Fact s A b o u t t h e F o u r t h of Ju ly: A m er i c aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s I n dep en den ce Day By Jennifer Phillips The 4th of July marks the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the men who are responsible for the start of the United States of America. In 1776, on July 2nd, the Continental Congress met to discuss independence. There was much political unrest at the time, with the thirteen colonies chafing under the rule of a King who was an entire ocean away. There were feelings of resentment over the lack of representation in England, for the Colonies. In short, the citizens of the original Colonies were unhappy, and the Continental Congress felt it was time to take the next step forward, towards independence, and self-rule. Two days after this meeting, on July 4th, these men signed a document, drafted by Thomas Jefferson, declaring the intentions of the Colonies to be free from the rule of the kingdom of Great Britain. What followed was a long, bitter war lasting roughly eight years. It eventually involved not only England and the United States, but also France, Spain and the Dutch Republic. The war ended in 1783, and the United States were finally free to

govern themselves, but the date most celebrated is the date that began it all; the Fourth of July. While the 4th of July has only been an official paid holiday for federal employees since 1941, it has been celebrated thoroughly since the very start. Today the 4th of July is celebrated in the United States with parades, fireworks, picnics and extravagant displays of patriotism. It has been that way for a long time, too. The list below illustrates some of the ways that this holiday has been celebrated in the past. * 1777- Thirteen gunshots were fired (once in the morning, and again in the evening) on July 4th in Rhode Island. Philadelphia held an official dinner, complete with toasts, 13-gun salutes, speeches, songs, parades and, yes, fireworks. * 1778- George Washington's soldiers received a double ration of rum and an artillery salute. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, acting as ambassadors to France, held a celebration dinner for their fellow Americans. * 1779- July 4th fell on a holiday, and was celebrated on Monday instead.

* 1781- Massachusetts was the first state to recognize July 4th as an official state holiday. * 1791- The first use recorded use of the name "Independence Day" is found in this year. * 1941- The 4th of July is declared a paid holiday for federal employees. The traditions of the 4th of July celebrations run deep. It inspires in many American citizens feelings of patriotism, and pride in their country. It's also a holiday for fun and family. Some of the long-standing celebrations in the United States include: * Since 1785, Bristol, Rhode Island's Fourth of July Parade has occurred annually. This makes it the oldest continuous Independence day celebration in the United States. * Since 1916, Nathan's Hot Dog Contest has been held at Coney Island every 4th of July. The contest supposedly started as a way to settle an argument between four immigrants, over who was the most patriotic. * During the last week of June, since 1959, Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario hold a mutual celebration of both Independence Day and Canada Day. The celebration

ends with a large fireworks display over the Detroit River. Clearly, Americans hold a special place in their hearts for this holiday, even this many years later. Many wars have been fought, and many lives lost, in the name of freedom and independence. Even in times of political unrest and economic struggle, Americans can, on this day, look back at their long, rich history of freedom and independence, and feel a sense of gratitude to, and pride in, their forefathers, and the men who followed in their footsteps.

High-tech gift ideas for grads that won’t break the bank

Graduation season is here with high school and college grads eagerly awaiting commencement so they can start the next big chapter of life. This also means a lot of graduation celebrations for friends and family near and far. This year, show your support and go beyond the typical gift of a card and money. Instead, give graduates something they’re guaranteed to use every day: technology. Nearly $5 billion is spent on gifts to grads every year, according to a National Retail Federation Graduation Survey. Make your graduation gift stand out among the rest by choosing must-have technologies that will keep graduates wired and connected as they start a new adventure. Here are five tech ideas graduates are sure to love that won’t break your gifting budget: 1. Connectivity Staying connected is top of mind for any aged graduated, so giving a gift that keeps them wired is sure to be used often. Laptops from leading brands such as Toshiba, HP, Asus and Lenovo are portable solutions that make it easy to read textbooks online, type notes in class or video chat with friends and family. Staples EasyTech Total Support plans are a great way for students away from home to keep their tech items for both their new and old PCs protected. Tablets are a must-have for many grads because they are lightweight, easy to carry in a bag or purse and they keep them connected everywhere, whether they’re in their dorm or on a road trip. Wow your grad with a durable tablet like the Microsoft Surface Pro 2, Google Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Kindle Fire HD.

3. Multi-tasking Today’s grads are busy multi-taskers who demand a lot from their high-tech devices. That’s why a smartphone is practically a necessity. As of January 2014, 58 percent of American adults have a smartphone, according to Pew Internet Project research. Let your grad join the adult world with the right smartphone featuring the newest operating system and apps from Samsung and other top brands. 4. Accessorize Enhance any gift by adding a few in-demand tech accessories that make it easy for grads to stay wired. Portable phone chargers are great for keeping devices charged while out and about.

A high-quality pair of headphones or ear buds will keep your grad rocking both day and night, and a nice tablet case protects critical mobile devices while showcasing each graduate’s unique personality. 5. Practicality Any gift you give should have a practical side to it - your grad is getting ready to start a new life chapter, after all. When you’re unsure what they’d like, give a gift certificate to a favorite store. For example, Staples has all the essentials in one place, from dorm accessories to top technologies. This way, your special grad can select exactly what he or she wants and you can feel good about giving a helpful gift as a new adventure begins.

