GIvE THE GIfT Of A HOMEMADE GIfT BASKET TO yOUR MOM!Homemade Mother’s Day Gour-

met Baskets are a perfect gift to give your Mother. Not only can you tailor your gift basket to your mother’s taste, but you can also pamper your Mom at the same time.

Match her hobbies and passions to each basket. Make sure to add a special touch by finishing off your Mother’s Day Gift Basket by adding a bow or cellophane wrap.

Mother’s Day Gourmet Bas-kets: Gourmet Apple Baskets

Who doesn’t love a basket full of gourmet apples given to their mother? Give the gift of fresh produce inside a beautiful basket that is perfect for any coffee table or the centerpiece for a kitchen table. At Fruit Gift Baskets Online, you will receive the best apples out of the crop.

When ordering the apples it is important to know how you are going to give this gift basket. You could send the apples in the given basket, or to send the apples to yourself, then place the apples inside a decorative basket of your choosing. The choice is your own, depending on location of recipi-ent. I prefer to decorate myself, but the option is yours.

What You Need:

12 Gourmet or Organic ApplesOne round or square BasketOne Bow

Directions:Check your local market to see

how fresh the apples are. De-

pending on the season, it may be more beneficial to order apples online versus the local market. The key is getting the freshest apples. Once you have these, you will also need a earthy basket to fill the gourmet apples. Now, for your basket: check Big Lots or Michaels for a beautiful Mother’s Day Gift Basket that is empty and ready for you to fill. To decorate, simply fill the apples into the bas-

ket. Add a card and slip between the apples. Finish by adding a bow to basket. This gift is simple, yet elegant, making a perfect Mother’s Day Basket.

Mother’s Day Gourmet Bas-kets: Beauty Gift Baskets

Give a beauty gift basket to any mom who needs a little pampering in her life. Not only will she love the spa gift basket, but she will appreciate the thought behind the

Mother’s Day Gift.

What You Need:

One Round or decorative Bas-ket

One LoofahOne bottle of LotionOne bottle of Silk LotionOne Bottle of Hand CreamOne small candleOne tube of hand therapy creamOne Hallmark Card

Directions:This Mother ’s Day Gift is all

about pampering your Mom. They

key is to know what her favorite scent is, and then buying accord-ingly. Jasmine, lavender, or vanilla is perfect stand by scents if you need a scent to use. Now, that you are ready to assemble the beauty gift basket, take your basket and add each spa treatment into the basket. This is not only easy, but

quick to assemble. Now that your basket is complete, now add the candle to your empty basket, now add bow to basket. Finish off the basket by sl ipped your signed Hallmark card into the completed gift basket.

Mother’s Day Gift Basket: Choc-olates

What mom doesn’t love a little chocolate on Mother’s Day? Give her the gift of sweets that she probably won’t buy herself. Does your loves Hershey’s Choco-late, Godiva Chocolate, Truffles,

or Chocolate Cara-mels? This choco-la te g i f t basket i t only easy but a fun way t o ce l eb ra te your Mom.

What you need:

One Large Bas-ket Chocolates

Directions:The key is know-

i n g w h a t c h o c o -lates your mother loves. This will make your shopping ex-perience, easy and quick. And that is

what we all want, no doubt. If you are having trouble finding the chocolates, check your local grocery stores “chocolate sec-tion” or go online at Godiva. Add chocolates to basket, then add a Hallmark card to finish off this gourmet gift basket.

MOTHER’S DAy ISN’T JUST fOR MOTHERS: A BRIEf HISTORy AND IDEAS fOR A UNIqUE MOTHER’S DAy CELEBRATION

by Bridgitte Williams On Mother’s Day, we

celebrate the wonderful moms in our life. It is a joyful holiday, full of love, gifts and laughter. Families gather to honor the mom. In some families, mom isn’t always known as mom. She may be the aunt, the sister, the relative or friend that raised you. She may be a he. Yes, I know that there is a Father’s day. Still, that does not quite show the true meaning of motherhood. So, on Mother’s day, do not be afraid to honor the mom in your life. Be creative. Be different. Be brave. Do not worry about what others may think. It would be a shame to leave the one who raised you out of this celebration.

I notice that Mother’s day cards are very unique, this year. You can find a card to suit that significant other that you consider to be your mother. It is not hard. Be daring. You will surprise and delight the person that you love most, in your life.

