Pacific Symphony’s much-anticipated performance of Puccini’s “Tosca”
It was a magical evening when more than 165 of Orange County’s most ardent opera supporters gathered last Thursday to celebrate the opening of Pacific Symphony’s much-anticipated performance of Puccini’s “Tosca”—the tempestuous tale of love, deception and political intrigue. Guests arrived at South Coast Plaza dressed in chic attire around 5 p.m. and were treated to a pre-concert champagne reception held in the Bulgari boutique. Perusing the dazzling displays of jewelry, some just admired, while others took home a glittering piece or two. Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti collection garnered much attention. Following the reception, guests were ushered a short distance away to an elegant dinner held in Jewel Court. The intimate affair, hosted by Bulgari, South Coast Plaza and the Symphony, was nestled inside a giant navy-draped space in the middle of Jewel Court, with metallic forest-green tables beautifully adorned with gardenia and magnolia floral centerpieces and a multitude of candles. Guests were welcomed by Symphony President John Forsyte and Bulgari’s North American President Alberto Festa, as they dined on rucola salada, followed by sumptuous swordfish puttanesca, polenta and asparagus, complemented by fine Italian wines. The meal concluded with assorted Italian cookies and sweets, including juicy chocolate-dipped strawberries. The dinner was of course a prequel to the Symphony’s second semistaged opera production, “Tosca”—full of passionate and beautiful music—taking place across from South Coast Plaza in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, where everyone soon headed for an 8 p.m. performance. “Opera always brings out the best in everyone,” says Gary Good, the Symphony’s senior executive for special campaigns and major gifts. “From time to time we all enjoy a spectacle, an escape from our daily lives. Bulgari, South Coast Plaza, our magnificent Pacific Symphony, Carl St.Clair and our talented
cast provided us all with a magical evening—one we will all long remember.” The new opera-vocal initiative “Symphonic Voices” launched last season with three sold-out nights of another Puccini blockbuster, “La Bohème,” all in an effort to bring opera back to Orange County following the loss of Opera Pacific. Inspired by Music Director Carl St.Clair’s successful career as an opera conductor in Europe, the Symphony once again took the music out of the pit and onto the stage to reveal the composer’s brilliant orchestration, which painted the scenery and emotion behind the tragic tale. Sung in Italian with English supertitles, the production featured a cast of worldrenowned opera singers, Pacific Chorale Claire Rutter (as Tosca) wears Bulgari necklace and earrings, Brian Jagde and the Southern California Children’s (Cavaradossi) Chorus, inventive staging and set design that, as the drama unfolded, left the audience wowed and in awe. The magnificent cast of voices included soprano Claire Rutter as Tosca, tenor Brian Jagde as Cavaradossi, baritone George Gagnidze as Scarpia, bass-baritone Ryan Kuster as Angelotti, tenor Dennis Petersen as Spoletta, bass Michael Gallup as Sacristan, baritone Ralph Cato as Sciarrone and baritone Emmanuel Miranda as the Jailer. For the Symphony’s production, the diva Tosca wore a necklace and earrings set by Bulgari valued at $1,000,000, with sapphires, peridots, milky quartzes and round brilliant cut diamonds set in white gold. At intermission, dinner guests were invited to enjoy a private reception in the Box Circle Club located on the second floor of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. And immediately following the concert, guests returned for a post-concert reception featuring dessert, champagne and an opportunity to mingle with some of the Symphony’s talented musicians and members of the “Tosca” cast.

