Top Moments From the Grammy Show It was an exciting Grammys night! From the stars who worked it on the red carpet (we’re looking at you, Carrie Underwood!) to the enthusiastic audience (could Lena Dunham be any more excited for boyfriend and fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff’s wins?), we were glued to the screen. But there were definitely more than a few highlights that helped define this year’s awards ceremony. Taylor Swift’s Surprise British Accent. Take note, Harry Styles! While opening up the Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift sung her hit “We Are Never Getting Back Together” and during the song, threw a bit of a jab at her British ex, Styles. “So he calls me up and he’s like, ‘I still love you,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m sorry, I’m busy opening up the Grammys,’” she said in the middle of the song, using a British accent. “And we’re never getting back together, like, ever.” Carrie Underwood’s Light-Up Dress. When Carrie Underwood took the stage, we weren’t sure if it was the country beauty or a life-size Barbie, complete with a battery pack. As she sung “Blown Away” and then switched to “Two Black Cadillacs” her outfit changed as well -- and different pictures and designs were projected on her white dress. As one AOL Music staffer noted, “Is she giving birth to butterflies?” or was she
Page 4
just auditioning to be an extra in “The Hunger Games” District 1? We’re still not sure. Katy Perry Introducing “Best New Artist.” While reading the nominees for “Best New Artist,” the always-witty singer offered helpful advice to the would-be losers in the category. “If you don’t win, don’t worry. I was never even nominated in this category and
The Ladera Ranch News
I have my own eyelash line,” she said as the audience laughed. Well played, Katy. Somehow though, we can’t picture Hunter Hayes, Alabama Shakes, The Lumineers, or Frank Ocean (who all lost to fun.) EVER having an eyelash line. Frank Ocean/Chris Brown Feud Heats Up. Weeks after the two singers allegedly fought outside a studio, tensions still seemed to be running high at tonight’s Grammys. As Ocean collected two awards -- one for “Rap/ Sung Collaboration” and the other for “Best Urban Contemporary Album” (where he beat out Chris Brown) -- Chris didn’t give him a standing ovation, despite the entire Staples Center audience doing so. Can’t we all just get along? Rihanna Performs “Stay.” Although RiRi is known for her smash club hits, she proved that even when she takes it down a notch, she can still own it. Singer Mikky Ekko joined her for the stripped down performance, a definite standout of the night! JT’s Retro Performance. Nope, your TV screen didn’t need to be adjusted when Justin Timberlake took the stage -- taking a cue from Bruno Mars, the singer made the telecast of his performance black and white. Jay-Z joined JT to sing their duet “Suit & Tie” and then Justin performed “Pusher Love Girl.” What was the only thing missing? His curly hair! Justin debuted a new, slicked-back style. Lookin’ good, J-Tims. Bruno Mars’ Surprise Showcase. Bruno Mars was working it during
his performance of “Locked Out of Heaven,” but the song was kicked into high gear with an appearance by Sting! The two sounded spectacular together, bringing Rihanna on stage for a special tribute to Bob Marley. The audience loved it, too -- we spotted Nicole Kidman rocking out! Kelly Clarkson’s Touching Speech. Kelly Clarkson gave us one more reason to love her -- her acceptance speech for “Pop Vocal Album.” The “Stronger” singer admitted to the audience (and millions of viewers!) that she gets nervous speaking in front of crowds! No worries, her humble speech had us all saying “Aww” as she complimented the other singers in the category and thanked her fiance, gushing, “Thank you so much [to] my fiancé who is sexy tonight, y’all.” J.Lo’s “Jolie” Dress. Forget Angelina Jolie’s leg -- Jennifer Lopez’s high-cut dress took over at this year’s Grammy Awards red carpet. When Ryan Seacrest questioned her choice despite the Grammys’ strict dress code, the singer/ actress replied, “They said nothing about the legs! I thought I was being such a good girl! A little shoulder and a little leg.” Work it, girl! Ed Sheeran’s Epic Duet. At last! Ed Sheeran teased us all last week by giving us just enough info about his much-anticipated performance with Elton John. The firsttime nominee killed it on stage, duetting on his breakout hit “The A-Team” with the iconic singer-songwriter. We need this on our iPods ASAP.

