EL SEGUNDO HERALD September 10, 2015 Page 13 MLB Chaplain from page 3 a pastor. As a young boy Brandon loved baseball, but in high school his passion turned to golf. On Sundays, as he explains it, he would sit in church and think about golf. He was awarded a Golf scholarship to attend California State University at Long Beach and the first three years of college golf was important to him. “Somewhere in between my Junior and Senior years of college, my faith grew to such an extent that on Sundays I was now playing golf, but thinking about church,” Cash said. “It was as though God was tapping me on the shoulder, very subtly at first, and pushing me in a direction I didn’t expect. “I applied to Biola University and their seminary, Talbot School of Theology, and in the fall of 1995 I began my training to be pastor. One of my professors was Dr. Joe Hellerman and at that time (1995) he was the co-pastor of the Oceanside Christian Fellowship (OCF) in El Segundo. Dr. Hellerman was one of my mentors and when I was graduating he suggested I apply for a job in family ministry at the church he led. And, I have not looked back.” This full-time pastor shepherds his church on a daily basis and leads his family at home. He married his wife, Courtney, in 1997, and they are raising four children, three girls and a boy, ranging in age from 16 to seven years old. His upbringing in a Baptist denomination was more legalistic than the Evangelical Free tradition of OCF, but the orthodox Christian values are the same. In the fall of 2000 his role at OCF changed when Duke Winser, the founding pastor of OCF, resigned. “My days are busy with meetings at the church. Our regular attendance is about 750 on any given Sunday, when you include children and high school and middle school students. Our staff includes a few administrative assistants, three directors, two full-time pastors, and three part-time pastors. There is always something being planned for the future. We are working on our ‘regular’ Sunday weekly service, and some kind of special service like baptisms, weddings, and funerals. Leading a church, teaching Bible studies, overseeing programs and services is a full-time job. But when the opportunity came along to be the chaplain for the Los Angeles Dodgers, my fellow pastors and I saw it as an exciting opportunity for our church, as well. “My Chaplain duties didn’t start out with the Dodgers. Actually, a few years before, a church member, who had been with the Edmonton Oilers, joined the Los Angeles Kings organization. He asked me if I’d be interested in helping out with a Bible study with some of the hockey guys. So, for a few years, Peter Miller and I led a Bible study for some hockey players. And then Baseball Chapel, a ministry that appoints chapel leaders throughout Major (and Minor) League Baseball, contacted me about leading chapel services for the Dodgers. I began working with the team in 2011.” Sunday chapel services for both the Dodgers and the visiting team and a weekly Bible study with the players while they are “at home” in Los Angeles is a regular routine. On occasion, Brandon travels with the team to an “away series” so he can be an encouragement on the road while the players are away from their families. “My ‘roster’ of players/prayers (read: “pray-ers”) usually includes Clayton Kershaw, Adrian Gonzalez, A.J. Ellis, and Scott Van Slyke. Not only are they brothers-in-Christ, but I’d count them as good friends, too. Courtney and I try to build relationships with the whole family, be there to help and encourage them in any way we can. I don’t only serve the team’s Christians, though. I am available to any and all of the players, the coaches, the trainers, or whomever is in need of a listening ear. “I believe God’s plan for me included working with sports figures. I am a fanatic for God, but also a fan of baseball. So, combining the two has been a wonderful joy,” concluded Brandon Cash. Making it on base, hitting homeruns or pitching No-Hitters are not out of the question on a baseball field. Every season each team strives for a winning season, to win the pennant, or even the World Series. But with Chaplain Brandon Cash on the spiritual mound for them, the Los Angeles Dodgers win on a totally different playing field. • “Unless you have the proper legal documents in place, once your child turns 18, you no longer have access to their health information or academic information and most importantly, you do not have the legal right to make medical decisions on their behalf.” School Spotlight from page 3 them know to keep a look out for garden veggies in the salad bar.” “Most kids never see where the food they eat comes from. So by helping in the garden, they get to see just how food grows and what it looks like before it arrives to their plates. Most kids have no idea how brussel sprouts grow or how long it takes for oranges to come to full size, ripen and be ready to be eaten. The main objective I hope students learn is where their food come from and having an appreciation for a garden.” For those of you in the community interested in helping grow the garden they are in need of a few items: potting soil for seed starters so that the kids can plant the seeds in old school milk cartons and begin growing them in the Legal Aid for Elders Preparing for College? Include Legal Documents and Important Discussions By R. Christine Brown, southbayelderlaw.com Unless you have the proper legal documents in place, once your child turns 18, you no longer have access to their health information or academic information and most importantly, you do not have the legal right to make medical decisions on their behalf. Preparing these documents before your child leaves for college is more important than furnishing a dorm room. Preparing to send a child away to college for the first time is exciting, but there are serious issues to consider. A recent article from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “How to prepare for kid going off to college” addresses issues concerning healthcare and credit card finances. Health care: When a child turns 18, you are able to continue to keep him/her on your insurance plan, but they’re considered a legal adult under HIPAA as far as disclosing health information. As a parent, you’re no longer legally permitted to access their health information when they go off to college and get sick or if they’re in a car accident and in the hospital. Because of the HIPAA restrictions, you should have an estateplanning attorney draw up a health-care power of attorney which names a parent or parents as their health-care agent. That way you can speak to healthcare professionals on their behalf if they are incapacitated, and you can obtain their medical information. Have a conversation with your child about the changes that happen when they become an adult and how a health-care power of attorney will protect them. Keep a copy of the document at home and have your son or daughter keep a copy at school. Scan it as well so you have it in electronic format to email to a physician or to an ER if needed. Credit cards: Anyone under 21 applying for a credit card must have an independent source of funds to pay the bills, so that’s good news for parents. Many college freshmen use credit cards cosigned by parents. Parents should sign up for mobile alerts to monitor their student’s expenses, and talk to them about budgeting. If your child goes on a shopping spree and there are payment issues, your credit is going to take a hit. You can avoid this by paying the bills yourself and having your kid reimburse you for his or her expenses each month. You can also go with a debit card instead of a credit card. When the money is gone, it’s gone. Another option is to add your child as an authorized user on your account so that he will have his own card and start to build a credit history. However, you’re the one managing the account. While you’re thinking about all of these important issues, you also should take the time to review your estate planning now that your son or daughter is an adult and possibly is no longer living at home. Talk to your estate planning attorney about some of the common changes people consider at this point in the life of a family.

Dr. Plotkin, Principal of ESMS, sums up the garden best: “Our new vegetable garden helps us work toward the ideal of learning throughout the campus, and not just within the four walls of the classroom. We’re able to incorporate principles of health and nutrition, sustainability, and caring for our environment when we plant, cultivate, and ultimately feed our students from the garden. It’s a first step, and we are planning to expand the project.” • yOU CaN fax yOUr fILEd fOrm TO 310-322-2787 ThE PUBLIShINg COST IS $75 fOr mOrE dETaILEd INfOrmaTION CaLL 310-322-1830 PUBLIC NOTICES Fictitious Business Name Statement 2015217250 The following person(s) is (are) doing business as FEED THE SOUL, 3650 EMERALD ST X-2, TORRANCE, CA 90503-3522, LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
