Never forget the vets

FountaınValleyLıvıng®

did you know that former Fountain valley Mayors John Collins, guy Carrozzo and Larry Crandall are all members of the veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9557?

The VFW is a proud organization of men who went off to fight wars on foreign soils. Today, we take a closer look at vFW Post 9557, which because of a consolidation has added members from other nearby posts in huntington beach and Westminster.

vFW members and the vFW Ladies auxiliary collectively give more than $60 million to help veterans, active duty military and their families.

July is a month to savor our freedom by flying our flags proud and celebrating our independence. next time you see a member of our military, whether he or she is serving our country now or is a proud veteran who fought to protect our freedom, stop and say thank you. Pictured with the three former mayors is vFW Quarter-master bob Chermak, left, who has been a backbone of the Post.

t is estimated that we lose 700 World War ii veterans

every day in this country. numbers like that make it clear that veterans of Foreign Wars posts around the country are losing members at a record pace.

after a year of discussions, the four vFW posts in this area—9557 in Fountain valley, 1148 and 1149 in huntington beach and 9756 in Westminster—have merged into one post.

“The Fountain valley post had the oldest charter, therefore the new post assumed Fountain valley’s 9557 post number,” explained former mayor and city councilman Larry Crandall, a member of the post.

Crandall has good local company in the post. Former mayors and longtime council members John Collins and guy Carrozzo are also among the active members of the new post, which is now looking to re-energize since the consolidation.

“if we can get some of the iraq and afghanistan vets to get involved, that would be great. by joining the post, besides camaraderie, they can get va, health, and educational benefits. We have the resources to make their lives easier as they transition to civilian life,” added Crandall, who is the senior vice commander of the post.

The vFW post and its Ladies auxiliary (see page 6) also lobby in Washington, d.C. for vets and military families, raises funds for hospitals, va medical centers and supports the vFW national home for Children. They also assist active duty, national

vFW Post 9557 meets at 7 p.m.

the third Thursday of each month at the Westminster elks Lodge near the Westminster Mall. For more information, call Larry Crandall at (714) 709-3878.

Guy Carrozzo, while serving in the U.S. Air Force attained the rank of sergeant. He received medals for Korean service, United Nations, National Defense, Good Conduct and Sharp Shooter. Carrozzo served from 1951-1955 and was stationed on Okinawa. Guy said he was scheduled to go to Korea five times, but each time the plans were interrupted for various reasons.

Bob Chermak served three years, 1951-54 in the U.S. Marine Corps and served in Korea. He attained the rank of corporal. He

was with the First Marine Division, First Marine Regiment, First Marine Battalion. In the battalion he was assigned to the Headquarters and Service Company and was a field radio operator.

He was assigned to a tactical air control party. He has medals for Korean Service with three stars as well as the United Nations, National Defense Service and Good Conduct.

Larry Crandall served in the U.S. Air Force from 1970 to 1974 and was stationed in Thailand and Florida. He was in the communications field and attained the rank of staff sergeant. He was already a pilot when

he entered the Air Force, but he wasn’t allowed to fly in the Air Force because he didn’t have his degree. He earned the Vietnam Service Medal and medals for marksmanship and good conduct, among others, and his unit received the Presidential Citation for Outstanding Valor.

hanks to Laura Chermak there is a Ladies auxiliary of the veterans of Foreign Wars in Fountain valley.

The wife of vFW member bob Chermak, Laura played a key role in the auxiliary’s birth and development.

“i was attending post hospital visits for four years before i was an auxiliary member,” she said. “The auxiliary was instituted in March 1999 and i have been hospital chairman since then.”

Female relatives of those who have served overseas make up the vFW Ladies auxiliary. They have the same bond that veterans have and they all had loved ones who had left their home to fight for freedom on foreign soil.

Laura has served the vFW auxiliary on a number of levels. She served as the auxiliary level as the treasurer for three years and is now in her sixth year as auxiliary president.

as auxiliary president, she writes program reports, works with the vFW post on planning and organizing the Memorial day and veterans day programs and volunteers with “buddy Poppy” distribution, the vFW’s major fundraising effort.

Laura has also served on the vFW district and national levels and as chairman of dozens of committees.

She worked her way up to district president in 2003-2004 and again in 2009-2010.

She currently serves the vFW district as deputy chief of staff, flag bearer and veterans & Family Support chairman.

her list of accomplishments and contributions to the vFW auxiliary is impressive.

