Mimi Walters Nominates Tesoro Student Allen Shadan to Air Force Academy By Representative Mimi Walters One of my greatest honors as the representative for California’s 45th Congressional District is nominating students to attend our nation’s prestigious service academies. These include the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Attending a service academy is an exceptional honor, reserved for our nation’s brightest and most talented students who exemplify the strongest leadership skills and highest character. With this

Representative Mimi Walters

honor comes the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. Every graduate becomes a commissioned officer with the rank of second lieutenant or ensign. While answering this noble call comes with much sacrifice, it also represents the beginning of a long and gratifying career of civil service and patriotism. Every academy but one – the U.S. Coast Guard Academy – requires applicants to be nominated by their U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator in order to be considered for admission. The process is highly competitive, as I can only nominate up to ten students from California’s 45th District to each academy. I recently had the privilege of nominating Tesoro High School senior Allen Shadan to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy, where he will begin attending this fall. A resident of Rancho Santa Margarita, Allen is a bright student, tremendous athlete, and well respected young man. Not only has he excelled in his many Advanced Placement courses, but he has also been a nationally ranked gymnast for the past four years. His teachers and coaches emphasized his tremendous work ethic and willingness to push himself in every setting. Perhaps most importantly, though, was the consistent recognition of his thoughtfulness and kindness to everyone around him. It was truly an honor to nominate Allen to the U.S. Air Force Academy, and I look forward

Allen Shadan to seeing all of the incredible things that he will accomplish moving forward. If you have any questions about attending a U.S. service academy or if my office may be of assistance to you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me at walters.house.gov or at (949) 263-8703. Mimi Walters represents California’s 45th Congressional District, which includes the cities and communities of Rancho Santa Margarita, Coto de Caza, Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Irvine, Tustin, North Tustin, Villa Park, Orange and Anaheim Hills.

National Poppy Day honors veterans’ sacrifice for freedom Even in the darkest of times, flowers still find their way to the surface to bloom. Poppy seeds can lay fallow for years, yet bloom brilliantly when the soil is disturbed or when the soil is freshly dug. After the battles were fought in World War I, the blood red poppy flourished in France and Belgium when battlefields became burial grounds. The red flowers suddenly bloomed among the newly dug gravesites of fallen service members, turning the new graveyards into fields of red. Surviving soldiers came to see the poppy as more than a flower - it became a symbol of their sacrifice; a tribute to the price of freedom. Although all WWI veterans have since passed, 100 years later, the poppy has become a universal display of the sacrifices made by Americans and allied service members around the world. Historically, Americans have worn poppies in observance of Memorial Day and Veterans Day. While other nations honor veterans in their own way, this year, Congress is poised to proclaim the Friday before Memorial Day as National Poppy Day in the United States. The inaugural National Poppy Day will be May 26, 2017. National Poppy Day is a strong renewal of our nation’s commitment to a powerful reminder of the cost of Page 4

our freedom with 100 years of rich tradition. Millions of people worldwide wear the poppy as a call to honor living veterans and those who lost their lives. The custom can be traced back to 1918 when Moina Michael popularized the idea of wearing a poppy flower in memory of the lives lost in WWI. She drew inspiration from the poem In Flanders Fields, written by WWI Colonel John McCrae in his sorrow at looking at rows and rows of graves where his comrades had been recently buried. In the decades that followed, poppies have been worn, displayed and distributed for fundraising efforts for veterans service organizations around the world. To observe National Poppy Day, all citizens are encouraged to wear the poppy to honor those who sacrificed their lives to provide them their freedom from WWI a century ago, to today’s global war on terror. “As an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran, it is heartening to see people wearing the red poppies throughout the year as a tribute to those who have served in our military, especially those who fought and died for our freedom. The poppy was significant to my great grandfather who fought in World War One. It still holds the same meaning today that it did nearly 100 years ago. It’s such a simple thing Americans can do to

