WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS JOIN CAL KNIGHTS
BASEBALL CONFERENCE IN MISSION VIEJO
Cal Knights Baseball hosted Orange County’s 1st Annual Baseball
Conference on Monday, November
14, 2011. The event was structured to
provide young baseball players and
their families with information on various baseball topics. The night began
with an introduction by Mission Viejo
Mayor, Dave Leckness, followed by
Tom Calahan, Cal Knights Baseball’s
first coach, who returned to speak
proudly of his early involvement with
the local non-profit baseball academy.
With nearly 300 guests attending,
most were prepared with notebook in
hand to jot down key points from the
Conference’s guests speakers. Local
varsity high school baseball coaches,
Jeremey Wooten of SJHHS, Rick
Brail of THS, Chris Ashbach of MVHS,
and Bob Zamora of CVHS, along with
freshman coach Donn Johnson of
MVHS, all spoke to the theme of the
conference, “How to Make Your High
School Baseball Team.” Additionally,
the audience heard testimony on a
wide range of topics, from how to
prevent shoulder and elbow injuries,
to the importance of performing well
in school, and being a stand-up indi-
vidual on and off the field.
Attendees heard from
orthopaedic surgeon Dr.
Michael Fitzpatrick, former professional Coach
Jim Gattis, Angels Baseball’s Steve Hernandez,
Coach Lou Punto, and
strength and conditioning
Coach Tom Wilson.
The surprise of the
evening, was the moment
that Cal Knights coach,
Lou Punto, introduced
two World Champions to
the group; his son Nick
Punto, and close friend
Skip Schumaker, both
of the 2011 World Series
Champion St. Louis Cardinals. Coach
Punto discussed the importance of
having the heart to play the great
game of baseball, and that it is not
always the “big guy” who makes the
cut. Nick Punto and Skip Schumaker
both discussed similar themes with
the attending players and their families; it was hard work, perseverance,
and team work that took the St. Louis
Cardinals all the way to their World
Front Row From Left: Lou Punto, Skip Schumaker, Nick Punto, Chris
Ashbach, Jeremey Wooten, Donn Johnson. Back Row From Left: Bob
Zamora, Tom Callahan,Jim Gattis, Rick Brail, Tom Wilson, and Dr. Michael
Fitzpatrick. Not Pictured: Steve Hernandez
Series title. Nick Punto couldn’t stress
enough about how important it is for a
team to have great synergy, and that
means playing the game as a true
sportsman, and getting along with
your teammates.
This Conference will be an annual event for Cal Knights Baseball
Academy, which is looking forward
to a new panel of guest speakers
each year.

LOCAL DENTIST
MICHAEL TESSIER REVEALS
WAYS TO AVOID ORAL CANCER
Oral cancer is on the rise for the fifth year in a
row. In the US alone, 100 new individuals will be
diagnosed with oral cancer daily and one person
will die every hour of every day because of this disease.
It used to be that oral cancer was attributable primarily to age and smoking. Now, there is evidence to the effect that it is being transmitted in young
people thru sexual contact.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. Early detection, like
everything else in the body, is the key. We use ViziLite, which is a chemoluminescent test for early visual detection, and a “Brush Biopsy” (from Oral
CDx) when we see a suspicious discontinuity in intra-oral tissue.
Oral Cancer has been a hot topic of discussion in the US over the last few
months, especially since Michael Douglas has been so candid in the media
over the last few months appearing on both Oprah and The View. He, like
many oral cancer patients and survivors, is urging the public to get an annual
oral cancer exam. The Great Dr. Oz even did a segment on it
Lesions from the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which is a sexually transmitted disease can also be discovered by visual dental examinations. There
are more than 100 types of this virus, four of which are associated with oral
cancers. HPV is the number one cause of throat and mouth cancer after
tobacco use. In the United States, 1700 new cases of HPV-associated head
and neck cancers are diagnosed in women and nearly 5700 in men each
year.
The dental community is the first line of defense against oral cancer, because, along with checking teeth, we evaluate the health of the soft tissues
of the mouth in their entirety.
