DENTAL PATIENTS DRIVE TWO HOURS FROM VICTORVILLE TO SEE LADERA RANCH PAIN-FREE

DENTIST DR. MICHAEL TESSIERRecently, a mother called Dr. Michael Tessier’s of-fice to arrange an appointment for her fifteen-year-old daughter who is deathly afraid of shots in her mouth. Only one thing was unusual. They live in Victorville, about two hours away. But the long hot drive was certainly worth it to mom, if her daughter could have painless, shot-free dental work.“I visited Dr.Tessier several years ago before we moved to Victorville” said the child’s mother. “But when I took my fifteen year old daughter to a local

dentist out there, she screamed in pain and raised such a fuss and refused to ever go back. I thought she would change her mind, but she would not. Finally, I told her I knew of one dentist that was gentle and pain free but it was a long trip from Victorville to Ladera Ranch. At last she agreed to go”, she said.When they arrived for their appointment with Dr. Tessier, the young girl was crying, sobbing, and shaking, barely in control. Dr. Tessier said; “It took about thirty minutes for her mother and my staff to get her calmed down enough to get her dental work started”, he said, “Very soon using the Whisper Jet, a micro miniature sandblaster using 50 micron-size particles of aluminum oxide, and the Waterlase MD Laser, we got this young lady’s two fillings completed without anesthetic, and with no pain, because of today’s technol-ogy. The more I work with the laser and the sandblaster, filling teeth without the need for drilling and therefore anesthetic, the more I realize how much dentistry has changed over the last 30 years. When the drill and the car-bide burr were our only cutting options, we made it more likely that, in their later adulthood, these teeth would crack, ultimately needing crowns. Today, we’re leaving these teeth stronger. This stuff is great. So from now on, noth-ing will be difficult for her, except perhaps the ride from Victorville,” he said with a smile. Dr. Michael Tessier is located in Los Flores Plaza at 28562 Oso Parkway. Most major credit cards and dental plans cheerfully accepted. Telephone (949) 459-7212

On May 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Environmental Nature Center (ENC) will host a Summer Nature Camp Open House to showcase its eight-week summer camp beginning on July 2. The ENC is located at 1601 E.16thStreet, in Newport Beach.

The Open House is free to attend. The ENC encourages families to walk the nature trails and participate in ac-tivities with Camp Teachers and Junior Naturalists including: making a cloud in a jar, launching a “poppin’ rocket,” making a volcano, visiting the Butterfly House, as well as seeing and touching live reptiles, amphibians, arthropods, and mammals.

Summer Nature Camp beginning on July 2 and concluding on August 23 consists of eight one-week sessions, each with a different theme, including: Do It Yourself Camp, Planet Protec-

tors, Wilderness Survival, Under the Sea, Outdoor Adventure, Incredible Inventions, Outdoor Creativity, and Mad Science. The Camp is open to students entering Kindergarten through 6th grade and the sessions are divided into small groups based on age.

Since 1977, the Nature Camp has provided quality science education in an outdoor, hands-on setting. Camp-ers spend most of their time outside observing nature up close using tools like binoculars, magnifying lenses and microscopes. Science concepts are introduced in a fun environment, with crafts, games and hands-on activities.

The cost per session (1 week) is $175, with after-camp care provided for an additional $80; there is no camp on Fridays. These fees cover the costs of instruction, fieldtrip admission and transportation, art and laboratory

supplies, and an organic cotton camp T-shirt. A limited number of partial schol-arships are available.

For more information about attend-ing the Summer Nature Camp Open House or enrollment in the Summer Nature Camp, log onto the ENC’s web-site at www.encenter.org, or contact Lori Whalen, Director of Education, by phone at (949) 645-8489 or by email at [email protected]

The ENC’s 3 1/2 acre outdoor class-room displays 15 native plant com-munities that range from a desert, to a freshwater marsh, to a redwood forest. For more information about the electric vehicle recharging program call 949-645-8489, or visit www.ENCenter.org. The ENC is located at 1601 16th Street in Newport Beach.

The Laguna Canyon Foundation is one of six applicants that received funding to restore habitat in Orange County. A total of 55 acres in Aliso Creek will be restored to its natural condition.

OCTA Board of Directors today ap-proved $4.7 million in funds for six restora-tion projects that will help preserve open space lands throughout Orange County.

Funds will restore a total of 214 acres in Brea, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Yorba Linda and the County of Orange.

The restoration work will include re-moval of invasive and non-native weeds and plants and the reestablishment of native vegetation that play an important role in the ecosystem.

