Fire prevention
tools available
from Purchasing
On average, a cooking
fire causes $10,000 in damage and occurs once a month
in Orange County. Older
adults have the highest per
capita injury rate, according
to the Orange County Fire
Authority.
The Golden Rain Foundation Purchasing Department has several fire prevention aids that are available
for purchase.
• Stovetop Firestop is an
automatic fire suppressor
that people can install on
their venthoods. The small
cannister will drop powder
on the stove top when flames
touch it. Firestop for the
range hood costs $41.03 for a
pair; and for the microwave,
$77 per pair.
• Fire extinguisher, full
size, costs $28.34 each.
• Fire Gone, a 16-ounce
portable fire extinguisher, is
as effective as a full-sized
extinguisher on small fires.
It has a spray nozzle for easy,
quick dousing; $8.26 each.
There are 561 dogs registered in LW.
GRF Board will
consider dog park
The Golden Rain Foundation Recreation Committee
approved the concept of a dog
park in Leisure World at its
meeting March 9.
The committee recommendation came after the GRF Dog
Park Subcommittee voted to
approve further investigation
of a dog park. The subcommittee approval was based
in part on a petition signed
by shareholders who support
the park.

ABOUT 50 firefighters responded to a fire in Mutual 11 on March 13. Six units were damaged, four of them deemed a total loss.
OCFA investigating cause of Mutual 11 fire
by rutH osborn
neWs editor
A GRF Service Maintenance
crew worked in 90-degree heat
Monday to board up the windows
and doors of a gutted Mutual 11
apartment after a fire that caused
the displacement of at least five
Shareholders and significant fire
and water damage on March 13.
At least two 911 callers reported the fire at Mutual 11 in
the 1600 block of Northwood
Road at 4:36 p.m. that Friday,
according to a fire report and an
eyewitness. Firefighters were on
scene at 4:41 p.m., and the fire
was under control by 5:15 p.m.,
according to Orange County Fire
Authority (OCFA) Capt. Steve
Concialdi.
No one was injured.
“I came out of my unit and
smelled smoke. I thought it
was the laundry room at first,
then I saw smoke from the next
building. I heard the windows
popping, and fire shot out,” said
Pat Venable, who was one of the
911 callers.
The occupant of the engulfed
apartment also called 911, according to fire officials.
Venable said she saw the occupant, who is a friend, emerge from
her unit with smoke billowing
behind her. Venable and another
shareholder, Gene Weller, ran to
evacuate the rest of the building
as GRF Security and Seal Beach
Orange County
Fire Authority serves 1.8 million
The Orange County Fire Authority serves nearly 1.8 million
residents in 580 square miles, including more than 173,000 acres of
wildland area. It has 23 partner cities, including Los Alamitos, Seal
Beach, Westminster, and unincorporated Orange County areas like
Rossmoor. OCFA employs 451 firefighters.

police officers arrived, checked
units and cordoned off the scene.
The fire damaged six units,
Concialdi said.
Four units were red-tagged,
which means they are a total loss,
and two were yellow-tagged. That
means residents cannot live there
until the interiors are repaired,
but they are allowed to retrieve
belongings, according to the GRF
Security Department and OCTA.
Security staff coordinated
emergency housing for displaced
residents at local hotels and a
security officer was posted at
the damaged building overnight.
About 50 firefighters and
emergency personnel responded
from all over the region. OCFA
had nine engines and units, and
trucks and police came from Los
Alamitos, Long Beach, Garden
Grove, Huntington Beach, Riverside and the Seal Beach Naval
Weapons Station.
Firefighters vented the roof
with chainsaws, picks and axes.
The cause of the fire is under
investigation.
Mutual 11 board member
John Neal said emergency personnel and GRF Security did
a professional job maintaining
order and safety during the crisis. He especially thanks all the
firefighters and GRF Security
personnel, specifically Security
Deputy Chief Al Cabrera and
See FIRE, page 18
Plan Your Escape
Plan and practice your escape from a fire, advises the Orange
County Fire Authority. Identify two ways out of every room
in your apartment. Make sure windows and doors open easily.
Seniors who use walkers or wheelchairs should make sure they
can get through all exits.
Practice escape routes with caregivers and family.

