How to prepare your pet for s u mm e r f u n - a n d b e y o n d The dark, cold days of winter are nearly behind us, and many people are looking forward to warmer weather and outdoor activities. Dogs also appreciate their time in the sun.

So, it’s important to keep in mind what you need to do to make sure your dog is ready to enjoy summer activities.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) provides important summertime pet care tips, including: * Provide adequate water and shade * Never leave your dog in the car * Take walks and play outside during cooler hours of the day * Avoid walking on hot pavement that can hurt your dog’s paws * Provide regular flea and tick protection And, if your dog isn’t on a regular schedule of heartworm preventive, now is a good time to start. Many people don’t realize that while mosquito bites are usually a minor irritation for most people, for dogs, just one mosquito bite can be life-threatening. This is because mosquitoes carry heartworm.

Heartworm disease may exhibit few symptoms. When diagnosed, it is difficult and expensive to treat and, if not caught in time, can be fatal.

If you don’t live in an area with a heavy concentration of mosquitoes, or if your dog doesn’t spend a lot of time outside, you may think that your dog is not at risk. According to the American Heartworm Society (AHS), “Heartworm disease is spreading to new regions of the country each year.

Stray and neglected dogs and certain wildlife such as coyotes, wolves and foxes can be carriers of heartworms.

Mosquitoes blown great distances by the wind and the relocation of infected pets to previously uninfected areas all contribute to the spread of heartworm disease.” The AHS recommends year-round protection

because it is “an easy thing to do and is much less expensive than treating serious, sometimes deadly, heartworm disease.” Leading veterinary organizations including the Companion Animal Parasite Council, the American Animal Hospital Association and the AVMA also support year-round protection.

For many people, however, remembering that monthly heartworm pill is easier said than done. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Veterinary Medicine agreed to revisions under which ProHeart 6, a six-month injectable heartworm preventive, may be administered.

The changes were made based on a safety study encompassing 4 1/2 years’ worth of data that demonstrated that predictable safety and efficacy remained consistent as use of the injection increased. This data shows that ProHeart 6 is safe and effective for the prevention of canine heartworm disease for six full months in dogs age 6 months and older.

“Monthly heartworm medications are effective, if they are given on the proper schedule,” says John Santilli of Mayfair Animal Hospital in Cary, N.C. “Unfortunately, many of my clients have busy lives, and, while they have the best of intentions, doses are missed. Heartworm disease is a serious problem here in North Carolina. That’s one reason I rely on the six-month, injectable heartworm preventive. Not only does it give my clients the peace of mind that their dogs are protected against heartworm disease, the biannual visits allow me to make sure that those dogs are healthy in other respects, too. We can check for any dental issues, examine for tumors and help keep our canine patients in good shape for summer activities - and all year round.”

As with any medication, it’s critical to consult with your dog’s veterinarian

to see if an injectable heartworm preventive is a good option to provide six months of protection to your dog and six months of peace of mind for you.

I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y INFORMATION: ProHeart 6 should be used in healthy dogs. Do not administer to sick, debilitated, underweight dogs or dogs that have a history of weight loss.

Prior to administration, ProHeart 6 certified veterinarians should continue to assess patient health through a medical history, physical examination and if deemed appropriate, diagnostic testing. Continue to use caution when administering ProHeart 6 concurrently with vaccinations. Adverse events, including anaphylaxis, have been reported following the concomitant use of ProHeart 6 and vaccines. In some cases, anaphylactic reactions have resulted in death. Use with caution in dogs with pre-existing or uncontrolled allergic disease (food allergy, atopy or flea allergy dermatitis). Dogs receiving ProHeart 6 should be tested for existing heartworms as per the product label.

In people, avoid ProHeart 6 contact with eyes. If contact with the eyes occurs, rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately. ProHeart 6 is available only to veterinarians through a restricted distribution program.

Only certified veterinarians and staff can administer it. For more safety information, see full Prescribing Information. - (BPT)

Respecting the stars and stripes: American flag etiquette

Summers are packed with outdoor activities, barbecues and patriotic celebrations. While the American flag is often an important part of these celebrations, many of us have questions about how to properly care for and display it.

“Flag etiquette can be confusing,” says Mary “Dubbie” Buckler, executive director and national secretary of the American Legion Auxiliary. “Many Americans want to show patriotism, but do not know the standards of respect and traditions associated with flag flying.”

