Festival admission is just $3 per person with free admission on Saturday, June 22 from noon – 5 p.m. for seniors older than 65 years. Children under the age of 10 are admitted free (with parents or an adult) throughout the three-day festival. Free festival parking will also be available, with complimentary shuttle buses transporting guests from public parking sites in Irvine. Greek cuisine and hospitality will be the focal points as the festival will feature authentic recipes for traditional Greek dishes, delicious pastries and a variety of beverages, highlighted with a wine “Taverna,” offering Greek wine and beer. The traditional Greek menu will include Chicken, Lamb Chops, Greek French Fries, Gyros, Pastichio (Greek lasagna), Loucanico (Greek sausage), Spanakopita (spinach and feta pie), Dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves), Saganaki (Greek brandy-flamed cheese),

The Philoptochos, the church’s philanthropic group, will bake around the clock during the weeks leading up to the festival to prepare traditional Baklava and other exquisite pastries. “As Orange County’s largest Greek Orthodox congregation, we are delighted to host a festival that offers an opportunity for the community to experience authentic Greek dining, wine, music, dancing and entertainment,” said Father Steven Tsichlis, St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox Priest. “This year’s festival, our 35th annual, will offer something for everyone with a variety of Greek-themed activities, and tours of the Church to view the beautiful
sanctuary that contains Christian artwork done in mosaic patterned after ancient prototypes that are unique in Orange County.” A family-friendly affair, the festival will be lined with boutique shops, a variety of games and a full-scale carnival. Event attendees can also enter an opportunity drawing for the chance to win one of three premiere prizes, with a Grand Prize of $3,000 and 2nd Prize of $1,200 and 3rd Prize of a 60” television.

Easy Ways to Better Your Community Small town, big city, the suburbs or the country – no matter where you live, you’re part of a local community. Without realizing it, you can have a big impact on your community by the everyday choices that you make. And a thriving local community is good for everyone who lives there. Why You Should Go Local Local First, a Grand Rapids, Michigan based organization that encourages sustainable, locally-based economies, states that when you purchase at locally owned businesses rather than nationally owned, more money is kept in the community because locally-owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses, service providers and farms. Local First estimates that for every $100 you spend with local businesses, $73 remains in the community. Only $57 remains in the local economy when you buy from a national chain store. Most new jobs are provided by local businesses as well, and local business owners donate more to local charities than non-local owners. This means that your support of local businesses has a farther-reaching effect than you might realize. You’re helping people find and keep jobs, and you’re helping make it possible Page 4
for charitable organizations to continue doing much-needed work. How You Can Go Local Start Subscribing. Get a subscription to your community newspapers and local magazines. Not only will they keep you informed about what’s happening in your community, but you’ll help support local business. Shop Locally. There are plenty of locally owned businesses and service providers in your neighborhood. By signing up for a free account, you can easily search out and follow nearby businesses and service providers such as jewelers, plumbers, grocers, and accountants, to get coupons and find out about special events and offers.

Parks, arboretums, museums, parades, festivals, theatres – there plenty of ways to have a good time without leaving
town. A staycation or weekend getaway at home is less expensive for you than heading out of town, and you get to enjoy local treasures. Volunteer.