Laura also coordinates the vFW “Patriot’s Pen” essay contest, which is open to sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students and features national cash prizes. The essay contest gives students an opportunity to write essays expressing their views on democracy.

This year’s theme is “What Patriotism Means to Me.”

deadline to enter is nov. 1. To learn more about the contest, call bob or Laura Chermak at (714) 968-3104.

D Sister act

FVHS student organizes fundraising choral concert to help find cure for her sister.

By LOIS ROTHSCHILDFor Fountain Valley Living Magazine

eLaney Sheppard, 13, and a student at Fulton Middle School, is an athlete. She plays softball for the

Firecrackers Softball League but loves volleyball, basketball and soccer as well.

her older sister, MacKenzie, says deLaney has overcome what might have been a serious disability and continues to participate in local sports with a determination that takes a real focus.

“She’s my younger sister, but she’s my role model,” MacKenzie says. For that reason, and to bring attention to deLaney’s ankylosing spondylitis, she organized and held a recent fund-raising event to raise money for a cure.

The disease, an auto-immune disorder, causes excruciating back and

joint pain and can be debilitating. in September 2012 doctors diagnosed the condition after the 13-year-old had recovered from a serious bout of strep throat, but couldn’t get out of bed.

“My sister is athletic, strong, focused and still playing sports,” MacKenzie says. “She hates sitting out a game, and always wants to play. The disease varies in severity, but being active helps keep the pain away.”

MacKenzie, 17, will be a senior at Fountain valley high School in September, and deLaney’s twin sister JacLynn will be in eighth grade at Fulton with deLaney.

For three years MacKenzie has been a member of the FvhS choir, and when her english teacher, Sean Ziebarth, assigned students do-it-yourself projects

to benefit the community, MacKenzie knew what she wanted to do.

on May 29, at Shoreline Church, a crowd of 400 attended and enjoyed a choral concert with deLaney’s favorite music, and raised nearly $5,000 for the Spondylitis association of america.

The “Songs for Sisters” concert was a

showcase of music by the Sheppard family, relatives and friends. MacKenzie enlisted help from her classmates from the high school choir, whose members helped come up with the songs to perform that night. and MacKenzie wrote the arrangements— a learning experience for her.

The quartet she sings with, “The Pitchers,” also performed. The kickoff to the performance was “Lean on Me” and “For the Longest Time,” and when MacKenzie spoke to the crowd about her sister’s bravery, there were many tears, especially when deLaney ran on stage

for an emotional hug.“MacKenzie is the type of student

every teacher dreams of having,” her FvhS choir director, Kevin Tison, said. “ She consistently pushes herself to grow daily as an outstanding musician and also a confident and competent leader. When i attended her concert, i wasn't necessarily surprised at the success of the concert as much as i was just happy and satisfied to see how beautifully she orchestrated the entire event, and with such an incredible purpose. it was a special night, and one that i was proud to be part of.”

The Sheppards have lived in Fountain valley for decades. MacKenzie’s father, Matthew, 47, also went to Fountain valley high School and is a lieutenant with the Fountain valley Police department. her mom, denise, is a home health care nurse.

“i had a blast. it was fun but stressful,” MacKenzie says.

“The concert proved that i want to do something that matters. it’s been a rough but worthwhile journey.”

Pitching a thoughtFountain Valley resident Bruce Crawford had this observation and

question in a Facebook post:

"Congrats!" to homie Chris Tillman, who registered his sixth win today for the Orioles, and against one of best pitchers in

majors, Matt Moore. Tillman is one of three pitchers from our high school (Fountain Valley) in majors.

Others are Casey Janssen, closer for Blue Jays who has an impressive 12 saves for a struggling team; and C.J. Wilson, starter for Angels.

How many high schools can claim three pitchers in majors active at same time?

Well, we posed that question to Matthew Gould, vice president of corporate communications for Major

League Baseball. Here’s his response:“There are several high schools that have produced three

MLB players (those on 40-man rosters and/or the 60-day Disabled List), and a few with four players,” Gould told us. He added, “ However, if you narrow only to 25-man active roster players, Fountain Valley is one of only two, along with Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks.”

Next Cash Mob is Saturday, July 6 at Pet Supply

The city’s Shop 92708 Program will stage its next “cash mob” on Saturday, July 6 at Pet Supply, 18545 brookhurst St., next to albertsons in the Callens Corner shopping center.

a cash mob is an event in which a large group of people descends on a single independent store in a coordinated strike to give the local economy a little boost. Cash mobs have been popping up all over the U.S. in small and large towns.

