"J
he Amigos de Bolsa Chica are excited to announce a number of special events to be held
in honor of their 40th Anniversary in 2016.
The Amigos de Bolsa Chica was founded by a
handful of Orange County residents in 1976 who
were concerned that developers were about to turn
one of the last remaining Saltwater Wetlands along
the southern California coast into a concrete harbor
and housing developments.
The signature event of our anniversary year will
be the premiere in February of a professionally produced documentary about the decades of struggle
it took to turn polluted oil fields and a damaged
ecosystem into the publicly owned ecological reserve it is today.
The Amigos de Bolsa Chica endeavor to use public education as a key communication tool. The
Amigos originated tours the Bolsa Chica wetlands
and continue to support them in a number of formats.
The Amigos will be hosting a vibrant list of experts during our first ever Bolsa Chica Science
Symposium in April. We expect this event to become the foremost information source for the Orange County community on new and developing
science related to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands while
witnessing ever increasing recovery and bio diversity.
A Program of Work and Calendar of events can
be found inside.

Sue DeWerff
ust more than 50 years ago, Satellite Beachs Pete
Dooley landed a part time job shaping surfboards
as a way to earn money to attend college.
His plan was to get an education but the degree he
initially sought ended up changing after learning the art
of shaping surfboards. His decision to use his earnings
to pool together with several friends back in 1968 to
manufacture and sell surfboard designs ended up becoming a lifelong career and a journey that has since
led him to international fame in the industry.
Dooley, now 66, the co-founder of Natural Art surfboards, originated in 1971, has created custom surfboards that have been ridden by both world class surfers
and recreational surfers internationally. The company
now has a production factory in Brazil as well as the
U.S.
Dooley has traveled around the world and been a part
of a design team that once manufactured more than
5,000 surfboards a year during the 1980s in an era
when short boards were just beginning to evolve. His
mission has always been to
bring a sport he is passionate about along with nature and art together. And
he certainly has accomplished that according to
his peers.
But for Dooley, his
most recent accomplishment as a 2015 inductee
into the International
Surfboard Builders Hall
of Fame earlier this
month is one he admits
is one of the highlights
of his career.

frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was
blurred, and his step faltered.
The family ate together at the table. But the elderly
grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult.. Peas rolled off his
spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass, milk
spilled on the tablecloth. The son and
daughter-in-law became irritated
with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son. 'I've had enough
of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and
food on the floor.'
So the husband and wife set a small
table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest
of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his
food was served in a wooden bowl.
When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction,
sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were
sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled
food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his
son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He
asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?'
Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food
in when I grow up. '
The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents so that they were
speechless. Then tears started to stream down their
cheeks.. Though no word was spoken, both knew
what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather's
hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal
with the family. And for some reason,neither husband
nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was
dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

raises the issue of concussions, the publics insatiable appetite with all things football
shines a spotlight on the sport at all levels.
Sticking with the NFL, the boardroom
machinations leading up to the decision
granting a team or teams access to the
Los Angeles market will be must viewing. Will the winner be St. Louis, led by
Stan Kroenke and his single-team stadium plan? Or will San Diego and Oakland, with their dual-stadium proposal,
pack up the moving vans?
Another story that bears watching this
year is the continuing saga of daily fantasy games. A number of states have
ruled that daily fantasy games constitute
gambling. That conclusion is hardly surprising to objective observers. The activity was specifically exempted from the
Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 precisely because without an exemption, daily fantasy games
couldnt have gained traction.
There you have it, my predictions of
the biggest sports business stories of
