BOO! EEK! SPOOKY “PHANTOMS OF THE ORCHESTRA” JOIN PACIFIC SYMPHONY FOR SOME HALLOWEEN MISCHIEF AND FUN
Most folks didn’t discover the world of classical music through formal concerts. They discovered it through Elmer Fudd singing “Kill the Wabbit!” and by watching Mickey Mouse trying to stop an army of living broomsticks from drowning him. That same spirit of curiosity, discovery, informality and playfulness fills the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., as Pacific Symphony launches its 2015-16 Family Musical Mornings season, sponsored by Farmers & Merchants Bank, with “Phantoms of the Orchestra.” This Halloween-themed concert features the orchestra, under the direction of its new assistant conductor, Roger
Kalia, joined by the renowned Magic Circle Mime Company (MCMCo). While the Symphony brings the music to life, the story is told by MCMCo, one of the most popular and highly acclaimed family attractions in the nation. The company is consistently praised for its creativity, innovation, and theatricality. All are encouraged to come in costume and join in the fun at the Musical Carnival taking place at 9 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. Season packages are $60-$160; single tickets are $15-40. For more information or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. Combining music and live theater, the concert tells the story of how the “phantoms of the orchestra” return to haunt the concert hall every Halloween, and the maestro and his terrified assistant must use the power of the baton to control this ghoulish orchestra of the undead and lead them in concert. Attentive readers are sure to immediately recognize the story of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” Of course, that miniature musical masterpiece by Paul Dukas is on the program, as are two other works long associated with spooks,
ghouls and things that go bump in the night: Bach’s haunting Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, and Mussorgsky’s chilling “Night on Bald Mountain.” While the Symphony brings the music to life, the story is told by the Magic Circle Mime Company, one of the most popular and highly acclaimed family attractions in the nation. Yoking orchestra and visual theater, the company is consistently praised for its creativity, innovation, and theatricality. This is the first concert for Kalia, who comes to Orange County after completing a successful two-year tenure as assistant conductor of the Charlotte Symphony, and serving for three years as music director of the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra of Los Angeles. He’s worked with orchestras across North America and Europe. No surprise, he knows these works well and is looking forward to bringing them to the concert stage. “‘Phantoms of the Orchestra’ has music that is both haunting and mysterious to put you in the Halloween spirit,” Kalia says. “The pieces on this program capture the spirit of Halloween: the Mussorgsky features
screaming witches and monsters played by the woodwinds and brass, and the music depicts a witches’ Sabbath on top of a mountain, while the Dukas features a trio of bassoons playing the theme of a spellbound broom. I love conducting these works because all of the different sections of the orchestra are featured. Not only that, the music is highly rhythmic with a variety of sounds and moods, and each piece tells a story.” These works were prominently featured in Walt Disney’s landmark 1940 film “Fantasia,” but had all been used as shorthand for terror before. Dukas’ “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” is a short work based on a poem by Goethe in which the power of magic violently turns against a person untrained to use it. It is Dukas’ most famous work, so famous, in fact, that during Dukas’ lifetime The Musical Quarterly commented that the world fame of the work not only overshadowed all other compositions by Dukas, but also eclipsed Goethe’s original poem. Inspired by Russian legend, Mussorgsky’s work is a “musical picture” on the theme of a witches’Sabbath.

