Nationally Recognized STEM Summer Program Coming to Capo USD at Chaparral Elementary School ladera Ranch Camp Invention, the nation’s premier summer enrichment day camp program, supported by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and a product of the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF), is coming to Capo USD @ Chaparral Elementary School the week of June 27, 2016. For students entering grades one through six, Camp Invention is a weeklong adventure that will turn the summer from ordinary to extraordinary through hands-on problem solving, using science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Camp Invention provides an opportunity for inventive young minds to exercise their creativity and use their imagination in ways they don’t normally get to in the classroom. Program participants do not realize they are learning and developing new skills as they build prototypes, take things apart, explore different types of technology and so much more. Alice Opperman, Director of Curriculum for Emerson Public Schools
in Emerson, NJ, shared the following thoughts on Camp Invention. “The hands-on curriculum helps to further insert curiosity into a child’s everyday lifestyle. As the need for skilled STEM professionals increases, we believe we are setting our students up for success by offering programs like Camp Invention.” This year’s Camp Invention curriculum is called Epic™, inspired by some of our nation’s most brilliant minds including experienced educators, Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and developed in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Epic™ features hands-on modules like CrickoBot™, where campers construct and personalize a DIY solar-powered cricket and a unique habitat; Epic Park™, where campers work in teams to design an eco-adventure park; I Can Invent: Maker Studio™, where campers brainstorm product ideas and build original prototypes using real tools and components found in everyday devices; and The Lab: Where Pigs
Fly™, where children can discover the science of slime, demolition, electronic sound, giant squid and coding. Learn more about this year’s curriculum here. Local programs are facilitated and taught by educators who reside and teach in the community. Camp Invention serves more than 94,000 students every year through nearly 1,400 camps across the nation. For additional information or to find the nearest location for registration, visit www.campinvention.org. A b o u t C a m p I n v e n t i o n Camp Invention is the only nationally recognized summer program focused on creativity, innovation, real-world
problem solving and the spirit of invention. Through hands-on programming, Camp Invention encourages children in grades 1-6 to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics curriculum inspired by some the world’s great inventors. Camp Invention, the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the Collegiate Inventors Competition serve as the authority on inspiring invention and compose Invent Now. This nationwide organization is committed to the curious minds and innovative spirits of the past, present and future. Since 1990, our education programs have served over 1 MILLION children and 125,000 teachers and Leadership Interns.
ELKS HOLD SPECIAL CARNIVAL FOR KIDS WITH CANCER By Mike Long, Public Relations The Mission Viejo-Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge #2444 was converted into an amusement park on Saturday, June 11 by 56 Elks and non-Elk volunteers. Gloomy skies and a light drizzle did not dampen the spirit and enthusiasm as 157 attendees laughed, played and celebrated life together at an incredible Carnival for our Cancer Kids. Attendees were treated with lunch, carnival treats, crafts, face painting, reptiles, a giant slide and many carnival games and prizes. Parents of the special children
also had an opportunity to relax and enjoy the festivities. All thanked the Elks and some said it was the first time in many months they could see smiles on the faces of their children who are going through so much right now. The annual event is sponsored by a yearly fund raising dinner dance and with help from the Elks Lodge Charity Committee. Stephanie Bongartz, Event and House Committee Chairperson, expressed her sincere thanks to the many volunteers that shared their time and made this a fun event for all!

