A Super Slice Earns the Win for Lane Clarke and Semira de Saulieu in the Markel Insurance Grand Prix
Lane Clarke and Semira de Saulieu Kicking off three weeks of competition at the Del Mar Horse Park, the Showpark Summer Festival offers two grand prix classes, the first of which was today’s $25,000 1.40m Markel Insurance Grand Prix. In a stellar jump-off performance, the win went to veteran pair Australian Lane Clarke and Semira de Saulieu (owned by Brookelane Farms). FEI course designer Ivan Tagle of Argentina had the task of developing a track for a field of over forty horses of varying levels. From a skinny jump at fence four, a delicate plank hanging at the top of fence five in a line to a triple combination early in the course, a tricky line from fence seven to a horizontally-striped, verticalvertical in-and-out at 8ab, and a tight line with a triple bar to a vertical to an oxer to finish, he admitted the challenges started early in the course and continued through to the end. In addition, with a tight time allowed, only seven of 41 horses advanced to the jump-off. Each jump came down at least once - several of them, multiple times - and ten entries had time faults. The heartbreak for eighth place finisher, Arsia Ardalan on Chin Chin, was leaving all the jumps in the cups, but being just a touch too slow Page 4
for a score of two time faults. First to return in the jump-off was Mexico’s Francisco Pasquel on his own Naranjo. Setting the time to beat, Pasquel was double clean in 42.45. He held that lead through the next several attempts. Then came Clarke and Sermira. Clearly in sync, the pair shaved a full two seconds off Pasquel’s time by making a daring slice midway through the jump-off and then carrying a quick pace to the final three obstacles, stopping the clock in 40.20. Slipping into second and pushing Pasquel to third, Jamie Barge and Kylieco’s Luebbo were next in, double clear in 42.29. Clarke appreciated the course design. “I think Ivan did a great job. He had over forty horses and only seven went clean. It got people a little bit with the time, got people a little bit with different jumps, but no one had a disaster. He’s been building great all week.” He continued, “It was pretty darn big, but he didn’t have a choice.” The lovely Semira de Saulieu shines with Clarke aboard. He knew what he had to do for the win, even if it was a different track than the other competitors. “I don’t walk numbers in lines that have so many options
The Ladera Ranch News
especially off an angle, because it depends where I land off the angle. I rode the handiest track I thought I could ride and leave all the jumps up and trust my mare, and she did what she does.” Knowing he could slice the jump, Clarke’s plan continued with an extra stride to the in-and-out that followed. This decision paid off, as the pair were fault free and fast. As always, Clarke was appreciative. “I have a lot of people to thank there’s a big team behind me. I would love to
Jamie Barge and Luebbo
thank the Borgers family for Semira. I would love to thank Semira. Mickey [Hayden] because he coaches me. Pepe [Ortiz] for taking such great care of this mare. And all of my clients and friends who support me.” The Showpark Summer Festival continues with the $15,000 CashCall Mortgage Futurity Final on Saturday, and the $30,000 Summer Festival Grand Prix presented by SmartPak on Sunday.

PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S “BOLERO AND HOT LATIN NIGHTS” OFFERS SIZZLING RHYTHMS AND ORCHESTRAL FIREWORKS UNDER THE STARRY SKY FOR AN EVENING OF MESMERIZING MUSIC It is a night of spicy, riveting music and dance featuring salsa, Cuban rhythms and the sounds of Spain, when Pacific Symphony, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, delivers the third concert of Summer Festival 2015. The evening is chock-full of hot-tempered tunes, including Ravel’s “Bolero,” featuring the most famous drumbeat in classical music and immortalized in the movie “10”. Taking place Sunday, Aug. 9, at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre ( f o r m e r l y Ve r i z o n W i r e l e s s Amphitheater), the concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and audience members are welcome to picnic on the grounds starting at 5:30 p.m. Tickets range from $25-$107 and kids are half price in most sections. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www. PacificSymphony.org. Rimsky-Korsakov’s sparkling orchestral painting of Spain, Capriccio Espagnol, full of passionate tunes and brilliant colors that have made it a smash-hit concert favorite; the short but potent “Ritual Fire Dance” from de Falla’s ballet, “El amor brujo”; and excerpts from Bizet’s alluring “Carmen,” sung by opera star, mezzo-soprano Milena Kitić. The band JT & Friends then delivers high-octane entertainment on the Page 6
second half, which includes Bizet’s “Farandole” from L’Arlesienne Suite No. 2 and Bernstein’s heart-pumping “America” from the classic film, “West Side Story.” Completing the mix are dancers, Salsa king Bobby Rivas, singer Beau Williams, and music that includes Barry Mann’s “On Broadway,” Flores’ rowdy “Tequila” and more. “Spanish music is so rich, varied and diverse,” says Maestro St.Clair. “So what this program shows as a whole is its incredible variety and brilliance, from the virtuosity of ‘Carmen,’ to Ravel’s ‘Bolero’ as the tour de force of orchestration. This is a concert that has a full palette of vibrant colors.” Ravel’s memorable “Bolero” (if you’ve heard it once, you’ve never forgotten it), with its repetitive layering of instruments, intensifying with each pass until it’s ready to explode is a one movement, 17-minute wonder, with the snare drum maintaining steely precision and poetic sensitivity as the musical tension builds. By far Ravel’s most popular work, “Bolero” takes the most basic of melodies and squeezes it for all it’s worth. Coming at the audience in waves, it builds and builds and before you know it, what started as a whisper is now a gigantic roar. The cymbals
The Ladera Ranch News
come crashing down and there is plenty of drama and bombast. “We’re so fortunate to have one of the consummate Carmens in our midst with Milena Kitić,” says Maestro St.Clair. “She’s sung this role in the major houses of the world. It’s her role, and it’s wonderful she’s returning after her magnificent performance with us for our concert opera of ‘Carmen.’” “To see music through his eyes really changed my vision about the world of classical music,” says St.Clair of his mentor, Bernstein. “It was a great gift and set me out on a whole different path. My musical journey changed immediately.” The band JT & Friends (led by John
Tu) accepts only a limited number of engagements, all of which are fundraising efforts for the arts and medicine. They have appeared at Pacific Symphony’s Gala for the past five years, and are uniting with the orchestra for the second time at the Symphony’s Summer Festival. The band’s musicians have backed Neil Young, performed with Al Jarreau, George Benson, played Carnegie Hall, toured China and played at the Great Wall. Others have recorded with Michael Jackson and performed with Smokey Robinson. Another works with Glenn Yarbrough and Sergio Mendes. Several are Emmy Award winners. The costume designer also works with Paul McCartney and Sting.

BY POPULAR DEMAND LYON AIR MUSEUM HO STS AN ENCORE OF “ THE DUESENBERG EXHIBIT” Lyon Air Museum, a world class showcase of historic aircraft and vintage automobiles, to bring back “The Duesenberg Exhibit.” Ten quintessential Duesenberg automobiles will be displayed July 1 – August 4, 2015 at the Museum, located on the west side of John Wayne Airport in Orange County. Manufactured between 1928 and 1935, the ten automobiles are compromised of not only the first serial numbered Model J Duesenberg but also the last, and of course eight unique examples in between. These decadent one-of-a-kind automobiles were owned by the most influential of the time, including many well known celebrities and highly successful businessmen. Among these ten “Duesies,” previous owners include; John J McCarthy – former president of the Cracker Jack Company, Otis Chandler – Los Angeles Times publisher, Sid Smith – Andy Gump Cartoonist , and Golden Age Hollywood actress Dolores Del Rio. Furthermore, one of the ten cars is a bit of a celebrity itself, the 1929 Model J Murphy Dual Cowl Phaeton was featured in the 1982 John Huston
film “Annie.” The Duesenberg brand of automobiles represents an innovative melding of American elegance, engineering and extravagance. No two cars are the same, for each body and its interior was custom made by specialized coach builders from around the World, all to owner specifications. They were considered the very finest cars money could buy, inspiring the use of the expression “It’s a Duesy” when describing something extraordinary or the finest of its kind. The Model J of the Duesenberg marque was the culmination of a rich history of development. In 1914, World War I Fighter Ace and Medal of Honor recipient, Eddie Richenbacker, drove a “Duesy” to finish in 10th place at the Indianapolis 500, and a Duesenberg won the race in 1924, 1925, and 1927. After produced arguably the best luxury passenger cars of its time, Duesenberg ceased production in 1937. Today, it is estimated that 378 of the 481 originally manufactured rare Model J Duesenbergs still survive. Lyon Air Museum represents the fulfillment of a dream of founder
General William Lyon of William Lyon Homes, Inc., Newport Beach, Calif. As a former combat pilot, and ultimately Chief of the U.S. Air Force Reserve from 1975 to 1979, his passion for aviation history and youth education is the driving force behind Lyon Air Museum. In establishing the museum, General Lyon has created a world-class facility, offering educational tours and displays to inspire young people. The Museum has on exhibit some of the world’s rarest operational historic aircraft and
vehicles. Lyon Air Museum is located at 19300 Ike Jones Road, Santa Ana, CA 92707. P: 714/210-4585. F: 714/210-4588. E: info@ lyonairmuseum.org. W: www. lyonairmuseum.org.

