Ladera Ranch Middle School Students to Attempt New World Record on June 5 The Ladera Ranch Middle School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) received formal authorization this week from the Guinness Book of World Records for students to attempt to break the world record for landing a Kendama move. Kendama is a traditional Japanese toy consisting of a ken (sword) and tama (ball) connected by a string. The ken has three cups and a spike which fits into the hole in the ball. Kendama bears similarities to the classic cup-and-ball game, and the Hispanic world toy known as boliche or balero. The principle of these toys are the same: catching one object with another, where both are joined by a string. However the modern kendama style takes influences from a diverse range of skills including yo-yo, diabolo, juggling and dance. The PTA is now working with the school ASB, global communications and yearbook to organize the on campus event which will take place during lunch on Friday, June 5. For more information, contact Ladera Ranch Middle School at 949.234.5922.

CAPISTRANO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNOUNCES RESIDENCE CHECK PROCESS FOR LADERA RANCH SCHOOLS The Capistrano Unified School District announced to families at four Ladera Ranch schools that the district will implement residence checks to confirm enrollment at the schools for the 2015-2016 school year. In a letter sent home Friday, May 8 to families currently attending Chaparral Elementary, Oso Grande Elementary, Ladera Ranch Elementary and Ladera Ranch Middle schools, CUSD stated it will rigorously enforce student residency requirements in Ladera Ranch. The residency verification is necessary due to the popularity of these outstanding schools, known for their high academic achievement and
parent involvement, and the impact of non-approved, non-resident students attending the schools. “While we support the opportunity for CUSD families to choose where to send their children to school, this must be done through an approved process that ensures placement for students living within an attendance boundary to enroll at their assigned school,” said Superintendent Kirsten Vital. “Unfortunately, we have reached a point where we are at capacity at some of our sites, in particular the Ladera Ranch schools, and the assigned attendance areas.” need to verify that students actually School residency requires that a attending these schools reside within student physically resides within the assigned attendance area of a given school. Families at each of the Ladera Ranch schools are required to submit two acceptable forms of residency verification by May 22, 2015. In addition to the residency verification, the district will use an address verification company and private investigator to enforce compliance. A new anonymous report of suspected falsification of residency, which can be accessed on the district’s website at http://capousd.ca.schoolloop.com,
has also been implemented. Students not residing within the attendance area, or not already approved to attend schools through the district’s School of Choice program, will be reassigned to their school of residence for the 2015-2016 school year. “Ladera Ranch is fortunate to have some of the finest schools in California. These schools have attracted families residing outside the community, resulting in an impact on school capacity,” said Vital. “This residence check process will ensure that families living within the Ladera Ranch area are able to attend these fine schools.”
Family Fun Around the Grill Preparing a meal on the grill can be fun for the whole family. Gather the kids and get them involved in the meal from start to finish for an easy way to spend more quality time together. Rebecca P. Cohen, author of “15 Minutes Outside: 365 Ways to Get Out of the House and Connect with Your Kids,” is a big believer in spending time outdoors together as a family. “We make a point of getting outside every day. Spending quality time as a family is important, and centering that time around an outdoor activity like grilling is a great way to do that,” says Cohen. Cohen offers some tips for enjoying fun outdoor meals with the family:
Create a topping bar – Set out a plastic tablecloth and some kidfriendly dipping sauces, condiments and toppings, such as ketchup, grated cheese, mayonnaise, hummus and more. Have the kids prepare their favorite dipping sauces and toppings and line them up in colorful bowls. Make the meal grill-friendly – Look for foods and recipes that can be prepared directly on the grill, such as New Ore-Ida® Grillers. These thickcut, round slices of potato go from Page 4