Guilt-free desserts to please the whole family Dinner is over and your family is craving something sweet to end the meal. There are plenty of delicious options to satisfy even the biggest sweet tooth while keeping your family’s balanced diet in check. Best of all, these desserts can be made right in your own kitchen. By preparing your own creations, you can please even the pickiest of eaters and give your kids some extra nutrients with hidden servings of fruits or vegetables. The whole family will applaud your efforts. Whole fruit ice cream If you love frozen treats, try a healthier, homemade ice cream using whole fruit. Create a quick raspberry ice cream by combining 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup sugar or your favorite sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1 pound frozen raspberries in a Vitamix 5200. Turn on the blender and slowly increase the speed from one to 10, using the tamper to push the mixture down. In less than a minute, you’ll have a creamy, soft-serve style ice cream. You can make a variety of flavors by substituting blueberries, peaches, pineapple, strawberries or other frozen fruit for the raspberries. Non-dairy “ice cream” Whip up a batch of green apple ice cream for a non-dairy, vegan alternative to traditional ice cream. Your kids will love the green hue of this after-dinner delight. Plus, they’ll get an extra helping of spinach, which is loaded with vitamins - especially A, C and K - on top of antioxidants and minerals like potassium and iron. Simply add 6 ounces of thawed apple juice concentrate, a peeled banana, 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach and 4 cups ice into your Vitamix. Blend on high for about 40 seconds and you’ll have a healthy dessert for your family to
enjoy. The kids will never know this non-dairy delight is also nutritious. Satisfying dessert (or snack) For an easy option that will keep you full well into the evening hours, create a fruit and yogurt parfait. Fill a tall glass with alternating layers of Greek yogurt, fresh fruit and granola. Popular for its thick, creamy texture and rich taste, Greek yogurt is typically lower in sugar and higher in calcium and protein than regular yogurt. Mix in a touch of honey for extra sweetness. Your family will love the varied flavors and textures. Plus, you can choose any combination you like - from the classic vanilla yogurt with fresh berries, to strawberry yogurt with peaches. A parfait is also a smart breakfast option, providing the calories and energy needed to keep your kids moving throughout the morning. Avocado-based mousse Everyone knows that avocado makes a great guacamole, but did you know it can also be used in desserts such as mousse, pudding, sorbet and ice cream? It may sound strange, but the fruit’s rich, creamy texture lends
itself well to many sweet treats. For the chocolate lover in your family, try a smooth chocolate avocado mousse. This raw food recipe uses avocadoes, almond milk, dates and coconut butter for the base, along with cocoa or carob powder for the chocolate flavor. It’s best to prepare the mousse ahead of time or while dinner cooks, because it needs to chill for at least an hour before serving. Top with fresh berries or a bit of shaved chocolate for those with an extra-strong sweet tooth. Making dessert at home puts you in control of the ingredients. It’s also a great way to increase the level of vitamins, minerals and healthy nutrients in your family’s diet. Fruit is naturally sweet, so it’s a great place to start. To enhance flavor even more, experiment with other natural sweeteners, such as agave nectar, honey or stevia in place of granulated sugar. Whether dessert is a nightly ritual in your household or an occasional treat, use these ideas to satisfy your family’s cravings.
Love is an ice cream sundae, with all the marvelous coverings. ~Jimmy Dean

How to Make Homemade Ice Cream for Dogs As the weather heats up, humans aren’t the only ones who start craving sweet, cold treats like ice cream and ice pops. My dog, Maggie, has long been a fan of homemade ice cream for dogs, which is made to be healthier and easier to digest than actual ice cream made for human beings. When it’s hot outside, I make her a set of these sweet treats and then give them in small amounts after a long romp around outside. I’ve perfected the recipe for my dog’s own ice cream, which I carefully designed to meet her nutritional needs without the sugar and lactose found in frozen desserts for humans. The ingredients you’ll need for homemade ice cream for dogs include one half-cup of peanut butter and one cup of unsweetened yogurt as the base. Unsweetened yogurt has very little sugar, and thanks to the probiotics (or “friendly bacteria”), it is easier to digest than milk. I also add a quarter-cup of canned pumpkin, which helps to facilitate healthy digestion in dogs and cats, and three tablespoons of white chocolate chips, which satisfies a dog’s sweet tooth but doesn’t contain the potentially dangerous chocolate compound theobromine, found in dark and milk chocolate. I use ice pop molds for my dog’s ice cream recipes, but you can also use empty cups, hollow marrow bones, and ice cube trays. First, mix all the ingredients into one large mixing bowl. It may take a while for the mixture to homogenize, since the heavier peanut butter tends to sink to the top and the cream in the unsweetened yogurt tends to rise. You can take the shortcut by using an electric blender. If you want your mixture thicker, add in a little cornstarch a little at a time.
If you want it thinner, gradually blend in a small amount of warm water. Once you’ve got everything well-blended, carefully pour the mixture into the molds, marrow bone, or ice cube tray. Freeze it for at least five hours to get it thick and hard. You can serve these treats as everyday snacks, in the same way that you might normally use dog biscuits, or you can reserve the “ice cream” for when your dog has been running a lot in hot or warm weather. You might even consider bringing some to the dog park to share!
You can modify the recipe for ice cream for dogs depending on your dog’s taste preferences. Some good add-ins for doggie ice cream include shredded carrot, apple bits, or crushed treats. There’s really no limit, but bear in mind that some common human foods are dangerous to dogs, including onions, grapes, raisins, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, avocado, and macadamia nuts. If you need any help figuring out which homemade treats to include in your pup’s diet, or balancing nutrition between treats and meals, touch base with his veterinarian for expert advice.

