Art of Cooking Series Continues on August 18 from 1 - 2pm Learn to create delicious dishes with Cathy Thomas, award-winning columnist, author and on-air host at the Festival of Arts Sunday, August 18 from 1 - 2pm. As part of the 2013 Art of Cooking series, she will demonstrate step-by-step some of her favorite recipes including kale salad with dates, marcona almonds, nectarine salsa, and green bean and tomato salad atop watercress and toasted farro. She will share samples of her finished creations with the audience. According to Cathy Thomas, part of the fun of cooking and entertaining is creating delectable dishes without spending hours in the kitchen. That’s been the focal point of her cooking classes and award-winning newspaper features for over two decades. Her quick-to-prepare recipes showcase flavorful ingredients, relying on fresh fruits and vegetables to make each dish colorful and delicious. As the longtime food columnist at the Orange County Register newspaper, Cathy won the first place award as the best food columnist in the nation from the Association of Food Journalists (in the large newspaper division). She pioneered the use of

culinary-based videos on the Web, taping in her home kitchen with legendary chefs such as Thomas Keller, Stephen Raichlen and Marcus Samuelsson. To make cooking more pleasurable for her readers, Cathy filmed hundreds of cooking “howto’s” and celebrity interviews for the newspaper’s website. Her first book, “Melissa’s Great Book of Produce” demystifies the glorious array of fruits and vegetables that are available in the marketplace. Her second book, “Melissa’s Everyday Cooking with Organic Produce” was released in spring of 2010. Her third book, “50 Best Plants on the Planet” launched nationwide in April 2013. Cathy has conducted international and domestic culinary tours on a regular basis, seeking new ingredients, techniques and ideas as she explores world cuisine. She has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Southern California and has studied at cooking schools around the world. Susan Davis, Director of Special Events notes, “We’re very excited for Cathy to share her expertise and passion for food at the Festival of Arts

on Sunday.” Foodies rejoice every Sunday from 1 - 2pm at the Festival of Arts “Art of Cooking” series. Every Sunday between July 7 and August 25, this special event series takes place in the Festival’s Art Center and is free with Festival admission.

Pageant of the Masters Director Greenlights “The Big Picture” Audiences are amazed and enchanted by ninety minutes of tableaux vivants (“living pictures”), incredibly faithful recreations of classical and contemporary works of art, with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces. The Pageant of the Masters is arguably one of the most unique productions in the entire world. Every summer in Laguna Beach, California, audiences are amazed and enchanted by ninety minutes of tableaux vivants (“living pictures”), incredibly faithful re-creations of classical and contemporary works of art, with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces. A live narrator is a guide through the story of each living picture accompanied by a full orchestra. In 2013, the Pageant of the Masters celebrates its 80th anniversary with the theme “The Big Picture” -adding a cinematic spin to its world-class presentation with classic masterpieces that inspired legendary filmmakers. Long before the curtain fell on last summer’s enormously popular production, The Genius, Diane Challis Davy, director of the Pageant of the Masters, was busily formulating her ideas for 2013’s celebration of art in “living pictures” – tableaux vivants – titled “The Big Picture.” She’s excited that this summer will mark the 80th anniversary of living pictures being presented at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach. But Challis Davy is also planning a tribute to the modern art of motion pictures and the ways in which the masterpieces of art history have inspired and informed the movies. When asked where she found her inspiration for the 2013 theme, Challis Davy laughed and replied, “In the bathtub!” She then went on to explain this was a reference to Busby Berkeley, the legendary Hollywood director famous for his extravagant and brilliantly-choreographed musical numbers in the 1930s. Berkeley, it seems, once told a reporter that his best ideas came to him while in the tub. Page 4

Challis Davy’s playful comment is offset by the seriousness of her continuing devotion to the daunting logistics of putting on the Pageant. With its two casts of hundreds of volunteers, orchestra, narrator and crew of backstage artists and technicians, the Pageant of the Masters is every bit as complex as a big-budget movie shoot, with the biggest difference being that a movie only has to get a shot right once, while the Pageant hits the stage live every night for nearly two months! Challis Davy is quick to point out that masterpieces are once again included in the “coming attractions” of the 2013 Pageant. “We’ll have Vermeer, Gainsborough, Michelangelo, Gerome, Seurat, Rodin, Norman Rockwell. Designers for both stage and screen look to paintings and sculpture for historical information and inspiration. I thought it would be a new twist for the Pageant to take a look back at the work of the Masters that inspired great works of cinema.” As examples, THE BIG PICTURE will showcase how the genius of Michelangelo found expression in “The Agony and the Ecstasy,” how Thomas Gainsborough’s portraits influenced Stanley Kubrick, and how the works of Jean-Leon Gerome can be seen in films by directors like David Lean and Ridley Scott. And “the Master of Suspense,” Alfred Hitchcock, will also merit special attention. But, Challis Davy’s enthusiasm for the theme extends beyond film references. “What are movies but a series of still pictures?” she mused, “The Pageant is a series of still (but living) pictures. That seemed like an interesting connection to consider.” Longtime Pageant scriptwriter Dan Duling concurred. “The Pageant’s combination of art and theater alters the way we look at art. In a way tableaux vivants were the original ‘freeze frames.’ And looking at masterpieces through the viewfinder of motion pictures provides fascinating food for thought.” When asked if there were any selections for the upcoming show that she’d always wanted to produce,

