Giving from the heart: Create meaningful, personalized gifts that are quick and easy to make Giving from the heart: Simple Kiosk. In various formats and sizes
tips for creating personalized gifts with deep meaning It’s that time of year to recognize the important people in your life. From Mother’s Day and Father’s Day to weddings and graduations, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate your loved ones. But this year, don’t fall into the trap of giving generic cards and gifts that are often discarded. It’s easier than ever to create a special present that comes from the heart, for any occasion. Personalization is a leading gifting trend, meaning more people are skipping generic gift options and creating sentimental presents that instantly become cherished keepsakes. Gifts that convey meaning and embrace special memories are sure to make a lasting impression. Even for the most time-starved among us, the following quick and easy ideas are guaranteed to make your loved one smile: One-of-a-kind card: Make her blush or brighten his day with a customized card that features fun photos and a touching message. Creating a wonderful, one-of-a-kind creation takes just a few minutes when you take your camera or photo card to the nearest KODAK Picture
for less than $2.00, photo cards are very affordable and have loads of sentimental value. Choose from tons of exclusive modern, creative layouts from designers like Bonnie Marcus to delight every parent, grad or bride-tobe in your life. Personalized flowerpot: Beautiful blooms and warm weather are the perfect pairing, and giving flowers is always a classic gift. But why not take it one step further and make a personalized flowerpot that can be used season after season? Perfect for Mom, Grandma or anyone with a green thumb, flowerpots can be decorated with a favorite photo and then painted for a one-of-akind homemade design. Finish by adorning with a colorful bow that matches the beautiful blooms held within the pot. Photo collages: A carefully crafted photo collage of special images can make a stunning gift that tugs at the heartstrings and only takes minutes to make. Thanks to advanced printing technology, you can skip the scissors and paste and create a professional-looking collage for less at your local photo printer. For mothers, add photos of special family moments from a recent vacation, or
for grads, add photos from different grades as way to reflect on how quickly time flies. Place the collage in a frame and pair it with a card for a gift that will be cherished long after the party is over. Creative handprints: Every person’s hand and fingerprints are unique - use them to create crafty gifts that convey the special love your family shares for each other. Hand impressions in clay stepping stones make unique presents that can be placed in a garden or displayed on a shelf. Or, adorn a family picture with a matte featuring the kids’ handprints. Use paint or ink and carefully press hands to the matte so it doesn’t smudge. You might want to try a few times on a practice piece of paper first before adding handprints to the matte. Choose one color or let kids each pick
their own favorite hue to represent their unique personalities. Photo blocks: Impress loved ones young and old by creating special photo blocks that display favorite images from the past year. Start by buying wood blocks at your local craft store. Usually four or five is a good amount. Then order prints - any time, anywhere by downloading the free My KODAK Moments App, which makes it easy to access images from your phone or social media sites like Facebook or Instagram. Once materials are collected, cut each photo to the block size and attach with spray adhesive. Add a special message on the corner of each block with a marker or stamp. Some people write out “mama,” “love” or another special word to add a personalized touch to this easy-tomake project.

