How to save money on summer road trips

Whether you’re driving across the country on your annual family road trip or taking a weekend to enjoy the open road, there are plenty of ways to save on the cost of fuel. Here are some easy tips that will help you save money at the pump and stretch the fuel in your gas tank. * Prepare your vehicle. Regular service can spot problems that reduce gas mileage, such as a broken thermostat, low transmission fluid or even something as simple as a dirty air filter. * Prepare yourself. Select a route ahead of time and study it to know exactly where you’re going, and where you’ll make stops. There’s an app for that. ExxonMobil’s Fuel Finder app is free for Apple and Android devices. The app includes real-time maps, driving directions and station information for nearly 10,000 Exxon and Mobil retail locations across the continental U.S. * Take advantage of a rewards program to lower your fuel expense.

Apply for the ExxonMobil Smart Card before Sept. 30 to save 18 cents per gallon on qualifying fuel purchases for the first two billing cycles and an ongoing savings of six cents per gallon on qualifying fuel purchases each billing cycle after that. Just purchase at least 45 gallons of Exxonor Mobil-branded gas in a billing cycle, the savings will apply from that

first gallon of gas up to 100 gallons and you will automatically receive your rebate as a credit on your billing statement. Subject to credit approval.

Visit www.exxonmobilcard.com or pick up an application at any Exxon or Mobil station. * Drive sensibly. Aggressive driving - speeding, rapid acceleration and quick braking - wastes gas and can

lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Use cruise control to stick to the speed limit on long, straight highways. Wind resistance increases exponentially with speed and your car will work a lot harder the faster you go. * Avoid the heat. When possible, try to get on the road early in the morning

or later in the evening as cooler temperatures set in. Not only will it help you save on air-conditioning expenses, but air that is cooler is denser and can actually increase power and mileage.

Follow these simple driving tips and you’ll see more savings that you can enjoy on your summer vacation. Let’s hit the road! - (BPT)

Orange county museum of art American Mosaic: Exhibition showcases 65 masterworks of American Modern Art

Edward Hopper, Sunday, 1926, oil on canvas, The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C. Acquired 1926 On August 6th the Orange County and individualism, rather than popular Museum of Art opens American trends. He collected his favorite artists Mosaic: Picturing Modern Art through in depth, committed to purchasing the Eye of Duncan Phillips. A collection “many examples of the work of artists of American art from the late 1800s he admired, instead of having one through the mid 1900s, the exhibition example of each of the standardized reveals the nature of art during the celebrities.” He also adopted a practice formation and heyday of modern art associated with commercial galleries in the United States and reflects a and unprecedented in the museum culture of independence, diversity, setting: Phillips gave living artists and experimentation. Included solo exhibitions. He believed that are important works by Richard these were an important source of Diebenkorn, Arthur Dove, Thomas encouragement for artists, especially Eakins, Helen Frankenthaler, Marsden at the beginning of their careers.

American Mosaic: Picturing Modern Hartley, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Horace Art through the Eye of Duncan Phillips, Pippin, and Clyfford Still. (A complete presented in six thematic sections, list is attached.) Many of these artworks demonstrates not only the changes in have never been on view on the West American art from the late nineteenth Coast and offer local audiences a through the mid-twentieth centuries, rare opportunity to see a large cross- it also celebrates Phillips’s lifetime section of The Phillips Collection’s commitment to an extraordinary renowned American modernist works vision and how this focus created one on view together. The show provides of the finest collections of American a thoughtful look into the genius of its modernism in the country.

ARTISTS AND ARTWORKS visionary founder, Duncan Phillips.

The exhibition is on view August 6 - HIGHLIGHTED IN THE EXHIBITION ROMANTICISM AND REALISM December 4, 2016.

By the second half of the 19th century, DUNCAN PHILLIPS The Phillips Collection, America’s young American painters were seeking first museum dedicated to modern art, alternatives to the sentimentality of was opened in 1921 in the nation’s American genre painting and with the capital by Duncan Phillips (1886– work of independent-minded artists 1966), who was determined to lift such as George Inness, Winslow the work of American artists out of Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Albert obscurity at a time when museums and Pinkham Ryder (all represented in collectors were primarily interested this exhibition), American art came of in European old masters. With an age. Considered America’s ‘modern’ emphasis on the work of living artists, old masters by Duncan Phillips, he assembled a collection of American these artists relied more on an artistic painting when there were no roadmaps inner vision and an exploration of the for what would stand the test of emerging interest in psychology.

