Tips for new pet parents Whether you’re acquiring a new puppy or kitten for your household or adopting an adult pet from a shelter or rescue organization, the following tips will help you get off on the right foot with your newest family member. * What’s up, doc? Just as you require regular visits to your doctor and dentist to make sure you stay healthy, so does your new pet. A veterinary visit should be a oncea-year event, minimum, and more frequent check-ups may be needed, depending on your pet’s age and health status. Regular visits are likely to include a thorough exam, weigh-in, immunizations and parasite checks (a heartworm test and fecal exam). Blood tests and dental cleanings are also routine procedures. * Healthy eating. Your new pet may be eyeing your plate with interest, but don’t give in. Pets shouldn’t eat like people. Cats are carnivores; they need plenty of protein in their diets roughly twice the percentage that you do - and they need it in the form of meat, poultry or fish. And while your dog, like you, is an omnivore, that doesn’t mean he should share your meals. A food formulated especially for dogs is much better and treats should make up no more than 10 percent of a dog’s caloric intake. * Parasite prevention. You’ve probably heard of pests like heartworms, intestinal parasites, fleas and ticks but understanding how and when to prevent them is a different matter. Dogs and cats can become infected with heartworms, although the resulting disease differs somewhat between the two species. Heartworm disease can be deadly, or it can reduce the quality of life of both dogs and cats. Mosquitoes spread heartworms and dogs and cats need
The Ladera Ranch News
to be protected year-round, thanks to a mosquito’s ability to survive in a variety of environments. A bonus is that many heartworm preventives also protect pets against other internal parasites. For more information on how to protect your new pet against heartworms and other parasites, talk to your veterinarian and visit the American Heartworm society website at heartwormsociety.org. * Bathing. Most of us wouldn’t dream of letting a day go by without a shower or bath. But daily bathing is unnecessary for pets and can dry out their skin and hair. Most dogs are fine with a bath every three months, unless they get extra dirty or have silky hair. Cats usually keep themselves clean without any help although brushing long-haired cats on a regular basis is advised to keep their fur tangle-free and help prevent hairballs. * Making a connection. Dogs and cats relate to their owners in different ways. As a pack animal, dogs expect you to lead their pack and give them
rules to follow. Dogs make faces - in fact, it’s estimated that they have 100 different facial expressions, thanks to their mobile ears. Cats attach to their people as social partners and use affectionate behaviors, such as purring, kneading and rubbing against you to show their affection. They’re also quite vocally expressive and can produce more than 100 different sounds. * Sleep habits. While cats have a reputation for dozing, both cats and dogs spend more than half their time in slumber. Like babies, puppies and kittens sleep more than adults, although their sleep patterns can be erratic. Keep in mind that excessive sleeping can be a sign of boredom. Most pets will be glad to forego a nap for playtime or a walk. Bringing a pet into your home is one of the greatest joys in life, but it means new responsibilities. Understanding your pet’s behavior, as well as the do’s and don’ts of pet health care, will help make your bond with your pet a lasting one.

