Young career hits a high note

By LOIS ROTHSCHILD For Fountain Valley Living Magazine

pera is serious business, and studying voice take commitment and drive. And Fountain Valley’s Amanda Anderson, who graduates from the Orange County School of the Arts this month, has set her sights for the future on the operatic stage. So it was a thrill for her to sing at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in the 26th annual Music Center Spotlight Competition on April 26. “There were tons of people from all over California,” she said. “It’s this sort of competition with all different 8

categories, with scholarships to the winners. I was up there and it was awesome. John Lithgow was the emcee.” Amanda sang ‘La Petenera,‘ from Spanish composer Torroba’s “La Marchenera,” and won a $4,000 scholarship. She’ll attend USC in the fall and will major in vocal arts. For Amanda, studying at OCSA included more than regular high school curriculum and voice lessons. “Singing is only half of it,” she said. “You gotta get out there and express yourself, use your body, bring in your audience.” At OCSA Amanda studied with the Classical Voice Conservatory, where she participated with Bel Canto Singers in opera scenes and operettas. She has won first-place awards through the National

Association of Teachers of Singing in Los Angeles, the Professional Opera Singers Association and the Rotary International Classical Voice Competition. She also had fun her junior year making a national radio spot for Fantastic Sams. Amanda, 18, started singing at Plavan Elementary, acting and singing in plays, and performed at the Fountain Valley Boys and Girls Club as well. “My range got higher and higher,” she said “Classical singing is a technique. You need a specific voice with much resonance to fill an opera hall. At OCSA we even had classes in diction for various languages.” One of her teachers is Barry Silverman, conductor of the South Coast Symphony. www.FountainValleyMagazine.com

“I’m a lyric soprano,” she said. “A lyric soprano is between a coloratura and a dramatic soprano. Voices change, they mature, become more full.” Her vocal coaches are Mark Salter from Cal State Fullerton, and Elizabeth Heinz at USC. She also credits voice teacher Robin Fullman with her success. Her acting teacher Ryan Reithmeier is from Vanguard University. “Madame Butterfly,” “Tosca,” “Carmen,” and “La Boheme” are in her professional future and Amanda enjoys all of it. “Before you sing, you can’t have beer, sugar, caffeine, soda or food. And no video games or your brain would melt,” she said. “But where else can you get stabbed in the heart, sing a 10-minute aria and another eight minute chorus, a reprise of your aria and then die?”

FV Woman’s Club raises funds for Thomas House The Fountain Valley Woman’s Club raised $1,200 for the Thomas House Family Shelter during a fundraiser April 29 at Stonefire Grill. People dining at Stonefire between 4 and 9:30 p.m. that day saw 15 percent of their tab go to Thomas House. Thomas House Family Shelter provides the resources necessary for homeless families with children to be self-sufficient. The Fountain Valley Woman’s Club has been an active local philanthropic group since the mid-1960s. Kathleen Rockney, the club’s Focus on Health chairperson, created a walking club in 2011 called “The Million Step Project” to encourage long-term daily walking

goals among members. Currently, 19 members (average age of early 60s) are wearing pedometers to track their steps with the goal of walking at least 6,000 steps a day. When done consistently, in six months they will have each walked 1 million steps. This year, the Million Steppers adopted Thomas House Family Shelter as their walking cause. Donations are a critical part of what keeps this organization alive to help others, Rockney said. Persons who are unable to attend the April 29 event were invited to mail in donations to Fountain Valley Woman’s Club, 18030 Brookhurst St., PMB 403, Fountain Valley, CA 92708.

hen twin brothers William and James Gilbert were 11 years old and considering joining Boy Scouts back in 2008, there were several local troops to consider. But they settled on Troop 567 in Fountain Valley. Why? Well, it turns out the older Scouts in Troop 567 enticed them by telling them that they would get to go skydiving if they joined. 14

