Mission Viejo / Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge No. 2444 (“Elks Lodge”) hosted a Costume Party and Silent Auction charity event to raise funds for Orange County Foundation for Oncology Children and Families (“OCF-OCF”). One hundred (100) people attended the event.

Dancing to the Music of Alter Ego were guests in costume as a Horse, a Show Girl, a mummy with Cleopatra, Little Red Riding Hood with the Big Bad Wolf and other assorted fantasy characters. The band joined in the fun dressed as a Biker, Phantom of the Opera, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Pirate and a Rock Star.

Donated gift baskets and raffle items were fantastic and included: a Wine Country Gift Basket, Yosemite Getaway, Seattle Marriott Getaway, USC Tailgating Basket and many more items. The dinner was hosted (donated) by Outback Steakhouse of Laguna Hills. Eddie from Alter Ego donated his time and the other four band members performed at a reduced rate. The Elks Lodge Bingo charity fund paid for event expenses so that OCF-OCF would receive a larger charity donation from the Elks Lodge.

Event organizer and Elks Lodge member Stephanie Bongartz thanked the other Elks Lodge and OCF-OCF volunteers that made this charity event possible: Pam Mackay, Naomi Sanchez, Kay Devine (OCF-OCF), Pat Ohman, Laura Lumley and Bill Bongartz.

Commenting on the event, Stepha-nie Bongartz said, “The research doctors continue to make miraculous progress in discovering new cures and treatments for pediatric oncol-ogy patients. The funds raised by this charity event will be used next spring to augment pediatric oncology medical care with a spirit lifting and fun carnival for pediatric oncology patients and their families.”

The Mission Viejo / Saddleback Elks Lodge No. 2444, celebrating forty two (42) years of service to the Saddleback Valley communities, is one of ten lodges in the Orange Coast District of the Benevolent and Pro-tective Order of Elks (BPOE) whose headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois. The BPOE is a charitable organiza-tion with a 144 year history of giving, “Elks Care, Elks Share.”Photos by Andy Costello and Dennis Lumley

COmmuNITY INVITED TO GRAND OPENING OF NEwLY RENOVATED

STORYTImE ROOm SATuRDAYThe Mission Viejo Library will host

a grand opening of the its newly reno-vated Friends’ Storytime Room for the community on Saturday, Nov. 3.

The special event takes place from 1 to 4 p.m. and will feature informa-tion about the different fun and edu-cational literacy storytime programs, refreshments and craft activities.

The Storytime Room complements the library’s continuing efforts to de-velop children’s reading comprehen-sion skills and love for reading at an early age.

The renovation, which began in June, transformed the Friends Com-munity Room into a picturesque place etched with a Saddleback Valley orange grove and mountain backdrop.

“I smiled when I saw the proposed renderings for the remodel of the story time/community room,” said Dr. Catherine Bailey, a local psychologist. “I knew right away that the remodel would help to make reading an inviting, pleasur-able, shared activity that kids can do with their parents and other adults. The former room was like a blank canvas that needed to be developed into an exciting stage backdrop against which stories come to life. This remodel will make that happen. It is inviting, engaging and will stimulate young imagina-tions and places reading squarely in a ‘fun environment.’”

The public is invited to attend this special grand opening that will be held at the library at 100 Civic Center. For more information, call 949-830-7100, ext. 5107.

On November 19th the Tesoro Boys Basketball Booster Club will be holding their 4th Annual Tee-It-Up Classic Golf Tournament. The tournament directly benefits the Boys Basketball Program at Tesoro High School. Due to budget constraints at the district level high school sports rely heavily on independent fundraisers to provide basic funding for all aspects of their programs from equipment to tournament fees to coaches stipends. The tournament will be held at the beautiful Dove Canyon Country Club and includes lunch, golf, dinner, silent auction and many great raffle prizes. For more information or to be a part of this great event please visit www.tesorobasketball.org .

