PRESENTS
We’re Back!
Dear Valued Customers & Friends, As you may know, about a year ago, we decided to close our doors to our San Clemente shop and retire. We enjoyed a year-long break, but during that time, I was getting phone calls from many of our customers and friends that still needed my services. I realized that I still really wanted to help customers with their optical needs, so I decided to re-open Vision Crafters in a new location in Laguna Hills. We are officially back open for business!

The Kentucky Derby, presented by Woodford Reserve, is a top rank, Grade I stakes race for 3 year old Thoroughbred horses. The race distance is one and one-quarter miles long, and it is run on the dirt racetrack at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Colts and geldings in the race carry 126 pounds (57 kg), and fillies in the race carry 121 pounds (55 kg). 20 horses compete in the Kentucky Derby, which is a larger field size than most horse races; where on average 8 horses race against one another. The 20 horses racing in the Kentucky Derby must first travel along the Road to the Kentucky Derby, which is a series of 35 races taking place at tracks across the country and the world. Points are awarded to the top 4 horses that finish in each of those 35 races, and the 20 horses with the most points earn a spot in the starting gate in the Kentucky Derby race. The Kentucky Derby winning purse is $2 million. The Kentucky Derby takes place on the first Saturday in May every year, and typically draws a crowd of 155,000 people. It is the longest continually held sporting event in America, and it is one of the

San Clemente News is an independent weekly newspaper published every Friday. We are not owned or operated by any of the big daily newspapers. The views and opinions expressed are those of the publisher and not any organization. No reproduction, in whole or in part is permitted without the express written permission of San Clemente News. Legal Advertising: The San Clemente News was adjudicated by the Orange County Superior Court as a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code 6000 case #06CC00655 on March 21, 2006 and as such is the appropriate newspaper to place legal and public notices for the South Orange County Judicial District and the Cities of Dana Point and San Clemente.
Visitors to San Bernardino National Forest will be able to enjoy picnic areas, trailheads and recreational day-use sites without having to purchase an Adventure Pass on six days this year. These “fee free” days are offered across the country by the U.S. Forest Service: • June 9: National Get Outdoors Day • Sept. 22: National Public Lands Day • Nov. 11 - 12: Veterans Day Weekend “From Wrightwood to Idyllwild, the San Bernardino National Forest offers a variety of rich experiences
for visitors,” said Forest Supervisor Jody Noiron. “You can play in snow, hike the tallest peaks in Southern California, explore hundreds of miles of dirt roads and immerse yourself in nature.” For non-fee free days, the Adventure Pass costs $5 for a day pass and $30 for an annual one. Funds raised go back in to recreation sites for maintenance of parking lots, bathrooms, trash cans, signage, trailheads and other recreation facilities.
Visitors who inadvertently commit a daily Adventure Pass on “fee free” days can have it replaced free-ofcharge. Forest visitors are reminded that even though the Adventure Pass fee will be waived, other fees such as campground, reservation and group site fees will still be applicable. For more information on the National Forest Adventure Pass, visit our website at http://www.fs.usda.gov/ adventurepass.