IMPRESSIONISM time. Phillips’s collecting interests In 1886, work by the French were broad-ranging. He promoted diversity—as seen in the works by impressionists made it to New York self-taught artists, artists of color, and transformed American painters foreign-born artists, and recently who took to painting outdoors, naturalized Americans—resulting in a adopting a brighter palette and rich assembly of independent-minded applying pure unmixed color on artists. He also believed his collection the canvas in dabs and broken needed to reflect the continuity of art brushstrokes to create a sense—an impression—of reflected light, air, across time. He reached back into the 19th century to collect artists that and atmosphere. American Mosaic he considered America’s first modern includes artworks by Childe Hassam, masters, particularly Thomas Eakins, Theodore Robinson, John Henry Winslow Homer, and Albert Pinkham Twachtman, and Julian Alden Weir, Ryder, in order to demonstrate the who were among the first American connections between past and present painters to assimilate these new techniques. in American modernism.

FORCES OF NATURE Phillips dedicated his life to finding, At the turn of the 20th century, a fostering, and celebrating the very best of American art, particularly the work of new generation of artists including America’s living artists and especially Rockwell Kent, Marsden Hartley, and those guided by their independence John Marin—who were dissatisfied Page 4

with impressionism’s emphasis on domesticated landscape views rendered in soft, atmospheric light—sought to reinterpret nature in a bold, expressive manner. In 1928 Phillips wrote of Kent that his painting captured “The dramatic, the elemental…and the cosmic,” and later referred to Hartley as “powerful and personal and wholly American.”

NATURE AND ABSTRACTION After World War I when American artists struggled to define the country’s modern identity, Phillips was among the most adventurous collectors and museum directors, embracing bold, original works that signaled a uniquely American style. Through the circle of artists championed by photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz, Phillips met and collected works by Arthur Dove, John Marin, and Georgia O’Keeffe, who believed the experience of the natural world was a spiritual one in which nature’s essence could be made visible in abstract elements—color, form, and line—divorced from representation.

MODERN LIFE Moving away from its roots as an agrarian culture, America at the turn of the 20th century grew fascinated by the emergence of the city and its newly developing energy. The first wave of American painters interested in the grit and grim of the city became known as the Ashcan School while a second wave of artists were more interested in the effects of the city on the American psyche. Phillips found these artists, such as John Sloan and later Edward Hopper, to embody all of the complexity and contradictions of the new urban scene. Drawn to the work of John Sloan, Phillips noted that the artist “points out not only the crowd but the lonely individual caught in the maelstrom;” and similarly, after acquiring Hopper’s Sunday (1926) in 1926, Phillips described how Hopper balanced the abstraction of architectural spaces against the psychological isolation of modern life.

THE CITY The renewed sense of nationalism that settled over the country at the end of World War I coupled with engineering advances found expression in the new ways to express pictorially the structures of the city. An early supporter of Charles Sheeler and his interpretations of the city with abstract patterns of light and dark, Phillips believed his pictures expressed the impersonal character of the time with dreamlike precision.

MEMORY AND IDENTITY Millions of immigrants from Europe, Latin American, and Asia began arriving in the United States in the late 19th century. African Americans from the rural South moved to the cities of the North seeking freedom from oppression between 1910 and 1940. Phillips—who believed a diversity of voices was an essential part of American life—was particularly attracted to work by artists of color, including Jacob Lawrence and Horace Pippin; and the self-taught Grandma Moses, who painted the rural life in upstate New York that she knew intimately.

LEGACY OF CUBISM Cubism, which developed in France around 1907, burst onto the American scene in 1913. In the 1920s and 1930s, some American modernists tried to Americanize

cubism, both in style and subject matter. Russian-born Ilya Bolotowsky, co-founder of the American Abstract Artists advocated for order and balance through pure geometric abstraction. Karl Knaths developed what critic Ralph Flint called a “very American, very masculine” cubist style. Working independently, Knaths developed a highly original style that used expressive line and planar arrangements of color to interpret his environment, which Phillips valued for its ‘humanizing abstraction.’

