“You have always given me concerned, compassionate care.”

“I appreciate your willingness to spend time giving clear, easily understood explanations of my illnesses and treatments.”

“Thank you for taking care of my family, especially the way you interact with our handicapped son.”

“I am very grateful that you were able to make an accurate diagnosis after I had already seen several other doctors.”

Eleven years? Heaven to our ears.

Thank you, Santa Clarita.

Best Medical Group 11 Years In A Row.

What makes a medical group the best? It’s not just online scheduling (though we do offer that). It’s not being able to reach someone in the middle of the night (we have you covered there, too). You want a doctor who knows that there’s no such thing as a “routine procedure.” You want a doctor who listens.

You want a doctor you can trust. We’re proud to be those doctors.

American Restaurant!

JERSEY MIKE’S At Jersey Mike’s, we carefully consider every aspect of what we do — every slice, every sandwich, every store. We provide our customers with sustenance and substance, too. Here’s how we do it: Red wine vinegar and an olive oil blend. It’s how a Jersey Mike’s sub gets its exquisite zing. It’s how bites get boosted, and a great sub becomes an even better one. The Juice adds that certain something extra. An exclamation. The kind of exclamation … you can eat.

Our produce is grown, packed and shipped locally (where available), and then handled with the utmost care at our stores. When you eat one of our subs Mike’s Way, you can be certain that your veggies were prepped by hand earlier that day for the highest level of freshness and flavor.

When it comes to quality, refusing to compromise has been an important part of our heritage. It’s why we choose only the leanest, tastiest cuts of meats and fine, aged cheeses.

NEWHALL REFINERY... always up to something DELICIOUS! TACO TUESDAY . WATER|FLOUR WEDNESDAY . STAFF BURGER THURSDAY . CHEF’S TASTING MENU FRI/SAT

WWW.NEWHALLREFINERY.COM

Slicing meats and cheeses right in front of you is not only the tastiest way to make a sub sandwich — it’s the only authentic way. Same goes with fresh grilling cheese steaks. At Jersey Mike’s, we would have it no other way.

Authentic Jersey bread is the foundation of a sub above. We bake our bread fresh in our stores every day. Traditional white and whole wheat.

It’s the only way to have a truly authentic Jersey Mike’s sub.

Jersey Mikes has five locations in the SCV to serve you. For the nearest location, go to www.jerseymikes.com/locations.

$500CASH OR $100 GIFT CERTIFICATE July 27, 2019

EXPLAINING POPULAR BEER STYLES The explosion of the craft brewing industry, which the Brewers Association notes experienced a 5 percent growth in 2017, ensures that just about anyone can find a beer that suits his or her palate. Beers are often placed into one of two categories, ales and lagers, though the difference between beers within each category is significant. Craft beer novices or those who simply need a refresher course on their refreshments may benefit from studying up on these popular beer styles.

Ales Ales are a type of beer brewed with top-fermenting yeast, which is often referred to as ale yeast. One of two types of yeast used in brewing, topfermenting yeast is unable to ferment some sugars. Because of that, beers made with top-fermenting yeast may have a sweet flavor. Beers made with top-fermenting yeasts can tolerate high-alcohol concentrations, so ales may have a high alcohol by volume, or ABV.

Stouts Stouts also are made with top fermenting yeast, placing them in the ale category, though they are not as sweet as ales. Stouts, including the popular Irish stout Guinness, tend to feature creamy heads. A dark, coffee-like character also is common in many stouts, and that can be traced to the use of un-malted roasted barley during their production.

Porters Similar to stouts, porters are made with top-fermenting yeast. Porters are brewed with roasted malt, setting them apart from stouts. Porters are dark, and many are described as producing flavors of chocolate, coffee and caramel.

Lagers Lagers are brewed with bottom-fermenting yeast and generally feature a lower ABV and lighter color than ales. Examples of American lagers include Budweiser and Coors, though many craft brewers also produce lagers. Dark lagers are malty and smooth, and such beers typically have a higher ABV than more traditional lagers.

Craft breweries produce a variety of styles of beer, and those new to the craft beer scene should know that many craft breweries produce their own ales, stouts, porters, and lagers. When visiting a craft brewery for the first time, men and women may want to order a flight, which is a selection of the various beers brewed by a particular brewer, with each beer typically served in a four-ounce glass. Doing so allows beer drinkers to sample various beers and find the style that suits them best. (MC)

by Logix Federal Credit Union, takes place every Saturday night through Aug. 25! These free events, which were voted “Best Live Entertainment”

Here are some fun facts about Concerts in the Park that you may not know: • 2019 marks the 30th year of Concerts in the Park.

• Prior to being at Central Park, Concerts in the Park rotated through various parks throughout Santa Clarita.

• It is estimated that total attendance will surpass 48,000 attendees, an average of 6,000 per concert.

• The Concerts in the Park stage takes three days to assemble. It is assembled before the first concert of the year and is left up in Central Park throughout the summer.

• More than 100 bands applied to play at Concerts in the Park in 2018.

• A four-person committee comprised of City staff selects which bands will play.

• It takes approximately 20 staff hours to review all the bands before selecting the final eight to perform.

