CAPISTRANO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNOUNCES FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN AT ALL ELEM E NTARY S C H O O L S F O R T H E 2 0 1 9- 2020 SCHOOL YEA R Research shows the advantages of full-day kindergarten programs
The Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) will offer full-day kindergarten starting in the 20192020 school year at all elementary school campuses. Research indicates that students, teachers and parents benefit from a full-day kindergarten program. “Our mission as a school district is to prepare students to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Research indicates that providing students with a longer kindergarten school day will increase student performance and help ensure that students are not only prepared for first grade, but will have an excellent foundation for their entire K-12 experience,” said Superintendent Kirsten Vital. Full-day kindergarten was approved by CUSD and the Capistrano Unified Education Association (CUEA) in early 2018. During the 2018-2019 school year, CUSD implemented fullday kindergarten program at twelve elementary schools. For seven of these schools, it was their first year of implementing a full day program. “Both CUSD and the Capistrano Unified Education Association (CUEA) recognize the benefits in partnering to enhance student academic and social achievement,” said Vital, who added, “We received
positive response from our full day Kinder teachers and appreciate their feedback on strategies and challenges that need to be worked through.” A typical full-day program will run approximately six hours and will be consistent with the elementary start time at each school. “Research shows that a full-day program results in greater reading and math gains, more time for support of students atrisk, and indicates that 5-year-olds are more than ready for a longer day and
do better in a setting that allows them time to learn and explore activities in depth,” said Brad Shearer, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, Elementary. “Full-day kindergarten is attractive to our families because it helps eliminate transportation challenges for families with other elementary aged children and reduces child care expenses,” said Shearer. Each elementary school will hold parent information meetings, called “Kindergarten Roundups” in January
and February. Dates are posted on the district and elementary school websites and will begin January 22, 2019. Learn more about our full-day kindergarten program at our upcoming CUSD Innovation Showcase on Wednesday, January 23, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Capistrano Valley High School, Mission Viejo. CUSD families and the community are invited to attend, especially families with children ages one and up! Visit capousd.org for more information.

TWO YEARS OF AFFORDABLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE TUITION FUNDED IN GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM’S BUDGET Governor Gavin Newsom released his 2019-20 Budget Plan which proposes to fully fund two years of free community college in California at a cost of $40 million. These funds were proposed in the 2019-20 state budget, from the $200 million voterapproved Proposition 98 General Fund. This proposal extends the California College Promise to waive enrollment fees for first-time, full-time students for a second academic year. Assembly Bill 2 (AB 2), jointly authored by Assemblymembers Sharon QuirkSilva, Miguel Santiago, David Chiu, Kevin McCarty, Rob Bonta, Laura Freidman, Lorena Gonzalez, and Sabrina Cervantes was introduced to strengthen the California College Promise policy. This budget proposal takes an important step towards guaranteeing a completely free community college experience for California students. “We must be sure that California’s students have access to higher education, yet high tuition costs deny students and their families the dream of obtaining a degree,” said Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D – Orange County). “Expanding the College Promise Program will give working class students, and their families, assurance that the cost of higher education, and the American Dream, will be within their reach. A reinvestment in our students is an investment in California; its educated students, skilled workforce, economy, and its future.” “Community college changed my life,” said Assemblymember Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles). “It gave me choices and opportunities and it opened doors. I know that free community college will change the lives of all Californians. To educate a community is to empower a community. I applaud the Governor’s budget proposal to fund two years of free community college. He has consistently shown leadership on this
issue and I look forward to partnering with him in our efforts to strengthen the California College Promise with AB 2.” “This budget proposal shows the new Governor’s commitment to working towards a world-class higher education system that is accessible to all,” said Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco). “Providing two years of free community college tuition will make it easier for students to receive a college education and encourage more students to enroll.” “California’s future economy will require about 2 million college students with new academic degrees by 2030,” said Assemblymember Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento). “By providing two years of free community college, California will help more students graduate with less debt, and will grow the number of degree and certificated workers needed to compete in the global economy” “A college degree can open the door to a lifetime of opportunity, but for many Californians, the cost of tuition is an insurmountable barrier,” said Assemblymember Laura Friedman (D-Glendale). “With AB 2, we’re investing in our students and economy by creating pathways to sustainable careers.” “The cost of earning a college degree has become a heavy burden on an entire generation of Californians,” said Assemblymember Rob Bonta (D-Oakland). “Young people today worry about whether they’ll be able to pay for their dream of going to college without going into mountains of debt. It’s unfair and unsustainable. I’m proud to be joint-authoring AB 2 that would make college more affordable and accessible. I’m pleased this effort is also a key priority for the Governor and look forward to working together to make this a reality. Not only will it help our students, it will also aid California in meeting its future workforce demands and keep our
