California Grey Whale Watching In the fall, the Eastern Pacific, or California, Gray Whale starts a 2-3 month, 8,000-11,000 km (or 6,835 miles) trip south along the west coast of Canada, the United States and Mexico. The animals travel in small groups. The destinations of the whales are the coastal waters of Baja California and the southern Gulf of California, where they breed and the young are born. The breeding behavior is complex and often involves three or more animals. The gestation period is about one year, and females have calves every other year. The calf is born tail first and measures about 4 meters in length. It is believed that the shallow waters in the lagoons there protect the newborn from sharks. After several weeks, the return trip starts. This round trip of 16,000-22,000 km (or 13,670 miles), at an average speed of 10 km/h, is believed to be the longest yearly migration of any mammal. A whale watching industry provides ecotourists and marine mammal enthusiasts the opportunity to see groups of Gray Whales as they pass by on their migration. The whale feeds mainly on benthic crustaceans which it eats by turning on its side (usually the right) and scooping up the sediments from the sea floor. It is classified as a baleen whale and has a baleen, or whalebone, which acts like a sieve to capture small sea animals including amphipods taken in along with sand, water and other material. Mostly, the animal feeds in the northern waters during the summer; and opportunistically feeds during its migration trip, depending primarily on its extensive fat reserves. The migration route of the Eastern Pacific, or California, Gray Whale is often described as the longest known mammal migration. Beginning in the Bering Sea and ending in the warm-water lagoons of the Baja peninsula, their round trip journey moves them through 12,500 miles of coastline. This journey begins each October as the northern ice pushes southward. Traveling both night and day, Gray whales average approximately 120 km (80 miles) per day. By mid-December to early January, the majority of the Gray whales are usually found between Monterey and San Diego, where they are often seen on Newport Landing Whale Watching cruises. By late December to early January, the first of the Gray Whales
begin to arrive the calving lagoons of Baja. These first whales to arrive are usually pregnant mothers that look for the protection of the lagoons to give birth to their calves, along with single females seeking out male companions in order to mate. The three primary lagoons that the whales seek in Baja California are Scamnon’s (named after a notorious whale hunter in the 1850’s who discovered the lagoons and later became one of the first protectors of the Greys), San Ignacio and Magdalena. As noted, the California Grey Whales were called the devil fish until the early 1970’s when a fisherman in the Laguna San Ignacio named Pachico Mayoral (although terrified to death) reached out and touched a Grey mother that kept approaching his boat. Today the whales in Laguna San Ignacio are protected but it is possible to visit a whale camp there and have the same experience that Pachico had. Throughout February and March, the first Gray Whales to leave the lagoons are the males and single females. Once they have mated, they will begin the trek back north to their summer feeding grounds in the Bering seas. Pregnant females and nursing mothers with their newborn calves are the last to leave the lagoons. They leave only when their calves are ready for the journey, which is usually from late March to mid-April. The only predators of adult Gray Whales are humans and Orcas. After the California Gray Whales’ breeding grounds were discovered in 1857, the animals were hunted to near extinction there. After harvesting became inefficient because of dwindling numbers, the population recovered slowly, but with the advent of factory ships in the 20th century, the numbers declined again. Gray Whales have been granted protection from commercial hunting by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) since 1949, and are no longer hunted on a large scale. Limited hunting of Gray Whales has continued since that time, however, primarily in the Chukotka region of north-eastern Russia, where large numbers of Gray Whales spend the summer months. This hunt has been allowed under an “aboriginal/subsistence whaling” exception to the commercial-hunting ban.
