WORLD CHAMPION COWBOYS HEAD TO SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY TO C O M P E T E I N A M E R C I A’ S R I C H E S T T W O DAY R O D E O ! Photos by: Richard Field Levine The nation’s top rodeo cowboys, including several World Champions, will be riding into San Juan Capistrano on August 27 and 28, 2016 for the 16th Annual Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo, the richest two-day rodeo in America! Conducted at the Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park at San Juan Capistrano, the annual Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo will produce some of the finest rodeo action in the nation as “the best of the best” in rodeo compete for $250,000 in prize money. Events scheduled for the two-day rodeo include bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling and team roping. Tickets are on sale now or will be available at the Rodeo on a first come, first serve basis. For more information, please visit www. RMVRodeo.com. “The 16th Annual Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo will feature the top 30 World Champion cowboys competing in each of the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Assn. (PRCA) events as they try to qualify for a place in the National Finals Rodeo,” said Gilbert Aguirre, Rodeo Committee President and Executive Vice President – Ranch Operations for Rancho Mission Viejo, manager of the historic Rancho Mission Viejo cattle ranch in Orange County and master planner and developer of the Rancho Mission Viejo community. “The Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo is now viewed as the last important spot before the Finals which makes this competition even more important. Watch as the top cowboys go ‘all out’ to compete for top prize money.” Aguirre noted that, while the annual Rodeo is key to the PRCA, it’s also an important part of the legacy of the Rancho Mission Viejo landholdings, which has been under the stewardship of the O’Neill/Avery/ Moiso family since 1882. “Hosting the Rodeo is our way of showing folks that that we have a tremendous Western heritage, one that we feel privileged to share. The Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo allows us to keep our region’s cowboy culture alive while honoring the old Page 4
cowboy tradition of ‘passing the hat’ in support of a sick child or needy friend,” added Aguirre. “The proceeds for this year’s Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo will, once again, benefit local charities. Over the course of the last 16 years, more than $1.6 million in Rodeo proceeds have been donated to local charities. We hope to attract the largest turnout yet this year as we promise to deliver a fun-filled, familyoriented event.” A portion of the proceeds from this year’s Rodeo will benefit the Shea Center for Therapeutic Riding, in San Juan Capistrano, and CHOC at Mission Hospital. The schedule of events is as follows: Saturday, August 27 Sunday, August 28 1:00 p.m. – Gates Open 10:30 a.m. – Gates Open 3:45 p.m. – Opening Ceremonies 1:15 p.m. – Open Ceremonies 4:00 p.m. – Rodeo Begins 1:30 p.m. – Rodeo Begins 6:00 p.m. – Concert (Danny Griego) Admission is as follows: Adults – $30; Kids (4 to 12 years) – $10; and 3 & Under – Free.

H ow to keep your scents light and sensible this summer
The seasons affect everything we wear, eat and feel - including the scents we choose. When weather warms, Americans turn to lighter scents in everything from body lotions and perfumes to clothing fabric softeners. “Annual American perfume sales are around $5.2 billion,” notes Sue Phillips, founder and president of Scenterprises, Ltd., a custom perfumery. “Americans tend to prefer citrus and floral scents, but in the summer U.S. sales of fragrance tend to decrease or stay flat. At the same time, sales of light body misters and lotions increase, as consumers don’t want to wear a ‘heavy’ scent.” Many new summer scents help reflect and enhance these changes in mood and attitude. One notable reason for this is the fragrance shift from the deep, dark, woodsy notes of the fall and winter, to the lighter citrus and floral scents that reflect the fun, fresh, spirited feeling of summer. Many winter perfumes are too heavy and strong for the summer, so people often choose this time to switch to fragrances that are lighter. Phillips notes that “with the change of season, we suddenly experience light-heartedness and upbeat feelings, which are reflected in the fragrances we wear - hence why so many lighter scents are offered in the summer.” If you’re looking for a way to lighten up your scents for summer, Phillips offers a few tips: * Heat and humidity can intensify a scent. You may be able to stick with your signature scent if you simply wear a little less of it, or use an eau de toilette formula rather than perfume, which tends to be more concentrated. * If your favorite winter scent simply
can’t hold up to summer’s heat, switch to a perfume with a lighter aroma, such as citrus or florals. * During summer, you probably prefer lighter clothing that helps you feel fresher longer. However, keeping clothing smelling fresh during the summer months can be quite a challenge. Your fabric softener choice can influence your overall summer scent experience. With Downy Infusions, you can add a luxurious, long-lasting fragrance to your summer wardrobe. Sage Jasmine is the perfect summer scent that combines a bold, unforgettable twist of fruits and floral. Visit www. downy.com/en-US/product-line/ downy-infusions.jspx to learn more. * Be aware of other daily wear items
