I have been riding my bicycle to the pool, social events, the clubhouses and shopping mall since 2012. I get close calls all the time from drivers not paying attention to the rules. So here are a few tips: • Stop at the white line next to the stop sign, look and roll into the intersection. • Watch out for bicycles going out the south gate (St. Andrews Drive) and don’t rush through the intersection leaving St. Andrews by turning right toward the church. • Watch for bicycles turning left on St. Andrews going towards clubhouse 4 turning onto Northwood Road. • Keep the required distance on the road (three feet away from bicycle driver) • Don’t open doors without checking both sides of the street and sidewalk. When a car passes a bike, the car must leave a safe distance between the car and the bike. California law specifically states that a safe distance means at least three feet between the car and the bicycle. The safe distance must be maintained by the car driver until the car is safely past the bicycle. Bikes can share the same lane with drivers. If a lane is wide enough to share with another vehicle (about 14 feet), bicycles ride three feet to the right of traffic. If the lane is not wide enough to share, “take the lane” by riding in the middle. Peter Meuter Mutual 9 Editor: If there is no one who censors the language that is sung in the Amphitheater in what is usually excellent and wholesome entertainment, then there should be. The vulgarity of the words sung by one of the performers at the Aug. 29 performance was an insult and not something our young guests, our grandchildren, needed to be exposed to. Outside The Wall Apologizing before using such words does not make it OK to say them. Shame on that performer. Bud and Jean Sudbeck Mutual 14 Editor: My compliments for the concert on Aug.15 arranged by the Leisure World Korean-American Club. I was very impressed by the professional talent of those who organized the show, and even more so, by the extremely talented singers and pianists. I enjoyed the show much more than many of other recent shows in LW. I definitely would like to encourage many more non-Korean Americans not to miss any future shows put on by our Korean friends and neighbors in LW. I observed that of the approximately 200 people who attended, only about 40 were non-Korean. So thank you to the members of our LW KoreanAmerican Club. Ron Vogler Mutual 4 Editor: What a wonderful opportunity we have as shareholders of Leisure World: to perform for our friends and neighbors at such a venue as the Amphitheater once a year. And for the rest of us to enjoy these talents as we have on three straight Saturday evenings. But I wonder what rules have been put in place to ensure good taste and respectful language. My husband and I were very upset that one performer was able to “perform” a song that included several offensive words that we as seniors should not be subjected to. We sincerely hope that in the future there will be some screening of material to ensure that our community’s standards and sense of good taste are protected from such vulgarity.

Pledge of Allegiance In recognition of service to the community, the President of the Sunshine Club, Anna Derby, was asked to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. “Building Bridges for a Brighter Leisure World” has been the mission since the founding of the Sunshine Club in 2012. The club promotes communication, acceptance, respect and cultural understanding of the diverse population within Leisure World. The President thanked her and the club members for their work in the community. Roll Call The Corporate Secretary reported that Directors Blake, R. Stone, Pratt, Snowden, L. Stone, Reed, Hood, Wood, Rapp, McGuigan, Dodero, Winkler, Greer, Damoci, Lukoff, Friedman and Moore were present. Director Bolton was absent. Executive Director Ankeny and Controller Miller were also present. Announcements/Service Award Presentation The Committee meeting schedule is published in the Golden Rain News. All committee meetings are open to Shareholder/Foundation members. The Security Chief, Jaime Guerrero, presented a service plaque and pin to: Arthur Pierson Linda Mendez Security Department Security Department 10 years of service 10 years of service The Recreation Supervisor, Terry DeLeon, presented a service plaque and pin to: Bill Coleman Recreation Department 20 years of service On behalf of the GRF Board members, the President thanked these employees for their dedicated service. The President announced that Vice President Damoci requested removal of # 8.a.ii., GRF By-Laws Budget Planning, from the agenda today. No objections were made. President’s Comments The new fiscal organizational year is up and running. All the Standings Chairs have held their first meetings, Vice Chairs have been elected and Sub-Committees are forming and doing their homework. So far, the Policy and Procedure Rewrite Sub-Committee will hold its first meeting on the 30th and the Emergency Preparedness will meet on the 31st. Finance has formed a sub-committee on Leases and Contracts. Before the end of August, we will be able to report on additional sub-committees whose primary duties are to gather information and make recommendations to the Standing Committees. As usual, rumors are quickly making the rounds throughout our community. Rumor: A large black coyote has been seen within our walls. Fact: Pictures of this animal indicate it is a large black, somewhat thin Labrador, which is no longer on our property. Rumor: By amending the lease agreement between the Foundation and the Health Care Center, new patients will be coming into our community without any restrictions and they could carry viruses and diseases, fill up our parking lot and make it difficult for our residents to see their doctors on a timely basis. Fact: The Health Care Center doctors’ focus is on patients who, as a rule, qualify as senior citizens. We have