Science-based suggestions for self-confidence A recent study shows your perception of your own image has a profound effect on how you present yourself to the rest of the world.

Those findings could be empowering since even small changes to your selfcare routine can significantly boost your self-confidence.

The study by researchers at the Stanford Graduate School of Business found those who believe in their own attractiveness view themselves as having higher social status. “The finding that your assessment of yourself shapes your view of yourself and others puts power into your hands,” the authors note.

Consider how these science-based suggestions may help you put your best foot forward when dealing with everything life throws your way. * Get moving. Regardless of your fitness goals, the fact is you’re likely to feel better physically, emotionally and mentally after you exercise.

Research also shows it can improve your self-esteem. * Ramp up your smile. Scientists say our brains are zapped with an instant mood boost when we smile, and that boost is reinforced when others smile back. Further, whiter

teeth can have a direct effect on our social and professional interactions, and they’re now easy to achieve through consumer brands like Rembrandt’s 1 Week Whitening Kit that can achieve professional-level results at home within a week. * Let your body language communicate self-respect. Keeping your shoulders pulled back and your body straight and tall communicates confidence to your brain, studies show. Research found the most empowering stance is one in which your arms are held slightly away from your torso, your body is open and your head is up. * Optimize color in your clothing.

The right shade may light up your entire face and have a surprising impact on your mood. “Choosing the color of your office, your clothes or your desktop should not be taken lightly - colors do affect our moods and productivity,” states a recent article on Scienceofpeople.com.

“When given the choice, picking a color that will work with you and not against you can only help.” * Wear scent strategically. Because our brains link certain smells to positive experiences, research

suggests we may be able to ramp up our confidence with scents that remind us of happy times.

That’s why aromatherapy can help alleviate anxiety, depression and sleeplessness, and improve quality of life for those with chronic health issues, confirms the Mayo Clinic.

Bottom line: When you’re taking care of yourself and projecting your best self, you’re far more likely to

project the confidence you need to deal effectively with life.

“Confidence can make or break a lot of things,” advises Lecia Bushak on Medicaldaily.com. “In our extrovert-centric society, confidence can get you a job, a girlfriend, and the courage to say no to people or situations that are toxic to you.

Confidence is knowing yourself and taking care of yourself, too.” - (BPT)

Cool ways to enjoy your outdoor spaces through the dog days of summer

When warm weather arrives, does your family head outdoors to enjoy your patio or deck? Do they then turn around and head right back into the air-conditioned comfort when summer sun and temperatures make outdoor living spaces too hot to handle?

“In many areas of the country, the window of opportunity for enjoying your outdoor space opens in spring and closes when summer’s worst heat hits,” says Mark Dammeyer, director of exterior products for Somfy Systems. “Strong sun, hot temperatures and high humidity can make spending time on your deck or patio too uncomfortable, no matter how much you love the outdoors.

Homeowners are always looking for ways to get the most time in their outdoor living spaces.”

If your deck time encompasses a month or two in spring and another in the fall, here are some ideas for how you can make your outdoor living spaces cooler, more comfortable and enjoyable all summer long: Made in the shade Fun in the sun is one of summer’s best benefits, but too much sun can keep you off your deck or patio. Not only does direct sun make it too hot to sit out, sun exposure can damage your patio furnishings, the deck itself and your skin. Retractable awnings are a great - and great-looking - way to shield your outdoor living space from getting too much summer sun.

Awnings offer sun protection that can enable you to enjoy your deck more on sunny days, and can even help lower cooling bills by shading window and glass deck doors.

Retractable awnings mean you can enjoy the benefits whenever you need them, and hide them when you don’t. Somfy Systems’ motorization solutions have made awnings even handier; a motorized retractable awning effortlessly retracts with a touch of a button. And, an optional sensor, such as the Eolis 3DWirefree (TM) RTS, can detect wind and automatically roll up your awning - even if you’re not home. A Sunis WireFree (TM) RTS Sun Sensor can automatically extend your awning based on the sun’s intensity. Simple innovative operating functions that adapt to your lifestyle.

Wet wins the day When temperatures scorch, many of us head for the pool. Nothing cools and refreshes like a dip in the water. Adding a pool to your outdoor environment may not be practical, so look for smaller-scale options that can lend the cooling power of water to your deck or patio.

A simple outdoor fountain adds a splash of coolness and the soothing sound of moving water to your outdoor living space. Or, you can escalate your cooling efforts by installing a mister. You can find plenty of commercially available options that range from simple misting fans that connect to a garden hose to sophisticated systems that spread a light, refreshing spray over a large area. A simple online search will yield plenty of options, including some available at your neighborhood home improvement store.