A cake made to honor this person works great. You can personalize it to say exactly what you wish. If you want to give a Mother’s Day party for this person, that works even better. It can be a surprise party. It can be anything you want it to be. Make this day unique. Do not be restricted by old standards. Go all out.

In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother’s day. Julia Ward Howe wrote the original Mother’s day proclamation, in 1870, as a call for peace. Her idea came from Anna Jarvis, an Appalachian homemaker, who attempted to start what was know as Mother’s work days. These days were intended to pro-mote sanitary conditions through the civil war era. This caused Mother’s Day to become well known and spread

to all states, even before it was declared a holiday. Now, many countries celebrate this wonderful holiday. It is also said that the very first Mother’s Day occurred in ancient Greece. Mother’s Day has a tradition of being unique.

Mother’s Day has a great history of being all about change, peace, support, teaching and helping others. That is the true meaning of being a mom. Even if you are not called mom, you certainly have a right to be celebrated, on this great day, for raising children as your own, even if they are not yours, biologically.

Mother’s Day should be about appreciating the one that supported us. It is a time to give back what was given. Show your love and it will be returned. Remember, all of the advice and help you got, over the years, made you the person that you are today. A mother does not have to give birth to you to be your mom. This person is special and deserves this day to celebrate with you. Your mom is your mom. Your choice. Make a difference. Make Mother’s Day a memorable day. You will be glad that you did. Have a happy Mother’s Day!

Your mother tried to teach you some valuable les-sons. Moms have a unique ability to impart essential wisdom. Unfortunately, most of us were too young to really appreciate their value. Mother’s Day is a great time to review the following advice you got when you were a kid.

You can be whatever you want to be.You have no limitations. The whole world is open to

you. Your future is ahead of you. You can accomplish whatever you set your mind to. It’s ok to dream.

Be nice to your friends and they will be nice to you.

People respond to the way you treat them. If you are mean and selfish, no one will want to play with you. Share your toys and don’t be a bully. Be considerate of the feelings of others.

Do your homework and you will get good grades.Success takes work. If you don’t put in the effort,

you won’t reap the rewards. Those who work hard will succeed.

Clean your room now.Get things done today and you won’t have to worry

about them. If you let things pile up, it will be difficult to catch up.

You can play once your chores are done.Get your work done before you take a break. Then

you can relax and have a good time.

Stay in school.If you don’t get an education, your opportunities will

be limited. Don’t drop out of school. The more you learn, the more you benefit.

Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you.

It doesn’t matter what other people say. Don’t allow others to upset you. There will always be mean people. Don’t pay attention to them.

Don’t waste your time.Time goes by very fast. Don’t wait to pursue your

dreams.

Be thankful for what you have.There are many who are not as fortunate as you.

Be grateful for your home and family. It doesn’t matter what someone else has.

Don’t complain.Whining is annoying. If you have something to say,

say it. If you complain all the time, no one will want to listen to you.

Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Discusses Sleep problems.

