Senator Bates Seeks Entries for State Capitol Art Contest Winning Submissions to be Displayed at State Capitol
Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) is seeking local entries for the California State Senate art collection, which features local artwork from every region of California. Artists from the 36th Senate District can submit as many works as they like, and Senator Bates will select the entry that best represents her district, which covers South Orange and North San Diego Counties. The winning entry will be displayed at the Capitol from May 2017 to September 2018. “ T h e S e n a t e ’s a r t p r o g r a m celebrates the creativity and diversity of our state, and I look forward to contributing a piece from an artist based either in San Diego or Orange Counties,” said Bates. “Entries can include oil paintings, works on paper, weavings, wall hangings and sculpture, but they must be no larger than three feet by five feet. This is a good opportunity for an artist to have their work displayed at the State Capitol, which is visited by tens of thousands of visitors each year.” The California State Senate art show competition is open to all ages. The selected submission
will be treated with care and safely returned to the artist at the end of the exhibit. The artist must agree to loan their art to the exhibit for approximately 18 months. The Senate Rules Committee will pay for shipping costs to and from the exhibit (but not packing materials). Artists who wish to enter the contest should send a .jpeg image of the artwork submission by e-mail, with a brief description of the entry. Artists should also send a brief description of themselves and why they feel their artwork best represents the 36th Senate District. Entries must be received by March 30, 2017, as that will give Bates enough time to review each entry, notify the winner and have the winner ship the art to the State Capitol by May 5, 2017 (the Senate’s deadline to receive artwork for display). Images of all submissions should be e-mailed to either Erik.Weigand@ sen.ca.gov (Orange County entries) or Christopher.Marsh@sen.ca.gov (San Diego County entries). Please put “California State Senate Art Show Submission” in the subject line.

CALL US NOW IF YOU NEED IMMEDIATE ACTION WITH THE IRS, THE CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE TAX BOARD OR ANY OTHER TAX AGENCY
The Accountancy offices of Kim Coyle, Certified Public Accountant is ready to assist you with any tax matter. Dear Client; As the new year begins, it’s a good time to think of planning strategies that will help lowering your taxes for 2017. My goal is for you to leverage your tax deductions and credit to the fullest extent. I want to briefly discuss five different strategies that can be powerful tools in lowering your tax bill. And the really great part is that each of these strategies is easy to understand and implement. Here are the strategies: Here are the five strategies 1. Estimated Taxes In most cases, you must pay estimated taxes for 2016 if both of the following apply. a) You expect to owe at least $1,000 in tax for 2016, after subtracting your withholding and refundable credits. b) You expect your withholding and refundable credits to be less than the smaller of: 90% of the tax to be shown on your 2016 tax return, or 100% of the tax shown on your 2013 tax returns;Note: Your above percentages may be different if you are a farmer, fisherman or higher income taxpayer. Strategy note: The purpose of making estimated tax payments is to avoid underpayment and late payment penalties and interest. The 2016 estimates taxes must take into consideration the following: New 4.6% tax for the high earners, New 0.9% Medicare tax;c) New 3.8% NIIT explained above. preparation of quarterly financial statements is desirable in calculating accurate estimated taxes. 2.Defer/ or Accelerate Income Most small businesses utilize cash basis of accounting for their taxes, may defer their 2016 billing and collection efforts to 2017, if they believe to have less income or predict the tax rates will be lower next year, and their conduct doesn’t violate any laws. Conversely, if they believe they will have more income next year or they will be in higher tax bracket next year, they may accelerate their billing and increase their current year income. Strategy note: If you believe the incoming Trump Administration will cut the tax rates, you may defer your income to 2017. For employees and executives, this means deferring 2016 bonuses to 2017.Taxpayers who believe they will be in a higher tax bracket next year, they may defer current deductions into 2017. On the other hand, they may accelerate their business deductions, medical expenses, 4th quarter State estimated taxes, property taxes, etc., after consulting their cpa or qualified tax advisor to avoid any AMT trap, and their conduct is not illegal.Tax Tip: If you believe the incoming Trump Administration will cut the tax rates, you may accelerate 2016 expenses. 3.Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) The 2016 AMT exemption increases to $83,800 for married filing jointly (MFJ), $53,800 for single filers, $41,900 for married filing separately, and $24,100 for trusts. Strategy note: Consult your CPA or professional tax advisor to avoid Alternative Minimum Tax trap. 4. Report of Bank & Financial Accounts (FBAR), Bank Secrecy Act Network (FinCen Form 114) must be e-filed If you have a financial interest in, or signature authority or other authority over a foreign financial account, including a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund, trust, or other type of foreign financial account with aggregate value exceeding $10,000, the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requires you e-file the FBAR report with the US Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen) form 114 (formerly TD F 90-22.1) by no later than April 15, 2017. The new deadline is under the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015 and there will be a 6-month extension available for the first time.Strategy note: Include earnings from FBAR accounts in your 2016 estimated taxes. 5.Individual Retirement Account (IRA) Traditional tax deductible IRA contribution for 2016 is $5,500, and $6,500 for taxpayers 50 years or older. Contribution for a taxpayer married to one who is covered by a retirement plan at work, is phased out between Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $184,000 and $194,000.Strategy note: Contribution must be made on or before April 18, 2017. Please do not hesitate contact me if you want to discuss in greater depth any of the strategies outlined above.

