KIM ALE XIS IS FESTIVAL’S CELEBRITY JUDGE
Model Kim Alexis will serve as the celebrity judge at the “Festival Runway Fashion” show on Saturday, Aug. 2 from 1-4 p.m. Celebrity fashion critic Steven “Cojo” Cojocaru moves from his post as a celebrity judge from last year’s show to the celebrity host. The Festival of Arts is known for putting on truly unique and imaginative events, and for the sixth
Steven “Cojo” Cojocaru
year in a row, Festival artists will make fashion their medium at the show, which is free with Festival of Arts admission. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill fashion show. Just like TV’s “Project Runway,” see who’s “in” and who’s “out” this year as Festival artists compete to create the most inspired couture using reclaimed, reused, or recycled materials. See where fine art meet high fashion. Alexis has been featured in over 500 magazine covers and six Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues, worked as a fashion correspondent on Good Morning America and appeared in countless commercials for companies such as Revlon and Gillette. In recent years Alexis has deemphasized her career in favor of raising her children. During this time, however, her image has evolved; to a large extent, as the result of hundreds of speaking engagements at events sponsored by organizations around the country on topics ranging from health and nutrition, to fitness, parenting, self improvement and women’s empowerment.
Kim Alexis As people become more aware that Alexis has been a hands-on mother to her three boys (the oldest being 28), that she overcame a serious thyroid disorder, and that she has intelligent, well-informed views on issues that matter to their lives, her credibility
invariably rises in categories that extend well beyond fashion. Alexis also has been a dedicated athlete all of her life: She was a competitive swimmer in high school, and has completed eight marathons and three triathlons.

The Laguna Beach Festival of Arts Foundation Grant Fuels Big Dreams of Laguna College of Art and Design Students
Laguna College of Art and Design (LCAD) announced they received a grant totaling $5,000 from The Laguna Beach Festival of Arts Foundation. The grant funds go directly to LCAD students in the form of scholarships that assist with tuition and materials. “The Laguna Beach Festival of Arts Foundation continues to be a valuable partner since it co-founded our college by providing much needed financial support to our talented artists in training,” said President Jonathan Burke. “We know how important scholarships are to our students and their families and we are very grateful for the continued generosity of our friends at The Laguna Beach Festival of Arts Foundation.” Monica Magana, 21, was one of two students who received The Laguna Beach Festival of Arts Foundation Scholarship for 2013-2014. These funds allowed her to stay on track for graduation in 2015. “When I first toured campus, I knew this was the place,” she said. “But when I was accepted, my family and I weren’t sure we could afford it. The financial aid package of scholarships,
grants and loans opened the door for me and I love the opportunity to live and study in Laguna Beach.” Magana is majoring in Illustration with an emphasis in Fine Art Painting. Her work has been exhibited in galleries in Los Angeles and Orange County. Not only have these scholarship funds covered tuition, but they have also helped her with materials to complete her work as well as the opportunity to meet leading artists in her field of study. “Federico D’Alessandro, the lead storyboard artist for Marvel, came to campus for a presentation and afterwards, I told him that this was exactly what I want to do,” Magana said. “He asked me to send my portfolio and helped me develop a body of work and website that steered me in the right direction.” To date, the Festival of Arts along with the Foundation cumulatively has awarded over $3 million for student scholarships. Disciplines for which scholarships are awarded are Visual Arts, Film, Performing Arts (Dance, Music, and Theater Arts, including Performance and Production), and
Monica Magana Writing. “Through our strong ties to the Festival of Arts and the foundation, LCAD is the creative engine of California’s artistic future,” Burke added. “By grounding our students in the fundamentals of fine art training, they graduate into careers in the fine arts as well as the state’s growing industries in animation, graphic design, action sports design,
illustration and game art.” Historically, the Festival Arts, led by Artist and Philanthropist Nellie Gail Moulton co-founded the college. The grounds housed the original classrooms where artists such as Rex Brandt taught. Hundreds of LCAD alumni and faculty have been part of the Festival of Arts, including recent graduate Elizabeth McGee.

