coastal caution
—Ruth Osborn, staff photos
SEAL BEACH city crews built a mini-berm to stop oceanwater from spilling onto boardwalk.
Dangerous conditions persist due to high tide, surf
The waters cold, but the waves
are strong, and that was enough to
lure local surfers to south-facing
beaches this week.
The fun was somewhat tempered by minor coastal flooding
at Seal Beach and other oceanhugging communities.
An unusually high tide with
six-foot swells Sunday night
caused ocean water to crest the
beach and spill onto the boardwalk at the Seal Beach Pier
near Tenth Street and Seal Way,
according Seal Beach police reports. No damage was reported
as a result of the minor flooding.
The swells are from a storm
that originated southeast of New
Zealand.
City crews worked Monday
to swab the boardwalk and shore
up coastal property ahead of
expected high surf throughout
the week.
“City staff constantly monitors conditions on the beach,”
said Seal Beach Public Works
Director Sean Crumby. “This
week’s surf and tide prompted
the city to place a small berm.”
Surfers were undaunted by
the big waves Tuesday, with the
lineup spread from the pier to
the jetty.
Lifeguards are warning people to stay away from the water
unless they are expert swimmers.
Crumby and Marine Safety
Chief Joe Bailey patrolled the
beach on Tuesday morning to
inspect the berm. The high tides
combined with big surf happen
about four times a year, Crumby
said, “and we are prepared to
respond accordingly.”
The city recently removed a
20-foot sand berm built annually
in the fall to protect shorefront
homes from high winter surf­.
The National Weather Service
(NWS) issued an advisory warning of large surf, five to eight feet,
on south facing beaches through
Tuesday, with three- to four-foot
swells persisting through Friday.
The big waves were accompanied
by a drop in water temperature.
High surf and strong currents
have combined to make it danger-

GRF
Rumors concerning the Leisure World Globe are put to rest
Randy Ankeny
GRF Executive Director
by
I just got off the phone after listening to several more rumors
about the Globe, and I’d like to take this opportunity to separate the
facts from the rumors.
The dictionary gives us two definitions of the word “rumor:”
1. talk or opinion widely disseminated with no discernible source
2. a statement or report without known authority for its truth
The current batch of Globe rumors certainly match those definitions, so let’s begin.
1.) Rumor: People working on the Globe walked off the job.
Fact: No contractors have walked off the job. The restoration
of the Globe involves several different and specialized contractors,
including, but not limited to:
• Scaffolding and tenting
• Chemical paint-stripping and old paint disposal
• Sandblasting
• Metal work
• Painting
As each phase of restoration and repairs are
completed, another contractor steps in.
Work on the Globe has reached an important
decision point. With any renovation, especially
one of the magnitude of a 50-year-old metal sculpRandy Ankeny ture, there are a number of unknowns.
When the Globe was initially inspected, rust and
deterioration were clearly evident and taken into consideration. A
proper and prudent decision was made to restore and conserve the
Globe. Not to just to spot treat any rust and add another coat of paint.
This process involved the complete removal of 50 years of paint and
accumulated dirt and grime.
What could not be seen was covered under more than a quarterinch of paint. Testing revealed the presence of lead-based paint,
which required the use of special chemicals to remove the paint.
With the first layers of paint removed, we had our first clear view
of the metal structure and the amount of rust that had been hidden
under all of that paint.
The next step was to sandblast all residual paint and remove
any rust down to the bare metal and primer. This revealed the full
extent of the rust and deterioration, but the full extent of 50 years
of exposure to the coastal environment and possible lack of proper
See GLOBE, page 26
The iconic Globe has withstood a half-century of often-brutal
maritime weather, and restoration planning initially focused on
the complete removal of 50 years of paint and accumulated
dirt and grime (top photos). But after the paint was stripped
off large areas of rust and deterioration appeared (middle left
and middle center photos). The extent of the damage became
clear after the paint had been sandblasted away and a primer
coat was applied (middle right photo). Surrounded by rings of
scaffolding shown in this photo (bottom left) taken inside the
white wrapping, the Globe remains safely in place, awaiting
decisions about what the next steps will be.

