect of the message comes from the new kingdom that Jesus has come to usher in. Which begs the question, have believers lived up to the task? Are faith communities places in which people are free to be who God created them to be, or free to “party?” Or are faith communities places where people are trapped in legalism and judgment? Community Church will wrestle with these questions as a community this Sunday.
Community Church is often called “the friendly church” and welcomes people of all backgrounds. It invites new people to come early for a cup of coffee before worship to get a feel for the community and stay for award-winning music and a powerful message.
Due to COVID cases rising, people who want to attend the in-person worship service must provide proof of vaccination and wear masks.
Entrances to the church may be found both at the front of the church and the pedestrian gate between the church and the shops.
Those who are in need without another way to address it can call the church office line at (562) 431-2503.

The flight winners were:
Flight A: Low gross: Devora Kim, 26; low net: Judy Kim, 22; birdies: Devora Kim, holes No. 1 and 2; Jee Choi and Stella Yoon, hole No. 2; Lisa Kim, hole No. 6; Judy Kim and Jane Song, hole No. 8.

Men’s Golf Tournament
The first Leisure World Men’s Golf Club Tournament of the month was held on July 13. Three groups of three flights of variously skilled golfers vied for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), plus two circle holes (shots within a 5-foot radius are rewarded) and two closest to the pin challenges. The Turtle Lake Golf Course is a 1,658-yard, 18-hole, par-54 course that tests all who play.
Scores and winners will not be available until later in July. Results will be published when available. For this and the next two tournaments, only general results will be noted.
A total of 55 golfers teed off and played 18 holes. The morning was cool and overcast with little wind until mid-round. The wind stiffened later, and it warmed up nicely. The greens still have numerous weed patches, and the lack of dirt-based divot-fix repair material is slowly turning the once well-kept tees into sand traps.
There were only nine circle holes winners and 39 birdies. Closest to the pin on the hole No. 2 was Mike Mayfield, and on hole No. 11 there was a tie between Dennis McMonigle and Ryan Hong. The lowest gross score was carded by Bill Lyons and James Farr at 51 and the lowest net score was Jack Haskins at 48.
All golfers are responsible for their own tee box divots and ball marks on the greens. Golfers are asked to repair their own marks, plus one more.
The next men’s tournament will be held on July 27, and then every second and fourth Wednesday of the following months. Those who had planned to play in a tournament and need to cancel should contact Alan Sewell at (541) 324-8558 or Dave LaCascia at (801) 674-5975 as soon as possible. Golfers should arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the scheduled tee time and be ready to play.

Pool League Results
Registration now is open on a first-come, first-serve basis for the Leisure World Pool Club’s fall season weekly pool league.
League play will begin on Monday, Sept. 12, at 6 p.m. in Clubhouse 2 through December. Prior to start of the season, players will be assigned an “A,” “B”’ or “C” ranking based on number of the previous season’s single game wins. Anyone new to league play will need to play a couple of audition games with one of the club’s officers to determine an appropriate skill level.
Those who want to register but are concerned about being able to play every week can still register. The league needs a “deep bench” substitute roster for filling in when one of the regular players can not attend.
During the season, each A,B,C three-person team will play a total of 13 games every Monday night. Each week’s match consists of doubles and singles 8-ball and 3,6,9, 9-ball games. A final three-person 8-ball game rounds out the evening, assuring the night does not end in a tie. Running scores are posted each week on the Clubhouse 2 bulletin board.
In order to participate in the upcoming weekly Pool Club league, players and substitutes must be members of the club. Annual club dues is $10 and will be carried forward through renewal date of Nov. 1, and into fall 2023.

