Nick Haness Pilots Skyhawk and Cosmeo to the Top Two Prizes in the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby
Nick Haness with Skyhawk and Cosmeo with Laura Wasserman, Melissa Brandes and Archie Cox Photos by Captured Moment Friday morning, the Showpark Ranch & Coast Classic kicked off with 25 high performance hunters galloping on the grass in the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby. The class culminated with a double win for owner Laura Wasserman and rider Nick Haness, with champion honors going to Skyhawk and second place to Cosmeo. After picking up both first and second in the classic round, aboard Skyhawk and Cosmeo respectively, Haness maintained his lead with solid second round scores for the one-two victory. Two panels judged the class, the first Jimmy Lee and Jimmy Clapperton and the second Don Stewart Jr. (on his birthday nonetheless!) and Katherine Griffiths. The course, designed by Thomas Hern of Plymouth, Massachusetts, included two high options, a single oxer on a hill, and a delicate two-stride combination. For those who advanced to the handy round, another two high options and a hand gallop played a role in the scoring. Taking both higher options and tight inside turns, Haness used the track to his advantage, earning handy scores of 9 from each judging Page 4
panel, which secured his lead. With Skyhawk’s Derby rider, John French, on the injury list, Haness just stepped into the role this week. He has watched and competed against the talented gelding in numerous derbies. “I’m sorry John is hurt and wish him a speedy recovery,” said Haness. “Skyhawk is lovely to ride. He’s very brave and today I could feel that he was in it to win it.” Along with ribbons and a USHJA cooler and halter, the pair was awarded a pair of Roeckl Sports riding gloves and an EquiFit hunter girth. Sponsored awards also went out to many of the riders and contributors to recognize their outstanding performances. Laura Wasserman received the Balmoral Winning Owner Award, and trainer Archie Cox was the Blue Ribbon Blankets Winning Trainer. Rider Augusta Iwasaki earned the The Plaid Horse Highest Scoring Junior Rider Award, with two rides in the top twelve and a fourth place finish aboard Vanderpump. Megan Kerpsack took home the One K Helmets Highest Scoring Amateur Rider Award on her mount Calandra. Sergio Macias Valdez was

Sweethearts Tree Symbolizes the Heart of Ladera Ranch Known by Many Names,Ladera Ranch Oak Provides Romantic Inspiration
When the Rancho Mission Viejo developers were landscaping the new development of Ladera Ranch, they skillfully removed a hundredyear-old Spanish Oak tree which was nearly a mile away, with bulldozers and heavy equipment, they dug carefully and deeply to preserve the root structure, and with help of botanical experts, placed it in a huge custom-made crate and moved it to a prominent spot that would one day become the Town Green at First and Mercantile at the entryway to Ladera Ranch. The splendid tree was an enchanting sight to visitors at the new home sales office. Young lovers from all over Ladera Ranch and surrounding communities have derived romantic inspiration from the massive oak tree for more than two decades. Its admirers are always eager to point out the romantic symbolism embraced deep within the massive branches of the Ladera Ranch oak tree. Known by some as the “sweethearts tree”, the old Ladera Ranch oak tree is known by many names and loved by all of Ladera Ranch residents. Janet Fransila, Ladera Ranch resident, who calls the tree “big
deb”,perhaps summed it up best by writing “I walked around Town Green ,As I walked along the diagonal path, leading from the gazebo up to the tree I looked up at her and saw something that was quite astonishing that I had never noticed in the thousands of times that I had circled her. Right at the center of (the tree’s) main trunk is a fascinating illusion. You have to stand in a specific spot to see it, but there it is ,a beautiful and slightly elongated shape of a heart! My own heart skipped a beat.” Fransila goes on to say” No matter where you live in Ladera Ranch, you’ve likely had the pleasure of visiting the park at Town Green. Since moving from Vancouver, Canada to Ladera in 2002, I have loved that park, and I visit every day to walk my dog. The beautiful grounds are perfectly manicured and create a serene oasis in the midst of our township. Like anchor in the community the oak tree is surrounded by a circular black wrought iron fence. Able to see her from my kitchen window that massive old oak tree has come to mean so much to me.” Ladera Ranch News readers often comment on the historical

