From page 1 rust-eaten Leisure World globe has been a challenging project, according to David Rudge, the GRF Physical Property project coordinator who is overseeing the work. About 1,200 feet of rusty tubing has been replaced with galvanized sand-blasted steel. Stretch Solutions LLC in Corona built a die to form the exact curve of the globe and then contoured 70 huge sheets of galvannealed steel from which the continents are being cut. The crew from Electrolurgy Fabricators, a Santa Ana tube bending and fabrication company, spent the last three weeks cutting continents from 48-by-84-inch sheets. The work is being done in front of the globe. The cost of the project is about $350,000. The globe has graced the entrance of Leisure World since 1962, when developer Ross Cortese finished building a new kind of community just for senior citizens.

Seal Beach Village shopping center 3 Seal Beach Leisure World Golden Rain News/September 8, 2016 4 NEWS PERSPECTIVES President’s Column CAROLE DAMOCI GRF PRESIDENT BY Executive Director RANDY ANKENY GRF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BY In its simplest sense, transparency in the operations of GRF means clear, unhindered honesty in the way day to day operations of GRF are conducted. But it’s more than that. One business dictionary defines transparency as a “lack of hidden agendas or conditions, accompanied by the availability of full information required for collaboration, cooperation, and collective decision making.” The same source describes it as an “essential condition for a free and open exchange whereby the rules and reasons behind regulatory measures are fair and clear to all participants.” Meanwhile, another source defines transparency as “the full, accurate, and timely disclosure of information.” In other words, transparency is more than simple honesty—much more. In all fairness, the first thoughts of the idea of exposing the internal operations can be a scary thing. Augmenting the daunting aspect of full exposure are the many and varied perceptions on what transparent operations truly is. Let’s look at the basics of community governance: • Notice to Members. Unless the governing documents require longer period of notice, members must be given notice of the time and place of board meetings at least four (4) days prior to the meeting. (Civ. Code §4920(a).) Notice can be given by general delivery (Civ. Code §4920(c).) Notice, which must include an agenda, may be given by any of the following methods: Electronic, Mail, Newsletter or Posted in Common Areas. GRF not only posts its Board meetings, it also posts all committee meetings, Sub-committee and Ad Hoc Committee meetings. Meeting schedules are posted in the News as well as on the GRF web site (www.lwsb.com) • Board meeting agendas must be posted along with the notice of meeting. (Civ. Code §4920.) With few exceptions, boards are not allowed to discuss or take action on any item not on the agenda (Civil Code §4930(a)). Full Board agendas are posted in the News and Committee agendas, including supportive documents, are posted on the GRF web site. Access to a wealth of information can be gained by going to www.lwsb.com, clicking on the Golden Rain Foundation tab and then click documents; for committees, click on Agendas and Minutes tabs. Then by clicking on any folder, you have access to the agenda, support materials and meeting minutes. Screen of committee folders: Sample Screen of Committee Documents Four years ago, my second term on the GRF Board, I was a member of the Recreation Committee. At a meeting in September 2013, the subject of dancing in front of the stage was brought up. At that meeting a staff member stated that the Fire Department said that we shouldn’t allow dancing in front because if there was a fire, the Shareholder/members would have trouble getting out. That was later proved not to be a true statement. At the same meeting it was brought up that a lot of handicapped people sat in that area and the dancers blocked their view of the stage. The Committee voted to approve a set of rules for the Amphitheater, which stated that dancing was only allowed on the raised platforms on both sides of the stage. Dancing came up again the next year and the committee suggested that we improve the dance platforms. Physical Property took it up and the dance platforms were improved adding lights and railings. The dancers at that time said they couldn’t see the stage from that area. Again it was said only to allow dancing on the platforms and not in front. Last year it came up again and the outcome was the same. This year (Aug. 10, 2016) a new “No Dancing policy” (140950) was approved unanimously by the Recreation Committee to be sent to the Aug. 23 full Board meeting. The GRF Board voted and the policy was approved with one (1) no vote. At this time the policy stands. At a Sunshine Club meeting I was speaking at a few months after the first Recreation Committee meeting I repeated the information I was told about the Fire Department. That was not true but I didn’t know it at the time. Since I learned the truth I have never repeated that statement. So I apologize to anyone who believes I’ve misled them. I can understand how important dancing is to some people. Before I broke my ankle many years ago I also loved to dance. Part of the Golden Rain budget is providing a dance every Saturday night for all shareholder/ members who wish to participate with their friends and neighbors. I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ve heard on this subject. Setting It Straight The posting of the meeting times and agendas are a call to action. By statute, Shareholder/Members can watch committees and the Board conduct business. In addition, they can address the board during the open forum portion of the meeting. This is the same policy followed by municipalities at city council meetings. The open forum See TRANSPARENCY, page 5 An incorrect date was published in the Senior Patriots story in the Sept. 1 edition of The News. The movie “Paying the Price for Peace: The Story of S. Brian Willson” will be screened on Friday, Sept. 9, at 1 p.m. in Clubhouse 4. Main Gate 594-4754 Outside the Wall Governor signs Non-Probate Transfers on Death Deed bill BY LES H COHEN, MUTUAL 15 LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE EMERITUS/OMBUDSMAN Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law AB 1779 (Gatto D-Glendale) as Chapter 179 Statutes of 2016 on Aug. 25. The law, sponsored by Leisure World, is the equal protection measure to ensure residents (coops) will eventually be included in the recently enacted law on revocable transfers on death deed (TODD) (AB 139.) Previously when reading the provisions of AB 139 it was discovered by the GRF attorneys and concurred in by Legislative Counsel that there are unintended consequences with regards to Leisure World residents (co-ops) as well as all co-ops statewide. AB 1779 passed both houses of the Assembly and Senate committees unanimously, with strong support from Senator Moorlach (R-Costa Mesa), Senator Nguyen (R-Garden Grove ) and Assemblymember Allen (R-Huntington Beach). The Community Associations and GRF supported the measure. Residents owe debt of gratitude to author Assemblymember Mike Gatto who promised to correct the problem.