The American Legion Auxiliary, the world’s largest women’s patriotic organization, helps to advance the mission of The American Legion, the nation’s largest veteran’s service organization, to provide service to veterans, military and their families.

The American Legion has played an important role in establishing the standards of flag etiquette since before the passing of the first national codes in 1923, and has worked diligently to uphold these historical standards. Today, much of flag etiquette can be found in the Flag Code, official national rules regarding the American flag.

“The American flag is meant to be enjoyed and celebrated,” Buckler says. “The American Legion Auxiliary is passionate about educating the public so they can do so with proper respect for the freedom and sacrifices it represents.”

$20 OFF WEDNESDAY SPECIAL SMOG INSPECTION $59.95 reg. price +$8.25 state Cert + data link $3.00

Buckler shares the following guidelines for using, displaying and caring for the American flag.

Hoisting and lowering of the flag * The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously. * The flag of the United States of America is saluted, or acknowledged by placing a hand over your heart, as it is hoisted and lowered. * When lowered, the flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water or merchandise.

Manner of displaying the flag * The Flag Code states it is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open. * When a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. * The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all-weather flag is displayed. * The flag should be displayed vertically, whether indoors or out, and suspended so that its folds fall free as though the flag were staffed. * When displayed in a window of a home or a place of business, the flag should be displayed in the same way; that is, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.

Storing and disposing of the flag * The Flag Code does not require

* Used as a drapery or for any other decoration. * Carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. * Used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying or delivering anything. * The flag should never be used as apparel, bedding or drapery. * Festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free.

Standing tall as an emblem of justice, perseverance, valor and honor, the American flag is an intricate part of what makes citizens proud to be American. As summer rays shine again and the flag takes its spotlight, it is important to educate yourself and others to show respect for the deep history and sacrifices this national symbol represents.

any specific method of storage, however, over time it has become tradition to fold the flag into a triangular shape like that of a three-corner hat, with only the blue union showing. * When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner. The American Legion frequently conducts flag retirement ceremonies, often on Flag Day, June 14.

Flag etiquette was established to honor and pay tribute to our nation and its history. As such, certain uses of the American flag are considered disrespectful. The flag should never be: * Displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

CLASSROOM AND CAMPUS UPGRADES, ESENCIA SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION AMONG TOP CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR CUSD THIS SUMMER The Capistrano Unified School District is busy updating its classrooms and technology during the summer break, including construction of the District’s new Esencia K-8 school from the ground up and undertaking a Solar Feasibility Study to improve District energy efficiency.

Construction continues at the Esencia K-8 school site in Rancho Mission Viejo, which will open in the fall of 2018. Facilities crews are also working on the construction of brickand-mortar classroom buildings at San Clemente High School and San Juan Hills High School. Also at San Clemente High School, crews are replacing the 13-year-old AstroTurf on the football field with new turf.

This summer the District is also working to improve and enhance our Career Technical Education Classrooms. Dana Hills High School’s culinary arts room will receive new, modern furniture and equipment, while Aliso Niguel High School will feature a brand new Forensics Lab. In addition, a new Engineering/ Construction Lab and new Fabrication (Fab) Lab will be constructed at San Juan Hills High and San Clemente High, respectively. Two new Virtual Enterprise classrooms with interactive TVs are planned for Dana Hills and

San Juan Hills High Schools. We are also on track to construct eleven new Investigation Labs at our middle schools. We will be unveiling these classrooms when school begins this fall.

“As we look to the year ahead, we are very excited about the many improvements taking place to expand career pathways through Career Technical Education,” said Capistrano Unified School District Superintendent Kirsten Vital. “Our District’s CTE programs stay on the cutting-edge to give our students the skills they need to be viable in today’s rapidly changing world.”

Our CTE students are busy this summer as well, with twelve students in the Law Pathway interning with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, and our CISCO IT students interning in our very own District Technology Information Systems (TIS) department.

“It is a very exciting opportunity for our students who have excelled in the CISCO IT computer networking course to get some hands-on experience in a summer internship with CUSD TIS,” said CTE Program Coordinator Pati Romo. “We are so grateful to all our business and industry partners.”

In August, we will open the Outdoor Science Classroom at Marblehead Elementary Environmental Studies Academy, where students will have a wonderful opportunity to learn in a unique environment.

Additionally, as part of the District’s Energy Conservation Program, a District-wide Solar Feasibility Study is underway. On June 6, District Facilities Management walked all six District high schools and the District Office to survey energy usage. As part of the project, students will work hand-in-hand with the District to help

make this dream of greater energy efficiency a reality. Students will be auditing, monitoring, and measuring electricity usage as an educational tool to establish innovation at every level within the school system.