DEGREES OF ABSTRACTION By the end of the 1930s, artists in America were putting increasing emphasis on abstraction as a universal visual language of pure form and color, whether divorced from nature or derived from it. Moreover, many American abstract painters looked to philosophy, mathematics, science, psychology, religion, and music to stimulate their visual reality and propel their art into new directions; appealing to Phillips’s open mindedness in American art.

Morris Graves, steeped in Zen Buddhism and Taoism, believed in the subconscious as the locus of creativity. Arthur Dove, while still looking to his surroundings for inspiration, eliminated descriptive detail to concentrate exclusively on spatial, geometric, and color relationships.

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM In the 1940s and 1950s, with the emergence of abstract expressionism, the first truly international style to emerge in the United States, New York City became the heart of avant-garde creativity and the art capital of the world. Abstract expressionism turned American art into a global force. The artists favored the ’authenticity’ of the individual gesture and although they shared certain intellectual concerns and social connections, each of the artists painted in his or her own style.

Clyfford Still purged his paintings of emblematic imagery, making dark canvases that expressed his philosophical concerns. Younger artists Sam Francis and Richard Diebenkorn favored expressive use of color. Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, and Kenneth Noland eliminated the use of thick pigment for a soaking and staining technique.

American Mosaic: Picturing Modern Art through the Eye of Duncan Phillips showcases extraordinary examples from these American art movements by some of the nation’s most important artists. The 65 paintings and one sculpture, created between the 1860s and 1960s, offer a thematic journey that reveals the breadth of America’s modernist vision. For more than 40 years, Duncan Phillips was a major force in promoting American modernism, through acquisitions, exhibitions, and the presentation of American art in his museum, The Phillips Collection.

Look and Feel Your Best This Summer Spring is upon us, and with the warmer weather it’s time to step up your beauty routine.

After months of being crammed in closed-toe shoes, it could be time to give your feet a little extra love. Or perhaps it’s time to lighten up your locks, update your wardrobe or give your skin a little more color. Beyond how these little things make you look on the outside, they also make you feel great on the inside.

Give your skin the perfect glow Tanning is no longer about getting as dark as possible, it’s about finding the color that’s right for you and that makes you feel more confident – be it a wedding or a day at the beach.

The professionals at Palm Beach Tan, the nation’s largest indoor tanning provider, are experts at helping you find the perfect shade.

Spray tanning has come a long way in the past decade – no more streaking or orange tint. It’s easy to get that perfect shade in just a visit or two and with a few simple tips and tricks, you can extend the life of your spray tan to maximize results.

The first steps in getting the perfect sunless tan happen before you even get to the tanning salon: Shower, shave and exfoliate your

skin to remove excess skin cells.

Avoid using moisturizers and lotions that are not specially formulated for sunless tanning before your session.

Avoid wearing perfumes or makeup.

Wear loose-fitting clothing to your session.

Once you’ve left the salon, you can expect your sunless tan to last anywhere from three to seven days.

Protect your glow and extend the life of your tan by: Waiting until your tan has fully developed (at least four hours) before bathing, swimming or engaging in activities that cause you to sweat heavily.

Moisturizing daily with a postsunless lotion.

Pamper yourself You can give your body some extra attention through a wide variety of feel-good activities. Take advantage of these ideas to pamper yourself before flip flop weather rolls around: Relax with a massage. No matter if it’s 10 minutes or an all-day treatment, massages are incredibly relaxing and can help improve blood circulation – reducing pain and helping your body distribute heat.

Restore your nails. Not only can getting a manicure and pedicure

make your nails look great, but they’re a great way to relax and offer health benefits such as skin exfoliation callous removal and fungal infection prevention.

Recharge your hairdo. Getting your hair done can help you get a great new seasonal look and build confidence – not to mention repair damage such as split ends, heat damage from blow dryers or curling irons or use of the wrong products in your hair.

Refresh your wardrobe. Part of pampering yourself is wrapping your body in comfortable, attractive clothing. Go on a shopping spree to update your closet, or at least buy a new outfit for an upcoming event.

Making a spray tan a part of your spring beauty routine will help get you ready for summer not only with a healthy glow, but with more confidence. For more information, visit PalmBeachTan.com.

