Popular Ladera Ranch Mathnasium Here Since 2007 is a Big Hit with Schoolkids Ladera Ranch Owners Say Kids Love “When Math Makes Sense” “We are really delighted with the wonderful response from our clients at Ladera Ranch Mathnasium”, says Lisa Anderson, one of the owners of Mathnasium of Ladera Ranch. Lisa is also the Center Director. Lisa and her husband Paul and bought the Mathnasium of Ladera Ranch Franchise from the previous owner who Lisa worked for the last 5 years as the Director of Education for Ladera Ranch and three other south Orange county Mathnasium centers as well. When reporters from the Ladera Ranch news asked them how long they have been in their current location, Lisa said.” Mathnasium of Ladera Ranch has been in this location since June 2007. We’ve owned it since May 2015.We have been renovating and giving the center an overall sprucing up for the last few months. We’ve invited everyone in Ladera Ranch, and the surrounding communities of Mission Viejo, Wagon Wheel, and Las Flores to come see all the fabulous new changes! What is your specialty? the reporters asked. Mathnasium is a math only learning center. We help kids in grades 1-12 understand math by teaching the way that makes sense to them. Our specially trained math instructors teach children how to understand math in an individual setting. Our unique approach enables us to effectively explain math concepts well and lend a helping hand to every student. Our tutors foster a caring, encouraging environment that helps kids thrive and learn,” Lisa said. How do you determine what each individual student needs? “We start with a unique assessment process to determine with great accuracy exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn,” She said. “Next, we design a customized learning plan for teaching the concepts the student needs to master. It doesn’t stop there; our encouraging instructors continually check progress along the way to make sure kids truly understand and retain the concepts we’ve taught,” she says with a smile. What about the students who may be struggling with math homework? “Our instructors also provide homework help, helping kids understand their individual homework assignment and usually they are able to complete their homework right here at the center, and have it thoroughly checked and corrected, so they return to school the next day with their heads head high and full of confidence. It’s truly a pleasure to see this kind of results, especially with students who thought they were going to have to struggle with math, “says Lisa. We also offer Private Sessions for students in High School Level Math. Page 2

TWO NEW MUSICIANS JOIN ORCHESTRA ROSTER FOR 2015-16 SEASON: VIOLINIST CHLOE CHIU AND VIOLIST VICTOR DE ALMEIDA
Chloe Chiu Pacific Symphony announces the addition of two accomplished string players to the orchestra for the 201516 season: Chloe Chiu is the newest member of the second violin section and Victor de Almeida joins the viola section. Chiu is currently a violinist with the Santa Barbara Symphony and is on full scholarship pursuing a graduate program certificate, studying with Glenn Dicterow at USC’s Thornton School of Music
(where the Symphony’s Music Director Carl St.Clair leads the orchestra program). De Almeida is a graduate of the Peabody Institute of Music with a bachelor of music and graduate performance diploma. He is married to Pacific Symphony violist, Carolyn Riley, and is the son of Pacific Symphony cellist Waldemar de Almeida. He is also a member of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and the Pageant of the Masters Orchestra. Born in Taiwan, Chiu is a compelling violinist who first picked up the violin at age 8 and started captivating audiences at the tender age of 9. She has performed intercontinentally throughout Australia, Europe (Austria, Bulgaria and Italy), Asia (Singapore and Taiwan) and the Middle East (Israel). As a frequent prizewinner in Taiwan, as well as internationally, Chiu has reveled in success at several competitions, achieving a multitude of prestigious awards. She holds the first prizes at the Taoyuan Competition, Tainan Music Competition, Hsing Tian Kong Music Competition and Taipei Music
Competition (all in Taiwan). In 2010, she was laureate in the Canetti International Violin Competition in Israel, and she was the grand finalist in the Andrea Postacchini International Violin Competition in Italy. Chiu received her professional education with full scholarships at the University of Singapore, Peabody Institute and the University of Southern California. She has studied with many esteemed musicians including Glenn Dicterow, Bing Wang, Victor Danchenko and Qian Zhou. Chiu currently serves as sectional violinist of Santa Barbara Symphony. A double prizewinner at the 2008 Primrose International Viola Competition, de Almeida has been principal violist of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, associate principal violist of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and the principal violist of the Annapolis Symphony. In addition to his numerous solo and chamber music performances around Southern California and abroad, de Almeida records soundtracks for several television shows and motion pictures. He was born into a Brazilian-
Victor de Almeida American musical family in Adelaide, Australia, where his parents were the principal and assistant principal cellists of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Almeida is an arranger and avid collector of viola music and takes pride in performing rare works, his own transcriptions and collaborating with living composers on works dedicated to him.