The Ladera Ranch News

honor the sacrifices that people in the military make to protect our country,” says active-duty veteran Matthew Geczy. The American Legion Family, the chief advocate of the effort to establish an official Poppy Day, has had a connection to the poppy flower since the early 1920s when it was adopted as their official memorial flower to pay homage to the battlefields of WWI. Since then, they have made it their mission to support the military community by promoting the significance of the flower and the meaning behind it. Each year, members and volunteers connected to the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA), one of the nation’s most prominent supporters of veterans’ rights, leverage the poppy in service to the veteran community through Poppy Day distributions and outreach. ALA volunteers hand out red paper or silk paper poppies in exchange for donations that go directly to support veterans. Many of those poppies are made by hospitalized and disabled veterans as a form of rehabilitation and a source of income through this ALA program. In 2016, ALA members throughout the U.S. distributed over 16 million red paper poppies and raised $6 million in donations that went directly to help the veterans who made them. Donning a poppy this National

Poppy Day is one simple way to show gratitude for a community that has given their lives to protect ours, but your support does not have to stop there. The ALA values any and all contributions to support our nation’s heroes, and you are also encouraged to wear the poppy year round. On May 26, the inaugural National Poppy Day, watch for volunteers of The American Legion Auxiliary distributing poppies and collecting donations to support our veterans and current service members. Wear a poppy and show them that you respect and honor their sacrifices. Visit www.ALAforVeterans.org to learn more. - (BPT)

M a k e a s t r i k i ng f o c a l p o i n t t h e foundation of your spa-like bathroom American homeowners’ desire for spa-like bathrooms shows no signs of waning, says the latest Design Trends report by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). From freestanding bath tubs and floating vanities to LED lighting and soothing color schemes, some of the mostrequested bathroom renovations focus on creating the atmosphere of luxury and calm found in world-class spas. With the average mid- to upscale bathroom remodeling costing in the range of $30,000, homeowners are also looking for the most costeffective way to create that spa-like feeling. Many are opting to build their bathroom renovations around a focal point, such as a freestanding tub or luxury shower, and round out the effect with more modest accessories and fixtures. Choosing a focal point Homeowners are choosing to install freestanding soaking tubs in their master bathrooms, in particular, to create an exclusive sanctuary of relaxation. In fact, in 2016 half of NKBA members were asked to install freestanding tubs in bathroom remodels, and 60 percent expect to be doing more of them in 2017. Traditionally styled freestanding tubs were often claw-footed fixtures that meshed well with conventional design themes, but struggled to fit into the sleek, contemporary lines associated with a spa-like setting. Strikingly modern freestanding tubs offer expanded design flexibility as a focal point in today’s spa-inspired bathroom settings. Options like the American Standard Coastal-Serin Freestanding Tub in high-gloss cast acrylic enhance the deep soaking space of a luxurious tub with a clean, simple and modern profile that fits well in spa-like bathroom design. Few bathroom fixtures speak of luxury as clearly and loudly as a showpiece bathtub. A deep, sumptuous freestanding tub not only provides a restful spot for a soothing soak after a long day, it also serves as a striking visual focal point for modern baths.

Considering Fixture Alternatives Already have a standard alcove tub, but still want to create your spa at home? Try installing a deep soak tub drain, which has a unique overflow feature that allows 2-inch deeper water than a standard bathtub drain. This universal drain works in most standard bathtubs - and that could be yours. Replacing a standard toilet seat with an upscale option like the DXV AT100 SpaLet Electronic Bidet Seat furthers the luxuriousness of the bathroom without the cost commitment and permanency of installing a full bidet. Its heated seat, choice of water temperature and volume for the two cleansing wands, and the oh-so-decadent warm air dryer are the ultimate self-indulgence to bring the spa right into your home. Wood vanities and storage cabinets for bath linens continue to be popular with today’s consumers. Floating vanities and open shelving, which are gaining in use with interior designers and homeowners alike, can further the effect of an upscale spa by creating a visually clean, uncluttered effect. Rounding out the theme Soft, pale greens and aquas have long been associated with spa-like design, but in 2017 bathroom color choices are trending toward grays, off whites, blues and violets, according to the Design Trends report. Sedate and

