Calling All Photographers
The LW Weekly will produce a 2022 wall calendar featuring the work of Leisure World photographers in time for the holidays.
The deadline is Oct. 1. Contributors should submit large, high-resolution, 300 dpi images in landscape format of places and spaces in and around Leisure World and Seal Beach. Photos of people are not eligible.
Cell phone photos should be emailed in the “actual” or “original” size format. Email entries to stephenb_news@lwsb.com with name, address, phone number and a brief description of the photo. For information on technical requirements, call (562) 431-6586, ext. 392.
The calendar will be delivered to every unit free of charge. Additional copies will cost $1.50.
Construction Alert
Drivers should proceed with caution as lanes are intermittently narrowed to accommodate the demolition of a sound wall there.
On Sept. 14, crews started removing a portion of the sound wall adjacent to North Gate Road as part of the I-405 Improvement Project.
The work will continue for about three weeks. Equipment may be mobilized as early as 6 a.m., and some work will be conducted from 9 p.m.-6 a.m. Sound blankets have been installed to mitigate noise.
Preparedness is crucial in earthquake country
A magnitude 4.3 earthquake centered near Carson shook much of Los Angeles County and could be felt across the Southern California region, including Leisure World, on Sept. 17 at 7:58 p.m.
Residents in coastal communities like Long Beach, along with people living in South Los Angeles, felt the heaviest undulation of the quake, according to a United States Geological Survey map.
The earthquake, which struck at a depth of about 9 miles, also was felt as far north as Oxnard and south into Carlsbad, the USGS said.
No one was reported injured in this quake, but it is a reminder that they strike without warning and can be disastrous.
Being prepared for such an emergency can reduce fear, anxiety and, potentially, the losses that often accompany them.
The first step in preparedness is to have an emergency plan and supplies. LW residents will be responsible for their own safety and well-being before, during and after any disaster or emergency.
LW has several groups dedicated to emergency preparedness, including:
Emergency Information Council
The Emergency Information Council meets monthly to educate and inform residents about planning and preparing for any emergency, large or small. Meetings are open to all shareholders. Meetings are publicized in the LW Weekly.
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations.
Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhoods or workplaces following an event when professional responders are not immediately available.
CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects. Classes are held in six-week sessions and publicized in the LW Weekly.
Organizing a Disaster Supply Grab-and-Go Kit
It may be easier and cheaper than you think to organize household disaster supplies in convenient locations. This is not just about having a to-go kit. Include supplies specific to you, such as medications, eyeglasses, clothing, shoes, toiletries and more. This is in addition to the basic supplies everyone should have (water, food, first-aid, flashlight, radios).
To assemble the kit, store items in airtight plastic bags and put your entire disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers such as plastic bins or a duffel bag.
According to ready.gov, a basic emergency supply kit should include the following items:
• Water (one gallon per person per day for several days, for drinking and sanitation)
• Food (at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food)
• Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert
• Flashlight
• First aid kit
• Extra batteries
• Whistle (to signal for help)
• Dust mask (to help filter contaminated air)
• Plastic sheeting and duct tape (to shelter in place)
• Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties (for personal sanitation)
• Wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities)
• Manual can opener (for food)
• Local maps
• Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery

CalMet Recycling
Leisure World has an active recycling program in cooperation with CalMet Services, the community’s solid waste management firm, to comply with California’s recycling laws.
Use the following information to facilitate efficient waste disposal in LW.
WHITE RECYCLE BINS
White recycle bins are located near trash bins (bagging is not required). Separate trash from materials that can be recycled, which include:
Glass: Clear, brown and green liquor, wine, beer, soft drink and juice bottles, and food jars (no lids).
Metal: Aluminum cans and foil, empty aerosol cans, metal/tin food cans and lids, clothes hangers, and soda and juice cans.
Plastic: Milk jugs, soda, juice, water, detergent and shampoo bottles; any plastic container, rigid plastic, such as toys, and firm plastic such as grocery bags.