Fisheries Service must prepare an
Currently, the annual quota for the Gray Whale catch in the region is 140 whales per year. A smaller quota of 4 whales per year was established for the Makah Indian tribe of Washington at the IWC’s 1997 meeting, but with the exception of a single Gray Whale killed in 1999, the Makah people have been prevented from conducting Gray Whale hunts by a series of legal challenges, culminating in a United States federal appeals court decision in December 2002 that said the National Marine
Environmental Impact Statement before allowing the hunt to go forward. On September 8, 2007, five members of the Makah tribe shot a gray whale using high powered rifles in spite of the limitations. The whale died within 12 hours, sinking while heading out to sea. As of 2001, the population of California Gray Whales had grown to 26,000. Information courtesy of Newport Landing Whale Watching

Local Dentist Michael Tessier Reveals Affordable Ways of Paying for Dental Care I think we all grew up thinking that medical or dental insurance was there for our benefit, like they were taking care of us. However, insurance is a product to make stockholders money. Although there’s nothing wrong with people wanting to make money in the market, that’s the main focus of that industry, not taking care of us (the insured). Even before the current attempt by the federal government to force us into government-run socialized medicine (run by the same people who operate Medicare, social security, and the post-office), all of us had become aware of the truth about insurance, as “covered benefits” decreased and “co-pays” increased. So, it is a real pleasant surprise for me to be able to report that Delta Dental of Illinois has announced their Enhanced Benefits Program offering “enhanced benefits for those with high-risk medical conditions”. Systemic diseases like diabetes, pregnancy, cardio-vascular conditions, renal disorders, cancer-related chemo- or radiation therapy, or suppressed immune systems have correlations with oral conditions. Delta/ Illinois is now taking these conditions into account, and paying more liberally for dental care than they used to. Pat and Donna at my front desk have between them fifty-plus years in the dental field, and will be able to answer any questions you might have. Please don’t hesitate to call them. When you call, please be sure to ask them about “Care Credit”, a credit card offering up to twelve months of interest-free credit on dental work. I like this because there are no premiums involved that have to be paid on a monthly basis, whether any dental work is required or not. Dr. Michael Tessier is located in Los Flores Plaza at 28562 Oso Parkway. Most major credit cards and dental plans cheerfully accepted telephone (949)459-7212

PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S SEASON OPENS with ONE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC’S MOST REVERED PIANISTS, ANDRÉ WATTS Pacific Symphony’s 34th season gets off to a magnificent start when special guest artist and longtime Symphony friend André Watts headlines the grand opening with a performance of Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, on Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 20-22, at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Franz Liszt once called Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto “a distinguished work of art in which thought and feeling move in noble harmony.” Separated by a gap of 22 years from the composer’s first piano concerto, the second concerto’s premiere was given by Brahms himself as soloist and was an immediate success that’s held true to today. The program also includes the lightheartedness of two composers by the same last name: Johann Strauss Jr.’s Overture to “Die Fledermaus,” which contrasts with the sophistication of Richard Strauss’ Suite from “Der Rosenkavalier,” packed with colorful operatic orchestration. Season-ticket packages for the Classical series are $240-$975. Single tickets for this concert are $25-$110. An opening night celebration— “Festa di Firenze”—takes place Thursday, Sept. 20, beginning at 5 p.m., at the Westin South Coast Plaza, and includes dinner, concert and post-concert reception. For more information about purchasing a table or individual seats and concert tickets, call the Symphony’s special events department at (714) 876 2364. Last but not least, Watts returns for a fourth performance on Sunday, Sept. 22, at 3 p.m., for the kick-off of the Classical Connections series, when Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2 goes under the magnifying glass. Classical Connections Sunday matinee performances are 90-minutes long and include thoughtful and fascinating commentary from Maestro St.Clair. Classical Connections four-concert season packages are $85-$285. Single tickets are $25-$85. For more information or to purchase subscriptions or single tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. “André is a consummate artist,” says St.Clair. “To me this means he is an artist’s artist. His depth of knowledge and understanding of the works he performs reflect a level not often obtained or experienced. This makes everyone around him a better musician and also a more discerning listener.” Page 6
