Easy tips to create the perfect outdoor living room
It’s that time of year - time to dust off your patio furniture, fill your planters and set up to spend the spring outdoors. While expanding an outdoor space is a top renovation project for homeowners and renters alike, it does not have to induce a state of pre-spring stress. With a few simple tips, you can create an outdoor space that adds value and comfort to your home. Focus on your front entrance “Enhance your home’s curb appeal by brightening up your front entrance,” says The Home Depot’s Director of Trend and Design,
Sarah Fishburne. “A coat of brightly colored paint on your front door can redefine the look of your home.” This year, go bold with your color choice - try coral, tomato red, teal, aqua, violet, pistachio and cobalt. Add a wreath, doormat, kick plates and new door hardware to complete the look. Knobs and handles with a burnished bronze finish also hide fingerprints and don’t show tarnish as easily. After all, a fabulous front entrance can make a powerful first impression.Design your dream deck The base of any great outdoor space is a clean slate. Start with a good scrub and power wash. Echo the feel of your interior to create a cohesive style that makes it easy for you to move indoor decor outside when you are hosting. Start by creating a sense of space with an arbor or trellis. Use colors, furniture finishes and seasonal accessories that complement each other, such as a beautiful custom patio set from Brown Jordan. If you’re unsure where to start, use an online patio planning tool to make it easier to customize the look. Mix and match patterns, textures and sheens for a designer-inspired finish. For urban dwellers in apartments or small spaces, you can create a great outdoor space by installing a vertical garden filled with succulents and a small cocktail table and chairs. Accessorize and add color “Accessories aren’t just about making a fashion statement,” says Fishburne. “In fact, adding
finishing touches to your front and back porch creates a polished look and feel.” Not only does a weather-resistant, indoor/outdoor rug anchor furniture just like in a living room but it also adds a punch of pattern and color to complement your outdoor furniture. Adding big, bright flowers, such as red geraniums is a simple and cost effective way to brighten up your outdoor space. Not a gardener? Not a problem. Achieve beautiful results with minimal effort by using Drop ‘N Bloom pre-mixed containers of bright spring flowers. For additional pop, whitewash or paint your tired planters with this season’s hottest colors - pollen yellow or aquatic green. Plan for a party What’s a great outdoor space without others to share it with? Set up your space to host parties all season long. Don’t leave your guests in the dark - hang up string lights or place solar lights around the patio to get the party going. Create ambiance and a cool conversation piece with a fire pit or add colorful throw pillows for your guests to sit back and relax. Finally, set yourself up for a season of signature meals by planting an herb garden. Make the night more interactive by inviting your guests to help pick herbs that will complement the meal. For this and more project inspiration, check out The Home Depot’s Trend and Design Tumblr.

Group of Guide dogs Have you ever seen a visually impaired person in public and didn’t know how to react, or felt awkward? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to ‘see’ through the eyes of their guide dog? This September, for National Guide Dog Month, Natural Balance, the maker of premium-quality pet food and Guide Dogs for the Blind, a national non-profit that trains exceptional guide dogs to serve the blind or visually impaired are partnering up to spread awareness about the incredible bond between visually-impaired ‘handlers’ and their guide dogs. National Guide Dog Month was inspired by Natural Balance’s cofounder Dick Van Patten, who was blindfolded during a visit to a guide dog school and got to experience an amazing new way to move through the world. In addition to providing better mobility for their handlers, guide dogs provide a social bridge, opening a world of possibilities for friendship and human connection. Recently, local Los Angeles resident Melissa Hudson and her fourlegged partner Camry have been awarded with Natural Balance’s ‘Top Human-Canine Teams Who Make Us Believe’ recognition. They are an outstanding example of the profound partnership that humans and their dogs are capable Page 4
of—and something all dog lovers could aspire to. Here’s their story: Diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at age 3, Melissa was at risk of losing her eyesight from a very young age. In college, Melissa had to sit closer and closer to the whiteboard in her classes and could no longer see her friends waving to her across campus. As her vision continued to deteriorate, her doctor told her: “Melissa, you need to face the facts, you’re going blind.” She was just 27 years old. The hardest step after hearing this shocking news was accepting the use of a cane to help get around. Melissa wanted to bring her old self back and move around freely—her first step was to apply to Guide Dogs for the Blind. Now on her third guide dog—a beautiful black labrador named Camry—Melissa is an entirely different person. She says that with Camry, her “invisibility clock has been lifted.” Her independence and mobility have been enhanced, and new-found freedom shines through her countless adventures with Camry. The two have traveled to three continents, including North America, Europe, and Asia. Even more importantly, through the highest of highs and lowest of lows, Camry is always by Melissa’s side. “She’s the one who knows exactly how I’m feeling, whether I’m having
The Ladera Ranch News
Melissa Hudson and her guide dog Camry a good or bad day, she just knows. I wouldn’t be as much of a confident traveler without her,” says Hudson. She adds, “The misconception is that guide dogs don’t love to work, she doesn’t want to stay in! She wants to be out and about, and I give her that opportunity.” From navigating through the chaotic streets of Los Angeles to dodging skateboarders, Camry and Melissa tackle each new obstacle like professionals. Together, the two are ready to conquer the world.