You love the great outdoors, you really do but you were somehow gifted with that sweet blood mosquitoes crave. Not only that but your body simply doesn’t do well sleeping on the ground and, let’s be honest, it takes no small amount of lighter fluid and matches for you to warm your hands over an open fire. Tr a v e l i n s p i r a t i o n w e b s i t e DreamPlanGo suggests you go “glamping” instead. Short for glamorous camping, glamping gives travelers the best of both indoor and outdoor worlds. As in, explore the majesty of Yellowstone, but return to a down bed and gourmet meal at the
end of the day. Sound alright? Keep reading. Choosing your glampsite - Unlike traditional camping where pitching a tent and maybe inflating an air mattress are your only accommodation options, glamping offers you much more to choose from. Does a treetop abode with running water and goose-down comforters speak to you? What about a yurt or villa? Regardless of your budget, country preference or sleeping needs, you’re bound to find a glampsite that speaks to you. No need to pack - You’ll still need to bring clothes, of course, and hiking gear, but no need to do the
heavy lifting. Leave the cookware, lanterns, sleeping bags and clumsy tent at home. What you’ll be doing - The beauty of glamping is that you can still enjoy the rush of fly fishing and reinvigorating hikes, you just won’t have to worry about meals or getting a poor night’s sleep. Depending on where you glamp, you may even have access to more activities and excursions than you would camping. Many hosts are extremely knowledgeable and will go to great lengths to ensure you have memorable experiences to write home about.
Many of the qualities that come so effortlessly to dogs loyalty, devotion, selflessness, unflagging optimism, unqualified love can be elusive to humans. ~Winston Churchill The Ladera Ranch News

Care of the “Knocked-Out tooth” It’s summertime. Better weather some how makes more opportunities to knock teeth out. Here’s what to do. If a baby tooth Dr. Michael Tessier gets knocked out, there’s not much that can be done. The adult teeth will be replacing them soon anyway. There are procedures to replace avulsed (knocked out) baby teeth for parents that are interested. It’s more likely that a baby tooth will me knocked way out of alignment, like pushed back into the mouth, but, amazingly, they migrate back to where they belong without any help. When an adult tooth is knocked out, most likely a front tooth because of the shape of the root, the most important factor for healing is immediate (less than five minutes) re-implantation; holding the tooth by the enamel part-the crown, rinse it off, stick it back in the hole, then hold it there until professional help can be contacted. There’s probably already pain, and fear, and bleeding, so any additional discomfort won’t be that noticeable. The first person prepared to re-implant the tooth should do
so- don’t wait for a dentist. Immediate re-implantation is always superior to storage out of the mouth, but if immediate re-implantation is not possible, storage in the patients’ own saliva followed by transfer to cold milk will maintain the root surface cells’ ability to assist healing for up to one hour. Keep the milk (and tooth) cold by packing the milk in ice during storage. Drying of the cells on the root surface drastically reduces their ability to assist healing. Water storage damages root surface cells. Water should only be used to rinse the root before re-implantation. I saw a forty-year-old last week who’d had a tooth re-implanted after it had been knocked out when he was an adolescent, and it was still in place. So, DON’T PANIC- RINSE THE TOOTH OFF, PUT IT BACK IN THE HOLE, HOLD IT IN PLACE, THEN SEE THE DENTIST. My office is located at Oso and Marguerite Parkways, down the walk from the carwash and Starbucks. My phone number is 949-459-7212. Don’t hesitate to call if you need immediate assistance, even on the weekends. Or, call if you have any questions. It’s always easier to treat any dental problems, like toothaches, when they become an issue, rather than waiting until Monday.

