Mischievous twists on your family’s favorite Halloween tricks and treats When Halloween rolls around, ghosts and goblins roam the streets. With surprise creatures popping out of coffins and silly, spooky pranks around the neighborhood, it is truly the most mischievous time of year. Halloween is full of family fun, and this year you can jump start the celebration well before Oct. 31. Here are some ideas to help your family really get in the spooky, playful spirit this fall. * Share your best scare: Halloween is all about spooky stories and scary movies. Who hasn’t sat around a campfire or in the basement with a flashlight to share their creepiest tales? This year, invite your family and friends over and light a fire in the fireplace for some good old fashioned Halloween storytelling. Think you’ve got the most bone-chilling tale? Take the fun online and use the hashtag #Cheetales to enter the Tiny Tales of Terror Twitter Challenge. Just tweet your spookiest tale in 140 characters or less, for a chance to have your story turned into a short video posted on Chester Cheetah’s Twitter page. See rules for additional details at CheetosHalloween.com. * Haunt your own house - If there
aren’t many haunted houses in your community, why not create your own? Set up a haunted walk through your backyard and ask your friends to dress up as the spooky characters that will jump out at visitors. Or find an open event hall or barn that isn’t in use during the month of October and ask if you can turn the space into a community-run haunted house. Make the space family-friendly by planning fun fall activities during the day and when the sun sets, bring the more mischievous ghouls out to play. * Prank playfully - If you’re hosting a Halloween party this year, dial-up the fun by serving guests goblets filled with mysterious red-colored beverages. Tempt them to try severed-finger cookies. And if you’re in the mood to really play with your food, serve-up the new limited-edition Cheetos Bag of Bones. Each bag is filled with a variety of skeleton-shaped snacks like skulls, ribcages, bones and paws that you can use to build your own edible skeleton. They’re covered in white cheddar seasoning to complete the ghostly look. Once the party is in full-swing, encourage guests to get involved in pranking the neighbors with a little TP
trick - digitally, of course. Visit www. CheetosHalloween.com to enter the street address of the location you want to virtually target with toilet paper. Upon completing your online TP challenge, you will be entered into a weekly sweepstakes for a chance to win gift cards or cash prizes, up to $1,000. See rules on the site for additional details. * Dine on dangerous delights - Keep the Halloween fun going strong with a dinner everyone will be sure to remember. There are many scary - but yummy - dishes you can create. For example, carve faces
into bell peppers, remove their tops and insides, and then stuff them with spaghetti noodles and let some hang out as brains. Mix your favorite spaghetti topping inside the pepper and you’ll have a fun meal that’s ready to go. Serve a side dish of peeled grapes or olives as eyeballs and graveyard dirt dessert made of crumbled cookies and chocolate pudding. Let the Halloween fun begin.

Laura’s House Experts Present Innovative Programs for both Adults and Teens At Leading National Domestic Violence Conference
Jennifer Ponce, manager of the Laura’s House Prevention and Education Department. Experts from the prominent Southern California domestic violence nonprofit Laura’s House recently presented two promising programs at the eighth biennial National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence (NCHDV), which focused on the intersections of health along with domestic and sexual violence. Adam Dodge, Laura’s House legal director, and Amanda Thoreson, clinical coordinator, of the Laura’s House legal team, presented an innovative anxiety-reduction therapy program to address the mental health needs of survivors who must face their abusers during restraining order hearings. To alleviate their emotional and mental distress, the Laura’s House legal team has woven proven anxiety-reduction techniques into its client preparation protocol, including deep breathing, grounding, tapping, Page 4
and guided meditation facilitated by the app Headspace, which generously donated subscriptions valued at $54,000 to Laura’s House clients. Based on a survey of 54 clients, more than half reported decreased anxiety in the courthouse setting. Jennifer Ponce, manager of the Laura’s House Prevention and Education Department, presented Healthy Emotions & Attitudes in Relationships Today (H.E.A.R.T), an interactive program created to prevent adolescent dating abuse and bullying. In 2016, Laura’s House staff presented 204 workshops to 11,500 teens at schools, congregations, civic organizations and clubs throughout Orange County and surrounding Southern California counties. The H.E.A.R.T. program also includes a website providing teens with easyto-access information, resources
The Ladera Ranch News
Adam Dodge, Laura’s House legal director and referrals to encourage healthy relationships. Additionally, the website provides support to those currently in abusive relationships and connects them through the Heart Chat Line (email) and the Heart Health Line (phone/skype) to experienced domestic violence advocates and professional therapists. The successful program has been growing in size each year. Laura’s House expects to reach an increased number of teens in the upcoming years as Governor Jerry Brown signed bill AB 643 on Oct. 7, which adds instruction on recognizing early warning signs of abusive relationships to sexual health education at California public schools for grades 7-12. Hosted every two years, the NCHDV unites more than 1,200 medical, public health and family violence experts from across the
U.S and aims to advance the health care system’s response to domestic violence by introducing the most recent research and promising clinical, advocacy and public health responses to domestic and sexual violence. About Laura’s House 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 23 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 55,000 people. Connect with Laura’s House on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