Please keep up with your regular dental visits. If you have any questions,
I can be reached at 949-459-7212. My office is at the corner of Oso and
Antonio Parkways at the south end of Rancho Santa Margarita.

TIM MCGRAW PERFORMS AT CAMP PENDLETON
by Coco Horsager
Over 27,000 attended Tim McGraw’s Tour
for the Troops concert at Camp Pendleton,
November 13. “I am proud to perform for the
troops and to celebrate our heroes, bringing
attention to the need to improve the quality
of life among men and women who serve our
country,” said Tim McGraw, who is not only a
GRAMMY® Award-winning musician, but also
an honorary chairman of the Tug McGraw
Foundation. The Tug McGraw foundation is
focused on providing, “support and resources
for people affected by brain tumors and brainrelated trauma…”. The Air Force Reserve, TriWest Healthcare Alliance and Marine Corps
Community Services sponsored the event,
benefiting The Tug McGraw Foundation.
Tour for the Troops is a program by the Air
Force Reserve that “has brought top entertainers to all branches of the Military both domestically as well as overseas”. The program
raises awareness of the Air Force Reserve
as well as “the morale of the brave men and
women who defend and serve our Nation”. Performers who have participated in the Air
Force Reserve Tour for the Troops include
Kid Rock, Styx, Ludacris, Blake Shelton, Jay
Leno, and Martin Lawrence, just to name a
few. Tour for the Troops shows are free to
DOD ID cardholders and their dependents,
but civilians are welcome and encouraged
to attend.
2011-2012 NFL HOLIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE
jerseys featuring their own name on
the back of the jersey.
Christmas Decorations
Why decorate the house with red
and green when you can decorate
with NFL team colors. There are team
stockings, light up Santa hats, ornaments, and even lights. It could be
a Dallas Cowboy or New York Giant
themed Christmas every year.
By Alan Donahue
The National Football League
(NFL) rolls right through the holiday
season and fans of the sport have
plenty to look forward to with playoffs
and the Superbowl. But how do you
buy things for a NFL fan? There are
actually plenty of things to easily
please a NFL fan during the holidays.
Jerseys
Every Sunday, NFL fans bring out
the food, drinks, and big screen TV,
but other than cheering, they need
something to support their team. A
football jersey is perfect for this, and
you can find one for every team. In
most cases, many of the players
are available too, and even custom
Tickets
There is nothing much better than
watching a football game on a big
screen TV except for actually being
there. Most regular season tickets
are usually sold out, but EBay offers
many tickets and playoff tickets are
released as soon as all of the brackets are announced. Prices can get
up there, but it will be a memorable
experience for anyone who attends.
Wall Murals
If you cannot afford to take the fan
to the stadium then bring the stadium
to them. With full sized wall murals,
fans can feel like they are actually
part of the stadium with these huge,
incredible pictures. Ranging from
$100 to $200, the murals are great
for any NFL fan and are great for any
game room or TV room.
Autographs
MLB fans love the autographed baseballs and NFL
fans will love autographed
footballs. A little pricier than
a baseball, an autographed
football from a legend like Lawrence Taylor or newer players
like Tom Brady will make any
fan’s day and adding in a nice
clear plastic display case would
make an excellent display case.
DVDs
During the NFL off-season, fans
may be going through droughts, but
they can get by that with many DVD
sets. Many teams have sets on the
history of their team, and there are
a couple Super Bowl history sets
that cover the most popular game in
sport’s history. Other DVDs include
the funny NFL Follies and a Hall of
Fame DVD set.

$511,500 RAISED FOR HOMEAID OC
The date 11-11.11 proved to be lucky numbers for HomeAid OC, a nonprofit
John Racunas, Willa Dean and General Lyon and Brandi Uehli
organization benefiting homeless families in Southern California. The sold out
20th Anniversary Celebration raised $511,500 for HomeAid OC.
Since its debut two decades ago, Project Playhouse has captivated millions of visitors, raised a total of $6.3 million and enlisted more than 10,000
volunteers. The result — 48 housing developments and 1,050 beds, providing
4.2 million bed nights over the last 22 years and 386,535 bed nights in 2010
serving victims of domestic violence, abused children and homeless families.