GREEN TRASH BINS
Green trash bins are trash, which must be bagged in plastic. People can dispose of all manner of trash, including bathroom waste and tissues, carbon paper, cat litter bagged and tied, ceramics, glass plates and cups, clothes and shoes, disposable diapers (bagged and tied), disposable razors, drinking glasses, anything grown from the ground, flooring, food waste, mirrors, paper towels, sponges, soiled paper plates and napkins, Styrofoam, toothpaste tubes and pumps, water hoses, waxed paper and window glass bottles.
Used Car Lot is canceled
Leisure World residents can usually sell used vehicles in the Administration parking lot from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on the fourth Saturdays of the month. But this month, the lot is being paved so the sale is canceled. The next date the lot will be open is Oct. 23.
Vehicles must have current DMV registrations and GRF decals and be insured. In addition to cars, motorhomes, motorcycles, golf carts, bikes, trikes and scooters may be sold.
Only LW residents are allowed to sell vehicle, but the lot is open to residents and the guests they call in.
For more information, call (562) 431-6586, ext. 350 or 398.
Pool Progress Report
Work on the pool continues, and critical supply issues remain a concern. Underground inspection and steel installation will continue this week.
The electrical service transfer has been completed, so the panel has been moved into the pool mechanical room, paving the way for a concrete foundation to be poured. Construction workers will pour the slab this week.
The 4-inch gas line to accommodate the pool heater has arrived and is scheduled for installation this week.
Re-roofing is complete up to the tie-in of the new structure that holds the pool equipment.
The application of gunite is expected to start once the rebar is installed.
The schedule is subject to change due to COVID-related supply disruptions of all sorts, including pool equipment and materials. Shipping delays, as experienced with other projects in Leisure World, may alter construction timelines.
The pool has been closed since November 2019, when potentially catastrophic defects were uncovered in the 1960s-era facility.
The project that started as a simple remodel soon morphed into a full-blown reconstruction.
The project coincided with the coronavirus epidemic, which has delayed construction, parts procurement and other facets of the job.
The facility will have a pool with five swimming lanes, a 30-by-30-foot activity area with a volleyball net, a 9-by-25-foot spa, new locker rooms and a lounge area.
I-405 Freeway Update
The Orange County Transportation Authority, in cooperation with Caltrans, is widening the San Diego Freeway (I-405) between SR-73 and I-605.The project is improving 16 miles of I-405 between the SR-73 freeway in Costa Mesa and I-605 near the Los Angeles County line. Construction updates are as follows:
Sidewalk Closures on Seal Beach Boulevard
Crews closed the sidewalks at the intersection of Seal Beach Boulevard and Lampson Avenue for permanent traffic signal construction. Activities include the removal of existing sidewalk ramps, installation of new sidewalk ramps, electrical and foundation work.
Permanent traffic signal construction began June 1, and will continue through September.
Daytime work hours are 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Seal Beach Boulevard and Lampson will be intermittently reduced to two lanes at the intersection for the duration of the work.
NB I-405 Loop Off-Ramp to Bolsa Avenue Closed
Crews closed the northbound I-405 loop off-ramp to Bolsa on June 18 for approximately three months to accommodate the freeway widening. It should reopen this month.
SB I-405 Off-Ramp to Bolsa Chica Road Closed
Crews closed the southbound I-405 off-ramp to Bolsa Chica on Oct. 27, 2020; it will remain closed for about three more months to advance construction on the Bolsa Chica bridge.
SR-22 On-Ramp from Old Ranch Parkway Closed
The Old Ranch Parkway on-ramp to the westbound SR-22 closed April 13 for eight months to accommodate freeway widening. Activities include demolition, excavation, grading, drainage and electrical system installation, concrete pours and asphalt paving. Work hours are from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Crews may mobilize equipment as early as 6 a.m.
HCC parking lot to close for slurry seal application
The Health Care Center, Administration and Clubhouse 6 parking lots will not be available on Sept. 25 and 26 due to the slurry seal and restriping. All vehicles must be removed from the front parking lot area (not the Amphitheater lot) by the evening of Sept. 24. Clubhouse 6, including the Fitness Center and the table tennis area, will be closed that Saturday and Sunday. The fourth-Saturday used car lot has been canceled.
Seal Beach Classic Car Show
The 33rd Annual Seal Beach Classic Car Show, an official event of the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce and the City of Seal Beach, will be held Saturday, Oct. 9, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Main Street, Seal Beach. This year’s car show will showcase 534 classic cars, hot rods, custom cars, antiques and local public officials. The event is free and open to the public, with ample free parking at the Naval Weapons Station in Seal Beach, which includes pedestrian access and passenger drop off to the event.
Due to COVID-19, the shuttle service will not be available this year. Visitors are encouraged to drop off their passengers at the parking lot at the corner of Electric Avenue and Main Street and follow the turnaround on Electric Avenue back to the Naval Weapons Station’s Liberty Gate on Seal Beach Boulevard, between Electric Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway, where parking for the Car Show will be free and available from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Festivities include live music throughout the day from four bands playing on two stages, featuring Down the Hatch and The Bierman Brothers Band in the morning and Stevie Nicks Illusion Tribute Band and OC Ragdoll Band in the afternoon. Motorheads will once again enjoy a Cacklefest in Nitro Alley in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Everyone is invited to enjoy a pancake breakfast or hotdog lunch, provided by the Seal Beach Lion’s Club at the foot of the pier.

Letters to the Editor
Editor:
This is a long overdue letter. Now that I am not driving, I depend on friends and the LW Minibus service to get where I need and want to go.
I have found the LW buses to be convenient, and all the drivers are friendly and helpful.
I am on the B and D bus routes and want to thank the bus drivers and friends so much. I really appreciate all you do for me. The on-call bus is great too.

The latest statistics show COVID-19 has infected 290,718 and claimed 5,312 lives in Orange County. We have no idea how many of those have occurred within our community.
My husband works full-time, using our patio as his primary “office.” Last week, a few people had an extended conversation near our home. Sitting on our patio, my husband chose to put his mask on. We then heard, “You can always spot the Democrat.” The comment, apparently intended as a slur, surprised us.
Is wearing a mask a matter of being Republican or Democrat now? Don’t each of us want to stay safe to avoid being a statistic? As the saying goes, we’ve heard worse insults from better people.

This is the story of two opposing voter registration booths. One is covered with signs attacking the other party, name calling and fearmongering, going so far as to suggest the other side has no use for God.
Nothing whatsoever about what it plans to do for the American people.
The other booth invites anyone to register to vote and has information about how their party is working on ways to improve people’s lives.
It makes no slanderous statements about the other side. I’m proud to be a member of the Democratic Party.

I read with interest the letters to the editor over the past two weeks regarding the sign at the LW Republican Party red tents near Clubhouse 6.
I was ready to stay out of the discussion until I read David Harlow’s letter (Sept. 16). I couldn’t care less what the Internet has to say since we know how truthful a lot of stuff on the Internet is.
I might ask if I should also go to the Internet and look up what the Republican Party thinks about people of color, women, Jewish Americans, LGBTQ Americans, Nazis, Proud Boys and any of a dozen others I can think of.
I’m more interested in what my neighbors, the people I live next door to, think.
And that sign tells me what the LW residents who belong to that club think of me. Or does it just tell me what the people who man that table think?
As long as we keep this kind of stuff up, nothing will change, and it will just drive a bigger wedge between neighbors. I’m asking the LW Republican Party to please remove that sign going forward. I think it would go a long way.

I am writing in response to David Harlow’s letter (Sept. 16) that defended the “validity” of a Republican Club banner displayed in its booth stating, “The Democratic Party has taken God out of America.”
One wonders how his members would feel if the Democrat Club hoisted a banner reading: “The Republican Party supports racism, fascism and pseudo Christianity” and to support that, recommended the viewing of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol or the Proud Boys March in Charlottesville. Puhleez!
It is time to return truth and decency to civic discourse. Remember, those who paint with a broad brush eventually get smeared.

Editor:
Judging from several letters in the last issue (Sept. 16), there seems to be confusion for some as to the principle of separation of religion (church) and state, which was a concept shared by all of our founding fathers.
This principle in no way implies “godlessness” as to those who support it, but rather a desire to protect the right of others to worship a god of their own choice in a manner of their own choosing.
Also, Democrat is a noun and democratic is an adjective. Hence, one says Republican Party rather than republic party.

I find that David Harlow’s support (Sept. 16) of the offensive, and, more important, untruthful and divisive signs make me wonder if you, and all Republicans who think like you, would believe Elizabeth Winslow (Sept. 16) and other Christian Democrats who stood in front of you and swore on your Christian Bible that your large signs are blatantly false?
Seems as though you would rather put your trust and faith in channeling the Internet and rejecting the actual words of your neighbors and community.
The language of the large signs is wrong, disruptive and has no place in a democratic and pluralistic society. We are all Americans. Get rid of them.