T h e c o s t u m e s , t h e c a n d y, the creative pumpkin carvings Halloween has been steadily increasing in popularity, with the spooky holiday spend being second only to Christmas. The National Retail Federation says the number of people buying sweet treats for Halloween actually beats out Easter.

Witches hat ring toss Want a simple game to keep kids occupied before and after
trick-or-treating? Here’s an easy and affordable game that will keep them laughing for hours. Set up a Halloween-themed ring toss game by using witches hats on the ground instead of pins, and give them orange rings to toss over the hats. Trick-or-treat safety Keeping kids safe while trick-ortreating is a major concern for any parent celebrating Halloween with the family.

With a few easy steps, your Halloween party can be transformed into a ghoulish get-together that everyone will enjoy. - (BPT)

New ideas to bring your Halloween decor back from the dead Halloween has its fair share of iconic symbols: ghosts, witches, mummies and pumpkins, just to name a few. But if your home decor is becoming just as iconic, it may be time to change it up and take your decorating in a new direction. There are many directions you can go with a decoration theme. Certainly, the colors of black and orange can be integrated into the decor with the use of pumpkins or candles; these items still scream Halloween and can be displayed elegantly. Gary LaVasser, academic director
in Set & Exhibit Design at The Art Institute of California - Hollywood, a campus of Argosy University, says that while everyone thinks of orange and black, consider the combination of dark red and black. At Halloween, any time black is used it represents scariness. Similarly, the dark red can be symbolic of blood. “For a more sophisticated look, combine dark red arrangements of roses, cover them in black hat veiling so you see the roses through the veil and tie them together with black satin ribbon,” he suggests. “If you want to go a little further, place
the arrangement on an inexpensive black placemat and drip dark red nail polish from a few rose petals onto the placemat. It will look like the roses are bleeding.” LaVasser also has these tips for alternative but sophisticated Halloween decor: * Use vintage Halloween toys from the 1930s, 40s or 50s as part of the design. If they are worn they’ll have more character. Combine them with garlands of silk fall leaves available at most craft stores, tree branches or wheat and place on mantels or dining tables. * Paint objects black that normally are not this color. For example, jack-o-lanterns are orange so spray them black for a twist on a familiar item. Also consider painting real flowers black. To make objects more interesting, select different black textures such as matte, glitter, satin, gloss or metallic paints. * The colors of fall are rich earth tones and these colors are also tied to Halloween. Add a little “punch” by using a deep purple color - it can be an interesting contrast to oranges and gold tones. Also consider using