Ladera Ranch News is an independent weekly newspaper published every Friday. We are not owned or operated by any of the big daily newspapers. The views and opinions expressed are those of the publisher and not any organization. No reproduction, in whole or in part is permitted without the express written permission of Ladera Ranch News. Legal Advertising: The Ladera Ranch News was adjudicated by the Orange County Superior Court as a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code 6000 case #A227454 on December 30, 2004 and as such is the appropriate newspaper to place legal and public notices for the South Orange County Judicial District and the community of Ladera Ranch..
The American Pharmacists Association would like to remind the public about the importance of speaking with their pharmacist during cold and flu season. A pharmacist can help patients with such things as getting a flu shot, identifying the differences between a common cold and the flu, suggesting the best over-thecounter medications and offering a recommendation when a health care provider should be seen. The common cold and influenza are two of the most easily transmittable diseases in the United States. Although the common cold is usually mild, with symptoms lasting one to two weeks, it is a leading cause of doctor visits and missed days from school and work. Typically, children suffer from five to seven colds each year and adults from two to three. According to the CDC, on average 5% to 20% of the U.S. population becomes ill with influenza, more than 200,000 people are hospitalized and more than 24,000 people die from seasonal flu-related complications. A pharmacist can discuss your symptoms with you and offer advice on the best course of action. If a patient has the flu, and it is still within the first two days, a pharmacist can advise the patient and offer solutions including further evaluation and treatment options that may include prescription antiviral therapy from an authorized prescriber. If a patient has a cold, viral sinus infection or has past the two-day window with influenza, a pharmacist can suggest the best over-the-counter medications to fit his/her symptoms.
Optimizing Your Pharmacist’s Over-The-Counter Medication Suggestions * Discuss the symptoms you are trying to treat, and the duration of those symptoms, with your pharmacist. * Provide your pharmacist with a list of all the medications – prescription, over-the-counter and herbal – you are currently taking and any over-thecounter products you have already used and the results achieved. * Remember that sometimes, the best medicine is none at all. Your pharmacist may recommend just a few days of rest, adequate hydration and regular, healthy meals. * Provide the age and weight of the patient to your pharmacist. This is especially important with children’s products, as formulations are different depending on the weight of the child. * Read product labeling, take the medication exactly as directed, learn of possible side effects, and ask your pharmacist what should be avoided while taking the medication. * Watch for duplicate ingredients. If you are giving your child more than one OTC medication check the active ingredient(s) used in each medication to make sure you are not giving your child more than one product with the same active ingredient. * Do not use a kitchen spoon to measure liquid medications. Obtain appropriate medication administration aids (i.e. droppers, syringes, spoons, etc.) and ask the pharmacist how to use them properly. * Don’t give medications in the dark. Turn on the lights if your child
needs medication at night. Do not give medication to a child who is not fully awake. * Remember, most OTC medications are for temporary relief of minor symptoms. Contact your pharmacist or health care provider if your condition persists or gets worse. * The flu, common colds and most other upper respiratory infections are caused by viruses and are NOT treated with antibiotics.An antiviral will reduce the symptoms of the flu if received within the first 48 hours of symptom onset. * There is still time to protect your family from the flu, the CDC recommends all persons six months or older receive an influenza vaccine. The vaccine is available throughout the flu season or as long as supply lasts. Make sure to speak with your pharmacist about your vaccination needs.

