With its fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess, this hilarious and romantic Rodgers + Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA combines the story’s classic elements – glass slippers, pumpkin, and a beautiful ball along with some surprising twists. More than just a pretty face with the right shoe size, this Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairytale setting. She is a spirited young woman with savvy and soul who doesn’t let her rags or her gowns trip her up in hera quest for kindness, compassion and forgiveness. She longs to escape the drudgery of her work at home and instead work to make the world a better place. She not only fights for her own dreams, but forces the prince to open his eyes to the world around him and realize his dreams too.

book by Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical is directed by Mark Brokaw and choreographed by Josh Rhodes. Music adaptation, supervision and arrangements are by David Chase and orchestrations are by Danny Troob. One of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s most popular titles, CINDERELLA was written for television – debuting in 1957 starring Julie Andrews. In 2013, the show made its longoverdue Broadway debut. Along with CINDERELLA, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s legendary musicals include OKLAHOMA!, Carousel, The King and I, South Pacific and The Sound of Music. Mr. Beane’s book for CINDERELLA blends masterfully with the musical’s cherished score with songs including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/ It’s Possible,” “Ten Minutes Ago” and
“Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?” The creative team includes scenic design by Tony Award nominee Anna Louizos, costume design by six-time Tony Award-winner William Ivey Long, lighting design by Tony Award-winner Kenneth Posner and sound design by Tony Award nominee Nevin Steinberg. The CINDERELLA tour is produced by Robyn Goodman, Jill Furman, Stephen Kocis, Edward Walson, Venetian Glass Productions, The Araca Group, Caiola Productions, Roy Furman, Peter May, Sanford Robertson, Eric Schmidt, James Spry and Blanket Fort Productions.

cant get to the Farmers market? How to make the most of your grocery store’s produce aisle It’s the same story every year kids return to school, temperatures drop, summer vacation becomes a fading memory, its raining and the local farmers market is closed. While you may spend winter longing for the return of 80-degree days and sunny skies, you don’t have to miss out on your favorite fruits and veggies. Many are still available in local grocery stores and some smart tricks and choices can help you eat like the farmers market is still open ... all winter long. “The seasonal nature of farmers markets doesn’t have to keep you from reaping the benefits of fresh and locally grown produce,” says registered dietitian Paul Kriegler, assistant program manager for nutrition and weight loss, Life Time - The Healthy Way of Life Company. “The average store carries more than 45,000 different foods, so it’s important to know what to buy and what to avoid.” To eat as if the farmers market is open, keep these tips in mind on your next visit to the grocery store:
* Plan meals and menus for the week and make your shopping list accordingly. If you stick to your list, it will help you avoid impulse purchases. * Keep kids involved. If your children loved visiting the farmers market and learning how to eat healthy, there’s no reason you can’t continue their education in the grocery store. Take them shopping with you and give them a small budget so they can pick their own produce. Encourage them to pick fruits and vegetables from every color of the rainbow. * It’s not just folklore - if you shop while hungry, you’re more likely to make poor choices. “When you’re hungry, anything looks good, and junk looks even more appealing,” Kriegler cautions. “Have a healthful snack like a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit before you shop.” * Your diet should consist of mostly fruits and vegetables, so make the produce aisle the first stop when you visit the grocery store. If you fill your cart with more produce, you’ll have less room for less healthful choices.
* Shop from the outer aisles, where you’re most likely to find whole, unprocessed foods - like fresh produce. Inner aisle have more processed foods. * Don’t be afraid to try new things. As the seasons turn, new and unexpected items may appear in produce aisles. Varieties of squash begin appearing in September and staying through March, as well as turnips, rutabagas, carrots and other cool weather favorites. An online search can help you find new recipes for virtually any type of unfamiliar produce. Experimenting with new veggies and fruits can be exciting and nutritious! * Take advantage of store resources. Many grocery stores now include signage in the produce aisle that tells you where different items originated, how you might use them, flavor and nutrition - even recipes. If your grocery store offers free recipe cards beside a new vegetable, give both a try. * Whenever possible, buy organic. “I commonly hear the question, is
organic really necessary,” Kriegler says. “Your first goal is to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables your family eats, but once you’re doing that it’s important to choose organic produce. It will help you avoid toxins, herbicides and pesticides in your food that could affect your metabolism and cause other health problems.” * If you must buy prepackaged and labeled foods, read the ingredient list first. If it’s full of unrecognizable or unhealthy ingredients, put it back on the shelf and look for a better alternative. For more healthful living and nutrition information, visit LifeTimeFitness. com.
