MAGNIFICENT MIDORI PLAYS KORNGOLD’S FILM SCORE-INSPIRED VIOLIN CONCERTO Mesmerizing virtuoso, former child prodigy and so famous she goes by one name—Midori—joins Pacific Symphony to perform Erich Korngold’s achingly beautiful Violin Concerto, which the composer reimagined from four of his acclaimed film scores. The exquisite program is led by Grammy and Juno award-winning music director of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Bramwell Tovey, of whom Musical America has called: “One of the most versatile and charismatic musicians in the world.” Tovey also leads the orchestra in grand and thrilling music inspired by the galaxy—Gustav Holst’s dramatic interpretation of the cosmos, “The Planets,” enhanced by the voices of the women of Pacific Chorale (John Alexander, artistic director); plus, Debussy’s luminous piano piece, “Clair de Lune,” orchestrated by the legendary Leopold Stokowski.

The concert takes place Thursday through Saturday, April 28-30, at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets range from $25-$110. A preview talk with Alan Chapman begins at 7 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.

“I love Korngold’s music and am delighted to play it with the great Midori,” says Maestro Tovey. “I first heard Midori as a 14-year-old soloist at Tanglewood in 1986. I’d gone to observe Leonard Bernstein’s master classes (incidentally, I remember meeting Carl St.Clair the same week and chatting about Bernstein’s extraordinary charisma). And a

couple of years ago, we worked together with my orchestra, the Vancouver Symphony.”

Midori, who last performed with Pacific Symphony for the first classical concert of the 2009-10 season, stunning the audience with her rendition of Tchaikovsky’s memorable Violin Concerto, also opened the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in 2006, playing Beethoven’s breathtaking Violin Concerto. Midori now returns for another magnificent performance, this time of film composer Korngold’s lush and lyrical Violin Concerto.

Also atmospheric and visual—in a completely different way—is Debussy’s “Clair de Lune.” Called “the father of musical Impressionism,” for obvious reasons, Debussy’s music suggests color, light and water. Evocative of mood and tones, and full of meandering harmonies, the music functions as light does in Impressionist paintings—rendering impressions rather than solid objects. Originally composed as the third movement of a piano suite of four movements, called “Suite Bergamasque,” the new title for the movement came from a poem

by Paul Verlaine and means “moonlight.” “Clair de Lune” is by far the most popular, and has been excerpted and orchestrated more than any of the other three. It’s also been a staple for movie soundtracks.

“Our concert begins with Stokowski’s transparent and economical orchestration of Debussy’s piano masterpiece,” says Tovey. “Stokowski, who is so often associated with bombast, as in his Toccata and Fugue orchestration which opens Disney’s

Midori ‘Fantasia,’ chooses to use the orchestra in a very fragile and delicate manner, in direct contradiction of his known reputation for extravagance.”

Pacific Symphony’s classical series performances are made possible by the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation, with additional support from the Avenue of the Arts Hotel, KUSC and PBS SoCaL.

No reproduction, in whole or in part is permitted without the express written permission of Ladera Ranch News.

Legal Advertising: The Ladera Ranch News was adjudicated by the Orange County Superior Court as a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code 6000 case #A227454 on December 30, 2004 and as such is the appropriate newspaper to place legal and public notices for the South Orange County Judicial District and the community of Ladera Ranch.

Nonprofit organizations depend on monetary donations to keep their operations running and support the communities they serve. Many people, however, want to do more than write a check to local organizations they support, so they become volunteers.

When people choose to donate their time, energy and skills to support a community organization, the impact can be immeasurable.

Plus, volunteering allows people to be actively involved in their community without feeling the budget crunch at home.

People don’t always realize what they gain personally when they volunteer, however. In addition to feeling a sense of community and accomplishment, people can also improve their networking skills, connections and professional development as they help others.

“Improving leadership, networking

and job skills is important in any field, and doing so through community involvement is a rewarding way to give back,” says Elizabeth K. Warn, senior vice president of community relations at TD Bank. “Volunteering provides the best of both worlds supporting your local community while developing professional skills that may help you in the future.”

Many companies encourage their employees to volunteer, whether on their own time or through work.

TD Bank, for example, provides several volunteering opportunities for its employees, including TD Tree Days tree planting events. The bank’s year-round Employee Reading Program encourages employees to help children keep their reading skills sharp by reading to them in schools, libraries and at youth organizations.

