CALIFORNIA HI GHWAY PATROL HOSTED COFFEE WITH A COP JUNE 30th 2016 AT LADERA RANCH STARBUCKS Photo and story by: Amy R. Spurgeon-Hoffman, Staff Reporter Ladera Ranch News On June 30, 2016, officers from the California Highway Patrol Capistrano Area office and community members came together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, have coffee and build relationships at the new Ladera Ranch Starbucks Evenings Store, 27622 Antonio Pkwy. All community members were invited to attend the event that was held from 8:00 a.m. – 11 a.m. on June 30th. Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the Department’s work in Orange County neighborhoods. The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and some community members may feel officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.
“We hope community members will welcome the opportunity to ask questions, bring concerns forward, or simply get to know our officers,” said Captain Jim Fonseca “These interactions are the foundation of community partnerships.” Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the country as local police departments strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve. The program aims to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships between police officers and community members one cup of coffee. Starbucks Store Manager Craig Freeman said the event was a huge success for his store. “We came together with the California Highway Patrol to see how we could invite the community in to provide a safe-hub to discuss issues Captain Jim Fonseca, Lieutenant Denise Joslin, Officers Hope Maxson, Josh of concern for Ladera Ranch residents,” Freeman said. “It was great Nelson, Aaron Rothberg, Rafael Reynoso, and Aaron Branch. Ladera Ranch residents Sarah, with her children Ethan, 5, and 23-month old Jacks. Rachel, for everyone. A huge success!” with her children Hudsie, 4, and Brewer, 23-month old (held by CHP).

Legendary Guitarist Lee Ritenour Kicks off 2016 Concerts on the Green Series at the Festival of Arts Saturday, July 9 For the past eight years, the Festival of Arts has had the privilege to host some of the top legendary musicians known all over the world. Kicking off the wildly popular series, the Grammy-winning guitarist Lee Ritenour will perform on the Festival stage Saturday, July 9 from 1 – 2:30pm.

He has recorded more than 40 albums that have yielded 35 chart songs. In the 90s, Ritenour was a founding member of Fourplay, the most successful band in contemporary jazz, with keyboardist Bob James, bassist Nathan East and drummer Harvey Mason. The first Fourplay album in 1991 spent an unprecedented 33 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s contemporary jazz chart. Adding to this legacy is his latest CD released in 2015, Twist of Writ, commemorating 40 years since his debut recording,
First Course, on Epic Records. “Lee Ritenour is one of the world’s most renowned jazz guitarists,” said Susan Davis, director of special events for the Festival of Arts. “We’re very excited to have him kick off the Festival’s exciting concert series this year.” Lee Ritenour will perform on Saturday, July 9 from 1 – 2:30pm on stage at the Festival green.

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.

Tips for men to look and feel their best all summer long Let’s face it: summer is the season when everyone wants to look and feel their best. Warm weather and long days mean everyone’s heading outdoors, hanging with friends and enjoying the best of the season. Even the guys are looking great from relaxing at the beach, to putting down the golf greens, to walking the city sidewalks. This summer men can look and feel perfect all day long with the following helpful tips. Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy experts Dr. Francesca Fusco, a leading dermatologist who specializes in scalp and hair care, and celebrity stylist Jen Atkin, share some helpful tips for men as they head into the summer season. Protect the scalp: One area men often forget about protecting is the scalp and any and all outdoor activities call for a generous application of sunscreen. “It is important to think of the scalp as an extension of your face. The skin on your scalp is highly susceptible to UV rays,” says Fusco. When spending time in the sun, especially between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Fusco recommends dispensing sunscreen on a cotton swab and dabbing it along the part and hairline. Prolonged sun exposure can cause damaging burns that lead to a dry and flaky scalp. Fusco says that guys’ best bet is to “apply generously and often. If no sunscreen is around, wear a hat for foolproof protection.” Lather, rinse, repeat: When out
and about in the summer,perspiration is highly likely. “It is important to shampoo after working up a sweat because inadequate scalp and hair hygiene can lead to buildup of oil,” Fusco says. Reach for a shampoo that is packed with nourishing ingredients. “A clean, well-nourished scalp is a thriving scalp,” Fusco says. The perfect style: Don’t be afraid to switch up your look to reflect the easygoing nature of summer. One of the easiest ways is to change up your hair cut. “Many guys are nervous to try something new, but changing up your look is simple and can help to boost your confidence,” says Atkin. “Most men go right for the clippers and buzz it all off when the weather gets hot.”