Mother’s Day Proclamation 1870 by Mary Langenback Every one of us has had or has a mother or step mother, at some point in our lives. Mothers day has been celebrated since the early 1900’s. Although my own mother has passed away and I have no children of my own, I still remember her wonderful influence on my life. In celebration of mother’s day I wanted to learn about the history of mother’s day and was surprised to find out that it was originally a woman’s reaction to war. Julia Ward Howe, herself influenced by a one Anna Jarvis who sought to improve sanitation through “Mother’s Work days” in the mid 1850’s. So originally Mother’s day was a day for Mothers to work to improve the lives of those around them. Julia Ward Howe, who lived through the Civil War, saw it as the only way to attempt to stop men from warring with each other. Call it what you will, but her idea was a day of peace. In 1870 she gave a proclamation (Read in full at: http://womenshistory.about.com/ od/howejwriting/a/mothers_day.htm) for women to take counsel together after mourning their dead and to make an attempt to influence those around them, especially their family members, to do all they can to stop war and live at peace with their brothers and sisters around the globe. It was to be remembered that war has many other side effects than just the funerals during and afterward. There was an emotional effect upon women all over the world, crying for their dead, some who had depended upon those men for support, in societies that do not allow women to work. Some of these women with no men to depend on must get married to men they don’t like, or go into prostitution for survival. The effect also was (and is) economic, men in the 1800’s were
The Ladera Ranch News
the primary bread winners even here in America. Mothers day was first celebrated in a small church, the church in Virginia where Anna Jarvis’ daughter attended. Soon this holiday spread to most of the other 48 continental states. By 1920 it had been celebrated as a national holiday. Slowly, but surely we have stripped it of its original meaning, and have continued to war against ourselves (even our own family members and neighbors) and those of other countries. Even now we are at war in several places in the middle east. Our sons, and husbands, and fathers and lovers have gone off to war and this month we are going to sit at home with those who have stayed behind and celebrate the fact that we, or our relatives and friends, are mothers. Some husbands and families will cry (inside at least), because now there are some mothers at war. We have come a long, long way and it is so very, very sad to say where we have ended up. We celebrate, adore, worship, and
congratulate the mothers, the first time mothers, the oldest mother’s, the youngest mothers and the mothers with the most children. This is not how Mother’s day was supposed to be celebrated. As I said earlier, the original Mothers day was “celebrated” by mothers going out and caring about the health and sanitation of their communities. So, this Mother’s day when you are buying her gifts and taking her out to dinner, take a long, long look at her. Think of what the world would be without our mothers, without our mother’s love and teaching. Think about what femininity meant to society in the past. It meant a caregiver in the family, a teacher, a spiritual leader, one who would (ideally) teach about peace and brotherhood. Then, talk together, after the younger kids have gone to bed, about how mothers, fathers and possibly what your family can do this next year to influence others to stop war. Lets get back to Julia Ward Howe’s original plea: Disarm! Disarm! or even the 1960’s motto: “Make love, not war”!

Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts Because Even Mother’s Need to Relax from Time to Time By Amy Brantley Relaxation, it’s not really a word you associate with mothers, is it? It’s time that we change that. This year give your mother a gift that will allow her to relax. Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #1: Massage Gift Certificate Mother’s Day is a time for moms to be treated like royalty. One way you can make sure your mother gets treated like royalty is to send her to a spa to get a massage. This is a gift she will love, especially after a hard week of work. Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #2: Sleep Mask Sleeping in is a treat that mother’s very rarely get to enjoy. Even when she does get to sleep in, her sleep is usually disrupted by the sun. A wonderful way to avoid this dilemma is to buy her a sleep mask. Then she will be able to sleep in and get that well deserved rest. Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #3: Neck Pillow Laying down for a quick nap is a wonderful way to relax, but grabbing
a quick nap on the couch isn’t always comfortable. That’s why this relaxation gift is perfect for your mom. Now it doesn’t matter where she grabs that quick nap as long as she has this gift nearby. Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #4: Scented Candles Relaxation is appealing to all the senses, even the sense of smell. I highly suggest getting aromatherapy candles that claim to have relaxing or stress relieving scents. Your mother will love this gift. Even when she’s folding laundry, she can be relaxing. Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #5: Relaxing CD A CD that has classical music on it is very relaxing, but a CD that has the sounds of waterfalls, birds, etc is relaxing as well. These CDs are wonderful to play, in the background, while grabbing that quick nap. Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #6: Foot Spa This gift is relaxation at it’s finest. Your mother will love getting this gift on Mother’s Day. She can sit and watch TV or even read a book while
getting a wonderful foot massage. You could even include lotion and foot scrub so that she can have a mini pedicure at home. Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #7: Coupons for Free Dinners If you live nearby, this makes a wonderful Mother’s Day gift. There may be days when your mother doesn’t feel like cooking. When this happens she could call you up and redeem her coupon. If you give these coupons, I highly suggest you have some easy recipes handy so that you can quickly cook up a fast and delicious meal. Mother’s Day Relaxation Gifts #8: Coupons for Free Cleaning I suggest you live nearby before giving this gift on Mother’s Day. The only reason I say this is because if you live far away, and are only home on holidays, you may be stuck with cleaning up after the holidays, which can be horrible. Of course, you should help out at the holidays, but doing it all yourself is just too much. She will love having these coupons around when she’s not feeling to well.