no pediatric or children’s doctors and no plans are in process to do so. In addition, every single person who comes into the Health Care Center who is not a resident is called into Security every single day. This would include pharmaceutical representatives, lab couriers, vendors, and medical specialists. In addition, longer wait times are now the standard. I have talked to people using outside doctors and clinics and they are experiencing long waits if they can find a doctor who will take Medicare. To date, three months after the lease was signed, there has been only one new patient. I did do some checking with our Security Department and found the non-resident ping pong players, the dancers and other clubs and organizations all call in their guests and/or give them pink passes. Now there is an area where we don’t know who is coming into our community. What is interesting is the unfettered access outsiders have on Saturdays, Sundays and special events for religious groups, members and guests. This is an area no one wants to change; just keep in mind on Sunday mornings non-residents can either drive or walk into our community by just indicating they are attending a church service. One of our biggest challenges is that the majority of theft, vandalism and other incidents are due to relatives or guests of residents. At some time in the future, we need to review our policies on our resident passes. As I have stated before, if all of them are given out or purchased, we could have 56,000 unknown visitors through our gates. Residents also need to be very careful who they allow to accompany their caregivers. Recently, the City of Seal Beach has begun legal proceedings to protest the Cal Trans decision to add more lanes to the 405/22 freeways outside our walls. The majority of the space needed will come from the north side of the freeway in College Parks East and West. However, we also get the pollution and the dirt. Cleaning up the black gunk that falls on patios and vegetation can be somewhat disconcerting. As shared with us several years ago by the AQMD, the black gunk isn’t a problem as it doesn’t stick to our lung tissue, only the micro pollution and their tests found very little micro pollution from the energy plants when concerns were raised. Maybe we should consider retesting for air pollution from our freeways. The issue: just how much should our residents get involved with this fight? I personally think we need to at least discuss its ramifications on our residents, many who have respiratory issues. I do know Seal Beach residents that will be impacted by this issue are speaking up at the Seal Beach City Council meetings. I encourage our residents to find out as much as possible on this issue so your board of directors can make good decisions on a controversial subject. Don’t hesitate to attend City Council meetings which are normally held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. Also, talk to our City Council Representatives and let them know your thoughts and concerns about the 405 expansion. The Foundation and Mutual Boards of Directors have started to work on their annual budgets for 2016. This process takes almost three months before they are finalized. We now have three budgets to work with, the operations budget, the reserve budget for repairs and replacements and a capital budget to pay for a new piece of equipment such as our second data server, which was recommended by our accountants. Now is the time for any club or organization which wishes to enhance, replace or repair any item in their work and/or meeting rooms to put their requests in writing to the appropriate committee. If, for instance, the wood shops needed to replace an old woodworking machine as the one in place is possibly dangerous to operate, they need to approach the Recreation Committee, in writing, with the whys and wherefores and address their concerns at the Committee meeting. It is too late to ask for new and/or improved amenities in July or August of 2016 as it wouldn’t be in the budget. The Civil Code requires us to get this information in the shareholder/members hands no later than December 1st, which means it must be approved by the Foundation Board of Directors in late September or early October so it can be printed in early November. Our “Inside Our Walls Activities” seem to be very popular. Everyone had a rocking good time at our 4th of July celebration, held in the parking lot of Club House 6. Some beautiful classic cars were displayed which included a couple of manufacturers I have never heard of, several rows of decorated golf carts were in line for all to admire, people were lined up for barbecue ribs and Gina and the Bootleggers had many people moving and dancing to some great music. Inside Clubhouse Six were tables with shareholders displaying their handcrafted items. Yes, there are a few areas we need to improve; however, notes were taken and we hope to make these inside get-togethers even better in the future. Although it must go through the approval process, I believe we will have some kind of celebration in October and, of course, once again a holiday party in December. However, the party will be indoors this year. Outdoors was just too uncomfortable because of the cold weather. Any suggestions and ideas to promote our activities within our walls are always welcome, so bring them to the Recreation Committee and share them with our Board members. One final note. If we don’t use it, we will lose it. This is in regard to the inside Farmer’s Market. Their fruits and vegetables are fresh and varied, the bread and cakes worth taking home and the guacamole and chips are delicious. However, we need more vendors and vendors won’t participate unless they have more sales. This is such a benefit to our residents; please mark your calendars and amble on down or take a bus to the Administration parking lot, on Sunday, from 9 to 2 o’clock and enjoy!