Evaporative coolers are another great way to use moisture to cool

the air. While indoor air conditioners draw excess moisture from the air to aid in cooling, evaporative coolers use simple physics to cool air through evaporation of water. These coolers draw the heat needed to evaporate water right out of the air - lowering the ambient temperature around the unit. Evaporative coolers work to cool the air the same way sweat works to cool off your body.

Cooler accessorizing In addition to shade and moisture, choosing cooler accessories like lighter-colored furniture and solar lights (which don’t give off heat like incandescents) can help keep your deck and patio cooler for longer this summer.

Look for furniture made of materials that will absorb less heat. That wrought-iron bistro set might look lovely on your deck, but it will heat up hot as a griddle when exposed to hours of summer sun. Fabrics and breathable materials like wicker will handle heat better than dark woods and metal.

The dog days of summer don’t mean you have to give up your outdoor enjoyment. With the right combination of shade and cooling techniques, you can enjoy your deck or patio throughout the season. (BPT)

A special Flag Day celebration held at local Elks Lodge

By Andy Costello The Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Elks Celebration of Flag Day was held at a Tuesday meeting which was open to the public. Patriotism has characterized the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America since the early days of the organization. Allegiance to the flag of our country is a requirement of every member. In 1907, the Grand Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks designated, by resolution, June 14 as Flag Day. The Grand Lodge of the Order adopted mandatory observance of the occasion by every Lodge in 1911, and that requirement continues. The Elks prompted President Woodrow Wilson to recognize the Order’s observance of Flag Day for its patriotic expression. But it was not until 1949 when President Harry Truman, himself a member of the Elks, made the proclamation that thereafter June 14 would be a day of national observance for the symbol of our country.

Elks sponsored Boy Scout Troop 603 opened the program with the Presenting of the Colors. Exalted Ruler Mike Klinger welcomed members and guests and introduced retired Air Force Veteran Jim Humphrey who recited the “History of the Flag.” Each Armed Forces Flag was displayed

and compositions about each written

by Lodge Lecturing Knight Lane Keran were read by Elk veterans: The United States Army by Sven Akesson - retired Army, Steve Cagnacci - retired Navy, Larry Colgan - retired Air Force, Jerrie Muir - Active Marine Corps, Lucky Walch - retired Navy, and Norm Jones - retired Navy spoke about the POW / MIA Flag.

The Armed Forces Medley played

by Lodge organist Andy Costello followed with veterans rising to great applause as their branch of service was played.

Lodge Leading Knight Jamie Camunas read “The Meaning of the 13 Folds”, while our nation’s Flag was folded by Veteran Lodge members Dennis Lumley, Larry Colgan, and Frank Scarpini. The inspirational program concluded with a spirited rendition of “God Bless America” by all in attendance. Refreshments and fellowship followed. Lodge #2444 is celebrating 49 years of service to Saddleback Valley Communities.

It is one of 8 lodges in the Orange Coast District of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) whose headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois. The BPOE is a charitable organization with a 150 year history of giving. “Elks Care Elks Share” For information regarding Elks programs or membership, call 949 830-3557.

Santa Margarita High School’s Talon Theatre Season of Choose Love Achieves Historic Success Santa Margarita Catholic High the Cappies is due to the love and

School’s Talon Theatre program took home 44 MACY Awards on Tuesday, a record number of awards for the program. The 48th Spirit of the MACY Awards was held at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts on June 5. Over the 2017-18 season, MACY judges saw 57 productions produced by schools in Orange, San Diego and Los Angeles counties. The MACY Awards program encourages, recognizes and rewards achievement and excellence in high school musical theatre.

Santa Margarita’s Talon Theatre spring musical, “West Side Story,” was recognized as one of the top ten musicals with The Spirit of the Macy Award. “West Side Story” also won Best Show Ensemble and Best Choreography. Among the award recipients were recent graduates Alec Melosini of Trabuco Canyon, who won best dramatic actor for his role as Tony, and Drew Schlingman of Mission Viejo, who won best supporting actor for his portrayal of Action. The show garnered a total of 27 MACY awards. Additionally, the cast of Talon Theatre’s fall musical, “Godspell,” brought home 17 MACY awards. Class of 2018 graduates Griffin Webb and Eric Renna were both awarded MACY college scholarships.

“I am so very proud of all the students who participated in our 2017-18 season,” said Talon Theatre Director Amy Luskey-Barth. “This was an extraordinary year.”

Luskey-Barth said the Best Ensemble Award was particularly meaningful, an affirmation of each student involved in the production as well as an outstanding creative team that included Casey Garritano, whose choreography elevated “West Side Story” to a professional level, and the immense talents of Chris Winn, the show’s musical director, and Francisco Calvo, the show’s orchestra conductor.

“Theater is a collaborative art and the expertise of the production staff combined with the talent of the student performers, designers, and technicians was on full display this year,” Luskey-Barth said.