The struggle at the dinner table between parents and their picky eaters isn’t uncommon. Add in a food jag, when children fixate on a particular food and don’t want to eat anything else, and the struggle turns to worry - “Is my child getting enough nutrients in his or her diet?” While many parents worry that their children aren’t getting the right nutrients for proper overall growth, many also overlook the specific need of vitamins and nutrients for eye health. If their child’s vision is OK, then there’s no cause for worry. In fact, only 14 percent of parents are worried about their children developing vision problems in the future, according to a recent survey by Kelton/DSM Nutritional Products. Now’s the time to help children make food choices that are healthy
and provide the right nutrients for their eye health. While carrots are a no-brainer when it comes to providing beta carotene (pro vitamin A) for healthy vision, a slew of other nutrients are necessary for eye health, including vitamin E, lutein, zeaxanthin and the omega-3s DHA and EPA. If you have a picky eater, try sneaking in foods that are rich in these eye-healthy nutrients. Dark leafy green vegetables (kale, spinach, collards and turnip greens), eggs, broccoli, peas and corn are super stars when it comes to providing lutein and zeaxanthin. Fatty fish provide the omega-3s DHA and EPA. Oils, wheat germ and peanuts are loaded with vitamin E. Registered dietitian and author, Elizabeth Somer, provides ideas on
how to sprinkle in these nutrients into everyday meals. Idea 1: Whip steamed chard or spinach into mashed potatoes to make a healthy and eye-catching dish for your kids that is rich in lutein and zeaxanthin. Green mashed potatoes, anyone? Idea 2: Grate carrots and add them to pasta sauce to give it a boost of beta carotene. Idea 3: Barring any nut allergies, blend peanut butter, wheat germ and a bit of honey to use as a fruit dip or sandwich spread. The peanuts and wheat germ add a kick of vitamin E. Idea 4: If your kids won’t eat fish to get their fill of omega-3s, look for foods, beverages and supplements fortified with fish oil or a vegetarian source of DHA from algae. - (BPT)

Pets and Social Media Animals garner increased online attention From dogs and cats filling up social media feeds – some even with their own profiles – to true pet celebrities who command the attention of millions, animals have become a major part of the digital landscape. With this in mind, Mars Petcare conducted a survey to learn more about people’s social media habits when it comes to animals. Here are some of the top findings. All Animals, All the Time About 65 percent of pet owners post about their furry friends on social media an average of two times per week. One in six said they’ve created a social media profile specifically for their pet – and half of those pet owners say their pets get more social attention than they do online. One third said they post about their pets as much, and as often, as they do about their human family and 13 percent admitted to posting about their pets even more than they do their human relatives. Pet Love Trumps Personal Vanity More than half of pet owners polled care more about getting “likes” and/or comments for their petrelated posts than they do for most other topics, including changes to their own profile picture. Whichever way you throw the ball, pet posts matter most. Call Them the “Paw-Purratzi” Thirty percent of pet owners follow famous animals on social media. The bottom line is people love pets, whether it’s their own or one with real rock star status, and love sharing their stories with the world. The survey underscores what was already known: Pets have become an integral part of people’s lives and pop culture.