Gavin Newsom state the world’s innovation leader.” “California can’t pretend that the education needed to prepare our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow ends at the 12th grade. If it’s the state’s responsibility to offer a free public education, then we must offer no-cost access to our great community college system,” said Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego). AB 2 was introduced on December 3, 2018 and will likely be heard in the Assembly Higher Education Committee in late February/early March. An important component of the California College Promise is to provide students information about financial aid and services available to support their success. Based on 2017-18 data, approximately 28,000 first-time, full-time students are projected to be eligible for a second year of free tuition, assuming their California Community College (CCC) meets the participation requirements of the program. To assist CCC with these efforts, the Budget proposes $5 million one-time General Fund for the Chancellor’s Office to expand outreach around the College Promise.

FRANK SINATRA’S MALIBU BEACH HOUSE ON THE MARKET!
Filled with family and close Hollywood friends, the house that Frank and Barbara Sinatra built in the early 1990s on Broad Beach in Malibu is now on the market for the first time. The home has been listed for $12.9 million. Of all the beautiful homes and retreats Sinatra owned from coast to coast, it seemed that he found his true happy place when he and Barbara visited their good friends Steve and Eydie Gorme in Malibu. Enthralled with the peacefulness of the Pacific, the white-sand beach and the prospect of having close friends for neighbors, the couple bought a lot and built their home in 1992. In addition to it being a restful beach home for Frank, who was still touring until shortly before his death at age 82, they filled the home with family and the most famous names in show business. In her book, Lady Blue Eyes: My Life With Frank, Barbara fondly describes their life in the beach house and their poker games where jokes and laughter flowed as fast as

the food and drinks. Although the couple also owned homes in Palm Springs and Los Angeles, this was where they chose to renew their vows in 1996 with friends watching from the dunes and speeches from Don Rickles and Bob Newhart. With Barbara’s death in 2017, her son from a former marriage has put the property on the market. Designed by architect-to-the-stars Ted Grenzbach, the house sits safely back from the waves nestled in lush lawn and mature landscaping with dunes framing the beach entrance. Its indoor-outdoor living plan affords an open and spacious floor plan for entertaining and still invites an intimate gathering in front of the oversized fireplace with a brandy on chilly evenings. Bright and white and filled with sunlight, the interior is the perfect foil for the colorful Pacific sunsets. With 40 feet of beach frontage, the two-story, 5,800-squarefoot house has seven bedrooms and nine baths. The large, unusually well-equipped master suite consists
The Ladera Ranch News
of a lounge, fireplace, sauna and its own hair salon. In addition to beachformal living and dining areas, there is also a wood-beamed family room and a wet bar in the dining area which accommodates both indoor and outdoor entertaining. Possibly his all time favorite residence, which he built at age 75 and enjoyed with wife, family and
showbiz friends, Frank Sinatra’s Malibu beach house is for sale, asking $12.9 million. Listing agents are Leonard Rabinowitz and Jack Friedkin of Hilton & Hyland and Chris Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.

949. 610.6082 FINE HAND CRAFTED GAME TABLES & FURNITURE “The first time I saw Sean Woolsey’s ping pong table it was in his studio and I was struck by the craftsmanship and artistry. I feel the same way two years later. It is absolutely beautiful. The photos on his website don’t do it justice.” Fred Crim, Huntington Beach, CA At Sean Woolsey Studio we know that the only way to build really fine furniture is to use time-proven wood crafting techniques. Yet we use design technology and lasting coatings, glues, and other products of the 21st century. The creative process melds two eras yielding exquisite, select furnishings for home or office. Our standard is to not take short cuts used in mass production. We craft individual furniture pieces and game tables in the detail focused way of the past masters who have left a legacy. While a picture may be worth a thousand words there is nothing like seeing our pieces in person. Once you do, we believe it will be apparent there is a marked difference in quality and craftsmanship in a piece from Sean Woolsey Studio. So if you are considering acquiring something new and special to add to your home or office we welcome you to come see for yourself. You will walk away with a new appreciation of true craftsmanship.

