The Dental Program in action.<br />

<strong>February</strong> is dental health month<br />

so our volunteers were out in force<br />

visiting 15 schools in Huntington Beach<br />

and Westminster taking time with<br />

kindergarten and first grade students to<br />

remind them to take good care of their<br />

teeth. Who knew dental hygiene could be<br />

such a fun topic? Our volunteers read a<br />

cute story about taking care of your teeth<br />

and show the students how to properly<br />

brush your teeth using giant plastic teeth<br />

and an oversized toothbrush. 1,600 smile<br />

kits (each kit includes a toothbrush,<br />

toothpaste, and stickers) were given out<br />

to the students. The students are always<br />

excited to listen and learn. The smile kits<br />

are also popular. Students at Edison High<br />

School help put the smile kits together for<br />

us each year.<br />

Save the Date: Please mark your<br />

calendars for our annual fundraiser,<br />

Treasures by the Sea. The fundraiser will<br />

be held at the Hyatt Hotel in Huntington<br />

Beach on Saturday, April 30, <strong>2011</strong>. This is<br />

a silent auction/luncheon/entertainment/<br />

live auction event.<br />

$350,000 to our community. The more<br />

we earn, the more we can help meet the<br />

growing needs of the community. We are<br />

all volunteers with no paid employees and<br />

we have over 180 active members in our<br />

chapter as well as over 43 members in our<br />

DreamCatcher’s auxiliary. We have over<br />

Bronze Nastar Winners: John Stevens, Sharon Niedringhaus, Gil Fugimoto<br />

with presenter Caroline Williams, Race Chair and President Brenda Zubieta.<br />

The <strong>Wanderlust</strong> <strong>Ski</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s <strong>February</strong><br />