A usage report will be compiled with recommendations for the District to consider in its Solar Strategy.

These, and many more facilities upgrades, will happen District-wide from now until August 22, the first day of the 2017-2018 school year.

Ric-rac Lace Pom-poms Iron and pressing surface Sewing machine Basic sewing supplies 1. Determine desired size for table linens and cut fabric to size, leaving 1-inch excess on each side for hemming.

2. For neatly finished edge (on toweling, for example), hem each raw edge by turning fabric toward wrong side 1/2 inch, iron flat, and then turn 1/2 inch again. Press well with an iron. Sew across turned edge, approximately 3/8 inch from edge, to secure hem in place.

3. To add decorative trim to edge of fabric, match right side and raw edge of trim to right side and raw edge of fabric. Stitch using 1/4-inch seam allowance. Turn and press under raw edge of fabric so that remaining portion of trim extends out. Topstitch along edge of fabric to secure trim in place.

4. Use hemmed and decorative edge linens as tablecloths and table runners to stage food and beverage tables. Add height to table by stacking books and then draping with decorative table linens. Place cake stands or food trays on top.

THUNDERING HERD ROLLS THROUGH LADERA

The Ladera Ranch Grand Prix Draws a Big Weekend Crowd Photos by William Casper The Ladera Ranch Grand Prix has been going on for the past eleven years. Taking only one hiatus last year, the race is a traditional Ladera Ranch favorite event. Ladera Ranch News photographer William Casper was out front last weekend to capture the drama and the excitement as crowds converged on the Ladera Ranch Town Square which had been cleared of cars and pedestrians for the marathon event.

The Ladera Ranch Gran Prix was arranged this year by well known bicycle race promoters Jeff Prinz and his wife Kris, who told the Ladera Ranch News; “The Ladera Ranch Gran Prix was previously run by great friend of the family and local Ladera resident Ryan Miller, who was also present and helped us this year to transition for us to take over. My wife, Kris, and I put on about a dozen cycling events per year in California.

We were excited to bring this back to

the community. We are thankful for the Ladera Ranch News and to all of the Ladera Ranch community in backing this wonderful family event.”

When the Ladera Ranch News reporter asked if he would be continuing the Gran Prix next year he said:”Next year we expect the Ladera Ranch Gran Prix to evolve into something even bigger, we anticipate the Ladera Ranch Community will provide even more support.Ladera Ranch simply loves this wonderful event!”

The Ladera Ranch News asked Jeff what event was most memorable about this race. Jeff replied: “Unquestionably the most exciting race of the day was the last race of the day; that fabulous category 3 race where professional triathlete, Alexender “Sasha” Romanenko, in his first time category 3 race, went off in front of the pack by himself and held of the entire field single handedly, for the entire race.”

Toll roads dominate LADERA CIVIC COUNCIL meeting L a d e r a R a n c h C i v i c C o u n c i l M a y 1 5 To l l R o a d M e e t i n g

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, Realtors, delivery people, service technicians, lawn care, pool service, Page 10

carpet cleaners, housekeepers, 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.

national Remarkable Women business owners gala event

The Ladera Ranch News

Debbie Dickson with Linda Kang, Mahyah Chassemian, and Liz Camaur

Photos by: Kait McKay Photography An air of anticipation permeated the City National Grove of Anaheim as attendees arrived for the 21st Annual Remarkable Women Awards Gala, presented by the National Association of Women Business Owners, Orange County Chapter (NAWBO-OC). Fox 11 News Anchor Christine Devine greeted guests as they entered.

The highlight of the gala was the heartwarming and inspiring speeches from the four award recipients upon being introduced by Devine.

“It has not been a straight or easy road,” said Loreen Gilbert, describing her journey to success as founder and president of Irvine-based WealthWise Financial and her commitment to an advocacy role for women in business.

Gilbert, named Business Advocate of the Year, was one of four Remarkable Women honorees at the lavish affair. The Laguna Beach resident, who was also NAWBO-OC’s 2016 Business Owner of the Year, is the only person ever to receive two Remarkable Women awards.

Her fellow honorees were: Heidi Hendy of Newport Beach-based H. Hendy Associates, Lifetime Achievement Award. Hendy lives in Newport Beach.