US Ambassador to Iraq Featured at World Affairs Council OC Photos by Ann Chatillon The World Affairs Council of Orange County held a special dinner at the Weston South Coast Plaza Hotel in Costa Mesa with featured keynote speaker, former Ambassador to Iraq Paul Bremer who spoke on the subject, “America-Still the Indispensable Nation: Lessons Learned in the Aftermath of Iraq and Afghanistan”. Orange County Chapter Chairman Tom Pappa welcomed approximately 200 attendees to the Event and among the distinguished guests in attendance, recognized were Lewis Johnson, CEO Alelo, Inc., UC-Irvine’s Dr. Peter Navarro, OCBJ’s Jerry Sullivan, Judge Jim Gray, Irvine Mayor Steven Choi, World Affairs Council National Board Members Timor Rafiq and Serge Tomassian, Joanne Sokolski, Orange County office of Protocol, and Dr. and Mrs. Kamal Batniji, who has performed extensive medical humanitarian work worldwide. Dinner was served – folks dined on mixed winter greens with dried cranberries, candied pecans, and crumbled goat cheese with balsamic vinaigrette for starters. Main course served was a delicious braised boneless short-ribs with forked mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, then dessert had a trio of Pistachio Crème Brulee, dark chocolate mousse, and a wild berry shot. Ambassador Bremer started his day with breakfast with five students selected by the World Affairs Council where he answered questions about his job and the world at large. He then spent lunch with a group of 30 young professionals where he addressed some of the tasks included in his job as ambassador. The evening caped his visit in Orange County with his keynote address; he stated the United States remains the only capable leader to defend the values of the Western World. He also answered questions from the crowd, was very charming and received a standing ovation. During three decades as a professional diplomat, Bremer served in numerous capacities including Ambassador to the Netherlands and Ambassador at Large for Counter Terrorism in the Reagan administration. He was appointed Presidential Envoy to Iraq by President George W. Bush in 2003. The Ambassador received the State Department Superior Honor Award, two Presidential Meritorious Service Awards, and the Distinguished Honor Award from the Secretary of State. In 2004, Ambassador Bremer received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his service in Iraq. He also holds a B.A. from Yale University, Certificat d’Etudes Politiques from the University of Paris, and MBA from Harvard University. Spotted in the crowd were Chapman College’s Dr. Jim & Cigden Coyle, Drs. Harry and Asha Sahota (inventor of the angioplasty balloon), incoming World Affairs Council President Mark Chapin Johnson, Dr. Bogie Maglich, R & D Medical’s David Sheraton and his fiancé Veronica Contreras, Bowers Board Member Janis Agopian, Rutan & Tucker’s Ted and Sherry Wallace, and Black Starr & Frost’s Moustafa Imam. Underwriters for the affair were Serge & Mona Tomassian, Bruce & Carol Hallenbeck, David Sheraton, Hal Smith, Rod and Liz Maxson, and Dr. Parmis Khatibi.

Three tips to extend the life of your smartphone
We sit on our smartphones, toss them into a purse and sometimes, quite accidentally, douse them in the toilet. And that doesn’t include what grimy-fingered kids do to smartphones as they play games. Generally, we are not very nice to the technology that has become central to our lifestyles. “Most smartphones are pretty durable, but they are not tanks,” says Iza Perez, a product marketing manager for Sony Mobile. “Smartphone damage is typically user-inflicted but they can be usercorrected just as easily.” Here are three tips she recommends to reduce wear-andtear on smartphones to extend their life: 1. Water salvage Let’s be honest: 75 percent of us use our smartphone in the restroom, according to marketing firm 11Mark. And software-maker Plaxo found that nearly one in five people drop their phones in the toilet. Hey, it happens. So what do you do if you’re one of those unfortunate souls that wets their phone? (Don’t forget rain storms and swimming pools.) First and most obvious: Dry it immediately with a soft, absorbent cloth. Second, remove the battery and place the damp phone and battery separately into an uncooked bag of rice to absorb the moisture. Don’t be in a rush to put it back together. And if that doesn’t work, well, you’ll likely need a new phone. Fortunately, many case makers and smartphone makers are introducing water-resistant features to help minimize water damage. The Sony Xperia Z, for example, can stay submerged in 3 feet of water for 30 minutes, which should be plenty of time for a long bathroom break.
2. Keep it clean Smartphones are germ magnets because they are constantly touched with unwashed hands. Did you know that the average smartphone user checks their device 110 times a day?That’s according to a 2013 study by Locket, an app maker, who checked how often its 150,000 users activated their phones by swiping the screen or tapping a home button. To reduce germs from clinging to your phone they can live up to 48 hours, by the way - regularly clean your phone with microfiber cloth and a spritz of sanitizing screen-cleaning solution. Likewise, you can remove dirt and grime build up in crevices with a microfiber cloth or a cotton swap and a touch of solution. If you have a case, remove it every once and a while to thoroughly clean that as well. 3. Battery preservation Aside from the cool touchscreen, the battery is a smartphone’s lifeblood. There are a few simple things you can do to extend battery life on a daily basis that will help reduce the number of times a recharge is needed. Dimming screen brightness and reducing the number of alerts you receive - particularly those that vibrate - will save a lot of juice. Closing apps when finished is also a plus, particularly those that use location features. Apps running in the background doing nothing still suck battery life.- Also, check your settings menu for battery saving features. Most phone makers now include software to automatically adjust usage - but not close opened apps. When shopping for a new phone, consider one with advanced battery-saving features.