Editor:
I totally agree with the letter written by Elizabeth Winslow (Sept. 16). Good for her for standing up to hate.
It is abhorrent that the Republican (Club) chooses to further hate and division by putting up a sign in the Clubhouse 6 parking lot that suggests that if you are a Democrat, you have no values and you don’t believe in God.
There are so many things wrong with that sentence, the first being that the implication is that if you don’t believe what they believe, you are liberal and godless. This is America, people are allowed to have different viewpoints. When did it become a patriotic banner to goosestep and all fall in line behind a single thought (didn’t we fight a war to end that kind of thinking)?
A sign like that is offensive and needs to be taken down, as it is a violation of our code of conduct and by having it in a public common area, it implies that those are the views of GRF because they let it stand. Free speech is always allowed, but you can’t yell “fire” in a crowded theater nor should you be able to spew unfounded lies and hate under the pretense of being a political sign
Republicans, rather than trying to attract people to your party through hate speech, how about having some policies that people like and post them on your signs? Shame on anyone promoting that kind of behavior.

I am writing to express my support for the wise lady that resides in Mutual 8 (Sept. 16). Her comments pertaining to the offensiveness of the LW Republican Club signage “The Democrat Party has taken God out of America” was spot on.
When I saw the signage hanging from this club’s tent, I wondered why any club in Leisure World would be allowed to make such a bigoted statement. I looked up the meaning of the word “bigotry,” and according a definition from Oxford Languages, it is defined as “obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion or faction; in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basic of their membership of a particular group.
I believe the posting of this signage is not a matter of freedom of speech but a hateful, bigoted statement that is intended to depict others in a very negative way. The posting of words is really no different form a person sending a letter speaking derogatorily against people of different faiths, sexual preference or race. I would say that no organization or person should have the right to use Trust Property to expound statements that propagate hate and untruths.
Shame on all of us and the GRF if this is the type of statements we are willing to tolerate. In the last year, this community stood up against racism and let it be known it was not acceptable. Slogans and or statements made by any narrow-minded person should have no place in our community.

Margaret Humes, my loving wife for 40 years, passed into her loving Savior’s arms on Aug. 25. This as most of you know is devastating to those who have suffered the loss. I was deeply grieved by Margaret’s passing and physically and emotionally a wreck.
I believe and take great comfort in the fact that because of her faith in Jesus Christ, she is now in the presence of her Savior.
My family was a source of constant support and encouragement. I don’t know what I would have done without them, and the LW community has been an incredible blessing to me.
Margaret was very active in many LW clubs, volunteer groups and in her church fellowship. It’s through these groups that she made many friends. I, through Margaret’s passing, have reaped the benefits of those friendships. The love, compassion, kindness and generosity that has been shown me has been nothing less than overwhelming. I thank each one of you throughout the community for the cards and words of encouragement, the provisions, and, yes, your prayers.
To my neighbors, what can I say—words oftentimes fall short of the depth of gratitude I feel for those around me; thank you just doesn’t seem adequate. It seemed whatever my need was, it was met. To my church family,your prayers and support have helped sustain me through a very difficult time of spiritual testing. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for all you have done. It is deeply appreciated. May God bless each of you.

I read the article from someone who shared her feelings about Sept. 11, 2001 (LW Weekly, Sept. 9). For 61 years I have written a Christmas letter and sent the letter as well as a photo collage to my friends and relatives.
Last year, I gathered all the past letters and collages together into a book of our 60-year marriage and gave each of our five children a copy.
I would like to share part of the letter from 2001.
“2001 has been a wonderful year and a time of sorrow. We mourned with our nation on Sept. 11. I turned the TV on when I woke up and saw the plane crash into the second tower. One of our sons and his wife were on vacation in the New York area. I was compelled to call all my children. I had to hear their voices , to know that my world was still intact. I really had not realized how many planes flew over our head until the air above us became silent. It was a strange and frightening time.
My niece Kristi graduated from Cornell. Thank God she didn’t take one of the first jobs offered or she might have been in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11.”
We have a lot more free time since COVID-19 entered our lives. If anyone would like to start a two-page letter and two-page collage of their family life to share with their children, I would be glad to show you what I did and offer any help if needed. I am in the phone directory.

In the Letters to the Editor section in the LW Weekly newspaper of Sept. 16, David Harlow is asking our gentle readers to enter “Has the Democratic Party rejected Christians?” on the web and read the search response.
My goodness! One could replace Democratic with Republican and also get negative viewpoints.
What comes next? Each party sitting on opposite sides of the central aisle at their place of worship?
Having one building for each party at the religious location?
Have GRF remove all participants of one party or the other from Leisure World?
Perhaps David should go to the written view of his religion, the Bible, and follow Jesus’ teaching about the turning of the other cheek/forgiveness.
Can not we all just get along?

Why Roundabouts?
by Nick Massetti
LW contributor
Ever heard the meme “a square peg in a round hole”? It refers to a person in a situation unsuited to their abilities.
Well, that is what some people are saying about the idea to put a round circle in a square intersection.
They say older drivers don’t possess the abilities needed to navigate a single lane roundabout at a square intersection. But these traffic calming devices are being installed in many U.S. cities, including right next door in Long Beach.
Actually, more than 3,500 have been installed over the last three decades in the U.S., including 300 in California. The Federal Highway Administration considers roundabouts a “proven safety countermeasure” because they have been proven to reduce fatal collisions by 90 percent, injury collisions by 70 percent and total collisions by 35 percent. Pedestrian fatalities are reduced to zero. But we Americans resist accepting this late 19th-century French invention for a couple of reasons.
First, roundabouts are proven to be safer because they reduce the number of places where one vehicle can strike another by a factor of four, but we Americans prefer the illusion of safety. We prefer to think when the light is green, it is safe to go; when it’s red, it’s safe to stop.
No more thought required, leaving U.S. drivers to focus on what’s really important, like texting on their phones.
Second, roundabouts are magic because they create constant traffic flow to get us there quickly rather than abbreviating journeys with mandated traffic stops. We Americans only care about getting there quicker than the next guy. Roundabouts involve drivers entering the circle to yield to those already in it, but that requires drivers to start thinking about sharing the road and not just their own needs.
Third, roundabouts reduce the number of times cars have to accelerate from a dead stop, but that would threaten American culture, which includes street racing from stoplights and wasting natural resources.
Fourth, roundabouts offer places to install public art or parks where people can gather, but that would go against one of the reasons Americans like their cars so much. They provide separation from the people around us. We don’t like being forced to associate with other people.
Fifth, roundabouts might just prove to be too much for older Boomers who would likely prefer euthanasia to giving up their driver’s licenses. But if people cannot manage to merge at low speed into a counterclockwise circle before finding the correct exit, should those people be holding licenses that enable them to operate heavy machinery in the first place?
Well, this is America. Boomers gave their lives in Vietnam defending the right of other old people to drive well past a safe age. When fundamental rights are in question, we push back.
So if you encounter a roundabout in your travels or hear about one perhaps coming to your neighborhood, go with the flow and enjoy being the round peg in a square hole.
Patriot Day Speech
Editor’s note: The following Patriot Day speech was delivered at a 9/11 observance sponsored by the American Legion at Veterans Plaza. It was written by Dan Weber, Mutual 1, who was unable to deliver it on that day, and so it is printed here. Weber is the adjutant for Post 327 and a Navy veteran.

