Lake Shasta Fishing and Vacation Information By Kimberly Sharpe Lake Shasta, nestled beside the snow-capped Mount Shasta in northern California, spans 29,500 acres and boasts 370 miles of shoreline. The lake has diverse fishing opportunities with abundant rainbow trout, brown trout, crappie, kokanee salmon, king salmon, catfish, sturgeon, bluegill, spotted bass, largemouth bass and smallmouth bass. Considered a true fishermen’s mecca, the lake offers boat fishing and shoreline fishing choices. The largest man-made lake in California, Lake Shasta has a maximum fishing depth of 512 feet. Construction of the lake was completed in 1945 and the lake was officially filled in 1948. Four rivers, known as arms, empty into the lake. The McCloud river, Squaw creek, Sacramento river and Pit river flow into the lake and create its unique large arms which gives Lake Shasta its irregular shoreline appearance. Innumerable mountain streams and spring runoff sites also empty into the lake. Marinas and Boat Launches Lake Shasta’s shoreline is dotted with 11 marinas. Each one offers boat docking and tackle supplies for anglers. Around the lake fishermen will find seven public boat launches. There is a minimal fee charged to launch a boat from any of the ramps. The ever changing seasonal water level of the lake dictates which boat launches will be open. If the water level is low a few launches may be closed. The Shasta Lake Visitor Information Centers monitor and provide boaters with current boat launch information. Each boat launch features
ample parking for vehicles and boat trailers. Courtesy docks are available at the boat launch site to load gear and passengers into the boat. Fishing Locations Fishermen tend to congregate around the area of the arms that empty into the lake to catch fish. The McCloud river arm draws fishermen wishing to catch brown trout, according to the California Game & Fish. The fish spawn in the McCloud river in the fall and begin to enter Shasta lake using the river’s inlet during November and December when their spawning cycle is complete. The Jones Valley provides easy fishing access with paved roads to the Pit river arm where fishermen congregate to catch rainbow trout. The area features beach side camping locations, a full service campground and a public boat launch. Planted Fish Every year the California Department of Fish and Game plants
over 30,000 rainbow trout into Lake Shasta. Many of the marinas around the lake also raise rainbow trout in underwater cages until they reach magnum size before releasing them into the lake. Native rainbow trout can be found congreting near the mountain streams that drain into the lake and beside the arms where they breed. Shore Fishing The Lake Shasta area offers shoreline fishing locations. Along the Sacramento Arm, off Lancaster Drive, fishermen will find easy access to simply walk down to the shore and cast a line. The upper portions of the McCloud arm are also readily accessible on foot with trails that lead down to the shore side. Winter months offer an ideal time for shoreline trout fishing because the fish rise up along the waters surface beside the shoreline in search of food.

For those that have experienced both, one will note differences in how crawfish and shrimp are served back in Louisiana and here in Orange County. Another interesting cross cultural connection between Louisiana and Orange County is the introduction of

Brain foods : Eating for academic success
What do the foods your children eat have to do with the grades they bring home? Surprisingly, more than many people think. Research shows that certain vitamins and nutrients support brain health and development. That means the snacks, meals and supplements your child consumes can give them an academic edge, in the classroom and in life. Lauren Zimet, director of the Early Insights Healthy Foundations Program and a mother herself, understands how food can empower the body and brain. Here are Zimet’s top picks for brain foods that can help support your child’s learning and development. Powerful proteins Protein for breakfast and lunch will not only curb hunger pangs throughout the school day, but will also help sustain mental energy and level moods. Kid-friendly protein ideas include eggs, organic chicken/ turkey/beef, non-GMO nitrate-free turkey bacon, and beans. Have leftovers from last night? Dinners in the U.S. traditionally have more protein than other meals, so eating last night’s leftovers in the morning is a fun brain-boosting breakfast option. Incredible carbohydrates Some examples of healthy complex carbohydrates to incorporate into
your child’s diet are brown rice, quinoa and oats. These types of carbs elevate levels of serotonin in the brain, which has a calming effect. Need bread? Look for organic options so you can feel confident your child is consuming the nutrients they need and not the additional chemicals that are commonly found in conventional breads and grains. Fantastic fats Did you know the brain is about 60 percent fat? That means when your kids eat healthy fats, it can support brain function. Pack snacks with nuts, seeds and avocado. When cooking, replace unhealthy hydrogenated oils with healthier options such as extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil. Eat more meals with cold-water fish like salmon to get more omega-3 essential fats, which play an integral role in promoting cellular health and brain development. Mighty nuts and seeds These nutritional powerhouses provide generous amounts of calories, fats, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Kids can enjoy making their own healthy seed-nut snack mixes, then package in baggies or small containers. Also, try swapping traditional peanut butter for other nut butters like almond or cashew for a healthier take on PB&J. Super supplements Omega-3
fish oil supplements are becoming more and more recognized as part of a healthy family diet. They are a convenient source of the omega3s - especially EPA and DHA - that are so crucial to optimal brain health and function. It’s important to know where your fish oil comes from and how it is purified. Nordic Naturals specializes in purified, molecularly distilled oils that come in various formulations, including a variety of options for children. Learn more at www.nordicnaturals.com. Vivacious veggies and fruit Real, whole foods like fresh fruits
and vegetables support brain health while calming the nervous system during times of stress. Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are full of antioxidants and vitamin C, which research shows helps regulate cortisol, a hormone responsible for stress. And don’t forget bananas! Not only are they full of potassium, but they also help the body produce hormones that help reduce stress and promote better sleep. By paying a little attention to the foods your child eats, you’ll be set for a healthy start to a brain-smart school year. - (BPT)

