Mar i l y n M o n r o e ’ s D rea m H o m e !

Blond bombshell, pin-up girl, close friend of the Kennedy men and highly successful actress, Marilyn Monroe, starred in several of the 1950’s biggest box-office hits including Some Like It Hot and Gentleman Prefer Blondes. Proceeds from her films, which grossed over $200 million, would have afforded her the ability to buy almost any mansion her heart desired. However, she purchased only one house in her own name during her 36-year lifetime.

With her demanding career, three failed marriages and constant public scrutiny, she opted for a charming and very private hacienda-style home at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Hollywood’s Brentwood community.

She purchased it in the early 1960s after her divorces from New York Yankees star Joe DiMaggio and Pulitzer Prize winning writer Arthur Miller.

In her last interview before she died in her home in 1962 from a barbiturate overdose, Marilyn told Life Magazine that she didn’t want them to take pictures of the inside of her house because it was important to her to keep it private. She wanted to use the guest house for friends who may be down on their luck and who needed a peaceful place to recover. With all her wealth, she purchased the house for $75,000 partially furnished and her mortgage payments were only $320 a month. It most recently sold in 2010 for $3.85 million.

Situated on a very private gated half acre, the 2,624-square-foot house is tucked into green lawns and surrounded by mature landscaping.

Built in 1929, it still retains all the beautiful architectural details that made it feel like home to Marilyn.

Details include four bedrooms, three baths, cathedral ceilings with wood beams, a fireplace in the living room with Mexican tile surround, casement windows, arched doorways, Saltillo tile floors, a citrus orchard and her famous kidney-shaped swimming pool.

Outside is a tree shaded brick patio overlooking the pool and the original guest house. A poignant arrangement of tiles at the front door proclaims “Cursum Perficio.” Translated, it means “My Journey is Over.” Was it an omen of what was to come?

Lisa Optican of Mercer Vine holds the listing.

Marilyn Monroe’s beloved home, the only one she ever purchased alone, is now for sale, priced at $6.9 million.

of LADERA RANCH CIVIC COUNCIL Ladera Ranch Civic Council May 15 Toll Road Meeting

The regular meeting of the Ladera Ranch Civic Council was held on Monday May 15, 2017.

Normally the meeting of the Ladera Ranch Civic Council is held at the Santa Margarita Water District headquarters, but as publicity spread that Ladera Ranch residents were apparently excited about the Toll Road officials being placed on the agenda, the meeting was moved to the Ladera Ranch Middle School auditorium which has a capacity of 350 people and was recently filled to capacity during a meeting to discuss Sober Living Accommodations in Ladera Ranch.

On hand were Chairman Jett McCormick, Vice Chairman Gary Kephart, Councilmember Mike Ellzey, Councilmember Amir Arbabi and Councilmember Stephanie Ramsey. Mike Chesney spokesman for the TCA Toll Roads gave the opening presentation.

The presenter gave a well-reasoned explanation of the daunting task facing the toll road agency. The county has approved the plan of the Rancho Mission Viejo company to build no less than 14,000 homes adjacent to Ladera Ranch and extending all the way to the edge of San Clemente. Factoring about ten visitors to each home per day (residents, friends, CIVIC COUNCIL HANDOUTS a huge Realtors, delivery people, service technicians, lawn supply of handouts was available during the care, pool service, carpet cleaners, housekeepers, presentation tutors, babysitters, et.c.) equals at least 140,000 travelers every day on adjacent roadways.

Some cities like San Clemente are not rolling out the welcome mat to their newly arriving neighbors.

The San Clemente City Council says openly that it is “mobilizing a fight against any path slicing through San Clemente”. They claim to have gathered some 2,200 signatures against two routes on the Transportation Corridor Agency’s proposal.