freezer to grill, where they cook in just 15 minutes and serve as a perfect side dish that goes hand in hand with your favorite toppings and dipping sauces. This way, you can spend less time inside preparing and more time outside enjoying! Make it fun – What’s a cookout without family fun? Make the most of your cook time by incorporating some simple yet fun activities. Try racing with ice cubes on your spoons or tossing a refreshing ice cube back and forth. For more cool fun, freeze fruit juice in ice cube containers with popsicle sticks for a refreshing treat. Enjoy a grill-side snack – Plan a special late night snack with s’mores on the grill. Try flavored marshmallows like chocolate, strawberry and toasted coconut, or spice up the graham crackers with sprinkled cinnamon and sugar. Try to name the constellations while you enjoy a late night snack together under the stars. Who doesn’t want an extra fifteen minutes to spend with family and friends? Get them around the grill using these and other recipes from www.OreIda.com. Glazed Chicken and Grillers Prep time: 3 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes

Protect your eyes year-round from UV exposure Eye protection may not be a top priority for people when they are going about their daily lives, but it should be. Protecting your sense of sight is extremely important and often overlooked. All individuals should protect their eyes so they can stay sharp whether they’re on a snowy mountain-top, watching a football game, or simply driving to work. Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Wearing a pair of comfortable sunglasses while you are staying active outdoors will not only prevent eye strains and squinting - which will help keep you looking younger, longer - but can actually help protect eyes from cataracts, keratitis and other eye ailments as well. When selecting sunglasses, look for a pair that will be lightweight and
durable, so it will be comfortable to wear, and hold up to your daily activities. Charmant Titanium Polarized Sunglasses for example, are made with pure titanium, a hypoallergenic metal that is 48 percent lighter than conventional metals and is perfect for all seasons. Titanium is used in everything from airplanes to surgical instruments, so you know it will last in a sunglass. To protect the delicate eye area, look for a lens that has UVA and UVB protection as well as a polarized lens to reduce glare, which is much more harmful when it’s reflected off of the snow. Make sure your lenses offer the best visibility possible so they don’t interfere with your activities. Lenses with anti-smudge, anti-static, and water-repelling properties keep the lenses free of debris that can block your vision. Invest in your sight. Your vision has an important role in maintaining your active lifestyle. Invest in your sight by ensuring you wear the best in corrective lenses and sunwear for you. Many people need their vision corrected through eye glasses or contact lenses. If you choose contact lenses, wearing sunglasses to prevent glare and protect your eyes from UV light is still very important. If you prefer to wear eye glasses, a pair of prescription sunglasses is ideal, to be worn whenever you are outside in daylight. These prescription sunglasses will provide the best possible coverage in sunlight while also correcting your vision. Either way, one should look for a quality pair of sunglasses that will provide consistent optical clarity throughout the lens, and a durable
frame that will last. Don’t forget to protect the sensitive skin around your eyes as well with a sunscreen that has at least SPF 30. Even if the sun isn’t shining bright the UV rays can still penetrate the cloud cover. Make a broad sweep. Sometimes one layer of protection just isn’t enough. If you have fair skin, or light colored eyes, you may want to wear a hat in conjunction with sunglasses on a regular basis. These physical traits are more prone to skin cancer and sun-causing eye disease. Although sunglasses do wonders in protecting the eyes, UV rays can still reach the eyes and the surrounding skin through the sides and top of the sunglasses. Wearing a hat will help to reduce the sun exposure and prevent uncomfortable eye strain. A wide brim hat offers sun protection to your skin as well as eyes, creating natural shade and reducing strain. Choose a hat with a dark, non-reflective underside of the brim. This will help reduce UV glare from reflective surfaces like water or snow. Staying active is great for your overall health, but be sure that you are safely engaging in activities. Taking steps to strengthen and protect your vision will help ensure that your eyes will be safe and healthy for years to come.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

R i c h F e ll e r s a n d F l e x i bl e C o n t i n u e to Im p r e ss in the $60,000 Grand Prix of California
