Clean out Your Closets for Music Education for a choral fundraiser Glee Music Academy is asking the community to clean out their closets to help collect shoes, clothing, comforters and even stuffed animals to help purchase an over-sized enclosed trailer to transport their choral risers. Glee Music Academy is a local music school in Lake Forest that specializes in choral music for grades K-8. Glee Music Academy has partnered with Clothes for the Cause, a fundraising company that collects clothes to help non-profit organizations in the community. Susan Hopkey, the Southern California Regional Manager of Clothes for the Cause, reports that, “Since January 2016, Clothes for the Cause has given back over $2,000,000.00 to local organizations. Over 13 million pounds of textiles have stayed out of the nation’s landfills through recycling and re-purposing.” Clothes for the Cause makes it easy for everyone to contribute by not asking for money or for someone to buy something. Instead they partner with someone, like Glee Music Academy, to collect items that friends and neighbors already have in their houses such as clothes, shoes, purses, belts and household linens. All donated items are used; nothing is shredded. This is a great way to clean out your closets and in the process help Glee Music Academy turn unwanted clothes, shoes and other items into cash to fund a trailer to transport their choral risers to our community performances. Give to a local Glee Music Academy student in your community or drop of your donation bags to Glee Music Academy on Thursday, October 27th at 25 Spectrum Pointe Drive, Suite 406 in Lake Forest between 4:00-7:00pm.

Mens fall fashions for 2016 Story by: Nick Carvell Photos by: Indigital We know it’s still the height of summer, but it’s not long until the autumn/winter ‘16 collections start arriving in shops - so now’s the time to get organized. Here, we look back at the men’s shows at London Collections Men, and in Milan and Paris - and we’ve distilled everything the designers want to see us wearing this time next year into ten solid trends. Want to know the future of men’s fashion now? Read on for the top trends you need to master now for autumn (or, for the truly forwardthinking, spring/summer 2017). Invest in copper While there was a strong representation of your traditionally autumnal navies, blacks, greys and dark greens, the colour that really stood out at the shows was copper. Replenish your stocks of the rich, orangey-brown shade now. Layer-up with a knitted polo shirt If you’re not quite ready to start wearing your sweatshirt selection, try using a knitted polo shirt as a slightly lighter layer of insulation as the temperature dips. Across the catwalk we saw this item thrown casually over shirts and T-shirts, and slipped under slouchy, sporty suiting. At Bally they were even worn layered over fine-gauge rollnecks (toasty). For best results invest in two or three fine knit iterations in different solid colours with minimal branding for maximum versatility with your existing wardrobe. Embellished bombers The trend for bomber jackets shows no sign of abating anytime soon however, this season the item is going higher-end than ever. Not only did we see a whole swathe crafted out of luxurious velvets, leathers and wools, but many had rich embellishment work incorporated into the design. Whether its beautifully intricate hand embroidery or interesting badges sewn onto the surface, look out for a bomber with that extra detail this coming cold season. Duffle coats
For obvious reasons, the autumn shows are all about outerwear - and this season no coat shape was more popular than the duffle coat. Camel was the most popular colour to crop up, but there were plenty of designers giving their own design tweaks to the hooded toplayer, including extending the length or chopping the sleeves off (such as at Maison Margiela) or cutting it from plasticised material (such as Stuart Vevers at Coach). Neckerchiefs Forget about big wooly scarves, neckerchiefs are the new way to protect your neck this cold season. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we saw this trend more on the Paris catwalks, but there was plenty of representation in London and Milan too. To be bangon trend, look out for something in a cotton-silk mix busting with pattern and colour - or simply tie on a bandana and let its tails hang loose over your jumper. If you’re really committing to the look, invest in a woggle too - cub scout vibes just got cool. Silk ‘n’ shine High shine fabric was seen across the board at the A/W ‘16 shows. Silk shirts were perhaps the most obvious - and easiest - way to get on the trend (slip one on under a suit), but leather trousers and silken or nylon outerwear (such as the bombers and parkas at Ami) were also wellrepresented on the catwalks. Plump for clump Good news for any Blizzard Jonas sequels next year, shoes are going chunkier than ever. Whether you’re a loafer or a lace-up man, soles are thick, stacked and rubberised, with hiking boots set to be a seasonal essential (and worn with everything in your wardrobe from tailoring to tracksuit trousers). Detailing is also getting far bigger, with exploded buckles and fringing notable especially in Milan and Paris. Funnel necks While the current rollneck revival shows no sign of stopping, next season these will morph into funnel or slightly lower mock turtle necks (that’s a rollneck without the roll) in
either zip-up or slip-over form. Slide one under your new slouchy coat with jeans for max effect. Sleek slouchy trousers After season bubbling under the surface, hems are finally loosening up next season. And while only the bravest (and slimmest) of us will be able to slip on a pair of flares, looser wool trousers (wider at the thigh and foot) are seriously easy to wear. Even sleekest-of-the-sleek Hermes is going hard on the trend: the vast majority of the trouser they showed had an elasticated waist - even with tailoring. Pajama suits The logical conclusion of the silk shirt trend. There were definitely some bold versions of the matching pajama shirt and trousers on the catwalks, however we saw it styled in a supremely wearable way at Valentino with a black turtleneck slipped underneath, as well as at Dolce & Gabbana - so don’t rule it out. Hey, we were right about boiler suits...
The difference between style a n d f a s h i o n i s q u a l i t y. ~ Giorgio Ar mani

Easy Ways to Keep Your Pet Happy and Healthy For many people pets are a part of the family. Owning a pet is a rewarding experience, but also an important responsibility. Fortunately, there are preventative measures that can be taken to help keep pets healthy. Just like their human counterparts, pets are susceptible to bacteria and viruses both within and outside the home. There are some highly contagious and dangerous illnesses like parvovirus, canine influenza, rabies and adenovirus that pet owners should be aware of. This checklist from veterinarian and author Dr. Jessica Vogelsang will give pet owners the peace of mind they need to take care of their furry families, whether within the comfort of home or during a vet or kennel visit: Vaccinate – All dogs need to be vaccinated for parvo, distemper, rabies and adenovirus. Cats should be vaccinated for panleukopenia, calicivirus, feline herpes virus type I and rabies. Your veterinarian is the best guide in determining the timing of vaccinations for dogs, cats and other pets. Discover – Before fighting germs at home, you must first identify where those germs are living. Make a list of every place and every object your pet has been or touched. Be sure to think like a detective, too. If your canine counterpart enjoys drinking from the porcelain throne, be sure to add that to your list of culprits. Disinfect – To disinfect hard, nonporous surfaces and accessories like crates and toys, use Clorox Regular-Bleach on a regular basis. You can use a solution of one-half cup of bleach in one gallon of water. To eliminate the risk of infection from dangerous bacteria and diseases such as parvo, soak the items in the solution for 10 minutes, then rinse and air dry. Be informed – Germs can survive in certain
environments for a long time. This is especially true in spaces where pets are constantly coming in and out. Before dropping your beloved at the vet or a kennel, don’t be afraid to ask what measures they are taking to prevent the spread of germs. Make it routine – It’s important to always keep your pet’s health in check – from basic teeth cleanings that eliminate germs living in their mouth to monthly heartworm prevention medication to keep their hearts healthy.
“As a veterinarian, I know keeping pets happy and healthy is very important,” Vogelsang said. “Fortunately using Clorox Regular-Bleach can help prevent the spread of germs and viruses like parvo within both animal shelters and hospitals, as well as within your own home.” To find more simple tips for keeping your pets safe, visit Clorox.com.

