Make This Fathers Day Special ~ Fun Things to Do for Dad This Fathers Day Dad’s are unselfish people. They work hard for the family and rarely buy things for themselves. With the family at the heart of their goals, Dads deserve a day carved out just for them. All Dads are different, lets face it, they are still people. Some may love golf, while others are into hunting. Regardless of what they’re idea of fun is, you can put it all together in one day of excitement and fun. Start out the day with his favorite breakfast in bed. Bring his favorite coffee in a new mug, exactly the way he loves it. Men really love their coffee. If he’s not a coffee drinker, try fresh squeezed orange juice. When he’s ready to hop out of bed and into the shower, have some special soap and body gel in the shower for him. On the counter, have a new razor and shave gel waiting for him. This will put a smile on his face. Have a gift wrapped box/bag waiting with a card that says “open now” on his freshly made bed. Inside he will find something new to wear, weather it’s a new jersey or shirt

saying “Worlds Best Dad”, he will feel special and everyone else will know how special he is too! If Dad has plans to golf or go fishing with his buddies, you can resume his Fathers Day when he returns. If you have plans together, enjoy the day and let Dad be the decision maker on the activities. The most important thing is that you show your appreciation and gratitude for his dedication to you all year. At dinner time, plan something he loves. BBQ’s tend to be a Fathers Day favorite, and he will most likely want to do that part himself. You can prepare the rest of the meal with his favorites in mind. This is also a good time to present Dad with another small gift. I recommend a gift certificate for a hair cut at his usual barber. Although men enjoy a massage as much as women. Dessert should be something he really loves. It doesn’t have to be a cake that says” Happy Fathers Day”, it’s more important that it’s something he will really enjoy. If Dad loves a good movie, get

all the goodies and set them up in the movie area. His favorite candy, popcorn, drinks and of course, a movie he’s been wanting to see. There’s always the alternative to go out to the movies as well. It all depends on the specific likes and dislikes of the Dad. Great gifts ideas ~ BBQ

Gear for his favorite hobby Clothes Gift certificates (tattoo shop, fishing license, massage, golf) There are thousands of DIY ideas that make great gifts too Most importantly, show how much you love the Dads in your life by spoiling him and making the day his!

Garage space isn’t just for cars anymore

The word garage, when looked up in the dictionary, has a simple meaning: a building or indoor area for parking or storing motor vehicles. By and large, this definition sums up exactly what comes to mind for most folks when they hear the word. But for some folks, garages are so much more than a space to park the family minivan and store the cumbersome and unattractive trash and recycling bins. Instead, they are functioning spaces of the home that, in the eye of the homeowner, serve just as much purpose as a kitchen or a bathroom and deserve just as much attention to detail. More and more, people are using garages as space to actually live in. It isn’t just extra room anymore. Since the 1950s, most garages in North America are of the “attached” variety, meaning that they are part of the actual main home and not a separate building on the property. From music studios to man caves, art spaces to playrooms, garages are quickly becoming more integral parts of the family home. They are heated and cooled. They are equipped with cable and Internet capabilities. They are accessorized with attractive lighting and flooring choices. While wall cabinetry units may Page 4

still house things like a yard rake and a collection of tennis racquets and lacrosse sticks, they are also being chosen to integrate in such a fashion that the garage is truly seen as another room in the home, no matter what the intended end use of the square footage. The gateway to the garage, of course, is the garage door. Garage doors, even though they impact the exterior look of the home, have not always been given as much careful consideration, as a design element, as the rest of the house. But now, more than ever, garage doors are getting special treatment in the design arena - both from the exterior and interior perspectives. A consumer using garage space as an art studio may choose a door with more window panels, as to increase and enhance the natural light that comes into the space. The parents of a budding rock band musician who uses the space as a performing and recording area might need to take into account the ability of the door to reduce the noise carrying to other parts of the house. Garage spaces can even be beautifully appointed to serve as living rooms, sunrooms, and a variety of other entertaining spaces that integrate seamlessly with the design