HERE AND THERE IN THE WORLD OF WINE & FOOD
Happy wine drinker who love the desert in winter will gather at the 2nd annual Rancho Mirage Wine & Food Festival, Sat. Feb. 2. David Greer and Michele Graber were the merry bartenders for the “Big Dogs from Napa” holiday event at Meritage Wine Market in Encinitas. For those of you who are just joining our growing network of readers and viewers, every so often we sift through the in-box emails, texts and mail-ins for a number of eye catching bits of wine & food information that I love to pass along but are too short for a feature. We call it “Here and There in the Wine & Food World.”
BIG DOGS FROM NAPA SHOWCASE AT MERITAGE WINE MARKET
During the holiday season, Meritage Wine Market in Encinitas brought in the “Big Dog” wines from Napa for its regular Friday night wine soiree. 6 beauties were opened and the conversation flew about the merits of such luminaries as Cakebread, Caymus, Lewis and my favorite, Hourglass Estate 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon. ($195.) It’s a dark expression of black fruit, cassis and blackberry The wine bar presents, every Friday, tastings from 6 to 8pm as well as occasional classes and seminars with educator Michele Graber in a special cellar tasting room. Interested readers should visit meritagewinemarket. com.
WINE PREDICTIONS FOR 2019 Wine Spectator sent us over a roundup of Sommelier comments on wine trends and wines worth watching for, and wines to forget about. They answered: more bubbles, more New Zealand, more Napa Valley and better “natural” wine. More than a few wrote that there is an over supply of Rose’. Rose’s especially from California are over-produced with just about every winery making at least one. (Sounds
like what happened with Merlot!) Look for a Rose’ crash. Can’t come too soon for me. Out-of-the-way smaller locations in Italy, like Puglia in the south, are on the rise, since travel to the land of pasta, pizza and wine has increased. Minimal intervention in wines are more important. It makes no sense to tamper with wine’s natural flavors if the terroir, grapes and weather are the superior. More mature wines (aged) and more large bottle formats (magnums) are getting more popular as they become more affordable. Watch for nutrition information on wine labels, maybe not this year but they are coming. Spain and Portugal are ready to take off (similar to Italy, big hike in tourism). Great small producers from Tuscany, making Chianti Classico, are getting better and better, (he must have read my columns of 3 weeks ago), especially with 100% Sangiovese. People are becoming more adventurous with their wine choices, as restaurants and wine bars are also getting out of their comfort zone. So there it is….the future of wine in 2019. Go try something new!
DAVE FRASCHETTI, AND HIS CLASSIEST WINE FESTIVALS Dave Fraschetti is the lovable, big grinned producer of 2 wine-only annual festivals: The Rancho Mirage Wine & Food Festival, held in the
desert Saturday February 2 from 1 to 5pm now in its 2nd year; and the Vin Diego Wine & Food Festival at San Diego’s Waterfront Park from 3 to 7pm, Saturday April 13, now in its 7th year. Dave had just left the corporate world and without prior experience, wanted to put on a wine show, som6 6 years ago. He sat in my office, we drank wine and with his business sense and love of wine, I knew he could make it especially when he said “I want to put on a wine-only show….no beer, whiskey, or other hard stuff allowed. Winemakers want it that way and that’s what they’re gonna get.” He has top chefs come in plus lots of music for both of the shows. In the desert, he has special pre show dinners. For tickets, visit at ranchomiragewineandfoodfestival.