THE M O V E M B ER F OUNDATION IN V ITES Y OU TO GROW, GI V E OR M O V E The moustache is back and better than ever with the launch of the Movember Foundation’s 2015 Movember campaign! As one of the largest global charities investing in programs to address prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity, the Movember Foundation is the leader in men’s health. Today, the Foundation debuted a new way for men and women to participate in the movement – MOVE. During the month of Movember, the Foundation will still challenge men to grow a moustache and women to support the campaign but now both men and women can choose to be champions of men’s health starting with their own through MOVE! MOVE is the Movember Foundation’s 30-day fitness challenge inviting participants to be more active while raising funds and awareness for men’s health. Starting today, men and women are encouraged to become an official participant of Movember by signing up at Movember.com and committing to grow a moustache, MOVE, or take things to the next level by doing both! “We are excited to bring back the moustache in 2015 and introduce MOVE, a new way for men and women to participate in the Movember campaign, raise funds and continue the dialogue about men’s health. Now more than ever we need to increase awareness of the state of men’s health. Too many men don’t talk, don’t take action and die too young,” said Mark Hedstrom, U.S. Country Director at the Movember Foundation. “The Movember Foundation’s aim is to not only start conversations about testicular and prostate cancer, poor mental health and physical wellbeing but encourage men worldwide to prioritize their health.” Simply put, men are dying too young and the statistics continue to be sobering: • Poor Mental Health: Every day 87 men commit suicide1 in the United States translating to 31,755 deaths each year, almost the capacity of a college football stadium. Additionally, each year, 1 in 4 adults will experience
a diagnosable mental health problem. • Prostate Cancer: In the U.S. a man dies every 19.1 minutes from prostate cancer and a new case occurs every 2.4 minute. In 2015, an estimated 220,800 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, which has become the second most common cancer for men in the U.S. • Testicular Cancer: While there is a 95% cure rate for testicular cancer, for 1 in 20 it’s still a death sentence. That is too many. Furthermore, the incidence of men diagnosed with testicular cancer has doubled over past 50 years and this year an estimate of 8,430 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed. • Physical Inactivity: More than one-third of American men over age 20 are obese. Physical inactivity is also fourth leading risk factor for global mortality. Through the month-long Movember campaign, men and women spark conversations and raise critical funds that support breakthrough men’s health programs throughout the globe. While the Movember Foundation has raised more than $650 million dollars globally and funded 1,000 programs, the charity knows that to help men live happier, healthier and longer lives, one must consider the holistic person, which means addressing both physical and mental health issues. Though year-round efforts and programs, the Movember Foundation is tackling each of these issues to bring about real, tangible change. The Foundation is one of the largest nongovernmental investors in research and quality of life initiatives in the world. To learn more about the men’s health programs the Movember Foundation is funding visit us.movember.com/ report-cards. Supporters can help make a difference by signing up to grow, give or MOVE at Movember.com. Once registered, participants become part of the global movement and can utilize their personalized fundraising page to get friends, family, and colleagues to donate to their efforts.
Just by participating, millions of men and women will be helping to save lives. Connect with Movember on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, flickr, and Pinterest. To follow the campaign on social media, use the hashtags #Movember and #MOVE4Movember. About the Movember Foundation The Movember Foundation is a global charity raising funds and awareness for men’s health. These funds deliver breakthrough research and support services to allow men to live longer, healthier, happier lives. Since 2003, millions have joined the men’s health movement, raising more than $650 million and funding over 1,000 programs through impact investments, focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity. The Foundation runs awareness and fundraising activities yearround, with the annual Movember campaign in November being globally recognized for its fun and innovative approach to raising money and getting men to take action for their health. During Movember, we challenge men to grow a moustache or to make a commitment to get active and MOVE, both of which are about real action for health and are done to spark conversation and raise vital funds and awareness. The Foundation’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on men’s health. Movember is fully accredited by the Better Business Bureau, and for the past three years, has been named a Top 100 best NGO by The Global Journal. For more information please visit Movember.com.

