STOMP THE SMASH HIT RETURNS TO SEGERSTROM CENTER STOMP, the international sensation, is making its triumphant return to Orange County at Segerstrom Center for the Arts October 9 – 14. Single tickets, which start at $20, will go on sale Sunday, September 9 at 10 a.m. PST. Tickets will be available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket savings for 10 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746. The 2 p.m. performance on Saturday, October 13 will include audio description for patrons with visual impairments. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans. STOMP is directed and created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. “After creating new routines for STOMP OUT LOUD in Vegas, [co-creator] Luke Cresswell and I decided it was time to rework elements of our main production, STOMP,” said co-creator Steve McNicholas. “STOMP has evolved a great deal ever since its first incarna-
tion at the Edinburgh Festival. Every reworking has involved losing some pieces and gaining new ones, but has always stayed true to the original premise of the show: to create rhythmic music with instantly recognizable objects, and do it with an eccentric sense of character and humor.” The changes that can now be seen in the tour of STOMP are the biggest since the late 1990s. A new piece “Paint Cans” evolved out of the “Boxes” routine in the Las Vegas show and “Donuts” is a piece that implements huge tractor tire inner tubes, worn around the waist on a bungee cord. For many years, the creators had looked for a STOMP equivalent of the Latin percussion instrument the guiro, a gourd-shaped open-ended instrument with ridges along the side that are rubbed by a wooden stick to create its sound. The climactic trashcan sequence “Bins” has been restructured to include a guiro-like new found instrument: strip-lighting recycling containers. From its beginnings as a street performance in the UK, STOMP has grown into an international sensation over the past 14 years, having performed in more than 350 cities in 36 countries worldwide. STOMP
continues its phenomenal run with the ongoing sell-out OffBroadway production at New York’s Orpheum Theatre, a North American tour and two productions overseas – a London company and a European tour. STOMP, an overwhelming success marked by rave reviews, numerous awards and sellout engagements, is the winner of an Olivier Award for Best Choreography (London’s Tony Award), a New York Obie Award, a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience and a Special Citation from Best Plays. The young performers “make a rhythm out of anything we can get our hands on that makes a sound,” says co-creator/director Luke Cresswell. Stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra; Zippo lighters flip open and close to create a fiery fugue; wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. STOMP uses
everything but conventional percussion instruments – trashcans, tea chests, plastic bags, plungers, boots and hubcaps – to fill the stage with compelling and infectious rhythms. Critics and audiences have raved: “STOMP is as crisp and exuberant as if it had opened yesterday,” says The New York Times. The San Francisco Chronicle declares “STOMP has a beat that just won’t quit!” The Los Angeles Times exclaims: “Electrifying! Triumphs in the infinite variety of the human experience.” “A phenomenal show! Bashing, crashing, smashing, swishing, banging and kicking – a joyous invention!” says the Chicago Tribune.