Popular trends in the restaurant industry Dining out is no longer reserved for celebrating milestones or other special occasions. Many people dine out regularly for meals. A 2016 Gallup poll found that 61 percent of Americans eat dinner out at least once a week, and 16 percent are frequent diners, eating out three or more times per week.

People who regularly dine out may have noticed some of the growing trends that have emerged in recent years that are helping to shape dining experiences.

•

Picked-on-property offerings: Many restaurants now serve foods grown, picked and processed on the premises. Rooftop or small courtyard gardens enable restaurateurs to pass the freshness on to customers.

Chefs grind their own spice blends, harvest their own eggs, cure their own bacon, and embrace other hyper-local fare.

•

Gut-friendly foods: Some restaurants are experimenting with preparing and offering foods that are friendly to the digestive tract. These establishments emphasize prebiotic and probiotic ingredients and focus some of their efforts on producing menus with foods that boast anti-inflammatory properties.

•

Streamlined menus: Food waste is a problem across the globe. Operating a sustainable restaurant requires careful decisions about the foods that make it onto the menu. Instead of offering five different chicken dishes, a restaurant may focus on two or three popular standards to cut back on waste.

•

Fast casual: Fast casual restaurants do not offer full table service, but offer a higher quality of food than traditional fast-food restaurants. These establishments also may be headed by trained and experienced chefs who add unique twists to popular menu items.

•

Extended delivery options: Dining out doesn’t have to mean eating away from home. A growing number of restaurants are emphasizing their curbside takeaway, drive-throughs and delivery services. Travel-friendly fare and heat-and-eat meals are competing with convenient options available at grocery stores.

•

Back to basics: More and more customers are looking for classic dishes they equate with home cooking. As a result, many restaurants are stripping away the pretense and extra ingredients and turning to traditional recipes. Restaurant trends continue to evolve as a greater number of diners are going out to eat. (MC)

When dining out — help your server (and fellow guests) with good behavior Dining out opens doors to new cuisines and gives people some time off from preparing meals at home. The National Restaurant Association says that the restaurant industry brings in around $800 billion in sales each year, providing jobs for 14.7 million people. In fact, restaurant workers make up 10 percent of the American workforce.

Line cooks, bussers and servers work hard, and many do so for low pay.

According to the employment salary comparison source Glassdoor, restaurant servers typically earn an average of $21,000 per year.

The job-search site Indeed says some servers earn $10.70 per hour, and most rely on tips to make ends meet. Make reservations. If possible, or if it’s a requirement on busy nights, take the time to make a reservation.

Reservations help establishments ensure they will have enough staff on hand to meet customers’ needs, which can lead to better service. Show up on time or even a few minutes early.

food or how long it takes to prepare it.

Tip accordingly. It is customary in many North American restaurants for diners to offer a gratuity to their servers and other staff. It is in poor taste to withhold a tip, even if service was not up to par. If service is subpar, it’s still proper etiquette to leave a tip and then voice any concerns with the manager before leaving the restaurant or the next day. Even if a waiter or waitress is not up to snuff, tips may be pooled and are typically shared with bussers or even kitchen staff.

Proper etiquette while dining out can make for a more enjoyable night for all involved. (MC)

The oldest location in the Santa Clarita Valley with the newest design in Southern California!

Put your phone on silent. Just because someone can reach you at all hours of the day doesn’t mean you should always answer a call or text.

Staring at the screen or talking on a call is not only rude, it also can delay table service, which may cause a trickle-down effect that affects others’ dining experiences.

Don’t make a scene. If you find a foreign object in your food or need your steak cooked to a different temperature, signal the server and handle the situation discreetly. He or she has no control over the quality of the July 27, 2019

PAUL DAVIS RESTORATION OF SANTA CLARITA The list of reasons people call Paul Davis Restoration of Santa Clarita after they’ve incurred a loss like water, mold, fire, smoke and more are numerous, but the response is always the same: “We’re on our way!”

Local Paul Davis owners Joel and Susan Moss have managed to set their company apart in a way that has translated to an ever-expanding referral base of thrilled former clients, insurance agents, realtors and more — plus a brand-new expanded headquarters in Valencia. “The greatest honor,” says Joel, “is hearing from a new client that a friend or contractor gave them our card and said, ‘Don’t bother calling anyone else. They’ll take care of you.’”

That means something different in every case; no two damages are alike. “The consistency can be found in our lightening-fast response times, in our ability to reduce the stress that’s inherent in these situations, to streamline paperwork and phone calls so that we’re not further inconveniencing a client and our accessibility — you can always reach us for questions or guidance,” explains Joel, a licensed contractor with decades of experience. “And that’s just the business side of it. When it comes to restoration, we’re known for premier, top-tier service. We’re going to carefully remove, clean and store your belongings; provide fast, high-quality restoration services that prioritize your safety and comfort while also being aesthetically pleasing; and then, when the client is thrilled with the work, we’re going to put everything where we found it so that life gets back to normal.”

SUNPOWER BY GREEN CONVERGENCE Big Changes Make 2019 The Year To Go Solar So, the neighbors have gotten solar and you are still wondering whether it’s right for you? It’s time to have a conversation with an experienced solar consultant, because big changes are coming.

