Traditions of the Annual Kentucky Derby Kentucky has been home to horse racing of one kind or another since the late 1700’s. When the Kentucky Derby first began in 1875, America had not yet discovered the automobile. Horse-and-buggy was the popular mode of transportation. Today, the Kentucky Derby is the longest running sporting event in America. Along the way, traditions developed that give the race its own unique flavor. Every year thousands of people attend the annual “run for the roses” held at Churchill Downs while millions of others sit glued to their television sets. Kentucky Derby Tradition #1: Fashionable Hats

To attend the Kentucky Derby, it is traditional for women to wear hats the more outlandish the better. This tradition is a throw-back to England’s Royal Ascot traditions as embodied

arrangement. It began in 1896 with an arrangement of pink and white roses being presented to the year’s winner. In 1904 the roses’ official color became red and current garland arrangement was adopted in 1932. In 1925, a columnist tagged the race “The Run for the Roses” and it has been referred to as such ever since. Kentucky Derby Tradition #4: Waiting for the Next Triple Crown Winner With the Kentucky Derby being the first of three races in the Triple Crown series, high hopes are on the winner of this race. Only 11 horses The Mint Julep has been the have succeeded in winning the Triple traditional beverage of the Kentucky Derby for nearly 100 years. A mixture of 2 cups water and 2 cups of sugar heated to boiling for 5 minutes. Add 6-8 sprigs of fresh mint and refrigerate, covered, overnight. Mix one tablespoon of the mint syrup with 2 shots of your favorite Kentucky bourbon and pour over crushed ice. Add a fresh mint leaf for garnish. Now you’re ready to watch the race. Kentucky Derby Tradition #3: The Garland of Roses Winning the Kentucky Derby entitles the winner to the now infamous floral by Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Wide-brimmed, gaudily adorned, the hats are a mainstay of the race. Kentucky Derby Tradition #2: The Mint Julep

Crown while 45 have won 2 out of the 3. Of those 45, a scant 21 actually won the first two races, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, making them viable contenders to go all the way only to lose the final race, the Belmont. Horseracing is full of time-honored traditions and the Kentucky Derby exemplifies the best of these. Being fortunate enough to attend the race entails carrying out these traditions and enjoying your Kentucky Derby race day to the fullest. Hats on, mint julep in hand and.....They’re OFF!

Elks Red Hot Chili Cook- Off

By Andy Costello Photos by Mike Klinger Mission Viejo. If you were anywhere near Mission Viejo on Saturday afternoon and were puzzled by the wonderful aroma of simmering onions, chopped garlic and hot chilies filling the air, the delightful fragrance was wafting from the backyard of the Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge. Nine cooking teams competed for medals and bragging rights in the Lodge’s annual Chili Cook-Off. The well attended event for members and guests was again a big success and raised funds for Elks Charities. Teams competing this year were: Sven Akesson and his team cooking Vietnam Vets Jungle Chili, Dave and Kim Perry cooking Dutch Oven Chili, Dennis Boelts, John Feitz, and Kevin Lindley with their Hi-Octane, PER Dave McLeod and Exalted Ruler Mike Klinger cooking Two Amigos, John Mathers, cooking Fabulous Shrimp Chili, Roger Dietterle and his Albino Chili, Gary Schmitt cooking Buffalo Hot Chili, Dennis Lumley cooking Molly’s Magnificent Chili, and Tom Hass, Steve & Barbara Darke, and Chuck & Jean Chapman cooking Run-A-Ways Sole Cleaner Chili. A sea of white canopies provided the shade on the Elks patio, and the warm sunny afternoon provided the perfect venue for the event. Members and guests filled picnic tables enjoying cooked-to-order burgers & hot dogs along with their favorite beverage. They tasted chili samples and enjoyed the music of DJ Roy Southerland. Then the time came for the arrival of the big red fire truck from Mission Viejo Station Engine 24. Luckily on this Saturday afternoon, the usually busy Firefighters & Paramedics of Station 24 had just enough of a break between calls to make their annual stop at the Lodge to judge the waiting chili entries. Orange County Fire Authority Capt Rich Sandford,