TOP PHILANTHROPISTS HONORED AT NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DAY Photos by: Tony Lattimore and Carla Rhea The 32nd Annual National Philanthropy Day Awards honored Orange County’s top philanthropists, business leaders and individuals with over 900 in attendance at City National Grove of Anaheim. Produced by the Orange County Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, National Philanthropy Day has become the most prominent philanthropic recognition event in Orange County, with more than 1,000 honorees since its inception in 1986. Hosting the heartwarming affair, which was themed, “Take Action! Create Change!” were PBS-So Cal’s Maria Hall-Brown and KTLA Channel 5’s Henry DiCarlo, with Jane Hansen and Jeanne Flint serving as event co-chairs. James and Suzanne Mellor, the 2017 Outstanding Philanthropists, served as honorary chairs, and the Judging Committee was headed by philanthropist Janet Ray and John Christiansen of Cornerstone Communications. Highlights included Outstanding Philanthropists Ling and Charlie Zhang’s thank-you remarks, when at the end, they both broke into a rousing rendition of “God Bless America,” which brought the entire room to its feet singing along. Outstanding Founder Michelle Wulfestieg brought tears to many guests’ eyes as she related how she had had a stroke at 11 years of age that disabled her for life. After she began a career in hospice at age 21, she wasn’t expected to survive her second stroke at 25. “Clearly,” she said, “I had more work to do.” She founded Southern California Hospice Foundation soon after to fill the gap of the needs of the terminally ill not covered by medical insurance. She is currently working on funding her Heavenly Home Project to create a loving home where hospice can be provided for those who have nowhere else to go. “A place where dignity and compassion reigns,’ she said. Lauren Best, the Outstanding Youth honoree, was honored for her work with special needs students at her high school and through Girl Scouts, where she founded one of the only troops for students with special needs in Southern California. She says, “I was able to address the social isolation experienced by students with special needs, and I realized that even as a young person, I have the ability to make the community a better place.” Best was presented $2,500 from AFP OC members by the organization’s president Elissa Oransky to be designated to two charities of the honoree’s choice. She chose Sonora High School’s Best Buds Club and Girl Scouts of Orange County. She was also presented a $1,000 check for her continuing development and education from the AFP-OC Scholarship Fund. The remaining awards included the Legacy Award, presented to the Ueberroth Family Foundation, represented by Ginny and Peter Ueberroth and their daughter Vicki Booth; Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser, Joe Hanauer; Outstanding Philanthropic Group, Orange County Bar Association Charitable Fund, represented by its President Michael Baroni and CEO/Executive Director Trudy Levindofske; Outstanding Small Business, Shulman Hodges & Bastain, represented by its partners Len Shulman, Ron Hodges and Jim Bastian; Outstanding Mid-Size Business, Service Champions Heating & Air Conditioning, represented by its Founder/Owner Leland Smith; and Outstanding Large Corporation, Bank of America, Orange represented by County Market President Allen Staff. All the honorees were presented with a beautifully crafted hand-blown glass heart sculpture, created by master glassblower John Barber of Laguna Beach. The effort netted $80,000 for the support of the ethical advancement of philanthropy in the community by the Orange County Chapter of AFP. National Philanthropy Day Orange County honors those who have demonstrated philanthropy and enhanced their communities and the world. Each year, more than 100 Association of Fundraising Professionals chapters throughout the US and Canada honor the philanthropic efforts of individuals, businesses and groups.