that influence your overall summer scent experience. Most lotions, shampoos and even sunscreens have a scent. It’s important to ensure your layers of scent don’t clash or overwhelm each other. For example, your floral perfume won’t pair well with a layer of coconut-scented sunscreen. When in doubt, opt for scent-free items like hair spray, deodorant and sunscreen, so that your scent of choice can shine through without competition. Even if you already have a signature fragrance, don’t be afraid to try something new. “Scents touch our deepest emotions, reflect the true spirit of a person and should be as individual as you are,” Phillips says. - (BPT)

From supplies to volunteering, parents can find ways to support teachers Parents know educating their children is a collaborative effort between families and teachers. Each new school year, parents look for ways to make that effort as fruitful and positive for their children as possible. By supporting their child’s teacher, parents can help ensure kids get the best education possible every year. If you’re looking for ways to show your child’s teacher your support - and facilitate his or her efforts to educate your child - keep these points in mind: Supplies show support Teachers often spend their own money to ensure their students and classrooms have the supplies they need throughout the year. In fact, a study by the National School Supply and Equipment Association found that teachers spend an average of $356 from their own pockets on supplies and instructional materials - a total of $1.3 billion for all U.S. public school teachers. The same study revealed that parents - not governments, corporations or even charities - were the major source of supplemental funds for classroom needs, averaging $19 per student on classroom supplies. This year, parents can do even more to ensure students and teachers have the supplies they need to succeed. Teachers participating in the Staples Teacher Rewards and Reward-A-Classroom programs can now generate custom supply lists that parents can access on www. staples.com/rewardaclassroom.
Searching by the teacher’s name and city, parents can locate and print out a custom list, and bring it to a Staples store - or order directly from Staples.com. Additionally, through the Reward-A-Classroom program, parents can earn extra rewards for a participating teacher of their choice. By linking their Staples Rewards account to a participating teacher’s Rewards Account, parents will earn an additional 2 percent back in Rewards on everything (5 percent back on any Copy & Print order) when they shop in store and online that will go directly to the teacher. Parents will still receive their usual five percent back in Staples Rewards on everything. “Sometimes, helping obtain needed supplies can be the most supportive thing a parent can do for their child’s teacher,” says Alison Corcoran, senior vice president of stores and online marketing for Staples. “When parents can help supply teachers simply by spending money on things they would purchase regardless, it’s a win-win situation for everyone.” To learn more about the rewards programs, log on to www.staples. com/rewards. Stay in touch - in every way Schools often offer orientation nights to introduce parents to teachers and demonstrate the curriculum students will learn throughout the year. Attending these events is a simple, powerful way to show teachers you support their efforts and appreciate them taking personal
time after hours to benefit your children. If your teacher maintains a website or page for your child’s class, be sure to check in regularly for homework assignments, news and any updates to your teacher’s supplies list or wish list. Keeping in touch helps teachers know you’re aware of their work and of students’ achievements. Hands on wherever you are Whether it’s at home checking your child’s homework or as a volunteer in the classroom, taking a hands-on approach to helping shows teachers you are as committed to your child’s education as they are. Schools need volunteers for a range of activities, from assisting on testing days and in school libraries to helping out with parties, performances, sporting events and other fun occasions. Even if you can only spare an hour a month, you’ll be helping out the teacher - and demonstrating to him or her that
you consider yourself a part of the educational team. If volunteering isn’t practical, consistently reinforcing classroom messages and lessons at home can be just as helpful and supportive. Look for ways to incorporate lessons learned in the classroom with dayto-day home life. For example, when your child studies weights and measures, involve him in food prep and use cooking as a way to practice measuring techniques. When your child learns about government and voting, take her with you to the polls so she can see the voting process. “It’s important for all of us to show teachers how much we value their commitment and contribution to our communities,” Corcoran says. “Keeping teachers well-supplied and reinforcing classroom lessons are great ways for parents to help teachers make a difference - and ensure their kids get the education they need.” - (BPT)

Orange county museum of art American Mosaic Exhibition showcases Brian Bress: Make Your Own Friends
