Celebrate the Fourth with Roy Orbison Tribute, cart parade and classic car show
The GRF Recreation Department will host the annual Independence Day celebration with a classic car show, the Rollin’ Thunder Golf Cart Parade (see page 16 for map), a craft club show and the Black & White Knights Roy Orbison tribute on Monday, July 4, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in Clubhouse 6 and the parking lot.
Parking will be limited at Clubhouse 6, so people are encouraged to park at Cluhouse 4.
Minibuses will run a shuttle at 15-minute intervals between Clubhouses 6 and 4, where there is plenty of parking. Minibuses will operate from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. for this event, so take advantage of the free park-and-ride service.
Singer Mark Barnett will perform the best-loved and challenging songs of the legendary Roy Orbison, plus the most popular music of the 50s and 60s with his band, The Black & White Knights. Barnett started out on his musical journey at the age of 13 singing in his father’s band, The Johnny Barnett Show. In 1991, he struck out on his own with his Roy Orbison tribute show. Over the years, he and his group have performed at venues such as the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano and the Elks Opera House in Prescott Arizona, to name a few.
Barnett has an authentic Orbison style and vocal range that capures the singer with such classic hits as “Crying,” “Oh, Pretty Woman,” Running Scared” and more. The master musicians who make up The Black & White Knights bring all the ingredients of an actual Roy Orbison concert.
Activities will start at 10 a.m. in the Clubhouse 6 parking lot, with more to see inside, and will continue until 2 p.m. Residents, their families and friends are all welcome. Koffel’s Taco and Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que trucks will be available for refreshments.

Amphitheater Stage
Sponsors: On-Site Home Sales and Home Instead Senior Care
Vegas Country is an entertaining tribute to Shania Twain and Tim McGraw. This high-energy show includes the beautiful and talented Donna Huber as Shania Twain, as well as handsome and entertaining Adam Tucker as Tim McGraw. Tucker and Huber first appeared together as separate acts in the spectacular Las Vegas Show, “American Country Superstars.”
Huber is a renowned Shania Twain tribute artist from Ontario, Canada. Even Shania Twain herself said Huber is the best Shania Twain tribute artist in the business. Huber performs such classics as “Man, I Feel Like a Woman,” “From This Moment On,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “The Woman In Me” and “I Ain’t No Quitter.”
Tucker accurately recreates the music and mystique of country music icon Tim McGraw with 1990s mega-hits such as “Don’t Take the Girl,” “I Like It, I Love It,” “Everywhere” and many of Tim’s radio hits of today.
Tucker received the award for New Artist Radio Network Independent Country Music Artist of the Year in 2006 and has recorded his own music in Nashville.
He and his talented crew have opened up for 42 national acts throughout the United States, including Taylor Swift, Trace Adkins, Jason Aldean, Charlie Daniels, Blake Shelton, Josh Turner, Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Tracy Lawrence.
Fourth Fireworks Spectacular will be at the JFTB
Spectacular fireworks, patriotic music and an abundance of traditional family fun will be the order of the day on July 4, when the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB) hosts the 35th Annual Fireworks Spectacular celebrating the 246th birthday of the United States.
Sponsored by the cities of Los Alamitos and Seal Beach, the free event will feature military displays, a family fun zone, food vendors, and performances by the Cal Guard’s 40th Infantry Division Band and local favorite Country Nation Band.
“On behalf of Maj. Gen. David Baldwin, adjutant general of the California Military Department, our community partners and the citizen soldiers who work and train at JFTB, we look forward to welcoming our friends and neighbors to our installation to celebrate this special holiday,” said JFTB Garrison Cmdr. Lt. Col. Manju Vig. “We are privileged to enjoy exceptional support from the communities we serve, and Independence Day is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge and thank all those who honor us throughout the year with their outreach and friendship.”
Gates will open to the public at 4 p.m. with the fireworks show scheduled for 9 p.m.
Adults must show photo identification to enter the base and children must be accompanied by their parents or guardian.
North Gate Road Update
North Gate Road is scheduled to close as early as Tuesday, July 5, for approximately three months to allow crews to install a new 18-inch sewer line underneath I-405.
The sewer line will connect to an existing line under Old Ranch Parkway, across the freeway. The work is part of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) I-405 project to widen the freeway.
During construction, North Gate Road will be closed to all vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. People will be detoured to Golden Rain Road to enter and exit Leisure World.
Access to the Seal Beach Rehabilitation Center and other businesses along North Gate Road will be maintained throughout the closure.
In other construction news, work crews are nearly finished pile driving along North Gate.
That work will support a new sound wall.
The wall will range in height from 10 feet at the very east end to nearly 20 feet at the west end, according to OCTA.
The majority of the wall will be in the range of 16-18 feet high.
Since the freeway elevation is higher than the North Gate Road elevation, the wall height from the freeway side ranges from 10 feet to approximately 14 feet, with most of the wall being 14 feet high.
For more information, sign up to receive alerts by visiting bit.ly/405-signup.