Riding to Excellence - The Veredus Leading Jumper Awards Recognize Riders at Blenheim EquiSports Tina Yates, Claire Folmer, Hannah Loly, Melanie Brooks and Anna Moellenhoff Wrap Up the Outdoor Season Awards Photos by McCool Riders who excelled in the jumper ring earned extra recognition during the last two weeks of the outdoor Blenheim EquiSports show season through the new Veredus Leading Jumper Rider awards program. After all the points were tallied, riders from the Open, Junior, Amateur, Adult and Children’s divisions were presented with a Leading Rider Sash and a Veredus Horse Boots gift certificate. One rider even made history in the process - Tina Yates with her amazing double win, finishing clean and clear on two horses with the same jump-off time in the $30,000 Markel Insurance Grand Prix. And the Veredus Awards Go To... After an amazing two weeks of top notch competition, emerging professional Tina Yates garnered the Leading Professional Open Jumper Rider title after a thrilling and historic win in the $30,000 Markel Insurance Grand Prix at the Blenheim Fall Tournament, where Yates duplicated her score and time on both Bowmore VDL and Cicomein VDL, and by winning in the $30,000 Markel Insurance Grand Prix, presented by ACE Equestrian at the International Jumping Festival one week later. Now based in Wellington, Florida, Yates and her husband brought their horses to the West Coast for the fall season. They competed in Del Mar and are heading to the National Sunshine Series in Thermal, then will wrap up their tour at The Las Vegas National. Melanie Brooks and Hannah Loly, each took home a Veredus Leading Jumper Rider title from the Blenheim EquiSports Fall Series. The motherdaughter team from Rancho Santa

“She has been riding in the Markel classes as practice for the “B” Team of young riders for next year. So that’s her goal: “B” Team and then “A” team. She is very motivated.” Congratulations to Anna Moellenhoff, the winner of TWO Leading Riders Awards during the International Jumping Festival. Moellenhoff received the Veredus Leading Children’s Jumper Award after earning multiple ribbons and wins in the Children’s Jumpers, including the Classic at the Blenheim Fall Tournament. She also won the Romfh Leading Children’s Hunter Rider award. And congratulations to Claire Follmer who earned the Veredus Leading Amateur/Owner Jumper Title. Follmer’s numerous placings throughout both weeks of competition in the 1.30m Junior-Amateur/Owner Jumpers ultimately secured the award. Her trainer, Tasha Visokay, said that the award came as a surprise, since they tend not to track points and instead try to just focus on consistency. So winning the award was truly icing on the cake after a great two weeks! The Veredus Leading Jumper Riders - Ride to Excellence!

Eagles Fall to the Braves, Shift Focus to JSerra Showdown Despite trailing by only 10 points at halftime, St. John Bosco’s offense came to life in the second half to beat Santa Margarita
Sophomore Mase Funa closed out the half after a Bosco fumble recovery and return of 16 yards. By: Sean Zeitler Photos by: Robert Russell In a stark contrast to their game against Mater Dei, Santa Margarita (4-3, 0-2) looked like a different team in the first half against California’s number two ranked team, St. John Bosco. Against the Monarchs, Santa Margarita trailed 28-0 at the end of the first quarter and 56-0 at the half. Last Friday, Santa Margarita defense looked poised, confident and disciplined as they held the Braves scoreless in the first quarter and gave up only 13 second quarter points before heading into the locker room trailing 13-3. Despite scoring on their first offensive drive of the second half, Santa Margarita would give up 34 second half points and ultimately fall to the Braves, 47-10. Santa Margarita’s offense had trouble finding a rhythm despite several quality drives that were hampered by penalties. Senior quarterback Richard Wagner completed 17 of 32 passes (53%) for 165 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. On the receiving end of that touchdown was senior wideout Giulio Pozzuoli, who finished his night with two receptions for 38.