Exhibition Through December 4, 2016 Brian Bress: Make Your Own Friends offers an in-depth look at the last ten years of Bress’s practice. Bringing together his video, sculpture and works on paper for the first time, the exhibition is the most significant presentation of the L.A. artist’s work to date. Bress is known for the fictional characters he creates, inspired by 1980s children’s programming, exotic world cultures and historical art movements. Born as doodles or collages, these imaginative figures take shape as sculptural costumes and come to life on video, performed in front of elaborately composed backdrops. Brian Bress: Make Your Own Friends is jointly organized by Whitney Tassie, curator of modern and contemporary art at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA), and Nora Burnett Abrams, curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. The exhibition is sponsored in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the UMFA Friends of Contemporary Art (FoCA), and the Director’s Vision Society at MCA Denver. The exhibition catalogue
is made possible by the Elizabeth Beach, CA 92660. Firestone Graham Foundation and Hours: Mon-Tues CLOSED Cherry and Martin, Los Angeles. Wed-Sun 11am – 5pm Orange County Museum of Art, Fri (FREE) 11am – 8pm 850 San Clemente Drive, Newport Admission: Adults $10

Prepping for a party: make-ahead appetizers make summer entertaining easy Don’t let the first “ding-dong” of the doorbell catch you up to your elbows in dirty dishes and half-finished appetizers. For your next party, prepare your appetizers ahead of time with these simple tips and recipes: “Let’s not reinvent the wheel. Take items you already know how to make and turn them cool and trendy with some add-ons,” says Chef Richard Worthen, culinary instructor at The Art Institute of Seattle. You can dress up egg, tuna or chicken salad with a variety of flavors and spices. He recommends chopped cilantro instead of chopped parsley, adding chipotle to egg salad or adding almonds, walnuts or pistachio nuts for some crunch. For a gluten-free appetizer, try lettuce cups. “You could do a quick chop of a variety of three-to-four items and put it in a lettuce cup,” says Chef Brian Shulse of The Art Institute of California - San Francisco, a campus of Argosy University. “It can also go traditional Asian - ground pork with some spices that can just be popped in the microwave to heat before serving.” “You could do a flat bread with seasonal vegetables on it,” Shulse says. “Make the bread in advance, roll it out, put olive oil on it, add seasonal vegetables, and bake.” Worthen recommends tomato toast, which is made by taking cut tomatoes and rubbing the juice and pulp into french
bread slices. This can serve as a base for any type of spread. Shulse says people tend to go to proteins, such as shrimp cocktail and cubes of steak, and not to the veggie tray. He says you can make all kinds of skewers with different meats, then add fresh chopped herbs and citrus to Greek yogurt for a quick and easy sauce. Another great make-ahead protein is tuna tartar, which can be made with a high-quality ahi tuna steak and served with store-bought kettle chips. Phyllo-wrapped asparagus, made with store-bought phyllo dough, is another easy recipe, along with water chestnuts wrapped in bacon. Simply wrap one third of a slice of bacon around each water chestnut, roll in brown sugar and bake at 425 degrees until brown and crisp. Try these easy make-ahead recipes courtesy of Shulse: Spicy Ahi Tartare Yield: 10 servings Ingredients: 2 pounds Yellow fin/Ahi tuna, diced in 1/8-inch pieces 1/2 cup cucumber, washed, dried, diced in 1/8-inch pieces(optionalpeel) 1-2 garlic cloves, crushed, peel removed and minced 1-2 serrano or jalapeno pepper, seeded, minced fine 1 shallot, finely minced (substitute 2 green onions) 1 orange, washed, dried, zested,
juiced 1 lime, juiced 1 teaspoon dry oregano (or 2 teaspoons fresh) 2 teaspoon ground cumin 2 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste) 1 teaspoon sugar 1 bag thick potato chips (like Kettle chips) or crackers Directions: Gently mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. This will hold for two to four hours (or up to overnight). To serve, gently mix and place in a serving bowl with a spoon, with the chips on the side. Lettuce Cups Yield: 15 bites Ingredients: 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1/2 yellow onion, small dice 1 tablespoon garlic, smashed, peeled, minced 1 tablespoon ginger, peeled, grated fine (or use micro plane) 1/2 bunch green onions, minced, white and green kept separately 1 pound ground pork or turkey 1 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/2 cup water chestnuts, small dice 2 tablespoon soy sauce 2 tablespoon Hoisin sauce 1-2 tablespoons Chinese hot mustard 1/2 cup peanuts, crushed or chopped 15 Iceberg lettuce cups, cut into
3-inch squares Directions: Over medium-low heat, preheat a medium size saute pan for 30 seconds. Add the sesame oil and swirl the pan until it is fully coated with oil. Add the onion, garlic, white part of the green onion and ginger. Sweat for several minutes until the mixture begins to look translucent. Turn up the heat to high and add the ground pork. Cook on high, stirring until the meat turns pale brown. Turn the heat back down to medium-low and add the salt, diced water chestnuts, soy sauce and Hoisin sauce. Cook until moisture evaporates. Turn the pan off and add the Chinese hot mustard to taste. After this has cooled down, cover and refrigerate. Can be made up to four days in advance. Reheat gently in a microwave or saute pan until just warmed through. Place in a serving bowl, top with peanuts, and serve with lettuce cups.

