As the Executive Director for the Foundation, ]: am here to report that the Foundation is solvent, productive and growing every day. Capitalizing on the successes of last year we went to work to raise more money, provide more services and to develop and fund more projects. And we have been successful at all three. The Tustin Family & Youth Center continues to receive financial assistance from corporations such as 3M Healthcare, The !rvine Company; Waste Management; the Marconi Automotive Museum; Southern California Edison; Merrill Lynch; and Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates. This year the Foundation was able to provide funding for h a new scanner and supporting software for use in the computer learning center. The youth and many families were treated to a Knott's Berry Farm excursion (tickets & travel) and the United States Youth Athlete Event (tickets & travel). Edgar & Libby Panky, .lohn Seigal, the Kiwanis Club, Tustin Acura, and the Rotary made substantial donations to this fund as well. The Foundation, through its Scholarships Sub Committee, provided funding for two disadvantaged children to participate in Tustin's Parks & Rec Summer Camp program and provided the shortfall for the Tustin High School Band travel this past year. The City's donation to the Foundation of all the used computer equipment has been put to good use. First, the Material Asset Recovery firm owned and operated by Dwayne Wright donated the services of his staff to diagnose, repair, that which could be repaired, and sell, through his company that which was beyond repair. The money of which, to date is $650, has been deposited in our computer purchase and replacement fund for the future. ! have been working with Steve Beck, a Tustin High School Teacher, who teaches a computer class where the student not only learn how to operate them, but take them apart and repair them. We have been donating those computers, which can be used by the students. The Foundation, in a collaborative effort, captured $5,500 in corporate contributions for Tustin Tiller Days. Corporations such as Sprint PC, Orange National Bank, Texas Tnstruments, Tustin Pontiac Buick and Bank of America. The Tustin Community Foundation, in a collaborative effort, captured $5,500 for Tustin's Concerts in the Park; $1,500 for Tustin Pride and $3,000 for the Senior Fund for the Tustin Area Senior Center. All these funds donated by PacBell. The Tustin Community Foundation, in a collaborative effort, was able to obtain a grant from Steelcase Foundation, in the amount of $35,000, for TAFFY. The Tustin Police Department came to the Foundation with the Santa Sleigh Project and, working with Officer GeOrge Vallevieni, the Foundation was able to fund the project to the tune of $4,000. Thanks to Noah McMahon, from Mc Mahon Marketing, who personally donated $600 to kick this program off. This program received rave reviews from the residents, business owners as well as the thousands of kids who participated. Also, through the Foundation, Nike donated $1,000 to the Tustin Police Department Dare Program. The 2nd Annual Mayor's Prayer Breakfast, again, was a huge success. Pastor .lohn Werhas from Friends Church/Former Angel and Dodger was very inspirational as well as humorous. Seasons Catering prepared a delicious breakfast which was served with the help of parents from the Tustin Family & Youth Center and members of Laurel House, who were paid for their time, given breakfast and walked away with what was left. The Foundation brought in $9,975 we spent $ 4,495.02 which netted $5,479.98. The Ist Annual Golf Tournament, sponsored by Bank of America & Trvine Company, was exciting as well as profitable. Doctor's Ambulance, LENNAR Homes, Marconi's Automotive Museum and Waste Management were Cart sponsors and many local businesses purchased tee-signs. The Foundation raised $21,035.00. We spent $11,779.97 to put it on and the Foundation netted $9,255.00. The Tustin Community Foundation donated $5,000 to be the sponsor for the Miss Tustin Scholarship Pageant. The pageant, which was last held in 1993, will take place on Saturday, March 6 at 7:00 PM and will be held at St Jeanne de Lestonnac School Theater, located at :[6791 East lVlain Street in Tustin. The Foundations long-term project, The Resource Center, made some strides this year. Several meetings have taken place between. Chuck Puckett, chairman of the Foundation, Mayor Tom Saltarelli, Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido, Santa Ana City Manager and myself discussed a collaborative effort between the two cities in an effort to help the youth on the west side of Tustin. The Board of Directors are working closely with the Youth Action Team of Tustin and are helping them develop a teen center which will service the teen population in Tustin. The Foundation is solvent and in the last seven months of 1998 $101,300.00 was run through our books for the many worthwhile programs, projects and services provided for the betterment of all the citizens of Tustin. ]:n addition, through the efforts of the individual board members and our donors, new and old, the Foundation has raised enough funds to cover the administrative expenses necessary to run the Foundation for another year. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. The Tustin Community Foundation has been sent letters of appreciation, accolades by-phone and fax as well as columns of ink in the Tustin Weekly, Tustin News, the Orange County Register and the Times on our activities. ! are looking to a prosperous New Year filled with challenges and with your help :[ know we can continue to build on our successes.

