RANCHO’S Braden Butler Makes a Difference By Diane Hawkins B r a d e n B u t l e r, o f B o y Scout Troop 755 from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, chose the 2013 Run for Ruby in Rancho Santa Margarita as his Eagle Scout project. Braden’s duties included attending all planning meetings, recruiting all 80+ volunteers and signing up blood donors for the event. He personally managed set-up and clean-up and notified n e i g h b o r s a ff e c t e d b y the race through street closures. He was also involved in approaching local businesses to ask for their involvement and enlisting community support for the run. His Boy Scout troop was right behind him to make it all happen. As Braden’s mom Elise said, “It’s amazing to see these young men, willing to show up at 5 am on a Saturday, especially as cold as it was that morning.”
Braden Butler on the right pictured with RSM volunteers Kristin Hicken, Jenny Hoertig and Elise Butler (mom) at the Run for Ruby event.
When Braden, a sophomore at the Orange County School for the Arts, was asked why he chose helping with this particular
event, he said, “I wanted to do something that was meaningful and that could really make a difference in someone’s life.
I thought I could get the youth involved and make them aware of the importance of blood, bone marrow and organ donations”.

Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Suggests Faster and Easier Five Minute Way to Cure Canker Sores and Cold Sores About twenty percent of the population suffers from canker sores, while twenty to thirty percent suffers from cold sores. Both kinds of these common mouth lesions are painful and annoying but there’s no need to wait a week or ten days for this irritating condition to subside. Here in my dental office in Rancho Santa Margarita, I use a laser. It quickly delivers a small, concentrated amount of energy to a very specific, localized area, and, in the course of a five minute office visit, the lesion is significantly reduced in size, essentially scabbed over, and the patient is free of pain. Modern technology at its best! Cold sores are fluid-filled blisters on the lips. Their outbreak is stimulated by trauma, colds, or most commonly, exposure to the sun. People who get them regularly report a tingling sensation in the area before any lesion actually appears. Anti-viral medications taken very soon after onset dramatically shorten the length of time of the outbreak and its severity. The amino acid, Lysine, is said to be useful in fighting cold sores. The culprit herpes simplex virus is easily transmittable. Canker sores, also called mouth ulcers or apthous ulcers, are not contagious. They occur as shallow ulcers inside of the mouth. Because they are not caused by a virus, canker sores cannot be treated with anti-viral medications. Canker sores are a reaction to certain “triggers” that initiate their formation. Foods like chocolate, nuts, beer, in some cases orange juice, and wheat products may be the instigator. Of course, injury to the inside of the mouth caused by eating hard candy, crusty French bread, corn chips, or hurried tooth brushing can also be the perpetrators. Warm salt water rinses are the old fashioned treatment of these lesions. Rinsing this way increases circulation and thereby removes toxins from the inflamed tissues. Ibuprofen, an over-the-counter, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory, is slow but effective. But most people with busy lives find it faster, easier and more comfortable to come into my dental office and enjoy the immediate relief a laser treatment provides. The laser is fast, affordable and, as I mentioned above in the course of a five minute office visit, the lesion is significantly reduced in size, essentially scabbed over, and you continue your daily routine free of pain. Please don’t hesitate to call my office if mouth lesions are a problem. Dr. Michael Tessier’s office is located at 28562 Oso at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways (near the car wash) Most major credit cards and dental plans cheerfully accepted.