Ladera Ranch CROWDS JOIN THE THOUSANDS WHO CelebrAte RELAY FOR LIFE IN 24 HOUR MARATHON TO BATTLE CANCER
By Amy R. Spurgeon-Hoffman, Ladera Ranch News Reporter Beginning Saturday Aug. 6 until 10 a.m. Sunday Aug. 7, The community of Ladera Ranch came together for 24- hours as part of the 8th Annual Relay For Life of Ladera Ranch at Cox Sports Park on Crown Valley Parkway In more than 5,200 communities and 20 countries, Relay For Life events comprise the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Each Relay For Life event is special to its community, but the movement’s true power lies in the combined commitment of thousands of participants, volunteers, and supporters to help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer, according to the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org). LADERA RANCH SURVIVOR LEADS BY EXAMPLE AND CHAMPIONS FOR ALL “As you circle the track, enjoy a meal, play games or enjoy the entertainment, take pride in what you are helping accomplish,” Relay For Life of Ladera Ranch Event Lead and Survivor Marge Lewandowski wrote in the 2016 event brochure to participants. “Reaffirm your commitment to live a healthy lifestyle, be aware of the research, treatment and support programs available. Give thanks for the people in your life whose courage gives hope and remember the ones who are no longer able to continue the fight.” “We honor them and their memories as we vow to continue working towards a future with less cancer,” Lewandowski wrote. “As you circle the track, enjoy the surroundings, the people around you, and the knowledge that YOU are making a difference.” Ladera Ranch’s Cub Scout Pack 689 of the Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts patriotically led the opening ceremony with a polished U.S. flag ceremony attended by Ladera Ranch OCFA Station 58 firefighters, Captain/ PIO Steve Concialdi ,joined with his son Andy, Engineer Cameron Spicer, firefighter Scott McDonald, firefighter Bob Embree and OCFA Care Ambulance Service of South Orange County. The National Anthem was performed by Facebook sensation Izzy Moore Hubbard followed by a heartfelt presentation by Rancho Mission Viejo resident Ashley Stift, daughter, wife, beloved new mother and a survivor, who spoke candidly about her diagnosis earlier this year and resolute fight to take back control of her life.“Did my world really fall apart on February 1st, or did I find the meaning of it?” Stift asked the crowd,
while her preschool age son held tightly to her on stage while gently placing a kiss on her hand. A SAFE PLACE TO EMBRACE ONE ANOTHER Participants spent the next 24-hours truly relaying for life and one another. Holding hands, walking together, and sharing stories of inspiration. South County Performing Arts gave a Saturday afternoon performance, Ladera Ranch resident Rebecca Stora hosted a dance party and story time; and Sharon Kim, CEO/Founder of www.mycanplan.com, shared her inspirational story of how her beloved Mom Yong Chu Kim’s battle with cancer led her to change careers and develop a step by step ‘CanPlan’ guide/planner that helps patients monitor their illness, think positively, tell their story, stay organized, reach goals, get support and become an expert. The 9 p.m. Luminaria Ceremony evoked strong emotions of everyone present as the lights temporarily went out at the massive sports park to reveal a candlelit course around the field for participants to walk. The following morning, as participants awoke from their tents to smells of coffee and breakfast (compliments of Bruegger’s, Gelson’s and Corky’s), two youngsters sat excitedly as they had 8-9” of their hair cut by Ladera Ranch’s ‘The Right Hair Salon’ owner Brandee for ‘Haircuts for Pantene Pro Length’, a program that creates wigs for cancer patients. Event organizer Julie Fingersh watched proudly as her seven-year old Taylor let Brandee cut 8” of her hair. This was the second year Taylor donated her shiny brown hair for a wig that will benefit others.Jill and Randy Haveson of Aliso Viejo also watched with pride as their only daughter Eden, 11, had 9” of her long brown hair cut for donation. “I am a little nervous,” admitted Eden, who stood bravely in front of a crowd as Brandee clipped her hair in sections in preparation to cut it. “I have been thinking about this since last year. I am doing this in honor of my cousin Stephanie who passed from breast cancer. I am donating 9”. Nine is my lucky number!” THE STORY BEHIND THE RELAY FOR LIFE According to the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org), in May 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, ultimately raising $27,000 to help the American Cancer Society fight the nation’s biggest health concern cancer. A year later, 340 supporters joined the overnight event. Since those first steps, the Relay For Life movement has grown