Get kids growing in the garden by starting them off planting their own strawberries. You can let them plant and care for a whole patch, or just one or two plants, planted in a strawberry jar or garden container. Be sure to engage your kids in the planting process and let them get their hands dirty. Then show them how to care for and water their home-grown tasty treats. You can make this more fun for children by buying them their very own watering can. Don’t forget to show kids how to pinch off plant runners to reap larger sized berries. And of course have them do the harvesting and enjoy the fruits of their labor! You’ll find most kids enjoy helping in the garden, they’re allowed to get dirty, they get some good exercise, actually learn and understand, first hand, where their food comes from and they’ll gain a good sense of nurture, nature and responsibility within the process. Children love watching strawberries grow, they’ll see flowers bloom, garden bees, and fruit develop and turn color. After developing a sense of ownership of their plants, they will especially love eating the sweet fruits they grew themselves. Here’s some tips to ensure strawberry success: *When planting strawberries, be sure the crown is above soil level and the upper most roots are 1/4 inch beneath soil level, buried crowns rot and exposed roots dry out. *Use mulch to keep berries clean, conserve moisture and control weeds. If planting in the garden, set plants 2-3 feet apart and let runners fill in until
plants are 7-10 inches apart. *If you want to keep it simple plant strawberries in a container. Just remember that container plantings need much more water than in-ground plantings, usually once a day; and if it’s hot, twice. Strawberry pots are the obvious, best container choice for growing strawberries. You can fit several plants in one pot; just make sure whatever type of garden pot you use has good drainage. *Strawberries like well drained fairly rich soil, so be sure to add compost or other organic matter when preparing the pot or patch. *They need full sun, and frequent, deep soakings. Be sure to give adequate water during bearing season. They will grow in all zones and should be fed twice a year -- when growth begins and after the first crop. Use a complete fertilizer high in phosphorous for feedings. Choosing Strawberry Plants – There are four different types of strawberry plants, June bearing,
everbearing, day neutral and alpine. Bonnie Plants, the largest producer of veggies and herbs in the U.S., with 65 growing stations across the country, regionally serving 48 states, offers strawberry plants at your local garden retailer. Use transplants- they’re easier than seed and the growing process will take less time. For more info and tips on growing strawberries please visit www.bonnieplants.com. Strawberries are one of the easiest and best home garden fruits for kids to grow. They’ll produce fruit throughout the summer and children will love to pluck them right off the plant, wash and eat! If your kids have yet to plant and care for a fruit or vegetable, strawberries are a perfect choice for their first gardening experience. Kick off this gardening season with your kids and get them growing strawberries!

Mormon Professor-Author Gives Presentation on Mormon Beliefs by John K. Skousen Presented March 1, 2013 from 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Newport Beach Stake Center (chapel), 2150 Bonita Canyon Road, Newport Beach, CA (chapel next to LDS Newport Beach Temple) Public interest regarding Mormons and their beliefs increased significantly during the recent presidential election when Mitt Romney was nominated as the Republican candidate for the 2012 election for the U.S. Presidency, and during the Republican primaries in 2008. The Broadway musical, “The Book of Mormon,” which presents a parody of organized religion and traditional musical theatre, has also raised interest regarding Mormon beliefs specifically. The Newport Beach Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is hosting a special presentation by Dr. Robert L. Millet regarding “What Mormons Really Believe.” Seeing these continuing developments in politics and drama and the host of articles in the media addressing many facets of Mormon beliefs, culture, and their impact on business and society, local church leaders saw this as a great opportunity to
host an event in Orange County. “Almost everyone is interested in Mormons,” states Joseph Bentley, former Regional Public Relations Director for the LDS Church. Bentley and David Silva, the Stake President for the Newport Beach Stake of the LDS Church, worked with church volunteers to organize the event, and Millet was the top pick for the presentation. Although Millet is a long-time member of the LDS faith, with bachelors and masters degrees from BYU, he went outside BYU and received his Ph.D from Florida State University in Religious Studies. He is the former Dean of Religious Education at Brigham Young University. Bentley adds, “Dr. Millet may be the most prolific author in the LDS Church, having authored more than 60 books and 170 articles; yet, many of his books are directed to helping all Christians, both evangelicals and Catholics, understand Mormon beliefs.” Bentley continues, “Most of his last 20 years have been spent building bridges of friendship and understanding with other Christian sects.” Bentley concludes, “Bob’s presentation, with his characteristic sense of humor, will show who we really are.” The presentation will provide a

candid view of what Mormon’s believe. Dr. Millet has been active in promoting discussions regarding the Mormon view of the nature of God, the nature of fallen humanity, the work of the atonement, the role of grace and works, deification, the trinity, the status of scripture, creeds, and the place of religious authority. In the interfaith context, Dr. Millet has expressed that his efforts explaining Mormon beliefs are “undertaken in a spirit of openness (knowing that we really can learn something from the other); sincerity (knowing that only through honesty, transparency, and trust can genuine progress be made); and love (knowing that only as we seek to see and feel toward the other something of what the Master sees and feels are we prepared to minister meaningfully to one another).” Although this presentation will touch upon common topics in the interfaith dialog, the event is designed to provide insight to attendees merely seeking to broaden their understanding of the foundational beliefs of the Mormons. The presentation will include a period for questions and
answers. After the presentation, attendees will be able to engage in a selfguided tour of the Newport Beach Stake Center, including the variety of artwork illustrating the life of Christ and related themes. The Orange County event will be held at the Newport Beach Stake Center, located at 2150 Bonita Canyon Road, Newport Beach, next to the Newport Beach Temple.