By Esther Millette Spring is in the air and the weather is warming. It is time to pack the blanket, basket, and cooler and head off on a picnic adventure. Leave around 2:00 on a Sunday afternoon with your favorite destination in mind. Our favorite destination is a state park close to our house. I love to pair our picnic lunch with a wine that goes along fine. One of my favorite picnic items is fried chicken. It is easy and inexpensive to make. Take your chicken legs and dip it in egg. Roll in your favorite crumb batter then fry in some oil, toss on the platter and you’ve got a meal. With fried chicken as the main picnic dish, pack some washed red grapes, and don’t forget some plates. For a picnic with chicken and red grapes, a chilled white chardonnay wine by the Little Penguin, vintage 2010, from South Eastern Australia would be truly divine. We also love to bring sandwiches, not just any sandwiches but roast beef and swiss. I have the deli slice the roast beef thin and layer it on big between slices of fresh wheat bread, top with the swiss. The sandwiches are fun and we pack carrots for a side. Roast beef and the sharp tang of swiss taste great with a cabernet sauvignon, a favorite of mine is the Barefoot cabernet sauvignon from California, the current vintage in stock at the supermarket does the trick. Another nice picnic food and wine pairing is sliced summer sausage, cubed cheese, club crackers, and green grapes or a couple of sliced gala apples. For a picnic with fingers, I pick the four pack of chilled white zinfandel wine from the Gallo Family vineyards in California, vintage unstated. This is a fun change from using a glass, but bring some plastic clear cups as
backup in case the picnic area is a glass free area. Besides the early prep work, this is an easy cleanup, finger food picnic. If the picnic area has a grill, premake some 80/20 patties, pack some sesame seed buns, fresh salt and pepper, and your favorite burger toppings. Bring along some gourmet vegetable chips. When you arrive at the picnic area, preheat the coals and season the patties with the grinded salt and pepper. Twist open a bottle of Robert Mondavi merlot from California, vintage 2009, and serve with the cooked burgers and vegetable chips. If you have already ate lunch and romance is your theme, cut up some strawberries and pick plump green grapes, melt some sweet chocolate and quickly dip in
your fruit. Let dry on a plate and refrigerate. Pack them tightly in a container and place in the cooler. As for the wine, pinor noir can’t be beat with its slight fruity, smooth flavor. The Barefoot pinor noir from California is perfect, especially if you open and chill it the night before the picnic. It makes for a smooth taste the next day. Spring picnics are a special treat. Whether it is a main meal, light lunch, or a romantic rendezvous, these picnic foods and wines are tasty and fun. Take a stroll after your picnic and enjoy the colorful sights of spring. Relax, have fun, and slow life down with a lovely spring picnic.
A good design can feel like something you have always been waiting for without knowing. — Paul Huizinga The Ladera Ranch News

2444, celebrating forty-three (43) years of service to the Saddleback Valley communities, is one of ten lodges in the Orange Coast District of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) whose headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois. The BPOE is a charitable organization with a 145 year history of giving, “Elks Care, Elks Share.”
Popular local dentist dr. michael Tessier discusses Sleep Problems. While the well-known local dentist Dr. Michael Tessier is popular for his exceptional a gentle and friendly care of children, cosmetic restorations, and orthodontics, his office primarily focuses on his patients overall health. “I read an article the other day that said, in effect, sleep could be hazardous to your health. They were referring to “sleep apnea”, the cessation of breathing while sleeping. I was especially interested in this topic as my office provides significant relief for people who suffer from this particular discomfort,” said Dr. Tessier. “This problem could be caused by extra redundant tissue (fat) in the throat or neck which can reduce the diameter of or even cut-off the windpipe while one is in a relaxed sleep-state. It can also be caused by the lower jaw relaxing back into the neck, allowing the base of the tongue to lie on the windpipe, like a manhole cover, cutting off the air to the lungs. This causes the body to wake up enough to take a deep breath. These wake-ups are often gasps for air, and may even include sitting bolt-upright in bed, in a panic. Either of these restrictions can happen as many as sixty times or more a night preventing deep, replenishing sleep, and causing a dramatic reduction in the amount of oxygen that gets into the blood stream. This oxygen reduction negatively impacts the brain, and is damaging or stressful to the heart muscle, and may be fatal in some cases. Yesterday, I had a conversation with a psychologist about the negative results of sleep deprivation, like from sleep apnea, or just plain too-few hours of sack-time. She said that the biggest issue is the replenishment of neuro –transmitters (chemicals in nerve connections ((synapses)) like serotonin, acetylcholine, or dopamine) that could, among other things, lead to depression. The conversation went to sleep aids, like Temazepam or Ambien. I asked if taking drugs like that habit were forming on a long-term basis. She was of the opinion that the negatives from sleep deprivation were worse than the negatives from long-term use of drugs. “An easier solution than drugs, is often to use one of our sleep apnea appliances, which is a simple in the mouth appliance that keeps the jaw forward and the base of the tongue off the windpipe (trachea)., or, three, use a CPAP device, a positivepressure pump that keeps the windpipe open,” said Dr. Tessier. So, if you or the person sleeping next to you is snoring loudly or waking-up gasping for air, 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 phone number is 949-459-7212.