Traditions of the Annual Kentucky Derby Kentucky has been home to horse racing of one kind or another since the late 1700’s. When the Kentucky Derby first began in 1875, America had not yet discovered the automobile. Horse-and-buggy was the popular mode of transportation. Today, the Kentucky Derby is the longest running sporting event in America. Along the way, traditions developed that give the race its own unique flavor. Every year thousands of people attend the annual “run for the roses” held at Churchill Downs while millions of others sit glued to their television sets. Kentucky Derby Tradition #1: Fashionable Hats
To attend the Kentucky Derby, it is traditional for women to wear hats the more outlandish the better. This tradition is a throw-back to England’s Royal Ascot traditions as embodied
arrangement. It began in 1896 with an arrangement of pink and white roses being presented to the year’s winner. In 1904 the roses’ official color became red and current garland arrangement was adopted in 1932. In 1925, a columnist tagged the race “The Run for the Roses” and it has been referred to as such ever since. Kentucky Derby Tradition #4: Waiting for the Next Triple Crown Winner With the Kentucky Derby being the first of three races in the Triple Crown series, high hopes are on the winner of this race. Only 11 horses The Mint Julep has been the have succeeded in winning the Triple traditional beverage of the Kentucky Derby for nearly 100 years. A mixture of 2 cups water and 2 cups of sugar heated to boiling for 5 minutes. Add 6-8 sprigs of fresh mint and refrigerate, covered, overnight. Mix one tablespoon of the mint syrup with 2 shots of your favorite Kentucky bourbon and pour over crushed ice. Add a fresh mint leaf for garnish. Now you’re ready to watch the race. Kentucky Derby Tradition #3: The Garland of Roses Winning the Kentucky Derby entitles the winner to the now infamous floral by Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Wide-brimmed, gaudily adorned, the hats are a mainstay of the race. Kentucky Derby Tradition #2: The Mint Julep
Crown while 45 have won 2 out of the 3. Of those 45, a scant 21 actually won the first two races, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, making them viable contenders to go all the way only to lose the final race, the Belmont. Horseracing is full of time-honored traditions and the Kentucky Derby exemplifies the best of these. Being fortunate enough to attend the race entails carrying out these traditions and enjoying your Kentucky Derby race day to the fullest. Hats on, mint julep in hand and.....They’re OFF!
From floor to fixtures: Top spring home decor trends add style and personality Spring is in the air, which means it’s time to refresh your indoor spaces to reflect the energy and optimism of the season. The top home decor trends of spring 2014 take a fresh approach to traditional design elements to create an aesthetic that is fresh and full of life. Best yet, the trends are easily accessible, so anyone can update their space with a few simple tips. Carpet More homeowners are seeking the beauty, comfort and safety that carpet provides, making it a top flooring trend for spring 2014 and beyond. What types of carpet are popular?“New soft fibers,” says Vickie Gilstrap, director of design services for The Dixie Group, a top U.S. carpet manufacturer. “Consumers went away from wall-to-wall carpet, as hard surface flooring gained in popularity. Then, people began to miss the softness and warmth of carpet. Carpet absorbs sound, making homes quieter, and traps dust at the base of the carpet fibers so that
Page 6
dust doesn’t circulate in the room air.The soft fibers give us a reason to put carpet down again.” She is also seeing increased interest in “mixed-media” carpet styles - with hi-lustre and low-lustre yarns used in the same carpet. Additionally, patterns are being featured on top of texture, giving a multi-dimensional appearance to flooring. Not only stylish, carpet is healthy, too. People with allergies or other sensitivities can choose carpet as a way to improve indoor air quality. A recent study supports previous findings that carpet, when effectively cleaned, traps allergens and other particles, resulting in less dust, dander and airborne contaminants escaping into the air. For more information, visit the Carpet and Rug Institute at www.carpet-rug.org. Color Thoughtful use of color in home design is a top trend for 2014. “Colors are getting warmer,” notes Gilstrap. “Taupe is the bridge color taking us from gray to browner tones. Warm pinks are returning, as well as warmer greens like moss and olive - even apple.” Keep in mind adding personality to a space through use of warm color doesn’t necessarily require a complete interior overhaul. Consider
The San Clemente News
incorporating spring colors using accent pieces. It’s easy to switch up pillows, throws or artwork without investing a lot of time or money. Plus it’s a fun way to update the personality of your favorite spaces every season. Texture and pattern This spring, more homeowners are using textures and patterns to make a visual statement through design. Strategic use of texture and patterns can highlight certain interior spaces, manipulate the light within the room and influence scale. Blending both adds visual interest and helps homeowners create a unique space to call their own. “Layering of pattern and texture - in floors, walls, upholstery, window treatments - gives a more individualized feel,” says Gilstrap. Scared of mixing patterns and textures? She suggests placing patterns on stairs or in hallways. If big and bold patterns aren’t your taste, consider sticking to small, neutral patterns that can be a subtle way to add visual interest and design complexity to interior spaces. Lighting Lighting plays an important twopronged role: it makes a space functional and also helps define its design aesthetic. Adjusting the task lighting within a room can instantly make the space more livable and
highlight the design motif. Another easy lighting update is purchasing new lamps or simply adding new shades to existing lamps - a great way to refresh a space with minimal cost. Keep in mind, when selecting fixtures, there’s no longer a need to avoid gold tones. “Gold is coming back- we are seeing more gold and copper and less silver,” says Gilstrap. Want to really redefine your home’s lighting? Ornamental lighting is big this year with designers thinking outside the box when it comes to how and where these fixtures can be used. For example, dramatic chandeliers are no longer reserved for formal spaces such as the dining room or foyer. This spring, you can add a touch of elegance to any space by adding a stylish chandelier, plus it doesn’t take up much design real estate space. Bedrooms, basements and bars are just a few unique areas where chandeliers can be featured. - (BPT)