Fountain Valley Living Magazine

Now juniors at Fountain Valley High School the two brothers were honored April 26 at Boy Scout Troop 567’s Eagle Court of Honor. Friends, family and classmates filled First United Methodist Church of Fountain Valley for the ceremony. Among those on hand to issue certificates to the two Scouts were Mayor Michael Vo and Assemblyman Allan Mansoor. The Gilberts are the sons of Annette and Donald Gilbert. “When I first joined Scouts I didn’t know much about scouting,” James said. “I was just doing it for the camping and hanging out with my friends.” That changed, James said,

when “I saw how much people look up to the older scouts in my troop.” Earning Eagle rank, James said, “symbolizes the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication, and it is something I’ve really enjoyed working up to.” When he’s not doing Scouting, James has been on the FVHS track and cross country teams and been active in student government. For his Eagle project, William decided to do something for Courreges School, which he attended from kindergarten to the fifth grade. William chose to repaint a faded map of the United States which is painted on the ground at the school. “I needed to raise some money for the paint and supplies so I started a letter www.FountainValleyMagazine.com

The project, originally expected to take four days, was completed in three days “due to the hard work of my volunteers and friends,” William said. William collected $153 more than he needed for the project so he donated it to the school to purchase books for the library. On earning Eagle rank, William said: “It’s the most important thing I’ve done in my whole life. “It’s helped me with my communication and leadership skills and helped me mature from a timid 11-yearold to the person I am today.” Like his brother, James has also competed on the track and cross country teams and has also been involved with the Student Senate. He also enjoys skateboarding and photography. James said he was looking for a potential Eagle project that would benefit

homeless people and realized he didn’t have to look far. “I was shocked that some of the students sitting next to me in class could be homeless,” he said.

Keep more tax dollars in your pocket

n tio da un Fo

By ALEX A. ACCETTA

Now that April 15 is behind us, you’ve probably noticed the additional tax bite caused by the increased tax rates and phase-out of certain deductions and exemptions. Let’s not forget the additional surtax of 3.8 percent and 9 percent that was built into the Affordable Care Act. The best way to keep some of these tax dollars in your pocket is to reduce your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). For self-employed individuals, this is generally not too difficult to do. (Call us if you need some advice.) For W-2 wage earners, it’s more difficult, but not impossible. If you are paying for unreimbursed business expenses, consider negotiating with your employer to pay these expenses in lieu of a raise. Even if you are not getting a raise, this strategy would work if you get a pay cut equal to your expenses.

Both you and your employer will pay less in taxes. This strategy is referred to as “an accountable plan.” Expenses can include computers, note pads, cell phones, office supplies, automotive expenses, and meals for the convenience of the employer. These expenses must meet the “reasonable and necessary” provision of IRS Section 162. (We can help you with that, too.) Often times restructuring how the cash flows results in a different tax result. Call us for an appointment to talk with us about an appropriate strategy for you.

Superintendent Ecker announces plans to retire

ountain Valley School District Superintendent Marc Ecker has announced to the school board that he will retire, effective Dec. 31, 2014, concluding 18 ½ years as the district’s superintendent. "I remain today as thrilled and honored to serve the Fountain Valley School District as MARC ECKER its superintendent as I was when first appointed on June 6, 1996,” Ecker said. “I was quoted then that I look forward to giving the school district and the community 150 percent and that is what I will give and more through the final hour of my tenure.” Ecker is currently the longest serving K-12 schools superintendent in Orange County. He began his 42 years of work in education as a teacher, and has served four years as an elementary school principal, eight years as middle school principal, three years as an assistant superintendent of business, and as superintendent. “Our students are consistently the highest performing academically among K-8 districts due to Marc Ecker’s consistent laser focus on what is best for students, on what they need to be successful for their futures,” said FVSD Board President Judith Edwards. “The children and families, 18

and indeed the businesses and all of us in the community who depend upon high quality education, owe a debt to Dr. Ecker.” When asked “why now,” Ecker explained that he and his wife had considered this decision carefully and that family goals and considerations made this the right time for him to retire. “We have lived right here in the community we have served for four decades now, and will continue to be active, supportive members of the Fountain Valley community.”

Three FVSD schools earn ‘Distinguished’ honor

Courreges Elementary School, Gisler Elementary School and Newland Elementary School have earned 2014 California Distinguished School Awards. State Superintendent Tom Torlakson in May announced the list of elementary schools that earned the honors. “The dedication demonstrated by our teachers and principals in preparing students for the rigorous new common core standards is nothing short of miraculous,” FVSD Superintendent Marc Ecker said. “Congratulations to our school communities for supporting the efforts of our professional team.” The Distinguished Schools Program recognizes elementary and secondary schools in alternate years with elementary schools to be recognized in 2014. Newland Elementary was designated a California Distinguished School in 2008 and Oka Elementary won that designation in 2010. www.FountainValleyMagazine.com

Police collect 228 pounds of medications

Fountain Valley Police collected 228 pounds of prescription medication during the National Prescription Drug Take-back Day April 26. Residents were invited to drop off their medications at the police station during the daylong collection. The Drug Enforcement Agency, along with state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States, conducts the take-back day. The purpose of the medications collection is to provide a venue for people to dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs safely and, at the same time, remove potentially dangerous prescription medications, particularly controlled substances, from medicine cabinets, police said. Illegal drugs and needles are not accepted at these venues.

