From the comments we received
from the merchants and the Leisure World attendees, a good time

When this project was conceived, its mission was to bring
the community together in a fun
way, introducing the residents of
our community to the members of
the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce. We knew, from talking to
both groups, there was a sincere
desire to meet and mix, but the
venue needed be developed.

See DEMARCO, page 24
Obituary..................24
Perspectives.............4
In April of 1975, the North
Vietnamese Army was closing in on Saigon as South
Vietnamese resistance was
crumbling.
About 5,000 Americans
had 24 hours to escape.
Their South Vietnamese allies, co-workers and
friends—like Helen Tran of
Mutual 15—faced certain
imprisonment and possible
death if they remained behind, yet there was no official
evacuation plan in place.
Tran recounts her harrowing ordeal in a story of
heartbreak and hope that will
run in The News on April 30,
the 40th anniversary of the
fall of Saigon.
She was one of 135,000
South Vietnamese who escaped from a city under
fire with the help of heroic
Americans who took matters
into their own hands. They
engaged in unsanctioned and
often makeshift operations
in a desperate effort to save
as many people as possible.
This remarkable page in
history has been documented
in “The Last Days of Vietman,” produced by American
Experience. It will be broadcast on PBS SoCal at 8 p.m.
on April 28.
Tran and her family were
among the refugees who left
behind all they had to begin
a new life in America.
“The pain is still there,”
said Tran. But a legacy of
hope shines from the face of
her little grandson, hanging
from a photograph on her
wall of her bright LW home.
“He is everything to us.”
“The Last Days in Vietnam” was nominated for an
Academy Award for Best
Documentary Feature.
The documentary was
written and produced by Rory
Kennedy for the American
Experience Films/PBS.

Sunshine Club
Caller ID helps a
resident avoid scams
by Jim Breen
Issues/Opinions
Editor
A recent column about threatening scam calls prompted a note
from Saundra Luther Stark, president of Mutual 1.
She got three telephone calls on her answering machine from the
“attorney general” all with basically the same information: “Please
hang up, immediately leave your job and return this call. You are
being investigated for a fraud. If this office does not hear from you
within 72 hours, officers will appear at your doorstep.”
Stark laughed, believing the calls to be a joke. “They knew I had
retired from the court system and as president of my mutual I receive
many calls,” she said.
After the second one two days later, she called Security and
was told by Tommy Fileto, the watch commander, that it was most
likely a scam.
The third call left on her answering machine was from another
area code, 916, the Sacramento area.
“I never answer a call from a number I don’t recognize,” she said.
“Thank God for caller ID.”
•••
After a long absence, the Euromillion Lottery Commission scam
has returned to Leisure World.
Mutual 5 resident Wes McCready received a letter with news that
he won $4.5 million in a drawing. He was told where to call, email,
or fax in Madrid, Spain, for “processing and eventual remittance.”
McCready passed up the offer, but kept the letter to show his
family what a scam letter looks like.
Lottery winners are never selected in a drawing. They win because
they purchased a ticket or someone else did in their name.
•••
Romantic overtures are one way to scam consumers.
An unnamed resident received an email titled “Secret crush.”
“I hope you feel the same way about me as I do you. This is
difficult to do because I have never done anything like this before.”
To help you figure out who I might be, I took several pictures
and made a little naughty video. They are a bit risque so I created a
private-profile as a “safe Adult dating website to post them online.”
For whatever reason, the The LWer was given 30 minutes from
opening the email to sign-in and anonymously verify his identity.
Have you been the victim of a scam attempt? Send the details
to [email protected] or call 431-6586, ext. 387, Wednesday
through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Due Date: 4/23
Through the years the Golden
Age Foundation (GAF) has
become involved in various
programs and projects to benefit
Leisure World shareholders. Recently a number of organizations
and residents have expressed interest in sponsoring a bus bench in
the community. Today’s column
is intended to respond to these
questions.
Q. How do we donate money
for the Bus Bench project?
A. The first step in the process of sponsoring a bus bench
is to contact the Golden Age
Foundation. Leave a message
at 431-9589 requesting a call
back from the board president,
Maureen Habel, who will get the
ball rolling.
Q. What does it actually
cost to donate one bus bench?
A. The current cost for one
bus bench is $470, which includes
signage stating “Courtesy of
Golden Age Foundation.” There
is an additional $150 fee if the
donor requests different signage.
Q. What is the donation
needed to include a protective
cover for one bus bench?
A. This requires a substantial
contribution. The total cost for a
bus bench cover is $9,500, and
includes the bus cover, as well
as all related installation work.
Q. Where is the bus bench
placed? Who decides this?
A. The decision regarding the
placement of bus benches is made
in consultation with the donor and
the Golden Rain Foundation that
oversees all construction within
the community. The donor may
have a specific location in mind,
and this will certainly be given
due consideration.
Q: Is there much of a need
for more bus benches?
A: There’s always room for
one more. Everyone agrees that
bus benches provide essential