Rich Fellers and Flexible Photos by: CapturedMomentPhoto.com Fan favorites and famously talented duo Flexible and Rich Fellers thrilled a crowd of spectators, taking the victory in the highlight event of the week, the $60,000 Grand Prix of California, presented by Equ Lifestyle Boutique. Back for the third time as master builder for the Ranch & Coast Classic, Texan course designer Oscar Soberon is quite familiar with the challenges of building for this class. After Thursday’s tight and technical Markel Insurance Grand Prix track, Soberon planned today’s course with less technical emphasis. The 16-element course with a time allowed of 84 seconds presented plenty of tests for the experienced field. “It’s a $60,000 class, so it’s tougher than Thursday because of the height, but it’s not as tricky. I do think there are questions everywhere; from fence one, which is a wall, to a lot of fences with solid rails, which are always difficult to jump,” he explained. “The combination of white and black rails is also tough. I hope we get to see between four and six clear. “ Soberon was right on - just like Thursday’s class, once again five entries earned a spot in the jump-off. From the promising skills of young Hannah Heidegger to World Cup Champion Rich Fellers, the five riders were no strangers to questions of speed and scope. The jump-off track incorporated new fences interwoven with tricky components from the first
round to truly test the competitors’ finesse. Seasoned partners Josephina Nor Lantzman and Chello Z (owned by Josephina Nor Stables, LLC) returned first, stopping the timers in 40.97 seconds, but with a rail at fence 8 for four faults. Hannah Heidegger and Axl Rose (Monarch International, owner) had 12 faults in 45.99 seconds, leaving the field open for veterans Fellers and Flexible (owned by Harry & Mollie Chapman). Shaving over half a second off Lantzman’s leading time in 40.27, Fellers also had an unlucky rail but took over the lead. Eric Navet aboard Signe Ostby’s Jonkheer Z also had a rail at fence 8 in 43.72 seconds. Allyssa Hecht and Neaulani Farms’ Calero, who recently finished second in the Spring Classic II Grand Prix in April, had an unfortunate circle at 8 and ended with 24 faults in 64.67 seconds. Fellers and Flexible took their victory gallop to enthusiastic fan applause, with Nor Lantzman in second and Navet rounding out the top three. The win continued a Del Mar streak of success for the 19-yearold Irish Sporthorse stallion and the ever-humble Fellers, having recently earned second in last week’s $100,000 Grand Prix at the Del Mar National. Showpark’s spacious field is a favorite for the beloved duo, who especially enjoyed the grassy gallop after the tight indoor setting at the 2015 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Final.
“It is always lovely to jump on this field; it’s a super field and great preparation for Spruce Meadows,” Fellers commented. “This course designer knows what he’s doing. I was really happy with Flexible - he rode great, jumped great and had a light rub and got a fence down, and he still ended up winning, so I feel very fortunate.” When asked about potential goals for the 2016 FEI World Cup™ Jumping Final, Fellers has the spunky chestnut’s health as the top priority. “I don’t think we’ll be going [to the Final]. I really feel like he has more wins in him at 1.60m, but to ask him to go that many days in a row wipes him out a bit,” he explained. “Flexible always tries hard, but that’s when horses get hurt - when they try so hard and their bodies are fatigued. I just think at his age, he deserves to have a break from that kind of regime.” The up-and-coming young equine talent kicked off the afternoon of show jumping in Del Mar. With thirteen entries in the jump-off, nearly half of the class of twenty-nine came back in a battle for the blue ribbon, as the top five placings turned in quick and clean double-clear rounds. Winners of the season’s inaugural $25,000 Markel Insurance Grand Prix during the Spring Fling, Nayel Nassar and his own Acita are an impressive pair. They stopped the jump-off clock with a clean round in a fast 35.97 seconds to take home the top honors, while Andrew Kocher and his own
Venetto were second and Ray Texel aboard Leslie Nelson’s Coupis were third. “I think this is a great division for up-and-coming horses. We had a big jump-off today which got very fast, and luckily I have a very talented 8-year-old who could answer all the questions I asked of her,” Nayel said, praising his Holsteiner mare. “She’s careful, scopey, has a big stride, and goes in a snaffle. There’s not much more you can ask for, and I’m excited for her future.” The Juniors and Amateurs take the Sunday stage in their respective Classics to finish the Ranch & Coast Classic. The May horse shows in Del Mar wrap up with the Showpark June Jamboree from May 28th-31st, then return to San Juan Capistrano for the June Classic series.