While local dentist Dr. Michael Tessier is well known for his exceptionally gentle and friendly care of children, cosmetic restorations for adults, and both conventional and Invisalign orthodontics, his offi ce also focuses on his patients overall health. “I read an article the other day that said, in effect, sleep could be hazardous to your health. They were referring to sleep apnea, the cessation of breathing while sleeping. I was especially interested in this topic as my offi ce provides signifi cant relief for people who suffer from this particular discomfort,” said Dr. Tessier.“Sleep apnea can be caused by extra redundant tissue (fat) in the throat or neck which can reduce the diameter of or even cut-off the windpipe while one is in a re-laxed sleep-state. It can also be caused by the lower jaw relaxing back into the neck, allowing the base of the tongue to lie on the windpipe, like a manhole cover, cutting off the air fl ow to the lungs. This causes the body to wake up enough to take a deep breath. These wake-ups are often gasps for air, and may even include sitting bolt-upright in bed, in a panic. Either of these restrictions can happen as many as forty-fi ve times a minute (yes, a minute) preventing deep, replenishing sleep, and causing a dramatic reduction in the amount of oxygen that gets into the blood stream. This oxygen reduction negatively impacts the brain, and is damaging or stressful to the heart muscle, and may be fatal in some cases.“Just the other day, I had a conversation with a clinical psychologist about the nega-tive results of sleep deprivation, like from sleep apnea, or just plain too-few hours of sack-time. She said that the biggest issue is the replenishment of neuro–transmit-ters (chemicals in nerve connections ((synapses)) like serotonin, acetylcholine, or dopamine) that could, among other things, lead to depression. The conversation went to medicinal sleep aids, like Temazepam or Ambien. I asked if taking drugs like that would be habit forming on a long-term basis. The doctor was of the opinion that the negatives from sleep deprivation were worse than the negatives from long-term use of drugs.“An easier solution than drugs is often to use one of our sleep apnea appliances, which are simple, unobtrusive in-the-mouth appliances that keep the jaw forward and the base of the tongue off the windpipe (trachea). In more severe cases, use of a CPAP device, a positive-pressure air pump that keeps the windpipe open, might be indicated,” said Dr. Tessier.So, if you or the person sleeping next to you or your next-door neighbor is snoring loudly or waking-up gasping for air, a call to Dr. Tessier’s Offi ce for a complimentary consultation appointment may be in order. Dr. Michael Tessier’s offi ce is located at 28562 Oso Parkway at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways in the retail center near the carwash and Starbucks. The telephone number is 949-459-7212.

Saddleback College competed at the Phi Rho Pi National Tournament from April 15th to April 21st at the Marriot, Los Angeles, California. The students earned a Silver Medal by placing 5th overall and 3rd in individ-ual event sweepstakes. The students competing in Readers Theatres titled “Mouth of the Lion” directed by Larry Radden and “Bellicose” directed by Lucas Ochoa automatically advanced to finals. This particular tournament has not automatically advanced two shows from the same team since 1994. Our student Olivia Noceda earned 3rd Place Speaker of the Tournament, which she earned by advancing every speech she per-formed at the Phi Rho Pi Tournament to finals. Our Readers Theatre “Mouth of the Lion” also selected by the students to win the Huffer-Goldman award, which recognizes the theatre that represents collegial behavior. This is Saddleback’s fourth Huffer-Goldman win since 2006.

“This was a very special year for the Saddleback Speech Team,” Co-director, Larry Radden claimed, “Once in a blue moon, does an experi-ence such as 2012-2013 happen to someone whose been connected to this activity for over 20 years. I’m of-ficially calling the 2012-2013 Speech Season the year of the blue moon. Not only was this the most talented group of students I had the honor of working with, they’re all so precious, sincere, passionate and lovely human beings.” Co-director, Heidi Ochoa, disclosed “When you work with students who are team players, you don’t mind working every day; and we did. The heart and synergy of this team propelled us in directions that we have never reached before. It is rare to watch an entire team fighting themselves--looking their weak-nesses in the eyes---with the intent to improve who they are as speakers and who they are as people.” Coach Steve Robertson stated “This year was a tremendous year, and Nation-als was no exception. I was proud of the hard work that the students put into this activity this year, and I think it paid off in our performance. Listening to the students talk about the experi-ence, I know that they found it richly rewarding, which is really why we do this activity. I can only hope that the squads in the coming years will be as dedicated as this one.”

This year, Saddleback’s teams’ ef-forts boosted its reputation. Coaches from across the nation approached coaches Lucas Ochoa and Larry Radden requesting advice about Readers Theatre. The shows created

the kind of “buzz” that intimidated competitors and attracted large audi-ences. Coach, Lucas Ochoa states, “I’m incredibly proud of this year. Our Readers Theatres made history at State Champs and Nationals. It was neat to hear coaches from around the country talking about our shows.” Heidi Ochoa notes, “My colleagues and students impressed the nation with artistic advocacy. Our audiences laughed and cried last week. Our stu-dents received standing ovations. As demonstrated in compliments given by participants of the tournament, Saddleback coaches and students together create quality speeches. We owe our successes to our President Tod Burnett, Dean Bart McHenry, Associated Student Government and our chief organizers Joyce Speakman and Jackie Zimbalist.”

The coaching staff unilaterally agrees that this year was the most emotionally rewarding year of their careers both as student competitors and coaches. The students who are now transferring to colleges will be missed. They will be attending: San Bernardino, UCLA, Humboldt, and Berkeley. The legacy they are leaving behind has changed the culture and trajectory of the Saddleback Forensic Team forever.