These efforts also encourage the return of native wildlife to reoccupy their former habitats. The work may begin as soon as early 2013 once a restoration plan and grants agreement for each project is complete.

The six restoration proposals possess the necessary biological value that would enable OCTA to obtain mitigation assur-ances and accelerate the environmental permit process for the 13 M2 freeway projects.

Beethoven’s crowning achieve-ment, the epic and exquisite Sym-phony No. 9, “Choral”—featuring the soul-stirring “Ode to Joy,” which has thrilled listeners around the world for nearly two centuries—brings Pacific Symphony’s 2011-12 classical sea-son to a memorable close in a variety of ways. First! The concert, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, features a monumental union of orchestra and voices that includes Pacific Chorale and four world-class opera singers—soprano Kelley Nassief; mezzo-soprano Susana Poretsky; tenor Chad Shelton; and bass Kevin Deas—who take on the florid and challenging solo passages in the fourth movement of Beethoven’s Ninth. Completing the program are two timely works by Frank Ticheli: “Rest” (a world premiere version for strings) and “Radiant Voices,” a hope-ful response to the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, providing a stunning prelude.

Taking place Thursday-Saturday, May 31, June 1-2, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Con-cert Hall, this concert is also part of the Symphony’s Music Unwound series and includes a display of Beethoven-inspired artwork by local artists who responded to the call: “OC Can You Create?” (more below). A

preview talk by composer Ticheli be-gins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25-$110; for more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.

Second! Pacific Symphony, in association with Segerstrom Center for the Arts, presents the very first “Pacific Symphony Plazacast,” a live simulcast of the Symphony’s Beethoven Ninth performance shown on the Center’s Arts Plaza during the Saturday, June 2, concert starting at 9 p.m., with festivities, including a selection of food available for pur-chase, beginning at 8:30 p.m. The evening is a prismatic celebration of Maestro St.Clair’s 60th birthday, the Center’s 25th anniversary and John Alexander’s 40th anniversary as artis-tic director of Pacific Chorale, hosted by Classical KUSC’s Rich Capparela. This unique event is free and open to the public with no ticket required. The community is invited to come early, bring chairs and blankets, and picnic on the plaza, while enjoying a preview and live interviews by Cap-parela with key guest artists—and a few surprises.

“Beethoven’s Ninth is a symphony in search of a voice,” says Maestro St.Clair. “Yet, we don’t hear that voice until the final movement. ‘Ode to

Joy’ has become an anthem for peace, for unification, for broth-erly love, for man-hood, and it’s just a simple little tune that we all know and can hum.”

When Beethoven’s Ninth premiered in 1824, conducted by the composer him-self, he was so pro-foundly deaf that he heard nary a note. Nor did he hear the five standing ovations the epic choral work received. This is the final complete symphony of Beethoven, which has become one of the best-known works of the Western classical repertoire, and has been adapted for use as the European Anthem. The symphony is considered one of Beethoven’s masterpieces and one of the greatest musical compositions ever written. It’s also the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony. The words were taken from “Ode to Joy,” a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785.

“‘Radiant Voices,’ though com-posed in 1993 as a result of his feelings about the L.A. riots, is more a hopeful statement that something

positive would come from this dark time,” says St.Clair. “Also, because he knew the orchestra so well, there are many solos for specific players and instruments. It starts with a cello solo; there’s also a trumpet solo, a clarinet solo, a flute cadenza, won-derful moments for just strings and a lot of percussion. It ends with an incredible joyful quality of sound and an energy that is quite positive, which is Frank Ticheli in a nutshell.”

This set of concerts is generously sponsored by Tara and David Troob. Pacific Symphony’s classical series performances are made possible by the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation, with additional support from American Airlines, The Westin South Coast Plaza, KUSC and PBS SoCal.

Masterpiece ball brings pbs socal $853k at 2012 gala

PBS SoCaL’s 2012 “Masterpiece Ball,” held at the Atlantic Aviation Hangar at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana had more than 350 attendees celebrating art, culture and education that benefited the station’s PBS educational outreach in Southern California.

The hosted cocktail reception was held out on the tarmac where guests were treated to champagne, beautiful cars, and passed hors d’oeuvres while watching the sunset over John Wayne Airport.

When the trumpets sounded, folks were escorted into the aviation hanger (which houses airplanes by day). The room was stunning, decorated exquisitely with a white shiny floor and white large round clusters of lights hanging from the tall ceil-ings with white streamers connecting each of the clusters for a dramatic effect. The tables decorated with purple linens, gold chairs and white china set the appropriate mood for the theme.