trip to Snowmass/Aspen, Colorado was a<br />

great success. There were 42 participants<br />

including club members and guests. 33<br />

Of us left LAX on Saturday 2/5/11 bound<br />

for Aspen airport. When we approached<br />

the aspen airport there was dense cloud<br />

cover so the plane made another pass<br />

at landing. The clouds cleared just long<br />

enough for our plane to land-- probably<br />

the only landing that day at aspen airport.<br />

When we landed in almost impossible<br />

conditions everyone knew this was going<br />

to be a special trip.<br />

References available.<br />

The lodging was a ski-in ski-out<br />

bed & breakfast chalet at Snowmass<br />

mountain chalet, located in the heart<br />

of Snowmass village right on the slopes.<br />

We could not ask for a better location.<br />

Long time Huntington Harbor resident<br />

and club member Charlene Chalabian<br />

and her daughter Jackie arrived Tuesday<br />

evening and brought southern California<br />

Sunshine for Wednesday, Thursday,<br />

Friday and Saturday. The skiing was<br />

fantastic.<br />

Wednesday was “Nastar” race day<br />

with 23 participants earning 11 medals.<br />

<br />

<br />

Caroline Williams was race chairperson<br />

and did a great job with the arrangements<br />

at Aspen highlands race course. In addition<br />

to Nastar medals, our club awards<br />

men’s and women’s individual medals<br />

for gold, silver and bronze in three categories<br />

of expertise. Taking home gold<br />

medals were Caroline Williams and Dan<br />

Niedringhaus in the “a” category, Loretta<br />

Davis and Leigh Ross in “b” and June<br />

Lange and Bill Ruzgis in “c”. Silvers were<br />

won by Sharon Niedringhaus and Bill<br />

Williams in “a”, and Joetta Wallace and<br />

George Graham in “b” and Paul Lange<br />

in “c”. Bronze medals were proudly worn<br />

by Jim Sanders in “a”, Brenda Zubieta<br />

and Bob Franz in “b” and Bob Berman<br />

in “c”. Our special award for the club is<br />

the coveted perpetual trophy--one each<br />

for men and women. This year’s recipients<br />

were Bobbitt’s Bill Williams and Morio’s<br />

Caroline Williams!<br />

Evenings were spent in and among<br />

the many restaurants of snowmass village<br />

and the town of Aspen and of course<br />

some time was also spent shopping the<br />

fi ne stores in the area. Friday, the last ski<br />

day of the trip, was topped off with a dinner<br />

at one of the silver tree hotel banquet<br />

rooms most beautifully decorated by<br />

the wonderful Carla Davis with the 17<br />

pounds of decorations she so sensibly sent<br />

ahead to the hotel! The “Nastar” medals<br />

were presented and it was a perfect ending<br />

to a great week.<br />

We left Aspen Saturday morning<br />

with some regrets because the sun was<br />

still in full bloom. However, fun was<br />

enjoyed by all and everyone was looking<br />

forward to their next skiing adventure.<br />

The <strong>Wanderlust</strong> skiers are as good as<br />

their name, wandering the snow covered<br />

resorts lusting for downhill adventure.<br />

Come join us!<br />

Cantilever Decks Update<br />

Wesley Chesbro, Assemblyman<br />

from Eureka, chairs the committee<br />

which oversees the California State<br />

Lands Commission. Jim Silva along with<br />

Senator Tom Harman have taken an<br />

interest in looking into the new fees the<br />

Lands Commission is trying to impose<br />

on <strong>Harbour</strong> residents who have cantilever<br />

decks which extend up to five feet<br />

over the water they lease for their docks.<br />

Consequently Jim Silva, the Assemblyman<br />

representing Huntington Beach, arranged<br />

for Wes Chesbro to tour Huntington<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>. Jim Silva graciously invited Wes<br />

Chesbro to his house for the weekend and<br />

arranged with the Sheriff’s department to<br />

have one of their boats give us the tour.<br />

Coming along on the tour were homeowners<br />

Frank Singer, Bill Wilson, Craig<br />

Kronick and Daryl Phillip. Daryl is on the<br />

Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Property Owners<br />

Association Board of Directors.<br />

As background, the Lands<br />

Commission prepares ten year leases for<br />

anyone on the main and mid channels<br />

who want to have a dock which can extend<br />

up to 60’ from the seawall. As long as the<br />

dock is not used for commercial purposes<br />

the lease is free, however there is a charge<br />

for preparing the lease. Every ten years<br />

homeowners send the Lands Commission<br />

a fee to prepare their lease with any unused<br />

funds to be returned to the homeowner.<br />

The cost to prepare the lease has ranged<br />

from a few hundred dollars to over $1,500<br />

recently.<br />

We boarded the Sheriff’s boat around<br />

9:00 am Saturday morning on <strong>February</strong><br />

5 to start an informative one hour tour<br />

of Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong>’s main and mid<br />

channels. During the cruise all of us<br />

learned something. For example Chesbro<br />

learned that the Lands Commission had<br />

the authority to charge homeowners with<br />

cantilever decks for over fifty years but<br />

only decided to do so about two years<br />

ago. Furthermore, not all waterfront<br />

main and mid channel homeowners pay<br />

the same for the cost of preparing dock<br />

leases with 10% to 20% not being charged<br />

at all. Side channel property owners pay<br />

nothing. It also seems that if a homeowner<br />

has a cantilever deck but no dock, they<br />

are not being charged for anything. Some<br />

of the homeowners receive some of their<br />

money back and others receive nothing.<br />

What is troubling is that while the<br />

dock lease costs about $100 per year, the<br />

Lands Commission wants to charge about<br />

$1,000 per year for the “air” occupied<br />

by a cantilever deck. It should be noted<br />

that most all homeowners have permits<br />

for their cantilever decks and therefore<br />

the value of the deck is included in their<br />

annual property tax bills. The city permits<br />

decks to extend five feet past the seawall.<br />

Many if not most realtors are completely<br />

unfamiliar with the Land Commission’s<br />

rules and therefore don’t disclose this to<br />

their clients.<br />

There are a number of reasons charging<br />

a fee for cantilever decks might very<br />

well be against the law. Many homeowners<br />

are withholding the cantilever deck<br />

“air tax” fee as well as not paying for dock<br />

fees till all this is settled. Towards that end<br />

Assemblyman Silva is trying to set up a<br />

Town Hall meeting for everyone to have<br />

their say. All <strong>Harbour</strong> residents should be<br />

thankful to our local legislators for looking<br />

out for us.<br />

Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Garden <strong>Club</strong><br />

by Barbara Devlin, Doreen Hill, Kay Goddard and Norma Gibbs<br />

Members looking at the vast array of fl owers grown by the Speaker of the Day at the Feb. meeting are Kay<br />

Goddard, Hostess Marti Klarin, Pam Smart and Allan Garofalow of Tuition Growers, Inc.<br />

The Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Garden<br />

<strong>Club</strong> <strong>February</strong> meeting was held at the<br />

home of Marti Klarin with co-hostesses,<br />

Mary Johnston, Barbara Devlin and<br />

Barbara Simone preparing a lovely salad<br />

luncheon and dessert for members and<br />

guests. The Speaker of the Day was Allan<br />

Garofalow of Tuition Growers (tuition<br />

growers.net), a member of the California<br />

Organic Growers who specializes in<br />

growing vegetables and flowers from seed.<br />

He raises unusual and rare flowers from<br />

seeds and supplies local nurseries and was<br />

at one time the main supplier for Mary<br />

Lou Heard’s Garden in Westminster. He<br />

focuses on Cottage Garden plants for the<br />

wholesale nursery. He told us that it was<br />

better to buy small plants rather than<br />

big plants to put into the garden as most<br />

large plants are root bound. Ninety-five<br />

percent of his plants are grown from seed<br />

and he uses a vacuum and puts 288 seeds<br />

at one time into a form with soil. When<br />

the plant has two sets of leaves in the<br />

form it is time to replant the plants in a<br />

4 inch pot. Always pick up the plant by<br />

the leaves—not the stem because you will<br />

Beachside, Realtors<br />

714.363.1136<br />

6100 Warner Ave, H.B., CA 92647<br />

dissolve the root ball if you pickup the<br />

plant by the stem. He grows all the seeds<br />

in his own back yard and has clear plastic<br />

over the plants to protect them from<br />

wind and rain and it keeps them warmer<br />

in the winter. Members were thrilled<br />

because he brought rare seedling plants<br />

that many members have been seeking for<br />

years such as the Godetia, Rosy Morn—a<br />

pastel shaded Cosmos. He suggested<br />

feeding plants with bone meal and fish<br />

emulsion. All of his plants are annuals but<br />

they reseed from year to year.<br />

The January HHGC Garden of<br />

the Month Award was presented to the<br />

garden of Kim & Craig Allison who<br />

have installed a drought tolerant garden<br />

at 3922 Finisterre on Davenport Island.<br />

The garden designed by Craig features<br />

a variety of succulents and grasses. The<br />

attractive containers are fashioned from<br />

sewer gauge piping, saved from the scrap<br />

heap by Craig.<br />

Two of our <strong>Club</strong>’s Master Gardeners,<br />

Kay Sullivan and Barbara Simone spoke<br />

<strong>Club</strong>house off Edinger Ave. Kay and<br />

Barbara brought lots of tomato seeds, pots<br />

and mix for members to plant their own<br />

various tomato seeds. (At the <strong>February</strong><br />

meeting Marti Klarin showed member<br />

the seeds she planted in January <strong>2011</strong> and<br />

they are all about 4” tall.) Tomatoes<br />

should be planted in full sun and to<br />

reduce the possibility of disease, don’t<br />

plant your tomatoes in the same spot each<br />

year. Dig a hole at least twice the size of<br />

the container. A healthy tomato plant will<br />

grow deep roots. Tomatoes are tolerant of<br />

most garden soils and will grow without<br />

fertilizers; however your tomato will<br />

appreciate some mild organic fertilizer<br />

or organic mulch dug into the planting<br />

hole. Tomato plants like infrequent but<br />

deep watering. As the tomato grows the<br />

lowest leaves will turn yellow and die over<br />

time. This is normal and not a problem.<br />

Following the interactive tomato growing<br />

program a delicious luncheon was served<br />

and prepared by members, Pearl Holmes,<br />

Hostess and Irene Cooper and Betty<br />

McCarthy, co hostesses of the day. We<br />

were thrilled to have two guests, Melinda<br />

Sakioka and Jo Anne Blair join us for the<br />

meeting and lunch..<br />

The HHGC Garden Of The Month<br />

Award for <strong>February</strong> was given to the<br />

garden of Mary and Bruch Belcher who<br />

have designed their own drought tolerant<br />

front landscape and patio. This has been<br />

an ongoing project of Mary for many<br />

years and this latest planting is a grand<br />

experiment that has turned out to be<br />

quite attractive. The Japanese Maple tree<br />

and the Plum Tree are particularly attractive<br />

in late spring when the plum is in full<br />

blossom. The three gold canyon sunflower<br />

plants (venegasia carpesioides) bloom in<br />

front of the garden wall with gorgeous<br />

yellow flowers in spring. The flowering<br />

melaleuca with its pink pompons is in<br />

bloom most of the year. Spanish lavender<br />

is scattered throughout the native and<br />

succulent garden.<br />

The HHGC is open to all residents<br />

of the <strong>Harbour</strong>. Meetings are held on the<br />

second Tuesday of the month at 10:00<br />

a.m. in member’s homes. Please call<br />

Connie Mandic at 714-377-0017 if you<br />

are interested in visiting and finding out<br />

more about our upcoming programs.<br />

Our excursion to the Sherman<br />

Library and Gardens and lunch at Café<br />

Jardin is planned for March 29th for<br />

members and guests.