Watts is the musician Pacific Symphony calls when they want a showstopping start or a memorable end to a season. One of the world’s most celebrated and beloved piano superstars for more than 50 years, Watts joined the Symphony for St.Clair’s 20th anniversary celebration in June 2010, the final concert of the season, performing Grieg’s sweepingly dramatic Piano Concerto. Prior to that, in 2008, Watts also performed Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Symphony. But it dates all the way back to the mid-1980s, when St.Clair was assistant conductor at the Boston Symphony, that he first met Watts... “He came regularly as soloist, so I was able to experience his profound music-making,” says St.Clair. “I remember when he performed both Brahms’ piano concertos on the same concert. It was not only a moving experience, it was revelatory to hear these two great works backto-back as performed by André’s mastery. His performance of Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto is also vivid in my memory. These are musical moments that have formed my present expectations of these works. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to have conducted André in these concertos, among others. It was through our professional collaborations that we developed a mutual respect that deepened into a friendship.” The affection and sentiment are returned. Watts has said, “I, as well as the audiences and musicians of Pacific Symphony, praise Carl St.Clair for being a wonderful musician; we can feel even greater joy in realizing that this great artist is also a human being with a wonderful heart and soul.” Timothy Mangan, The Orange County Register’s classical music critic, following an appearance by Watts’ with the Symphony, wrote: “The piano became, in his hands, not just a tool to waft beautiful melodies, but an instrument that could growl and sting, rush and hover, feint and jab, accompany as well as solo. There wasn’t an uninflected bar in his entire performance, and that kept it interesting and involving from first to last. The place erupted after the final ‘whomp.’” Watts burst upon the music world at the age of 16 when Leonard Bernstein chose him to make his debut with the New York Philharmonic in the Young People’s Concerts. More than 50 years later, he remains one

of today’s most beloved superstars of the music world. He has played before royalty in Europe and heads of government in nations all over the world. He was selected to receive the coveted Avery Fisher Prize in 1988, and in June 2006, he was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame in celebration of 50 years since his debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra. He is included in the “Great Pianists of the 20th Century” series on Philips. Watts’ appearance launches the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation Classical Series 201213, an exceptional and diverse season designed to embrace traditional repertoire, while introducing bright new interpretations, inventive staging and the best in established and emerging guest artists. The season begins with the spotlight squarely on the piano… “This season opens with three extraordinary pianists each with different and individual talents,” says St.Clair. “In a matter of weeks, our patrons will have the opportunity to hear no less than four piano concertos, each of them beloved masterworks. In my 23 years as Music
Director, this is unprecedented and a rare opportunity on any stage. This season is steeped in music of the more traditional vein. The backbone of our repertoire will dominate the programs, but is complimented by interesting journeys into the realm of jazz, opera and music of the Baroque era.” Pacific Symphony/Season Opening programs: “Come to the Cabaret,” Mozart’s Requiem and Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring”; a continuation of the opera initiative that lunched last season—“Symphonic Voices”— featuring Puccini’s “Tosca”; and the critically acclaimed American Composers Festival enters its 13th year by exploring the music of the iconic American jazz age with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Pacific Symphony’s Classical series performances are made possible by the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation, with additional support from American Airlines; The Westin South Coast Plaza, KUSC; and PBS SoCal. Classical Connections receives support from KPCC.

Urban Kitchen Grill and Wine Bar Offers Foothill Ranch Upscale Eatery
GRILLED WILD KING SALMON with sautéed baby spinach, ratatouille and jasmine rice
Urban Kitchen Grill and Wine Bar, a unique, upscale eatery offering gourmet comfort food and boutique wines has opened in Foothill Ranch. The restaurant features fresh, highquality entrees, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. “Our mission is to serve moderately-priced, hearty meals - comfort foods, if you will - in an unpretentious setting,“ said Urban Kitchen Grill owners Jaime Benson and David Hall. “We felt there was a niche for a new type of restaurant in the Foothill Ranch area. People who are looking for something special and varied can come to our bistro-style eatery for delicious food, boutique wines, and hand-crafted beers.” Their wine bar features wine flights for tasting and pairing, as well as full glasses. Wine tasting and wine dinners will be held on a regular basis featuring, primarily, boutique wines of California. “You can choose Urban Kitchen Grill as a place to have a quick lunch or dinner - or to have a relaxing experience with food and wine pairing,” Benson continued. “We intend to provide combinations which will tantalize the most gastronomically enthusiastic palates.” Urban Kitchen Grill and Wine Bar opened in mid-May. Both David and Jaime have spent most of their lives in the restaurant business. Executive Chef David Hall has been in the business for 22 years. For the last ten years, David held the positions Page 8
of General Manager and Director of Wine at The Bungalow Restaurant in Corona del Mar. This experience, in addition to his many previous years as a chef and caterer, have allowed David and Jaime in front of the store him to create a menu that is simple, yet provides the diner with a variety of experiences for food and wine pairings. General Manager Jaime Benson has 17 years of restaurant experience. Jaime has worked in the ‘front of the house’ for three upscale Orange County restaurants, the last several years with David in Corona del Mar. Prior to those years, Jaime was a corporate trainer for a national restaurant chain opening new stores in and out of California. Assisting with the opening is David’s wife Jaylene. Jaylene also brings years of her own restaurant experi- Wine Bar ence to the Urban Kitchen table.

