Hi, my name is Deborah Cagney and I’m the PTA President for Alpine Elementary School. We will be having our annual Luau on May 31st from 4-7 p.m. We would love for the whole community to be able to come enjoy the food and games for this event. I have some concern over the parking situation. We had our open house and art show last night and unfortunately some parents had their cars towed due to not enough parking for our school. So, I’m reaching out to the community to give me some ideas on where I can tell the families and parents to park for our event where their cars will not get towed away. We have very limited parking at the school. This Luau is a fundraiser for the school. Considering our children are our future and school funding is in crisis I would hope that our Alpine community could come together and help with the parking situation. Thanks so much.

Just a good reminder for parents of new drivers….
As the school year winds down, teens are looking forward to summer. As they prepare for proms, graduations, vacations and road trips; it’s important to keep safety in mind.
Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in America. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also finds the deadliest days of the year for teenagers are in the summer months of May, June, July and August. During these four months, nearly twice as many teens die on the roads each day compared to the rest of the year. That’s why National Youth Traffic Safety Month is so important.
A teenager might say: “I know everything,” but parents still play a critical role. If you have a teenager who is now starting to drive, we urge you to take a Sheriff’s Start Smart class with your son or daughter. Since June 2010, free Start Smart classes have been regularly offered to new drivers and their parents/guardians so they clearly understand their responsibilities when a teen starts to drive. The class also clarifies the restrictions of a provisional license and social host rules in the county. Participants also hear from people who have lost loved ones in drunk driving crashes.
Parents/guardians, be reminded that if your teenager has a PROVISIONAL LICENSE, he or she cannot carry a passenger unless you or someone else who is 25years of age is in the car.

Dear Friends and Family,
The young men in the photo above were members of Alpine View Lodge’s team in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. These young boys raised funds and participated in Walk to End Alzheimer’s in 2012 and helped our team raise over $15,000.00. Our team is committed to once again making a difference and I need your support. Together, we can become an unstoppable force against this devastating disease. You can help in two ways:
 1. Join me in the fight against Alzheimer’s by walking with our team from the Alpine View Lodge – the Alpiners.
2. Help me reach our goal by making a donation to our fundraising page.
I hope to make a big contribution in the fight against Alzheimer’s by raising at least $5,000. as an individual and over $15,000.00 with team Alpiners. I would be so grateful if you join our team or sponsor me. Your support of Walk to End Alzheimer’s will help the Alzheimer’s Association to enhance Alzheimer’s care and support and advance critical research for all those affected by this devastating disease.
Together, we can reclaim the future for millions. Please visit my fundraising homepage at www.sanalz.org to sign up or to donate today. Our team’s name is Alpiners. Join our team or make a donation. You can register with our team on line and then just ask ten people you know for a twenty dollar contribution to support your passion about creating a world without Alzheimers. It’s so easy. People want to make a difference. Together we can find the way to a cure and till that cure is found, we can support those battling this disease.
The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is to be held Saturday, October 19th starting at 8:00 AM at Presidents Way in Balboa Park. Registration begins at 7:00 AM. Once again our team will be one of the biggest contributors. We have close to $1,000.00 already contributed! I know I am not alone is dreaming of a world without Alzheimer’s disease. Thanks for your support!

Hi all,
A resident of Ramona, Kathleen Hayden, has been trying to save a small band of native San Diego Mustangs. They were illegally removed by the BLM several years ago from the coyote canyon area and were dumped in Utah. She has brought 4 stallions and a few mares back to San Diego and she keeps them on a pasture area in Ramona. it is her goal to eventually have them returned to the wild. they are not tame mustangs. she has no intention of adopting them out or taming them. a few babies have been born and she hopes to increase the numbers. she has started a non-profit organization for them and has tirelessly tried to promote her cause. she has made presentations at horse groups across the county throughout the years.
Now the county is pulling the rug out from under her in a new way. They are purchasing the land the horses are on so the horses have to vacate. every turn she makes, the county has been doing this to her. her only option to keep the horses as they are during this foaling season is to get the pasture incorporated into the neighboring grassland preserve. she is in need of signatures and letters sent to Diane Jacobs. she is starting to feel defeated and deflated.
I hope that clubs, organizations & individuals can support her by signing the following form letter. Just cut & paste the following letter and send it either via email or snail mail. It should only take you a couple of minutes. I know she would appreciate a little rally from the troops on this latest battle.
thanks all,
Dyan Paquette – alpine resident