Orange County Clutter Buster Marla Stone

Yes, it is true, Marla Stone, retired Social Worker and Therapist, has been called a Clutter Buster and she is proud of it. Her company I-Deal-Lifestyle’s website www.ideal-lifestyle.com offers videos and a blog explaining the causes of chronic disorganization, and she shares solutions for staying organized longterm.

Her company I-Deal-Lifestyle has helped over 1200 customers in the past 5 1/2 years. “Helping people with professionally organizing their homes and businesses has been a blessing”. Hoarding or overaccumulation has reached epidemic proportions across the planet and

I-Deal-Lifestyle will do the dirty work with style and finesse.

Included in the organizing is Feng Shui, Home Staging, Decor and Design. Marla also created a proprietary method that helps you stay organized long-term. Her methods have cut the industry standards, for getting organized, in half the time.

I-Deal-Lifestyle will organize an entire business, home and or garage in 1-5 days, depending on how much

stuff you own. Clearing up cluttered spaces helps clear the person of all kinds of stuck energy that has built up. Clutter is a distraction for challenges one faces in life. Lifestyle coaching is included so people will understand the root of why they cluttered in the first place.

Clutter may be the symptom of something that is usually bothering the person. It may be a divorce, loss, grief, depression, loneliness, emptiness, longing, anger, lack of motivation, anxiety, or it could just be a lack of time and being busy with life itself. Understanding the inside dynamics, triggers, and causes of how and why stuff accumulates is the beginning of the project. An initial assessment is first to get acquainted with the client and then a plan is created to get organized.

Each client is different, yet all want one thing and that is a beautiful and functional, uncluttered space with room to move about. Services include packing, unpacking, furniture placement, building racks, installing shelving and creating whole home

Ladera Sports Center is Now Open; Grand Opening

Celebration to Feature Activities/Entertainment for the Whole Family

Ladera Sports Center, a brandnew, 63,000-square-foot, state-ofthe-art gymnasium, is now open.

The public is invited to attend the grand opening celebration for this elite training facility on Saturday, August 6 from 11 AM to 2 PM. This family-oriented event will feature an appearance by Tyson Chandler, a California native and professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns, who will be signing autographs and a slam-dunk performance by the explosive TNT Dunk Squad. There will be basketball and volleyball contests with raffle prizes, a kid fun zone with inflatable slides/bounce houses, free food and the first 500 attendees will receive a free T-shirt.

Ladera Sports Center features eight basketball and volleyball courts, noise reduction systems, superior wood flooring, ample spectator seats per court, 300 parking spaces,

TNT Dunk Squad

TVmonitors on each court, ceilingmounted volleyball nets, a student study room, free Wi-Fi anda café serving healthy snacks and drinks.

“This facility will be the Staple Center for the training of young volleyball and basketball athletes.

This is a place where athletes are going to train Monday through Friday to hone their athletic skills. In addition, on weekends we’re going to have some of the most competitive basketball and volleyball tournaments in the country,” said H. Michael Schwartz, CEO and chairman of SmartStop Asset Management, who designed, financed and developed the facility.

Ladera Sports Center sits on approximately four acres on Terrace Road near the intersection of Crown Valley Parkway and Antonio Parkway in Southern California’s Ladera Ranch. Several South Orange

County clubs—including Team Nikos Basketball Academy, Ladera Ranch National Junior Basketball, Prime Volleyball Club and the San Clemente Volleyball Club —have already signed on.

In addition to the Ladera Sports Center, the facility includes a 42,000-square-foot storage facility with approximately 230 units operated by ExtraSpace Storage and more than 15,000+ square feet of office space for SmartStop Asset Management expanding headquarters.

The new gymnasium offers live webcast-enabled cameras on each court, which will allow parents and sports team scouts to watch games or practices remotely or buy recorded DVDs. “The technology we are installing here is something you are not going to see in any youth sports

facility anywhere else in California or maybe the entire country,” said Ladera Sports Center CEO Steve Williams, who manages the day-today activities at the center, including team planning and rentals. “If you are traveling, you are going to be able to watch your kid play ball from anywhere in the world, on your iPad or iPhone.”

SmartStop Asset Management is currently seeking sponsors for the Ladera Sports Center from national brands and local businesses.