loCal denTisT dr. miChael Tessier shoWs paTienTs hoW To enJoy Their donuTs and sTill Keep Their TeeTh and Gums in Good shape “Everyone past the age of ten already knows that the residues from donuts, cakes, candies and those sugary drinks are going to be on the teeth all day, making cavities” says popular local dentist Dr. Michael Tessier .But rather than giving his patients along lecture and wagging his finger at them ,the good doctor often surprises them by offering them yet another sweet treat, saying “Here, try this instead .At my office, we also have a Tic-Tac- like sucky candy that is sweetened with xylitol, which coats the tooth surfaces with a decay-resistant biofilm. We highly recommend that for our patients going through orthodontic tooth straightening, or for anyone who is genetically pre-disposed to tooth decay.” Dr. Tessier adds; “Most people with busy lives find choosing the very best nutritious food is hard to do and sometimes we give in to the temptation of enjoying a doughnut instead of an apple or more nutritious fruit. Treating tooth decay today is nowhere near as onerous as it was when I was a kid. Most cavities can be filled using modern 21st century technology rather than the dreaded drill. 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 in the space of a few minute visits; the patient is free of pain. Modern technology at its best! Regular visits to the dental office for tooth cleaning and routine inspections will prevent serious conditions from developing in your mouth and guarantee a long and happy relationship with your teeth. If you sometimes give in to a sweet-tooth temptation, don’t worry. For Tessier and his team of happy dental assistants are always there to save the day! As Dr. Tessier says,” I’m a Grandpa, and it is my duty, my prerogative to take my little guys out for a do-nut on occasion. But only on the weekend and only when they’ve also had something nutritious to eat. Please call my office at (949)-459-7212. If you need more information on this subject, or need to make an appointment. Dr. Michael Tessier’s Office is located at 28562 Oso at the intersection of Oso and Antonio parkway down the walkway from Starbucks and the do-nut shop- how ironic.