The office is open every day from noon-5 p.m. LW Democratic Club members will staff the office on Fridays. Democrats are invited to visit the office for information about the upcoming election and to shop for buttons, signs and other campaign accessories. All LW Democrats are invited to the club’s membership meeting at 1 p.m. on Sept. 20 in Clubhouse 4 for a discussion of the propositions on the November ballot. Copies of the Democratic Party’s recommendations will be provided. Included among the 18 November ballot measures is Proposition 60, the “California Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act,” which is intended to strengthen laws that require condom use by adult film performers working in California. It is interesting to note that both the Democratic and Republican Parties oppose this proposition. There is a concern that this will be expensive, hard to enforce, and, ironically, could ultimately be dangerous for sex workers.

The thoughts of community are valued; please do note, if you are not able to attend a committee meeting, all correspondence and emails are forwarded to the committee for review and consideration. All Shareholder/Members have a right to know. GRF has expanded all aspects of open and transparent operations, in many areas exceeding the requirements of the Civil Code.

By involving the community in the governance process of Trust Property, the Board, as your duly elected officials, gets a better idea of what our fellow Shareholders/Members actually want or need. Can each individual’s wants and needs be served? The answer is No; can the mutual needs representing a majority of the community be met? The answer is Yes. Please take the time to review the agendas when posted and, most importantly when you have a concern on a pending committee action, the time to address the matter is before the action is taken, not after. paign, the Democratic Club will also host Assembly candidate Lenore Albert-Sheridan and Los Alamitos Unified School District candidate Karen Russell at the Sept. 20 meeting.