This black tie affair had some guests decked out in their costumes. From George and Julie Argyros with their period masks, Mindy and Glenn Sterns, Betty and Wiley Aiken and even TV actress Marcia Cross, men and women dressed to a “T”displaying the finest of the Victorian era.

Ed Arnold and Ann Pulice from PBS SoCaL’s Real Orange, served as Masters of Ceremonies where they introduced Dr. Jo Ellen Chatham, KOCE-TV Founda-tion Chair.

The fifth annual gala honored “Downtown Abbey” and Masterpiece Theatre Executive Producer Rebecca Eaton, the woman who brought the hit PBS series to America. Also honored were Southern California arts benefactors Marybelle and Sebastian Paul Musco and South Coast Repertory and Founding Artistic Directors David Emmes and Martin Benson. Each honoree was individually highlighted in a video presentation produced by Maria Hall-Brown.

Crème de la Crème once again wowed the crowd with a first course of Bibb Lettuce Wedge with Heirloom tomatoes, Maytag Bleu Cheese and Aged Red Wine Vinaigrette with an Heirloom Beet Salad. The main entrée consisted of an absolutely delicious Braised Boneless Short Ribs with Guinness, Dried Cherries and Sweet Potatoes. It was served with Creamy Parmesan Polenta, Cippolini Onions, Braised Brussel Sprouts and a vegetable tower. Dessert was just as yummy with a Three Berry Trifle, Cherry Strudel with Cherry Sauce and Chocolate Bread Pudding Timbale with English Toffee and Sabayon.

During dinner, guests were entertained by professional dancers from Motion/Tribe, and enjoyed listening to“You Lift Me Up” sung by one of Orange County High School of the Arts’ talented singers, Landon Swick. Attendees also were captivated by a surprise performance by “Mel and the Mel-Adjusteds”featuring PBS SoCaL President and CEO Mel Rogers, and the Mel-Adjusteds Jim McCluney, Jim Mazzo, Rick Reiff and Glenn Stearns.

The live auction portion of the evening had some high-profile auction items that included: Host a Party for Friends at Bluewater Grill, that went for $4500; 6-night Wild West Luxury Getaway at a Custom House in Southwestern Utah brought in $5000; A Dugout Suite with seating for 12 at a Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball game was sold twice at $3500 for a total of $7,000; A 4-night stay and Airfare to Istanbul, Turkey went for $10,000 and $4,000 bought 3-nights at Casa del Rey in Cabo San Lucas. A man’s Corum Admiral Competition Titanium and Rose Gold Watch sold for $10,000 and a 7-night Stay at Casa Piazza in Manzanillo, Mexico’s exclusive La Punta went twice at $8,000 for a total of $16,000.

The live auction was followed by a Fund-The-Need campaign supporting PBS So-CaL’s educational goals. Total proceeds from the gala are estimated at $853,000.00 and benefit the KOCE-TV Foundation, which is focused on making PBS SoCaL the leading educational force in homes throughout the greater Southland area.

After dinner and auction, folks were entertained by JT and California Dreamin’;they kept the evening lively with a 45-member band, fronted by John Tu and featured an ensemble of outstanding entertainers. On their way out, guests received an amazing

gift box filled with fabulous products provided by Arbonne, LLP.PBS SoCaL, formerly KOCE-TV, is Southern California’s PBS station dedicated

to interactively educating, entertaining, and enlightening the greater Los Angeles area. Through community outreach initiatives including PBS SoCaL Education, PBS SoCaL provides local schools access to new media materials that engage students in 21st century learning.

12 Minutes a day Mental gyMnasticsMemory exercises performed for

just 12 minutes a day for 8 consecu-tive weeks have proven to to keep the brain sharp and can reverse memory loss in those at risk for developing alzheimers. The memory exercise called Kirtan Kriya has been re-searched and tested, and has proven to be beneficial to the people at risk, as well as their caregivers.