Creative twists turn up the heat on popular menu items The zing of fresh jalapeno peppers, tangy barbecue sauce and pickles so crisp they make your mouth tingle are all flavors to savor. But have you ever thought about using those awesome flavors in extraordinary new ways such as topping a cake with barbecue sauce, using jalapenos to make ice cream, or perking up deviled eggs with-pickles? Favorite dishes, presented with a twist, can make any fall gathering a special event, whether you’re barbecuing in the backyard or tailgating before the big game. Here are four favorite ingredients and some hot new ways to use them this season. 1. Jalapeno peppers - You love them on nachos and they wake up any omelet, but have you ever thought of adding jalapenos to ice cream? The combination of heat from the peppers, sweet from other ingredients such as fruit, and the coolness of the frozen treat make for a stimulating and unique experience. Pull out your ice cream maker and whip up a batch of chocolate jalapeno ice cream or mango-jalapeno sorbet. It’s easy to find such recipes online and in no time at all, you’ll create a dessert that’s both hot and cold Page 4
and will keep people talking until Christmas. 2. Pickles - While you love them all year long, pickles are among the royalty of condiments. Why not let them hold court in dishes where you might not usually expect them? Start with pickles that celebrate the essence of freshness, such as Farmer’s Garden by Vlasic in Kosher Dill Spears or Halves, or Zesty Garlic Chips. Made with farm-grown cucumbers, hand-picked garlic, carrots, peppers, herbs and spices, each jar is delivered fresh to-your grocery store. Free of preservatives and artificial colorings, they’re naturally low-fat and low-calorie. Toss pickles on the grill or use them to add zing to favorite dishes like deviled eggs. 3. Barbecue sauce - Grilled goodies surely would not be the same without barbecue sauce. It makes burgers bodacious and wings take flight. But imagine that spicy, savory zing paired with the intense richness of dark chocolate; it’s a match made in heaven. Barbecue sauce adds moisture and excitement to your favorite chocolate cake or cupcake recipe. 4. Watermelon - Plenty of fresh
The Ladera Ranch News
fruits find their way onto your plate, but few carry the weight (literally and figuratively) of this staple. Watermelon is a great ingredient for everything from salads and salsa to cocktails and Asian-style stir fry. You can even toss a wedge on the grill. Simply brush the edges with oil first to prevent sticking, grill just enough to warm the melon and add some grill marks, and then top it with thinly shaved prosciutto and blue cheese crumbles for a sweet and savory appetizer. If you’re ready to get adventurous with your ingredients, try this deviled egg recipe from Vlasic, which marries two tastes into one blissful union of flavor: Deviled Eggs Pickle Boat Ingredients: 6 eggs 1 teaspoon of mustard 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise 1 tablespoon of chives 1/2 a Farmer’s Garden Kosher Dill Half, finely chopped 2 pieces of red pepper from the Farmer’s Garden jar, finely chopped 1/2 Farmer’s Garden Kosher Dill Half, sliced thin into half moons for garnish Salt and pepper to taste Directions:
Boil or steam the eggs for 13 to 15 minutes. Immediately remove the eggs from the hot water and place in ice water to cool. When eggs are cool enough to handle, peel the shells, and split the eggs in half, separating the yolks from the whites. Place yolks in a bowl with mustard, mayo, salt and pepper, chives, chopped pickles and chopped red pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside. Place two half-moon pickle slices in each egg white half. Fill remaining egg white with yolk mixture, using a spoon or a piping bag. Top deviled eggs with fresh parsley and chill until ready to serve. Log on to www. farmersgardenvlasic.com/recipes for more great pickle recipes.

Ladera Ranch News is an independent weekly newspaper published every Friday. We are not owned or operated by any of the big daily newspapers. The views and opinions expressed are those of the publisher and not any organization. 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.
