High-Speed Rail Authority Seeks Proposals for Right of Way Services
The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) announced it is soliciting a Request for Proposals (RFP) from qualified right of way and real property services firms. This RFP may lead to the award of one or more full-service contract(s) totaling as much as $40 million. This comes on the heels of the Federal Railroad Administration’s Record of Decision to approve the Authority’s alignment from Merced to Fresno. “The High-Speed Rail Authority understands the importance of starting right-of-way coordination early,” said Authority CEO Jeff Morales. “This RFP will enable us to assemble highly qualified teams of engineers, surveyors, and right-of-way professionals to manage land acquisition in a way that minimizes impacts to communities along the route while keeping project timelines intact.” The firm or firms selected to perform this phase of the project will be responsible for providing rights of way and real property services for approximately 1,100 properties that are required for the initial construction segment of the High-Speed Rail Project. The services will be performed primarily in the Central Valley in Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Kern Counties. The firm or firms selected to perform the work may be responsible for tasks that include, among other services: surveying, deed and map preparation, appraisals, land rights and real property acquisition, and relocation assistance services. The Authority will hold a Pre-Bid Conference to give prospective bidders an overview of the project.
The conference will serve as an opportunity for Bidders to ask technical and administrative questions of Authority staff, and to network with other businesses. The Pre Bid Conference has been scheduled as follows: October 4, 2012, 1:30 p.m. U.S. Small Business Administration 801 R Street, Suite 201
Fresno, California 93721 (Wheelchair Accessible) Bidders on the right of way services contract(s) are required to submit proposals by 4 p.m. on October 25th, 2012, and the Authority anticipates issuing a notice of proposed award on November 5th. To access the RFP please visit: http://cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/home.aspx

City to host enrollment for lifesaving study next month The American Cancer Society is seeking people across the nation who want to make a direct impact in the fight against c a n c e r. T h e Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3) will pave the way for the next generation of cancer research. The city of Mission Viejo has teamed up with the American Cancer Society in the battle against the disease by hosting enrollment for the lifesaving study from 3 to 7 p.m. Oct. 25 and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 27 at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way. The primary focus of CPS-3 is to better understand the lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer and, ultimately, to help eliminate cancer as a major health concern for future generations. Folks willing to make a 20-to-30-year commitment to the study who are between 30 and 65 and have never been diagnosed with cancer (excluding basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer) may qualify. Although this is a long study, the time commitment is small, and once enrolled the study simply requires participants to complete surveys every couple of years. To enroll, visit CPS3OC.org or call 1-888-604-5888. Appointments take about 20-30 minutes. Participating in this study is a chance to help the American Cancer Society understand what causes cancer and how to prevent it, so lives can be saved and a world with less cancer and more birthdays can exist. For more information, contact Chi Vu at 949-567-0629 or chi.vu@cancer. org.

By Mark Whittington The big Emmy winners for 2012 were two dramas with a decidedly left-wing slant, as well as the comedy series “Modern Family.” The drama winners were the Showtime terrorism series, “Homeland” and the HBO political movie “Game Change,” according to the Los Angeles Times. “Homeland” received four Emmys, for best dramatic series, best writing, best actor for Damien Lewis as the Marine traitor and best actress for Claire Danes as the CIA agent, with mental health issues, who pursues him. “Homeland” depicts the return of a Marine from Al Qaeda captivity and his reintegration into American life. It is gradually revealed during the season that the Marine is a traitor, a Muslim convert, and a sleeper agent for Al Qaeda. It is suggested that the character may be justified in his treason due to American Middle East policy that involves the deliberate bombing of innocent civilians. “Game Change” won four Emmys as well, for best miniseries or movie, best direction, best

writing, and best actress for Julianne Moore who played a version of Sarah Palin that many who know her did not recognize. Moore, in her acceptance speech, was filled with snark when she said, “I feel so validated because Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs down” according to Brietbart Big Hollywood. “Game Change” depicted Palin, the 2008 Republic vice presidential candidate, as a person of limited intelligence with a raging ego and mental health issues. Breitbart’s Big Hollywood suggested that the movie, factually challenged as it was, was little more than a hit piece against Palin. The movie was greenlit at
a time when Palin was considering a run for the presidency. The idea was that the movie would come out during the middle of the Republican primary season, The portrait of Palin would be so devastating that Palin’s potential run would be derailed. Palin declined to run during the 2012 election cycle, somewhat diminishing the political effect of “Game Change.” The movie does illustrate Palin’s political influence by showing how the Hollywood left was so afraid of her that it resorted to making a propaganda film against her. Mitt Romney, for all of his political power and acumen, had not gotten similar treatment.

