Why Do We Celebrate Memorial Day? The History of Memorial Day
by Amanda Austin Memorial Day is more than just a weekend off from work, an excuse to throw a picnic, or a reason to take a weekend trip, it is a national holiday. The history behind Memorial Day seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle throughout the years. With May 27th growing closer, take time to familiarize yourself with the history of Memorial Day, and why we celebrate this holiday. Memorial Day, originally known as “Decoration Day,” was established on May 5 1868 by General John Logan, the national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. The first observation of Memorial Day took place on May 30th 1868, by decorating the graves of fallen Union and Confederate soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery. Here is an excerpt from General Logan’s “General Orders No. 11,” officially declaring “Decoration Day.” “The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city,
village, and hamlet church-yard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.” New York was the first state to officially recognize Memorial Day as a Holiday in 1873, and all of the Northern states had followed suit by 1890. The Southern states didn’t recognize Memorial Day until after World War 1 when it was changed from recognizing soldiers who lost their lives fighting in the Civil War, to soldiers who lost their lives fighting in any war America participated in. The reason that students and employees are given the day off on Memorial Day, is so they can properly
observe the holiday. When the holiday was originally established nationally it was intended to give patrons the opportunity to visit the graves of our fallen soldiers, attend memorials, fly the American flag at half staff until noon, and acknowledge the “National Moment of Remembrance” at 3:00 PM. The “National Moment of Remembrance” is when everyone has a moment of silence and if you are in a public place “Taps” is played. So, this year on Memorial weekend
take a moment to remember why you don’t have to go to work or school. If you are taking a trip with your family, make your rest stop at a memorial or Veteran’s cemetery and observe the men who have fought for our country. If you are having a get together at your home, or attend one at someone else’s home, give a little speech at 3:00 and call for a moment of silence to remind your friends and family why you are all able to get together that weekend.

Memorial Day is great time to celebrate and have fun! We often gather for and plan parties, lunches, events or dinners on this wonderful occasion. It is nice to present our food and drinks on a wonderfully decorated table. If you are hosting such an event, here are some great tips for decorating your table on Memorial Day! My first and favorite choice is the red, white and blue table setting. This is a pretty and colorful way to show your Memorial Day spirit! This table setting idea has many variations that you can choose from! You can use a red table cloth, blue table cloth or white table cloth for this table setting. My favorite is the red table cloth. It does not show spills and stands out. I like to use white plates. If it is an informal gathering or party, white paper plates can be used, though I recommend the plastic plates or sturdiest plates you can find. This will make your guests more comfortable and they will be less likely to spill their plate. Use white napkins. This can be paper napkins or cloth ones. Serve the beverages in blue cups. They can be blue plastic cups or blue glasses. The effect of the white plates, white napkins and blue cups look very nice on a red tablecloth. Add a beautiful basket or vase of red, white and blue carnations in the center of the table. I like to use silk flowers. If you like, you can use real red and white carnations. For an added touch, place small flags in the vase or basket, among the flowers! If you decide to use a blue table cloth, use red or white plates, white napkins and blue or red plastic cups or clear cups or clear glasses. If you use a white table cloth, red plates, white napkins and
blue cups or glasses look wonderful. For silverware, any type can go with this idea, even white plastic. This Memorial Day table setting is easy to set up and very affordable. It looks great! For a Spring like look that is festive and very pretty, use a flowered table cloth. For plates, the color choice is white, napkins can be white and the beverages can be served in clear plastic cups or clear glasses. Use silverware or white plastic ware. A large vase of all different types and colors of flowers look great in the center of this table setting. You can also just use white carnations in a basket. This table setting is colorful, attractive and very easy to do. It is very nice and makes a great Memorial Day table setting, if you do not wish to use the red, white and blue color theme. For an outdoor gathering, a red and white checkered table cloth looks very festive with white plates, white napkins, white plastic ware and red or blue cups or glasses. My preference is using red cups or glasses. I like keeping to the red and white theme on this idea. It looks fancy, yet simple. I add a basket or vase of red and white carnations to the center of the table and it gives the table setting a fun and fancy look. This Memorial
Day table setting is sure to please! Depending on how much money you want to spend, you can find many Memorial Day themed table cloths to buy. Some are flag themed and some are red, white and blue checkers, stripes or a mix. If you use these, use white napkins, white plates, white plastic ware or silverware, and blue cups or blue glasses. Place a basket or vase of white carnations in the center of the table. You can also place small flags in the flower arrangement. This table setting idea is creative and looks great! These Memorial Day table setting ideas are sure to make your holiday table look special. They are very easy to do and cost very little. Your table will look beautiful, festive and fun!