FINS<br />

by Barbara Devlin & Doreen Hill<br />

Members of FINS at the Annual Dump it Party at the home of Maggie & Ken<br />

Flavia are Jon Fults, Lois Fults, Mary Johnston and Marge Mitchell.<br />

Seen enjoying the Valentine Day Luncheon of Daytime Gourmet are the cooks<br />

of the day Gloria Beckstrom, Hostess June Ascolesi, Marian Galanis and co<br />

Hostess Mary Johnston.<br />

The Annual FINS “DUMP-IT<br />

PARTY” was held again at the home of<br />

Maggie & Ken Flavia with the assistance<br />

of their son Kevin who usually visits his<br />

parents from Santa Cruz every year to<br />

help with the preparations. The “Dump it<br />

Party” is where you can get rid of any new<br />

gift you received last year that you did<br />

not want or could not use, the sillier the<br />

better. Dinner was a catered affair by the<br />

Olive Pit, a new restaurant on Bolsa Chica<br />

St. that was delicious. The gift theme<br />

this year seemed to be T-Shirts sporting<br />

various slogans Tom Mitchell started<br />

off the evening by opening a package<br />

containing a large shirt that said “Born<br />

Lucky” with a white shamrock on a dark<br />

green background. Bob Beckstrom stole<br />

the “Born Lucky” shirt and was proud<br />

of it. Barbara Simone took home a “Fish<br />

Story” shirt depicting a fish increasing in<br />

size as time goes by. Rita Collins picked<br />

a package with a skiing Snowman. Some<br />

other “Dump It” gifts were a jewelry<br />

bag won by Carol Gallagher, two soft<br />

penguins won by Gloria Sliney but stolen<br />

by Pat Johnson, Maggie Flavia received<br />

the”dump” it gift back that she gave last<br />

year. We can’t want to see who gets it next<br />

year! Every time Maggie opened a package<br />

she had it stolen from her four times<br />

in all. Bill Collins won a shirt that said<br />

“I’m retired—having a good time is my<br />

job.” Craig Johnson’s gift was a bottle of<br />

Irish Whiskey but he did not have it long<br />

as Gene Simone stole it from him and<br />

Craig picked out another gift that turned<br />

out to be “nipple warmers” all the way<br />

from Australia. The hit of the evening was<br />

Craig modeling the gift! After gifts members<br />

adjourned to the kitchen where they<br />

made their own sundaes with vanilla ice<br />

cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream,<br />

nuts and cherries.<br />

Daytime Gourmet Members had a<br />

“Ladies Valentine Luncheon” at the home<br />

of June Ascolesi. June and Mary Johnston,<br />

the co-hostess went all-out with the valentine<br />

theme in the red and white table<br />

decorations that included floral arrangements<br />

of red camellias as most of us have<br />

only seen pink ones. Every guest received<br />

a Heart decorated bag with valentine<br />

shaped chocolates, homemade Valentine<br />

cookies made by Mary and candy made<br />

by June along with heart shaped fortune<br />

of the Year” for their dedicated service<br />

to the Anglers of Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

Both Bruce and Kathy have served on<br />

the Anglers Board for the past 10 years,<br />

helped raise money every year to support<br />

the group’s philanthropies and each<br />

has served two terms as President of the<br />

was elected the first lady President since<br />

the Anglers were founded in 1965. Under<br />

Kathy’s leadership the Anglers re-incorporated<br />

the organization could continue to raise<br />

money for the Angler’s philanthropies.<br />

The colorful award ribbons matched<br />

the vibrant colors displayed by the works<br />

of art of the 25 winners in the Annual<br />

Fine Arts Show exhibited at the Corner<br />

Gallery of the Central Library. Judge<br />

Diana LoSchiavo chose from the entries<br />

in seven categories including Best of<br />

Show and Viewer’s Choice. She awarded<br />

the fi rst place winners in each category<br />

a gift card from an art supply store.<br />

Chairpersons Betty Viers and Sharon<br />

Larson were aided in their planning by<br />

Carrol Ann Wolf, Stan Wolf and Pat<br />

McKenna who poured the champagne<br />

for the Awards Reception. Catering was<br />

provided by One Fine Blend.<br />

The Art Association used the funds<br />

from the Quilt Raffle at the Fall Fiber<br />

Arts Show to provide a $500.00 scholarship<br />

to an art student at Goldenwest<br />

College. The recipient was chosen by a<br />

committee of the college.<br />

The members are looking forward<br />

to the May 10th luncheon at Seacliff<br />

Country <strong>Club</strong> arranged by Carol Persons<br />

and Dottie Reed. The nominating committee<br />

of Kay Sullivan, Carrol Wolf and<br />

Pam Smart will present the slate of officers<br />

of the next year, and the election will take<br />

place at that time. There also will be time<br />

for the Needles and Friends members<br />

to display their “Unfi nished Objects”<br />

from their season of quilting, weaving<br />

and stitching. The past Board Members<br />

are looking forward to the Thank You<br />

presents from retiring President Barbara<br />

Larson who has been hinting all season of<br />

the uniqueness of her offerings.<br />

A series of workshops was planned<br />

by Marsha Hendler for this spring. In<br />

March Donna Vogel demonstrated<br />

“Over and Under” a fairly easy and fast<br />

quilting design with bright colors that<br />

looks like stained glass when fi nished.<br />

Members brought their sewing machines<br />

to Marsha Hendler’s home and shared<br />

experiences and lunch together. Betty<br />

Viers conducted a Collage Workshop in<br />

March at Seagate Yacht <strong>Club</strong>. Members<br />

brought papers, catalogues and newsprint<br />

to create colorful and amusing works on<br />

a fi rm board.<br />

T.J. Cooling will conduct a painting<br />

workshop and also show how to make a<br />

jewelry tree later this spring. Members<br />

Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Philharmonic Committee<br />

