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.

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. MUSIC ED 4 U , INC. MUSIC 4 U, U, INC.

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. The Ladera Ranch News Page 7 The Only Weekly Newspaper Exclusively for the Ladera Ranch Area November 25, 2011 The Ladera Ranch News Society Scene by Kelly Bennett Exclusively for the Ladera Ranch News $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.

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.

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.

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.