Luskey-Barth also expressed her gratitude to Santa Margarita’s supportive parents, the parent-lead Arts Alliance, the entire performing arts department, The Most Rev. Bishop Kevin Vann of the Diocese of Orange and the SMCHS administration.

“The recognition that both “Godspell” and “West Side Story” received at the MACY awards and

passion embodied by the entire Talon Theatre community,” she said.

Last month, Santa Margarita’s Talon Theatre program took home four Cappies, including Best Musical for “Godspell,” out of eleven nominations at the 15th annual Orange County Cappies Gala at the City National Grove of Anaheim.

But despite the numerous accolades, Luskey-Barth said she’s most proud of the positive impact the students are making in the world through theatre. The 2017-18 season, “Choose Love,” explored the idea that community begins with recognizing our common humanity and the rights of all to live in peace by breaking down barriers and striving for understanding. Both shows offered a glimpse into how true community begins with personal relationships.

“Awards are nice and everyone enjoys a sense of pride in what they represent, but I am most grateful for the fact that Talon Theatre was able to shine light on two very important issues through our productions,” Luskey-Barth said.

“Godspell” increased awareness and support for the homeless community. The school’s theater program raised $3,000 which was donated to the Illumination Foundation to assist a family in need with first and last month’s rent. The cast and crew also reached their goal to fill 650 backpacks with hygiene items for the homeless community. “West Side Story” helped raise $1,500 for the Puerto Rican hurricane relief fund through Catholic Charities. Students tackled the premier musical about overcoming fear and prejudice and how two people, Tony and Maria, “Choose Love” over hate despite enormous cultural differences.

2018 Ladera Ranch Volunteer of the Year Awards C e l e b r a t i n g Vo l u n t e e r i s m , Community and Giving Back Since Ladera Ranch was founded over 18 years ago, the spirit of volunteerism has been an integral part of the Ladera lifestyle and fabric of the community. It’s exciting to see families create a legacy of service to others and serve their community.

When families volunteer together, it brings them together in positive ways that are unique to each family.

On May 19th, Ladera Ranch Community Services (LARCS) held its annual Volunteer Appreciation and Awards Event, a special time to celebrate those individuals and families who have generously given of their most precious resource – their time. These are great people doing great things in their community and they help make Ladera Ranch a unique and special place to call home.

The LARCS Spirit of Community Service Award was presented to Julia Ransom who has consistently demonstrated an ongoing commitment to the community through service of time and talent. In honor of her late brother, Julia and her family created the James Henry Ransom Foundation and 5K Run. The Foundation is making a positive difference in the local community by encouraging discussions about mental health and through donations to local adolescent mental/behavioral health programs.

The Adult Volunteer Group of the Year was presented to the Ladera Ranch Civic Council for its work with the County of Orange to solve traffic concerns on Benjamin Drive and Oso Grande, for successfully advocating for the donation of two OC Sheriff’s Department bike patrols, for facilitating the completion of the track and pool at San Juan Hills High School, and more.

Harpreet, Naveen, Anmol and

Amrita of the Kaur and Singh family accepted the Family Volunteers of the Year award for their generous volunteerism at events, on committees, Teen Leadership Council and much more. Anmol is credited for her efforts in creating the Teen Zone for the 4th of July Celebration event and she will be running the Blood Drive for the Teen Leadership Council at the 2018 National Night Out event.

Laguna Playhouse Raises $1.7 Million at Newport gala

Photos by Patrick and Peggy O’Donnell The Laguna Playhouse raised $1.7 Million at their annual gala held at Island Hotel in Newport Beach. Attended by 400 playhouse patrons, the sold-out event featured a VIP Sponsors Reception, an elegant dinner, live and silent auction, entertainment and a special performance by “Phantom of the Opera” star Davis Gaines. Honored at the event were the Moulton Family and South Coast Plaza.

“A big thank you to Gala Honorees Jared Mathis (great-grandson of Nellie Gail Moulton) and the Moulton Family for announcing their $1 million gift toward renovations which will restore the beauty and vitality of the Moulton Theatre,” said Ellen Richard, Laguna Playhouse Executive Director.

The Island Hotel was transformed into a glamorous backdrop to this memorable and inspiring evening which began with a VIP Sponsors Reception and private performance by “Phantom of the Opera Star” Davis Gaines. Members of the Playhouse Youth Theatre Conservatory joined Gaines in performing “Day by Day”.

Chair of the Board of Trustees Paul Singarella kicked off the honoree portion of the night with a historical introduction about the Moultons.

He welcomed Mathis to the stage, while a historical video played paid tribute to a pioneer of the arts and philanthropist, Nellie Gail Moulton, the major benefactor to the building of Laguna Playhouse’s Moulton Theatre.