Fountain Valley Regional earns top safety score

Fountain Valley Regional Hospital & Medical Center has received the top grade from one of the nation’s leading patient safety advocacy organizations. The hospital received an “A” in The Leapfrog Group’s Spring 2014 Hospital Safety Score. “We’re proud of our hospital’s recent “A” grade. We believe it recognizes our commitment to providing safe, quality healthcare to our patients,” said B. Joseph Badalian, CEO of FV Regional. The Hospital Safety Score uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” score representing a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm. More than 2,500 U.S. general hospitals were assigned scores in spring 2014, with about 32 percent receiving an “A” grade.

A Fountain Valley GARDEN

DESIGNED FOR friends It's time to see more of the great garden treasures around Fountain Valley. Meet Kim Israelsky, who has created an inviting backyard oasis with plenty of room for friends and family.

Kim and Mike Israelsky’s back yard reflects their joy of entertaining, but also holds special memories. By CURT SEEDEN Fountain Valley Living Magazine

he English garden in Kim Israelsky’s back yard takes up only a small area, but it says a lot about both Kim’s love of gardening and her days growing up in Kansas. The charming garden is 9 feet by 22 feet and is located on the side of the 28

Israelskys’ redesigned back yard. More noticeable are the huge built-in barbecue and bar, the waterfall, the massive outdoor fireplace and the separate pool and spa area. It’s an entertainer’s dream yard. “We’ve chosen all of our (home) projects based on needs,” said Kim, who with husband Mike and sons Austin and Drew, has lived in their home since 1996. “When Austin graduated from high school, we had 91 people here.” “When the boys were little, it was just grass and a clubhouse back here,” she added. After a career at Hughes Aircraft,

Kim has been a stay-at-home mom since 1996 and has been active in her sons’ lives as a room mom and PTA board member. She’s taught Meet the Masters and has been involved in Junior Achievement. Mike is owner of The Summit Team, a Fountain Valley property management company. The Israelskys recently celebrated their 30th anniversary. Mike and Kim graduated from FVHS in 1978, and their sons are FVHS alumni, too. Austin is 23 and Drew is 20. Austin graduated from the University of Oregon, and Drew is attending Cal State Long Beach. www.FountainValleyMagazine.com

Home ABOVE: Kim envisioned creating a quiet garden space for herself. She tucked an English garden, below, in to a previously cemented area on the side of the house. It soon became a favorite spot for prom photos. Outdoor dining, above, works for the Isrealskys and their guests. But Raisa-theTortoise, right, gets his own dining treats in the yard.

Now that she stays at home, Kim’s attention is on her English garden that she created. It includes what she calls her Sleepy Hollow fence, which she was inspired to create after a visit to Washington Irving’s historic home in New York. The fence is made of various branches Kim collected and holds a creeping vine with white flowers. There’s also a potting bench she built and a vintage water pump from her great Aunt Christine’s farm in Kansas, which she actually brought back on a plane. There’s also a birdhouse Kim designed and built. Behind the waterfall are four different kinds of cedar trees “which I had when I was back in Kansas,” Kim said. You’ll also spot Raisa, the family’s 98-year-old tortoise, who has an appetite for watermelon. The English garden is visible from several rooms on the second story of the Israelskys’ home. It’s a connection to Kim’s past and part of her home that especially touches her heart. E-mail: fvmagazine@live.com

ot all estate sales are the result of the death of a loved one. Dave and Lupe Secrest of Pacific Coast Liquidators in Fountain Valley said other life events—such as moving or retirement—can result in an estate sale. Many are choosing to liquidate their assets before they move into a smaller home, a senior community or an assisted living facility. We sat down and chatted with Dave about the fascinating business of estate sales.

An Estate Sale Prımer Estate sales can be filled with usual items like dishes, furniture and gardening tools, or they may mean selling a garage filled with airplane parts and sound equipment, collectible artwork or a mannequin dressed in military gear! The Secrests research the items to determine their value before pricing.