LOCAL GROWERS PROVIDE FRUIT FOR THE HUNGRY, HOMELESS, AND LOCAL CHARITIES
by Dave Farr At the beginning of the year 10 missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints gathered at a local Mission Viejo residence to pick their grapefruit tree. These elders and sisters serve anywhere from 18 months to 2 years talking to others about the church and giving valued community service. These service missionaries were from all over Alaska, Canada, South Carolina, Idaho, Utah, Kansas, Montana, Tennessee and even Germany. They gathered in their work clothes their name tags still pinned to their shirts to go to work picking fruit. One team picked the grapefruit tree while another team went to a local neighbor Dale and Judy Merrill to pick their lime, lemon and grapefruit tree. Both teams outfitted with safety glasses, gloves and fruit pickers. Some climbed the first tree to get at the top grapefruit like Sister Ann Pace nick named Spider Lady for her tree gymnastics. Others like Elder Levi Duval from Alaska and Spencer Olsen from Idaho helped box the precious edible fruit. Pat and Dave Farr of Mission Viejo noticed year after year their healthy bearing grapefruit, lemon and orange trees would drop much fruit that they couldn’t eat unused and wasted to the ground. Becoming aware of aware of the problem of hunger in the community they decided to do something about it. The Farr’s belong to their local Mission Vijeo 2nd Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and were able to involve their local service missionaries as indicated to pick their fruit and donate it. Their son Michael Farr would retrieve fruit boxes from local super markets and bring it to his parent’s house for picking their trees. The Farr’s also provided a fruit picker, safety glasses and gloves in having the missionaries be safe from injury. Mike would then deliver the filled boxes to South County and receive a donation receipt that the family could use as a tax deduction. From the Farr’s grapefruit tree alone the young people were able to pick 18 fruit boxes full of fruit weighing over 740 pounds. The Merrill’s trees also yielded 8 boxes weighing over 300 pounds of lime lemon and grapefruit. The young people also had fun chasing a box of fruit that rolled down the street when one of the full boxes broke. They scattered everywhere on the street trying to retrieve the fruit invoking much laughter and hilarity. The family also noticed that others in the neighborhood had surplus fruit which when approached these neighbors were willing to donate also. The missionaries also picked It is so
easy to organize a neighborhood fruit project in your own area which will give you a wonderful feeling of doing something really meaningful. The plan is to keep picking this fruit as it currently ripened. It would be so easy for any family in a local neighborhood to plan their own fruit picking project that would greatly benefit those in need. If you want to know more about their work just call Dave & Pat Farr 949-582-1852 or email djfarr@cox. net for their experience. Some surveys in Orange County have indicated that several thousand people in the county suffer some type of hunger during any given year. There are many food banks throughout the county that serve the homeless and the hungry. South County Outreach is one of those charities who helps the homeless and the hungry by following their mission statement “Preventing hunger and homelessness by helping people help themselves.’ In addition to helping people with employment, residential living and other essential services they have fed up to 2,000 families per month. In the last five years South County Outreach has distributed 4,526,461 of food to 36,216 clients. The oldest was 98 years old and the youngest 15 days. They have been sustained by generous business, school, church individual donations of money, food and other items to help their clients. Their contact information is 7 Whatney Suite B Irvine, CA 92618 949-380-8144. Here is a picture of four loyal South County Outreach employeesKasaleigh Burns-Lara Fisher-Paige Smith-Jacey Aldredge receiving the donations at their local warehouse Two local elders from the church Elders Ethan Pike and Kaleb Cox were there to help with the unloading of the fruit. One item they are in serious need of is nutritious fresh fruit. Every year thousands on thousands of pounds drop unused and wasted from fruit trees throughout the county. Wouldn’t you like to help South County and perhaps other charities to feed the hungry by picking your unused fruit and donating it a local food bank or other food charity? It is a shame and a loss to see all this health nutritious fruit go to waste. If you are unable to pick your fruit and see it delivered one families experience might be of help. This fruit picking project would build enormous character building opportunities for the families and other service personnel involved. Just think of involving your growing family members rendering such valued service to those in need.

