Cal Knights Baseball hosted Orange<br />
County’s 1st Annual Baseball<br />
Conference on Monday, November<br />
14, 2011. The event was structured to<br />
provide young baseball players and<br />
their families with information on various<br />
baseball topics. The night began<br />
with an introduction by Mission Viejo<br />
Mayor, Dave Leckness, followed by<br />
Tom Calahan, Cal Knights Baseball’s<br />
first coach, who returned to speak<br />
proudly of his early involvement with<br />
the local non-profit baseball academy.<br />
With nearly 300 guests attending,<br />
most were prepared with notebook in<br />

Conference’s guests speakers. Local<br />

WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS JOIN CAL KNIGHTS<br />
BASEBALL CONFERENCE IN MISSION VIEJO<br />
vidual on and off the field.<br />

orthopaedic surgeon Dr.<br />
Michael Fitzpatrick, former<br />
professional Coach<br />
Jim Gattis, Angels Baseball’s<br />
Steve Hernandez,<br />
Coach Lou Punto, and<br />
strength and conditioning<br />

The surprise of the<br />
evening, was the moment<br />
that Cal Knights coach,<br />
Lou Punto, introduced<br />
two World Champions to<br />
the group; his son Nick<br />
Punto, and close friend<br />
Skip Schumaker, both<br />
of the 2011 World Series<br />
Champion St. Louis Cardinals. Coach<br />
Punto discussed the importance of<br />
having the heart to play the great<br />
game of baseball, and that it is not<br />
always the “big guy” who makes the<br />
cut. Nick Punto and Skip Schumaker<br />
both discussed similar themes with<br />
the attending players and their families;<br />
it was hard work, perseverance,<br />
and team work that took the St. Louis<br />
Cardinals all the way to their World<br />

team to have great synergy, and that<br />
means playing the game as a true<br />
sportsman, and getting along with<br />
your teammates.<br />

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

Over 27,000 attended Tim McGraw’s Tour<br />
for the Troops concert at Camp Pendleton,<br />
November 13. “I am proud to perform for the<br />
troops and to celebrate our heroes, bringing<br />
attention to the need to improve the quality<br />
of life among men and women who serve our<br />
country,” said Tim McGraw, who is not only a<br />
GRAMMY® Award-winning musician, but also<br />
an honorary chairman of the Tug McGraw<br />
Foundation. The Tug McGraw foundation is<br />
focused on providing, “support and resources<br />
for people affected by brain tumors and brainrelated<br />
trauma…”. The Air Force Reserve, Tri-<br />
West Healthcare Alliance and Marine Corps<br />
Community Services sponsored the event,<br />
benefiting The Tug McGraw Foundation.<br />
Tour for the Troops is a program by the Air<br />
Force Reserve that “has brought top entertainers<br />
to all branches of the Military both domestically<br />
as well as overseas”. The program<br />
raises awareness of the Air Force Reserve<br />
as well as “the morale of the brave men and<br />
women who defend and serve our Nation”.<br />
Performers who have participated in the Air<br />
Force Reserve Tour for the Troops include<br />
Kid Rock, Styx, Ludacris, Blake Shelton, Jay<br />
Leno, and Martin Lawrence, just to name a<br />
few. Tour for the Troops shows are free to<br />
DOD ID cardholders and their dependents,<br />
but civilians are welcome and encouraged<br />
to attend.<br />

The National Football League<br />
(NFL) rolls right through the holiday<br />
season and fans of the sport have<br />
plenty to look forward to with playoffs<br />
and the Superbowl. But how do you<br />
buy things for a NFL fan? There are<br />
actually plenty of things to easily<br />
please a NFL fan during the holidays.<br />
TIM MCGRAW PERFORMS AT CAMP PENDLETON<br />
2011-2012 NFL HOLIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE<br />
Jerseys<br />
Every Sunday, NFL fans bring out<br />
the food, drinks, and big screen TV,<br />
but other than cheering, they need<br />
something to support their team. A<br />
football jersey is perfect for this, and<br />
you can find one for every team. In<br />
most cases, many of the players<br />
are available too, and even custom<br />
jerseys featuring their own name on<br />
the back of the jersey.<br />
Christmas Decorations<br />
Why decorate the house with red<br />
and green when you can decorate<br />
with NFL team colors. There are team<br />
stockings, light up Santa hats, ornaments,<br />
and even lights. It could be<br />
a Dallas Cowboy or New York Giant<br />
themed Christmas every year.<br />
Tickets<br />
There is nothing much better than<br />
watching a football game on a big<br />
screen TV except for actually being<br />
there. Most regular season tickets<br />
are usually sold out, but EBay offers<br />
many tickets and playoff tickets are<br />
released as soon as all of the brackets<br />
are announced. Prices can get<br />
up there, but it will be a memorable<br />
experience for anyone who attends.<br />