Time Change for spring 2017 is this weekend By Mary Zeiher When does the time change for Spring 2017? That time change question seems to be something that a lot of people are asking themselves. For this year, 2017, the time change will occur on Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. And remember for the time change 2017 this spring you will “spring forward”, or move your clocks ahead one hour. 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”. 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 spring 2017? Just remember that on Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time you will set your clocks back one hour.

Orange County Fire Authority Urges You to Change Your Batteries When You Change Your Clocks Sunday, march 12th 2017 As we change our clocks forward this weekend, now is the time to check your smoke alarms and change the batteries. According to the Orange County Fire Authority, this is the best time to check your smoke alarm and change their batteries! Nationally, approximately 75% of failed smoke alarms are due to missing batteries. “A recent fire in Santa Ana resulted in the death of a woman and serious injury to her husband” said OCFA Fire Marshal Laura Blaul. “There were no smoke alarms in their home, which is typical in almost every home fire resulting in serious injury or death. A smoke alarm is essential in providing you the extra time you need to safely get out of your home. Make sure you have one in every sleeping area; Make sure your family is safe”. We are asking the community to join the OCFA in efforts to reduce risks, the OCFA has developed a program called “Install, Inspect, Protect.” Key components include: Install: Install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, inside each sleeping area, and in every hallway leading to sleeping areas. Replace
the entire unit every 10 years. Inspect: Test your hard-wired and battery operated smoke alarms every month. Change the batteries twice a year, when changing your clocks for both battery operated and hard wired smoke alarms. Clean your smoke alarms every year. Protect: Plan a home escape plan and ensure that everyone in the
household knows the sound the alarm makes and what to do if they hear it. Identify two ways out of each room and designate a meeting place outside the home to account for family members in the event of an emergency. Practice your home fire drills every six months and remember to crawl lo under the smoke & go.
Call 911 immediately and ensure that everyone knows your Home Escape Plan. This weekend change your clocks and change your smoke alarm batteries too. You could be saving the lives of yourself and others. For more valuable information, please visit “Install, Inspect Protect” at www.ocfa.org.

MARDI GRAS MADNESS TAKES HOLD AT LOCAL ELKS LODGE By Andy Costello The Mission Viejo Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge was the scene of a New Orleans style Mardi Gras party. Masked Elk’s members and their guests arrived in wonderfully outrageous costumes from tuxedos and beaded formals to zootsuits and pajamas. “Anything goes” was the dress code. They came to celebrate Fat Tuesday also called Pancake Day, Shrove Tuesday, and Mardi Gras (which is French for “Fat Tuesday”). Mardi Gras celebrations typically take place on the last days before Lent begins. The sold out Elks fundraiser was held to benefit the Lodge’s building improvement fund and co-chaired by two relatively new Elks members Jennifer Williams and Lisa Hart. The Lodge banquet room was artfully transformed into a colorful New Orleans Mardi Gras scene by Williams and Hart with decorating help from Sandy and Jack Jacobs, Gail Patti, Sandie McClure, Gloria LeCouvre PER, Vicky Long, Cathy Poterack, Howard Sargent, and Laura Lumley. Lodge wall murals, and table decorations glittered with Mardi Gras colors of gold, purple, and green complimented by elegant ceiling drapery swags. Murals depicting multicolored bangles and beads and huge Mardi Gras masks covered every wall of the room. Mardi Gras Hors D’oeuvrs were made by Laura Lumley and a Gumbo dinner was prepared by Elks volunteers, Dennis Boelts, Pam Mackay, and Laura Lumley and served by Local High School girls from Laguna Hills and El Toro high schools. Guests were also treated to a delectable candy table provided by Stephanie Bongartz. DJ Tim McCoy kept the dance floor full throughout the evening and entertained with
Costume parade finalists his music ranging from dixieland & zydico, to rock & country. McCoy also conducted a fun Mardi Gras trivia quiz and later invited audience members to participate in a hilarious game of treasure hunt. A parade of Mardi Gras characters followed with awards for best costumes. The event also included a silent auction. Lodge photographer Dennis Lumley captured photos and Loyal Knight (2nd Vice President) Mike Klinger and Public Relations Chairman Andy Costello handled event publicity. Among the one hundred-twenty guests enjoying the party were Elks Lodge Leading Knight (1st Vice President) Michael Long and Ladies Club President Vicky Long. Michael Long who is the incoming Exalted Ruler (Lodge President) for 2017-18 said, “We give away so much to our many local and state charities that we sometimes need to be reminded to take care of our own needs.” Long added, “Jennifer and Lisa were quick to recognize that some of the Lodge facilities were in need of repairs and requested the proceeds of this event go to our building maintenance fund. They are to be congratulated for
Ladies in masks, beads & feathers
Judy & Bill Hill of Mission Viejo best costume winners their hard work and dedication to the Lodge and for giving us such an enjoyable fundraiser.” The Mission Viejo/Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge #2444 is celebrating 48 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. The BPOE is a charitable organization with a 149 year history of giving. “Elks Care Elks Share” For information regarding Elks programs or membership, call 949 830-3557.