it is that time of year again. How to Play Fantasy Football Once relegated only to the nerds and stat geeks, fantasy football has become a mainstream hobby enjoyed each season by nearly 30 million U.S. adults and is widely credited with the country’s increased interest in the NFL. It has become just as common to hear people talk about their fantasy football teams at family gatherings and at the office as it is to hear them talk about the weather. The game has given new meaning to Sunday football and has added a fun twist to the NFL season. The basic concept behind fantasy football is to assemble a virtual team of real NFL players. You are the “owner” or “manager” of your team and compete in a league generally comprised of between 8 and 16 teams although 10 - 12 teams is most common. The other “owners” can be friends, family, co-workers, or complete strangers. Fantasy points are accumulated based upon the actual statistics of the players on your team. You compete each week against someone else in your league and the person who has the most fantasy points at the end of the week is the winner for that week. The teams with the best records at the end of the fantasy season make it to the playoffs and eventually the top two face each other in the Super Bowl (generally Week 16 of the NFL season). Draft Your Team Perhaps the most fun time of the season is Draft Day. This is the day that everyone picks the players for their team. The goal is to select the players that you think will be the most productive over the course of the season. In standard leagues, teams are comprised of 1 quarterback (QB), 2 running backs (RB), 3 wide receivers (WR), 1 tight-end (TE), 1 kicker (K), and 1 defense/special teams (DST). Owners take turns picking NFL players and an NFL player can only be on 1 team at a time. For example, if you have the first pick and take Adrian Peterson from Minnesota with that pick, nobody else can have him. Drafting a solid team is imperative to winning a league. Never go into your draft without preparing yourself with player projections and rankings. Virtually every league management program (CBSSports.com, NFL. com, ESPN.com) has some sort of rankings built in, but you can also check out fantasy football rankings from sites like Fantasy Football Nerd and FF Toolbox. In addition to your starting lineup, you will draft anywhere from 7 to 15 additional players. These players are referred to as your “bench”. During the season you can replace your starting lineup with one of your Page 4
bench players depending on match up or injury. If this is your first year playing the game and you want to win, the best advice is to avoid the newbie pitfall of drafting players from your favorite team well before anyone else would have. Use the rankings and projections from your research or your league’s software to help you make informed drafting decisions. Taking a kicker from your favorite team with your first pick might guarantee you the opportunity to cheer for him all season long but it seriously reduces your chances of winning games. Scoring Systems In order to draft well, you will need to know your league’s scoring system. Most leagues will have standard scoring (below), but some have extra twists. You may hear the acronym “PPR” which stands for “point per reception”. In PPR leagues, players earn a point for every catch. You may also hear the term “bonus points”. This refers to extra points given to players when they achieve certain thresholds. For example, Drew Brees might earn you an additional 5 points if he throws for 300 or more yards in a game. Most standard scoring leagues award points for the following: * 1 point for every 10 rushing yards * 1 point for every 10 receiving yards * 1 point for every 25 passing yards * 6 points for every rushing/receiving TD * 4 points for every passing TD * 1 point for every extra point kicked successfully * 3 points for every field goal kicked successfully * 1 point for every reception (PPR leagues only) Playing The Game Now that you have drafted a team of players, your league will create your schedule of match ups for the season. Each week you will compete against someone else where the two of you will attempt to “start” the best performing team. For example, if you drafted 3 quarterbacks and your league requires you to start 1, you need to decide each week which of those 3 QB’s will be starting and which 2 will remain on your bench. Bench players do not accumulate points for your team so your job is to determine who has the best chance of putting up the best stats. This may seem easy enough, but once the season is underway and injuries and on-field match ups become factors, the “sit/start” decisions can truly be difficult. If you’ve been paying attention to the season, some of these
The Ladera Ranch News
choices may force you to question yourself and flip-flop back and forth right up until kickoff. Making the right decision is incredibly rewarding, particularly if it results in a win for you that week! Looking for help with your weekly lineup decisions? You won’t have to look far. There are literally thousands of websites from which to choose for fantasy football advice, rankings, projections, news, and more. Every major league platform has rankings to help you. Some sites like FantasyFootballNerd.com aggregate fantasy football rankings from multiple sources and combine them into one easy to use consensus. NFL Network and ESPN have dedicated fantasy football TV shows. You can find free pod casts from thousands of independent sites. Check the newsstand for magazines. The library will have fantasy football books. Sirius/XM Radio even has a dedicated channel for fantasy sports. It won’t be hard to find a plethora of advice and options. Trades and Waiver Wire Injuries (both temporary and longlasting) are a near certainty in the NFL. When you combine injuries with the fact that not all of your players will live up to your expectations and other players who perform well above their low/no expectations (commonly referred to as “sleepers”), there is a very high chance that the team you have at the end of the year will not be the same team that you drafted. As an owner, you will want to upgrade your team when and where you can. As an example, let’s imagine that you have 3 good quarterbacks and 2 average/below-average tight ends. Another owner in your league has poorly performing quarterbacks and 2 great/good tight ends. In this scenario, it would be a good idea to propose
a trade of one of your quarterbacks for one of his/her tight ends. Trades are one way to upgrade your team. The most common place to look for upgrades will be the waiver wire which is simply the term given to players who are not owned by anyone else. You can “pick up” one of these players at anytime during the season but you will be required to “drop” one of your existing players. If for example one of your running backs sustains a season-ending injury, it is no longer in your best interest to keep him on your team as he will no longer be playing. You can drop that player onto the waiver wire and pick up a replacement. This also can be done for players who have not lived up to expectations, particularly if there are better players available on the wire. Check your league for the rules on the waiver wire order. When the waiver wire opens up each week, some leagues have rules indicating who gets to pick and in what order. If two or more owners are all trying to get the same player, the waiver wire order determines which owner can lay claim to that player. Commissioner The commish job is perhaps the most under-appreciated job in the league but someone has to be in charge. The commish determines the rules of the league, organizes the draft date/time, and serves as mediator in all disputes within the league. If your league is playing for money, the commish is usually responsible for holding onto the money and handling the payouts at the end of the season. The best way to learn to play the game is to jump right in. Grab a bunch of your friends and family or join a free public league. Once you’ve mastered the basics you will never watch an NFL game the same way again!