This program issues monthly benefits on an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card (i.e., debit card). Food may be purchased at any grocery store or farmers market that accepts EBT cards. The amount of benefits depends on household size and income.
The new income guideline for 2022 is: One-person household can have a maximum gross monthly income of $2,148; a two-person household can have a maximum gross monthly income of $2,904. Signing up for CalFresh is easy. If you have a computer, go to www.getcalfresh.org and click on “Apply for California Food Stamps Online.” There will be a pink screen with a green “Apply Now” button. Click it and follow the simple directions.

Level 2 water restrictions are in effect
The State of California has declared a Level 2 water supply shortage in answer to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent proclamation of a Drought Emergency. All 58 California counties are now experiencing severe drought conditions.
As drought conditions worsen, it is more important than ever to make sure that every drop of water counts, according to an educational outreach started last week by the City of Seal Beach.
The City of Seal Beach has amended its Water Shortage Contingency Plan to align it with California’s six standard levels of water shortage responses. According to a staff report prepared by Iris Lee, acting director of Public Works, a Level 2 water shortage would have the city notify its water customers that water use needs to be cut by 11-20%.
Level 2 restricts irrigation on non-residential turf areas; however, there are also exemptions for sports fields, grassy areas where people gather, and for watering to keep trees healthy. It should be noted that common areas that are not specifically maintained by individual residents are generally considered non-residential.
Level 2 Water Restrictions Now in Effect
To meet the requirements of the Governor’s Executive Order, Seal Beach has limited watering schedules to Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, effective immediately.
The following water use restrictions shall apply at all times:
• The watering of lawns, landscaping and all other vegetated areas is prohibited between 6 a.m.-6 p.m. and is limited to no more than 15 minutes per station per day. Drip irrigation and hand watering are exempt.
• Do not water lawns and landscaping while it’s raining or for 48 hours after measurable rainfall.
• Do not allow excessive water flow or runoff onto your sidewalk, driveway, street, alley or gutter when watering lawns, landscaping and vegetated areas.
• Plumbing system leaks must be immediately fixed.
• Do not hose or wash down hard or paved surfaces such as sidewalks, gutters, driveways, patios, pool decks, parking areas, tennis courts and alleys, except to alleviate immediate fire or sanitation hazards.
• Wash vehicles with a bucket and/or hose with a positive shut off hose nozzle. This includes cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, boats, or trailers. The LW car wash at Clubhouse 2 uses recycled water and commercial car washes are exempt from this regulation.
• Filling or refilling swimming pools, spas and ponds are only to be performed on designated watering days.
• All decorative fountains and water features should be turned off.
• Restaurants can serve water only upon request.
• Agrgicultural users and commercial nurseries must curtail all non-essential water use.
• Commercial, industrial and institutional properties are prohibited from irrigating non-functional turf, such as decorative grass, except as it may be required to ensure the health of trees and other perennial non-turf planting.
January through March typically is when most of California’s annual rain and snow falls, but this year, those months were the driest in at least a century. Despite calls for conservation, the state’s water use went up dramatically in March—19% compared to the same month in 2020.
California is in its third year of drought and virtually all areas of the state are classified as either in severe or extreme drought. Due to low water levels in state reservoirs, the state is releasing only a limited amount of water from its supplies.
Last summer, Californians were called on to voluntarily reduce their water use by 15% by doing things like taking five-minute showers and avoiding baths, only running the washing machine and dishwasher with full loads and limiting water use for cleaning outdoor areas. Water used for farming isn’t counted.
Leisure World is served by the Seal Beach through three master meters. The city maintains the water distribution facilities and the fire hydrants within Leisure World.
During the last drought in 2015, former Gov. Jerry Brown issued a mandatory 25% cut in the state’s overall water use, and the state water board set requirements for how much each water district had to cut based on their existing use; districts with higher water use were asked to cut more. Water agencies could be fined up to $10,000 per day if they didn’t comply.