4th Annual Festival Runway Fashion Show Features Recycled Materials A balmy afternoon with a slight breeze made being outside at the Laguna Beach Festival Arts a treat while watching the 4th Annual Runway Fashion Show where artists made the runway their canvas while they competed to create the most imaginative and unique designs using reclaimed, reused or recycled materials. A three-panel judge chose the top looks in four categories and over 1,500 Festival visitors cast their votes for “People’s Choice Award.” The winners this year each took home a $1,000 cash prize. They are: “Most Exciting Ensemble” was awarded to artists Brittany Ryan and Elizabeth McGhee for their Victorian ensemble made primarily of communication media (newspapers, telephone pieces, cassette tape) and titled “Miss Communication.” The dress is a 3rd generation recycled dress with many of its elements having been used in the past two Festival Runway Fashion Shows. Jeweler Adam Neeley won “Most Innovative Use of Materials” for his use of over 1,000 corn husks in his Frida Kahlo inspired dress. The corn husks were dipped in gold with an under skirt of old Macy’s plastic shopping bags. The bodice was formed out of fuchsia colored cardboard paper that was leftover from a child’s school project with the shawl formed from shipping packaging. Annette Wimmer created and modeled her own look, a tailored two piece suit of packaging supplies and aluminum foil, which received the award “Most Wearable to Next Year’s FOA Exhibit Opening Night Party.” The suite consisted of a diagonally woven skirt and an intricately constructed form fitted top. The edges are finished with hand torn and cut paper strips to soften the look and instead of using thread, Wimmer used staples and duct tape! Painter W. Bradley Elsberry won “Most Creative Concept” with the show’s closing look entitled “Wrapping it Up” utilizing packaging and wrapping material. Model Erika Meyers was initially hidden inside a war-themed exterior made up of machine guns, missiles, and bombs that were connected together and attached to a long red train that also had photos of war and death attached. As she made the dramatic reveal where she peeled off the monster type exterior, she emerged from the costume in a white dress made almost exclusively from paper, Strathmore watercolor paper to be exact. She stopped and sang a few verses from I Dreamed a Dream, a song from the play Les Misérables. Meyers then pulled up a large shepherd’s hook that had a long 50 foot white train attached to it with images from Dante’s Paradise placed on the outside. Also attached at the top of the stick was a white cut out dove giving it an angelic type feel as she carried it away. Elsberry runway also impressed the crowd and took home the highly coveted “People’s Choice Award.” Stunning entries from artists Luciano Bortone, Dagmar Chaplin, Michelle Lance, Rick Graves, Bruce Burr, Jon Seeman, John Tolle wowed the judges and crowd alike with their unique styling and creative use of materials. The judges this year hail from sophisticated textile and artistic fashion backgrounds, including Jeannie Mai, the host of the Style Channel’s popular fashion makeover show “How Do I Look?”, LACMA Curator of Costumes and Textiles, Kaye Spilker, and Sheri Holley from Macy’s South Coast Plaza. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jerry Penacoli was unable to attend and Lisa M. Berman, The “Go To” Style Diva and Proprietor of Sculpture to Wear Gallery, stepped in to host the event. During the break when the judges were tallying up the scores, the crowd was treated to a special fashion show by contestants from the Miss Orange County Regional and Miss Orange County Teen Regional pageants who modeled designs from Brit Boy and Marisa Kenson. Giselle Boone, Executive Director of the Miss Orange County Regional Pageant said the girls competed in the pageant on August 4, 2012 and were excited to come and walk the runway. The 2012 Miss Orange County Teen Regional Tiffany Brock was on hand along Page 12

The History of Whale Watching In California Whale watching is the practice of observing whales and other cetaceans in their natural habitat. Whales are watched most commonly for recreation, but the activity can also be for scientific or educational reasons. Whale watching as an organized activity dates back to 1950 when the Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego was declared a public spot for the observation of Gray Whales. In 1955 the first water-based whale watching commenced in the same area, charging customers $1 per trip to view the whales at closer quarters. The spectacle proved popular, attracting 10,000 visitors in its first year and many more in subsequent years. California whale watching was the birthplace for whale watching throughout the globe. In 1971 the Montreal Zoological Society commenced the first commercial whale watching activity on the eastern side of North America, offering trips in the St. Lawrence River to view Fin and Beluga Whales. In the late 1970s the industry mushroomed in size thanks to operations in New England. By 1985 more visitors watched whales from New England than California. The rapid growth in this area has been attributed to the relatively dense population of Humpback Whales, whose acrobatic behavior such as breaching (jumping out of the water) and tail-slapping was an obvious crowd-pleaser, and the close proximity of whale populations to the large cities on the east coast of the US. Throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s whale watching spread throughout the world. In 1998 Erich Hoyt carried out the largest systematic study of whale
watching yet undertaken and concluded that whale watching trips were now available in 87 countries around the world, with over 9 million participants generating an income to whale watcher operators and supporting infrastructure (such as accommodation, restaurants and souvenirs) of over one billion dollars. His estimate for 2000 was for 11.3m participants spending $1.475bn, representing a five-fold increase over the decade. Whale watching is of particular importance to developing countries as coastal communities start to profit directly from the whales’ presence, significantly adding to popular support for the full
protection of these animals from any resumption of commercial whaling. Whale watching today is carried out from the water via crafts that range from kayaks, motorized rafts, and sailboats to former fishing or whaling boats as well as custom-built craft carrying as many as 400 people. Whale watch trips may last one hour, two hours, half a day, a full day, two or three days, or on up to ten or fourteen days. You may spend as little as $20 or $25 per person for a 2 hour-long trip or more than $3,000 for a two-week expedition with several stops.