LYON AIR MUSEUM HOSTS “The Elegance of Mercedes-Benz” JULY 1 – AUGUST 1, 2016 Lyon Air Museum, a world class showcase of historic aircraft and vintage automobiles, to host “The Elegance of Mercedes-Benz” exhibit. Eight exemplary Mercedes-Benz automobiles will be presented alongside vintage aircraft, July 1 – August 1, 2016 at the Museum, located on the west side of John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. Few global brands evoke the style, sophistication and engineering prowess that is Mercedes-Benz. Recognizing this, Lyon Air Museum is excited to share with its visitors “The Elegance of MercedesBenz” exhibition this summer. Four decades of Mercedes-Benz are represented, beginning with an extraordinary race-inspired 1937 supercharged 540K Special Roadster, considered by many as the pinnacle of 1930s luxury automobile design. Of the twenty-six 540K Special Roadsters built between 1936 and 1939, this impeccably restored, ultra rare example is one of only four built with left-hand drive. Among the elegant Mercedes-Benz featured during the exhibit is a massive seven-passenger six-wheeled open touring car that carried one of the most reviled dictators of all time, Adolf Hitler. Delivered to the Nazi leader in August of 1939, just days before the German invasion of Poland, and the beginning of World War II, this vehicle was used by Hitler in Poland, France and Germany during his iniquitous attempted conquest of Europe. It was later seized by French forces and is now preserved for the educational benefit of future generations. It’s displayed with much of its original leather interior, bullet-proof glass, and built-in pistol holders.
Mercedes,” a 1941 770K recently awarded “first in class” at the prestigious 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. 770Ks were favorites among heads of states and other dignitaries on ceremonial occasions, with this world-renowned example formally belonging to World War II Field Marshal Mannerheim of Finland.
Lyon Air Museum represents the realization of a dream of founder General William Lyon of William Lyon Homes, Inc., Newport Beach, Calif. As a former combat pilot, and ultimately Chief of the Also immersed in World War II history and on U.S. Air Force Reserve from 1975 to 1979, his display is the legendary “Mannerheim Grosser passion for aviation history and youth education
is the driving force behind Lyon Air Museum. In establishing the museum, General Lyon has created a world-class facility, offering educational tours and displays to inspire young people. The Museum has on exhibit some of the world’s rarest operational historic aircraft and vehicles. Lyon Air Museum is located at 19300 Ike Jones Road, Santa Ana, CA 92707. 714/210-4585. info@ lyonairmuseum.org.www.lyonairmuseum.org.

Summer Fun for Kids Activities that foster a love of reading
While it may seem easier to let kids beat the heat by spending lazy days in front of the television or tablet, parents should take advantage of the many learning opportunities the summer offers. Why is learning so critical this time of year? During the summer months, many children will lose some of the skills they obtained during the school year. Students who lose reading ability over the summer rarely catch up. In fact, research from the Annie E. Casey Foundation shows that 75 percent of students who are poor readers in third grade, a critical grade for literacy skill building, remain poor readers in high school. Improved learning, one child at a time To help children keep and develop this essential skill, Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) has joined forces with Macy’s to help keep kids laughing and learning with enriching summer activities and children’s book favorites. The key to helping children maintain and even improve their literacy skills over the summer is providing access to quality books that they can choose based on personal interests. When children have books readily available to them, they are motivated and empowered
to read, helping improve their overall success in school and life. Macy’s is helping to ensure children have access to high-quality books through its Be Book Smart campaign. The store invites customers nationwide to give $3 at their local store to help provide a book for a child in need. As a thank you, customers get $10 off a purchase of $30 or more, plus 15% or 20% off storewide. 100% of the proceeds go directly to RIF to provide books and learning resources to children who need them most. Customers not only give children the opportunity to build their literacy skills, but also the opportunity to experience the magic and power of books. Inspire your reader As a parent, you can help increase your child’s reading ability. Whether it’s playing games, singing songs or taking a trip to the local library – use this time to create new experiences together. Adopt some of these everyday activities to help your children thrive during the summer months: • Boost your child’s vocabulary by talking about everything under the sun. Visit the library and check out books for the entire week. Pick one about
•
• •
• •
birds or insects and go on an adventure walk to see if any live in your neighborhood. Reading is contagious, so let your kids see you reading books, magazines and even cereal boxes. Have books available in your child’s reach. Play the alphabet game by finding letters starting from A-Z while in the car or on a walk. Play easy word or rhyming games with your child. Use sidewalk chalk to make a mural with your family.
Don’t forget to title your masterpiece. • Have a “book-nic.” Grab a blanket, snacks and books to celebrate a beautiful summer day. Help your kids retain the essential skills they learned in the classroom and plan for a season full of new adventures in reading. You can also provide books and reading adventures for kids who need them most by visiting your local Macy’s store this summer and giving $3. Visit www. macys.com/rif for more details.

