Editor
For many years, I’ve listened to your telephone reports made to
Watch Your Step.
Someone you don’t know calls, tries to trick you into operating
your computer, a scam reported here many times.
Now, after all those years, it hit home.
Early in my shift on Feb. 23, the phone rang, an outside call.
I heard only crackling on the line before what sounded like a very
young voice mumbling something.
I perked up my ear to see if it was a grandchild calling, when a
man spoke slowly:
“Your computer ...,” his voice cracking, “I’m calling about your
computer.”

ommended that the GRF Board
of Directors write a letter to the
Seal Beach Police Department
requesting help with enforcement. The GRF Board issued that
request in January.
The board also voted to extend
red striping from 15- to 30-feet
in front of all fire hydrants on
trust property, in keeping with
California Vehicle Code 22514.
Red curb violators could receive
tickets with $73 fines, which will
be subject to late fees.
The City of Seal Beach will
handle appeals.
“Remember, when you block
a red curb, you are blocking emergency response to your neighbors
and family,” said Mayor MassaLavitt.

the top 10 property tax payers are:

Living, ASN Long Beach LLC,
Boeing North American, Shops at
Rossmoor, Dendreon Manufacturing, OXY Long Beach, Old Ranch
Town Center, Leisure World,
Surfside Rental Properties and
Terra Funding-Bixby Ranch LLC.
Property tax revenues are
expected to tally $7.4 million.
Receipts are ahead of the same
time last year by $222,000, with
year-end projections better than
budgeted expectations.
Overall, general fund revenues are budgeted at $29.9 million, with expenditures at $29.8
million, excluding $7.5 million in
capital projects set for 2015-2016.

taking several gas stations, according to Beatley.
Sales Tax
Sales tax is budgeted to bring
$4.4 million into city coffers. The
top sales tax payers are Bed, Bath
& Beyond, Chevron, Conkle 76,
Energy Tubulars, Home Goods,
Kohls, Marshalls, Pavilions,
Ralphs and Target.
The city’s sales tax composition includes 39 percent from
general consumer goods, 26 percent from hotels and restaurants,
14 percent from fuel and service
stations and 21 percent from all
others.
All of the other general
fund revenues are less than the
same period last year by about
$362,000. Beatley cited declines
in business license revenue, parking citations and refuse services,
mostly due to timing differences
in the revenue collection, as reasons for the decline.
“We have well-funded reserves,” she told the council,
an important factor when faced
with declining revenues. “I’m not
raising any red flags yet. Staff
reviews (expenses) all the time to
make sure we are staying within
our means.”
General fund expenditures
are 41 percent of budget, which
is where they are expected to be
for the period ended Dec. 31,
2015. Additionally, compared
to the same period, total general fund expenditures are less
than the same period last year
by approximately $93,700. The
primary reason for the decline is
the timing of CIP transfers.
Property Tax
The net taxable value increase
in Seal Beach is 3.9 percent,
while the county increased 5.9
percent. Assessed property values
increased $189 million. The median home price in Seal Beach is
$985,000 as of December, a 6.2
percent jump from 2014. Among

Employment Opportunities
Calls have started circulating
in Leisure World from scammers
who misrepresent Verizon.
Marked ”urgent,” the recorded message received by Mary
Jean Tusha told her that her code
number had to be changed. To do
that, she was instructed to push
the ‘1’ button on her phone.
The disbelieving Mutual 16
resident immediately called the
real Verizon, only to learn that it
is not calling customers and that
all such calls should be taken as
scams.
“I’m sick of all these calls,”
said Tusha. “It seems like all they
want is money, or to get me to do
something I don’t want to do.”