Two Local Teens and a Child Come Together to Unite a Community
by: Ria Ciscone As most of us are wrapping up our summers with jaunts to local beaches, last-minute vacation destinations and ice cream shops, two local families are forced to limit their travel to Children’s Hospital of Orange County. Seven-year-old Ayden Elsasser was diagnosed earlier this year with a malignant Posterior Fossa Medulloblastoma (pediatric brain tumor) and has since started aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatments to the brain and spine. This next year will be filled with hospital visits, physical and occupational therapies and doctors’ clinics. He looks forward to the day he can train and test in Tang Soo Do, perform in Hip Hop dance competitions, and can return to Rancho Viejo Montessori School with his friends. Fifteen-year-old Kabina Cressey’s cancer journey began in 2008 when she was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of pediatric bone cancer. She fought that battle for 10 months until life had returned to normal. Her family was looking forward to celebrating three years of being cancer-free. However, on
November 8, 2011, they got the news that Kabrina had Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and that the most likely cause of this secondary cancer was a chemotherapy drug she received to fight the Ewing’s. Since then, she successfully underwent a bone marrow transplant and things were looking up. She was accepted to the a cappella choir set to start this fall during her sophomore year at Tesoro High school, was excited to start Driver’s Ed and was enjoying the fact that her hair was growing back. Unfortunately, recently Kabrina learned that her Leukemia had returned. With Ayden and Kabrina’s positive attitudes, their inspirational parents and the expert care they’re receiving at CHOC, they have both been showing remarkable signs of progress. Both the Elsasser and Cressey families have an enormous support system comprised of family, friends and even some strangers who have been following their stories on Caring Bridge and Facebook. To that end, a few local moms joined together to host a not-to-be-missed evening at the Dove Canyon Country Club on Sunday, September 9 at 5:00 PM. The event is called “Ian Plays For
Ayden & Kabrina & the Children of TFF.” TFF stands for Talbert Family Foundation, which is dedicated to providing direct financial support to local families suffering from catastrophic illnesses, primarily cancer. The evening will include a champagne greeting, hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction full of coveted items and a delectable dinner. The highlight of the experience promises to be the piano concert featuring original works written and performed by the gifted Ian Castillo-Urrego, a graduate of Rancho Viejo Montessori School and sophomore at Trabuco Hills High School . Ian, 16 conceptualized the Ian Castillo-Urrego guides Ayden evening: “After hearing about Kabrina Elsasser at the piano and then shortly after, about Ayden, it really hit me hard. I felt like I needed to help in any possible way I could, so I figured, ‘Why not with my music?’”. Tickets are $75/person and can be purchased by emailing AydensBenefit@GaryandMisty.com. A portion of the ticket price and silent auction items is tax-deductible. The Talbert Family Foundation donates 100% of the monies from the public to the families it supports. Kabrina Cressey gets love from mom, Karen Cressey

Alegria Farm in Laguna Canyon is Orange County’s First Hydroponic Vertical Farm Local entrepreneur Erik Cutter has bought the farm - literally. EnviroIngenuity today announced the phase one completion of Alegria Farm, Orange County’s first hydroponic vertical farm. Engaged in the promotion of sustainable technologies, EnviroIngenuity has brought a new farming system to the west coast. It wasn’t enough for Cutter to develop and sell a successful automotive design company, publish Baja Life Magazine for 15 years, operate a marketing and web design firm, and sell highend resort properties. This Laguna Beach-based entrepreneur turned his latest hobby - growing food - into his latest venture. Alegria Farm is located on 1/4 acre in Laguna Canyon. Today, more than 7,000 plants are growing in 120 vertical towers producing an exotic tasting variety of leafy greens, medicinal herbs and heirloom vegetables. And the farm is still expanding. Alegria Farm utilizes the VertiGro(R) hydroponic system, a futuristic farming technique featured at the Epcot(R) theme park at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida for last 16 years. The commercial system uses stacked