Ladera Ranch Elementary School Students Win Yearbook art contest Story and Photos by Amy R Spurgeon-Hoffman, Reporter Ladera Ranch News “Enter ready to learn...leave ready to achieve!” Ladera Ranch residents and LRES students Tess Vo, 10 years old, and Reed Killion, 11, drew their little hearts out for the school’s Yearbook 2015-2016 art contest (the last one was three years ago), and saw their efforts pay off mightily with a published front cover first place win for Vo and back cover second place win for Killion. The winning youngsters and new friends were both gleefully surprised to see their visions of the school mascot, a bearded lion, be selected as the winning entries. A QUIET BELIEF IN ONESELF CAN HAVE PUBLISHED AND APPLAUDED LASTING IMPACT FIRST PLACE WINNER: FOURTH GRADER TESS VO Vo, a polite and polished elementary student, was happily surprised to see her colorful lion graced the front cover of the Yearbook. At first, Vo had not planned to enter the contest. But at the gentle encouragement of her mother, Tu Vo, the young girl decided to give it a try. “She went to her table, closed the door and drew her entry in about an hour,” her proud mother Tu said. “She was very happy when she found out she had won. My daughter is kind of shy. But I knew how happy she was because she smiled for the rest of that afternoon.” Vo has found her niche in her own quiet way with her artwork, an expression of self meeting a given topic. SECOND PLACE WINNER: FIFTH GRADER REED KILLION The outgoing Killion, with his infectious smile and kind-hearted manners, heads into the sixth grade knowing he tried his best – and won!
An art enthusiast since preschool, Killion entered the contest with hopes of winning, but never imagined what winning would actually be like! “I was shocked and SO happy and excited!!!,” Killion beamed. “The school didn’t announce the winners, so it was a big surprise to see the Yearbook!” “This makes me feel like I want to do a lot more art!,” Killion said. “It was one of the greatest achievements I have ever accomplished!” ART LINKING TWO STUDENTS ON A COURSE OF PRIDE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT Vo and Killion did not know each other prior to sharing the Yearbook covers. Each can take away personal pride in individual efforts coupled with a shared camaraderie of knowing that as a team, their work holds the special memories of their fellow peers from a year’s worth of hard work: pursuing academics, extracurricular activities and creating new memories with family and friends – and a pretty cute black and white French bulldog named “Poet” Killion shares with his loving (and proud!) 8-year old younger sister Brielle and amazing Mom, Debbie Avoux. The young artists enjoyed meeting one another and taking a photo for the newspaper while accompanied by the charming Frenchie. LADERA RANCH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL VISION AND MISSION It is the mission of Ladera Ranch Elementary School to meet the individual needs of each student and to provide students with opportunities that promote growth so that they can reach their greatest potential - academically and socially - by embodying the principles of Respect, Responsibility, and Readiness, according to the school’s website.