New bill could end daylight
savings time in California
Les H. Cohen, Mutual 15
Legislative Advocate Emeritus/OC Ombudsman
by
When completed, Assembly Bill 2496, introduced as a “spot bill” by Assembly member Kansen
Chu (D-San Jose), would end daylight saving time
in California if voters approve a future initiative. It
would change a previous voter-approved initiative
adopted 67 years ago. Chu expects the legislation
to be controversial.
According to research done by Chu, there is Les H. Cohen
evidence that it correlates with an uptick in workplace accidents. There is also evidence that it does not limit energy
consumption. After instituting daylight saving time in 2006, one
study found that Indiana used more electricity.
AB 2496 would end the practice in California undoing a law
that voters approved in 1949 as Proposition 12. According to Chu,
an “End Daylight Saving Time” page on a website that sends form
letters to Congress generated over 80,000 missives.
Letter writers call the tradition nonsense, maddening and antiquated
and complain that it disrupts internal clocks, linking the change to
increased heart attacks.
The assemblyman said that California should be leading the
change away from daylight saving time.
“I heard many complaints last year from many seniors in my
district and their care providers who say that the one-hour difference
negatively impacted their lives,”said Chu.
Right now the “spot bill” declares the Legislature’s intent to
establish United States Standard Pacific Time as the standard time
within the state during the entire year.
Stay tuned.

The community unity displayed in Seal Beach Leisure

unpaid volunteer board members
duly elected to serve their mutual

years. What better way to create
and sustain a community such as
Leisure World then by volunteering time toward the governance

This community was founded

and Dr. Pugach already ‘fixed’ my friend, John, a few months ago, says George. “He’s doing
great and I look forward to the same experience!”
Additionally, Dr. Pugach will proctor two additional cases as he trains a physician. He serves as
medical director of the partnership offering the minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment to
qualifying patients as well as offering training and proctorship to physicians.
Initially, Pugach will offer HIFU treatment and training with the Sonablate in Los Alamitos,
Calif. at the Los Alamitos Surgery Center. Renowned for its expert clinical staff, the
anesthesiologists, nurses and technicians at the center pride themselves on providing
personalized, expert care.
“We have an excellent location to serve the patients we see at our Los Alamitos, Beverly Hills
and Huntington Beach offices. We will be the premier treatment center for patients in greater
Los Angeles, Orange County and all of southern California as well as those travelling from other
states,” said Pugach. “I am excited to be the lead teacher of other urologists who will be treating
patients at our center and will personally proctor them so they can achieve the excellent results I
have seen in the 10 years I have been performing this remarkable procedure.”
“While I have performed thousands of surgical procedures for prostate disease, and I am the

surgery or radiation.

We have exciting news from the Health Care
Center.
Students from the community nursing program
at California State University, Long Beach, will
be here on Mondays and Thursdays through April.
Be sure to stop by and meet them at the health
information booth in the HCC lobby. It will be
a good opportunity to ask the nursing students
Diane Gebel
questions about health.
Take home some helpful health and wellness information on:
• Nutrition
• Exercise
• Sleep
• Home Safety
• Stress management
• Emergency preparedness
Additionally, you’ll want to pick up the free, wallet-sized health
and medication information sheet. Complete the handy, two-sided
form, and keep it with you wherever you go.
Two students will visit residents’ homes to answer questions about
nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep issues, fall prevention,
fire safety and emergency preparedness.
The free service has been popular in other senior communities,
and I encourage you to take advantage of it.
Appointments are still available through April. For more information, visit the health information booth in the lobby or call me
at 795-6285.

One final thought: medication refills. It’s a good practice to keep
an ample supply of necessary medication on hand in the event of
an emergency or natural disaster.

WATER
From page 1
lion acre-feet of water conserved from June 2015 through January, the state is 96 percent of the way toward reaching its goal of
1.2 million acre-feet of water to be saved by the end of February,
an unprecedented conservation achievement, according to a press
release from the State Water Resouces Control Board (SWRCB).
Nonetheless, California remains in a record drought. The state
is urging residents to maintain water-saving habits and continue
conserving by reducing or eliminating outdoor irrigation when it’s
wet and keeping household water use to the essentials.
“We’re hoping for every raindrop and every snowflake we can
handle. We’re hoping for a miracle March and an awesome April. But
we can’t know what the next couple months will bring. And a warm
and dry February has proved that we can’t count on El Niño to save
us,” said State Water Resources Control Board Chair Felicia Marcus.
Statewide, the conservation rate dropped from 18.4 percent in
December to 17.1 percent in January, likely because January 2016
was warmer than January 2013. Residents generally use much less
water for outdoor irrigation in the winter months, so there’s less
opportunity for savings. Nonetheless, average per capita water use
declined from 67 gallons per person per day in December 2015 to
61 gallons in January, the lowest statewide per-person rate since
water-use reporting began in June 2014.
With the drier than expected February, and lower January conservation results, Californians are urged to switch to once-a-week
watering schedules, not irrigate outdoors during and within 48 hours
after a rain event and fix leaks that are discovered during individual
water user audits.
In November 2015, Gov. Brown issued an executive order directing the SWCRB to extend and revise the drought emergency water
conservation regulation based on conditions through January. The
board adopted an updated and extended emergency regulation on
Feb. 2, which took effect Feb. 11.
The SWRCB may revisit the regulations based on a review of
the statewide water supply and drought status in March and April.
This review will include considering reservoir level reports and snow
pack totals, among other data.

