AARP poll reveals seniors’
attitudes about holiday scams
by Jim Breen
Issues/Opinions
Editor
The American Association of Retired Persons
(AARP) has released a new survey about senior
citizens’ attitudes about Christmas holiday scams,
and the results are quite revealing.
The survey of more 10,000 people polled over a
wide geographical range demonstrates that respondents put themselves at risk during the holidays, a
time when most thieves ramp up their scam efforts:
Some of the key findings:
• Seventy percent failed a quiz about how to
stay safe from holiday scams.
• Fifty-two percent didn’t know that professional
fund-raisers could keep most of the money they
raise for charity.
• Seventy percent of donors to charity didn’t
ask how their money would be spent.
Shareholders are reminded to be extra vigilant
this month when would-be scammers contact them
by phone, email or letter.
For more information on the survey, go to www.
action.aarp.com

Mutual 9 resident Aileen Ackerman was surprised to receive a letter from the Award Notification
Commission in Kansas City that included a check
for $1.2 million.
The catch was that she needed to send an “acquisition fee” of $12.99.
She wisely declined the offer and saved herself
some money in the process.
•••
Some scammers never give up.
Residents Les and Sanda Coombes of Mutual1
were contacted three times in one day by a pesky
recorded message ordering them to call a number
in Washington, D.C., regarding back taxes owed
to the Internal Revenue Service.
“My husband answered the second call and
left the phone off the hook for a half-hour trying
to discourage them from calling again,” said Mrs.
Coombes.
The scam was attempted previously, but the
couple realized it was a scam since the real IRS
would have contacted them by mail.
That’s a good thing to remember for other
residents who may be contacted.

GRF Policy
GRF has rules
governing gifts
for employees
During past holiday seasons,
Leisure World community members have shown their appreciation of Golden Rain Foundation
(GRF) employees by bestowing
gifts. The GRF has a policy regarding the receipt of gifts by its
employees, as follows.
Gift Disclosure—Employees
and Foundation Members
Foundation employees may
accept gifts from Foundation
members with a fair market value
of up to $25. Acceptable gifts for
the purpose of this policy include
cash, gift certificates, food and
non-alcoholic beverages, and
small trinkets or merchandise.
Employees may only accept
gifts from Foundation members
when the gift is presented as a
symbol of friendship, appreciation or gratitude, or during the
holiday season.
Departments may receive gifts
(plants, food and non-alcoholic
beverages only) from Foundation
members with a fair market value
of up to $100.
Employees and departments
must report gifts to the Executive Director within one business
day. The Executive Director shall
provide a monthly report of gifts
received to the GRF Board of
Directors.
Employees and departments
may not accept gifts from Foundation members if accepting the
gift causes or gives the appearance
of a conflict of interest. A conflict
of interest may be defined as a
situation that arises when an employee takes action or establishes
economic interests for personal
gain that compromises the employee’s ability to represent the
Foundation’s best interests.
For more information, contact
GRF Executive Director Randy
Ankeny, 431-6586, ext. 310, or

New property tax program law
will apply to LW homeowners
by Les H. Cohen, Mutual 15
Legislative Advocate Emeritus/OC
Ombudsman
In a previous column I reported that Gov.
Brown signed legislation restoring the Property
Tax Postponement Program previously abolished
in 2008 by the former Governor. The new law goes
into effect in 2016.
As a result of that column, I heard from many
interested residents who wanted to be certain that
Les H. Cohen
this new law will benefit eligible residents.
The new law will be implemented by the State Controller. They
were not able to assure me, at this time, that our residents would be
covered.
So I contacted the OC Tax Collector who is very familiar and
knowledgeable with the unique property tax collection process in
Leisure World.
As I result, I am pleased to share the following letter from the
tax Collector’s Office:
“The new law will apply to Leisure World homeowners. The
provisions/requirements of the new property tax postponement are:
You must: Be at least 62 years of age, or blind and disabled; own
and occupy the property as his or her principal place of residence;
have a total yearly household income of $35,500 or less, and have
at least 40 percent equity in the property each year he or she applies.
If further assistance is required, contact the collector’s office from
9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday at (714)-834-3411.
For property tax questions, go to ocgov.com/octaxbill.