“Kirtan Kriya is scientifically proven to boost blood flow to critical brain areas and increase mental energy, sharpen concentration and improve focus,” explains Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa, Medical Director of the Al-zheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation. Because of its demon-strated mental health benefits, Kirtan Kriya has been vigorously studied by the ARPF in concert with scientists from top medical schools such as UCLA, USCF, and the University of Pennsylvania, and findings have been published in prestigious medi-cal journals such as the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. “As a result of the extraordinary find-ings of these studies, Kirtan Kriya has been endorsed by the ARPF as a way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.”utive weeks have proven to to keep the brain sharp and can reverse memory loss

in those at risk for developing alzheimers. The memory extraor-dinary findings of these studies, Kirtan Kriya has been endorsed by the ARPF as a way to prevent Alzheimer’s dis-ease.” According to Dr. Dharma, Kirtan Kriya (pro-nounced “Keer-tun Kreea”), is a type of medita-tion derived from the Kundalini yoga tradition, which has been practiced for thousands of years. This meditation is often referred to as a singing exercise, and it involves singing the primal sounds “Saa”, “Taa”, “Naa”, and “Maa”, along with repetitive finger and thumb movements, or mudras. “The cur-rent recommendation for practicing Kirtan Kriya was developed by com-bining thousands of years of ancient techniques with millions of dollars of scientific study,” says Dr. Dharma. “The number one fear among adults is losing their mental faculties. It is important that people understand that

by taking preventative measures and making lifestyle changes, such as incorporating Kirtan Kriya exercises into a daily routine, we can reduce the number of people developing Al-zheimer’s by as much as 50 percent,” continues Dr. Dharma. It is believed that the placement of the tongue on the roof of the mouth while carrying out Kirtan Kriya chanting sounds stimulates 84 acupuncture points on the upper palate, causing a ben-eficial biochemical transformation in the brain. Additionally, research has revealed that utilizing the fingertip po-sition in conjunction with the sounds enhances blood flow to particular

areas in the motor-sensory part of the brain. The exercise increases brain blood flow to critically important areas and promotes greater atten-tion, concentration, focus, improved short term memory, and better mood. “Our research revealed a reduction in inflammation, less depression and a 44 percent increase in the enzyme known as telomerase, which is a breakthrough anti-aging discovery,” explains Dr. Dharma. “Essentially when you have more telomerase, you live longer in better health and with an improved memory.” More information is available at http://www.alzheimer-sprevention.org/research.htm

The reigning World Cup Cham-pion, Rich Fellers, once again rode away to victory in flawless fashion at Showpark Ranch and Coast in Del Mar, California. With the sun shining and the crowds filling up the stands, it was the place to be for some ex-hilarating competition. Fellers was just warming up with a solid one-two finish in the $10,000 1.40M Jumper Classic, presented by CardFlex. He then went on to steal the show with the only clear round in the $60,000 Grand Prix of California, presented by EQU Lifestyle Magazine. Giving his World Cup winning mount Flexible a well deserved week off from showing, Fellers was able to showcase some of his other notable mounts over the Grand Prix grass course here at the Del Mar Horse Park.

Today’s Grand Prix course was yet another reputable track built by th e prominent course designer Anthony D’Ambrosio. Twenty-nine horse and rider combinations took on the challenge and after a few rounds it appeared that it was going to take a superior ride to master the 14 obstacle test. The talk of the track was an early vertical-oxer double combination that prevented many riders from continuing onto the jump-off. “It was big,” Fellers smirked, “and anytime you put something that big early in the course it typically causes problems. The distance was set so you had to be precise. Too fast or too slow, it wouldn’t work. Overall, it was a really good 1.50M course” Eighteen of the twenty-nine rounds

came up with at least one rail at the 3ab combination. Other fences the competitors faced included a skinny vertical, a liverpool oxer to vertical combination, a huge triple bar, and a spooky vertical-vertical double combination that created a collection of refusals and rails.

In the final rounds of the class, Lise Gregory and Alec Lawler’s Crown Princess had one of the best rides through the complex 3ab combination. However with an unfortunate rail later in the course, the pair finished with just four faults in a time of 82.005, good enough for third. Zamiro (8), owned byAlix Fargo, and Susie Artes were the fastest of the four faulters, stopping the clock at 81.921 and finishing in second respectively. If it wasn’t go-ing to be the unstoppable champion Flexible himself to take the win, it was going to be one sired by him. Rich Fellers’ 10 year old Irish Sport Horse mare, Colgan Cruise, owned by Harry Chapman and Fellers, is sired by the champion. “She sure doesn’t look like Flexible,” Fellers laughed, “but she sure has the same heart he does. I took it easy with her last week (Del Mar National) to build her confidence and she felt as good as ever this week. I was very happy with her.”