They have put together Eagle Scout projects that have changed the face of the Zoo, participated on the Board in many activities and during special events and helped bring the largest revenue generators to the Zoo in the form of the rides. “For 24 years, Zoofari has played an integral role in raising the funds needed for all the special projects and improvements going on here at our favorite community zoo including educational programs, breaking ground on new animal habitats, tackling important conservation initiatives, introducing new rides and upgrading service facilities for our guests to use and enjoy,” says Cathi Decker, event host and Executive Director of FOSAZ. “Zoofari is a first-class fundraising event that demonstrates the love and investment the local community, surrounding businesses and FOSAZ have for the Zoo,” says David Exline, President of the FOSAZ Board. “2016’s “Year of the Monkey” gala promises to be another endearing and festive evening our guests will cherish and a night of giving that will have a lasting and positive impact on the Santa Ana Zoo for years to come.” Get your tickets for Saturday, August 27 from 5:30 to 11:30pm for this year’s Zoofari held at the Santa Ana Zoo in Prentice Park located at 1801 Chestnut Avenue in Santa Ana.

W FAMILY FEATURES
hile kids and parents alike eagerly await the fresh start of a new school year, the back-to-school season is not without its share of stressors for busy families. The start of school means new schedules, teachers, shoes, backpacks and friends; as well as new academic challenges. Adding some fun and excitement to the newness can help smooth the way. For example, allowing kids to help choose their outfits for the first day of school can help diffuse that nervous anticipation. Similarly, the chance to put a fresh set of pens to use or show off a cool new notebook can provide a distraction from those first-day jitters. If the shopping itself is adding stress to your household, ease the back-to-school burden on your family with these helpful tips to simplify shopping for the school year ahead. Make note of your inventory. School lists often carry over each school year, so make sure you aren’t buying multiples of things you already own. Some supplies are more exciting when refreshed every year, but buying the same old boring ruler year after year is simply a waste of money. Make a list with your children. Put everything you need on that list, and be clear that once the list is done, it’s done. Having everyone on the same page with a complete list helps ensure nothing vital is forgotten, and the list can serve as a handy tool to keep your budget in check. Get uber organized using vibrant Sarasa gel pens by Zebra to create lists color-coded by kid or category to make your shopping more manageable. Begin shopping as early as possible. Hunt bargains before the traditional back-to-school season to get the best deals. Not only will you save some cash, shopping before the rush will give you a wider selection to choose from, so you’re sure to find the items you need in the styles you (and your kids) want. Spreading the shopping over several weeks or months also allows you to distribute the expense across several pay periods, helping lessen the chance that you blow your monthly budget with one mega shopping excursion. Be a savvy online shopper. Check out your favorite brands and retailers online, and sign up for their email alerts, so you’ll be in the know when the best deals hit. Many retailers now offer onlineonly specials, so watch ads closely to know when you’re better served making purchases in-store or online. Also keep an eye out for free or reduced shipping for extra savings that make it even cheaper than buying in person when you factor in the cost of gas. Remember that you can also rely on social media to follow back-to-school offers and hashtags. Create a back-up bin at home. You may find that your kids consistently run out of certain items midyear. Devote a special area of your home to keep extras in stock, and take advantage of sales during back-to-school season or buy in bulk to get a better price.