local dentist michael tessier explains how modern dental technology Quickly and easily Whitens teeth Things bleach, or b e c o m e whiter through basically three mechanisms. Chlorine (think swimming pool), an oxidizing Dr. Michael Tessier reaction using any of several peroxides, reducing reactions, and sunlight. The colors in a stain or dye are the result of molecules containing chromophores. Peroxide-type oxidizers contain a weakly bonded pair of oxygen atoms. When the bond breaks, the two relatively reactive oxygen atoms change the chromophores to the extent that they no longer absorb visible light, making whatever the problem substance is appear white. Sunlight changes the chromophores via its reactive photons of the violet or ultraviolet wavelengths. Now, the surfaces of tooth-structure enamel are porous, and these pores are good places for substances containing chromophores to hide. These stain or yellow or make the teeth gray looking. Imagine coffee or cola or tea getting into those pores. When we whiten the teeth, whether
with the one hour Zoom 2 procedure in the office, or the take-home whitening kits where the whitening solution is held against the tooth structure by a custom-fitted clear plastic tray, or even the whitening toothpaste or whitening strips, the peroxide-based active ingredients get into the pores of the enamel to do their chromophorechanging thing, and the teeth return to their original color. The great thing about this kind of tooth whitening is that is doesn’t negatively impact the tooth structure at all. There are some people whose teeth are sensitive after the whitening procedure, but we’ve totally solved that problem. And, when we whiten someone’s teeth, and that person smiles more because they’re no longer embarrassed by their dingy old choppers, they get a free facelift because their previously littleused smile muscles get used more and so tone-up. Please don’t hesitate to call my office if you have any questions about this process, or any other of the modern technologies we can use to make your smile whiter and your day better. Dr. Michael Tessier is located in Los Flores plaza at 28562 Oso Parkway. Most major credit cards and dental plans are cheerfully accepted. Telephone (949) 459-7212.

KSBR Birthday Bash Jazz Festival Announces Line-Up Melissa Manchester Makes Debut Appearance! Saddleback College Radio Station KSBR (88.5 FM) is proud to announce that Grammy Award-winning vocalist Melissa Manchester will be making her debut appearance at this year’s KSBR Birthday Bash Jazz Festival. Among the more than 30 other musicians who will join her are Najee, Paul Brown, Slim Man, Greg Adams, Gregg Karukas, Bill Cantos, Brian Bromberg, Max Bennett, Grace Kelly, and Tony Guerrero. The Birthday Bash takes place on Sunday, May 25, 2014 on the Village Green of Oso Viejo Park in Mission Viejo. As always, there will be very special guests who, because of contractual obligations, cannot be announced until they step on stage. This year there will be at least four “secret” guest artists performing. Previous surprise artists have included Dave Koz, Peter White, Mindi Abair, Patti Austin, Chris Botti, Larry Carlton, Brian Culbertson, Bob James, Boney James, Joe Sample, and Tom Scott. “At most festivals, one band takes the stage, followed by a break, and then another band, and so forth. But at the Bash, headliners leave their bands behind and play together in an all-star musical party,” according to Saddleback College Broadcast Services Director Terry Wedel. The concert is co-sponsored by the City of Mission Viejo. This will be the 26th year of the station’s largest fundraising event, and it celebrates the 35th anniversary of jazz on KSBR (88.5 FM). The Orange County Register named the KSBR Birthday Bash Jazz Festival and Taste of the Bash the Best Nonprofit Gala for 2013 “Best of Orange” County saying, “Jazz radio station KSBR can throw a birthday party. For 25 years, the Saddleback College fundraiser has brought out some of the top names in jazz each spring. This year’s Birthday Bash at Mission Viejo also brought out more than two dozen Orange County restaurants to add flavor.” The event also includes The Taste of the Bash, which features more than 15 local restaurants showing off their finest creations. The Taste is an added value so those purchasing tickets to the concert can enjoy the Taste of the Bash for no additional charge. Some of the restaurants that are confirmed include California Pizza Kitchen in Mission Viejo, Sundried Tomato in San Juan Capistrano, Slater’s 50/50 in Lake Forest, and Cold Stone Creamery in Mission Viejo. Among the wineries at this year’s Bash are