In addition to recognizing their employees’ commitment to volunteer

service and the financial needs of community organizations, many companies, such as TD Bank, will also provide financial donations to the charities where their employees volunteer. These donations give an extra boost to the organizations and causes that are personally important to employees, are usually based on the number of hours an employee volunteers, and allows a worker who might not otherwise have the financial resources an opportunity to direct funds to his or her favorite charity or organization.”The benefits of volunteering really are limitless,” adds Warn. “Even a few hours each month can help a neighborhood, a family in need, or an organization attain its goals and make a positive, meaningful impact in the community.”

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces all conspire against him. ~Jonathan Swift

5 better-for-you ways to host your next spring gathering As the weather warms up and you’re beginning to think about sunny brunches and breezy dinners on the patio, it may be time to take a fresh approach to your spring entertaining.

From Easter and Mother’s Day to a number of other spring holidays, who wouldn’t want to step up their hosting game?

During a season of celebration, temptations can preoccupy you, but that doesn’t mean you have to give in.

These tips will help you plan a spring gathering to impress your guests while treating them to better-for-you choices.

1. Choose dishes that can be prepared ahead of time.

While you may be looking to wow your family and friends with your impressive entertaining abilities, you also want to catch up and spend time with them. After all, isn’t that the point of hosting a gathering? Find a main course that can be prepped before your gathering so you’ll have more time to laugh and talk with your guests. Make a plan so everything will be ready for your guests to enjoy at the same time.

2. Reach for home-style-tasting and simple ingredients.

Take pride in each ingredient you use while preparing to entertain.

Read labels and be conscious of what

you are putting on your table. A brand such as Naturally Fresh(R) offers delicious, home-style-tasting salad dressings and dips with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

3. Make better-for-you substitutions.

Sticking with a better-for-you theme doesn’t mean you have to skip dessert. You can find plenty of dessert recipes that substitute ingredients to increase nutrition and lower fat and calorie content. For example, you can substitute applesauce for oil and butter, or coco nibs for chocolate chips. Get creative and your guests will marvel at your fresh approach to cooking and baking.

4. Opt for fresh foods when possible.

Include various types of fresh fruits and vegetables in your appetizers, main course and side dishes. Fresh foods contain wonderful vitamins and minerals, so why not share some of the benefits with your friends? A veggie tray with Naturally Fresh(R) Classic Ranch Brand Dressing is a classically refreshing hors d’oeuvre to serve at any spring gathering while beautifully displayed watermelon makes a sweet and guilt-free dessert.

5. Create shared platters.

To avoid loading your guests’ plates with huge portions, create platters

OC MUSIC CENTER

that everyone can share. While you’re setting up, be mindful of the number of people you’re hosting compared to the amount of food you prepare.

Serve the meal family style and encourage everyone to try a little bit of everything.

Bring a better-for-you mindset to your spring gatherings when you follow these tips. For more recipes and to find Naturally Fresh(R) Brand Dressings in store, visit: naturallyfresh. com/recipes or naturallyfresh.com/ find-a-store.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Returns to Segerstrom Center in Exclusive Southern California Engagement

Segerstrom Center for the Arts welcomes the return of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in an exclusive Southern California engagement April 6 – 10, 2016.

The program includes eight works never before seen at the Center, four Southern California premieres and new productions of Ailey classics.

In addition to the three full repertory programs, on April 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Center and the Company will hold their second free community event – Revelations Celebration – on the Arts Plaza, and on April 6 at 7:30 p.m., Discover Ailey, a special hourlong Ailey mini performance with all seats at just one price.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Company is one of the world’s most popular dance companies and recognized by the U.S. Congress as a vital American “Cultural Ambassador to the World.” For this, its seventh visit to the Center, Artistic Director Robert Battle has selected four new works that have never been seen in Southern California, three new productions of Ailey classics, plus the company’s signature American masterpiece, Revelations.

The repertory will include Battle’s Awakening and No Longer Silent, Judith Jamison’s A Case of You, Ronald K. Brown’s Open Door, Rennie Harris’ Exodus and Matthew Rushing’s ODETTA. The final performance, Sunday, April 10, will be a program of works by company founder, Alvin Ailey: Cry, Love Songs, Blues Suite and Revelations.