Fourteen students from Santa Margarita Catholic High School recently returned from the 31st annual Royal Russell Model United Nations Conference held in East Croydon, United Kingdom. The students represented the countries of Chile, Sudan, and Kenya in a mock meeting of the United Nations.

The SMCHS students representatives were Nina Riegelsberger, Jack Bobruk, Alyssa Perkins, Emily Guirgis, Natalie Wil-lis, Melissa Montes, Kate McNally, Anna Marie Jennings, Isabella deJesus, Ellen Liu, Brad Smith, Aneet Atwal, Nicole Gi-gliotti, and Ryan Moussavi. Students Brad Smith and Emily Guirgis won individual awards for their superior performance at the conference. In addition, the delegation of Kenya was recognized as an Outstand-ing Delegation.

At the conference students debated economic, political, and social issues fac-ing the international community. Topics such as biodiversity, the Eurozone debt crisis, and terrorism were amongst the topics that were discussed over the four day conference.

In addition to attending the conference, the students got a chance to tour London. Students visited landmarks such as the Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey.

Center Club, a member of the ClubCorp family of clubs, announced today that it will host the 2012 Club-Corp Charity Classic, ClubCorp’s an-nual philanthropic open house event on the evening of Thursday, January 31st from 6:00 until 10:00 p.m. This year’s event will also celebrate the Grand Re-Opening of Center Club’s ‘Reinvention,’ a multi-million dollar renovation, and pay tribute and honor the visionary founder of the Club, Henry T. Segerstrom.

“Being able to recognize what Henry Segerstrom brought to Orange County 26 years ago is truly a plea-sure,” said Victoria Collins, Chairman of Center Club’s Board of Governors, who succeeded Mr. Segerstrom as Chairman. “He founded the premier private club that so many of us have enjoyed all these years, and now this “reinvention” of the Club is extremely exciting,” Collins continued.

Since its formation 8 years ago, ClubCorp’s Charity Classic has raised in excess of $ 7 million.

This event will benefit THE OR-ANGE COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART, MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY ASSOCIATION ALS DIVISION, AU-GIE’S QUEST, AND CLUBCORP’S EMPLOYEE PARTNERS CARE FOUNDATION (E.P.C.F.). These organizations perform outstanding work and provide much-needed services and support within our local community.

“This event affords us a great op-portunity to open the Club to our Or-ange County community,” said Gen-eral Manager of Center Club, Shahin Vosough. “We will be showcasing the “Reinvented” next generation Center Club with the new look. We

have rebranded a n d r e p o s i -tioned ourselves for the up and coming genera-tion of business professionals and prominent leaders in our community, who desire a Club of this caliber. The Club’s annual Charity Classic event strongly conf i rms our commitment to Building Rela-tionships and Enriching lives,” Vosough contin-ued.

Gues ts a t -tending the January 31st event will enjoy outstanding food, drinks, and entertainment as they discover the all new Center Club.

Located adjacent to the Seger-strom Center for the Arts, Center Club is Orange County’s premier private business and social club. Pro-viding an excellent environment for entertaining, hosting private events and business meetings, Center Club offers an array of Member program-ming throughout the year. Center Club’s rich 26 year history of excel-lence includes unparalleled cuisine, gracious service, and exquisite sur-roundings.

the Lives of its members. ClubCorp owns or operates a network of more than 150 golf and country clubs, busi-ness clubs, sports clubs, and alumni clubs in 25 states, the District of Columbia, and two foreign countries that serve over 350,000 members, with more than 14,000 peak-season employees.

As we change our clocks backward this weekend, now is the time to check your smoke alarms and change the batteries. According to the Orange County Fire Authority, this is the best time to check your smoke alarm and change their batteries! Nationally, approximately 75% of failed smoke alarms are due to missing batteries.