Those taking part in the mob are asked to bring about $20 to spend at that shop. if 50 people show up to "mob" the store, the small-business owner and the local economy benefits.

Pet Supply sells a variety of dog and cat supplies, as well as needs for whatever type of pet you own. you can find beds, toys, crates, feeding systems,

containment systems, and hundreds of other pet products.

after shopping, cash mobbers typically gather nearby for an optional lunch. The shopping center has several restaurants, including

FountaınValleyLıvıng®

islands, First Class Pizza, Philly’s Best and Stonefire Grill, among others.

For more information about the Cash Mob, go to www.facebook.com/Shop92708 or call (714) 847-7714.

Residents attend a Cash Mob, which is a grassroots shopping spree at one local store to give a small boost to a Fountain Valley shop. Each person brings $20 to spend.

ext time you see an able-bodied person park in a handicapped parking

space, with no sign of the blue placard hanging from the rear view mirror and no disabled license plate, there’s something you can do.

Phil nisco, a volunteer with Fountain valley’s advisory Committee for the disabled, suggests you take a photo of the vehicle with the blue handicapped parking sign in the background. email it or call the Fountain valley Police department and report the incident. “violators must be penalized,” nisco says.

nisco and other committee members get results because they

take their jobs seriously. you can even thank them for the curb cuts you see throughout most of the city, making it easier for wheelchairs and those with canes or walkers to cross streets.

“our committee members have learned about people’s need to walk and exercise so we want to make access to that easier,” nisco says. “a recent suggestion was to install an audible crosswalk at the intersections of Ward and Slater, and Ward and Talbert.”

every other month the committee holds dances for developmentally disabled of all ages at the Senior Center. and every year there are awards for individuals and businesses who are the friendliest to the handicapped and who ensure

easy access to businesses and other facilities.

Committee members have set up guidelines for Fountain valley’s recreational programs with information about equipment catering to special needs activities with the goal of presenting an example to the community of the importance of programs for those with different levels of abilities.

The advisory Committee for the disabled holds meetings on alternate months, with speakers from the Fountain valley Police and Fire departments and others.

“We’re interested in jobs for people (with disabilities),” nisco says. “They’re proud to be working. The disabled are qualified Americans, too.”

volunteering isn’t new to nisco. born and raised on the north side

of boston, he and his family moved to Fountain valley’s green valley neighborhood in 1971.

he taught at Cal State Los angeles with students who studied health and safety, exposing them to human resources, corporate health care and research.

he’d worked with the national institutes of health and helped pass regulations that required physicians to log the way they spend grant money. When he retired he joined the advisory Committee for the disabled because he knew he’d be a good fit.

For 10 years nisco volunteered as a California Certified Ombudsman as an advocate for patients at semi-acute skilled nursing facilities, assisted living homes and retirement facilities. he was a hospice volunteer through St. Joseph’s in orange, and has been a facilitator for support groups.

“i’ve given seminars on human resources and have been a consultant for technical and behavioral human

resource issues,” he adds. “i set up a foundation when my

first wife, Norma, died,” he says. “now there’s an endowment in her name at golden West College’s new department of health Services.”

but it’s not enough for nisco to serve the city he loves. he sees needs far beyond Fountain valley’s borders. he has funded two orphanages on a ranch site near Tijuana, where some of the kids have developmental problems. he and his present wife Trudy visit there when they can, looking over the study labs, sleeping rooms, the chapel and social rooms for recreation and use of computers.

Nominations open for disability-friendly business awards

The city’s advisory Committee for the disabled is accepting nominations for its annual disability Friendly business award.

Bonnie Rice has cast her creative spell over her family's tract home of 46 years,

reflecting her love for beauty.

living by designBonnie Rice’s breathtaking home and yards spring from her creative soul.

PEARLS OF WISDOM: One of Bonnie Rice's loves—besides that of her late husband and her family—is pearls. Because of her husband's military career, Bonnie and their children lived in many places around the world. Over the years, she discovered a knack for buying high quality pearls abroad and reselling them as beautiful designs, creating a retail and speaking career for herself.

talking about ed. Sit and chat with her, and you'll feel bonnie has created an eden that reflects what is in her heart.