Mercy House’s “Living with Heart” Gala Raises $320,000
Paula and Carl Karcher
Photos by: Johnny Buzzerio Mercy House Living Centers attracted more than 280 guests to the Fairmont, Newport Beach Hotel on for its “Living with Heart” gala which raised approximately $320,000, including more than $74,000 ($10,000 higher than goal) by the “Lift Your Heart” pledges. The evening began in the Fairmont’s Bambu Garden for cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction, accomplished with mobile bidding wherein guests could bid on silent auction items throughout the reception and during dinner with their own cell phone and smartphones. Following the reception, guests went to the ballroom for dinner and the program. Jim Babcock served as master-of-ceremonies. “It’s amazing to me that just a year ago today we set an ambitious goal of ending or preventing the homelessness of 900 individuals, increasing our previous year’s goal by 80 percent”, said Mercy House Executive Director Larry Haynes. “Thanks to your support, I am proud to announce that as of tonight we have exceeded that goal once again, ending or preventing the Steve and Robin Mensinger homelessness of 1,055 and counting.” Mercy House long-time supporter, Mindi Abair, provided the entertainment for the evening. Abair is a two-time Grammy Award nominated, saxophonist, vocalist, author, and National Trustee for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the organization that puts on The Grammys. Mindi dedicated a song, “I’ll Be Your Home” from her latest CD “Wild Heart.” Among the top Live Auction items was an opportunity to become a San Diego Chargers Photographer for a Day, which sold for $3,500. Other items up for grabs were a 6-day South Africa Photo Safari, which sold for $4,800; an Exotic Supercar Driving Experience, went for $3,4000; and a week stay in Steam Boat Springs, Colorado, one lucky couple bought it for $4,750. After dinner, guests returned to the Bambu Garden to enjoy “The Éclair Affair.” Fairmont Hotel’s Executive Chef, Brian Doherty, created unique and special interactive dessert bars that included a Frozen Banana Éclair with toasted walnuts, Mirror Chocolate Glaze, Dulce de Leche, Vanilla Whip, a White Chocolate Coconut Bar, a Double Dark Chocolate with Coco Pop Rock Éclair,a Fruits of the OC with Vanilla Custard, Citrus Glaze Pistachio, Diann and Tim LeVecke Rasberry Lemon Éclair, a Red Velvet with Silky Cream Cheese Buttercream Éclair, and a White Chocolate Mocha Éclair. Live entertainment was provided by accomplished and versatile producer, composer and musician Terry Wollman and acclaimed songstress, Josie Aiello. Mercy House is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides housing and comprehensive supportive services for some of the most vulnerable homeless populations including families, adult men and women, mothers and their children, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and veterans. Mercy House was founded in 1988 by Father Jerome T. Karcher and over the past 26 years Father Karcher, together with the leadership of Larry Haynes, Mercy House’s first employee and only executive director, has not ceased to see the needs in the community. What was once an agency helping 10 men with one transitional shelter, has grown to serve nearly 5,700 individuals in need last year-placing over 800 individuals into permanent housing.

ELKS - FOREVER PATRIOTIC on flag day On Tuesday June 14th the Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge held its annual Flag Day Ceremony. Patriotism has been a hallmark of the Elks. In 1907 the Elks initiated the first mandate to observe June 14th as Flag Day, and in 1948, President Truman (a fellow Elk) signed it into law making it a National Holiday. Following the Presentation of Colors by Boy Scout Troop #603, Lodge President Dave McLeod welcomed members and their guests and led the members and guests in the Pledge of Allegiance. Lodge Chaplain Greg Morgan gave the opening prayer, and President Dave McLeod introduced event chairman Jim Humphrey Past Lodge President who acted as Master of Ceremonies for the program. Humphrey and Past District Deputy (PDD) Norm Jones then read the interesting History of the American Flag. The keynote address was given by PDD Jim Vecchio who related the story of a 90 year old retired Army colonel who single-handedly took on three Nazi tanks in World War II. Barfoot moved to the Sussex Square neighborhood near Richmond to be closer to his daughter. He erected a flagpole in his front yard and refused

The impressive “Folding of the Flag” ceremony was performed by Elks Larry Colgan, Dennis Lumley, and Kevin Hughs, and David Tucker, and narrated by Lodge Leading Knight Mike Long.