Dr. Tod Burnett, president of Sad-dleback College, stated, “Congratula-tions to our hardworking and talented students for their success at nation-als. Each year I am thoroughly im-pressed by the caliber of our forensics team and know that the guidance they get from our wonderful coaches will only lead them to great things here at Saddleback and beyond.”

Bart McHenry, Dean of Fine Arts and Media Technology, stated, “I am so pleased with the outstanding

results our speech and debate team had at Phi Rho Pi. This end-of-the-year accomplishment makes me enthusiastic to see what they can accomplish next year. I am sure that next year will be the team to beat at Nationals.”

This year, IVC’s coaching staff, Edwin Tiongson, Gary Rybold, Liza Rios, Jennifer Page, Kevin Calde-rwood, John Lewellen, Matt Volz, Katrina Taylor, Bill Neesen and Jules Throckmorton-French grew their team into the large-school division and earned a Gold Medal by plac-ing 2nd overall! Saddleback looks forward to the moment when it is just IVC and Saddleback standing at an award ceremony—winning as a district together.

The Saddleback Forensics Team started in the 1970s and prides itself on offering students the ability to cre-ate innovative arguments for future writing and speaking engagements to strengthen their critical thinking skills and to better communicate with oth-ers. On the forensics team, students write, rehearse, and perform at 6-7 tournaments against students from Universities and Community Colleges to qualify for the national tournament. The students representing Saddle-back at the national tournament have placed above several competitors representing institutions throughout the year, including: Concordia Uni-versity, Point Loma, California State University, Los Angeles, California State University, Long Beach, and UCLA.

Are you short on cash this Mother’s Day, and desperately searching for a free gift you can surprise your Mom with on her big day? Well, you are in luck because Moms are sentimental creatures. How many times did your Mom set aside the diamonds or roses your father brought home and marvel over the macaroni necklace and card you brought home from school? Here are a few ideas to get you started on your free Mother’s Day gifts. You can surprise your Mom with a few of these gifts, or go all out and give them all to her this year, without spending a dime!

CouponsGive your Mom coupons this year on

Mother’s Day. No, don’t sit down and cut out all the coupons from the Sunday paper. Get out the doilies, construction paper, and crayons, and make up some super cute coupons for your Mom to cash in whenever she pleases. Some examples could be: “One Free Back Rub,” “A Walk In The Park With Yours Truly,” or “Good For One Free Clean House.” Try to make the coupons per-sonal, or for something you know she really loves to do. For example, if your Mom is an avid hiker you could make a coupon to take a hike with her at her favorite location.

Photo CollageGet out the craft supplies and put

together an elaborate photo collage for your Mom on Mother’s Day. The more frill and photos you add, the more effort it will appear you put into it. Google a few sweet poems and quotes about Moms, and include those on the collage. Some appropri-ate song lyrics could also be added. While you got the craft supplies out, throw together an elaborate Mother’s Day card. If you make it personal with photos of you two together it will out-do any store bought card she receives year.

Breakfast in BedBreakfast in bed never grows old,

and has withstood the test of time as a monumental gesture. And, the best part about it is breakfast is the cheapest meal to prepare! Sneak into your Mom’s kitchen while she is still asleep on Mother’s Day, and whip up every breakfast food she has in the kitchen. Then, surprise her with a smorgasbord of breakfast foods before she gets out of bed. While she is eating her breakfast buffet, present her with your card and coupons.

FlowersFlowers have become a traditional

Mother’s Day gift. Unfortunately, stores and floral shops have caught on to this, and bouquets are pretty expensive dur-ing the month of May. Luckily, Mother’s Day always falls in the Spring, so you have another option. Pick your Mom a bouquet of wild-flowers from your local park or playground, or alongside the road if you live in a rural area. If you are desperate you can always borrow a few flowers from your neighbors’ garden, but don’t forget to ask their permission.

Give The Gift That Keeps On GivingIf your Mom is a movie fan, you could

surprise her with an instant Netflix or Redbox membership on Mother’s Day. Inside your home-made Mother’s day card, you could include the username and password for her new account. Both sites offer a membership to watch unlimited movies online for only $8.00 a month. The first month is free on both sites, so you won’t have to start forking over the $8.00 until the next month.

fREE MOTHER’S DAy GIfTS - LOvE DOESN’T HAvE TO COST MONEy

For Mother’s Day, celebrate the nurturing nature of mom with a specially painted flower pot that holds her favorite herbs or flowers.