ladera ranch gets ready for El Niño storms 1. CREATE AN EMERGENCY FAMILY PLAN 2. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN (RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL) 3. PREPARE A DISASTER SUPPLY KIT 4. SANDBAG CONSTRUCTION 5. SANDBAG SUPPLIERS 6. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FEDERAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE AND FEDERAL FLOOD INSURANCE 7. IF AN EVACUATION IS ADVISED Discuss what to do about power outages and personal injuries. Draw a floor plan of your home, and mark an escape route from each room. Locate the main electric fuse box, water service main, and natural gas main. Learn how and when to turn these utilities off. Teach all responsible family members. Keep necessary tools near gas and water shut-off valves. Remember, turn off the utilities only if you suspect the lines are damaged or if you are instructed to do so. If you turn the gas off, you will need a professional to turn it back on. Pick one out-of-state and one local friend or reative for family members to call if separated by disaster (it is often easier to call out-of-state than within the affected area). • Post emergency telephone numbers near telephones. • Teach children how and when to call 911, police and fire. • Teach children how to make long distance telephone calls. • Instruct household members to turn on the radio for emergency information. Pick two meeting places: • A place near your home in case of a fire. • A place in your neighborhood in case you cannot return home, • Learn the safest route from your home or job to high, safe ground in case you have to evacuate in a hurry, and be sure to keep your gas tank full!! • Take a basic first aid and CPR class. • Make at itemize list of personal property, including furnishings, clothing and valuables; photograph your home inside and out, which will help settle insurance claims. Keep photos in a safe deposit box. FOR MORE INFORMATION The federal Emergency Management Agency offers free publications on protecting your home and assembling and emergency kit, 1-800-638-6620. El Niño information is available on the agency’s web site: http://www.fema.gov RESIDENTIAL Losses due to flooding can often be cut dramatically by carrying out an effective pre- planned set of actions. The emergency plan may consist primarily of a checklist of things to be done and a little pre-thinki ng about where contents will be moved, who’s going to help, where things will be stored and so on. Among others, items on the emergency “to do “ list might include: • Moving items to be left in the structure to an upper floor or stacked
on top of each other to put at least some furniture above flood level. • Throwing curtains and drapes up over rods. • Pulling up and removing carpets and rugs. • Motors to be removed from furnace and other equipment located in the low levels of the house. • Unplug equipment that can’t be moved. • Assemble medicine, heirlooms, valuables and other items to be for taking during evacuation. COMMERCIAL Commercial and industrial sites offer the opportunity and need for more detailed planning and sometimes new construction or other preparations to facilitate putting the plan into action when necessary. This may include such things as: • Preparing electrical equipment for quick disconnect. • Preparing equipment for quick evacuation. • Keeping raw materials and products on pallets for quick removal. • Providing means for opening all necessary doors manually in the event of a power outage. Arranging for transportation when needed. • Arranging for storage space when needed. • Keeping on hand all items needed for rapid cleanup and restoration of production. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PREPARE A DISASTER SUPPLY KIT • List of important phone numbers (family, physicians, etc.) • Copy of insurance policy. • Credit cards and cash. • An extra set of car keys. • Inexpensive rabbit-ears television antennas to use when cable goes out. • Special items for infants, elderly or disabled family members. • Extra batteries. • Matches. • Clock (wind-up or batteryoperated). • Blankets or sleeping bags. • Scissors. • Plastic garbage bags. • Map of the area. • Clean change of clothes & rain gear. • A supply of non-perishable packaged or canned food and a non-electric can opener. • A first aid kit and prescription medications. • Flashlights and extra bulbs. • Battery-operated lanterns. (Candles and kerosene lanterns are fire hazards.) • Working fire extinguishers . • Battery-operated radio. • Assemble supplies you might need in an evacuation. Store them in an easy-to-carry container such as a backpack or duffel bag. Put aside in a special box in garage. Keep heat-sensitive items inside home and rotate stock throughout season. Batteries can go in refrigerator. WATER Having an ample supply of clean water is a top priority in an emergency. A normally active person needs to drink at least two quarts of water each day, hot environments can
double that amount. Children, nursing mothers and ill people will need even more. You will also need water for food preparation and hygiene. Store a total of at least one-gallon per person, per day. You should store at least a two-week supply of water for each member of our family. If supplies run low, never ration water. Drink the amount you need today, and try to find more for tomorrow. You can minimize the amount of water your body needs by reducing activity and staying cool. Store water in sealed, unbreakable containers. Identify the storage date and replace every six months Sandbags The use of sandbags is a simple, but effective, way to prevent or reduce floodwater damage. Properly filled and placed, sandbags can act as a barrier to divert moving water around instead of through buildings. Sandbag construction does not guarantee a watertight seal, but is satisfactory for use in most situations. Sandbags are also used successfully to prevent overtopping of levied streams and for training current flow to specific areas. Untied sandbags are recommended for most situations. Tied sandbags should only be used for special situations when pre-filling and stockpiling may be required for specific purposes such as filling holes, holding objects in position or to form barriers backedby supportive planks. Tied sandbags are generally easier to handle and to stockpile, however sandbag filling operations can generally best be accomplished at or near the placement site and tying of bags would waste valuable time and effort. If the bags are pre-filled at a distant location, due consideration must be given to transportation vehicles and placement site access. The most commonly use bags are untreated burlap sacks available from feed or hardware stores. Empty bags can be stockpiled for emergency use and will be serviceable for several years if properly stored. Filled bags of earth material will deteriorate quickly. A heavy bodied or sandy soil is most desirable for filling sandbags, but any usable material at or near the site has definite advantages. Course sand could leak out through the weave of the bag (to prevent this double bag the material). Gravely or rocky soils are generally poor