All shareholders are invited to

5-6:30 p.m. on April 29 sponsored
by Senior Patriots for Peace. It
will be held at the Main Gate in
front of Leisure World.
Since Earth Day was observed this month, the vigil will
be dedicated to protecting the
environment. As stated in the
group’s mission statement: “We
focus on issues relating to world
peace, social justice, and the
environment…”
Ecologist Thomas Berry
wrote: “We aren’t human beings
on the earth; we are human beings
of the earth. The phrase ‘on the
earth’ implies we are somehow
separate from the earth. The
phrase ‘of the earth’ expresses our
innate connection to and reliance
upon this planet for our existence.
We are part of one integral earth
community, and have a special
responsibility to be good stewards
of the earth.”
Those with concerns about
environmental issues such as
dependence on fossil fuels, extension of the Keystone Pipeline,
fracking, air and water pollution,
or moving forward to sustainable
energy and protecting natural resources, may join the peace vigil
for any block of time.
Signs will be provided, or
people can bring their own.

Concerns addressed over absence
of Letters to the Editor in The News
Randy Ankeny
GRF Executive Director
by
I would like to take this opportunity to address
some concerns that have arisen due to the brief
moratorium on Letters to the Editor within the
GRF News.
Letters to the Editor are not coming back – False!
The action passed by the Communications Committee was for a moratorium of up to six months.
I estimate that the required policy revision will Randy Ankeny
take far less time.
The moratorium on Letters to the Editor was to control community opinion – False! The moratorium is only to allow due process
to make a few modifications to the policies.
The News is not taking any letters to the Editor - False! Your
letters are welcome; during this policy review time all Letters to the
Editor will be forwarded to an applicable committee, where the letter will be read at the committee meeting (a public forum and open
to all shareholders) and given due review and consideration by you
fellow shareholders.
Letters to the Editor increase community conversation through our
newspaper. Letters that are controversial or unpopular are desired
as an important part of communications.
The goal of required policy revisions are to encourage your
thoughts and opinions without impeding other shareholders’ rights
and to ensure that any information presented is factual. That said, the
pending revisions are designed to prevent slanderous, defamatory
and/or libelous content.
Full transparency here: Letters to the Editor also can be administrative headaches. A strong, consistent and clear letters policy helps
minimize the headaches. The publication of a letter is a privilege,
not a right.
• The newspaper can be held liable for the content of letters that
are printed in the newspaper. It’s our job to balance the freedom of
opinion with the demands of our credibility. Please bear with us as
the few required changes are made.
On this note, please also know that we want to hear from you;
there are open comment periods at all GRF committee and Board
meetings.