London Calling: Laura’s House Gala Raises More Than $650,000
The Ladera Ranch News
Urban Decay Co-Founder Wende Zomnir with Laura’s House Board President Laura Khouri and Laura’s House CEO and Executive Director Photos by Ann Chatillon Margaret Bayston A “brilliant” evening of celebration and solidarity under the proud gaze of the Union Jack as more than 300 guests gathered at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach for the 22nd annual Laura’s House gala. British fashion, style and music, complete with a Mick Jagger impersonator, filled the venue in support of the domestic violence nonprofit as its ‘British Invasion’ themed gala raised more than $650,000 for domestic violence victims with emergency shelter, community programs, legal advocacy services and more. “Laura’s House is tremendously proud to have served more than 50,000 victims of domestic violence and their families over the past 22 years,” said Margaret Bayston, Laura’s House CEO and executive director. “By continuing to share our message, provide a lifeline to families and with the continued support of our incredible community of backers, we will one day live in a world where domestic violence does not exist.” Kicking off the program, a poignant video highlighting the tireless work of Laura’s House volunteers, who contribute 16,000 hours annually, was shown. Since their founding, Laura’s House has always relied on the help and support of amazing volunteers. They celebrated and thanked them for their amazing contributions to the organization by highlighting a few of the volunteer roles and showed how volunteers tremendously benefit the Chanelle Jacobson, with Healing Sanctuary Founder Pam Jacobson organization. and Karen Noblette One of the evening’s most powerful moments was Karen Stine’s personal story of survival. Marrying the man of her dreams at 18, Stine endured manipulation, violence and abuse for eight years – until a violent episode led her to find strength. With the help of co-workers, Stine left her husband and rebuilt a life free of his control. She now works as a grants and contract administrator for Laura’s House, and continually encourages others to live violence-free lives. She recently celebrated 18 years of service with the nonprofit. During the program, two Laura’s House supporters were recognized for their contributions to the nonprofit. This year’s Corporate Crystal Heart Award was accepted by Urban Decay Cosmetics Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Wende Zomnir. The prestige cosmetics brand headquartered in Newport Beach is a dedicated Laura’s House partner. In 2015, Urban Decay Cosmetics donated $50,000 to the nonprofit as a part of its Ultraviolet Edge initiative to empower women and to encourage them to be unique. Zomnir declared another significant contribution to Laura’s House in 2016. Pam Jacobson, founder The Healing Sanctuary, was honored with the 2016 Crystal Heart Award for her company’s unwavering support and service to Laura’s House. The Healing Sanctuary focuses on the rejuvenation of the body, mind and spirit and provides a multitude of pro bono services to Laura’s House staff, including yoga, stress management and self-care Laura’s House Board President Mark Williams with Fiance and education. These valuable services are then taught by Laura’s House staff to Laura Khouri and Michael Hayde Survivor Speaker, Karen Stine domestic violence victims so they can find hope and healing as they rebuild violence-free lives. “This annual event is so important each year, and helps Laura’s House sustain its life-changing programs for families affected by abuse,” said Laura’s House Board President Laura Khouri. “Unfortunately, the statistics are staggering, and nearly 12 million women and men annually continue to be victims, but together, we can stand against domestic violence.” Before the inspiring program, guests celebrated with British cocktails, classic rock ‘n’ roll tunes and a silent auction display filled with luxury experiences and items. Following another successful gala, Laura’s House will continue its important work – as a lifeline to domestic violence victims – throughout October to commemorate domestic violence awareness month. The mission of Laura’s House is to change the social beliefs, attitudes and the behaviors that perpetuate domestic violence while creating a safe space to empower individuals and families affected by abuse. Over the past 22 years, Laura’s House has provided shelter and support services to nearly 5,000 abused men, women and children and 24-hour crisis intervention, counseling, life skills education, and legal assistance to nearly 52,000 people.