choices because of their permeability characteristics. Sandbag barriers can easily be constructed by two people, as most individuals have the physical capabilities to carry or drag a sandbag weighing approximately 30 pounds the use of sandbags is a simple, but effective, way to prevent or reduce floodwater damage. Properly filled and placed, sandbags can act as a barrier to divert moving water around instead of through buildings. Sandbag construction does not guarantee a watertight seal, but is satisfactory for use in most situations. Sandbags are also used successfully to prevent overtopping of levied streams and for training current flow to specific areas. HOW TO FILL A SANDBAG Filling sandbags is a two-person operation: One member of the team should place the empty bag between or slightly in front of widespread feet with arms extended. The throat of the bag is folded to form a collar and held with the hands in a position that will enable the other team member to empty a rounded shovel full of material into the open end. The person holding the sack should be standing with knees slightly flexed and head and face as far away from the action of the shovel as practical. The shoveler should carefully release the rounded shovel full of soil into the throat of the bag. Haste in this operation can result in undue spillage and added work. The use of safety goggles and gloves is desirable and sometimes necessary. For large-scale operations, filling sandbags can be expedited by using bag holding racks, metal funnels, and power loading equipment. However, the special equipment required is not always available during an emergency. Bags should not be filled more than half full or less than onethird their capacity. PLACEMENT Remove any debris from the area where bags are to be placed. Place the l/2-filled bags lengthwise and parallel to the direction of flow. Fold the open end of the unfilled portion of the bag to form a triangle. (If bed bags are used, flatten or fire the tied end.) Place succeeding bags on the folded or fired portion of the previous bag and stamp into place to eliminate voids and form a tight seal.

Rep. Mimi Walters Military Service Academy Night in Review
Rep. Mimi Walters Rep. Mimi Walters (CA-45) recently hosted a Military Service Academy Night at the Arnold O. Beckman High School Auditorium in Irvine, CA. The event had over 150 attendees and served as an opportunity for high school students interested in applying to one of the five Military Service Academies to learn more about the application and nomination process. Presentations were made by representatives from all five Military Service Academies: the United States Naval Academy, the United States Military Academy at West Point, the United States Air Force Academy, the United States Coast Guard Academy, and the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Representatives and members of Rep. Walters staff were there to assist with questions regarding
the application process. Currently, Rep. Walters’ office has received over 45 applications, consisting of students from 10 different cities and 18 different high schools. Said Rep. Mimi Walters, “As the daughter of a U.S. Marine, I am honored and privileged for the opportunity to nominate up to ten individuals for each vacant academy slot allotted to our district. Attending one of our nation’s service academies is an exceptional honor, reserved for our nation’s brightest and most talented students who exemplify the strongest leadership skills and highest character. “With this honor, comes the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation. While answering this noble call comes with much sacrifice, it also represents the beginning of a long and gratifying career of civil service and patriotism.” Rep. Walters office is planning on hosting an additional Military Service Academy Night in the Spring of 2016. In the meantime, the office is available to help answer any questions regarding the academy appointment process. For more information, individuals may contact Rep. Walters’ office at (949) 263-8703 or visit Rep. Walters’ website to view frequently asked questions.

Stressed by social obligations? Tips for an easier holiday season The holiday season is filled with gatherings of friends and family. As invitations to different holiday events begin to flood your calendar, one of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to attend everything. But for some, hectic schedules and public gatherings fill the holiday season with additional stress as they are combined with low self-esteem or lack of confidence, making this time of year a nightmare. If the holiday season creates worry and stress for
Page 10
you, rather than joy and excitement, consider these confidence-building tips: * Feel free to say “no.” - You don’t have to attend every party or gathering. If your stress and worries are caused by overbooking, make it a goal to only attend one event each weekend, and possibly one additional event during the week. Be sure to include any family visits or dinners in your tally. Limiting your activities will give you time to recharge and
The Ladera Ranch News
thoroughly enjoy the events you are attending. * Boost your smile. - According to a 2013 Fixodent survey conducted by Wakefield Research, 38 percent of denture wearers admit to skipping something because they feel self-conscious about their dentures. Whether you’re indulging in tasty treats, socializing or even traveling this holiday season, Fixodent provides you with strong hold and protection, helping to seal out food particles and killing odorcausing bacteria for a clean mouth and fresh breath so you don’t have to miss any of your holiday activities. Visit www. facebook.com/ Fixodent for helpful tips on keeping socially active this holiday season. * Pick the perfect holiday wear. - Sometimes much of the stress caused by the holiday season is a result of the outfit chosen for the event. For women,
high heels look great, but can quickly hurt the feet, making it uncomfortable to stand and socialize for long. Consider wearing beautiful flats or heels that have protective cushioning. Look for dresses that not only make you feel good about how you look, but are also comfortable to wear. For men, a tie presents a stylish look for a social gathering, but if wearing one feels constricting, try a distinguished look by hanging a scarf over a sport coat, instead. * Enjoy the food and drink. - Sometimes when we’re stressed, we tend to overeat or consume too much alcohol. Make a conscious effort to sample the foods and drinks provided at the family dinners and social gatherings you attend without overdoing it. One trick to help achieve this is to use a dessert/appetizer plate for entree items, so you’ll take less. This allows you to better mingle, socialize and enjoy the party, and when you go home, you’ll feel better - both physically and about yourself - giving you confidence to attend the next scheduled event on your holiday calendar. Put stress and worry on the back burner this holiday season and look forward to the social events you’ll attend this year with a smile on your face.