SWALLOWS, AND ST. JOSEPH’S DAY, FAST APPROACHING When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano” is more than a legendary song written decades ago, it’s a goal of Mission San Juan Capistrano’s. The birthplace of Orange County is getting ready for its annual St. Joseph’s Day and the Return of the Swallows celebration on March 19, a time which the swallows will be welcomed back to what has been a spring and summer home for so many of the birds for hundreds of years. Urbanization has resulted in fewer sightings of the birds during their annual migration from Argentina each spring in recent years. But cliff swallows expert Dr. Charles Brown came up with an idea last year that is making a difference. Under Brown’s direction, the Mission established a vocalization project that lures the swallows back to the Mission. The project involves speakers playing cliff swallow courtship calls that are placed behind the statue of Father Junipero Serra on the Mission grounds. The project proved successful last year after the onset of the program. After the recordings began to be played, cliff swallows were spotted feeding overhead at the Mission several times, and a few cliff swallows flew in to investigate the recorded sounds. “The recording is of courtship songs
that males use to attract females,” Dr. Brown said. “And males would be attracted too because they are very social birds. A systematic program of playing it a few times a day, when the weather is good and during the times they would be foraging, I think there’s a good chance they will come in. “I think if we keep trying long enough, eventually, some individuals will come by, they’ll see the Mission and they will realize it’s a good place to nest, as they did in the past.” The project this year begins on March 1. They built it, now come watch the swallows return to Capistrano. Known as the “Jewel of the Missions,” Mission San Juan Capistrano is a historic landmark and museum that boasts of quality permanent exhibits featuring original artifacts as well as traveling and temporary exhibits on a wide variety of topics. The site itself serves as a living outdoor museum with original buildings constructed by Native Americans in the 18th century including the Serra Chapel, Great Stone Church, and the original padres’ quarters of the South Wing. The Mission was founded on November 1, 1776 by Padre Junipero Serra as the seventh in the chain of the twenty-one California missions established by Spain, and is Orange
County’s only mission. Every year, over 50,000 students visit the Mission and engage in an inspirational learning experience via the Mission Matters programming, as part of their State required California history studies. Mission San Juan Capistrano is owned by the Diocese of Orange and is supported by the Mission Preservation Foundation, which is comprised of business and community leaders committed to ensuring the long term preservation and viability of Orange County’s only Mission. The Mission receives no funding from either the Church or the State
of California and charges admission funds as a means of providing public access. Mission San Juan Capistrano is located at 26801 Ortega Highway, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675. Open Daily 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Good Friday afternoon. Admission is $9 adults; $8 seniors (60 years or over); $6 children (ages 4 to 11); and children ages 3 and under are admitted free. Free audio guide with senior and adult admission.

Introduction To Racing Sailboats By Preston Barrows You may wish to test your sailing ability in competition with others once you have become proficient in the basic sailing methods and have acquired an under standing of faster sailing techniques. In a properly organized event racing your boat provides an exciting hobby which can rapidly become a way of life, and it is also one of the most effective incentives for improving your sailing. Most races are normally organized through sailing clubs, at a local level, and by class associations, on a wider level, so anyone interested in taking up racing should first join a club. If you do not have a boat, you should be careful to join a club which provides the type of sailing that you wish to participate in, and accepts the type of boat that you may eventually wish to buy. If you already own a boat that you wish to race, you must find a club which will accept your boat and which provides racing for boats in that class. It is always sensible to contact the secretary first, when considering joining a club as he can give you all the information you need and can also help you find a proposer and seconder. Racing at national and club levels is usually organized according to a
handicap system or the design or class of. Courses are designed to test the sailors’ skills on various point of sailing and are laid out by the racing officials. You need to consider how you can give yourself the best chance of winning having decided to start to race your boat by making sure that you and your boat are prepared properly. As with many of the other sports, success at racing, is largely the result of careful attention to detail. By spending time practicing all the faster sailing techniques your performance will benefit. You must also make sure that you are getting the best out of your boat by seeing that it is in peak condition before a race and experimenting with adjustments to the rig. To a newcomer to sailing competitions often seem totally bewildering, so understanding the racing rules is essential. It take a gread deal of experience to master them completely but every beginner should make himself familiar with a few basic principles as a foundation for building a more complete knowledge. Boats for racing There are no strict rules governing what boats are suitable for racing; you can find competitions for almost any type of boat but most people in-
terested in competitive sailing choose a high performance boat, However, most races, other than handicap events, are limited to certain classes of boats or within certain design specifications. This ensures that only boats of similar performance potential are competing. If you already own a boat you want to race it is necessary to get your boat measured and given a class certificate by your club or class association, in order to make sure that it fully conforms to the class regulations,. If you are going to buy a new boat, you will have to decide what sort of class you wish to sail in. Design classes The rules laid down by class associations vary. Some only accept restricted development ones whilst others accept strict one-design
classes. In the latter, only boats built to an identical design are accepted whereas in the former they only have to conform to broad rules on hull length and rig. With a one-design class, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that it was due to your superior sailing ability if you win. However, very few boats are strictly one-design, the majority have a variation in fittings and allow maximum and minimum measurements, known as tolerances. Restricted development classes provide the greatest scope for a racing enthusiast, who is also interested in boat-building and design, to improve his boat. Many design innovations have originated from these classes.
