Spring cleaning? Take some ‘me time’ and spring clean your beauty routine Most spring cleaning chores focus on freshening up your home for the season, but what about your beauty routine? Every woman deserves a bit of “me-time” during spring cleaning season. This year, why not take on a task that’s all about making you look and feel beautiful? “We all have those items in our makeup bag that are past the expiration date, nearly used up, or just out of style,” says Teni Panosian, the writer of missmaven.com and beauty expert for the EcoTools Beauty Team. “Spring is the perfect time to cut bathroom beauty clutter, replace overly used beauty tools and add pops of color to your makeup look to start fresh.” To ensure your beauty routine is as fresh and bright as the season, follow these spring cleaning tips: * De-clutter the bathroom vanity. Most women have certain beauty items that always sit out on the bathroom vanity. Sort through the clutter and set aside items you don’t use daily. Everyday items like your favorite moisturizer or go-to mascara can stay displayed in a nice vanity tray, but all remaining items should be stored under the cabinet until they are needed. Tidy and organize your Page 4

makeup brushes by using a pouch with lots of pockets, such as the Collector’s Brush Roll from EcoTools, a leader in eco-conscious beauty, bath and hair accessories. Made from recycled material, the eye-catching roll provides spaces for all of your favorite makeup brushes, and rolls up for easy, space-saving storage. * Discard expired or nearly gone makeup. Compacts with just a bit of powder left in them, nail polish and liquid foundation that have dried out everyone has makeup leftovers that need to go. Take a few minutes to sort through your collection and discard used-up cosmetics. Pay attention to expiration dates, too. Makeup does not last forever and can harbor bacteria that can lead to skin or eye irritation. Likewise, it is important to replace worn out makeup brushes and other beauty tools. * Don’t forget about your purse. Spring cleaning doesn’t stop at the vanity. Clean out your purse this season, too! When on the go, make sure to bring along brushes that save on space and multi-task, such as 2-in-1 makeup brushes with bristles on both sides. Perfect for travel is the Mini Essentials Set that performs

The Ladera Ranch News

just as well as larger tools but takes up much less space in your travel bag. * Update your bath essentials. Spring is the perfect time to replace that bath pouf you’ve used all winter - they should be replaced every 30 days! Make this a clean habit year-round by setting a calendar reminder to replace your body poufs each month. Relegate shower gels with holiday scents like plum and cranberry to the linen closet, and update your shower gel selection with scents more appropriate for spring, such as light floral scents and bright citrusy aromas. * Seasonal cleanup pointers. Remember to clean makeup brushes on a regular basis (once a week depending on usage) with makeup brush cleaner, baby shampoo or gentle dish soap and water. Make sure to lay brushes flat to dry or hang with the bristles facing down to ensure water does not fall in the space connecting the bristles with the handle, causing the glue to dissolve and shedding to

occur. Replace heavier moisturizers with lighter, oil-free options that also include sunscreen. Trade in dark lip stains for lighter barely there glosses or balms that are more appropriate for spring. “Spring cleaning your beauty routine can help you look and feel great all season long,” Panosian says. “When you’re organized and fresh, it’s easy to let your confidence shine through.” To learn more about EcoTools, visit www.ecotools.com.

locAl denTIsT dr. MIcHAel TessIer eXplAIns neWesT denTAl TecHnologY I had a conversation with a patient the other day, an eighty-five year old doctor (retired). We were discussing how, when, in the 1960’s I was a hospital corpsman in Dr. Michael Tessier the Navy and he was an established physician, we were just starting to use new needles on every patient, as opposed to re-sharpening old ones. The old way sounds so barbaric. That got me thinking about the other things we do today to make dental work easier and better. Thirty-seven years ago, while in dental school, there was nothing that bonded to tooth structure. Today we can bond a 0.75mm thick porcelain veneer to the front surface of a tooth, dramatically improving its appearance while removing a lot less tooth structure. The old analogue x-rays required some nasty chemicals for development. Today, digital x-rays go right into the computer, where they can be e-mailed to anywhere in the world. The definition is dramatically better, and the amount of radiation they expose the patient to is way less than walking around in the sun. We also take digital panographic x-rays which are totally extra-oral, and show a complete picture of, say, the wisdom teeth and surrounding tissues, or any bone abnormalities like cysts or even bone cancer in the jaws that regular x-rays don’t pick up.

