CAPISTRANO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT GOVERNING BOARD MEMBER TRUSTEE AREA 2
As your school board Vice-President, I am able to see past the rhetoric of educational insiders to protect our students and schools. I favor classroom reform, school choice, local control, program innovation, and fair taxation. I vigorously oppose CUSD's $889 million bond, a measure on this ballot that will triple-tax Mello-Roos areas and unfairly burdens younger communities. If reelected, I will guard against abuse of this enormous $1.8 billion local tax measure. As a parent, engineer, active business owner and founder of a successful nonprofit school for students with autism, I will fight to: • •
•
•
Limit future tax rates by minimizing CUSD debt Raise quality of education for all students including those with disabilities Increase enrichment, vocational, and sports opportunities for students, and Open news schools to serve Esencia and surrounding Ranch areas on time.
Reelect me, Jim Reardon, to your school board in Coto, Wagon Wheel, Trabuco Las Flores, and Ladera Ranch.
Jim Reardon School Board

Recommendation: Vote NO on CUSD Measure M - $889 Million bond is unfair to Mello-Roos taxpayers. ID #1380993 Page 2

Time Change for Fall 2016 is this weekend By Mary Zeiher When does the time change for Fall 2016? That time change question seems to be something that a lot of people are asking themselves. For this year, 2016, the time change will occur on Sunday, November 6, 2016 at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. And remember for the time change 2016 this fall you will “fall back”, or move your clocks back one hour and gain some much needed sleep. It is easy to remember which way to move your clocks if you follow the old adage of, in the spring you “Spring forward” and in the fall you “Fall back”. It is nice during the time change for fall 2016 that you get to gain an hour of sleep. According to many studies most of us don’t sleep enough, so this extra hour will be welcomed. Remember that the way this whole time change thing is setup is as follows: At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March each year, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time (“Spring forward”). Then at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November each year we “Fall back” and we set our clocks back one hour and this returns us to Standard Time. Daylight Saving Time was actually put in place during World War I in the United States as a way to save energy
for the war production. By changing the time it made for longer days between April and October. Then again during World War II the government required the states to perform the instituted time change. But then after the wars the states were free to choose whether or not they wanted to institute the Daylight Savings time or not. But by 1966, Congress got involved and passed the Uniform Time Act, which then dictated the length of Daylight Saving Time. These longer days do mean that we use less energy as a country in lighting our homes and businesses. In 2005, Congress came along again and passed the Energy Policy Act. That started that starting in 2007 that Daylight Saving Time would be four weeks longer. The thought process was that we would be able to save approximately 10,000 barrels of oil each day through reducing power requirements of businesses. But that is a very difficult metric to verify and to know if we are seeing the savings that was projected. So, when does the time change for fall 2016? Just remember that on Sunday, November 1, 2016 at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time you will set your clocks back one hour. Enjoy your extra hour of sleep!

Anaheim, California Selected for U.S. Navy Band Tour America’s Navy is coming to Anaheim, California, one of 18 cities in seven states to host a performance by the United States Navy Band during its 2016 tour, one of the signature outreach programs of the U.S. Navy. The United States Navy Band Commodores performance is scheduled for Nov. 10, 2016, at 1 p.m. at Disneyland Resort. Jazz is America’s music and the Commodores, the Navy’s premier jazz ensemble, have been performing the very best of big band jazz for the Navy and the nation for more than 40 years. They have appeared on TV shows, played nearly all major jazz festivals and toured across the United States and abroad. This vibrant, dynamic group is constantly striving for musical excellence and the pursuit of new and exciting ways to communicate with their audiences. One of the U.S. Navy Band’s primary responsibilities involves touring the country. All of the band’s primary performing units embark each year on concert tours throughout specified regions of the country, allowing the band to reach out to audiences in areas of the country that do not have opportunities to see the Navy’s premier musical ensembles on a regular basis. The concerts are family-friendly events, meant to be entertaining to veterans, families, individuals and those interested in joining the Navy. All Navy Band performances are free and open to the public. Quotes “For many years, Navy bands have been where it matters, when it matters, just like the rest of our Navy. Today, we have Sailors performing around the world, improving relations with our allies abroad as well as telling
the Navy story here at home.” –Capt. Kenneth Collins, U.S. Navy Band commanding officer Quick Facts -The U.S. Navy Band is the flagship musical organization of the Navy, and one of 11 Navy bands located around the world. -The U.S. Navy Band is based at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. -The Commodores 2016 tour will cover 18 cities and 2,500 miles. -The Navy Band has been touring the country since 1925. -There are six performing ensembles in the Navy Band: the Concert Band, Ceremonial Band, Sea Chanters chorus, Commodores jazz ensemble, Country Current country/ bluegrass ensemble, and the Cruisers popular music group -Ensembles from the Navy Band tour nationally 12-15 weeks each year. -Sailors in the Navy Band are fulltime professional musicians. -Almost all of the Sailors in the Navy Band have undergraduate degrees in music, and most have graduate degrees.
