Art-A-Fair Artists Come Together to Celebrate Return to Freedom

Return to Freedom, American Wild Horse Sanctuary (RTF) has been working tirelessly to protect America’s wild horses for over fifteen years. Founded by Neda DeMayo in 1997, RTF rescues entire herds, conserves rare breeds, educates tens of thousands of people on the benefit of a natural world, and lobbies for policies to protect the wild horse and its place on our American landscape Art-A-Fair Fine Art Festival now being held in Laguna Beach, CA has joined the fight to protect our wild horses, as selected artists from this year’s juried Festival are sharing in the painting of an official wild horse sculpture. Artists are now painting live in front of Art-A-Fair attendees through August 25 and have a great opportunity to meet the artists and to be photographed with the first sculpture to support this worthy cause. The horse will be sold to benefit RTF on August 26 and proceeds will be presented to Return to Freedom to support their programs, including protecting the freedom, diversity and habitat of America’s wild horses. The Art-A-Fair Return to Freedom

Horse benefit will be the kick off of the partnership between Breton Associates and RTF, to produce “A Horse of a Different Color” (HDC) a traveling/for purchase art exhibit, where celebrity supporters will ultimately paint 50 to 60 mustangs to benefit the Sanctuary. Breton Associates, producers of the recent, and very successful Elephant Parade America, has created (HDC) to raise much-needed funds and awareness for the plight of America’s wild mustangs. Modeled after the hugely successful Elephant Parade America, which raised almost $300,000 in the US for the endangered Asian Elephant, HDC will begin the campaign with colorful and unique hand painting of twodozen, three quarter size fiberglass equine statues painted by celebrities and notables in the horse world. Discover one of Southern California’s best kept secrets – ArtA-Fair- a journey into world class art. Unique among local cultural events, Art-A-Fair features 125 juried artists and master craftsmen.

Simple Meets Special for Summertime Brunch Gathering with friends and family for brunch is a fun and budgetfriendly entertaining alternative. To transform a brunch celebration from average to outstanding, follow some simple tips from Hollywood chef and caterer Paul McCullough. “Brunches are the entertaining solution for any occasion. They’re great for baby showers, birthdays, family reunions, weddings, or just gathering for fun. There’s something revitalizing about friends and family coming together in the late morning, enjoying great food, coffee and conversation,” says McCullough. To get started, plan the menu around one of McCullough’s simple, yet crowd-pleasing recipes: Coffee Granita: Brew two cups of double strength coffee. Pour into a bowl and stir in a quarter cup of sugar until dissolved. Cool to room temperature. Mix in one-half cup half and half. Place in an 8-inch square dish and freeze two to two and a half hours. After the first hour, use a fork to scrape up the coffee crystals; scrape again at the second hour mark. Keep in the freezer until ready to serve. For an upscale presentation, serve in a martini glass and top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate. McCullough recommends using Starbucks Natural Fusions Vanilla Page 4

flavored coffee for this refreshing treat because unlike other flavored coffees, it’s made with natural flavors and real ingredients - like vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg - blended right in with the coffee. Super Hero Scramble: Mix one pound sautéed spinach, one pound browned and crumbled turkey sausage, and one-half cup julienned sundried tomatoes, then set aside. Scramble eggs until almost done but still soft. Fold the spinach mixture through; then sprinkle with eight ounces of seasoned feta. “A brunch should incorporate elements of breakfast and lunch with harmony. Contrast sweets like blueberry muffins and coffee-glazed scones with savory elements, like smoked salmon with capers and onions. Or try a scramble with new flavor combinations like chicken and asparagus or crab and avocado with a dollop of sour cream and chives,” McCullough suggests. Once you’ve decided on the menu, set the stage for a special morning with these fresh presentation ideas: * Liven up bread baskets by lining them with fresh rosemary for added color and aroma. * A cheese board makes for an attractive and functional display. Create the perfect mix of flavors

The Ladera Ranch News

with this twist on a familiar adage: Something old, something new, something smoked, something blue (e.g., aged cheddar, fresh bocconcini mozzarella, smoked Gouda and blue cheese). Water crackers and sliced baguettes will round out the presentation nicely. * Create centerpiece arrangements using colorful veggies like Swiss chard, kale, parsley and bok choy. These beautiful and unique displays will cost less money than flowers, and can be incorporated into a meal

in the near future. * An omelet bar requires a fair amount of prep work for all the toppings, but it’s a real favorite for guests and a sure way to satisfy picky eaters. Just remember to keep the guest list small or enlist a co-chef to handle all the enthusiastic orders. Owner of Paul’s Kitchen catering business, McCullough specializes in classic American cuisine and is known for his simple and down-toearth approach to cooking, resulting in upscale food that’s not uptight.

“Cowboy Up.”was the slogan of the Pro Rodeo Tour, the slogan of bull riders and rodeo competitors at every level of the game. No matter how hard the hit, whatever the level of injury, a cowboy didn’t stay down. He got up and shook off the pain...’Cowboy Up’ the words had come to define the cowboy mentality, the rodeo way of life. Riders had two choices: Cowboy Up or go home. ~Dan Daily, World Champion Bronc Rider 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.