Santa margarita and St. John Bosco shocker 40-38 The Santa Margarita Eagles take on California’s third ranked team St. John Bosco By: Sean Zeitler Photos by: Robert Russell If a poll was taken prior to the game, there wouldn’t have been too many votes from the media that would have picked the Santa Margarita Santa Margarita Eagles to beat the third ranked team in California. If that same poll would have been taken in the Eagle football offices, the results would have been far different. While the end result was a 40-38 loss, heads are beginning to turn and people are now taking notice of this Eagle football program and just how good they have become so quickly. This team is playing with more confidence than we have seen in years and the end product is being seen on the field. The culture has shifted and there isn’t a game the Santa Margarita Eagles go into that they don’t think they should win, and this was never more evident than last Friday night at El Camino College. Santa Margarita would jump out to a quick 14-0 lead in the first quarter before trailing 23-14 going into halftime. The Santa Margarita Eagles outscores the Braves in the second half 24-17, but being outscored 9-0 in the second quarter proved to be the difference. Senior quarterback Josiah Norwood completed 18 of 25 passes (72%) for 225 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. After being sidelined for a short period, senior quarterback Hunter Cifuentes would enter the game and was effective during his cameo, completing three of five passes and rushing twice with a touchdown. After coming back in the game, Norwood would end up being the leading rusher for the Santa Margarita Eagles on the night, carrying the ball 20 times for 97 yards (4.9 average) and a touchdown. Senior Chad Magyar had a season high in receiving yards with 136 on nine catches, one of which went for 76 yards. Senior Mark Eaton also effective, had five catches for 61 yards. Offensively, the Santa Margarita Eagles had five touchdowns by five different Santa Margarita Eagles; Cifuentes, Magyar and Norwood all rushed for one, with Johnny McCartan and Chase Nenad hauling in receiving touchdowns. Page 10
Johnny McCartan and teammates celebrate in the end zone after the Santa Margarita Eagles strike first. Defensively, the Santa Margarita Eagle secondary struggled against a high-powered Braves offense, giving up 405 receiving yards. However, the Santa Margarita Eagles kept Bosco to under 100 rushing yards, the same Braves team that rushed for 125 yards against Mater Dei, 278 yards against Chaminade, and 305 yards against Orange Lutheran. Senior linebacker Caden Fitch had one of his most impressive games with 16 total tackles, Sean Toohey had 11, and Jake Delaney had nine. McCartan (1.5), Delaney (1.0), and Coach Fisher and his captains look out to the field before the start Billy Oberholtzer (.5) all got in on sacks. Senior lacrosse standout of the game. Quentin Buchman snagged his second interception of the season. Dylan Brady was five of five on extra points and one of two on field goals (38 yards). Tonight’s game against JSerra has turned into one of the better matchups between the Lions and the Santa Margarita Eagles. JSerra comes into tonight’s game with a record of 7-1 and 2-1 in league with wins over Servite and Orange Lutheran and their only league loss against Mater Dei, 45-3. This game will be streaming on the Fox Sports Go app Senior quarterback Josiah Malone Mataele returns a punt with kickoff set for 7:00pm. Norwood. during last week’s game.

Meet Tesoro Titans Head Football Coach, Matt Poston
Tesoro Head Coach Matt Poston Story by: Sean Lindgren Photos by: Cindy Williams Coach Matt Poston first came to Tesoro High School when the school opened in 2001. He was hired as a mathematics teacher, and served as the Head Freshman Football Coach for the next 6 years, and his teams overall record was 54-6 winning their league every year but once. In 2007, Coach Poston was promoted to Varsity defensive coordinator and held that position for three years. During that period the Titans were 2510 and won the South coast League twice. In 2008, the Tesoro Titans had a remarkable season going 13-1 and eventually lost to Long Beach Poly in the CIF championship. In 2010, Coach Poston left Tesoro to become the Head Football Coach at Capistrano Valley High School. But when the Tesoro head Football coach position came open in 2013, Coach Poston felt it was time to return “home” to the school and program he had helped build for nine years. In the past 4 seasons under Coach Poston’s lead the Titans have gone 32-15 and finished ranked in Orange County Top 10 three times. He is extremely excited to be leading this very accomplished football program. While the Tesoro Titans football team had a bye this week, we were able to ask the Titans Head Coach Matt Poston a few questions. Q: What do you look for in a high school football player? A: I think all coaches want to work with players that truly want to be the best that they can be, who are committed, and are selfless in pursuit of the good of the team. When I think back about all of the very best players at Tesoro they all had these characteristics. It isn’t easy to be a high school football player. We tell
our kids this all of the time. It’s a takes a huge commitment and lots of hard work but in my opinion being part of a high school football team is something extremely special that you’ll take with you for the rest of your life. It’s also not easy to be selfless as it seems in today’s society it is all about me, me, me. Players need to understand that they are a single part of the big picture and really understand what their role is Q: Football is a team sport that requires a unified coaching staff to drive home a strong team philosophy. Can you share your approach and message such as popular sayings or mottos within the program? A: I have been extremely fortunate in my coaching career to work with some amazingly talented men on our staff. Great coaches are hard to find. I look for people who want to give back some of what they game has given them, coaches that can really teach the game, and men who want to work together to make the program as successful as possible. The mission statement of Tesoro Football is “To build and maintain a highly competitive football program which fosters the development of the “whole” player. We strive to impact young people’s character, academics, and athletic development in a team atmosphere. Our purpose is that players will leave Tesoro Football ready to achieve excellence in life.” As you can see the football component is only a small part of what we feel our purpose in this program is. Our mantra is “Be Great Now” which is a simple way to say that we are looking to achieve greatness in everything that we do all of the time. Q: What are your favorite moments or Titan memories in your time at Tesoro? A: Gosh, there are so many it’s hard to choose. Back in the early days watching our program win it’s very first CIF title was cool (2004), and then playing in Anaheim Stadium against LB Poly for the CIF championship (2008) was awesome. There’s also the great individual games that are a thrill like just this year when we drove the entire field in under a minute to score on a Chase Petersen to John Cody touchdown to win a game over a very talented Los Alamitos team. Q: What makes Tesoro Football different from other football programs? A: Being in southern Orange
County we sit in an extremely competitive area for high school football. I think one of the things that makes our program different is that we are truly about the players here. Everything that we do, every decision that we make is player focused. Also, game nights at Tesoro High School are special. Our stands are always packed and we get tremendous support from the Tesoro students, faculty, parents, and community. Q: In what ways does Tesoro Football promote excellence and success off the field? A: Well, as you saw in our mission statement earlier we take great pride in helping our players be successful academically and develop their character as well. Academically we have a saying that our athletes know very well, Academics = Opportunities. The math teacher in me came up with this simple equation because it gets a point across that almost all young people can understand. You may not know what you want to do with your life but everyone can realize that you want to have as many opportunities as possible. The higher you perform academically, the more
opportunities you’ll have. From a character perspective we implement life lessons whenever possible. We do things like discussing player’s strengths & weaknesses, discussing older players the kids admire and why do they admire them, and even simple things like shaking someone’s hand properly while maintaining eye contact. You can learn things by being part of the football program that you can’t get in a Math, English, or Science class. Q: What do you like to do in your time away from football? A: I am extremely fortunate to have a family that is so supportive of me and what I do for a living as a teacher/coach. In my time away from football I enjoy being a husband and dad. I enjoy date nights with my wife, hanging out with family friends, and watching both of my kids compete in their various areas of athletics. My son (13) plays both basketball and baseball, and my daughter (11) plays both soccer and volleyball. If we aren’t at a game or practice of theirs then we’ll probably be doing something else as a family. To me, family is extremely important.