LW Art League
Watercolorist Keiko Tanabe
will demonstrate tonight at 7
The Leisure World Art League will meet at 7 p.m. on April 23 in
Clubhouse 4. Watercolorist Keiko Tanabe will be the demonstrating artist.
She was born in Kyoto, Japan, to an art-loving family. She enjoyed
drawing and painting, and won many awards in children’s art classes.
Art was not her chosen field of study in higher education. She
earned a B.A. in intercultural communication from the International
Christian University, Tokyo, and a M.A. in international education at
UCLA. She has used these skills in various governmental, legal and
consulting positions and, as a result, was able to travel extensively
in Europe, Asia and North America.
Through the years, Tanabe felt a growing desire to pursue her interest in making art. She studied drawing and watercolor painting at
a community college in San Diego and with several well known
professional artists. Her first project as an artist was illustrating a
book written by her father, a renowned scholar of French literature
in Japan. The book, “Through the Azure Sea and Sky of Provence:

It’s, Oh, So Hard to be Fifteen
“Look Ma, No Hands” There was a cry
throwing my arms high to the sky
The world was grand, it was like heaven
Of course it was, I was just seven
I went to school, made many friends
I burnt my candle at both ends
Plenty of laughter, hugs and food
At ten my world was awfully good
Then came thirteen, and lo behold
I wanted so much to be old
To wear mascara, heels and dresses
At thirteen, there just were no stresses

A cash cow refers to a work
that, when produced, can guarantee near or sold-out houses. Since
its Paris, (1980) London, (1985)
and New York (1987) debuts Les
Misérables has been raking in
the money.
The professional production
in New York ran for 16 years
and 6,680 performances. Les
Misérables is now finally available to professional and semiprofessional companies like
Musical Theatre West (MTW)
and has arrived in a production
that is as good as any I have seen
of this opera.
Though billed as a “musical,”
Les Misérables is an opera. It
has recitative, sung dialogue, as
opposed to spoken dialogue. It is
not a musical comedy since it only
has about four legitimate laughs.
It is not grand opera because the
songs are not up to the standards
in grand opera.
Les Misérables is an adaptation of Victor Hugo’s mammoth
1,500 page novel about the
French revolution. It tells the
whole story, in a condensed version, never really digging deeply
into Hugo’s novel.

At last it came; magic fifteen!
The world would have a brand new queen From now on I
would do a lot Fit all my plans in this new slot
The world kept beckoning to me
I wanted so much to be free
There was so much to do out there
I wanted to be everywhere
The first thing I would do today
Is make all house rules go away
Those do’s and don’ts are out of date
From now on I will stay out late
I want to drive a fancy Porsche
Run a stop sign without remorse
And why not kiss the boy next door
There is so much there to explore
My thoughts fly high, my dreams just soar
I’m just not little any more!
Yet, something seems to hold me back
To stop this crazy maniac
I’m now fifteen, I realize
Perhaps I’m not yet all too wise
I tell myself to use my brain
It’s not so silly to abstain
So all the things that I’ve been taught
They better not have been for naught
Well, maybe now that I’m fifteen
I will just wait till I’m eighteen

—Doug Cox, staff photo
PAUL PRATT of Mutual 2 and co-chair of the Seal Beach
Chamber of Commerce Outreach Committee (seated), welcomes LWers to the first community expo.
EXPO
THE COMPANY—Vickie Van Ert (l-r), Lynn R. Heath, Steve Nichols, Jeanine Greb and T. Smith .
The Company
Rock ’n’ roll evening will start at 6 on May 6
The Pure Joy Dance Group
will salute the community with a
presentation of “Rock the Boat,”
a rock ’n’ roll sea cruise on May
6 in Clubhouse 2.
Doors open at 5 p.m.; the show
starts at 6.
Dressy attire is suggested.
Bring snacks, beverages and be
part of an entertaining evening of
song, dance and more.
Steve Nichols will be the
captain for this free performance.
Purchase 50/50 tickets to support
The Company and keep performances free. The Company is one