Earlier in the day, it became an overall team effort when Rich Fellers rode away with both first and second in the $10,000 1.40M Jumper Clas-sic, presented by CardFlex. Dynamo is owned by Harry Chapman and

Friday evening’s featured class was the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby. A strong field of 40 horse and rider combinations took on the track by Joe Lombardo for this high performance challenge. By the end of the Classic Round, the leader-board had veteran rider John French sitting in the top three slots going into the Handy Round. Gabanno lead the way with a Classic Round score of 175. Small Affair and Celtic were both sitting comfortably in second and third with scores of 170.

Joe Lombardo built a fluid clas-sic course, however, when the top twelve returned for the Handy Round, there was a range of obstacles that resulted in a lot of movement amongst the final top twelve placings. With the four option fences, multiple tight turns, a ride up the bank to a vertical and back down to another vertical, a hand gallop to an oxer and a trot approach over the final fence, it became a tactical round in which the horse’s ability needed to be consid-ered. “I wanted to boost my horses’ confidence in the classic round,” French explained about Small Affair, “so I didn’t take all the options. My horse felt really good in the warm-up ring so even though there were a few spooky fences to look out for in the classic round, I did the same in the Handy round and it turned out great.” John French and Small Affair were able to rack up handy points with their quality of ride, movement,

and overall style throughout the round to walk away Champions. Gabanno, owned by Elizabeth McGil-livray, was the final horse to tackle the Handy Round. After tracking up the bank nicely, “He sort of scooted down the hill,” explained French, “and picked up speed. I tried to leave him alone to relax, but that caused him lose focus a bit,” resulting in an un-fortunate dropped rail. Celtic, owned by Heritage Farms Inc., was a new mount for French in the Derby yet was still confident he could handle the spooky jumps and options without a problem. Proving French right with a Handy Round score of 193, Celtic came out of the Handy Round as well earned Reserve Champion.

Multiple riders were able to ad-just the track to their horse’s abil-ity and move up the leaderboard. Notable mentions go to Christa Endicott and Davlyn Farms’ An-swered Prayer who came into the Handy Round in 12th, taking all the high options and adding style to her ride to collect additional handy points and finish 3rd respectfully. The competition continues in Del Mar for the Showpark June Jamboree, May 31st - June 3rd. It will then shift up to San Juan Capistrano for six weeks with the Blenheim June Clas-sic Series, June 6th - 24th, Blenheim Red, White & Blue, June 27th - July 1st, and the Blenheim Jumper Clas-sic, July 6th - 8th.

by Stephanie Nelson, CouponMom.com 1. Is high-end always better? Consider this question: Do my

lashes look 30 times better when I buy luxury-label mascara from the department store? It’s easy to pay much lower prices for cosmetics at the grocery store, drugstore, or discount store by following the same sorts of strategies you use to trim your food budget.

2. Use Coupons. To encourage women to buy their makeup at the grocery stores, cosmetic coupons have been flooding the circulars. For products such as hair color or premium moisturizer, it’s com-mon to find coupons for $5 off or more. Look for store coupons to stack with manufacturer’s coupons and pay next to nothing to look your best.

3. Wait for deals – no, steals! Most grocery stores feature labels like Loreal, Neutrogena, Max Factor, Revlon, Cover Girl, Maybelline, and Almay. You can almost find at least one of these brands on deep discount. Watch for 50% off sales and buy one, get one free offers, and put those coupons to work. My favorite Revlon eyeshadow costs $6.50 at full price but when my store sells for 50% off, I use a $2 coupon and can get it for only $1.25.

4. Become a drugstore diva. While you are there, you can combine store coupons, manufacturers’ coupons, and weekly promotions to save. CVS was offering a promotion in my area for $10 Extra Bucks reward as an automatic rebate with a $20 Cover Girl purchase. I bought three items to qualify and used three $1 off coupons. My final cost for $20 in cosmetics was $7.

5. Don’t keep it if you don’t like it. If cosmetics that you purchase at the drugstore or grocery store don’t meet your quality standards, return them for a refund. Keeping products you will never use is very expensive.

How soon can parents start teaching their children to play chess? In their Mongoose Press book, Chess Is Child’s Play,chess educators Laura Sherman and Bill Kilpatrick contend that parents can teach their children before they reach school age. By breaking down the elements of the game into “mini-games,” parents and young children alike can learn chess at their own pace.

“The first challenge was to teach chess to the parent who isn’t familiar with the game,” Sherman says. “We found that some parents were intimidated by chess. However, after applying our techniques they realized that they could learn to play, along with their children. Really anyone can learn to play the game if they are taught properly.”

Sherman and her husband Dan founded Your Chess Coach where they teach dozens of children aged 3-16 each week in various schools. This ex-perience helped them to discover what works and what doesn’t.