subtle are the hallmarks of spa color schemes, so when choosing yours keep in mind the calm effect you want to achieve. Also, remember your color scheme doesn’t have to be limited to the walls; consider incorporating your chosen colors into cabinetry, countertops and accessories. Flexible lighting is also key for a spa-like bathroom. Remember to incorporate brighter lighting where you’ll need it most, such as around vanities, and add features like dimmers that will allow you to reduce the amount of light in the room when you want to create a relaxing atmosphere. Finally, adding touches that appeal to all your senses, such as music, mood lighting and aromatherapy can elevate a bathroom to a spa-like environment. Whether you opt for a full surround system in your bathroom or add waterproof blue tooth speakers in the shower, it’s easy to bring music into your spa bath. Scent adds yet another layer of luxury and is easy to achieve, whether you choose a simple arrangement of essential oils and diffuser reeds or an electronic diffuser that gently mists aroma into the room. Americans view their bathrooms as more than just a room to take care of business. Infusing your master bathroom with spa-like features can turn the room into an oasis of relaxation and luxury. - (BPT)

hospitalized Vets Give Back the Love By: Andy Costello Monday May 8th was the first of three visits by the Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Elks to patients at the Long Beach Veterans Hospital to play Bingo, serve them food and soft drinks, give them lap blankets and toiletries. Ten Elks made the trip to be with the hospitalized Vets, who always appreciate the company and gifts provided by an Elks visit. Dennis Lumley Elks Lodge Veterans Chairman said of the visit, “I don’t know, who enjoys the visit more. We might like it as much as they do.” Elks Orange Coast District Veterans Committee Chairman Dave Perry led the visitation and said one of the patients Marine Cpl Joseph Campbell asked him what he did in the Marines. Perry said “I told him I was a Corpsman and I was startled when Orange Coast District Veterans Committee Chairman Dave Perry with Marine Cpl this big Marine stood up and gave me a great big Joseph Campbell. hug. He said, ‘Thanks buddy for taking such good care of us guys out there, and here you are at the hospital, still taking care of us.’” Perry went on to say, “That was more thanks than I could ever have expected. It was very humbling.” 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.

Memorial Day Table Setting Ideas

Memorial Day is great time to celebrate and have fun! We often gather for and plan parties, lunches, events or dinners on this wonderful occasion. It is nice to present our food and drinks on a wonderfully decorated table. If you are hosting such an event, here are some great tips for decorating your table on Memorial Day! My first and favorite choice is the red, white and blue table setting. This is a pretty and colorful way to show your Memorial Day spirit! This table setting idea has many variations that you can choose from! You can use a red table cloth, blue table cloth or white table cloth for this table setting. My favorite is the red table cloth. It does not show spills and stands out. I like to use white plates. If it is an informal gathering or party, white paper plates can be used, though I recommend the plastic plates or sturdiest plates you can find. This will make your guests more comfortable and they will be less likely to spill their plate. Use white napkins. This can be paper napkins or cloth ones. Serve the beverages in blue cups. They can be blue plastic cups or blue glasses. The effect of the white plates, white napkins and blue cups look very nice on a red tablecloth. Add a beautiful basket or vase of red, white and blue carnations in the center of the table. I like to use silk flowers. If you like, you can use real red and white carnations. For an added touch, place small flags in the vase or basket, among the flowers! If you decide to use a blue table cloth, use red or white plates, white napkins and blue or red plastic cups or clear cups or clear glasses. If you use a white table cloth, red

plates, white napkins and blue cups or glasses look wonderful. For silverware, any type can go with this idea, even white plastic. This Memorial Day table setting is easy to set up and very affordable. It looks great! For a Spring like look that is festive and very pretty, use a flowered table cloth. For plates, the color choice is white, napkins can be white and the beverages can be served in clear plastic cups or clear glasses. Use silverware or white plastic ware. A large vase of all different types and colors of flowers look great in the center of this table setting. You can also just use white carnations in a basket. This table setting is colorful, attractive and very easy to do. It is very nice and makes a great Memorial Day table setting, if you do not wish to use the red, white and blue color theme. For an outdoor gathering, a red and white checkered table cloth looks very festive with white plates, white napkins, white plastic ware and red or blue cups or glasses. My preference is using red cups or glasses. I like keeping to the red and white theme on this idea. It looks fancy, yet simple. I add a basket or vase of red and white carnations to the center of the table and it gives the table setting a fun and fancy look. This Memorial Day table setting is sure to please! Depending on how much money you want to spend, you can find many Memorial Day themed table cloths to buy. Some are flag themed and some are red, white and blue checkers, stripes or a mix. If you use these, use white napkins, white