On Dec. 18, 2001, Congress, through the president, designated Sept. 11 as “Patriot Day” on each anniversary of the attacks.
Thank you for coming on this 20th anniversary of 9/11. We are here to commemorate patriots. Our lives changed forever on that September day.
Nineteen men hijacked four fuel-loaded U.S. commercial airlines bound for West Coast destinations. This terrorist attack on the United States was orchestrated by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. A total of 2,977 people were killed in New York City; Washington, D.C.; and outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history.
At the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan, 2,753 people were killed when hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 were intentionally crashed into the north and south towers. Of those who perished during the initial attacks and the subsequent collapses of the towers, 343 were New York City firefighters, another 23 were New York City police officers and 37 others were officers at the Port Authority. The victims ranged in age from two to 85 years. Approximately 75 percent of the victims were men.
At the Pentagon in Washington, 184 people were killed when hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the building.
Near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, 40 passengers and crew members aboard United Airlines Flight 93 died when the plane crashed into a field. It is believed that the hijackers crashed the plane in that location, rather than their unknown target, after the passengers and crew attempted to retake control of the flight deck.
As of Sept. 2015, 1,640 of 2,753 WTC victims’ remains have been positively identified.
Timeline:
Sept. 11, 2001
– 8:46 a.m. ET: American Airlines Flight 11 (traveling from Boston to Los Angeles) strikes the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.
– 9:03 a.m. ET: United Airlines Flight 175 (traveling from Boston to Los Angeles) strikes the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.
– 9:37 a.m. ET: American Airlines Flight 77 (traveling from Dulles, Virginia to Los Angeles) strikes the Pentagon Building in Washington.
– 9:59 a.m. ET: South tower of WTC collapses in approximately 10 seconds.
– 10:03 a.m. ET: United Airlines Flight 93 (traveling from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco) crashes in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
– 10:28 a.m. ET: North tower of WTC collapses. The time between the first attack and the collapse of both World Trade Center towers is 102 minutes.
Costs of the Attack
From an economic standpoint, the costs of this single day 20 years ago are staggering and worth remembering and reiterating to those who might forget:
• $500,000: Estimated amount to plan and execute the 9/11 attacks.
• $123 billion – Estimated economic loss during the first 2-4 weeks after the World Trade Center towers collapsed in New York City, as well as decline in airline travel over next few years
• $60 billion – Estimated cost of the WTC site damage, including damage to surrounding buildings, infrastructure and subway facilities.
• $40 billion – Value of the emergency anti-terrorism package approved by the U.S. Congress on Sept. 14, 2001.
• $15 billion – Aid package passed by Congress to bail out the airlines.
• $9.3 billion – Insurance claims arising from the 9/11 attacks.
Cleanup at Ground Zero
• May 30, 2002 – Cleanup at Ground Zero officially ends.
• It took 3.1 million hours of labor to clean up 1.8 million tons of debris.
• The total cost of cleanup was $750 million.
Human Impact
Even more significant than this economic loss is the human cost. In addition to those who lost their lives on this day 20 years ago are the lives of those called to service, the lives of their families, those called into combat and subsequently, those who lost their lives in Iraq, Afghanistan and other related places to regain the initiative in this 21st century fight against those who wish our country harm.
Since that fateful event, we have lost 7,000 servicemen and women in combat; 52,000 were wounded; and 970,000 servicemen and women have registered with the VA as disabled. All told some 7 million men and women have fought for this country and, as a direct result of the events we remember today, many of them multiple times. Never in our history have so few fought on behalf of so many when so much is at stake. Today less than one percent of this nation defends 99 percent of its population.
So this morning, in this special place, we remember the sacrifice, the service, the families, our Nation and its leaders. We pray that no more monuments need be erected to the fallen, no more terrible days be endured and that no one forget, ever, the day that changed our lives forever.

Aquarium of the Pacific
Habitat restoration event coming Oct. 2
The Aquarium of the Pacific is restarting its monthly habitat restoration event at the Los Cerritos Wetlands. From 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of the month, volunteers will collect trash and participate in other activities meant to help restore local wetlands.
The Los Cerritos Wetlands Stewardship Program is working to restore 66 acres of wetlands owned by the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority. The program’s ongoing restorative activities have included removing non-native plants, planting native plants and collecting seeds from rare plants for later use. Restoring local wetlands helps the animals that rely on them for habitat, including amphibians, reptiles and birds.
The events are led by trained naturalists and local educators, offering an opportunity for people to learn more about the Los Cerritos Wetlands, while getting hands-on involvement with the restoration.
Participants will be greeted on Oct. 2 by Los Cerritos Wetlands staff at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and 1st Street in Seal Beach. Arriving around 10:15 a.m. is recommended. Everyone is welcome to participate; children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Closed-toe shoes are required, and wearing a hat and sunscreen is recommended. Drinking water will be provided, but organizers are asking people to bring a reusable water bottle, as they want to keep the event free of disposable water bottles.
Volunteers are eligible to win a free ticket to the Aquarium and other prizes. Home to more than 12,000 animals, Aquarium exhibits include “Shark Lagoon,” “The June Keyes Penguin Habitat,” “Pacific Visions” and “The Coral Reefs: Nature’s Underwater Cities.” It also offers a variety of educational events, including lectures from guest speakers.
The next habitat restoration events at the Los Cerritos Wetlands are scheduled for Nov. 6 and Dec. 4.
Registration is not required for this free event. For more information, email iwanttohelp@tidalinfluence.com.
The Doo Wop Club is preparing its “American Bandstand”-themed show, to be presented at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 9 in Clubhouse 2. The performance features Rick Riley (standing, l to r), Frank Destra, Ellen Brannigan, Josie DelPino, Jackie Hildebrant, Lu DeSantis, Ken Notorleva, Claudio Gonzalez, Vinny Correnti, Sally Glausser, Erika Greenwood, Susan Kelleghan, Carmen Edwards and Ben Berg, plus Martha Destra (seated, l to r), Tosca Lies, Tillie Stiehr and Ric Dizon.