I wear a battery-powered headlight that gives me better illumination than I’ve ever had before (no more working in the dark). For smaller cavities, we use a sandblaster istead fo the drill. No anesthetic is required, and there’s no heat of friction which otherwise might result in fractured teeth in years to come. Replacing missing teeth is still done with fixed tooth-colored porcelain bridges (don’t come out) bridges made of toothcolored porcelain and have no unsightly or irritating external hardware. Alternatively, implants are as close to 100% reliable as anything ever is, they don’t involve the teeth on either side of the missing tooth. Frequently, where a root canal on a questionable tooth used to be the only option, now that offender is removed and replaced with an implant. We’ve been using a laser for the past six years to treat gum problems. The old way of using a knife to cut the gums and peel them off the bone to fix a defect in the boney socket in which a tooth is situated was very painful for about seven to ten days after the procedure. Today, the laser allows us to avoid the knife and sutures and the post-operative pain, and we can actually expect the gum tissue to re-attach to the tooth structure. Dental work keeps getting easier, and the results keep getting better. Don’t hesitate to call (949-459 -7212) my office for a complimentary consultation appointment if you have any questions. My office is located at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Pkwysi (28562 Oso Parkway). Down the way from the carwash and Starbucks.

SKIES SIZZLE AND CRACKLE WITH FIREWORKS AND THE MAGIC OF MUSIC AS PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S 2014 SUMMER FESTIVAL GETS UNDERWAY

Summer is just around the corner and families are already thinking about packing picnics and heading out to Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine for five musicinfused evenings under the stars with Pacific Symphony. Presented by Mercedes-Benz, the Symphony’s 2014 Summer Festival explodes with the annual July 4th extravaganza, featuring Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and a brilliant fireworks finale. Then it’s on to classic Americana for “Gershwin Greats,” featuring guest pianist Jeffrey Biegel, soprano Angela Brown and bass Kevin Deas. Next, it’s the the magnificent repertoire of Disney “Fantasia”: Live in Concert from the original 1940 version and “Fantasia 2000,” performed live as Disney’s stunning footage is shown on the big screen. The fourth concert delivers the silky smooth sounds of saxophone superstar Kenny G, before the Symphony concludes the season with an OC tradition: “Tchaikovsky Spectacular,” which this year features guest pianist Jon Nakamatsu, and, of course, breathtaking cannons and fireworks during the “1812 Overture.” “This year, the Symphony’s summer really delivers and is a perfect way to launch our 2014-15 season and my 25th anniversary with the orchestra,” says Music Director Carl St.Clair. “From Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to the best of Gershwin to a Disney classic to saxophone icon Kenny G. Plus, the season concludes on a traditional note, with our annual ‘Tchaikovsky Spectacular,’ which I will be conducting—there’s something for everyone. It’s sure to be an exciting summer filled with music that enchants, inspires and elates. Unforgettable melodies, fireworks and great fun under our perfect summer skies—we’ve got it all.” Five-concert subscriptions range from $99-$480 with luxury season packages also available. Single

tickets are $25-$105 and go on sale May 18. With the purchase of an adult subscription, kids under 14 come free in selected price levels. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. Summer Festival 2014 is made possible by supporting sponsor, Orange County Register, and media sponsors K-Earth 101, KPCC, KUSC and PBS SoCal. “The Pacific Symphony Summer Festival concerts at Verizon have always been among my favorite experiences conducting the orchestra,” says Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman. “It’s not only a musical experience, but also a chance to enjoy hearing incredible music under the stars in a truly beautiful outdoor environment. The musicians love the opportunity to make music in such an inspiring venue, and it always shows in the way they bring such excitement and passion to each summer performance.” Get ready to swing with a contemporary twist! The Symphony, led by Kaufman, opens the summer season with a July 4th celebration featuring the swing revival band from Southern California—Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. America’s favorite big band joins Pacific Symphony to resurrect the high-energy swing rhythms of the 1940s and ’50s on Friday, July 4, at 8 p.m. Snapping fingers and tapping toes accompany the performance of hits from multi-platinum records including “Go Daddy-O” and “Mr. Pinstripe Suit.” Plus, Fourth-of-July traditions, including a salute to the U.S. Armed Forces and a brilliant fireworks finale kick off the summer festival. “I’ve known about Big Bad Voodoo Daddy for many years, and I’m thrilled that they will bring their special brand of music and entertainment to our July 4th celebration,” says Maestro