Sincerely, Jasorm Potter Community Relations THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, THURSDAY, OCT. 15, 1998 SPORTS 13 YGNAC]O NAHErnKhe Orange County Regist~ DRIVE FOR DOUGH: Gerry James, following one of his tee shots Tuesday at Tustin Ranch, is preparing for the Wodd Long Drive Championships. DRIVE T/ME LONG DRIVERS: Golfers who can hit their tee shots into the next area code aren't just sideshmv acts anymor,,. Take Gerry James of Irvine, a former Mr. California with a sLx-figure annual income and PGA Tour aspiration:~. By JOHN REGER The, Orange County Register The oldest adage in golf is "Drive for show, Putt for dough," but a group of muscled men, more ath- letes than golfers, are changing that saying to "Drive for show, coUect the dough." They carry the big stick, but rarely speak softly, and now are being paid handsomely for driving a golf ball to locations most hackers see only on their second shot. Long drivers always have been a part of the game but were considered more like a circus sideshow act. That has changed with their own associa- tion, which has led to sponsorships, increased prize money and a public's fascination and eager willingness to pay for the chance to see little white golf balls disappear into the horizon. Look at Gerry James and you in- stantly realize how he can drive a golf ball an average of 360 yards. The 1990 Mr. California is 6-foot-S, 260 pounds and has 12 percent body fat, 8 percent more than when he was a competitive bodybuilder. Tuesday, James was at Tustin Ranch Golf Club working a charity event for the Tustin Community Foundation's golf tournament. It is one of more than 50 functions the Ir- vine resident works at yearly. Corporations and nonprofit organi- zations hire him to show off on the tee box. RESULTS FROM LAST YEAR'S LONG DRIVE CHAMPIONSHIPS 1. Jason Zuback, Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada, 412 yards 2. Sean Fister, Little Rock, Ark., 406 yards 3. Brian PavleL Phoenix, 3ga yards 4. Frank Miller, Irvine, 389 yards. 7 feet, 9 inches 5. Gerry James, Irvine, 389 yards, 4 feel 9 inches $enior~ division 1. Michael Hooper, Culver City, 371 yards 2. Roger Capan, Hou~on. 3C~, yards 3. Marry Joyce. Elmwood Park. II1., 358 yards 4. Les Muramoto, Kaneohe, Hawaii. 318 yards James, 37, usually starts with a demonstration on the driving range. When the tournament begins he goes to the tee box of a par-$. Foursomes can donate money and get to use James' drive as their own. On the 492-yard, par-S No. 10 at Tus- tin Ranch, most every group took him up on the offer. He teed the ball high, used a 6-degree, 47t-inch GolfGear driver with a 2.$ light double XX-stiff Harrison shaft, and knocked drives about 350 yards into a stiff wind down the fairway. The reaction from the players usu- ally was the same. The ones who didn't have their mouths agape ut- tered, "Wowl" The sound his club made when he generated 130- to 150-mph swing speed attracted people from the near- by putting green and adjacent first tee. Average golfers, who generate swing speeds of 80-100 mph, just stared in amazement. James was called "big guy" a lot during the tournament. The golfers, mostly local businessmen, slapped his back and asked him how he hits the ball so far. Soft laughter came from James' mouth. That is the reaction he ex- pects but doesn't necessarily w. ant. He is not a one-trick pony. James carries a plus-2 handicap and holds the course record at Tustin Ranch. His goal, once he wins the World Long Drive Championships in Mesquite, Ney., Oct. 21-24, is to get on the PGA Tour. "I want to play professionally," James said. "I don't play full-time now. Once I do, I think I'll have a major advantage over everyone else.:' His game has suffered temporarily because of his preparation for the World Long Drive Championships. Last year, James finished fifth with a drive of 389 yards and collected $8,800. The winner. Jason Zub~.:k. a -' former powerlifter, had a drive ,f 412 yards. - James finished second to Zub;..'k at an event in June but is convinc~ can win the championship. "! have to win. it's in my sc'up." . James said. "And ! will win the" championship." ·, If he doesn't win -- and tha! isn't even a possibility in James' mi:d --' he stiU will make cio'se to $150,0(;,; this year. In addition to prize mone:' and exhibitions..lames earns mom.'..' by teaching gr)lf and even has a Wei, site -- Advancedpowergolf.com -- m~d a teaching video. Those ol~P,rtunities weren't :~vail- able five years ago. Long-drive .'om- petitions were around in the ,,qriy · '80s but us~mily were for little ?rize money. Endorsement deals, su::h as the one Zuback has with Pinnacl.' golf ' balls or James has with GolfGea r and Harrison shafts, were nearly ~o,~ex- ' istent. Gary Hambright, who wort-.: for Bullet Golf. was one of the early com- · petitors in long driving. Hambright, who played golf at Santa Aha C~,ilege,.. got involved in competing in thc mid- '80s when c.mpetitions were ::pon- · sored by Golf Magazine.

We kicked off our program at the City's annual tree lighting ceremony and Santa visited the residents of our community on December 14 through 17, culminating in his appearance at our Santa Cop Christmas party for needy families on December 18. A program of this magnitude would have been impossible to carry out without the support of your organization. Your commitment and dedication to such a worthwhile project is certainly indicative of community support in the highest degree. We have received many calls and letters of thanks from members of our community and plans are already under way to expand the program next year.

Roger Bell, of the city's Field Services,' did all the electrical work. But Vallevieni's crowning achievement was locating a real, 7-foot-long by 4-foot-~vide sleigh, built in 1910. in a San Juan Capi- strano antique shop. When tile · owner dropped his. asking price to $500, Vallevieni was in busi- ness. From his research in Tor- rance, he was able to come up with reasonable ground rules that will enable the trailer to visit ever}' residential street large enough for it to maneuver in, within a week. That means Santa can pass out candy canes and moms can take pictures of them together, but there is no time for them to sit in Santa's lap or tell him their Christmas wishes. Starting Monday, a caravan in- chiding a patrol car before and behind the trailer with the sleigh.