In what can only be described as a siege on police transparency, the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC), a statewide special interest group representing law enforcement officers is sponsoring two bills that would give officers the ability to single-handedly obstruct the public disclosure of body cam footage in California. California Newspaper Publishers Association is opposed to both bills. The first measure, AB 2533 by Assemblyman Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles) would require a public agency to provide a public safety officer a minimum of five business days’ notice before the agency could release any audio or video of the officer recorded by the officer on the Internet. One needs only to look back to
the events that followed the beating of Rodney King by LAPD officers as an example of the harmful effect of the bill. If AB 2533 was to become law, and a similar lightening-rod event occurred, an agency would be absolutely prevented by law from releasing the officer’s body cam recording of the beating while the graphic footage in the videos taken by all of the bystanders would appear on every TV and computer screen in the city. Instead of the outraged community’s suspicion and doubt being allayed by the department’s quick response and disclosure of the official record to avoid rioting and mayhem, it would be stoked by the city’s failure to be forthcoming - for five days. The second bill, AB 2611 by Assemblyman Evan Low (D-San
Jose) would automatically categorize body cam footage as an investigatory record under Govt. Code Sec 6254(f) in the same way that LAPD Chief Charlie Beck has already done by fiat in Los Angeles. AB 2611 would also allow an agency to withhold the footage if disclosure would endanger the privacy of a witness, victim or any other person (read law enforcement officer) involved in the investigation. Both measures are scheduled to be heard on April 12 in the Assembly Public Safety Committee. Given the strength of law enforcement’s lobbying force in Sacramento and the fact that both authors are members of the Public Safety Committee, it is highly likely that both bills will be pass out of the committee despite strong opposition from CNPA and the ACLU.

Crave beyond-the-beach excitement? Four must-try vacation ideas Heading on vacation? This year, instead of settling for just sitting on the beach, think about embarking on an experience-based adventure. “Whether you’re traveling with family, friends or by yourself, there are all kinds of activities to enhance your vacation experience,” says Jeanenne Tornatore, senior editor for the travel booking website Orbitz.com. Here are four ideas to get you started on planning your trip: Expand your skillset They say there is no time like the present. Your next vacation could be the perfect time to cross a lesson or two off your bucket list. The Hawaii Style Surf School offers training in surfing and paddle boarding in the calming currents off Maui’s coast. Learn something new Whether you are an expert or casual admirer of a subject, there is always more to learn. Consider vacationing where you can provide an educational experience for the entire family while still having a great time. The Ultimate Space Experience at Kennedy Space Center in Orlando offers an in-depth tour, lunch with an astronaut, and the chance to try the G-Force Simulator. Travel “back in time” Who says history can only be
taught in school? Many historic sites offer activities and tours that immerse travelers in the sights and sounds of the past. The WWII Pearl Harbor Heroes Adventure in Oahu, Hawaii, allows groups to walk in the exact footsteps of America’s most courageous heroes, see genuine artifacts from the era, and visit the deck of one of the world’s most famous battleships, the USS Missouri. Pump some adrenaline
OC MUSIC CENTER
For those seeking an adventure in the truest sense of the word, pushing yourself slightly out of your comfort zone can make for some great memories. So while the Grand Canyon is cool, you may want to try something even cooler. Try exploring one of the greatest sites in the world from a different perspective - a helicopter. The Grand Canyon Wind Dancer Helicopter Excursion, based out of Las Vegas, offers the
opportunity to see the region like you’ve never seen it before. Beach vacations can be great, but if you crave something new and exciting, it’s easy to find and book one-of-a-kind attractions, trips and tours - especially if you use online tools. So on your next vacation, why not try something you’ve never done before, and make some memories you’ll never forget?

Natural, balanced and beyond: Making sense of dog food labels Dogs are man’s best friend, so it’s only natural to want to give him the best care, from the veterinarian he goes to, right down to the food you put in his bowl every day. But in a world filled with an everexpanding array of choices, it can be hard to make sense of it all. However, getting to know the meaning behind the labels you see at the pet store will make it easier to give your four-legged friend the food he deserves. “Making sense of dog food labels can be a challenge and many owners aren’t sure where to start when it comes to choosing the best food for their pet,” says Dr. Jessica Vogelsang, veterinarian, petMD contributor and author of Pawcurious.com. “A single, seemingly simple word can have a much more complex meaning. But learning the story behind those words will tell you a lot about what you’re feeding your dog.” Vogelsang points out a few key words that dog owners should pay attention to: “Natural”: When it comes to dog food, the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), a body that sets voluntary standards for the pet food industry, defines “natural” as “a feed or ingredient derived solely from plant, animal or mined sources.” In practical terms, this means that a “natural” dog food, like Hill’s Ideal Balance, contains no chemically synthesized ingredients (aside from vitamins). “Balanced”: Pet food is formulated to be the sole source of your pet’s nutrition so it’s the ingredient ratios that are essential to making the food complete and balanced. This means that it has to strike
the right balance between macronutrients, like carbohydrates, fat, and protein, and micronutrients or vitamins and minerals. Macronutrients provide calories and both the amount of calories and the ratio of carbs, fat and proteins to one another are important for optimum pet health. Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals that the body uses in smaller amounts, but they are no less important. For example, minerals like calcium and phosphorous are essential to bone health and provided in the wrong amounts can cause health problems for your pet. “Grain-free”: Like people, some dogs have food
allergies and sensitivities and can benefit from a grain-free diet. “When you shop, read labels carefully, and consider the source,” Vogelsang says. “For instance, Hill’s has a long history of making leading dog foods, and their new Ideal Balance has been formulated by a team of pet nutritionists to provide your pet with natural ingredients perfectly balanced.” Providing your pup with healthy food is one of the best ways to ensure that you’ll share a long, happy life together. To learn more about feeding your dog well, visit petMD.com or Pawcurious.com.