Men’s Golf July 8 and 11
On July 8, 16 golfers of the Leisure World Golf League contested in two flights the 5,600-yard, par-70 Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana. It was pleasant but overcast at the start of the round. The course has been well maintained with tees, fairways and greens in very good condition. Riverview runs down the middle of the Santa Ana riverbed with many sand traps, small greens, significant elevation changes, and numerous water hazards. The golfers enjoy the course, and it is a challenge for all players. Eight of the 16 scores were at or under par, and the course yielded eight birdies.
All scores are net (gross minus handicap). A Flight handicaps are 0-19, while B Flight handicaps are 20 and over.
A Flight: First place: Bill McKusky, a terrific 8 under 62, plus closest to the pin on the 140-yard, par-3 hole No. 2; second: tie between Jim Goltra, with a birdie and fewest putts, and Dave LaCascia, a well-played 5 under 65; third: Larry Hillhouse, a nice 2 under 69; fourth: Gary Stivers, a good even par 70; sixth: tie between Chris Lankford, with three birdies, Fujio Norihiro, Clay Fischer, with a birdie, Sam Choi, and Mark Mallet, with a birdie.
B Flight: First place: Gene Vesely, a super 8 under 62, plus two birdies and fewest putts; second: Tom Ross, a hard-earned 1 under 69; third: tie between Lowell Goltra and Ron Jackson, at even par 70; fourth: Bob Munn and Digna Vesely, at 2 over 72.
On July 11, eleven golfers of the Leisure World Golf League challenged the 5,800-yard par 70 Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach. It was overcast throughout the round and windy during the last few holes. Fortunately, the course is in good condition, although somewhat heavily watered overnight causing the early morning golfers some club selection and putting challenges.
Meadowlark has numerous sand traps, undulating greens, significant elevation changes on the back 9, and large water hazards. The golfers appreciate the consistently good playing environment making it enjoyable for all players. With the good conditions five of the 11 scores were at or under par but the course yielded only two birdies.
A Flight: First place: Gary Stivers, a terrific 3 under 67, second: Dave LaCascia, a well-played 2 under 68, with a birdie, plus closest to the pin on the 140-yard par 3 seventh hole; third: Bill McKusky, a hard fought 1 under 69, plus fewest putts; fourth: Clay Fischer, a nice even par 70, plus a birdie; fifth: Fujio Norihiro, 1 over 71; sixth: Jim Goltra, 2 over 72; seventh: tie between Sam Choi, and Gene Vesely.
B Flight: First place: Bob Munn, at even par 70, and fewest putts; second: Digna Vesely; third: Lowell Goltra.
The Monday and Friday Golf Leagues play at four local courses, all within 15–20 minutes of Leisure World. The courses the group plays are often full, so advance reservations are available via a sign-up sheet at each round.
There is a prize pool for each round that players are not obligated to enter. Rewards are given for low net and fewest putts in each flight, birdies and closest to the pin on two par-3 holes. holes-in-one and eagles (2 under par), although infrequent, are generously rewarded.

LW Birthdays
Violet celebrates 99 years with friends and family
Nearly 40 guests attended Violet Schwabenland’s 99th birthday party in Mutual 6 on July 1. The party included a barbecue, concert and games. While all four teams were close in score, Team Pink pulled ahead decisively with the fastest time on the martini relay. The relay required team members to carry an oversized martini glass to their other team members while gripping a balloon between their knees. The winners waddled to victory without spilling the “martini” or dropping the balloon.
Team Yellow performed a perfect, penalty-free score on the relay, choosing to distinguish themselves with quality over speed. Evelyn Scherber of Mutual 8 produced a near perfect score for Team Blue in the putting competition, and Team Purple brought in the highest score on the corn hole toss.
Peter Hyon’s beautiful baritone accompanied the Lemon Tart Trio who were assisted by Terry Otte and Jim Long of Abilene for a fun-filled tribute to Violet.

Democratic Club
by Mary Larson
LW contributor
LW Democrats should be aware that their club meetings will take place on a new date and time, beginning immediately. The first meeting under this new schedule will be on the fourth Wednesday of the month, July 27, at 1 p.m.
This will be an in-person meeting in Clubhouse 3, Room 9, if technical problems can be resolved before July 27. The meeting will also be accessible via Zoom. The goal of the club’s board is to provide an opportunity for all members to participate, those who feel comfortable meeting face-to-face indoors as well as for those who don’t.
Detailed information about this first hybrid meeting, as well as the Zoom login information, will be emailed to subscribers of the club’s newsletter. It will also be posted on the club’s website. Members can call (562) 412-0898 with questions concerning the meeting.
The speaker for the next meeting will be Mariann Klinger. Her presentation is titled “Patriarchal Power Grab: Still Alive and Thriving” and will center around issues of concern to Leisure World Democrats and supporters. Of special interest to members will be California’s response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Klinger is a resident in Leisure World and a member of the Democratic Club. She spent many years as a reporter on a number of Northern California newspapers. During that period, she gained the reputation for always reporting the truth. She is currently serving as District 5 representative on the Seal Beach Planning Commission.