While it may come as a surprise to Ladera Ranch residents, the San Clemente naysayers

SPARSELY ATTENDED EVENT had ample room for more Ladera Ranch residents

CURBING THEIR ENTHUSIAM Only around thirty Ladera Ranch residents appeared at the Toll Road meeting

say that “The newest opposition is from Ladera Ranch, residents uniting to oppose a route which the mayors of San Clemente and San Juan have advocated .It’s called the Beltway which residents say would carve a swath around Ladera Ranch and Rancho Mission Viejo to connect with I-5 and the 73 Toll Road in Mission Viejo .”The story goes on to say that “the Ladera Ranch, and Rancho Mission Viejo group launched its own change.org petition, declaring the road would be grossly expensive, would not provide a viable north-south alternative to I-5,would impact endangered species, and would devastate the residents quality of life.“ Most Ladera Ranch residents attending the May 15 meeting did not appear to be buying the opposition’s argument.

One well-known Ladera Ranch resident was apparently misquoted as saying “Ladera Ranch and Rancho Mission Viejo opposition is quickly approaching 700 people and growing.” This figure is not substantiated by the approximately thirty people who attended the Ladera Ranch Civic Council Toll Road meeting, most of whom were actually in support of some sort of Toll Road project adjacent to Ladera Ranch and Rancho Mission Viejo.

“We can’t exactly tell hundreds of thousands of new visitors and residents to just stay away, can we? “said one resident. “People have a right to come here and use our roads and our trails, and our beaches. About all we can expect is that they will enjoy them as much as we do, and act like good citizens in the meantime.”

According to Mike Chesney spokesman for the Transportation Corridor Agency Toll Roads, “We are still in the process of analyzing all of the options and gathering information. We welcome the input from residents on the paths to provide quality transportation opportunities for everyone.”

20th Anniversary Celebration Raises $375,000 for THINK Together!

The Pacific Ballroom at the University of California, Irvine was the setting for THINK Together’s 20 Anniversary Celebration where $375,000 was raised to benefit the programs that change the odds for children and youth living in poverty. Over 350 community and buisness leaders attend to support the two decades the nonprofit has impacted communities from Silicon Valley to San Diego, and honored the supporters who have made THINK Together’s programs possible.

The elegant evening was chaired by Randy Barth, CEO of THINK Together, as well as Eric Boden, chair of THINK Together board of directors and chairman, and Dr. Tracy Carmichael, chief engagement officer of THINK Together. The Anniversary Celebration is a way to honor the supporters of THINK Together while raising funds for the organization to continue to expand its reach.

Guests were served a three-course meal that started with a watermelon and feta salad, followed by a filet mignon and Chilean sea bass duo for the main dish and ended with a beautiful dark chocolate cake with raspberry coulis. Beautiful, live entertainment was provided by the Santa Ana High School Jazz Combo under the direction of Victor de los Santos and offered a smooth medley of rhythms while guests enjoyed their dinner to enhance what was an already unforgettable night.

Newport Harbor High School senior Reyna Gonzalez Jimenez and Sage Hill School senior Javier Martin were awarded with the “Face of the Future” award. While they stood on stage to receive their honor, they were surprised with the announcement that they were also receiving a $2,500 scholarship each to the college of their choice. The heartwarming moment was greeted with applause from the audience.

Retired Superintendent Dr. Phillip Perez from Little Lake City School District was also honored with the “Champion of Change” award, recognizing the 15 years Dr. Perez has dedicated to changing the odds for kids. Dr. Perez was chosen for his unique partnerships and innovative leadership that led to the district’s lowest-performing schools seeing significant improvement in proficiency scores during his tenure.

The night was capped by announcing the winners of the live auction. Items included a three-night, three-bedroom Villa Golf & Spa Escape at The Resort at Pelican Hill, a tequila tasting and prix fix dinner for 10 in a private cellar at Gabbi’s Mexican Kitchen, a private tour and tasting for six at Joseph Phelps Vineyards, and a ticket exchange, giving the winning bidder the choice of two tickets to a major sporting event in 2018 and a $2,000 American Express gift card to be used toward travel and lodging.

In the early 1990s, THINK Together took shape in an impoverished neighborhood in Westside Costa Mesa. A group of mothers and community members came together to put an end to the gangs, drugs and prostitution that was quickly overtaking the neighborhood and the schools.