plates, white plastic ware or silverware, and blue cups or blue glasses. Place a basket or vase of white carnations in the center of the table. You can also place small flags in the flower arrangement. This table setting idea is creative and looks great! These Memorial Day table setting ideas are sure to make your holiday table look special. They are very easy to do and cost very little. Your table will look beautiful, festive and fun!

FIVE FAMOUS CHARACTERS WILL CHARM THE CHILDREN AT THE 59th ANNUAL GARDEN GROVE STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL Strawberry Festival Will Be Honoring Jack Wallin A local Volunteer Five famous characters will be on hand to charm the children at the 59th annual Garden Grove Strawberry Festival on May 28th, 2017. Knott’s Berry Farms’ Snoopy will return for his eighth year to thrill the special needs families on Special Kids Day and will return to ride in the Saturday, May 28th parade. This will be the second year the festival parade will have two Minions from Despicable Me and Wiley the Wolf from Great Wolf Lodge. The new addition is the popular Poop Daddy from the new soon-to-be-released Emoji movie.

Instead of riding in the parade, this year the two Minions will be on festival grounds from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. near the Courtyard Center ready to have their photos taken with kids of all ages. The festival will be held Memorial Day Weekend Friday, May 26th through Monday, May 29th, 2017. Friday hours are 1:00 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Monday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free. The four-day event, which is the second largest city festival in the Western United States, will be held at the Village Green between Main Street and Euclid Avenue in downtown Garden Grove. Last year’s attendance was over 300,000. In his late 80s, Jack Wallin has served continuously on the festival board for 59 years. He says he has remained on the board because he likes the people and because it is for a good cause: helping local charities. As the board member in charge of grounds and rides, Jack spends two solid weeks every year setting up the festival. He coordinates layout

and ride setup with the carnival company, and works the grounds all four days of the huge Memorial Day weekend event. Jack says he plans to resign when he physically can no longer do his job. Donations to date have topped $6.5 million. “I’m honored to have been part of an organization that has done so much good for the community,” he says, “last year raising over $150,000 for local charities, student scholarships and youth projects.” The festival also treats over 2,000 special needs kids to a day of free rides and food. In addition, he works at Kiwanisland tending the grounds and handling reservations. He has served the Boys and Girls Club of Garden Grove, the Soroptimist Club and others, and has been honored often for his outstanding community service, including Cypress College Americana Citizen of the Year from Garden Grove, Garden Grove Man of the Year, Garden Grove Kiwanian of the Year, and Garden Grove Elks Lodge Citizen of the Year.

ELKS WELCOME HOME MARINES WITH HOME-COOKED DINNER By: Michael Klinger The Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Elks were at Camp Pendleton eight months ago to cook breakfast and send off 300 marines who were being deployed. This past Thursday seven Mission Viejo Elks Charity Committee members woke up at the crack of dawn to caravan down to Camp Pendleton for a very special homecoming. Their mission: to serve meals, that day and the next to almost 200 Marines and their families returning from an unknown region near Afghanistan, after their deployment October 2016. Eight months of defending our freedom. When the Mission Viejo Elks adopted Combat Logistics Battalion 11 unit of 300 Marines led by Lt. Col Patrick J. Reynolds last Fall, they did not realize the impact they would have. Mary Reynolds, wife of the team leader, notified MV Elks Past District Deputy Harvey Boelts that the first wave of those Marines would be returning in mid-May. Harvey quickly organized the Elks’ own volunteer team, purchased food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, rented a bobtail truck and packed everything necessary to mount the charge. Laura Boelts (daughter-in-law) was able to secure cases and cases of Monster Page 10