admission.
For more information, call
Lynn R. Heath at 296-5588 or

Genealogy Workshop
DNA is topic of discussion on April 29 at 1:30 p.m.
The Genealogy Workshop
Research Library is open from
1-4 p.m. on Tuesday-Thursday
and from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on the
second Saturday of the month.
The library is located in Club-
house 3, Room 10. On Saturdays,
enter through the outside patio
door to avoid religious services
in the lobby.
Computers with research
programs and a large inventory
of research books and magazines
are available.
A discussion group will
consider “DNA Results—Now
What?” from 1:30-2:30 p.m. on
April 29 in the library.
From page 1
We wish the residents could have seen how well the Expo developed. Leisure World residents should be proud of their leaders,
both GRF directors and staff. Literally everyone rolled up their
sleeves and got it done, especially Randy Ankeny. The same goes
for Terry DeLeon and Doug Cox, who spent extra hours to ensure
the merchants’ success.
The goal was to create a sense of community. Without that spirit
first taking hold with the committees and staff, the Community Expo
would never have come together as it did.
Commenting from the Chamber side, with your help in driving
approximately 2,500 visitors to the Expo, may we offer GRF and staff
a well-earned pat on the back and “well done,” along with our thanks.
One final note, some outsiders say that Leisure World is a community of old, sedentary people. We just wish those who make such
comments could have seen the scene Saturday. Not even a beautiful
104-year-old lady could be denied her visit.
That said, our final comment is directed at the residents of Leisure
World: You folks are awesome, alive, and more active than some of
our children or grandchildren. Thank you for attending! Your positive energy was on grand display. We hope we can make the Expo
an annual event, even bigger and better each year.
Warmest regards,
Julie Correa, Community Expo chairperson
Shannon Switzer, Chamber Outreach Committee co-chair
Paul Pratt, Chamber Outreach Committee co-chair;

The first Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce Community Expo
packed Clubhouse 4 and the surrounding parking lot on April 18.
According to organizers the event was a success, drawing more
than 2,500 shareholders and residents.
The event was open only to members of the Golden Rain
Foundation and vendors representing the Seal Beach Chamber
of Commerce.
“A good time was had by all,” said Terry DeLeon, GRF recreation supervisor.
There were lot of freebies, including the popular button that
reads, “Hi­— I can’t remember your name either.” The button is
a perfect tie-in to the GRF campaign “Just say Hello.”
LWer Glenna Hoff, Mutual 6, said “It was fantastic, I really
enjoyed it. The gifts were wonderful.” She had a massage that
she is sure lasted longer than the five minutes promised. She was
also impressed with the food and portions.

Bus driver spotlight
T.J. Camacho of Westminster was recruited by
his friend and fellow bus
driver John Neal to drive a
Leisure World Minibus last
November.
He drives the “B’ bus.
Neal felt that Camacho
had the perfect personality
for Leisure World.
Camacho came out of 16
years of retirement to drive the
Minibus. He was a member of
the iron workers union.
“I love talking to people,
it is so neat,” says Camacho.

RESPITE— A pair of Canada geese decided that the Leisure World Golf Course was a nice place to take a rest.
The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) is a large wild
goose species with a black head and neck, white patches
on the face, and a brown body. They are native to arctic and
temperate regions of North America. The Canada goose is
migratory and spends winters in most parts of the United
States. They tend to be found on or close to fresh water.
Canada geese are monogamous, and most couples stay
together all of their lives.

Q. Why have individuals donated bus benches in the past?
A. The reasons vary. Sometimes the donation has been
made as a remembrance to a
beloved family member or dear
friend. In other instances donors
have remained anonymous, but
have decided to sponsor a bus
bench to make it easier for their
neighbors or themselves. Organizations may decide to become a
bus bench donor to express their
interest in our community and to
contribute to its development in
a tangible way.
Additional projects sponsored by the GAF have included
refurbishing the Exercise Room