Tofu originated in China around the Han Dynasty about 2,00 years
ago. Tofu is made from soybeans, so it is a plant-based protein
source, and it’s rich in iron, calcium, and magnesium, and has low
calories compared to animals proteins.
Often, people believe that tofu is to bland, mushy and tasteless. For
thousands of years, Chinese have created different ways of making
Tofu tasty and delicious with different flavors in different regions.
Tofu can be battered, fried and then dipped in sauces or stewed with
meats or vegetables to add flavors

Happy Anniversary
Sunshine Club
Betty Coven, magician Ballard
are guest speakers on May 8
Mutual 9 couple
celebrates their
60th anniversary
Dick and Shirley Dixon
celebrated their 60th wedding
anniversary on April 2 at a local
restaurant with good friends and
neighbors. The Mutual 9 couple
met on a blind date at Scrivner’s
Drive-In over a coke and french
fries when such car-hop establishments were quite popular.
Two years later, when Dick
was 21 and Shirley 19, they got
married in Gardena.
Dick put himself through
college working as a baggage
handler for United Airlines and
earned two free airline tickets.
They were put to use for a honeymoon trip to Washington, D.C.
They raised one son and have
two grandchildren.
Dick retired from his career
as a Realtor; and Shirley, after a
30-year career with the Internal
Revenue Service.
Now they enjoy travelling in
their motor home, water skiing
and riding motorcycles. Both
belong to the Rolling Thunder
Golf Cart Club.
Their last big trip was a move
from Idaho to LW to be close to
Shirley’s mother Dorothy Morehead, who also lives in Mutual 9
and recently celebrated her 100th
birthday.
.
Gadabouts
THEN ... AND NOW – Dick and Shirley Dixon are pictured
(top) on their wedding day, April 2, 1955, and today (below),
as retired, relaxed residents of Mutual 9.
Bingo games will not be held on Mother’s Day
The Gadabouts will not play
bingo on May 10, due to Mother’s
Day. The club wants all mothers
to have an opportunity to spend
the day with their families.
The next games are June 14.
For information, call Chee
Chee Porr, 430-5949, or Phyllis
Pierce, 598-3743.
Leisure World columnist and
social commentator Betty Coven
Ph.D., president and CEO of Mutual 5, will be one of two guest
speakers when the Sunshine Club
meets from from 10 a.m.-noon on
May 8 in Clubhouse 3, Room 2.
The other speaker will be professional magician Brian Ballard.
Refreshments will be provided.
As the first speaker, Dr. Coven
will present the results of a study
she did during her time spent as
GRF board director before she
became Mutual 5 president.
She discovered that what
cost $1in 1964 would cost $7.76
in 2013. That means that the
average cost of Leisure World
Homeowners Association fees,
approximately $125 in 1964,
would amount to $970 in today’s
dollars.
The current fees are under
$500. Therefore, the co-op style
of living here has enabled LW
to control costs throughout the
years.
In return for this financial
benefit, new rules established
for cooperative living, and the
policies passed, will not please
everyone. LWers have had to
make some changes to adapt to
the rules. In her view, it’s a small
price to pay for all the benefits of
living in the community.
Dr. Coven, a resident for
nearly five years, will talk about
how every mutual board or GRF
board director is a link in a chain
going back more than 50 years.
She will discuss what inspires
Betty Coven
Brian Ballard
people to become directors and
what holds others back.
Ballard is scheduled to speak
at about 11:15 a.m. He uses his
magical skills when lecturing

But, are the feet getting the proper attention they need? Feet are often the most overlooked part of the body. People step
on things, drop objects on them, and wear ill-fitting shoes.
Podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating foot and ankle
disorders. They provide preventive services to specialized treatment
for patients with such accompanying medical conditions as arthritis,
diabetes, hypertension and neuropathy.
Patients at the HCC are treating for the following disorders:
• Foot and ankle injuries, sprains, strains and Bev Bender

“Snap out of it” said Carol
Chambers, president of the WaRite Club, as she handed out rubber bands for members’ wrists at
the weekly meeting May 1.
They were instructed to snap
their wrists when they were about
to go down the wicked path to
snacks that add weight.
The monthly reports discussed by members involved
gains or losses.
Queen of the month for April
was Julie Nicholson with a ninepound loss. She had been at her
goal weight for many years then
found herself above her goal, so
she dropped the extra poundage.
That rarely happens to members, and now Julie has a new
challenge to stay at the lower goal.
Kathleen Lynn lost seven
pounds during the month, and
Nancy Pomicter dropped five.
Bernice Idsinga lost nearly six
pounds as last week’s top loser.
Members shed an aggregate
67 pounds in April.
Wa-Rite started out as one
of the top clubs in the early days
of Leisure World. Several scrapbooks are available to see at the
Historical Club’s library.
Wa-Rite is a non-sectarian
club founded for members to help
each other achieve weight goals
and maintain them.
The club does not endorse
any weight-loss organizations or
their views, actions or products.
Members meet at 9 a.m. on
Fridays in Clubhouse 3, Room 1.
For more information, call
Betty Scharf at 795-0356.