Crystal Cove Soiree Celebrates Fundraising in Fabulous Setting raising over $1 million The Crystal Cove Conservancy hosted an evening under the stars, complete with breath-taking sunset views and an elegant dinner to a soldout crowd who raised $467,497 net at The Resort at Pelican Hill for the 15th Annual Crystal Cove Soiree. Funds raised at the Soiree will support important education programs to help create the next generation of environmental stewards. The Conservancy uses a social enterprise model to fund preservation, conservation and education initiatives with the goal of creating a sustainable future for Crystal Cove State Park. The Conservancy has become a statewide model for how funds can be reinvested into the park. The Soiree began at sunset with an al fresco cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction. The Resort at Pelican Hill donated the hors d’oeuvres as well as the delectable dinner duo of filet mignon and Maine lobster. Guests had opportunities to purchase fabulous luxury silent as well as supported fund-a-need, to help with student scholarships for important STEM programs (science, technology, engineering and math). When the live auction took place, it was a bidding war between many attending. Some of the live auction items that folks were privy to were a Pappy Van Winkle 15-year old bourbon package; Telluride Luxury Condo for Ski Week 2018 that included a one week stay for six at the Fairmont Franz Klammer Private Residence Club in Telluride; a Two-night stay for six in a luxury three-bedroom villa at The Resort at Pelican Hill overlooking Crystal Cove State Park; three glorious weekend nights for six in restored Cottage #14, The South Beach Suite, with an oceanfront view; a beautiful Winston’s Crown Jewelers Pearl Necklace and many more. In an opportunity drawing, Lili McGraw won a three-night stay in the beachfront Crystal Cove Cottage #14, and David and Karen Lagrew won the Bin Drop trip to Cabo to stay at Casa Tequila for 3 nights and 4 days. Live music and dancing to Super Diamond, the popular Neil Diamond tribute band, rounded out the evening getting everyone up on the dance floor. Laura Davick, Founder and Vice President of the Conservancy, noted, “Our community has been so supportive since the earliest days, when we fought hard to keep our Cove from becoming a luxury resort. Instead, Crystal Cove is on the National Registry of Historic Places, is one of California’s newest Historical Landmarks, and is arguably the region’s singular, unchanged place in the sun. More than 25,000 overnight guests enjoy our 29 cottages already restored and we believe the community will continue to support our largest preservation initiative to date, to renovate the final 17 cottages on the North Beach that will bring true sustainability to Crystal Cove for future generations.” Crystal Cove Conservancy is the nonprofit public benefit partner to Crystal Cove State Park, employing a social enterprise model to fund important preservation, education and conservation initiatives that will cultivate our planet’s next generation of environmental stewards ensuring that Crystal Cove, and places like it, live on for generations. The Conservancy, formerly known as Crystal Cove Alliance, was founded in 1999 by Laura Davick to save Crystal Cove Historic District from being developed into a luxury resort property. The Conservancy works in partnership with California State Parks to provide stewardship support for Crystal Cove’s nearly 2,800 acres of public lands including: The Crystal Cove Historic District and beach cottages (a National Register of Historic Places site); 2,400 acres of pristine wilderness habitat and the unspoiled Moro Canyon watershed (a National Natural Landmark site); over three miles of rocky beach coastline and intertidal habitat; 400 acres of coastal bluff habitat; and special underwater and offshore areas including the Crystal Cove State Marine Conservation Area MPA. By being a stewardship partner for this Southern California jewel, the Conservancy has been uniquely positioned to develop a nationally recognized STEM education program that uses authentic field science and monitoring to immerse students and community members in the practice of conservation and open space management.