Gourmet ice cream desserts you can make at home FAMILY FEATURES
O n

ld-fashioned French Pot ice cream is incredibly dense, creamy and delicious on its own, but you can put a gourmet twist on a family favorite with these fun and easy recipes from Graeter’s Ice Cream. Make your own ice cream sandwiches with this recipe for irresistible Chocolate Chip Wheelies rolled in chocolate sprinkles — they’ll have your family begging for more. Create a special sundae with Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, which is made with premium, hand-selected Oregon black raspberries and Graeter’s signature dark chocolate chips. Serve something special with Individual Baked Alaskas. They are impressive to serve and easy to make. Change up the typical trifle by taking a unique twist: Cupcake Fruit Trifles with Vanilla Mascarpone Custard.
Chocolate Chip Wheelies
Yield: Approximately 36 cookies or 18 wheelies 1/2 cup all-purpose shortening 1/2 cup lightly salted butter 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 large eggs 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup bread flour (substitute all-purpose if necessary) 1 1/3 cup cake flour 1 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips 4 pints of your favorite Graeter’s Ice Cream flavor Chocolate sprinkles Preheat oven to 390°F. Cream shortening, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt and baking soda until smooth, about one minute. Add eggs and vanilla to mixture and cream until all ingredients are incorporated. Add flour gradually and beat until well mixed. Stir in chips. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes. Once cookies are cooled, place in freezer until frozen. After freezing, sandwich your favorite flavor ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies. Immediately roll the edge of the sandwich in chocolate sprinkles. Recipe courtesy of Graeter’s
141 Years of Creaminess In 1870, Louis C. Graeter began making hand-made ice cream in the Queen City, Cincinnati. A tremendous success, the business grew steadily for many years, passing to each successive generation of the family. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, Graeter’s Ice Cream is a beloved tradition, faithfully following the century-old recipes, all-natural and highquality ingredients, and methods of production. The magic behind Graeter’s is the French Pot process. By creating just two gallons at a time and hand-packing each pint, the ice cream is dense and creamy unlike any other. Graeter’s is also famous for the massive chunks of bittersweet chocolate found in its signature chip flavors. Gourmet liquid chocolate is poured into the French Pot just as the ice cream is finishing. The result is velvety smooth chunks of chocolate in every bite. To find Graeter’s at a grocery store near you, or to order online, visit www.graeters.com.

Yield: 8 servings 2 pints Graeter’s Ice Cream of choice, such as Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip 8 mini dessert shells, frozen 1/2 cup egg whites (about 4 to 5 eggs) 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Pinch of salt Place ice cream in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Line a heavy cookie sheet with parchment paper or heavy duty foil, and lightly spray with cooking spray. Line dessert shells on cookie sheet, about two inches apart. Firmly press a scoop of ice cream into each frozen shell. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight. For meringue: Whisk together egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, vanilla extract and salt in heatproof bowl. Set bowl in pan of gently simmering water to a warm water bath. Slowly whisk until sugar is dissolved and egg whites are about 110°F. Remove bowl from water bath, and whisk mixture on high speed until stiff, about four to six minutes. Working quickly, use a spoon to spread meringue completely over each ice cream shell, covering it completely. Bake immediately, or freeze. Preheat oven to 500°F, positioning rack in center of oven. Bake until meringue is lightly browned and set, about three minutes. If baking the meringue from a frozen state, it may take one or two minutes longer. Using a wide spatula, immediately transfer onto plates and serve. Recipe courtesy of Graeter’s
Cupcake Fruit Trifles with Vanilla Mascarpone Custard
Yield: 20 trifles 16 ounces mascarpone cheese 1 pint Graeter’s Vanilla Ice Cream, thawed, refrigerated 1 quart heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks 4 to 6 cups of fruit: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries or oranges Sprinkle of sugar 20 yellow cupcakes, using recipe of choice, remove liners and cut into equal thirds, horizontally 20 wine or beverage glasses, 6 to 9 ounces Place the mascarpone cheese and ice cream in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Do not over mix. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture, cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble trifles. When ready to assemble trifles, sprinkle fruit with a small amount of sugar, to create a syrupy consistency. To assemble trifle: Place a small amount of custard in bottom of glass. Add some fruit, followed by the bottom third of the cupcake. Continue to layer custard, fruit and cupcake slices, using three cupcake slices per glass. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with fruit just before serving. Note: it is best to make the trifle a few hours before serving, or the day before. Serving idea: Make your presentation extra special with a chocolate-painted glass. 8 ounces Graeter’s bittersweet chocolate sauce, room temperature 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted Combine ingredients until smooth. Place in paper pastry bag or plastic resealable bag. Cut tip of bag and drizzle chocolate on inside of cup. Refrigerate cups to harden chocolate. Fill with trifle as directed.