A materials fee of $10 is payable at the class. That covers enough
glass to make two three-inch squares, decorative pieces and the
forms for slumping. Fused pieces can be picked up the following
day; slumped pieces take and additional day.
Why we offer
new patients a $1900 exam,
x-ray & cleaning special. (Reg. $292)
(In the absence of gum disease.)
One of our goals is to discover small dental
problems before they become big ones.

estimates that for every dollar spent on
preventive care, $8 to $50 is saved in restorative
and emergency procedures.

Ray and the Idols
Gala dinner will feature Idols March 12
Members of the Let the Good Times Roll Club are busy preparing
for their gala dinner dance to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. It will be
held at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 12, in Clubhouse 4. Doors will
open at 5, and there will be background music with Irish melodies
before and during dinner.
The Ray and the Idols band will provide dancing and listening
music after a scrumptious corned beef dinner,” said Frank Destra,
club president. “And this year I’m going to be sure to not wear out
my legs, so I can enjoy dancing.” During the band breaks, club
members will keep the music going with CDs.
Club members will serve the dinner after decorating the clubhouse
and setting all the tables. This project raises funds to help the club
produce bimonthly shows with free coffee and snacks for the guests.
Tickets are $25 and include dinner, dessert, beverages and live
band music. The traditional Irish dinner will include salad, rye
bread, slices of corned beef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes and green
ice cream for dessert.
Green non-alcoholic punch, coffee and water will be supplied.
Guests who prefer their own beverages will find ice and glasses
available.
Everyone is welcome. St. Patrick’s garb and accessories are encouraged. This is a reservation-only event. Call Frank and Martha
Destra at 431-6368 as soon as possible for best table selection.

Happy Birthday
LWer finds her heirloom ring when treating herself
Dee Gardner’s heart sank and
her stomach did flips when she
looked down and noticed her
family heirloom ring was missing
from her hand. She had worn it
for 45 years.
The ring was made from a ring
she gave her mother and her own
wedding set. Her father presented
it to her mother. “It meant love to
me of my parents and I prayed to
find it,” she said.
She had attended a dinner at
Good Shepherd Church on Dec.
1 and then went on a couple of
errands before returning to her
Mutual 3 apartment about 11 p.m.
Everything was closed. She
called LW security and the guard
helped her retrace her steps and
checked her car, to no avail.
She did not sleep all night.
The next morning she called
everywhere she had been. CVS
and Ross checked their security
tapes, Good Shepherd checked
the vacuum and grounds.
No luck, so she called every
pawn shop, made a police report
and put an ad in the Orange
County Register. Still nothing.
She finally gave up ever seeing
the ring again.
As her birthday approached
Feb. 14, she decided to go to
pawn shops and see if they had
anything she could buy to help
fill the void.
She spent an entire day visiting pawn shops. She was tired
and decided she would continue
her search the next morning when
she was fresh.
When she arrived home her
neighbor Paul Ballard suggested
a pawn shop in Westminster.
She went there the next morning and for the first time pulled
out the photo of her ring and
said, “I’m looking for a ring. I
lost this one.”
The clerk turned pale and led
her to the ladies’ rings. He took
out the ring.
“That’s my ring!”
She tried it on and of course
it fit.
“I started crying and we all
hugged,” she exclaimed.
The ring was pawned by
someone who found it down the
street from her last stop, Ross
DEE GARDNER thought
she would never see her ring
again.
Dress for Less.
The pawn shop owner charged
her only what he had paid for
the ring.
“I am still in disbelief,” she
said. “I had the ring made for my
birthday in February 1971, wore
it for 45 years, lost it Dec. 1 and
found it on my birthday. All the