GOLD STAR MOTHERS HONORED BY ELKS
By: Andy Costello Publicity Photos by: Mike Klinger & Assist Shelly Blair An impressive display of two armored reconnaissance vehicles of 1st Battalion Marines greeted guests as they arrived at the Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge for a luncheon honoring Gold Star Mothers and families. David Perry, Elks National Veterans Service Member of the Orange Coast District was event chairman and master of ceremonies. Perry welcomed the one hundred forty (140) members and guests in attendance. Marines from Camp Pendleton 1st Battalion 5th Marines presented the Colors. Elks Lodge President Dave McLeod led the Pledge of Allegiance, and Lodge Chaplain Greg Morgan gave the invocation. The program began with the National Anthem sung by Melissa McKenzie. Nineteen (19) Medals of Valor were presented to the families of the fallen heroes by Veteran members of the Elks Lodge. Major Lance Day United States Marine Corps Executive Officer of 1st Battalion 5th Marines was the keynote speaker for the event. Major Day praised the Elks for their commitment to the military and to the families of those made the ultimate sacrifice. He spoke of the drive and passion to become a warrior that is inside every person who decides to join the military. Day said that every veteran in the room, everyone in his current Battalion, and every upcoming warrior has the same desire to defend our country and is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. It doesn’t matter what war they fought in, all have that common goal. He also thanked the Gold Star Mother organization for being a support group throughout the country for mothers and families. After Major Day spoke, another significant event,
Marine Major Lance Day and Event Chairman Dave Perry with Gold Star Mothers and wives not on the program, took place when the Gold Star Mothers all dressed in white took the floor and presented every Vietnam Veteran in the room with a special pin they had designed. Vietnam Vets silently waited in two lines to meet the Gold Star Mothers and receive their pin. It was very touching to everyone in the room. Lunch of Southwestern chicken salad followed by rice pudding was prepared by the Elks kitchen volunteers. It was served by the Sea Scouts of Mariner Ship 936. The ten young men and women were also tasked with the duty of medal bearers for the veteran escort. Music was provided by the Karaoke King Roy Southerland. Event Chairman Dave Perry thanked the Elks Charity Committee for sponsoring the event and the Elk volunteers who helped Elk Veteran of three wars Tom Spry took part in the liberation of Guam, make the afternoon a success. and Gunnery Sgt. Damasco Sultis, who fought in the invasion of Iwo Jima, with Elks Veterans Chairman David Perry.

Grocery shopping for classroom success
The season of homework and PTO meetings is here, meaning it’s time to gear up for a successful school year. A balanced eating plan helps children, and adults, to concentrate, learn and problem-solve, in and out of the classroom. When creating your back-to-school shopping lists, remember to include foods that will nourish your child’s growing brain. Plan your family’s meals ahead of time and pay close attention to the amount of protein you serve your children at breakfast. Kids should eat about 20 grams of protein before heading off to school to help avoid hunger pangs during morning classes. Breakfast is also a golden opportunity to feed your child brainboosting nutrients such as omega-3 fats and B vitamins, as well as vitamin D to help boost immunity. “One piece of advice I have for parents is to take a couple minutes to read nutrition labels while at the grocery store,” says Registered Dietitian Elizabeth Ward. “Some foods are nutritionally superior to others.- For example, I only feed my family Eggland’s Best eggs because they taste great and provide more key nutrients than ordinary eggs.” When compared to ordinary eggs, one large Eggland’s Best egg
provides twice the amount of omega3s to support brain cells and promote healthy vision, three times more vitamin B12 to aide in proper brain function and four times more vitamin D to help with calcium absorption and boost immunity. These eggs also have 25 percent less saturated fat than ordinary eggs and contain 10 percent of the daily recommended amount of protein. Berries make an ideal side dish at breakfast because they contain compounds that help shield brain cells from every day wear and tear. Whether they are fresh, dried or frozen, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries and strawberries are bursting with powerful antioxidants that can protect the brain and may enhance memory. When your student is eating nutrient-rich foods, be sure they are properly hydrating as well. Mild dehydration affects concentration and may cause headaches. Younger children need about 57 ounces of fluid daily, while pre-teens and teens need between 71 and 81 ounces. Although water is the preferred fluid source, low-fat milk and 100 percent juice count toward daily liquid needs, too. Don’t let the hustle and bustle of the impending school year get the better
of your family’s health. Planning meals ahead of time can help nourish your little Einstein’s mind and keep your family happy and healthy. Find recipe ideas for the school year, including this Eggland’s Best Brainy Burrito, at www.egglandsbest.com or www.pinterest.com/egglandsbest. Eggland’s Best Brainy Burrito Makes one burrito Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes Ingredients: 1 large Eggland’s Best egg 1 low-fat whole wheat tortilla 1 tablespoon low-fat refried beans 1/4 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons salsa 1/2 avocado, sliced Preparation: * Spray nonstick skillet with cooking spray. * Beat egg; pour into skillet and cook, stirring continually, until slightly set, about two minutes. * Add cheese. * Spread refried beans on tortilla. * Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds. * Spread egg and cheese filling down the center of the tortilla. Add salsa and sliced avocado. * Fold one side of the tortilla over filling. Fold up bottom. Roll securely. - (BPT)