The Ladera Ranch News

Challis Davy cited the chance to incorporate memorable music from the movies – by Bernard Hermann, Alex North and other composers – and the chance to recreate a fresco by Michelangelo from the Sistine Chapel. On a lighter note, she said she’s looking forward to staging “a loving tribute to the Chicago Art Institute, courtesy of director John Hughes and his film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” Of course, THE BIG PICTURE has a secondary focus, the 80th anniversary of “living pictures” at the Festival of Arts. That’s certainly worthy of celebration, and Challis Davy intends to revisit this remarkable history by highlighting some of the ways in which the Pageant has benefited from its connections with Hollywood celebrities. And, of course, the show will once again conclude with its traditional finale, Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” In 1936, that truly became “the big picture” that put the Pageant on the national map. Everyone associated with the production understands the Pageant wouldn’t be possible without that spirit of volunteer dedication. As Challis Davy acknowledges, their dedica-

tion and loyalty are the remarkable engines that sustain the Pageant. “I’m lucky to be surrounded by people who love the hard work it takes to produce a very elaborate show,” she said. “I get inspiration from the scriptwriter, staff, composers, and from the scores of enthusiastic research volunteers who come up with great suggestions!” The Pageant of the Masters will be performed nightly from Sunday, July 7 - Saturday, August 31, 2013. Tickets for The Big Picture can be purchased by calling 1-800-487-3378, or online at www.PageantoftheMasters.org. Tickets start at $15. A Pageant ticket entitles you to free unlimited admission to the Festival of Arts grounds where you can enjoy original artwork by 140 of Southern Orange County’s finest artists, art classes, musical entertainment, special art events, dining at Gina’s Alfresco and so much more. The event is located at 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, California.

local Dentist michael tessier Says Avoiding tooth Decay is getting easier than ever Before Years ago some of the reasons people gave for not having the cavities in our teeth filled were:” the “shot”, the “the “drill”, the “numbness”, the pain” Dr. Michael Tessier associated with old-time dentistry. But, by using the Whisper Jet, a micro miniature sandblaster using 50 micron-size particles of aluminum oxide, and the Waterlase MD Laser, we get your fillings completed without anesthetic, and with no pain, because of today’s technology, Remembering that the decay process starts with acid-induced demineralization of the enamel of the teeth, here are some ways to avoid the need for dental work: Go to the dentist every six monthsfrequent visits help avoid big problems. Avoid industrially-manufactured foods, like chips or cookies or crackers. Instead, or after, eat raw carrots, celery or apples. Real foods have larger, fibrous particles which actually clean decay-producing sugars off the teeth). Avoid soft drinks, sweetened or otherwise. Instead, drink water, fluoridated or not. Chew sugarless gum. This stimulates acid-neutralizing saliva which counteracts the acidic end-products of bacterial metabolism that cause decay, and mechanically cleans the teeth.

Brush properly with fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily. That little point contact where adjacent teeth touch each other is not accessible to a toothbrush bristle. Remember, you only have to floss the ones you want to keep. By the way, there’s a significant link between the phosphoric acid used as a preservative in dark soft drinks and Alzheimer’s. Another reason to avoid them. We recently found a hard candy that’s sweetened with a Xylitol that coats the teeth with a decay-reducing micro-film. Something like fifteen flavors, no aftertaste. Good Stuff. There is a genetic pre-disposition to susceptibility to decay. Some people get cavities irrespective of how well they take care of their teeth; some people don’t take care of their teeth at all, and still never get cavities. It isn’t necessarily fair (how much in life is?), but the above can help. “The more I work with the laser and the sandblaster, filling teeth without the need for drilling and therefore anesthetic, the more I realize how much dentistry has changed over the last 30 years. When the drill and the carbide burr were our only cutting options, we made it more likely that, in their later adult hood, these teeth would crack, ultimately needing crowns. Today, we’re leaving these teeth stronger. This stuff is great,” he says with a smile. Dr. Michael Tessier is located in Los Flores Plaza at 28562 Oso Parkway. Most major credit cards and dental plans cheerfully accepted. Telephone (949) 459-7212