L ast month in ladera Ladera Ranch Surf Soccer Juggle-A-Thon Last Month
The Ladera Ranch Surf Soccer Juggle-A-Thon took place on June 30! The club partnered with Anython to launch its fundraising campaign, which will help teams to pay for expenses associated with equipment, activities and coach education. On Friday, June 30, the Ladera Ranch Surf family participated in the juggling event, located at Cox Sports Park on the Main Turf Field (Soccer A). Each player had 20 minutes to juggle and come up with his or her highest consecutive number of juggles. Coaches anticipated that younger players would complete approximately 25 to 100 juggles, with older players completing 100 to 200 juggles. Those who chose to donate could pledge per juggle, or a flat amount.
Ladera Ranch Surf has been entrenched in the community for the last 8 years. Although its name has changed, it continues to be an exciting, focused and committed youth soccer organization that has embraced the Ladera Ranch Community. Through the Ladera Ranch Surf program, more than 200 kids compete at the highest levels of youth soccer. Under the tutelage of skilled coaches and caring professionals, each player has the chance to increase selfconfidence, promote health and wellbeing and excel at a sport amongst peers. To view the Anython donation page, visit http://anython.com/ladera. About Anython: Anython’s concept combines an unlimited fundraising network while rewarding actions by linking pledges. Students, athletes, teams or groups collect pledges for every measurable feat achieved, and teams are encouraged to choose an activity that highlights their students’ talents and skills. Anython encourages them not only to help raise money for a good cause, but to push themselves and put their skills to the test.

Mission Viejo Elks “Let Freedom Ring” in Parade
Mission Viejo Elks had the largest presence in the parade By Dave McLeod and Mike Klinger Photos by Mike Klinger The Mission Viejo / Saddleback Valley Elks #2444 Elks participated in the City of Lake Forest July 4th Parade “Let Freedom Ring” for the seventh year. Over eighty members and guests gathered in the Summer heat to represent the local Saddleback Valley area Lodge. As the Elks began to line-up and prepare for the start, event promoters mentioned to Elks event Chairman and Lecturing Knight, Dave McLeod PER, that Mission Viejo Elks had the largest participation in the Lake Forest Parade this year. “I would like to thank the City of Lake Forest for supporting the community with the parade every year. The Elks look forward to being involved each year and seeing the thousands and thousands of families lining the streets,” stated Past Lodge President, McLeod. Elks veterans, members, and friends began to show-up at 8.30 am to decorate the Elks float, prepare the vehicles that veterans would ride

in and to make sure that “Big John”, the antique firetruck was buffed, shiny and ready to go. The Elks sponsored Boy Scouts from Troop 603 led the precession carrying the Elks Lodge banner and the American Flag. Past District Deputy Harvey Boelts, retired Laguna Beach Fire Captain, drove the firetruck “Big John”, Leading Knight Mike Klinger towed a trailer decorated with flags and streamers with Elk members sitting atop hay bales and the Mayor of Mission Viejo, Wendy Bucknum, an Elks member, sported herself on top of lodge Trustee Basia Bills Corvette. Rounding out the Elks parade entry were vehicles carrying veterans and members followed by the chase car driven by Elk Stephanie Bongartz of Bongo Ink who donated all the parade decorations, drinking water and light snacks that were needed on a hot day. Parade over, and the Elks members retreated to the comfort of the Elks Lodge and an afternoon BBQ for members and guests. The Lodge
patio was colorfully decorated in red white and blue honoring our country’s birthday. Members had a hard time choosing between the comforts of the air conditioned Lodge building and the fun on the backyard patio where the Rock of Ages Band performed. The Mission Viejo/Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge #2444 is celebrating 48 years of service to Saddleback Valley
Communities. It is one of 10 lodges in the Orange Coast District of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) whose headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois.