Where We Live
Members compile wish list of improvements
The Where We Live Club has
a broad focus and is looking for
ways to enhance the livability of
the community. Members met
Feb. 18 to discuss improvements
and changes that will benefit the
community.
Rose Weldon, secretary, led
the meeting and encouraged
attendees to state their wishes.
She wrote each suggestion on a
chalkboard until members were
satisfied with the list.
Members then decided on one
item from the list to be the club’s
focus to bring the community
together toward a common goal.
The resulting wish list is as
follows:
• Greater transparency and
better communication about
important issues from the GRF
Board—answers to questions
without a four minute talk limit;
• More say on how money is
being spent;
• An updated community
name;
• Covering the storm channel;
• Merging the mutuals;
• Smaller buses with better use
of available transport services;
• Professional community
management.
Those gathered discussed

Round-table discussion set March 6
If humanism means anything at all, it must embrace respect and

to all people regardless of color or ethnic background?

M.A. and Beverly Emus.
The discussion will take place on Sunday, March 6, from 10 a.m.noon in Clubhouse 6, Room B. Sunday’s discussion will focus on

The Basic Rules of Sudoku:
• There is only one valid solution to each Sudoku puzzle. The only way the puzzle can be considered solved
correctly is when all 81 boxes contain numbers and the other Sudoku rules have been followed.
• When you start a game of Sudoku, some blocks will be pre-filled for you. You cannot change these numbers in the course of the game.
• Each column must contain all of the numbers 1 through 9 and no two numbers in the same column of a
Sudoku puzzle can be the same.
• Each row must contain all of the numbers 1 through 9 and no two numbers in the same row of a Sudoku
puzzle can be the same.
• Each block must contain all of the numbers 1 through 9 and no two numbers in the same block of a
Sudoku puzzle can be the same.

McDonald, Byron Aloysius
1920-2016
Byron Aloysius McDonald,
born Oct. 30, 1920, passed away
while in hospice care in his home
in Seal Beach, on Feb. 1, 2016.
Born to parents James Hickman and Theresa (Pittmann)
and raised in Pueblo, Colorado,
Byron, or “Mac” as he was nicknamed, attended Pueblo
Central High
and the University Colorado at Boulder. Just as the
U.S. entered
WWII, he was
an engineering student enrolled in civilian pilot training,
and began his war work at the
Navy Bureau of Aeronautics in
Washington, D.C.
After marrying Phyllis Selma
Zimmerly, he transferred to the
Naval Air Missile Test Center (NAMTC) at Point Mugu,
California, where at age 26, he
became senior civilian engineer.
By the time he built a house in
the Ojai Valley, the NAMTC had
moved from nothing to the most
advanced testing laboratory on
the West Coast. Byron moved his
family several times, from Whittier to Encino to San Bernardino,
as his work for the aerospace industry took him from Rocketdyne
to Hughes Aircraft and air-to-air
Falcon missiles, to the Minuteman Missile Program at Space
Technology Labs, soon renamed
TRW. When TRW branched out
in to non-weapon systems, Systems Analyst Byron moved his
family to New England, working
with TRW’s Medical Regional
Program and the University of
Vermont.
He freelanced, wrote a book
on planning, and developed a
methane gas digester and a hydroponic garden.
After his wife’s death, he spent
two years attending seminary and
then moved to California to work
for Stanford University. One of
his final assignments at Stanford
was to be the guy who had to
condemn buildings after the 1989
Loma Prieta Earthquake.
He lived on a boat for several
years before his retirement in
Seal Beach, where he continued
to play a mean game of tennis,
three times a week, right up until
his 93rd birthday.
He is survived by his children,
Barry (Barbara) McDonald of
Vergennes, Vermont; Georgianna
(Louis) Boardman of Sharon,
Vermont; Jeffrey (Susan) McDonald of Charlotte, Vermont;
Matthew McDonald of Seal
Beach, California; and James
McDonald of Rutland, Vermont;
granddaughters, Christen (Roland) Bernier, Eustacia (Kevin)
Carleton, and Nina McDonald;
grandsons, Jesse (Lisa) Boardman, Tyler McDonald, and Ethan
McDonald; great-grandchildren,
Raena, Adrianna, Shannon,
Christina, Hailey, Megan, Kiely,
Jackson and Charlene Rose;
great-great grandchildren, Joel
and Kayden; and brother, William
(Patricia) McDonald. He is also
survived by many other nieces,
nephews and cousins.
Byron was preceded in death
by his parents; wife; brothers,
James, John and Richard; and
great-grandson Stephen.
Funeral services will be held at
11 a.m. on Friday, April 1, at the
All Souls Mortuary, 4400 Cherry
Ave., Long Beach, California,
90807.
Burial ceremony will follow
at the All Souls cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to the
Orange County Rescue Mission,
www.rescuemission.org.
The family would like to thank
the Seal Beach Fire Department,
the 24-hour nursing team at the
Leisure World Health Care Center, the tireless team at Companion Hospice, caregiver J.C. Castro
and the dedicated staff of the
Mae Morgan Agency, and neighbors Tanny deSmit, Marcia and
George Moriarty, Sandy Young,
Debbie and Manny Cienega, and
Eve Dinsmore, for their excellent
care and friendship.

