13-year-old Ladera Ranch artist, Madison Bolokowicz already a success 13-year-old Ladera Ranch artist, Madison Bolokowicz, has always loved creating art but when her illustration of a sheep was chosen from a worldwide kids art contest as one of thirteen illustrations for the new children’s book series, “Guess What?” by Nancy O’Neill, that gave Madison worldwide recognition as an artist and a whole new path of opportunities. The first book, “Guess What is on Grandpa’s Farm?” was released in April, 2012. Shortly thereafter, another children’s author, Georgina Olivas, took notice of Madison’s talent and commissioned her to do the cover illustration for her bilingual book, “Kevin and the Tooth Fairy” which was released in July. Madison also entered O’Neill’s art contest for her second book, “Guess What is at the North Pole?” and her illustration of Santa’s sleigh was chosen. The book is scheduled for release later this month. The requests are already starting to come in from other authors so Madison is well on her way to becoming a young artist in demand. She is in 8th grade at Ladera Ranch Middle School and hopes to be accepted into the Orange County School of the Arts next year for high school.

Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the air waves – filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock ‘n’ roll. The show features a brand-new Tony-winning score with music by Bon Jovi’s founding member and keyboardist David Bryan and lyrics by Bryan and Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change), who also pens the musical’s book.

The program will begin at 1pm with the unveiling of the display, followed by guest speaker; World War II fighter pilot, Walt Drake and P-51 flight at 2pm.* The Lacey – Davis Foundation raises money for family members, of fallen World War II soldiers, to give them the opportunity to visit memorials erected overseas. The Lacey-Davis foundation is named for the first two pilots it helped link to their families: 1st Lieutenant William Dale Lacey, Jr. and 1st Lieutenant Newton Baker Davis Jr. Lyon Air Museum has partnered with the Lacey-Davis Foundation to create a display at the museum. The display is in honor of First Lieutenant, William D. Lacey who lost his life on July 30, 1944 when his P-51 was hit by flak over France. The crash site and parts from “Lady Irish” 1st Lt. Lacey’s P-51 were discovered in 2009, parts and objects found are included in the display. In October of 1943 1st Lt. Lacey was sent to England to fly P-51s with the 12th Tactical Reconnaissance Air Squadron. The following year in July of 1944 at 21 years old 1st Lt. Lacey departed from Le Molay. While making a photo run, he was hit by flak. Lacey’s P-51
burst into flames and crashed over France. 65 years later in 2009 wreckage of “Lady Irish”, flown by 1st Lt. Lacey was discovered by the Association Normandie du Aerien(the Normandy Association for Air Remembrance or ANSA).

Julia and george argyros donate $5 million to children’s hospital of orange county for region’s first pediatric emergency department New Emergency Department Will Be Named the Julia and George Argyros Emergency Department Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC Children’s) today announced that Julia and George Argyros made a $5 million gift for its new pediatric emergency department – the first in Orange County. In honor of the couple’s generosity, the emergency department will open in March 2013 as the Julia and George Argyros Emergency Department. The 22,000-square-foot Julia and George Argyros Emergency Department is designed to meet the unique needs of children. It features 31 treatment rooms, including 14 rapid medical exam rooms, and three triage suites. The Julia and George Argyros Emergency Department is part of CHOC’s new, 425,000-square-foot tower, which will also house advanced operating rooms, laboratory, pathology and imaging services – each with a dedicated pediatric environment and staff. The seven-story building, with leading design and safety principles, includes enhanced patient and families amenities to create a serene, healing environment for children. “We are extremely grateful for the longstanding support of the Argyros family, and are thrilled by this most recent contribution which will help us achieve our vision and transform pediatric care,” said Kim Cripe, president and
CEO of CHOC Children’s. “Julia and George’s $5 million donation is an amazing gift to the children and families in Orange County who will now have access to a world-class pediatric emergency department.” In addition to their $5 million gift, the Argyros family helped launch the hospital’s comprehensive fundraising campaign, “Change CHOC, Change the World,” with a leadership gift of $1 million in 2009 to name the surgery center reception area in CHOC’s new tower. In recognition of that gift and in honor of Julia and George’s daughter, the area is named “The Stephanie A. Argyros Reception.” They have generously sponsored two signature hospital fundraising events, the CHOC Cherishes Children Gala and the CHOC Follies, for which Julia has also donated her time and talent as a cast member. Stephanie Argyros joined the CHOC Children’s Foundation Board of Directors last year. With the Argyros’ $5 million gift, CHOC Children’s has raised a little more than $120 million in their “Change CHOC, Change the World” campaign. “We are grateful to Julia and George Argyros

Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Discusses Source and Cure of Chipping Upper Front Teeth A nice lady in her middle 50’s came into the office the other day with a chipped upper front tooth. It turns out that the opposing tooth on the lower arch was rotated, and one corner of that tooth hit the upper tooth wrong, and broke it. We patched the chip, but that was not the source of the problem. During one’s lifetime, lower teeth migrate toward the front of the mouth, and then towards the center. If the four lower front teeth stay in alignment with each other, they’ll stay straight. But, if the forward migration pressure is too great, they’ll start to rotate. This has a deleterious effect on the supporting tissues of these teeth because it is harder to keep them clean and the gums healthy. It also has a negative impact on the upper front teeth, making them stick out unevenly, or fracturing them, or as in the case of another of my patients, loosens them and predisposes them to premature loss. The solution is to minimally, imperceptibly (0.25mm per side per tooth) reduce the width of each of the lower front teeth, then moving them back out of harm’s way so that they can’t do any more damage. A removable orthodontic appliance, like a retainer, does the trick. Or, the series of computer-generated aligners from Invisalign which as the name implies are nearly invisible also work for this. Some people may think that nobody sees the lower front teeth, so their alignment isn’t critically important. It turns out, that’s not the case. We need to keep all the teeth healthy and functional. Next time you’re close to a mirror, check out your lower front teeth. If they’re crooked, call me. When you call Please be sure to ask about “Care Credit”, a credit card offering up to 12 months of interest-free credit on dental work. I like this because there are no premiums that have to be paid whether any dental work is required or not Dr. Michael Tessier’s office is located at 28562 Oso Parkway the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways (near the car wash). Most major credit cards and dental plans are cheerfully accepted. Telephone (949) 459-7212.

William Shatner’s One-Man-Show Shatner’s World
Beloved cultural icon William Shatner delivers his signature storytelling, unconventional humor and distinctive musical selections in his popular oneman-show SHATNER’S WORLD: WE JUST LIVE IN IT to Segerstrom Center for the Arts January 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Segerstrom Hall during his 2012-13 U.S. tour. “Performing for audiences on the road has been one of the most gratifying experiences I’ve ever had as an actor,” says Shatner. “My fans are the best in the world and I can’t wait to get back on tour this year.” Tickets for SHATNER’S WORLD: WE JUST LIVE IN IT start at $45 and are available now at SCFTA. org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787.

Through anecdotes, songs, jokes and, at times, poignant moments, the 90-minute show takes audiences on a voyage through Shatner’s life and career – from Shakespearean stage actor to internationally known icon and raconteur, known as much for his unique persona as for his expansive body of work on television and film. William Shatner is an award-winning actor, director, producer, writer, recording artist, philanthropist and horseman. In 1966, he originated the role of Captain James T. Kirk in the TV series Star Trek, which spawned a film franchise where he returned as Kirk in seven of the movies, one of which he directed. He played the title role in the hit series T.J. Hooker before hosting TV’s first reality-based series, Rescue 911. He won Emmys and his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of Denny Crane on The Practice and Boston Legal and received four more Emmy nominations as well as Golden Globe and SAG Award nods. His interview series, Shatner’s Raw Nerve, aired on Bio, and he recorded the critically