GIRL SCOUTS open house for NEW MEMBERSHIP YEAr More than 400 new and returning Girl Scouts, volunteers, and their families descended upon Girl Scouts of Orange County’s headquarters in Irvine for the Annual Girl Scout Open House and Fall Product Rally on Saturday. The event kicked off the new 2012-2013 membership year and offered Girl Scouts the opportunity to tour the headquarters and learn more about Girl Scout programs including travel, camp, and leadership awards. The event highlighted the Fall Product Program, in which girls develop important financial and business skills like goal setting and money management while earning money for their troop activities. At the event, girls tasted the new products including an assortment of nuts and snacks and set personal sales goals and outlined how they plan to achieve their goals. More than 23,000 Girl Scouts from every zip code in Orange County participate in Girl Scouting. Girl Scouts is currently enrolling new members and volunteers and renewing current members – those interested can visit www.GirlScoutsOC.org/join. 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts, the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. Girl Scouts is the leading authority on girls’ healthy development, and builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. In Orange County, more than 23,000 Girl Scouts from every social and economic background are developing values, skills and abilities for success in the 21st century. According to a recent study conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute in conjunction with an independent research firm, women who were Girl Scouts as children display significantly more positive life outcomes than non-Girl Scout alumnae. Girl Scout alumnae have higher perceptions of self, higher rates of volunteerism and civic engagement, higher rates of college education and higher household incomes than non-alumnae. To join, volunteer, reconnect with or donate to Girl Scouts, call (949) 461-8800 or visit www.GirlScoutsOC.org.

Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Discusses Source and Cure of Chipping Upper Front Teeth A nice lady in her middle 50’s came into the office the other day with a chipped upper front tooth. It turns out that the opposing tooth on the lower arch was rotated, and one corner of that tooth hit the upper tooth wrong, and broke it. We patched the chip, but that was not the source of the problem. During one’s lifetime, lower teeth migrate toward the front of the mouth, and then towards the center. If the four lower front teeth stay in alignment with each other, they’ll stay straight. But, if the forward migration pressure is too great, they’ll start to rotate. This has a deleterious effect on the supporting tissues of these teeth because it is harder to keep them clean and the gums healthy. It also has a negative impact on the upper front teeth, making them stick out unevenly, or fracturing them, or as in the case of another of my patients, loosens them and predisposes them to premature loss. The solution is to minimally, imperceptibly (0.25mm per side per tooth) reduce the width of each of the lower front teeth, then moving them back out of harm’s way so that they can’t do any more damage. A removable orthodontic appliance, like a retainer, does the trick. Or, the series of computer-generated aligners from Invisalign which as the name implies are nearly invisible also work for this. Some people may think that nobody sees the lower front teeth, so their alignment isn’t critically important. It turns out, that’s not the case. We need to keep all the teeth healthy and functional. Next time you’re close to a mirror, check out your lower front teeth. If they’re crooked, call me. When you call Please be sure to ask about “Care Credit”, a credit card offering up to 12 months of interest-free credit on dental work. I like this because there are no premiums that have to be paid whether any dental work is required or not Dr. Michael Tessier’s office is located at 28562 Oso Parkway the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways (near the car wash). Most major credit cards and dental plans are cheerfully accepted. Telephone (949) 459-7212.

