Is Your Pet Ready for labor day weekend Warm Weather Fun? Before heading outdoors, make sure your pet is ready for the season. Dr. Kemba Marshall, PetSmart veterinarian and pet care expert, knows it’s important to pay extra attention to your pet when temperatures climb. “Pet parents can make sure their pets stay comfortable, happy and healthy by preparing for the day ahead,” says Dr. Marshall. She suggests these tips for pet parents looking to include their canine companions in warm-weather activities. Keep pets groomed. A winter indoors often leaves pets with dry skin, tangled fur and a thick undercoat, which begins to shed when the weather warms. Take your dog to a professional grooming salon, like those found in PetSmart stores, to help keep them cool with services like a bath, brush or hair cut to remove loose hair. Have their skin and coat moisturized with a soothing conditioner and their nails trimmed. After grooming, brush your dog frequently and trim nails regularly to keep them clean and minimize dirt and debris collected from playing outdoors. Keep grooming tools, such as the Martha Stewart Pets Massager Brush and nail clippers, handy by hanging them behind the back door or tucking them into a basket.

Keep pets hydrated. Pets need lots of water, especially when it’s hot. Be sure to pack extra bottles of water for your dog when heading outdoors for a long hike, walk, jog or trip to the park. “Remember, if you’re feeling hot, tired and thirsty, your pet likely feels the same way,” says Dr. Marshall. Wet food also helps pets stay hydrated, so consider adding wet food to dry kibble, along with extra water. Keep pets sheltered. While the outdoors beckon pets to play, high temperatures can be dangerous. Keep your pet indoors during the hottest part of the day to help them avoid such conditions as dehydration, heatstroke and paw injuries from overheated pavement. Consider taking your dog to an indoor play center to keep them happy, such as the Doggie Day Camp at PetSmart. They’ll spend the day interacting and exercising with other dogs and trained pet-loving professionals while you’re at work or running errands. Keep pets pest-free. Pets are susceptible to a variety of bugs and pests – especially fleas and ticks. While fleas can trigger allergies and dermatitis, ticks may carry zoonotic diseases, which can be passed to humans. Purchase preventative collars

and topical treatments to protect your new faces. pet. And after every outdoor trip, inspect Going camping with pets. pets carefully for ticks and other insects Protect your dog’s feet with hiking to ensure their safety. booties. Come into the store with your Get pets ready to hit the road. dog so that booties can be fit properly.

Prepare pets for a long road trip in a crate by taking them on short drives while running errands around town. Your pet will acclimate to traveling in his crate before your vacation. Remember, however, not to leave pets in hot cars while you go into a store. Try using pheromone sprays and toys, which may help the pet feel calmer while inside his crate. Avoid plush toys, which can shred and be ingested. Dog training classes are a good way to be sure your pet is comfortable in different environments and around

Always remove the booties when you reach your destination or return to the campground so paws don’t get overheated. Avoid direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day and walk in shaded areas when possible. Always keep a fresh supply of drinking water on hand for your pet, and be sure to offer water at least hourly while hiking.

Easing stress during the busy back-to-school season

The easy breezy days of summer are coming to a close, and families everywhere are preparing to go back to school. For parents, this is a particularly challenging time of year. To help simplify and make this time more enjoyable, “The Lifestyle Mom” Dana Hilmer has a few tips for busy parents: 1. The temptation to sign your kids up for any and every extra-curricular activity is intense. Before you turn in registration forms, think through how each activity will impact both your children and your family’s priorities. Perhaps you want one day of the weekend free or you want to have dinner together four times a week. Once you have assessed your needs, ask yourself if each activity aligns with them. 2. You have heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and while it may be easy to provide a good breakfast for your kids, parents often forget about fueling up with the right breakfast for themselves. Perfect for eating on the go, belVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits come in two varieties, Mixed Berry and Oats-& Chocolate. They provide 11 grams of whole grains and contain no high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. Grab Page 4

a banana and a latte, and you have nutritious morning energy to help tackle whatever comes your way. 3. It may be easier said than done, but learn how to say “no.” Saying “no” gives you permission to say “yes” to things that are truly important to you. Next time you are asked to do something, let that person know that you need to check your calendar. That will give you time to decide if this new activity is truly worthy of your

The Ladera Ranch News

time, and to craft a polite explanation, if not. 4. Finally, create a to-do list that is realistic and achievable. Many people are guilty of having a huge to-do list and then feeling defeated at the end of the day when all of the boxes aren’t checked off. Often, a good chunk of things on that list probably have more to do with your own expectations than with what anyone else is expecting of you.

