throat,” mom Allison said. “He was trying to swallow it or catch his breath. I was asleep on the sofa.” Allison Westrup said Luke performed the Heimlich maneuver on Logan. “Three thrusts to the abdomen and the Boudin Sourdough chip came shooting out,” Allison said. Logan was able to then resume normal breathing. Sister Samantha was also in the room and witnessed the near tragedy. “I jumped up and yelled for my dad but Luke was already doing the Heimlich on Logan,” she said. “Then the sourdough crisp flew out his mouth . . . and then the dog ate it --- ewww!” Through Boy Scouts, Luke practiced

first aid regularly and had also earned his first aid Eagle Scout badge. As a Life Scout he also had to complete other first aid requirements. National awards for lifesaving and meritorious action are given for outstanding and unusual acts that demonstrate unusual heroism, skill, or bravery and reflect Scouting ideals. Luke was honored Sept. 12 at The Fount Church in Fountain Valley. ABOUT TROOP 567 Troop 567 meets at The Fount Church in Fountain Valley. The troop membership consists of families from Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Westminster, Orange and Santa Ana, representing a variety of religious affiliations and schools.

TROUBADOURS SALUTE As a father/father-in-law of three former Troubadours (from long ago!), it gave me great joy to read in the September edition about the Troubadours’ outstanding achievements. Kudos to Kevin Tison who has built upon the great successes of his predecessors. Fountain Valley High School has had a top-notch vocal music program for many years. Your readers may not know, however, that our community nearly lost this program. At a time of severe budget constraints, Vocal Music at FVHS was on the chopping block. A group of concerned parents rallied and formed the FV Vocal Music Foundation. Under the leadership of the Foundation’s President, Pat Harney (of blessed memory) and Treasurer, Robin Einstein, enough funds were raised to keep the program intact. We, today, are the beneficiaries of their foresight and dedication.

PAID ANNOUNC EMENT

Measure HH

Fountain Valley 9-1-1 Response/Police-Fire/Essential City Services Measure Placed on November 2016 Ballot On July 19, the Fountain Valley City Council voted to place the Measure HH—Fountain Valley 9-1-1 Response/Police-Fire/Essential City Services Measure on the November 2016 ballot. If enacted by voters, Measure HH would provide our City with funding to maintain community services such as police and fire. Consider the following:  9-1-1 emergency services calls have increased 27% over the last four years  The City of Fountain Valley only has two fire stations and unless additional funding is identified, Fire Station No. 2 will have to be closed. One of the key objectives of Measure HH—Fountain Valley 9-1-1 Response/Police-Fire/Essential City Services Measure, is to provide a reliable source of locally controlled funding—that can’t be taken by Sacramento—to help maintain and increase our neighborhood patrols, restore the number of firefighters to adequate staffing levels, and improve 9-1-1 emergency response times. Measure HH is a temporary local 1 cent sales tax—not a tax on your home or property. Sales tax is also not applied to prescription medication or food purchased as groceries. And out-of-town visitors who come to our City will also be sharing the cost.

     

Maintain 911 emergency response, neighborhood patrols and special crime suppression units Keep both Fountain Valley fire stations open Provide up-to-date safety equipment, communication devices, and other response apparatus Maintain police cadet recruitment and training programs, and front desk service Maintain school crossing guards/school resource officers Upgrade 9-1-1 emergency communication radios and equipment

In addition to Measure HH, several other issues such as State Propositions, legislative and City Council elections will also appear on your Nov. 8 ballot. For official information about the Fountain Valley’s Measure HH, visit www.fountainvalley.org. For information about how to register to vote, contact the Fountain Valley City Clerk’s Office at (714) 593-4445 or the Orange County Registrar of Voters at www.ocvote.com.

Let’s maintain the allure of Fountain Valley

here’s a lot to be said for living in central Orange County, particularly Fountain Valley. Homebuyers want value, not just in the home they purchase but the city in which they live. On Aug. 27 when the Courreges Tank House was moved to Heritage Park, the parade SUSAN SAURASTRI that escorted it through Fountain Valley was a scene straight out of Mayberry. It was small-town America at its best, a real Norman Rockwell moment. FVPD secured the way as kids on bikes sported smiles and cheers. Residents gathered curbside waving and whistling as dignitaries and donors drove by in classic convertibles. The high school marching band and color guard were on hand to greet the crowds. Afterwards, Hyundai hosted a spread and live music for the community to enjoy. The desirability of a nice place to live is made sweeter by the collective energy of its neighbors and volunteers. Selling Fountain Valley to prospective homebuyers is a joy for me. Sometimes we’re so consumed by the rigor of our daily lives that we miss taking notice of our surroundings.

OCTOBER 2016

The engine that drives the desirability factor of this city is our award-winning schools. Add to that the charm and character of our environment. Feed the ducks, pack a picnic or rent a bike or boat for year-round entertainment at Mile Square Park. Business deals can be made on one of the three 18-hole golf courses. When you want to polish up your skills, classes are available at our own Senior Center. In Fountain Valley we celebrate summer in style with Summerfest, concerts and movies in the park, and an outdoor market. Family time during the holidays is a fantasy come true, with the annual tree lighting, the singing of carols and a visit by Santa at Fountain Valley’s Recreation Center. Sam’s Club and Costco in the same city: Yes, we have them both. Health clubs, hotels, and restaurants, too. A tour of Fountain Valley with all that it offers is convincing evidence that purchasing a home here is a long-term investment that will always pay big dividends. Our police and firefighters make us Fountain Valley Proud. When I discuss value versus costs with relocating clients I suggest home shoppers shed their coats, hang up the umbrellas, ditch the bug spray, sell the snow shovels and I welcome them to paradise.

Fountain Valley Living Magazine

I’ve never used this column for a political forum but in recent conversations with residents, I realize that many of you are not aware of Fountain Valley’s long-term budget shortfall. On our ballots in November will be Measure HH asking you to approve a 1 percent sales tax for Fountain Valley. I don’t know anyone who is a fan of taxes. I’m certainly not, but voting no is not an option if we want to sustain the services and livability of Fountain Valley. The possible alternative of raising property taxes would be a bigger bite to swallow and would unfairly affect Fountain Valley homeowners. Please take the time to educate yourself on this issue. Attend the City Council meetings prior to Nov. 8. City Manager Bob Hall, Police Chief Dan Llorens and Fire Chief Tony Coppolino are available to meet with you and answer questions. Call (714) 593-4402. Let’s keep Fountain Valley a nice place to live. Vote Yes on HH.

Newly promoted Sgt. Don Farmer enjoys running and is passionate about the Special Olympics Torch Run. You will often see him on bicycle patrol at Summerfest. He is married and has two children. 32 OCTOBER 2016 Fountain Valley Living Magazine

Congratulations to Sgt. Kurt Ulrich who retires this month after a long and successful career in law enforcement. He has held numerous positions with FVPD over the years. We at Fountain Valley Living Magazine extend our best wishes to him in his www.FountainValleyMagazine.com retirement.