MOMS Orange County Celebrates 25 Years and Raises over $63,000
The Ladera Ranch News
Sabrina Schuck PhD with Pamela Pimentel RN and Dottie Andrews MOMS Orange County, a Santa Ana-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping at-risk mothers and their families have healthy babies, hosted its annual Healthy Beginnings, Bright Futures fundraising luncheon at Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel in Anaheim. The event raised $63,000 and celebrated the nonprofit’s 25 years of service by sharing advances and opportunities to improve the health of pregnant women and babies in Orange County. “For the past 25 years, we have walked with women and families when they are highly vulnerable,” said MOMS Orange County CEO Pamela Pimentel, RN. “Because of MOMS Orange County, mothers have access to prenatal care, babies are born healthy and reach their developmental milestones on time, and fathers are prepared for a positive role in the family.” The fundraiser featured an interactive panel of renowned maternal-child health experts who unpacked the retrospective and shed light on hot topics surrounding maternal and infant health including maternal morbidity, perinatal mental health and child development. The discussion was facilitated by Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian’s Chief Quality Officer Allyson Brooks, M.D. who shared that the number of births in Orange County has declined over the last 25 years with 38,720 recorded births in 1989 and 37,621 in 2015 – despite an increase of 1 Bev Kavanagh and Annika Chase million residents over that same time period. She also highlighted improved birth outcomes including a decrease in infant mortality rates in Orange County (6.8 per 1,000 births in 1989 compared to 3.0 per 1,000 births in 2014) while shedding light on areas of concern such as babies with low birthweight (up 1.2 percent since 1989). Panelists included Patricia De Marco Centeno, M.D., a reproductive psychiatrist and Director of Hoag Women’s Mental Health Program and Consultation Liaison Service who touched on the leading obstetrical complication of pregnancy in the U.S. – maternal depression. David C. Lagrew, Jr. M.D., OB-GYN and Executive Medical Director of Women’s Services at St. Joseph Hoag Health shared notable changes in obstetrical care that have occurred in Orange County over the last 25 years including the increase in pregnancy rates among women age 30 and older, escalation in maternal morbidity, the uptick in cesareans and new challenges like birth tourism. In addition, Sabrina E.B. Schuck, Ph.D., an expert on child development and early intervention and Executive Director of the Child Development Center at UC Irvine stressed why parents of young children need to play more with their kids and also foster conditions that lead to resilience. In preparation for the retrospective, local perinatal experts were invited MOMS Orange County CEO Pamela Pimentel RN and Client Mother to share insights into the current perinatal environment and to identify key of the Year Yerika Segura focus areas for MOMS Orange County for the next two to three years. Five high priority areas were identified including early prenatal care, substanceexposed infants, breastfeeding, maternal morbidity and maternal mental health. Fullerton resident Yerika Segura was recognized as MOMS Orange County’s Client Mother of the Year during the luncheon. The 27-year-old mother and her husband attended multiple classes at MOMS Orange County to prepare for the birth of their son who was born with a cleft lip. During the luncheon, Segura noted the support and guidance from MOMS Orange County staff members helped her overcome post-partum depression and thrive. Following graduation from MOMS Orange County’s Mommy and Me program, Yerika has continued to lead mommy meet-ups outside of the nonprofit to support other local at-risk mothers. Funds raised during the event will support MOMS Orange County’s efforts to provide access to prenatal care, maternal health screenings, infant health and developmental screenings, health education and referral services to more than 3,500 low-income families annually in underserved communities in Orange County.

Here are some highlights: New OC Fair rides The OC Fair is adding three new rides this year and one new funhouse, making the carnival bigger and more exciting than ever before! The new La Grande Wheel XL is so big that it was transported on 22 semi-trailer trucks to get to the Fairgrounds. It is 130 feet tall, weighs 616,000 pounds and features a halfmillion LED lights. The 36 cabins are climate-controlled and hold six to eight people. It takes the Ferris wheel about three and a half minutes to make a full circle and can carry about 2,000 passengers an hour. La Grande Wheel XL cost $6 million to build and is one of the largest traveling observation wheels in the western hemisphere. This giant new Ferris wheel was manufactured in Europe and is known as the Mercedes Benz of carnival wheels. But two is better than one! For the first time ever, OC Fair will feature two giant Ferris wheels to whisk riders high into the sky for a panoramic view. La Grande Wheel XL will be joined by the Big Wheel. Standing more than 108 feet tall, the Big Wheel features the newest technology for a smooth ride. It’s equipped with LED lights and 24 open-air gondolas. Also making its debut at the OC Fair is Endeavor – an open-air ride in which passengers are suspended in their seats and experience 3G acceleration. Riders will feel the
