INDEX 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- Leisure World offers a variety of ways to recycle everything from batteries to old computers.

Donations are being accepted to send soldiers to the annual Army Birthday Ball on May 30 at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. The event is sponsored by the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the Association of the United States Army (GLAC-AUSA) to give soldiers a night out, time to relax and be honored for their service. It is through the generous donations of individuals, companies and other groups that the GLAC-AUSA is able to host the brave men and women at the annual Army Birthday Ball. The evening includes a four-star dinner and live entertainment, followed by dancing, and a visit from Miss California. All entertainers donate at least a portion of their normal fees to support the soldiers. People can thank the troops by donating $25, $50, $100 or sponsoring a whole table.

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.

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 See SUNSHINE, page 8 Schmooze Club Pickle-making event planned The Schmooze Club is holding its annual homemade Kosherpickle making event at 10:30 a.m. on May 12 in Clubhouse 3, Room 9.

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.

Garden Club 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.

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. —Jojo Weingart, photo HUI O HULA: Hui O Hula thanks Hana Hou (pictured), Kolohe ‘Ukulele Club, its hula dancers, Ren Villanueva and the LW vaqueros for their terrific performances May 3 in Clubhouse 1.

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. Larry Blake LW contributor by 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.

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.

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.

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. NEWS Answers on page 18 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. Come See the Real Typo at the News 9 To 5 Animal Crackers Gasoline Alley By Fred Wagner By Jim Scancarelli Middletons By Raph Dunagin & Dana Summers Broom-Hilda By Russell Myers By Harley Schwadron NEWS Seal Beach Leisure World Golden Rain News/May 7, 2015 25 Work Space The Observer Crossword Puzzle 26 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).