Gala event Brings $248k for Visually Impaired Children Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda was the distinguished venue for the Southern California College of Optometry’s Second Annual Shared Visions Gala and V-Awards. This was the College’s signature fundraising event with over 300 elegantly dressed guests. With their support, a record $248,000.00 was raised to facilitate top-tier healthcare education and the delivery of innovative vision care for Orange County’s underserved children. The 108 year old institution’s vision is to lead the future of eye, vision, and health care one student at a time. “Our vision is to champion the effort to ensure every child in Orange County is ready to learn by the time he or she enters school by providing essential vision care,” stated SCCO President Kevin L. Alexander, O.D.,Ph.D. Serving for a second year as Honorary Co- Chairs were Community Philanthropists, Frances and Steve Knott, and Orange County PBS SoCal Anchor, Maria Hall-Brown, served as Master of Ceremonies. The evening began with an elegant Cocktail Reception where guests were treated to an array of hors d’oeuvres and a special preview of the College’s acclaimed Shared Visions Art Exhibit, celebrating the artistic accomplishments of artists who are visually impaired or legally blind, highlighting their abilities, talents, and achievements. Featured Artist for this year’s Gala, Arlissa Vaughn, created a “Live Painting” during the Cocktail Reception entitled HOPE FOR VISION, highlighting the Gala’s main focus on children’s vision. Upon the painting’s completion, it was auctioned off to the highest bidder during the fun and fast-paced Live Auction. Barbara Gregory from Fullerton was the lucky winner taking it home for $600. A former resident of Seal Beach, California, Ms. Vaughn, now of Las Vegas, was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa seven years ago. She has participated for the past four years in the Shared Visions Art Exhibit. Dinner was served in the East Room of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, followed by entertainment by Singer Marleena Coulston Barber, who herself is legally blind due to Albinism. Barber was a complete surprise as her one women show “Thank You for the Music” dazzled the crowd. She sang songs that paralleled her life telling stories about each song and how it fit within her challenges growing up. Starting out with Shy – from the Broadway Musical “Once Upon A Mattress”, Reflection – from the Disney animated film “Mullan”, Somewhere over the Rainbow, The Greatest Love of All by George Benson, Nothing – from the Broadway Musical “A Chorus Line” by Marvin Hamlisch, Who Will Love Me As I Am from the Broadway Musical “Sideshow”, At Last, In My Daughter’s Eyes, Feelin’ Good from the musical “The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd”, and Thank you for the Music by ABBA. Barber received a standing ovation after her performance. This year the distinguished V-AWARDS recognized members of the community for their volunteer and humanitarian service and two national vision care programs. These Awards are based upon service and contributions over time that has significantly advanced the stature and integrity of mankind. V-Award recipients this year included; Donald E. Studt, O.D., Abbott Medical Optics – Accepted by Jeff Castillo, James H. Blake, Thomas S. Tooma, M.D. , InfantSEE Program – Accepted by Ronald L. Hopping, O.D., MPH. The evening culminated with a particularly thrilling Live Auction, brimming with once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as a private wine tasting for 20 at Total Wine and More, Glenda Secore from Huntington Beach took that home for $1,300. Keith Collins won the Nvision Laser Eye Lasik surgery for $4,200; a week at Lake Arrowhead with 11 guests at a 3200 square foot private vacation home went for $700 to Franklin Lusby, MD and the instant wine cellar with various wines and a 27 bottle refrigerator went for $1,800 to Dianna Orr-Norton.

auction was followed by a “Fund-a-Need”, which brought in additional dollars for the College to realize its dream of acquiring a Mobile Vision Van to conduct vision outreach within the Orange County community. Established in 1904, SCCO is a private, non-profit, educational institution dedicated to educating today’s minds to provide tomorrow’s eye vision, and health care. The Southern California College of Optometry grants a four-year professional degree, Doctor of Optometry (OD) and a Master of Science in Vision Science (MS). In August 2011, SCCO announced plans to start a Physician Assistant Program – the FIRST IN ORANGE COUNTY – via a two-year graduate degree. For more information visit www.scco.edu/sharedvisions