LW Poetry
This feature showcases original poems by members of the Creative Writers Club of Leisure World and other GRF members.
Invitation to a Walk
Oh, come with me to take a walk
Along a trail in live oak woods.
Perchance we’ll spy a red-tailed hawk
Or charm ground squirrels that stop to gawk.
We’ll pause by streams where mallards flock
and red-eared turtles sun on rock.
We’ll watch as dragonfly nymphs perform
Like minute dancers in summer stock.
Oh, come with me to take a walk.
Nature’s waiting. We’ll stroll and talk.
—Ethel I. Carter
Friends of the Library

The evening began with the Huntington Beach Concert Band providing entertainment on the Plaza Pacifica. The chief of the Orange County Fire Authority gave a remembrance that included slides of 9/11. The symphony’s concert included a choral performance, plus numbers from Tchaikovsky, John Williams, Stephen Paulus, Irving Berlin and Rachmaninoff, featuring internationally acclaimed pianist George Li. Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture,” complete with cannons and fireworks, capped the night.

Lori Chamberlain and Betty Vander Wal of Mutual 11 recently organized a party in their neighborhood for six birthday ladies: Joan Busche, Marlene Gardner, Susan Hogan, Becky Nakasue, Diane Rosado and Regina Singh, ranging in age from 64 to 80. Hui O Hula dancers helped them celebrate with a Hawaiian dance. Phil Mandeville (l) dances with the group after giving a pule/prayer. Chamberlain (next to Mandeville) says she appreciates the opportunity to wish her friends and neighbors aloha, especially during this difficult time. After the entertainment, a spread was put out for all to enjoy. The club wishes mahalo to Chamberlain and Kaye Huff (second from right) for their great organizational skills. Hui O Hula are always happy to volunteer their time. Everyone is welcome, regardless of skill level, to join Hawaiian dance lessons at Veterans Plaza on Tuesday and Thursday at 1 p.m. Call (562) 431-2242 or email Jojo@HuiOHula.com for performance or class information.
Women’s Golf Club
The first round of the president’s two-week tournament was played on Sept. 14. Fifty-six golfers competed for low gross, low net and birdies. Fifteen golfers scored 19 birdies, and one golfer made three birdies.
The flight winners were:
Flight A: Low gross: Devora Kim, 25; low net: Janice Turner, 23; birdies: Sandy Derouin (holes 3 and 8), Linda Herman (hole 6), Devora Kim (holes 2, 6 and 8), Hae Lee (hole 2) and Karen Mendon (hole 6).
Flight B: Low gross: Myung Kim, 29; low net: Helen Yoon, 22; birdies: Sang An (hole 1), Jee Choi (hole 2), Myung Kim (hole 6) and Young Yoon (holes 6 and 8).

Flight D: Low gross: Angela Song, 32; low net: Mary Devlin, 23; birdie: Soo Kim, hole 8.
—Dale Quinn
Pool Tournament
The eight-ball pool tournament held Sept. 15 in Clubhouse 2 drew 24 players. To make the competition more competitive, and so a very skilled player wouldn’t run the table, stronger players draw names for partners and alternate shots. The idea worked well because games were generally very close.
Each of the 12 teams team played five games. After three rounds, three teams had three wins: Gary Monahan and Bob Gronkie, Ruffy Ramos and Sandy Bird, and Connie Terry and Dave Silva. Ramos and Bird lost game four, while the other two teams remained undefeated, However, Ramos and Bird made a comeback, winning the last game with the other two teams lost. So, the three top teams split the prize money evenly.
The next open tournament is slated for Oct. 20 at 6:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 2. Teams will play 369, a form of nine-ball, and will alternate play between those two games on the third Wednesday of each month. The entry fee is $3, all of which goes toward prize money.
Chess Club
This week’s puzzle is checkmate in three moves. White moves first. Any answer by Black, and White’s third move is checkmate.
The solution to this week’s puzzle: The first move is Qc4. The White queen moves from e2 to c4, the Black knight to Kc4, then White pawn to e4. Black rook moves to a4; the next move by White is checkmate.
The Chess Club meets under the umbrella behind Clubhouse 3 from 1-6 p.m. on Fridays, weather permitting.
Guys & Gals Tournament
The Sept. 15 Leisure World Guys & Gals Tournament was played at the Turtle Lake Golf Course. Three flights of a one-man-and-one-woman team participated for best net scores, four circle holes (within a 5-foot circle), and two closest-to-the-pin challenges.
A total of 31 teams participated through the early morning and into the afternoon. The greens and fairways are in very good condition, but the tee boxes remain in poor shape, with very low or little growth, more than a few bare spots, some wetness and numerous unrepaired divots. This causes higher scores, as tee shots are erratic because of little grass and a lot of dirt showing on the tee boxes.
The weather was comfortable and lamentably windless. The sun decided to make an appearance in the early afternoon, and so the heat rose slightly as the day wore on. With the cooler weather and fair overall course conditions, 26 of the 31 rounds were net at or below par. There were five circle hole winners.
A Fight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-10; B Flight, 11-13; and C Flight, 14-18. All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap).
A Flight Winners: First place: Paul Alloway and Ann Tran, a very good 8 under 45; second: tie between Gene Archambault and Stella Yoon and Dong Kim and Devora Kim, a nice 7 under 47; third: tie between Bob Turner and Janice Turner and Steven Walker and Yvonne Yim, a fine 6 under 48; fourth: tie between Bill Lyons and Karen Mendon and Jae H. Lee and Sun Lee, a well-played 5 under 49.
B Flight Winners: First place: Steve Ro and Elizabeth Butterfield, a terrific 7 under 47; second: Jae Kim and Myung Kim, a marvelous 6 under 48; third: Bill McKusky and Joyce Basch, a very good 5 under 49; fourth: Hyon Shin and Sang An, a great 4 under 50.
C Flight Winners: First place: Youn Lee and Melinda Lee, a remarkable 8 under 46; second: Pat Paternoster and Alison Kim, a terrific 7 under 47; third: Paul Shellenberger and Sally Park, a great 5 under 49; fourth: tie between James Farr and Neva Senske, Rolando Ramirez and Laura Garcia, Dennis Jensen and Marilyn Hewitt, and Joe DiDonato and Sandra deDubovay, a super 3 under 51.
Closest to the pin on the par-3 eighth hole were Steve Walker and Joann Lim, while on the par-3 17th hole, it was Jae H. Lee and Karen Mendon.
The next Guys & Gals Tournament will be Sept. 29. If you are scheduled to play (check clubhouse bulletin board) and cannot, contact Alan Sewell at (541) 324-8558 or Dave LaCascia at (801) 674-5975 as soon as you know.