Tommy Bahama 17th Annual Golf Tournament & Celebration Dinner benefiting Olive Crest Raises over $160,000 for Olive Crest Photos by Ann Chatillon The Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point was the setting for the Tommy Bahama 17th Annual Golf Tournament and celebration dinner benefiting Olive Crest. After an enjoyable day of golf, attendees enjoyed a scrumptious dinner, a charity auction and mingling at Tommy Bahama’s Island Grille in Newport Beach.

This is their 17th year as partners with Olive Crest, the recognized leader in child abuse prevention and treatment to help stop the cycle of abuse through their dedication, financial support, and hosting one of the best golf tournaments around.

“Tommy Bahama is thrilled to have partnered with Olive Crest for the 17th consecutive year,” stated Debbie MacDonald, West Coast Regional Manager. “It’s extremely important to us to support our community and specifically Olive Crest. It’s a great annual event that celebrates all those involved and honors the tremendous service Olive Crest provides to our community,” MacDonald continued.

Breaking all records with an impressive field of 165 golfers, a record number of sponsors, and over 240 guests in attendance, this year’s event raised over $ 160,000.00 to support Olive Crest’s vital programs and services such as their Foster Care and Adoption Programs, Project Independent Program, Residential Housing, Kinship and Wrap-Around Programs.

Guests attending the Celebration dinner and charity auction were treated to a lavish array of delectable favorites including tray passed appetizers featuring coconut shrimp, ahi tuna poke, macadamia nut encrusted goat cheese, burrata mozzarella bruschetta, teriyaki chicken skewers, mini pork adovado tostadas, filet mignon flatbread bites, a seafood bar featuring shrimp, king crab legs, Humboldt Bay kumamoto oysters, hamachi, ahi and salmon sashimi, a food station featuring artisanal cheeses, cured meats and dips, a hot buffet station consisting of smoked scottish salmon, sanibel chicken, baked truffled macaroni & cheese, lemon roasted broccolini, summer squash au gratin, and a prime rib carving station.

Topping off this over-the-top culinary offering was a dessert station consisting of key lime tartlets, butterscotch pudding cups, pina colada cake bites, triple chocolate cake bites, and strawberry buttermilk panna cotta.

Live auction items featured an all-inclusive St. Thomas US Virgin Islands Five Day Vacation complete with airfare, a Five Course Wine Pairing Dinner for eight at Tommy Bahama’s Island Grille in Newport Beach, Front Row Seats for eight at The Magic Castle, a Red Wolfe Cruiser, a Tommy Bahama Adventurer Relax Paddleboard, The Angels Honorary “Play Ball” Package, a Four Day Hilton Head Golf Getaway Package, and a British Columbia Seven Day Getaway Package.

“We cannot thank all our friends at Tommy Bahama enough for their continued support and dedication of at-risk children and families,” stated Tim Bauer, Olive Crest’s Orange County Executive Director of Development. “Olive Crest has been the beneficiary of this premier golf tournament and dinner for nearly two decades. Over one and a half million dollars has been raised to help the children and families we serve right here in Orange County. At Olive Crest we implement cutting-edge treatment and methods that go way beyond the outdated practices of the past. We’re a part of transforming lives. It is humbling to see the outpouring of generosity this tournament generates, from the hundreds of volunteer hours spent planning the event to the generous giving of the golfers,” Bauer continued.

With unwavering compassion, the Olive Crest family maintains a lifelong commitment to the youth and families they serve even after they have graduated from their programs. Olive Crest serves nearly 3,000 children and families each day throughout California, Nevada, and the Pacific Northwest.

MORE THAN HALF OF ALL COUNCIL SEATS NOW VACANT AS CHAIRMAN SAYS HE WILL NOT SEEK ANOTHER TERM

MASS EXODUS FROM LADERA RANCH CIVIC COUNCIL FOUR BOARD MEMBERS HAVE EITHER RESIGNED OR DECLINE TO RUN AGAIN

Todd Stearns

Civic Council Needs Four New Members By: Tamara Bryant, Staff Reporter Ladera Ranch News Civic Council Overview Ladera Ranch residents were wondering aloud; “Who’s in charge here? When discussions arise about the current 2015-2016 Ladera Ranch Civic Council. This week’s surprising announcement by Chairman Scott Weisgerber that he would not seek another term brings the total to four council members who have now headed for the exits.

Two members; Andrew Bereczky, and Emilie Blum ended their terms early for unstated personal reasons.