Plant Now for a Beautiful Garden Now and in the Future By Melinda Myers Photo by: Melinda Myers, LLC. Don’t pack away that shovel and trowel. Fall is a great time to plant a few new additions in the landscape. Here are just a few ideas for adding immediate and long term beauty to your garden. Add cool season annuals like pansies, snapdragons, ornamental kale and stocks to brighten the fall garden. Those in milder regions will enjoy them throughout the winter. Consider adding cold hardy pansies. They provide color in the fall garden, survive most winters, and are back blooming in the spring just as the snow melts. Fall is also a good time to plant perennials, trees and shrubs. The soil is warm and the air cooler, so the plants are less stressed and establish more quickly. Select plants suited to the growing conditions and be sure to give them plenty of room to reach their mature size. Plant trees so the root flare, the place where the roots curve away from the trunk, is even with the soil surface. Dig a hole, the same depth as the rootball, and two to five times wider. Roughen the sides of the hole and backfill with the existing soil. Water thoroughly and spread a two to three inch layer of mulch over the soil surface, keeping the mulch away from the tree trunk. Follow a similar planting procedure for shrubs. Plant these so the crown, the place where the stems meet the roots, is even with the soil surface. And be sure to keep the mulch away from the stems. Plant daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and other bulbs in fall for extra color next spring. Set the bulbs at a depth
of two to three times their height deep. Then cover them with soil and sprinkle on a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer, like Milorganite (milorganite.com). This organic nitrogen fertilizer promotes rooting without stimulating fall growth subject to winter kill. Start planting spring flowering bulbs after the nighttime temperatures hover between 40 and 50 degrees. Be patient – waiting until the soil cools reduces the risk of early sprouting that often occurs during a warm fall. Those gardening in the far south and along the gulf coast can purchase pre-cooled bulbs to compensate for the warm winters. Or the chilling can be done at home by storing the bulbs in a 35 to 45 degree location for at least 14 weeks before planting. Those tired of battling the animals may want to plant resistant bulbs such as daffodils, hyacinths, Fritillaria, alliums, Camassia, glory-of-the snow, snow drops, squills, and grape hyacinths. You may find it is easier to avoid the problem than battle the animals with repellents and scare tactics. Plant a few short season vegetables in your garden for fresh-from-the garden flavor this fall. Simply count the days from planting to the average first fall frost to determine how many growing days are left in your area. Select vegetables that will mature and can be harvested in that amount of time. Leaf lettuce, spinach, mustard greens, radishes and carrots are fast growing, cool weather tolerant vegetables that make great additions to the fall garden and your dinner plate. Get these vegetables off to a good start with a side dressing of low
nitrogen fertilizer. Incorporate it into the soil prior to planting or sprinkle a narrow band along the row of plants. This organic nitrogen will provide needed nutrients without damaging the tender seedlings. Extend the harvest season with the help of floating row covers. These fabrics allow air, light and water through while trapping the heat around the plants. No construction is needed; just loosely cover the plants with the fabric, secure the edges with pipes, boards or landscape staples and let the plants provide the support. So be sure to get a jump on next spring’s garden season with a bit of fall planting now. Gardening expert, TV/radio host, author & columnist Melinda Myers has more than 30 years of horticulture experience and has written over 20 gardening books, including Can’t Miss Small Space Gardening and the Midwest Gardener’s Handbook. She hosts The Great Courses “How to Grow Anything: Food Gardening For Everyone” DVD series and the nationally syndicated Melinda’s Garden Moment segments. Myers is also a columnist and contributing editor for Birds & Blooms magazine. Myers’ web site, www.melindamyers. com, offers gardening videos and tips.