by Eva Kilgore<br />

Brian and Michelle Metherall were fabulously<br />

dressed at “All That Jazz”<br />

All That Jazz<br />

Close to 200 people, dressed in some<br />

incredible outfits, gathered at Old Ranch<br />

Country <strong>Club</strong> for a night full of toasting,<br />

eating, and dancing. The theme was “All<br />

That Jazz”, and everything from boas to<br />

fedoras were sported. Didi Stanton even<br />

wore a flapper dress (and wore it with<br />

style).<br />

The grand marshal event is an evening<br />

to thank the head of our annual boat<br />

parade and to announce the new grand<br />

marshal. Calvin Free did a spectacular job<br />

as our 2010 leader of the parade and his<br />

pinstriped suit was just perfect. THANK<br />

YOU, Calvin.<br />

Parade captain Craig Ferguson was<br />

on hand, along with night captains Dean<br />

Stanton, Brian Metherall, and Norm<br />

Huniu. Mike Novak was there in spirit...<br />

but in Park City Utah the night of the<br />

event.<br />

Homes Uniquely You<br />

Since 1990<br />

Congratulations to Jenny Huntsinger the <strong>2011</strong><br />

Grand Marshal!<br />

Boat parade committee members<br />

deserved a special thank you. Jenny<br />

Huntsinger and Teresa Nicols chaired,<br />

with assistance from Benita Jacobs, Linda<br />

Parlee, Kim Willingham (in an marvelously<br />

chic hat and outfit), Judy Ibarra,<br />

Karen Tribble, and Donna Gray. Also,<br />

many lieutenants were ready to party, and<br />

dance the night away.<br />

Teresa Nichols took the microphone<br />

to talk about the parade, and then went<br />

over to a covered easel, took the covering<br />

off slowly, and the excitement built.<br />

Who is to be our grand marshal<br />

this year? Jenny Huntsinger! Her photo<br />

was unveiled on that easel (Jenny was in<br />

Chicago while the event was going on).<br />

Lots of cheers, applause, champagne and<br />

big smiles all around. This is the first<br />

time in our 49 year parade history that a<br />

woman will be at the helm! YAY JENNY!<br />

There was a jazz singer, Jan Elsen, and<br />

The Yachtsmen performed to a delighted<br />

crowd. Dinner was delicious. HHPC<br />

chairmen Lisa Mulvania and Terri Feterik<br />

thanked everyone for all of their volunteer<br />

service.<br />

HHPC: Islanders<br />

by Eva Kilgore<br />

Are we proud? Yes we are! Jenny<br />

Huntsinger is our new Grand Marshal!<br />

Jenny will be leading the <strong>2011</strong><br />

Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Boat Parade. She<br />

was honored at the “All That Jazz” event<br />

at Old Ranch Country <strong>Club</strong>!<br />

Islander Teresa Nichols unveiled<br />

Jenny’s picture , and there were big rounds<br />

of applause along with much toasting!<br />

Calvin Free (husband of Islander Pam<br />

Free) looked dapper in his pinstriped suit<br />

when thanking each and every member<br />

of the HHPC for all their help during<br />

this year’s parade.<br />

Thanks to Jo Andrews for her work<br />

on the Grand Marshal Event Committee.<br />

Good job, Jo! And thanks to parade<br />

captain Craig Ferguson (wife Diane),<br />

night captains Brian Metherall (wife<br />

Michele), Dean Stanton (wife Didi), and<br />

Norm Huniu (wife Julie)... all Islanders!<br />

Thanks to all the Islander lieutenants!<br />

We couldn’t have done it without you.<br />

President Niki Kubeck is doing an<br />

incredible job as president, and her winning<br />

smile is contagious.<br />

Our own Diana Wood is leading<br />

L to R: Julie Huniu, Jenny Huntsinger, Eva Kilgore, and Rocio Griley enjoyed the Islander tea!<br />

