Board President, Ron Krause
Did you know …..
Associations Vice President,
D.W. Duke is an attorney in Califor-
nia, is also a Duke family historian and
genealogist. He received his Bachelor
of Arts from the University of Michigan
and his juris doctor from Washington
University School of Law. He is the
author of five books and dozens of
articles, mostly concerning the law.
"The Duke Legacy" is his second
novel. - While many others have studied the Duke family legacy, focusing
primarily on Washington Duke, founder
of Duke University, D.W. Duke has
something that sets him apart - he's
part of the legacy himself.
Washington Duke was born in 1820,
and was one of 10 children. At a
young age, he realized there was a
great amount of racial discrimination in
the South. It was at this young age
that his disdain for slavery began to
form.
D.W. Duke brings the legacy of Washington Duke to life in his historical fiction, "The Duke Legacy" , which follows Washington Duke's life and lasting impact.
Throughout "The Duke Legacy," readers will follow Washington Duke on his
righteous journey against slavery and
injustice. Using information garnered
from his relatives, D.W. Duke tells the
story of a man who goes from a humble beginning in North Carolina to
founding the well-known Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, all the
while maintaining a strict moral code
and standing up for those in need.
D.W. Duke hopes his book will give
readers a better understanding of
Washington Duke and his family's
lasting legacy, as he touches on the
lives of numerous Duke family members, concluding with Washington
Duke's granddaughter, who passed
away in 1993.
So not only is he an important member of our Board of Directors but he is
an established lawyer and historian.
Always willing to go the extra mile for
something he is passionate about.
He takes great pride in our community.

SEEING GREEN NEWS
Dogs absolutely need to be
kept on a leash. Horses tend
to be nervous around the
sheep, so equestrians take
care. And we will not tolerate
any chasing or harassment of
these animals. Last year the community was great at
reinforcing this.
SHEEP NEWS:
With the meadows bursting
with life we are making
plans for the return of the sheep - though whether
they’ll actually come is still somewhat in question. The
owner of the flock has been carefully watching the sort
of vegetation growing in local open spaces and is
concerned about this year’s prevalence of foxtails that
cause lots of problems in his animals. We should soon
know one way or the other. So think positive thoughts,
and hopefully the sheep will be returning to our
meadows to feast on nature’s extraordinary buffet of
grasses and forbs.
If they do, we’ll have a shepherd living among us, and
his amazing sheepdogs, and we’ll get great pictures, and
it will be a lot of fun. But it also means that we will
have to adjust to living alongside a flock of sheep which might cramp our style on occasion, just a bit.
When the flock is here we sometimes close trails and
ask that people respect these closures. The sheep need
to be left to graze, and do what they were brought here
to do, and if they are disrupted by us, the effort fails.
Why are we doing this? The sheep do a great job of
reducing the dry stuff that fuels fires. While we used to
mow in the required strips, the areas in between still had
a lot of dead material. And while fire breaks help,
they’re not a lot of use in a Santa Ana-driven ember
storm. The best protection from fire is to remove as
much grass as possible. Go sheep.
If you want to be a part of this effort, please email
[email protected]. Volunteers are key to the
success of this project.
NATURE WALK
Tuesday, March 24th
See how many names of the spectacular wildflowers
covering our meadows you can remember!
Join us for a nature walk with our Fish and Wildlife
partner Jonathan Snapp-Cook, on Tuesday, March
24th. He is a botanist so that means he knows the
common names of plants as well as the impossible
Greek and Latin ones too. We meet at the clubhouse at
8:30 AM. Bring water, sunscr een, hats, etc. All are
welcome to attend.

QUARTERLY CLEAN-UP
Saturday, April 18th
Spring is bursting forth. The weather is mild and more residents are strolling,
biking, jogging and riding the many trails through our beautiful community.
One thing remains less than beautiful though and that is the amount of trash
that has been tossed along our roadways and trails. Join your neighbors for our
quarterly clean-up day. Meet in the clubhouse parking lot at 9:00 AM, grab a trash bag and
fill it up! The more that attend, the faster the clean up will be.