pots with nutrients and water automatically dripped through the plant’s root system. Plants grow using 90 percent less water, 50 percent less fertilizer, 70 percent less land and zero oxic pesticides - all while delivering 10 times the yield of traditional organic farming. Hydroponic farming is soilless and utilizes coconut fiber instead of organic soil, which virtually eliminates pesticide usage to produce stronger plants that are substantially more nutrient-rich. “We have nicknamed Alegria Farm ‘the farmacy’ because - aside from being delicious - the raw, natural food we are growing is super rich in enzymes, nutrients and phytochemicals. Dense nutrients remain intact in our food when it is consumed close to the time it is harvested. The high-yield, non-toxic nature of the Verti-Gro’s(R) system makes it easy to farm within the city limits so we can deliver the freshest produce possible. Our short delivery time has resulted in our new phrase, ‘Farm to Table in Minutes,’”
said Cutter. With an education in biochemistry and oncology and an avid researcher of health and nutrition, Cutter hopes to alter the way food is perceived and teach people how important it is to know where your food comes from. “If you agree with Hippocrates, ‘Let thy food by thy medicine,’ then let Alegria Farm be your Farmacy,” says Cutter. In addition to creating access to locally-grown, highly nutritious, pesticide-free greens and vegetables, Alegria Farm is creating jobs for young people through its subscriberbased produce delivery service, Alegria Fresh. “Instead of a paper route, we will hire young people to handle our produce route,” said Cutter. “Subscribers to our home delivery produce route will receive a beautifully arranged bouquet of produce once, twice or three times each week,” Cutter said. “Picked fresh the same day, these bouquets provide nature’s most powerful bioavailable vitamins, minerals, enzymes and disease-fighting phytonutrients.” The company is currently seeking applicants for its produce route. “Orange County has transformed from an agricultural to a dense urban mecca, so far less space is available to farmers making vertical farming a great solution to increase access to healthy food and reduce impact on the environment,” Cutter added. For more information on Alegria Farm or to schedule a private tour, please visit http://www.AlegriaFresh. com or follow on Facebook and Twitter.

FREE BREAKFAST at MCDONALD’S FOR STUDENTS IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE ON SEPTEMBER 4 To help children start the new school year with great momentum, and stress the importance of children eating a wholesome breakfast every day, participating Southern California McDonald’s® restaurants will offer one free full-size Fruit & Maple Oatmeal to students in kindergarten through eighth grade on Tuesday, Sept. 4, from 6-9 a.m., while supplies last. To take advantage of this one-day offer, students are required to be accompanied by an adult when visiting a participating McDonald’s restaurant in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. “It is essential that everyone eat a nutritious breakfast every day, yet often adults get by with a cup of coffee, a piece of toast or nothing at all,” said Bonnie Modugno, MS, RD, consulting for Southern California McDonald’s. “For children, skipping breakfast will likely impact their learning at school and their performance in after-school activities. To ensure they eat well early in the day, the Fruit & Maple Oatmeal is a great tasting breakfast choice that provides an excellent source of fiber and Vitamin C at only 290 calories.” The Fruit & Maple Oatmeal is freshly made with 100 percent natural whole grain oats and topped with about a half cup of real fruit, including a sweet and tangy medley of plump raisins, cranberries, and fresh red and green apples. “McDonald’s is committed to the well-being of children and to offering our customers the best quality, on-the-go food choices to meet their every day nutritional needs,” said Michael Mangione, Jr., McDonald’s owner/operator and president of the McDonald’s Operators’ Association of Southern California (MOASC). “This back-to-school season we are excited to offer a hearty breakfast choice to children and help propel their academic success this new school year.” For more information on the Fruit & Maple Oatmeal and McDonald’s “Commitments to Offer Improved Nutrition Choices”, visit www.McDonalds.com/changing. MOASC is composed of more than 600 franchised and company-owned McDonald’s restaurants in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. Follow us on Twitter: @McDonalds_SoCal.