MISSION SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO TO HOST SPECIAL ‘JOURNEYS TO THE PAST’

Mission San Juan Capistrano will host a special presentation of “Journeys to the Past” on Monday, June 30 beginning at 10 a.m. As always, Jacque Nunez, the 2009 Educator of the year, takes students on a journey into the lifestyle of the California Indian. Children experience lively music, story telling, songs, games, and dance with opportunities to participate. Students leave with an appreciation of environmentalism and what it means to be “keepers of the earth.” But what makes this “Journeys” presentation special will be the appearance by the Young Spirit Dancers dance team from Omaha, Nebraska. The dance team is comprised of students ages 8-15, representing the Cherokee, Dine (Navajo), Lakota, Omaha and Winnebago People. The dance team’s trip to Southern California will include a performance at Disney’s California Adventure. Journeys to the Past, which normally costs $4 to participate, will be free with paid admission to the Mission. Jacque Nunez is a direct descendent of the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians, also know as the Acjachemen Indians. Her great, great grandfather was one of the leather Page 4

jacket soldiers that guarded Father Serra as he traveled from San Diego to San Juan Capistrano. Jacque grew up in the oldest home in California, Los Rios Adobe. Her family has lived in this house built by Feliciano Rios over 200 years ago. Her storytelling venue, which is the only Native American venue in any of the 21 missions, is unique, engaging and memorable. About Mission San Juan 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

Have a Flag-Waving Fourth of July! I’m bringing a fantastic flag cake to this year’s party - it serves a lot of people and it’s easy to make. I’ll let you in on two little secrets that make this cake taste extra good: instant potato flakes keep the cake tender and moist, while mini chocolate chips give you little bursts of chocolate with every bite. The colorful fruit on top not only adds great flavor, but it turns this cake into a showstopper that has guests “oohing” and “ahhing” in delight! If you’re going to a potluck party this year, I have some tips for being a good guest: * Keep it safe: It’s tricky to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold, so make sure the food you’re bringing will be safe at room temperature. For example, on a hot summer day, vinegar-based salad dressings are a better choice than mayonnaise-based ones. * Keep it simple: Bring dishes that are ready to serve. Asking to pop something into the host’s oven for “just a few minutes” is inconvenient for the host and the guests waiting to eat. * Keep it practical: Label your dish so that guests know what they’re getting. It’s also a big help if you bring your own serving utensils - the host won’t be forced to hunt for something and the line won’t get held up waiting. * Keep it yours: If you need to take your serving dish home, be sure to label it. A bit of masking tape with your name on it can be discreetly placed on the dish so it doesn’t get mixed up with someone else’s.

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.

Easy 4th of July BBQ Ribs By Mary McShane This is an easy and great tasting 4th of July BBQ ribs recipe for your gathering of family and friends. The unique combination of cranberry sauce, your favorite BBQ sauce and brown sugar will encourage you to use it with more pork recipes. 2 lbs Pork ribs Marinate 4-6 hours in a mixture of: - 3/4 can beer - 1/4 cup olive oil - 1/4 cup BBQ sauce Mix for basting/dipping sauce: - 3/4 cup BBQ sauce - 1/2 cup cranberry sauce - 2 tbls. chili sauce - 1/2 cup brown sugar - orange juice to your desired consistency Grill low (200-250) for 2-4 hours depending on thickness of the ribs and baste as needed. To reduce grilling time: parboil the ribs in marinate mixture with water added to cover the ribs until meat is gray or bake at 350, in marinade mixture until meat is lightly browned. Children like these ribs best when they are cut, after grilling, to the size of riblets. The riblets also make a great party food. For the 4th of July, place the ribs/riblets on a white platter and garnish with blueberries. The Ladera Ranch News

See What Our Clients Are Saying Dear Andy & JoAnne: Thank you for the remarkable job you did marketing our Coto Country Home. After interviewing 7 qualified seasoned Coto brokers I received one of your high quality postcard mailers for a house costing more than 3 times as much as my home. Though ready to select one of those other brokers I decided to first seek an interview with you. Your professionalism was obvious within minutes of our first meeting, it set you apart, and it never wavered during the 8 weeks that passed between signing the listing agreement to completing a 21 day non-contingent, all-cash closing escrow. You did what you said you would do; never relying on an associate or newbie to do your work. We hired you, we got you and you delivered! In doing so, you did set a record for the highest price paid in the neighborhood since 2008. Wow, what a performance!

Grier, an Art4Healing workshop participant, and vocalist, who recently lost her father to cancer. Art & Creativity for Healing also recognized its “Teacher of the Year,” Kim Schubert who facilitates weekly workshops for wounded warriors at the Naval Hospital on Camp Pendleton, and has also taught bereavement workshops, as well as evening workshops for the families at the OC Rescue Mission. Also honored that evening was Erin Praefke, Art & Creativity for Healing’s “Volunteer of the Year.” Erin currently volunteers here time as a facilitator, teaching Art4Healing®classes and workshops at American Family Housing for the Homeless, Illumination Foundation, and the OC Rescue Mission.