Insurance needs
are different than
renters’ policies
Stock certificate owners face
the same risks as any residential
homeowners in the times of
disasters, fire, flood, windstorm,
lightening, etc.
Insurance policies are highly
recommended to cover personal
belongings, non-permitted unit
improvements and general personal liability exposure.
Shareholders should purchase
an HO6 or similar policy. This
may be a requirement of the
Occupancy Agreement and/or
Mutual Policy. It is best to verify
the type of coverage and policy
limits with an insurance agent.
The Mutual corporations have
insurance, but this insurance
protects only the building, may
only provide extremely limited
coverage for personal belongings,
and will not cover non-permitted
improvements to the unit.

Three accomplishments of humankind presented
Humanists believe that it is up
to them to make the world a better
place for all people. Humanists
also believe that science and the
scientific method are the most
reliable ways to achieve this goal.
On Sunday, Dec. 6, the Leisure
World Humanist Association will
celebrate three of humankind’s
extraordinary achievements: the
invention of writing, of medicine
and the theory of evolution.
It is difficult to imagine
humans developing a complex
civilization without the invention
of writing.
Many would not be here today
without the great advances in
medicine. Knowledge about evolutionary history has profoundly
impacted people’s place in nature
and religious beliefs.
Join members of the LW
Humanist Association from 10
a.m.-noon on Sunday, Dec. 6, in
Clubhouse 6, Room A (upstairs)
to hear talks about these achievements and join the discussions
to follow.
The speakers will be Noel
Markham, author of “Deadly
Denial”; Dave Silva, president
of the LW Humanist Association; and Robert Richert, public
speaker and longtime free thought
activist.

The Filipino Association of Leisure World (FALW) will host the
traditional “Simbang Gabi” celebration at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 16, in
Clubhouse 2. All are welcome.
Celebrating the Mass will be Rev. Fr. Juan Caboboy, pastor of
Holy Family Church of Leisure World. A light dinner and community
singing of Christmas songs will follow the Mass.
As a tradition in the Philippines, “Simbang Gabi” or Misa de
Gallo is celebrated for nine consecutive nights, starting Dec. 16, to
mark the start of Christmas.
During the Spanish occupation of the Island, the “Misa de Gallo,”
or Mass of the Rooster, was introduced to the country to announce
the birth of Jesus Christ. It ends on the eve of Dec. 24.
This is a happy and most revered day. Filipino families, relatives
and friends gather at their nearest church to welcome Jesus Christ
in their hearts.
After the midnight Mass, families invite relatives and friends
into their houses to be feted to a “noche buena,” an early breakfast
of Filipino dishes and delicacies,
mostly native rice cakes, hot
chocolate and to exchange gifts.
Filipinos living outside the
Philippines continue this tradition in their adopted countries
to strengthen the bind between
families and friends.
Many Filipino families living abroad miss the traditional
display of Christmas decorations,
including the famous “Parol,”
Christmas lanterns, in every
window. A parol is an ornamental,
star-shaped Christmas lantern
that is traditionally made out of
bamboo and paper, and comes in
various sizes and shapes with two
tails to serve as the rays.