Top Tips for Training Your Dog Sit. Stay. Heel. These simple commands can make a huge difference in the life of a pet parent. Whether you’re introducing a new dog or puppy to the family, or you have a dog with some behavior issues, training can help ensure a well-adjusted pet and a happier family. According to the American Kennel Club, dog training can: Help your dog become a welcome member of the family and the neighborhood. Correct behaviors such as jumping on people, digging, chewing and barking. Provide mental and physical activities for your dog. Deepen the bond between you and your dog. Ensure your dog’s happiness and safety. Training You Can Do at Home Beyond teaching the basics of sitting and staying, training can include correcting behaviors. One common dog behavior that often needs correcting is jumping on people. “Dogs are sociable animals and often sniff muzzles when they greet each other,” said Debbie McKnight, training expert for PetSmart. “A dog that jumps on someone to greet
HAPPY GRAPES
them is often trying to make contact with the person’s face. It’s important to teach them an acceptable alternative for these social situations.” Teaching your dog to sit first and then allow interaction can be a good solution. Here are helpful tips on how to make your pet a great greeter: Have everyone that interacts with your dog ask him to sit as he approaches them. If he sits, they can bend down to greet him. If he jumps up, they stand up immediately, fold their arms and stare at the ceiling, repeating the signal to sit. As soon as he sits, reward him by continuing with the greeting. It’s important to reward your pet so they are constantly being reminded of how to behave. At PetSmart, trainers offer treats and verbal applause to dogs after a job well done. At home pet parents can use treats or fun toys as a reward to encourage positive behavior. Take Your Dog to School Professional training classes are beneficial for many dogs and are available for several different levels, from basic classes that can help them socialize properly, to more advanced classes that can keep them safe and
correct behaviors. At PetSmart, local store trainers work with you and your dog for six weeks, teaching techniques for you to practice at home. Goals for each level of training are different and are set by the pet owner based on what they learn in class. For example: Beginner dog goals may include: Not jumping on people Loose leash walk around the block Intermediate dog goals may include: Three minute down-stay Heeling down the block Advanced dog goals may include: Heeling through a crowd
“Go to your bed” when the doorbell rings Coming when called at the dog park Professional training is a complement to what you do at home, and practice is important at all levels. As a dog progresses through training, pet parents should make the behaviors they ask for harder during everyday practice. So rather than a basic sit before his meal, for example, try a sit-stay command for 15 seconds from 10 feet away.

Embracing the Rhone Rangers
By David White “Raise your hand if customers regularly come in and ask for a good Cabernet.” I recently issued this directive to a group of 40 sommeliers, retailers, and other wine industry insiders from across Washington, D.C. Unsurprisingly, just about every hand shot up. I quickly spoke again. “Raise your hand again if customers frequently come in and ask for a good Chardonnay.” Again, just about every hand went up. “Now,” I continued, “raise your hand if a single customer has asked for Grenache or Mourvedre in the past month.” Not a single hand went up. “What about Carignan? Piquepoul?” While several attendees chuckled, no hands were raised. The 40 industry insiders had
gathered to explore the market’s support for the 22 grape varieties that hail from France’s Rhone Valley. Several dozen wine producers from across the United States who embrace these varieties were in town, so I moderated a panel discussion among eight of them. I opened with this thought experiment to illustrate how gutsy it is to focus on unusual varieties. Sure, oenophiles recognize that one can only drink so much Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. But the average consumer is unfamiliar with -- and intimidated by -- Rhone varieties like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre. I left with the distinct feeling that things are changing, fast. Consider the surging popularity of serious rosé. While consumers once associated domestic rosé with cheap, sweet “blush” wines like Sutter Home’s White Zinfandel, more and more domestic rosé is dry and refreshing. Many of America’s top pink wines are produced from red Rhône varieties, mimicking the storied rosés of Provence. Jason Haas, the general manager of Tablas Creek in Paso Robles, California, offered attendees his Patelin de Tablas rosé, a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Counoise.