Safe Exercise in Hot Weather
by Ira Bailey With temperatures soaring but looking great in swimsuits ever important, people are exercising more than ever in an attempt to losing those last 10 pounds. Besides the usual over training, sprains, and muscle aches that exercisers have to deal with, they face a new danger - heat. Here are a few tips on how to lose those pounds without losing your life in the process. 1.Stay hydrated. Water is okay, but sports drinks are better in hot weather. This is because you’ll likely sweat more, losing water as well as minerals, including salt. Chugging pure water can actually be harmful so sports drinks are the way to go. Best to go stock up on some Gatorade before you even plan any type of activity. 2.Take regular breaks. It doesn’t matter if your body can endure an hour of nonstop running in ordinary circumstances. Your body may be able to handle the cardiovascular aspect, but it won’t be able to handle the temperature boost, no matter how seasoned you are. Take a break every half hour if you’re doing intensive exercise and every hour for light or moderate exercise. Breaks should be five to ten minutes in a shady area so your heart rate and temperature can come down. Use this time to sip the sports drinks you stocked up on. Page 18
3.Exercise in the shade. If you’re running or walking, this might not be possible the whole time, but do your best to stay in the shade. It’s cooler there so you minimize the risks of exercising in hot weather a bit. If possible, an indoor track or pool would be better on days of extremely hot weather. 4.Exercise in the early morning or late evening. The hottest time of the day is usually around 11 am to 2 pm. If you schedule your exercise at around 7 to 9 am or 4 to 6 pm, you won’t be subjected to as hot of temperatures. 5.Wear loose cotton clothing. You may be tempted to work out in your beloved spandex shorts or your flattering black velvet pants, but this is one of those times where it may be necessary to forsake style for health and safety. Loose cotton clothing allows air to circulate around your body, which will allow your sweat to evaporate, cooling down your body in the process. Lighter colors are preferable over darker ones and shorts and sleeveless tops are preferred over others. 6.Don’t push yourself too hard. It’s common for us to push our bodies during exercise, especially if the goal is increased strength and endurance. In hot weather, however, your body is already facing an extra challenge
The Ladera Ranch News
by having to work hard to keep the body’s temperature stable. Pushing your body beyond its limits will require it to put in effort to sustain the exercise, taking away some of the focus from body temperature regulation. 7.Sunscreen, and lots of it. Your internal organs aren’t the only thing that need protecting in hot weather. Your skin is also susceptible to the heat and improper protection can lead to things like cancer. Get a good SPF level sunscreen, but make sure it’s not the kind that will clog your pores. You need them to sweat. Chapstick is also your friend. Do not, however, wear a hat, as heat is released through the head and a hat can impede this process. 8.Don’t exercise for too long. Even with regular breaks and lots of fluids, exercising for hours upon hours can be dangerous. Your body needs to take more energy to keep up with exercise the longer it goes on. This, like pushing your body to hard, takes away from the body’s ability to regulate temperature efficiently. The recommended time for weight loss is an hour of exercise, 4 to 5 times a week. If you just want to stay in shape, only half an hour is required. Unless you’re training for a sport of competition of some sort, with an experienced trainer or coach, there
is no need to go for longer than that. 9.Bring along equipment to help assess your risk. If you’re working out intensely, or even if you’re unsure of how much or how hard to work out, bring along a heart rate monitor. Almost any sporting type store should carry them. It will tell you how high your heart rate is going during exercise. You should stay in between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate on hot days. If you must work out intensely because of training purposes, it’s best to bring along a thermometer and a blood pressure monitor. A temperature over 101 degrees Fahrenheit is a sign that you need to stop or at least take an extended break and cool down. A blood pressure monitor is good for assessing dehydration. If your blood pressure is getting low, you need to take a break and get hydrated. 10.Listen to your body. Everything else aside, your body is the most accurate gauge of how you’re doing. If you feel in any way out of the ordinary, you need to stop exercising. This includes heart palpitations, increasing fatigue, chest pain or pressure. Don’t ignore the signs either. If you’re thirsty, drink. This is not the time to wait until you finish that last lap or set. Remember, you can’t exercise if you’re dead.