Tom Petty’s Lake House!
It never occurred to Tom Petty that gathering a group of friends to play music wouldn’t make them big stars. After meeting Elvis at the age of 10 and later watching the Beatles, he knew he was meant to be a musician and approached it with laser focus. In the late 60s at age 17, Tom put his theory into practice gathering several buddies, took guitar lessons, added a few more instruments to the mix and was soon on his way to stardom. Nothing deterred him or slowed him down, even the disapproval of his father who was disappointed that his son would take the artistic route rather than what he considered a more masculine sports-oriented road into adulthood. Tom’s first band, the Epics, started out in his hometown Gainesville, Florida playing locally between odd jobs to keep them financially afloat until they hit the big time, which he knew in his heart was just a matter of time. The Epics evolved into Mudcrutch, a popular band at the Gainesville University of Florida area bars, but failed to get outside attention. His next band, the Heartbreakers, quickly turned things around making it to the top in
1976 with their hit song Breakdown. Tom and the Heartbreakers never looked back producing classics such as American Girl, Free Falling, and I Won’t Back Down. A career that lasted over 45 years. Music poured out of Tom Petty like a fast moving river producing hit after hit, many used for movie theme songs and sound tracks. Just as he imagined as a young boy, Tom and the Heartbreakers became one of the most popular American bands in history, garnering virtually every important award in the music industry and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Petty died in October at age 66 and now his much-loved Lake Sherwood getaway near Malibu and nine miles to the Pacific Ocean is for sale. Built in 1931 with walls of local fieldstone, Petty’s retreat has mountain and water views across the natural lake from almost every room and 125feet of shorefront. Deceptively large at 5,300 square feet, the house has three bedrooms and three baths and underwent an expansion in 2004. Its rustic feel from the fieldstone and natural wooded environment is complimented by its balcony
fireplace, redwood-paneled bath with stone bathtub that overlooks the lake and vaulted-beamed ceilings and fireplace in the fieldstone living room. It’s a California house with a European mountain-lake chalet vibe geared to inspire creativity from its barrel-tiled roof to its enchanting terrace. It also has a private deep-water dock where one can sit and dream, launch a boat, fish or swim. Located high above the fog line, the property is guaranteed
bright sunshine and cool breezes. Listing agents are Dana Sparks and Amy Alcini of Compass Realty in Malibu, California. Rock and Roll superstar Tom Petty’s fabulous Lake Sherwood retreat near Malibu is listed at $5.895 million. For More Information TopTenRealEstateDeals.com. Source: compass.com