Alex Swanson, and Paramedics Mike Curtis and Oscar Avila did this year’s honors. The Engine 24 chili experts tasted the nine entries along with plenty of ice water to put out the fires in their mouths between spoonfuls. Meanwhile, members and guests finished their samplings and cast their ballots for the People’s Choice Award. The moment of truth arrived and the firefighters were center stage as event Chairman Andy Costello announced the winners of the Bronze, Silver and Gold medals and the People’s Choice award. Exalted Ruler Mike Klinger presented the Sven Akesson & his team of Vietnam Vets Jungle Chili cookers Bronze medal to Tom Haas, Steve Darke and Chuck & Jean Chapman for their Run-A-Ways Sole Cleaner Chili. The Silver Medal went to Dave& Kim Perry for their Dutch Oven Chili, and the Gold Medal went to repeat winner Dave McLeod and ER Mike Klinger for their Two Amigos Chili. The People’s Choice award also went to Two Amigos Chili. Chairman Costello thanked all who participated on cooking teams and those who helped with the setup and cleanup. They included: Jack& Sandy Jacobs, PER Mike and Vicky Long, Temple Liebmann, Larry Colgan, Chuck & Jean Chapman, Past Exalted Ruler Dave McLeod & Exalted Ruler Mike Klinger, of Two Sven Akesson, PER Dave McLeod, Amigos Chili took home two awards - winners of both Gold Medal and ER Mike Klinger & Judy, Tom Haas, People’s Choice judging. Lodge Secretary Laura Lumley, Lodge Innerguard Steve Cagnacci& Barbara Coppola, Gail Patti, Mary Ann Costello, Ken Eilers, Harvey Ohman, and Pam Mackay. Lodge #2444 is celebrating 49 years of service to Saddleback Valley Communities. It is one of 8 lodges in the Orange Coast District of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) whose headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois.

From floor to fixtures: Top spring home decor trends add style and personality Spring is in the air, which means it’s time to refresh your indoor spaces to reflect the energy and optimism of the season. The top home decor trends of spring 2014 take a fresh approach to traditional design elements to create an aesthetic that is fresh and full of life. Best yet, the trends are easily accessible, so anyone can update their space with a few simple tips. Carpet More homeowners are seeking the beauty, comfort and safety that carpet provides, making it a top flooring trend for spring 2014 and beyond. What types of carpet are popular?“New soft fibers,” says Vickie Gilstrap, director of design services for The Dixie Group, a top U.S. carpet manufacturer. “Consumers went away from wall-to-wall carpet, as hard surface flooring gained in popularity. Then, people began to miss the softness and warmth of carpet. Carpet absorbs sound, making homes quieter, and traps dust at the base of the carpet fibers so that dust doesn’t circulate in the room air.The soft fibers give us a reason to put carpet down again.” She is also seeing increased interest in “mixed-media” carpet styles - with hi-lustre and low-lustre yarns used in the same carpet. Additionally, patterns are being featured on top of texture, giving a multi-dimensional appearance to flooring. Not only stylish, carpet is healthy,

too. People with allergies or other sensitivities can choose carpet as a way to improve indoor air quality. A recent study supports previous findings that carpet, when effectively cleaned, traps allergens and other particles, resulting in less dust, dander and airborne contaminants escaping into the air. For more information, visit the Carpet and Rug Institute at www.carpet-rug.org. Color Thoughtful use of color in home design is a top trend for 2014. “Colors are getting warmer,” notes Gilstrap. “Taupe is the bridge color taking us from gray to browner tones. Warm pinks are returning, as well as warmer greens like moss and olive - even apple.” Keep in mind adding personality to a space through use of warm color doesn’t necessarily require a complete interior overhaul. Consider incorporating spring colors using accent pieces. It’s easy to switch up pillows, throws or artwork without investing a lot of time or money. Plus it’s a fun way to update the personality of your favorite spaces every season. Texture and pattern This spring, more homeowners are using textures and patterns to make a visual statement through design. Strategic use of texture and patterns can highlight certain interior spaces, manipulate the light within the room and influence scale. Blending both adds visual interest and helps homeowners create a unique space to call their own. “Layering of pattern and texture - in floors, walls, upholstery, window treatments - gives a more individualized feel,” says Gilstrap. Scared of mixing patterns and textures? She suggests placing patterns on stairs or in hallways. If