Letters to the Editor
Editor:
I recently received a response about my expressed concerns about guns from Congresswoman Michelle Steel. She agreed that we have a tragic situation. She noted that (the law already requires) background checks to be conducted before dealers sell firearms in this country. She failed to note that across the country, there are many places where anyone over 18 can buy weapons of war and that the proliferation of guns is a national problem with a hodge-podge of rules that guarantee the safety of no one.
I appreciate her expressed wish to have a bipartisan solution, but her party consistently votes against any real reforms. The recent laws passed are an improvement but don’t go nearly far enough.
There is an old adage that if you aren’t working on a solution, you may be part of the problem. The GOP members of congress and the Supreme Court have all prioritized the interests of the NRA instead of the people of this country. This must change if our democracy is going to survive.

Editor:
On my walks through LW, I’ve noticed there are a number of places where water repeatedly bubbles up between the asphalt street surface and the concrete gutter.
The water then flows into the gutter and collects, and then eventually evaporates. Because it only happens periodically, one is left to speculate that what is leaking is an underground irrigation line. It never seems to be a great deal of water, but it shows up week after week. Our infrastructure is now 60 years old, so this is to be expected.
Mutual 1 is digging up and repairing these leaks ahead of the GRF street repaving project that is slated for later this year. It must be costly. But by doing the work now, Mutual 1 will have nice new streets that don’t have leaky spots. Being a resident of Mutual 12, I can only tip my hat to whoever was paying attention. It’s got to be one of the board members, because us normal people can’t make this kind of thing happen. Congratulations to the lucky residents of Mutual 1.

Celebrating Centenarians—Happy 100th to Bette Sargent
This is one story in an occasional series profiling some of LW’s most long-lived residents, those who have reached the enviable age of 100 years or more. The series is running in connection with the Golden Age Foundation centenarian event held April 20. In most cases, a family member or friend has written the stories.
by Lisa McGarvey
special to the LW Weekly
This month, LWer Bette Sargent celebrated 100 years of life. She credits an inquiring mind as one reason for her longevity. “Curiosity. I’m always wondering what’s going to happen next.”
Born Bette Palmateer, she grew up in Arizona, the first of three daughters. Both of her grandparents owned farms that she visited often. Bette remembers receiving 10 cents for every hidden turkey nest she could find on the property. She attended Litchfield Park schools and was salutatorian of her high school class. After high school, Bette married her first husband, James, and moved to San Diego while he served in the Navy. Unfortunately, James was killed during World War II, so Bette returned to Arizona—a young widow with a 10-month-old son.
Eighteen months later, Bette’s mother-in-law convinced her to go to a dance on a blind date. She loved to dance so she agreed, and six weeks later she married her blind date, Buzz. Who would have imagined that their marriage would last for 72 years? The new family moved to California and settled in Whittier. Buzz went to work at Goodyear Tire and Rubber.
Bette stayed home for 13 years and later went to work for Alpha Beta Grocery. Bette and Buzz welcomed two more children; a girl and another boy. All three children were schooled in Whitter, and all were good kids. One child went to Long Beach State University, one went to San Diego State University and one went to beauty school.
Once the kids were older and on their own, Bette and Buzz were ready for fun. They built their retirement home in Canyon Lake and purchased a motorhome, a boat and a golf cart—all “big boy toys.” They toured the United States in their motorhome a few times, the longest single trip lasting three-and-a-half months.
When they returned home after one of the trips, they found that nine close friends and family members had passed. Buzz decreed, “We’re moving back to town. Leisure World, here we come.” Bette reluctantly followed, but was not enthusiastic to live with “those old folks,” but she quickly changed her mind. Within three weeks of moving to Leisure World, Bette and Buzz were bowling, playing pool, playing golf, dancing in a dance group and actively participating in a travel club. Bette has been a “happy camper” ever since. She has lived in Leisure World for 34 years.
As Bette approaches the next century, she remains optimistic and in good spirits.
Positivity has served her well these past 100 years. “I’ve had a wonderful life. I have a nice home. I have enough money. What else can I ask for?”