Circuit Awards Presented to Top Competitors from the 2017 Blenheim EquiSports Show Season
Photos by McCool New in 2017, upon the conclusion of the International Jumping Festival, the Blenheim Circuit Awards were presented to riders who accumulated the most points in their respective Classics over the course of the Blenheim EquiSports competitions in the 2017 outdoor show season. In total, nine awards and championship prizes were presented. Tara Brown Stocks is on the award recipient list once again! Not only did she pick up a Veredus Series award, but with an incredible 105 total points, her quick and consistent rides on High Hopes in the Adult Jumper Classics throughout the season earned the pair another recognition: the AA Platinum Adult Jumper Classic Series Circuit Award. Brown Stocks received a certificate for an AA Platinum Motion Lite Show Jacket and circuit champion ribbon. Racing into the lead in the Electronic Vet (eVet) 1.40m Junior/Amateur Owner Jumper Classics, Emma Waldfogel and her mount Bowmore VDL are honored to win a circuit championship this year with a total of 48 points. Waldfogel spoke of her win, “I am lucky to have such a wonderful horse, and I am so excited that he’s being recognized! Of course I also want to thank my amazing trainers, my supportive parents, Electronic Vet and Blenheim EquiSports, too. I can’t wait for next year!” Waldfogel earned a cash prize of $1,500, an custom eVet scrim sheet from Blue Ribbon Blankets, and a championship ribbon. The Kastel Denmark 1.20m Modified Junior/Amateur Jumper Classic Circuit Award was presented to both the highest placing amateur rider as well as the highest placing junior rider, with each receiving a certificate for a Kastel Denmark jacket and shirt. Amateur Dominque Hoffman and her mount Apriol 2 had a very successful series, earning a
total of 42 points. In the junior section, the highest placing finisher was Lexie Looker with Quanto Fino 2, who earned a total of 37 points. Looker was thrilled, “It has been a fun show season this year to say the least. I was very excited to move up to the Modified Junior/Amateur Jumpers this summer, and I have been even more excited with the results,” the young rider explained. “I am grateful to Blenheim EquiSports for recognizing its exhibitors with these circuit awards. Also I am grateful to the very supportive team that I have behind me, especially my mom, Tonia. and I am very grateful to have Quanto Fino 2 as my partner.” As all the new awards were presented Melissa Brandes, VP of Marketing for Blenheim EquiSports, noted, “We want to thank all the sponsors who made it possible for us to give this special recognition to our competitors. It’s a wonderful way to wrap up the outdoor season.” Kastel Denmark also sponsored the Adult Hunter Classic Circuit Award, won by Christina Smith and her horse Chancellor, who earned an impressive total of 60 points throughout the Blenheim EquiSports show series. She was over the moon. “I feel very lucky and grateful to have my amazing trainers and their team and all their hard work to make everything perfect. Chance, my horse, is the best partner; my family and friends are incredible supporters; and Blenheim EquiSports and Kastel Denmark have managed and sponsored a wonderful circuit. She continued, “When I think back to last summer and being a ball of nerves going back into the show ring after so many years off, I think it’s fair to say this year has been better than any of us could have anticipated. I’ve had so much fun learning how to ride again and met great new friends while catching up with the riders of my junior years. I thought having a circuit award like this added to the excitement of the individual shows and love my new Kastel Denmark sun shirts that I won along the way!” Both the highest placing amateur rider as well as the highest placing junior rider picked up an EquiFit 1.20m Junior/Amateur Owner Jumper Classic Circuit Award. With a total of 30 points, Amateur rider Dinnea Digennaro topped the standings after winning two classics during Blenheim Red, White & Blue as well as Showpark Jumping Festival. Happy to pick up a brand new set of EquiFit Dinnea Digennaro and Citterio du Front & Hind Custom D-Teq Horse Boots, and a championship ribbon, Gibet come in for a landing Page 16
