Story and photos provided by sdBackyard.com Community Ambassadors Stephanie Parry and Shelley Bailey SHARE Purple Heart recipients attend long-range fishing trip By Sal Brunetto sdBackyard.com member, Scripps Ranch A Page 3 & 10 s a Scripps Ranch resident and business owner of Brunetto Video Services, I was invited to document a long-range fishing trip to thank our military veterans in October. Eight spots specifically for Purple Heart recipients were reserved for this trip. It was organized by Allen Gross in conjunction with the Purple Heart Fund organization and the United States Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton. Gross told us, “For 10 years, I have been the charter-master for a long-range fishing trip aboard the world’s largest and most luxurious long-range sport-fishing boat, the EXCEL. Each and every trip has been amazing and we look forward to our upcoming trip.” Gross went on, “I am doing something to thank our military veterans for the courageous job they’ve done. I have reserved eight spots on the trip specifically for Purple Heart recipients to join myself and 17 friends and family members.” When organizations and people started hearing about what he was about to do, donations graciously started coming in. Gross contacted Brunetto Video Services to videotape and photograph the trip. I said yes without hesitation. What a great idea, not only to invite wounded veterans, but to also document this historic trip. This was the biggest undertaking Brunetto Video Services has attempted and one of the most successful. I shot more than 11 hours of video along with 550 pictures. Each person aboard will receive a fully edited highlight DVD of the trip along with a photo disc that includes all the pictures that were taken aboard. Hearing about the Marines heroic experiences’ serving our country was truly fascinating. These eight Marines and their fellow anglers had an outstanding trip with close to seven tons of fish brought aboard. I believe everyone aboard had a great time along with plenty of fishing. Yelo Red Blue (Magenta (Blackplate) (Cyan (Yellow plate) plate) plate) Brent Koenig of Arizona (putting) was the winner of the putting contest. He received a free twosome of golf at Maderas. Scott Marshall of Escondido and Bill Maher, Jake and Jeb Bakke of Poway, won first place at the tournament. K Go to sdBackyard.com for contest rules. Golfers lined up to participate in the putting competition before the tournament began. The boat was full of fish after the trip. / Photo provided by sdBackyard.com member Sal Brunetto Tell us at: Kanten Russell SOCIAL SERVICES Solana Beach 10 NI Dream Design Builders embraces the BBB slogan of “Start with Trust.” Dream Design Builders is a 2007 Winner of the San Diego BBB Torch Award for marketplace ethics.

The 4th and 5th grade Meadows class capped their fieldtrip at the San Diego Natural History Museum by joining internationally known artist Robert Wyland with his transformation of an original art piece. Studying the importance of water, the class took a field trip to see the Water H20=Life Exhibit. While there, they ran into Wyland. Known mostly for his marine life murals, Wyland’s work is seen on buildings in several continents including the San Diego National Bank building downtown. Friday was the official grand opening of “Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” in Balboa Park. Painting in the lobby, Wyland invited the class to help transform the sphere into a beautifully designed globe. Encouraged by the artist, the children placed their handprints and autographs on the work of art. Engaged in his conversation with the children, Wyland remarked, “What a smart group of children.” Wyland asked Mallika Parlikar to paint the title of the work, “Hands Across the Ocean.” “Since you have all worked with me, you are all artists now!” Wyland said. “This is a life changing experience,” commented David Beck, age 9. Wyland donated a copy of his book “Hold Your Water” to the class and then signed the back of each child’s shirt. “This should help pay for college‚“ he joked. Some of Wyland’s pieces are known to sell for nearly $500,000. The Cool Globes San Diego exhibit in Balboa Park is comprised of 40 globes designed by local, national and international artists. The “Hands Across the Ocean” globe will be on display in the museum lobby for the next three weeks. CMS is one of the first private education school options in Poway and continues to provide a world-renowned quality education-serving children from preschool through 5th grade.

Story and photos provided by sdBackyard.com Community Ambassadors Stephanie Parry and Shelley Bailey SHARE Purple Heart recipients attend long-range fishing trip By Sal Brunetto sdBackyard.com member, Scripps Ranch A Page 3 & 10 s a Scripps Ranch resident and business owner of Brunetto Video Services, I was invited to document a long-range fishing trip to thank our military veterans in October. Eight spots specifically for Purple Heart recipients were reserved for this trip. It was organized by Allen Gross in conjunction with the Purple Heart Fund organization and the United States Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton. Gross told us, “For 10 years, I have been the charter-master for a long-range fishing trip aboard the world’s largest and most luxurious long-range sport-fishing boat, the EXCEL. Each and every trip has been amazing and we look forward to our upcoming trip.” Gross went on, “I am doing something to thank our military veterans for the courageous job they’ve done. I have reserved eight spots on the trip specifically for Purple Heart recipients to join myself and 17 friends and family members.” When organizations and people started hearing about what he was about to do, donations graciously started coming in. Gross contacted Brunetto Video Services to videotape and photograph the trip. I said yes without hesitation. What a great idea, not only to invite wounded veterans, but to also document this historic trip. This was the biggest undertaking Brunetto Video Services has attempted and one of the most successful. I shot more than 11 hours of video along with 550 pictures. Each person aboard will receive a fully edited highlight DVD of the trip along with a photo disc that includes all the pictures that were taken aboard. Hearing about the Marines heroic experiences’ serving our country was truly fascinating. These eight Marines and their fellow anglers had an outstanding trip with close to seven tons of fish brought aboard. I believe everyone aboard had a great time along with plenty of fishing.