Keep Your Dog Well Groomed in Summer Heat By Donna Thacker You may argue that your dog is always well groomed, but you should step up the efforts in the summer heat. People tend to shower and groom more in the summer because of the intense heat and your dog deserves the same kind of refreshing grooming during hot weather. He is carrying around a full coat of hair and it is important to keep that hair neat and tangle free. Long Haired Dogs Need Extra Attention Dog owners and groomers will debate the issue of whether shaving a long haired dog will keep them cooler in the summer. Both of my Shih Tzu keeps their long coats all year long but I do step up the grooming during hot weather. Some of the extra grooming comes from the fact that they spend more time outside and get tangled and dirty a lot faster. One of the benefits of my dogs keeping their long coats in the summer is that their skin is protected from the sun and from annoying bees and mosquitos…plus, I really like the way the long hair looks blowing in a breeze. It is also a pride thing for them. Yes, I believe dogs know how they are supposed to look and get upset with a bad haircut just like we do. If your dog has a double coat it is not advisable to shave them, as the hair may not grow back in properly. A double coat actually protects them in the heat or cold or while swimming. A dog with a double coat does take extra grooming as the undercoat needs to be kept tangle free as well
as the longer top coat. Double coated dogs tend to shed more. The extra grooming will remove the loose hair that may mat up and cause a hot spot. Grooming the Sweat Gland Areas A dog has sweat glands in the pads of their paws. You need to keep their paws and the areas between the pads neatly groomed and clean. Long matted hair or dirt between the paw pads can make the dog hotter, much like our shoes and socks make us hotter. You feel much cooler in bare feet and so will your dog. Frequent feet grooming and checks is essential in hot weather. Dogs have other sweat glands throughout their body, so maintaining a clean, tangle free coat is essential to keep the dog cooler on a hot summer’s day. A tangled coat that hides and covers the sweat glands is much like us putting on a sweater, or wrapping in a blanket, on a hot summers day. Extra Grooming Finds Bugs, Bites and Itches The more frequently you groom your dog, the more frequently you can check for fleas, ticks or any other kind of skin irritation that requires attention. Summer is usually a battle with fleas.
The sooner you spot one, the sooner you can take action to get rid of them. It doesn’t take long for a dog to become infested with these biting, disease carrying blood suckers. By stepping up your dog’s grooming in the hot summer weather, you can assure that he is the coolest he can be, and that he has no bugs or skin irritations that could be intensified in the heat. Brush your dog daily and pat attention to anything that moves or jumps. Look to make sure the skin is not red, irritated or to make sure there is no rash that could indicate a flea allergy.
Southbound I-605 / I-405 Connector Slated For Two-Week Closure Construction crews will close the southbound connectors of the San Gabriel River Freeway (I-605) and San Diego Freeway (I-405) beginning at 10 p.m. next Monday, July 30 as part of the West County Connectors project. The two-week closure is required for crews to reconstruct the connector to accommodate the new I-405 / I-605 HOV connector and additional lanes on the I-405. Work includes installing new pavement, realigning the lanes and laying the groundwork for new overhead signage and lights. Construction crews are placing detour signs to help drivers during the closure. The project team recommends drivers take the following routes: From the southbound I-605, exit Spring Street. Continue on Spring Street to Woodruff Avenue and proceed to the southbound I-405 on-ramp From the southbound I-605, exit Spring Street. Continue on Spring Street to Studebaker Road and proceed so the eastbound Page 6
SR-22 on-ramp. Take the eastbound SR22 connector to the southbound I-405 From the southbound I-605, exit Katella Avenue and proceed east. Turn right on Los Alamitos Boulevard/Seal Beach Boulevard and proceed south to the southbound I-405 onramp From the southbound I-605, take the westbound SR-22 connector toward Long Beach. Exit Studebaker Road and proceed south to the eastbound SR-22 on-ramp. Proceed eastbound on the Sr-22 until the freeway transitions to the southbound I-405 Originally scheduled for late 2012, the project team moved up the work on its construction timeline to begin this construction activity prior to the start of the Seal Beach Boulevard bridge reconstruction.
The Newport News
Also, beginning Wednesday, July 25, crews will close the southbound I-405 freeway from Valley View Street to Seal Beach Boulevard for two to three weeks. The closure will take place from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday nights. The $277-million West County Connectors project will improve traffic flow by directly connecting
carpool lanes on I-405, I-605 and SR-22. In addition, a second carpool lane will be constructed on I-405 between SR-22 and I-605.