Soon after, Shalimar Learning Center opened its doors in a local apartment to 100 neighborhood kids, providing a safe place to congregate after school and receive free tutoring. In California, the likelihood that a student growing up in poverty will attend college is less than one-third. This past fall, 100% of Shalimar seniors beat these odds and enrolled in college, likely changing the trajectory of their lives. THINK Together was formally founded as a nonprofit in 1997 to expand its support model to schools serving low income students. Today, the organization is a trusted partner of 43 California school districts and impacts over 150,000 kids in 422 program sites every year. Its programs and services continue to evolve to support learning in and out of school so kids can succeed in their journey from pre-school to college or career readiness!

Angels sign Right Hand Pitcher Doug Fister to 2017 contract The Angels announced the Club has signed right-handed pitcher Doug Fister to a 2017 contract. He has been optioned to Adv.-A Inland Empire.

In a corresponding move, RHP Andrew Bailey has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list. Today’s announcements were made by General Manager Billy Eppler.

Fister, 33, has pitched across eight Major League seasons with Seattle (2009-11), Detroit (2011-13), Washington (2014-15) and Houston (2016) and has amassed a 77-76 career record with seven complete games, two shutouts and a 3.60 ERA (1266 IP - 506 ER). Fister joins the Angels with a career 2.00 walks per 9.0 innings ratio which is tops in the Majors among active pitchers (min.

1000 IP).

After being drafted by Seattle in the seventh round of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft, Fister made his Major League debut with the Mariners in 2009. He would go on to pitch the next three seasons with Seattle before being traded to Detroit at the 2011 trade deadline. Fister’s best season came as a member of the Washington Nationals in 2014 when he registered a 16-6 record with a team-leading Page 14

D oug F i s t e r 2.41 ERA (164 IP - 44 ER) and a 4.08 strikeout/walk ratio.

The Merced, CA native made 32 starts for the Astros last season, going 12-13 with a 4.64 ERA (180.1 IP - 93 ER). Fister ranked second on Houston’s staff in wins, starts and innings pitched. The 180 innings

The Ladera Ranch News

pitched marked the third most innings pitched of career and most since 208.2 innings in 2013 with Detroit.

Fister has made four different postseason runs, including an appearance in the 2012 World Series with the Detroit Tigers. In nine postseason games (eight starts),

he owns a 4-2 record, including a 2.60 ERA (55.1 IP - 16 ER) and 40 strikeouts. Since the start of the 2011 season, his 2.60 postseason ERA ranks second in the Majors, trailing only Madison Bumgarner’s 2.09 mark.

5 ways to take your summer grilling to a whole new level The bright, sunny days of summer are your favorite time of year and when the season arrives, you spend much of your time outdoors. Your yard becomes your living room and you move your cooking to the grill.

Summer is grilling season and there is nowhere you’d rather be than standing in front of your favorite grill for every game day, holiday and weekend cookout. These events are when some of your best memories are made, and now is the perfect time to make this grilling season your best yet. To do just that, here are five ways you can up your grilling game in 2017. * Switch to lump charcoal. The number one reason people grill with lump charcoal is due to the enhanced wood-fire flavor it imparts. When most think of charcoal, they inherently think of it as briquettes, and miss out on the natural advantages of its alternative - lump charcoal. Lump charcoal accounts for only 7 percent of the market, but the figure is growing steadily as more grill masters recognize the improved flavor. When you grill with lump charcoal, you’ll enjoy a quick, hot burn with less ash production. Lump charcoal is also natural and widely available in an array of varieties, allowing you to find the perfect charcoal to match your menu. * Use a Smarter Starter fluid. Lighter fluid is a mainstay around the grill when you want to get cooking quickly; however, the chemical taste it leaves behind poses a serious drawback. The reason you get that petrochemical taste is because the chemical vapor from the fluid gets into the food. You can gain the benefits of a quick burn without the chemical taste by using Smarter Starter Fluid. Made from recycled restaurant cooking oil, Smarter Starter Fluid doesn’t smell like traditional petroleum-based alternatives and you’ll never have to worry about it corrupting the taste of your food.