Girl Scouts Recognizes Six OC Leaders and Raises over $243,000 for Local Girls Photos by: Laurel Hungerford More than 300 community and business leaders came together to recognize six extraordinary local female leaders, all Girl Scout Alumnae, and raise over $243,000 for Girl Scouts of Orange County at its Sixth Annual Celebrate Leadership event at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach. Each honoree was matched with a current Orange County Girl Scout, pairing the female leaders of tomorrow with current leaders. The Girl Scouts each created and presented a unique art canvas to her honoree, illustrating the woman’s leadership characteristics. The Girl Scouts, ranging in age from six to 16, also shared how these leaders inspire them to achieve greatness. Guests sipped on “Orange Juliette” cocktails prepared with vodka, elderflower liqueur, orange juice and grenadine in a martini glass rimmed with raw sugar, named in honor of Girl Scouts’ founder Juliette Gordon Low, who was born on October 31. During the reception, guests browsed more than 100 silent auction items, including David Yurman and John Hardy jewelry, St. John’s and Tory Burch handbags, exotic car racing and Angels and Kings sports packages. Bidding was lively during the event’s live auction, which featured a personal golf tournament for 12 at Shady Canyon Golf Club, an Oregon Getaway and Wine Tasting in the Willamette Valley, a Catered Wine Tasting and Party for 20, and more. Guests went home with boxes of Thin Mints and a beautiful 2016 Girl Scouts Keepsake Calendar, featuring stunning photographs of the honorees with their partner Girl Scouts. An outstanding event committee chaired by Donna Giordano, President of Ralphs Grocery Company, and Shannon Kennedy, Regional President for BNY Mellon Wealth Management, helped make the event a tremendous success. 2015 Celebrate Leadership Honorees are: Jacqueline Akerblom, West Region Managing Partner, Grant Thornton LLP; Corinne Burton, President, Teacher Created Materials Publishing; Tanya Domier,Tanya Domier, Chief Executive Officer, Advantage Sales & Marketing LLC; Sue GrahamSparks, Vice President Store Manager, Macy’s South Coast Plaza; Sumiko Katayama, Vice President, Treasury Relationship Manager, Commercial Banking Treasury Services, MUFG Union Bank, N.A.; and Deborah Proctor, President and Chief Executive Officer, St. Joseph Health “We are proud to recognize these exceptional women,” said Nancy Nygren, CEO of Girl Scouts of Orange County. “They represent vastly different industries and followed different paths, but they share one important attribute: all six honorees were Girl Scouts who developed vital leadership skills that contributed to their success, and all are tremendous role models for our female leaders of tomorrow,” said Nancy Nygren, CEO of Girl Scouts of Orange County. “We are grateful to these outstanding women, our generous sponsors, and everyone who attended for supporting Girl Scouts, which gives girls a safe and positive place to develop the confidence and skills to believe they can do anything.” Funds raised at the event will support Girl Scouts of Orange County’s leadership development programs for more than 21,000 Girl Scouts and to recruit, train, and support the more than 9,000 volunteers who guide and support them. The Girl Scouts of Orange County are 36,000 strong, over 21,000 girls and 15,000 adults who believe every girl can change the world. Girl Scouts began over 100 years ago with one woman, Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low, who believed` in the power of every girl. Today, they continue her vision of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place by helping them discover their inner strength, passions, and talents. With programs in every zip code in Orange County, there’s a chance for every girl to do something amazing. For more information visit www. GirlScoutsOC.org. Page 12

Take advantage of ‘National Adopt a Senior Pet Month’ With November designated as “National Adopt a Senior Pet Month,” the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center is hoping folks will consider adding a loving senior pet to their family. Right now, two adorable seniors – Ellie, a 9-year-old schnauzer mix, and a 7-year-old brown tabby named Tamera – are waiting for new homes. Older pets are one of the most difficult groups of animals to find new homes for since most people want to adopt a puppy or kitten. But there
are so many benefits to adopting an older pet. For example, younger animals need more patience, energy and consistent training. Senior pets are typically calmer than puppies and kittens and generally fit right into their new homes with little adjustment. Most older animals are already housebroken and know some basic tricks. Most importantly, with an older animal, what you see is what you get. Understanding the personality of an animal is key to finding the perfect match for a family and homeless pet.