La s t m i n u t e DIY t i p s f o r b a c k y a r d h o s t i n g
Summer means outdoor entertaining. Whether you’re hosting a wedding reception, a family reunion or a birthday party, you’ll want to make the backyard get together memorable. Here are some quick DIY ideas to help you get ready for a fun, stressfree gathering. Lawn prepA healthy green lawn is an inviting setting for outdoor activities. If your lawn isn’t quite up to snuff, a little last minute maintenance can help. Following are some tips from Grass Seed USA, a coalition of American grass seed farmers and academics: * Fix bare or thin spots. You may not need as much time as you think to overseed thin or bare patches - some seed germinates in just a few days. Ask the turf specialists at your garden store or university extension office for help in selecting the right seed. Seed during the early morning or evening hours, then water lightly but regularly, keeping the reseeded areas damp until the new grass grows in. * Don’t overwater. On average, a lawn needs about an inch of water per week, from rainfall or irrigation. Unless it’s very hot or you have good soil drainage, don’t water for two or three days before your party. A soggy lawn might ruin your guests’ shoes, and furniture legs could sink into the ground. * Leave a little length. Don’t mow the grass too short before the event - a little extra length will provide more cushioning for the soil and your guests’ feet. As a general rule,
wait until your grass is 3 inches tall before mowing, then cut it to 2 inches in height. Trimming no more than one-third of the blade length reduces stress on the grass and leaves enough leaf to protect the roots from the sun. Creating the ambianceBeyond the table arrangements - linens, tableware, flowers - you’ll want to think about creating a comfortable ambiance for your guests. Here are a few ideas to consider: * Throw some shade. Set up umbrellas or a shade sail if your gathering is in the heat of the day and you don’t have much natural shade. * Illuminate the area. If your get together is in the evening, create a welcoming atmosphere by setting out candles or lanterns and winding twinkle lights around trees in your backyard. If you have the space, build a simple fire pit where you can gather after dinner to make s’mores and tell stories. Transform planters and pots into nightlights using glow-in-the-dark paint. * Make it cozy. In addition to traditional seating, set out blankets, pillows and rugs on the lawn. Set up a low table and place rugs on the grass next to it to create a magical Moroccan evening. * Keep bugs at bay. Annoying flies or hungry mosquitoes can take a lot of the fun out of an outdoor party. Light citronella candles to deter mosquitoes, or make natural DIY bug spray for your guests using
Missing
essential oils such as peppermint or eucalyptus. Choosing activitiesYour gettogether likely already has some built-in activities (eating, for one!), but depending on the type of event, you may want to have a few additional distractions planned - especially if there are kids at the party. Try a few of these: * Revive old favorites. Classic lawn games like croquet or lawn bowling are easy to set up and are great icebreakers if not everyone knows each other. You can mix things up and create your own variations on the rules. * Spray-paint your grass. Use ground-marking spray to create giant game boards directly on your lawn.
Twister, checkers, tic-tac-toe - use your imagination! * Play putt putt. Set up a miniature golf course with plastic cups as targets, and make challenging obstacles using whatever random objects you have on hand. One of the great advantages of entertaining outdoors is that it’s usually easier and less stressful than trying to fit a large group into your home. So keep things simple and don’t worry if you don’t have time for elaborate preparations - your backyard will naturally do most of the decorating and ambiance creation for you, and you’ll have plenty of options for outdoor activities for kids of all ages. - (BPT)

Ladera Ranch News Legal Notices NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-13-607526-HL Order No.: 6455567 NOTE: THERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT ATTACHED TO THE COPY PROVI DED TO THE MORTGAGOR OR TRUSTOR (Pursuant to Cal. Civ. Code 2923.3) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 11/15/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial C ode and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): YEOTA CHRISTIE, A MARRIED WOMAN AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY Recorded: 11/20/2006 as Instrument No. 2006000783988 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of ORANGE County, California; Date of Sale: 7/15/2016 at 1:30PM Place of Sale: At the North front entrance to the County Courthouse located at 700 Civic Center Drive West, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $1,977,446.90 The purported property address is: 29 STRATHMORE, LADERA RANCH, CA 92694 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 759-291-42 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. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sa le date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-13-607526-HL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.