With 450 guests attending, most bid on this year’s playhouses from Project
Playhouse®, the signature annual fundraiser benefitting HomeAid OC. The
2011 collection of fantasy playhouses, which had been open to the public to
tour for over a month at the Irvine Spectrum Center, were built and donated
by generous home builders, Nicholson Companies, Shea Homes, and William Lyon Homes.
“It’s has been amazing to see how the Orange County community has
come together for the last 20 years to inspire hope and build homes that can
change the lives for the homeless ” said John Racunas, standing with his Mara and Keith Murray
Project Playhouse Committee Co-Chair, Brandi Uehli.
HomeAid OC board president Sonia Lister and board member Robert
Grimm helped guide the tribute to General William Lyon for his 20 years of
dedication to HomeAid OC, as a video highlighted the 20 playhouses he built
for Project Playhouse. While he was center stage, he learned of a special
gift delivered in his honor. One of the playhouses William Lyon Homes built
in the past was donated back to HomeAid and gifted to Ryan, a 6 year old
girl whose wish through Make-A-Wish Foundation was to have a playhouse.
The family got up on stage to thank him for his generosity to HomeAid OC
and to let him know that the joy and laughter they hear coming out of the
playhouse is irreplaceable.
“General William Lyon’s consistent commitment to HomeAid OC for the last
20 years is nothing more than inspiring.” Gina Scott, HomeAid OC Director
of Development. “Under his leadership, the team at William Lyon Homes has
been side by side HomeAid building hope and changing lives for homeless
families and individuals.”
Scott and Christine Larson
The Over the Rainbow Cottage playhouse team thanked the room as they
accepted the People’s Choice award, which was voted favorite by the public.
Guests also enjoyed the spirited live auction, fine dining, and silent auction,
as well as danced until midnight to Super Diamond, the ever-popular Neil
Diamond cover band. The winner was also announced for HomeAid’s Extreme
Kitchen Makeover’s opportunity drawing, valued at $33,000, which includes
KitchenAid Stainless Steel Appliances donated by Ferguson Bath, Kitchen
and Lighting Gallery, Custom Cabinetry by Hartmark Cabinet Design and
Manufacturing and Countertops by Famosa Tile and installation by Epic Stone.
Live auction items were a highlight of the evening and included donations
from the Anaheim Ducks, Black, Starr & Frost, Corum, and Ferrari/Masterai
of Newport Beach, Pelican Hill and Sunseeker Yacht Group.
HomeAid Orange County is a non-profit organization founded in 1989 by
the Orange County Chapter of the Building Industry Association of Southern
California, with a mission to build and maintain dignified housing where homeless men, women and children can rebuild their lives. For more information, Tom Nicholson and Gina Scott

BAPTIST CHURCH
CATHOLIC DIOCESE ACQUIRES CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL
The Roman Catholic Diocese of
Orange, now ranked tenth in Catholic
population in the nation, has been
awarded the opportunity to purchase
the Crystal Cathedral. The iconic
Philip Johnson designed structure
and its adjacent 30.9 acre campus
and buildings located in Garden
Grove, CA have been the subject
of complicated bankruptcy proceedings brought by creditors and others
against Crystal Cathedral Ministries.
The decision announced today by
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert
N. Kwan confirmed the selection of
the Diocese by the Crystal Cathedral
Ministries board of directors as the
preferred buyer. The Crystal Cathedral Ministries Board determined the
terms of the monetary and non-monetary Diocesan offer more acceptable
to a competing proposal by Chapman
University.
While the court has validated the
award, occupancy by the Diocese of
the campus and use of the church will
not be immediate. Under the terms
of the agreement, Crystal Cathedral
Ministries may continue to use the
church and other campus structures
for a period of up to three years. During the same period a diocesan pasPage 12
toral center will be established on the
Garden Grove campus and nearby
parish school and church eventually
transferred to the new location.