Lawyers, Colleges and Religions Unite to Protect Religious Freedom by Jeffrey W. Shields The 9th Annual Orange County Religion & the Law Symposium was held on Thursday, March 14, 2013, at Chapman University School of Law in Orange. This annual event focuses on hot topic legal issues concerning religious liberty, and is sponsored by the J. Reuben Clark Law Society. Cosponsors this year included Chapman University School of Law, the Christian Legal Society, the Federalist Society, the Jewish Bar Association, Pepperdine University, UCI School of Law, Western State College of Law and Whittier Law School. “The Symposiums provide a forum for people of faith to find common ground and dialogue about important legal and religious principles”, said Jeff Shields, Chair of the Symposium. This year’s symposium, “The Religious Freedom Battle Moves to the States: Non-Partisan Legislative Caucuses”, featured three experienced panelists. Tim Schultz is the State Legislative Policy Director for the American Religious Freedom Program in Washington, D.C., and has been at the forefront of the nationwide efforts to establish non-partisan legisla-
tive caucuses on religious liberty in every state. Michael Schuttloffel is the Executive Director of the Kansas Catholic Conference, and has been very involved with the Kansas legislative caucus. Mark Hutchison is a State Senator from Nevada, and has been active in promoting bi-partisan efforts concerning religious liberty. The approximate 100 attendees of the Symposium included judges, attorneys, professors, religious leaders and students. Ryan Anderson, a Chapman law student said, “I found the symposium very interesting and really learned a lot”. The speakers explained that many of the religious liberty issues currently being faced by our society are directly impacted by state legislatures, and that there is a real need for non-partisan state legislative caucuses to address these issues for the benefit of people of all faiths. “A high percentage of religious freedom threats materialize in the states”, said Schultz, “but states have not been as quick to recognize that this is something they will have to confront.” The panel emphasized that there is a vacuum of reli-

Fabie Combs Crowned Ms. Senior Orange County Fabie Combs, from Yorba Linda, was crowned Ms. Senior Orange County 2013 at the third of eight preliminary pageants for the Ms. Senior California Pageant held Saturday, April 6, 2013 at the Norman P. Murray Community Center in Mission Viejo. Along with first runner up Suzanne MillhollenGoodrich from Rancho Santa Margarita, Combs will now advance to the State Pageant to compete for the title of Ms. Senior California in August. The Ms. Senior California State Pageant will be at the Rose Center Theater in Westminster on Saturday, August 31, 2013. Second runner-up was Elaine Brammel from Carlsbad and Carol Hess from Long Beach took home the trophy for the talent competition with her song, “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from “Funny Girl.” Throughout the competition, the contestants competed in four categories including: Personal Interview, Evening Gown, Philosophy of Life and Talent. Comb’s walk across the stage to accept the sash and trophy marked her first steps on a journey that will take her from spotlight to spotlight representing the American woman 60 years of age and up who has reached the ‘age of elegance’. Combs, a resident of Yorba Linda, has given hours of volunteer time to organizations such as the Tustin Hospital, KOCE TV Pledge Drive, Continental Cablevision, and is a board member and President of her local homeowners association. She is a member of the Tapestry Christian Fellowship. In 2002 she was selected to carry the Olympic torch because of her community service. Over the years, she has received many awards for her volunteer work. She’s been a flight attendant, a marketing rep with the Polaroid Corporation, has run corporate events, and owned her own production company, Won Lord Productions where she has aired 22 television shoes. Fabie is married with one child and two grandchildren. For her talent portion of the pageant, Combs played a Flamenco guitar arrangement of Malaguena – an arrangement she created. Combs is a self-taught guitarist. The Ms. Senior America Pageant is the world’s first and foremost pageant to emphasize and give honor to women who have reached the ‘Age of Elegance’. It is a search for the gracious lady who best exemplifies the dignity, maturity and inner beauty of all Baby Boomer and Senior women. The Ms. Senior America philosophy is based upon the belief that Baby Boomers and seniors are the foundation of America, and one of our country’s most valuable resources. Women and men alike of these generations inspire their peers and younger generations to stay vital and connected to life! It is also upon their knowledge, wisdom and experience that younger generations have the opportunity to build a better society. The next preliminary pageant will be the Ms. Senior San Diego pageant on April 26, 2013 at the Paradise Village Retirement Community in National City. If you are interested in being a contestant in San Diego, please contact Peggy Padilla at Peggy.100@att.net or call (760) 431-9275. Sponsors of the Ms. Senior California Pageant include: Emeritus Senior Living, Kaiser Permanente – Medicare & State Programs, the City of Mission Viejo, and Paradise Village of National City. For more information on becoming a sponsor of the Ms. Senior California Pageant Program, contact Pamela Wheeler, California State Pageant Director and CEO of the Ms. Senior California 501(c)3 organization at pwheeler94@cox.net. Dr. Al Mott, in the state of New Jersey in 1972, started the Senior America Pageant Program. In 1986, the California Chapter was created under the leadership of Ms. Elda Barry of Long Beach. She led the chapter until her retirement in 1999. In 2000, Marilyn McCabe Kohler accepted the position of Director of Ms. Senior California. Since that time, the program has grown from one pageant to seven Preliminary Pageants and one Annual State Pageant. Upon Kohler’s retirement, leadership of the California Program is now under the direction of Wheeler. Page 12

