After a scary start from that volcano, most arrived early for three glorious days amidst the cherry blossoms and spring everywhere. After delightful D’orsay Museum (some to the Louvre) many migrated to Notre Dame. Champs-Elysees, or park strolling. Lucky ones invaded Louis Vuitton or Galaries Lafayette for shopping. Boarding our Baroness River Cruise Ship, we sailed away amidst many camera shots and some bugling from tour leader Mim. Touring Les Andelevs castle and enchanting Rouen where next. Then on the famous Normandy Beaches. US cemetery and most memorable day for all. Popular impressionist-painted town of Honfleur attracted us next until we gloried in Giverny–the home of the most famous Claude Monet whose landscaping and blooming flowers were breathtaking. Cameras almost exploded! From there, magnificent Palace of Versailles and near tears as we sailed back for last of Paree. Most fun farewells were had by those dining at the Eiffel Tower or several wowed by the Lido de Paris show. Magical memories were made of our Seine cruising and Parisian excitement. Voila!

In collaboration with the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) and the California Department of Parks and Recreation, this new program will focus on the nesting success of the endangered California least tern and threatened Western Snowy Plover colonies at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. It is designed to be an immersive program that engages the public to learn more about nesting birds and the wildlife at Bolsa Chica. As these species are under protection, Bolsa Chica offers a unique opportunity for interested students and the general public to get up-close and observe these birds during their summer breeding season. Observations will be taking place at Nest Site 1, which can be viewed at the end of the boardwalk located at the South Lot. Trained naturalists will be available to provide information to the visiting public, while the public participates in recording observations of nesting birds and any wildlife activity. In particular, species identification, number of eggs, hatchlings and adults will be recorded as well as other birds and possible predators. But, this program is more than just about birds! It is designed to teach field data collection methods, learn identification of birds and their predators, statistical data analysis, and to get a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes activities at the reserve – a true experience! Data collected from the observations will be recorded in a web-based program that can be viewed by students and researchers from around the world. EONS Guides will be trained to work with the visiting public and volunteers to specific nest sites and conduct on-site monitoring of these species. A training session was recently conducted at the Interpretive Center with fifteen volunteers. Volunteers will rotate in shifts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to monitor the Nest Site 1, which is located at the end of the boardwalk from the south lot. More training sessions will be conducted in July to allow more volunteers to participate. If you are familiar with birding and the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, you may apply as an EONS Guide. Students are encouraged to apply for school credit as well! If you are interested in applying as an EONS Guide, please contact Kati Patonai, Program Coordinator at Kati@bolsachica. org or at 714.846.1114. This program will run in conjunction with the ongoing surveys conducted by the Department of Fish and Game. The extended survey hours will help acquire much needed data to better understand why these populations are failing to recover. Additionally, this activity will gather comparable data with other regions Amigos de Bolsa Chica by Laura Holdenwhite Amigos de Bolsa Chica offers free public tours from 9 to 10:30am, leaving every 15 minutes, the first Saturday of each month at the pedestrian bridge at the Bolsa Chica wetlands on Pacific Coast Highway across from Bolsa Chica State Beach.714-840-1575 www.amigosdebolsachica.org 7 and local nesting sites, such as the Seal Beach Wildlife Refuge and the Least Tern Natural Preserve in Huntington Beach. We hope to increase our knowledge by collecting relevant biological field data to better understand the needs, challenges and threats to these species, and to raise public awareness of the importance of such nesting grounds and wetland habitats. To help fund the Bolsa Chica Conservancy’s education and habitat programs like EONS, Fred’s Mexican Café on Main and PCH is hosting a fundraising brunch on July 4th from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Come watch the city of Huntington Beach July 4th parade, the largest in the nation, in style! Enjoy brunch with your friends and family while watching the parade in the comfort of Fred’s Mexican Cantina’s ocean view seats. It’s for a good cause! All proceeds will benefit the education and habitat restoration programs of the Bolsa Chica Conservancy. Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for children 10 and under. Buy your tickets now or call 714.846.1114 for more information. Huntington Harbour Yacht Club by Paul DeSalvo, Vice Commodore Catalina Sunset, Photo by Tim Marshall We find ourselves very fortunate during these hard economic times gaining strength in both membership and purpose. Based on how the economy has forced diminished membership in Country Clubs as well as Yacht Clubs throughout the country, we had set our sights lower for this season only to find our membership increasing with predominantly younger people. Just this last month 19 new people now call HHYC their new Yacht Club, Welcome! Our First Mate Boating seminar was a huge success and will be the seed event for future boating classes which will include boat handling, Mexico cruising, Boat safety and much more. I would again, like to thank our 20+ instructors (all members) that worked so hard teaching the seven courses. It was a long day for them but I know they took much pride at graduation that night watching the students receive their first boating diplomas. Our Huntington Beach Sailing Foundation (a 501 c3) has so far received a significant amount of donations that have far exceeded or expectations from all over the Harbour through our fundraisers. A special thanks to Lloyd and Colleen Clauss, Tom Golden, Janet Honaker and the many volunteers that put on the Cinco de Mayo party and Sailing foundation Fundraiser. A special thanks to the energetic Huntington Harbour Rod & Reel club that worked so unselfishly for the Kids sailing cause, they are truly a class act and great friends of our club. Coming June 5th Dog Day Afternoon our first dog show open to the public enter your dog and win big! Yacht dog of the year, best legs, best smile, highest jumper just to name a few. Our coming cruises include our May 20 – 23 to the Isthmus then over to Avalon for dinner at the famed Catalina Island Yacht Club, followed by a Dingy Parade and miniature golf tournament. This is just the beginning we have many more cruises to the Island and up and down the coast. Come join us! Our Sunday brunch the first three Sundays of the month have, and will continue to be a great way to introduce new members to our club. Don’t forget we have NEW bar hours for Sundays from 4PM to 8PM many of you are cruising around in your Duff y’s so drop in and say hello.