Not ready to take it all off? “Another great option is to go for a style with shorter sides but keep length up top. It is easy to maintain and will grow out nicely too.” Complete the transformation with some new clothes to complement the new look. Stay hydrated: When heading out for an early morning jog or any outdoor workout, don’t forget to grab a bottle of water. Fusco recommends drinking at least two liters a day during the summer to replenish fluids lost by sweating. Your overall health, from your skin to how you perform in your sports game, will also benefit from the extra hydration. Opt for an insulated water bottle to keep water cool while out in the heat.
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. ~Walter Cronkite

RISING STAR PEYTON KIRKNER IS HIT OF LADERA RANCH 4TH OF JULY FESTIVITIES By: Amy R. Spurgeon-Hoffman, Staff Reporter Ladera Ranch News Eleven-year old Peyton Kirkner proved to 10,000 to 15,000 home town celebrants at Ladera Ranch’s Founders Park Ladera Ranch Community Services ‘s (LARCS) sponsored 4th of July Celebration that the concept of mind over matter is applicable by all ages.Peyton, a Ladera Ranch resident heading off to Ladera Ranch Middle School in the fall, won the chance of a lifetime July Fourth to sing America’s beloved National Anthem in front of her doting parents, Scott Kirkner and Allison Coit Kirkner, younger brother Jack, 9, her community and thousands more who settled down from the loud festivities center stage to listen intently as this young girl sang her heartfelt rendition of amateur poet Francis Scott Key’s, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” While her heart and soul connects with the outwardly demanding performing arts, Peyton reveals her inner shyness could have prevented her from taking on these life changing moments. “I was just telling myself to be brave,” a still excited Peyton said the day after her performance. “I just feel very proud of myself. I will remember that day for my whole entire life. I will never forget that moment.” Allison Coit Kirkner, a dedicated Mom to both her children, was nervous for her daughter’s big moment. She recalled days past when
Peyton’s shyness may have proved too much for such a public undertaking for anyone – let alone an 11-year old.“As soon as she hit that first high note, my husband [Scott] and I knew she had it,” Allison said. “When she was little, Peyton was really shy, but loved singing,” said Allison. “We signed her up for Singers Company in Ladera Ranch. It was the perfect environment to help her gain confidence.” “In the Spring of 2013, I took her to Toy Town [Ladera’s hometown Toy Store run for years there by South County Performing Arts founders Josh and Irene Vecchione] for a group voice lesson. Irene and Josh saw this super shy little kid come into their store and were so sweet to her even though she would barely talk to them,” Allison said. “When it was her turn, she reluctantly got up on the stage and belted out ‘You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile’ and all of the kids cheered for her!” That moment in Toy Town sealed her fate and Peyton has had recurring roles in SCPA’s musical theatre shows ever since.“I’m pretty sure nobody would consider Peyton shy anymore!,” Allison said. “She always gets the highest grade possible on her oral reports as well.” P E Y TO N D R E A M S F O R A CHANCE TO SING AT THE US OPEN IN NEW YORK “Peyton was just in New York City last week for a final callback audi-

Andrew also left the Civic Council four months after joining,” Chairman Weisgerber said. “At our June public meeting we appointed Ladera Ranch resident Jennifer Powers to the Board, so our Council is now back to full strength. We do still have one open seat and the election is coming up, getting the word out about what we do is critical right now.” said Weisgerber. Powers has been a community volunteer who heads up the Ladera R a n c h N e i g h b o r h o o d Wa t c h Facebook Page and acts as a

Human Options Honors Founding CEO Vivian Clecak and raises $425K at the charity event Photos by: Ann Chatillon Human Options’ co-founder and longtime CEO Vivian Clecak was honored with the 2016 Dove Award in front of 400 guests at the St. Regis Monarch Beach with an elegant black-tie affair that included a cocktail reception, awards program and videos, gourmet dinner, live auction and an after party with music and dancing. The net proceeds of approximately $425,000 from the event will be used to support Human Options’ mission of working to stop the cycle of domestic violence in Orange County. Clecak retired at the end of January after almost 35 years at the helm of Human Options and this year’s fundraiser, Rooted with Love, An Evening of Serious Fun, was dedicated to her vision and long-term service. In 1981, Clecak co-founded Human Options with community leaders Carolyn Churm, Margaret Thoreau and Anne Wright and the organization has since served over 320,000 victims affected by domestic violence. Organizers shared that Vivian led the organization through an incredible journey of growth and her legacy will live on in every life that has or will be changed because of her vision. The elegant St Regis ballroom was adorned in muted pinks with tree-like centerpieces tied to the ‘rooted with love’ theme. Honorary event chairs Steve Churm, Julie Hill and Jean Weiss and event chair Caroline Marchant welcomed attendees and gave personal accounts about their