Scharrell Jackson with Anoosheh Oskouian, Loreen Gilbert and Anoosheh Oskouian of Signal Hill-based Ship & Shore Environmental, Inc., Heidi Hendy Business Owner of the Year. Oskouian is a Newport Beach resident. Scharrell Jackson of Newport Beach-based Leadership in Heels, Entrepreneur to Watch. Jackson lives in Lake Forest.

All four honorees agreed that running a business is like a roller coaster ride with a myriad of pitfalls awaiting the unwary – from being discounted as a woman in a male-dominated industry, described by Oskouian, to reorganization and receivership – both of which Hendy experienced since starting her interior architectural firm in 1979.

The theme of the event was “Stand” – “Stand for what you believe, stand in the face of obstacles, stand up for others, and stand together.”

“Most women business owners face a major challenge at some point and feel very vulnerable and alone. But, if you think about the people we admire in life, none of them have had it easy,” said NAWBO-OC President Liz Camaur. “They have faced traumatizing setbacks and bravely stood in the face of them to make something remarkable.”

Attendees were served a salad of mixed farm greens, grilled peaches and candied walnuts with buttermilk ranch followed by a deconstructed chicken Lucinda Salinas and Lisa Hallaian pot pie with spring vegetables or kale ravioli finished off with a chocolate pot de crème with a latte meringue.

In addition to the program, attendees bid on silent auction items benefiting NAWBO-OC and the Women’s Business Institute (WBI), a nonprofit that funds educational programs for women business owners seeking to supplement their skills through workshops, seminars or college courses.

Event sponsors were Rancho Las Lomas and Marketing Initiative Worx.

Corporate sponsor Henry Walker of Farmers & Merchants Bank spoke about the bank’s commitment to NAWBO-OC and women business owners during the program. The bank’s donations during its 14 years as a corporate sponsor total nearly $300,000.

Founded in 1991, the Orange County Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) provides information, resources and an environment for women business owners to thrive and grow. Nationwide, only about 4 percent of women business owners gross a million or more, but among NAWBO members, about 24 percent gross over a million. NAWBO boasts more than 5,000 members in 60 chapters across the U.S. The organization is represented in more than 60 countries worldwide.

By Bryan Golden In less than 200 years, America grew from a handful of colonies to become the greatest nation in history. In a few hundred years, we surpassed nations that were many times older.

What makes America great?

The two main elements that make America great are our people and our freedoms. Our people have a can do, nothing is impossible, spirit. Starting with the American Revolution, we have always conquered adversity, often in the face of overwhelming odds.

We have more rights and freedoms than anywhere else in the world. Our freedoms are considered inalienable rights, not privileges granted by government. Our freedoms are the envy of the world. Every item in the bill of rights is a precious jewel, designed to ensure the immortality of our liberty.

Our founders came from societies where government controlled its citizens. They had a solid understanding of the consequences of unchecked power. Our constitution was crafted specifically to limit the scope of government to prevent its infringing on individual liberties.

Our constitution is a brilliant document, filled with foresight and understanding, that has withstood the test of time. The principles embedded in

The Ladera Ranch News

What Makes America Great

the constitution are the foundation of our greatness.

In America, each citizen can control his or her destiny without fear of interference by government or others.

Our government was formed to serve the people rather than vice versa.

Our government was designed to play a minimal role in people’s lives.

Our doors have always been open to people from anywhere in the world who want to come here legally to work hard, contribute, and assimilate into our society. America’s reputation as a melting pot is derived from the fact that people from every walk of life can work together to create an unstoppable force for good.

In America anything is possible.

America is great because it offers its people unlimited opportunity to succeed by bringing their dreams to reality. In America, success requires hard work, determination, and persistence, not permission. We are constitutionally protected to prevent government from confiscating the results of our labor.

America is an engine for unprecedented productivity. Our economic system has been responsible for civilization transforming innovations and discoveries. No other country has even come close and many other

systems have failed miserably.

America has a big heart. Whether in this country or elsewhere, we help those who can not help themselves.

Americans are first on the scene in the wake of natural or civic disasters.

We are there with food, supplies, medical aid, and money. Our brave soldiers travel the globe defending those who can’t defend themselves.

In America there are no problems

that we can’t solve. Any obstacles we may face do not taint our greatness.

It is our greatness that enables us to overcome adversity and become even stronger in the process. Everyday, be thankful that you live in America and benefit from its greatness. Don’t take for granted that which people in other countries can only dream about. Be proud to be an American.