GRADUATION RATES CONTINUE TO CLIMB FOR CAPISTRANO UNIFIED Class of 2012 Improves High School Completion Rates Nearly 97 percent of Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) students who entered high school in 2008 have earned their high school diploma, according to data released today by the California Department of Education (CDE). The 96.9 percent graduation rate for the Class of 2012 ranks second among Orange County school districts. The same group of students had a dropout rate of 1.8 percent. Additionally, .9 percent of students completed the requirements for a special education certificate of completion and .4 percent were still enrolled in school at the time the data was collected. The Class of 2011 had a 96.5 percent graduation rate. “Each June, the community’s commitment to quality education is illustrated when thousands of young men and women receive acknowledgement of their academic preparation by graduating from our high schools,” Board President John M. Alpay said. “It is exhilarating to know when a student enters our high schools as freshmen, our teachers and principals work hard with their families to ensure
that they not only graduate, but are prepared for success.” Overall, the Class of 2012 began with 3,920 students. Of those, 3,798 graduated with a high school diploma and 36 received a special education certificate of completion. There are 14 students still enrolled and working on completing the requirements for a high school diploma. There were 71 who left without completing their education. “There are great things happening in California’s schools every day, and the upward climb of our graduation rate bears that out,” State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said in a statement. “While I am glad to announce that we are moving in the right direction, the fact remains that we must keep moving to ensure that every California student graduates ready to succeed in the world they will find outside our classrooms.” Graduation and dropout rates were calculated based on four-year cohort information using the state’s California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS). This is the third time this four-year cohort information was calculated, meaning data
may only be compared accurately over the three-year period from 2009-10 to 2 0 11 - 1 2 . Graduation and dropout rates used different calculation systems in previous years and cannot be compared to the cohort rates. CUSD is one of the more successful school systems in the state when it comes to ensuring students receive a high school diploma. Statewide, 78.5 percent of students in the Class of 2012 have graduated, while 13.2 percent have dropped out. In Orange County, 85.3 percent of this group received a high school diploma, while 9.1 percent dropped out. The state also released the annual dropout rate for students in grades
nine through 12. In the 2011-2012 school year, 132 students out of 16,899 dropped out, for a rate of .8 percent. This data differs from the rates given for the Class of 2012 in that it only reviews the annual dropout rate and does not evaluate the entire four years of a high school class. Data on individual CUSD schools can be found on the CDE DataQuest website.
Cookies sought for Mission Viejo’s Marines
Local acts sought for Mission Viejo’s Got Talent competition
The city’s Marine Adoption Committee is putting out a call for cookies to distribute to military members and their families during the committee’s annual spring Family Day at Lake Mission Viejo. Over the past few years, cookie drives have resulted in donations of several thousand cookies from residents who heeded the call to celebrate April’s character quality of “service” by serving those who serve. The city will host Family Day later this month at Lake Mission Viejo for roughly 1,200 Marines, Sailors and family members from the Headquarters Battalion of the 1st Marine Division. “The annual goal of 10,000 cookies provides cookies and smiles for the day; some are sent home and some are sent overseas,” said the city’s Tammy Descoteaux. “But all are always appreciated as they hit home with the troops.” Cookies – whether homemade or store bought – are sought along with Rice Krispie treats. Folks interested in donating cookies can deliver them with their name/group name and number of cookies attached to the second floor of City Hall by 3 p.m. on Friday, April 26. City Hall is at 200 Civic Center. For more information, contact Tammy Descoteaux at tdescoteaux@cityofmissionviejo. org or 949-470-3094.
If you’ve ever dreamt of being on stage, now’s your chance. The Mission Viejo Community of Character Committee is seeking local talent of all types to compete in the 4th Annual “Mission Viejo’s Got Talent” show. The talent competition is a fundraiser for the committee’s Relay for Life “Goin’ Bananas for a Cure” team. Also dubbed “Performance with a Purpose,” this event gives folks an opportunity to take part in the 19th annual Mission Viejo Relay for Life weekend fundraiser in June that benefits the American Cancer Society. Auditions for the talent contest will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, April 12. The fun-filled competition is open to all ages and has attracted auditions from people ages 4 to 80. For an application and more information, contact Tammy Descoteaux at 949-470-3094 or tdescoteaux@cityofmissionviejo.org.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-12-532049-JB . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-12-531437-JB . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