Start a to-do list with three sections: the priority of the day for yourself, the priority of the day for your family and the priority of the day for your work. Start with these items and only move on to the others once they’re done. Chances are the laundry can wait until another day. Your children going back to school doesn’t have to be stressful. With these tips you can enjoy this exciting, coming of age time with your family.

The history of labor day By Charlotte Raynor Labor Day is celebrated the first Monday in September in the United States. It is a formation of the labor movement and is committed to the financial and social accomplishments of the American workforce. It represents an annual national accolade to the contributions people have given to the affluence, strength, and welfare of our country. Labor Day’s Founder After more than 100 years after the first Labor Day celebration, there is even now some uncertainty as to who was the first to suggest the holiday for people in the workplace. Several accounts explain that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, was the initial person in proposing a day to pay tribute to those “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.” The fact of Peter McGuire being the founder of Labor Day has not gone uncontested. Numerous people think that Matthew Maguire, a machine operator, not Peter McGuire, created the holiday. The latest study appears to maintain the debate that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, suggested the holiday in 1882 while functioning as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. It is obvious that the Central Labor Union approved a Labor Day suggestion and selected a team to design a picnic and exhibition.

The Initial Labor Day The original Labor Day celebration was held on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in agreement with the policies of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union had its next Labor Day celebration a year later, on September 5, 1883. The first Monday in September was chosen in 1884 as the holiday, as initially suggested, and the Central Labor Union pushed for comparable associations in other cities to go along with the model of New York and commemorate a “workingmen’s holiday” on that day. The proposal broadened with the increase of labor groups, and in 1885 Labor Day was observed in many manufacturing places in America. The Legislation of Labor Day Over the years, the country gave growing importance to Labor Day. The first legislative acknowledgment came from municipal decrees passed during 1885 and 1886. From those

decrees grew the advance to secure state legislation. The first state bill was presented into the New York legislature, but the first to develop into law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. New Jersey, Colorado, New York and Massachusetts originated the Labor Day holiday by legislative ratification during that year. Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Nebraska followed the lead by the end of the decade. By 1894, 23 more states had approved the holiday in honor of people in the workplace and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act creating the first Monday in September of every year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories. These days, street parades and picnics celebrate Labor Day. Some of the time there are speeches by important men and women. Each year on the first Monday in September, we honor the American worker.

If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves. ~Lane Kirkland 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.

IT STARTS WITH ONE CAN TO FEED MILLIONS

7th Annual Orange County Canstruction® Competition during Festival of Children® at South Coast Plaza Tonight, nineteen local architectural, engineering, planning, and design teams will gather at South Coast Plaza for the annual Canstruction designbuild competition, in partnership with the South Coast Plaza, OC Food Bank, and the Festival of Children. Starting this Labor Day weekend and continuing through September 28th, Canstruction OC will have nineteen structures present throughout South Coast Plaza in conjunction with the Festival of Children. Teams have just twelve hours to create phenomenal structures built entirely out of canned food, all of which is donated to the OC Food Bank at the completion of the exhibition. Canstruction is using ‘one can’ as a catalyst for change to support the 400,000 food-insecure Orange County residents. In 2013, the event collected 48,741 pounds of food and along with donations provided more than 120,000 meals to the OC Food Bank, demonstrating that we can win the fight against hunger in Orange County. “In addition to collecting cans of food that will provide meals to thousands of hungry families in Orange County, Canstruction just as importantly raises awareness about the issue of hunger to over a million shoppers who will see the structures while they are on exhibit,” notes Mark Lowry, Director of the OC Food Bank. The star of last year’s build was KGTY’s “Wishing Away Hunger” Genie inspired by Disney’s Aladdin, which won one of only six awards at the 2013 International Canstruction Competition. While structures are judged by categories such as Best Use of Labels, Structural Ingenuity, and Best Meal, this year, Canstruction viewers can vote on their favorite sculptures for the People’s Choice Award. Awards will be given out at the “Can-Do Celebration” on September 11, 2014 at PIRCH (3303 Hyland Ave, Costa Mesa), one of this year’s major presenting sponsors. The Celebration is a great opportunity