Jeff Hamilton, who has served on the Civic Council for eight years and was up for reelection, has repeatedly declined requests for interviews by the Ladera Ranch News and has recently indicated that he has decided not to seek another two-year term. Now with the sudden departure of Chairman Scott Weisgerber, it appears that will leave only three remaining board members including Gary Kephart, Jett McCormick, and Todd Stearns.

In Weisgerber’s announcement, he cited “working 60 hours a week, and running out of time” for the council’s apparent inability to even provide a copy of the Minutes of the last meeting of the Civic Council.

Two additional candidates have apparently applied to be considered for the now four available seats on the board. But as of press time today, no member of the Civic Council has furnished any minutes, nor identified the names of the new candidates Ladera Ranch residents 18 and above who have lived in the community at least six months and

Gary Kephart

Civic Council Needs Four New Members have a desire to help our community grow at the local level are urged to throw their hats into the ring for the fall elections. The Civic Council Chairman says it is “100% volunteer run and passion driven.” Since Ladera Ranch is not an incorporated city, The Ladera Ranch Civic Council is an elected seven-member Board of volunteers that serves a two-year term, provides input to organizations that have jurisdiction by advocating on a number of issues that may affect the financial, police and public safety, governance, land use, and life quality of the residents in the unincorporated county area of Ladera Ranch.

The Ladera Ranch Civic Council Urges Candidates to Apply The current board says it is encouraging interested members of the community to take part in the annual elections in which four seats are now available. Candidate applications can be downloaded at http://lrciviccouncil.org and submitted to communications@lrciviccounil. org.

Ladera Ranch Residents Right to Know The residents of Ladera Ranch are entitled to know the identity, background, and qualifications of each and every member of Ladera Ranch Civic Council, a board which makes important decisions that seriously affect every resident.

As the official legally adjudicated newspaper for Ladera Ranch, it is the obligation of the Ladera Ranch News to provide that information to our residents. Following the July 18,2016 meeting, the newspaper was told by the council chairman that the minutes of the meeting would be

Chairman Scott Weisgerber Won’t seek another term.

Jett McCormick

Jennifer Powers Resigned Again furnished to the newspaper, as had been previously done by the council.

However, after no minutes were received, the newspaper printed our own report of the meeting in the July 22nd edition of the Ladera Ranch News.

BOARD MEMBER RESIGNS TWICE IN TWO WEEKS REFUSING TO DISCLOSE BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR OFFICE Newly appointed Civic Council Board member Jennifer Powers abruptly resigned after being asked by the newspaper to provide her personal biography, background and qualifications for office. But reportedly when she heard the newspaper was not doing a background story on her, later “withdrew her resignation and agreed to resume her seat on the board.” When she learned that she would again be asked to provide her personal biography, background and qualifications for office This councilmember resigned again, apparently for the same reason.

Between the meeting and the July 22nd newspaper report, The Ladera Ranch News made a formal request that the Ladera Ranch Civic Council furnish the newspaper with: A copy of the minutes of the last meeting of the council.

An update on whether Jennifer Powers has again reconsidered taking her seat on the board. If not, then The Ladera Ranch News would like to know if the civic council is naming someone else to replace her, and if so, the newspaper is requesting a copy of that person’s application for the appointment.

The Ladera Ranch News is

Jeff Hamilton, Will not seek new term requesting a list of names of any and all persons who have applied to be considered for a seat on the board and a copy of their application.

Since this was the third time in two weeks that we have not received either the information requested or any reply explaining why the council is unable or unwilling to provide the information, the newspaper again requested that board chairman respond to indicate if the board is deliberately refusing to respond to our requests or if there is some other reason we have not received the requested information as this directly affects the story on which we are currently working. As of press time today we have not received a reply from the chairman or any members of the Ladera Ranch Civic Council Board about our requests.

Home remodeling for the long haul: Making your space work for you As more people choose to stay in their current homes longer, Americans are diving into large remodel projects. Forty percent of homeowners plan to remodel or build an addition to their existing home within the next two years, with kitchen and bathroom projects remaining the most popular remodeling jobs, according to the 2013 Houzz and Home Survey.

Home remodeling for the long term can be challenging, as newer designs may clash with the existing style of the home. The key to a successful remodel is to choose elements that will create a cohesive design throughout, yet remain fashionable and functional well into the future.