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Meetings for the Atherton Ward are held at 6500 E. Atherton St., Long Beach. Sacrament service is held every Sunday at 9 a.m. This is followed in the second hour by Sunday School on the first and third Sundays; Relief Society and Elders Quorum meetings are on the second and fourth Sundays. Primary classes for children are held every Sunday during the second hour.
Members who are unable to attend Sacrament services in person can request a link from Bishop Mike Gravley at (562) 212-8681.
The course of study is the Old Testament; personal reading should be those chapters in 2 Kings not covered in the study. The reading for the week of July 4-10 covers 2 Kings chapters 2-7. In these scriptures, the reader is introduced to the prophet Elisha. Throughout his ministry, there are powerful manifestations of God’s life-giving, nourishing and healing power.
When believers read the Scriptures, they are encouraged to take notice of certain phrases or passages and consider writing down why those passages are meaningful. As the “Come, Follow Me” handbook states, “Some times we do not recognize these heavenly manifestations. To see them we need to seek the miracle Elisha sought when he prayed on behalf of his fearful young servant, ‘Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see’ (2 Kings 6:17). That can easily be personalized: ‘ Lord, I pray thee, open my eyes, that I may see.’”
Community Church
Community Church’s worship service on July 3 at 9:50 a.m. will focus on praising God, and celebrate Independence Day at 3 p.m. with a patriotic concert.

The quartet is made up of tenor Josh Munnell, lead vocalist David Albulario, baritone Robert Rice and bass Chris Wade. The concert will include special guests Jennifer Scoullar and pianist Hannah Yi. Albulario, Wade, Scoullar and Yi are also part of Community Church’s regular Sunday worship team.
All LWers are invited to experience a powerful message titled “The Freedom to Serve” and attend the concert in the afternoon.
Community Church is often called “the friendly church” and welcomes people of all backgrounds. It invites new people to come early for a cup of coffee before worship to get a feel for the community and stay for award-winning music and a powerful message.
Due to COVID cases rising, people who want to attend the in-person worship service must provide proof of vaccination and wear masks.
Entrances to the church may be found both at the front of the church and the pedestrian gate between the church and the shops.
Those who are in need without another way to address it can call (562) 431-2503.
First Christian Church
First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, most often verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors. People are welcome to worship and explore God’s word together “that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine” (Romans 1:12).
Message From the Pastor
In 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7, the apostle Paul wrote, “And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.”
The mystery of lawlessness was at work in Paul’s life and it continues today to be a hinderance to society, but as this verse states it is restrained. It may not seem like it, but something has kept the spirit of lawlessness and evil restrained so it’s full ugliness has not yet been manifested. The question people must ask is what is restraining it? What is keeping evil in check?
The only entity that has the power to contain the workings of the spirit of sin and lawlessness is the Holy Spirit of God. When this power is “taken out of the way” then and only then will the full manifestation of evil and lawlessness be evidenced. The Bible identifies it as a time of tribulation. When will it take place? That’s all in God’s timing. People are instructed to just be ready.

In this reading of “Korach,” HaShem speaks directly to Aaron, cautioning them to uphold the sanctity of the sanctuary and its contents. Aaron, his sons and the Levite tribe are given the burden of responsibility for maintaining the holiness of the Mishkan; this follows the failed rebellion led by Korach, Moses and Aaron’s first cousin, who conspired with the tribe of Reuben to rise up against HaShem’s chosen leaders. HaShem institutes for all time the Levites’ tithes and assures them that they are safe from guilt if they follow the instructions of the Torah.
All Beit HaLev services use special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.” Printed versions of the prayerbooks will be available for sale at in-person services.

Contributions to Beit HaLev are welcome and can be sent to Beit HaLev, P.O. Box 2279, Seal Beach, CA 90740.
Faith Christian Assembly
Join Faith Christian Assembly on Sunday, July 3, as it commemorates the Fourth of July holiday during the 5:30 p.m. service. This service will feature patriotic songs and American-themed content.
Faith Christian Assembly believes it’s worthwhile to review some points of interest from the signing of the document that took place almost 250 years ago as a reminder why Americans celebrate the holiday. Below is a exerpt of an article from www.AmericanMinute.com by William J. Federer:
“When 54-year-old Samuel Adams signed the Declaration, he said: ‘We have this day restored The Sovereign to whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come.
“The Declaration referred to God: ‘Laws a Nature and Nature’s God…’ and ‘All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights…’ also ‘Appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions…’ and “And for the support of this Declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor…’
“41-year-old John Adams wrote to his wife of the Declaration ‘I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance by solem acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more.”