Fountain Valley Living Magazine

Q: What’s the difference between a garage sale and an estate sale? A: The main difference is at a garage sale you’re only selling a few items. We don’t market to garage sale buyers. Q: So in organizing an estate sale, what do you do? A: We plan, inventory, organize, advertise and run your sale. We can also handle all cleanup post estate sale. The premises are left in “broom clean” condition. We can liquidate all personal items, valuables, real estate and sometimes vehicles. Q: What are the client’s upfront costs? A: There are no upfront costs to you. We pay for all advertising, staffing costs, setup and organization, professional research, and signage. We www.FountainValleyMagazine.com

strive to bring the highest return for your personal property. Q: What do you do with anything that is not sold? A: We can assist you after the sale to empty the house and get it ready for sale if necessary. As part of our focus and commitment to complete estate liquidation, our team can make arrangements to donate remaining items to a charitable organization of your choice. Q: What other services do you offer? A: As a licensed real estate broker, I have optional services available if you need help preparing the home for sale or other types of properties including rentals, commercial, office, land and industrial buildings. Q: What are some of the strangest things you’ve sold during your sales? A: Were currently selling a flight simulator. We once had a house full of ceramic molds and kilns. Weve had houses that are full of history. In one house in Fountain Valley, I learned a lot about Japanese internment camps. We’ve learned so much at some of our sales. Q: You’re based in Fountain Valley, but would you deal with my great aunt’s home in Ventura for example? A: Yes, we will travel depending on how big the estate is. Q: How long is a typical sale? A: From start to finish, from setup to end of sale it takes 5 to 8 days. The actual sale usually lasts 2-3 days depending on how big it is. Right now we’re doing three sales at one house because they had so much stuff. We had to do it in phases. But the length of the sale doesn’t affect our percentage.

Guests sat in on a free workshop about growing lavendar, presented by Fountain Valley resident Kathleen Kraisinger, who is a Master Gardener. The talk was presented as part of the annual Friends of the Fountain Valley Library garden sale, held in late April.

Summer gardening tips

Kathleen Kraisinger of Fountain Valley is a member of the Master Gardeners of Orange County who uses her horticulture knowledge to teach throughout Southern California. She gives presentations on a variety of subjects such as warm- and cool-weather vegetables, drought- tolerant plants, edible landscaping and backyard orchards. With summer around the corner, we asked Kathleen to provide readers with some timely gardening tips. ■ If you haven’t added a 2-3-inch layer of mulch in your garden bed you will need to add this month. Mulch will reduce the stress on your plants by causing less fluctuation of the ground temperature as well as holding in the moisture. ■ Adjust your lawn mower up to 2-4 inches, which will enable your grass to 34

hold the water in more efficiently. Never cut off more than one-third inch of the blade at a time. Feed both ool and warm season turf. ■ Consider planting drought-tolerant California natives instead of grass. Drought tolerant plants still need to be watered regularly for the first year until they are established, after which their water needs (and your bill) will greatly reduce. ■ Thin the fruit on the fruit trees to give them enough space to grow larger fruit. Clean up any fallen fruit from around your trees before they rot and spread disease. Water fruit trees well throughout this month. ■ Plant perennials to have repeat blooms year after year. Always read the labels to be sure that you are planting

the “right plant” in the “right place” at the’”right time.” Look at the area where you are going to plant at 2 p.m. to determine if it needs a plant for sun or shade. ■ If you have iris and they are not blooming, they are either growing in too much shade or they need dividing. Iris need dividing every 3-4 years. ■ Keep an eye out for dead or diseased plants and keep your garden clean to reduce your needs for pest management. If you have a horticulture or pest control question, a Master Gardener will be glad to help you. Send an email to hotline@uccemg.com.

