the history of the Sawdust festival The Sawdust was originally called the Laguna Artists and Gallery Owners Association after breaking away from the Festival of Arts in 1965, in protest of that show’s jurying system. That first festival was located on a vacant lot at the bottom of Park Avenue (on the Peacock lot) with only a few dozen exhibitors. It was called the ‘Rejects Festival’ by the media. There was no show in 1966, but the show did reappear, with more exhibitors, in 1967 on an empty lot on North Coast Highway (The Kronquist lot). That show was a great success and led to the artists moving to its current location on Laguna Canyon Road, leasing the property from Walter and Dorothy Funk, and when the artists spread sawdust on the ground to combat the dust and mud, the media called it the ‘Sawdust Festival,’ and that name has identified the show for decades. Looking for room to expand, in 1968 the show moved to its present three-acre site at 935 Laguna Canyon Road, welcoming one and all with the promise to educate the public as well as provide a sales outlet for unrestricted art.Today, artists demonstrate

One of the first facades ~1978~

their art in designated “demo” booths where the public is invited to participate, as well as working in their own booths. The lovely eucalyptus grove with its rippling waterfall provides an irresistible background. The Sawdust Art Festival is truly a local event. All artists exhibiting in the festival are residents of Laguna Beach. Unlike some other non-profit organizations dedicated to the arts, the Sawdust Art Festival’s administration is made up of exhibiting members. Each year, exhibiting artists are elected as members of the Board of Directors. In addition, booth locations are determined by an annual lottery, usually held in February. Because the show is non-juried, enthusiastic amateurs display their work along with accomplished veteran artists, providing Some of the first booths ~1968~ the spice and variety that make every

show different from the last. In keeping with the spirit of its beginnings, the Sawdust Art Festival intends to be different from other art shows, visualizing itself as an artists’ “happening” rather than a stuffy exhibit. To that end, the artists themselves build a unique village of individual booths from the ground up each summer. The architectural designs are as varied and interesting as the work they showcase. Once the booths are finished, the sawdust goes down, the landscaping goes in, music fills the air and once again the Sawdust Art Festival magically returns for another summer. It is truly a unique experience in the arts that brings visitors back year after year. To get more information on the Sawdust Festival visit: sawdustartfestival.org

It’s Movie Night! Pacific Symphony SummerFest - Jurassic Park!

Delivers Thrills, Chills and Big Scary Dinosaurs, as the Orchestra Performs John Williams Knockout Score for “Jurassic Park”! It’s a soundtrack 65 million years in the making! Pass the popcorn and hold on tight as the action-packed blockbuster movie “Jurassic Park” is shown on the big screen, with John Williams’ thrilling score performed live by Pacific Symphony. Masterfully directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the novel by Michael Crichton, “Jurassic Park” transports the audience to a secluded island where scientists have succeeded in reviving the age of dinosaurs. One of the most thrilling science-fiction adventures ever made, and featuring one of Williams’ most iconic and beloved musical scores, “Jurassic Park” transformed the movie-going experience for an entire generation. It not only won three Academy Awards, “Jurassic Park” also became the highest-grossing film of its time in 1993. This exciting movie-concert experence takes place at the Pacific Amphitheatre at OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, the Symphony’s new summer home, where the orchestra continues to perform throughout the 2017 summer season. The third concert of the series, “Jurassic Park,” led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, takes place Saturday, Aug. 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25-$99. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. “The music of John Williams is extraordinary,” says Maestro Kaufman. “When I first heard this score, I was amazed by how John can see some grass, trees and a