The Next Roman Catholic Bishop of Orange Announced: Bishop Kevin W. Vann to Succeed Bishop Tod D. Brown as the Fourth Bishop of Orange His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI has announced today that Bishop Kevin W. Vann (61) will succeed Bishop Tod D. Brown as the Bishop of Orange. Bishop Vann, the current Bishop of Fort Worth, Texas, will be installed as the fourth Bishop of Orange in December. Bishop Brown was advised of the new appointment by the Papal Nuncio, the official representative of the Holy See for the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano. Bishop Brown, who was appointed the Bishop of Orange on the 30th of June 1998, reached the mandatory retirement age last year and completes 14 years of service as the leader of the tenth largest Roman Catholic Diocese in the United States. The Diocese is comprised of 62 parishes and diocesan centers and has a population of 1.2 million Catholics. Bishop Vann has distinguished himself during his seven year tenure as Bishop of Fort Worth and in prior assignments as priest, pastor and member of important Church committees and panels. He is recognized for innovative parish-based and diocesan initiatives and a leading member of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Migration. Working within the Texas Catholic Conference, Bishop Vann has encouraged comprehensive immigration reform in the State of Texas and nationally. His outreach to all immigrant communities, including the growing Vietnamese and Asian populations now present in Texas, will be important assets when beginning his assignment in the multi-cultural Diocese of Orange. Bishop Vann is fluent in Spanish and Italian and is developing his Vietnamese language skills. A native of Springfield, Ill., Vann is an accomplished pianist, an expert in canon law and gifted organizer. When installed as Bishop in 2005, the Diocese of Fort Worth served 400,000 area Catholics. Under his leadership the Diocese of Fort Worth has become a larger and more dynamic Catholic community serving over 700,000 Catholics, more than 50 percent being Hispanic. Much of Ft. Worth’s diocesan growth is credited to Vann’s expansion of existing parish communities and an estimated $135 Million in widespread capital improvements. These improvements included the construction of one of the largest Catholic Churches in the United States serving a Vietnamese congregation - the Arlington (Texas) Vietnamese Martyrs Church. He restructured the local Catholic School system to a cost-based tuition system to ensure the financial viability of each school, while also creating a multi-
Bishop Kevin W. Vann
million dollar scholarship fund to provide tuition assistance. His leadership further contributed to the expansion of Catholic Charities in the region and the opening of a new facility to accommodate that ministry’s growing needs. During Bishop Vann’s tenure the number of seminarians, ordained priests, women religious and lay Catholics serving the Diocese of Fort Worth has significantly increased. In 2012, the Diocese established a new parish to serve university students and a new elementary school. Bishop Vann was instrumental in the development of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter - to allow for the ordination of former Anglican priests and to accept former Anglican communities into the Catholic Church. One former Anglican priest was recently ordained a Catholic Priest by Bishop Brown to serve in the Diocese of Orange.
Bishop Vann is the Ecclesiastical Delegate of the Holy See for the Pastoral Provision in the United States, which was established by Pope John Paul II in 1981 to accommodate full communion with the Catholic Church for Episcopal priests and laity. In response to Bishop Vann’s appointment as his successor, Bishop Brown said: “The Diocese of Fort Worth has enjoyed a dynamic period of growth and the demands for comprehensive pastoral services there are not unlike those we have experienced, here in the Diocese of Orange. Bishop Vann enjoys an enviable record of success and I am exceedingly pleased by his appointment as my episcopal successor. “While we have accomplished much in the years since I succeeded Bishop Norman MacFarland, including the recent acquisition of the former Crystal
Cathedral and its campus, much work remains to be done. This work will require an administrator with proven skills and a spiritual leader with an abundance of faith. Bishop Kevin Vann has these attributes and much more. We are all blessed by his selection and I assure you - that I will do all I can to help make his transition to this important new responsibility enjoyable and productive. “I plan to address the Diocese sometime soon and to reflect on the journey we have taken together. For now, the news is not about me - it is about our Diocese of Orange stepping into the future with its dynamic new leader. “Let us celebrate this news and warmly, welcome Bishop Vann into our spiritual lives and our diocesan community.”

Local Teenager Unites Our Community Through His Music by: Ria Ciscone When 16-year-old Ian CastilloUrrego heard that two of his young friends were diagnosed with cancer, he knew he needed to step forward and offer his support. As Ian put it, “Why not help with my music?” In no time, Ian, a graduate of Rancho Viejo Montessori School and now a sophomore at Trabuco Hills High School , joined forces with three local moms to plan what turned out to be a wildly successful, sold-out event held at Dove Canyon Country Club. The evening started out with champagne, hors d’oeuvres and homemade treats baked and sold by Ayden Elsasser under the guidance of his cooking mentor, Suzanne Daniel. Seven-year-old Ayden was diagnosed earlier this year with a malignant Posterior Fossa Medulloblastoma (pediatric brain tumor) and has since started aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatments to the brain and spine. He was there in force, greeting his guests and proudly handing over his creations. The evening also boasted a silent auction chock full Page 16
of coveted items such as rounds of golf at Dove Canyon Country Club, Guys Day Out on a fishing yacht and A Week in Ka’anapali. Guests then enjoyed a delectable dinner of Atlantic Salmon and Crusted Flat Iron Steak. Unfortunately, the other honoree of the evening, fifteen-year-old Kabina Best Cressey, passed away just prior to the event. When Ian Castillo-Urrego sat down at the piano, perfectly positioned among the 150 attendees, his original works poignantly captured the mood; a blend of sadness and of hope. Kabrina’s image sat atop the piano as Ian played for the supporters, who spontaneously rose to their feet on several occasions. Both Ayden and Kabrina’s mothers, Misty Elsasser and Karen Cressey, courageously stood in front of the crowd to voice their appreciation. There were tears, laughter and an enormous amount of love echoing throughout the evening. Through ticket sales and donations, the evening raised approximately $20,000. These funds were distributed through The Talbert Family Foundation, which is dedicated to
The Ladera Ranch News
Ian Castillo-Urrego, with Kabrina Cressey by his side
providing direct financial support to local families suffering from catastrophic illnesses, primarily cancer. The Talbert Family Foundation donates 100% of the monies from the public to the families it supports. The proceeds from Ayden’s bake sale went to the kids’ Treasure Chest at
CHOC’s Outpatient Infusion Center . Also, monies from the evening’s raffle went directly to Grayson Smiley, another young man battling a brain tumor. It was awe-inspiring to witness one young man and our community rally around such an important cause.