“Why Being There Matters” On our planet, more than 70 percent of which is covered by water, being there means having the ability to act from the sea. The Navy is uniquely positioned to be there; the world’s oceans give the Navy the power to protect America’s interests anywhere, and at any time. Your Navy protects and defends America on the world’s oceans. Navy ships, submarines, aircraft and, most importantly, tens of thousands of America’s finest young men and women are deployed around the world doing just that. They are there now. They will be there when we are sleeping tonight. They will be there every Saturday, Sunday and holiday this year. They are there around the clock, far from our shores, defending America at all times. Thank you very much for your support of the men and women in U.S. Navy, deployed around the clock and ready to protect and defend America on the world’s oceans. Navy Office of Community Outreach (NAVCO), 5722 Integrity Drive, Bldg 456-3, Millington, TN 38054-5045 United States.

Elks hosted their Annual Masquerade Ball Fundraiser
Event coverage and photography by Mike Klinger, Mission Viejo Elks Mission Viejo/Saddleback Valley Elks #2444 hosted their Annual Masquerade Ball Fundraiser on Saturday benefiting the Orange County Foundation for Oncology Children and Families (OCF OCF) raising over $4,000 at auction and $500 in cash donations paid directly to OCF OCF. Each year in Orange County over 100 children are newly diagnosed with some form of cancer. Combined with children already undergoing treatment, hundreds of families share a common challenge as they are all dealing with stresses that are unimaginable to people who have never been touched by childhood cancer. Medical, financial, emotional, and social hardships can be overwhelming for patients, parents and siblings during treatment. With this in mind, OCF OCF provides support activities, free of charge, to pediatric cancer patients and their families who live or receive treatment in Orange County. As the evening got underway, guests mingled among the 75 silent auction items ready-for-
bid and many guests were lucky enough to win raffles prizes too. The Silent Auction gifts were available for everyone’s budget. Allen Cadillac of Laguna Niguel donated a 2-night stay in Palm Springs along with use of a new Cadillac for your visit, many local restaurants donated gift certificates, golf outings, Anaheim Ducks tickets, Los Angeles Angels gift basket, Halloween and Christmas decorations and much, much more. Event organizer, Stephanie Bongartz, welcomed OCF OCF special guest and representative, David Merrill, thanked everyone who helped with set-up for the event and to all guests attending this very worthwhile event that was originated by the late Betty Boelts over 10 years ago. Stephanie sent out a special THANK YOU to her sisters, Amber Toliver and Tammy Carlson, for their tireless effort in making the Costume Masquerade Ball Fundraiser a success. Outback Steakhouse of Laguna Niguel again sponsored dinner with delicious BBQ ribs, chicken breasts, mashed potatoes, salad and their signature bread. Then all the guests enjoyed hot-out-of-the-oven bread pudding prepared by chef and
Elks Leading Knight Mike Long and wife Vicky (Popeye & Olive Oyl) member Dennis Boelts. DJ Jim Mouth kept the crowd moving with some oldies during dinner, but then picked-up the pace as the evening progressed. It was a fantastic evening for a fantastic organization. Mission Viejo/Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge #2444 is celebrating 46 years of service to Saddleback Valley Communities. It is one of 10 lodges in the Orange Coast District of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) whose headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois.