Chris Stevens sang “Tie Me Kangaroo Down,” followed by Tony Tupas, “Great Ball of Fire”; David Noble, “Hernando’s Hideway”; Lou Joseph, “When You’re Smiling”; Evelyn DelVillor, “Run Run Runaway’’; Helen Schultz, “Kansas City”; Tosca Lies, “One Fine Day”; and Mike Breen as well as Pat Ericson, “Sloop John B.” Love songs are popular too. Ron Volgar weighed in with “Love Me Tender,” along with Bill Vickers, “I Got You Under My Skin”; Sally Glauser, “Till There Was You”; Bob Barnam, “Suspicious Mind”; Rosemary Freman, “You Brought A New Kind Of Love”; and Byong Choi, “For The Good Times.” Harold STAGE Regular Joe Mesner loves the peppy tunes like “Singing in the Rain.” Hughes sang “I Like Beer,” and Ren Villaneuva and Vito Villamor sang “Tiny Bubbles.” From page 1 of instrumental sounds. The magic continues unabated today under the leadership of John Mills, who is the son, grandson and nephew of the original group’s members. Mills and Elmer Hopper, who spent 21 years with the Platters, will recreate the inimitable sounds of The Mills Brothers on stage tonight. John Mills had performed with his father, Donald Mills, the last surviving original, since 1982. From the first time The Mills Brothers stepped onto a stage at the Mays Opera House in Piqua, Ohio, more than two generations ago, their distinctive sound captured the fancy of audiences. Honored with a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement in 1998, The Mills Brothers’ harmonies and unmistakable repertoire of hits still resonate with audiences. Among the memorable portfolio of recordings that Mills and Hopper present are “Tiger Rag,” the original group’s first hit from 1928, “Cab Driver,” “Glow Worm,” “Lazy River,” “Yellow Bird,” “Basin Street Blues,” “Opus One,” “Paper Doll” and many others. The parade of Mills Brothers’ recordings continued into the 1990s, when John and his father released their own CD, “Still…There’s You,” a compilation of some of the original group’s greatest songs and new material composed by John. The number of Mills Brothers records sold is uncountable, certainly well into the tens of millions. They had a certifiable hit each year between 1935-1947. The hits kept coming through the mid-1960s with “Cab Driver.” “Paper Doll” alone sold six million copies in its first release, and it was just one of more than 2,000 recordings that produced at least three dozen legitimate hits. In 1974, at the age of 19, Hopper was personally trained by Paul Robi, (the baritone of the original group.) He accompanied Robi on an international tour spanning the globe from Japan and China, to Canada and Australia in what was said to be the best ensemble of The Platters since the group’s inception. Hopper and Robi were best friends for more than 15 years until Robi succumbed to cancer in February 1989. He did not leave Hopper without a final message of inspiration. During a visit, just a few days before Robi passed away, he asked Elmer to “…please continue keeping The Platters’ legacy alive.” Not long after losing his dear friend and mourning the loss of a great team member, Hopper hit the stage with renewed vigor touring the world with The Platters for the next several years. Upon the hospitalization of Donald F. Mills, Sr. of the Mills Brothers, Hopper joined forces with Donald’s son John in June 1999. Forming the newest generation of The Mills Brothers, the pair now recreates the music that has been embraced by audiences since 1922. On tour, Mills and Hopper have combined their talents to present the music in the original keys and with the original scores, which demands a high level of vocal musicality that is rare today. Hopper is a gifted singer who says that performing in the show has been gratifying. “Capacity crowds singing along with familiar songs, rising to their feet cheering through multiple standing ovations... there’s nothing like it,” he said.