Mathis currently serves on the Board of Trustees. He serves as CEO of the Moulton Company along with his cousin, Scott Barnes, CFO and a supporter of Laguna Playhouse and was present to accept the honor. “We are truly honored and humbled to be recognized by The Laguna Playhouse,” said Mathis. “Our family and The Moulton Company is dedicated to honoring and building on Nellie Gail’s vision and commitment through faithful service and support.”

South Coast Plaza also received recognition and was honored for its role since its creation 50 years ago in supporting arts, theatre and culture throughout Orange County. It was 1966, when Nellie Gail Moulton was approached to help fund the building of the now 420 seat Moulton Theatre named after her husband Lewis F. Moulton. Donating a large principal amount of the $400,000 needed to build the theatre, Nellie Gail not only served as the major benefactor of the theatre, she co-founded the Laguna College of Art and Design served as President of the Laguna Art Museum. Nellie Gail was a major catalyst for the creation of an arts community in Laguna Beach. = Co-chaired by Laguna Playhouse Season Producer Lisa Hale, Annee Della Donna and Board of Trustee Jamie Walters El Erian, were intricately involved in every aspect of the gala. “Each of us began our love for Laguna Playhouse through the Youth Theatre conservatory and its programs,” noted the co-chairs. Major Sponsors for the event were South Coast Plaza, Lisa Hale, Joe Hanauer, Jamie El-Erian, Nolet’s Spirits, Greg and Barbara MacGillivray, Heather and Paul Singarella.

The historic Laguna Playhouse is one of the oldest continuously-operating not-for-profit theatres on the West Coast . A member of the League of Resident Theatres, Laguna Playhouse is also home to the annual Laguna Dance Festival, Laguna Beach Music Festival and Laguna Beach Concert Band.

Laguna Playhouse educational programming. Is one of the few companies in the region that offer a curriculum-based professional theatre-touring program, TheatreReach, which aligns with the California State Standards.

Serving more than 80,000 patrons each season, Laguna Playhouse has been featured many talented performers on stage, including Leslie Caron, Val Kilmer, Ed Asner, Hershey Felder, Donna McKechnie, Rita Rudner, violinist Joshua Bell, Lee Rocker, ballerina Misty Copeland, Harrison Ford, and Bette Davis.

Big Price On Shaq’s Big Florida House!

Pro basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal has put his 28-room lakefront mansion near Orlando, Florida on the market at $28 million. A longtime Orlando-area resident, shortly after he was the #1 overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft by the Orlando Magic, Shaq played for the Magic from 1992 to 1996 before signing with the Los Angeles Lakers for $121 million. At the end of the contract he returned to Florida in 2004 to play for the Miami Heat, then played for several other teams before retiring in 2011. O’Neal now spends most of his time in Atlanta where he works as an analyst for TNT on Inside the NBA. Shaq’s massive Lake Butler estate within the private golf community of Isleworth, about 30 minutes southwest of Orlando, is sized to feel spacious to a man of 7’1” weighing in at 325 pounds. Completely customized to fit his varied lifestyle, it is not surprising that one outstanding feature is an indoor 6,000-square-foot basketball court with bleachers. Unusual extras include two garages that together will fit 17 cars, one a show-car garage with fitness center and the other having a dance studio and an enclosed recording studio, recalling

Page 16

his rap music hits of the 1990s.

Measuring in at 31,000 square feet and spread across the entire three acres, the mansion includes 12 bedrooms, 15 baths, chef’s kitchen with Viking, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, massive living room, formal dining, media room with bar and a “gentleman’s room” with game tables, and wet bar. The master wing has a four-room closet, his-and-her baths and in the bedroom, a custom 15-foot round bed. The guest wing has its own great room with bar and five ensuite bedrooms. Some unusual rooms include a temperaturecontrolled, cedar-planked humidor and wine storage and an aquariumstyle room with saltwater triangular fish tank. Most impressive is the wall mural of a true-to-size tractor trailer barreling toward the interior of the room on an expressway. With the front cab bumped out of the wall, the realism is electrifying.

The grandeur doesn’t stop with the interior. Shaq nicknamed his party-perfect outdoor area “Shaqapulco” quite aptly. The 95-foot long swimming pool seems to go on forever and has a large waterfall spilling over boulders. It includes a

The Ladera Ranch News

swim-up bar and a spa large enough for a crowd. The pool deck also has an extensive outdoor kitchen, all of which looks out over Lake Butler, the long private pier with boathouse and the life-size statue of Shaq’s favorite character, Superman, standing at the end overlooking the lake.

Shaquille O’Neal - a big man with a big personality and stellar basketball career, is selling his equally large

estate with a personality to match his own. His custom-designed home overlooking Lake Butler outside of Orlando, Florida where he has lived since 1993 is now on the market, priced at $28 million. The listing agent is Danial Natoli of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, Orlando, Florida.