Child help charity event Raises Over $375,000 The Orange County Chapter of Childhelp hosted its 32nd Annual “For the Love of a Child” Fashion Show and Luncheon at the Fashion Island Hotel in Newport Beach with close to 400 attendees. The event Co-Chairs Linda Burns and Tami Smith anticipate raising over $375,000. Guests were treated to a full runway fashion show by South Coast Plaza which featured the latest fashion trends from Escada, Intermix, M Missoni, Maje, Max Mara, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sandro, Ted Baker London, Weeked Max Mara, Wolford, David Yurman, Bally and Diane von Furstenberg. At the end of the show, Kathryn Cenci of SCP was applauded and received a bouquet of flowers from one of the gentlemen models for her continued support of the Orange County Chapter of Childhelp. The décor was simple yet elegant. The centerpieces created by Devynn’s Garden were a golden vessel filled with a beautiful garden bloom of tulips, stock, hydrangeas and spider mums in various shades of lavender, purple and soft pink. They were truly stunning and one guest at each table had the opportunity to take it home. Every place setting had a box of Godiva Chocolates along with a beautiful program book which was filled with family photos and sentiments placed by Childhelp Members and Donors. The lunch began with an Arugula and Frisse Salad with Marcona Almonds, dried Tart Cherries and roasted Pears, shaved Manchego with Sherry Vinaigrette; Baked Salmon on Squash Risotto, deconstructed Ratatouille with a Lemon Buerre Blanc; alternating desserts of chocolate cake and chocolate cup with fresh berries and raspberry coulis topped with freshly whipped cream. It was a crowd pleaser! Orange County Chapter President, Julie Adams welcomed the National Board Members, attending Past Awardees and luncheon guests. Carol Packard and Dale San Filippo presented the Children’s Friend Award to Tilly Levine. Tilly spoke of her commitment to empowering teens through Tilly’s Life Center (TLC). Her dream is to see all teens across the nation benefit from life skills gained through TLC. She was truly honored to receive this award given to “a person or persons who have demonstrated their love, compassion and dedication to abused and neglected children.” Honorary Chair and National Board Member, Patti Edwards, thanked the incredible Honorary Committee “My heart aches knowing that there are children whose lives have been forever altered by violence, exploitation or neglect. I’m blessed to be part of a mission that not only gives these children the healing and hope they deserve, but also works to prevent abuse from taking place,” said Edwards The Inspirational Award was presented to Beverly Cohen, not only for being a humanitarian and philanthropist, but also her unwavering support of the less fortunate and the most vulnerable. She has given her time, energy and resources for over 30 years to benefit Childhelp’s treatment programs and facilities. Beverly’s memorable acceptance speech was mixed with humor and hope for the underprivileged children in our care. Her fervent belief that everyone can do more and give more to ensure that all children are loved and cared for, was clear as she pleaded to the audience to “do what you can to help.” The lucky winners for the fantastic Opportunity Prizes were announced while the guests were finishing lunch. Some of the items donated were a Bally Amoeba Bag, a David Yurman Oceanica 2 Row Chain Necklace, a Fashion Island Hotel Getaway that included a Maje Paris Bag, a gorgeous Roger Vivier Clutch, a Carolina Herrera shopping spree, the ever popular Dine Around with favorite Orange County restaurants, a Max Mara Extravaganza, a Mario Valentino Bag along with a DVF Shopping Experience plus more, Giorgio Armani Cosmetic Collection, and a Celine Bag valued at over $2,500.

The very excited winner was Jean Campbell.