Beat the heat and save some green with these warm weather energy saving ideas
There are plenty of reasons to be excited that winter is finally over. Among them: no more slick roads, heavy jackets, freezing temperatures or dry skin. Spring’s arrival also means an end to those expensive heating bills you paid all season. But just because warmer weather is here doesn’t mean your bills are gone. In fact, if your home isn’t as energy efficient as it could be, your summer cooling bills could be just as costly. If you’d like to make a change, here’s how you can invest in your home to increase its value, make it more energy efficient, improve your comfort, and save money in the long run. * Make sure your system is running properly. Any plan to improve energy efficiency in your home should start with a thorough review of your heating and cooling system. Sealing leaky ducts can improve your cooling efficiency by 20 percent. That means big savings on your monthly cooling bills. * Invest in new windows. Replacing your current windows with new products like Mezzo Windows from Alside offers you the chance to meet 2015 ENERGY STAR requirements
today. Mezzo’s dual-pane insulated glass helps prevent cool air from leaving your home and warm air from entering, making your home more energy efficient. Its narrowline frame provides a larger glass area for unobstructed views and an extensive collection of color and grid options mean Mezzo fits most any architectural style. * Replace outdated incandescent light bulbs in your home with ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs. These bulbs have a longer shelf life and are 75 percent more energy efficient than traditional bulbs. Replacing every bulb in your home with an ENERGY STAR bulb will lead to big energy savings in the months and years ahead. * Make sure your home’s envelope is secure. Your home’s envelope includes its outer walls, ceiling, windows and floors. Consider the benefits of insulated siding products. Prodigy Insulated Siding from Alside is up to 1.5 inches thick, making it an exceptional option to improve the R-value of your exterior walls which can help you save energy and money. In addition, the siding’s clean lines and wide array of rich colors offer your
home a modern look that increases its curb appeal. * Get audited. No one wants to be financially audited, but inviting an energy auditor to your home allows you to explore new energy-saving options. Your energy auditor will evaluate your home and offer you cost-effective measures to help you save energy and money. Expect to pay a small fee up front for the assessment, but you will easily
recoup that money by acting on the information you receive. Warmer weather doesn’t need to equal higher energy bills. Following these tips can help lower your energy expenses and improve the look of your home at the same time. To learn more about how new, lowmaintenance windows and siding can increase your home’s energy efficiency and curb appeal, visit alside.com.

R e p r e s e n t a t i v e M i m i W a l t e r s S u p p o r t s FY 1 6 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Bill U.S. Representative Mimi Walters (CA-45) released the following statement after voting in support of H.R. 2029, the fiscal year 2016 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations bill. This legislation provides $76.6 billion in discretionary funding to house, train, and equip military personnel; to maintain base infrastructure; to support the quality of life of our nation’s troops and families; and to fund veterans’ benefits and programs. H.R. 2029 passed in the U.S. House by a vote of 255 to 163 and now awaits consideration by the U.S. Senate. Said Rep. Mimi Walters, “Providing for our nation’s brave veterans, servicemen and women, and their families, is one of the highest duties of the federal government. The funding in this bill would ensure that our veterans are receiving access to the highest quality services and care, that our servicemembers’ housing is supported, and that the necessary infrastructure for wartime, crisis, and peace support is maintained. This legislation would also speed up claims processing at the VA and put in place a modernized electronic health record system to help ensure our veterans receive proper medical care in a timely and effective manner. I’m hopeful the Senate will act quickly to pass this vital bill for our nation’s service members and veterans.” Walters represents California’s 45th District and sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure and Judiciary Committees.