“Whether it’s upgrading their existing home or renovating a newly purchased one to fit their long-term needs, homeowners are settling in and want quality products that will look great, provide design flexibility and perform well over time,” says Andy Wells, vice president of product design, MasterBrand Cabinets, Inc. Here are a few tips to help make your remodel work for the long haul: Keep your space flexible with neutral color choices As homeowners stay in one place longer, they are passing on bright, bold colors, especially in the kitchen and instead choosing neutral colors and clean styles that work well with a variety of design elements. Many new earthy, neutral color palettes provide visual warmth while seamlessly blending with the rest of a house. Moreover, neutral hues can increase dramatic impact when carried throughout the kitchen in various textures, such as flooring, a backsplash or cabinets.

Page 14

Decora Cabinets recently partnered with SherwinWilliams to create a custom color-matching program for cabinets, which offers more than 2,000 shades of color to choose from, including a wide range of neutrals that can be easily adapted to specific design tastes. Give your kitchen a warm, cozy feel with Decora’s Down to Earth series of soft browns or create a trendy, elegant feel with the Quiet Sophistication line of blacks and greys in your cabinetry.

Complement existing design elements with transitional styles Modern cabinets can clash with traditional elements in other rooms, especially when remodeling older homes. Choose cabinets with design elements that easily transition across differing styles and bridge the gap between your desire for a contemporary kitchen and the traditional reality of an older home.

Cabinetry manufacturers are offering many new styles that help create flow between old and new spaces within your home. Consider the new Aristokraft VanWyke Thermofoil cabinets or Omega Perrini cabinet door styles. These simple cabinet doors can adopt a contemporary feel in a kitchen or complement a traditional style in the bathroom, all while maintaining a continuous, polished look across your home.

Create a functional, organized space Functionality is essential to a kitchen or bath that will continue to meet the changing needs of your family over time, whether it’s ensuring there’s enough storage space for a growing family or making the home more accessible for family members of all ages and abilities. Remodeling for the long haul

The Ladera Ranch News

also means creating a planned, practical space and many new products are available that can help improve the organization in your home.

Diamond Cabinet’s Logix product line offers a wide variety of innovative organizational cabinet solutions for the kitchen. One original space-saver is the new Diamond Wall Pull Down Spice Rack, which brings items down to eye-level from three chrome basket racks inside the cabinets, putting your favorite spices and other items right at your fingertips for easy reach.

With these tips and a wide breadth of cabinetry, colors and styles designed for today’s transitioning homes, remodeling for the long haul has never been easier.

PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S SUMMER FESTIVAL WITH SHEENA EASTON AND T H E ICONIC MUSIC OF J AMES BOND MOVIES For the second to last concert of Pacific Symphony’s Summer Festival 2016 at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre—the audience is sure to hear these words ringing in their ears: The name is Bond…James Bond.

Dashing and debonair, Bond’s movie themes are instantly recognizable, evoking international intrigue, glamour and suspense. Making this concert especially memorable are vocalist Scott Coulter and two-time Grammy Awardwinner Sheena Easton, featured singer on the James Bond soundtrack, “For Your Eyes Only.” With more than 20 million records worldwide, Easton joins the Symphony to seduce the audience into the world of “Goldfinger,” “The Spy Who Loved Me,” “A View to a Kill,” “Skyfall” and more. The concert also includes “Diamonds are Forever,” “For Your Eyes Only” and “spy” songs from “Mission Impossible,” “Austin Powers,” “Dick Tracy,” “Pink Panther” and “Charlie’s Angels.” And that’s just a sampling!

“The Spy Who Loved Me” takes place Sunday, Aug. 21, at 7:30 p.m., at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, and is led by Symphony favorite, guest conductor Albert-George Schram, who led the orchestra twice during the 2015-16 Pops series. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and guests are invited to come early to admire a display of the cool cars evoking British Secret Service Agent 007, provided by sponsor Jaguar Land Rover Aston Martin Newport Beach. Tickets are $25-$108. The award-winning caterer 24 carrots is on site to serve up a new menu of delicious gourmet options for pre-concert dining. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.

PacificSymphony.org.