CLARK PEST CONTROL Thank you for voting us Santa Clarita’s Best Pest Control Company for the 8th time

According to local solar company, SunPower by Green Convergence, solar is more affordable thanks to a U.S. government rebate program called the Investment Tax Credit (ITC). Since 2015, 30% of the cost of your solar installation comes back as a rebate on the following year’s taxes, even on financed systems. Next year, the ITC is stepping down 4%, and will continue to drop in 2021 before expiring completely for residential customers.

Originally founded in 1940, Clark Pest Control Inc.has grown to become one of the West’s largest pest management companies with branches throughout California. As one of the largest family-owned and operated pest management companies in California, we are grateful to be voted Santa Clarita’s Best Pest Control Company for the 8th time.

Clark Pest Control Inc. has just celebrated its 79th year in business.

With this reduction, every solar installer is going to see a mad rush of customers wanting systems installed before the end of the year.

Because of permitting, utility approval and other factors, the installation window can take 45-60 days. If you want to be sure to get the full rebate, you should be talking to an experienced solar dealer/installer before the end of summer.

Today, Clark Pest Control Inc. employs knowledgeable and reliable service technicians and experienced quality control supervisors who assure that the company’s highest-quality standards are met with each and every service they perform. Clark Pest Control offers a wide variety of affordable, customized pest and termite control solutions to meet all of our customer’s needs.

And what is all this about batteries? With the proliferation of electric vehicles, the price of large-scale battery storage has come down. According to Green Convergence, many more solar customers incorporate batteries into their home systems. With a home battery like Tesla Powerwall or SonnenBatterie, you can keep the lights on after an earthquake, keep home security systems running during a neighborhood fire evacuation, or just use the solar energy you generated to power your house at night.

Clark Pest Control’s mission is to exceed client expectations with the most effective pest control available, which is always done in an ethical, professional, responsive and caring manner. As a thank you, we are offering all new customers $80 off their initial service. We are also offering our valued customers a $50 referral credit for every new annual account they refer us. If you would like to speak with us or have any questions on pests, please call 661-255-2253.

Thank you Santa Clarita for voting us Best Pest Control Company for the 8th time!

Here’s to many more years of keeping you pest free.

All of us at Clark Pest Control thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you! Call us today and ask about our $50 referral credit!

THANK YOU, SANTA CLARITA, FOR NAMING US

On behalf of our entire organization, I want to thank you for voting Stay Green Inc. as the Best Landscape Maintenance Company in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Since our founding nearly 50 years ago, Stay Green has been committed to delivering quality landscape services — from landscape design, build and maintenance to drought defense, brush clearance, tree care, emergency services and more — for our clients and our community.

Over the years, our commitment to quality and innovation has earned Stay Green more than 100 regional and national awards. While these awards have affirmed the quality of our work, we are most proud of the relationships we’ve built with our clients, the projects we’ve been a part of and the reputation we’ve made for ourselves. We have been and continue to be fortunate to work with some of the best clients, vendors and employees in the industry.

We will never forget the recent drought and the ways it made our cities and communities stronger. When drought conditions spiked, many HOAs, commercial properties and government organizations turned to Stay Green for solutions, and ultimately took our advice to choose turf replacement, water-saving irrigation design and drought-tolerant vegetation.

OUR MISSION IS QUALITY WORKMANSHIP AND RELIABILITY AT AFFORDABLE PRICES

661.268.0198 WWW.SAUFLEYELECTRIC.COM

GIVE US A CALL, WE’LL CHECK YOUR SHORTS! replace the E with a stylized plug made from the E

That same year we took home seven awards from California Landscape Contractors Association and three awards by the National Association of Landscape Professionals. Today, these awards remind us that through challenging times, we can adapt and grow.

In fact, we believe there is always opportunity to innovate and do good work.

And we will continue to be here for this community, as you’ve been here for us.

Chris Angelo Chief Executive Officer, Stay Green Inc.

Our passion for quality and service is visible in everything we do.

SANTA CLARITA ADVANCED DENTISTRY

HENRY MAYO NEWHALL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Looking for a reputable dental family? Look no further than Santa Clarita Advanced Dentistry! Established in 1998 by Drs. Allen & Kelly Smudde, this state-of-the-art dental practice offers everything you need in cosmetic, restorative and family dental care. This past May was their 20-year anniversary serving the Santa Clarita Valley! Since their establishment, they have donated over $1 million to the local schools, organizations and community events. They have been voted “Best Dentist” and “Best Teeth Whitening” over the years by The Signal, SCV Living Magazine and The Daily News.

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital has been serving the Santa Clarita Valley for nearly 45 years, and is honored by its selection as the BEST Hospital in Santa Clarita in the 2019 Signal Best Of Reader’s Poll.

Henry Mayo is excited to continue to serve the community in an expanded capacity when its highly anticipated new patient tower opens this fall.

The new patient tower will provide up to 142 additional private patient beds with private bathrooms and ample space for visitors and staff.

Included in the new tower is the new 29-bed Center for Women and Newborns. This addition will provide 22 antepartum/postpartum beds, seven labor and delivery beds, non-clinical furnishings for a calmer feeling, more patient privacy, baby sinks for washing and care of newborn babies, and two dedicated Cesarean Section operating suites.

A new, larger cafeteria with a hotel-quality kitchen and a central atrium to better accommodate the dining and nutritional needs of the hospital’s patients, staff, physicians, volunteers and visitors will also be part of the new patient tower.