All the members and guests went home with a pot of shamrocks, courtesy of Connie. Co-hostesses of the day were Sherry Bullock and Irene Cooper. Connie had prepared a luncheon of corned beef and cabbage and boiled potatoes and Irish Bread. Her assistants, Sherry and Irene provided the salads and desserts. We really celebrated St.Patrick’s Day in style. Our Floral Design Speaker of the day was Janelle Wiley from Sherman Gardens. Ms Wiley prepared a Spring Floral Basket using oasis. She placed the oasis in the basket one-inch taller that the basket and taped it to the basket. She placed a tree branch in the center of the basket (can buy one from a florist if you don’t have one) then inserted chocolate peppermint, hybrid blue Delphiniums, Bells of Ireland, small blue, pink and white anemones and pink tulips, yellow gerbera daisies, and pink cherio roses. She finished off the basket by inserting white lacy flowers into the oasis all around the basket so the flowers will drape over the basket. She suggested using pencil chopsticks to insert the plants into the oasis. The basket needs to be watered every two days and suggested mixing Seven- up and a small amount of bleach and spray the basket a few times a week with the mixture. It was announced at the meeting that three members of the HHGC won awards at Huntington Harbour Art Association Show at the HB Library in March—Wynne Hayes, Pam Smart & Kay Sullivan. The March 2010 Garden of the Month Award was presented to the garden of Michael & Suzanne Moulton, 16971 Edgewater Lane (Mainland). A brilliant splash of color takes the eye of passersby here. Mainly yellow ranunculus and anemones are massed in planter beds on either side of the driveway. The color continues through the courtyard with lush tropical planting, a wide area leading to the front door. Mature king palms and lava rock boulders give a Hawaiian touch. The April meeting of the HHGC was held at the home of President, Mary Johnson who surprised members with a tasty luncheon in her beautiful succulent backyard. Members who supplied dessert were Barbara Devlin and Barbara Simone. Stu Span, a Rosarian, from Rogers Garden spoke on choosing and the care of roses in the yard. He said the most popular rose is a hybrid with long stems with a single rose on the end, followed by floribunda roses for a border and Grandflora. He suggested that buyers of roses should go to several nurseries and see what is available before buying a rose bush. Red roses that are fragrant tend to mildew, yellow roses flower a lot but don’t last long and fall apart easily and lavender roses usually have fragrance. Very few white roses have fragrance but he mentioned two that are fragrant, Queen Mary II and Pope John II. He suggested when planting roses keep them away from trees—5 feet from the drop line of trees. He really recommends growing roses in pots—the bigger the pot the bigger the roses will get. Plastic pots will hold moisture better than Members of the HHGC admiring the colorful floral basket design made by Janelle Wiley from Sherman Gardens are Janice Wiley Hosttess, Connie Mandic, Pearl Holmes, Mary Johnston and Marti Klarin. clay pots and it is easier to move roses in plastic pots. Use planting mix in the soil, not potting mix, work it 6 inches into the ground, breaking up clay to hold moisture. Rose roots go down 17 inches and then spread out. Plant 3 feet apart and you will have less trouble with mildew & insects and keep away from walls if possible (except climbing roses), Roses like the sun but they are not tropical plants; they like the change of seasons and need 5 hours of sun a day and morning sun is better than afternoon sun. It’s good to hose down the leaves of roses to knock of pests. Roses should be fertilized every month. The April HHGC Garden of the Month Award was given to Davenport Drive at Algonquin for the Huntington Harbour Property Owner’s Association which does an impressive job of beautifying the Harbour area. HHGC wanted to recognize their considerable efforts, led by Dorothy Ralphs, specially the beautiful and cheerful display on Davenport Drive at Algonquin. The Association changes the display seasonally and the area is always an eye-taking welcome to the Harbour. Huntington Harbour Garden Club is open to all residents of the Harbour. The club meets in members homes at 10:00 a.m. on the third Tuesday of the month. If you are interested in joining please call Membership Chairperson, Sherry Bullock at 714-846-2139). It is with great sadness we report the passing of our long time member Peggy Mouritz on May 18, 2010.