Viejo Rodeo, now celebrating its 10 year anniversary at the scenic Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park at San Juan Capistrano! “Hosting the Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo for the past 10 years has allowed us to share our proud Western heritage; and we are pleased to once again bring the sport of rodeo to our south Orange County neighbors,” said Gilbert Aguirre, Rodeo Committee President and Executive Vice President, Ranch Operations at Rancho Mission Viejo. “All eyes in the world of rodeo are on San Juan Capistrano as the superstars of professional rodeo compete for one of the largest purses offered anywhere – in one of the best rodeo venues ever!” Sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association

(PRCA), the Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo has earned a reputation as “the place to be” every August as the greatest cowboys in America gather to compete for prize money and for a cherished spot at the National Finals Rodeo, held every December in Las Vegas, NV. This year’s Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo will include many of the best and most famous cowboys competing in: Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Steer Wrestling, Tie Down Roping, Team Roping, and Bull Riding. Plus, Rodeo attendees will be invited to enjoy old-fashioned family fun both days of the Rodeo with games, music, an evening concert with dancing, and more than fifty different vendors and lots of entertainment for the whole family! “We welcome everyone to the Rodeo,” said Aguirre. “The Ranch family is proud of its ranching heritage and holds dear to the authentic and honest values embraced by the American cowboy. We are committed to the preservation of the cowboy way of life right here at Rancho Mission Viejo.” The Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo is good old entertainment for the entire family, not to mention the richest 2-day rodeo in the nation with a purse totaling over $200,000. The top 30 rodeo contestants in saddle bronc and bareback riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, bull riding

and team roping will come to San Juan Capistrano for this chance of a lifetime. Celebrating the golden age of early California history and the American West, Rancho Mission Viejo has committed to the preservation of the cowboy way of life. Carrying on the cowboy tradition of “passing the hat” in support of a sick child or needy friend, all proceeds from the rodeo will benefit local charities. The Ranch family made the commitment to sponsor and conduct the annual Rodeo to help perpetuate the tradition of rodeo and to pay tribute to the sport, to the heritage of the land, and to raise funds for local charities. To date, The Rodeo has distributed more than $1.3 million to local charities in San Juan Capistrano and continues to provide support for important San Juan Capistrano charities. The funds raised help honor the old cowboy tradition of “passing the hat” in support of a family in need. Over the years, all proceeds from the Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo have been donated to such charities as CHOC at Mission Hospital and J.F. Shea Therapeutic Riding Center. Admission: Adults – $30, Kids (4 to 12 years) – $10, 3 & Under – Free * Parking included w/ purchase of Adult ticket For more information go to: rmvrodeo.com

Fashion Gets Re-cycled At Laguna Beach Festival of Arts The Laguna Beach Festival of Arts “Festival Runway Fashion Show” was a crowd-awing hit this year as Festival exhibitors competed to win cash prizes showing off their recycled creations where fashion meets art. The show is somewhat like “Project Runway” where artists are pitted against each other to see who would create the most inspired couture using reclaimed, reused or recycled material. In its sixth year, the show offered cash prizes of $1,000 in four of the categories. “Festival Runway Fashion is one of the Festivals most popular events of the summer,” said Susan Davis, director of special events for the Festival of Arts. “Every year seems to up the ante, and this year certainly didn’t disappoint!” Celebrity fashion critic known for his “Best and Worst Dressed” list, Steven “Cojo” Cojocaru moved from his post as a celebrity judge at last year’s runway show to celebrity host this year. With his quick humor and somewhat off colored jokes, taking the stage you could feel he loved the spotlight. Selecting the winners were a panel of judges with fashion and artistic backgrounds including celebrity judge supermodel Kim Alexis. Alexis has been featured in over 500 magazine covers, worked as a fashion correspondent on Good Morning America and appeared in countless commercials. Also judging the couture was Laguna College of Art and Design (LCAD) President Jonathan Burke and production and set designer Nelson Coates. Competing for the top prizes were festival exhibitors Luciano Bortone, Antje Campbell, W. Bradley Elsberry, Richard A. Evans, Jessica deSteano, Elizabeth McGhee, Adam Neeley, Mariana Nelson, Jon Seeman, Dan Skaggs, John Tolle, and Kirstin Whalen. Winners who walked away with bragging rights for the categories were Brad Elsberry for Most Creative Concept. With a dramatic entrance of a cape covered model (the cape was recycled drapes purchased from a Thrift Shop) underneath, his model walked the runway with about 40 pounds of various recycled copper wiring wrapped around her. Kirstin Whalen won for Most Exciting Ensemble with a fun creation made out of maps, with the title of her piece appropriately named “Queen of the Road”. With the bodice cut from an old pillow case, painted and embellished with bicycle tires to look like lace, the skirt consisted of old AAA maps with a bicycle tire belt and a sprocket reflector buckle. Most Innovative Use of Materials went to Antje Campbell; with textures of steel, glass, wood that were integrated together to create the inspiration from characteristics of one of her favorite Frank Gehry buildings located in her home country of Germany – Parisier Platz in Berlin. Adam Neeley took home both the Most Glamorous “Red Carpet” Worthy Creation and the People’s Choice award for his ensemble “Oceana” – a haute couture inspired by the ocean. The hand-crafted burlap fascinator was adorned with found flowers and shells with a necklace made from cork, speaker wire, pink salt, sugar pearl, and leaves. The skirt was creatively put together from window screens, Tiffany tissue paper, cellophane, 38 yards of brown craft paper perforated and painted with rust-oleum and glitter to give it a couture look! As one of the nation’s oldest and most highly acclaimed juried fine art shows, the Festival of Arts features the artwork of 140 award-winning artists. Patrons can enjoy the work of exhibiting artists, demonstrations and art workshops, daily art tours, live music, special events, dine at on-site restaurants and much more. The Laguna Beach Festival of Arts continues through August 30th, visit LagunaFestivalofArts.org for more information. Page 12