The Ladera Ranch News

and decor of the rest of the home. A ground-breaking addition to the garage world is the new Trento Collection, distributed by Amarr, a company that has been a leader in the garage door industry with decades of innovation and design. Available in an almost unlimited number of looks, doors in the Trento Collection can be customized to fit the architecture of any home. Unlike traditional garage doors that operate via a series of springs, rails and tracks along the ceiling, Trento Collection garage doors showcase revolutionary technology and Italian design, featuring a patented overlap design that allows the door to open

by folding neatly in half without any ceiling hardware to clutter the overhead space in the garage. This allows for a Trento door to take up far less space and appear significantly sleeker on the inside and outside than the traditional garage door. So give your garage another look. It is a fine space for doing the things that traditionally make us think of garages, of course, but take a look at your garage space with a fresh eye. The space can be so much more. Entertaining space, work space, a space for a personal hobby that you’ve always wanted in your home but could never figure out how to have. The possibilities are endless.

Father’s Day was founded in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd. Its first celebration was in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who reared his six children in Spokane, Washington. After hearing a sermon about Jarvis’ Mother’s Day in 1909, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them. Although she initially suggested June 5, her father’s birthday, the pastors hadn’t enough time to prepare their sermons, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. It didn’t have much success initially. In the 1920s, Dodd stopped promoting the celebration because she was studying in the Art Institute of Chicago, and it faded into relative

obscurity, even in Spokane. In the 1930s Dodd returned to Spokane and started promoting the celebration again, raising awareness at a national level. She had the help of those trade groups that would benefit most from the holiday, for example the manufacturers of ties, tobacco pipes, and any traditional present to fathers. Since 1938 she had the help of the Father’s Day Council, founded by the New York Associated Men’s Wear Retailers to consolidate and systematize the commercial promotion A bill to accord national recognition of the holiday was introduced in Congress in 1913. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson went to Spokane to speak in a Father’s Day celebration and wanted to make it official, but Congress resisted, fearing that

it would become commercialized. US President Calvin Coolidge recommended in 1924 that the day be observed by the nation, but stopped short of issuing a national proclamation. Two earlier attempts to formally recognize the holiday had been defeated by Congress. In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honoring mothers, thus “[singling] out just one of our two parents”. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.

LOCAL DENTIST DR. MICHAEL TESSIER EXPLAINS NEWEST DENTAL TECHNOLOGY I had a conversation with a patient the other day, an eighty-five year old doctor (retired). We were discussing how, when, in the 1960’s I was a hospital corpsman in dr. Michael tessier the Navy and he was an established physician, we were just starting to use new needles on every patient, as opposed to re-sharpening old ones. The old way sounds so barbaric. That got me thinking about the other things we do today to make dental work easier and better. Thirty-seven years ago, while in dental school, there was nothing that bonded to tooth structure. Today we can bond a 0.75mm thick porcelain veneer to the front surface of a tooth, dramatically improving its appearance while removing a lot less tooth structure. The old analogue x-rays required some nasty chemicals for development. Today, digital x-rays go right into the computer, where they can be e-mailed to anywhere in the world. The definition is dramatically better, and the amount of radiation they expose the patient to is way less than walking around in the sun. We also take digital panographic x-rays which are totally extra-oral, and show a complete picture of, say, the wisdom teeth and surrounding tissues, or any bone abnormalities like cysts or even bone cancer in the jaws that regular x-rays don’t pick up.

I wear a battery-powered headlight that gives me better illumination than I’ve ever had before (no more working in the dark). For smaller cavities, we use a sandblaster istead fo the drill. No anesthetic is required, and there’s no heat of friction which otherwise might result in fractured teeth in years to come. Replacing missing teeth is still done with fixed tooth-colored porcelain bridges (don’t come out) bridges made of toothcolored porcelain and have no unsightly or irritating external hardware. Alternatively, implants are as close to 100% reliable as anything ever is, they don’t involve the teeth on either side of the missing tooth. Frequently, where a root canal on a questionable tooth used to be the only option, now that offender is removed and replaced with an implant. We’ve been using a laser for the past six years to treat gum problems. The old way of using a knife to cut the gums and peel them off the bone to fix a defect in the boney socket in which a tooth is situated was very painful for about seven to ten days after the procedure. Today, the laser allows us to avoid the knife and sutures and the post-operative pain, and we can actually expect the gum tissue to re-attach to the tooth structure. Dental work keeps getting easier, and the results keep getting better. Don’t hesitate to call (949-459 -7212) my office for a complimentary consultation appointment if you have any questions. My office is located at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Pkwysi (28562 Oso Parkway). Down the way from the carwash and Starbucks.