TESORO DEFEATS LA HABRA IN HOME TOWN NAIL BITER
Long Ball Launch by QB Chase Petersen (7) as he deftly evades defenders Photos by Cindy Williams Story by Sandra White Summer came to an abrupt end last week as the home town crowd of Tesoro High School Titans rocked the rivets loose from their stadium seats to scream their lungs out for our popular local team. Defensive tactics well demonstrated by each of the teams who battled their way to a
frighteningly close overtime thriller at Tesoro High last week La Habra had two touchdowns to terrify the hometown crowds in the first half but both were negated by penalty calls from the referee including an illegal block. If not for the penalties the game could have quickly taken a new direction. La Habra Highlander Punt returning sensation Prince Ross rumbled 91 yards for a touchdown against
Tesoro only to have it called back for another penalty. The rest of the first half seemed equally disappointing for the Highlanders, scoring just three first down possessions and racking up only five yards in ten tries at the Titans. A familiar face from Mission Viejo was Tesoro Titan’s newest Quarterback Chase Peterson, newly transferred from Mission Viejo in his first battle for
the Titans. He hurled a TD pass to Tesoro Titan Wide Receiver Joe Morenc, looking like a seasoned starter. Petersen also dropped one into the skillful hands of Graeden Sharpe at the start of overtime who raced for first down yardage with the pigskin. The Point after touchdown by kicker Joe Rizkallah sealed the Highlanders’ fate with the game ending 14-13 for Tesoro.

Santa Margarita Eagles Overpower Loyola, 37-7
The Eagles held nothing back in their home-opener against Loyola High School
Senior quarterback Richard Wagner (12) connected on 22 of 30 passes (73%) for 397 yards and three touchdowns
By: Sean Zeitler Photos By: Robert Russell After dropping their season opener to the number two ranked team in Orange County, the Eagles (1-1) used a balanced offensive attack last Friday to defeat the visiting Loyola Cubs by a score of 37-7. Senior quarterback Richard Wagner was back to form, connecting on 22 of 30 passes (73%) for 397 yards and three touchdowns. Wagner’s favorite target on the night was none other than 6’4” 215-pound Oklahomacommit Grant Calcaterra. After a modest evening against Mission Viejo, Calcaterra showed what all the hype was about, hauling in 14 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns including a long of 83 yards. The 2016 Eagles are making their mark on the record books, as Calcaterra’s three touchdown night tied a school record for most touchdowns in a game with some of the most renowned names in Santa Margarita Football lore. Calcaterra is now tied with John Minardi ’98 (five times), Brad Finneran ’94, Mike O’Gorman ’99 and Kyle Sweet ’15 for three touchdowns in a game. Wagner’s second favorite target in the passing game was junior Chad Magyar who had three catches of his own for 57 yards respectively. The passing game was set up cordially by 211 total rushing yards thanks to senior running back Trey Green and Magyar. Green would go on to finish his night with 18 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown, courtesy of a 26 yard scamper on his ninth carry of the evening. Magyar had a breakthrough night for himself, finishing just shy of the century mark,
tallying 99 yards on 12 carries. When all was said and done offensively, four Eagles eclipsed the century mark for total yards, with Wagner’s 402 yards (397 pass, 5 rush), Calcaterra’s 292 yards (all receiving), Magyar’s 156 yards (99 rush, 57 receiving), and Green’s 107 (all rushing) yards. Defensively, the Eagles were led by the heart and soul of the defense, middle linebacker Caden Fitch. Fitch was the only Eagle with double digit tackles (12) and was credited with 1.5 sacks. Fitch is now leading the Eagle defense in averaging 11 tackles and 0.8 sacks per game. Three other Eagles got in on sacks as well, including Sean Toohey (1.0), David Chen (1.5), and Malik McClain (1.0). The Eagle secondary had a big night, holding Loyola quarterback Sean O’Malley to only six of 16 (38%) for 96 yards and two interceptions. One-third of O’Malley’s passes were actually made by the Eagles, with two interceptions going to seniors Brennan Gibbons and Darian Fernandez, who brought them back for 42 and 36 yards each. The Eagles (1-1) will travel tonight to Alemany High School (1-1) to take on the host Warriors. Alemany is coming off a devastating overtime loss to a familiar foe, having lost to JSerra last week by a score of 2827. Alemany is averaging 34.5 points per game and 399 total yards (202 rush, 197 pass). The Eagles are now averaging 29 points per game and 405 total yards (124.5 rush, 280.5 pass). Kickoff is set for 7:00pm and the game will be streaming live on the NFHS Newtwork (http://www. nfhsnetwork.com/).