Community Karaoke
Crooner Tino Tupas returned from vacation this week. He’s been coming to Community Karaoke parties for many, many years, and everyone enjoys his smooth, pleasant renditions of old-time ballads, including his choice on Sept. 15, “Traveling Man.”
David Noble suggested a theme song for the group should be “Welcome to My Leisure World world.” Danna Sanders, who is new to the LW stage, did a fine job on Shania Twain’s “I’m Outta Here.” Richard Yokomi stepped up the tempo with the catchy “You Got It.” Shannon Harris had fun with “Splish Splash,” and Barbie May performed the country tune “Bed of Roses.”
Duets are so much fun, as singers try to harmonize and time it just right. Folks who entertained included Kenny Nortorleva, Susan Kelleghan, Eileen Merritt, Bob Barnum, Martin Rosendaal, Anna Le, Ric Dizon, Vita Villamor, Julie Nulad and Vinny Correnti.
The club thanks Alanna Eaby for her tasty treats. And the ice cream bars were a nice surprise.
Monday afternoon practice sessions in Clubhouse 6 can helpful for singers trying perfect their songs. It’s a fast-paced, casual atmosphere to try an unfamiliar tune from 1-3 p.m.
Karaoke parties are every Wednesday in Clubhouse 1 beginning at 5:30 p.m. All are welcome to sing or just enjoy the evening with friends and neighbors.

Should you get a flu shot?
By Carson Blomquist
OptumCare
This has been a tough and unpredictable year, but if there is one constant, it is flu season. And that season is just around the corner. With the pandemic not quite over and surges in COVID cases because of new variants, getting a flu shot is particularly important this year.
There are a lot of questions about the flu shot. Here are some healthcare professionals hear the most.
“I’m healthy. I don’t need a flu shot.” Being healthy is all the more reason to get a flu shot. If you get the virus, you may not have many symptoms, but that doesn’t mean you can’t spread it to others. The flu shot doesn’t just protect you; it also protects your loved ones.
“I never leave home. Why should I bother with the flu shot?” These days, we can get almost everything delivered to us: groceries, takeout, medications and more. We wear masks in public and keep our distance from others. And we’re being extra cautious by spending time with loved ones through virtual calls. Even with all these precautions, it doesn’t take much for the flu virus to spread. Consider the flu shot an extra dose of protection.
“I saw something on Facebook about vaccines being unsafe.” Facebook is a fun way to connect with other people. It can also be a spreader of incorrect information. If you’re not sure if the flu shot is right for you, ask your doctor. They know your medical history and can help you make the right choice for your needs.
“I have a lot of health conditions. Is the flu shot safe for me?” The flu can make other conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, much worse. Protecting yourself against the flu means managing your current conditions. It also means talking to your doctor. That may not be the answer you want to hear, but your doctor really does know best. They can listen to your concerns and help you come up with ways to stay safe.
“Is it safe to get the flu shot during the pandemic?” COVID and influenza—what a scary time! You can do your part to be safe—and keep others safe—by getting your flu shot. It’s especially important this year since these are both respiratory viruses. The flu vaccine doesn’t protect against COVID, but it’s a way to keep yourself protected from another dangerous virus.
“Can I get my COVID vaccine and flu vaccine at the same time?” The CDC has stated it is safe to get both vaccines at the same time (www.cdc.gov/flu). Not sure if either or both vaccines are right for you? Talk to your primary care doctor. They know your unique health needs and can help you make the best decision.
“Is there a high-dose flu vaccine this year?” The regular flu vaccine is a lot stronger this year. It’s also not made with eggs, which is good news if you have an allergy to eggs.

senior peace club
Peaceful demonstration to honor Afghan War troops
The Senior Peace Club’s next peaceful demonstration will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 29, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. in front of the Leisure World Globe. This month’s theme is honoring all the servicemen and women from the Afghan War and celebrating the long-awaited end of America’s longest war.
With all the complaints and second-guessing about how President Joe Biden ended the 20-year war in Afghanistan, one of the most important aspects of the withdrawal, the fact that our troops are no longer there in harm’s way, has been pushed to the background.
The club will focus on welcoming home the troops and letting them know that Americans appreciate the huge sacrifices they made in the service of their country.
Signs will be available at the demonstration, but people are encouraged to make and bring their own appropriate signs. All caring and concerned people are welcome to participate.
Happy Birthday to You