Summer Beauty 101 - Summer Beauty from an ExperT Whether your summer plans include an exotic trip or simply enjoying sunny days with friends, it’s the perfect time to add a little fun into your beauty routine. Celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff shares her expert tips to freshen up your look. Don the Dewy Look Sheriff recommends cream products to achieve that dewy, healthy glow. A gorgeous peach cream blush will mimic the skin’s natural summer color natural enough for a daytime look with the potential to make a statement for the evening. Get a Natural Glow Self-tanners and body glows are the perfect way to look sun-kissed without the harmful rays. To get the best results, skin must be hair-free and smooth. Sheriff’s pick is Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Total Care Body Trio, the only 3-step depilatory system that offer professional results but at a fraction of the cost of salons. Plus it works while you shower to save time. Bring on the Color This summer, Sheriff suggests a bright eye liner to bring out the color of your eyes. To get the desired effect, apply two coats along your lower lash
line with a shade that complements your eyes. For example, if your eyes are brown, purple eyeliner will make your eyes pop. Less is More Add products to your makeup kit that do double-duty in soaring summer temperatures: an SPF foundation primer will protect against
sun damage and create a sleek canvas while a tinted moisturizer will create a sheer finish. For a flawless application, Sheriff suggests using a foundation brush. The Perfect Pout Red lips are on trend this summer, but finding the perfect red lipstick can be a challenge for many women.
Sheriff recommends a sheer red or deep wine gloss for an easy, wearable way to get the look without going too bold. With just a few expert tips in your beauty routine, you can enjoy a renewed summertime look to last all season long. Photo courtesy of Getty Images

MOMS charity luncheon raises $58,000 to help mothers have healthy babies MOMS Orange County, a nonprofit helping at-risk mothers and their families have healthy babies for 23 years, hosted its “Healthy Beginnings, Bright Futures” at Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel in Anaheim to honor MOMS Orange County’s “Mother of the Year” and promote the importance of early infant development to more than 185 attendees. Emmy Award-winning KTLA 5 reporter and Weekend Morning News anchor Lynette Romero served as emcee of the fifth annual event, which was presented by Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian and raised more than $58,000 for the organization. For more than two decades, MOMS Orange County has served mothers from all walks of life, all facing different challenges. What these women have in common is their decision to pursue a healthy, positive future for her family. And every year, MOMS Orange County recognizes one client who excels in her pursuit, setting an example for her family as well as the community at large. This year, Fountain Valley resident Gina Pito earned the “Client Mother of the Year” award. This Orange County native suffered injuries from a car accident 13 years ago, which left her confined to a wheelchair. The executive director of Readiness Learning Associates, Carrie Lynne Draper wowed those in attendance with research suggesting that even newborns and babies can explore their own learning processes using STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). During her presentation she invited the audience to integrate their understanding of the real world by exploring the texture, smell and color of real oranges from the table centerpiece. Guests enjoyed a lovely luncheon which included Paradise mixed greens sweet pear tomatoes, dried cranberries, toasted pine nuts with herb dressing. Main course attendees enjoyed had a herb marinated breast of chicken with roasted shallot sauce, wild mushroom pilaf and seasonal vegetables and for dessert, a fresh fruit tart with mango mint coulis. A Grand Prize Drawing was hosted for a chance to win a day at Disneyland Resort for a family of four donated by The Disneyland Resort. Attendees also had the chance to enter opportunity drawings to win fine dining, sports and entertainment experiences donated by the Aquarium of the Pacific, Marriott Anaheim, and many more. Highlights included a $200 gift card to Fig & Olive Restaurant and a romantic one-night stay-cation at the Anaheim Marriott. The Fund-a-Need portion of the event raised over $9,000 to support MOMS Orange County’s Infant Health and Development Program, which can reduce and even prevent long-term developmental delay consequences through developmental screenings, education and referrals. Event funds will enable MOMS Orange County to continue