The Chalkboard Herb Pot and Mommy’s Favorite Flower Pot projects from Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores don’t require any special skills, so anyone can make a customized gift for mom, grandma, or any other special mom in their life.

Tips for Using Chalkboard PaintChalkboard paint comes in classic black, but also

comes in other colors as well.Make sure it’s completely dry before trying to

write on it.Some chalkboard paints require you to condition

the paint with chalk before using it. Read label instructions carefully.

Tips for Decorating Using spray paint and hot glue guns may require

adult supervision.Give the kids creative control – it may not turn

out perfectly neat, but it will be perfect for mom.Not sure what to paint on the flower pot? Let the

kids dip a hand or foot into the paint and put prints onto the pot. Or, cut fun shapes out of sponges or potatoes and let them stamp around the pot.

by Mary LangenbackEvery one of us has had or has a

mother or step mother, at some point in our lives. Mothers day has been celebrated since the early 1900’s. Although my own mother has passed away and I have no children of my own, I still remember her wonderful influence on my life.

In celebration of mother’s day I wanted to learn about the history of mother’s day and was surprised to find out that it was originally a wom-an’s reaction to war. Julia Ward Howe, herself influenced by a one Anna Jar-vis who sought to improve sanitation through “Mother’s Work days” in the mid 1850’s. So originally Mother’s day was a day for Mothers to work to im-prove the lives of those around them. Julia Ward Howe, who lived through the Civil War, saw it as the only way to attempt to stop men from warring with each other. Call it what you will, but her idea was a day of peace. In 1870 she gave a proclamation (Read in full at: http://womenshistory.about.com/od/howejwriting/a/mothers_day.htm) for women to take counsel together after mourning their dead and to make an attempt to influence those around them, especially their

family members, to do all they can to stop war and live at peace with their brothers and sisters around the globe. It was to be remembered that war has many other side effects than just the funerals during and afterward. There was an emotional effect upon women all over the world, crying for their dead, some who had depended upon those men for support, in societ-ies that do not allow women to work. Some of these women with no men to depend on must get married to men they don’t like, or go into prostitution for survival. The effect also was (and is) economic, men in the 1800’s were the primary bread winners even here in America.

Mothers day was first celebrated in a small church, the church in Virginia where Anna Jarvis’ daughter attend-ed. Soon this holiday spread to most of the other 48 continental states. By 1920 it had been celebrated as a national holiday. Slowly, but surely we have stripped it of its original meaning, and have continued to war against ourselves (even our own family members and neighbors) and those of other countries. Even now we are at war in several places in the middle east. Our sons, and husbands,

and fathers and lovers have gone off to war and this month we are going to sit at home with those who have stayed behind and celebrate the fact that we, or our relatives and friends, are mothers. Some husbands and families will cry (inside at least), because now there are some mothers at war.

We have come a long, long way and it is so very, very sad to say where we have ended up. We celebrate, adore, worship, and congratulate the mothers, the first time mothers, the oldest mother’s, the youngest mothers and the mothers with the most children. This is not how Mother’s day was supposed to be celebrated. As I said earlier, the original Mothers day was “celebrated” by mothers going out and caring about the health and sani-tation of their communities.

So, this Mother’s day when you are buying her gifts and taking her out to dinner, take a long, long look at her. Think of what the world would be with-out our mothers, without our mother’s love and teaching. Think about what

femininity meant to society in the past. It meant a caregiver in the family, a teacher, a spiritual leader, one who would (ideally) teach about peace and brotherhood. Then, talk together, after the younger kids have gone to bed, about how mothers, fathers and possibly what your family can do this next year to influence others to stop war. Lets get back to Julia Ward Howe’s original plea: Disarm! Disarm! or even the 1960’s motto: “Make love, not war”!

52ND ANNUAL pATRONESS TEA By THE SEA

On a breezy Thursday afternoon with sailboats in the background, the Adoption

Guild of Southern Orange County celebrated its 52nd Annual Patroness Tea by the Sea. Beneficiary for the Event is Holy Family Services Adoption & Foster Care Agency (“HFS”).