At the end of the luncheon members enthusiastically recommitted themselves to work together on the best Luau ever seen in Huntington Harbour. Our successful year has been highlighted by the progress on the Edinger Parkway. The roadside is just about ready for over 9,100 plants and trees, which will make a magnificent drive toward the 1,000 homes along Edinger. The SIGC has the community to thank for contibuting close to $200,000 over the last seven years. The most recent event was the Luau Fun(d) Raiser on May 21st, which showed how Sea Isle made fund raising fun. There were so many people who were willing to underwrite the costs. Extra special thanks go to Churee Kakimoto, Lauren Scott and Star Real Estate for their sponsorship of the fabulous Polynesian food provided by Teak Productions. Their Ribs, pineapple Chicken, rice, tasty pupus and Bananas flambe were so beautifully presented. A very special thanks also goes to Beverly Allen for her very generous donation. The evening ended with a rousing polynesian show, four beautiful girls and six little dancers (children about 6 and 7 years old) who thrilled the crowd with their hula dancing. Sea Isle Garden Club has continued to explore and apply for other sources of funds to help with this project, such as the Project Achievement Award, which will be decided by the Huntington Beach Environmental Board. The City is looking at projects which have an impact on conserving our natural resources. Our Edinger project has a solar-powered irrigation system and drought resistant plants, which qualifies it for consideration. Our club is always welcoming new members, and we have so much fun at our monthly meetings. In April, our program was presented by hostess Dorothy Ralphs, who demonstrated how clay pots can be decorated for any special occasion.

When I was installed last May by co-Chairs Eva Kilgore and Barbra Snegg as Chairman of the Huntington Harbour Philharmonic Committee, I envisioned the year would drag on. Not so. In a couple of weeks I would hand over my job to incoming co-Chairs, Terry Feterik and Lisa Mulvania, wishing them as successful a year with as capable a Board as I had. No Chairman can achieve success without the star-studded Board that we had in 2009-10. Special thanks to First Vice Chairman Ways and Means Chairman, Ellie Matthews, who handled all transactions for all our fundraisers efficiently and smoothly. Second Vice Chairman Cruise of Lights® dream team, Marlene Nielsen, Sheree Novak, Barbra Snegg, Jenny Huntsinger and Kim Weddon attended to every detail that this enormous fundraiser requires. Joyce Zimmerman and her assistant, Christine Faubert, our Boat Parade Chairs, ensured a smooth and success- ful Boat Parade. Tricia Pratto chaired Special Projects and handled our “A Fair 2 Remember” Arts and Crafts Show very competently. Our Huntington Harbour Philharmonic Juniors Fashion Show was spectacular. Under the leadership of Debbie Berry and Eva Kilgore, the Juniors put on another successful fundraiser. Of course, without the expert publicity rendered by our Fourth Vice Chairman, Public Relations Eva Kilgore, none of this would have been possible. Eva made sure that all our fundraisers were well publicized. The highlight of the year for us Harbourites was the Grand Marshal Celebration chaired by Terri Feterik and Mike Nielsen. What a successful event, honoring our Grand Marshal Brian Griley who led a fantastic Boat Parade and gave the baton to next year’s Grand Marshal, Calvin Free. I cannot end this article 24 without thanking Valerie Ingham (0ffice Manager), Ellen Halopoff (Membership), Arden Dombrowski (Recording Secretary), Nancy McDevitt (Corresponding Secretary), Ruth Roe (Treasurer), Debbie Edwards, Lolly McHardy and Lyn Senske (Hospitality), Judith Ivey (House of Design), Julie Huniu and Cristi Ulrich (Music Education) and Lisa Mulvania, Jenny Huntsinger, Karen Ridout, Melissa Banning and Nancy McDevitt (Group Presidents) for all the labor-intensive tasks they were asked to do. Kudos to all of you. As we say, it takes a village to raise a child. Here in the Harbour, it takes a village to ensure that our children and grandchildren are not denied music education. Thank you Huntington Harbour Philharmonic Committee members for all your work, support and love of this organization that brings smiles to the faces of our school children. HHPC: Marina Windjammer by Judi Ibarra Karen Ridout hands over the gavel to Ellile Mathews. The Windjammer group has completed its ushering at the Segerstrom Hall where many 2nd and 5th graders were treated to the likes of Mickey and friends and the Anaheim high school symphony. It was a joy to watch their beautiful little faces as many students entered the hall for the first time and