Kaufman. “Don’t let the name fool you! This group presents the sound of American music in an exciting and creative way that will have the whole audience singing along and dancing at their seats.” I got rhythm! Summer patrons sway to some of the greatest works of George Gershwin, when Maestro St.Clair leads the Symphony for the first concert of his 25th anniversary season featuring guest pianist Jeffrey Biegel, soprano Angela Brown and bass Kevin Deas. Relax with this program of classic Americana, featuring some of the most popular and best-known Gershwin works ever written—from the jazz-filled melodies of “Rhapsody in Blue” to the timeless sounds of “An American in Paris” to the groundbreaking “Porgy and Bess.” This concert takes place Sunday, July 20, at 7:30 p.m. Family night! The orchestra brings to life the music of Disney “Fantasia”: Live in Concert from the original 1940 version and “Fantasia 2000,” performed live as Disney’s stunning footage is shown on the big screen— on Saturday, Aug. 9, at 8 p.m. The cherished musical moments of both films fill the amphitheater as scenes from the movies play on a big screen overhead, giving concertgoers a truly unique multimedia experience. The program includes “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker” Suite. Maestro Kaufman leads this magical evening. This presentation is licensed by Disney Concert Library © Disney. “Like many people, I heard some of my first classical music when I saw and heard ‘Fantasia,’” says Kaufman. “The combination of extraordinary animation and storytelling, along with some of the most wonderful orchestral music ever written, will make for a unique and magical night under the stars. Walt Disney was

beyond innovative in his decades of creativity, and the idea of ‘Fantasia’ was one that remains iconic in both the film and music world. It’s a show for all ages, and a great way to introduce younger people to classical music while having a great time.” Date night! Romantic saxophone sensation Kenny G returns to Pacific Symphony (debuting with the orchestra in February 2013) on Saturday, Aug. 23, at 8 p.m. With a recording career that spans almost three decades and 23 albums, the Grammy Award-winning saxophonist has sold more than 75 million records worldwide (45 million in the U.S. alone) and enjoyed more than a dozen climbs to the top of Billboard’s contemporary jazz chart. Grafting R&B, pop and Latin to a jazz foundation, Kenny G joins the Symphony, led by guest conductor Albert-George Schram (who last led the Symphony in March 2014), onstage to once again solidify his reputation as the premier artist in contemporary jazz. Close out summer with a bang! The Summer Festival series concludes its season on Saturday, Aug. 30, at 8 p.m., with “Tchaikovsky Spectacular.” Filled with cannons, fireworks and heart-pounding rhythms in the “1812 Overture,” this concert is the epitome of summer celebrations and a wonderful way to bid farewell to the season. Led by St.Clair, the program opens with Tchaikovsky’s Polonaise and Waltz from “Eugene Onegin,” and is followed by guest pianist Jon Nakamatsu, winner of the 10th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, performing Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. The evening also includes the orchestra tackling Mussorgsky’s famous “Pictures at an Exhibition.”

