LOCAL DENTIST MICHAEL TESSIER REVEALS WAYS SECRET TO SAVING YOUR TEETH Each one of your teeth is anchored in a socket in the bone. Each tooth is suspended or anchored in its own socket by ligaments. The gum tissue attaches to the tooth at the top of the socket. If one gets food or plaque stuck between or around the teeth, the gums can become sore and inflamed, bleeding by just the touch of a toothbrush. Just like getting a sliver stuck underneath a fingernail. This inflammation can cause that attachment of the gums to the tooth to deteriorate. This deterioration starts at the gum-line, in the form of a pocket. As that pocket deepens, it will extend into and erode the bone. Eventually, the boney support for the tooth will be gone, and the tooth will fall out. When we dentists or dental hygienists discover this condition, we can perform what is called a laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP) to reattach gums to the tooth. This laser kills the bacteria that exists in the bone, allowing the bone to regenerate. It also creates access for the hygienist to deep clean those pockets, scraping the calculus off the sides of the tooth way below the gum-line. Sometimes we place an antibiotic deep into that pocket, furthering eradication of bacteria. The procedure allows the gum tissue to reattach to the tooth. Before the development of our new laser, the periodontal treatment was painful or uncomfortable, involving scalpels, scraping the gums off the underlying . Our new laser technique is much less invasive, and your recovery is now almost totally painless (hard-to-believe, but true). While many of my patients call me the pain-free dentist, I’m happy to be of help in helping you to save your precious teeth and at the same time making your dental experience a comfortable one.

Like many American holidays, Memorial Day is often just another day off for workers and their families. To add meaning to the holiday, its helpful to learn about its history and customs. Stories abound on the origins of Memorial Day, but a few are more popular and credible. Records indicate that after the Civil War, groups of women in both the North and South visited gravesites, adorning soldier’s graves with flowers. Whatever stories are true, the main focus is always the same, to honor those lost in service to our country. The first official Memorial Day was held on May 30, 1868, organized by General John Logan. (The date was chosen because it was not an anniversary date of a battle.) To honor the fallen soldiers of the Civil War, flowers were placed on Union and Confederate graves in Arlington National Cemetery. New York was the first state to officially recognize the holiday in 1873. In 1971, Congress enacted the National Holiday Act, and the observance of Memorial Day was changed from May 30 to the last Monday in May of each year. Many credit this change of date to the decline of this day of remem-
brance, as people focused on the three day weekend instead of the original meaning of the holiday. In 1915, Moina Michael penned a poem (“We Shall Keep the Faith”) honoring the fallen soldiers remembered on Memorial Day: And now the Torch and Poppy red We wear in honour of our dead. Fear not that ye have died for naught; We’ll teach the lesson that ye wrought In Flanders Fields. She is credited with the idea of wearing poppies on Memorial Day, a tradition we see even today as veterans sell miniature poppy flowers across the country. Congress passed a resolution in 2000 to help Americans remember the true meaning of the
holiday. This “National Moment of Remembrance” urges Americans at 3:00pm (their local time) on Memorial Day to remember those who have lost their lives in military service to their country. To d a y, m a n y c o m m u n i t i e s celebrate the observance of this holiday by organization parades a n d o ff i c i a l c e r e m o n i e s t h a t honor those that have fallen. Americans also honor soldiers by visiting cemeteries and national monuments and other memorials by placing flowers and flags on graves. Others honor the fallen by flying their flags half-staff until noon on Memorial Day. Not just a long three day weekend, Memorial Day is a time to remember those who have died in our country’s military service.
“And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. ~Lee Greenwood The Ladera Ranch News

Memorial Day Weekend Marks the Start of the Camping Season on the San Bernardino National Forest Camping in national forests can be a year-round endeavor, but for many people Memorial Day weekend is the deadline to air out the tents, dust off the hiking boots and load up on the makings for s ‘mores. Kids are out of school, or nearly so, and the days are warmer and longer. It is a perfect time to start reintroducing yourself to the fun and excitement and the calm and peacefulness national forests and grasslands have to offer. Most of the recreation sites on the San Bernardino National Forest will be open for forest visitors by Memorial Day weekend. “The forest is ready for the 2012 summer recreation season,” said Forest Supervisor Jody Noiron. “We encourage people to enjoy the outdoors while camping, hiking, mountain biking, fishing or a variety of other recreational activities on our forest.” As always, forest officials encourage visitors to be aware of their surroundings and responsibilities when visiting the forest. “We want to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable visit while always remaining aware of the current situation outdoors and the potential for wildfire and wildlife, and call ahead to check the status of places you plan to visit” said Supervisor Noiron.
“Know Before You Go” Campfires Campfires are only permitted at developed sites in the designated fire rings in campgrounds, picnic grounds and Yellow Post Sites. Outside of developed sites, only propane or gas cooking stoves are permitted. Always call ahead to check on the current fire restrictions. Campgrounds Campgrounds are popular for threeday weekend getaways, so reserving early is sometimes key, so you need to plan. Campground reservations can be made online through Reserve USA at:www.recreation.gov or by calling toll free 1-877-444-6777. Recreation Use Fees The Forest Adventure Pass must be displayed on a visitor’s parked vehicle when recreating in Standard Amenity Fee Areas and certain developed sites like campgrounds and picnic areas.