will speak at
April 3 meeting
A collection agency
that collects trouble
by
Woman’s Club
CalRTA
Jim Breen
Issues/Opinions Editor
Samuel Calderon of Mutual 1 was stunned to see a letter from
Convergent Outsourcing Inc., a collection agency based in Renton,
Washington arrive at his Mutual 1 residence last week.
“Records show a past due balance of $722.03, but our client (Dish
Network) is willing to accept half that amount by if it is received
within 30 days.”
How nice.
Calderon was given three “convenient” ways to make payment,
email, phone or U.S. mail. Using any would mean financial ruin for
consumers, who would have to pay by credit card or personal check.
Calderon, however, has excellent credit, always pays his bills
and has no credit cards. So he solicited the help of neighbor Kathy
Almedia.
The letter from the agency looks professional, bearing no resemblance to so many others printed on poor quality paper and rife
with misspellings.
A quick Google search produced an alarming 147 complaints
from consumers against Convergent. One woman claimed that she
was called three times within one minute on March 10, but no messages were left.
Others allege the company will not send a copy of the collection
letter when requested.
On its website, Convergent, also known as ER Solutions, claims
it uses “high ethical standards and strict adherence to applicable
laws, regulations, and policies.”
However, its activities are in clear violation of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a federal
law established in 1981 that’s
basically a laundry list of what
debt collectors can and cannot do.
According to public records,
Convergent has been sued over
150 times in the last three years
for harassing consumers.
In addition, the Better Business Bureau, processed almost
200 billing/collection issues
regarding Convergent over the
last three years.
As we advised Calderon,
ignore collection letters from
Convergent.
The California Retired Teachers’ Association (CalRTA) will
meet at noon on April 3 in Clubhouse 2.
Guest speaker will be Fritz
Coleman, longtime meteorologist
at NBC News. He will discuss
the humorous side of aging. The
event will include lunch. Reservations are required by calling Sue

Attending OLLI classes at Cemeteries and State, Assembly introduce
CSULB both fun and easy memorial parks new bills at the 11th hour
are for the living
Janice Laine
LW contributor
by
It always surprises me when I tell someone I’m taking an OLLI
class. They ask “what’s that?” OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning
Institute) is a program offered by California State University, Long
Beach, since 1976 that allows seniors to take classes for their personal
enrichment and the sheer joy of lifelong learning.
There are no tests or homework required, and no degrees are
earned. There are no pre-requisites, so anyone can enroll.
OLLI offers a variety of up-to-date topics such as politics, art,
drawing, music, computers, famous authors, movies, opera and many
more. To see if there are any classes of interest, access the spring
schedule at http://web.csulb.edu/colleges/chhs/centers/olli/classes/.
Additionally, the OLLI publication “The Sun” is available in the
Leisure World library. It contains the schedule of classes and the
registration form to complete and mail in without having to leave
LW. OLLI offers approximately 80 classes each quarter with the
majority in CSULB classrooms.
However, each quarter there are five or six classes given in LW
clubhouse classrooms so there is no need to travel outside our four
walls to enrich the mind.
The spring schedule of classes in LW April 13-June 8 include
“The Short Story: Tales and Parables,” (stories that entertain, challenge, and enlighten); “Laugh! Laugh! And More,” (a study of the
most famous comedians of the 20th century); “Watercolor Painting,”
(learn to paint with watercolors); “Longevity Stick,” (learn to prevent
disease, protect your health, and increase concentration); “Philosophy
in an Age of Science,” (analyzing basic concepts, probing widespread
assumptions, and exploring ethics in the age of science); and “Acting
with Alice,” (discover one’s talent).
So next time I say I’m taking an OLLI class, instead of asking
“what’s that?” I hope you’ll say “I’m taking one too.”

A moratorium on Letters to the Editor has been instituted pending committee review of all applicable policies.

Memorial parks around the
country are more than places for
the deceased.
They are definitely places
used to inter our departed loved
ones; however, they are truly
more a place for the living.
Cemeteries allow the living to cherish their loved
ones generations after the
death occurs.
My first
memory of a
cemetery was
on television
while watching a movie. Julie Correa
The memory left me with the
idea that cemeteries were dark,
cold and gloomy places with big
tombstones.
I remember images of zombies hiding behind trees and
walking around the grounds at
night. That made me feel as if
they were a very eerie place to
visit. However, that was probably because I was at a slumber
party staying up late watching
scary movies.
Today’s memorial parks are
very different from old style cemSee CEMETERIES, page 28
THE BINGO CLUB
Ombudsman
Feb. 27 was the deadline for bills to be introduced
this Legislative year. That doesn’t mean there
won’t be more new proposals before lawmakers
recess Sept. 11.
As the session progresses, there will be “gut
and amend” proposals that will make their way in
the months to come; some will even rise from the
“dead” files.
Les H. Cohen
The Senate introduced 793 bills, down from
813 in 2013 and the lowest number in a session’s first year since
1989, according to the Secretary of the Senate.
The assembly introduced 1,504, up from 1,376 in 2013. The last
time there were so many lower house bills in the first year of the
session was 2009, when members introduced 1,539. Some of the
legislation of note to shareholders:
• Legalization of aid in dying for terminally ill people;
• Bill to get high-speed Internet access to the deaf
• Public places like theaters to have changing stations for disabled adults
• Granting tax breaks to the terminally ill for medical marijuana
Some represent ambitious district-specific issues and far-reaching
policy changes,and others tweak new laws with “cleanup” language,
etc.