experiences in knowing and working with Clecak and Human Options over the years. Human Options CEO Maricela Rios-Faust presented a special Dove Award to Clecak - a tribute book filled with messages and photos of the many people whose lives were touched during her leadership of the organization. Scott Allen and Ryan Wilkinson shared details about a Legacy Campaign in Vivian’s honor which began last year with a $500,000 challenge grant by the Swayne Family Foundation for endowment. While the endowment challenge was successfully completed in May 2015, the second half of the campaign, Bridge to the Future, kicked-off at last year’s Serious Fun. Allen and Wilkinson, Legacy Campaign co-chairs, announced that the second campaign raised an additional $1.1 million bringing the Legacy Campaign total to over $2 million ensuring Vivian’s legacy and the continued success of Human Options. The live auction featured trips to the California wine country, Four Seasons Resort Maui and Hilton Grand Vacations in Hawaii along with an honorary Anaheim Duck for a day and private suite, Bloomindale’s beauty brunch and a step-in role in The Simpsons TV series. After the live and Rebuild-a-life auction, the ballroom opened up for an after party with DJ and dancing. The mission of Human Options is to provide safe haven and life changing programs to help abused women, their children and families rebuild their lives, while working with the community to break the cycle of domestic violence. Now in its 35th year, Human Options provides a full continuum of services to stop the violence – from prevention and early intervention programs to emergency shelter and long-term transitional housing. Over 20,000 clients are served annually and independent academic research consistently verifies that 90% of their residential clients continue to be violence free one year or more after graduating from the program.

Exciting voting Propositions for Ladera ranch Ballot Measures
The Secretary of State’s office has issued a corrected list of proposition numbers for the legislative, initiative, and referendum measures set to appear on the November 8, 2016, General Election ballot. Proposition 51 School Bonds. Funding for K-12 School and Community College Facilities. Initiative Statutory Amendment. Authorizes $9 billion in general obligation bonds: $3 billion for new construction and $3 billion for modernization of K-12 public school facilities; $1 billion for charter schools and vocational education facilities; and $2 billion for California Community Colleges facilities. Bars amendment to existing authority to levy developer fees to fund school facilities, until new construction bond proceeds are spent or December 31, 2020, whichever is earlier. Bars amendment to existing State Allocation Board process for allocating school construction funding, as to these bonds. Appropriates money from the General Fund to pay off bonds. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: State General Fund costs of $17.6 billion to pay off principal ($9 billion) and interest ($8.6 billion) on bonds over a period of 35 years. Annual payments would average $500 million. Annual payments would be relatively low in the initial and final few years and somewhat higher in the intervening years. (15-0005.) Proposition 53 Revenue Bonds. Statewide Voter Approval. Initiative Constitutional Amendment. Requires statewide voter approval before any revenue bonds can be issued or sold by the state for projects that are financed, owned, operated, or managed by the state or any joint agency created by or including the state, if the bond amount exceeds $2 billion. Prohibits dividing projects into multiple separate projects to avoid statewide voter approval requirement. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: The fiscal effect on state and local governments is unknown and would vary by project. It would depend on (1) the outcome of projects brought before voters, (2) the extent to which the state relied on alternative approaches to the projects or alternative financing methods for affected projects, and (3) whether those methods have higher or lower costs than revenue bonds. (15-0003.) Proposition 54 Legislature. Legislation and Proceedings. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute. Prohibits Legislature from passing any bill unless it has been in print and published on the Internet for at least 72 hours before the vote, except in cases of public emergency. Requires the Legislature to make audiovisual recordings of all its proceedings, except closed session proceedings, and post them on the Internet. Authorizes any person to record legislative proceedings by audio or video means, except closed session proceedings. Allows recordings of legislative proceedings to be used for any legitimate purpose, without payment of any fee to the State. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Increased costs to state government of potentially $1 million to $2 million initially and about $1 million annually for making additional legislative proceedings available in audiovisual form on the Internet. (15-0083.) Proposition 55 Tax Extension to Fund Education and Healthcare. Initiative Constitutional Amendment. Extends by twelve years the temporary personal income tax increases enacted in 2012 on earnings over $250,000 (for single filers; over $500,000 for joint filers; over $340,000 for heads of household). Allocates these tax revenues 89% to K-12 schools and 11% to California Community Colleges. Allocates up to $2 billion per year in certain years for healthcare programs. Bars use of education revenues for administrative costs, but provides local school governing boards discretion to decide, in open meetings and subject to annual audit, how revenues are to be spent. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Increased state revenues annually from 2019 through 2030—likely in the $5 billion to $11 billion range initially—with amounts varying based on stock market and economic trends. Increased Page 14