The Five Essentials of Sailing By Rena Sandou Do you love sailing? Who doesn’t? Today, sailing is more popular than ever. Everybody needs a break, a way to escape from every day routine and anxiety. Every year, more people discover the benefits of sailing; a passionate experience that will fulfil even the most demanding needs. Sailing can be a dream but can also become a torture if no essential knowledge is attained. There are five essentials of sailing that hold the secret to the knowledge and understanding of different skills and techniques. 1) Balance is a necessity Heeling is inevitable when sailing. That means your sailboat will tilt over to one side according to the wind or wave pressure. Heeling does no good as it loses speed and gets off course. Measures have to be taken to keep it steady. - Use the wheel to steer the boat in the desired direction. - Raise the centreboard achieving latitude enhancing. - Loose the sail to eliminate wind pressure. - Change the sail’s shape to minimize wind force. - Turn the boat to the direction the Page 8
wind blows. - For small boats, the crew can move to the side where the wind blows, changing the gravity centre and keeping the boat straight. 2) a. Sail setting To manoeuvre the sail you have to set its angle towards the wind. In order to achieve that, you must efficiently learn to control the sheet. When it is too loose, the sailboat will shake under the wind pressure. Pull the sheet to the point where the waving stops. b. Lessening sail This is a major safety feature of sailing. You have to control sail in order to go along with the wind. If the wind is strong, lessen the sail. You can also change the sail area by lowering the sail and bonding its lower part, a manoeuvre called reefing. By reefing, you make your boat sail steady with no balance loss keeping in the right course. 3) Right course To enjoy every moment of your sailing experience, choose the best course. Draw an imaginary line between two distances. Try to make it short and quick considering every possible obstacle. 4) Fore And Aft Trim
The Ladera Ranch News
Your quests can turn out to be a precious help. You have to learn how to evenly distribute the weight of your crew. Relocating them depending on the wind’s direction is the basic notion. You can move forward towards the wind or downwards when the wind blows behind you. Doing that, you can accomplish a better balance of your sailboat. Of course, this works better with small boats. When it comes to fore and aft trim, size does matter!
5) Centreboard In case of a leeway (when your boat is being pushed on either side by the wind pressure) you can use the centreboard to hold onto the water. Lift it up when the wind blows from behind and lower it when you sail towards the course of the wind. You want to become a master in sailing? Follow these rules and enjoy an unforgettable experience. Remember, safety comes first!

Orange County Community Foundation Honors Community Leaders
Human Options CEO Vivian Clecak with Anne Swayne Keir
Dr. Victoria Collins with Orange County Community Foundation President Shelley Hoss
The Orange County Community Foundation proudly recognizes outstanding community leaders for their dedication to nonprofit causes that exceed all boundaries and expectations. The Judith Swayne Leadership Award was bestowed upon Human Options CoFounder/CEO Vivian Clecak at their recent annual meeting and Power-Packed Philanthropist awardees include financial advisor Dr. Victoria Collins, education advocates Gerry and Diane Aust, Laura’s House supporter Laura Khouri and Pacific Marine Mammal Center founder John Cunningham. Orange County Community Foundation donor Anne Swayne Keir presented Vivian Clecak with the Judith Swayne Leadership Award in front of hundreds of guests at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel during their annual meeting. Under Clecak’s dynamic leadership, Human Options has assisted over 83,000 women and children to escape abusive relationships over the past 30 years and works diligently with the community to end the cycle of domestic violence. Her honor came with a $5,000 grant to Human Options. At a recent reception hosted by Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Dr. Victoria Collins was recognized with a Power-Packed Philanthropist award for a lifetime of dedication to local causes serving children, families, women and Orange County’s arts community. The $500 grant that accompanied her award was directed to Human Options. Upon presenting the award prior to Collins, Community Foundation President Tustin Public Schools Foundation volunteers Gerry and Diane Aust with