Elsewhere, three new medical/surgical units with 30 new medical/surgical beds in each unit will be located on the third, fourth and fifth floors.

Additionally, an expanded laboratory services and materials management services department will be included in the new building.

Finally, on top of the new patient tower is a rooftop helipad with direct access to the Emergency Department, which allows for direct transport of trauma patients to the Emergency Department.

Check Henrymayo.com or follow Henry Mayo on Facebook for news about patient tower grand opening events.

What makes them different? Dentistry has been a true passion and family tradition for the Smuddes. Both Dr. Allen and Dr. Kelly have a long history of dentists and hygienists in their respective families. Dr. Kelly’s family has had a dentist in it for over 100 years! Not only has knowledge been passed down from generation to generation, but Dr. Allen & Dr. Kelly make it a point to invest in their team and in the latest cutting-edge technology and dental techniques, so patients are given the best care and a world-class dental experience.

For more info or to schedule an appointment, call (661) 259-4474 or go to YourValenciaDentist.com.

KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR CHILD’S BACKPACK According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 14,000 children are treated annually for backpack-related injuries.

Danielle Flowers, MD, pediatrician and Assistant Area Medical Director for Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center, encourages parents to pay special attention when choosing backpacks for youths.

Backpacks that are worn incorrectly, not fitted properly or are too heavy, can cause backaches, shoulder pain, poor posture, and neck injuries.

A full backpack should never weigh more than 10-15 percent of a child’s body weight. To put this in perspective, if a child weighs 75 pounds, their backpack should weigh no more than 11 pounds.

Dr. Flowers suggests these additional tips: •

Fit the backpack closely to the body, resting it in the middle of the back.

•

Don’t let the backpack sag. Avoid it falling more than four inches below waistline.

•

Place heavier items closest to the center of the back.

Last minute tips on rolling backpacks: Although some parents may be tempted to purchase a rolling backpack, users tend to overload their rolling backpacks, and if the pack has to be lifted continuously, it can cause wrist and/or shoulder strain.

WE DON’T DO IT FOR THE AWARDS. BUT THEY SURE ARE NICE. Kaiser Permanente is proud to receive "Best Medical Center in the Santa Clarita Valley" from The Signal.

We have a dedicated team of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and specialists, all committed to your health. With a great team like this, it’s no wonder our members thrive. To learn more, visit kp.org/santaclarita.

DR. UNRUH Freedom From Chronic Pain If you are tired of living with chronic pain that just won't seem to go away then it may be time to try Shockwave Therapy. Shockwave Therapy requires no surgery, no medications, no hospital admissions, and no injections.

Shockwave Therapy can be used for: headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, wrist pain, hip pain, back pain, knee pain, or painful heel. Chronic pain is draining; it affects the performance of not only your body but your mind taking the joy out of life. Chronic pain is often caused by inflammation, stiffening, calcification or strain on muscles or tendons.

Shock Wave Therapy is leading the way in pain management. The treatment consists of high-intensity sound waves that interact with the tissues of the body. A high-intensity sound wave interacts with the tissue of the body creating beneficial effects such as reversal of chronic inflammation, the stimulation of collagen and the dissolution of calcium build-up. Stimulation of these biological mechanisms creates an optimal healing environment for your body. As the injured area returns to normalcy, functionality is restored and pain is relieved.

Shockwave Therapy treatment is often quick and painless, taking less than 5 minutes. Most patients experience immediate relief of pain following the treatment with only soreness after. Most conditions require only require 6 sessions over a few weeks depending on the patient's case.

Don't letUnruh.Bestof.071719 your life be ruled by pain!

CALMINSENSE HYPNOTHERAPY Sara R. Fogan, C.Ht., wanted to be a therapist since she was 10 years old. She has always been the person that friends and even friends-of-friends would confide in, the empathetic sounding board and non-judging “ear” that created instant rapport with all those people who just wanted to talk. Hypnotherapy wasn’t even on her radar, Sara says, until that fateful day she met a representative from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in 2004.

“I remember all those ads from the ’70s with Florence Henderson (Mrs. Brady from The Brady Bunch) promoting hypnotherapy, wondering: Why is Mrs. Brady (from The Brady Bunch) talking about that? Back then, I didn’t really believe hypnosis even worked.”

Her initial skepticism (subconscious mental script) was about to change. She didn’t even know hypnotherapy existed as a vocation when she accepted an offer to take a free Hypnosis 101 course at HMI. But by the end of the first class, she knew hypnotherapy was the career she had (subconsciously) been looking for all along.

“There was so much psychology theory in the curriculum,” Sara recalls. “By the time I started at HMI, I already had a Bachelor’s degree and an M.Phil. [Research Master’s degree] in psychology, but even that material was being presented in a different, more immediate way. She credits HMI Founder Dr. John Kappas’s Theory of Mind model and his explanation of how we learn (“suggestibility”) for facilitating her understanding of how and why certain beliefs and behaviors can be so hard to change. “I was able to overcome my fear of driving on freeways by understanding the anxiety in the context of Theory of Mind. And that was even before I was hypnotized!”