Grooming solutions to help men care for their faces

The majority of U.S. men believe their appearance is an important factor in their personal and professional success. As a result, men have become increasingly aware of the need to take better care of their faces - as it tells their story and the life they have lived. If this cultural shift is any indication, carefully maintaining your skin - and facial hair - is a huge part of putting your very best face forward. For many, that means addressing common skin concerns such as blocked pores, skin dryness and looking tired - in addition to the irritation and ingrown hairs sustained during routine shaving. These are concerns accelerated by the aging process, according to a study by Dove Men+Care. In fact, about half of men recognize that as they age, their skin needs more attention and takes longer to recover. However, facial grooming expert Dr. Allan Peterkin says there is good news. “Following some simple steps and using a skincare line that offers a variety of specific solutions for men’s different skin types can make a huge difference in a man’s appearance, no matter his age.” Here are Dr. Peterkin’s tips on what men can do to finally care for their faces and look sharp, whether bearded or smooth: Cleanse daily: Forty-eight percent of men admit they don’t wash their faces, but it’s crucial to eliminating oil and other bacteria that can build up over the course of the day. Use a daily hydrating cleanser like Dove Men+Care Hydrate+ Face Wash, which helps to replenish lost moisture and fight skin dryness at the same time. Those with facial hair aren’t exempt from the daily ritual either.

It’s important to wash your beard or mustache and to keep the skin beneath the hair healthy as well. Prep your face before shaving: A warm shower, a splash of hot water, or even a moist towel prior to shaving helps to open the pores and softens stubborn stubble that, when untreated, can lead to irritation or ingrown hairs. Try soaking a hot towel in a solution made from tea tree oil - available at the local pharmacy - for an invigorating and decadent deep clean. Choose the right products: Shaving without any lather - also known as dry shaving - is a common mistake among men who are crunched for time; meanwhile, using soap lather for shaving can leave skin dry and doesn’t provide protection from razor irritation. Men can finally stop torturing their faces during their grooming routines by using an aerosol moisturizing gel - and finish with a mild post-shave balm. Look for balms that are alcohol free to eliminate discomfort or the common aftershave burn. Use the right technique: Be sure to glide the razor over each area of the skin only once, as repeated strokes can leave the skin irritated. Shave with the grain, not against it. Rinse skin carefully in warm water after each shave and let it dry. Another tip: replace the razor every four to five shaves - half of US men have used a razor with a dull blade that’s over one month old; this will not only lead to irritation, but also causes bacteria to collect. Use your facial features to your advantage: Your facial hair - whether it’s a beard, mustache or goatee - should reflect and accentuate your best features. Round faces, for example, do well with

fuller beards, while longer faces are served well by a mustache. It’s great to try something new, so keep your eye out for looks you like on friends, family and celebrities with similar features. Ask your barber for advice too. Choose a moisturizer with SPF: In addition to ensuring skin looks healthy and cared for, a product with an SPF - which stands for sun-protectant factor - serves to shield delicate facial skin from damaging rays. Keep in mind that SPF is always necessary - even if when bearded. Non-greasy, absorbent formulas are best, such as the Dove Men+Care Hydrate+ Face Lotion, which offers SPF protection and keeps skin hydrated. With a few simple steps, men can improve the overall condition of their skin and facial hair. With new products, innovations and a few tips, it’s easier than ever for men to finally care for their faces. For more information on the products recommended by Dr. Allan Peterkin, visit www. dovemencare.com.