big and bold patterns aren’t your taste, consider sticking to small, neutral patterns that can be a subtle way to add visual interest and design complexity to interior spaces. Lighting Lighting plays an important twopronged role: it makes a space functional and also helps define its design aesthetic. Adjusting the task lighting within a room can instantly make the space more livable and highlight the design motif. Another easy lighting update is purchasing new lamps or simply adding new shades to existing lamps - a great way to refresh a space with minimal cost. Keep in mind, when selecting fixtures, there’s no longer a need to avoid gold tones. “Gold is coming back- we are seeing more gold and copper and less silver,” says Gilstrap. Want to really redefine your home’s lighting? Ornamental lighting is big this year with designers thinking outside the box when it comes to how and where these fixtures can be used. For example, dramatic chandeliers are no longer reserved for formal spaces such as the dining room or foyer. This spring, you can add a touch of elegance to any space by adding a stylish chandelier, plus it doesn’t take up much design real estate space. Bedrooms, basements and bars are just a few unique areas where chandeliers can be featured. - (BPT)

The Kentucky Derby, presented by Woodford Reserve, is a top rank, Grade I stakes race for 3 year old Thoroughbred horses. The race distance is one and one-quarter miles long, and it is run on the dirt racetrack at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Colts and geldings in the race carry 126 pounds (57 kg), and fillies in the race carry 121 pounds (55 kg). 20 horses compete in the Kentucky Derby, which is a larger field size than most horse races; where on average 8 horses race against one another. The 20 horses racing in the Kentucky Derby must first travel along the Road to the Kentucky Derby, which is a series of 35 races taking place at tracks across the country and the world. Points are awarded to the top 4 horses that finish in each of those 35 races, and the 20 horses with the most points earn a spot in the starting gate in the Kentucky Derby race. The Kentucky Derby winning purse is $2 million. The Kentucky Derby takes place on the first Saturday in May every year, and typically draws a crowd of 155,000 people. It is the longest continually held sporting event in America, and it is one of the

most prestigious horse races in the world. Often called “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports”, the Kentucky Derby receives this nickname from the approximate

length of time it takes the winner to run from the starting gate to the finish line. The Kentucky Derby is the first race within the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred

Racing, where it is followed by the Preakness Stakes race and the Belmont Stakes race. For more information go to www. kentuckyderby.com

5 parent tips for picking the right video games

Armed with new game consoles and mobile devices, plus a pocket full of gift cards, kids everywhere are hoping to add a few new video games to their library with some fun post-holiday shopping. With so many choices, parents can sometimes feel a little overwhelmed trying to decide which games are appropriate for their children to play. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), the non-profit organization that assigns age and content ratings for video games, is an excellent resource for helping parents navigate both the real and virtual game aisles. The familiar ESRB ratings including E (Everyone), T (Teen) or M (Mature) are now also assigned to downloadable games and apps in Google Play, Microsoft’s Xbox Live store, Nintendo eShop and the PlayStation Store. ESRB offers the following tips for parents looking for the console games or mobile apps that are perfectly suited to their family: 1. Check the rating. Start with the recommended age rating. ESRB assigns E (Everyone), E10+ (Everyone 10 and older), T (Teen), M (Mature) and AO (Adults Only), which are clearly labeled on video game boxes or on the game’s page prior to downloading from an online

or mobile storefront. 2. Review the content descriptors. ESRB uses about 30 different content descriptors for depictions involving violence, suggestive or sexual themes, language, controlled substances and other types of content to help parents understand what may have triggered a particular age rating. 3. Look for interactive elements. Interactive elements describe certain aspects of a game or app that may be of interest to many parents and consumers, and can be assigned to downloadable games and apps. These include the sharing of the user’s location, if the game or app enables the purchase of digital goods, if users can interact and/ or if unrestricted internet access is provided. 4. Set parental controls. Today’s gaming devices have parental controls built in, which allow parents to block titles by age rating, ensuring children can access only age-appropriate games and apps. Depending on the device, parents can also control specific features like with whom their children can play online and whether in-game purchases can be made. Just make sure you never reveal your password or PIN! 5. Do your research. Check ESRB rating summaries at ESRB.org, which