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s stay in Orange County will begin with Revelations Celebration, a free event on Saturday, April 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Center’s Arts Plaza. Visitors of all ages are

invited to participate and engage with Company performers and teaching artists and in other activities as well.

Acclaimed Ailey teaching artist Nasha Thomas-Schmitt, master teacher and former Ailey star, will teach the distinctive movements of three of the most well-known pieces from the Company’s cornerstone work, Revelations, including “Rocka My Soul,” “Wade in the Water” and “I’ve ‘Been Buked.” Fans and novices alike are welcome!

Discover Ailey is an ideal introduction to Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and the Company’s energy, artistry and spirit of dance. Discovery Ailey is an hour-long moderated performance in Segerstrom Hall on Wednesday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m. Audiences can participate in a number of fun and informative pre-show activities as well as complete performances of Exodus and Revelations.

All tickets to the Discover Ailey on April 6 are $29. Ticket prices for the full performances April 7 – 10 start at $29. Tickets are now available online at SCFTA.org, by calling (714) 5562787 and at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa. For inquiries about group ticket discounts, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. Free Preview Talks by Company members will be conducted one hour prior to each performance.

The Friday evening, April 8 Preview Talk will be sign-language interpreted.

Artists and program are subject to change.

The Center’s education programs are designed to inspire young people through the arts and reach hundreds of thousands of students each year.

In addition to the presenting and producing institution Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the 14-acre campus also embraces the facilities of two independently acclaimed organizations: Tony Award®-winning South Coast Repertory and a site designated as the future home of the Orange County Museum of Art. Segerstrom Center for the Arts is also proud to serve as the artistic home to three of the region’s major performing arts organizations: Pacific Symphony, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County and the Pacific Chorale, who contribute greatly to the artistic life of the region with annual seasons at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

Spurgeon-Hoffman Reporter, Ladera Ranch News Photo by: Andre Martinez Two influential, kind hearted Ladera Dads joined forces this Spring to encourage collegiate path learning at a Santa Ana Unified School District elementary school population and afterwards spread the message of these inspiring students with the world’s largest beverage company.

On Friday, March 18, 2016, Kevin Tonai, Interim Principal Manuel Esqueda Elementary School and Nehal Desai, CFO West Operating Unit Coca-Cola Refreshments, worked in tandem at Santa Ana’s Esqueda Elementary on Main Street while joined across the district by other guest principals, including elected officials, business leaders, educators and community members.

Santa Ana Unified School District hosted these key individuals at all of its school campuses on March 18, 2016. The annual program gives community members an opportunity to experience the daily operation of a school and learn more about the educational process.

“It was all about the kids,” laughed Ladera Ranch Resident Nehal Desai. “It was really fun meeting the students, watching how they learn and seeing how well they responded to their teachers. ” It was no different than going into one of our schools,” Nehal said. “I loved the similarities between the Santa Ana and Ladera Ranch students.

Guest principals began their day with the Pledge of Allegiance, morning announcements, and observing classroom activities. Many guest principals commented that they hadn’t realized the different role principals are required to perform every day in order to lead their schools.

Nehal walked away from the experience with a new found appreciation for schools and its administrators “I am very happy with my day job, but my appreciation for how hard Principals work went thru the roof!” he said. “I have a better perspective about any frustrations one might have with a school and how to respond. Feedback, both good and bad, is a gift. It’s how you deliver it. I would absolutely participate in ‘Principal for a Day’ again,” Nehal Page 10

Newest Crown Jewel for OC Parks: Irvine Ranch Historic Park Exclusively for : the Ladera Ranch News

By Kelly Bennett On the corner of Irvine Boulevard and Jamboree Road in the City of Irvine, a special celebration took place on November 21, 2015 – “Irvine Ranch Heritage Day”. This was an exceptional day where OC Parks and the Irvine Family celebrated the restoration of six historic structures and now, the facility and parkland is open to the public as the Irvine Ranch Historic Park – part of the OC Parks Regional family of historic parks.

With a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a ranch-themed family-friendly event, the public was invited to enjoy a multitude of things to do and eat along with guided tours of the new park. Sunday, March 13th, started the spring-summer hours for regional parks which are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

In 1887 James Irvine II moved the family home and the Irvine Ranch headquarters (to later to become The Irvine Company) to this location; he served as the President from 1887-1947. The Irvine Ranch was vast, almost 115 thousand acres that stretched from the Pacific Ocean all the way to the Santa Ana Canyon, East of The Great Irvine Park and West to the 55 Freeway.