Throw a perfect party - without costs and clutter
Whether it’s your child’s birthday or your relatives are flying in from overseas to take part in a family reunion, your life is filled with special events worth celebrating. Of course, you’d love to salute every one of them with a once-in-a-lifetime party, but how do you do that without winding up with a garage filled with party clutter that you’ll never use again and an empty wallet? It’s easier than you think. Celebrating that special event doesn’t have to break the bank or leave you the not-so-proud owner of items you’ll have no use for once the party is over. There is another solution: rent what you need. You’ll wow your guests and save money in the process. Not sure what can be rented? Here are some ideas to create a party beyond your guests’ wildest expectations. Create the perfect environment Many party planners feel constrained by the materials they already own when hosting a party, but the truth is renting opportunities allow you to create an atmosphere limited only by your imagination. If you’re looking to hold your party Page 8
outside, rent a tent. Your area rental business will have tents available in all shapes, sizes and styles, allowing you to pick the perfect one for your event. Heating and cooling units are also available so your guests will always be comfortable, regardless of weather conditions.
The Ladera Ranch News
You’ll also be able to rent tables and chairs, saving you from having to try and borrow these items or, worse yet, buying more for this one occasion. It creates a more relaxing atmosphere for your guests and they’ll be able to sit and rest rather than having to stand up throughout the event. For a more formal affair, your local rental store can also provide linens, table service and stemware to complete your look. This will keep you from having to use disposables or from washing dishes when the event is finished, allowing you to relax and enjoy your company. Wow them with food If you’re in charge of planning the party, you’ve probably been nervously pondering what you will do about the food. No other party aspect requires so much work, and often you still find yourself eating leftovers for weeks. But rental stores offer several options that will help you wow your guests and indulge them at the same time. Keeping foods the perfect temperature is always a challenge when hosting an event, but there are some great options available for rent. An ice table is a great way to keep things chilled in the summer heat, preventing undesirable illness. For hot foods, chafers will keep main dishes hot for hours so guests can eat at their leisure. When it comes to that main course, grilling allows you to feed a lot of people with minimal prep work. But what if you don’t have a grill? You can always rent one. Many rental facilities
offer grills of varying sizes, allowing you the chance to pick the right grill for your event. Consider renting a popcorn machine for your party. People get hungry at different times and a popcorn machine allows your guests to serve themselves and munch on this delicious snack while they wait for the main course. Activities for kids of any age Whether it’s a birthday party, a family reunion or some other gathering, odds are children will be at your party. If your venue lacks the appropriate activities to entertain kids for the long haul, consult your area rental facility for options. An inflatable bounce house will keep your youngest guests entertained for hours while obstacle courses or laser tag are great options for your teenage guests. And the biggest kids at your event will enjoy a casino night with the games you rented. If you’re expecting a large number of children at that family reunion, you may also consider renting a helium tank and providing balloons for your younger guests. The kids will be entertained, and you’ll save yourself from being out of breath all afternoon. Chances are you know what that next once-in-a-lifetime event in your family is. The only question is, how will you celebrate it? Consult your local rental facility or visit RentalHQ. com for more ideas. You’ll quickly learn that the only limit to planning your next party is your imagination.

If the idea of longer, warmer days has you reaching for the tongs, it’s time to get your grilling game on before the season is in full swing. Serving family and friends the most mouth-watering grilled entrees with ease requires a little know-how and a few crowd-pleasing recipes. From versatile chicken to hearty ribs to tender seafood, it’s never been more fun to incorporate new flavors into grilled cuisine. For the best results on the grill, keep these tips in mind: • A grill is not an oven, so don’t walk away from it when it’s on. Organize what you’ll need ahead of time; no running back and forth. • Always scrape hot grill grates clean with a wire brush so food will release more easily. Before cooking, try using tongs to dip paper towels lightly into oil and swipe over the grates. • If the meat or skin sticks, it’s not ready to be turned. Let it sit for another minute or two. • Try chicken thighs, which have a deeper, richer flavor than breast meat. • The pork tenderloin can withstand the dry heat of the grill and stay moist.