S tormy weather P reparations for E l N i ñ o 1. CREATE AN EMERGENCY FAMILY PLAN 2. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN (RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL) 3. PREPARE A DISASTER SUPPLY KIT 4. SANDBAG CONSTRUCTION 5. SANDBAG SUPPLIERS 6. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FEDERAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE AND FEDERAL FLOOD INSURANCE 7. IF AN EVACUATION IS ADVISED Discuss what to do about power outages and personal injuries. Draw a floor plan of your home, and mark an escape route from each room. Locate the main electric fuse box, water service main, and natural gas main. Learn how and when to turn these utilities off. Teach all responsible family members. Keep necessary tools near gas and water shut-off valves. Remember, turn off the utilities only if you suspect the lines are damaged or if you are instructed to do so. If you turn the gas off, you will need a professional to turn it back on. Pick one out-of-state and one local friend or reative for family members to call if separated by disaster (it is often easier to call out-of-state than within the affected area). • Post emergency telephone numbers near telephones. • Teach children how and when to call 911, police and fire. • Teach children how to make long distance telephone calls. • Instruct household members to turn on the radio for emergency information. Pick two meeting places: • A place near your home in case of a fire. • A place in your neighborhood in case you cannot return home, • Learn the safest route from your home or job to high, safe ground in case you have to evacuate in a hurry, and be sure to keep your gas tank full!! • Take a basic first aid and CPR class. • Make at itemize list of personal property, including furnishings, clothing and valuables; photograph your home inside and out, which will help settle insurance claims. Keep photos in a safe deposit box. FOR MORE INFORMATION The federal Emergency Management Agency offers free publications on protecting your home and assembling and emergency kit, 1-800-638-6620. El Niño information is available on the agency’s web site: http://www.fema.gov RESIDENTIAL Losses due to flooding can often be cut dramatically by carrying out an effective pre- planned set of actions. The emergency plan may consist primarily of a checklist of things to be done and a little pre-thinki ng about where contents will be moved, who’s going to help, where things will be stored and so on. Among others, items on the emergency “to do “ list might include: • Moving items to be left in the structure to an upper floor or stacked
on top of each other to put at least some furniture above flood level. • Throwing curtains and drapes up over rods. • Pulling up and removing carpets and rugs. • Motors to be removed from furnace and other equipment located in the low levels of the house. • Unplug equipment that can’t be moved. • Assemble medicine, heirlooms, valuables and other items to be for taking during evacuation. COMMERCIAL Commercial and industrial sites offer the opportunity and need for more detailed planning and sometimes new construction or other preparations to facilitate putting the plan into action when necessary. This may include such things as: • Preparing electrical equipment for quick disconnect. • Preparing equipment for quick evacuation. • Keeping raw materials and products on pallets for quick removal. • Providing means for opening all necessary doors manually in the event of a power outage. Arranging for transportation when needed. • Arranging for storage space when needed. • Keeping on hand all items needed for rapid cleanup and restoration of production. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PREPARE A DISASTER SUPPLY KIT • List of important phone numbers (family, physicians, etc.) • Copy of insurance policy. • Credit cards and cash. • An extra set of car keys. • Inexpensive rabbit-ears television antennas to use when cable goes out. • Special items for infants, elderly or disabled family members. • Extra batteries. • Matches. • Clock (wind-up or batteryoperated). • Blankets or sleeping bags. • Scissors. • Plastic garbage bags. • Map of the area. • Clean change of clothes & rain gear. • A supply of non-perishable packaged or canned food and a non-electric can opener. • A first aid kit and prescription medications. • Flashlights and extra bulbs. • Battery-operated lanterns. (Candles and kerosene lanterns are fire hazards.) • Working fire extinguishers . • Battery-operated radio. • Assemble supplies you might need in an evacuation. Store them in an easy-to-carry container such as a backpack or duffel bag. Put aside in a special box in garage. Keep heat-sensitive items inside home and rotate stock throughout season. Batteries can go in refrigerator. WATER Having an ample supply of clean water is a top priority in an emergency. A normally active person needs to drink at least two quarts of water each day, hot environments can