While puppies and kittens are still developing their personalities, senior pets let you know what to expect from the get-go. That’s not to say there won’t be challenges.

How to save big with last-minute vacation planning tips
Sometimes the vacation bug bites without much notice. If you find yourself craving a travel adventure in the near future, you might worry it will be too complicated or costly to plan without adequate time. But the truth is, sometimes last-minute trips offer the best opportunity to score big bargains, if you know where to find them. There’s no need to ignore your lastminute itch for travel. Try a few travel tips and planning strategies to ensure your trip is not only memorable and stress-free, but saves you cash, too. 1. Skip air travel and save at the pump Last-minute plane tickets are costly, so for spontaneous trips, consider hitting the road instead. Pack up the car, RV or motorcycle and let the road be the gateway to your next great vacation. Download an app that tracks gas prices, like gasbuddy or Gas Guru -so you can always find the best price per gallon to cut down on fuel costs. Want better fuel economy? Improve your gas mileage by up to 3.3 percent by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure, says the U.S. Department of Energy. 2. Uncover hidden gem locations Popular tourist towns with massive crowds will always cost more than
those hidden gems visited by fewer folks. Get destination inspiration on websites like www.LiveLifeLocal.com. With a focus on car, RV, boat and motorcycle travel, the site - created by Safeco Insurance - makes it easy to search for fun destinations and routes by geography, vehicle and tags. You’ll find valuable content from authors and bloggers as well as everyday users passionate about travel. 3. Be flexible and ask for discounts If you can be flexible with travel dates, you might be able to score a last-minute deal. Booking accommodations for weekdays rather than weekends will save you cash, and often there’s more availability last-minute. If you know you want to travel in the near future, call hotels and campgrounds and see if they offer discount rates for open rooms/ sites. Often rates are reduced 24 to 48 hours prior, but you need to ask. For hotels, a discounted room is better than a vacant room. For you, a fantastic deal awaits. Check out sites like Orbitz.com, Expedia.com or Booking.com. 4. Plan activities en route Getting there is half the fun when you plan stops along the way. When you’re short on time, go online to
map your route and discover unique places to stop along the road to your final destination. For example, LiveLifeLocal lets you map your route and suggests nearby activities. To help organize and plan your stops along the way, you can add your preferred activities to a “collection” on your online vacation portfolio. It’s a great way to quickly research and organize a last-minute vacation, plus it is free. Just add a title and save it for easy access, then share adventures on your favorite social media sites and make all your friends jealous. 5. Package and save When it comes to saving money,
package deals are a great way to ease a tight budget. Can you bundle activities together and purchase all your tickets for a deep discount? Does your hotel offer any freebie activities to local attractions along with a reservation? Always ask about possible discounts and packaged savings so you can get the best deals throughout your last-minute trip. Give in to the wanderlust and take that last-minute trip with confidence. Whether you’re hitting the road solo or bringing the whole family along, a few simple strategies will ensure a trip to remember without breaking the bank.
understand your flu vaccine options and get vaccinated With the 2014-2015 flu season officially here, it’s important to consider the single best way to prevent influenza (commonly known as “the flu”) - the flu vaccine. What many older adults don’t know is that the immune system weakens with age, meaning older adults are at a higher risk for flu and related complications. More than 200,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized each year from flu-related illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Adults aged 65 and older typically account for more than half (60 percent) of these hospitalizations and almost all (90 percent) flurelated deaths, the CDC reports. To help spread the word about this serious public health issue, the National Council on Aging (NCOA) has launched the second year of Flu + You, an educational program that encourages older adults and their caregivers to learn about the seriousness of the flu, the importance of annual vaccination, and vaccine options for adults 65 and older. Actor Lee Majors, best known for his iconic television role as The Six Million Dollar Man, is joining the campaign this year as a national spokesperson. “According to the CDC, the leading reason older adults do not get the flu vaccine is because they are unaware they need it,” says Majors. “I get the flu shot every year and encourage my peers to do the same. It’s a simple step you can take to help protect yourself from the flu.” The flu can make existing health conditions worse, and it is especially dangerous for people Page 14
with lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease and cancer, conditions that commonly affect older adults. Nationwide, 86 percent of adults 65 years of age and older have at least one chronic health condition and approximately 66 percent of Medicare beneficiaries have two or more chronic conditions, according to the CDC. These conditions put them at increased risk of the flu and flu-related complications, which include hospitalization and even death. “The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine as the single best way to protect yourself from the flu, yet a third of people 65 and older still don’t get vaccinated,” says Dr. Richard Birkel, NCOA senior vice president for Healthy Aging and Director of NCOA’s Self-Management Alliance. “As NCOA continues to educate older adults about the flu and the potential severity of the illness, we hope to encourage more people to help protect themselves and their loved ones by getting an annual flu shot.” There are now many types of flu vaccines, with several specifically indicated for certain age groups or immunization needs, including a higher dose flu vaccine, for adults 65 and older, that is designed specifically to address the age-related decline of the immune system. By improving the production of antibodies in older patients, the higher dose vaccine can provide a stronger immune response to the flu than traditional vaccines. Whichever vaccine option is selected, an annual flu shot is a Medicare Part B benefit. This means that the vaccine is covered with no copay for Medicare beneficiaries 65 and older.