HALLOWEEN WITH HARRY POTTER! PACIFIC SYMPHONY CELEBRATES THE MUCH-LOVED HOLIDAY Hop on the Hogwarts Express! Young Witches, Wizards and Muggles unite as they find themselves transported to the fantastical world of Harry Potter, when Pacific Symphony’s Family Musical Mornings series returns just in time for Halloween. Featuring the beloved music of John Williams and more, this concert event is the perfect way to get a jump on Halloween (all are invited to come in costume!). Conjuring up this magical world are selections from the movie, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”—including “Hedwig’s Theme,” “Harry’s Wondrous World” and “Nimbus 2000”—and yet more other-worldly music. Hosting the 45-minute musical extravaganza designed especially for kids 5-11 is the wondrous wizard, Assistant Conductor Roger Kalia, who, along with actors and a magician, takes the audience on an enchanting journey filled with symphonic sorcery. “The Magic and Music of Harry Potter” takes place on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Come early or stay late and join in the fun at the interactive Musical Carnival, where kids can test drive a musical instrument, meet the performers and enjoy musical arts and crafts activities themed to the morning’s concert. Activities begin at 9 a.m. for 10 a.m. concertgoers and 12:15 p.m. for 11:30 a.m. concertgoers. Family Musical Mornings season-ticket packages are $60-$160; single tickets are $15-$40. For more information or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. “I respect J.K. Rowling immensely,” says Maestro Kalia, “and I can understand why the movies and books are so appealing to people all over the world. I absolutely adore the music of ‘Harry Potter.’ John Williams did an amazing job of capturing the moods and excitement of the movie plotlines and all of the characters. And since Halloween is only a few days after this concert, we are also going to perform works by Berlioz, Bach, Daugherty and Saint-Saëns to put the audience in the holiday mood. “Halloween lends itself to exciting concerts with everyone dressing up in costume, including our musicians, who always have a great time on this concert every season. I’m always amazed at how the costumes inspire great music making. The concert hall will be transformed into a world with wizards, witches and magical creatures! I encourage everyone to wear their favorite Halloween costume!” This exciting return to the world of magic and wizardry through the music of John Williams’ magnificent scores from the “Harry Potter” series also includes other music perfect for Halloween: Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre,” Hector Berlioz’s “March to the Scaffold” from “Symphonie Fantastique,” Michael Daugherty’s “Red Cape Tango” from the “Metropolis Symphony” and Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Tocatta y Fuga.” The concert spotlights the brass family of instruments as audience members learn how the families of instruments work together, similarly to the four houses at Hogwarts! “The basic premise of our show is that the power and magic of music will be able to save us from a new Dark Wizard,” says Kalia. “My baton will become a magic wand during the concert and Page 14
we’ll have a magician joining us, who will perform a variety of magic during some of our musical selections.” For those who need reminded of the literary sensation that sparked a new love for reading in many children and adults alike… J.K. Rowling’s popular children’s novels (which were later adapted into big blockbuster films) began with “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” a story about a boy who learns on his 11th birthday that he is the orphaned son of two powerful wizards and possesses unique magical powers of his own. He escapes his life as an unwanted child and becomes a student at Hogwarts, a Scottish boarding school for witches and wizards from around the U.K. There, he meets two friends who become his closest allies and help him discover the truth about his parents’ mysterious deaths. Since that first book, Harry has been through a lot with his two best pals, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. There has been adventure, heartbreak and even death, all the elements that have shaped Harry into the man he needs to be to face the dark and evil wizard, Lord Voldemort. “I think audiences are able to connect with these characters,” says Kalia. “Rowling has the special ability to create unique personalities for each character that audiences can relate to. Likewise, “Rowling has made the ‘magic’ within her novels so believable. I feel that magic has become such a significant part of people’s lives, and the idea that anything is possible.” The Symphony’s storyline takes place after the seventh novel and has Harry Potter sending Hogwarts music professor, Joseph Weasley, to Maestro Kalia and Pacific Symphony to stop a new, immerging dark wizard whose goal is to rid the world of the magic of music! Helping them