Larry Blake LW contributor by Forty years ago area community theaters were at their peak. Anywhere from 50-100 actors showed up at an audition. Times have changed. Now not enough actors show up at an audition, and the theater and director have to scramble to fill the remaining roles. How a play or musical gets chosen is no longer as simple as saying let’s do so-and-so play. Now an analysis must be made to determine if the necessary talent pool is available. There also must be special care in matching the right director with the chosen piece. Neither of those strategies appears to have been used in this revival of “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” now playing at the Attic Theatre in Santa Ana. The musical takes place in front of three houses in a “less fashionable suburb” of ancient Rome. First is the house of Erronius (Jon Rasmussen), “a befuddled old man in search of his children, who were stolen in infancy by pirates.” Second is the house of Marcus Lycus (Seth Weiner), a “seller of the flesh of beautiful women.” It’s the polite way of saying he runs a brothel. Third is the house of Senex (Randy Calcetas) and his wife, the appropriately named Domina (Margie Ikerd). Here lives the protagonist, the slave Pseudolus (Eric J. Hindley), whose goal in life is to buy his freedom. The opportunity for freedom comes when the son of Senex, Hero (Dennis Dyck), falls in love 11 Dance to the Music Classic country to be featured at dance this Saturday in CH 4 Tara Waldschmidt and Dennis Dyck with one of the courtesans in the ten for comedian Phil Silvers, house of Lycus by the name of requires an actor with comic Philia (Tara Waldschmidt). timing skills.

County officials are concerned by the skyrocketing number of mosquitos infected with the virus this year. Usually, 10-20 percent of samples annually collected in Orange County test positive for WNV. This year, the rate has reached 80 percent, according to Jared Deaver, OCVCD director of communications. More than 90 people have been infected with WNV in Orange County. Spraying began Tuesday and is scheduled through Friday, Sept. 11, weather permitting. Duet, a mosquito control product, will be used. It is used throughout the United States to help control adult mosquito populations. Prior to registering a product, the EPA evaluates products thoroughly to be sure there is a “reasonable certainty of no harm” to humans, animals and the environment from their use. Duet is applied in very low dosages—roughly a tablespoon to treat an area the size of a football field—and dissipates quickly, according to an OCVCD press release. There is no need to stay indoors, cover outdoor pet food or replace outdoor water in bowls, ponds and water features, though residents certainly are free to do so. There also is no requirement to cover cars or wash down outdoor play equipment. However, the insecticide is toxic to other insects so beekeepers and those with insects kept outdoors are encouraged to shelter hives and habitats during spraying operations. The cities of Tustin, Orange, Anaheim and Santa Ana have the most WNV activity in mosquitoes and dead birds so far this year. WNV is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. As of Aug. 27, the Orange County Health Care Agency’s Public Health Services reported five human cases of WNV in residents from the cities of Anaheim, Orange, Garden Grove, Newport Beach and Tustin. A combination of warm temperatures, high mosquito trap counts, and high infection rates in mosquitoes indicate that further disease transmission to humans is highly likely. In Leisure World, inspectors check on the flood control channel along Golden Rain Road every 10 days and have stocked mosquito fish in the channel between Leisure World and the Haynes Power Plant. OCVCD has also placed mosquito traps in LW to monitor mosquito activity. The virus is usually transmitted to humans from a bite by an infected mosquito and can cause flu-like symptoms and, in rare instances, death. For most people, the risk of serious illness is low. People 50 or older have the greatest risk of developing serious complications. OCVCD has been working to combat the spread of WNV through public outreach and expansion of adult mosquito control activities in neighborhoods, parks, and other public gathering spaces. OCVCD has also continued to intensify ground-based control efforts, but the activities have not significantly reduced adult mosquito populations. The decision to use adult mosquito control application by aircraft is based on surveillance information and the documentation of WNV activity at a level that indicates a threat to human health. The application is concentrated in areas most at-risk for disease occurrence and is conducted by certified and licensed applicators, according to the press release. The agency is aware of public concerns and has dedicated a page regarding WNV on its website at www.ocvcd.org/WNVThreatGauge. php and a frequently-asked-questions page at www.ocvcd.org/ARCFAQ.php. The District may postpone or cancel the scheduled treatment due to unfavorable weather conditions or other factors.