Don’t Let Back-to-School Tasks Sneak up on You By Jason Alderman Parents, if this is your first time at the back-to-school rodeo, let me share a few lessons my wife and I have learned the hard way. Chances are you’ll be spending the next few weeks filling out piles of pre-enrollment paperwork, lining up carpools and, of course, taking the dreaded shopping excursions for clothes and school supplies. If you’re a first-timer or simply need a back-to-school refresher course, here are a few suggestions that can help you save time, money and sanity: Get organized. Maintain a correspondence file from your kid’s school for things like registration requirements, report cards, permission slips, required vaccinations, school policies, teacher and parent contact information, etc. Ask whether the school has a website, online calendar or email list you can join. Also, create a family master calendar. Back-to-school shopping. Between new clothes, classroom supplies and extracurricular activity fees and equipment, many parents end up spending hundreds of dollars per child. Ideally, you’ve been setting money aside all year. If not, you’ll need to determine what you can afford to spend without blowing your

overall budget. Here are a few organizational and money-saving tips: • Before you shop, make a comprehensive list for each child. Use previous years’ expenses as a guide and compare notes with other parents and school officials. • Engage your kids in the budgeting process. Share how much money is available to spend and get them involved in prioritizing expenses between “needs” and “wants.” • Go through your kids’ closets and have them try on everything. Make an inventory of items that fit and are in good shape, and take it when shopping so you don’t accidentally buy duplicates. (While you’re at it, share, sell or donate unneeded items.) • Spread clothing purchases throughout the year so your kids don’t outgrow everything at once. Many stores hold fall clearance sales to make room for holiday merchandise. • Review the school’s dress code so you don’t waste money on inappropriate clothing. • Although shopping online can save money, time and gas, don’t forget to factor in shipping and return costs, which could undo any net savings. If your kids are old enough, put them in charge of online

comparison shopping and coupon clipping. • Ask which school supplies you’re expected to buy. Go in with other families to take advantage of volume discounts and sales. • Find out how much extracurricular activities (athletics, music, art, etc.) cost. Account for uniforms, membership dues, private lessons, field trips, snacks, etc. • Rent or buy used sporting equipment or musical instruments until you’re sure they’ll stick with an activity. • Know when to spend more for higher quality. Cheaper notebook paper shouldn’t matter, but don’t buy poorly made shoes that might hamper proper physical development. • Before buying new clothing or accessories, look for “gently used” items in the closets of your older kids and friends, at garage sales, thrift and consignment stores and online. • Clip newspaper and online coupons. Many stores will match competitors’ prices even if their own items aren’t on sale. Plus, many consolidation websites post downloadable coupons and sale codes for online retailers, including: CouponCabin.com, CouponCode. com, CouponCraze.com, DealHunting.com and Dealnews. com.

• Mobile shopping apps let in-store smartphone and mobile browser users scan product barcodes and make on-the-spot price comparisons, read reviews, download coupons, buy products and more. • Follow your favorite retailers on Facebook and Twitter, where many post special savings for their followers. Bottom line: If you get organized before setting out on back-to-school shopping, you can save money, time and aggravation. Jason Alderman directs Visa’s financial education programs.

The Pageant of the Masters is the Festival of Arts’ crowning jewel and arguably one of the most unique productions in the entire world. It is world-renowned in the artistry and theatrical illusion of living pictures. Each night during the summer season

at 8:30 the Festival of Arts presents this famous attraction. A ninety-minute stage show of “living pictures” – incredibly faithful art re-creations of classical and contemporary works with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces. An outdoor amphitheater, professional orchestra, original score, live narration, intricate sets, sophisticated lighting, expert staff, and hundreds of dedicated volunteers have won recognition for the Pageant as the best presentation of its kind. Everyone loves a good mystery, especially in the world of art. You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out whodunit when The Art Detective, the 2014 Pageant of the Masters, is on the case. The Festival of Art’s world famous theatrical celebration of art in tableaux vivants – “living pictures” – will reveal how lost treasures were discovered, where crimes of passion were uncovered (or covered up) and how creative riddles were unraveled, with a gallery of the world’s great masterpieces providing the clues! The stories and revelations are sure to provide fun for the whole family and be anything but elementary.