Page 14
Put quality ahead of price. While it’s tempting to go for cheap when your list is long, remember that sometimes quality buys actually save more in the long run. You can buy a ton of cheap pens that skip, or simply stop working. Or you can look at alternatives, such as Zebra’s Z-Grip brand, which are affordable, quality pens that allow children to focus on writing, not on the pen. Known for delivering a smooth-flowing writing experience at a great value, a Z-Grip pen truly delivers for young learners. Make your children shopping buddies. Involve your kids in the back-to-school shopping process by giving them a budget. Help them allocate money for all the expenses, including clothing, school supplies, shoes and more. Use the opportunity to talk about how shopping smart for the necessities can leave room for some fun buys, too. Reduce and reuse. Save plastic and money by encouraging kids to embrace reusable items, such as lunch bags in place of paper sacks and plastic containers instead of sandwich bags. If water bottles are allowed at school, look for a durable refillable option that can be used again and again. Make the old new again. Turn barely used items into something new by decorating or adding stickers. Not only is this a fun activity that can help get the kids excited about and engaged in planning for the year ahead, it’s easy on the budget and eco-friendly. Keep leftover supplies on hand to revive the enthusiasm with fresh designs at the end of the quarter or semester. Swap with other moms. Make back-to-school time more fun by hosting a swap event with other moms for clothing, backpacks, shoes, etc. It seems that kids are forever trading with their friends, so embrace that mindset and see what exciting new treasures you can find for your kids to call their own. Find your zen during back-to-school shopping at www.zebrapen.com/findzen.
The Ladera Ranch News
Make It a Peaceful Shopping Experience Though back-to-school shopping can be fun, it can also be overwhelming. These tricks may help you add some Zen to the experience, or at least cut some of the chaos. Know yourself: Are you better at doing all of your shopping all at once, or would you rather make separate trips throughout a couple of weeks to ease the stress? There is no one “right” way to tackle back-to-school shopping; just go with what works best for you. Create a democratic shopping experience: Instead of taking it upon yourself to get the supplies you think your kids need, turn it into a fun experience for everyone to enjoy. Ask what your kids want and what colors they like. Encourage them to stimulate creativity with whimsical supplies, such as the fun and funky patterns of Cadoozles mechanical pencils. Want your high school or college bound academians to have a little extra swag for school? Look for a few simple purchases that reflect their confidence, such as Zebra Steel pens, with a sleek design perfect for the advancing student.

Festival of Arts’ Barry Robin Engineers New Career as Woodwork Artist
There’s nothing quite like aerospace engineering to prepare you for life as an artist. Actually, if you are Barry Robin, that is exactly what serves as the foundation for his art. Robin has lived in Southern California his entire life and currently lives in Aliso Viejo. About the age of 12, he discovered his two passions — surfing and working with wood. Surfing didn’t pay the bills, but woodwork was different. Robin once held a job as an apprentice yacht carpenter in Newport Beach, but his very first job was building wooden boxes. Those boxes were meant to hold something — specifically, aerospace components, which were related to his dad’s career. “Those wooden boxes held components that eventually made their way to the moon,” Robin said. Naturally, Robin followed his dad’s footsteps into aerospace engineering and worked in the field for 25 years. But he never lost his love for woodwork, and now Robin is one of 140 select artists displaying his handiwork at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach through August 31.
While you look at his work, know that there are years of aerospace engineering experience that goes into each piece. “I create art furniture and wood sculpture which I’ve done my entire life part-time,” Robins said. “Twentyfive years in aerospace engineering gave me my strength in precision measurement which is an integral aspect of my art.” The Festival of Arts is a special place to show one’s art. And Robin isn’t the type to show his work off in a gallery setting. “I try to avoid placing my work in competitive environments, which tend to shape one’s art into what is currently popular and away from my weird imagination,” Robin said. “I’m a showoff! The Festival of Arts gives me the mechanism to exhibit my work and interact with thousands of people. “I prefer to interact directly with my clients. Placing my work in galleries seems to place an additional step between my vision and my clients’ desire.” Like any good artist, Robin can find inspiration for his work in almost anything. Look around, the world has plenty to offer an artist, and Robin’s eyes are wide open. “Everything I see!” Robin said when asked what inspires him. “My work has organic lines as well as precision geometric aspects. I guess I’m a bit like a sponge, soaking up imagery as I float through life. I wring out my mental sponge when I design my pieces.”