Mission Viejo Christian School’s Annual Golf FundraiserS help those in need By: Diane Kennedy Photos by: Cindy Williams Mission Viejo Christian School (MVCS) golf fundraiser events culminated this past Thursday with a helicopter flying over the school and dropping nearly 3,000 golf balls from the sky onto a target in the middle of the school’s field. Students, faculty, staff, and parents lined the field waiting in anticipation for the announcement of the winner of the school’s 2nd Annual Helicopter Golf Ball Drop. Grand prize, free tuition for one student for the 2017-18 school year, was awarded to the Dudleston family. The golf ball drop was preceded by the school’s 2nd Annual Golf Tournament which was held on October 21, at Tijeras Creek Golf Course. This event was also a huge success, with a 10% jump in the number golfers and triple the number of corporate and family sponsors compared to the first year. Following a fun day of golf, participants and guests enjoyed dinner and an awards ceremony afterward at the club. The money raised from the golf tournament and golf ball drop will be used to support MVCS’s Angel Fund and Teacher Benevolence Fund. These funds were established to
support students, their families, teachers, and staff during times of unexpected financial hardship. The fundraising efforts will also help purchase new tools and resources for students in the classroom. Everyone wins when they give back to children. This is the first year the school has offered free tuition for one student for a year as a grand prize option for school families in the golf ball drop. (A grand prize of $2,500 was a secondary option for school families or for those not affiliated with the school.) As expected, the Dudleston family happily selected free tuition. The family purchased twelve golf balls and divided the entries between their two daughters. The winning ball belonged to their fourth-grade daughter, and the look of excitement and pure joy on her face when her name was called was priceless. MVCS is thrilled by the success of their two golf fundraisers and incredibly grateful for the support of school families, along with individuals and businesses in the community. Their donations not only helped make these events fun and successful, but more importantly, will have an impactful, long-lasting effect on the school’s ability to help those in need. The helicopter dropped nearly 3,000 golf balls onto the target below. The first ball to land in the hole was the grand prize winner.

Ohana Weekend Raised Over $175,000 for San Onofre Parks Foundation Photos by Stephanie Cabral and Brian Bloss The first ever Ohana Music Festival brought more than 22,000 fans to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point for a weekend of music, cultural exhibits, ocean awareness, drinks, artisan food and more. However, it was the Ohana Luau - an intimate celebration and charity gala that kicked things off at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel which served as a night of inspiration and entertainment. Similar to the festival, Eddie Vedder was actively involved at the Luau. He joined comedian and roast-master Jeff Ross on stage for a cover of The Who’s “Squeeze Box,” did a duet with comedian and director Judd Apatow that paid tribute to the late comic Garry Shandling by using lines from Shandling’s journals as lyrics, and also joined John Doe to perform X’s “The New World.” Additionally, Vedder played a few of his own songs including tracks off of his first solo album, Into The Wild, and shared his personal tie to the cause, with Doheny State Beach being the first place he attempted to surf many years ago. Vedder explained how thrilled he was to return to the beach for Ohana, and see it in the same condition as when he left. Other highlights included Jeff Ross pulling audience members on stage for personal roasts, which was very amusing - seems Ross can roast just about anyone! There were performances by Dallas Green of City and Colour and Lily Meola as well. Big wave surfer Greg Long on behalf of the San Onofre Parks Foundation (an organization founded by his father Steve Long) gave a heartfelt speech recounting his days spent as a child playing in the waves at San Onofre and what it meant to him, his family and the thousands of folks enjoying the legacy. The silent auction had many one of a kind items up for grabs