It became the longest running musical in its time. The original cast recording went on to become the best-selling album in the country, spending more than 300 weeks on the charts, many of them at No. 1.

The Golden Rain Foundation will present a free dance featuring Leisure World’s own Linda Herman playing ballroom music. The weekly dance starts at 7 p.m. on Sept. 12 in Clubhouse 1. Herman will play music from the 1940s to 2015 and everything in between. Although the instrument Herman plays looks like an accordion, it really isn’t. Digital music synthesizers are joined together with a sound modifier that looks like a bellows. The fancy technology allows the player to sound like any single instrument or even a whole band or orchestra. For example, the instrument can sound like any of six bagpipes or 21 different accordions. Herman is proud of the fact that she uses no pre-recorded backing tracks, preferring instead to produce every note “on-the-fly.” She has a library of over 2,000 tunes to ensure a wide variety of music. Featured will be the old standards and newer dance music. The music that Herman performs is danceable, anchored by the steady beat laid down by drummer Leo Groenveld.

So the Seal Beach International Friendship Association (SBIFA) is inviting the public to explore this exciting destination from north to south in JBB (Jackie Baird-Bunker) Productions’ latest release, “Ethiopia – An African Kaleidoscope.” Ethiopia, an African nation that has never been colonized, offers a very different travel experience than trips in the more well-known African destinations of Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and South Africa. There are no large game parks teeming with animals and guaranteed sightings of the big five. Instead, Ethiopia offers a diversity of sights and experiences that will delight even the most seasoned adventurers. The Nile River, longest river in the world, begins its long journey in the northern mountains of Ethiopia, where magnificent stone churches have been carved from granite. Simien Mountain National Park is home to large troops of Bleeding Heart Baboons and the hiking, peak climbing, and scenery is spectacular. In the arid, remote Omo Valley far to the south of Ethiopia it is possible to make contact with various colorful ethnic tribes living as their ancestors did 500 years ago. Saturday markets where these people come to buy and sell are very colorful. SBIFA’s dinner meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m on Thursday, Sept. 17, at the Mary Wilson Library Senior Center, 707 Electric Ave., Seal Beach. The cost is $15 for non-members or $27 for couples; $12 for members or $22 for member couples. Students age 21 and under are $10. RSVP by Sept. 13 with Claire Yeh, [email protected] or 431-5414. Seats and parking are limited. Reservations are required and will be taken on a first-come, first-serve basis. Pay by check or exact amount at the door. A courtesy call is requested to cancel so that those on the wait list may be accommodated.

They can no longer act like Mickey and Judy and shout let’s put on a show and expect it to all happen magically or through some kind of theatrical osmosis. This production was not wisely planned.