Wall Murals<br />
If you cannot afford to take the fan<br />
to the stadium then bring the stadium<br />
to them. With full sized wall murals,<br />
fans can feel like they are actually<br />
part of the stadium with these huge,<br />
incredible pictures. Ranging from<br />
$100 to $200, the murals are great<br />
for any NFL fan and are great for any<br />
game room or TV room.<br />
Autographs<br />
MLB fans love the autographed<br />
baseballs and NFL<br />
fans will love autographed<br />
footballs. A little pricier than<br />
a baseball, an autographed<br />
football from a legend like Lawrence<br />
Taylor or newer players<br />
like Tom Brady will make any<br />
fan’s day and adding in a nice<br />
clear plastic display case would<br />
make an excellent display case.<br />
DVDs<br />
During the NFL off-season, fans<br />
may be going through droughts, but<br />
they can get by that with many DVD<br />
sets. Many teams have sets on the<br />
history of their team, and there are<br />
a couple Super Bowl history sets<br />
that cover the most popular game in<br />
sport’s history. Other DVDs include<br />
the funny NFL Follies and a Hall of<br />
Fame DVD set.<br />

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

The Roman Catholic Diocese of<br />
Orange, now ranked tenth in Catholic<br />
population in the nation, has been<br />
awarded the opportunity to purchase<br />
the Crystal Cathedral. The iconic<br />
Philip Johnson designed structure<br />
and its adjacent 30.9 acre campus<br />
and buildings located in Garden<br />
Grove, CA have been the subject<br />
of complicated bankruptcy proceedings<br />
brought by creditors and others<br />
against Crystal Cathedral Ministries.<br />
The decision announced today by<br />
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert<br />
N. Kwan confirmed the selection of<br />
the Diocese by the Crystal Cathedral<br />
Ministries board of directors as the<br />
preferred buyer. The Crystal Cathedral<br />
Ministries Board determined the<br />
terms of the monetary and non-monetary<br />
Diocesan offer more acceptable<br />
to a competing proposal by Chapman<br />
University.<br />
While the court has validated the<br />
award, occupancy by the Diocese of<br />
the campus and use of the church will<br />
not be immediate. Under the terms<br />
of the agreement, Crystal Cathedral<br />
Ministries may continue to use the<br />
church and other campus structures<br />
for a period of up to three years. During<br />
the same period a diocesan pas-<br />