Even more significant are Dr. Kappas’s Emotional and Physical Sexual Personality concepts for increasing her understanding of how and why people behave the way they do. “I love explaining how this works to my clients. It really helps people work through and resolve their own challenging beliefs and unwanted behaviors, and to be able to understand why their partner does ‘x’ too,” she says.

In addition to graduating with honors from HMI in 2005, Sara took a year-long course to earn a Master certification in therapeutic guided imagery from the college that year. Imagery is a huge part of her practice, she says, and it is something most of us do every day. “Do you daydream? Fantasize? Make ‘a mental list’ or pretend to have a special skill of your favorite athlete or super-hero? All that is imagery; it is also, to an extent, hypnosis.

You can’t have hypnosis without imagery, and you can’t really do imagery without being in some level of hypnosis.”

Now starting her fifteenth year working as a certified hypnotherapist, Sara is looking forward to helping clients achieve their vocational and avocational self-improvement goals here in Santa Clarita for many years to come.

COMFORT KEEPERS IN-HOME CARE Caring for members of our community and their families for the last 18-plus years has truly been a privilege! Comfort Keepers is the premier provider of in-home care with almost 700 offices across the nation, but locally owned and operated by Myles McNamara. Our goal is to enable seniors to remain safely in the comfort and privacy of their own homes for as long as possible. Often, all that is needed is a helping hand with daily tasks, including but not limited to, meal preparation, medication monitoring, light housekeeping, laundry, transportation (beauty salon, doctors, etc.), grocery shopping, companionship, assistance with bathing/showering, grooming guidance, and recreational activities.

We are also instrumental in lowering the stress for family members who are juggling their own busy lives and work schedules around attending to a loved one’s needs. Our service provides peace of mind knowing these needs and daily activities are being taken care of. It will allow quality time to be spent with loved ones, rather than attending to chores. If falling is a concern, just knowing someone is with them can make all the difference.

Our Comfort Keepers are specially trained for Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Comfort Keepers prides itself in the quality of our compassionate, bonded and insured caregivers, and our mission to treat our clients like a member of our own family. Although our clients are primarily seniors, our services are available for anyone over the age of 18 experiencing difficulties with daily tasks due to illness or injury.

Believing in giving back to the community we serve, McNamara serves on the Foundation Board at Henry Mayo Hospital, and has served as past president of the SCV Senior Center Foundation, which was the fundraising division of our Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center, other leadership roles on various boards and committees, as well as sponsoring special events throughout the year for our local nonprofit organizations. Comfort Keepers has also made available to the community and the family caregiver, free of charge, our Caregiver Skills Lab that is used to train their own Comfort Keepers. Family members are many times thrust into the role of a family caregiver, but have not had the opportunity to have hands-on training that can help ensure the safety of not only the person being cared for, but themselves as well. Please call for more information or for a tour.

Also, tune in to KHTS AM 1220 on the first Tuesday of each month at 11 a.m. as McNamara hosts “Aging with Power,” a show that addresses issues that will empower us to make informed decisions on this journey we call aging. Podcasts of prior shows can be found at www.hometownstation. com. Myles McNamara, owner of Comfort Keepers In-Home Care located at 23900 Lyons Ave. in Newhall, is a certified senior advisor and works professionally with seniors and their families on issues relating to senior independence. He can be reached at (661) 287-4200.

EMBRACE YOUR SMILE Choosing the right orthodontist is an important and challenging endeavor. Often your orthodontic team will be a part of your life for years and even decades! Here are some tips to help you find the right team to help you or your loved ones get the smile they deserve.

“With sincere gratitude and appreciation, thank you Santa Clarita for making Pilates Pros + the best Pilates studio of 2019!”

Difference between an orthodontist and dentist: An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has completed an additional 2-3 years of education beyond dental school. This means they have intensely studied the proper way to align the teeth and jaws utilizing methods that will result in the most esthetic, functional and stable result. Our doctors have trained at the most prestigious institutions in the country and they even teach other clinicians on their techniques.

The next thing to look for is an orthodontist who is board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. A board-certified orthodontist has voluntarily gone through rigorous examinations to demonstrate they have the highest level of clinical skills and knowledge for providing the most excellent level of patient care. Dr. LeCornu and Dr. Weber have gone through this rigorous process to become board certified orthodontists, an honor only given to the top 25 percent of orthodontists.

While these two aspects of choosing the right orthodontist are important, the experience you have with the entire orthodontic team is crucial to ensure you have the best experience and outcome. Our complimentary consultations make it easy to see if we are the right orthodontic team for you.

At this time, they will re-evaluate the fit of your contact lenses and observe if there are changes to the health of your eyes caused by your lenses. They will ensure that you will have a correct, current prescription to help avoid any serious problems, especially if you wear your lenses on an extended or overnight schedule.

Contact lenses are often more complex than they appear. Contact lens wear causes many changes to cells and tissues of the eye, and sometimes wearing contact lenses can damage the cornea (the clear window of the eye). Even if you are currently experiencing no problems, the lenses may be causing damage to your eyes. After the initial exam, the doctors will perform a contact lens exam.

Glasses & Contacts, Today PT OM ET

In one simple word, YES. The Doctors and staff at Corben Optometry believe that having an exam will reduce the potential implications of overuse and abuse of contact lens wear. The Doctors look for signs of damage that, if left untreated, may lead to more severe problems.