to expand its critical work in supporting women and their families at one of the most crucial times in their lives when they first take on the enormous responsibilities and challenges of motherhood. For 23 years, MOMS Orange County has been helping at-risk mothers and their families have healthy babies by providing access to prenatal care, health screenings, infant development screenings, health education and referral services through monthly home visits and group classes. Mothers receive one-on-one education and support during pregnancy to help increase their chance of delivering a healthy baby. After babies are born, the focus turns to promoting their healthy growth and development so they grow up happy, healthy and ready to learn.

PACIFIC SYMPHONY NAMES ACCOMPLISHED YOUNG MAESTRO, ROGER KALIA, AS NEW ASSISTANT CONDUCTOR Pacific Symphony announces Roger Kalia as its next assistant conductor, beginning in September. Kalia replaces Assistant Conductor Alejandro Gutiérrez, who after three years with the Symphony returns home to Costa Rica to take on the roles of professor at the University of Costa Rica and guest conductor for the National Symphony Orchestra. Gutiérrez’ final concert takes place at the Symphony’s Summer Festival on Saturday, July 25, when he leads “Beethoven’s ‘Emperor’ and Scheherazade.” With a great deal of experience as a conductor and educator, Kalia, age 30, comes to Orange County from the Charlotte Symphony, where he has served as assistant conductor since September 2013. In his new role, Kalia will serve as conductor of the Symphony’s Family Musical Mornings concerts and music director of Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra. Among his duties, the new assistant conductor will lead the youth orchestra on its tour to China next fall. “I am thrilled and honored to be the next assistant conductor of Pacific Symphony,” says Kalia. “I am very much looking forward to making music with the fantastic musicians of Pacific Symphony and working closely with Music Director Carl St.Clair. I am also excited to connect with our audience and to play a vital role in Orange County’s cultural scene.” Maestro Kalia led a variety of performances for the Charlotte Symphony including the family, education, outreach and parks concerts, and he also collaborated frequently with the Charlotte Ballet. He’s been praised for conducting with “vigor” and “commitment” (Charlotte Observer) and for bringing a “fresh view to classical music” (The Republic). Kalia also finishes up three years as music director of the Young Musicians Foundation (YMF) Debut Orchestra in Los Angeles. Winner of YMF’s 2012 National Conductor Search, he follows in the footsteps of such illustrious conductors as Michael Tilson Thomas, André Previn and Myung-Whun Chung. “We are all very excited that Roger will be joining our Pacific Symphony Page 14
family as assistant conductor,” says Maestro St.Clair. “He is a conductor with immense talent and great passion. Though relatively young, he has amassed a great deal of experience as a conductor. His conducting successes have garnered him national attention. I welcome him and look forward to having him as an assistant.” In addition to assisting Maestro St.Clair with conducting duties, Kalia will play a vital role in the Symphony’s education initiatives. These include programming and conducting the Family Musical Mornings series, which introduces children ages 5-11 to the exciting world of orchestral music through engaging and educational concerts. He will also welcome more than 12,000 elementary schoolchildren to the concert hall at the end of each school year for the Class Act Youth Concerts, which conclude a year of music lessons and performances in Orange County schools given by Symphony musicians. His introduction to the Symphony audience takes place at the first family concert of the year, “Phantoms of the Orchestra,” on Saturday, Oct. 24. “With Roger, the Symphony will have an excellent musician and conductor, but most importantly a great person with wonderful energy and experience working with young artists and young audiences,” says departing Assistant Conductor Gutiérrez. Another primary role for Kalia will be serving as music director of Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra (PSYO), a premier training orchestra for instrumentalists in grades 9-12. In addition to preparing them for a threeconcert series each season, Kalia will also be guiding the orchestra on a 10-day international tour to China in the summer of 2016. “One of the greatest joys of working with young musicians is their curiosity and excitement about music,” says Kalia. “Many of them are encountering these masterpieces for the very first time, and their energy is simply contagious. “I am eager and excited to be going to China with Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra next year,” he continues. “Having the opportunity