“I’ve had the joy of working with Sheena before!” says guest conductor Schram, who is also an old pro at conducting the Bond program. “She is an elegant, classy and gifted singer, who exudes a warm charm from the stage. The great iconic songs associated with the James Bond film series could not ask for a more empathetic interpreter. She surrounds herself with first-rate artists and very effective, well-written orchestral charts

for Pacific Symphony, which make these classic songs soar with renewed arc and ambiance. This concert will be a real treat! Great songs, wonderful singing and a magnificent orchestra!”

The movies have always loved spies, and Bond—above all others— was born for the silver screen. Full of devil-may-care machismo, good looks and endless charm, Bond is effortlessly sexy and seemingly indestructible. Everything about him is cinematic—from his impeccable suits to his ultra-cool lifestyle, with its very dry, shaken-not-stirred martinis.

This perfect spy came along at a time when the movie audience was rabid for escapist entertainment with outlandish plots, big explosions and gorgeous women. They wanted a man of action who could seduce those women, kill the bad guys and allay the fears of the audience. They wanted Bond.

James Bond. And they wanted him set to music.

If music has the power to whisk a listener off to a far-away place, a Bond song sends the audience roaring off in a slick, fast Aston Martin into a gleaming fantasy of romance and adventure. Bond’s world—packed with action and women (both allies and enemies), copious alcohol, ingenious gadgets and bizarre, ruthlessly evil bad guys—is escapist entertainment at its best. But how do you put THAT to music?

The James Bond film franchise demanded an iconic hit song to accompany each film from the very start, beginning with “Dr. No” (1962), followed by “From Russia with Love” (1963), “Goldfinger (1964), “Thunderball” (1965) and “You Only Live Twice” (1967)…and that’s only the first few! In all, there have been 26 movies in 53 years starring several different actors—each accompanied by a memorable theme. The musical impact of a Bond song is expected to match the movie’s spectacular action.

A vivid image of Bond’s world must come instantly to mind with the first few notes. They need to contain emotional intensity, dramatic phrases that build to full climaxes and suggestive lyrics that illustrate all of Bond’s abilities as a secret agent and a lover. They need

Sheena Easton to be loud, emotional and contain unforgettable lyrics.

They also demand an outstanding singer with a signature voice who can knock out such gripping music.

The biggest stars of the day have been tapped for what have been iconic pop interpretations: Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger,” Tom Jones’ “Thunderball,” Nancy Sinatra’s “You Only Live Twice” and “Live and Let Die” by Paul McCartney and Wings, “Tomorrow Never Dies” by Sheryl Crow, “Skyfall” by Adele, to name a few. From Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass to Louis Armstrong, Duran Duran, Gladys Knight, Madonna, Jack White and Alicia Keys to Sam Smith—the names have been as big as the voice.

When Carly Simon belted out “Nobody Does It Better” with her one-of-a-kind smoky voice, she immortalized, “Baby, you’re the best.”

But, frankly, nobody does a Bond song better than Sheena Easton, whose rendition of “For Your Eyes Only” accomplished the impossible: Simultaneously big and intimate, it infuses a standard phrase with smoldering double meaning.

Still going strong today, the James Bond film franchise is by far the most durable in the history of the movies. It began more than half a century ago, yet Bond himself doesn’t look a day older. Unflappably suave, he shows

no signs of slowing down. And great singers are still lining up to warble about him.

The Symphony relives the thrills and chills of Bond movies with music sung by Easton, whose career has spanned four decades. Born in Bellshill, Scotland, Easton’s recording career has included Gold and Platinum albums in the United States, Europe and Asia. She was the first and only artist to have top five records on five major Billboard charts. In addition to her recording success, she is a top concert attraction around the world, and on Broadway, Easton starred as Aldonza/Dulcinea in “Man of La Mancha” and as Rizzo in the musical “Grease.” She also makes frequent appearances in Las Vegas, and has been inducted into the Las Vegas Hall of Fame.

Coulter is one of New York’s most honored vocalists. For his work in cabaret, he has received five MAC Awards (Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs), five Bistro Awards and two Nightlife Awards for Outstanding Vocalist and has performed at most of NYC’s top rooms including Birdland, 54 Below, The Oak Room at the Algonquin and Feinstein’s at The Regency. Coulter regularly performs in concert both as a solo artist and with a variety of legendary performers, and he has performed with symphonies all over the world.