Photos by: Ann Chatillon Human Options raised nearly $2 million at their sold-out Serious Fun fundraiser at the Balboa Bay Resort. Over $900,000 was raised at the event, then a surprise $1 million grant was announced by honorary chairs Julia Argyros and daughter Stephanie Argyros that will specifically fund therapeutic programs for children. Three generations of the Sonenshine family were honored for their longtime support of Human Options that supports women and children affected by domestic violence. This year’s Serious Fun theme, A Salute to Old Hollywood, was an inspiration for 475 guests decked out in apparel from the 1940-1950s Hollywood eras. After a lively poolside cocktail hour and silent auction, the program began by honoring the Sonenshine family with Human Options’ 2014 Dove Award. The family was instrumental in assisting the organization over 33 years ago when Justice Sheila Prell Sonenshine (now retired) counseled clients on the legal process. Ygal and Sheila’s son Danny and wife Kerri later became Three generations of Sonenshine family involved and both have served on the board of directors and in a variety of other leadership positions over the past 13 years. The third generation includes Danny and Kerri’s young daughters Maggie and Sarah who were recognized for fundraising efforts including an annual Halloween costume drive, lemonade stands, birthday gift donations and art projects. Community leaders Karla Kraft, Anderee Berengian and Tamie Rus served as event chairs while Julia Argyros and daughter Stephanie Argyros were honorary event chairs. When first entering the Balboa Bay Club, attendees were able to stroll along the red carpet, complete with old Hollywood paparazzi! A brand new red Ferrari California was on display as a live auction item. It included a weekend California Ferrari experience including use of the car and a two night stay at the Balboa Bay Resort courtesy of Ferrari of Newport Beach. Both the poolside silent auction area and grand ballroom were draped in black and red with an art déco/old Hollywood twist. The menu consisted of cream of white asparagus soup, a petit filet mignon with béarnaise sauce and roasted Chilean sea bass with bordelaise and Meyer lemon sauce. For dessert, salted caramel macadamia nut torte and lemon Human Options Board Chair Tom and Elizabeth Tierney chiffon Tahitian vanilla cheese cake with raspberries were just delightful. Artyn Gardner and Demetria Moore The LIVE auction drew a bevy of bidders. Up for grabs were a variety of items; jewelry, vacations, the Ferrari of course and swanky dinners, you name it – even a jail tour and lunch with Orange County Sheriff Hutchens. Some of the top items were the Exclusive Trip to Isreal that went for $30,000; a vacation at Kohanaiki Golf and Ocean Club went twice at $25,000 a piece and a Diamond Flexible Bangle Cuff made someone happy at $10,000. The evening concluded with dancing and live music performed by the N8+ Jazz Band. The mission of Human Options is to provide safe haven and life changing programs to help abused women, their children and families rebuild their lives, while working with the community to break the cycle of domestic violence. Now in its 33rd year, Human Options provides a full continuum of services to stop the violence – from prevention and early intervention programs to emergency shelter and long-term transitional housing. Over 20,000 clients are served annually and independent academic research consistently verifies that 90% of their residential clients continue to be violence free one year or more after graduating from the program.

The magazine examined more than 19,400 public high schools in 50 states plus the District of Columbia using data from the 2011-12 school year. The top 24 percent of eligible schools in this national review were awarded either gold, silver, or bronze medals. The six CUSD high schools earned silver medals with rankings in the top 5 percent, according to the magazine’s analysis. Among District high schools, Tesoro placed highest nationally at 545 followed by Dana Hills, 605; Aliso Niguel, 753; San Clemente; 757; San Juan Hills, 787; and Capistrano Valley, 823. “These new nationwide high school rankings place our six medal-earning comprehensive high schools among the best in the nation, and is yet again another means of confirmation

that our students are receiving an exceptional education,” said Board President John M. Alpay. “This survey also validates the decision made to make classroom instruction our top priority, and further recognizes the contributions of all our employees who have more than diligently implemented this emphasis.” “Its your treasured memory, time to custom frame it?” ...Logan We specialize in shadow boxes for sports, military, and textile pieces

Of the 2,026 public high schools in the state, 600 earned medals, and only gold or silver schools were eligible for a state ranking in California. Tesoro ranked 114th in the state followed by Dana Hills, 124; Aliso Niguel, 152; San Clemente; 153; San Juan Hills, 159; and Capistrano Valley, 168.

GEORGE LOPEZ RETURNS TO ANAHEIM FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY! SATURDAY, JUNE 21 HONDA CENTER After selling out arenas around the world, global comedy super star, GEORGE LOPEZ returns to Anaheim for one night at Honda Center on Saturday, June 21. Tickets for the show go on sale to the general public Friday, March 28 at 10am at all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com. Tickets on sale Saturday, March 29 in-person at the Honda Center Box Office.

Lopez’s latest project, the comedy, Saint George, premiered on FX on Thursday, March 6, 2014 and can be seen Thursday nights at 9pm ET/PT. Saint George is a half-hour, multi-camera ensemble comedy that follows the chaotic life of “George Lopez,” a recently divorced working class Mexican-American turned successful entrepreneur caught between two cultures. Saint George is Lopez’s first return to the sitcom since his groundbreaking

hit George Lopez, which ran for six seasons on ABC.

He has been praised by audiences and critics alike for his work in television, film and standup, as well as his extensive charity work with various foundations. Lopez has made more than 200 television comedy, talk show, and hosting appearances, including cohosting the Emmy Awards and twice hosting the Latin Grammys. Lopez’s film credits include the box-office hit Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Swing Vote, Henry Poole Is Here, Balls of Fury, The Spy Next Door, Mr. Troop Mom and Valentine’s Day directed by Gary Marshall.