Volunteers monitor blood pressure for residents BY WILLIAM NAFTEL, M.D. HEALTH CARE CENTER BY SUSAN MORALES LOS ALAMITOS MEDICAL Many patients ask whether screening for prostate cancer is necessary. Some have heard that the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test is “useless,” and that routine prostate cancer screening is no longer recommended. Actually, the PSA blood test and the digital rectal exam are still the best tools available for detecting prostate cancer before symptoms appear. And finding it early increases the chances of successful treatment. Prostate cancer is the secondmost common type of cancer among men in this country. It is also the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in American men. So why aren’t routine prostate cancer screenings recommended any more? The guidelines changed because the medical field now knows that most forms of prostate cancer grow very slowly. In fact, most men who have it do not die of it. This means not all prostate cancers may need aggressive treatment, like surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. While prostate cancer may be a serious condition, the PSA blood test has Joyce Ingram didn’t have a medical background when she signed up six years ago to volunteer at the Health Care Center on Golden Rain Road. Still, the retired software engineer quickly found her niche: providing free blood pressure screenings inside the Health Care Center lobby. Now Joyce has her “regulars” — Health Care Center patients, Leisure World residents, visitors and caregivers who come for the screenings offered from 9-11:30 a.m. and from 1-3:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. She also trains other volunteers how to do it. The Health Care Center provides the free blood pressure screenings as a public service. Ingram and other volunteers record each reading on a personal card for the individual to keep. If that person is a Health Care Center patient, the reading is also written down for the primary care team. And if someone’s blood pressure is high, Ingram does not hesitate to notify the Health Care Center staff. A nurse will come out to the lobby, take the blood pressure a second time, and assess the situation. Ingram remembers twice when people who came in for William Naftel, M.D. led to biopsies and over-treatment in some men who may not have needed it. And that is why several organizations including the American Urological Association, American Cancer Society and Centers for Disease Control no longer recommend routine PSA screenings for all men after a certain age. But what is right for you? Before deciding whether or not to undergo prostate cancer screening, talk to a doctor about personal risks. And ask yourself what you would do if the results were abSee NAFTEL, page 7 CENTER 2016 Purchasing Department Price List PRICES ARE FOR MATERIALS ONLY! — REVISED 09/01/2016 ALL TAXES INCLUDED (LABOR $39.00 PER HOUR ) WHITE COOK TOP……………… $176.95 KITCHEN SINK—WHITE …..…..$284.16 STAINLESS STEEL COOK TOP$202.29 KITCHEN SINK— BISCUIT ……$369.46 BLACK COOK TOP………………$185.11 KITCHEN SINK—ALMOND….. $309.83 WHITE OVEN……………………… $625.59 BLACK OVEN……………………… $623.55 KITCHEN FAUCET– DELTA.. $81.19 STAINLESS OVEN……………… $906.49 KITCHEN FAUCET SPRAYER—DELTA $88.28 BATHROOM FAUCET— DELTA $71.63 WHITE REFRIGERATOR…….. $553.92 BATHROOM WIDESPREAD FAUCET— BISQUE REFRIGERATOR ….. $553.92 DELTA ………………………………… $144.35 BLACK REFRIGERATOR……..$553.92 Stainless Steel Refrig………$703.80 30 GALLON WATER HEATER 12 YR. $468.12 ( TOILETS INCLUDE TANK, BOWL & TOILET SEAT) TOILET— STANDARD -WHITE $165.95 TOILET—STANDARD—BONE $228.50 GARBAGE DISPOSAL………….$163.03 TOILET– HI BOY—WHITE……. $193.81 BATHROOM Fan/HEATER….$ 192.78 TOILET—HI BOY—BONE………. $305.13 Round toilet seat: white $11.37 BATHROOM SINK WHITE—ROUND Round toilet seat: bone $11.37 …………………………………………….. $44.78 Elongated toilet seat: white $13.86 BATHROOM SINK— BONE— ROUND Elongated Toilet seat: bone $13.86 …………………………………………….. $60.88 BATHROOM SINK—WHITE— OVAL MUT-15- Gerber………………….. $31.51 BATHROOM SINK—ALMOND— OVAL MUT-15………………………….. $77.36 PURCHASING DEPARTMENT PHONE NO. 562-431-6586 Geoff—Purchasing Assist-Ext 308 ROSENDO-STORE KEEPER— EXT. 306 BATHROOM SINK –WHITE CHINA MARSHA–PURCHASING COORD—EXT. 309 BASIN MUT–17…….…………… $47.37 JULIE - PURCHASING MANAGER - EXT. 307 STORE HOURS MONDAY— FRIDAY 8:00 AM TO 4:30 PM The above pricing is subject to change without notice.