Shelley Hoss said, “Dr. Collins exemplifies the best of the head and heart of philan- Jeff Swanson, Orange County Community Foundation thropy with her generous investment of time, talent, commitment and compassion over the years.” Gerry and Diane Aust received their Power-Packed award at Tustin Public School Foundation’s State of the Schools breakfast. The Austs’ service and leadership to the Tustin Unified School District spans more than four decades and the couple served on the inaugural “Dinosaur Dash” committee. Now in in its 23rd year, the fundraiser has gone on to raise more than $3 million for Tustin schools. Tustin Public Schools Foundation executive director Carol Burby Garrett said, “Gerry and Diane are role models for both educators and the entire community. They are extremely generous with their time and resources, which has benefitted hundreds of Tustin students and families over many years.” Laura Khouri is president of Western National Property Management, but gives her time generously to advance the mission of Laura’s House; an emergency shelter, transitional housing and resource center for victims of domestic violence. Khouri was honored at their annual gala at the Newport Beach Marriott and designated her $500 grant to Laura’s House. “Laura Khouri is the epitome of a Power-Packed Pacific Marine Mammal Center founder John Philanthropist as seen in Cunningham at work in Laguna Beach her commitment to Laura’s House,” said Margaret R.

Laura Khouri with Laura’s House Board Chair Wayne Pinnell and CEO Margaret Baystone which inspires others to give a refreshing sense of hope to those suffering from domestic violence.” Pacific Marine Mammal Center founder John Cunningham was presented with a Power-Packed Philanthropist award at Tivoli Too in Laguna Beach. He was honored for his dedication to his students, community, local marine life and their habitat. As a Laguna Beach lifeguard, John saw the need to protect the public and aid marine mammals that became stranded on local beaches. With assistance of fellow lifeguard, Jim Stauffer, founding “Friends of the Sea Lion” in 1971 later become Pacific Marine Mammal Center. His $500 gift from the Orange County Community Foundation supports Pacific Marine Mammal Center. Since 1989, the Orange County Community Foundation has worked with generous donors and businesses to grant $225 million to meet needs in Orange County, across the nation, and around the world – with $190 million granted in the last decade alone. OCCF works with local philanthropists, nonprofits and business leaders to build a brighter Orange County. For more information, visit www.oc-cf.org or call 949-553-4202.

Broadway Star Betty Buckley Appears in Segerstrom Center Cabaret Series Star of stage, screen and television, actress and singer Betty Buckley closes Segerstrom Center’s 2012-13 Cabaret Series May 16 – 18 in Samueli Theater. Buckley will perform song standards as well as selections from her recent album, Ah, Men! The Boys of Broadway, which features hits from West Side Story, Annie Get Your Gun, The Fantasticks, La Cage aux Folles, Roberta, Sweeney Todd and many others. And, in the inimitable Buckley fashion, she will charm audiences with whimsical behind-the-scenes stories from her exciting career. Daily Variety notes, “With a range that glides from a heartbreaking warble to an unabashed belt, Buckley stands comfortably as one of the most versatile, original vocalists on Broadway or anywhere else.” She will be accompanied by pianist John McDaniel. Tickets for Betty Buckley are $72 and now available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746. Betty Buckley, who has been called “The Voice of Broadway,” is one of musical theater’s most respected and legendary leading ladies. But she is an actress/singer whose career spans theater, film, television and concert. For a career filled with triumphs, Buckley was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame in 2012. Buckley won a Tony Award® for her performance as Grizabella, the Glamour Cat, in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s CATS. She received her second Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a musical for her performance as Hesione in Triumph of Love and an Olivier Award nomination for her critically acclaimed interpretation of Norma Desmond in the London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard, which she repeated to more rave reviews on Broadway. Her other Broadway credits include 1776, Pippin, Song and Dance, The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Carrie. Off-Broadway credits include White’s Lies, Lincoln Center’s Elegies, the original NYSF production of Edwin Drood, The Eros Trilogy and Juno Swans. She has performed leading roles in Gypsy, Threepenny Opera, Camino Real, Buffalo Gal and Arsenic and Old Lace. Buckley starred in the London production of Dear World in 2013 and in Promises, Promises. In films, Buckley co-starred in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening, in Brian de Palma’s Carrie, Bruce Beresford’s Tender Mercies, Roman Polanski’s Frantic, Woody Allen’s Another Woman and Lawrence Page 14