4 Tips for Staying Ahead of the Elements
Whether an outdoor concertgoer, sports fan or avid vacationer, Mother Nature can be harsh on your eyes, skin and hair regardless of the season. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect and rejuvenate your features so you can enjoy your favorite outdoor activities all year long. Be prepared for whatever the elements throw at you, and learn how to counteract weather-related wear and tear, with these smart self-care tips. Get From There to Hair Keep your hairdo healthy, rain or shine, by properly maintaining it with the right products at home. A regular hair-care routine that matches the unique needs of your hair will help ensure it is in peak condition to face any weather-related distress. Specialized shampoos, conditioners and hair styling products can lend a boost of hydration, calm frizzy strands or help control excess oil. When you venture out, take precautions such as tying long hair back or braiding it to prevent tangles. In addition, a hat can help tame your locks in case of
rain, snow or wind. Keep a Clear Eye on Weather Your eyes are particularly sensitive to changes in weather, and whether you’re dealing with irritated eyes at a summer cookout, itchy eyes during spring pollen season or dry eyes during the cold winter months, you need an eye care solution you can depend on. ROHTO Ice All-in-One Cooling eye drops contain a mix of fast-acting and highly effective ingredients that provide fast cooling relief for eight symptoms.
“People want a multi-symptom eye care solution that is as on-the-go as they are,” said Erick Estrada, director of marketing for the ROHTO brand, the No. 1 over-the-counter global eye drop brand. “ROHTO Ice All-in-One Cooling eye drops are a quick fix for anything Mother Nature throws your way.” Soothe and Smooth Your Skin Whether it’s hot summer sun or dry winter air, keeping your skin smooth requires special care and attention. Although it’s more likely
you’ll remember the sunblock when temps are blazing, you need plenty of sunblock during the winter months, too, especially if your activities involve highly reflective surfaces, such as snow. Avoid dry, scaly skin by regularly exfoliating and applying lotion just after you step out of the shower when pores are open and more readily soak up the moisture. Treat Your Feet Plan the proper footwear to protect your feet, whether that’s a trek through the woods, a trip along the beach or trudging through the snow. Adequate arch support and an overall good fit will help ensure your feet don’t take any harder hits than necessary. On the beach, opt for shoes that will transition well from walkways to sand to water. When a fuller coverage shoe or hiking boot is more the ticket, don’t overlook the importance of adding high-quality socks, which cannot only add cushion but also help wick away moisture.

Civic Council Needs Four New Members
Civic Council Needs Four New Members
By: Tamara Bryant, Staff Reporter Ladera Ranch News CIVIC COUNCIL OVERVIEW Ladera Ranch residents were wondering aloud, “Who’s in charge here?” when discussions arise about the current 2015-2016 Ladera Ranch Civic Council. Last month’s surprising announcement by Chairman Scott Weisgerber that he would not seek another term brings the total to four council members who have now headed for the exits. Two members, Andrew Bereczky and Emilie Blum, ended their terms early for unstated personal reasons. Jeff Hamilton, who has served on the Civic Council for eight years and was up for reelection, has repeatedly declined requests for interviews by the Ladera Ranch News and has recently indicated that he has decided not to seek another two-year term. Now with the sudden departure of Chairman Scott Weisgerber, it appears that will leave only three remaining board members including Gary Kephart, Jett McCormick, and Todd Stearns. Only two additional candidates have apparently applied to be considered for the now four available seats on the board. Ladera Ranch residents 18 and above who have lived in the community at least six months and have a desire to help our community grow at the local level are urged to throw their hats into the ring for
the fall elections. The Civic Council Chairman says it is “100% volunteer run and 100% passion driven.” Since Ladera Ranch is not an incorporated city, The Ladera Ranch Civic Council is an elected seven-member board of volunteers that serves a two-year term, provides input to organizations that have jurisdiction by advocating on a number of issues that may affect the financial, police and public safety, governance, land use, and life quality of the residents in the unincorporated county area of Ladera Ranch. THE LADERA RANCH CIVIC COUNCIL URGES CANDIDATES TO APPLY The current board says it is encouraging interested members of the community to take part in the annual elections in which four seats are now available. Candidate applications can be downloaded at http://lrciviccouncil.org/ and submitted to communications@lrciviccouncil. org. LADERA RANCH CIVIC COUNCIL ELECTIONS TIMELINE The council has received two candidate statements and posted them for review at lrciviccouncil.org. Voting begins Friday, September 9th and ends Friday, September 16th. Monday, September 19th, is the regularly scheduled Council meeting that takes place from 7:00pm to 8:30pm at the Santa Margarita Water