Gretchen was preceded in death by her husband, Clyde, and her son Kenneth. She is survived by her two sons James and Richard, six grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. Her parents came to America through Ellis Island in 1922 from Denmark and settled in Illinois. She grew up in the south side of Chicago and was surrounded by a close knit Danish community. Like so many others she moved to California after the end of WWII, and raised her family in Lakewood, California. Gretchen was active in the Eastern Star, her church and many other activities within Leisure World. Gretchen was known for being quite a seamstress and frequently wore shirts and blouses of her creation. She lived in Leisure World for 35 years volunteering daily in the medical center and was often seen pedaling her bicycle around the community. The Golden Age Foundation recently recognized her with a service award commemorating her 20,000 hours of volunteer work. There will be no local services. Gretchen requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the journalism program at Port of Los Angeles High School. Checks should be made to POLAHS and be sent to 250 W. 5th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731, attn. Rachael Lopez-Lavalle. ••• O’Brien, Patricia 1927-2015 Patricia Bernadette O’Brien passed peacefully on Sept. 2, 2015, at the age of 88. Her husband of 63 years, Dick, as well as her children, relatives, close friends, and caregivers surrounded her in her last days. Patricia was born on Feb. 2, 1927. In Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Mathias and Bernadette Becker. She was the sister of Ralph, George, Paul, and Rosemary. Pat grew up in the great depression, and sometimes talked about her humble start in life. She said that despite the hardships, it was a time when families were close, all the money was shared, and people took care of each other. Growing up, Pat found her niche in academics. She was an excellent student, and was proud to receive a scholarship and attend St. Mary’s Academy in Inglewood, California. Later, she attended Mount St. Mary’s College in Los Angeles, where she studied microbiology and graduated magna cum laude. For the rest of her life, Pat was an active alumnus, and promoted charitable fundraising events throughout her life. After college, Pat worked at the lab of a local hospital. One day she went to a friend’s backyard party, and met Dick O’Brien, a young WWII veteran. They married one year later. As newlyweds, they built their first house on Barlin Avenue in Lakewood, and attended St. Pancratius Church. Soon afterwards, the children started to arrive. Dick started a new job with Mattel Toys in El Segundo. With a growing family, they moved to the new community of Redondo Beach. They became founding members of St. Lawrence Martyr Church in Redondo Beach. The church played a central role in their marriage and their family. They sent their eight children through St. Lawrence Martyr and later Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance. Pat was an active member of the St. Lawrence Guild, and had lifelong friendships with many people in the church. When her youngest child was in third grade, Pat returned to work at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Torrance. She worked in the lab as a med tech. Pat loved her work in the hospital. For 20 years, Pat became an expert at helping people get better. Pat and Dick moved to a new community in Newport Coast, California. They were regular attendees at St. Anne’s Church in Irvine. Pat had retired, yet she volunteered weekly at Irvine Regional Hospital. Her grandchildren often visited, and enjoyed many hours gardening and crafting with them. She enjoyed her gardening, knitting, and religiously watching her L.A. Clipper team. Pat and Dick moved to Leisure Obituaries World Seal Beach in 2012. They were blessed to have wonderful neighbors who were so kind to Pat in her last few years. Pat had developed significant health problems that would have kept anyone else in bed; yet time after time she rallied to get well. At the end of her life, Pat had loving family, friends, neighbors, and caregivers who sat with her, shared stories, and reflected on her long life. Her husband, Dick, and children, Molly Phillips, Teri O’Brien, Catherine O’Brien, Julie O’Brien, Tom O’Brien, Mary Csere, Mike O’Brien, and Eileen Andersen, are grateful for the love and support Pat received at this time. She will be missed by her sons-in-law John Phillips, Csaba Csere, and Robert Andersen, her daughter-in-law Kim, as well as her grandchildren Ian and Sean O’Brien, Shannon Becker O’Brien, Madeline Csere and Mimi Anderson. Over the years, Pat had so many friends that is difficult to list them here. As she transitioned, and could no longer speak, the family sat with her and shared story after story of those earlier times. It gave her great comfort. At the time she passed, she said was ready to join her family and friends that went before. Pat wanted academic opportunities for all children. In lieu of flowers, a donation to St. Mary’s Academy in Inglewood, California, would please Pat immeasurably. Her life will be celebrated with a funeral mass on Sept. 12 at 10 a.m. at St. Pancratius Catholic Church, 3519 St. Pancratius Place, in Lakewood. —paid obituary ••• In Memoriam Judith Albert 73 Gary Fodor 74 Kenneth Lial 68 Donald Frank Sr 64 Grace Rubilotta 91 Harold Martel 91 Phyllis Marshall 83 Barbara Jean Hall 80 Raul Tinoco Perez 72 Eulas Rook 97 Marilyn Barlow 78 Cecil Rye 99 Linda Jacks 63 Norman VnTassel 73 Ruth Meadows 90 Kathryn F, Ashford-Coomber 71 John Flavin 91 Stanley Heine 89 Families assisted by McKenzie Mortuary, 961-9301 —paid obituary From page 20 RV Paint has provided quality RV repair and maintenance for many club members.