The Only Weekly <strong>News</strong>paper Exclusively for the <strong>Ladera</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> Area The <strong>Ladera</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
toral center will be established on the<br />
Garden Grove campus and nearby<br />
parish school and church eventually<br />
transferred to the new location.<br />
The initial decision to bid on the<br />
Crystal Cathedral Ministries property<br />
surfaced as an alternative to existing<br />
diocesan plans to design and build a<br />
new Catholic cathedral to serve the<br />
present and anticipated needs of the<br />
growing Diocese of Orange.<br />
Encouraged by a panel of lay advisors<br />
and other experts, the Diocese<br />
began the bid process with the intention<br />
of acquiring a suitable worship<br />
space and administrative campus<br />
for less overall cost than original<br />
construction would demand and be<br />
available over a shorter time period.<br />
Bishop Tod D. Brown also expressed<br />
his personal concern over<br />
the possibility of the Crystal Cathedral<br />
church being re-developed for<br />
other than worship use. Indeed, its<br />
continued use as a place of worship<br />
was prominent in the Crystal Cathedral<br />
Ministries’s decision to select the<br />
diocese as the preferred buyer.<br />
While critical design upgrades will<br />
be required before the church can be<br />
used as a Catholic Cathedral, today’s<br />
court award accomplishes the original<br />
BAPTIST CHURCH<br />
CATHOLIC DIOCESE ACQUIRES CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL<br />
diocesan goals, maintains the Crystal<br />
Cathedral itself as a place of worship,<br />
and underscores the vital relationship<br />
between the Catholic laity and clergy<br />
here in Orange County.<br />
“We sincerely regret the difficult<br />
circumstances Dr. Schuller and his<br />
ministry have encountered. Those<br />
challenges have now enabled the<br />
Diocese of Orange to protect this<br />
wonderful structure as a place of<br />
worship and will soon provide our<br />
Catholic community with a new cathedral,<br />
pastoral center, parish school<br />
and more. Despite these wonderful<br />
results, we are nonetheless sad-<br />
dened by the events that led us to<br />
today’s award and offer our respect<br />
to Dr. Schuller and his ministry,” said<br />
Bishop Tod D. Brown.<br />
As Bishop Brown has said many<br />
times during this process, the Diocese<br />
would not have been able to<br />
capably bid and then compete for this<br />
property without the invaluable counsel<br />
and contributions of many within<br />
its lay community. “Today’s wonderful<br />
news clearly validates that our church<br />
is of the people and the clergy – it is<br />
a shared joy that we have today. And<br />
I am grateful to have been a part of<br />
this effort,” Bishop Brown concluded.

PERSONALIZE YOUR<br />
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING<br />
THIS YEAR AND MAKE<br />
YOUR RECIPIENTS<br />
HAPPIER<br />
By Marissa Lee<br />
Sure, you could go to the<br />
mall this Christmas season and<br />
just browse around, picking up<br />
random gifts for you friends and<br />
family. Or you could buy a bunch<br />
of generic gifts--like bath sets-that<br />
basically say to the recipient<br />
“Here, I got you...something.<br />
Because I felt like I should.” Or<br />
you can make Christmas shopping<br />
more fun, interesting and<br />
personalized this year. I think a<br />
mistake a lot of shoppers make<br />
is going to a store with no real<br />
ideas in mind, then trying to pick<br />
things out and forcing them to<br />
feel like a good idea. This kind<br />
of approach makes no sense<br />
to me. I mean, you spend your<br />
money on someone else, buying<br />
them something they don’t<br />
particularly want or need, while<br />
they spend their money on you,<br />
doing the same. It would make<br />
more sense, in this case, for<br />
both parties to simply keep their<br />
own money and use it to buy<br />
something they really like/want/<br />
need. But tradition is tradition,<br />
and exchanging Christmas gifts<br />
is not going to change anytime<br />
soon. So you might as well make<br />
the most of it.<br />
Going to the mall and browsing<br />
around, picking up a random<br />
object that seems okay enough<br />
and trying to figure out who on<br />
your shopping list may want it<br />
is no way to go about Christmas<br />
shopping. In fact, that’s a<br />
surefire way to end up buying a<br />
bunch of generic, non-customized<br />
presents that people will<br />
politely accept and then banish<br />
to storage. Instead, personalize<br />
your Christmas shopping this<br />
year to make it more effective<br />
and efficient. Start by writing a<br />
list of all the people you want/<br />
need to buy presents for (prioritizing<br />
it by putting the key<br />
people in your life at the top,<br />
and the people you just kind of<br />
feel obligated--like coworkers,<br />
for instance--to buy for). Then<br />
begin trying to figure out ideas<br />
for each person, writing all of<br />
them down as they come to you.<br />