McKibben, incidentally, was recently honored in The Orange County Register’s first “Orange County’s High School Artists of the Year” competition, which recognizes the talent, hard work and passion displayed by county high school students in the visual and performing art departments. He heard about the surfboard project from his teacher. “My teacher, Miss Jones, came up to me and said Huntington Beach was looking was looking for one student to represent the entire school district. She said, ‘we really want you to participate, but it’s not up to us—it’s up to you.’” Brad Fernandez, a student at Huntington Beach High, shaped the board McKibben designed. The board is on display at Fuzion— Eat. Meet. Play., a 47,000-square-foot entertainment center in Huntington

Beach that has a sit down restaurant, amusement games, laser tag and special events. Fuzion is owned by Miss Fountain Valley Scholarship Pageant Director Keeli Scott Lisack. Lisack is the daughter of the late former Fountain Valley Mayor and City Councilman George Scott. I’m excited to have the surfboard in our lobby,” Lisack said. The Fountain Valley High PTSA has planned a fundraiser for June 5 here at Fuzion so a lot of parents and kids can come and see Ian’s work.” The fundraiser is set for 4-9 p.m., and Fuzion will donate 20 percent of the proceeds of food and games during that time back to the PTSA. Twenty to 25 surfboards are featured in this collaboration of surfboard shapers and talented artists who have created the unique art. www.FountainValleyMagazine.com

He’s applied to some of the best universities in the country, and has been offered scholarships at some. “I’ll probably study engineering, but I haven’t made up my mind,” he said. “I’m still waiting to hear from some independent colleges.” He’s a serious student, but said high school has been fun. And right now there’s mostly baseball. Daniel learned to throw a ball when he was 4 years old and his parents signed him up for a team when he showed an interest. And he’s been playing ever since.

SUTTON EDWARDS Edwards, 17, will soon be heading across country to enroll at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Ky. on a soccer scholarship. She is recognized as a leader on the high school varsity team, a course set for her when she was 7 years old and kicked a soccer ball for the first time. But Sutton’s story is about more than soccer. It’s also about the courage she has in sticking to a grueling fitness routine, sprinting long and short distances, and lifting weights. And there’s the number of hours she spends studying. “Academics are rigorous at Fountain Valley,” she said. “So I know I’m prepared for college.” Eastern Kentucky sent Sutton a fitness packet so she’ll be ready for soccer when she arrives at the university. She has no concerns about making new friends so far away from home. “There’ll be built-in friends,” she said. “That’s the best thing about soccer, because it’s a team sport. You work hard, you’re determined, and whether you’re winning or losing, it’s rewarding to be on the team.”

Sutton attended “soccer showcase” events, which bring together varsity soccer players from all over the country, giving athletes a chance to show off their skills, team work and sportsmanship. She still remembers looking at the green forests when her plane descend-

The organization raises money for people with physical disabilities so they can be active and participate in athletics and physical fitness. Daniel biked 850 miles and raised funds so people of all ages, some with prosthetics, others in wheelchairs, could train to be athletes. “He’s our best student athlete,” says Chris Sorce, the FVHS pitching coach. “He’s the best academic athlete, with the best personality, that we’ve ever had.”

hoisting the championship belt into the air, absorbing the cheers of our “fans.” But what I’ve come to learn is that the antithesis of societal norms is the actual truth. The most fulfilling feeling you will ever experience is not to have your hands raised in the air, but to be laying flat on the mat, hearing someone else’s music being played, watching their hands be elevated into the air because you did the honors and you put them over. That is leadership. The greatest success you’ll ever experience in life is when you elevate the life of someone else. You become a champion when you learn how to give the belt to others. Life is not about end results, but the story you tell along the way.



The best way to create a dream is to imagine yourself already there. It all started with some construction paper, gold glitter and glue. My little brother Stuart and I had just created our first WWF replica championship belt. We held wrestling matches in our house and the winner got to keep the belt until the next match. Since we shared a room, the “gold” belt made of construction paper stayed in the same spot no matter who was “champion.” But to the competitor inside each of us, it really mattered in our little world who got to say that belt was “theirs.” Most people never grow out of the childhood ego of conquering someone else. Don’t be like most people. The only person you need to conquer is the person you used to be. Every Monday night and every Saturday morning you could find my brother and me in front of the television mesmerized by professional wrestling. My dad could be heard in the background laughing when some outrageous moment would go down, always goading us to rage when he would quip, “You know this is fake, right?” Yet to us, it was the greatest reality. Professional wrestling is storytelling. The “winner” of the match is decided beforehand by Vince McMahon, but the two superstars work together during the match to tell a story that inspires an

audience. It’s not about who wins, but who draws. Art is about your audience. Professional wrestling gives us a great metaphor on how to be a champion in life. In the business, “doing the honors” for someone means the current champion is going to drop the belt and let someone else become champion. Their job is to “put them over” which means to make the other guy look really good and let them have a clean pin of 1, 2, 3. As I think back to all the matches I had with my brother, I realized that I don’t really remember any of the matches that I “won.” What has stayed with me are the times I did “the honors” for my brother and “put him over” for our crowd of three or four neighborhood kids and saw the joy that was put on his face. In adolescence we think the ultimate dream is to be the one standing in the middle of the ring with our hands

his year, the Green Valley Swim Team began its 40th season of providing Fountain Valley children a place to swim, compete and have fun. And the 40th year started with a record number of participants.