Kentucky Derby 2018 | Seeing celebrities is an old Derby Day tradition One of the first celebrity sightings dates to 1877 when famed Polish actress Helena Modjeska attended the third running of the Kentucky Derby. In the 1945 book, Down the Stretch, it was noted that Modjeska was impressed by the Kentucky Derby but even more charmed by the mint julep to which she was introduced by Churchill Downs founder M. Lewis Clark following the race. Over the years, a stream of celebrities from film, television, music, sports, politics, publishing, fashion and corporate America have been drawn to the Kentucky Derby. On at least one occasion, a celebrity with a more notorious background was the talk of the Derby. The 15th renewal in 1889 brought bank and train robber Frank James to Louisville. The brother of famed outlaw Jesse James and a leader in their outlaw gang, Frank was on hand to watch Spokane take the victory over favored Proctor Knott. In 2007, Churchill Downs initiated a new Kentucky Derby tradition with a celebrity focus by creating a special Red Carpet entrance for VIP attendees and their guests. Kentucky Derby broadcast partner NBC provided televised coverage of the Derby Red Carpet arrivals, giving fans around the globe a chance to see the rich and famous make their way into the world’s most legendary racetrack. Royalty As a direct descendent of England’s Epsom Derby, Churchill Downs’ Kentucky Derby has played host to British Royalty on four different occasions. In 1930, Edward George Villiers Stanley, the 17th Earl of Derby, from whose family name the term “Derby” was derived, became the first English nobleman to attend. Prohibition was in effect at the time and Lord Derby stated his disappointment in not being able to sample a mint julep. “You have a great many advantages I should like to copy for England,” Derby said, “but prohibition is not one of them.”
Page 14
The Earl of Derby was followed in 1951 by the Duke of Windsor, who had renounced the British throne in 1936 so he could wed the American divorcee Wallace Simpson. The 100th running of the Kentucky Derby in 1974 brought Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret and her husband Lord Snowden. Princess Margaret, the sister of the Queen of England, took part in the trophy presentation and awarded winning owner John Olin a specially crafted trophy for the milestone victory. In 2007, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip attended the 133rd Kentucky Derby and watched Street Sense win the “Run for the Roses.” Her Majesty, who wore a lime green wool coat with a matching silk dress and lime green hat with fuchsia trim, arrived two hours before the Kentucky Derby and enjoyed a view of the race and the spectacle surrounding it from a table in Churchill Downs’ Stakes Room, located within the fourth-floor clubhouse. U.S. Presidents Seven politicians who have gone
The San Clemente News
on to become president of the United State have watched the classic race and witnessed the electricity and excitement of the Kentucky Derby. Harry S. Truman was reported as the first and was followed in 1952 by Lyndon Johnson who attended while a Texas senator. Richard M. Nixon is the only president to have attended while already serving in office. He visited in 1968 as guest of Kentucky Governor Louie B. Nunn and commented that if he were elected president he would return to the 1969 Derby. 1969 also attracted two future presidents, Gerald R. Ford and Ronald Reagan. No other president has witnessed more Kentucky Derbys than Ford. Beginning in 1977, Ford and his wife Betty attended almost every Kentucky Derby for 10 years as guests of longtime friend John Galbreath, a former Churchill Downs chairman of the board. In 1983, for the 109th Derby, two past presidents and one future president were in attendance. Ford was joined by Jimmy Carter, the
democrat who had defeated him in 1976, and Vice President George Bush, who would win the 1988 election. Other vice presidents who’ve attended include Charles Curtis, 1931, and John Nance Garner, 1937. Celebrity Owners Although most of the rich and famous who attend are guests of prominent ticket holders, the Derby has also attracted an impressive roster of celebrity horse owners. Since 1990, this group of celebrity owners has grown to include musician Hammer (1992 - Dance Floor, 3rd); composer Burt Bacharach (1994 - Soul of the Matter, 5th & 1995 - Afternoon Deelites, 8th); music producer Barry Gordy (1994 - Powis Castle, 8th); film producer Albert Broccoli (1994 - Brocco, 4th); New York Yankee owner George Steinbrenner (1997 - Concerto, 9th and 2005 - Belamy Road, 7th); University of Louisville coach Rick Pitino (1998 - Hallory Hunter, 4th); and movie director Steven Speilberg (2003 - Atswhatimtalknbout, 4th).