Kasden’s Wyatt Earp. On television, Buckley appeared in The Pacific for HBO and twice on the Kennedy Center Honors. She also starred for three seasons in the HBO series Oz and as Abby Bradford in the hit series Eight is Enough. Buckley has guest starred in numerous television series, miniseries and films for television including Evergreen, Roses for the Rich, Without a Trace, Law & Order: SVU, and Pretty Little Liars. Buckley has 15 CDs to her credit, among them Bootleg: Boardmixes From the Road, Quintessence, Betty Buckley 1967 and the Grammy-nominated Stars and the Moon. She received her second Grammy nomination for the audio book The Diaries of Adam and Eve. Her newest CD, Ah, Men! The Boys of Broadway was released by Palmetto Records
The Ladera Ranch News
in August 2012. Ghostlight, produced by T Bone Burnett, will be released in 2014, also on Palmetto Records. Conductor, composer, orchestrator, record producer, Grammy and two-time Emmy Award winner John McDaniel is Buckley’s accompanist for her Center engagement. For six years he was the bandleader for The Rosie O’Donnell Show. He wrote the show’s theme song and received five Emmy nominations for Outstanding Music Direction and Composition. On the show, he worked with such artists as Tony Bennett, Dick Van Dyke, Bette Midler, Neil Diamond, Dolly Parton, Liza Minnelli, Barry Manilow, Chaka Kahn and Madonna. McDaniel made his debut as a producer on Broadway with Brooklyn, the Musical in 2004. He also was the supervising music director, handled
the arrangements and orchestrations and produced the top selling live cast recording. The show ran for 10 months on Broadway and later enjoyed a national tour. Recent Broadway shows include Bonnie & Clyde, for which McDaniel did the orchestrations. He received a Drama Desk nomination for Best Orchestrations and produced the cast recording. He was also the music director for the Tony-nominated Catch Me If You Can. McDaniel made his operatic conducting debut in 2011 with Daughter of the Regiment at the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. His own opera, titled Pirates, for which he created arrangements and orchestrations, played in his hometown at Saint Louis Muny Opera in 2012.

Ladera Ranch Elementary School Wins Food Bank’s Hunger Challenge
Smart Siamese seeking new home
Principal Dr. Amy Bryant, left, receives the school’s award.
Ladera Ranch Elementary School (LRES) was recently named a 2012 Schools Against Hunger challenge winner by the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. LRES and their families won the trophy by donating 2,442 pounds of food, which equates to more than 2,035 meals for those in need. “This is a positive for the food bank and families in need,” Lorina Smith, a food resource coordinator at Second Harvest Food Bank, said. “At the same time, we want to teach students the intrinsic value of getting involved in the community to alleviate hunger.” LRES won the trophy by donating more than 17 other elementary schools participating in the challenge. Since 2003, LRES has donated nearly 15,000 pounds of food, creating nearly 12,500 meals. “We are very proud of the charitable spirit that exists in our community,” LRES Principal Dr. Amy Bryant said.

Sullivan is a gorgeous 1 ½-year-old seal point Siamese who is looking for a new home. Like most Siamese cats, Sullivan is highly intelligent. In fact, it’s been said that Siamese are the most intelligent of all domesticated cats. Because of this, Sullivan is very lively and tends to be a bit demanding. He needs a lot of activity and play time to keep his mind focused. Since his play tends to get a bit rough, Sullivan would do well in a home without young children and no other cats. He would thrive with a family that adores his beautiful blue eyes and playful antics. To see this loving cat and the other animals available for adoption, visit the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center at 28095 Hillcrest. For more information, call 949-470-3045 or visit cmvas.org.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE
TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.