Haas has increased production of rosé over each of the last several years, but can barely keep up with demand. He’s convinced that because consumers now know that nothing beats a crisp rosé on a hot summer day, they’ll become more comfortable with Rhone varieties. Knowledgeable, approachable sommeliers are also promoting Rhone varieties. Once upon a time, high-end restaurants employed snooty sommeliers who pushed expensive, predictable wines. Today, however, high-end restaurants are staffed with hip sommeliers who are better described as wine educators. They listen to what consumers want. And most of these sommeliers are quite fond of the Rhone Valley and its imitators. Last year, wine writer W. Blake Gray made a compelling case that most steakhouse patrons are looking for “a Grenache/Syrah blend, but they want it to be called Cabernet.” He’s right. At steakhouses, especially, nothing pleases more patrons than a dark, spicy red, without a strong tannic structure. This came up while attendees tasted a Grenache from William Allen, the vintner behind Two Shepherds. One sommelier attending the panel discussion jumped in to argue that
steakhouse patrons have always been asking for Grenache, Syrah, and red Rhone blends -- just not by their names. Now that sommeliers almost universally pay attention to customers, he expects restaurant sales of Rhone varieties to rise. Virtually everyone agreed. Trend-setting consumers are also beginning to look for wines sourced from California’s oldest vineyards, many of which include a host of Rhone varieties. While these wines are typically blends, many are just a single variety. David Gates, who heads up vineyard operations for Ridge, brought attendees a Carignan from Buchignani Ranch, a site that was planted over about 25 years beginning in 1927. Consumers are flocking to wines like this because they’re jewels of an earlier time and show that there’s more to California than Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Producers who focus on Rhone varieties still have their work cut out for them. But for good reason, they’re increasingly optimistic. David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com, which was named “Best Overall Wine Blog” at the 2013 Wine Blog Awards. His columns are housed at Grape Collective.

Olympic Gymnast & Actress Cathy Rigby Joins 10th Annual 44 Women for Children Luncheon Photos by Ann Chatillon More than 200 Orange County ladies (and a few men too) gathered at The Grand Terrace at Honda Center to raise money for scholarships so that local foster teens can achieve their dreams of attending college. The luncheon was presented by Orangewood Children’s Foundation’s 44 Women for Children auxiliary. Major sponsors included the Samueli Foundation, Wanlyn Bejach, and David Yurman. An opportunity drawing was held, nine items were up for grabs plus a premium opportunity drawing for a chance to win a David Yurman necklace and earring set valued at $4700. The winner of the jewelry was Michelle Schmit of Huntington Beach. Prior to the program starting, co-chairs Terri Ellison and Linda Thauer welcome everyone, and then lunch was served. Guests were delighted with Fried Brussel Salad, along with the entrée of a Duet of Bourbon Glazed Pork Tenderloin alongside Chicken Breast Roulade Florentine served with Rice Pilaf, Carrots and Asparagus. Dessert was a yummy mixed Fruit Truffle. Orangewood scholarship student Jacob Lindamood shared about his difficult childhood as “that” family in the neighborhood. The police were often called to the house. When Lindamood was 12 his dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and died just two days before Lindamood’s 13th birthday. A few months later, his mom was arrested and the brothers were taken to the Orangewood Children’s Home (now called the Orangewood Children & Family Center). While the brothers enjoyed the Home and were encouraged by the staff, Lindamood says, “It was hard to think about the reality of the situation. I held out hope that my mom would get sober and come get us. I thought that the one thing that would get her to stop using drugs would be losing her children. But she just kept failing the drug tests.” The three brothers lived in foster care for a year and then were taken in by their aunt and uncle in Boston. With their encouragement and the financial support from Orangewood Children’s Foundation, Lindamood just completed his first year at Babson College in Boston. He concluded his remarks saying, “I believe everyone has potential inside them but it takes