What Makes America Great 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

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

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.

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. For more Independence Day recipe ideas to help you celebrate, visit www. verybestbaking.com.

Independence Cake Makes 20 servings

1 cup water 1 cup instant mashed potato flakes 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 2 2/3 cups granulated sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened 4 large eggs 3/4 cup milk 2 cups (12-ounce package) Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Morsels 1 container (8 ounces) frozen lite whipped topping, thawed 2 cups sliced strawberries 1/2 cup blueberries

PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan; line with wax paper. HEAT water to boiling in small saucepan; remove from heat. Stir in potato flakes until moistened. Cool to room temperature. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. BEAT sugar and butter until crumbly. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in potatoes. Gradually beat in flour mixture alternately with milk. Stir in morsels. Spoon into prepared baking pan. BAKE for 45 to 55 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes.

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 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.

local rancho santa MarGarita area Dentist Dr. Michael tessier reveals Why he loves his Work When we asked local dentist Dr. Michael Te s s i e r why he is always so cheerful, He replied: “because I love my work. What Dr. Michael Tessier I do makes people feel better and look better. What could be better than that? And, almost on a daily basis, my practice is finding new ways to take care of people. ”Dr. Tessier continued. “My office uses the latest in scientific dental advancements such as toothstraightening without metal braces (“Invisalign”); Tooth-colored porcelain crowns that have no metal in them and are subsequently dramatically more attractive and natural looking than the old porcelain-baked-on-to-metal type. I also recommend Porcelain veneers that, with a minimum of tooth structure removal, improve alignment, color, and evenness of front teeth, a process that is accomplished in a remarkably small amount of time. There are so many new scientific dental innovations that modern dentistry is a pleasure for me to practice. I often use a tiny “sandblaster” to do many of our smaller fillings, allowing us to do those fillings without discomfort and subsequently without anesthetic altogether. Another remarkable tool we use is the laser .We treat canker

or cold sores with a laser, dramatically shortening their life and the discomfort they cause. We do gum surgery with a laser (Periolase), not a knife, which is much more effective and greatly reduces any discomfort. Today Removable dentures can be anchored to implants, preventing them from moving and restoring more normal chewing. Another wonderful innovation is Implant crowns, which allow us to replace missing teeth without damaging the teeth on either side of the space where the tooth was originally located. We make an intra-oral appliance that keeps the lower jaw forward during sleep, reducing sleep apnea and all the other problems that the cessation of breathing at night can cause. I’ve been in private practice in Saddleback Valley since 1980 when I got out of the Navy. When the situation arises that we need a specialist, like an oral surgeon for wisdom extraction, or endodontists (root canal specialists), or periodontists (gum specialists) to save jeopardized teeth, I’m on a “first-name” basis with the best in all of those fields, who are all close by. We’re all living longer, and we’ll need our teeth longer. So it is my pleasure to have all of these good things we can do to make that happen. It’s better to have teeth left at the end of your life, rather than life left at the end of your teeth. Dr. Michael Tessier’s Office is located at 28562 Oso parkway at the intersection of Oso and Antonio parkways in the retail center near the Carwash and Starbucks the telephone number is (949)-459-7212.

Founded in 2008, PFAN has raised almost $300,000 for activities and facilities at Aliso Niguel High School hosting the Taste of Aliso Niguel where it is an evening of unlimited food tastes from great local restaurants, live entertainment, as well as hundreds of silent auction. Raising the most money for their clubs were Aquatics, Band and Dance; they raised $2,500 to $3,000 each. The silent auction tables were set up by each of the participating organizations.