“A recent fire in Santa Ana resulted in the death of a woman and serious injury to her husband” said OCFA Fire Marshal Laura Blaul. “There were no smoke alarms in their home, which is typical in almost every home fire resulting in serious injury or death. A smoke alarm is essential in providing you the extra time you need to safely get out of your home. Make sure you have one in every sleeping area; Make sure your family is safe”.

We are asking the community to join the OCFA in efforts to reduce risks, the OCFA has developed a pro-gram called “Install, Inspect, Protect.” Key components include:

Install: Install a smoke alarm on every

level of your home, inside each sleep-ing area, and in every hallway lead-

ing to sleeping areas.

Replace the entire unit every 10 years

Inspect: Test your

hard-wired and battery operated smoke alarms every month

Change the batteries twice a year, when changing your clocks for both battery operated and hard wired smoke alarms.

Clean your smoke alarms every year.

Protect: Plan a home escape plan and en-

sure that everyone in the household knows the sound the alarm makes and what to do if they hear it.

Identify two ways out of each room and designate a meeting place

outside the home to account for family members in the event of an emergency.

Practice your home fire drills every six months and remember to crawl lo under the smoke & go.

Call 911 immediately and ensure that everyone knows your Home

Escape Plan.This weekend change your clocks

and change your smoke alarm batter-ies too. You could be saving the lives of yourself and others.

For more valuable information, please visit “Install, Inspect Protect” at www.ocfa.org and on Facebook.

Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Discusses How Soon Should

my Child be Visiting the DentistMany parents ask me “How soon should my child be vis-iting the dentist?” I disagree with the American Dental Association opinion that infants should be seen be a dentist by the time they’re a year old. I called the ADA, and then

two pedodontists (dentists who specialize in treating children) for elaboration. Over my thirty-five years of practicing dentistry, I have felt that, except in very extreme cases, the earliest a child needs to be seen by a dentist is in the third year. After my recent conversations, my opinion hasn’t changed. The specialists and the ADA all agree that the reason to bring the child in earlier is to make sure that the parents know how to take care of their children’s teeth. Here’s what I like to tell parents:Parents should examine their children’s mouths routinely. Once teeth are in, visually checking the mouth is important; and if something looks out of the ordinary, then the child should be seen by a professional. With regard to what a child puts in his or her mouth, sugars (simple carbohydrates) should always be avoided. Apple juice, in par-ticular, is very sugary and acidic; when a child is allowed to drink it from a baby-bottle, irrespective of how enjoyable it may be to the child, it is very bad for the teeth. If a child is thirsty, give your child cool, fresh water. Complex carbohydrates, like fruits or veg-etables, probably don’t break down enough in the mouth to cause cavities, so they’re OK. Babies should never go to sleep with a bottle of milk or formula, either, and for the same reasons. And, soft drinks should NEVER, EVER, cross a child’s lips.Teaching your child the importance of brushing, of course, is something a child should be taught early. Having said that, a child will clean the teeth probably better by eating a carrot, or a stick of celery, or an apple, as by brushing. That’s because they have neither the concept nor the coordination to brush effectively.Unless there’s something out of the ordinary going on such as an accident or a parent has a question, I like to see kids when they’re about three years old. Children do better in the chair on their first visit when they’ve been to my office before with mom or even an older sibling. So, bring your little-one with you when you come in to your get your teeth cleaned. 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.

By Mary ThatcherWinter - and especially holiday - jewelry is often seen as being sparkly

without much creative design. Pave diamonds and cubic zirconias in neck-laces, bracelets, and earrings will dress up the little black cocktail dress, to be sure. But what about really unique jewelry shapes and materials for use with formal and semi-formal wear? That is where art deco comes in. Made popular during the 1920’s and 1930’s, art deco combines many elements of design to create distinct pieces that are highly sought after by collectors. Emulating this style, jewelry designers have created collections for this winter season that are sure to be popular once again in the 21st century. Here are the top Art Deco pieces in jewelry to add to your armoire this winter season:

ART DECO: A POPuLAR JEwELRY TREND FOR wINTER 2012

This striking bracelet from Alexis Bittar is appropriately named Teatro Moderne Medium Chandelier Bracelet for its elegance and clean style. Bittar draws his inspiration from Erte, which is obvious in the chandelier design itself. The bracelet measures 1” and contains perfectly cut hematite, moonstone, smoky quartz, and pyrite stones in the embellishment. You will feel like you are wearing a chandelier on your wrist during the holiday season. Available from Aleis Bittar for $375.00.