THE FESTIVAL OF ARTS TO RECEIVE A SPECIAL VISIT FROM JAMES IRVINE SWINDEN OF THE IRVINE MUSEUM, On August 7th and August 9th, the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts “Art Talks” series will explore video and film as an art form, and welcome the president of the Irvine Museum to hear about the evolution of the museum’s collection. On Tuesday August 7th from 12pm1pm, Festival of Arts exhibitor and videographer Rick Graves will lead an expose of the evolution of video arts. Examples of important video work dating back as early as the 1970’s will frame a discussion that will explore the manifold opportunities available to present day video artists, from the fine art scene to commerce. Also joining the discussion will be Martin Betz, director of exhibits for the Festival of Arts, who is well versed in the history of video and film art. Editor Russell Sasaki will lend a post-production perspective. “Video art and filmmaking is wide open right now,” says Graves, who believes that more than any other medium, video is the future of visual art, and who himself developed a custom slit-scan camera that allows him to shoot a continuous frame on a single roll of film. “Video is totally accessible to everyone, from children to seniors. If
you have a story in you, all the technology and opportunity is there to go tell it through video, even with the most modest budget.” On Thursday August 9th from 12pm1pm, James Irvine Swinden, President of the Irvine Museum, will visit the Festival of Arts to discuss the history of The Irvine Museum and how its collection was assembled from the time of its founding in 1992 to the present. Dedicated to the preservation and display of California art of the Impressionist Period (1890-1930), The Irvine Museum is embracing a principal role in the education and furtherance of this beautiful and important regional variant of American Impressionism that has come to be associated with California and its remarkable landscape. As such, as part of his “Art Talks” discourse, Mr. Swinden will also explore the museum’s role as both a community institution and a national presence in the field of California Impressionist painting. Art Talks: A Lecture Series continues throughout the Festival of Arts 2012 season. On Tuesdays, experienced artists take attendees through topics of medium, influences, and current trends; on Thursdays, Orange County’s top
curators, collectors, and conservators lead discussions on issues of buying, appraising, displaying, restoring and conserving fine art. Brown bag lunches from Gina’s will be available for purchase or you can bring your own! Art Talks: A Lecture Series is free with Festival admission. The Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters are sponsored in part by Acura, Cox Communications, Fidelity Investments, KOST Radio 103.5, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, and The
Orange County Register. The Festival of Arts is a non-profit organization that produces The Festival of Arts – California’s Premier Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters. For general information, call (949) 494-1145 or visit the website at www.LagunaFestivalofArts.org. The event is located at 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, California. Proceeds support the arts and art education in and about Laguna Beach.
“CLEAN” CALIFORNIA CUISINE STEPS UP TO THE PLATE AT FESTIVAL OF ARTS COOKING SERIES Nirvana Grille’s “Clean” California Cuisine takes center stage at the Festival of Arts on Sunday, August 5 from 1-2pm when Executive Chef and Owner Lindsay Smith-Rosales shares and demonstrates delicious recipes at the popular “Art of Cooking” Series. Lindsay is the fifth chef to be featured in the weekly event series, highlighting the best of Laguna Beach dining. Born and raised in Laguna Beach, Chef Lindsay has become renowned for her dedication to healthy organic ingredients that delight and engage the senses and continues to frequently receive accolades in the press for her dedication and uncompromised efforts to her food, restaurants and outreach to the community. Founded in 2006 in Mission Viejo, Nirvana Grille is a quaint California Community Kitchen offering fresh, local fare sourced from area growers and purveyors to ensure the highest measure of quality. Named Nirvana to invoke a feeling of harmony in mind, body and spirit, Nirvana Grille focuses on clean, locally sourced food in a setting of casual, relaxed elegance. In 2008, the addition of the busy downtown Laguna Beach restaurant with a full bar, was added to the Nirvana Grille portfolio. “Chef Lindsay has received many awards for her use of fresh and sustainable ingredients,” said Susan Davis, director of special events for the Festival of Arts. “We’re very excited to see what recipes and tips she’ll have for us on Sunday!” Foodies rejoice every Sunday at the Festival of Arts as “Art of Cooking” continues. Every Sunday from 1pm-2pm, this special event series takes place on the Festival of Arts green and is free with Festival admission.