PBS Gala Honors Retiring Mel Rodgers, Raises over $600,000 Photos by: Craig T. Mathew & Greg Grudt/Mathew Imaging With a theme of Stardust Nights and an Old Las Vegas/Rat Pack Vibe, PBS SoCaL’s Orange County gala assembled more than 300 supporters of Southern California’s largest classroom, most-watched stage for the arts, and most-trusted source of information. Proceeds from the “Stardust Saturday Night” are estimated at over $600,000 and will enable PBS SoCaL to continue to educate, inform and inspire the over 16 million people in Southern California. The eighth-annual gala was hosted by Antiques Roadshow’s Mark L. Walberg and took place at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa in Huntington Beach.The evening honored the leadership and legacy of PBS SoCaL’s retiring President and CEO, Mel Rogers, and the “Heroes” of the Station. Mel Rogers was honored for his 18 years of service as President and CEO of PBS SoCaL, formerly KOCE-TV. His many accomplishments included the station’s conversion to digital HDTV, the relocation of its transmitter, making the station an independent community-focused enterprise, the production of many local programs, and leading KOCE in stepping forward as the new primary PBS station for Los Angeles. The “Heroes” of the Station who were honored included John & Mary Tu; Henry & Susan Samueli; Bob & Sue Brown; Martha Fluor; Judi GarfiPartridge; Joann Leatherby; Russ & Susie Leatherby; Phil & Mary Lyons; Dan & Gigi Werbin; Jerry & Judy Cwiertnia; Joel & Judy Slutzky; David Pyott of Allergan; Conexant Systems; Anne G. Earhart of Marisla Foundation; Pacific Life Corporation; Rancho Mission Viejo; and Western Digital Foundation. Their invaluable support a decade ago helped to keep PBS SoCaL alive during a difficult time. PBS SoCaL’s 2014 “Community Champions” were also recognized for their outstanding work in the community, including: Charmaine Jefferson, former Executive Director of the California African American Museum; Operation Clean Slate; Shelter Me; Dr. Michi Fu, Alliant International University; Orange County Rescue Mission; Project Access; Esperanza Community Housing; Homefront America and City Ballet of Los Angeles. The event took guests back in time to celebrate the iconic era of Las Vegas with gaming tables and regalement. The evening’s program included surprise messages to Rogers from PBS President Paula Kerger, Ken Burns, Peter Asher, CPB President Patricia Harrison, PBS NewsHour’s Judy Woodruff and Gwen Ifell, and more. The night ended with an after party in the “Rat Pack” lounge with entertainment by JT & Friends, a talented 55-member ensemble of horns, strings, woodwinds, keyboards, percussion and singers fronted by John Tu. Opportunities to support PBS SoCaL’s mission throughout the evening included opportunities to bid for unique dinner parties, including “The David Fanning FRONTLINE Experience,” “The Joe Bonamassa Experience,” and an “Evening with CBS News Travel Editor, Peter Greenberg.” The live auction was followed by a Fund-The-Need campaign to support PBS SoCaL’s service to the community. PBS SoCaL is the parent to three unique broadcast channels, PBS SoCaL/ KOCE-HD, PBS SoCaL Plus, and PBS SoCaL World, which are dedicated to educating, entertaining and enlightening viewers throughout Southern California. PBS SoCaL offices are located in Downtown LA, Century City and Costa Mesa. PBS SoCaL is proudly, our communities’ largest classroom, largest stage for the arts and trusted source of information.

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 14
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.