double that amount. Children, nursing mothers and ill people will need even more. You will also need water for food preparation and hygiene. Store a total of at least one-gallon per person, per day. You should store at least a two-week supply of water for each member of our family. If supplies run low, never ration water. Drink the amount you need today, and try to find more for tomorrow. You can minimize the amount of water your body needs by reducing activity and staying cool. Store water in sealed, unbreakable containers. Identify the storage date and replace every six months Sandbags The use of sandbags is a simple, but effective, way to prevent or reduce floodwater damage. Properly filled and placed, sandbags can act as a barrier to divert moving water around instead of through buildings. Sandbag construction does not guarantee a watertight seal, but is satisfactory for use in most situations. Sandbags are also used successfully to prevent overtopping of levied streams and for training current flow to specific areas. Untied sandbags are recommended for most situations. Tied sandbags should only be used for special situations when pre-filling and stockpiling may be required for specific purposes such as filling holes, holding objects in position or to form barriers backedby supportive planks. Tied sandbags are generally easier to handle and to stockpile, however sandbag filling operations can generally best be accomplished at or near the placement site and tying of bags would waste valuable time and effort. If the bags are pre-filled at a distant location, due consideration must be given to transportation vehicles and placement site access. The most commonly use bags are untreated burlap sacks available from feed or hardware stores. Empty bags can be stockpiled for emergency use and will be serviceable for several years if properly stored. Filled bags of earth material will deteriorate quickly. A heavy bodied or sandy soil is most desirable for filling sandbags, but any usable material at or near the site has definite advantages. Course sand could leak out through the weave of the bag (to prevent this double bag the material). Gravely or rocky soils are generally poor
choices because of their permeability characteristics. Sandbag barriers can easily be constructed by two people, as most individuals have the physical capabilities to carry or drag a sandbag weighing approximately 30 pounds the use of sandbags is a simple, but effective, way to prevent or reduce floodwater damage. Properly filled and placed, sandbags can act as a barrier to divert moving water around instead of through buildings. Sandbag construction does not guarantee a watertight seal, but is satisfactory for use in most situations. Sandbags are also used successfully to prevent overtopping of levied streams and for training current flow to specific areas. HOW TO FILL A SANDBAG Filling sandbags is a two-person operation: One member of the team should place the empty bag between or slightly in front of widespread feet with arms extended. The throat of the bag is folded to form a collar and held with the hands in a position that will enable the other team member to empty a rounded shovel full of material into the open end. The person holding the sack should be standing with knees slightly flexed and head and face as far away from the action of the shovel as practical. The shoveler should carefully release the rounded shovel full of soil into the throat of the bag. Haste in this operation can result in undue spillage and added work. The use of safety goggles and gloves is desirable and sometimes necessary. For large-scale operations, filling sandbags can be expedited by using bag holding racks, metal funnels, and power loading equipment. However, the special equipment required is not always available during an emergency. Bags should not be filled more than half full or less than onethird their capacity. PLACEMENT Remove any debris from the area where bags are to be placed. Place the l/2-filled bags lengthwise and parallel to the direction of flow. Fold the open end of the unfilled portion of the bag to form a triangle. (If bed bags are used, flatten or fire the tied end.) Place succeeding bags on the folded or fired portion of the previous bag and stamp into place to eliminate voids and form a tight seal.

W estlake S lips by S anta M ar g arita Santa Margarita lead at halftime, but Westlake surged to upset the Eagles, 21-14
Senior linebacker Tanner Matthews scoops up a fumble for the Santa Margarita Eagles. Matthews finished the night with 11 tackles, a sack for a loss, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. By: Sean Zeitler Photos: Robert Russell Santa Margarita Eagles went into last Friday’s matchup with Westlake High School riding a three-game winning streak behind an offensive unit that was averaging 44 points a game. It was clear from the start of the game that things would be different and this was going to be a defensive battle. Santa Margarita Eagles managed to put up seven first half points courtesy of a KJ Costello 24-yard touchdown run to end the first quarter which would ultimately send the Eagles into the locker room with a 7-0 lead. Trailing the Warriors 21-7 in the fourth quarter Santa Margarita Quarterback, Costello connected with senior receiver Maxx Lewis on a 30-yard touchdown pass to bring the Eagles within seven with: 54 seconds remaining. The Santa Margarita
Eagles almost recovered the onside kick and were handed their first loss of the season. However they now sit at 3-1. Costello ended the night going 20-39 for 253 yards, one passing and one rushing touchdown with his first two interceptions of the season. On the receiving end of those passes were Dylan Crawford who hauled in seven catches for 97 yards, Grant Calcaterra’s seven catches for 76 yards, and Maxx Lewis who had three catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. Junior Trey Green finished the night with 12 carries for 50 yards. Defensively, the Santa Margarita Eagles sustained a number of injuries but there were several bright spots as the Eagles head into week four’s matchup with Martin Luther King High School. Senior linebacker Tanner Matthews could make a highlight reel out of his performance last Friday as

he was a thorn in the Warriors’ side all night. Matthews finished the night with 11 tackles, a sack for a loss, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Senior Matt Mark also made his defensive presence felt as he tallied 11 tackles as well.