The initial decision to bid on the
Crystal Cathedral Ministries property
surfaced as an alternative to existing
diocesan plans to design and build a
new Catholic cathedral to serve the
present and anticipated needs of the
growing Diocese of Orange.
Encouraged by a panel of lay advisors and other experts, the Diocese
began the bid process with the intention of acquiring a suitable worship
space and administrative campus
for less overall cost than original
construction would demand and be
available over a shorter time period.
Bishop Tod D. Brown also expressed his personal concern over
the possibility of the Crystal Cathedral church being re-developed for
other than worship use. Indeed, its
continued use as a place of worship
was prominent in the Crystal Cathedral Ministries’s decision to select the
diocese as the preferred buyer.
While critical design upgrades will
be required before the church can be
used as a Catholic Cathedral, today’s
court award accomplishes the original
The Ladera Ranch News
diocesan goals, maintains the Crystal
Cathedral itself as a place of worship,
and underscores the vital relationship
between the Catholic laity and clergy
here in Orange County.
“We sincerely regret the difficult
circumstances Dr. Schuller and his
ministry have encountered. Those
challenges have now enabled the
Diocese of Orange to protect this
wonderful structure as a place of
worship and will soon provide our
Catholic community with a new cathedral, pastoral center, parish school
and more. Despite these wonderful
results, we are nonetheless sad-
dened by the events that led us to
today’s award and offer our respect
to Dr. Schuller and his ministry,” said
Bishop Tod D. Brown.
As Bishop Brown has said many
times during this process, the Diocese would not have been able to
capably bid and then compete for this
property without the invaluable counsel and contributions of many within
its lay community. “Today’s wonderful
news clearly validates that our church
is of the people and the clergy – it is
a shared joy that we have today. And
I am grateful to have been a part of
this effort,” Bishop Brown concluded.

TIPS FOR MAKING CHRISTMAS SHOPPING MORE EFFECTIVE,
EFFICIENT AND FUN
PERSONALIZE YOUR
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
THIS YEAR AND MAKE
YOUR RECIPIENTS
HAPPIER
By Marissa Lee
Sure, you could go to the
mall this Christmas season and
just browse around, picking up
random gifts for you friends and
family. Or you could buy a bunch
of generic gifts--like bath sets-that basically say to the recipient
“Here, I got you...something.
Because I felt like I should.” Or
you can make Christmas shopping more fun, interesting and
personalized this year. I think a
mistake a lot of shoppers make
is going to a store with no real
ideas in mind, then trying to pick
things out and forcing them to
feel like a good idea. This kind
of approach makes no sense
to me. I mean, you spend your
money on someone else, buying them something they don’t
particularly want or need, while
they spend their money on you,
doing the same. It would make
more sense, in this case, for
both parties to simply keep their
own money and use it to buy
something they really like/want/
need. But tradition is tradition,
and exchanging Christmas gifts
is not going to change anytime
soon. So you might as well make
the most of it.
Going to the mall and browsing around, picking up a random
object that seems okay enough
and trying to figure out who on
your shopping list may want it
is no way to go about Christmas shopping. In fact, that’s a
surefire way to end up buying a
bunch of generic, non-customized presents that people will
politely accept and then banish
to storage. Instead, personalize
your Christmas shopping this
year to make it more effective
and efficient. Start by writing a
list of all the people you want/
need to buy presents for (prioritizing it by putting the key
people in your life at the top,
and the people you just kind of
feel obligated--like coworkers,
for instance--to buy for). Then
begin trying to figure out ideas
for each person, writing all of
them down as they come to you.
You don’t need to be too spePage 14
cific, just write down whatever
comes to you. However, while
you come up with ideas, keep
this in mind: most people who
have disposable income tend
to buy themselves things that
they want. So they have or can
easily get the stuff they want.
The trick for people like this is
to come up with something that
they wouldn’t think to get themselves, for whatever reason.
You have to be a bit creative.