for community-minded individuals to network and celebrate Orange County’s progress in the fight to end hunger and poverty. “Many people do not think Orange County is a place with thousands of struggling children, families, and seniors,” said Orange County Canstruction Event Co-Chair, Betsy Nickless, “With the economic challenges that we have been experiencing over the last couple of years, the number of individuals who are food insecure only continues to rise, and Canstruction has a plan to do something about it!” During each weekend in September, South Coast Plaza visitors will also benefit from the Festival of Children’s events to learn about child-focused charitable groups. Activities include arts and crafts, singing and dance performances, and much more. This September is special as Orange County also celebrates National Child Awareness Month (NCAM). NCAM is an effort led by Festival of Children Foundation to focus the attention of our nation on the most critical issues facing children today. “Canstruction OC is a wonderful complement to Festival of Children. The canned food structures are a creative way to raise awareness about the problem of hunger in Orange County,” added Sandy Segerstrom Daniels, Founder of Festival of Children Foundation. Canstruction OC starts with just one can to feed the hungry, lift the spirit, and change the world. It combines the fun of a design/build competition with an ingenious way to help feed hungry people. Together with the OC Food Bank, this year’s 7th Annual Canstruction event will put an end to hunger, one can at a time. ABOUT THE OC FOOD BANK The OC Food Bank, a program of Community Action Partnership of Orange County (CAPOC), has evolved into Orange County’s most comprehensive hunger-relief organization. Our aim is to make a positive impact in people’s lives by helping them meet basic needs and strengthen their support system. The OC Food Bank serves children, families, seniors, veterans, and disabled individuals. We have a stake in the health of our community and the ability to create real change in the lives of our neighbors. In 2013, CAPOC distributed more than 18 million pounds of food to Orange County residents. In addition to direct support, the OC Food Bank supplies 400 local charities with food. Our Food Bank mobilizes and directs resources to programs that assist, educate, and promote self-sufficiency. ABOUT CANSTRUCTION This annual event was initiated by the Society for Design Administration (SDA) in 1992 and 1993. Canstruction® events are now held in over 100 cities all over the world. During the first Canstruction® event in 1992, the Seattle Chapter of the Society of Design Administration held a food drive among architectural and

engineering firms in the Seattle area. A team of architects and engineers was chosen to build something out of all the cans assembled. Staring at a sea of cans, they decided to make a topographical map of the state of Washington. All of the food collected from the food drive was donated to the Seattle Second Harvest Food Bank, Food LifeLine. Their efforts resulted in a full range of coverage in the Seattle newspaper and the term “Canstruction®” was coined. In order to generate more enthusiasm for the food drive concept in the design industry, the New York and Denver chapters of the SDA took the concept and tweaked it, turning it into a full-scale design/ build competition in 1993. Under this framework, architectural and engineering firms entered teams to compete in designing and building structures that would be judged and awarded. The larger their structure, the more food would get donated. In 1999 Canstruction® obtained 501(c)(3) status as a charitable organization, with over ten million pounds of food having been donated to aid in the fight against hunger. Typical hosts include local chapters of SDA, AIA, and SMPS. Orange County Canstruction® is hosted by these three organizations together. Since 1992, Canstruction has contributed over 17.5 million pounds of food to community food banks demonstrating that we can win the fight against hunger. The Ladera Ranch News