The home and yards are all bonnie’s designs. inside, all the windows are beveled glass, a magnificent handbuilt fireplace mantle commands the family room, and handpainted artwork adorns every wall. The entire dining room wall is glass revealing a lush green side yard.

don't get her wrong. While she loves beauty, she's a bargain shopper and quite the businesswoman. She is long retired from a career of selling and teaching about cultured pearls.

“i had taken a job as a salesperson at Magnus and they put me in the jewelry department,” she recalled. “i came home with some pearls from the orient.”

That prompted her interest in pearls and soon she was selling them.

Today bonnie stays strong because of her faith and passion for helping others.

bonnie’s seven children still live nearby and are the biggest part of her life. her grandson, Kevin Rice, incidentally, is a well-known fashion model.

Today, bonnie’s mobility may be limited but her spirit is active. “i have a must-do list,” she says. “I want to finish my memoirs. and i just want peace.”

hen bonnie Rice and her husband ed moved to

Fountain valley 46 years ago, it concluded a period in which the couple had moved 19 times over 25 years.

ed was a career army colonel and at one time served in Korea as advisor to the minister of national defense. but raising seven children and sending them all to college required a higher-paying job. So ed became an engineer at Mcdonnell douglas in Long beach.

That brought them to Fountain valley where they bought their 2,400-square-foot house for about $40,000.

The culture shock was hard for bon-nie, a former model who lived a life that comes with being married to a high-rank-ing military husband.

“When i came here, i had to get used to shorts and no gloves,” she recalls.

ed is gone now, but bonnie, who will soon turn 90, is still deeply in love with her husband, whom she met when she was 16. Just ask her ... her eyes light up

“a garden has a life of its own, an intricate, willful, secret life, as any gardener knows. it is only the humans in it who think of it as a garden. But a garden is a relationship, which is one of the countless reasons why

it is never finished.” W.S. MeRWiN

REMODELFORKEEPS

SPonSoRED FEATuRED By SUSAN SAURASTRIStar Real Estate

ne of the many benefits of living, working and playing in Fountain valley is that i get to mingle with the friendly residents. Folks

invite me into their homes and solicit my opinion on decor and upgrades.

it's common for homeowners to put their signatures on a place. The decor should reflect the personalities of the occupants. That's what helps make a house a home.

Photos by JERRY MILLER / [email protected]

Oone of the questions i'm asked most

often is what renovations should we do to prepare our house to sell and how much value will it add. if you expect to obtain dollar for dollar return on your investment when you sell, you will be disappointed.

Kitchens and bath remodels will always provide the biggest bang for your buck but why not do the upgrades in the years prior to selling so you can benefit from the fruits of your labor?

These are some suggestions that will enhance the aesthetics and add value to your home:

■ Scrape the ceilings.

Thinking of renovating? No need to wait until you sell: Enjoy it now.

Realtor Susan Saurastri of

Star Real Estate says most

homeowners only renovate

in order to sell their homes.

"Why wait and only remodel for

someone else to enjoy? Why not

do it now so you can enjoy it?"

Jack and Audrey Murphy, longtime Fountain Valley residents, decided to renovate their home top-to-bottom. They're not looking to sell any time soon, but rather to enjoy their newly updated house. Kitchen renovations, if done well, can give you the best return on your renovation dollar. There are several projects that can re-invent your kitchen without breaking the bank, including replacing the original countertops, adding recessed lighting , and, of course, adding a fresh coat of paint. The average cost of a major kitchen remodel is nearly $54,000. The average cost of a minor kitchen remodel is about $18,500. Realtor Susan Saurastri says that kitchen renovations bring the most value to a home, dollarwise.

■ Add a tray ceiling with some recessed lights (approximately $1,200-$1,500).

■ Consider crown mouldings and 3- to 4-inch baseboards.

■ Replace the original countertops with Corian, quartz or granite.

■ Apply fresh paint throughout. I always recommend dunn edwards nomadic Taupe with bright white trim. you can put any color accessories with this warm, neutral color.

■ Multiple options in flooring exist today. hardwood, concrete and travertine tile are just a few of the choices available.

■ Bead-boarding, chair rails or wainscoting add dimension, charm and style.

■ Any homeowner can tell you there will always be budget-busting renovations that you can incorporate to increase the value of your home. Stay within your budget and don't over improve for your neighborhood.