His son, Myford Irvine served as President of The Irvine Company from 1947-1959; he had one son, James Myford Irvine, who was born at the family home in 1953 which was restored in 2008 and is now called The Katie Wheeler Branch Library.

From the late 1800s through the 20th century, the site served as the headquarters for the sprawling Irvine Ranch and The Irvine Company, which covered one fifth of Orange County and was once one of the world’s greatest producers of Valencia oranges. This once active site was in needed repair, the paint was weathered, peeling and chipped, wood was rotting, weeds and brush replaced the once vibrant greenery.

The land was gifted to OC Parks who then restored the six structures, carefully preserving these historic buildings that represent the rich agricultural history of Orange County and the Irvine family history. These structures included the original mess hall, early office and three of the buildings that once housed the ranch’s foremen.

James Myford Irvine came back to his roots and cut the ribbon to the newest addition of the OC Parks’ list of historical sites for Orange County. He smiled and was excited to have his family here to see the new restored buildings and park for all to enjoy. “These headquarters were The Irvine Company offices for my Grandfather, my Uncle, and my father, Myford Irvine. We seek to pass on to our descendants and the people of Orange County a richer sense of history and the part that the Irvine Ranch played in that history”, he stated.

Other Irvine family members along with their children who attended included: Linda Irvine Smith, James Irvine Swinden, Paul White and Admiral Russell Penniman. They took an early private tour of the grounds prior to the opening to the public, walking the land and seeing the buildings restored to their natural state. A few of the family members had their own whimsical comments and most pointed to things or areas where they remember playing or where they skinned a knee or two as a child.

The ribbon cutting ceremony was

just as special. OC Parks Director Stacy Blackwood welcomed everyone. James Irvine also spoke about how exceptional this day was. Todd Spitzer Third District Supervisor, Orange County Board of Supervisors was on hand to express his gratitude as well saying, “The Irvine Ranch Historic Park provides a unique glimpse into Orange County’s agricultural past. We are grateful to the Irvine family and The Irvine Company for working with the County to dedicate this park, grow park space and to preserve Orange County History.”

It was a fun family day with craft stations for the kids, live music, a blacksmith demonstration, petting zoo and of course a BBQ lunch from a real Chuck Wagon operated by Ira and Becky Stein were enjoyed by all. Folks dressed in 1800’s traditional wear spun wool, hammered horseshoes and made corn husk dolls. Barbara Gershman and her band played traditional western music that was liked during this generation; the musicians playing were mighty fine on the fiddle and banjo.

After the official ribbon cutting and speeches and while the public was touring and enjoying the grounds, the Irvine family and close friends were escorted into the large former Irvine Company Employee Dining Room for a special BBQ luncheon coordinated by Susan Jeske that had all the trimmings of a real ranch meal. From the décor, table settings and menu prepared by Two Guys Grilling along with lemonade made with lemons from the Irvine farm, the luncheon was a place where the family ate together enjoying each other’s company.

After everyone enjoyed their meal, James welcomed everyone and introduced a few special folks who were in attendance. One of them was Eric Jessen, retired Chief of the OC Parks whom Jim and Supervisor Spitzer surprised with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the President of the United States for all the hours of volunteer service he has given for historic preservation. Family members then took turns telling stories of their days on the Ranch, special moments and cherished memories they have tucked away of their childhood. They talked about their life on the Ranch, growing up as a member of the Irvine family, being raised in the farmland, having horses, buggies, and having all of their best friends’ living miles away from their home. The stories they told were of the ‘days gone by’, of life different but unique in a way for each of them; holding dear to their hearts a part of their childhood that would live forever.

Now their home and land will be appreciated by all – secured by the OC Parks as a historic site and park.

The Irvine Ranch Historic Park now joins the list of many historical sites in Orange County for the public to enjoy: Helena Modjeska Historic House and Gardens; John D. Cooper Center, Heritage Hill Historical Park; George Key Ranch Historical Park; Old Orange County Courthouse; The Ramon Peralta Adobe; and The Historic Yorba Cemetery.

OC Parks encompasses regional, wilderness and historical facilities, as well as coastal areas throughout the Orange County. From parkland, open space and shoreline, the 60,000 acres of award-winning parks are enjoyed by millions of visitors each year.