Disney Concert Hall
by Cathie Merz
community editor
Looking for a culturally inviting afternoon adventure?
Look no further than the
world-renown Disney Concert
Hall, located at 111 South Grand
Ave. in Los Angeles. It is an architectural and acoustic wonder,
located one block uphill from
the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (METRO) Red Line’s Civic
Center Station.
The stainless steel-skinned
concert hall opened in 2003, and
is home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and the Los
Angeles Master Chorale.
The concert hall was built
to be more than a place to hear
music.
In addition to the acoustically
perfect 2,265-seat auditorium, the
four-acre venue includes the Library of Congress/Ira Gershwin
Gallery, with rotating exhibits,
and a public garden. The project
cost an estimated $274 million.
The project began in 1987
when Lillian Disney made an
initial gift of $50 million to build
a performance venue as gift to the
city and as a tribute to her late
husband, Walt Disney, who was
devoted to the arts and the city.
The structure was designed by
Frank Gehry from the inside out.
The acoustics were designed by
Yasuhisa Toyota.
METRO had to use special
construction in the section of
tunnel near the venue to ensure
that the rumble of trains wouldn’t

intrude on the sound quality.
Self-guided audio tours, narrated by John Lithgow, of the
concert hall are offered by the
Music Center most days. The
tour includes much of the interior
space, the gardens and architectural highlights of the building.
Complimentary docent-guided
tours are offered most weekends
at noon and 1:15 p.m. To check
on tour availability and for more
information, call (213) 972-7483.
The tours do not include the
auditorium due to a near constant
rehearsals, performances and
special events.
All tours are an hour long and
begin in the Grand Avenue Lobby
of the hall. Tickets are available
at the Walt Disney Concert Hall
Box Office.
The exterior of the curved
“silver sails” structure was originally going to be made of stone,
but because the project was exceeding the budget, the exterior
was covered in matte-finished
stainless steel.
The walls of the Children’s
Amphitheater, located in the park,
and the Founders Room were
skinned with highly polished,
reflective sheeting, which after
completion had to be dulled by
sanding because the reflection
caused heat problems in nearby
buildings and on the street.
Located 34 feet above Hope
Street and behind the concert
hall is a tranquil public park
that provides a break from the
bustling city surroundings. The
park was funded by the State of
California and is nearly an acre
in size. On a clear day several
Los Angeles landmarks can been
seen, including the Los Angeles
Central Library, the Hollywood
sign and Dodger Stadium. The
park is open to the public from
10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Mature flowering trees thrive
in specially designed planter
boxes. Most of the trees were
moved from private residences
and planted facing the same direction as when they were originally
planted.
The garden area also features
the fountain, “A Rose for Lilly,”
dedicated to Lillian Disney and

The Metro Blue Line to Long Beach is the oldest line
in Los Angeles’s light rail system.
Metro Blue Line renovations
cause major weekend delays
by Cathie Merz
Road Warrior
Under normal circumstances my favorite and the
most convenient way to get to
downtown Los Angeles is via
the Metro Blue Line. I often
opt to attend an event in L.A.
over Orange County because
of the convenience.
However, the light rail is
currently under construction
and riders are experiencing
major headaches and delays.
Metro is upgrading stations
along the route and closing
stations on the weekends to do
the repairs. Riders must get off
the trains and board buses that
shuttle them to a station on the
other side of the construction
area.
This would not be a major
concern if it was organized and
well thought out. But it is not.
Riding public transportation is always time consuming
and is not something to do if
time is of the essence.
The biggest problem is that
there are not enough shuttle
buses.
It seems that each train car
has seats equal to a little more
than two buses and usually
each train is comprised of three
or four cars, which calculates
to at least six buses per train.
However the MTA is not using
the same calculations.
Passengers from a previous
trains are already pushing and
shoving when another train
arrives leading to flaring tempers, so be prepared spend a
lot of extra time getting from
Long Beach to Los Angeles.
The shuttle buses are only
in operation on weekends.
Weekdays, one track is open
through the construction zone
allowing trains traveling in opposite directions to share the
track and get through, although
delayed.
It might be best to avoid
weekend Blue Line trips into
L.A. until the renovations are
complete, which could be a
long while.
The renovations are part of
a six-year, $1.2 billion overhaul to the Metro Blue Line,
which began in Long Beach in
September last year. The Blue
Line is Los Angeles County’s
oldest light rail, connecting
downtown Long Beach to
downtown L.A.
This is the first major overhaul to the Blue Line since
its construction in 1990. It
includes new tracks, improved
stations, refurbished rail cars
and more.
The line sees nearly 90,000
boardings per day.