someone else to shine the light and show them they have it. For many kids in foster care, Orangewood is the only source of that light, the only source of help and encouragement in their lives.” Guest speaker Cathy Rigby shared both the triumphs and struggles of her life. She was born two and a half months early weighing a little more than three pounds. Like Jacob, she too had an alcoholic parent – her father who was unemployed throughout her childhood while mom raised the five children. She spoke about her successes in women’s gymnastics, as the highest ranking U.S. female gymnast in an era when the sport was dominated by the Russians and the Germans. She said, “Dysfunction and crisis make you hungry and drive you to do great things.” However, after an eating disorder which began in her later years of competition threatened her health, Rigby realized that her life wasn’t about her dad or gymnastics but about living. Since then she has been enjoying her second career - acting (she is best known for playing Tinkerbelle in Peter Pan). She summarized her four keys to success: 1) believe in yourself; 2) work hard; 3) acknowledge and savor the little successes; and 4) trust your instinct. Founded in 1999 by Susan Samueli, 44 Women for Children (WFC) contributes to Orangewood Children’s Foundation by nurturing, supporting and inspiring adolescents emancipating from the foster care system on their 18th birthdays. 44 WFC focuses on three key areas: providing mentoring and education; increasing community awareness about child abuse and neglect; and hosting annual fundraising events. www.44womenforchildren.org.

Keeping Fido Cool in the Dog Days of Summer The summer heat is coming. Soon you’ll be taking off for the beach and toting your favorite pooch with you. Just make sure you’re properly taking care of that beloved pet. Here are some basics for keeping Fido cool in the dog days of summer. Control the environment As a responsible pet owner, you always need to control the environment. That means keeping your dog safe from the summer heat. It may be fun to bring your dog everywhere you go, but it shouldn’t put his or her life at risk. If you travel with your pup, never leave them in the car unattended. In the heat of summer, the temperature in a car - even with the windows down - can kill an animal in less than ten minutes. If you can’t take your dog inside with you wherever you go, leave them home in the air conditioning. It may be the difference between life and death. Protect those paws One of the things some pet owners don’t realize is that the summer heat creates a potential for injury when walking your dog on hot pavement. Here’s the rule of thumb, if the
pavement is too hot for you to walk on in your bare feet, then it’s too hot for your dog, too. If puppy needs a summer stroll, make sure he or she is safe by putting a little dirt or grass under foot to protect those precious paws from potential road burn. Hydrate Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate - we can’t say it or do it enough during the summer. Remember to provide clean water for your dog everywhere you go. Bring along a bottle of water just for Rufus and an unbreakable bowl. Then remember to give him a refreshing drink every hour or so. That will help control body temperature from the inside out. Skip the haircut or don’t forget the sunscreen So many people think they’re doing their dog a favor by giving them a summer haircut. Well, that’s not necessarily the truth. In addition to keep them warm in the winter, a dog’s coat also acts as a natural sunscreen in the summer. Cut it and you may be exposing puppy to the danger of the sun’s rays. You can help by applying sunscreen
Summer clearance
to Fluffy’s “exposed” areas - including the tips of the ears and tail. However, be forewarned. Almost all dogs lick themselves and you’ll need to use a sunscreen made specifically for animals that is not harmful if ingested. Everybody in the pool Lastly, you might want to invest in a kiddie pool for your dog. It doesn’t have to be expensive. You can easily score a small plastic pool at your local discount store for under $20.
Whenever your pup wants to cool off, they can jump in and you won’t have to worry about getting dog hair stuck in the filter of your own pool. When in doubt, check it out - the Humane Society of the United States has great information about mixing summer sun with puppy fun. With a little thought, you’ll be able safely enjoy the season with your beloved pet and keep Fido cool in the dog days of summer.