The Ladera Ranch News
Actor Lee Majors Older adults and their caregivers can learn more about vaccine options and the importance of getting an annual flu vaccine on the Flu + You website, www.ncoa.org/Flu, which features free educational materials, a public service announcement with Majors, and more facts about the flu. Flu + You is a national public education initiative from the National Council on Aging with support from Sanofi Pasteur.

Practice makes perfect: a dress rehearsal for your turkey The holidays are approaching and before you know it, you’ll be thinking about that daunting task of cooking a turkey. This holiday season, make sure your bird impresses all the guests and relatives by conducting a dress rehearsal for your turkey. More than 88 percent of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving, according to a National Turkey Federation survey. But before doing so, why not do a dry run and prepare a turkey, or try a smaller bird like chicken, using a brining technique that is sure to be a crowd pleaser? It’s the hot new culinary trend that’s got everyone from celebrity chefs to home cooks buzzing. But even though brining may be the latest technique to sweep kitchens, it’s hardly new. Mankind has been brining since ancient times. It probably started out, hundreds of millennia ago, as a way of preserving seafood with sea salt. The technique has come a long way since, and now food lovers everywhere, in typical what’s-old-is-new-again fashion, are rediscovering the benefits of brining. Think you don’t have the tools to brine? Chef Helen Roberts, director of culinary development at Kikkoman, has perfected the turkey brine. The brine is simple: salt, sugar, water, dried spices and the magic ingredient:
soy sauce. Pull out your refrigerator drawer or a large, deep bucket to brine your bird. After you’ve stirred your ingredients and placed your turkey in the liquid, let the brine work its magic overnight. What’s the secret behind brining? Brining has a tenderizing and moisturizing effect. The brine is absorbed and diffused throughout the meat as it soaks overnight. In addition, Roberts explains that soy sauce has a savory effect that seals in the turkey flavor and moisture. “Brining makes a big difference when you’re roasting meat. You’ll have the juiciest bird you’ve ever tasted,” says Roberts. But, as we all know, a turkey isn’t the only thing on the kitchen table - check out some recipes here that will leave your taste buds craving for more. Savory Turkey Brine Ingredients (Recipe for a 16 to 24 pound turkey) 2 gallons cold water 10 ounces Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce 1/2 cup kosher salt 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons dried sage 2 tablespoons dried celery seed 1 tablespoon dried thyme Instructions The night before roasting, remove
giblets and turkey neck; rinse turkey inside and out. In a large stock pot or 5 gallon bucket, mix water with remaining ingredients. Stir well until all the salt is dissolved. Place turkey in the pot, cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Remove turkey from the brine, rinsing well. Follow your regular cooking instructions. Brining isn’t just for meat though. Brine veggies for a rich, savory taste. Perhaps one of the trendiest veggies, Brussels sprouts, are a prime candidate for a soy sauce brine. Sick of the same old side dishes? Now that you’ve brined your turkey, get creative with your side dishes too. Put a spin on classic mashed potatoes with the Wasabi Mashed Potatoes recipe found on www.kikkomanusa.com. The spice
and heat will balance out the creamy texture of the mashed potatoes. If you have leftover turkey, try a completely new dish instead of just reheating. Keep enjoying your juicy turkey by adding to a stir fry, include in a salad or in a tetrazzini. For leftover mashed potatoes, use panko to transform into crunchy, warm Panko Mashed Potato Cakes. Have you ever wondered ... why turkey for Thanksgiving? Turkeys became a Thanksgiving staple after the Native Americans introduced turkey to the Pilgrims back in 1621 during the first Thanksgiving meal. As you prepare to celebrate the holidays, try this brining recipe to keep turkey juicy and moist, and you are bound to enjoy a wonderful meal with friends and family.