Prepping tips for spring outdoor projects Soon, winter will be winding down and homeowners will start planning and prepping for - a variety of outdoor projects for spring. From cleaning, repairing or replacing decks, to creating raised beds for veggies and flowers, now is the time to start gearing up for those spring projects. Cleaning up Start with spring cleaning existing structures. Take a weekend to clean decks, gazebos and pergolas of dirt, debris, mold and mildew. For structures made of naturally durable Western Red Cedar, a broom, garden sprayer and hose, plus a little bleach are all you need. Sweep winter debris such as twigs and leaves from decks, taking care to clean between planks on horizontal
surfaces. This facilitates airflow and drainage, and can help prevent a buildup of moisture when spring showers arrive. Next, use a garden sprayer to apply a-mild oxygen bleach solution to kill mold and mildew. Be sure to leave the bleach solution on the wood surface for approximately 30 minutes, and then rinse with water. Never use a pressure washer as it can damage the wood. Maintenance and repair Carefully inspect outdoor structures for wear and tear. While Western Red Cedar contains natural preservatives that make the wood durable, all outdoor structures require annual care, including those made of pressure-treated lumber or composites. Check planks, beams and boards for cracking, warping or rough spots and repair accordingly. Replace damaged wood, and be sure to examine hardware to ensure it’s working properly and free of rust. New projects If you’ve always dreamed about lounging on a lovely deck on a summer afternoon, or savoring a spring morning beneath the shade of a decorative pergola, now’s the time
to start planning the project. A great deck is the showpiece of an inspired backyard, and spring is a prime time to add one. To ensure your deck affords you the most value and enjoyment, consider using an online deck planner to help you envision your deck before you begin building. As gardening grows in popularity, you might consider adding raised planting beds to your landscaping. Raised beds not only make caring for and harvesting your garden easier no bending required - they can also function as a decorative enhancement to your outdoor environment. The material you choose will influence the longevity, beauty and enjoyment of your structure, so carefully consider your options before deciding. “Many homeowners choose Western Red Cedar for its beauty and natural durability,” says Paul Mackie, western area manager, Western Red Cedar Lumber Association, or “Mr. Cedar” as he is known in the industry. “It has a deep, rich luster that other woods and man-made materials just can’t match. Plus, it’s a greener choice because it’s renewable and recyclable - unlike composites - and
doesn’t require chemical treatment as non-durable wood species do. It’s naturally rot and insect resistant, and you can stain it or leave it natural, depending on your preference.” The green qualities and durability of Western Red Cedar make it a great choice for virtually any outdoor structure - including those popular wooden playsets that begin appearing like wildflowers in backyards across the country every spring. Whatever project you’re dreaming of this spring - from building a new deck, pergola, or planting beds to refurbishing an existing outdoor structure or palyset - careful planning, cleaning, maintenance and the right materials can ensure your project adds value and beauty to your home environment.