Energy Drinks for the homecoming troops, all donated from a local distributor. Then, after a long day of anticipation, the first wave of Marines arrived through the mist over the Pacific in small watercraft launched from the mother ship not far off the coast. Joy and relief rang through

crowd as “dinner was served” by the Elks…the first home-cooked meal on American soil in over 8 months. The Marines and their families were so gracious and appreciative of the efforts of the Elks, just as the Elks are proud and appreciative of the Marines and the Armed Forces. After returning to the Elks lodge around 11pm, the

Elks volunteers had smiles on their faces. It was a long but satisfying day. And they did it all again the very next day. An important part of the Elks creed is, “…always remember that Charity is the greatest of all the virtues and that is should ever rule us in our hearts and in our lives....”

The History of Memorial Day

by Amanda Austin Memorial Day is more than just a weekend off from work, an excuse to throw a picnic, or a reason to take a weekend trip, it is a national holiday. The history behind Memorial Day seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle throughout the years. With May 27th growing closer, take time to familiarize yourself with the history of Memorial Day, and why we celebrate this holiday. Memorial Day, originally known as “Decoration Day,” was established on May 5 1868 by General John Logan, the national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. The first observation of Memorial Day took place on May 30th 1868, by decorating the graves of fallen Union and Confederate soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery. Here is an excerpt from General Logan’s “General Orders No. 11,” officially declaring “Decoration Day.” “The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such

fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.” New York was the first state to officially recognize Memorial Day as a Holiday in 1873, and all of the Northern states had followed suit by 1890. The Southern states didn’t recognize Memorial Day until after World War 1 when it was changed from recognizing soldiers who lost their lives fighting in the Civil War, to soldiers who lost their lives fighting in any war America participated in. The reason that students and

employees are given the day off on Memorial Day, is so they can properly observe the holiday. When the holiday was originally established nationally it was intended to give patrons the opportunity to visit the graves of our fallen soldiers, attend memorials, fly the American flag at half staff until noon, and acknowledge the “National Moment of Remembrance” at 3:00 PM. The “National Moment of Remembrance” is when everyone has a moment of silence and if you are in a public place “Taps” is played.

So, this year on Memorial weekend take a moment to remember why you don’t have to go to work or school. If you are taking a trip with your family, make your rest stop at a memorial or Veteran’s cemetery and observe the men who have fought for our country. If you are having a get together at your home, or attend one at someone else’s home, give a little speech at 3:00 and call for a moment of silence to remind your friends and family why you are all able to get together that weekend.

14-year-old scientist aims to solve the energy crisis The family trip. For most kids it’s a chance to relax, visit a new destination, collect souvenirs, and create stories and memories to share with their friends throughout the year. For 14-year-old Maanasa Mendu, however, the family trip provided her with a vision of how she needed to change the world. Mendu’s spur for innovation came during a family trip to India where she witnessed firsthand the energy scarcity experienced in regions of the world far from her native Ohio. The family makes the visit every summer, and during this particular visit, as she experienced persistent blackouts, Mendu knew she had to do something about it. So she got to work. With an idea in her head, she found her opportunity to grow and develop it through the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. The competition challenges students to create an innovation that solves a real-world problem affecting their global, national or local communities. Nature inspired Mendu to solve the problem of unreliable power. By harnessing wind, solar and rain energy, she created a device that could provide energy in any rural or urban environment. Her early

prototypes used recycled soda bottles hanging from a tree. She then attached solar panels like leaves and while these prototypes looked simple, they actually captured energy - as much as 9 volts with her third prototype. Mendu used this discovery and her work thus far to enter the Young Scientist Challenge by recording a two-minute video describing the science behind her innovation. Judges evaluated her video based on her creativity, scientific knowledge, persuasiveness and overall presentation, and liked what they saw. Mendu was named a competition finalist and paired with a mentor, 3M senior product development engineer Margaux Mitera, to further develop her project. For Mendu, the partnership with her 3M mentor ignited myriad new possibilities. “My mentor, Margaux was amazing and I learned so much about the process of innovation working with her. She truly exemplified how collaboration is key to success!” she remembers. Mitera’s sentiments were mutual. “Maanasa is such a bright, enthusiastic young woman. It was really a pleasure to work with her and help her project grow. I can’t wait to