Travel Tips
LWer shares
advice for deals
Pam McDougal, Mutual 1,
travels often since retiring and
her neighbors often ask her for
advice, so she has offered to share
some of her money-saving tips.
The first tip is to book fast
because prices change.
She is taking a 10-day cruise
on The Norwegian Pearl this
month. She purchased an inside
cabin, with a $25 credit on board
(VTG No. 27128) for $399 per
person. The price three days after
she booked was $599.
“This may seem unreal, but
I find deals like this often,” she
says.
She traveled on a 12-day
Princess Cruise to the Panama
Canal for $699 per person; a fourday cruise from Long Beach to
Catalina and Ensenada for $125
for one cabin; and a seven-day
Caribbean cruise on the new MSC
Divina for $199 per person last
summer.
Since she travels alone most
of the time, she has to double
the price and add port fees and
taxes. Some newer ships now
have single cabins.
“If you allow the cruise line to
wait-list your cabin, they might
upgrade you from an inside cabin
to an ocean view for no fee. Even
with these additional port fees
and taxes, you can’t beat these
prices,” she says.
Some additional suggestions
are:

interactive arts and culture events
produced by the Music Center
Education Division and the L.A.
Philharmonic, including singalongs and drumlines.
On the second floor of the
concert hall, with its Douglas-fir
walls and ceiling, is the Library of
Congress/Ira Gershwin Gallery
that is open to visitors who are on
a tour or attending a performance
inside the concert hall.
Exhibits rotate bi-annually.
The current exhibit is the “American Ballet Theatre: Touring the
Globe for 75 Years,” including
objects from the American Ballet
Theatre Collection and extensive
dance and music collections.
The auditorium features a
$3-million pipe organ that weighs
40 tons and is mounted on an
earthquake-proof steel frame.
Only 2 percent of the organ’s
6,134 pipes are visible and are
often said to look like pickup
sticks or French fries.
The longest pipe is 32 feet
and the diameter of a telephone
pole. It is made of Douglas fir and
weighs 900 pounds. The smallest pipe is six inches, the size of
a pencil. It is made of a tin-lead
alloy and weighs one ounce.
The organ chamber is divided
into five sections, each controlled
by its own simulated ivory keyboard or wood pedal-board connected to a movable console that
can be plugged in at four locations
on the stage.
The volume is controlled by
louvered shutters that muffle and
amplify the sound.

Sudoku
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.

Find Typo
We’ve hidden a small, black silhouette of Typo, the name of the fish serving as
The News’ staff mascot, somewhere in this issue. If you locate him and enter
our Find Typo contest, you may win a $25 Starbuck’s gift card in our monthly
drawing. To enter, locate Typo and then either email, mail or bring into The
News office your name, mutual, telephone number, the issue’s date, the page
number and exact location on the page of where you found Typo. Deadline for
each week’s entries is 5 p.m. on the Wednesday following the publication of a
particular issue.
Typo will be hidden in a new location in each issue of The News. Our “Find
Typo Contest” is open exclusively to Leisure World residents, who can enter
once for each issue published in a given month (a total of four separate entries
in a typical four-week month). The odds of winning will depend on the
number of correct entries received.
The monthly gift card drawing will be held one week after we publish the final
issue of that month. All entries for the entire month will be put into the Flo Dartt
Fishbowl, and a single name will be drawn for that month’s winner. The winner
will be notified and invited to appear in a winner’s picture to be published in
The News.
The prize is not redeemable for cash, and there will be no substitutions. The
News’ selection of the winner is final, and receipt of entries cannot be verified.