Peggy Goldwater Clay, Lori Irving, Brenda Walters and Barbara Eidson

The night raised an incredible $144,000 for Children’s Bureau’s child abuse prevention programs in Orange County.

than a dozen victims. Other challenges included an oxer-verticaloxer triple combination to which, “had an awkward distance that you had to approach correctly to get through,” noted Cruz. Only five lucky duos were able to answer Cruz’ questions correctly and earn a ticket to the jump-off. Hap Hansen, sitting on his 99th Grand Prix victory, was the first to return in the jump-off and set the stage aboard the almighty Archie Bunker. Hansen was setting up what looked to be that matchless 100th win, but with an unlucky rail Hansen and Archie Bunker finished with four faults in a time of 40.436 seconds. Coming off her win in the $30,000 Red, White and Blue Grand Prix, Brazilian rider Josephina Nor-Lantzman and Chello Z were the next contenders to top the leaderboard. Nor-Lantzman, not being one to hope for the best, knew a fast clean round was in order to secure the win. Knowing her horse’s abilities, Nor-Lantzman piloted Chello Z to a flawless jump-off, bolting through lines and cutting every corner possible to trip the wire in 39.317 seconds. Michelle Parker and Xel
Ha was the third pair to challenge the finalists. Just as it had in the qualifying round, the skinny vertical took another victim and with an additional rail on the final line, Parker and Xel Ha finished with eight faults in a quck time of 36.912 seconds. The rivalry between NorLantzman and Di Landri reemerged as Di Landri galloped into the ring. “I completely changed my jump-off plan after Phina (Josephina) went, “Di Landri laughed. “She was quick, so I knew I had to leave some strides out and go for it. They left the skinny vertical which was risky but Avargo is so good and when you gotta go you gotta go.” Di Landri charged through the track leaving all the rails in the cups, posting a time of 37.355 seconds, shifting Nor-Lantzman to second. Antonio Maurer (MEX) was the final rider to challenge Di Landri’s post. Maurer guided Callao through a swift round but with one unfortunate rail, Maurer would finish with a four fault time of 36.878 seconds, good enough for third place.
The competition escalated this weekend with back to back main events that drew huge crowds, perfect weather and intense competition. The $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby and the $30,000 Ra cing Festival Grand Prix spurred some serious battles between competitors that left the audience on their toes and thirsty for more. The season has developed two rivalries in both the Hunters and Jumpers. Nick Haness was Champion again in the Hunter Derby on Saturday, breaking veteran John French’s win streak aboard the famous Small Affair and young gun Tina Di Landri stole the show by outrunning the fearless Josephina Nor Lanzman in today’s $30,000 Grand Prix jump-off. Thirty six combinations and seven countries showed up today to prove their abilities over the very technical track laid out by Mexican course designer Catzy Cruz. “I wanted to ask the field some questions and see who could answer them,” Cruz commented on the large field of mixed levels of ability and experience. The technical track invited numerous questions including a challenging bending Nick Haness and Gelato in the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby line to a skinny vertical taking more The Newport News

What healthcare reform means to you By Jason Alderman Much was made of the size and complexity of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act when President Obama signed it into law in 2010. But now that the Supreme Court has upheld much of the act’s constitutionality, it’s a good time to review key provisions that have already gone live and to plot out what’s expected to happen in the next two years. Changes already in place include: Children under 19 cannot be denied coverage because of preexisting conditions. Adult children may remain on parents’ medical plan until they turn 26. Lifetime insurance maximum payouts were eliminated. In addition, annual coverage limits are being phased out. Effective September 23, 2012, the annual limit increases to $2 million. All new plans now must provide certain preventive services for free, such as mammograms, immunizations and colonoscopies. People who’ve been refused insurance because of preexisting conditions may now be eligible for coverage through a “high-risk pool” program. Go to https://www.pcip.gov/ for information and to apply online. Medicare Part D participants who Page 16
reach the infamous doughnut hole now receive a 50 percent discount on brand-name prescription drugs – 14 percent on generics. (These discounts will gradually increase until 2020 when the doughnut hole will disappear.) Many core features of the Affordable Care Act won’t take full effect until 2014 and details are still being finalized, but here are highlights of what’s expected to happen between now and then: By August 1, 2012, insurance companies that didn’t spend at least 85 percent of 2011 premium dollars for large group plans (over 50 employees) on medical care must refund the difference, through refund checks or discounted future premiums (80 percent for individual or small group plans). By October 1, 2012, plans must begin adopting rules for the secure electronic exchange of health information – this will reduce paperwork, costs and medical errors. By January 1, 2013, new federal funding will be in place to state Medicaid programs that choose to cover preventive services to patients at little or no cost. By October 1, 2013, states will receive two additional years of fund-
The Newport News
ing to continue coverage for children not eligible for Medicaid. Effective January 1, 2014, most key provisions will be in place. For example: Individuals and those whose employers don’t offer health insurance will be able to buy it directly from state-based Affordable Insurance Exchanges, which will offer a choice of health plans that meet certain benefits and cost standards. Most who can afford basic health coverage will be required to obtain it or pay a fee to offset the costs of caring for uninsured Americans. Americans earning less than 133 percent of the poverty level will be eligible to enroll in Medicaid. Refundable tax credits will be available to those earning between 100 and 400 percent of the poverty level to help pay for affordable insurance. They also may qualify for reduced copayments, coinsurance
and deductibles. Annual coverage dollar amount limits will be prohibited. Adults will no longer be refused coverage due to preexisting conditions. Insurance companies will no longer be able to charge higher rates to individuals and small groups due to gender or health status. These are only a few of the many healthcare changes we’ll see as a result of the Affordable Care Act. To learn more, please visit www.HealthCare.gov.