Tonight the Santa Margarita Eagles (3-1) will host Martin Luther King High School (2-1) at Saddleback College in the first true home game of the season. King is coming off a 45-38 overtime win over Riverside Poly. Kickoff is set for 7:00pm.

Ton of Tesoro Titans 45 Cody, 23 Smith, 16 Ramchandani, 80 Pope tackle West Covina ball carrier By Shane Koren and Sarah Hall Photography by Aaron Hartwell The Tesoro Titans beat the West Covina Bulldogs on Friday September 18. This was a blowout of a game with the final score being 35-0 Tesoro. At the beginning of the game, Tesoro started with the ball and drove 70 yards to score. Although the Bulldogs had two missed field goal attempts, they were not able to score any points against a very tough titan defense. The Titans scored many touchdowns by driving 80 plus yards to score
multiple times. Devon Modster (12) had an amazing game scoring a plethora of touchdowns through the air to some of his favorite receivers. Tesoro’s running backs also had a good game by scoring touchdowns on the ground. Tonight, the Titans will face the Corona Del Mar Sea Kings at Corona Del Mar. Kickoff is at 7 PM. After snapping very long win streak last year, the Sea Kings will be looking for vengeance.

Stunning Romance of Mission Gala Celebrated Father Serra Canonization Photos by: Carla Rhea A record 510 guests attended Mission Preservation Foundation’s Romance of the Mission benefit gala on the grounds of the Mission San Juan Capistrano and among the celebrations were Blessed Father Junipero Serra’s canonization and recognition of honorees Bette and Wylie Aitken. Net proceeds of $265,500 were raised and will be directed toward Mission preservation projects. A beautiful evening was the setting under the stars as the opening reception took place in the Mission’s lush front gardens with tray pass hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. Guests were then directed to the Ruins of the Great Stone Church for the concert and program honoring the Aitkens and marking the canonization celebration of Father Serra. Mission San Juan Capistrano Executive Director Mechelle Lawrence Adams welcomed attendees and in her opening remarks said, “We are ready to enter the world stage as Pope Francis makes his historic visit and officially recognizes Blessed Serra as Saint Serra next week. We stand ready because you and our Mission Preservation Board, members, staff, and volunteers have made it possible.” The evening’s highlight was a swinging concert in The Ruins of the Great Stone Church with lead singer Lee Lessack in a tribute to Frank Sinatra on his 100th birthday. The production called “That’s Life!: A Toast to Sinatra” featured beautifully harmonized renditions of Sinatra’s most famous hits including Blue Skies, That’s Life, New York New York and a benefit gala tradition, When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano. Mission Preservation Board President George O’Connell recognized Bette and Wylie Aitken citing their extensive support of critical Mission preservation projects and other charitable causes in Orange County. As guests left the concert, official Mission bell ringers Nathan Banda, Michael Gastelum and Rafael Gutierrez led a historic bell ringing to celebrate the evening and upcoming canonization of Blessed Father Serra. Attendees then walked through the historic Resurgam displaying a life-sized carved statue of Father Serra that will serve as the centerpiece of the exhibit marking his canonization. Mission San Juan’s Main Courtyard was exquisitely set for a gourmet plated four-course candlelight dinner masterfully prepared and served by The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel. Wine parings were provided by Cameron Hughes and Smith and Hook. Reverend Monsignor J. Michael McKiernan introduced Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange Bishop Kevin Vann who led the invocation prior to dinner. Gala committee members were recognized by Don Dorkowski while George O’Connell offered a toast to the Aitkens and publicly recognized all past benefit gala honorees. An opportunity drawing featured a Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel get-a-way, Montana Sporting Club experience and 14K white gold and diamond cross. Exquisite floral arrangements were designed by Floral Occasions of San Juan Capistrano and each guest received embossed chocolates (a favorite of Fr. Serra) specially made by Trello Cioccolato with a Father Serra charm attached. The Mission was founded on November 1, 1776 by Padre Junipero Serra as the seventh in the chain of the twenty-one California missions established by Spain. Over 70,000 fourth grade students visit the Mission as part of their field trip learning about Early California history. Mission San Juan Capistrano is owned by the Diocese of Orange. Its fundraising entity, the Mission Preservation Foundation, is comprised of business and community leaders committed to ensuring the long term preservation and viability of Orange County’s only Mission. The Mission receives no funding from either the Church or the State of California and must charge admission funds as a means of providing continued public access.