Local Dentist Dr. Michael tessier Discusses Sleep Problems Including Snoring and Sleep Apnea Snoring, or noisy breathing while asleep affects slightly more men than women. There are several reasons for this, including Dr. Michael Tessier flabby tissue in the throat, loose or long soft palates, or obstructed nasal passages. Sleep apnea or the temporary cessation of breathing is a result of some of that redundant tissue or the base of the tongue covering the wind- pipe. Snoring and sleep apnea prevent a good, deep night’s sleep, which can lead to a sleepy day, even narcolepsy which causes people to fall completely asleep during the work day. Undue stress on the heart can also be a result of a poor night’s sleep. According to a Yale University study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has found that obstructive sleep apnea can triple the risk of stroke or death. 4% of adult men and 2% of adult women in this country suffer from the malady, including, according to a 2003 study of three hundred players, about 14% of the National Football League. While there are surgical procedures used today to cut away redundant tissue and open up the breathing passage
not everyone needs surgery to fix this problem.. Alternatively, I make a noninvasive removable oral appliance (like a retainer) that comfortably repositions the lower jaw forward, thereby clearing the base of the tongue away from the windpipe minimizing breathing restrictions to give you more oxygen while you are sleeping. I have tried several designs, both on myself and patients with similar problems, and have finally found THE WINNER. My wife and my neighbors, and all the patients for whom I’ve made this appliance and their neighbors, are very grateful. We all awaken more refreshed in the morning because we got a more profound, more restful nights sleep. Incidentally, a patient told me today that in a hospital sleep study he had 168 sleep apnea episodes without the appliance, and seventeen episodes with it. Also, he had a seventeen per cent reduction in blood oxygen while sleeping without the appliance, and only a three per cent reduction with it. If your sleep habits are disturbing other people, before going the surgery route, a call to Dr. Tessier’s Office for a complimentary consultation appointment may be in order. Dr. Michael Tessier’s office is located at 28562 Oso at the intersection of Oso and Antonio parkway in the center near the carwash and Starbucks. The telephone number is 949-459-7212.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On March 18, 2015 at 09:00 AM, on the front steps to the entrance of the Orange Civic Center, 300 E. Chapman, Orange, CA 92866, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on April 4, 2003, as Instrument No. 2003000371808, and that said Deed of Trust was modified by Modification Agreement recorded on February 1, 2013 as Instrument Number 2013000068989 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Orange County, California, executed by TRACY M. BROUGHTON, A SINGLE WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS as nominee for FIRST MAGNUS FINANCIAL CORPORATION, AN ARIZONA CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 6 EDENDALE STREET, LADERA RANCH (AREA), CA 92694 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $772,337.88 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash
is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08003721-14-1. 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.

With amazing scenery, trails, El Prado, three clubhouses and a full calendar of events, it’s no wonder Sendero is selling so quickly and was named 2014 Best Master-Planned Community not only in Orange County—but in the entire U.S. Now, Sendero Farm is nearly here. It’s a sustainable farm, including a produce stand, your own place to plant and farm-fresh eggs from Sendero hens. There’s even a friendly community farmer overseeing it all, from carrots and kale to arugula and herbs. Farm-to-fork dinner parties and seasonal events will take place amid the fruit orchard, community toolshed, children’s garden and fields of flowers. And since Sendero is nearing sellout, now is the perfect time to put down roots. S E N D E R O N E I G H B O R H O O D S (from the $300s) LYON CABANAS From 1,006 to 1,557 sq. ft.