Robin now works full-time as an artist, having opened up Studio Robin seven years ago. “I am constantly thinking of new furniture styles and unique joinery techniques. The result makes my furniture pieces one of a kind,” Robin said. “I’m intrigued by the whole design process of each project. I love working in the medium of wood, textures and color. It’s beautiful and no two pieces are the same. Every project is different and must be approached in its own unique way. I love searching for just the right piece of exotic woods and turning them into something not only beautiful, but functional.” “I’m very fortunate to lead a life where people value my imagination and abilities. I place emphasis on keeping life simple and not taking things too seriously. I have a wonderful, supportive family which allows me the time to imagine and create.” G E N E R A L F E S T I VA L INFORMATION Recently voted one of the top five art festivals in the nation by USA Today readers, the Festival of Arts is one of the most highly acclaimed juried fine art shows featuring the artwork of 140 award-winning artists. Patrons may enjoy the work of exhibiting artists, demonstrations and art workshops, daily art tours, live music, special events, on-site restaurants and much more.

T ech shopping for your child ? C onsider the power of the pen in learning
Writing is fundamental to learning, and humans have been doing it since the first cave dwellers used the end of a stick to smudge drawings on the walls of their homes. Parents thinking of buying a tablet for their child may think touchscreen technology is heralding the end of writing for their kids. Not so, education and technology pros say. A new generation of “pens,” designed for use with tablets and touchscreens, is bringing one of the oldest human communication tools into classrooms that have already entered the digital age. Unlike early styluses that forced users’ hands into unnatural positions, these pens allow users to draw, write, highlight, annotate and more on their digital touchscreens in a natural manner - making the pens ideal for use in classrooms where youngsters are learning the mechanics of writing in tandem with other subjects. With pens, students can rest their wrists on the tablet surface, just as they would if using a notepad and ink pen or pencil. “Employing pen technology in the classroom engages students in learning and allows educators to maximize the versatility and benefits of the technology they’re already using,” Page 18
says Paige Johnson, K-12 education strategist for Intel Corporation. “Pens free both students and teachers, fostering creativity in children and allowing teachers to move more freely around the classroom to collaborate with students during class.” The advantage of a pen is simple and easy to see. If you’ve ever hit the wrong buttons on your mobile device’s virtual keyboard and ended up with gibberish (and who hasn’t), you’ve experienced the limitations of fingertips: they can’t make as fine a point as a pen can. Pens give young students the flexibility to alternate between the broader strokes of their fingertips and a more precise interface, depending on which is appropriate for the task at hand. Pioneering educators at Cincinnati Country Day School are using pen technology to virtually eliminate paper from the classroom and homework. In 1996, the school was the first in the country to ensure every student had a computer. Today, all homework and assignments are done on hybrid PC/tablets, allowing students to write, annotate, highlight and draw with their digital pens. Integrating pen technology into the classroom
The Ladera Ranch News
has resulted in increased student engagement and collaboration at Cincinnati Country Day School. Parents looking to maximize pen technology as part of students’ education can use it in numerous ways. As you shop for a device for your child, keep these benefits in mind: * Pens foster more room for an interactive, creative and engaging learning experience for students, facilitating non-linear thinking at all age levels. * Writing with a pen and paper is one of the first things young students learn. Digital pens reinforce handwriting lessons for younger students, allowing them to hold the pen in a natural way. * Pens give students the flexibility to choose the best tool for the task at hand - whether it’s a pen, their fingers or the keyboard. The pen is a creativity tool. The keyboard is a productivity tool. Sometimes you need one, and sometimes you need both. *Pens allow students in higher math and science classes to write out complex formulas and make diagrams more easily and quickly.
Another great resource for parents and teachers who are on the market for a new device is the K12 Blueprint, found online at www. k12blueprint.com. Sponsored by Intel Corporation, this website is a free resource for planning and implementing technology initiatives in districts. You’ll find useful information, including practical guidelines, funding advice, curriculum considerations and real-world success stories. “For a while, it seemed as if styluses - and possibly even handwriting itself - would become obsolete as touchscreen capabilities opened up new horizons in computing,” Johnson says. “New pen technology is proving that won’t be the case. As parents shop for technology for their children, they should keep in mind that in the classroom, the pen can be just as mighty as the fingertip.” - (BPT)