Assembly of God
Service/Gathering Times: Assembly of God meets Sundays at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The Wednesday morning Bible study is on recess until July 6. The Hymn Sing is held on the fourth Sunday of the month at 6 p.m. in the Clubhouse 2 Lobby.
Sermon for this week: Cries for justice are heard everywhere, from the street corner to the nation’s capital. When one has been offended, the hurt is often carried long after the offender is gone. A lot of time has been spent plotting revenge or payback that never takes place. When people feel that a wrongdoer goes unpunished, they are frustrated and angry. The prophet Nahum presents part of God’s character often forgotten. People talk about God’s love, mercy and grace, but forget about his justice. Not to be confused with being fair, God’s justice is righteous, always on the side of truth, never tainted by preference or bias. Pastor Chuck Franco will present his message from Nahum 1:2-3 titled “A God of Justice,” this Sunday, July 3. Be assured that God is supremely concerned with justice, and he is capable to bring it about in ways unimaginable.
Bible Study: “Wild Places,” by George DeJong, is a video series filmed in the Holy Land. The locations help illuminate the teaching of navigating the wild, rough places in life. Pastor Chuck will lead the guided discussion questions on July 6 in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, at 10 a.m.
Contact: More information can be found at www.lwassemblyofgod.com.
Those who would like prayer, personal contact from a pastor, or a DVD of the Sunday morning sermon can contact pastors Chuck and Sheryl Franco by calling (562) 357-4360 or emailing pastorchuck@lwassemblyofgod.com. Carolyn van Aalst is also available to receive prayer requests at (562) 343-8424.

Celebrate the Fourth in Seal Beach and Lesuire World
FALW’s Veterans Picnic will be held on July 2 at CH 1 picnic area
Young American men and women volunteered to serve their beloved country despite the fear to uphold what was close to their hearts. These young people gave all without reservation to preserve what they hold dear: freedom.
In gratitude to all veterans residing in Leisure World, the Filipino Association of Leisure World (FALW) will hold its annual Veterans Picnic on Saturday, July 2, at the Clubhouse 1 picnic grounds at 11:30 a.m.
This event is a tradition by FALW to recognize the selfless sacrifices of the men and women who dedicated their lives to preserve American freedom. The beneficiaries of these unselfish deeds can never repay these service members but hold them up on the highest pedestal.
FALW will serve hot dogs, hamburgers, Filipino noodles, egg rolls, home-cooked chili beans, green salad, fruit, cakes for the July birthdays of club members, soda and water. People can bring their own alcohol.
There will be a short program before lunch presented by some members of FALW and a performance by the Hui O Hula club. People will sing the individual military branch’s hymns. Father Juan Caboboy, FALW’s spiritual adviser, will do the invocation. FALW President Eilleen Merritt will give a short address, and “Taps” will be played.
Gifts will be presented to the veterans who registered for the event. Due to the club’s financial strain, only the first 75 callers will be given a gift.
To RSVP, call and state your name, branch of service and number of guests to Eilleen Merritt at (562) 486-1252; Essie Hicks at (714) 488-6149; Jane Haas at (714) 423-9689; Harry Varnas at (323) 791-1141; Ed Bolos at (551) 998-4223; Ric Dizon at (714) 225-3597; or Ren Villanueva at (323) 854-6209.
Rollin’ Thunder Golf Cart Parade salutes the Fourth
Plans are wrapping up for the annual Independence Day Golf Cart Parade, which will be held on July 4.
Beginning at Clubhouse 4 and ending at Clubhouse 6, the one-hour parade will follow a route that will include most of Leisure World’s main thoroughfares and neighborhoods.
The parade will head south from Clubhouse 4 down St. Andrews Drive and turn left on Interlachen Road. The group will then make a right turn at Del Monte Drive, and circle around the flagpole off Sunningdale Road.
The group will then travel north up Del Monte Drive, through Northwood Road and El Dorado Drive, to make a right turn onto Canoe Brook Drive.
The parade will travel east on Golden Rain Road, and head to its final destination at Clubhouse 6 by turning left on El Dorado Road, making a right turn on Oakmont Road and turning left onto St. Andrews Drive to finish at Clubhouse 6.
Final cart decorating will be at 9:30 a.m., with the parade starting at 10.
To avoid breakdowns along the route, cart batteries should be fully charged, and cart fuel tanks filled to the brim.
Members of the Rollin’ Thunder Golf Cart Club will set up and lead the parade, with the assistance of Security staff and the LW Radio Club members.
All golf cart owners can participate. Membership in the Rollin’ Thunder is never required for community-wide events.