Drought-tolerant garden wins honor
The Garden of the Month for May belongs to Donna and Harold
Hughes, 13048 Del Monte Drive, 42-H, Mutual 15. About 80 percent of the plants are drought-tolerant and require little or no water.
There are pockets of color that create small areas of interest, as
Donna didn’t want the entire garden to be a desert landscape. “I
thought I was retired, but then I planted a garden,” she said.
As the succulents grow, she keeps them trimmed and passes the
cuttings to other gardeners. To suggest a special garden, call 2968696 or 446-0245. All are welcome to attend Garden Club meetings
at 1:30 p.m. on the third Monday of the month in Clubhouse 2.

eloquence, this opera is also known for its love story.

I saw a review for this almost new restaurant and thought
that, even though it is a 20-minute drive from Leisure World,
it would be a good choice for celebrating a friend’s birthday.
“Good choice” are not strong enough words for this delightful
little place.
As we entered, we walked past the kitchen and noted how
clean it looked. The dining area is also uncluttered, simply
decorated and very pleasant. The menu contained many of the
popular Vietnamese dishes that my friends and I always enjoy.
Our selections did not disappoint. Our appetizer, Rocket Shrimp Rolls, was delicious and fun.
The four large, crispy rolls each had a “handle” of a shrimp tail
with the rest of the shrimp hidden inside the roll, nestled against
a tasty minced pork filling.
The rolls were accompanied by several large leaves of green
lettuce, various herbs, and strands of thin rice noodles. A little cup of a thin, sweet, garlicky sauce is served alongside. Tuck the roll into a leaf, add a little of this and a bit of
that, dunk all into the sauce, and you have a great start to an
exceptional meal.
Next, and my favorite, was a bowl of corn and crab soup,
something I have had many times in Chinese restaurants but
have never before found on a Vietnamese menu. When well
made, as this was, I consider it the ultimate comfort food. The
soup was smooth, flavorful, and loaded with shredded crab and
corn. I didn’t want the bowl to ever empty.
The birthday girl, who is on a diet, ordered a simple plate of
grilled salmon and rice. The staff was happy to accommodate
her request. When the plate came, my friend exclaimed, “Oh
my gosh, how am I going to finish all of that?” She said that it
was perfectly seasoned.
When trying a Vietnamese restaurant for the first time, I
always order the traditional bun (thin rice noodles) with Thit
Nuong (grilled strips of marinated pork), bits of cucumber,
shredded carrots, etc. The portion size is not huge, but quite
enough. Our other companion had a large plate of fried rice
with crab meat.
Dessert was a cute little chocolate lava cake: light chocolate
with a molten center. It was accompanied by a small container
of berry sauce and several fresh berries. The tart berries made
a nice contrast to the sweetness of the cake.
After we were well into our meal, the charming young woman
who owns the restaurant stopped by our table to ask whether we
were satisfied with our meals. She seemed genuinely interested
in our opinions. She told us that she had worked in her mother’s
restaurant in Vietnam as a child and was so happy to now have
a place of her own.
We’ll visit again. Their description of seafood soup looks
too good to miss.
The restaurant is located in a strip mall on the southwest
corner of Magnolia and Talbert.
It is open from 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m., weekdays, a bit later
Friday and Saturday nights.

I Took the Time
Today
I ignored my “TO DO” list, and took the time to call a friend
I hadn’t seen for a while.
Today
I took the time to send thinking of you, missing you and get
well cards to say hello to other friends.
Today
I took the time to take a walk and enjoy the sights and sounds
of the beautiful sunny day Mother Nature had given me.
Today
Was a wonderful day and all because I took the time.