The Dolphins are 270 members strong and looking to return to the level of one of its most successful seasons in its history. Last year in the Southern California Swim Conference (SCSC), the Dolphins were dual meet and league champions. The 2014 meet schedule began on May 17 and the Dolphins were scheduled to host their second meet on May 31. But when another team comes to Green Valley, there is little doubt that a swim meet is taking place. The two teams set up sunshades that turn the Green Valley Park into what is referred to as “tent city.” Meets begin at 9 a.m. and usually go until about 5 p.m. with hundreds of kids, ages 5-18, rotating though division heats in the freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breast stroke. “It’s pretty exciting. It’s like an actual road show, an organized chaos road show,” said parent and swim team board member Cori Woloshun. Green Valley began as a neighborhood swim team that provided instruction and competition for local children. As other neighborhoods began forming teams, the SCSC was formed to allow teams to compete. The conference currently has seven teams including nearby Greenbrook, Harbor View and Newport Hills. The team has a new head coach this year. Longtime coach Vladimir Sapozhkov recently retired to coach club swimming full time. So the job was handed to former Green Valley swimmer and assistant coach Kevin Miller. Miller interviewed with the hiring committee and won the opportunity to lead the program. “He stood out because he had a really strong work ethic and a really good vision,” Woloshun said. The league finals have grown to the point where none of the local pools are big enough, and the SCSC uses the pool at Corona del Mar High. They pack the swim stadium to the rafters.

fun. They practice five days a week, but Fridays are referred to as “fun Fridays.” Friday practices are followed by pool games, treasure hunts and a treasure chest that allows each child to pick out a trinket from the chest. Miller said the kids understand that they are going to work hard in practice, so they try to offset that when it comes to letting them have some fun. Woloshun has become known as the treasure chest lady. She said she borrowed the idea from the toy chest at dentist offices. She said she figured if they could do it, why not the swim team. “It’s a good, warm fuzzy. The kids love it,” Woloshun said. But as the team heads into a new season, it is likely to have a target on its back. Having gone undefeated in SCSC competition last year, the Dolphins are working hard to repeat that success. Miller said the team is rising to the challenge of new coaching and pressure to defend its title. E-mail: fvmagazine@live.com

Pastor John McFarland has a new assignment—in Fullerton

Meet John McFarland Fountain Valley, Calif. 92708

WHO: John has been the lead pastor at Fountain Valley United Methodist Church on Bushard Street for the past 26 years. He is also a police chaplain with the Fountain Valley Police Department. WHAT: McFarland has been appointed as senior lead pastor of Orangethorpe Avenue United Methodist Church in Fullerton and will begin his duties on July 1. WHY: Methodist pastors are appointed to churches for one year at a time. “I’ve had 26 appointments to Fountain Valley,” McFarland said. He has also served as lead pastor of Surf City Church in Huntington Beach for the past five years. OF INTEREST: McFarland was a youth pastor in Encinitas for seven years and then was a pastor at a dying church in Calexico that he revived. When he came to Fountain Valley there were only 60 people. QUOTE: “Orangethorpe is another struggling congregation. It has a Spanish language service and an English service. I will be preaching in English and Spanish every Sunday. People ask, ‘Why would you go to a church like that?’ My answer is ‘Why does a fireman go to a fire?’” I can bring life there. “It’s exciting to see people reclaim the vision of their ministry. The mission of a church that goes from 200 to 50 is survival. I get to go and reclarify this church’s mission, which is to take the gospel to all nations. And it’s a privilege to bring people together and recapture the vision of ministry.” NOTEWORTHY: McFarland and his wife Kathleen have five children. They will be moving to Fullerton, but McFarland said he would like to remain as a chaplain for the Fountain Valley Police Department. “I’m only 12 miles away and would be honored to remain on call for the chaplaincy here,” he added.