These often have no symptoms early on and you may be totally unaware of them.

Once Properly fit, you will be asked to return to have a follow-up visit.

At this time the doctor will check your vision with the contact lenses on, evaluate the fit of the lenses and ensure that the lenses are not irritating your eyes. If there needs to be a change, it is made at this time.

At Corben Optometry the care of your eyes is our most concern when wearing contact lenses, This is why we have a policy that anytime with in the year you are having difficulties with your contact lenses or your vision, you can call the office and be seen as soon as possible to fix the issue. This is included with your initial contact lens fitting fee. If we need to change the brand or power, whatever lenses you have left , we gladly exchange for the new ones. Even if the boxes are open and they were purchased from the office.

CO

Do not allow a company to substitute a different brand or manufacturer than you currently have. While this may be acceptable in some situations, there are differences in the water content and shape between different brands. The correct choice of which lens is right for you should only be made based on examination by your doctor, not over the phone or Internet.

THANK-YOU SANTA CLARITA for choosing us again!

THE BENEFITS OF A STRONG SCHOOL COUNSELING PROGRAM Educators deserve recognition for their hard work as they help to develop the minds and attitudes of tomorrow’s leaders. When offering such gratitude, it’s important that school counselors, who are often the unsung heroes of the educational landscape, receive their due.

Counselors are a support system through which students can manage emotions, navigate social changes and set goals. They work with students individually or in small groups to help them work through difficult issues and get the most out of school.

School counselors also serve as a liaison between the student and parents. They may be the first person a student looks to for advice when trying to work through an issue. However, counselors also may facilitate communication when students are experiencing difficulty discussing challenging subjects with their parents.

In a high school or higher education setting, counselors may help students identify skills, strengths and potential career paths. They can act as advisors and help students choose their courses. Counselors may have experience in various disciplines.

While some counselors may offer psychological counseling, others may specialize in identifying learning disabilities or work in career placement capacities. Counselors generally serve as advocates for students.

They help children adjust to new schools, recognize causes and effects of their behaviors, develop social skills, and navigate the often challenging world of academics.

Award Winning Schools

CREATIVE MARKETING SOLUTIONS, INC. Thank you Santa Clarita for voting Creative Marketing Solutions Best Printing and Graphics two years in a row!

We have grown to include not only graphic and print work but also logo design, photography and green screen video options. Marketing is so very important when building a rapport with those you desire to connect with. If you know who you want to reach, you have to target that approach in a way that will engage you with the right people. It is not a one size fits all plan. We really like to look at the individual needs of the client or business.

Video has become more important than ever in reaching out to people.

You can read something. But when you hear and see it, you connect in a different way. We offer a variety of ways for a business to connect with an audience. We specialize in expanding the exposure of small businesses. This includes Real Estate Professionals, Mortgage companies, Limousine services, Artists, Medical Professionals, Law and CPA firms and many more.

PROTECT VEHICLE PAINT FINISH Perhaps nothing ages a car or truck more than a lackluster exterior finish. Even if vehicles are only a few years old, failure to maintain the paint, tires and chrome accents can make them look worn beyond their years, potentially affecting resale value. The environment can be a vehicle’s worst enemy. Protecting a car means being mindful of substances and habits that can compromise the exterior finish.

Weddings Showers Celebrations

Seek shade Over time, the sun can damage a vehicle’s paint job through oxidation and premature fading. People who live in areas with especially warm climates may see the paint on their vehicles suffer considerable damage thanks to the sun. One of the easiest ways to protect a vehicle from the sun is to use sheltered parking or park in the shade whenever possible.

Paint protection Waxing can prevent bird droppings, berries, splattered bugs, and more from sticking to the paint and wearing down the finish. Waxes come in paste, liquid and spray. Each type has a different reapplication schedule, so drivers should consult the product instructions.

It is important to safeguard the exterior of a vehicle to help it look newer longer, protecting the value of the car or truck while also protecting it against the elements. when they are home.

ESTABLISHING A LEGACY FOR YOUR FAMILY’S FUTURE For an increasing number of parents, the “public school down the street” isn’t the top choice for where their children get their educational start.

“As options expand and parents find that there are campuses that better match their educational and/or faith preferences, they are doing more research before enrolling their child based on their address instead of their desired learning outcomes,” says local education expert and Legacy Christian Academy Head of School Matt Millett.

— a 1:13 teacher student ratio — and accelerated curriculum; incredible enrichment programs instructed by professionals in their field; and intentional Christian character building, parents are excited by all Legacy has to offer.”

“It’s a process that has gained momentum over the years,” shares Tim Borruel, Legacy’s superintendent and co-founder, who has 30 years of experience leading educational movements in Santa Clarita. “Parents realize that the earlier they invest in their child’s education, the bigger the payoff in the future in the form of more college acceptance letters and more scholarships.”

Valencia Acura: More Than a Dealership, It’s a Friendship

By Don and Cheri Fleming Valencia Acura, Santa Clarita’s Friendship Dealership, sincerely thanks all who voted us “Best New Car Dealership” for the 15th year. We appreciate the support and confidence you place in us that allows us to do what we love.