Christ Cathedral to build Radio Broadcast Facility in Partnership with Immaculate Heart Radio
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange has begun construction of a radio broadcast facility within the iconic Tower of Hope on the Christ Cathedral campus. This facility will be capable of producing live and recorded shows and news coverage to be carried over Immaculate Heart Radio’s extensive broadcast network and locally at AM 1000. As part of this partnership the Diocese will support Immaculate Heart Radio as they boost the power of their radio signal to cover all of Orange County, making Catholic radio available to the more than 1.3 million Catholics within the Diocese. “As we transform the Christ Cathedral campus into a dynamic and inspirational center of Catholic worship and outreach, we are blessed to continue to build our capacity to touch the hearts of the faithful in new ways. Our partnership with Immaculate Heart Radio will profoundly benefit the mission of the Church and enable Catholics who spend a great deal of time in their cars to spend this time learning, experiencing and celebrating their faith,” said the Most Rev. Kevin Vann, Bishop of Orange. Page 14
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange acquired the former Crystal Cathedral in November of 2011 and took possession of the property in September of 2013. Shortly after moving onto the campus the Diocese began an extensive renovation to restore the 34 acre campus and its seven buildings to their former magnificence - upgrading them to modern earthquake and energy efficiency standards and accommodating the unique needs of a large and vibrant parish, Diocesan Pastoral Office and Catholic school. As part of the renovations of the campus, the Diocese has worked to develop the capacity to share its events, liturgical celebrations, news and other topics of interest with audiences throughout Southern California and the world. Last week the Diocese announced a unique partnership with the world’s largest religious media network, EWTN. This network has begun construction of a television studio and production facility that will share stories of faith from the Christ Cathedral with its audience of more than 230 million homes in 140 countries and territories. The new radio broadcast
The Ladera Ranch News
facility will complement the work being done with EWTN and will allow the Church to share the message of the Gospel and the profound love of Christ via radio broadcast, within the largest radio market in the world. “Immaculate Heart Radio is dedicated to spreading the knowledge, love and practice of the Catholic faith by means of radio. Our organization is blessed to join with the Diocese of Orange in transforming the Christ Cathedral into a beacon that inspires the faithful across the world and shares the love of Christ in new and innovative ways,” said Doug Sherman, president of Immaculate Heart Radio. “We are pleased to develop this firstof-its kind studio in Orange County in advance of the historic renovation of the Christ Cathedral itself. We will be well positioned and prepared to share news of this closely watched transformation with our listeners locally, on our 31 radio stations and translators in six western states, and with our streaming listeners throughout the country and around the world.” About IHR Immaculate Heart Radio is a lay apostolate dedicated to spreading
the knowledge, love and practice of the Catholic Faith by means of radio. Its programming content seeks to evangelize, inspire and enlighten. Immaculate Heart’s first station, K-IHM, named for the Immaculate Heart of Mary, began broadcasting in Reno, Nevada on January 2, 1997. At that time, KIHM was only the seventh full time Catholic radio station in the country. As of today, there are over 300 Catholic stations and translators nationwide and 31 of these are owned and operate by Immaculate Heart Radio. These Immaculate Heart Radio stations reach over 35,000,000 people in six western states. People can also listen to Immaculate Heart Radio at www.