the Juniors. Diana is in the process of<br />

planning the Junior’s fashion show “Tea<br />

Time” slated for May 1 at Old Ranch<br />

Country <strong>Club</strong>. Islanders will be there en<br />

masse, you can count on it.<br />

Speaking of tea time, the beautiful<br />

home of Natalie Elliot was the setting for<br />

the Islander tea. We munched on little<br />

sandwiches, scones, and sipped our tea<br />

in style. Davenport’s catered the affair. A<br />

delightful day!<br />

One last thing to talk about (bragging<br />

rights). Many, many thanks to Scot<br />

Campbell (wife Heather), and Cristi<br />

Ulrich of Coldwell Banker Realty for<br />

their generous sponsorship of our boat<br />

parade, and Cruise of <strong>Light</strong>s. Kudos<br />

HHPC: Marina Windjammers<br />

by Judi Ibarra<br />

<strong>February</strong> and March were very busy<br />

months for the Windjammers. Through<br />

weather enhancements and holiday weekends,<br />

our group forged on to bring music<br />

to the children of Orange County and our<br />

members.<br />

Our <strong>February</strong> meeting, at the waterfront<br />

home of Margie Finlay, was capped<br />

off with the fine instrument finesse of one<br />

April Cap. This delightful young lady<br />

was not only an excellent oboe player, she<br />

was educational and entertaining. She<br />

demonstrated her skills on this and the<br />

French horn. We are so fortunate to be in<br />

the midst of fine young musicians, and see<br />

them blossom in their craft.<br />

The first week of <strong>February</strong> saw<br />

the Marina Windjammers utilize the<br />

Music Mobile at Lakeview, Starview<br />

and Huntington Seacliff Schools. Our<br />

very own Carlone Herman oversees this<br />

activity which brings sparkle to the eyes<br />

and ears of many third graders. Our new<br />

van, purchased last year with healthy<br />

donations from many of you, is fi lled<br />

with new instruments as well and the<br />

school children showed us why we do the<br />

fundraising. It is pure delight to watch<br />

the young ones touch, play and discover<br />

sounds made by the different instruments.<br />

One teacher spoke to us about a<br />

youngster with autism. His shyness prevented<br />

him from participating with the<br />

group, but during recess time, he picked<br />

up an instrument and learned about the<br />

HHPC: Admiralty<br />

by Pat Kenmore<br />

The “Gang’s all here” described the<br />

great tum-out for our <strong>February</strong> meeting.<br />

Could it be the party people liked the<br />

cocktail hour meeting? (Which was due<br />

to many just back, that noon, from the<br />

Mexico cruise) Or, that it was held at the<br />

fun Coral Cay home of Terri and Mike<br />

Feterik? Whatever, it was good to see<br />

Norma Kowles, Bobbie Sheldon (in from<br />

the desert), Lee Swearingen, and Janice<br />

Belk, return to the fold!<br />

Our new members were on “overload”<br />

with all the clip-boards going<br />

around to sign up for Design house,<br />

ushering for concerts, music mobile-hours<br />

and Grand Marshal ball table seating.<br />

Keeping our reputation as the party<br />

group, we have a big sign-up of members<br />

attendiing the ball, making Anita Osgood<br />

our ball chairman very happy. I’ll report<br />

on that next time! See you there.<br />

April Cap charming the Marina Windjammers.<br />

Ladies of Admiralty Group<br />

sound it makes. It was a beautiful sight.<br />

Carlone reports that it was the best year<br />

we’ve ever had with the Music Mobile.<br />

We are thankful for the van and the new<br />

instruments we were able to purchase.<br />

If you didn’t’ make it to the Design<br />

House this year, make sure to mark your<br />

calendars for next year. The Maison<br />

del la Mer, a French inspired estate that<br />

overlooks Newport Harbor and the<br />

coastline, was awesome! Those of us who<br />

sold tickets and acted as docents, had a<br />

ball roaming through the three floors of<br />