Sawdust Announces 2013 “Sustain Local Art and Cuisine” Fundraising Event
The Sawdust Art Festival is pleased to announce its 2013 “Sustain Local Art and Cuisine” fundraising event scheduled for Sunday, March 10 from 3-7 pm at the Sawdust grounds, hosted under the umbrella of Laguna Beach Visitors & Conference Bureau’s Laguna A La Carte annual event. The Sawdust is excited to partner with local restaurant 370 Common owner Chef Ryan Adams to present a three-course meal with wine and beer pairings. Unique dining-ware, serving-ware and stemware will be made by a team of talented Sawdust artists specially for this event. Sawdust artists will “meet and greet” event guests and demonstrate their creative processes at the event. Guests will take home special art gifts and will have the opportunity to purchase art pieces at the event. A portion of the proceeds raised at the “Sustain Local Art and Cuisine” event will benefit the Sawdust Art Education Fund and will be directly utilized in the creation of a 15-minute educational artist video. Twelve Sawdust artists will be interviewed and captured on film, sharing and demonstrating their specific creative processes. The twelve artist demon-
strations will be pieced together into a complete film and will be the fourth in a series of similar films. These films are an integral part in supporting Sawdust’s mission and will serve in educating the public as guests come through the festivals each year. Due to lack of funding, the Sawdust Art Festival has had to put the creation of these films on hold since 2009. In order to retain the knowledge of unique art forms and how they are created, the production of these artist films is very important to the Sawdust Art Festival. “Sustain Local Art and Cuisine” tickets are $195 per person. Space is limited. Visit www.sawdustartfestival. org/fundraiser or call 949-494-3030 for tickets. To contribute at sponsorship levels, please contact Cynthia Fung at cfung@sawdustartfestival. org or 949-497-0517. The Sawdust Art Festival is located at 935 Laguna Canyon Road. The Sawdust Art Festival is a non-profit art organization dedicated to educating the public and promoting the art created in Laguna Beach. Two-hour Sawdust Studio Art Classes are offered every Friday and Saturday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the Sawdust

Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Suggests Faster and Easier Five Minute Way to Cure Canker Sores and Cold Sores About twenty percent of the population suffers from canker sores, while twenty to thirty percent suffers from cold sores. Both kinds of these common mouth lesions are painful and annoying but there’s no need to wait a week or ten days for this irritating condition to subside. Here in my dental office in Rancho Santa Margarita, I use a laser. It quickly delivers a small, concentrated amount of energy to a very specific, localized area, and, in the course of a five minute office visit, the lesion is significantly reduced in size, essentially scabbed over, and the patient is free of pain. Modern technology at its best! Cold sores are fluid-filled blisters on the lips. Their outbreak is stimulated by trauma, colds, or most commonly, exposure to the sun. People who get them regularly report a tingling sensation in the area before any lesion actually appears. Anti-viral medications taken very soon after onset dramatically shorten the length of time of the outbreak and its severity. The amino acid, Lysine, is said to be useful in fighting cold sores. The culprit herpes simplex virus is easily transmittable. Canker sores, also called mouth ulcers or apthous ulcers, are not contagious. They occur as shallow ulcers inside of the mouth. Because they are not caused by a virus, canker sores cannot be treated with anti-viral medications. Canker sores are a reaction to certain “triggers” that initiate their formation. Foods like chocolate, nuts, beer, in some cases orange juice, and wheat products may be the instigator. Of course, injury to the inside of the mouth caused by eating hard candy, crusty French bread, corn chips, or hurried tooth brushing can also be the perpetrators. Warm salt water rinses are the old fashioned treatment of these lesions. Rinsing this way increases circulation and thereby removes toxins from the inflamed tissues. Ibuprofen, an over-the-counter, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory, is slow but effective. But most people with busy lives find it faster, easier and more comfortable to come into my dental office and enjoy the immediate relief a laser treatment provides. The laser is fast, affordable and, as I mentioned above in the course of a five minute office visit, the lesion is significantly reduced in size, essentially scabbed over, and you continue your daily routine free of pain. Please don’t hesitate to call my office if mouth lesions are a problem. Dr. Michael Tessier’s office is located at 28562 Oso at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways (near the car wash) Most major credit cards and dental plans cheerfully accepted.