Dream Gala Raises Over $1.1 Million for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Photos by Ann Chatillon The JDRF Orange County Chapter’s 20th Anniversary Platinum Dream Gala at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, brought together 500 influential leaders, sponsors and organization supporters to help raise more than $1.1 million for diabetes research – a notable amount for the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.

Celebrating their platinum anniversary and emceed by Bill Rogers, JDRF’s Orange County Chapter honored Laguna Hills residents Lauri and Steve Delson for their contributions to Orange County’s T1D community.

Analisa Albert, Toni Berlinger, and James Cueva served as the 2016 gala co-chairs. Plus, special guest Derek Rapp, CEO of JDRF International, was in attendance to celebrate as well The 2016 JDRF Dream Gala brought to life an evening of platinum elegance. Dinner included, seared filet mignon, ancho chili demi, piloncillo prawns, crispy sushi rice cake, pickled vegetable slaw, baby bok choy or a vegetarian option of kale and mozzarella ravioli, butternut squash, wild mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and sage brown butter. Dessert included S’mores cake or citrus torte. Following dinner, the Buzzcatz kept guests on their feet, and new to the event this year, an exclusive VIP After Party was held for Dream Gala sponsors.

Silent, wine and live auctions were hosted. Highlights of the live auction sold by Auctioneer Letitia Frye, included two tickets to the 53rd annual New York Film Festival (Presented by Jaeger-LeCoultre), with first class airfare, three-night stay at the prestigious Park Hyatt Hotel, tickets to the Opening Party and a brand new 18k Rose Gold Master Ultra-Thin watch (a $25,000 value), Cooking Under the Tuscan Sun with a five nights at a private Italian cooking school (a $6,500 value), an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of The Voice, tickets to a live taping and two nights at Hotel Bel-Air (priceless), a Ralph Lauren Runway Spring 2017 Runway Show experience (priceless), and more.

The premier wine auction featured over 250 specialty and varietal wines such as a Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 Wooden Boxed Trio and five-year vertical of Quilceda Creek.

The Fund a Cure portion of the evening raised just under $300,000, 100% of which will be invested in our research programs. Investments are supporting the development of next-generation therapies like artificial pancreas technology, beta cell encapsulation, smart insulin that can turn on and off in response to blood sugar levels and, ultimately, methods for curing and preventing T1D. In fact, JDRF is currently funding 50 human clinical trials of potential T1D therapies.

The 2016 JDRF Dream Gala Family Honoree were Laguna Hills residents Lauri and Steve Delson, they were honored for their contributions to Orange County’s T1D community after two of their three daughters were diagnosed with T1D. Lauri made a generous donation to Newport Beach-based Hoag Hospital Foundation to support the Mary and Dick Allen Diabetes Center and to create the Herbert Family Program for Young Adults (18-30) with T1D. Today, the program helps young adults cope with the psychological issues associated with being a young adult with T1D and empowers them through social events, counseling, education and a variety of training courses.

“We are so thrilled to have honored Lauri and Steve Delson during our 20th Anniversary Platinum Dream Gala, making the night that much more special” said Cathy Sleva, executive director of JDRF’s Orange County Chapter.

“Our mission to better treat, prevent, and eventually cure T1D would not be possible without the continued support of the 500 devoted event attendees, who have made this year’s Dream Gala a huge accomplishment.”

The JDRF Dream Gala was made possible by generous key sponsors: The Allergan Foundation, Mary & Dick Allen Diabetes Center at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, Toni & Steve Berlinger, The Warmington Family, Herbert Family Foundation, Drs. Nancy & Larry Silverberg, Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth, Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. and South Coast Plaza, who served as the gala Community Engagement Partner.

A leading global organization funding T1D research, JDRF’s goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until it achieves a world without T1D. Nearly 26 million Americans live with diabetes and its complications, and as many as 3 million have type 1 diabetes. Diabetes accounts for more than $245 billion in health care costs in the U.S. Insulin is only life support. It is not a cure.

Spring has sprung: tips for getting outside to play After being cooped up during one of the l winter, families are eager for warmer weather so they can get outside and play. Research shows that play is an important part of children’s physical, emotional and intellectual development.

With spring upon us, now is a great time to make play and outside activity part of your family’s regular routine.

Here are some ideas: * Remember, every little bit helps Active play is an important part of keeping families happy and healthy.