acclaimed album Has Been. The Milwaukee Ballet performed Common People which was set to songs from the album; the event is featured in the documentary Gonzo Ballet. Seeking Major Tom, featuring a number of heavy metal covers and songs by U2, Frank Sinatra, Queen and Pink Floyd, was released last year. Shatner has authored nearly 30 best-sellers. His autobiography, Up Till Now, was a New York Times best-seller, and Shatner Rules was released in 2011. His comic book series, William Shatner Presents, is based on his novels Tek War, Man O’ War and Quest for Tomorrow, along with a new title, Chimera. He has also been successful in another area –horse breeding. A dedicated breeder of American Quarter horses, he has had enormous success with the American Saddlebred, developing and riding world champions and has won numerous world championships in several events. Shatner united his passions for horses and philanthropy with the Hollywood Charity Horse Show, which benefits L.A.-based
children’s charities. He appeared on Broadway in A Shot in the Dark, The World of Suzie Wong and Tamburlaine the Great. SHATNER’S WORLD: WE JUST LIVE IN IT is produced by Innovation Arts & Entertainment; Larry A Thompson Organization; Adam Troy Epstein; Larry A Thompson; Seth Keyes; and Josh Sherman. Established in 1998, IAE is a diversified enterprise specializing in all forms of live entertainment.

Philharmonic Society of OC Celebrate Fashion’s Night Out In honor of the Philharmonic Society of Orange County’s partnership with Frette on its 2012 Philharmonic House of Design (the 20th anniversary of the House of Design), Frette and the Philharmonic Society co-hosted a festive evening of champagne and hors d’oeuvres in conjunction with Fashion’s Night Out held at Frette’s South Coast Plaza boutique. A portion of the evening’s proceeds benefitted the Philharmonic Society and its nationally recognized Youth Music Education Programs. The crowd of elegantly-dressed guests was warmly welcomed into the boutique with greetings from Richard Iri, store manager of Frette South Coast Plaza, and a blend of contemporary and classical music pieces performed live on guitars and mandolin. Guests were treated to flutes of tray-passed champagne and hors d’oeuvres catered by Quattro Caffe, including tasty morsels of filet mignon tartare, grilled shrimp, rice cake with bruschetta, and tiramisu on chocolate crisp. On the scene were Sabra Bordas, Chairman of the Philharmonic Society Board of Directors; Susan McFadden, Editor-in-Chief of California Homes magazine; and Kim Weddon, 2012 Philharmonic House of Design Benefit Chair. Other attendees included Laura Akopov, Joyce Byrd, Robert Esterley, Kathy Hamilton, Roxanne Iri, Dr. Burton Karson and Dr. Lorraine Reed, Donna Kendall, Cindy Kornhaber, Diane Lawson, CeCe Lorthioir, Anthony and Georgiann Mastrangelo, Michael McFadden, David and Connie Sacherman, Dea Stanuszek, and Charles and Karen Wolff. The Philharmonic House of Design is the key fundraising effort each year for the Philharmonic Society Youth Music Education Programs, and is organized each year by the Committees of the Philharmonic. The Philharmonic Society again partnered with California Homes Magazine to present the 2012 Philharmonic House of Design, which marked the 20th annual Philharmonic House of Design. The 2012 Philharmonic House of Design was generously sponsored by South Coast Plaza and Frette, and proceeds from the House benefitted the Philharmonic Society Youth Music Education Programs. Founded in 1954, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County is Orange County’s oldest and most recognized music organization, presenting the world’s most acclaimed symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, performing organizations and artists. A catalyst for cultural and educational development throughout its region, the Philharmonic Society is a key resident company in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

Gloria Zigner to be Honored at 13th Annual Orange County Arts Awards CHOC Follies Founder to receive Helena Modjeska Cultural Legacy Award for Community Visionary Gloria Zigner is recognized as a cultural icon in Orange County stemming from her 20 years as the society editor of Orange Coast Magazine. But more importantly, she is known as the founder and executive producer of the legendary CHOC Follies, for which she will be honored at the 13th Annual Orange County Arts Awards. The event will be held at the Samueli Theater, Orange County Performing Arts Center, Segerstrom Center for the Arts on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at 7:30 p.m., following a reception and dinner at Leatherby’s Café Rouge at 5:30 p.m. Zigner will receive the Helena Modjeska Cultural Legacy Award for Community Visionary for her exemplary work with The CHOC Follies. For fifteen years, the CHOC Follies has featured casts of 100 Orange County business, civic and society leaders who act, sing and dance to raise money for
CHOC Children’s. To date, the popular show has netted more than $6 million for the Orange County pediatric hospital. “There’s no question that The CHOC Follies is a phenomenon. It’s really Gloria’s brainchild,” said Richard Stein, executive director or Arts Orange County. “She conceived it and has driven it over the years to be a tremendous unifying force for the community.” “I am so deeply thrilled to receive this honor,” said Zigner. “The CHOC Follies is so dear to my heart, and the success of the Follies is the result of the dedication and perseverance of an amazingly talented team of people, many of whom have been on board since the first year. And now we’re gearing up for our 16th show in the spring, “Viva CHOC Vegas: Guys, Gals & Romance in the Land of Lady Luck,” which I can assure you will be the best production yet! So get ready to hear from me, because we can’t do it without our wonderful Orange County cast members, sponsors and donors.
Zigner and her fellow honorees including Douglas C. Rankin, William and Barbara Roberts, and Elizabeth Turk, will be presented with the award at the annual fun-
draiser for Arts Orange County, the leader in building appreciation of, participation in, and support for the arts and arts education throughout Orange County.