Virginia Castillano sends Dick O’Brien (below) happy 97th birthday wishes from her and the entire O’Brien family.
Does my dog need a flu shot, too?
Did you know that dogs can also get their own verison of the flu? Canine influenza (CI), or dog flu, is a highly contagious viral infection. It was discovered in Floridia around 2004 among racing greyhounds, and since then two other strands of CI have been discovered (H3N8 and H3N2). However, there has been no evidence that dogs can spread the flu to their owners.
Just like flu that humans are used to, CI is spread through aerosol transmission such as sneezing, barking or coughing. Dogs in close contact with infected dogs in places such as kennels, groomers, day care facilities and shelters are at increased risk of infection. Canine influenza can be spread indirectly through objects such as kennels, food and water bowls, collars, and leashes. It can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours; infected dogs will show signs of infection within 2-3 days.
Like other mammalian influenza viruses, CI causes an acute respiratory infection in dogs. There is no “season” for CI, and infections can occur any time of the year. The infection often resembles canine infectious tracheobronchitis, also known as “kennel cough.”
The majority of infected dogs exhibit the mild form of canine influenza. The most common clinical sign is a cough that persists for 10-21 days despite treatment with antibiotics and cough suppressants. Affected dogs may have a soft, moist cough or a dry cough similar to that induced by kennel cough. Nasal and/or ocular discharge, sneezing, lethargy, and anorexia may also be observed.
It’s important to make an appointment with your veterinarian if you see signs any respiratory infection to get a diganosis and treatment plan.
If you often take your dog to the groomers, day care, or a kennel while you travel, it might be a good idea to talk to your veterinarian about getting your dog vaccinated against canine influenza. The vaccine’s necessity for your dog is dependent on your dog’s lifestyle, including how much expose it has with other dogs and if it has a risk of developing kennel cough.

Korean American Senior Association delievers food to local seniors
Sa Yong Ji of Mutual 14 is the president of the Korean American Senior Association of Orange County.
He has worked tirelessly for Leisure World Korean Community Church (LWKCC) and its senior pastor Jang Young Yong and the LW community. Deacon Sa Yong Ji has accepted the role of the Korean American Senior Association of Orange County president for the third time, having previously served in the position from 2005-2006 and 2009–2010 before.
The Korean American Senior Association of Orange County delivered food and presents to local seniors in time for the traditional Korean Thanksgiving. Normally, the association holds a biannual festival during Korean Thanksgiving, but it had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. LWKCC supported the association’s cause for celebrating the Korean Thanksgiving, and Pastor Jang Young Yong gave the commencement prayer.
Filipino Associan of Leisure Wold president Renato Villaneva presented a certificate of appreciation to Davidica Sonza (l-r), Annie Andreatta and Myrrha Villaneva for their unsurpassed and dedicated service to the association during the monthly meeting held on Sept. 12.
Democratic Club
by Mary Larson
LW contributor
Last week, Leisure World residents joined voters from around the state in a resounding victory for Gov. Gavin Newsom in the Republican-initiated recall election. According to the Sept. 15, 5 p.m. report from the Orange County Registrar of Voters, LW Democrats and their supporters cast 486 more “No on the Recall” votes than votes supporting the recall.
A closer look at the available statistics is even more revealing. There are currently 367 more registered Republicans than registered Democrats in Leisure World (2,999 Republicans and 2,632 Democrats). In addition, there are over 1,000 residents who are registered without declaring a party affiliation.
In comparing these Leisure World registration statistics to the actual voting in the Sept. 14 election, it becomes obvious that LW voters not affiliated with either of the two major political papers voted primarily with the Democrats in opposition to the recall of the governor. The 2,802 LW votes cast in support of Gov. Newsom was actually 230 higher than the number of registered Democrats in the community. In contrast, the 2,316 Leisure World vote in support of the recall was 683 less than the number of registered Republicans.
The recall could end up costing the state of California more than $300 million, according to the Secretary of State.
•••
LW Democratic Club members came together via Zoom for its regularly scheduled monthly meeting on Sept. 15. This meeting—held only one day after the defeat of the efforts to recall the governor—featured a speaker who warned members about another possible recall effort.
During the meeting, Marlys Davidson, president of the Los Alamitos USD School Board, reported that efforts are underway to try to recall three of the board members. If this recall does materialize, it will be on the November 2022 General Election ballot. All costs involved in conducting this recall would have to be paid for by the school district.
Davidson spoke passionately of her concerns about efforts to recall local school boards and city council members across the nation. She expressed the view that this was a part of a larger plan to get conservative voters vested in coming to the polls in 2022 with the hope of taking back Congress and establishing stronger footholds in states across the nation.
She also outlined events that lead to the Los Alamitos Board unanimously adopting elective ethnic studies for its high school students as well as social justice standards as guideposts for instruction through 12th grade.
The Democratic Club will report further on these issues in subsequent news releases.

LW Democrats and supporters who are interested in more in-depth, up-to-date reporting on the issues can subscribe to the club’s electronic newsletter. There is no charge, although readers are also encouraged to join the club if they are not already members.

Republican Club
By Brian Harmon
LW contributor
Residents have launched an attempt to recall three members of the Los Alamitos United School District Board of Trustees.
Four of the five voting districts (or areas) within the school district include parts of LW. This fact is troubling. The division in districts reduces the chance that LW residents can have any significant effect on school board elections. The voting district map was created by the members of the current school board with the help of election experts.
Another reason cited for the recall is the district implementation of a controversial course on Ethnic Studies. Other residents are concerned about the power that district employee unions have over the policies of the district. These issues will be discussed by the Republican Club in depth as the campaign proceeds.
Three board members that represent LW are subject to recall. They are Chris Forehan (District 2), Scott Fayette (District 4) and Megan Cutuli (District 5). The other two board members cannot be recalled at this time because their terms are up next year.
It only takes 6,000 valid signatures, so the recall election is very likely to take place.
Libertarian Party Club
The Libertarian Party Club is starting at Leisure World. Those who are independent voters and like to vote for the candidate or issues rather than a political party are invited to come and listen to the Libertarian discussions and debates.
Interested LW residents should contact Rodney Schaerer from Mutual 1 by emailing SeeBeyondRodney@Yahoo.com or calling (562) 431-2355. Leave a message, and Rodney will put you on the email list for notifications.