• Salmon, tuna and swordfish steaks grill well because they are thick and crumble less than other types of fish. • A safe inside temperature for ground beef is 160°F; medium steaks is 140°F. Heat poultry to 165°F and whole cuts like breasts to 170°F. Medium pork should be 150°F. Seafood should be 145°F. • For maximum flavor and juiciness, let meat rest 5-10 minutes before cutting or serving. Another tasty grilling tip is to add flavor with sauce. Molasses Apple Butter BBQ Sauce for Chicken Servings: 4 For up to 2 pounds of chicken 1/2 cup Apple Butter 1/4 cup molasses 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Brush sauce over chicken in the final 5 minutes of grilling. Additional sauce can be served at the table. Citrus Apple Butter Glaze for Seafood Servings: 4 For up to 4 fish fillets or 2 pounds
of shrimp 1/2 cup Apple Butter 2 tablespoons orange juice 2 tablespoons lime juice Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Cook one side of seafood (skin side down). Brush glaze generously on top. Flip seafood and cook until done. Discard any remaining sauce. Asian Apple Butter Grilling Sauce for Pork Servings: 4 For up to 2 pounds of pork tenderloin or ribs
1/2 cup Apple Butter 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons honey 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Lightly brush or mop sauce over pork during entire grilling time, so sauce slowly cooks into pork. Discard any remaining sauce.
Capistrano Unified School District Announces Early, Pre-Labor Day Starts for Next Two Academic Years The Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) announced earlier pre-Labor Day start dates for its next two academic years. The Board of Trustees recently approved starting the 2016-2017 school year on Monday, August 15, 2016. This follows the previously announced Tuesday, August 25, 2015, start date for the 2015-2016 school year. The earlier start in 2016 will align the calendars of CUSD’s elementary, secondary and adult transition programs with local colleges and Orange County school districts and eliminate breaks in the flow of classroom instruction. “The Board of Trustees has taken a major step forward in optimizing instructional time for our students and teachers and facilitating opportunities for academic growth,” said Superintendent Kirsten M. Vital. “Starting the school year before Labor Day will ensure the most continuous instructional period that Capistrano Unified School District has had in years. With the semester now ending before winter break, we have lessened the number of breaks in instructional time within a particular course of study, and our students, teachers, and their families will now Page 10
be able to enjoy a ‘true’ break, with the semester ending at the winter break.” In addition to the elementary, secondary and adult transition program calendars being brought into alignment, the CUSD and Saddleback College instructional calendars will also now align. This will better position CUSD students to take advanced coursework and participate in a wider range of summer programs
The Ladera Ranch News
offered at the college. Students in Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs will also benefit by receiving additional direct instruction during the school year to optimize instructional opportunities prior to testing. This schedule will also better align with post-secondary programs, allowing our graduating seniors to participate in graduation ceremonies as well as
college transition activities. “Prioritizing instructional time in the classroom is a top priority,” said CUSD Board President Lynn Hatton-Hodson, “and it is incumbent upon the Board of Trustees to facilitate as much of that quality education time as possible to ensure an environment most conducive to student achievement.”

MISSION VIEJO, SADDLEBACK VALLEY ELKS HOLD CARNIVAL for special needs kids
Elroy the Elk made an appearance and helped the Elks members make their Special Needs Children’s Carnival a big success. Over thirty (30) boys and girls along with their parents and grandparents attended. The special needs children were from Cordillera, Melinda Heights, Montevideo and Valencia Elementary Schools in the Saddleback Valley Unified School District. The youngsters frolicked in the Elks Lodge rooms and garden which were all colorfully decorated with an assortment of game booths, food stations, balloons, a duck pond, and puppy petting zoo. Face painters, clowns, live cartoon characters, including Elroy the Elk and Elmo made sure that every child had a happy afternoon. Chairing the carnival were Elks Les and Maggie Stipek.