do battle against the evil entity is Hogwarts’ student Lucy Hufflepuff (played by 13-year-old Charlotte Rubino, 8th grade student at Orange County School of the Arts in the Musical Theater Conservatory), in her seventh performance with the Symphony. Playing the part of Weasley and adding to the spectacle is illusionist Joseph Réohm (first-season winner on the television series “Wizard Wars”), who confounds and transfixes with his wizardly abilities! Ronald M. Banks—the Percussionater in the 2015 Family concert “Superheroes!” and the voice of Quan Chi in the video game, “Mortal Kombat X”—returns to his villainous roots with the Symphony in his role as the Dark Wizard. Serving as director and scriptwriter is Symphony favorite, Joe Lauderdale, who most recently took part in last season’s “Symphony in Space.” The “Harry Potter” book and film series are one of those once-in-a-lifetime cultural phenomena that continue to delight millions of fans around the world—and now audiences will be able to relive the magic through the music that’s been sparking imaginations for years. From the first note, the innovative, colorful music engages and creates a special concert that comes to life with extraordinary music. The dominant theme closely identified with and used in all of the “Harry Potter” films is titled “Hedwig’s Theme,” even though it doesn’t always specifically represent the character, Hedwig, but rather the wider idea of magic and the wizarding world. Of all of the music from the movies, the concert suite for “Hedwig’s Theme” is the most frequently performed by musicians and ensembles. But all of the music performed during “The Magic and Music of Harry Potter” is sure to sound familiar—even to many young ears.

New generation of American workers seek to combine personal and professional interests When college students graduate and begin the job search, their career decisions won’t be driven by the same factors that drove their parents’ decisions. While baby boomers tended to focus on the vertical climb to find job happiness, today’s graduates and professionals want meaningful and challenging work that satisfies them personally. Despite the turbulent economy, 68 percent of working Americans would be willing to take a salary cut to work in a job that allowed them to apply their personal interests to the workplace, a recent survey released by Philips North America found. Almost one quarter of workers would take a pay cut of 25 percent or more. “Today’s professionals expect more from their careers than just a paycheck,” says Tanveer Naseer, a leadership coach who helps
companies guide organizational growth and development. “They’re looking for challenge, impact and an employer who is committed to helping them achieve their goals.” This new set of demands from employees is driving change in corporations throughout America. Philips, for example, which employs 116,000 people globally, is looking for more ways to help its employees apply their personal interests and ideas to their work. “We’ve found that employees want a company that supports and rewards what matters to them personally,” says Dana Stocks, Philips North America Chief Human Resources Officer. “Recognizing our employees are people with real passions leads to better product innovation, ultimately improving people’s lives and the communities they live in.” So how do graduates or professionals entering the job market find employers and roles that are a good fit and will deliver job satisfaction? Here are a few tips: 1. Look for a job that allows you to
leverage personal interests in your work. Most Americans, regardless of their career stage, believe that applying personal interests in a career would make them happier. Naseer says people often find jobs that play to their strengths - but an employee’s strengths may not align with his interests. This disconnect can result in employees feeling overworked and underutilized as they’re building skills for which they have no passion. 2. Use your resume as a tool to reflect yourself as a person, not just a potential employee. Social resumes provide the opportunity for job seekers to express themselves beyond educational credentials and a laundry list of responsibilities they’ve taken on in the workplace. Your employer isn’t hiring the resume; they are hiring you as a person. Use your resume to help them feel connected to you as a person. -Include assets such as video interviews on relevant topics, thought leadership presentations, or links to blogs and social media sites that you maintain.
3. Know yourself first, and submit your application second. Many job seekers apply to too many jobs without truly understanding their qualification levels or fit for each. Take the time to understand yourself, your story, the intersection of your personal and professional passions, and formulate a short list of jobs that align. By focusing on the quality versus the quantity of your applications, you have a better chance of making the “right” career choice vs. the “right now” career choice. When job seekers find the right roles that allow them to pursue their individual aspirations within the context of their professional careers, it’s a win for both the individual and the organization. - (BPT)