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.

LUXURY MEETS TECHNOLOGY. Sayuki Custom Cosmetics brings to the marketplace an innovative, original and completely unique concept. Here you will be able to purchase cosmetic products that match your skin color precisely. The High Definition Color Scanner (a specialty machine created by Sayuki) analyzes the skin pigment along the jawline and transmits the information to the custom color blending dispensing machine. The machine then creates a custom combination of pigment colors for foundation concealer or tinted moisturizer that will be unique for each customer and precisely match their skin. Others have tried to offer custom colored cosmetics, but no other company has utilized technology to do so. The blending and dispensing machine is a truly innovative and revolutionary concept in the cosmetic industry and will change the way people buy their make-up. Page 18
“I have worked in the cosmetic industry for more than 15 years and the biggest hurdle women face is finding cosmetic that truly match their skin tone,” says Tracy “Sayuki” Wells, FIDM Graduate and Founder and President of Sayuki Custom Cosmetics. “I am so thrilled to have created a product that I know women want and need. No longer do you have to worry about finding products that match your skin color – that is what we do! It is amazing and you have to see the machine in action to believe it.” Tracy is the daughter of Pat and Larry Igarashi of Coto de Caza FIDM Alumni Relations Manager, Bill Cliatt says, “Sayuki Custom Cosmetics is a truly unique and innovative concept. We are so proud that Tracy has combined her entrepreneurial spirit and extensive cosmetic background to create such an amazing product.”

Sayuki Custom Cosmetics has created a unique Seven Step Beautification Plan for flawless skin using the highest quality products that are customized with the Spectrophotometer and Dispensing Machine to create unique colors for each customer. On July 26, a preview party was attended by family, friends and members of the press. Attendees were offered a sumptious feast of canapes, sushi and yummy gift wrapped cookies. Makeup artists were at the ready to offer guests a full demonstration of the color matching machine. A quick scan of your jaw area yielded the necessary data to transmit to the mixing machine. Within minutes, the perfect color match was calculated and mixed into a one of a kind personalized makeup. “I have boxes of makeup that looked good in the store but didn’t work for me when I got it home. No more! Not only did the makeup achieve a perfect match but the quality of the product is ex-
ceptional,” commented Ruth White, editor of The Coto de Caza News. Once you have your match, it is entered into the computer and you are given a card with your data on it. In the future, your custom match is just a quick phone call away. Talented makeup artists are also available for that perfect application and also may be scheduled for special events. The store itself features a modern design with a color palette that reflects Sayuki’s signature packaging with black walls and pink accents – the sophisticated setting is the perfect backdrop for cosmetics shopping. Sayuki Custom Cosmetics is a unique experience that has to be enjoyed firsthand to believe. For more information about Sayuki Custom Cosmetics and products please visit www.SayukiCustomCosmetics.com.