In fact, childhood obesity increases 29 percent in neighborhoods without a park or playground, according to KaBOOM!, a national non-profit dedicated to ensuring that all children get the balance of active play they need. Instead of driving to your local playground or park, walk or bike, to get in an extra dose of activity.

Every little bit helps in keeping your kids growing up strong - physically, emotionally and intellectually. * Keep imagination at the forefront Kids can do anything they put their minds to, and they can keep themselves busy for hours with just their imaginations. Bring that power to your next outdoor adventure by creating a make-believe obstacle course based on their favorite book

or movie at your local play area. Get other kids involved and become the MVP of playtime. * Pledge to be active Staying active on a consistent basis is key to achieving a balanced lifestyle. Let’s Play, a community partnership led by Dr Pepper Snapple Group to get kids and families active,

provides a host of tools, places and inspiration to make play a daily priority. Visit www.LetsPlay.com for a wealth of ideas to incorporate play into your day, and take the Let’s Play Pledge to devote additional playtime each week to your family’s routine. * It’s all about balance Playtime takes a lot of energy,

so make sure your kids are armed with healthy and nutritious nibbles to replenish their growing minds and bodies. Fruits, veggies, applesauce, whole grains and snack-size cheese are great after-play snacks. Make sure kids are also staying hydrated to keep their energy levels up throughout the day.

Wood is good: The must-have material for your spring home spruce-up Thinking of sprucing up your home for spring? You’re not alone; one in three homeowners say they’ll take on at least one home improvement project in the first half of 2016, according to a recent survey by Burst Media. And it turns out, freshening your home for spring is a smart investment.

Home sales and prices are up, and mortgage rates are still considered low by historical standards. The combination is a recipe for a strong 2016 home remodeling forecast.

Homeowners are regaining equity in their homes, and that confidence is expected to spur them to take on deferred projects for their own enjoyment, or upgrade their homes for sale.

In its annual survey, Remodeling Magazine reports that wood deck additions deliver the second highest return on investment of the home improvement projects surveyed. If you’re looking for a way to make your spring spruce-up add value to your home, wood is a great option. Wood is known for its versatility, ease of use and natural beauty.

Whether you’re looking to update your living space or transform your outdoor entertaining area, Mark and Theresa Clement, home improvement pros and spokespersons for Wood, Naturally, offer simple, do-it-yourself tips for incorporating wood into your spring home improvement projects:

* Prepping decks for spring entertaining “One of the best things you can do in the spring to spruce up your house is to clean and refinish your wood deck,” Mark says. “The natural beauty of a well-maintained deck transforms a backyard into a gathering place.”

After you’ve carefully cleaned the deck to remove dirt and debris, choose a finish. Both sealers and stains are designed to seal out elements. Clear sealers contain no pigment, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to show through. Stains may contain a little pigment (labeled as “tone” or “transparent”), be semitransparent or come in solid colors.

Avoid paint, which can form a film on top of the wood and bubble or flake.

Can’t decide between a semitransparent stain and a waterrepellant sealer? Try using the sealer first. If you change your mind later, it’s easy to switch to a semitransparent stain when the deck needs to be refinished. If you do opt for a sealer, use one that contains ultraviolet light-blockers to protect against sun damage and mildewcides to inhibit the growth of mildew. * Add crown molding to a room Crown molding imparts an upscale, elegant air to any room - and you only need basic DIY tools to install it.

“Crown molding bridges the junction of walls and ceilings - a

prominent visual location where an architectural accent can really shine,” says Theresa. “While crown molding is a high-impact, higher-difficulty project, it’s well within the abilities of most DIYers. Plus, you probably already have the tools you need in your toolbox - with a miter saw, nails and a hammer, you can transform your favorite room with a custom finish.”

When choosing your molding, remember to keep a consistent scale from floor to ceiling. You may be tempted to install a wide, impressive crown molding and skimp on the base or casings, but molding sizes need to be balanced throughout the room. Wherever possible, use corner pieces, plinth blocks and other transition pieces - they make installation simpler, minimize the need for miter cuts and help joints stay closed despite seasonal changes in humidity. Finally, don’t paint your crown molding and trim. Instead, opt for a clear sealer and allow the natural texture of the wood to shine through, adding warmth, personalization and a natural touch to your interior decor. * Install wainscoting Wainscoting has long been a hallmark of fine construction and design. Wood paneling is applied to a lower section of wall - typically in dining rooms, but also in kitchens, hallways and even bedrooms. If you crave old-world elegance in your

modern home, wainscoting is an easy, cost-effective way to achieve that look. Depending on the style you select and how you choose to finish your wainscoting, you can create whimsy or elegance, rustic appeal or modern sophistication.