revenues would be allocated under constitutional formulas to schools and community colleges, budget reserves and debt payments, and health programs, with remaining funds available for these or other state purposes. (15-0115.) Proposition 56 & $2.00 Pack Tax Cigarette Tax to Fund Healthcare, Tobacco Use Prevention, Research, and Law Enforcement. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute. Increases cigarette tax by $2.00 per pack, with equivalent increase on other tobacco products and electronic cigarettes containing nicotine. Allocates revenues primarily to increase funding for existing healthcare programs; also for tobacco use prevention/control programs, tobacco-related disease research and law enforcement, University of California physician training, dental disease prevention programs, and administration. Excludes these revenues from Proposition 98 funding requirements. If tax causes decreased tobacco consumption, transfers tax revenues to offset decreases to existing tobacco-funded programs and sales tax revenues. Requires biennial audit. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Net increase in excise tax revenues in the range of $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion annually by 2017-18, with revenues decreasing slightly in subsequent years. The majority of funds would be used for payments to health care providers. The remaining funds would be used for a variety of specified purposes, including tobacco-related prevention and cessation programs, law enforcement programs, medical research on tobaccorelated diseases, and early childhood development programs. (15-0081.) Proposition 57 Criminal Sentences. Juvenile Criminal Proceedings and Sentencing. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute. Allows parole consideration for persons convicted of nonviolent felonies upon completion of full prison term for primary offense, as defined. Authorizes Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to award sentence credits for rehabilitation, good behavior, or educational achievements. Requires Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to adopt regulations to implement new parole and sentence credit provisions and certify they enhance public safety. Provides juvenile court judges shall make determination, upon prosecutor motion, whether juveniles age 14 and older should be prosecuted and sentenced as adults. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Net state savings that could range from the tens of millions of dollars to the low hundreds of millions of dollars annually primarily due to a reduction in the prison population from additional paroles granted and credits earned. Net county costs that could range from the millions to tens of millions of dollars annually, declining to a few million dollars after initial implementation of the measure. (15-0121.) Proposition 58 Lara. English language education. Requires, among other things, that all children in California public schools be taught English by being taught in English. Proposition 227 specifies that English learner pupils, as defined, be educated through sheltered English immersion, as defined, during a temporary transition period not normally intended to exceed one year. Proposition 227 further provides that its requirements relating to sheltered English immersion instruction may be waived with the prior written consent of a pupil’s parent or legal guardian, as specified. Proposition 227 also encourages family members and others to provide personal English language tutoring to English learner pupils. This bill would amend and repeal various provisions of Proposition 227. The bill would, among other things, delete the sheltered English immersion requirement and waiver provisions, and would instead provide that school districts and county offices of education shall, at a minimum, provide English learners with a structured English immersion program, as specified. The bill would authorize parents or legal guardians of pupils enrolled in the school to choose a language acquisition program that best suits their child, as provided. (2) Existing law requires, on or before July 1, 2014, the governing board of each
The Ladera Ranch News