The Art Deco theme continues with these beautiful Deco Noir Chandelier earrings. The large cubic zirconia facted rectangles can pass for ceiling lightbulbs when worn on the ballroom floor. Only a sliver of light reflected off of these earrings may very well brighten up a whole room. Measuring 3 1/4” long with a base metal of brass with gold plating, these earrings will look great on any woman this winter season. Available from Henri Bendel for $158.00.

For a pair of earrings that are more subtle, try the enamel and kechi pearl earrings by Ten Thousand Things. Set in 10 karat gold with white enamel and a kechi pearl. Maybe it is the imperfect shapes of these unique pearls that make the earrings so beautiful and eye catching. Different from regular pearls, these non-nucleated pearls are perfect for jewelry that demands a unique design. These earrings measure 26 mm long in size. Wear these with a stunning gold or silver cocktail party dress this winter. Available from Barney’s for $395.00.

For the hands, try on this stunning Majorica Art Deco round pearl ring with its double pearls and silver pyramids as a contrast in shape. This is a ring that will go with any other Art Deco piece you buy for your winter wardrobe, as pearls are a highly versatile gemstone. The top of this ring measures 1” in size. Talk about a conversational piece for cocktail parties! Your friends will wish they had a ring like this one. Available from Bloomingdales for $185.00.

A necklace can complete many a winter dress or suit - this Deco Noir one is substantial enough to be a major accessory this year. Made of leather with gold plated brass, this really brings the vintage character. Available from Henri Bendel for $168.00.

By Sarah E. JohnsonJewelry, whether real gold and

silver or faux, should be carefully maintained in order to get the most out of it. Rings adorn most girls’ fin-gers and ears on a daily basis, and if we’re not cleaning them daily, then we are failing to protect our (sometimes) valuable investment.

1. Never apply lotion, wash your hands, or wash your hair with rings on. The detergents and chemicals in these products will collect on your metals causing them to look dim, and sometimes they even cause a permanent change in color reports Olivia Palermo on her blog.

2. When cleaning jewelry, never use products containing alcohols, ammonia, and vinegar cautions Mi-chellesVintageJewelry.com. These products will change the color of your metal just like the detergents mentioned above will.

3. HowToCleanStuff.net says that a great way to keep your jewelry always looking its best, is to wipe it down with a non-lint-producing cloth after taking it off. If you do a quick dry pol-ish every time you wash your hands,

your pieces will always be shiny and in optimal viewing condition.

4. Treat all jewelry with care, and make sure to check all fastenings be-fore cleaning them to prevent losing stones and gems suggests BlitzInc.com.

5. Some useful tools for cleaning delicate pieces include:

-Baby toothbrushes (the bristles are soft and you don’t have to worry about them marking your metals or stones.

-Wooden toothpicks (for crevices)-Cotton swabs (for delicate applica-

tion of cleaner and water.-Towels (never let water dry on

your jewelry)

6. If you’re uncertain or insecure about cleaning your favorite pieces, lushaejewelry.com suggests, taking them to a professional. Your jewelry can be cleaned while you shop at the mall in most locales.

Wearing clean, shiny jewelry isn’t just hygienic; it’s good fashion also good fashion sense. There’s really no excuse for wearing dingy pieces because jewelry is so easy to clean.