DANGEROUS INSECT AND DISEASE THREATEN LOCAL CITRUS TREES A dangerous insect has made its way into Ladera Ranch and is threatening local citrus trees. The Asian citrus psyllid feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees and can spread a fatal plant disease called Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening disease. Since the beginning of the year, there have been 2 Asian citrus psyllid finds in Ladera Ranch, and with people spending more time in their backyards this summer, now is an important time for residents to take actions to protect their beloved backyard citrus trees. HLB has already been found in Southern California, putting all citrus trees at risk. There is no cure for HLB and once a tree is infected, it will die. Symptoms of HLB include asymmetrical yellowing of leaves, hard, bitter or misshapen fruit, and ex-

Psylids Page 16

cessive fruit drop. Residents should inspect their backyard citrus trees for signs of the disease. The Citrus Pest & Disease Prevention Program offers the following tips: • Don’t move citrus — Do not bring any plant material into the area from other states or countries. Also, do not move citrus off your property, as you could accidentally spread the pest or disease and may be violating quarantines set by agriculture authorities. • Inspect your trees — Look for signs of the pest and disease each month or whenever watering, spraying, pruning or tending trees. Learn what to look for by visiting CaliforniaCitrusThreat.org. • Plant responsibly — Only buy citrus trees from reputable, licensed California nurseries. • Graft with care — Use only registered budwood with source documentation. • Be mindful of clippings — Dry or double bag plant clippings prior to disposal to avoid moving psyllids and HLB-infected plant materials. • Cooperate — Cooperate with agriculture officials on detection and suppression efforts of the Asian citrus psyllid and HLB. If you think you’ve found the psyllid or the disease, contact the local agricultural commissioner or call the California Department of Food and Agriculture hotline at 800-491-1899. Visit CaliforniaCitrusThreat.org to learn more about this issue and how it is affecting the iconic citrus trees of California.

With colorful sweets that sparkle and a themed tablescape exploding with red, white and blue, your party is sure to be the best on the block. “Adding patriotic flair to your Independence Day celebration is easy with the right recipes and decorating accents,” said Nancy Siler, vice president of consumer affairs at Wilton. “Put your personal John Hancock on the party by turning traditional summertime foods into amazing sweet treats.” Try these dessert ideas from the Wilton test kitchen for a celebration that ends with a bang: n Burgers with a Sweet Bite: Traditional burgers are a staple for summer parties; switch things up with Sweet Sliders and build your burgers with unexpected ingredients. Start with whoopie pies for the buns, add a brownie “patty,” roll yellow fruit candies into thin layers for cheese, and top it off with red and yellow Sparkle Gel for ketchup and mustard. n Playful Twist on Summer Fruit: Make mouths water by serving up slices of delicious watermelon ... cheesecake! Strawberry cheesecake dotted with mini chocolate chips imitates the center of the fruit, and a pistachio and coconut crumble crust mimics the watermelon rind. n Patriotic Treat Pops: For the grand finale, nestle Red, White and Blue Treat Pops in a bowl of red Cinnamon Drops. Layer on the festive colors with vanilla cake, colored icing and star-shaped sprinkles. Finish with stars and stripes Rocket Treat Pops Toppers or red, white and blue pinwheels.

The festival will open daily from 10 am to 10 pm through Sunday, September 1. Over 200 Laguna Beach artists, 18 new artists, excitedly anticipate a new summer season in hopes of drawing an even greater crowd than last year to expose their unique handmade artwork. Visitors can experience the awe in artwork being created before their eyes, including the large glassblowing enclosure where glass masters perform their skill at the furnace. The diverse range of artwork at the Sawdust encompasses all types of mediums, including ceramics, glass, woodwork, jewelry, sculpture, painting, photography, textiles, mixed media and much more. In addition to the newbies joining the Sawdust family, also new this year is the Reset Sundays entertainment series. The Sawdust Entertainment Committee decided to feature a mellow genre of music every other Sunday evening this summer, as a relaxing way for visitors to wind down their weekends and prepare for a

new week. Chamber music groups, jazz ensembles and lighter musical performers are booked every other Sunday at 5 pm on the grounds. In support of the Sawdust’s mission to educate the public, the year-round Sawdust Studio Art Classes will continue to be offered every Friday and Saturday at 10 am and 2 pm.

The annual Artists’ Benevolence Fund Auction, which supports artists that have experienced a catastrophic event, will take place on Sunday, August 11 from 2-5 pm on the Main Entertainment Deck. This year, the moneys raised at the annual live auction will be especially important, as the Artists’ Benevolence Fund is need of replenishing the funds granted during last winter’s disastrous floods.