LW Hanin Church
Members of LW Hanin Church believe that the triune God, revealed in Scripture, is alone worthy of worship. Members also believe that God has created people in his image, thereby making communication and relationship with him possible and natural.
As reformed Christians who emphasize the lordship of Christ over all of life, LW Hanin Church appreciates that worship is not limited to a couple of hours on Sunday. The Bible also speaks more narrowly of what we might call the official, public worship of the gathered community.
LW Hanin Church meets in Clubhouse 3, Room 4, at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday. All are welcome to attend the service, which will have a traditional hymnal and lunch served after worship. The Open Bible College is held each Thursday at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 4. Whether someone is new to LW Hanin Church or has been attending for years, all are welcome to join.
Those who are in pastoral need or have prayer requests can call Pastor Han at (310) 748-2595 or email yongkhan@hotmail.com. Abiding by the most recent LW COVID-19 prevention regulations, everyone attending the meetings is required to wear a mask.
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.
Message
After Jesus’ resurrection, he met his disciples in Galilee and said, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them that I commanded you and I am always with you to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). This message has become known as the “Great Commission.”
In John 14:16, the Holy Spirit is described as a helper, comforter and intercessor. Galatians 5:22 says that the fruit—or result—of fellowship with the Holy Spirit is joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
The gift of the Holy Spirit is an invaluable asset to believers. Based on the Great Commission, belivers are asked to share the gift of the Holy Spirit through belief in Jesus Christ with the entire world.
Scripture of the Week
“I have become a marvel to many, for you are my strong refuge. My mouth is filled with your praise and with your glory all day long” (Psalm 70:7-8).
Services
All First Christian services, Bible studies and prayer meetings are suspended at this time.
Announcements
Those who want to speak to someone at the church or have a need can call (562) 431-8810 and leave a message.
Beit HaLev
Beit HaLev’s High Holy Days continue to be livestreamed on Facebook and Zoom. Sh’mini Atzeret/Simchat Torah will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 28, at10:30 a.m.
The Sim Shalom Ma’ariv livestream service with Rabbi Galit-Shirah is every Thursday at 4 p.m. The Beit HaLev/Shabbat Shalom LIVE! livestream services are every Friday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 10:30 a.m.
Saturday, Sept. 25, is “Chol HaMo’ed Sukkot Shabbat” (Shabbat for the Intermediary [5th] Day of Sukkot). The reading from the Torah is from Exodus 33:12-34:26. Moshe asks, “Oh, let me behold your face!” and the Creator tells him that he/she will place him in the cleft of a rock and pass before him so that he may see only his back because no human may see the divine’s face and live.
All services use the special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which were adapted and abridged for Beit HaLev’s online services from the Reform Machzorim, “Mishkan HaNefesh,” and the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.” Printed versions of the prayerbooks will be available at the in-person Shabbat services.
Live, in-person Shabbat services will be held once a month on the first Friday of the month, beginning Oct. 1 at 6 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 4.
To request a membership form, call Rabbi Galit-Shirah at (562) 715-0888 or email duets@icloud.com.
Faith Christian Assembly
In Matthew 6:31-33, Jesus tells believers what they should do when fear and doubt begin to overwhelm them: “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly father already knows all your needs. Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Start seeking the kingdom of God by reading the Bible daily and entering fellowship with other seekers.
Faith Christian Assembly is a Bible-based church that is full of praying, caring and friendly people who are seeking the kingdom of God. The Sunday services are 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The midweek Bible study meets Wednesdays at 11 a.m. The Grief Share meets every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in the Garden Room.
To receive a free newsletter or more information on the church, call (562) 598-9010 or visit www.FCAchurch.net.
Assembly of God
Anything from a promotion or an expected baby to something more simple, such as a sale at the market, is news that people can’t wait to share. How much more urgency should believers feel about sharing that Christ is the answer for a weary world?
In Acts 1:8, just before Jesus ascends to heaven, he promises, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.” God gives his followers power to carry the message of salvation to the world.
Pastor Chuck Franco will preach a message titled “The Power of God” on Sunday, Sept. 26, in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, at 10:30 a.m. The Wednesday Bible study group meets at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2.
Leisure World Assembly of God continues to meet in person, and asks everyone to wear a mask and practice social distancing. Those who want to stay home can receive a DVD of the service to view during the week.
Those who are interested in receiving a DVD or would like more information can contact Pastors Chuck and Sheryl Franco by calling (562) 357-4360 or emailing lwagpastorc@lwassemblyofgod.com. Prayer team leader Carolyn van Aalst is available at (562) 343-8424.

LW Baptist
LW Baptist will meet on Sunday, Sept. 26, at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 4, following Sunday school at 9:15.
Luke chapter 16 records Jesus’ story of the shrewd manager. The Bible says to whom much is given, much is required. Believers are to be good stewards of the manifold grace of God. God holds people eternally accountable for using their trusts, including money, and their eternal soul. Believers should ask what have they done with God’s word and the people he placed in their life as Andrae Crouch expressed it, “All that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to you.” Believers are to use all they have to serve God and further his kingdom.

Redeemer Lutheran
“Reviving Your Soul” is the focus of the Psalm this week for Redeemer Lutheran: “The law of the Lord is perfect, it revives the soul!” (Psalm 19:7-14).
Redeemer Lutheran’s outdoor service on Sundays begin at 9:30 a.m. on the southern side of the building. The main service is held inside the stained-glass sanctuary at 10:30 a.m. Both services are accompanied by organ music and Communion. Masks and social distancing is practiced at both services.
Community Church
Community Church will conclude its series on what it means to “do church” this Sunday, Sept. 26.
Last week, the church looked at what most people think about church worship, including preconceived notions, people’s expectations and the expectations of Jesus. This week, the message will conclude by looking at acts of worship.
Community Church is a place where everything is designed with the first-time participant in mind. Those who have not felt welcome in church or have never participated in church before are welcome to attend.
As the pandemic continues to evolve, the church has returned to virtual worship on Zoom and Facebook. The facebook page is @CommunityChurchLeisure World. Contact the church office by calling (562) 431-2503 or emailing leisurewccsue@yahoo.com to receive the Zoom link.
Those in need of assistance can call the church office at (562) 431-2503.
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Latter-day Saints know the story of the persecution inflicted on the early members of the church. The beloved hymn, “Come, Come, Ye Saints” that speaks to the struggles.
While reflecting on the words to the hymn, Rev. Amos C. Brown, pastor of the Third Baptist Church of San Francisco, stated, “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints went through struggle. Your congregation did not rest in the ruins of oppression. It struggled to soar above the persecution that was inflicted by persons who didn’t like you because you were different. But the prophets kept saying, ‘Come, come, ye Saints, no toil nor labor fear.’”
Latter-day Saint leaders, including President Russell M. Nelson, are working closely with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to promote civility and collaboration on educational and humanitarian projects. Members of the church are invited to serve alongside friends of other faiths to act for the benefit of all who suffer from and are subject to bigotry, hatred, violence and repression. As Latter-day Saints actively carry the love of God in their hearts and show that love through service, it builds unity in the community, as well as a more caring and loving society.
For more on the interview with Brown, read the September issue of the Liahona, or read it online at Liahona.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