LITERACY PROJECT FOuNDATION’S 3RD ANNuAL LuNCHEON PROFILES 5 STuDENT

SuPER STARS

The impressive $30 million car collection displayed at the Marconi Automo-tive Museum was the perfect setting for the Literacy Project Foundation (LPF) to discuss future dreams and a vision of success for young at-risk kids. The third annual benefit luncheon “What Dreams Are Made Of” was highly successful in making new friends with around 200 guests while raising some $30,000 to provide a “no cost” reading program to classrooms and after-school programs in Orange County school districts.

The objective of the “What Dreams Are Made Of” event was to bring together passionate supporters who care to give students with lesser means the gift of literacy. The event also raised awareness for LPF’s mis-sion to implement their literacy programs into classrooms, after-school environments, and nonprofit organizations that serve underprivileged children facing challenges of illiteracy and improve their reading skills level.

The event program began with the pledge of allegiance given by student Kayla Lopez, a graduate at Palm Lane Elementary School from LPF’s reading program. LPF Chairman Doug Freeman introduced Mark Victor Hansen, keynote speaker and author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Hansen, whose own parents were illiterate, delivered a touching and passionate speech about his personal journey through the world of literacy and the risks society faces when great minds are left behind.

Another major highlight of the afternoon was the presentations by five students who recently completed LPF’s program. These kids were accompanied by their Role Models; adults who represented the career they dream to have in their future. Equipped with “Dream Cards” and illustrations of their perfect job, students bravely took center stage to dazzle the crowd with their confidence and aspiring dreams. Role Models helped with the kid’s speeches by first telling their own stories of how they selected their careers and became accomplished.

Dr. Lee Hausner, Educational Psychologist and LPF Board Member, represented a child psychologist for Kellie B.; Jeannie Lawrence, Pro-prietor, and Michelle Clemente, Veterinarian at Rancho Las Lomas, represented a veterinarian for Starr; Kareen Espino, 4th year UCI medical student, represented a doctor for Kayla; Six Time All Star, Four Time Gold Glove Winner Angels and Orioles Baseball Hall of Famer Bobby Grich represented a baseball player for Ramiro; and Mark Victor Hansen represented an author for Sheyla. The children’s emotions and excitement to be a part of this special day filled the room leaving no doubt of the purpose of event.

By: Torrey JoanisIn May, Roxanne and Sierra Ellison finished their illustrious scholar-athletic

careers at San Diego State. As Aztecs, they were three-time All-Conference Tennis Doubles honorees, shattered the SDSU all-time doubles records and captured numerous ITA Tournament Titles beating top teams from USC, UCLA, Pepperdine, Arizona State and others. Along the way, the Sisters received numerous awards for their outstanding athletic, academic and leadership accomplishments including: SDSU Schools of Theatre, Film, & Television’s “Outstanding Graduate” (Roxanne), Finalist in TableReadMyScreenplay at the Sundance Film Festival (Sierra), SDSU Mortar Board and Lavin Entrepreneur Program (Roxanne), The University’s prestigious Dietz Award (Roxanne and Sierra), and the Southwest Region’s ITA/Cissie Leary Award for Sportsman-ship (Sierra).

Since graduating, The Ellison Sisters have turned Pro and made a “Grand Entrance” on the Women’s Professional Tennis Tour. The Duo made it to the finals and semifinals of their first two Pro-Circuit doubles events as profes-sionals (the PJ’s Coffee International Tennis Classic in New Orleans, LA and the Pro Tennis Classic in Fort Worth, TX) and thrilled fans as they almost upset the number one seed in their WTA debut as wildcards at the WTA 220K Texas Tennis Open in Dallas, Texas. When asked about their amazing journey into the professional tennis world, Sierra said, “It has been a whirlwind and a wakeup call. It’s lots of fun, but it’s also a lot of work. It’s up to us to make it happen.” As they have traveled from city to city, Roxanne has noticed the level of pace. “The professional road moves significantly faster than anything we have experienced before. We have realized the importance of staying in the moment and have learned that we can only focus on ourselves. It is our goal to improve every day. In building this confidence, we trust that we will be able to accomplish all of our dreams.”