Sunshine Club
Learn about hearing loss on June 30
Audiologist Lori Hallett will speak at the Sunshine Club’s meeting on July 1 in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, at 10 a.m.
Hallett is an audiologist and hearing aid dispenser practicing in Los Alamitos. She has a master’s degree in audiology and has been working in the field for 24 years.
As a child, Hallett had neighbors who had five children. The parents were deaf, and all the children had their hearing. Hallett was intrigued with their ability to communicate using American Sign Language and this was the seed that was placed in Hallett to inspire her journey to learn more about hearing loss and the impact it has on people’s ability to communicate.
Hearing Services West is the name of the hearing clinic that Hallett has owned for 10 years. Her clinic performs hearing evaluations for toddlers through adults. Hallett prides herself on educating people on their hearing loss and helping them decide if it’s time to consider hearing aids. Anybody who is 60 or older should have a hearing screening or complete audiological evaluation. People’s ears naturally begin to have a bit of hearing loss in their early 60s; so having a baseline result is a good idea. Her office also helps people who have ringing in the ears and balance concerns, among other problems.
Residents who may notice difficulties hearing in noisy environments, who already wear hearing aids but don’t feel the aids are helping as much as expected or who need existing hearing aids cleaned are invited to join this informative meeting with the Sunshine Club.
Membership is not required to attend the meeting; light refreshments will be served. For more information, text Anna Derby at (562) 301-5339.
The Sunshine Club hosts classes to help with everyday living in Leisure World every Friday in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, from 10 a.m.-noon.
LW Anniversary
Mike and Sandy Carlson celebrated their 60th anniversary on June 29.
As teenagers, their families moved next door to each other, and they were married two weeks after Sandy graduated from high school. God blessed the couple with two sons, Steve and Jeff, and one daughter, Lynette. They have four grandsons: Michael, Ryan, Noah and Haden; one beautiful granddaughter, Whitney, and their new pride and joy, Dominic, their 1 year-old great-grandson.
Mike and Sandy lived in Cypress for 54 years until moving into Leisure World four years ago. They love their home here and the many new friends they have met.
The couple recently became members of First Christian Church in Leisure World and look forward to serving the Lord there.
Mike and Sandy praise the Lord for their 60 years together and if it is his will, they plan on celebrating many more years together.

• All residents are asked to drop off their documents and leave once the truck arrives. There will not be seating or lines allowed at the event.

For more information about the shredding service or the GAF, go to www.GoldenAgeFdn.org or text Anna Derby at (562) 301-5339.

Humanist Association
Bill Zuersher will present on July 3
The Leisure World Humanist Association will meet on Sunday, July 3, at 10:30 a.m., in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Author and religious scholar Bill Zuersher will be the guest speaker at the meeting.
Zuersher spoke to the Leisure World Humanists in November 2019 on the Transcendental Argument for God (TAG). The presentation is available on YouTube.
The title for Zuersher’s presentation is “Are the Laws of Logic Proof of God?” He will discuss whether everyday use of logic prove that God exists. A popular theistic argument for the existence of God is that atheists cannot provide a coherent account of logic. What is logic? And how do we know it? Join The Humanist Association for a fun presentation and discussion comparing some theistic and non-theistic perspectives on logic.
Zuersher is an activist for the separation of church and state and the author of “Seeing through Christianity: a Critique of Beliefs and Evidence.” His interest in religion derives from a concern about the role of faith-based beliefs in American politics. Rather
than engage in public policy debate about multiple disparate issues, he decided to focus on the root cause of all of them, namely religion and Christianity in particular.
Zuersher’s book “Seeing Through Christianity” is a critique of Christian doctrines and evidential claims. The author goes on a tour of the religion’s roots, philosophy and history. He encounters each component of belief in logical order, beginning with the universal religious problems of suffering and death, and culminating in the cosmic drama by which Christianity claims to resolve them. He argues that Christian dependence upon faith results in beliefs that are arbitrary.
Humanism attempts to address society’s important problems, in order to build a better world. Residents do not have to be Humanists to attend the meetings.
Korean American Classical Music Appreciation Class will meet on Thursday, July 21, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 2.