such as an assortment of hand signed sports and music memorabilia,VIP tours, weekend stays and gift packs just to name a few. The LIVE auction had many bidding wars for the items up for grabs; a Napa Getaway for 6 sold for $6,000; a Muhammad Ali Hand Signed photo went for $5,000; a “Hamilton” NYC Experience - one luck couple received 3 night hotel stay at the Grand Hyatt, round trip coach class airfare and a 3 course pre-show dinner with 2 cast members and 2 seats to the play for $7,000; but the big kahuna of the evening was the Eddi Vedder Fender Electric Guitar, hand signed to the winner by Eddie himself! $22,000 was the winning bid. Guests of the Ohana Luau enjoyed a family style dinner by the Ritz-Carlton, included Huli Huli Chicken Breast, Seared Mahi Mahi with Charred Scallion Pineapple Relis, and Mango BBQ Beef Short Ribs with Chili Gremolata. Family style sides included sticky rice, garlic mashed potatoes, ginger ponzu glazed snap peas and heirloom carrots. The weekend of the festival was packed with events and surprises: Saturday night concluded with an all-star jam of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ In The Free World” during Eddie Vedder’s set, featuring Vedder, 11-time World Surfing League champion Kelly Slater, Jack Irons, Lily Meola, Band of Horses, John Doe of X, members of Mudhoney, and various other artists who performed throughout the day. Vedder also joined artists including Elvis Costello, X, Cat Power, and Jack Irons on stage both Saturday and Sunday for once in a lifetime collaboration. Sunday night wrapped up with a breathtaking performance under the stars by songstress Lana Del Rey. “As a 25-year resident of South Orange County, the opportunity to bring such an incredible event to my home community was one of the best experiences of my career,” says Ohana co-producer John Reese of SGE. “We were able to raise a significant amount of money for the San Onofre Parks Foundation several non-profit groups that work tirelessly to save our oceans and beaches.” In all, a combination of proceeds and fundraising from the Ohana Festival and the Ohana Luau raised over $175,000 for the San Onofre Parks Foundation, a California non-profit that cooperatively works with the California State Parks to develop, preserve and enhance the recreation and experience of California’s unique and beautiful coastal parks. Their mission is to provide education and interpretive services regarding all aspects of the natural, cultural, historical and biological diversity of California State Parks at San Onofre and San Clemente State Beaches.

Bernie Sanders: Stand up to Big Pharma greed. Vote yes on Proposition 61
By Bernie Sanders Prescription drug prices in the United States are the highest in the world — by far. Californians on Nov. 8 have a chance to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry’s greed and spark a national movement to end this price-gouging. Today, no laws prevent drug companies from doubling or tripling prices. So they just do it. The most recent flagrant example is the emergency allergy injection, EpiPen. Its maker, Mylan, jacked up the price of this 40-year-old medication by 461% between 2007 and 2015. During that same period, compensation for Mylan’s CEO rose 671%. And that’s just one company and one drug. ADVERTISING Proposition 61, the California Drug Price Relief Act, would bar the state from paying more than the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs does for the same drugs. That would include medicine purchased for state employees and retirees, university students, prison inmates, uninsured people with HIV/AIDS and Californians covered by the public insurance program Medi-Cal. It’s unacceptable that the exact drugs that we buy in our country are sold in Canada, Britain and other countries for a fraction of the price. The VA pays an estimated 24% less for drugs than most government agencies and about 40% less than Medicare Part D. Those are significant savings. In California, Proposition 61 would make drugs more affordable and accessible for about 6 million people. The soaring cost of medicine is a major health crisis nationwide. One out of five Americans age 19 to 64 cannot afford their prescriptions. Hundreds of thousands of seniors cut their pills in half to stretch one month’s prescription into two. Many of those patients will get sicker and some will die.