provide a more detailed explanation of content in many packaged games. Forget to check the rating summary before you set out on a gift-getting expedition? No problem - you can find rating summaries for packaged games on the ESRB app as well! If you still want more information, online reviews are another great resource. These often include screenshots, videos and other details that parents may find helpful in making a final purchase decision. You can also always talk to your local video game retailers - they’re often staffed with experienced gamers who can help guide parents toward the right games

for their family. For downloadable games and apps, parents may want to review the details on the product’s page and some of the user reviews before downloading. Perhaps most importantly, have fun! If you’re not already a gamer, try it - you might like it! Not only is it a great way to bond with your children, it allows you to share and better understand one of their passions. Never underestimate the value of playing as a family; enjoying games together enables you to engage in an ongoing conversation with your children about the games they want and love to play. - (BPT)

Kentucky Derby 2018 | Seeing celebrities is an old Derby Day tradition One of the first celebrity sightings dates to 1877 when famed Polish actress Helena Modjeska attended the third running of the Kentucky Derby. In the 1945 book, Down the Stretch, it was noted that Modjeska was impressed by the Kentucky Derby but even more charmed by the mint julep to which she was introduced by Churchill Downs founder M. Lewis Clark following the race. Over the years, a stream of celebrities from film, television, music, sports, politics, publishing, fashion and corporate America have been drawn to the Kentucky Derby. On at least one occasion, a celebrity with a more notorious background was the talk of the Derby. The 15th renewal in 1889 brought bank and train robber Frank James to Louisville. The brother of famed outlaw Jesse James and a leader in their outlaw gang, Frank was on hand to watch Spokane take the victory over favored Proctor Knott. In 2007, Churchill Downs initiated a new Kentucky Derby tradition with a celebrity focus by creating a special Red Carpet entrance for VIP attendees and their guests. Kentucky Derby broadcast partner NBC provided televised coverage of the Derby Red Carpet arrivals, giving fans around the globe a chance to see the rich and famous make their way into the world’s most legendary racetrack. Royalty As a direct descendent of England’s Epsom Derby, Churchill Downs’ Kentucky Derby has played host to British Royalty on four different occasions. In 1930, Edward George Villiers Stanley, the 17th Earl of Derby, from whose family name the term “Derby” was derived, became the first English nobleman to attend. Prohibition was in effect at the time and Lord Derby stated his disappointment in not being able to sample a mint julep. “You have a great many advantages I should like to copy for England,” Derby said, “but prohibition is not one of them.”

The Earl of Derby was followed in 1951 by the Duke of Windsor, who had renounced the British throne in 1936 so he could wed the American divorcee Wallace Simpson. The 100th running of the Kentucky Derby in 1974 brought Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret and her husband Lord Snowden. Princess Margaret, the sister of the Queen of England, took part in the trophy presentation and awarded winning owner John Olin a specially crafted trophy for the milestone victory. In 2007, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip attended the 133rd Kentucky Derby and watched Street Sense win the “Run for the Roses.” Her Majesty, who wore a lime green wool coat with a matching silk dress and lime green hat with fuchsia trim, arrived two hours before the Kentucky Derby and enjoyed a view of the race and the spectacle surrounding it from a table in Churchill Downs’ Stakes Room, located within the fourth-floor clubhouse. U.S. Presidents Seven politicians who have gone