The man cave: Give Dad a space all his own

Man cave, manspace, manctuary ... whatever he calls it, it’s Dad’s special place away from the rest of the house. This Father’s Day, give Dad the ultimate gift and make him his own man cave. It’s easier than you think, and a thoughtful gift that says to Dad, “I love you, and you can run away from us now.” Step 1: Identify the space The optimal man cave is secluded, has a lockable door and is 100 percent Dad’s to own and decorate. Examples include garages, basements, dens, attics or for the bookish types, studies. When locating Dad’s man cave, consider this - it’s his to own, decorate, use and entertain in however he chooses. He will clean it (or not) how he sees fit ... although you can encourage him with a heavy-duty vacuum, like the RIDGID Wet/Dry Vac. Step 2: Clear it out and outfit it Dad needs a blank canvas to create his masterpiece. Clear out all the boxes, industrial-size cleaning and paper products and any other knickknacks you’ve stored there. Locate the focal point of the room and think about what he’ll put there. For sports-loving dads and his friends, this will probably be a big screen TV. For the DIYer and builder, it’s where his workbench goes. * Paint it. A fresh coat of paint does wonders. In one glance, it can tell you that you’ve entered the “man room.” BEHR paint experts recommend dark blues, greens or reds for a man cave, with accents of charcoal blacks or chocolate brown. * No matter the dad, you’ll want to set him up with durable storage options that can handle anything from power tools to whiskey stones, like a Husky

9-drawer Mobile Work Center, $249 or the Husky 48 inch Floor Cabinet, $379. It’ll also withstand every day wear and tear and look great years from now. * Does Dad like giant TVs? Don’t run the risk of having it crash to the ground. Get a mounting kit, like the Level Mount Adjustable Fixed Mount, $47.99. If you’ve got questions on how to install, ask an associate when you’re picking it up. Step 3: Stock it Next, fill ‘er up with goodies to keep him busy for days. Whether these gifts are for his projects or just for relaxing, Dad deserves ultimate setup. * If Dad likes to entertain or just stay refreshed while working, an ice maker and mini fridge will keep him from having to leave his new favorite place. Check out the Magic Chef 27-lb Portable Ice Maker ($199) and the SPT Mini Refrigerator, $169. * Dad like toys? Hook him up with the latest innovation in power tools - lithium ion batteries. They hold their charge four times longer than traditional ni-cad batteries. For newbies, the Ryobi ONE+ 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Drill and Impact Driver Combo kit or the Ryobi ONE + Ultimate Combo Kits are both great choices to get Dad drilling. For the fully-stocked DIYer, try the Ryobi 18-Volt ONE+ 18-Gauge Cordless 2 inch Brad Nailer. If it’s hand tools he’s after, you can get lifetime-guaranteed Husky 7-Piece Ratcheting Mobile Wrench Set. * Give him something cool to show off with his friends. Check out the Defiant AmorMax 3D Tactical Flashlight, $29.97, which can shine the length of three football fields and work even while submerged in 30 feet of water; a Kerogrator Beer Keg Fridge,

$499 or an LED headlamp like the Defiant 7 LED Headlamp, $17.97 (you’ll be shocked at the uses he’ll find for this). * Let him choose his own adventure with new Project Cards from The Home Depot - load it up with the amount needed for Dad’s next project and he can track the balance with no fees. If you’re helping Dad, you can also be added to the account to use the card when you run out for supplies. Step 4: Break it in Every new space needs a housewarming party, including caves. Invite the guys over and encourage Dad to show off his man cave’s sweet style.- Put together tubs of soda, beer and water, order the wings, arrange easy table snacks like chips and salsa, and let them have at it. Cheers to this mancutary. The Ladera Ranch News