see what she will do in the future.” With Mitera’s help, Mendu learned the four C’s of science: collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking. She was also able to meet with Mitera at the 3M Innovation Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, where each of the finalists arrived on October 16, 2016. Mendu and her fellow finalists all had the opportunity to present their projects before a panel of judges, including 3M scientists. When the competition was over, Mendu’s idea to deliver electricity to impoverished regions earned her the title of America’s Top Young Scientist. The victory also awarded her $25,000, but Mendu isn’t looking toward the future just yet. She’s still busy in the present, perfecting her design, so she can help impoverished people around the world as soon as possible. “Along the way I have learned so much about the process of innovation,” she says of the project. “Innovation is more than just a lightbulb moment, it’s about being creative, trying new approaches and learning from your mistakes. I’ve began to realize the truth in the saying, “Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” Mendu is dedicated to continuing her process of innovation for those

14-year-old Maanasa Mendu presents her innovation. who live every day without energy. The Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge Mendu won the 2016 Young Scientist Challenge with an idea and a dream. Nominations for the 2017, challenge are still open. To enter, students in grades 5-8 must submit a one- to two-minute video no later than April 19, 2017, describing the science behind their new innovation or solution to solve an everyday problem. The problem could be one experienced half a world away, as was the case with Mendu’s, or it could be one you encounter every day. The only limit to your scientific solution is your own imagination.

CHOC Follies XX Nets More Than $1 million for CHOC Children

The Ladera Ranch News

Skipper Tim Berkowitz, Mark Pilon with Chad Riley More than 2500 folks were brought back to the year 1950 when the original production of “CHOC Around the Clock” held four performances at the Robert B. Moore Theatre in Costa Mesa and netted $1.025 million for CHOC Children. Founded by Gloria Zigner in 1997, the CHOC Follies has mobilized thousands of Orange County residents to sing, dance and delight audiences with hilarious original musical comedies. Netting over $9 million in donations for CHOC Children’s, the CHOC Follies has become a powerful Orange County institution. By the numbers, for the past 20 years, there have been over 1500 cast members who have been entertaining people in 80 performances - me being one of them for eight of those years! My last performance was in 2007 when the CHOC Follies was held at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. This year’s production showcased the talents of 85 prominent business and civic leaders who rocked the stage while audience members sang along and tapped their feet to some of the most memorable hits of the 50s. The story was a fun and fast-paced journey to Orange County, circa 1956. With the help from Director John Vaughan, Music Director Doug Austin and Choreographer Lee Martino, who have been with the Follies since day one, the group seems to pull off the feat seamlessly providing family fun for all. “The Follies is a heart-warming demonstration of the community’s support Temre Vouga with Sandy Segerstrom Daniels and Mia Maffei of CHOC’s mission,” said CHOC President and Chief Executive Officer Kimberly Chavalas Cripe. “We are grateful to the cast and crew for their dedication. I want to especially recognize Gloria for her vision and her 20 years of enthusiastic devotion to this one-of-a-kind fundraiser, raising millions to advance pediatric healthcare in our community.” Memorable performances by Mark Pilon who played Forrest Malcolm Cash, IV; Louis Berlin with his Joey Baloney New York Italian accent; “Brandy Treacle” played by Juliet Fischer Schulein, and the antics of Boom-Boom Bango by Diane Marshall brought smiles to everyone in attendance. When Chris Senesac played “Dean Dude” and sang (and danced) to the song “The Wanderer”, all the ladies swooned; however, when the 25 tappers came out and tapped their hearts out to Hit the Road Jack, it was apparent most in the audience wanted to tap with them! Skipper Tim, Diane Modina and Mia Moffet have been with the cast since the beginning – giving their time and expertise to the CHOC Follies for all 20 years. Local dignitaries, major donors and other VIPs were invited to the cast party. During Friday night’s performance, the cast honored Follies Founder and Executive Producer Gloria Zigner by singing the chorus of the song “Gloria.” They also presented her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and an art piece Co-Chairs: SueAnne Cross, Sandy Segerstrom Daniels, and Leslie depicting her 20 years with the production. “As we celebrate or 20th year, I am overwhelmed by the dedication and Cancelleri loyalty of our sponsors, cast and crew for supporting the CHOC Follies for so many years,” said Zigner. “I want to express my deep appreciation to our co-chairs, past and present, Sandy Segerstrom Daniels, Dale Skiles, SueAnn Cross, Leslie Cancellieri, Betty Belden-Palmer, Cathy Leffleur-Cimoch, Julie Davidson and Michael Cipolla. I also want to give special recognition to Associate Producer Lois Augustine, Director John Vaughan, Music Director Doug Austin and Choreographer Lee Martino, who have been the foundation of the Follies for all 20 years.” The money raised for CHOC Follies XX support CHOC’s KidsCare Fund (clinical care, research and education). Named one of the best children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report (2016-2017) and a 2016 Leapfrog Top Hospital for the highest quality of care, CHOC Children’s is exclusively committed to the health and wellbeing of children through clinical expertise, advocacy, outreach, education and research that brings advanced treatment to pediatric patients. Affiliated with the University of California, Irvine, CHOC’s regional health care network includes two state-of-the- art hospitals in Orange and Mission Viejo, many primary and specialty care clinics, a pediatric residency program, and four clinical centers of excellence – the CHOC Children’s Heart, Neuroscience, Orthopaedic and Hyundai Cancer Institutes.