There are many factors to consider before taking the next step, which would be a prostate biopsy: • How long has the PSA been elevated? A series of test results over time may provide more helpful information. • Could something other than cancer be causing an elevated PSA? An infection or another prostate problem may influence the test result. • Your age and overall health. After age 75, there may be other medical conditions to consider before undergoing surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. A prostate biopsy is not an insignificant test, and there is the possibility of infection. The new guidelines recommend informed decision making instead of routine screenings. Discuss prostate cancer screening with your doctor. Make this personal decision based on all the available information, including the possible benefits, risks and limits. An abnormal PSA test result may be caused by something other than prostate cancer, such as an enlarged prostate or infection. Report any of the following symptoms to your doctor, so the cause may be found and treated, if necessary: • Difficulty urinating, including a slow or weak stream • More frequent urination, especially at night • Blood in urine • Loss of bladder control Board-certified urologist William Naftel, M.D., is in practice at Coast Urological Medical Group, where he provides care and surgical treatment for diseases and conditions of the kidney, bladder, urinary tract and male reproductive system.

Los Angeles ‘Queen of Angels’ has rich history When thinking of Los Angeles, show business is the first thing that usually comes to mind, since it is the land of movie studios, rich stars, valet parking and shopping on Rodeo Drive. However, there is also a rich history in the sundrenched city that stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the downtown skyscrapers and beyond. In 1769, Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portola dedicated the new town Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles – Our Lady the Queen of the Angels. Since then, the city has been a colorful melting pot of humanity and cultures. Wagon trains brought pioneers in the mid1800s, and during the gold rush, local farmers made their fortunes by supplying hungry prospectors with food. All were drawn to Los Angeles by dreams of untold riches and balmy weather. Some succeeded and invested in the growing city, managing to establish businesses and building the hotels, libraries, museums and theaters that are an important part of LA’s culture and history. The movie industry came to the area in the late 1800s, but it wasn’t until filmmakers like D. W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille arrived, drawn to the mild climate and long daylight hours, that Hollywood was born. Today, Native American and Spanish architecture and cultural influences sit comfortably alongside the glitz of “Tinseltown” and the cosmopolitan sophistication of Los Angeles. For more than 35 years the Los Angeles Conservancy has offered walking tours, special events and other programs to bring Los Angeles residents and visitors closer to the beautiful buildings and unique spaces that make Los Angeles County special. To learn more about the conservancy’s tours, events and projects visit www.laconservancy.org. Gerasimos “Gerry” Toumasis passed away from cancer on Aug. 27, 2016. Toumasis was born on Jan. 30, 1930, on the island of Kefalonia, Greece. He married Kyriaky Tsikalakis in 1960 and lived in Athens, Greece, where he owned a shipping company, and worked as a newspaper writer and political activist. In 1961, Mr. and Mrs. Toumasis had their first child, Theodosios, who is named after his grandfather. The family immigrated to the United States in 1966 and settled in Syracuse, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Toumasis both worked for men’s suit clothier Learbury, for the remainder of their careers, Mrs. Toumasis as a seamstress and Mr. Toumasis as a shipping manager. In 1969, they had their second child, Peter. The Toumasis family raised their sons in Syracuse and were active in their church and community. Both sons moved to California in the 1990s and were joined in 2006 by their parents, who retired to Leisure World to be closer to their boys and grandchildren. Mr. Toumasis is survived by his wife, Kyriaky, his sons Aki and Peter, his daughter-in-laws Julie and Leila, and his granddaughters Kalia and Zoe. Mr. Toumasis was buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cypress, California, on Aug. 31. ••• In Memoriam David Marion 67 Benjamin Morimoto 76 Jon Smith 45 Hayden Shockley 20 Eileen Ferguson 79 Everado Aro Jr 65 Frances Roberts 88 Bertram Mackrell 92 Eva Moy 97 Lula Womack 62 Wendell Frost 59 Families assisted by McKenzie Mortuary, 961-9301 —paid obituary QUICK From page 2 p.m., Clubhouse 4 • NFL RedZone, 10 a.m., Clubhouse 1 lobby • L.A.