The highly anticipated March 31st grand opening of Gelson’s on Crown Valley Parkway ushered in a new era in Mercantile West Ladera’s business landscape with while sadness loomed across the street over at Mercantile East where Kohl’s prepares to bid adieu. “This Kohl’s is closing?” one shopper exclaimed while exiting the almost 94,000 sq. ft. store off Antonio Parkway. “If this closes, I’ll guess I’ll just go to Macy,but there’s nothing like this nearby!” Wisconsin-based Kohl’s Corp. announced March 18th that Kohl’s at 27426 Antonio Parkway, Ladera Ranch, California was one of seven of its Southern California stores to close; one of 18 total stores nationwide. CEO Kevin Mansell said the stores to be closed account for less than 1 percent of the company’s sales. The closures are a shift away from the retailer’s aggressive expansion of stores in recent years across the country, Kohl’s said. Page 10

New gelson’s gets rave reviews Usually, Ladera’s Kohl’s department store is alive with music and busy shoppers but was practically empty on this partly cloudy Wednesday afternoon during CUSD’s Spring Break. The store seemed quiet. The loudest sound was the mechanical drumbeat of the empty escalators as the conveyor belts reached its second floor destination loudly before rotating back around the route. The racks and displays boasting “sale” were prominent throughout the store. Kohl’s, however, sat somewhat vacant despite the deals. The moderately priced department store will not be receiving any further stock, according to an employee straightening shoes on the sale rack. He contemplated the stores upcoming summertime closure and said that for him, it was possibly “a good time to make a career change”. Meanwhile, the tempo seemed more upbeat for those entering and exiting Gelson’s. many cars filled parking lot former Albertson’s and Haggen’s market location. “We need this,” longtime Ladera resident Evelyn boasted about Gelson’s, while her daughter unloaded groceries into their vehicle. “It’s a one-stop store. It’s wonderful. We love it!” her daughter Kim agreed.” It caters to everyone!” One woman wearing all white with gold accessories and neatly coiffed hair pushed her cart full of groceries to her car. She and two lady friends traveled from Rancho Santa Margarita. “We love this store. The service is great; the setting is pleasant. It’s a Godsend, It has acoustic tiles, so when you go in you can think about what you need without all the hub-bub.” Another mother-daughter duo from Ladera, said they were very impressed with the new grocery store. “It’s very clean and spacious,” the mother said. “The prices are a little higher, but we expected that. Hopefully they will have more sales.” Gelson’s Markets, founded in 1951 by brothers Bernard and Eugene Gelson is recognized as one of the nation’s premier supermarket chains, says its’ website (www.gelsons.com). Each location is singularly known as the area’s best market for superior produce, highest quality meat, seafood and deli, an unmatched selection of wine and liquor, and exceptional service, according to Gelsons.com. A local Sendero Mother of four made her way to the parking lot following a trip to Gelson’s with her nine-year-old son who clearly pays attention to local supermarkets. “We love it – a big difference from Pavilions!” he smiled. “They really switched things up here and the store is very organized.” His mom agreed. Ladera’s Gelson’s is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Some of the store’s highlights are: a carry out full service deli and carving cart (select hours only); bakery; market pharmacy; child seat shopping carts and shopping carts for customers with disabilities; coffee bar; custom and ready-made gift baskets; dining area; extensive floral department; fine selection of natural and Kosher foods; gourmet cheese section; hot food bar; olive cart; soup and salad bar and welllit parking, clearly designed to attract shoppers from Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Ladera Ranch

With 38 entries in the class, FEI course designer Manuel Esparza (MEX) designed a track that worked for varying levels of competitor experience and produced ten clear rounds. Of the five double clean rides, veteran pair Susan Hutchison and Ziedento (St. Bride’s Farm, owner) took the top prize. Also at 1.40m in height, the first Interactive Mortgage U25 Series Qualifier of the season ran simultaneously, with Santiago Vallarta and Go For Me earning the blue ribbon. Esparza set an expansive track that wound throughout the grand prix field, starting and finishing with jumps strategically placed by the ingate. Time on course was set a touch tight, requiring an accurate track. Fourteen riders finished with time faults, with four entries acquiring only time penalties on what would have otherwise been fault-free rounds. One of those four was thirteen-year-old Hannah Loly riding Asombro (Melanie Brooks, owner). Competing in her first grand prix, Loly finished with just three faults on the clock. Hutchison had two in the jump-off, and was first to return on Barbara Phillips’ Brisbane. The two set a speedy time of 42.32 seconds but had the last fence down to finish on a four fault score.