Democratic Club
by Mary Larson
LW contributor
Leisure World Democratic Club leaders continue to review the Primary Election statistics made available by the Orange County Registrar of Voters. In the process, it is becoming increasingly clear that what the 7,068 registered voters in LW do in November can make a difference in a number of important races.
This is especially true in down ballot races. Judie Mancuso, a Democratic Party endorsed candidate for the California Assembly, placed first in the Primary with 58,989 votes. However, there are 256,514 eligible voters in this Assembly district.
How many Leisure World registered voters actually vote in the November General Election—and whom they vote for—can make the difference as to who represents LWers interests in Sacramento beginning in 2023.
The club anticipates hearing directly from Mancuso and its endorsed candidate for State Senate, Kim Carr, during the September or October membership meeting.
The LW Democratic Club once again congratulates Leisure World residents. The percent of eligible voters in the community who voted in the Primary far exceeded that of voters in the rest of the county. It ranged from 60.46% to 64.91%, depending upon the precinct. This is a significant number. The club expect the percentage of LW residents who will vote in November to be even higher.
For more in-depth reporting about plans for the upcoming General Election, as well as information about other issues, LW Democrats and no preferred party supporters can subscribe to the club’s newsletter. This electronic newsletter is published twice a month for free. Email democraticclubsblw@gmail.com or call the editor Mary Larson at (562) 296-8521. People are asked to include their full name, address and phone number, as well as party affiliation.

James Pushman
1936-2022
It is with profound sadness that James Pushman, beloved husband of Kathryn Pushman, lost his long battle with Alzheimer’s disease on June 5. He was born on on Dec. 19, 1936, to Margaret and Fred Pushman in Detroit, Michigan. He was always a hard worker, and started earning money when he was 11 years old as a paperboy. His father gave him a printing press when he was in junior high, and he started a thriving business in his basement, printing programs, tickets, business cards, graduation and wedding invitations. He was the president of the Walther League at church, where he started dating Kay at the age of 16. He graduated from Concordia College in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with an associate’s degree in 1957. He held down three jobs while in college. He was a devout Lutheran his whole life and was always active and on the council of the churches where he was a member.
Jim and Kay married on June 29, 1957 at Mt. Hope Lutheran Church and would have been married 65 years this anniversary. He went to work for his father’s company, Turner of Detroit, which sold printing equipment. He was always the top salesman and won many awards and prizes from the vendors. He was president of the Craftsman Club, an organization of printers and their vendors.
In 1980, Jim decided to move to Los Angeles, which had always been his dream when he watched the fans in their short-sleeved shirts at the Rose Bowl game as he was freezing in Michigan. He purchased Royal American Products Corporation in L.A. and diversified the company to include equipment that was used by schools and churches. He increased that company to include a branch in Orange County and San Diego County.
He talked Kay into joining the Boots and Slippers Square Dance Club, where he served as club president for three years. It was a wonderful time in his life, and included camping in RVs with members of this club.
Although diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, he was able to dance for quite a while. The club’s caller once remarked to his wife that he was still a better dancer than some. One of the most exciting times in his square dance life was being chosen to dance in a national TV commercial for Wells Fargo Bank. A small segment is included in the video of Jim’s life.
Jim was a very intelligent, well-read man who held leadership roles in many organizations over his life time. He was an avid traveler and camped all over the country with his children and grandchildren.
Always a bargain hunter, he was able to see the world on cruise ships after his children were grown, traveling with friends and family. Jim was a devoted father and grandfather.
He is survived by his four loving children and their spouses: Sherry Moss and husband, Perry; James Pushman and wife, Debra; and Lori Perea and husband, Michael; Lisa Lindsay and husband, Michael. He was Gramps to seven grandchildren: Zachary Moss, Ariel Perea, Blake Moss, Elisha Perea, Camille Lindsay, Mason Lindsay and Camden Lindsay. He is also survived by two great-granddaughters, Abigail and Alexzandra, who unfortunately did not know their fun grandpa. He is also survived by step-grandson, Jeremy, step-granddaughters Tina and Alexis, and step-great-grandchildren Sofia and Luca.
Jim was the eldest in a family of nine children and is survived by six of his loving brothers and sisters: Suzanne Roach, Janice Piwok, Brian Pushman, Lynore Brekke, Nancy Brain and Kris Pushman, plus many nieces and nephews.
Jim was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s over 20 years ago, so these years have been very difficult, but the cherished memories of this wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend live on. It has been a very long goodbye, and he is so missed by all who knew him.
A memorial will be held on July 18 at 11:30 a.m. at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Leisure World. A reception will follow in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. Memorials may be made to Redeemer Lutheran Church or the Alzheimer’s Foundation.