PACIFIC SYMPHONY ANNOUNCES FIRST-EVER TOUR TO CHINA
Music Director Carl St.Clair to Conduct Symphony in Five Cultural Centers, May 9-15, 2018
Carl St.Clair Pacific Symphony today announced the details of its first-ever tour to China and first international tour since the Symphony toured European capitals in 2006. The five-city tour launches May 9, 2018 with a concert at the Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre, followed by performances in Hefei (capital of Anhui province), Wuxi (Jiangsu province), Chongqing (major city in southwest China), and Beijing. The final concert takes place at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, colloquially known as “The Giant Egg” due to its distinctive dome-shaped, titanium and glass architecture. The Symphony’s tour will include works by Leonard Bernstein in celebration of his centennial, as well as Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe, Suite No. 2; Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky (arranged by Ravel); and Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3, featuring soloist Pinchas Zukerman. The visit to China follows another important tour this season to New York City for the Orchestra’s Carnegie Hall debut on April 21, 2018. “We are gratified to represent Southern California on this highly anticipated tour,” says Pacific Symphony Music Director Carl St.Clair. “This is an artistic milestone
Pinchas Zukerman for the orchestra, and I couldn’t be more pleased to be leading this exceptional group of musicians on its first tour to China. This is an artistically significant opportunity for Pacific Symphony to embrace cultural diplomacy and to carry the message of music’s universality across the ocean to the other side of the Pacific Rim. The halls we will be playing have all been built within the last ten years. Some of the world’s leading architects have created contemporary temples of music with stunning acoustics that will beautifully showcase the fine playing of our musicians.” Carl St.Clair, who was personally mentored by Leonard Bernstein, will present works in honor of the composer’s centennial. “I have carefully selected the repertoire for this tour to include quintessential American works such as Bernstein’s ‘Slava!,’ ‘Mambo’ and Overture to ‘Candide,’ which show off Pacific Symphony’s energetic spirit and warm sonority.” He continued, “Additionally, we will be performing 18th-, 19thand 20th-century masterworks by Mozart, Mussorgsky and Ravel that display Pacific Symphony’s incredible versatility and virtuosity.” Pacific Symphony President John
Forsyte said: “We are proud of the role we will be playing as cultural ambassadors for Orange County and the community. As Pacific Symphony looks forward to its 40th anniversary next season, we are gratified by the support we have received from the diverse communities of Orange County over the decades. The county’s Asian-American population is the third largest in the country, and the Chinese community in particular has experienced explosive growth. Since 2013 we have been devoted to engaging with the Chinese communities of the region and building on their enthusiasm for symphonic music. Crossing the Pacific Rim to perform for the Chinese population on the mainland is the logical extension of the work we’ve been doing here in Orange County.” Longtime Pacific Symphony supporters Sandy Segerstrom Daniels and Sally Segerstrom have provided a major lead gift in support of the tour. “The Segerstrom family have been generous patrons throughout the 40-year history of Pacific Symphony. This latest gift is yet another example of their undying generous spirit and ongoing commitment to the unparalleled quality of life in Southern
California. The institution is grateful to Sandy Segerstrom Daniels and Sally Segerstrom for their visionary commitment as lead sponsors of the tour,” commented Joann Leatherby, board chairman. “We are proud to have the opportunity to represent Orange County’s vibrant cultural arts scene to audiences across China.” Pacific Symphony is also announcing it has received a dollarfor-dollar match up to $150,000 to support the tour from Overseas Business Consulting, Inc. Gifts designated to support the tour and received prior to April 30 will qualify for this match. Pinchas Zukerman’s appearances with Pacific Symphony on tour have been generously underwritten by Jerry and Terri Kohl. Additional major support for the tour is provided by Charles and Ling Zhang. Pacific Symphony will be offering a patron tour to China that will include opportunities to customize experiences on the tour. Patrons will engage with musicians in unique cultural setting throughout the tour. More information and pricing will be available in February 2018. Patrons should contact Gary Good at 714876-2360 for further information