The nonprofit hosted a celebratory donor event and announced the commissioning of a retrospective look at the state of maternal and infant healthcare for vulnerable families in Orange County, comparing the late 1980s and early 1990s with conditions today. The event was buzzing with nearly 100 attendees at The Estate on Second in Santa Ana. Community members, supporters and healthcare experts gathered in support of MOMS Orange County to celebrate the significant work the organization has completed over the past two-plus decades. During the event, wine, beer and cocktails were served as well as a variety of small bites including braised pork and spring rolls and other items. Dessert was served on the second floor with coffee and tea and included miniature cakes and other desserts. Dottie Andrews, who founded the organization, noted that 45,000 Orange County families have been served since the organization’s start. “MOMS Orange County was created in response to the health crisis in the late 1980’s, Allyson Brooks, MD, Chief Quality Officer at Hoag Hospital and Allyson and we are proud to have made a great impact in serving our community’s Sonenshine, founder of Orange County Women’s Health Project mothers and fathers—and even the next generation,” she said. “On this milestone anniversary, we recognize the community members and healthcare workers who came together at a pivotal time to increase access to health for the women in our community.” Theresa Figueroa, who along with her husband Jorge, participated in MOMS’ home visitation program and group classes, shared how the experience increased their confidence and abilities as new parents. “MOMS Orange County taught us how to be better parents, how to find resources in our community, how to track our child’s development, how to identify developmental delays, how to socialize with other parents, how to get down on my baby’s level and play, sing, dance, be present and give the quality time that all children deserve,” she said. “My husband and I knew that our parenting journey was not going to be easy and typical, but we left MOMS much stronger, more mature and with the tools to educate and advocate for our son. Having MOMS walk with us on this journey made it so much easier.” In celebration of its anniversary, MOMS Orange County announced the Founding Board of Directors Member Beverly Jacobs, former board commissioning of the retrospective analysis, and said findings are scheduled to be revealed at MOMS Orange County’s Healthy Beginnings, Bright members Marta Prietto O’Hara, Dennis Buchanan, MD, and MOMS Futures Luncheon at Paradise Pier Hotel in Anaheim, California on May Orange County Founder Dottie Andrews 11, 2017. MOMS Orange County formed 25 years ago, in response to a crisis in access to prenatal healthcare for low-income, at-risk women. They launched its core programs of monthly in-home visitation during pregnancy and through the baby’s first birthday, and group classes on childbirth preparation, prenatal education, breastfeeding, gestational diabetes prevention and education and Mommy & Me, Workshop for New Dads, and Mommy, Daddy & Me classes. Today, MOMS Orange County’s model of Maternal-Child Health Coordination serves more than 3,600 low-income families annually, directly influencing improvements in birth outcomes, maternal health, and developmental indicators among infants within a highly-disadvantaged population. Mothers receive one-on-one education and support during pregnancy to help increase their chance of delivering a healthy baby. After babies are born, the focus turns to promoting their healthy growth and development so they grow up happy, healthy and ready to learn.

The California School Dashboard will be published online and will include data on state and local indicators such as chronic absenteeism, graduation rates, English learner progress, student achievement, parental involvement, and much more. Ultimately, the dashboard will be utilized to measure a district’s progress as well as areas for improvement. During the community forum, District staff will share local indicators and priorities, and the Superintendent will welcome feedback and field questions from those in attendance. What: Superintendent’s Community Forum When: Thursday, March 14 at 7:00 pm Where: Capistrano Unified School District Board Room, 33122 Valle Road, San Juan Capistrano, California Who: Parents, students, staff, community Why: It is our priority to communicate with, and engage students, parents, employees, and community members in the work of the Capistrano Unified School District.