expressed pure delight as they viewed the enormity of the theater. Second graders truly get themselves integrated into the musical gymnastics of the musicians. Hands, feet and heads keep rhythm as their ears and eyes indulge themselves in classical pieces enjoyed by everyone. Such a feeling of accomplishment for us as we relish the rewards of our fundraising efforts! Our music mobile has also been busy as it travels to schools to enhance the classroom music program with real instruments. Children get to engross themselves with music, up close and personal, as they touch and drink in the sights of woodwinds, strings and percussions. Our poor little van was about mobiled-out, when some generous helping hands raised enough funds for us to purchase a new one. Thanks to you all. The Windjammer group held our annual installation luncheon at the home of Joanne Fernback, where we feasted on a gourmet meal prepared by Joanne’s daughter, Allyson, who is an accomplished chef. Karen Ridout handed the gavel over to Ellie Mathews who will take the reins for this group in the coming year. We congratulate her and we congratulate Karen who moves onto President of all Committees. Other officers were installed for the coming year and new members and past presidents were recognized. We were serenaded by a young man from the Academy of Performing Arts, Huntington Kyle Selig sings his heart out to us. Beach High School. Kyle Selig sang several of his favorite songs for us. What a smooth, melodic voice this performer has! Kyle recently won the Music Center of Los Angeles Spotlight Award Competition which included a $5,000.00 scholarship. He is on his way to Carnegie Melon in the fall. Our two final fundraising projects for the year bring us to Peter’s Landing on April 24 and 25 for a boutique of fun and unique items, and the HH Juniors Fashions Show on Sunday May 2 at the Waterfront Hilton. Our members are also encouraged to attend the Red Carpet Premiere of the film “They Came to Pay”, held at the Meadowlark Country Club-- a fundraiser put on by the Huntington Valley West Group. Our incoming president, Ellie Mathews, will lead us into another funfilled year of activity, music and new adventures. We always welcome new members into the Windjammer Group.

The juniors are our teen volunteers, and this incredible group of kids worked all year volunteering. Keep in mind, they are all students, and have intense workloads at school, besides giving their time to the community. Allison Stellrecht and Brandon Wood were copresidents, and did an outstanding job this year. These teens collected over 200 coats for the coat drive, 100 plus pairs of flipflops for our homeless kids, and helped with An Affair 2 Remember. They’ve been extremely busy! The juniors cleaned our area beaches, helped with the boat parade, the Cruise of Lights, grand marshal event...the list goes on and on and on! A Trip to the Orient was the finale of a marvelous year. Held at the Waterfront Hilton, and packed with supporters, the juniors walked the runway in style! RVCA, Sullen, Rip Curl, Triple Two, and No Rest for Bridget provided the clothes, and the juniors were definitely styling! Thank you to all of these companies for providing these cutting-edge fashions! Lisa Knot headed up our event this year, with help from Eva Kilgore and Debbie Berry. Eva and Debbie advised the juniors this year for HHPC. Thank you to Lisa for doing an amazing job, and to Eva and Debbie! Ross Family Foundation, 808 Investments, LLC, Louis Gonzalez, HHPC groups, and individual donors helped sponsor this event. Marlene Schell, of Transnational Escrow, donated a $500 gift certificate for Fashion Island (our big raffle prize). Thank you! Thanks to Louis Gonzalez, Lucy Stellrecht, Mike Nielsen, Teresa Nichols, Linda Axel, Judith Ivey, Norma Clapp, and Diane Moore for their financial contributions. Emmy winner Xiomara Galindo emceed the show, and made it fun! Allison Andrews of APA Consulting taught the juniors how to walk the walk, and infused the kids with energy and her wonderful, unique style. Behind the scenes workers Barbra Snegg and Valerie Ingham helped and helped and helped some more! Thank you ladies! The silent auction was a big hit, and the luncheon was awesome! Thanks to Jenny Buettner for her wonderful contributions and help. Lisa Knott was all smiles at the end of the day, and, again, deserves a HUGE round of applause. Next year, Diana Wood and Annette Eliot are heading up the juniors. If you have a teen from 9th grade to 12th grade, please consider having your child join the juniors. It is great fun, gives them a chance to help out in the community, and they get many, many service hours good for college applications! Call 714-8405090 for more information.