on to become president of the United State have watched the classic race and witnessed the electricity and excitement of the Kentucky Derby. Harry S. Truman was reported as the first and was followed in 1952 by Lyndon Johnson who attended while a Texas senator. Richard M. Nixon is the only president to have attended while already serving in office. He visited in 1968 as guest of Kentucky Governor Louie B. Nunn and commented that if he were elected president he would return to the 1969 Derby. 1969 also attracted two future presidents, Gerald R. Ford and Ronald Reagan. No other president has witnessed more Kentucky Derbys than Ford. Beginning in 1977, Ford and his wife Betty attended almost every Kentucky Derby for 10 years as guests of longtime friend John Galbreath, a former Churchill Downs chairman of the board. In 1983, for the 109th Derby, two past presidents and one future president were in attendance. Ford was joined by Jimmy Carter, the

democrat who had defeated him in 1976, and Vice President George Bush, who would win the 1988 election. Other vice presidents who’ve attended include Charles Curtis, 1931, and John Nance Garner, 1937. Celebrity Owners Although most of the rich and famous who attend are guests of prominent ticket holders, the Derby has also attracted an impressive roster of celebrity horse owners. Since 1990, this group of celebrity owners has grown to include musician Hammer (1992 - Dance Floor, 3rd); composer Burt Bacharach (1994 - Soul of the Matter, 5th & 1995 - Afternoon Deelites, 8th); music producer Barry Gordy (1994 - Powis Castle, 8th); film producer Albert Broccoli (1994 - Brocco, 4th); New York Yankee owner George Steinbrenner (1997 - Concerto, 9th and 2005 - Belamy Road, 7th); University of Louisville coach Rick Pitino (1998 - Hallory Hunter, 4th); and movie director Steven Speilberg (2003 - Atswhatimtalknbout, 4th).

Child help charity event Raises Over $375,000 The Orange County Chapter of Childhelp hosted its 32nd Annual “For the Love of a Child” Fashion Show and Luncheon at the Fashion Island Hotel in Newport Beach with close to 400 attendees. The event Co-Chairs Linda Burns and Tami Smith anticipate raising over $375,000. Guests were treated to a full runway fashion show by South Coast Plaza which featured the latest fashion trends from Escada, Intermix, M Missoni, Maje, Max Mara, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sandro, Ted Baker London, Weeked Max Mara, Wolford, David Yurman, Bally and Diane von Furstenberg. At the end of the show, Kathryn Cenci of SCP was applauded and received a bouquet of flowers from one of the gentlemen models for her continued support of the Orange County Chapter of Childhelp. The décor was simple yet elegant. The centerpieces created by Devynn’s Garden were a golden vessel filled with a beautiful garden bloom of tulips, stock, hydrangeas and spider mums in various shades of lavender, purple and soft pink. They were truly stunning and one guest at each table had the opportunity to take it home. Every place setting had a box of Godiva Chocolates along with a beautiful program book which was filled with family photos and sentiments placed by Childhelp Members and Donors. The lunch began with an Arugula and Frisse Salad with Marcona Almonds, dried Tart Cherries and roasted Pears, shaved Manchego with Sherry Vinaigrette; Baked Salmon on Squash Risotto, deconstructed Ratatouille with a Lemon Buerre Blanc; alternating desserts of chocolate cake and chocolate cup with fresh berries and raspberry coulis topped with freshly whipped cream. It was a crowd pleaser! Orange County Chapter President, Julie Adams welcomed the National Board Members, attending Past Awardees and luncheon guests. Carol Packard and Dale San Filippo presented the Children’s Friend Award to Tilly Levine. Tilly spoke of her commitment to empowering teens through Tilly’s Life Center (TLC). Her dream is to see all teens across the nation benefit from life skills gained through TLC. She was truly honored to receive this award given to “a person or persons who have demonstrated their love, compassion and dedication to abused and neglected children.” Honorary Chair and National Board Member, Patti Edwards, thanked the incredible Honorary Committee “My heart aches knowing that there are children whose lives have been forever altered by violence, exploitation or neglect. I’m blessed to be part of a mission that not only gives these children the healing and hope they deserve, but also works to prevent abuse from taking place,” said Edwards The Inspirational Award was presented to Beverly Cohen, not only for being a humanitarian and philanthropist, but also her unwavering support of the less fortunate and the most vulnerable. She has given her time, energy and resources for over 30 years to benefit Childhelp’s treatment programs and facilities. Beverly’s memorable acceptance speech was mixed with humor and hope for the underprivileged children in our care. Her fervent belief that everyone can do more and give more to ensure that all children are loved and cared for, was clear as she pleaded to the audience to “do what you can to help.” The lucky winners for the fantastic Opportunity Prizes were announced while the guests were finishing lunch. Some of the items donated were a Bally Amoeba Bag, a David Yurman Oceanica 2 Row Chain Necklace, a Fashion Island Hotel Getaway that included a Maje Paris Bag, a gorgeous Roger Vivier Clutch, a Carolina Herrera shopping spree, the ever popular Dine Around with favorite Orange County restaurants, a Max Mara Extravaganza, a Mario Valentino Bag along with a DVF Shopping Experience plus more, Giorgio Armani Cosmetic Collection, and a Celine Bag valued at over $2,500. The Grand Prize, a $2,500 South Coast Plaza Shopping Spree, was drawn by Childhelp Celebrity Ambassador, Jen Lilley, who is best known for playing America’s sweetheart on Hallmark Channel and NBC’s devious leading lady, Theresa Donovan on Days of Our Lives. The very excited winner was Jean Campbell. Founded by Sara O’Meara and Yvonne Fedderson in 1959, Childhelp® has brought the light of hope and healing into the lives of countless children as a leading national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping at-risk children. Childhelp’s programs and services include residential treatment services, children’s advocacy centers, therapeutic foster care, group homes and child abuse prevention, education and training. Childhelp created the Childhelp National Day of Hope®, held each April during National Child Abuse Prevention Month that mobilizes Americans to join the fight against child abuse.