The Ladera Ranch News

By Bryan Golden In less than 200 years, America grew from a handful of colonies to become the greatest nation in history. In a few hundred years, we surpassed nations that were many times older. What makes America great? The two main elements that make America great are our people and our freedoms. Our people have a can do, nothing is impossible, spirit. Starting with the American Revolution, we have always conquered adversity, often in the face of overwhelming odds. We have more rights and freedoms than anywhere else in the world. Our freedoms are considered inalienable rights, not privileges granted by government. Our freedoms are the envy of the world. Every item in the bill of rights is a precious jewel, designed to ensure the immortality of our liberty. Our founders came from societies where government controlled its citizens. They had a solid understanding of the consequences of unchecked power. Our constitution was crafted specifically to limit the scope of government to prevent its infringing on individual liberties. Our constitution is a brilliant document, filled with foresight and understanding, that has withstood the test of time. The principles embedded in

What Makes America Great

the constitution are the foundation of our greatness. In America, each citizen can control his or her destiny without fear of interference by government or others. Our government was formed to serve the people rather than vice versa. Our government was designed to play a minimal role in people’s lives. Our doors have always been open to people from anywhere in the world who want to come here legally to work hard, contribute, and assimilate into our society. America’s reputation as a melting pot is derived from the fact that people from every walk of life can work together to create an unstoppable force for good. In America anything is possible. America is great because it offers its people unlimited opportunity to succeed by bringing their dreams to reality. In America, success requires hard work, determination, and persistence, not permission. We are constitutionally protected to prevent government from confiscating the results of our labor. America is an engine for unprecedented productivity. Our economic system has been responsible for civilization transforming innovations and discoveries. No other country has even come close and many other “We have some beautiful tchotchkes that make great gifts ...or as a lovely piece of décor for your home or office! Please stop by soon!” ...Logan

systems have failed miserably. America has a big heart. Whether in this country or elsewhere, we help those who can not help themselves. Americans are first on the scene in the wake of natural or civic disasters. We are there with food, supplies, medical aid, and money. Our brave soldiers travel the globe defending those who can’t defend themselves. In America there are no problems

that we can’t solve. Any obstacles we may face do not taint our greatness. It is our greatness that enables us to overcome adversity and become even stronger in the process. Everyday, be thankful that you live in America and benefit from its greatness. Don’t take for granted that which people in other countries can only dream about. Be proud to be an American.

Guided Hike through trabuco canyon

On a recent Saturday, about 30 hikers navigated Trabuco Canyon terrain amid coastal sage scrub, oak woodland, grasslands and chaparral as part of OCTA’s series of interpretive excursions through its protected wilderness preserve. Another hike is scheduled for Aug. 9. The fourth and final event in the series is a guided equestrian tour on Aug. 16. The guided two-mile hiking tour took place on Ferber Ranch Wilderness Preserve, nearly 400 acres of rolling terrain in an unincorporated area of Orange County. Bordered on the north by the Cleveland National Forest and on the south by Trabuco Creek, the property is located within the Trabuco Canyon area of the Foothill / Trabuco Specific Plan. OCTA’s acquisition of this property protects several vital wildlife movement corridors, ensures the preservation of high quality habitat, and allows this core segment of Trabuco Canyon to be permanently protected. In 2011, OCTA purchased Ferber Ranch as part of the M2 Freeway Environmental Mitigation Program. Page 16

Funded by Measure M, the county’s half-cent sales tax for transportation, the program allocates funds to acquire open space and contribute to habitat restoration projects in exchange for streamlined project approvals for 13 M freeway improvement projects. Acquired properties are purchased and permanently preserved as open space. Funded restoration projects restore preserved open space lands to their native habitat and include the removal of invasive plant species.

The OC Fair Is Coming Soon and OCTA Has More Ways to Enjoy It Last year, more than 1 million traveled to the OC Fair in Costa Mesa for everything from deep-fried Oreos to baby animals to first-rate music. That’s a lot of people, cars, traffic, and parking issues. Fortunately, there’s a time-andmoney saving alternative to getting there by car. The popular OC Fair Express provides direct service to and from the fair from eight convenient locations for only $2 each way or a swipe of a valid bus pass. It’s available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from July 11 through Aug.10. OC Fair Express riders also receive a $3 fair admission coupon, a savings of up to $9. Though the fair doesn’t start until July 11, there’s no need to wait to get in on the excitement. OCTA’s Summer Fun Pack is available now. Through July 10, visitors can enter daily to win an OC Fair sweepstakes that includes a 30-day bus pass, OC Fair tote bag, and more. It’s a great way to prepare for the fair days ahead. Enter now. And here’s another way to enjoy the fair and simplify life: The OC Fair Express Mobile App. Free and available for download beginning July 1, it lets users buy passes, get schedules, and view maps.