Siemens, Charles Glenn
1929-2016
Charles Glenn Siemens, 86,
a longtime active resident of
Seal Beach, California, died
Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016, of natural
causes. Chuck was born in Hillsboro, Kansas,
to Henry and
Bertha Siemens on July
3, 1929, the
youngest of
four children.
His older
brothers, Ollie
and Howard,
and his sister
Betty, as well
as his parents, are now joined
by this wonderful man, loving
husband, committed father, tireless teacher and newly revived
follower of Jesus.
Chuck attended Roosevelt
Middle School in Long Beach,
where he met some of his lifetime
friends, then on to Jordan and
Poly High School; worked “42”
different kinds of jobs; served his
country at the Los Alamitos Naval
Air Station during the Korean War
as a Naval Air Corp Reservist; and
earned his teaching credential at
Long Beach State University. He
later achieved his master’s degree
from Whittier College enabling
him to move into administration
as a vice principal and principal
in the Seal Beach School District.
He enjoyed many good years
raising three vivacious kids with
his first wife, Jeanne Blossom.
His devotion to family and
teaching led him into coaching
chess, basketball, football, Little
League as well as serving in the
position of founding president
of the Westminster High School
Football Boosters Club.
During summer breaks, Chuck
worked many years as a Long
Beach lifeguard. He taught his
children and students a love and
appreciation for all things marine.
His children were gifted with
lasting memories of times spent
at “Dad’s Beach,” where they
learned to surf, paddle board,
skim board, bodysurf, fish, collect
shells, people-watch, build sand
castles, play cards up in the station tower, and go on all manner
of adventures around the ocean.
His love for camping, sailing,
journaling, writing children’s
stories, dossiers, short stories,
poetry, song lyrics and bee keeping translated into the lives of the
entire family.
After retiring from education
in 1985, he tackled various entrepreneurial ventures and fulfilled
his dream of living aboard a
sailboat.
On July 23, 1992, he married
the love and soul mate of his life,
Sandy Lines.
Together they shared many
excursions sailing along the
California Coast, Hawaii and the
Puget Sound, as well as traveling
worldwide. Their years were
richly spent investing in their
children’s blossoming families,
as well as enjoying time with
Chuck’s brothers, sister and extended family.
Father Time was kind.
Chuck’s health was sustained
right to the end. Even during the
inevitable frustrations, limita-
25
tions and diminishments of age,
he was able to continue his family
devotion, love of life, and good
sense of humor, often saying to
whoever would listen—“The
Golden Years ain’t for sissies!”
Gratitude was always on his
mind—As Sandy said, “We lived
life enjoying every minute with
each other.”
Chuck is already missed and
will always be remembered by
family, friends and all who loved
him.
A common response to his
passing has been and will continue to be, “We know you are
in a better place having the time
of your life— thanks for the
memories!”
No regrets... Can’t wait to see
you again... Love you always ...
Chuck is survived by his
wife, Sandy; three children, Jeff,
Lonnie and Mitch; their spouses,
Laura, Rob and Su; and stepdaughter Cindy. Also, his seven
grandchildren, Bethany, Jordan,
Garrison, Sean, Shannon, Logan
and Jennifer, and great granddaughter Trinity.
A memorial service officiated
by his nephew Roy Siemens, will
be held on Saturday, March 12, at
2:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 2.
His ashes will be scattered in
the ocean at Seal Beach.