Off court, Roxanne and Sierra recently shot with Newport Beach’s famed sports and fashion photographer, Michael Voorhees in a creative shoot that featured Joe’s Jeans apparel and Asic’s upcoming Spring Line. Roxanne is now taking the lead on an Ellison Sisters’ spec project covering the latest athletic apparel lines. When asked about the vision for the project, Roxanne stated, “Sierra and I will be using our film and television backgrounds to create videos where we will be critiquing and promoting different brands.” Meanwhile, Sierra has been focusing on her screenplay which is currently being considered by one of the top producers in Hollywood. When asked how it feels to reach such an accomplishment, Sierra stated, “It’s very exciting. This is a huge passion of mine and it’s so fabulous to see it moving forward.”

During their designated off-season (October-December), Roxanne and Sierra are back home in Southern California training and working hard to improve their games while also giving attention to a couple of their off-court pursuits and seeking sponsorships, endorsements, and/or beneficiaries that can provide the funding they will need to cover next year’s Pro Tennis Tour travel expenses.

Only time will tell how high the Ellison’s Sisters star will rise. However, one thing is for sure, Roxanne and Sierra appear to be ready, willing, and capable of stepping into the role of America’s Next Top Tennis Sisters with a grace and style that is all their own. Fans and interested parties can Like The Ellison Sisters Facebook Page or follow them on Twitter @SierraEllison or on their website at www.TheEllisonSisters.com.

By Carol RuckerDoes your handcrafted jewelry

shout out, “Wow! Look at me, I’m fabulous!”? If it doesn’t, you can change that by changing the way you do things: Stop borrowing designs dreamed up by someone else. Make your own bold clasps, earwires and beads instead of relying on manufac-tured findings. Try a few simplified metalsmithing techniques.

Metalsmithing can be compli-cated, but it’s the best way I know of adding a “wow” factor to your jewelry. I’ve made it a little easier by simplifying a few metalsmithing techniques, so you can master them easily. The tools, cost and time you need depend on the projects you choose.

SuggESTEd ToolS

Jeweler’s saw and bench pin Blades: brands labeled “gold”

cost more, but they’re easier to work with.

Metal files Padded emery files for smooth-

ing Manual punch or drill Metal shears (optional) Hammer Anvil or metal bench block Fine line black marker

Materials

Sheet metal of your choice 20 gauge wire

Working with your jeweler’s sawIf you already have a jeweler’s

saw, pull it out and practice. You’ll break a ton of blades at first, but eventually you’ll be inspired to cre-ate jewelry that’s truly unique. Draw your designs directly onto metal, either freehand or with a template; then cut them out with your saw. Use files to smooth rough metal edges. See “Metalwork Basics: Cutting With a Jeweler’s Saw” for tips.

If you’d prefer not to saw, try metal shears. They cut metal the way scis-sors cut paper, but are best for cut-ting simple shapes only. A die cutter is a more expensive cutting option. It’s a metal block that uses a punch. You add manual pressure to create a simple, uniform shape: circles, ovals, hearts. If cutting metal isn’t your thing, search online for “blank metal shapes for jewelry making.”

METal STaMping for addEd TExTurES

With stamping, it takes very little effort to enhance metal with decora-tive patterns. See “Metal Stamping - Create Personalized Jewelry” for tips and techniques.

adding curvES

Add a gentle curve to a large metal piece, by using a ball peen hammer and an anvil or block. Hold your piece at an angle, turn slowly and gently strike the edges all the way around. To curve small pieces, you’ll need a dapping block. Michael’s sells an inexpensive wooden version for under $20.

-Select one of the six curved sec-tions on the block.

-Use a punch to hold your metal piece in place.