WHW Celebrates 25th Anniversary; Raises Over $225,000 At Annual Luncheon And Fashion Show Photos by Kait McKay Nonprofit WHW, hosted 370 supporters, volunteers and community members to celebrate 25 iconic years of “empowering employment success” and raised more than $225,000 during its Annual Luncheon and Fashion Show at the Pasea Hotel & Spa in Huntington Beach.. With the theme of “old Hollywood” style and elegance, the event featured silent and live auctions, a gourmet luncheon, an inspiring presentation from a WHW job seeker and a movie-inspired, “black and white” fashion show with fashions from WHW’s retail store, Deja New, which supports WHW with all income directly helping to provide services for WHW job seekers. WHW provides the unemployed and underemployed the skills and resources they need to get and keep a good job. The program was kicked off by the event chair Karen Conlon, WHW Board Chair Kyle Rowen and WHW CEO Janie Best. WHW client Kimberly Watson also spoke and shared her story. Guests enjoyed an outdoor, ocean-view reception with martini drinks sponsored by Spa Girls Cocktails. Specialty cocktails included The Marilyn Monroe (Spa Girl Pear Vodka Martini Straight Up), The Cary Grant (Spa Girl Cucumber Vodka Martini Straight Up) and The Hollywood (Spa Girl Cucumber Vodka Martini with Lime Juice and Simple Syrup). Within the ballroom, a three-course lunch was served including a grilled iceberg wedge salad (cherry tomatoes, chives, bacon, gorgonzola and toasted walnut cream); broiled spring chicken and potato au gratin or vegan wild mushroom risotto with asparagus ragout for vegetarians; and panna cotta (shortbread cookie, vanilla panna cotta, mango-pineapple compote) for dessert. Live auction items included an Angels Baseball package of four field MVP tickets and VIP parking to a 2018 home game with four passes to view batting practice prior to the game; two suite tickets to the Shakira concert at the Honda Center on August 31, 2018 and two tickets to the Hall & Oates concert on May 6, 2018 with all-inclusive food and beverages for both events; a stay at a six-bedroom, six-bathroom private villa in Los Cabos in a private, gated community with a pool and spa for seven nights; and a Maserati weekend including three days and two nights use of a Maserati donated by Maserati of Newport Beach. The package also includes a two-night stay in an Island Room at the Fashion Island Hotel and a $100 gift card to Five Crowns Restaurant in Corona del Mar. The silent auction included 100 items such as a one-night stay at the Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage and a two-night, ocean-view stay at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes. “WHW is absolutely thrilled that our annual luncheon and fashion show raised over $225,000 to support the employment readiness programs offered at WHW!” said WHW CEO Janie Best. “Due to the generosity of many, many sponsors and donors, over 80% of WHW job seekers will get and keep a good job. And that’s the best part of the whole day.” At WHW, 91 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to programs and services, more than 80% of job seekers obtain a job within three months and 90% of those keep that job, which increases their household income by over 300%.

Lyndon B. Johnson’s Texas Getaway Ranch!
American presidents seem to have more than one thing in common: they need to get away and escape from the pressure. The ones from Texas have a penchant for ranches, the more cosmopolitan ones like to travel and the ones who come into the presidency with wealth of their own tend to seek out more elegant retreats - and it helps if you happen to own the best of them. Playing golf has always been a popular presidential stress reliever, for after all, isn’t it more socially acceptable to knock the bejeezus out of a ball than the most obnoxious member of the opposing political party? Taking the time to look back in history can produce interesting facts that bring balance to today’s political chaos. Many past presidential terms were steeped in controversy, and Lyndon B. Johnson, who rose from rural Texas high school teacher to 36th President of the United States after the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, was no exception. While Johnson’s Great Society initiatives included major civil rights accomplishments, anti-poverty programs and Medicare, his particular onus was the Vietnam War. Johnson was hounded by the press who he felt had started to question him not
Page 16
as reporters but as prosecutorial lawyers; students were rioting in the streets and he caught flack from every quadrant on almost every move. Johnson surprised almost everyone when he refused to run for reelection in 1968 paving a path for the presidency of Richard Nixon. One week after the assassination of JFK, Johnson purchased 800 acres outside of Johnson City, Texas with spectacular views. Even though his main home was a 330-acre ranch on the Pedernales River in central Texas, which he purchased from his aunt in 1951 while still a senator, his new ranch was intended as a getaway that would insulate him from the press and the pressures of Washington, D.C. His first ranch was where he met with political leaders and world dignitaries, but he laid down the law that there would be no work and no visitors invited to his newly acquired ranch. Now for sale by the artist and his family who currently own the farm, now downsized to 142 acres, the main three-bedroom home is on a hilltop with 360-degree views from its 1,800-foot elevation. The 2,840-square-foot house is finished in stone and cedar and has been
The Ladera Ranch News
updated to today’s expectations, enjoys the atmosphere provided by multiple fireplaces and has numerous terraces and porches for outdoor living and taking in the views. One porch has an outdoor shower. Other structures on the ranch include the former presidential airplane hangar which has been turned into a gallery and event venue and the original 1,140-square-foot ranch house from the LBJ years. The listing agent is Dave Murray of DMTX Realty in
association with Coldwell Banker United, Austin, Texas. Own a piece of presidential history where LBJ escaped the pressures of the presidency and the press he so rigorously scorned while in office. His former Johnson City, Texas ranch is now for sale asking $2.8 million. For More Information TopTenRealEstateDeals.com. Source: dmtx.com