Clambake Steams Up Funds for childrens bureau Photos by Ann Chatillon The annual Children’s Bureau Clambake steamed up fun and much-needed funds for Children’s Bureau at Upper Newport Bay in Newport Beach. More than 200 guests were on hand for the popular charity event that honored business and community leader Neal Aton and featured inspired cuisine by the Island Hotel, dancing under the stars with the Dwight Kennedy band, live auction, wine pull, heads and tails game, fireside s’mores and other clamfilled surprises. The evening raised $120,000 net for Children’s Bureau’s child abuse prevention programs in Orange County. After cocktails on the sand, guests were escorted to a lovely grass area complete with beach themed tables. Ladies were also given the opportunity to take off their high heel shoes and wear “flip flop sandals” generously provided by the Children’s Bureau (they think of everything!). The décor was absolutely beautiful and the view breathtaking. First course started folks off with field greens with roasted pears and candied pecans with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese with a Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing. The main course was a delightful “surf and turf” meal with grilled and marinated Filet with corn risotto, snap peas and carrots and a ½ grilled Lobster Tail with Lemon Beurre Blanc Sauce. It just melted in your mouth! Desserts were a Chef’s selection of mini pastries. Topping the evening properly in beach style fashion was a “Make Your Own S’mores” complete with roaring fire pits on the beach. The program started and after thanking everyone for helping out with the event. Children’s Bureau parent, JC Ancheta, shared her experience with the agency’s infant and toddler in-home prevention programs. Sarah Corrigan, Barbara Eidson and Lori Irving were the Event Co-Chairs; they lead a team consisting of Cindy Carter, Trish Coury, Terry Gene, Peggy Goldwater Clay, Ester Jones, Scott Marshall, Nadia Olstad, Marica Pendjjer, Beth Shields, Janice Sindoni Bachmann, Mary Tran, Bob Wentzel and Linda Wentzel. Presenting Sponsor was The Crean Foundation. Additional sponsors included Capital Group Companies, Inc., Carrington Charitable Foundation, Deloitte LLP, Disneyland Resort, Gnarly Head Wines, Ingram Micro, Inc., KSBR 88.5 FM, QBE, R-T Specialty, LLC, Sierra Nevada Investment Group LLC and Windes, Inc. Children’s Bureau helps more than 5,500 at-risk children and parents each year throughout Orange County with a variety of programs and services such as in-home counseling, parent education classes, collaborative participation in family resource centers, home visiting health programs and more.

Barbecue Recipes for Labor Day Make Your Barbecue on Labor Day a Success with These Recipes! By Carol Whyte Labor Day is a holiday that millions of Americans look forward to. Labor Day is also an important marker in our yearly calendar because it means the closing of swimming pools, no more wearing white, and it’s a time that many take their last vacation for awhile. It’s also a day to celebrate too! Many Americans have a barbecue, picnic, attend a parade, or even view fireworks if they can. If you’re one of the millions planning on having a Labor Day Barbecue, then you’ll want to check out the following recipes. Sweet Barbecue Sauce (I love anything sweet and the following recipe is delicious, especially on grilled chicken!) 1 cup ketchup ¼ cup apple juice ¼ cup apple cider vinegar ¼ cup of Worcestershire 1 teaspoon of garlic powder ½ teaspoon of onion powder Salt and Pepper to taste Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and mix. Bring to a boil and then allow the sauce to simmer for about 20 minutes. Another nice feature is to add apple

wood chips to your charcoal or gas grill before grilling the chicken. Sauce should be put on grilled chicken for the last 10-15 minutes of grilling. Beer Can Chicken This is an oldie but goodie! Try grilling your chicken using ½ a beer! The beer gives your chicken a very flavorful taste. You can add your favorite barbeque sauce for the last 10-15 minutes of grilling. ½ cup barbecue sauce (your home made recipe or store bought!) 1 12 oz. can of beer (need only ½) 1 tablespoon of onion powder 1 teaspoon of garlic powder 1 teaspoon of basil (dried) 1 teaspoon of paprika Salt and Pepper to taste One Whole Chicken (about 3 ½ pds.) Combine all spices and mix well before rubbing mixture onto chicken. Pour out half can of beer and place the can of the beer into the cavity of the chicken. (It will look odd, as if the chicken is sitting on top of can.) Put the chicken on the grill and cook for 1 to 1 ½ hours (be sure not to overcook). Keep cover on grill. Put barbeque sauce over chicken and grill in last ten minutes of baking time.

When complete, remove the beer can and discard. Place chicken on plate and add extra sauce as needed or desired. Baked Barbecue Chicken (This is the easiest of all three recipes!) 1 3 to 3 ½ pound chicken, cut into pieces 2 teaspoons garlic powder Dash salt and pepper 1 ½ cups of your favorite barbecue

sauce (mine is Sweet Baby Ray’s!) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take chicken pieces and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake chicken for at least 1 hour. After one hour, drain any chicken fat from pan and then return chicken to pan. Cover with your favorite sauce and bake again (this time uncovered) for approximately 20-25 minutes.