C APISTRANO UNIFIE D S C H OOL D ISTRI C T ANNOUN C ES susan royal as middle SCHOOL TEACHER OF THE YEAR A surprise visit to Aliso Viejo Middle School by CUSD Board President Martha McNicholas, Vice President Gila Jones, Secretary Patricia Holloway, Trustee Amy Hanacek, Superintendent Kirsten Vital and Capistrano Unified Educators Association President Sally White was made to announce Math Teacher Susan Royal as this year’s Middle School Teacher of the Year for the Capistrano Unified School District. The group headed to Royal’s classroom to share the news with her and her students. “Susan’s dedication to teaching is inspiring,” President Martha McNicholas stated. “Her students not only walk away from her classroom with a stronger understanding of math, they also walk away with a stronger understanding of who they are becoming as young adults.” Aliso Viejo Middle School Math Department Chair and teacher Susan Royal has a dedication and passion for student learning. She Page 14
is driven to do whatever it takes to improve the math performance of all students, implementing new strategies and fostering the Growth Mindset to make sure each of her students not only hears, but also understands what she is teaching them with an “I can” attitude. Her reach extends far beyond the traditional classroom. For over 16 years she has taught before and after school English Language Learner support classes, developed a summer reading and math camp for elementary students and uses the community as her classroom to promote outside student service and involvement. Susan, herself, never stops learning. She is constantly reading new research, analyzing data and going to conferences. She is involved locally with the Orange County Department of Education and Orange County Math Council, and nationally the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Her work with these organizations benefits
The Ladera Ranch News
her students and colleagues as she also serves as a member of the Common Core Taskforce, rolling out the Mathematics Common Core Standards and supporting new math teachers in the district through mentoring via the CUSD Induction program. “I firmly believe that every student can learn, and it is up to me to find ways to teach them,” Royal said. “I identify those students who need
support and schedule time to work with them. It is equally important to me to help those who are reaching mastery stretch their understanding.” Royal will represent CUSD at the Orange County Department of Education Teachers of the Year program where four teachers will be selected to move on to the California Department of Education Teacher of the Year program.

Santa Margarita High School Model United Nations Students Visit Georgetown University and Washington D.C. Santa Margarita High School High School’s Model United Nations (MUN) program recently returned from a trip to Washington D.C. Students attended the 54th annual North American Invitational Model United Nations (NAIMUN) conference hosted by Georgetown University. Twelve Santa Margarita High School students attended the conference and represented the country of Germany. The students were Nicole Balian, Bryce McMahon, Macy Lustig, Chloe Grubb, Ashkaan Mahjoob, Jane Hutchinson, John Grayson, Casi Roque, Josh Prentice, Molly Finn and Caitlyn Mayes. Casi Roque and Caitlyn Mayes were recognized as honorable delegates at the conference and John Grayson and Chloe Grubb were honored as best delegates. Before the conference, students got a chance to tour the Washington D.C. area. Students were able to see Lincoln’s Cottage, the National Air and Space Museum, the Natural History Museum, the National Mall, the National Zoo, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, the US Botanical Garden, the Newseum and Arlington National Cemetery. Santa Margarita High School alumna Maggie Morris ’15 met with the students and showed them her current campus at George Washington University and alumnus
Garrett Williams ’14 gave the students a tour of Georgetown University. Garrett served as the Secretary General of the NAIMUN conference that students attended. Garrett was in charge of an international MUN conference with over one hundred and seventy schools and over two thousand delegates in attendance. Garrett has been involved with MUN now for seven years starting as a freshman at
Santa Margarita High School and continuing through college at Georgetown University. Santa Margarita High School students also met up with alumni Nick Michiels ’02 and Nathan Imperiale ’03 who hosted students for a lunch at their respective companies; Powers Pyles Sutter & Verville Law offices and NJI Media. The weeklong trip was an educational and enjoyable opportunity for all of our students.

The art ranges from explorations in time-lapse photography, 3-D art made from recycled materials and paintings that capture the atmosphere of the landscapes they depict. This exhibit illustrates the skills developed by these artists whose fascination with common scenes and objects are transformed into fresh and unexpected results.

With all the time off, the holiday season is a great time to earn sweat equity on your home. Here are 3 easy projects anyone can do to increase the value of their home.
1. FIX THE SIMPLE THINGS
There are many common things around the house like hinges, wheels on doors, light bulbs, electrical switches, running toilets, and even faucets that are relatively simple items to address. There are many helpful people at your local hardware store that will happily help you figure out how to solve these issues. Your home will attract a higher price if there is less to fix.
2. CREATE A FRESH OUTDOOR SPACE
The outdoor spaces are very important to many buyers. There are many simple things you can do around the yard including planting fresh flowers, cleaning overgrown areas, trimming trees, power washing patios, and cleaning outdoor appliances that can really increase the appeal of your property by making the outdoor space feel fresh.
3. PAINTING IN STYLE
You’ve seen all the home improvement shows and the house flipping shows. What’s the one thing that always gets the most bang for the buck? Interior paint of course. I would love to help you choose paint colors that are most popular with buyers in the current market. Painting is easy and can even be fun. Almost anyone can do it!