A proposed “School Choice” initiative designed to be voted on in the fall has failed to get enough signatures to qualify for the November General Election. This initiative would have created an annual $14,000 per student Education Savings Account for all parents of children enrolled in private or religious schools, regardless of the family’s income. Funding for the proposed initiative would have had to come from California’s General Fund and property taxes. There will be seven other state-wide propositions on the November ballot.
•••
Weather permitting, the SBLW Democratic Club’s Information and Hospitality Booth will be open in the parking lot outside Clubhouse 6 from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. every Tuesday through September. The booth will be open on both Tuesdays and Thursdays during October.
For more in-depth reporting about plans for the upcoming General Election, as well as information about the club’s programs for the coming months, LW Democrats and no preferred party supporters can subscribe to the club’s newsletter.
This electronic newsletter is published twice a month. There is no charge for subscribing. Email democraticclubsblw@gmail.com or call editor Mary Larson at (562) 296-8521. People are asked to include their full name, address and phone number, as well as party affiliation when signing up.
Republican Club
by Brian Harmon
LW contributor
The LW Republican Club has traditionally tried to focus on basic principles as they apply today. These include the following:
1. Constitution—original intent
2. Equal rights for everyone
3. Stable and growing economy
4. Fiscally responsible government
5. Support for law enforcement
6. Secure borders
7. Foreign policy based on America first
8. A strong military
9. Quality education
10. Pro-life
Although it is not always possible to determine the particular views of those who ratified the Constitution, it often is possible. For example, the constitution specifically gives Congress the power to build roads but does not mention airports. However, the founders clearly did not intend to prohibit Congress from funding the building of airports.
A stable and growing economy means a low inflation rate and a low unemployment rate. History shows that the economy always moves up and down in cycles. Economic policy can, however, reduce the severity of these cycles by preventing inflation from getting out of control and resorting to expansionary policies only when unemployment is too high. Expansionary policies include decreasing taxes and increasing government spending, plus having the Federal Reserve increase the money supply to lower interest rates.
Long term, a growing economy also requires a free enterprise for a capitalistic system.
Having a stable economy requires fiscal responsibility. Fiscal responsibility means restraining government spending to keep inflation under control through conservative fiscal and monetary policy.
Support for law enforcement does not mean looking the other way when police officers commit criminal acts against civilians, however law enforcement does need the financial and moral support of the population in order to protect the public.
The idea of secure borders means enforcing the laws regarding immigration, to control the number of people coming into the country.
America First means promoting America’s interest throughout the world. It can mean preventing strong, aggressive countries like Russia and China from attacking and taking over other countries. It also means attacking terrorist groups or anyone else who threatens America, no matter where they are.
Protecting America requires having a strong military.
Quality education means having standard requirements for students and teachers, and teaching knowledge rather than political propaganda. It also requires putting the interests of parents and students above those of public employee unions.
The pro-life position of the club is to seek policies that reduce the number of abortions. Some members believe that all abortions should be prohibited.
•••
The information and hospitality booth will resume full operation in August. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month.

Seena Friedland
One month shy of 100 years old, 20-year Leisure World resident Seena Friedland of Mutual 4 passed peacefully on June 23.
As an active member of the Leisure World community, Seena enjoyed playing bingo and Mahjong and was very close with her family members who also lived in Leisure World (at one point, there were 11 family members).
Even though Seena never had kids, she had 13 nieces and nephews in her life, three of whom are still living in Leisure World: Randy Miller, Shari Young and David Friedland, plus Marsha McRae, her brother’s only child.
Seena always looked forward to family get-togethers. Mere weeks before she passed away, she attended a family party where her grand-nephew Jered “interviewed” her about her early life living in New York City. Still sharp as a tack, she recounted being born and raised in New York and even described watching the George Washington bridge being built as she walked to school each day. When asked what she did for fun, Seena reminisced about selling war bonds in posh Manhattan restaurants (which she said, she did very well).
Seena drove her car well into her 90s, and never spent a single night in a hospital in her 99 years.
In addition to her being active in non-profit organizations such as the City of Hope, Hadassah and the Jewish Federation, Seena worked at Temple Beth Shalom for 35 years as its executive director.
She loved all the glitter in life, and she wore it well!
May she rest in peace.

Robert L. Lynch
1918-2022
On July 13, Robert L. Lynch passed away peacefully at the age of 103. Bob will always be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, on Aug. 29, 1918, and was the only son of Charles and Nellie Lynch. His two sisters, Dorothy and Lillian, are both deceased.
Bob married Rosalie on Aug. 31, 1941, and they had two daughters, Rita Farnsworth and Patricia Hamm. Their family grew and included four grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, including a set of triplets.
Bob loved to travel and be with his family, especially for the holidays and special family events and celebrations. He was also known as the best “cheerleader” for anything his family was involved in.
Services have been scheduled starting on Thursday, July 28, at Luyben Dilday Mortuary in Long Beach for the Visitation and Rosary from 4-8 p.m. The Rosary will be at 7 p.m. The Funeral Mass will be on Friday, July 29, at Holy Family Church, Leisure World, at 10 a.m. The Internment and luncheon for all will follow at All Souls Cemetery in Long Beach.