Pretend City Children’s Museum Raises $200k at 5th Annual Poker Tournament Photos by: Ann Chatillon and Ruhm Destination Marketing Casino-style game tables were packed and active with serious poker playing during the fifth annual Pretend City Children’s Museum’s Poker Fundraising Night held at Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach. With a Western flair-theme, more than 100 of Orange County’s notable philanthropists and top business leaders took to their poker chips and cards to participate in a five-hour poker fundraising tournament. A tournament that benefits Pretend City Children’s Museum’s educational mission for Orange County’s children and families, this year’s tournament raised the stakes by fundraising $200,000. Poker Fundraising Night guests marveled and were entertained by “World’s Best Close-Up Magician for the New Millennium” magician Brian Gillis during the event’s VIP pre-reception, where he fascinated guests with his mindblowing blend of mentalism and interactive magic. The event also featured a live auction that included envy-worthy items such as a Corum Watch, five nights at the Four Seasons in Jackson Hole, a private plane to Napa with a two-night stay at the Meritage, gold cuff links, an Angels experience, a Maserati weekend at Bacara Resort and Spa, and more — bringing an overall auction value of over $70,000 to the table. One lucky donor also had to chance to win a Disneyland experience. “Our poker fundraising tournament shines as an important milestone marker and fundraiser for Pretend City Children’s Museum’s educational mission,” says Jill Bertea, Chairman of the Board for Pretend City Children’s Museum. “Since the fundraising event’s inception, the museum has seen many familiar and new faces take action and give meaning to purposeful play through hands-on exhibits, engaging programs, special events, and scholarships for the underserved.” Among the supporters for the evening’s event were board members Bill Lyon, Hirad Emadi, Chad Horning, Mark Fitzpatrick, Travis Boyd, Sinan Kanatsiz and Chris Winn; other notable supporters included Ken Cruse, Darrin Ginsberg and Don Ressler. The Poker Fundraising Night was made possible by generous key sponsors: Sunstone Hotels, The Ressler Family, William Lyon Homes, RUHM, Sales and Service, Inc., Innovative Construction Solutions, Inc. Fidelity National Title, Biz Cash, KPMG and STA Jets. Since opening, Pretend City has seen over 800,000 guests, distributed more than 19,000 developmental screenings, hosted monthly specialized family events for children on the autism spectrum and facilitated more than 10,000 scholarship field trips to the young, underserved Orange County community. In 2013, Pretend City Children’s Museum received OC Weekly’s 2013 award for Best Museum (Non-Art) in Orange County and Parenting OC’s Reader’s Choice Award in 2012. Pretend City Children’s Museum features a small, interconnected city designed to “build better brains” through purposeful play, hands-on learning experiences, role playing, and educational programming. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization serving all children, it depends on community-based funding and guest support. Through 17 interactive exhibits and activities guided by a highly trained professional staff, children learn foundational math, reading and science skills, while fostering curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, organization, teamwork, self-confidence and socialization. The museum is a unique community resource offering developmental screenings and tools for families, educators and community agencies working to ensure that each child gains the experiences needed to discover their potential and build toward a productive and fulfilling future.

Decorate a Cookie Family for Dad’s Day What better way to spoil dad on Father’s Day than with a dessert made just for him? A sweet treat is a great way to say “thank you” to the most important man in your life. And, since it’s his day, choose one that reflects what he loves most of all – his family. The celebration experts at Wilton have created a fun and memorable recipe just for the occasion – Dad’s Perfect Family Cookies. They’re sure to put a smile on Dad’s face. Start with a basic buttery sugar cookie dough; roll and cut with boy, girl, dog and cat cutters. When the cookies are baked and cooled, it’s time to paint the family portrait. Kids will love decorating cutouts in each family member’s likeness – remember to decorate Dad using his favorite colors. Use Color Flow Icing – special icing that makes it easy to outline and color almost any design – to “dress” the cookies. Or for a convenient, readyto-use option, try Cookie Icing – simply heat in the microwave and squeeze onto cookies. Add personal touches with sparkling sugars, sprinkles, and other candies for outfits, buttons and jewelry. Use these amazing cookies as fun place cards, or serve as dessert after Dad’s celebratory meal. Pour him a cold glass of milk and let him relax and enjoy

his special treat. For more fun baking and decorating ideas, visit www.wilton.com. Dad’s Perfect Family Cookies 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract Large and small boy and girl cookie cutters Dog and cat cookie cutters Color Flow Icing Mix 4 cups (about 1 pound) sifted confectioners’ sugar Assorted Icing Colors Mega Sprinkles Tote Assorted Colored Sugars Preheat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and extracts; mix well. Do not chill dough; divide into 2 balls. On floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches diameter x 1/8 inch thick. Dip cookie cutter in flour before each use. Bake same-sized cookies together on ungreased cookie sheets 8 to 11 minutes or until cookies are lightly “Graduations...Weddings... Family Photos....time to custom frame these events?