Craving an unplugged vacation? Secrets to keeping the family road trip fun Whoever said the journey is part of the fun probably never took a summer road trip with hungry, bored children in the backseat of the family car. Keeping kids occupied and their tummies full goes a long way toward making a driving vacation fun for everyone. But if you don’t want kids to fill up on junk food and spend all their car time plugged into the electronic device of their choice, what are your options? Seventy-nine percent of all leisure trips in 2012 were made by car, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Summer is a peak time for family travel, as Americans visit friends and family, and take vacations while school is out. This summer, it’s possible to entertain kids, engage the whole family and keep everyone happy in the car. All you need is a little creativity, some time-tested activities and wholesome foods. The family road trip experts at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store offer some advice: Unplugged entertainment Smartphones, game consoles, laptops, tablets, television and mp3 players keep kids plugged in almost constantly. When traveling, many families try to minimize electronic time in order to provide the maximum opportunity for members to connect with each other and enjoy the new Page 14

sights and experiences they’ll share. An unplugged vacation is a great idea, but it’s important to use that free time wisely in ways that entertain and educate kids while also engaging adults. Games that all ages can enjoy will also help families connect while in the car. Look for games that travel easily, require minimal moving parts and offer a bit of nostalgia. For example, the Original Wooly-Willy game is one parents will recall from their own childhoods and will enjoy introducing kids to. The game allows players to use a magnetic wand to move iron powder around, drawing whiskers, hair and eyebrows on a plasticcovered face. A mini version of the popular Simon game uses flashing lights and sounds to test players’ memories. Games can also be both educational and fun. A Wooden Magnetic Hangman Game delivers all the brain-building challenge of the classic word game in an easyto-carry format that uses a magnetic dry-erase board, 26 letter magnets, 10 hangman body magnets and a dry-erase marker - great for backseat entertainment. Or you could use a map game to help kids learn more about the United States as they drive through new locations on their way to Grandma’s house,

The Ladera Ranch News

the theme park, national park or other family destination. Cracker Barrel carries these games and many more appropriate for on-thego fun. Listening in A car trip is also a great time for everyone to catch up on their “reading.” Audio books are an ideal way for everyone - including the driver - to enjoy a good story together. From New York Times bestsellers to non-fiction, self-help and children’s titles, a variety of best-selling books are available in audio format. An exchange program is a costeffective way to enjoy an audio book for your road trip. Cracker Barrel offers a service that allows travelers to purchase an audio book at one location and return it to another Cracker Barrel anywhere in the U.S. Customers will receive a full refund less an exchange fee of $3.49 for every week they kept the book. Car time is also the perfect time to expand everyone’s appreciation of different types of music. Introduce kids to oldies that parents (or even grandparents) loved when they were kids, or ask the kids to share some of their favorite music with you. Refreshments on the go Hungry travelers are unhappy travelers, and parents know the value of having plenty of snacks on

hand in the car. Avoid having too many sweets, high-calorie or high-fat foods in the car, as heavier or sugary foods can leave kids over-excited or feeling sluggish. Instead, snack on wholesome treats like fresh fruit (pack a cooler), protein-rich Virginia Peanuts or crunchy Okra Chips from Cracker Barrel, and bottled water. When it’s time to stop for a meal, Cracker Barrel has the family-friendly atmosphere and food that travelers have come to love. With familiar favorites and new lower-calorie options, Cracker Barrel ensures families will be able to enjoy a great meal while on the road. When you’re done with your lunch or dinner, stop by the Old Country Store and stock up on games and a few sweet treats such as McCraws Flat Taffy or popular candy bars.

Gluten-free recipes guaranteed to please a crowd Sandwiches, pizza and fresh crusty bread ... what do they have in common? Besides being among our favorite foods, they are often made with wheat and contain gluten. However, with a scan of American grocery store shelves or restaurant menus, it’s easy to see that “glutenfree” is a popular trend these days, with more and more people looking to reduce or eliminate gluten from their diets. As the number of individuals seeking a gluten-free diet increases, so does the demand for flavorful gluten-free recipes, especially for baked goods that are traditionally packed with gluten. Baking flavor-packed glutenfree recipes is a breeze with the addition of naturally gluten-free ingredients like California Ripe Olives - a delicious and versatile ingredient that adds flavor and texture to any gluten-free dish. And here’s a fun fact - did you know that 95 percent of black ripe olives are grown in California by more than 1,000 family farmers? Here are a few tasty recipes for fresh California Ripe Olivestudded Focaccia bread and a zesty Muffaletta sandwich that Page 16