SAWDUST ART FEST I V AL s u m m e r s e s s i o n c o m e s to a close this Sunday august 31 The Sawdust Art Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public and promoting the art created in Laguna Beach.

Designed to both entertain and educate, the Sawdust Art Festival draws more than 200,000 visitors world-wide each year. Visitors are invited to shop along sawdust-covered paths through a hand-crafted village of fine arts and superb craftsmanship.

The Sawdust Art Festival also features art demonstration booths such as glassblowing, complimentary hands-on art workshops, a children’s art booth, Ceramic Center, as well as refreshments from four outdoor cafes and saloon, live musical entertainment and more. The Sawdust Art Festival sets itself apart from Laguna Beach’s other summer art festivals in that it is non-juried, so it plays a vital role in Page 14

Along the way, the Sawdust has become the Southern California’s most popular summer art festival, drawing higher paid attendance than any other summer festival.

Les Kepics with Mrs. San Diego Shelby Peterson, Mrs. California Heather Denison, and Mrs. Outstanding woman Desiree Pagliuso Written by Ilene Schneider Photography William Casper When Heather Denison, Mrs. California 2014, was the award presenter to the winning jockey in the sixth race at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club on Friday, August 15, it was the cherry on top of the cake. The symbolic gesture reinforced the image of Del Mar as a place where beautiful people gather for elegant entertainment in a made-to-order setting. With its panoramic view of the vivid blue Pacific Ocean, perpetual sun and miles of beaches, along with its pageantry of majestic horses and its laid-back environment, Del Mar, which opened in 1937, quickly established itself as a playground for the stars. Celebrities always make presentations at key races, and Denison, who was crowned Mrs.

California on June 21 at Del Mar, was there for the 19th running of the Sandy Blue Handicap. Located about 20 miles north of San Diego and 100 miles south of Los Angeles, Del Mar is remote enough yet close enough for stars and other luminaries to make it their vacation spot or getaway. Once owned by singer Bing Crosby, Del Mar has attracted such Hollywood legends as Dorothy Lamour, W. C. Fields, Paulette Goddard, Edgar Bergen, June Haver, Ann Miller, Don Ameche, Ava Gardner, Red Skelton, Pat O’Brien, Robert Taylor, Barbara Stanwyck, Jimmy Durante, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. Many famous jockeys have appreciated Del Mar as well. Bill Shoemaker was the first apprentice to claim the track’s riding title in 1949 and went on to achieve record-breaking feats at the Del Mar racetrack for forty years. Another Del Mar devotee, Johnny Longden became the world’s most successful jockey in 1956 and was passed only by Shoemaker in 1970. More recently, Laffit Pincay, Jr., went on to win numerous races. Trainers who grace the Del Mar horse racing history books include Charles Wittingham, Farrell Jones, Robert Frankel and Bob Baffert. While some race tracks have lost attendance over the years, Del Mar is tops among U.S. race tracks and continues to set attendance records. Fans and owners alike gather in the paddock where the horses are saddled and paraded. Whether they choose to bet on the races or not, the fans enjoy the elegance of Desiree Pagliuso - Nava , Victor a bygone era and the excitement of Espinoza Mrs. California Heather the competition. People can spend Denison

6th race “the Sandy Blue Handicap” Horse owners, trainers and Mrs. California Heather Denison the day at their own pace, from the include an “Old Hollywood Fashion fast-paced races to leisurely hours at Contest,” with awards for Best the many restaurants at Del Mar. For Dressed Couple, Best Old Hollywood those who want to bet on the races, and Best Celebrity Lookalike. There will also be concerts, food yes, there is an app for that. Del Mar’s regular racing season and beer festivals, giveaways and extends from July 17 to September seminars with top racing folks. The 3, but this year, the famous seaside Bing Crosby Season will include two track “where the turf meets the surf” Saturday concerts, November 15 will open again for its inaugural Bing and 29, with Reggae Fest featuring Crosby Season from November 7 to Iration kicking things off on the 15th November 30. According to the Del and alternative rock band CAKE Mar website, “Old Hollywood style closing out the season on the 29th. meets classic Southern California On Sundays in November football cool this November at Del Mar with fans can watch racing outside and four weeks of elite thoroughbred NFL action on multiple screens in Del racing, fresh events and musical Mar’s Cabana Football Lounge.