The Kidsters Childcare and School-Readiness Program Fristers, a nonprofit that assists teen moms to become self-sufficient through education, support, and community referrals, has added a new school-readiness program for the children of teen moms.The Kidsters Childcare and School-Readiness Program is offered simultaneously with the LifeCoach program for teen moms, and is available to all moms enrolled in LifeCoach. Teen mothers rarely, if ever, put their children into preschool because they cannot afford it. But studies show there are great benefits to preschool, which extend far beyond Kindergarten. Children who attend preschool are less likely to require special education, more likely to graduate from high school and, as adults, enjoy higher earnings. Children who attend preschool gain a sense of self, increase self-control, and build confidence in their ability to do things for themselves. Today’s Kindergarten curriculum is focused on academics from day one. Without preschool, many children struggle to adapt to the classroom while those who attended preschool are usually ready to learn. “We have a crucial window of op-
portunity to directly invest in the lives of these children while their mothers entrust them to us during the LifeCoach program,” according to Ali Woodard, Executive Director of Fristers. “The Kidsters Program will ensure that their time with us is quality time that gives them a healthy launch into life and education.” Fristers helps young moms learn how to first love and respect themselves while learning how to love and take care of their children. Fristers provides a full array of classes on topics from self-esteem to parenting, and helps teen moms set and achieve goals that will improve their lives and the lives of their children. Some examples are finishing high-school, enrolling in vocational training school and getting a job. Offering these services led to a need for Kidsters, as most teen mothers have no money for a baby-sitter and often have little parental support due to the high rate of abandonment that comes with being an unwed teen mother. Kidsters gives teen mothers a safe childcare option so that they can fully devote themselves to learning and growing during the LifeCoach
program. It offers academic lessons, activities, games and crafts that promote growth for each child socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically. Fristers was formed in 2008 to provide education, access to resources, role models and support to teen mothers, within a unique program that takes into consideration their age and maturity level as teenagers. Fristers assists with transportation to and from program meetings and provides dinners for mothers and children. More than 600 young mothers and children
are served annually through Fristers. All programs and services are free of charge and provided to the community regardless of religion, race, or ethnicity. In 2010 Orange County had 2,479 teen births within that year alone, ranking Orange County #5 in highest number of total teen births of all California counties. For more information about this program contact Ali Woodard at 949-675-3935 or visit the website at www.fristers.org.