Expert Answers to Common DMV Questions. By the California Department of Motor Vehicles
Do you have questions about general driving related requirements like registration, licensing and driver safety? Are you unclear about laws and restrictions related to driving? The California Department of Motor Vehicles has answers. “Save Time, Go Online,” at www.dmv.ca.gov. You can submit any DMV-related questions at AskDMV@dmv.ca.gov 1. Q. Can I just show up at a DMV field office and take a drive test, or do I need to have an appointment? A. No, DMV field offices require an appointment for a drive test. You can make a drive test appointment online atwww.dmv.ca.gov or by calling 1–800–777–0133. When you arrive for your drive test you will need your permit, vehicle registration, and auto insurance. More information can be found about drive test requirements by checking the California Driver Handbook or online. 2. Q. I read that Governor Brown signed a law that will allow undocumented people to obtain a driver’s license. Can you tell me when the law will take effect? A. You are correct, in October of last year Governor Brown signed AB 60, which requires DMV to issue driver’s licenses to undocumented drivers and becomes operative by January 1, 2015. In the meantime, DMV will adopt regulations that will detail how applicants can prove identity and California residency. DMV will also put into effect a plan to serve the approximate 1.4 million people who are estimated to apply for a license under the new law. DMV encourages future all applicants for a driver’s license, to prepare for
the written exam by studying the California Driver Handbook available on the DMV webpage atwww.dmv. ca.gov. The website also features sample tests that could be useful for the applicants. The California Driver Handbook is available in 10 languages at all DMV field offices: English, Armenian, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. 3. Q. I am going to start riding my bike to work and I know there are rules that apply to bicyclists. Where can I get information about bicycle rules and road safety? A. Bicycles on public roads have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists and are subject to the same rules and regulations. Information about bicycle rules and important safety tips are available by visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles website athttp://www.dmv. ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ ffdl37.htm. Since we’re on the topic of bicyclists, Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 1371, known as the Three Feet for Safety Act, which will require a motor vehicle driver passing a bicycle that is proceeding in the same direction to pass with no less than 3 feet between any part of the vehicle and any part of the bicycle or driver. When three feet is not possible, the motor vehicle must slow to a reasonable and prudent speed and only pass when no danger is present to the bicyclist. Failing to do so can incur a fine, regardless of a collision or not. This law will take effect September 16, 2014. 4. Q. I just received my driver license renewal notice in the mail.
Does it make any real difference if I mail my payment or renew online via the Internet? A. Congratulations on being eligible to renew by mail, internet or telephone! In order to renew by mail, you must complete the renewal notice and send a check or money order only payable to DMV in the amount due $33. Print your driver license number on the back of your check/money order. Renew early in order to receive your new license before your current driver license expires. Renewing by mail or online is also convenient, and therefore, it’s not necessary to visit a DMV office if you’re eligible to renew by mail, internet or by telephone. No additional fee is charged for renewing your driver license or identification card online. If you renew via Internet, you may receive your license up to 3 to 4 days sooner than regular mail processing. In addition, paying online diminishes the customer’s carbon footprint by going green, saving the cost of postage (as postage is going up to 49¢ for a First Class stamp, starting January 26th). Save Time, Go Online! Visit www.dmv.ca.gov or call 1-800-777-0133 for customer service. 5. Q. My father gave me his old car as a birthday present. Since it was a gift, do I still need to get a smog inspection? A. It depends. If you acquire a vehicle that is currently registered in California from a spouse, domestic partner, sibling, child, parent, grandparent or grandchild, you are entitled to an exemption from the smog inspection due when
transferring a vehicle, unless the vehicle is due for a biennial smog inspection because renewal fees are also due. Other family members or relations are not exempt and are required to obtain a smog inspection certification. For more information on the requirements of transferring a vehicle between family members, please visit www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/ brochures/howto/htvr1.htm. 6. Q. I just bought a boat. How do I know if it needs to be registered? A. In California, every sail powered vessel (boat) over eight feet in length and every motor driven vessel (regardless of length) that is not documented by the US Coast Guard and is used or on the waters of California are subject to be registered by the DMV. The vessel must be located in California. For detailed information on registering a vessel, please visit the following page on the California Department of Motor Vehicles web site: www.dmv.ca.gov/ boatsinfo/boatreg.htm. Save Time, Go Online!Doing business with the DMV has never been easier. The DMV offers an array of services to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through itsWebsite including online advance appointments for written and drive tests; vehicle registration and driver license renewals, selection of personalized license plates, changes of address and payment of fees via secure debit transactions. Customers can also effect transactions by calling DMV customer service at 1-800-7770133. DMV is a department under the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA).