From heart-warming ballads, beautiful Viennese waltzes and beloved arias to classic movie favorites, Latin dancing and the furious speeds of Mága’s traditionallycostumed Gypsy band, Mága and cast will present a European musical production with a zesty, unforgettable
dash of Hungarian paprika, live on stage at Segerstrom Center for the Arts! Reminiscent to the flair of André Rieu, Zoltán Mága’s technical and expressive brilliance on his violin makes him a worldwide phenomenon! Mága has performed in nearly 100 countries on five continents, playing before kings, heads of state, church dignitaries, world-famous movie stars and packed arenas in his native country and other major European cities. American audiences will recognize Mága from the March 2015 premiere of his PBS national television special, Zoltán Mága: From Budapest with Love, recorded at the beautiful, historic Vigadó Concert Hall in Budapest.

and more. Audiences throughout the world adore Mága for his charismatic talent, warmth and beautiful artistry.

Think outside the lunch box to make school lunches they’ll love Many parents prefer packing their kids’ school lunches for a number of reasons, from cost savings to the confidence of having better control over what their children eat. But packing the same-old, sameold every day can get tired fast for both parent and child. By adding a dollop of creativity to packed lunches, parents can ensure they serve something
Page 14
kids will enjoy throughout the school year. “Packed lunches are a great option for families that want to emphasize positive eating habits while controlling costs,” says Lorraine Hale, category director of new Sara Lee Snack Cakes. “Any parent can tell you, however, that it can be a challenge to come up with five different menus every week throughout the school year. Kids are much more likely to eat a lunch that offers a variety of fun and balanced options!” Here are some ideas for creating appealing, balanced lunches parents will feel good about and kids will want to eat: * Beverages - Replace sugar-filled regular soda and fruit juices with healthier beverages. Water is simply the best calorie-free, highhydration beverage, so use it in place of sports drinks or even diet soda. Flavored waters can tickle the taste buds of the pickiest drinkers, without adding calories or sugar. And never pack so-called “energy drinks” in a child’s lunch; many are high in sugar and caffeine, and some school districts have banned them altogether. * Sandwich bread - There are so many great choices for sandwich making, and whole wheat bread can be part of a nutritious lunch. Get creative incorporating whole grain into your child’s lunch, including breads made from different types of whole grains like oats and
The Ladera Ranch News
barley. * Sides - Sure, you would love it if your kids munched on fresh cut veggies at lunchtime, but it’s the rare child that has such a refined palate. Most kids would prefer a bag of chips. Want to combine both competing desires? Veggie chips can be a fun, yummy occasional side that kids love. Veggie chips take the chip concept to the next level with enticing colors and flavors, and the crunch that kids love. As a bonus, the chips can be a great way to introduce kids to new vegetables they might not otherwise try like yucca, parsnips and turnips. * There’s room for dessert - in moderation, like everything else - and a little something sweet can help kids get through the day, either as a sweet ending to lunch or an afternoon snack during the homework crunch. Individually wrapped options like new freshly baked snack cakes, make it easy to give kids a perfectly portioned pat on the back for their hard work throughout the school day. Each box of Devil’s Food Cakes, Golden Fudge Cakes and Crumb Cakes contains six or eight individually wrapped cakes, making them easy to include in packed lunches. Finally, think beyond the brown bag; insulated bags are reusable and available in appealing patterns and trendy colors and can help keep lunches at safe temperatures all morning. Be sure to wash out these reusable bags every day, and clean ice packs thoroughly before refreezing them.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.