PREVENT FIRES IN LW
Randy Ankeny
GRF Executive Director
by
With the arrival of cooler
temperatures and the holiday
season, many of us enjoy the
warmth and light offered by
candles. They are decorative,
come in pleasing aromas and
can offer ready and simple
light during power outages
and emergencies. But the use
of candles has also resulted
in the following statistics (as
provided by the U.S. Fire
Administration):
• On average, 42 home
candle fires are reported
every day.
• More than half of all
candle fires start when something that could burn, such
as furniture, mattresses, bedding, curtains or decorations,
is too close to the candle.
• In one-fifth (20%) of
candle fires, the candles are
unattended or abandoned.
• Over one-third (36%) of
home candle fires begin in the
bedroom.
• Falling asleep
is a factor in 12%
of home candle
fires and 36% of the
associated deaths.
• December is
the peak time of
year for home candle fires. In December, 13% of home
candle fires begin
with decorations
compared to 4%
the rest of the year.
• One-half of
home candle fire
deaths occur between midnight
and 6 a.m.
• Young children and older
adults have the
highest death risk
from candle fires.
• The risk of fatal candle fires
appears higher when candles are
used for light.
If you use candles, please
make sure to follow the following candle safety tips:
• Consider using batteryoperated or electric flameless
candles and fragrance warmers,
which can look, smell and feel
like real candles – without the
flame.
• If you do use candles, ensure
they are in sturdy metal, glass or
ceramic holders and placed where
they cannot be easily knocked
down.
• Avoid using candles in bedrooms and sleeping areas.
• Extinguish candles after use
and before going to bed.
• Keep candles at least 12
inches from anything that can
burn.
• Keep candles out of the reach
of children and pets.
• Set a good example by using matches, lighters and fire
carefully.
• Never use a candle where
medical oxygen is being used.
The two can combine to create a large, unexpected fire.
• Always use a flashlight –
not a candle – for emergency
lighting.
• Never put candles on a
Christmas tree.
• When worshipping in the
home, don’t place lit candles
in windows, where they can
ignite blinds and curtains or
pass candles from one person
to another. To lower fire risk,
candles should be used by
only a few designated adults.
And NEVER leave burning candles unattended!
Remember, candle fires
are PREVENTABLE; the
top six days for home candle
fires are:
• Halloween
• Thanksgiving
• December 23
• Christmas Eve
• Christmas Day
• New Year’s Day
In the event of a fire,
remember time is
the biggest enemy,
and every second
counts.
Escape first,
and then call 911
for help. Develop
a home fire escape
plan and practice
it frequently, and
do not forget about
that important emergency “grab and go
bag.”
Never stand up
in a fire, always
crawl low under
the smoke, and try
to keep your mouth
covered.
Never return to a
burning building for
any reason. It may
cost you your life.
DON’T LET