Hamilton Oaks Vineyards, Giesen Estates, and Beach House Winery as well as Cismontane Beer in Rancho Santa Margarita. More restaurants and wineries that will be at the Taste of the Bash can be found at www. ksbr.org. Platinum and Premium Gold VIP guests will be treated to a fine dining experience by Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen in Anaheim, Savannah Chop House in Dana Point, Delizie Ristorante in Mission Viejo, The Ranch Sports Grill in Ladera Ranch, and Vintage Steak House in San Juan Capistrano. It’s a Grind Coffee in Mission Viejo will also be serving coffee. Ricardo’s Place in San Juan Capistrano and Two Guys Grilling from Dana Point will be providing meals for the Bash All-Stars and their families in the Artist’s backstage area. Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Rock N Roll Tequila will also be featured. The event will include a special tribute to Veterans. Saddleback College’s Veterans Memorial is the
most significant tribute to veterans at any community college campus in the nation. In recognition of this event and the role that the college’s VETS (Veterans Education and Transition Services) Center plays in the community, the festivities will include a color guard performance and a special musical tribute to kick off the concert. In addition, veterans and active military personnel may purchase general admission tickets for just $30 through KSBR’s Membership Services office: (949) 582-4501. There will be many raffle items available to win at the Bash including the chance to win a two year lease on an Audi A3 courtesy of Audi Mission Viejo. Proceeds will benefit the Saddleback College Foundation and KSBR. Tickets are $20 each and will be on sale during the Bash with the winner being drawn that evening.

How to Commemorate Memorial Day By Patti Winters The United States has a rich history, and Memorial Day is one of the holidays originated to show our respect for those who have died for it and the many freedoms we enjoy on a daily basis. Memorial Day (originally called Decoration Day) was officially proclaimed in 1868 by General John Logan, and first observed on May 30, 1868 by placing flowers on graves of Civil War soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. Since 1971, Memorial Day has been celebrated on the last Monday of May, to allow for a three day Memorial Day Weekend. Discuss American history with your family. We get so busy with our day to day lives that we often forget to slow down and really think about the reason our national holidays were started. It is important to discuss the pride we have in our country and how we appreciate those that came before us, especially with our children. Buy a poppy from the VFW. Beginning in 1922 the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) took a Dutch and French tradition and began to sell poppies nationally, to raise money for veterans in need. Today these poppies are made my disabled veterans and sold each Memorial Day Weekend. Participate in the “National Moment of Remembrance”, which was started in 2000. This is a resolution asks American citizens to stop anything they may be doing at 3 p.m. local time, and observe a moment of silence.
Show respect for fallen war veterans. Visit cemeteries or war memorials to show your respect. Lay flowers or place flags as a remembrance to what the war veteran has given for his or her country. Many cemeteries have fallen war veterans whose family no longer lives close by. You can “adopt” these grave sites to show that their service has not been forgotten.
“Its your treasured memory, time to custom frame it?” ...Logan We specialize in shadow boxes for sports, military, and textile pieces
Spend quality time with your family and enjoy (and appreciate) the freedom that others have given their lives for. Most cities will have parades and other celebrations. If there isn’t a formal activity that you’re interested in, think of having a picnic or get together with family and friends.