Literacy Project Foundation Graduates Reading Super Stars
The Ladera Ranch News
Holder Elementary School Graduates: Program Coordinator Kimberly Vig and Master Teacher Miranda Espinosa with graduating students at Holder Elementary
Over the next two weeks, Literacy Project Foundation (LPF) will host a series of special ceremonies to congratulate the graduating classes of LPF’s reading program. This winter LPF serviced 228 struggling readers at no cost at 12 schools throughout the Anaheim, Capistrano and Long Beach unified school districts. Graduations are held at the culmination of each 30-hour program to award the students for their improvements in reading skills levels and self-esteem as confident readers. Upon graduation, documented pre-post testing results prove significant measureable growth in reading skills levels of 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders who were performing well below English proficiency standards. Orange County Department of Education (OCDE)’s Evaluation, Assessment, and Data Center (EADC) recently completed an executive data summary stating that LPF’s program provides an average growth of half of a grade level over the course of the program. The summary concludes, “Tested students began the program with lower reading skills than the comparison group, and tested significantly higher than non-participating students at the end of the 30 hours of instruction. Despite different grades, ages and schools, participating students consistently out-performed their classmates who were not enrolled in the reading program.” In addition to measuring changes in literacy skills, the assessment also analyzed changes in students’ attitudes towards reading. Using attitudinal data from pre-post program surveys, student responses revealed at the end of the program (1) students were more comfortable reading out loud in class and (2) more students reported reading as their favorite subject. “There was no doubt that LPF’s work with underperforming readers was making a significant difference both academically and attitudinally. The documented results in the EADC’s study reinforces our positive work with kids and will help launch us forward into other school districts across California,” says President/CEO Sue Tucker. In addition to receiving a certificate of completion and book bag, each student will receive a book donated by Disneyland Resort and the Molina Foundation who collectively donated over 2,500 books to gift each participating child upon graduation. LPF serviced the following schools this past session: Viejo and RH Dana (CAPO), Cerritos, Twila Reid, Holder, Dr. Jonas Salk, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Dr. Peter Marshall, Juliette Low and Lord Baden-Powel (Anaheim), Willard and Burbank (Long Beach). With plans to make a greater impact on literacy in 2013, Literacy Project Foundation will host their annual benefit luncheon on Wednesday, September 18 at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach to raise funds to provide their reading programs statewide. The afternoon will be highlighted by a keynote speaker who will address the risks we face as a society when children fall behind in their reading proficiency. Five graduate students will join their adult role models to present inspiring dreams of becoming successful literate adults. This event brings together philanthropists, literacy experts and passionate supporters of education. Founded in 2009, Literacy Project Foundation’s vision is to bring the gift of literacy to children as a foundational learning element to help achieve their personal dreams. Their mission is to enable at-risk and disadvantaged youth to increase their reading skill levels. The goal of the Foundation is to enable these children to become self-sufficient, productive and contributing members of our society. To do this, they access and enhance key phonic skills amongst struggling readers; proPage 12

El Toro High School Grad, Ivan Melgarejo, joins Army It’s a mild winter’s day in Southern California. Standing outside the high school gym, Ivan Melgarejo, recalls the years he spent training to be an El Toro Charger. He loved the discipline of football, he said. At 5 foot 6, he’s physically unimposing, but exudes a confidence and determination he says made him a pretty good linebacker. Now the assistant coach at El Toro High School in Lake Forest, Calif. Ivan is passing on his lessons learned to today’s football players. Motivational workout music and intermittent grunts of muscle chasing teens echo in the background as Ivan describes his life’s ambitions and talks about how he arrived at an unconventional decision. Ivan grew up in Anaheim, in a traditional Hispanic household with three siblings and working parents. He grew up envisioning what many young kids do: hard work and a good education are the keys to great paying jobs and achieving the American Dream, “I wanted to be the first one in my family to graduate from a four-year college,” he said. This is the goal Ivan spent his middle and high school years preparing for. In eighth grade, he enrolled in the Advanced via Individual Determination program. Also called AVID, it is an academic program geared toward assisting students accepted into college, offered resources and mentorship, taught him skills to succeed in school, and showed him a clear map of courses he’d need to meet college pre-requisites. He followed the AVID study plan, played freshman, junior varsity and varsity football to develop his discipline and commitment skills, and remained focused on his college dream. When Ivan graduated from El Toro High School in June 2012, he had a 3.8 grade point average, and letters of acceptance from California State University Fullerton, CSU Long Beach, CSU Bakersfield, and San Diego State University. With four colleges to choose from, Ivan was at a crossroads. There was a fifth option rolling in the back of his mind; one that would fulfill another

Ivan’s first impression of the military was one of camaraderie The Southern California Recruiting Battalion conducts weekly training and adventure, “I talked to to teach new recruits many of the military skills they will need to meet some veterans that day thechallenges of Army basic training. and I liked their stories of being out there, in the action.” He said it lit a fire in him. He put his military service aspirations on the backburner in order to focus on school. It wasn’t until the time came to choose a college that his military passion reemerged. He had an urge to travel and see other things, “I wanted to take my own route in life.” A close friend encouraged him to follow his heart and visit a local Army recruiter. It was then that Ivan knew his road to the “American Dream” was going then kick you out when your three or four years is to be through the U.S. Army, “I already knew I wanted up.