Smarter Starter Fluid, being made from recycled cooking oil, makes it safe for use around kids and pets. The result is 87 percent less greenhouse gas emissions, so you can feel as good about your environmental impact as you do your grilling.

And, it’s perfectly suited for use on lump charcoal. * Customize the smoke flavor. Lump charcoal already lends itself a natural smoke flavor when compared to briquettes, but to really customize that flavor in your food, you can complement your lump charcoal with wood chips or chunks. Chips are smaller and more readily available in most stores, but they burn faster. Chunks burn slower and give you a better chance to lock in that unique smoke flavor. And once you pick a wood size, it’s time to pick a flavor. Apple, cherry, oak, mesquite and hickory are just a few of your options, so don’t be afraid to explore several. Whatever you’re planning to smoke, there’s a chip or chunk out there that offers the perfect flavor complement. * Take control of your temperature. In the hands of an experienced grill master, the uneven heat offered by charcoal grills is a benefit, not a drawback. Creating two zones on your grill will give you the strong, searing heat of the fire on one side, and indirect heat on the other side to cook your meat all the way through. To accomplish this, pour charcoal into one half of the grill - this will be your direct heat source - and leave the other half empty as your indirect heating zone. Heartier meats like steak can then be cooked for two minutes on each side in the direct zone and allowed to finish cooking in the indirect zone where you’ll lock in all of the flavor without burning your meat. * Targeting the topmost temperature. To be sure your food is cooked to perfection, a temperature thermometer is a must. Dark meat chicken or turkey should be cooked to 175 degrees, while white meat should be cooked to 165. Beef and lamb should

be cooked to 130 degrees (for a rare result) all the way to 170 degrees or higher for well done. And if your menu calls for brisket, keep the meat cooking until it reaches 185-205 degrees.

You look forward to the summer grilling season all year. Now that it’s here, don’t let a single opportunity pass you by. Apply the tips above and you’ll take your time-honored pastime to a whole new level in 2017. To learn more about Smarter Starter Fluid, visit escogo.com/smarterstarterfluid.

Sa l t La k e B ee s E x t e n d Maj o r Lea g u e Affiliation with Angels Through 2020 The Angels and Salt Lake Bees announced that the two organizations have signed a two-year Player Development Contract extension that will keep the Bees as the Triple-A affiliate of the Angels through the 2020 season. The announcement was made by Angels General Manager Billy Eppler and Bees General Manager Mark Amicone.

“We are very excited to be able to continue our relationship with the Bees franchise as well as the fans in Salt Lake City,” said Eppler. “We

would also like to thank Marc Amicone and his staff for their efforts in this process. Salt Lake has been a first class affiliate for the Angels organization for the last 17 years and we look forward to continuing our longest running minor league partnership in the years to come.”

The Angels have been the parent club of the Bees since 2001. In its 17 years as an Angels affiliate, the Bees have won five division titles (2002, ‘06, ‘07, ‘08, ‘13) and have reached the Pacific Coast League Finals twice

(2002 and 2013).

“To continue this affiliation is extremely special,” Amicone said. “We have enjoyed our part in developing Major League stars for the Angels and look forward to seeing more great players pass through Salt Lake over the next four seasons.”

Fourteen members of the Angels Opening Day active roster have spent time with Salt Lake during their time in the Halos organization, including Mike Trout, Kole Calhoun and Garrett Richards. Former Angels All-Stars to

have played with Salt Lake include Jered Weaver, Erick Aybar, Howie Kendrick, Mark Trumbo, Ervin Santana, John Lackey and Francisco Rodriguez.

The Bees are the highest-level affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, followed by the Mobile BayBears (AA), Inland Empire 66ers (A Advanced), Burlington Bees (A), Orem Owlz (rookie), Arizona League Angels (rookie) and Dominican Summer League Angels (rookie).