“ B o r n Ye s t e r d a y ”
(1950), not rated, is the GRF
Sunday Matinee movie at
2 p.m. on May 10 in Clubhouse 4. Billie Dawn (Judy
Holliday) is the girlfriend
of Harry Brock (Broderick
Crawford), a corrupt millionaire junk dealer. Brock
is embarrassed by Billie’s
lack of social sophistication.
So he hires journalist Paul
Verrill (William Holden) to
give Billie a crash course in
“culture.” But it all doesn’t
turn out as Brock expects.
This is a classic comedy.
Ms. Holliday received the Academy Award as Best Actress
for this film. Free popcorn is available at the Sunday matinees.
Community Singers
Anita Ragole will be the song leader

A full house of Leisure World Anita Ragole
residents joined Ellen Brannigan through a variety of old favorites
until halftime, when she introduced the Hui O Hula Club, led by
Jojo Weingart. They performed a Hawaiian program with a Cinco
de Mayo flavor. Everyone applauded the club’s fine presentation.
To close the musical evening, everyone joined Lewis and Felicia

Play Review
‘Side Show’ is a cult classic that never bridged gap to mainstream popularity
“Side Show,” a revival of the
musical; book and lyrics by Bill
Russell; music by Henry Krieger.
Now being presented by 3D Theatricals at the Plummer Auditorium,
210 East Chapman Ave., Fullerton, 92832, through May 10, (714)
589-2770, www.3DTshows.com;
ticket prices: $20-$70; Running
time: 2 hours 40 minutes.

LW contributor

As the economy improves,
local theater groups are taking
more risks.
Last fall Musical Theatre West
resurrected the musical “Big
Fish” from the musical theater
graveyard with an eye-opening
production.
This spring the La Mirada
Theatre likewise restored the
musical “Carrie” in a production
that was innovative. Now, 3D
Theatricals is resurrecting the
musical “Side Show.” It is an
outstanding production, but questions still remain if “Side Show”
deserves resurrecting from the
musical theater graveyard.
“Side Show” is “loosely
based” on the lives of Daisy and
Violet Hilton, conjoined twins
who were famous Vaudeville
performers in the 1930s. The
story begins with their discovery.
Daisy and Violet (Afton Quast
and Jeanette Dawson) are one
of the “freak” acts in a low brow
carnival show.
Into the Hilton sisters’ lives
comes promoter Terry Connor
(Gregg Hammer) and musician
Buddy Foster (Gary Brintz). They
mold the twins’ carnival act into
a big Vaudeville act. They leave
the freak show and enter into a
world of success on the Vaudeville circuit.
It is here that “Side Show”
takes a not-so-believable turn.
We have been seeing the sisters
as freaks, and suddenly they are
Jean Harlow look-a-likes. A musical that starts out about freaks,
a dark side of society, is now a
glamorous romantic comedy,
focusing on love relationships.
This portion is mostly fictional,
and here is where “Side Show”
gets in trouble.
Detours are taken from the
conjoined twins’ actual life into
a mostly fictional creation by the
creators of Side Show.
We see little of the dark and
gritty side of life that these women
actually lived.
The story does come to some
logical conclusions and is entertaining with its score, full of traditional musical comedy songs.
The production here is better than the musical probably
deserves. The three men in the
twins’ lives, Terry (Gregg Hammer), Buddy (Gary Brintz) and
Jake (Jay Donnell), are giving
performances, as far as memory
recalls, better than those in the
Sunday Night Ballroom
The Sunday Night Ballroom
Dance Group will not meet in
May. The next dinner dance will
be held at 5 p.m. on June 7 in
Clubhouse 4.
The Velvetones will be featured at the “June is Busting Out
All Over” dance. Reservations
are required by calling Shirlene
Chavez at 596-2669 or Melinda
Nicolet at 598-4056.
The cast of “Side Show”
original 1997 Broadway production.
As Daisy and Violet, Dawson
and Quast don’t quite fill the very
large shoes of the original Daisy
and Violet, Emily Skinner and
Alice Ripley.
“Side Show” was a failure
in 1997. A new production also
failed in 2013. It reportedly was
darker than the original. However, the dishonesty of the telling
of the twins’ story in the book of
this musical may be impossible
to overcome.
I have now seen “Side Show”
four times, and it always fails. It
has become a cult classic among
musical theater junkies, but never
made that leap to being popular
with the general public. In viewing this show, it becomes clear to
me that its biggest failure is in its
dishonesty.
One can only wonder what
a writer like Stephen Sondheim
would have done with the story
of the Hilton sisters.
It certainly would have been
grittier and more honest than the
1997 original. “Side Show” will
probably not be successful and
resurrected from the musical
theater graveyard until it is looked
at and rewritten with a darker and
more honest perspective.