German shepherds to gerbils: How to choose the best pet for your family Whether a loyal pal like Lassie is what you’re looking for, or a Garfieldlike couch potato is more your speed, a pet can make a wonderful addition to your family. But there is more to choosing a new pet than simply falling in love with a cute face. Making an informed and well-researched decision can lead to a happy home life for both you and your pet. One of the most important things to know is that all pets are awesome. They have the potential to be great family members. It all boils down to what you want the animal for, the demands of the animal, and the husbandry and expenses associated with that animal. The priority is the family needs to decide the type of time they have available for the animal. The family also needs to look at its capability to provide the appropriate exercise, living quarters and temperament. Sometimes people are mismatched with the animals they choose, and shelters are filled with young dogs that did nothing wrong. They were just a poor match for their owners. The energy of the animal is an important factor to consider. For any species, understanding how much energy that animal has is important. For example, a border collie wouldn’t
be good for people working 16 hours a day, while great Danes tend to make great apartment dogs since they generally lay around a lot. Your family must be able to meet the energy needs of the animal. If you work long hours, a cat would be a better choice than a dog, but it’s important to remember that cats also need companionship. For families that aren’t home much, a fish, hamster, gerbil, rat or ferret would be better choices. Puppies will require exercise and obedience training, which will require more time than an older dog or other types of animals. Temperament is another key area, especially when looking at breeds of dogs. People often look at puppies as the ideal dog for their small children, but this isn’t the case. A puppy for children younger than 5 is not recommended and that the puppy cowering in the back of the litter is the worst to pick for children. The cost of owning a pet goes beyond the initial purchase of the animal. An animal like a hamster will require an initial purchase of a cage, wheel and food, while a dog will require a collar, leash, obedience lessons, a kennel and food, among other things. The amount an animal eats will also greatly affect the cost
of ownership. All animals should be seen by a veterinarian at least once a year. A relationship with a veterinarian is just as profound as a relationship with a lawyer or regular doctor. Don’t forget to look at the health of your own family. If you have individuals with allergies, certain breeds and species of animals are better. There are even dogs that are hypo-allergenic. Think about how clean you want your home if you are bothered by cat or dog hair. You can’t confine an animal to a mud room or basement. Before deciding on any pet,
research is key. The biggest thing is you have to do your research and think about the needs of the animal. It’s not about you, it’s about the animal. It’s going to need your time, love and attention. For dogs, talk with breeders, people who own that breed, and research breeds on sites like the American Kennel Club website, which contains info on all breeds of dogs. If you’re adopting an animal, many rescue groups and shelters do an excellent job of assessing temperament. These shelters will know if an animal is good with children and other animals.

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.

Autumn edibles: Tips for fall gardening and second plantings People choose to garden for many reasons: Food is fresher and tastes better. It’s a healthy hobby that exercises the body. It saves money. Numerous reports show an increasing number of homeowners are growing their own fruits, vegetables and herbs. As summer’s end nears, you may think gardening season is over. The good news is with a few strategic tips, you can keep your green thumb going and enjoy a plethora of autumn edibles for months to come. Step 1: Select second plantings Second plantings are the plants you use for the latter part of the gardening season. Late summer is typically the best time to plant these varieties. Call your local extension offices or access information online to find regionalized planting schedules and recommended plant varieties. The length of the fall season and when the first frost will likely hit are important considerations when selecting second plantings. Keep in mind that fast-maturing vegetables are ideal for fall gardening and they should be planted early enough to reach maturity before the first frost arrives. Popular second plantings that yield a delicious late fall/early winter harvest include broccoli, lettuce, turnips, collards, carrots, peas, radish, spinach, leeks and beets. Some people even claim root vegetables and cole crops like kale and turnips taste better after the first frost. Step 2: Prepare your garden space If you plan to use your current garden space for
second plantings, remove the early-season plants that are done producing. Add those plants to your current compost bin or create a new compost pile with easy-to-use, stylish options from Outdoor Essentials. Wood-slate bins blend well with the outdoor aesthetic and the design allows oxygen to circulate and facilitate the composting process. Next, prepare your garden space. Elevated garden beds are growing in popularity because they look great anywhere in your yard or on your patio, and are easy to move if necessary. Raised garden beds from Outdoor Essentials elevate the plants so gardeners don’t have to bend over and risk injury. They are ideal for fall because gardeners can regulate the temperature of raised beds with ease. On hot days, move or add a shade netting to protect plants from the heat; when frost is a threat, cover the entire bed for protection. While you’re getting your hands dirty, fall is the perfect time to plant spring flowering bulbs. A little outdoor work now and you’ll be rewarded with beautiful flowers when spring arrives next year. Step 3: Enjoy the harvest Tend your garden daily for the best results - it may just need a quick check for pests and proper soil moisture. Typical benefits of late-season gardening include fewer bothersome bugs and the soil has better water retention. As plants grow, pick the fruits and vegetables and enjoy Mother Nature’s bounty. If your plants become crowded, pluck a few out to help remaining plants grow roots and increase the harvest yield. You may be surprised just how many cool months
your plants provide you with fresh, delicious produce. Fall is a great opportunity to keep gardening momentum alive. So get started and decide what second plantings are best for your space. In as little as 30 days you could be eating the freshest, most flavorful vegetables you’ve ever had, all while under the gorgeous autumn sun.