■ Don't take on too many projects at the same time.

t was just about the end of a successful weekend garage sale, and Fountain valley resident

Juanita Stark was starting to close up shop.

an elderly woman and her older son stopped to look at a few things. after they left, Stark realized her fanny pack containing $300 was gone.

Stark believes the woman took her fanny pack when her son distracted her. She reported the incident to Fountain valley Police and she also called Fountain Valley Living Magazine and suggested we offer some safety tips the next time you have a garage sale.

We’re happy to oblige. These tips are recommended by

ParentingSquad.com, an online community of parents, experts and authors, which offers a variety of opinions and views.

1. Team up. have a multi-family garage sale, or a neighborhood garage sale.

2. Keep a watch. do not go inside and leave merchandise unattended. Someone should be at or near the checkout table at all times, with another person walking around, straightening items and talking to shoppers.

3. Greet everyone who walks up. Make sure they know you have seen them.

4. Keep just enough cash on hand to make change. Put extra money in the house.

5. Keep larger, higher-priced items near the garage.

6. Do not accept large bills.7. Keep cash you have been given

laying out while you make change. This will keep con artists from trying to

Having a garage sale? Make safety a prioritytell you they gave you a larger bill then they actually did.

8. Keep your cell phone or home phone close by.

9. Do not let strangers come in your house for any reason. if someone needs to use the restroom, direct them to the nearest gas station or grocery store.

10. Make sure the neighbors are aware of your sale—the dates and times.

11. Keep the sale in plain sight. Set items outside the garage and on out toward the sidewalk or street.

12. Keep the front door to the house locked, as well as the door from the garage — and make sure you have the key.

13. Post a sign with your rules. Only cash accepted, all sales are final, for instance.

14. Remember that your safety is more important than your stuff. if you feel frightened because of someone at your sale, or are threatened in any way, do what is needed to keep you and your family safety.

Think about how you invest your time

Busi

FountaınValleyLıvıng®

STEVE SCHULTz

Two of the most important decisions you can make are:

1. With whom you choose to spend your time

2. how you choose to spend your time.

There's a saying in the watch game, "Rolex doesn't sell time, Rolex sells status." how you choose to invest your daily 86,400 will determine the status of your life. you can use your time to make more money or you can make more time for what truly matters most: letting people know they’re loved.

Love allows those who have passed on to carry on. They carry on in you through the love they gave away, and you can carry on, too, through the love you give away.

not only do i admire the craftsmanship and the precision in the design that makes a timepiece worthy

IBy STEVE SCHULTZFountain Valley Living Magazine

f you know me, you know i like watches. i wear a different one every day.

The first watch I ever had was given to me by my grandpa and grandma. i recently found that watch and began thinking about time. The cliché is “time is money,” but the truth is, time is the most valuable gift you have.

answer this: if every day a bank gave you $86,400 but said whatever you didn’t use you had to return, would you spend all of it? how would you spend it? Would you help others or help yourself? Would you invest it wisely or waste it?

every day, the bank of Time gives you 86,400 seconds to use at your will. Whatever you don’t use is gone forever.

to wear, but I have an affinity for what a watch really holds -- a constant

reminder of our greatest gift and how to keep it.

The remarkable thing is the watch my grandpa and grandma gave me more than two decades ago still keeps time and i’m

still keeping all the love they gave me. They invested their time wisely.

The team is coached by hank Schellingerhout and Steve Merickel.

“i have coached many of these girls since they were 5 years old and so we couldn’t think of a more fitting way for these girls to wrap up their

aySo careers than with this trip,” said Coach Steve Merickel. “For most of these girls, this will be their last hurrah in aySo soccer as they will be

heading off to college in the fall.“it was a lot of hard work

fundraising for this all year, but well worth it,” Merickel added.

WHO: The Crisafullis moved to Fountain Valley in 1977 and are longtime members of Holy Spirit Catholic Church.

WHAT: They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Saturday, June 15 with a gathering of nearly 100 family members and friends at Mile Square Golf Club. The party was planned and staged completely by their grown daughters.

OF INTEREST: Steve and Rosemary have volunteered around the community and at church for years. Rosemary served on the original Summerfest committee. Rosemary is also a member of the “Farklettes,” a group of ladies who serve in the bereavement ministry at Holy Spirit, and then go to Izzy’s Bagels to play Farkle each week. The Crisafullis’ two daughters, Susan and Deborah, planned and organized the 50th anniversary party, even though one lives in Northern California and the other lives in Virginia.