browned. Cool completely. Prepare Color Flow Icing with confectioners’ sugar, following package instructions. You can also substitute Cookie Icing if you prefer. Tint portions of icing a variety of colors with icing color. Outline cookies and “clothing” with full-strength icing; fill in with thinned

icing. Immediately position sprinkles and sugars. Let set. Add hair, facial features, shoes, clothing and other details using full-strength icing. Let dry overnight. Makes about 2-1/2 dozen cookies. *Variation: Substitute Cookie Icing for tinted Color Flow Icing. Decorate as directed above.

IRS Adopts “ Taxpayer Bill of Rights” 10 Provisions to be Highlighted on IRS.gov, in Publication 1 IR2014-72. The Internal Revenue Service today announced the adoption of a “Taxpayer Bill of Rights” that will become a cornerstone document to provide the nation’s taxpayers with a better understanding of their rights. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights takes the multiple existing rights embedded in the tax code and groups them into 10 broad categories, making them more visible and easier for taxpayers to find on IRS.gov. Publication 1, “Your Rights as a Taxpayer,” has been updated with the 10 rights and will be sent to millions of taxpayers this year when they receive IRS notices on issues ranging from audits to collection. The rights will also be publicly visible in all IRS facilities for taxpayers and employees to see. “The Taxpayer Bill of Rights contains fundamental information to help taxpayers,” said IRS Commissioner John A. Koskinen. “These are core concepts about which taxpayers should be aware. Respecting taxpayer rights continues to be a top priority for IRS employees, and the new Taxpayer Bill of Rights summarizes these important protections in a clearer, more understandable format than ever before.” The IRS released the Taxpayer Bill of Rights following extensive discussions with the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent office inside the IRS that represents the interests of U.S. taxpayers. Since 2007, adopting a Taxpayer Bill of Rights has been a goal of National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson, and it was listed as the Advocate’s top priority in her most recent Annual Report to Congress. “Congress has passed multiple pieces of legislation with the title of ‘Taxpayer Bill of Rights,’” Olson said. “However, taxpayer surveys conducted by my office have found that most taxpayers do not believe they have rights before the IRS and even fewer can name their rights. I believe the list of core taxpayer rights the IRS is announcing today will help taxpayers better understand their rights in dealing with the tax system.” The tax code includes numerous taxpayer rights, but they are scattered throughout the code, making it difficult for people to track and understand. Similar to the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights, the Taxpayer Bill of Rights contains 10 provisions. They are: 1. The Right to Be Informed 2. The Right to Quality Service 3. The Right to Pay No More than the Correct Amount of Tax 4. The Right to Challenge the IRS’s Position and Be Heard 5. The Right to Appeal an IRS Decision in an Independent Forum 6. The Right to Finality 7. The Right to Privacy 8. The Right to Confidentiality 9. The Right to Retain Representation Page 14