That’s why you can’t just go to
Target and buy __________ (fill
in the blank here), because they
would’ve already gotten it, probably, had they wanted it. That’s
why you need to think outside
the box. Is there something you
think they’d like but aren’t aware
of that you could introduce them
to? Is there something they may
have wanted but felt it was too
indulgent for them to buy for
themselves? Is there something
that never would’ve occurred to
them to buy? Is there a way you
could personalize/customize
something to make it special? Is
there something homemade that
they would really appreciate?
These are some of the questions
you can ask yourself when coming up with ideas.
If you have trouble coming up
with ideas for certain people,
call the people they’re closest
to and ask for suggestions. You
might not know for sure what to
get your niece but maybe her
mom or boyfriend has some
good ideas. Barring that, think
carefully about how the person
responded to past presents.
The Ladera Ranch News
Everyone is always polite when
receiving presents, of course,
but you can usually tell what a
person is really excited about,
present-wise. So try to think
back to what gifts went over
well in previous years, and see
if you can glean some ideas from
that. Another tricky way to get
ideas is to go on the person’s
Myspace (www.myspace.com)
or Facebook (www.facebook.
com) profile (assuming he/she
has one) and look around. There
are usually sections there where
people write about their likes,
interests, and tastes in music,
movies, books, etc. Facebook
also has “fan pages” that a person can join when he/she is a fan
of something specific, so that’s
another great place to look.
Once you’ve gotten your ideas
written down you can begin
shopping. I recommend starting
with the internet, as you have
an almost unlimited selection
online for all kinds of things. It
can also be *a lot* less stressful
and therefore more fun. You can
forget about traffic and crowds
and lines, sit in your pajamas,
drink hot chocolate, listen to
music of your choice (that way,
you won’t be forced to listen to
Christmas music), and relax.
Sure, you’ll have to pay for shipping but hey, you’d have had to
pay for gas if you went out anyway. Then again, there’s nothing
wrong with shopping the classic
way if that’s what you prefer. The
point is to start looking around
with the help of your idea list.
That should make Christmas
shopping a lot easier and more
fun. But then, there are always
those people who are almost
impossible to shop for. Either
they have everything they need,
or you don’t know enough about
them and have no real way of
finding out more, or they’re
incredibly picky, or...whatever.
The point is, when it comes to
those extra-difficult-to-shop-for
people, I think the best way to go
is a general gift certificate. I’ve
never known anyone not to appreciate a gift certificate. Plus,
I think they can be a better gift
than just money, as when I get
money I often end up spending
it on boring things like bills but
gift certificates give me a reason
to buy myself something cool. Of
course, there’s still the question
of where to get the gift certificate
for in that instance, which is why
you should go with somewhere
general with a wide selection/
variation of stuff. Not to rely
too heavily on the internet, but
Amazon.com, for example, has
such a wide variety of stuff that
it would be almost impossible for
someone not to find something
they like there.
So yeah. Go through your list,
getting ideas from it or using it
more specifically, find what you
can, and get gift certificates for
those you just can’t find something for. Enjoy your shopping
this year. Hopefully these suggestions will help make your
shopping more effective and
your recipients happier.

The Ladera Ranch News
A letter from the father of Dominique Mainon
and her terminal cancer condition to his friends:
We have all faced difficulties in life. Losing a child is certainly the most
difficult thing any parent has to face. My daughter, Dominique is paralyzed from the waist down with advanced metastasized breast cancer
that has spread to her spinal cord. The doctors gave her 60 days to live in
June. She does not agree with that prognosis, obviously, since it is now
mid-November. She remains totally positive minded even knowing the
eventual outcome of her condition.
Her primary concern in life is to take care of her two teenage children (my grandchildren, needless
to say). My former wife, Jennifer (Dominique’s stepmother), has created a beautiful blog about my
daughter. They have been very close most of her life. Please take a moment to read it. If you are
able to help her in any small way, she will be more appreciative than words can express here.
If you know others, who might be interested in helping her, we would sincerely appreciate it, if you
could pass the blog below along to them too.
helpdominique.blogspot.com
The blog that Jennifer wrote is very special to our family. They have always had a way
of laughing and having fun together, no matter how serious the world around them
can be at times. I think that anyone who reads the blog will find it very special too.
All our love to you all,
John Evans