If you choose to panel with wainscoting, it’s important to ensure pieces are level. If yours will have a top cap, a router - a power tool used to bevel or round an edge on a square piece of wood - can provide nice detail at the top of panels. Finally, while wainscoting is frequently painted, there’s no rule that says you must paint yours. Consider a simple clear sealer or semitransparent stain that will allow the natural beauty and character of the wood to shine through.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

Austin Dillon Victory Team Wins NASCAR Xfinity Series At California Speedway

By Cristine Bobadilla Photos by William Casper Fans once again felt the ground move as the 19th annual NASCAR Auto Club 400 race came to Auto Club Speedway. It is the first race of the season on a two-mile track. Auto Club Speedway is unique because drivers are able to drive their cars low into the corners and slide up the race track to make passes; it is the only race in the country where you can see five cars racing side by side as the NASCAR Spring Cup Series contenders race each other.

The festivities started on Thursday, March 17th when Auto Club Speedway welcomes back NASCAR with the spectacle of a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Hauler Parade Stretching nearly a mile from first hauler to last. More than 40 NASCAR haulers will be staged throughout the day at the Quakes Stadium in Rancho Cucamonga. Fans are encouraged to stop by, snap a “selfie” with their favorite drivers’ hauler, and watch the parade begin. New to this year’s parade finish line is a St Paddy’s Day Fan fest that featured driver appearances, live music, vendors and family friendly entertainment in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Fan Zone at Auto Club Speedway.

Qualifying is held on Friday, which is the most important day of the week next to race day.

Teams will be testing their cars at the track where the race will be held.

In these test sessions, the crew chief and his team experiment with the cars, finding just the right setup that will allow a fast qualifying time on that particular track. The process involves a driver completing one or sometimes two laps around an empty track.

The whole idea is to go as fast as possible without losing control of the car or crashing, and at most tracks, qualifying speeds are often far greater than the highest speeds attained during the race. There are usually more drivers than the 43 available slots in a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, so getting a good qualifying speed is critical. Only the 39 fastest times qualify. The pole winner is the

Page 18

driver who runs the fastest lap and gets to start in the front row, usually in the inside position Saturday marks the running of the Treat My Clot 300.

With the track at Fontana being a speedway, the cars will hit higher than usual speeds as the track is wider than many of the tracks the drivers will race on this year. That means we could see a lot of three and four-car wide racing, which lends itself to more aggressive driving and crashes. One minor mistake or error on the part of the drivers could lead to a major pile up that affects the majority of the cars out there. Starting on the pole was Daniel Suarez, driver of the #19 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry. It looked like history was going to repeat itself for the fourth time in five races this season with Kyle Busch in the lead, but it was Austin Dillon grandson of team owner Richard Childress, who won Saturday’s XFINITY Series race at Auto Club Speedway in dramatic fashion when Busch blew out a tire on the final lap.

The last leg of the ‘West Coast Swing’ wraps up with the running of Sunday’s Auto Club 400. Saturday’s Xfinity winner Austin Dillon lead the

field to the green from the pole, it is his second career pole position.

It was Jimmie Johnson however that pulled away in overtime to beat Kevin Harvick on Sunday for the Southern California native’s record sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory at Fontana. Johnson was third on the late restart, but surged past leader Denny Hamlin while giving a little side bump to Kevin Harvick and easily got away for his 77th career victory.

Johnson clocked his fastest lap of the race to claim his second win of the young season, adding Fontana to Atlanta. The six-time series champion

has won three of his last eight races after a 20-race winless skid. Kevin Harvick was in position to win for the second consecutive week when second-place Kyle Busch once again blew a tire with two laps to go, forcing the race into overtime.

California fans will have to wait until the 2017 season to see their favorite drivers once again go for the win. If you would like to experience NASCAR firsthand, ticket and camping information is available on the speedway web site: www. autoclubspeedway.com or by calling the speedway at 1-866-771 RACE (7223)