Two years without you
and life is still
unbearable
Your Loving wife,
Patricia
Voghtmann, Bettie
1925-2015
Bettie Vogtmann, Mutual 2, passed away peacefully in her home with family by her side, May 1,
2015. She was ready to go home and be with the
Lord in Heaven. Born and raised in Los Angeles,
Bettie married Roy who later became a war hero and
they spent their happy married years with family in
Compton and Cerritos. They loved spending summers
on the Kern River with family. The golden years were
spent in Green Valley, California, which they called “paradise.” They
had amazing memories with neighbors who they loved like family.
Bettie was widowed and moved to Leisure World in 2002 to be
close to family. She joined the American Legion Auxiliary, and the
line dancing, garden and ladies clubs. She instantly met amazing
neighbors and cherished friends she called “the girls” from line
dancing. They were like family to her, and she felt blessed for this
journey in her life. They had so many good times and happy tears,
all with deep love.
Bettie had two daughters and sons-in-law that were always there
for her and shared many special occasions with her. She felt blessed
that she was given five grandchildren who she loved dearly, and they
shared a special place in her heart. She also adored her seven precious
great-grandchildren. Bettie will be missed by all those whose hearts
she touched with her warmth and infectious smile.
Her service will be at Rose Hills Whittier on May 7 at 11 a.m.;
a reception will follow in Seal Beach.
•••
Ireland, Vonda Rae
1931-2015
Vonda Rae Ireland, 83, of Artesia, California,
died April 22, 2015. The daughter of Roy and
Elizabeth Myers, Vonda and her twin Wanda were
born in Green Springs, Ohio, on Christmas Eve,
1931. (Wanda died in 2012.) Vonda owned and
operated Vonda’s Beauty Salon in Long Beach for
25-plus years and was an important fixture in the
small business community.
She later acquired her childhood home, the
family farm near Bellevue, Ohio, before moving
back to California in the mid-1990s where she
resided in Mutual 1.
Vonda was active in choirs of churches both in Long Beach
and Bellevue. She loved to dance, fish, and most of all, be with her
ever-expanding family. Her boundless energy, intelligence, vitality,
laughter and generosity are greatly missed by family and friends.
Vonda is survived by sister Betty Canodher of Bellevue; brotherin-law Paul Wolfe, also of Bellevue; daughter Beth, sons Bob and
Steve, eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren (with three
more on the way), all living in Southern California.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday May 16, at 11 a.m. at
Grace United Methodist Church, 2325 East 3rd Street, Long Beach,
California, with Rev. Nestor Gerente presiding.

1926-2015
Robert (Bob) MacKay, 89, of Westminster, California, passed
away on April 6, 2015. McKay was born in Pittsfield, Maine, and
has been a resident of California since 1959.
He was a naval veteran of WWll and was stationed in Alaska. He
graduated from Bryant College with a degree in accounting. In 1951,
he worked as an examiner for the Federal Home Loan Bank Board
in Los Angeles until his retirement in 1987. He was a member of
the Masons for over 50 years. He enjoyed traveling, square dancing
and round dancing. He looked forward to his weekly pinochle game
in the clubhouse.
Bob lived many happy years in Leisure World.
He leaves a sister, Annie Webb, and a niece, Judy Guminiak of
Ellington, Connecticut.
Burial will be at the Cemetery of the Evergreens family plot in

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 and sometimes color 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 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.

Seal Beach Leisure World Golden Rain News/May 7, 2015
GLOBE
From page 2
maintenance is now fully known:
the continents, once thought to be
repairable, require replacement
instead.
Some structural steel components were repaired, and work has
temporarily been placed on hold
pending action on the continent
replacement. This was presented
at the May meeting of the Physical
Properties Committee, as well as
a presentation at the May meeting
of the Architectural Design and
Review subcommittee.
2.) Rumor: The restoration of
the Globe is going to cost another
$350,000.
Fact: The amount approved
for the restoration and repairs of
the Globe included a contingency
fund.
We are currently reviewing
all options for the replacement
of the continents for which even
the highest proposal received to
date is hundreds of thousands of
dollars less than the rumor.
The short and correct answer
is at this time we do not know
what, if any, additional costs
may be required to replace the
continents.
3.) Rumor: GRF is discussing
whether or not to save the Globe.
Fact: Once it was known
that the continents required replacement, various discussions
resulted, but there is NO Board
action at this time. All options
will be presented at the May 8
meeting of the Physical Properties Committee. Upon due review
and consideration, the committee
will formulate a recommendation
to the Board.
4.) Rumor: The Globe is secretly being dismantled under the
tent, and the parts being carried
away at night.
Fact: The globe is fully intact under the cover (see photo,
page 2).