Dear Supervisor Jacob:
( I, our group, business… is / are) thrilled with the Ramona presence of our Heritage Herd mares and first Coyote Canyon foals since 2003. ( I, we ) request that the County allows them to remain on the Highland Valley pasture.
We love the proposed addition of the pasture to the Grassland Preserve while supporting the County’s MSCP and Historic preservation commitments.
We believe this is a vital, viable and emergency interim measure in coordination with BLM’s partnership to restore the herd to former ranges on Beauty Mountain above Coyote Canyon. This is at no cost to the taxpayer as CCCd’A Inc, a 501c3 non-profit has been paying for feed, pasture rent, insurance and water.
Please assure us that you will support this great endeavor for us now and our heirs to come.
Sincerely,

5-21-13 An Alpine History Mystery – Do you know the Answer?
Our mystery man was born in Indiana 124 years ago into the family of a famous American painter. The arts seemed to run in the family. His brother John was a famous writer and creator of popular children’s toys that are still enjoyed today. The subject of this mystery was also a writer as well as an artist. One of his early literary works is well known in Alpine. His illustrations have been published world-wide in children’s books, but he is also recognized for his watercolors and oil paintings of murals, landscapes, individual portraits and vintage aircraft. In fact, he was commissioned to paint several murals for the Works Progress Administration and from 1936 to 1939 painted several murals that were exhibited at the New York World’s Fair. Later he was commissioned to create the “Early Birds” mural which was on display for several years at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.
Our mystery man moved to Alpine in 1955 with his wife, Mabel. He had a studio in their home on Lilac Lane. It is there that he created 14 nearly life size paintings depicting the Stations of the Cross for the Queen of Angels Church in Alpine.
Perhaps you know this man – this writer, painter, and illustrator of books, cartoons and covers for sheet music. His name, artifacts from his studio and examples of his work can be found at the Alpine History Museum. Come visit to learn more about him at our next museum open house on May 25 & 26, or at the Alpine History Day on June 1. If you can’t join us then, watch for our article next month when we will give you his name and present you with a new Alpine History Mystery.

Goodwill gets a ‘green’ welcome from CHIRP, By Maureen Austin
While Goodwill workers were busy in their “new digs,” getting ready for their May 23 grand opening, CHIRP volunteers busied themselves digging outside the building–planting, beautifying and creating an invitation for both shoppers and area winged wildlife.
Plants chosen for the project include a variety of California, Mediterranean and Australian natives, along with hardy succulents, each with its own merit in supporting local hummingbirds, songbirds and butterflies.
Kicking-off the new garden project was a generous donation by Hydro-Scape, which provided ten yards of topsoil, delivered to the site.
Vanessa Rusczyk, lead volunteer on the project, said that the topsoil “made all the difference in being able to create a showplace garden.”
 
Other volunteers who worked on the project include Lisa Lomax, Maureen Austin, Rod Tuttle, Guille Tuttle, Diana Anderson, Marilyn Fox and Michael Varbaek.
Over 125 plants were installed in the new garden, including sages, aloes, cistus, ceanothus, arbutus and grevillea. The plants were purchased by CHIRP, with funds provided through fundraising and private donations.
Also donated was flagstone for a walking path through the garden, so it can be enjoyed from a closer vantage point, Rusczyk said.
Pea gravel and mulch added the finishing touches to the garden.
The new Goodwill Store is on property leased by Alpine Community Center. Sue Roff, the Center’s executive director, said she is very pleased with the new garden.“It’s beautiful!” she said, “And it has really enhanced our property.” Roff said she is thankful to the donors and volunteers who made it possible.
The new garden is part of “Gardens on the Boulevard,” a project of CHIRP for Garden Wildlife, Inc., an Alpine-based not-for-profit organization. Project goal is to beautify Alpine Boulevard by creating beautiful gardens in the dirt plots left as a result of SDG&E’s Sunrise Powerlink project.
CHIRP is dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of birds, butterflies, and other creatures of habitat, through hands-on and interactive programs and gardens.
For more information on “Gardens on the Boulevard,” contact CHIRP at 619-445-8352.