Mutual Elections
Community leaders needed to help find solutions
by caroL weLLer
mutuaL administration
director
The community unity we
display in Seal Beach Leisure
World is a direct result of all the
unpaid volunteer board members
duly elected to serve their mutual
and the shareholders over many
years. What better way to create
and sustain a community such as
Leisure World then by volunteering time toward the governance
of this incredible lifestyle we all
enjoy?
This community was founded
on the premise that the mutual
boards and the elected board
directors would set into opera-
tion the day-to-day business of
each mutual corporation. Directors address the issues of most
importance to their electorate,
that is, the shareholders. Board
directors find solutions to existing problems, large and small.
This is not an easy job. It takes
time, effort and a willingness to
unselfishly donate a portion of
a person’s everyday life to the
community in which they live.
Seal Beach Leisure World is
full of highly qualified shareholders who have so much expertise
to offer, such as knowledge of
construction, plumbing and accounting, just to name a few.
New ideas and perspectives are
always needed and that means
volunteers are needed. Please
consider becoming a candidate
for a director’s position on your
mutual’s board of directors.
The schedule below indicates
each mutual’s annual meeting
date and election. Mutual 1 and
Mutual 11 elect directors in evennumbered years. Please note the
deadlines to apply for candidacy.
If you are interested or have
any questions relating to becoming a candidate for election to
your mutual’s board of directors
contact the Stock Transfer Office
at 431-6586, extension 346.

This production of ‘Mikado’ is uneven

Gilbert, now playing at

LW contributor
When the works of
Gilbert and Sullivan
burst onto the London
theater scene in 1871,
they caused a sensation.
Humorous and melodic,
their 14 operettas have
entertained audiences
ever since. The D’Oyly
Carte Opera Company Brooke Lohman and Chris Yeschenko
performed the operettas in “The Mikado.”
in repertoire until its closure in 1982. Times had changed by 1982,
and the D’Oyly Carte did not change with them, resulting in their
productions becoming dated and stagnant.
In 1980 a new production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates
of Penzance” opened in New York. It featured actors like Kevin Kline
and rock stars like Linda Ronstadt. It was a campy romp, a huge success, and pumped new blood into the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
That production spawned a revival that continues today. Community theaters particularly produce the shows because of the savings,
as the shows have no royalties because they are in public domain.
The latest entry in the works of Gilbert and Sullivan is the Attic Theatre’s production of “The Mikado.” It is a production that attempts,
unsuccessfully, to present the operetta in the style of camp and fun.
In Imperial Japan, Nanki Poo (Chris Yeschenko), the son of the
emperor, or Mikado, is told that he must marry the older and unattractive Katisha (Becki Daher). But Nanki Poo has fallen in love
with Yum Yum (Brook Lohman), ward to the high executioner of
the village of Titipu.
Nanki Poo leaves the court, disguises himself as a lonely minstrel,
and proceeds to Titipu to claim Yum Yum. Alas, the high executioner,
Ko Ko (Brian Crawford), has declared Yum Yum for himself. But
not to fear, as all ends mostly happily, with Yum Yum and Nanki
Poo being married at the finale.
“The Mikado” was one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s greatest successes. It’s survival is mostly due to its terrific score, which contains
“A Lonely Minstrel I,” “Three Little Maids,” “I’ve Got a Little List,”
“A More Humane Mikado” and “Willow, Tit-Willow.”
Director Stacy Holmes opted for the campy, humorous version
of “The Mikado.” However, not all of the cast members seem to
be aware of that. Several key roles have been miscast with singers
whose acting skills are limited, and not with actors who sing. The
result is an uneven evening.
In the lead role of Ko Ko, Brian Crawford lacks the experience
and comic skills for such a complicated role and style. He may be
able to do the role in years to come, but right now he is not ready.
Historically, the most successful performances of Ko Ko have been
by comedians, including even Groucho Marx.
As the romantic couple, Yum Yum and Nanki Poo, Brooke Lohman
and Chris Yeschenko are delightful. Yeschenko’s charming voice
and matinee idol looks are a feast for the eyes and ears. As Poo Bah,
right hand man to Ko Ko, Matt Koutroulis is appropriately funny.
There is still life in the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, and especially “The Mikado.” However, it takes special skills and talent,
and a consistency in the style throughout the evening to succeed.
Though this production does succeed in moments, it never pulls it
together for the entire evening.