We are so proud to belong to a community cloaked in a culture of caring and defined by people who individually and collectively strive to make a difference. When we opened the doors of Valencia Acura 22 years ago, we knew we had found so much more in Santa Clarita than simply a place to do business. This is our family’s home and our beloved community. We are genuinely and actively involved in the local community in numerous ways — socially, civically and charitably. Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, Child & Family Center, and Soroptimist International are just a few organizations that are near and dear to our hearts.

Valencia Acura customers are not just customers — they are friends. The relationships developed with buyers run deeper than sales. Acura is a luxury car brand, and we work to make the dream of owning one a reality.

Our friendship doesn’t end when a customer drives off the lot. It only continues. The experience extends into the award-winning Service and Parts departments, with its highly-skilled staff earning high marks in industry expertise and training.

On behalf of our entire Valencia Acura team — including the official canine greeters Test Drive (Tessi) and our newest member Turbo — thank you Santa Clarita for voting us the best. We will continue to do our best to live up to your expectations.

Valencia Acura is a local, family-owned and operated car dealership and has been recognized as a prestigious Acura Precision Team Dealership for 13 years and awarded Acura’s Council of Excellence for 15 years. Owners Don and Cheri Fleming can be reached at (661) 255-3000. www.ValenciaAcura.com.

Making Wellness a Priority, Finding a Healthier You Do you find yourself asking “How to get more out of life?” Medical studies have shown the surprising answer is often “Do less.”

Modern lifestyles overflowing with tasks and commitments, days spent running around endlessly trying to get things done and take care of those around us, rob us of energy, focus, and balance. With anxiety, stress, and depression rising to new levels, it is important to take a close look at our personal wellness. Working at the Spa, I see how valuable and effective dedicating time to relaxation is.

It can often slide to the bottom of the list, but making “me time” a priority is vital for our mental and physical health. “Me time” can give us the gas we need to push on in our busy lives and is one of the best ways to make sure we can take good care of others. When a busy mother sets aside a few hours for herself each week, she is not only going to be able to be a happier and better mother, she is also teaching her children that it is important to take care of yourself.

The truth is, everyone needs to relax and unwind frequently. Pushing the “reset” button on your mind can be as simple as letting go of all your thoughts for an hour, closing your eyes and breathing deeply…

Whether for yourself or someone you care about, The Ivy Day Spa Membership is a great way to ensure dedicated “me time” and makes escaping to a quiet, restful place to recharge easy to do almost anytime. Members enjoy easy weekday access to the spa amenities, monthly spa treatments such as massage or facial, plus exclusive perks and specials, all for an amazing value. Best of all, the benefits are cumulative — the more you

SUMMER IN THE GARDEN

by Viola Odorata

It’s summer and it’s time to go out into the garden.

19 0 2

Our gardens bring us revitalization through the beauty of the flowers, the fragrance from the plants, the drone of the insects, the songs of the birds, and activity of the little creatures busy in their daily routines.

The garden pros at Green Thumb Garden Center can offer advise on the steps necessary to reawaken the garden and prepare it for the summer months.

Once the grass is fertilized and the flower and vegetable beds are planted, then it is time to add a little “whimsey” to the garden.

Ponds and fountains, statuary, sundials, wind chimes, and garden flags can create a focal point or compliment a theme in the garden.

Birds will be attracted to the garden by the sound of running water from a fountain.

Tapping into the regenerative forces from your garden is best accomplished by spending time relaxing within its borders.

The Green Thumb Patio Shop features top quality lines of furniture to create a relaxing garden retreat.

Green Thumb Garden Center

Consider a bench for the butterfly garden. For the pool or spa, add a pair of traditional chaise lounges.

Transform Your Garden into Something Wonderful

Gorgeous wrought iron or aluminum dining sets are used inside the home as well as outside, with matching sofas, lounge chairs, gliders, and recliners.

So, do go back into your garden and begin a new season, one filled with beauty, comfort, whimsey, and enjoyment.

Here’s a breakdown of each band performing at Concerts in the Park:

July 7

Wanted, a Bon Jovi tribute band, is first up in the lineup of Concerts in the Park. Based out of Los Angeles, the band is made up of professional musicians.

The rock ’n’ roll group had immense success, playing to sold out venues and garnering rave reviews. Wanted was finally created after numerous requests from agents and promoters who worked with the band on other projects.

DAPPER DAN’S

Keep tires road-worthy for safer driving

Get that vehicle Dapper at Dapper Dan’s …

Making driving more safe can come down to ensuring that the vehicle is in good working order — starting from the ground up. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warns that an average of 200 people die each year in tire-related crashes. In 2016, 733 people across the United States lost their lives in accidents in which tire malfunction was a contributing factor. Roughly 70 percent of single vehicle accidents are tire-related. Taking tire maintenance seriously can greatly reduce the chances of blowouts, accidents and fatalities.

“If you haven’t tried Dapper Dan’s Car Wash on Magic Mountain Parkway, you’re one of only a handful left in the Santa Clarita Valley who haven’t. This place is hopping every time we’ve gone by. Now normally, I would not suggest going to a place that is always busy, but these guys have their system down pat. You’re in and out in about five to 10 minutes and you get to stay in your vehicle the whole time.