5 parent tips for picking the right video games
Armed with new game consoles and mobile devices, plus a pocket full of gift cards, kids everywhere are hoping to add a few new video games to their library with some fun post-holiday shopping. With so many choices, parents can sometimes feel a little overwhelmed trying to decide which games are appropriate for their children to play. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), the non-profit organization that assigns age and content ratings for video games, is an excellent resource for helping parents navigate both the real and virtual game aisles. The familiar ESRB ratings including E (Everyone), T (Teen) or M (Mature) are now also assigned to downloadable games and apps in Google Play, Microsoft’s Xbox Live store, Nintendo eShop and the PlayStation Store. ESRB offers the following tips for parents looking for the console games or mobile apps that are perfectly suited to their family: 1. Check the rating. Start with the recommended age rating. ESRB assigns E (Everyone), E10+ (Everyone 10 and older), T (Teen), M (Mature) and AO (Adults Only), which are clearly labeled on video game boxes or on the game’s page prior to downloading from an online Page 16
or mobile storefront. 2. Review the content descriptors. ESRB uses about 30 different content descriptors for depictions involving violence, suggestive or sexual themes, language, controlled substances and other types of content to help parents understand what may have triggered a particular age rating. 3. Look for interactive elements. Interactive elements describe certain aspects of a game or app that may be of interest to many parents and consumers, and can be assigned to downloadable games and apps. These include the sharing of the user’s location, if the game or app enables the purchase of digital goods, if users can interact and/ or if unrestricted internet access is provided. 4. Set parental controls. Today’s gaming devices have parental controls built in, which allow parents to block titles by age rating, ensuring children can access only age-appropriate games and apps. Depending on the device, parents can also control specific features like with whom their children can play online and whether in-game purchases can be made. Just make sure you never reveal your password or PIN! 5. Do your research. Check ESRB rating summaries at ESRB.org, which
The San Clemente News
provide a more detailed explanation of content in many packaged games. Forget to check the rating summary before you set out on a gift-getting expedition? No problem - you can find rating summaries for packaged games on the ESRB app as well! If you still want more information, online reviews are another great resource. These often include screenshots, videos and other details that parents may find helpful in making a final purchase decision. You can also always talk to your local video game retailers - they’re often staffed with experienced gamers who can help guide parents toward the right games
for their family. For downloadable games and apps, parents may want to review the details on the product’s page and some of the user reviews before downloading. Perhaps most importantly, have fun! If you’re not already a gamer, try it - you might like it! Not only is it a great way to bond with your children, it allows you to share and better understand one of their passions. Never underestimate the value of playing as a family; enjoying games together enables you to engage in an ongoing conversation with your children about the games they want and love to play. - (BPT)

TO REACH THE HIGH INCOME HOMEOWNERS OF San CLemente, WHO WOULD LIKE TO BUY FROM YOU.
Sandra White Display Advertising
San Clemente News, publishers of Coto de Caza News l Ladera Ranch News l Mission Viejo News l Newport News l San Clemente News
QUARTER PAGE COLOR This month I have terrific low prices on quarter page full color ad packages. Plus you can choose to either pre pay or pay as you go. But remember these rates apply only if you order this month. Smart business owners and marketing experts agree that the best advertising program is one which brings you clients and customers. Savvy business managers are wise to be concerned about high volume publications that don’t deliver a strong local audience that would generate immediate income for your business. Major daily newspapers like the Times and the Register reach nearly a million readers, but do you really need to pay their high prices to reach your customers in San Clemente, Talega, Dana Point? While some glossy monthly magazines are stylish, their costly rates may not be realistic compared to choosing a highly effective newspaper like these reasonably priced local newspapers which are received by your most likely preferred customers of high income homeowners. This advertising costs you far less money. These five local newspapers are attractive, effective and affordable. Let’s talk today!

If you don’t know her already, get to know Kelly Bennett, the top society columnist in Orange County. She also has the top rated radio show and television program “Breakfast with Gary and Kelly.

We’d like to share some actual quotes from local San Clemente area realtors: “SOLD THE SAME DAY that the ad appeared in the San Clemente News, SOLD THE SAME WEEKEND that the ad appeared in the San Clemente News, BUYERS CAME IN WAVING the ad that appeared in the San Clemente News.” Two factors determine how fast a house will sell: 1.Choose a skilled real estate professional 2.

Why pay more to reach your most preferred customers? Smart business owners and marketing experts agree that the most expensive advertising is advertising that doesn’t work. Savvy business managers are wise to be concerned about high volume publications that don’t deliver a strong local audience that would bring you customers. Major daily newspapers like the Times and the Register reach nearly a million readers, but do you really need to pay their high prices to reach your customers in San Clemente. 8. Why do San Clemente Readers read the San Clemente News? In the year 2006, the Superior Court of Orange County adjudicated (approved) The San Clemente News as the official newspaper for San Clemente. That’s why you regularly see stories about the San Clemente City Council, Chamber of Commerce, and prominent San Clemente people in the San Clemente News.