10. The Right to a Fair and Just Tax System The rights have been incorporated into a redesigned version of Publication 1, a document that is routinely included in IRS correspondence with taxpayers. Millions of these mailings go out each year. The new version has been added to IRS.gov, and print copies will start being included in IRS correspondence in the near future. The timing of the updated Publication 1 with the Taxpayer Bill of Rights is critical because the IRS is in the peak of its correspondence mailing season as taxpayers start to receive follow-up correspondence from the 2014 filing season. The publication initially will be available in English and Spanish, and updated versions will soon be available in Chinese, Korean, Russian and Vietnamese. The IRS has also created a special section of IRS.gov to highlight the 10 rights. The web site will continue to be updated with information as it becomes available, and taxpayers will be able to easily find the Bill of Rights from the front page. The IRS internal web site for employees is adding a special section so people inside the IRS have easy access as well. As part of this effort, the IRS will add posters and signs in coming months to its public offices so taxpayers visiting the IRS can easily see and read the information. “This information is critically important for taxpayers to read and understand,” Koskinen said. “We encourage people to take a moment to read the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, especially when they are interacting with the IRS. While these rights have always been there for taxpayers, we think the time is right to highlight and showcase these rights for people to plainly see.” “I also want to emphasize that the concept of taxpayer rights is not a new one for IRS employees; they embrace it in their work every day,” Koskinen added. “But our establishment of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights is also a clear reminder that all of the IRS takes seriously our responsibility to treat taxpayers fairly. Koskinen added, “The Taxpayer Bill of Rights will serve as an important education tool, and we plan to highlight it in many different forums and venues.” IRS Adopts “Taxpayer Bill of Rights;” 10 Provisions to be Highlighted on IRS.gov, in Publication 1 IR-2014-72, June 10, 2014 WASHINGTON ― The Internal Revenue Service today announced the adoption of a “Taxpayer Bill of Rights” that will become a cornerstone document to provide the nation’s taxpayers with a better understanding of their rights.

Financial Advice for New Fathers By Jason Alderman Each year when Father’s Day rolls around, I’m reminded that I wouldn’t trade the experience of raising my two kids for the world. But when I think back to how naïve my wife and I once were about the costs of raising children, I can’t help wishing we’d been better prepared. If you’re a new dad, or about to become one, you’d better sit down. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a typical middle-income family can expect to spend over $241,000 to raise a newborn child until age 18 – and that doesn’t even include prenatal care or college costs. Right now, you’re probably more worried about getting enough sleep than funding your retirement. But at some point, you’ll need to plot out a financial roadmap to ensure your family’s future financial security. As one dad to another, here are a few strategies I’ve learned that can help: Start saving ASAP. It’s hard to save for the future when your present expenses are so daunting, but it’s important to start making regular Page 16

contributions to several savings vehicles, even if only a few dollars at a time: • Establish an emergency fund with enough cash to cover at least six months of living expenses. Start small by having $25 or $50 a month deducted from your paycheck and automatically deposited into a separate savings account. • Even if retirement is decades away, the sooner you start saving and compounding your interest, the faster your savings will grow. If your employer offers 401(k) matching contributions, contribute at least enough to take full advantage of the match. • Once those two accounts are well established, open a 529 Qualified State Tuition Plan to start saving for your children’s education. If funding these accounts seems impossible, look for a few luxuries you could cut from your budget for six months – lattes, eating out, premium cable, etc. After six months, evaluate whether they were actual “needs” or simply “wants” you can live without. Get insured. If your family depends

The Ladera Ranch News

on your income, you must be prepared for life’s unexpected events, whether an accident, illness, unemployment or death. Get adequate coverage for: • Health insurance. Everyone needs medical insurance, no matter how young or healthy. • Homeowner/renter’s insurance. Don’t let theft, fire or another catastrophe leave your family without a home or possessions. To reduce premiums, consider choosing a higher deductible. • Life insurance. You’ll probably want coverage worth at least five to 10 times your annual pay – more, if you want to cover college costs. And don’t forget to insure your spouse’s life so you’ll be protected as well. • Disability insurance. Millions of Americans suffer disabilities serious enough to miss work for months or years, yet many forego disability insurance, potentially leaving them without an income after a serious accident or illness. Ask about your employer’s sick leave and short-term disability benefits and if long-term disability is offered, consider buying it.

• Car insurance. Almost every state requires insurance if you own or drive a car, and for good reason: It protects you financially should you cause an accident or be hit by an uninsured driver. Make sure you have sufficient liability coverage to protect your net worth and income – it only takes one serious accident to wipe out your savings. And finally, spend responsibly. If you buy things you don’t really need or can’t afford, you’ll just end up having to work longer hours to pay for them – time you could have spent watching your kids growing up.