Guild President Jeanette Perry welcomed approximately 200 guests to the beautiful Lido Isle Yacht Club, which was bathed in a sea of pink and lavender for the occasion.

Proceeds from the Tea, Silent Auction, and vendors benefit potential adoptive and foster children located throughout Southern California.

While guests dined on light tea fare, Ms. Julie Brown, Executive Director of HFS, introduced new Parents Dan & Erica and their beautiful baby daughter, Liliana. Dan shared his inspirational experience with the adoption process, the initial disappoint-ment of a cancellation and joy of success in adopting Liliana. HFS was a support every step of the way, he stated. In the end, a loving family was created.

This Tea was highlighted by “Fashion Show Fun” featuring Adoption Guild Members modeling clothes by Tropez Boutique of Newport Beach. Jewelry was provided by William Harold & Sons of Newport Beach. Member Models included Kelly Knight, Lorna Pattengill, Gemma Snell, Laurie Moroch, Julie Ahlert, Julie Sherwin, and Linda Torr. The hit of the show was Guild member Katie Richardson, herself an adoptee, accompanied by her daughter and son, Boston and Austin Richardson. Entertaining the Audience with sparkling fashion commentary were Lido Isle residents Cathy & Tim O’Neil.

Silent Auction items included an array of interesting packages highlighted with a week in a Penthouse suite at the Ala Moana Hotel, Waikiki, Kate Spade purse, Hermes scarves, Jo Malone Perfume and party for 10, La Mer Facial Cream and Serum Collection, a hair makeover and products by Laurel Chirico of Platino Salon, and Myer Beef Gift Certificates.

Tea by the Sea also featured shopping with boutiques such as The Passionate Collector, Treasured Bliss offering handmade candles, Kohala, with handmade natural fabric jackets, Tropez Boutique, Love Reusable Bags, The Women’s Door, William Harold Jewelers, and Olive Oil and Beyond, with a selection of flavored oils and vinegars. All vendors donated a portion of proceeds to Adoption Guild.

The Tea Menu was created by “Cuisine by Jeanine” and featured layers of cu-cumbers and watercress finger sandwiches; rolled crepes with asparagus and fresh dill; open-faced mini-sandwiches of egg, curry chicken and ham salad, pinwheels with smoked salmon, cream cheese & capers, savory tarts with goat cheese, dates & bacon and spinach,feta & curried wild rice. Desserts were mini lemon tartlets with assorted berries, chocolate-dipped strawberries, tiny double-chocolate crinkles, and currant scones with raspberry butter.

Wine was provided by Hi-Time Wine Cellars. “Floral Creations by Enzo” designed the interesting pink and purple spring flower centerpieces.

Spotted in the audience were Prego Restaurant owner Ruth Bedi, Cathy & Tim O’Neil, HFS Chairman Janis Rosebrook, Eli Tahari Manager Lylian Nguyen, East-West Coaster Jaci Lindstrom, Carol Lincoln, Brooke Vogelsang, Kathy White, Bobbie Daniel, and Childhelp Board member Shan Womack.

Volunteer Bartenders for the Event were members’ husbands Don Nevins, Bill Wyrick, and Roger Alexander.

The Tea committee included Sue Podany, chairman, President Jeanette Perry, Linda Torr, Jeannie Mullin, Katie Richardson Fran Bingham, Suzanne Wyrick, and Gemma Snell.

Tea by The Sea is a Friendraising Fundraiser leading to the 52nd Annual Roy Emerson Adoption Guild Classic Tennis Tournament on May 25-27 and June 1-2, 2013. Tournament Registration for all levels of play began on April 1, and contin-ues until May 12. Interested Players are directed to adoptionguild.org for further Tournament information.

by Dusty ShultzTeaching Pastor, M.S. in Mar-

riage & Family Therapy Empowerment ParentingIsn’t parenting one of the most

joyful and demanding tasks you’ve ever exper ienced? Parent ing seems to be a lesson in patience and perseverance, a lesson in trusting God, and a lesson in para-dox. So what is the key ingredient of effective parenting?