“No need to empty out your vehicle or wrangle the kiddos around the parking lot. Just zip through the fully automated wash, pull under the covered vacuum area, grab one of the hoses and quickly vacuum out your vehicle. No setup or tear-down needed, and the vehicles dry spot-free thanks to the special rinse they use. Starting at $8 for a basic wash, it’s really hard to justify standing out in the heat to do it yourself. Dapper Dan’s was just voted the Best Car Wash in Santa Clarita! Do yourself a favor and swing by to see why.”

Maintain the right pressure Caring for tires not only improves safety, but also it extends the life of the tires, saving drivers money as a result.

Michelin Tires says that simply checking the tires’ inflation pressure can make a significant difference in how long tires last. For example, a tire that is consistently 20 percent under-inflated may see its life expectancy reduced by 20 percent.

Check tire tread Tires rely on good tread depth to maintain traction and shed water during wet conditions. AAA recommends checking tread with a visual inspection and with the “quarter test.” Insert a quarter into a tread groove with the top of Washington’s head facing down.

If the top of his head is not visible, the tires have at least 4/32” of tread and are acceptable for continued use. If the top of Washington’s head shows, tires need to be replaced.

Tire function is an important part of maintaining vehicle safety and performance. (MC)

Did you know?

BIG JOHN’S PERFORMANCE It is commonplace for female guests of honor and those attending special events to wear floral corsages. Corsages are a popular feature at proms, graduations, weddings, and big birthday bashes and generally coordinate with gentlemen’s boutonnieres.

The corsage has French origins and actually means “bodice.” “Corsage” was the common term for the top part of a woman’s dress or jacket. Eventually the word “corsage” was used as part of the term bouquet de corsage and represented the flowers women would wear to special events.

Although corsages are now typically placed about the wrist or pinned to the lapel or shoulder of a dress, corsages originally were worn on the hip or at the decolletage. They gradually shifted to other locations, but today requests can be made for wrist, ankle, waist and even hair corsages.

The corsage is generally designed to not only match the attire, but also the personality of the wearer. Favorite flowers are often chosen.

In certain circumstances, groups of people will all wear the same type of flower or corsage to symbolize awareness of convictions to a cause, patriotism or another group effort. (MC)

Big John’s Performance

Big John’s Performance has been servicing Santa Clarita’s automotive needs for 29 years. Prior to the Grand Opening debut in 1990, owners John and Karen Van Deventer, managed local tire shops giving Big John more than 50 years experience.

We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible service including quality work, fair pricing and personal interaction. As a family, we recognize the great blessing of having loyal customers.

Thank you to the great patrons of Santa Clarita for your continued business and we serve you with customized fabrication, tires, wheels, accessories and automotive repair services.

How to set up and stock an outdoor bar Outdoor entertaining encourages homeowners and guests to mingle in the fresh air. Outdoor parties also are usually more informal, which makes cleaning up a lot easier. While food is one of the main considerations for outdoor soirees, hosts and hostesses also must keep beverages in mind. A well-stocked outdoor bar can keep guests in good spirits.

These tips can help ensure everyone stays hydrated and comfortable while having fun.

Find your location The bar should be close enough to the action, but in a spot that is shaded and cool. This will work with the ice and coolers used to keep the beverages and garnishes chilled. Consider a shady spot or an area of the yard that can be covered by a canopy or umbrella.

Make it accessible The bar should be easily accessed by guests. If beverages are self-service, ensure that the bottles and glasses can be reached from all sides. This also helps when people congregate around the bar, leaving another area where others can pop in simply to refresh their drinks. It might make sense to have one main bar as well as a smaller bar cart in another area of the yard.

Invest in quality supplies In addition to a sturdy bar itself (or a table/ counter used for the bar), hosts and hostesses will need other supplies.

Quality coolers can be used to keep ice available and house canned beverages, like soft drinks and beer. A small cooler can be used to chill fruit juices, mixers and the other ingredients for classic mixed drinks.

Liquor also is needed for those who plan to serve adults. Make sure to invest in a variety of products, including whiskey, bourbon, vodka, gin,

rum, and tequila. These liquors are used for the majority of mixed drinks or those served neat or on the rocks. Display the liquor selection on the bar so guests know what is available.

Make it unbreakable Disposable plastic cups are convenient, but not very green or decorative. High-quality, reusable plastic tumblers and goblets can look like glass, but are safer for use outdoors when there’s the risk of dropping items. Certain drinks are traditionally served in specific types of glasses, so it is a good to stock up on various sizes and shapes. Routinely scour the yard for empty cups so they can be washed and refreshed. In addition to alcoholic beverages, offer self-serve dispensers of water, iced tea, lemonade, and other offerings. Ensure kids stay away from adult drinks by setting up their own mini-bar of juice boxes and other kid-friendly beverages. (MC)

We want you to know that we will always strive to make your experience as enjoyable as possible and that your safety, health and comfort are our highest priorities.

Dr. Mower and Dr. Colletta believe that patient comfort and satisfaction should come first. It is with that philosophy that the practice has been able to grow into the premier oral and maxillofacial surgery practice in Santa Clarita Valley.

SCV Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery remains very involved in the community, devoting time and resources to the many athletic and scholarly programs at local schools. We feel that it is very important to support the community that in turn supports us as surgeons.

Dr. Mower and Dr. Colletta are also on staff at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and Providence Holy Cross Medical Center where they perform various emergent and elective procedures throughout the year .