“My father taught me to play chess when I was nine years old,” Sherman notes. “I think many parents feel that a child needs to be at least that age to learn, but I have found that very young children love to learn chess and do quite well. Young boys and girls gravitate naturally to a chess set!”

The “Learning to Think Project” in Venezuela showed that IQ increased in elementary school children when they learned to play chess. A study in New York showed that even reading skill can improve thanks to chess. Many other studies around the world give similar results: chess helps children to do better in school and in life.

Chess can even improve children’s social skills. According to Joyce Brown, an educator at the Roberto Clemente School in New York, “Our studies have shown that incidents of suspension and outside altercations have decreased by at least 60 percent since these children became interested in chess.’’

When your primary care physician tells you that you need to see a specialist, most patients assume their doc-tor will refer them to a quality physician. After all, any-one who is going to treat you should be board-certifi ed, well versed in the latest techniques and have an impres-sive record of successes with other patients; right? Well it may come as a surprise that the referral system doesn’t actually work that way. Most people assume their primary care doctor has a rolodex of top notch spe-cialists to pass along as needed. In today’s fast paced world, primary care physicians simply don’t have the time to go out, research and meet with other specialists.With specialists operating margins falling over the past decade and health care reforms putting pressure on their bottom line, quality specialists have a need to do a better job educating referring doctors and patients about their expertise. That’s where 2 local residents, Gary Calvaneso and Sandra McElwee who met through Saddleback Church, decided there was an opportunity to work with quality specialists and educate referring primary care physi-cians about their skills. In early 2011, they formed a re-ferral marketing company called The Referral Special-ists (www.TheReferralSpecialists.com).

The Referral Specialists provide practice representatives and referral marketing services to specialty physicians. Practice representatives are experienced healthcare professionals who call on primary care physicians and complementary specialists to educate them about their specialist client’s expertise. Since starting their business, their specialty physician clients have experienced positive gains as a direct re-sult of their services. Typically these specialists triple or quadruple the number of referring physicians who refer to them and increase their bottom line. In fact, the Refer-ral Specialists business caught the attention of the Wall Street Journal’s Smart Money magazine where they were mentioned by name.“Our business connects quality specialists with PCP’s (Primary Care Physicians) through referral marketing, said Gary Calvaneso, Managing Partner. Educating the medical community not only benefi ts everyone in the medical market but also produces jobs which is some-thing that our community really needs”.Aside from achieving positive results for their clients, what makes The Referral Specialists unique is their ded-ication to helping those that are unemployed and need help. For Calvaneso, it is something he takes to heart.

Gary Calvaneso, Mary Baker, Sandra McElwee, Miriam Kang, Linda Matulis

Nearly every Monday for the past 6 years, Calvaneso has been a volunteer at Saddleback Church in Lake For-est, listening to and coaching unemployed people with a smile and an offer of hope. “For our practice reps, we only consider candidates that are unemployed” said Calvaneso. “We are not interested in recruiting people that already have a job and an in-come. We prefer to support those that do not. It is our way of giving back to the community by helping those in need which is a principle of our faith.”“You would be surprised at the high level of unemployed talent there is out there” said Sandra McElwee, Manag-ing Partner. “One of our practice reps is a senior woman with over 25 years of pharmaceutical sales experience calling on physicians’ offi ces. She was out of work for over 2 years before joining up with us and has done a great job for our clients”.Not only do the Referral Specialists focus on work-ing with unemployed candidates, but they also do the same for suppliers. “We wanted to apply our faith based principles of helping those in need to all aspects of our business, said Calvaneso”. “Even the caterer we use is trying to generate income through a home based busi-ness. What employers need to understand is that being unemployed has nothing to do with talent or quality. We carefully screen our suppliers, looking for skill and qual-ity fi rst. The doctors all rave about her food and she now gets additional business from them”. “We have a stay-at-home mom who makes some of the best toffee you’ll ever taste, right out of her home kitch-en. Here again, our clients rave about her toffee and have provided her additional business” said Calvaneso.For his volunteerism in supporting people in transition in 2011, Calvaneso received the Orange County Spirit of Volunteerism Award as part of the leadership team managing Saddlebacks Career Coaching and Counseling program. If you are a physician with a specialty medical practice and are interested in a free consultation to learn more about how The Referral Specialists can help increase re-ferrals from other physicians, visit their website at www.TheReferralSpecialists.com , call them 949-433-1702 or e-mail them at [email protected].

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.

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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further re-course against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.