Tom Petty’s Lake House!

It never occurred to Tom Petty that gathering a group of friends to play music wouldn’t make them big stars. After meeting Elvis at the age of 10 and later watching the Beatles, he knew he was meant to be a musician and approached it with laser focus. In the late 60s at age 17, Tom put his theory into practice gathering several buddies, took guitar lessons, added a few more instruments to the mix and was soon on his way to stardom. Nothing deterred him or slowed him down, even the disapproval of his father who was disappointed that his son would take the artistic route rather than what he considered a more masculine sports-oriented road into adulthood. Tom’s first band, the Epics, started out in his hometown Gainesville, Florida playing locally between odd jobs to keep them financially afloat until they hit the big time, which he knew in his heart was just a matter of time. The Epics evolved into Mudcrutch, a popular band at the Gainesville University of Florida area bars, but failed to get outside attention. His next band, the Heartbreakers, quickly turned things around making it to the top in

Page 16

1976 with their hit song Breakdown. Tom and the Heartbreakers never looked back producing classics such as American Girl, Free Falling, and I Won’t Back Down. A career that lasted over 45 years. Music poured out of Tom Petty like a fast moving river producing hit after hit, many used for movie theme songs and sound tracks. Just as he imagined as a young boy, Tom and the Heartbreakers became one of the most popular American bands in history, garnering virtually every important award in the music industry and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Petty died in October at age 66 and now his much-loved Lake Sherwood getaway near Malibu and nine miles to the Pacific Ocean is for sale. Built in 1931 with walls of local fieldstone, Petty’s retreat has mountain and water views across the natural lake from almost every room and 125feet of shorefront. Deceptively large at 5,300 square feet, the house has three bedrooms and three baths and underwent an expansion in 2004. Its rustic feel from the fieldstone and natural wooded environment is complimented by its balcony

fireplace, redwood-paneled bath with stone bathtub that overlooks the lake and vaulted-beamed ceilings and fireplace in the fieldstone living room. It’s a California house with a European mountain-lake chalet vibe geared to inspire creativity from its barrel-tiled roof to its enchanting terrace. It also has a private deep-water dock where one can sit and dream, launch a boat, fish or swim. Located high above the fog line, the property is guaranteed

bright sunshine and cool breezes. Listing agents are Dana Sparks and Amy Alcini of Compass Realty in Malibu, California. Rock and Roll superstar Tom Petty’s fabulous Lake Sherwood retreat near Malibu is listed at $5.895 million. For More Information TopTenRealEstateDeals.com. Source: compass.com