The Ladera Ranch News
Roger Kalia to see and experience another culture is something that these young musicians will never forget. I, too, had the experience of visiting China as part of a youth orchestra when I was a junior in high school, and the trip made a huge lasting impression on me. Performing in different concert halls and seeing the sights and sounds of different cities in China inspired me to become a professional musician. This will be an elevating and transformative experience for these young musicians, and I can’t wait for this trip.” Kalia has proven to be a prolific leader in the music world through his appearances with orchestras across North America and Europe, as well as his innovative programming choices. Highlights from his time with YMF Debut Orchestra include a production of Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale” with actors Jack Black and Michael Lerner at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a unique concert titled “Gamer Jams: Music Behind the Screen” featuring
music by leading video game composers at the Ford Theater, and the orchestra’s debut performance at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels “Virgin of Guadalupe” Celebration, which was televised and streamed worldwide. Kalia has worked with many famous composers, commissioning and programming more than 100 works as an advocate for contemporary classical music. This fascination for the advancement of music in today’s world along with the reverence for the old masterpieces is expressed in Kalia’s co-founding and music directorship of the Lake George Music Festival in New York, which serves as a meeting point for composers and musicians from across the nation. Kalia’s many praiseworthy experiences are further bolstered by his acceptance of the BMI/Lionel Newman Conducting Scholarship and YMF Conducting Grant. He completed his work as a doctoral conducting fellow at Indiana University.

the history of the Sawdust festival The Sawdust was originally called the Laguna Artists and Gallery Owners Association after breaking away from the Festival of Arts in 1965, in protest of that show’s jurying system. That first festival was located on a vacant lot at the bottom of Park Avenue (on the Peacock lot) with only a few dozen exhibitors. It was called the ‘Rejects Festival’ by the media. There was no show in 1966, but the show did reappear, with more exhibitors, in 1967 on an empty lot on North Coast Highway (The Kronquist lot). That show was a great success and led to the artists moving to its current location on Laguna Canyon Road, leasing the property from Walter and Dorothy Funk, and when the artists spread sawdust on the ground to combat the dust and mud, the media called it the ‘Sawdust Festival,’ and that name has identified the show for decades. Looking for room to expand, in 1968 the show moved to its present three-acre site at 935 Laguna Canyon Road, welcoming one and all with the promise to educate the public as well as provide a sales outlet for unrestricted art.Today, artists demonstrate their art in designated “demo” booths where the public is invited to participate, as well as working in their own booths. The lovely eucalyptus grove with its rippling waterfall provides an irresistible background. The Sawdust Art Festival is truly
a local event. All artists exhibiting in the festival are residents of Laguna Beach. Unlike some other non-profit organizations dedicated to the arts, the Sawdust Art Festival’s administration is made up of exhibiting members. Each year, exhibiting artists are elected as members of the Board of Directors. In addition, booth locations are determined by an annual lottery, usually held in February. Because the show is non-juried, enthusiastic amateurs display their work along with accomplished veteran artists, providing the spice and variety that make every show different from the last. In keeping with the spirit of its beginnings, the Sawdust Art Festival intends to be different from other art shows, visualizing itself as an artists’ “happening” rather than a stuffy exhibit. To that end, the artists themselves build a unique village of individual booths from the ground up each summer. The architectural designs are as varied and interesting as the work they showcase. Once the booths are finished, the sawdust goes down, the landscaping goes in, music fills the air and once again the Sawdust Art Festival magically returns for another summer. It is truly a unique experience in the arts that brings visitors back year after year. To g e t m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n on the Sawdust Festival visit: sawdustartfestival.org