Add Some Excitement to Your Routine The benefits of an active lifestyle extend far beyond enhancing your body. Get out of a rut and add some excitement to your routine. A little change can go a long way and help you stay motivated. Jump-start your day by using these inspirational tips to help you make smart choices for a balanced lifestyle. Staying Active: Make time. Finding time for fitness can be a challenge, so sneak in more physical movement when you can. While watching TV at home, try doing lunges during commercial breaks or lifting weights. Change up your route. Varying your walking, jogging or cycling route or teaming up with a partner are two great ways to stay motivated. Eating Well: Incorporate more color. Plan meals around dark green vegetables like spinach and broccoli and brightly-colored apples and oranges. Try a turkey wrap with leaf spinach, carrot slices and honey mustard on 1/3 cup plain yogurt a whole-wheat tortilla. 1 tablespoon apple juice For more great tasting and simple recipes, visit Snack well.

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA’S IN-N-OUT BURGER OPENS FOR BUSINESS BEATING THE VALENTINE’S DAY PREDICTION
ASH WEDNESDAY OPENING DAY CROWDS encircled the parking lot at the new In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Rancho Santa Margarita near the 241 onramp.

The Ladera Ranch News
In New Orleans, the day before Lent is called “Fat Tuesday”, so In-N-Out Burger executives wisely chose the following day to open their new Rancho Santa Margarita restaurant. Even though Ash Wednesday is traditionally and historically a day of fasting and abstinence from meat, Rancho Santa Margarita residents promptly filled the drive through line at the new In-N-Out Burger Restaurant next to the Ford dealership. Coto de Caza news photographers again ventured out into the blazing sun light to capture photos of the hungry crowds who ventured into the strongly onion-scented parking lot of Rancho Santa Margarita’s newest restaurant. Few people actually entered the premises of the new In-N-Out Burger Restaurant. In-N-Out Burger is not just a name, it’s a sophisticated and high tech concept designed to sell burgers to far more people than could possibly fit inside the restaurant. The whole idea behind this enterprise is to keep the crowds moving. The crowds come in, but they slow down just long enough to grab their food from a window and then they speed on out. Ranchos new In-N-Out Burger Restaurant speeds up the process even more by having the “hand-held order taker”, an employee who walks up and down the drive- through line taking orders and relaying those to the kitchen so that there are never any delays at the pickup window. Other burger restaurants may sell larger and tastier burgers, but none can possibly claim that they are faster than new In-N-Out Burger Restaurant. While burger buyers are welcome to
come inside, anyone who does so will slowly discover that dining inside the restaurant is a very time consuming experience. While you can usually drive-through and receive your order in 3 minutes or less, If you come inside and place your order at the counter during the lunch hour it can easily take you 10 to 12 minutes for someone to hand you your food. The reason is that they feed the drive-through line first. In-N-Out Burger Restaurant processes all of the drive-through orders before those inside the restaurant. Only about 70 people will fit inside the restaurant at a given time, and since they are not going anywhere, it makes much better economic sense to feed 150 or more customers in the drive-through line. One estimate is that new In-N-Out Burger can feed as many as 400 people driving through the restaurant during the same time that 70 people are sitting down inside to eat. Also, eating in your car is far more comfortable than eating inside the new InN-Out Burger Restaurant which has small, tightly-fitting tables, and hard un-upholstered seating nowhere near as comfy as your automobile seat. So while the food is fast; probably the fastest in the nation, it is also fresh and prepared in clean and efficient kitchens. The new In-N-Out Burger Restaurant employees are paid slightly more than other fast food Restaurants but they also work considerably faster and deliver far more products than their competitors. In-N-Out Burger Restaurant certainly wants you to come in, but chief among their primary goals is to get you out.