Meanwhile, the five largest drug companies made more than $50 billion in profits last year. The top 10 CEOs in the industry received a total of more than $327 million in compensation. How have pharma companies gotten away with such avarice? They currently have 1,266 lobbyists on their payrolls in Washington, D.C., and 118 fighting for their priorities in Sacramento. They’ve made hundreds of millions in campaign contributions to politicians. And just this year, massive pharma lobbying efforts killed two bills in the heavily Democratic California Legislature that would have made modest steps toward drugpricing transparency. Now, drugmakers are using their cash and clout to try to defeat Proposition 61. Incredibly, the measure’s opponents are prepared to spend up to $100 million in California to make sure that Americans continue paying the highest drug prices in the world. Why? A major pharmaceutical industry publication has called Proposition 61 “ground zero” in the fight against high drug prices, and warned drug company executives that “adoption of VA pricing by the state of California would be a ‘pricing disaster’ for the entire U.S. drug industry.” Their TV ads have mostly featured veterans who lament that if Proposition 61 passes the drug industry will raise the prices it charges the VA. Not true. As the former chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I would never support a measure that harms our veterans. Pharmaceutical companies cannot unilaterally raise the prices of drugs it sells to the VA. The most the VA pays for a drug is either the best commercial price minus discounts and rebates, or the average price paid by pharmacies minus a large discount, whichever is lower. Those price caps are set in law. The VA
also receives additional discounts if drug prices rise faster than general inflation. In other words, drug companies cannot just jack up the cost of drugs it sells to the VA. In addition, veterans’ drug co-payments are fixed and do not rise even if drug prices go up. It is also important to note that veterans being treated for any condition related to their military service pay no out-of-pocket costs whatsoever for prescription drugs. The drug industry also argues that less than 20% of Californians will benefit from Proposition 61. In fact, the measure will provide relief to all Californians whose tax dollars pay for the drugs used to treat many Medi-Cal recipients and state employees. Taxpayers would save an estimated $1 billion a year. It’s unacceptable that the exact drugs that we buy in our country are sold in Canada, Britain and other countries for a fraction of the price. My urgent message is to vote yes on Proposition 61 to make medicine more affordable in California and send a signal to Washington that the whole nation’s prescription drug policies need an overhaul. Bernie Sanders is the junior U.S. senator from Vermont.

Turn a new leaf with a fall family road trip
With the cooler temperatures of autumn flowing in, many Americans will be hitting the road to discover the natural beauty that the season brings. Whether they crave adventure, want to see the fall foliage or are just getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday, families need to be prepared to ensure they are getting the most out of this travel season. “When it comes to fall travel, there is no experience quite like the autumn day drive - it’s your last taste of crisp air and warm colors before the blanket of winter hibernation sets in,” says Editor in Chief of “Road & Travel Magazine,” Courtney Caldwell. “The keys to a successful road trip lay within the amount of preparation you do for your family and vehicle before you put either into motion.” Nothing puts a damper on a weekend getaway like car issues that could have easily been prevented by simple maintenance. The American Petroleum Institute’s (API) Motor Oil Matters (MOM) program has been established to provide information to consumers on the importance of using high quality motor oils, and verifying the oils are properly identified on invoices and receipts. Oil-change locations and motor oil distributors that share MOM’s commitment - and submit to independent, third-party auditing - have the opportunity to be recognized by MOM through the
Motor Oil Matters distributor and installer licensing programs. MOM and Caldwell recommend fall travelers arm themselves with a simple plan of action and preparation to help get to their destination: Don’t fall behind on your vehicle maintenance: * Change that oil: Motor oil is the lifeblood of your engine. One of the simplest steps you can take to ensure your vehicle is maintained is to change your motor oil with an API-licensed motor oil that meets your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Be wary of deals that sound too good to be true, and make sure your valuepriced oil change includes high quality motor oil. MOM has put together a checklist for consumers, to ensure they are confident when going into a shop. To download this checklist, please visit www.motoroilmatters.org. * Breathe free: Replacing a dirty air filter can increase a vehicle’s life expectancy and fuel efficiency by reducing the strain on the engine, especially during warmer months. * Check your tires: Pay attention to your tire pressure and tread depth, as they are essential for increased automotive safety and optimum driving performance. The lower the tread depth is on your tires, the less traction you will have on wet and dry roads, and the greater the distance you will need to stop. Enjoy more than the season:
* Keeping everyone happy: Write out a packing list for each family member. Store these lists on your computer so you can adjust them for different seasons and trips. Kids can be easily entertained during long car rides in the backseat with trivia, coloring books, games, books, assorted toys and stuffed animals. * Stop and pop: Bathroom breaks are always a good thing. They force you to get out of the car and talk with locals. A 10-minute break every two hours also increases alertness and adds to the overall sight-seeing experience. * Expect the unexpected: Always have a car-safety kit packed for you and your family. It should contain: an auto escape tool, blankets, cell phone charger, cleaning items, flashlight,
jumper cables, matches, pencil and notepad, warning lights or road flares, bottled water, non-perishable items and drinks, extra (hidden) cash, and a well-equipped first aid kit. * Keep it clean: Save and bring a handful of plastic grocery bags in the car to use for trash, damp clothes, or a “sick” bag for any car-sick passengers. For more tips and to read about potential travel destinations, visit www.roadandtravel.com. For more information on MOM and to download MOM’s Oil Change Checklist, and the importance of using high quality motor oil, go to www.motoroilmatters. org. Be sure to also check them out on Facebook and Twitter (@ motoroilmatters) for the most recent updates and news. - (BPT)
Think hosting a dinner party is difficult? Think again
Some might call the dinner party a lost art, but gathering family and friends around the table to eat great food, drink fantastic wine and enjoy each other’s company is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays. Creating an elegant, effortless evening to remember is easier than one might think. Perfecting the dinner party is about putting people at ease and creating an environment that encourages conversation and laughter - the two most important elements of a successful dinner party. So, instead of trying to
Page 14
impress guests with fancy culinary skills or decorating prowess, focus on five simple tips: 1. Light can be the life of the party From glowing centerpieces to sparkling votive candles, elegant party lighting is always a bright idea. Candles set the mood and create ambiance - and allow your guests to truly shine. 2. Let the wine flow The right wine can perfect the moment and no dinner party would be complete without it. Greet guests with a bright and beautiful
The Ladera Ranch News
sparkling rose and keep it flowing during the cocktail hour. During dinner, offer one red and one white wine. Santa Margherita Chianti and Pinot Grigio are two delicious options with wide appeal. 3. Of course dessert is a food group! Dessert is the perfect way to end an amazing meal. Leave your guests floating on air with angel food cake topped with a Proseccoinfused frosting. 4. Don’t let guests leave empty-handed Giving guests a little something
to take home when they leave extends the good vibes. Say goodnight in a unique way by sending guests home with a bottle of wine or votive candle to re-create the magic in their own home. 5. Remember to breathe If you’re having fun, your guests will too. Take a deep breath and, while you’re at it, give your red wine a little air, too. Aerators open up the aromas and flavors, making every sip better. - (BPT)

A “CLASS ACT” FOR 22 YEARS, PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S EDUCATION PROGRAM PARTNERING WITH ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOLS
Pacific Symphony’s annual Class Act Welcome Lunch recently took place, followed by the first Prelude Assembly of the 2016-17 season— marking another beginning for one of the organization’s oldest partnership programs. It has now been 22 years since the Symphony first joined forces with Orange County schools and parents to create the Frieda Belinfante Class Act program in an effort to bring quality music education to elementary school children. At the heart of the program are Pacific Symphony musicians, who take on the role of teaching artists and provide personal connections with students. During Class Act, children learn basics of music such as tempo, rhythm and melody, along with classical music appreciation, beginning in the fall and culminating in late spring with Youth Concerts and Bravo Assemblies. Each year, Class Act reaches more than 17,000 students, creating bonds between the schools and the Symphony, as well as within the individual schools. Through a featured composer’s music and a specific theme—this season, “Magical Journeys through Mozart” (although other composers are included)— Class Act teaches children the joy of music. With classes beginning between fall and January for each
school, activities launch with Prelude Assemblies for entire student bodies, hosted by a professional actor who introduces students to their musician and the year’s theme and composer. Classroom lessons follow, presented to each grade level and taught by Symphony musicians focusing on the theme and featured composer, as well as providing details about the musician’s instrument and career. Family Night ensemble performances are then presented at each school by a Symphony quintet, led by the school’s musician and featuring his/ her instrument. Eleven Symphony musicians become teaching artists each year, partnering with different Class Act schools. Of the 11 Class Act musicians this year, 10 are returning— Nancy Eldridge, Dana Freeman, MarlaJoy Weisshaar, violin; Carolyn Riley, viola; Ian McKinnell, Andy Honea, cello; Doug Basye, bass; Cynthia Ellis, flute; Elliott Moreau, bassoon; Mike Hoffman, trombone— and one is new to the program: Kyle Mendiguchia, bass trombone. “Each musician brings their own unique experiences and passion for music education directly to the students through their lessons, performances and concert experiences,” says Terry.