LBSO Pops!
Grammy-award winner returns to podium
On Saturday, March 28, the Long Beach Symphony POPS! will
groove to rhythms from around the world featuring the music of
Jobim, Tito Puente and Sergio Mendes, among others.
The one-night-only concert at the Long Beach Arena will honor
the Port of Long Beach and the Waterfront Community for their
support of Long Beach Symphony’s free, music education programs.
Guest conductor and Grammy Award-winner Matt Catingub will
return to the podium for his third appearance with the Long Beach
Symphony, demonstrating his talents on piano, saxophone and vocals.
Joining him on the stage will be drummer Steve Moretti, a twotime Grammy Award nominee and winner of two Telly Awards. His
performances have been described as “powerful” (World-Herald)
and “full of subtle nuance and excitement” (Cleveland Classic). Moretti has had an extensive recording career and recently made
his movie debut playing live in the 2014 Clint Eastwood film, “Jersey Boys.”
Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia will present the symphony a
Proclamation honoring its 80th anniversary of serving the community. Concert-goers may bring picnic dinners and beverages or order
from one of the arena’s many caterers. There will be dance areas for
those who want to celebrate. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for dining and
mingling; the concert begins at 8 p.m. Arena seating starts at $21.
To purchase tickets, call 436-3203, ext. 232, or visit the symphony
website: www.longbeachsymphony.org.
The Long Beach Symphony Orchestra was established in 1935.
It plays six Classical concerts in the Terrace Theater and five POPS!
performances in the Long Beach Arena every year. The Symphony partners with the Long Beach Unified School
District to provide curriculum-based music education opportunities
throughout the year. Through its music education programs—including professional ensembles in elementary and middle schools and
widely acclaimed Miller Foundation Symphony Concerts for Young
People—the LBSO reaches more than 24,000 students a year.

13 about metabolism and how to raise it.
Metabolic rate is customarily expressed (in calories) as the heat
liberated in the chemical processes that take place in living organisms.
Proteins, fats, and complex carbohydrates are stored for use in
all bodily needs.
Other than using prescribed thyroid medication, metabolism can
be influenced through lifestyle changes.
Metabolism can be raised by building muscle, walking, eating
more protein, keeping active (off the couch), better eating habits,
and living a healthy lifestyle.
A healthy weight is a journey of learning new ways of eating and
letting go of the unhealthy ones. Retired people seem to like going
to restaurants and have yet to learn how to choose wisely and eat
small portions. One of the most common excuses for weight gain
is “going out to eat.”
New member Kathleen Lyn was honored as the top loser of the
week with a seven-pound loss. Peg Rogers dropped nearly five pounds.
Gerri Seaton has rejoined the club.
Meetings are held at 9 a.m. on Fridays. Those who want to join
should come at 8:30 a.m.

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.

eteries. The parks have peaceful,natural settings with beautiful green
landscaping, incredible art and historic architecture, hundreds of pine,
oak, magnolia, many other trees and a wide range of flora.
Many parks have ponds and water fountains, beautiful statuary
and distinguished family memorials throughout their grounds. Forest
Lawn Memorial Parks and Mortuaries was a pioneer in the memorial parks concept. Forest Lawn has been in the Southern California
community for over 100 years.
Many memorial parks around the country have community events.
One of the most popular is Memorial Day. Veterans, active members
of the military, and community dignitaries are invited each year to
celebrate with ceremonies that honor our fallen heroes and those
who served our country.
At most locations, the local Boy Scouts place American flags at
veterans’ gravesites. If you haven’t seen American flags displayed
at a memorial park before, it’s spectacular.
As a valuable service to the families they serve, memorial parks
and many mortuaries provide grief seminars. They are meant to provide coping skills to help them grow through the grieving process.
In December, Forest Lawn also puts together candle lighting
memorial services to honor the memory of loved ones.
Over the years, and because of their beauty, memorial parks have
been used by the communities they serve for special family events.
Over 30,000 couples have been married at Forest Lawn throughout at its six memorial parks, including Ronald Reagan. He married
his first wife, actress Jane Wyman, at the Glendale location on Jan.
26, 1940.
Forest Lawn also has a museum at its Glendale location that can
be attended year round for no charge. There are different exhibits
throughout the year such as the Light and Passion Stained Glass
exhibit and an eclectic collection of bronze sculptures.
Currently on display is an exhibit called “Revolutions 2, The
Art of Music.”
It displays an array of art, album cover originals and more.
To get a calendar of events at Forest Lawn Memorial Parks mailed
to you, contact me or visit www.forestlawn.com.

planning, contact me at jcorrea@forestlawn.com or call 212-6934.