5 tips for a satisfying spring cleaning Of the many projects and activities people put on their annual to-do lists, few loom as large as spring cleaning. If you suddenly feel a burst of energy and a need to shake out the dreariness of winter, you’re not alone. While it may seem like a chore, many look forward to spring cleaning, and with good reason. It’s a time to open up your home, let in the fresh air and get it ready for the warmer months. To help you get the most out of your spring cleaning, here are five essential and unexpected tips to make your home blossom this spring. 1. Make a game out of it. Get your kids to help out by turning work into a game. For instance, in the yard, you can have them compete to collect the most sticks. And if they love banging on pots and pans, they’ll be great helpers when it comes to shaking out rugs or upholstered furniture that need some tough love. 2. Let in the fresh air. Naturally, you’ll throw open some windows to let in the fresh air, but to really chase out the odors that have accumulated after months of being closed in, you need to do more. To make your home smell fresh, boil water with two tablespoons of baking soda and a lemon peel for a serious odor-fighting solution.
3. Change your light bulbs. An easy way to spruce up your home is by brightening it up with new lighting. Replacing old bulbs in every room with energy efficient Philips LED A19 bulbs will not only save you money on your energy bills, but will help create a comfortable and relaxing environment in your home. With LEDs lasting ten years, this is one task you can cross off your list for years to come. 4. Wax on, wax off. As a matter of routine, we dust, sweep, mop and scrub around the house, but too often forget to wax wooden furniture. Not only does waxing add a shine to wood, it gives it an added layer of protection and increases its longevity. 5. Get rid of all that clutter. A lot can accumulate over the course of those winter months: unused gifts from the holidays, old and worn winter clothes, and maybe even a damaged sled or two. Your first impulse might be to hang on to this stuff or just find more storage space, but be bold and get rid of it! Whether you kick these items to the curb or donate them locally, having a clutter-free house heading into the summer months is an unbelievable feeling. There are few things as satisfying as a good spring cleaning, and
once you’re finished, you might be exhausted, but both you and your home will feel rejuvenated. And with 4-packs of Philips LED A19 bulbs now available at The Home Depot for just $9.97, there’s never been a
more affordable time to transform your home into a clean, efficient and comfortable place, filled with the liveliness and fresh smells of the season. -(BPT)
Ask the Pharmacist: Caregivers, ta ke care Approximately 42 million Americans provide unpaid care to an ill or disabled adult and new research shows the stress associated with this responsibility can have a negative effect on a person’s health. Express Scripts research paired an analysis of prescription claims with a telephone survey of more than 12,000 commercially-insured Americans ages 18 to 65, and discovered use of medications to treat stress-related conditions, including high blood pressure, depression, anxiety and ulcers, is higher among
caregivers. In fact, the use of antianxiety medications is 29 percent greater with caregivers compared to non-caregivers. “As a member of the ‘sandwich generation’ I know first-hand how hard it can be to care for everyone who needs you, including yourself,” says Paul Reyes, Express Scripts’ pharmacist and host of the Ask the Pharmacist radio series. “But if your role as a caregiver negatively impacts your own health, no one benefits.” Caregivers are the unsung heroes of our healthcare system, helping
many people live with dignity within their community. With the demand for caregivers expected to increase as baby boomers reach age 65 (the 65+ age group is expected to top 70 million in 2030), it’s important that caregivers know how to prevent their important role from deteriorating their own health. Reyes offers these tips for caregivers to keep their health on track: * Practice healthy habits: Daily exercise and a good night’s sleep can reduce stress and improve health. Those with a busy lifestyle can start small by building in five to 10 minutes of physical activity into their day and going to bed a few minutes earlier each night. * Make personal time a priority: Set aside time every day - even a few minutes - to socialize with family and friends, read or meditate. If your loved one receives Medicare or Medicaid services, speak with a caseworker about respite resources for extended time off. * Don’t ignore depression: Understand what signals signs of depression: continuous low mood,
low self-esteem, lack of motivation, neglecting hobbies and unexplained aches and pains. If you think you may be depressed, talk to your doctor immediately and consider caregiving support groups or professional counseling. * Use online resources: At Express Scripts, their website and mobile app can make managing prescriptions for you and your patient easier, and reduce the administrative burden associated with care-giving. Home delivery can be a convenient way to receive medications and ensure you don’t miss a dose, and specialist pharmacists, who understand your unique needs, can provide additional support and counsel for you and your loved one. * Don’t do it alone: Talk with your family members, friends, neighbors, your religious community or local civic organizations like the Boy and Girl Scouts of America - about available support services. The Department of Health and Human Services has an online resource to help connect caregivers with locally available support services.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $1,004,227.75 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. 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.