For the last several years, the city of Mission Viejo has offered the 10-week program that was created for parents with difficult or out-of-control adolescent children.

Parents will learn proven tools and tactics to deal with poor grades, teen social trends, and they’ll learn to understand teens use of technology. Mission Viejo deputy sheriff’s, including school resource officers, receive 40 hours of training to facilitate the program, which caters to parents with kids in different stages of life. Deputies teaching the program can address every issue parents may have with their children to help them build better relationships. The first six classes of the 10-week program take place on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., with the rest ending an hour earlier through Dec. 4 at the Norman P.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Santa Margarita Catholic High School Celebrates 25th Anniversary
Santa Margarita Catholic High School administrators, founders and diocese members came out to celebrate the school’s 25th anniversary Tuesday. Pictured are Gregory Dhuyvetter, superintendent of schools, Wendy (Birtcher) Anderson and Robert Anderson, 25th anniversary committee chairpersons; Raymond Dunne, principal; Braden Domier 2013 Associated Student Body president; Fr. Gerald M. Horan, OSM, Vicar of Faith Formation; Tony Moiso, SMCHS founder, president and CEO Rancho Mission Viejo Company; Mary Beth Dougherty, assistant principal - academics; the Most Rev. Tod D. Brown, bishop of Orange Diocese; Haley Rice 2013 Associated Student Body secretary; Art Birtcher, SMCHS founder, Birtcher Anderson Realty, LLC; Gaye Birtcher, SMCHS founder; Shane Mielke 1991 alumni; Paul Carey, president.
Santa Margarita Catholic High School celebrated its 25th Anniversary on Sept. 4th by recreating the ceremonious welcome which took place upon the school’s opening in 1987. As SMCHS welcomed students back to campus for the 2012-2013school year this past week, Principal Ray Dunne, President Paul Carey and the Board of Administration were thrilled to celebrate this significant milestone with special friends and benefactors who have been so important to the life of the school. The day included celebratory remarks and well-wishes, a reflection from a charter class alumnus, an aerial photo, and then concluded with Bishop Brown blessing the front gates of campus with those in attendance processed through the gates just as they did 25 years ago. The event was then followed by an on-campus gratitude reception. “It was a great celebration of what Santa Margarita was, is and will be” said Santa Margarita Principal Ray Dunne. Those in attendance included Bishop Tod Brown, Vicar of Faith Formation Fr. Gerald Horan, Diocese of Orange Superintendent of Schools Greg Dhuyvetter, alumni including those from the first graduating class, school founders, students, faculty and staff, and friends and family of the Santa Margarita community. “Today brought back some really fond memories and it was so nice to see so many of our ‘supporters’ who have been with us from the beginning” said one of Santa Margarita’s original staff members, Doris Gatfield. Family and friends who were unable to make the event were even given the opportunity to watch the entire ceremony live via an online video stream. “In celebrating this milestone, we express our gratitude to the Diocese of Orange, our founding families, early alumni, and to everyone who helped us celebrate this special occasion” said Santa Margarita President Paul Carey.

Carey reports that it was a great turn-out and appeared to be well-received by all in attendance. The ceremony respectfully recognized Santa Margarita’s growth from a charter class of only 216 students to a nationally ranked school with over 1,600 students, while also honoring the benefactors, alumni, and friends who helped the school achieve this status.