THIS
GRF TREASURER Linda Stone (r) and Vice President
Carole Damoci recently signed an $887,324.30 check for
the 2016 insurance renewal.
GRF Insurance News
Premiums are on rise due to fires
by Ruth Osborn
News Editor
Golden Rain Foundation (GRF) property insurance premiums
are up nearly 20 percent from last year, largely attributable to a
sharp increase in unit fires in Leisure World.
This year, GRF’s total policy coverage will cost about $2.1
million, with the property insurance premium totaling $1,271,055.
The 2014-15 expiring property insurance premium was $1,063,386.
GRF Treasurer Linda Stone and Vice President Carole Damoci
wrote the first premium check of $887,324.30 last week.
Since 2008, there have been 11 property insurance claims, most
of them due to fire, with a total payout of $2.9 million.
DLD Insurance Brokers, Inc., has provided insurance to the
Golden Rain Foundation and LW mutuals for more than 24 years.
It provided more than 75 insurance carriers GRF’s unique insurance specifications, and only one viable quote was received—from
GRF’s incumbent carrier, Philadelphia Insurance Co.
A growing number of insurance carriers nationwide are unwilling to cover senior living communities because of potentially high
exposures, according to an insurance renewal report provided by
DLD.
Insurance companies have a preferred loss ratio of 40 percent—that is the ratio of claims paid by an insurer to the premiums
earned, usually for a one-year period.
In Leisure World, total losses over seven years of property
coverage and four years of general liability-auto exposures equaled
$3.6 million, with four general liability claims still open.
So the losses will potentially close out higher, according to
the DLD report.
Those losses, coupled with the premiums paid by the GRF,
amount to an overall loss ratio of almost 55 percent. And the majority of those losses, $2.9 million, are from property loss due to fire.
Each shareholder can help by being aware of surroundings.
Fires caused while cooking are the leading cause of fire-related
injuries for seniors. The following are common-sense tips for
preventing kitchen fires:
• Keep towels, food packaging, cook books, curtains, pot holders,
and other combustibles away from burners on the stove or grill.
• Do not wear loose or dangling clothing while cooking on
the stove or grill.
• Use dry oven mitts to handle hot pans. A hot pan can turn a
wet mitt into scalding steam.
• Do not cook if you are sleepy or have been consuming alcohol
or medication that causes drowsiness.
• Never leave a stove unattended while cooking. If you need
to step away from the stove, turn it off.
• Frequently check items baking or broiling in the oven to be
sure they do not ignite.
• Turn pot handles away from the front of the stove so they
cannot be knocked or pulled off.
• Open micro-waved food slowly and let it cool before eating.
• Never put foil or other metals into a micro wave.
• Make sure the stove is kept clean and free of grease buildup –it can cause fire.
• Do not use water to extinguish a grease fire—it will splatter
and spread the fire.
SCE Medical Baseline
SCE offers medical baseline rates, alerts for customers who need electric powered life support
Leisure World residents who
have medical conditions requiring electricity-powered life support equipment may be eligible
to receive an additional baseline
allocation from Southern California Edison (SCE). Certification
by a doctor is required.
All residential customers are
billed a certain amount for their
natural gas and electricity use at
their utility company’s lowest
residential rate, according to the
California Public Utilities Com-
mission (CPUC).
This is called the “baseline allowance,” and it is set depending
on what climate zone and season
homes are in.
Extra allowances for natural
gas and electricity are billed at
the lowest rate for customers who
rely on life support equipment,
or those who have life threatening illnesses or compromised
immune systems. The extra
allowances are called “medical
baseline.”
SCE’s Medical Baseline
program offers an additional
year-round baseline allocation
of 16.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per
day in addition to the person’s
applicable seasonal baseline and
the baseline for their region.
People can apply for additional kWh if they have a hardship
case and need more.
Eligibility for Medical Baseline
To be eligible for medical
baseline, you or someone who
lives with you full-time must re-
quire use of a medical life-support
device or piece of equipment. Life
support devices utilize mechanical or artificial means to sustain,
restore or replace a vital function.
Paraplegics, hemiplegics,
quadriplegics, people with multiple sclerosis or scleraderma or
those who have a life-threatening
illness or compromised immune
system are eligible.
In the event of an emergency
that requires power reduction,
SCE will automatically contact
medical baseline customers
with a pre-recorded telephone
message.
The message warns of the
strong likelihood of a rotating
power outage and recommends
necessary emergency precautions.
Because SCE could only receive 10 minutes’ notice, medical
baseline customers may not hear
about the outage before it occurs.

Geltner, Patricia Padgham
March 14, 1934 –
November 18, 2015
Patricia Padgham Geltner
was born in Grinnell, Iowa. The
youngest of three children, her
father, John, was a doctor and
her mother,
Veronica, had
been a nurse.
In 1955 Pat
married Ken
Graff, who had
also gone to
Grinnell High
School.
The couple
spent most of their married life
in California, where Pat devoted
most of her time to looking after
her family and home. She was
very involved with her children—inventing games, creating
projects and making puppets for
them to play with. She enjoyed
sewing and made most of the
clothes for daughter and herself.
After her divorce, she moved
in with her mother, who was
suffering from terminal cancer.
While caring for her mother,
she met Bob Geltner, whom she
married in 1989.
Pat loved reading, especially
mysteries and historical nonfiction, watching mysteries and
musicals, traveling and going for
walks. She joined the Art League
and created many beautiful pictures in pastel. She also loved to
spend time baking and playing
games with her grandchildren—
often games she had invented
specifically for them. She was
imaginative and creative—writing and producing puppet shows
and radio plays with her children
and grandchildren.
Geltner is survived by her
husband, Bob; brother, John;
children, Gary and Janet; and
grandchildren, Michael and
James.
Honor her memory by appreciating the beauty around and
being kind to those who are near.
In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to Alzheimer’s
Association or the Breast Cancer
Research Foundation.