floating staircases, stone and walnut flooring,<br />

theatre, wine tasting room, infinity<br />

pool and separate casita. This historic<br />

looking masterpiece, with modern amenities,<br />

is sponsored by California Homes<br />

<strong>Magazine</strong>, and designed by Orange<br />

County and Los Angeles area designers.<br />

You can rent it for your next party.<br />

All proceeds benefit the Philharmonic<br />

Society Youth Music Programs.<br />

We are always busy in March with<br />

student concerts. This year, many were<br />

held in area church halls with several at<br />

Segerstrom Hall. Our efforts and hours<br />

making these concerts happen has a huge<br />

payoff as we watch children enraptured<br />

with the world of symphony music.<br />

Their appreciation for this art form is so<br />

apparent as they move about, stay focused<br />

and sometimes keep the beat along with<br />

the director. We have so many enjoyable<br />

moments in this society and we engage in<br />

new friendships.<br />

Come and join us, we are a fun loving<br />

group. For details on our next meeting,<br />

call Susie Sampson at (714) 892-0202.<br />

Bolsa Chica Land Trust<br />

by Flossie Horgan, Executive Director<br />

Bolsa Chica Land Trust junior stewards at work.<br />

The Land Trust is happy to<br />

announce the hiring of Mark Hay, the<br />

new Junior Stewards Coordinator! A<br />

priority of the Land Trust is to nurture<br />

our youth about the wonders of Bolsa<br />

Chica. The Junior Stewards program<br />

blends hands-on restoration work with<br />

creative, fun and educational activities<br />

aimed at nurturing the knowledge and<br />

self-esteem needed for the next generation<br />

to take on the stewardship of our<br />

precious wild spaces. We recognize an<br />

important educational experience in<br />

the actual hands-on process of planting<br />

native plants, and we have seen how<br />

it resonates all who help restore Bolsa<br />

Chica.<br />

Hired through generous grants<br />

from the Orange County Community<br />

Foundation and Southern California<br />

Edison, Mark is on board to grow and<br />

nurture the program. The kids lead<br />

the group, but they need an adult to<br />

coordinate their activities and help to<br />

make it happen! Mark comes to Bolsa<br />

Chica Land Trust with many years of<br />

Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong> Republican Women, Federated<br />

by Joe Andrews<br />

experience as a naturalist and educator<br />

and we are thrilled to have him as a part<br />

of the Stewards team. If you are interested<br />

Stewards program please contact Mark<br />

Yacht <strong>Club</strong>. This unique event was for<br />

IOBG members only.<br />

We will also be having a Boat Safety<br />

Luncheon, several events associated<br />

with one of our favorite charities - the<br />

Charity Regatta. July we will be having<br />

a delicious BBQ event for members only.<br />

July 3 we will be off to the Hollywood<br />

Bowl for a wonderful concert and fi reworks<br />

display. August features a Luau<br />

with entertainment by “Happy Feet”<br />

an all-girl band. September will feature<br />

Brunch at the Long Beach YC.<br />

October will be a “burn your own<br />

steak” at the Seal Beach YC. Two big<br />

events are scheduled for December - a<br />

Duff y Cruise to see the Christmas decorated<br />

homes in Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

and an event featuring the Boat Parade.<br />

Both of these events are for IOBG members<br />

only.<br />

We try to schedule an event every<br />

month, sometimes two. We enjoy each<br />

others company, try to contribute something<br />

along the way for the betterment<br />

of our community, and just have fun.<br />

We’ve had a few quiet months, but<br />

are now gearing up for spring! Getting<br />

ready to help the homeless children at<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> View, Marina High School, and<br />