Start the Summer off Right - Memorial Day Safety Tips!

Next weekend is Memorial Day Weekend. “Let’s all take part by being responsible for our self and others says Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna.” Here are a few safety tips: Travel Safety • Buckle up, slow down, don’t drive impaired. • Be well rested, alert and patient; give your full attention to the road. Do not text and drive! • Let someone know your destination, your route, and when you Page 14

expect to arrive. Water Safety Paddle Board? Jet Ski? It’s all harmless fun, right? Fun, certainly. But think before you play. Whatever the activity, observe these three cardinal rules: • Wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. • Know local weather conditions. Make sure the water and weather conditions are safe. Let others know when you hit the water and when you plan to return!

The Ladera Ranch News

• Learn to swim. Do not swim alone or leave children unattended! Let someone know where and what time your leaving and intend on returning! Grill Safety This fun seasonal ritual has a flip side, though—namely, an onset of injuries and home fires due to careless cooking practices. Here are some tips you can follow to stay safe while enjoying those tasty treats at your cookout. • Never grill indoors or unattended

– not in your house, camper, tent or any enclosed area. • Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, the deck, tree branches, or anything that could catch fire. Hot grease or ashes could spill from the grill onto the wooden deck or into dry leaves or grass. For additional safety tips go to: http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/docs/ advisories/safe-memorial-day-weekend.pdf Happy Memorial Day and Be Safe!

sAN GiOvANNi risTOrANTE cLOsiNG sATUrDAY, MAY 27TH San Giovanni is closing their doors and saying good-bye after more than 25 years. John and Austa Guarascio, the owners of San Giovanni, would like to thank the community of Rancho Santa Margarita and environs, for their loyal patronage and support over the years. We have hosted generations of guests, seeing their families grow up (and often providing their kid’s ﬁrst job!) We loved to see them bringing their own children in to dine! We have celebrated family occasions, birthdays (as Giovanni taught the whole restaurant how to sing the birthday song in Italian!) team and school parties and fundraisers, and much more! We have catered your parties, given back to the community, become a part of your lives, and we a part of yours. Giovanni has just celebrated his 80th birthday and it is time to retire. We will miss you all! It has been our privilege to serve you our delicious Italian specialties such as Chicken Giovanni, Hand Stretched Pizzas, Pepperoni Rolls, Homemade Tiramisu, and Grandma’s (Nonna’s) Cream Puffs over the years. With Love and Appreciation, Giovanni and Austa, Teco, James, and all our staff