For this school year, Class Act will serve students at 32 schools across Orange County. From Los Alamitos to Aliso Viejo, Fullerton to Newport Coast, Reaching 17 cities in total. The application process to be a Class Act school continues to be competitive with a majority of program costs underwritten by a number of funders. The Symphony’s Music Director Carl St.Clair, Assistant Conductor Roger Kalia and the Class Act curriculum team work together to choose the theme and composer of the year. The theme allows students to explore the works of noteworthy composers, and at the same time educates them about the evolution of symphonic music. Musical concepts learned during the year come together during the Youth Concerts (eight free interactive performances presented each year by the full orchestra in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall), designed for students in grades two and higher. Youth Concerts allow students to see and hear their musician perform within an orchestra and also tie all of the featured composers together. Students gain a greater understanding of what makes these pieces similar and different, while discussing the different periods of music history and how the orchestra
has developed over time. With two concerts a day taking place over four days in May, 1,800 students attend each concert, bringing the total number of students to approximately 13,000. With that many children in attendance, 80-100 volunteers are needed each day. This season, Class Act includes 32 schools, with three to five Class Act schools attending per day. The program then concludes its season with a Bravo Assembly, where students have the chance to show off all they have learned in formats of their choosing: dance, music, theater, writing or visual art presentations. Class Act is presented for a minimal charge to participating schools in 19 cities countywide and has been recognized by the League of American Orchestras and National Endowment for the Arts as one of the nine most exemplary music education programs in the United States.
Pa r e n t s u r g e d t o g e t k i d s v a cc i n at e d a g a i n s t m e n i n g o c o cc a l d i s e a s e f o r n e w s c h o o l y e a r Moms do all they can to prepare their kids for a healthy transition from summer vacation to the new school year, which brings new teachers, homework and demanding sports practices. But, when gearing up for the transition, there is one thing moms might be forgetting to protect their children against: potentially fatal meningococcal disease. While parents may have grades and carpools on the mind, they should know that meningococcal disease is the result of a rare, but serious bacterial infection that can progress very rapidly and take the life of an otherwise healthy person in as little as one day. Symptoms that parents and their teens should watch out for could include stiff neck, fever, lethargy, sensitivity to light, irritability, headaches and vomiting. With school in session, kids are going to bed later and waking up earlier; the resulting fatigue may raise the risk of meningococcal disease, possibly by weakening the immune system. Common activities Page 18
such as sharing water bottles and utensils can also facilitate the spread of the disease. As fall sports season approaches, student athletes can be at greater risk of exposure to meningococcal disease, since cramped locker rooms and long bus trips can increase the risk of exposure to the germs. To help raise awareness about the serious consequences of meningococcal disease and urge parents to take action and vaccinate against the disease, the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) partnered with Sanofi Pasteur to launch Get in the Game: Keeping Teens Healthy. Get in the Game is a national Campaign that is a part of the Voices of Meningitis educational program and features Olympic swimmer and mom Dara Torres along with meningococcal disease survivors. “As a mother, I know how busy this time of the year can be, running from one sports practice to another,” says Torres. “But parents shouldn’t lose
The Ladera Ranch News
sight of the importance of vaccination for meningococcal disease. I hope that parents will feel empowered and motivated to speak with their children’s health care provider to make sure their child is up-to-date with their vaccinations.” Adolescents and young adults can be especially vulnerable to the disease; however, many parents aren’t aware that this disease is a threat or that there are vaccinations - recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention available to help prevent this disease. “At NASN, we want parents to know about the serious consequences of meningococcal disease and the importance of vaccination,” says NASN’s President Elect, Beth Mattey, MSN, RN, NCSN. “In addition, as a school nurse, I want parents to know that teens who have already been vaccinated for meningococcal disease may now need a booster to help protect them during the years when they are at greater risk of infection. The new school year