Santa Margarita Gets Costly Win Over St. Bonaventure
The Eagle defense stuffed St. Bonaventure ballcarrier Zachary Green on a two point conversion attempt to maintain a one point lead in the fourth quarter. Story and Photos by Steve Wylie Eagle fans celebrated a nailbiting 35-27 victory over the number four-ranked Seraphs of St. Bonaventure (Ventura) Friday night at Saddleback College, but Santa Margarita announced Saturday that All-Everything quarterback Johnny Stanton suffered a season-ending knee injury. Stanton tore his anterior cruciate ligament and will undergo surgery. Despite the injury, Stanton led the Eagles to victory and finished the game on the field. After crushing their two most recent opponents, the Eagles knew that the Seraphs would give them much tougher competition. This would be a preseason game with playoff intensity. And the Seraphs certainly brought their “A” game. Led by standout sophomore quarterback Ricky Town and senior running back Zachary Green, the Seraphs scored against the vaunted Eagle defense on each of their first three possessions, with two rushing Page 18
touchdowns by Green and a nifty fourth down pass to wide receiver Montre Lee. However the Eagles were not intimidated by the powerful St. Bonaventure attack. They matched the Seraphs’ scores touchdown for touchdown on two Stanton passes, the first to River Cracraft who finished with an athletic dance to the end zone, the second on a 44-yard strike to Kyle Sweet, and a one-yard scrum at the goal line by Ryan Wolpin. In the third quarter, the Eagles stepped up their execution on both sides of the ball, showing why they continue to deserve their numberone ranking. They took a 28-21 lead with 2:23 remaining in the third quarter on a patented Johnny Stanton dive over the pile into end zone. The defense thwarted St. Bonaventure drives for the first time. One of the game’s most critical plays occurred in the third quar-
The Ladera Ranch News
ter, as the Seraphs pinned Santa Margarita deep in their own territory. But Johnny Stanton eluded an almost certain safety in his own end zone, turning near disaster into a first down. Nevertheless, St. Bonaventure never gave up. With 2:50 remaining in the fourth quarter, Zack Green blasted a six-yard touchdown to close the gap to one point at 2827. Confident in Green’s ability to pound the ball, Seraph Coach Todd Therrien called for a two-point conversion attempt to take back the lead. But the Eagle defense responded, and stuffed Green short of the goal line. On the Eagles next drive, Stanton marched the team to midfield, where Ryan Wolpin took a handoff and exploded into the Seraph secondary on a fifty-yard romp to the end zone. Alex Ury’s flawless performance in points after touchdowns brought the score to 35-27. With 1:30 remaining in the game,
St. Bonaventure still maintained hope of a comeback on a gameending drive. That hope was dashed in the final 47 seconds, as Eagle linebacker Hunter Graham sacked quarterback Ricky Town, who lost the ball. The fumble was recovered by defensive end Taylor Prenevost, sealing the Eagle victory. Santa Margarita has a bye week on September 28, opening their Trinity League regular season at home against the rebuilding Friars of Servite. They will probably use those two weeks to adjust to the loss of Johnny Stanton. Eagle head coach Harry Welch paid this tribute to Stanton in last Sunday’s Orange County Register: “He’s one of the best athletes I have ever known in 43 years of coaching, and he’s a better human being than an athlete.” Most Eagle fans would heartily agree.