A u g u s t i s Immu n i zati on awa r e ne ss month Okay, now that I have your attention… The truth is, none of us likes getting shots. It is especially frightening and can be uncomfortable for small children (and even us bigger babies!). But getting both yourself and your child properly immunized is an important decision for the safety and welfare of yourself, child or loved ones says Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna. “Vaccinations are essential to decreasing the risks of serious diseases and infections.” “These vaccines not only help keep us safe and healthier, but they also help stop the spread of deadly, preventable diseases Chief DiGiovanna reminds us.” August is National Immunization Awareness Month. Emergency physicians see patients every day who are not appropriately immunized. ACEP recognizes that vaccine-preventable infectious diseases have an effect on the health of adults and children. School is beginning and this is a great time for “all” of us to go get an immunization to avoid certain illnesses. The nation’s emergency physicians urge all parents

and guardians to work with their primary care physicians, including pediatricians, to make sure everyone in their family is up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations and to set up a vaccination schedule. Come on, a little shot or exposure to a serious illness? Easy to answer this! For additional information visit: http://healthfinder.gov/nho/PDFs/ AugustNHOtoolkit.pdf

2013 PAGEANT OF THE MASTERS TICKETS ON SALE NOW Celebrate the Masters of Art with The Big Picture Tickets for the muchanticipated 2013 Pageant of the Masters are on sale now and make the perfect holiday gift for the art lover on your list. This holiday season, share the excitement of Pageant with tickets to The Big Picture. Acclaimed for its aweinspiring theatrical celebration of tableaux vivants – “living pictures” – the 2013 Pageant of the Masters presentation of The Big Picture will showcase the fascinating and unpredictable relationship between art and technology. A cavalcade of classic masterpieces will illustrate how breakthroughs in different fields have also altered the path of art history and the way we see the world. From the glories of the Italian Renaissance, including Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” to the deeply personal imaginings of modern masters, The Big Picture promises to be fun and inspiring! “Great seats are still available, but

do sell out fast,” says Ticket Services Director Lucia McLeod. “The Big Picture will highlight some of the most extraordinary artists of our time and it’s sure to be one of our most popular shows.” Tickets start at just $15. A Pageant ticket entitles you to free unlimited admission to the Festival of Arts grounds

where you can enjoy original artwork by 140 of Southern Orange County’s finest artists, art classes, musical entertainment, special art events, dining at Gina’s Alfresco and so much more. Tickets may be purchased by calling 1-800-487-3378, or online at www. PageantTickets.com. The Pageant of the Masters will be

performed nightly from July 7 through August 31, 2013. The Festival of Arts is a non-profit organization that produces The Festival of Arts – California’s Premier Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters. Proceeds support the arts in Orange County.

Do Dogs Get Sunburns? How to Identify and Treat Sunburns on Dogs Does your dog love to lay in the yard and soak up the summer sunshine? Does he lay on his back exposing his pink tummy? Catching a few sun rays may be fine for Fido, but if he’s in the sun too long, he can get sunburn. Your dog is especially at risk for sunburn if he has white or light-colored fur or is a hairless breed, such a Chinese Crested or American Hairless Terrier. Even if your dog is darker in color, those cute pink noses, bellies, ear tips and pads of the paws can become sunburned too! During sunny days be sure to provide your dog with a shaded retreat. The best way to avoid sunburn, is to stay out of the sun! If your dog will be in the sun during a walk, out on a family boating trip or if he is a working breed, try using a product by Nutri-Vet called Sun Defense Sunscreen for Dogs. The spray, which is available at PetCo, blocks UVA and UVB rays and is comparable to SPF 15 sun-block that a human would use. The special formulation is safe for dogs, but they should still be discouraged from licking it off. Never use a human brand of sunscreen on your dog. Human grade formulas may be toxic if ingested. Typical signs of sunburn on a dog include red skin, blisters, peeling skin and soreness. If any of the skin is broken, raw or showing signs of infection, visit your veterinarian immediately. If you pet does get a little too much sun, help cool him down my spraying him with a cool, not cold, water mist. Also, dampen a washcloth and rub it over his belly and other sunburned areas. When the washcloth gets warm, be sure to re-dampen it with cool water and keep applying to sooth your dogs discomfort. Once your pet has cooled off, it is safe to apply aloe vera to the sore red areas of his skin. Since it is a natural product, you don’t have to worry if he licks a little off, but try to discourage this, so the aloe vera can help sooth his sunburn. You can find nearly pure aloe vera gel at health food stores. The gel contains enzymes that will break down inflammatory proteins and promote healing. If your pet doesn’t show signs of improvement in 2-3 days, visit your veterinarian. Page 14