2015’s Swimwear Guide Swimsuit trends are always fun to look at each year, and 2014’s gear is no exception. This year creativity has reached a new level with swimwear that will catch your eye. Some of the trends will have you giving a double-take, and others’ will not leave much to the imagination. Here are the trends for this year’s swimsuit season! Crochet swimwear This is one of my favorite trends for this season. Crochet pieces are
absolutely beautiful, but the artwork of the crochet swimwear is stunning. There are fresh ideas out there that are full of color. Some are bikinis, but surprisingly, there are some really beautiful one piece crochet looks. Cultural notes This year’s swimsuit detailing pulls from the Native American heritage it seems. There is a lot of beading, fringe, tribal influences, and color reminiscent of the Indian culture. Although some pieces are breathtaking, be careful when you pick one out that the beading isn’t too cheap looking. Mesh Many swimsuits are taking on more mesh for 2014. It may seem inspired by a figure skating costume, but I like to think it is way hotter! And even though the fabric pieces seem to be skimpier when covering private areas, the mesh covering the stomach area may give some women more confidence in this year’s trend. It’s the next best thing to a bikini. Athletic wear/rash guard style Sporty looks have also made their way into 2014’s swimsuit line. In case you don’t have enough crop tops for
body type, so I suggest making sure you look good in a high waist before going out and buying one. Go bold with color There are so many styles to pick from this year, and after you decide what you want, go ahead and pick out one with extreme colors. This year’s trend is all about bold statements through print and color, so finding a swimsuit you are comfortable in is important!
this year, the swimsuit trendsetters have begun selling swimsuits that come with crop tops. The rash guard style is also making headlines, and bringing a surfing feel to the everyday swimwear. There are some really cool designs with long sleeved tops with cut outs. High-waist bottoms The classic high-waist is not only popping up in shorts, but it has made its way into swimwear. The modern take on this oldie pairs a simple bra top with a high-waist bottom. It’s a very elegant way to pull off a trend for 2014. This style isn’t for every
Fundraising for school? What you should know When kids go back to school, fundraising by parent-teacher organizations and booster clubs kicks into high gear. Hard-working parent volunteers host bake sales, festivals and myriad other events to raise funds for schools. But what if the worst happens and someone gets hurt? You may think the school will be liable to pay damages or medical expenses for injured parties, but in most cases volunteers themselves are on the hook. PTAs, PTOs, booster clubs, fundraising committees and other community organizations are, 98 percent of the time, not covered by a school district’s insurance policies. When a lawsuit occurs as a result of something that happens at an event, the private citizens running the event and organization can find their personal assets at risk home, vehicles, personal savings and even future wages. In trying to support their school financially, parents may find their own finances jeopardized. When a situation occurs, organizers may not only be at risk from legal action by injured parties, the school district itself may also draw the organization into legal problems, and while this type of lawsuit is not necessarily frequent, when they do occur the financial impact can be devastating, with awards tallying millions of dollars.
That’s not to say you shouldn’t volunteer to support your school. It’s just imperative that you take steps to protect yourself and everyone in your organization. And while anyone can sue for any reason at any time in the U.S., regardless of state volunteer protection laws, protecting yourself can go a long way toward reducing your risks. Some advice for school volunteer groups to ensure they stay safer this school year: * Get insured. Your school district’s insurance almost certainly doesn’t cover your organization. Insurance is easy to get, affordable and absolutely necessary. In most cases, less than $200 a year will buy you $1 million in coverage for issues ranging from bodily injury to product liability. Types of events/situations that require insurance include carnival rides or games, -holiday fairs or events, babysitting, food sales, door-to-door fundraising sales and more. Log on to www.rvnuccio.com to learn more and find out about pricing. * When using an outside vendor for attractions like pony rides or bounce houses, make sure the vendor is properly insured, and require them to provide trained staff to operate the attraction. Never let a volunteer manage the attraction. * Keep events on school property. Never host something at a volunteer’s
home or place of business. * For product sales, avoid door-todoor selling, and encourage parents to never leave kids unsupervised when selling products. * During car washes, never let anyone other than the owner of the vehicle drive it. Keep car washes small, manageable and tightly controlled. * At a craft fair, don’t sell items that are small enough to pass through a child choke testing tube. You can find these available for purchase online. * Avoid dunk tanks. Instead, substitute another form of watery fun. Invite participants to throw wet sponges at the principal or favorite teacher. Be sure the principal wears
safety goggles to shield eyes from possible debris in the sponge. * Keep events small. Avoid events that will draw 1,000 or more people. The larger the event, the more difficult it will be to manage risk. Finally, although it should go without saying, never host any school-related activity that involves firearms, fireworks, bonfires, alcohol or pyrotechnics. The risks associated with those things will far outweigh the fund-raising benefits. Proactive steps can help ensure your school fundraiser is safe for everyone, including the volunteers who work so hard to make it a success.