TIPS FOR MAKING CHRISTMAS SHOPPING MORE EFFECTIVE,<br />
EFFICIENT AND FUN<br />
cific, just write down whatever<br />
comes to you. However, while<br />
you come up with ideas, keep<br />
this in mind: most people who<br />
have disposable income tend<br />
to buy themselves things that<br />
they want. So they have or can<br />
easily get the stuff they want.<br />
The trick for people like this is<br />
to come up with something that<br />
they wouldn’t think to get themselves,<br />
for whatever reason.<br />
You have to be a bit creative.<br />
That’s why you can’t just go to<br />
Target and buy __________ (fill<br />
in the blank here), because they<br />
would’ve already gotten it, probably,<br />
had they wanted it. That’s<br />
why you need to think outside<br />
the box. Is there something you<br />
think they’d like but aren’t aware<br />
of that you could introduce them<br />
to? Is there something they may<br />
have wanted but felt it was too<br />
indulgent for them to buy for<br />
themselves? Is there something<br />
that never would’ve occurred to<br />
them to buy? Is there a way you<br />
could personalize/customize<br />
something to make it special? Is<br />
there something homemade that<br />
they would really appreciate?<br />
These are some of the questions<br />
you can ask yourself when coming<br />
up with ideas.<br />
If you have trouble coming up<br />
with ideas for certain people,<br />
call the people they’re closest<br />
to and ask for suggestions. You<br />
might not know for sure what to<br />
get your niece but maybe her<br />
mom or boyfriend has some<br />
good ideas. Barring that, think<br />
carefully about how the person<br />
responded to past presents.<br />
Everyone is always polite when<br />
receiving presents, of course,<br />
but you can usually tell what a<br />
person is really excited about,<br />
present-wise. So try to think<br />
back to what gifts went over<br />
well in previous years, and see<br />
if you can glean some ideas from<br />
that. Another tricky way to get<br />
ideas is to go on the person’s<br />
Myspace (www.myspace.com)<br />
or Facebook (www.facebook.<br />
com) profile (assuming he/she<br />
has one) and look around. There<br />
are usually sections there where<br />
people write about their likes,<br />
interests, and tastes in music,<br />
movies, books, etc. Facebook<br />
also has “fan pages” that a person<br />
can join when he/she is a fan<br />
of something specific, so that’s<br />
another great place to look.<br />
Once you’ve gotten your ideas<br />
written down you can begin<br />
shopping. I recommend starting<br />
with the internet, as you have<br />
an almost unlimited selection<br />
online for all kinds of things. It<br />
can also be *a lot* less stressful<br />
and therefore more fun. You can<br />
forget about traffic and crowds<br />
and lines, sit in your pajamas,<br />
drink hot chocolate, listen to<br />
music of your choice (that way,<br />
you won’t be forced to listen to<br />
Christmas music), and relax.<br />
Sure, you’ll have to pay for shipping<br />
but hey, you’d have had to<br />
pay for gas if you went out anyway.<br />
Then again, there’s nothing<br />
wrong with shopping the classic<br />
way if that’s what you prefer. The<br />
point is to start looking around<br />
with the help of your idea list.<br />
That should make Christmas<br />
shopping a lot easier and more<br />
fun. But then, there are always<br />
those people who are almost<br />
impossible to shop for. Either<br />
they have everything they need,<br />
or you don’t know enough about<br />
them and have no real way of<br />
finding out more, or they’re<br />
incredibly picky, or...whatever.<br />
The point is, when it comes to<br />
those extra-difficult-to-shop-for<br />
people, I think the best way to go<br />
is a general gift certificate. I’ve<br />
never known anyone not to appreciate<br />
a gift certificate. Plus,<br />
I think they can be a better gift<br />
than just money, as when I get<br />
money I often end up spending<br />
it on boring things like bills but<br />
gift certificates give me a reason<br />
to buy myself something cool. Of<br />
course, there’s still the question<br />
of where to get the gift certificate<br />
for in that instance, which is why<br />
you should go with somewhere<br />
general with a wide selection/<br />
variation of stuff. Not to rely<br />
too heavily on the internet, but<br />
Amazon.com, for example, has<br />
such a wide variety of stuff that<br />
it would be almost impossible for<br />
someone not to find something<br />
they like there.<br />
So yeah. Go through your list,<br />
getting ideas from it or using it<br />
more specifically, find what you<br />
can, and get gift certificates for<br />
those you just can’t find something<br />
for. Enjoy your shopping<br />
this year. Hopefully these suggestions<br />
will help make your<br />
shopping more effective and<br />
your recipients happier.

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