school district and each county board of education to adopt a local control and accountability plan and requires the governing board of each school district and each county board of education to update its plan on or before July 1 of each year. As part of the process for developing the local control and accountability plan, existing law requires the superintendent of the school district or the county superintendent of schools to both present the plan or annual update to the plan to a parent advisory committee and an English learner parent advisory committee for review and comment, and to respond, in writing, to comments received from the committees. Existing law also requires the superintendent of the school district and the county superintendent of schools to notify members of the public of the opportunity to submit written comments regarding the specific actions and expenditures proposed to be included in the local control and accountability plan or annual update to the plan. This bill would, as part of the parent and community engagement process required for the development of a local control and accountability plan, require school districts and county offices of education to solicit input on, and provide to pupils, effective and appropriate instructional methods, including, but not limited to, establishing language acquisition programs, as defined. (3) Proposition 227 also specifies that a pupil’s parent or legal guardian has standing to sue for enforcement of its provisions and, if successful, to receive normal and customary attorney’s fees and actual damages, but not punitive or consequential damages. Proposition 227 further provides that school board members, other elected officials, and public school teachers or administrators who willfully and repeatedly refuse to implement its provisions may be held personally liable for fees and actual damages by a pupil’s parent or legal guardian. This bill would delete those provisions. (4) Proposition 227 provides that its provisions may be amended by a statute to further its purpose passed by a 2/ vote of each house of the Legislature3 and signed by the Governor. This bill would delete the requirement that the amendment further the purpose of Proposition 227, and would revise the vote threshold to a majority vote in each house of the Legislature. (5) This bill would make these provisions operative on July 1, 2017. (6) The California Constitution authorizes the Legislature to amend or repeal an initiative statute by another statute that becomes effective when approved by the electors. This bill would provide that it would become effective only upon approval of the voters, and would require the Secretary of State to submit this measure to the voters for approval at the November 2016 statewide general election. Proposition 61 State Prescription Drug Purchases. Pricing Standards. Initiative Statute. Prohibits state agencies from paying more for a prescription drug than the lowest price paid for the same drug by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Applies to any program where the state is the ultimate payer for a drug, even if the state does not purchase the drug directly. Exempts certain purchases of prescription drugs funded through Medi-Cal. Fiscal impact: It is the opinion of the Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance that the measure, if adopted, may result in a substantial net change in state or local finances. (15-0009.) Proposition 62 Death Penalty. Initiative Statute. Repeals death penalty as maximum punishment for persons found guilty of murder and replaces it with life imprisonment without possibility of parole. Applies retroactively to persons already sentenced to death. States that persons found guilty of murder and sentenced to life without possibility of parole must work while in prison as prescribed by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Increases to 60% the portion of wages earned by persons sentenced to life without the possibility of parole that may be applied to any victim restitution fines or orders against them. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Net reduction in state and local government costs of potentially around $150 million annually within a few years due to the elimination of the death penalty. (15-0066.)
Proposition 63 Firearms. Ammunition Sales. Initiative Statute. Prohibits possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines, and requires their disposal by sale to dealer, destruction, or removal from state. Requires most individuals to pass background check and obtain Department of Justice authorization to purchase ammunition. Requires most ammunition sales be made through licensed ammunition vendors and reported to Department of Justice. Requires lost or stolen firearms and ammunition be reported to law enforcement. Prohibits persons convicted of stealing a firearm from possessing firearms. Establishes new procedures for enforcing laws prohibiting firearm possession by felons and violent criminals. Requires Department of Justice to provide information about prohibited persons to federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Increased state costs in the tens of millions of dollars annually related to regulating ammunition sales, likely offset by various regulatory fees authorized by the measure. Increase in court and law enforcement costs, not likely to exceed the tens of millions of dollars annually, related to removing firearms from prohibited persons as part of court sentencing proceedings. These costs could be offset to some extent by fees authorized by the measure. Potential increase in state and local correctional costs, not likely to exceed the low millions of dollars annually, related to new and increased penalties. (15-0098.) Proposition 64 Marijuana Legalization. Initiative Statute. Legalizes marijuana and hemp under state law. Designates state agencies to license and regulate marijuana industry. Imposes state excise tax on retail sales of marijuana equal to 15% of sales price, and state cultivation taxes on marijuana of $9.25 per ounce of flowers and $2.75 per ounce of leaves.