June 17 and 20 Golf League Results
On June 17, 15 golfers from the Leisure World Golf League challenged the 6,000-yard, par 71 Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana. It was an overcast and cool morning but without the dampness and mist that has plagued league play for months. Mid-round, the sun appeared, and it became a beautiful morning to play.
Willowick is a long course, and uniquely has no water hazards, but with many cleverly placed sand traps and small tricky greens, the course challenges everyone. This week, only six of the 14 scores were at or under par and the course yielded six birdies.
All scores are net (gross minus handicap). A Flight handicaps are 0-19, while B Flight handicaps are 20 and over.
A Flight: First place: Dave LaCascia, a terrific 5 under 66, plus a birdie and fewest putts; second: Bill McKusky, a well-played 3 under 68, plus a birdie; third: tie between Clay Fischer and Jim Goltra, and good 2 under 69; fourth: Sam Choi, a nice 1 under 70, plus a birdie; fifth: tie between Larry Hillhouse, with a birdie and closest to the pin on the par 3 twelfth hole, Tim Looney, with two birdies, Gary Stivers and Mark Mallet.
B Flight: First place: Gene Vesely, a well-played 8 under 63, plus fewest putts; second: Lowell Goltra; third: William Hillhouse; fourth: tie between Fujio Norihiro and Bob Munn; fifth: Digna Vesely.
June 20 saw 14 golfers from the Leisure World Golf League play at the 5,800-yard par 70 Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana. The weather was delightful with sunny and warm conditions. As the morning progressed, the temps got hotter until they were in the mid 80s by rounds end. The course has been well maintained, and the greens are in excellent condition.
The Santa Ana River runs through the middle of the course, which has numerous water hazards, large sand traps, narrow fairways and significant elevation changes from fairways to greens. This makes it a challenge to everyone. With the great conditions, it was not unexpected that the course conceded 10 of the 14 rounds at or under par, and six birdies.
A Flight: First place: tie between Glenn Barry and Bill McKusky, a nice 4 under 66; second: Gary Stivers, a hard-fought 2 under 68; third: Chris Lankford, a sweet 1 under 69; fourth: Dave LaCascia, at even par 70; fifth: tie between Sam Choi and Clay Fischer. Closest to the pin on the par 3 second hole was Lankford. Barry had three birdies, Lankford had two, and Fischer had one. Choi had fewest putts.
B Flight: First place: Bob Munn, a really good 5 over 65; second: Fujio Norihiro, a well-played 4 under 66; third: Ron Jackson, a sweet 3 under 67; fourth: Gene Vesely, a fine 2 under 68, plus fewest putts; fifth: three-way tie between Bill Zurn, Lowell Goltra and Digna Vesely. Zurn was closest to the pin on 100-yard par 3 ninth hole.
The Monday and Friday Golf Leagues play at four local courses, all within 15–20 minutes of Leisure World. The courses the group plays are often full, so advance reservations are available via a sign-up sheet at each round.
There is a prize pool for each round that players are not obligated to enter. Rewards are given for low net and fewest putts in each flight, birdies and closest to the pin on two par-3 holes. Holes-in-one and eagles (2 under par), although infrequent, are generously rewarded.
Those who are interested in joining the league can contact Gary Stivers at (714) 313-3697 or Dave LaCascia at (801) 674-5975.

Bocce Ball
The weather was perfect for the Bocce Ball spring season semi-finals and finals matches. On June 25, the top four teams competed for the final two slots of the day. The first place winners, for the second season in a row, were Sunday’s team No. 4, Terry Thrift and Vicki Mingus. The second place honors went to Tuesday’s team No. 9, Sal La Scala and Susan Dodson.
Over 70 people attended to cheer on the players and to enjoy the pizza party following the games. Participation drawings and opportunity drawings, along with a new fun game called Shot in the Dark, helped to make the event a huge success. The club thanks all who attended and congratulates the final winners