Huntington Beach High School.<br />

What do we need? Gift cards in<br />

small amounts to CVS and Von’s, and<br />

toiletries. School supplies (paper, pens,<br />

pencils, glue sticks, crayons) are welcome,<br />

too. MANY thanks to little Sammy<br />

Carter.<br />

At Sammy’s birthday party, he<br />

didn’t request Hot Wheels, or the latest<br />

video games. Sammy wanted monetary<br />

donations to help the homeless children.<br />

Result? Kiwanis of Huntington <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

received a generous donation that<br />

will help many. HAPPY BIRTHDAY<br />

SAMMY! And...thank you.<br />

Parents Parvaneh and Patrick are<br />

very, very proud. We would love your<br />

help. Please call 714-840-5090. Many<br />

thanks in advance for helping to make<br />

our community a wonderful place to live.<br />

Parvaneh, Sammy, and Patrick Carter. Sammy donated his birthday money to Kiwanis of Huntington<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

Newcomers<br />

by Patti Goughary<br />

Newcomers had the best Friendship<br />

Tea this last <strong>February</strong>. Our Social VPs,<br />

Margaret Humphreys, and Cathy<br />

Kelly, planned for every detail to make<br />

an authentic English tea for all of us to<br />

enjoy. There were fresh flowers, linens,<br />

china and silver serving pieces at each<br />

setting. We had wonderful teas, with<br />

thick cream and sugar. The buffet had<br />

scrumptious fresh baked goods with<br />

scones, sausage rolls, a beautiful red velvet<br />

cake, eclairs, huge chocolate covered<br />

strawberries, and fi nger sandwiches<br />

that were delightful. We had lemon<br />

curd, jams, and Devonshire cream to<br />

add to our blueberry or raison scones.<br />

Plus, cute strawberry trifles to enjoy!<br />

We had a great showing of members<br />

who had fun building on friendships.<br />

And we thoroughly enjoyed the artistry<br />

of Margaret, her daughter, and Cathy,<br />

in creating a wonderful cozy feeling for<br />

our English Tea Party.<br />

Our VPs of Social Activities are Margaret Humphreys and Cathy Kelly.<br />

Our next events include a Cocktail<br />

Hour event that will be held on April<br />

1st, where members will bring their<br />

favorite appetizer and enjoy an evening<br />

with other couples. Then, we have a<br />

Progressive Dinner event that is still in<br />

the planning stages, and should be a lot<br />

of fun as well.<br />

If you are new to Huntington<br />

Harbor (within last 3 years), please send<br />

an email debedwards@verizon.com for<br />

membership information. Newcomers<br />

opens the door to new friendships and<br />

other social venues within the Harbor<br />

and we have fun!<br />

Trinidad Ladies Group<br />

by Jan Little Carone<br />

The <strong>February</strong> meeting of the<br />

Trinidad Ladies <strong>Club</strong> was held at at the<br />

beautiful home of new member Sandy<br />

Reynolds. Cocktails and snacks captured<br />

the ambiance of the Valentine theme<br />

evening as members mingled to enjoy a<br />

social time with other members. Since<br />

most meetings are held during the day,<br />

it is special to have an evening meeting<br />

where members can enjoy the company of<br />

those who are employed during the day.<br />

Social time was followed by a brief meeting.<br />

After the meeting members enjoyed<br />

a dinner of homemade soups, made by<br />

Hostess Sandy Reynolds and member<br />

Kathy Korneff. There were also salads,<br />

and desserts.<br />

Our March meeting was held on<br />

Tuesday March 1 at the home of Mary<br />

Shebell. The program was presented by B<br />

to Z Organizing. They are specialists in<br />

helping to downsize and organize. This<br />

was an informative meeting just in time<br />

for Spring Cleaning.<br />

Thank you members for all you do<br />

to make every TLC meeting memorable.<br />