-Strike it with a hammer. One good blow should do it.

adding bEadS and wirE dETailS To SiMplE ShapES

For metal earrings that are full and dangly, add holes to your metal pieces with a drill or a manual punch. Add earwires and figure 8s or jump rings to dangle wire shapes and beads. See “Create Wire Details to Enhance Your Favorite Craft Proj-ects “ for tips on making wire shapes.

cuTTing ouT a fanTaSy

If you’re already comfortable working with a jeweler ’s saw, take your skills to a higher level.

-Draw your fantasy design on metal with a fine line marker.

-Drill or use a manual punch to pierce holes in the sections to be cut away.

- insert your blade into your saw, then through a hole.

-Fasten the other blade end into place, tighten, and then saw.

-Leave enough metal in place to hold your piece together.

S o l d E r i n g l ay E r S o f METal

A basic plumber’s torch is all you need to generate a f lame that ’s hot and big enough for most jewelry soldering opera-t i ons . Once you l ea rn bas i c blowtorch safety, try the simple technique of fusing several layers of metal in a single soldering op-eration. Fuse silver onto silver or layer it with copper, gold-filled or brass sheet or wire for fabulous “wow” pieces.

-Silver-bearing solder from a hardware store is fine for simple soldering techniques.

-It flows at low temperatures when you hammer it flat and clip it into small pieces.

-Use a small paint brush to add flux to the front and back of metal pieces you wish to fuse together.

-Use your brush tip to place a pattern of solder chips on the back of each layer.

-Layer, then solder.-See “Working With Your Blow-

torch: Ten Safety Tips Jewelry Designers Need to Know “ for more information.

add a bEzEl-SET STonE ThE SiMplE way

When you’re striving to be a jewelry making superstar, i t ’s okay to cheat a little. Instead of bezel-sett ing small stones the hard way, try using bezel cups: calibrated silver metal ovals and circle cups that are form fitted to hold calibrated semi-precious cabochons.

-Add flux and solder to the back of the cup.

-Solder into place on a metal piece or...

-Make it the final addition on a layered, fused piece.

a fEw MorE TipS

-Don’t get frustrated by try-ing too many new techniques at once.

-Metalsmithing tools are ex-pensive. Buy only what you really need.

Emphasis on quality teaching and learning drove another year of aca-demic growth in the Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD), allowing it to remain a leader in student achieve-ment and the state’s top performing large school district, according to scores released today by the California Department of Education (CDE).

The District’s API rose to 879, 5 points higher than its 2011 base score. Of the District’s 54 traditional schools, 50 scored above the state goal of 800, while 26 exceeded 900, which is considered the mark of an elite school. Statewide, 53 percent of schools met or surpassed the state target of 800.

Scores for the District and individual schools can be found at: http://ow.ly/epkpL.

“These scores again validate the decision to prioritize classroom in-struction,” Board President Dr. Gary Pritchard said. “I want to thank our teachers and staff members for their hard work in helping our students succeed. While we are proud of these scores, we will improve on this success so that our children remain among the most well-prepared to compete in the

global economy of the 21st century.”The District again outpaced all of the

state’s large school districts, those with more than 35,000 students. CUSD, with more than 51,000 students, is the 10th largest district in the state. Larger districts historically have lower API scores than smaller districts.

“Our emphasis on instructional delivery and design has been proven effective by these scores,” Superinten-dent Joe Farley said. “But this success has more to do with the dedication of our staff and the commitment of our families and students than anything else. This level of achievement is to be expected when you have the com-mitment to academic success shown by our stakeholders.”

A large portion of the District’s gains were made at the secondary level, where all of the District’s traditional schools scored above 800, and nine of the 12 middle schools scored above 900. Sixteen of the District’s 18 tra-ditional secondary schools increased their API.

At the middle school level, three schools became members of the 900 club—Bernice Ayer (912), Newhart

(912), and Niguel Hills (900). Ladera Ranch Middle School earned the highest score in the District with a 950, a 15-point increase over last year. Arroyo Vista K-8 School earned a 940, the highest score for elementary schools. Tesoro was the highest scoring high school with an 893, a 10-point jump from 2011.