How to Commemorate Memorial Day By Patti Winters The United States has a rich history, and Memorial Day is one of the holidays originated to show our respect for those who have died for it and the many freedoms we enjoy on a daily basis. Memorial Day (originally called Decoration Day) was officially proclaimed in 1868 by General John Logan, and first observed on May 30, 1868 by placing flowers on graves of Civil War soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. Since 1971, Memorial Day has been celebrated on the last Monday of May, to allow for a three day Memorial Day Weekend. Discuss American history with your family. We get so busy with our day to day lives that we often forget to slow down and really think about the reason our national holidays were started. It is important to discuss the pride we have in our country and how we appreciate those that came before us, especially with our children. Buy a poppy from the VFW. Beginning in 1922 the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) took a Dutch and French tradition and began to sell poppies nationally, to raise money for veterans in need. Today these poppies are made my disabled veterans and sold each Memorial Day Weekend. Participate in the “National Moment of Remembrance”, which was started in 2000. This is a resolution asks American citizens to stop anything they may be doing at 3 p.m. local time, and observe a moment of silence.
R
Show respect for fallen war veterans. Visit cemeteries or war memorials to show your respect. Lay flowers or place flags as a remembrance to what the war veteran has given for his or her country. Many cemeteries have fallen war veterans whose family no longer lives close by. You can “adopt” these grave sites to show that their service has not been forgotten.

PHYSICIAN REFERRAL COMPANY SUPPORTS PEOPLE IN TRANSITION
Gary Calvaneso, Mary Baker, Sandra McElwee, Miriam Kang, Linda Matulis
When your primary care physician tells you that you need to see a specialist, most patients assume their doctor will refer them to a quality physician. After all, anyone who is going to treat you should be board-certified, well versed in the latest techniques and have an impressive record of successes with other patients; right? Well it may come as a surprise that the referral system doesn’t actually work that way. Most people assume their primary care doctor has a rolodex of top notch specialists to pass along as needed. In today’s fast paced world, primary care physicians simply don’t have the time to go out, research and meet with other specialists. With specialists operating margins falling over the past decade and health care reforms putting pressure on their bottom line, quality specialists have a need to do a better job educating referring doctors and patients about their expertise. That’s where 2 local residents, Gary Calvaneso and Sandra McElwee who met through Saddleback Church, decided there was an opportunity to work with quality specialists and educate referring primary care physicians about their skills. In early 2011, they formed a referral marketing company called The Referral Specialists (www.TheReferralSpecialists.com).
Page 16
The Referral Specialists provide practice representatives and referral marketing services to specialty physicians. Practice representatives are experienced healthcare professionals who call on primary care physicians and complementary specialists to educate them about their specialist client’s expertise. Since starting their business, their specialty physician clients have experienced positive gains as a direct result of their services. Typically these specialists triple or quadruple the number of referring physicians who refer to them and increase their bottom line. In fact, the Referral Specialists business caught the attention of the Wall Street Journal’s Smart Money magazine where they were mentioned by name. “Our business connects quality specialists with PCP’s (Primary Care Physicians) through referral marketing, said Gary Calvaneso, Managing Partner. Educating the medical community not only benefits everyone in the medical market but also produces jobs which is something that our community really needs”. Aside from achieving positive results for their clients, what makes The Referral Specialists unique is their dedication to helping those that are unemployed and need help. For Calvaneso, it is something he takes to heart.
The Ladera Ranch News
Nearly every Monday for the past 6 years, Calvaneso has been a volunteer at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, listening to and coaching unemployed people with a smile and an offer of hope. “For our practice reps, we only consider candidates that are unemployed” said Calvaneso. “We are not interested in recruiting people that already have a job and an income. We prefer to support those that do not. It is our way of giving back to the community by helping those in need which is a principle of our faith.” “You would be surprised at the high level of unemployed talent there is out there” said Sandra McElwee, Managing Partner. “One of our practice reps is a senior woman with over 25 years of pharmaceutical sales experience calling on physicians’ offices. She was out of work for over 2 years before joining up with us and has done a great job for our clients”. Not only do the Referral Specialists focus on working with unemployed candidates, but they also do the same for suppliers. “We wanted to apply our faith based principles of helping those in need to all aspects of our business, said Calvaneso”. “Even the caterer we use is trying to generate income through a home based business. What employers need to understand is that being unemployed has nothing to do with talent or quality. We carefully screen our suppliers, looking for skill and quality first. The doctors all rave about her food and she now gets additional business from them”. “We have a stay-at-home mom who makes some of the best toffee you’ll ever taste, right out of her home kitchen. Here again, our clients rave about her toffee and have provided her additional business” said Calvaneso. For his volunteerism in supporting people in transition in 2011, Calvaneso received the Orange County Spirit of Volunteerism Award as part of the leadership team managing Saddlebacks Career Coaching and Counseling program. If you are a physician with a specialty medical practice and are interested in a free consultation to learn more about how The Referral Specialists can help increase referrals from other physicians, visit their website at www. TheReferralSpecialists.com , call them 949-433-1702 or e-mail them at info@get-referred.com.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-11-482279-RM . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.