5 gifts for the modern mom If you think your mom wants another messy breakfast in bed that ends with her scrubbing pancake batter off the counter, think again. Moms today are looking for modern gifts that speak to their personality and create an experience for them and their family. Here are some options that go beyond the boring gifts and offer a fresh take on the perfect Mother’s Day gift for your modern mom. Flowers Flowers may be a classic choice, but moms love them. The annual report from the National Retail Federation notes that two-thirds of those celebrating Mother’s Day will be celebrating with flowers. This year, put a new spin on a classic gift with a modern favorite - orchids. As the 2014 color of the year, radiant orchid is a bright and beautiful color guaranteed to make any mom smile. ProFlowers carries fresh radiant orchids that would make the perfect on-trend gift for modern moms this year. Online shopping spree Today’s modern mom wears many hats, and she deserves a different outfit for each of those hats. Buying her a new blouse for work or a silk scarf for an evening out is a classic
choice, but consider letting her choose her own outfit in the comfort of her own home. Modern moms have their favorite online store, so don’t take all the browsing fun away from them - help your mom relax with a delicious champagne brunch and let her choose what she wants for Mother’s Day. Just don’t be surprised if the gift she wants is already bookmarked under her favorites! If she needs a little guidance, RedEnvelope.com offers a variety of unique products, from sentimental jewelry to linen pillows that can be personalized for a perfect Mother’s Day gift she’ll remember for years to come. Tasty treats Every mom loves a box of chocolates, and it’s the perfect way to indulge her on a special day. But if you really want to astound your modern mom, thrill her palate with gourmet dipped strawberries from Shari’s Berries. These delectable desserts treat her taste buds to the sweet treat of chocolate and the savory deliciousness of ripe strawberries, all in one. Personal assistance There is little time to rest for the modern mom because of her
numerous professional and personal obligations. So why not give her the gift of assistance? Tackle that outside project she’s been putting off, run those errands she doesn’t have time for or offer to babysit while she enjoys the opportunity to relax. Your assistance may be just what she needs to recharge her batteries. Techy mom The modern mom on your list may have every new tech gadget on the market, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a unique way for her to
enjoy her modern devices. Personal Creation’s 3 Piece Ikat Print Phone, iPad Case and Sleeve Set provides the cases she needs for her iPhone and iPad, all with a fun, modern print personalized with her name that she’ll enjoy displaying all year long. Mother’s Day is the perfect time of year to show your mom just how important she is. Get your modern mom exactly what she wants this Mother’s Day to keep her smiling all year long.
Walking: the old way to get fit is new again
With so many fitness trends, you might not think of walking as good exercise. If you’re not thrusting a kettlebell over your head, pushing a tractor trailer tire or shaking your hips to a Top 40 dance beat in a scheduled group class, you’re not cutting it, right? Well, not so fast. Walking is actually a great way to get in shape. In fact, if you walk often enough and fast enough, the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other can satisfy your body’s daily requirement for aerobic activity. Walking may just seem like an old method of exercise; it certainly is tried and true. But quite the opposite of outdated, it seems to be making a resurgence in the health, fitness and medical worlds as a low-cost solution to the nation’s ongoing health care crisis. Renowned medical expert Dr. Andrew Weil is an advocate of walking as a crucial method of preventative care. He advocates walking as a low-risk means to optimum health. “With a consistent, brisk walking routine, you can boost your immune system, help manage weight, improve your mood and help ease depression, as well as improve cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and prevent osteoporosis,” says Weil. “The additional benefits may be endless.” Regarded as a leader in the world of integrative medicine, Weil is part of a panel of experts with Vionic Innovation Lab, an innovative footwear company leading the way for proper foot health and active lifestyle solutions. With new products
such as the Zen walking shoe, Vionic offers podiatrist-designed technology in contemporary styles, providing an innovative support for anyone in need of a supportive shoe or sandal to start or improve her walking routine. The walking movement is growing: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that between 2005 and 2010, the number of adults who walked for 10 minutes or more at least once a week rose from 56 to 62 percent - an increase of almost 20 million people. Need more convincing reasons to walk onto the bandwagon? Here’s why walking for exercise is so ideal: * Walking is what your body is designed to do. *Among all forms of aerobic exercise, walking carries the least risk of injury. * You can walk almost anywhere, any time. * Nearly everyone can walk, and it’s something you can do throughout your life. * It’s free. * There’s no special skill, training, or equipment needed - all you need is the right footwear. The buzz about walking has even reached the stars. Fitness trainer to celebrities such as Kate Walsh, Pink and Stacey Kiebler, Juliet Kaska has been known to start many of her high-profile clientele with a consistent walking routine. Also contributing to the Vionic Innovation lab as a lifestyle expert, Kaska recommends walking as a great baseline for any fitness program, but
reminds her followers to “invest in a good pair of walking shoes. They will do wonders for your posture and joints. Minimizing the impact of each step. Look for lightweight flexible shoes and be sure to replace them often, especially if you’re walking every day.” As you develop your walking program, set your own pace. As a general rule, taking 10,000 steps a day is a great goal for improving your overall physical, emotional and mental fitness. But the journey, as they say, begins with a single step. There’s no better time than now to begin.