Junipero Serra High School had the largest increase with a 68-point gain. At the middle school level, Arroyo Vista Middle School saw its score increase by 23 points, from 901 to 924. San Juan Elementary School experienced a 33-point increase, moving its score from 780 to 813, surpassing the state goal of 800.

The API is a single number, ranging from a low of 200 to a high of 1000, which reflects performance level, based on the results of statewide

testing. Its purpose is to measure the academic performance and growth of schools. The API was established in 1999 by legislation that created a new academic accountability system for K-12 public education in California. The API is calculated by converting a student’s performance on statewide assessments across multiple content areas into points on the API scale. These points are then averaged across all students and all tests. The result is the API.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 11 CHADRON CIRCLE, LADERA RANCH, CA, 92694. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.The total amount of the unpaid bal-ance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $606,792.35. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state.Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Plac-ing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case 11-0093088. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Story and Photos By: Steve WylieThe Eagles of Santa Margarita Catholic High School had a lot to smile

about last Friday night. They defeated JSerra by a score of 42-0 before a Homecoming crowd, notching their fourth shutout of the year. Most impor-tantly, they clinched a playoff spot in the Pac-5 Division, and will play for a possible share of the Trinity League Championship tonight against league-leader St. John Bosco.

The Eagles scored on their opening drive, as standout running back Ryan Wolpin stormed into action, scoring on a one-yard leap over the pile at the goal line. He would go on to score two more rushing touchdowns, gaining 93 yards on 18 carries. Wolpin’s rushing total to date now stands at 919 yards, and he’ll be looking to crack the 1000 yard mark tonight against St. John Bosco. Duncan Hume contributed another rushing touchdown. Altogether, the Eagles racked up 253 rushing yards, compared to just 31 for JSerra.

Santa Margarita quarterback Kyle Sweet smoothly completed twelve of his eighteen passes for 130 yards with no interceptions. He also ran the ball into the end zone for the Eagles‘ fourth touchdown from ten yards out. Josh Canty came in late in the fourth quarter, expertly completing one pass and also rushing for Santa Margarita’s final touchdown. With six receptions, River Cracraft moved to the number two spot on Santa Margarita’s all-time receptions list with a total of 118 career catches.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Eagles simply did not allow JSerra to mount an effective offensive drive. The Lions’ most significant threat began on a fourth down stop of the Eagles on their own 29 yard line in the second quarter; that opportunity was negated two plays later by a Gian Carlo Spinosi interception. Connor O’Brien also added an interception with a 48-yard return, and with that play O’Brien reclaimed the career interception return yardage record from River Cracraft. The Eagles limited JSerra to just 120 yards of total offense and sacked Lion quarterback Nick Robinson twice.

The victory brings Santa Margarita’s Trinity League record to 3-1, and guar-antees the Eagles a Pac-5 playoff berth regardless of the outcome tonight. An Eagle win over Bosco, combined with a Mater Dei loss against Servite, would give the Eagles the first seed going into the playoffs.

Three “Baby Eagles” got a chance to stretch their wings during Friday night’s game versus JSerra.

The game was not the only celebration happening on the field. Prior to the opening kickoff, the fans recognized nineteen Eagle seniors on the football team, as well as members of the Pep Squad and team managers who will graduate this year. The halftime ceremony included members of the Pep Squad, the Eagle Regiment, the Dance Team, and a group of seniors dressed as zombies, all culminating in the coronation of Paige Krieger as Homecom-ing Queen. Other members of the Court included Sophomore Princess Kate Stanton, Junior Princess Hannah Mazolewski, and Senior Princesses Morgan O’Brien and Alexandra Rupp.

Kickoff for tonight’s final Trinity League battle is 7:00 p.m at St. John Bosco High School, 13640 S. Bellflower Blvd. in Bellflower.