CHOC Children Gala Raises $900,000 The Island Hotel in Newport Beach was the setting for the 5th annual CHOC Cherishes Children Gala that honored the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange and St. Joseph Hospital of Orange. Around 475 guests attended the black-tie affair that featured a cocktail reception, dinner, live auction and entertainment. This year’s gala, themed “A Future Built on Hope,” raised money for the “Change CHOC, Change the World” campaign. Publically launched in spring 2010 and running through June 30, 2013, the comprehensive $125 million fundraising campaign aims to make Orange County one of the safest and healthiest places for children in the nation. Specifically, the campaign will help CHOC realize its vision of achieving national recognition as a premier children’s hospital by building a state-of-the-art patient care tower, set to open this spring; establishing a substantial endowment to support recruiting more of the world’s top pediatric experts who can drive research and clinical breakthroughs; and building upon the academic and research affiliation with UC Irvine and its School of Medicine to advance innovative treatments and cures for children. The décor was breathtaking walking into the ballroom. Since the gala committee couldn’t bring the event to the new tower, the goal was to bring the beautiful new tower to guests. That was reflected in the decor with a dramatic video wall, spanning the entire length - floor to ceiling - of the ballroom. Taking the stage to honor the Lifetime Achievement Awards was CHOC President and CEO, Kimberly Cripe, who presented the awards to Sister Theresa LaMetterey, CSJ, and Steve Moreau, president and CEO, St. Joseph Hospital. During the presentation, Cripe expressed her deep gratitude for the role the honorees have played in CHOC’s history and in supporting the health and well-being of children and families in Orange County. Dinner was served and guests enjoyed for their first course Butter lettuce salad chevre, orange segments, and pomegranate with citrus vinaigrette. The main course consisted of a Petite filet of beef on potato au gratin with red wine sauce and chimichurri and Maine diver scallops on truffle risotto with Beurre Blanc with Ragout of mushrooms with carrots and Brussel sprouts. Decadent desserts were enjoyed; they were Chocolate salted caramel mousse and red velvet cheesecake. A plethora of items were offered for auction this year, which included a Martha’s Vineyard Hideaway; Angels Ultimate Baseball Fantasy; a trip to Casa Fiesta Zihuatanejo, Mexico, but the auction item yielding the highest bid of $26,000 was a luxury golf vacation on the big island of Hawaii. This year, CHOC raised $900,000 which is up from last year’s total of $600,000. Towards the end of the evening, Cripe announced a $27 million gift from Newport Beach resident and retired businessman Bill Holmes to name the new tower, which opens in the coming weeks. The public celebration will be held on February 2nd, from 1-4 p.m. and if you’d like to attend, visit www.choc.org/celebration for more information. The CHOC Cherishes Children gala was organized by a volunteer committee. Executive committee members include chair Heather Madden; Jill Bolton; Christine Bren, Psy.D.; Kristina Dodge; Kathryn Glassmyer Cenci; David Willis; Marsha Willis; and Monica Furman. Premier underwriters for the gala are Heather and Jim Madden, Harry Winston, and Disneyland Resort. Named one of the best children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report (20122013), CHOC Children’s is exclusively committed to the health and well-being of children through clinical expertise, advocacy, outreach and research that brings advanced treatment to pediatric patients. Affiliated with the University of California, Irvine, CHOC’s regional healthcare network includes two state-of-the-art hospitals in Orange and Mission Viejo, several primary and specialty care clinics, a pediatric residency program, and four centers of excellence - The CHOC Children’s Heart, Neuroscience, Orthopaedic and Hyundai Cancer Institutes.

o other trend has parked itself at the forefront of the culinary world quite like food trucks, but these aren’t the stale doughnut and questionable hotdog stands of yore. From coast to coast, a new generation of chefs has been putting unique cuisines on four wheels. But if you’re not in an urban setting, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on these delectable dishes. To celebrate the phenomenon, CanolaInfo partnered with four food truck chefs/owners representing different U.S. regions to create the Street Eats Recipe Collection, allowing home cooks everywhere to recreate delicious food truck fare. “The economic downturn has driven the street food trend in recent years along with Americans’ love of all things fast and convenient,” says Josh Henderson, owner of Skillet Street Food in Seattle, Wash. “There are all of these wonderful chefs looking for a way to bring their creations to the masses, and now with mobile kitchens, it’s easier than ever. This recipe collection provides yet another way of sharing our love of flavorful foods.” Because of its versatility, canola oil is used in each Street Eats recipe. At 468°F, the smoke point (heat threshold) of canola oil is among the highest of all cooking oils, which means it’s perfect for sautéing and baking. “I use canola oil in my food truck because it can take the heat and has a light texture and neutral flavor,” says Henderson. “From my skillet dishes to my gravy, it is very adaptable, letting other ingredient flavors shine without weighing them down.” Canola oil can also help kick saturated fat to the curb when used in place of solid fat or other oils in recipes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized a qualified health claim on canola oil’s potential to reduce the risk of heart disease when used in place of saturated fat. For the complete Street Eats Recipe collection and list of food truck chefs, visit www.CanolaInfo.org or www.Facebook.com/CanolaInfo.