Relationship.Through informed social science

research, and an understanding of God as relational, we have found that Relat ional-Empowerment Parenting can build formative and fulfilling relationships with your children. If you are a parent, or perhaps soon to be one, I welcome the opportunity to share some of this research and knowledge, and perhaps provide some tools to help make your parenting journey more enjoyable and successful during this free series of 3 seminars.

In this series we will be using biblical principles, my experiences as a teaching pastor and marriage and family therapist intern, and the book “Relationship-Empowerment Parenting” to give you practical tools for effective parenting. The seminar material will guide you through:

* how to stay calm in conflict* what to expect during the differ-

ent developmental stages of your child’s life

* why building a relationship in the early stages is so important

The seminars will be held once per month on Fridays from 7pm to 8:30pm in a casual environment at The Spoken Word Christian Church located in Rancho Santa Margarita, 30151 Avenida de Las Banderas, Suite 100.

May 10 Empowerment Parent-ing:

June 7 Empowering Young Children and Preteens: The Chal-lenge of fa i rness and picking battles.

July 26 Empowering Teens and Young Adults: The art of negotia-tion and letting go.

Scheduling of sessions will allow time for discussion and questions at each meeting. Although you will benefit from attending the full series (especially including the first, serving as an introduction/

overview), you may attend any single evening of your choice. Childcare is available upon request and advance notice.

Please register online at http://thefoundationministries.com/ or call me at 949-302-9899. This is a free seminar, so please invite any-one whom you think may benefit from this seminar.

BUILDING fORMATIvE AND fULfILLING RELATIONSHIpS WITH yOUR CHILDREN

SMCHS History teacher Scott McIntosh and his World War II classes were given the opportunity to hear first-hand reflections from World War II veterans

For the 5th consecutive year, History teacher Scott McIntosh provided his World War II classes the opportunity to hear first-hand experiences from three war veterans, from different military branches. Larry McCook, a retired member of the Marine Corps, has worked with McIntosh to bring veterans to SMCHS for the past 5 years as a chance to provide high school aged kids the opportunity to speak and listen to military person-nel that lived and served during WWII, the very subject they are studying.

McIntosh sees this this opportunity for his stu-dents as invaluable and something they will take with them forever.

“Bringing the veterans in to class gives the students a first person account of what is was like for those who were there. The textbook and my lectures can’t provide them with that learning experience. Ultimately, this is the day that the students will remember for the rest of their lives long after they have forgotten all about my lec-tures and the assignments from the book.”

This year, students listened to Captain Wes Wilson of the USMC, Seaman 1st Class Ernesto Schimmer of the US Navy, and Lieutenant Joe Onesty of the US Army Air Corp , which was the precursor to the Air Force.

These veterans told tales of being engaged in

aerial combat, meeting their wife while in boot camp, and seeing the world at the ripe age of 17.

Lieutenant Onesty remembered taking his entrance test into the US Army Air Corp before turning age 18; Seaman 1st Class recanted be-ing a surfer from Santa Monica before deciding to join the US Navy, and Captain Wilson spoke

about the different ranks he obtained during his 20+ years of service to our Country.

All three men conveyed the same message during their time with the class which was to make sure the students remained healthy, take care of themselves, and to take the path that in the years to come will make them happy.

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 the property itself. Placing 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 same 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 (714) 480-5690 or (800) 843-0260 ext 5690 or visit this Internet Web site: http://www.tacforeclosures.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case F539626 F. 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. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney. Date: April 24, 2013 T.D. SERVICE COMPANY as said Trustee, T.D.

About 248 registered participants and 42 teams have already raised $59,200 for the June 1-2 Mission Viejo-based Relay For Life at Saddleback College. With the countdown on to the American Cancer Society event, or-ganizers are hopeful Relay will raise $113,000 for this worthy cause.

More teams are sought to take part in this fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs. Dur-ing Relay For Life, team members will take turns walking or running laps. At nightfall, hundreds of luminaries are lit in a moving ceremony to honor cancer survivors and remember those who lost their battle to the disease.

Relay features food, games and activities that provide entertainment and build camaraderie. It is a family-friendly environment for the entire community. Folks can have fun while supporting a great cause.

Teams can register online or sign up on Saturday, June 1. Cancer survivors and caregivers are invited to walk the first lap at the event, which will feature a host of family and children activities.

Information about Relay for Life is available at www.mvrelay.org.