CAN’T KEEP A RESOLUTION? OUTSIDE SUPPORT CAN HELP Holiday celebrations are a traditional way to cap off the year, but once the ball drops it’s time to usher in a new beginning with New Year’s resolutions. Each year, millions of Americans resolve to get in better shape and become healthier, better versions of themselves. But, unfortunately the vast majority don’t meet their goals. Less than a quarter of 1,000 people surveyed by YMCA of the USA kept their resolution in 2014. An overwhelming 71 percent said they tried but fell short, and 40 percent confessed that they made it through only a couple weeks or months. However, there’s hope for the coming year. One-third of survey respondents who plan to make a resolution in 2015 believe they’ll stick to it and reach their goals, with more than half believing that encouragement from others will keep them committed. Finding a supportive community can be beneficial in keeping resolutions on track. Organizations like your local Y offer a place to work out as well as opportunities to connect with others and give back to the community, which
can help foster more commitment to keeping resolutions. A positive outlook doesn’t always translate to action unless you set manageable goals and lean on the support of your health and wellness communities. Here are some tips to make a healthy New Year’s resolution stick: Start small. Set attainable resolutions. For example, if your goal is to exercise more frequently in the new year, don’t schedule seven days a week at the gym. Start with a reasonable three days a week. If you’d like to eat healthier, try replacing desserts with other foods you enjoy, such as fruit or yogurt. Take it one step at a time. Making a New Year’s resolution doesn’t require you to reassess every little detail of your life. Replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones takes time, so don’t become overwhelmed. Work to change one behavior at a time, and then go from there. Choose a facility that focuses on a holistic approach to health. When it comes to adding healthy behaviors - like working out - to your lifestyle, finding a facility that
keeps you motivated is critical to maintaining your exercise routine. Before committing to a membership, take a tour of local gyms to find the best fit for you. Your facility should not be just a gym, but a community organization that offers more health, more hope and more opportunity. Establish a little friendly competition. More than half of the Y survey respondents felt a little “healthy competition” when friends encouraged them to be even more committed to keeping their New Year’s resolutions. Share your experiences with support groups - friends, family, fellow workout class members or close colleagues. Talking about your
struggles and successes will make your goals more obtainable and less intimidating. Set New Year ’s goals with someone you love. It’s easier to stick to your resolutions if you have a partner working toward similar goals. More than three-fourths of survey respondents indicated that they would set the same resolution for a member of their immediate family. Team up with a family member to set your 2015 goals, and establish a game plan that is dedicated to achieving them. For more information on goalsetting for the new year, visit www. ymca.net/healthy-living.
CREATING CONFIDENCE: 8 STEPS TO FEELING MORE SELF-ASSURED
Virtually everyone struggles with a lack of self-confidence at some point in their lives and it’s perfectly normal to feel unsure of yourself in certain situations. However, if you find a lack of confidence is holding you back from fully enjoying your personal life, or achieving your professional goals, it may be time to take action. “There are actually steps you can take to rebuild your confidence, even when you’re struggling to feel self-assured,” says Susie Moore, a motivational speaker, best-selling author and life coach. “Confidence is a real-life super power that affects every aspect of your life, from your relationships to your career and social life, but it’s also more attainable than you think.” Moore shares tips on how you can be your most confident self and live a fulfilled, unconditional life: * Tap the power of words and positive thinking by starting every day with an uplifting mantra. Positive self-talk such as “I am loveable. I am worthy. I am enough” can help boost confidence levels. Make a conscious decision to be more kind and gentle with yourself every day. * Practice a strong pose and smile to help enhance your sense Page 16
of confidence. Confidence is all about attitude. Making these small physical changes can immediately impact how self-assured you feel in any situation. * Make self-care non-negotiable. Take time to listen to your body and give it what it needs to help you feel confident. For example, millions of men and women experience bladder leakage, but products like Depend FIT-FLEX Underwear, which are designed to move with your body while offering trusted protection, can help you think less about leaks. That’s energy you can devote to better things, like reconnecting with the people and parts of your life you’ve been missing. * Keep your mind and body active. Being busy leaves you little time to overthink, so fill your life with activities you enjoy. Yoga, visiting friends, reading, cooking, going for walks or even organizing your closet all count! * Speak with intention. The way you talk impacts your mood, your confidence and how other people perceive you. When you use verbiage like “I’ll try” or “I don’t think I can,” you’re really allowing yourself permission to feel unconfident.
The Ladera Ranch News
Instead, build confidence and commitment with statements like “I will” and “I know I can.” * Don’t overcomplicate things or allow yourself to be distracted by unimportant things. Focus on your daily objectives and long-term goals by cultivating a clear and positive vision of how you want your life to be. * Listen to, but don’t heed negative opinions of others. Your positive attitude and vision are more important than anyone else’s negative thoughts. * Be sure to reserve time and energy for your own priorities. Busy
lives mean we can get bogged down with commitments to others, and while those things are important, it’s vital to take care of yourself and your own priorities first. Build your schedule around the time you need for your own goals and let everything else fit in around that. “Confidence is an almost-magical quality that can help you lead your best, most fulfilled life and - more importantly - it’s in your grasp!” Moore says.