bunch of dinosaurs and come up with a thrilling, descriptive and superb score. Hearing it played live as the film is shown on a huge screen above the orchestra will thrill our summer series audience! Not many people have the chance to visit a Hollywood recording stage…well, hearing and seeing ‘Jurassic Park’ live in concert is as close as you can get to that kind of unique and thrilling experience.” Gates open at 6 p.m. for picnicking, with pre-concert entertainment by the Orange County Wind Ensemble taking place from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Plaza Pacifica entrance. Patrons are welcome to bring their own food, wine and non-alcoholic beverages onto the premises; but glass containers and glassware are not permitted inside the amphitheater. A variety of food and beverages are available for purchase at the concession stands inside the amphitheater. Vendor options from Spectra are onsite to serve up tasty selections. Picnic tables are available at the Plaza Pacifica entrance, or patrons may prefer to picnic at their seats. Then it’s time to remember the hair-raising, goose-bump inducing fun of one of the most exciting adventures to ever hit the big screen, when the Symphony performs live Williams’ one-of-a-kind score to the full-length movie “Jurassic Park,” led by the Symphony’s remarkable movie maestro, Kaufman. “Jurassic Park” transports the audience to a fantastical, secluded island where scientists have succeeded in reviving the age of dinosaurs in a brand-new, immersive theme park, the likes of which have never been seen before. The audience is swept away in this thrill-a-minute pursuit by creatures of the past. And while the dinosaurs

in the movie are created through special effects, the reason they live and breathe and amaze us to such an extent has a lot to do with Williams’ music. “This is, without a doubt, one of John Williams’ finest scores,” says Kaufman. “It captures every emotion on the screen, as well as driving the energy of the movie. John’s music doesn’t just accompany the action, it not only looks deeply into each character’s eyes, it takes us on a journey into their minds. In this film, that’s quite a journey!” D u r i n g t h e b l o c k b u s t e r, paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour the island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park’s mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone that the facility is safe, they find that this is not the case at all—when a variety of ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt! It’s a tense, taut, exhilarating ride with music to soothe the ravaged heart. There are few moments that will not leave the audience breathless. “Films such as ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Jaws,’ to mention just a couple of classics,” says Kaufman, “are like spending time in a dark room, never knowing when something will jump out from the darkness and scare the pants off you!” says Kaufman. “Whether it’s in the water with the shark, or trying to escape the deadly jaws of the tyrannosaurus rex, John’s music takes the listener on a wild ride that stays with you long after the film is over.” Movies in concert are a hot

commodity these days and this one could not be more exciting, no matter how many times it has been seen. “Jurassic Park” is just the latest blockbuster to get the symphonic treatment in what has become an increasingly popular form of entertainment for Pacific Symphony and so many other orchestras. Other Williams-scored movies that have made it to the Symphony’s concert stage in recent years include: “Home Alone” and “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Also featured has been “Star Trek,” whose score was written by Michael Giacchino. “Everyone has their favorite movie and favorite film music,” says Kaufman. “Motion pictures are a part of our lives in the present and in our past. To hear film music live is not only a musical ‘feast’ for the ears, but also for the eyes! Watching 80+ musicians bringing to life the music of John Williams is an unforgettable and unique experience no one should pass up.” Pacific Symphony’s new summer home may be new to some (after 30 years at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre), but patrons should be assured that they will find the same high-quality, idyllic summer experience as in the past at Pacific Amphitheatre. In fact, patrons are enjoying new perks, including allnew remodeled seats and a casual, inviting and intimate atmosphere. Warm, pleasant evenings, picnics overflowing with goodies, surrounded by family and friends and pre-concert entertainment—and of course, exhilarating music—all remain part of the annual Symphony experience.

Evelyn Walker and Captain Crunch are Grand Green Champions in West Coast Pony Challenge, Presented by USHJA Zone 10 Sienna Gustafson and Imagine That Top the Field in USHJA Pony Hunter Derby; A Pony Power Wrap Up

Michael Savage, Evelyn Walker and Captain Crunch Photos by McCool Green Ponies of all sizes took to the grass over the weekend to compete in the West Coast Pony Challenge, presented by USHJA Zone 10, and it was Evelyn Walker who emerged as the overall victor with Captain Crunch. Walker and her small pony accumulated a total of 35 points over the two days of competition, winning three out of five classes in their division. They championed the combined Small/ Medium Green Pony Hunter section in addition to earning the Overall Grand Green Championship. “He’s green but loves his job!” Walker said of her loveable pony partner of a year and a half. “He is the kind of pony that people dream about and I’m so grateful to get to do this with him. It’s been so much fun shaping him into a pony hunter with my trainer, Michael Savage. He has come such a long way.” Augusta Iwasaki piloted Ava Peck’s Persephone to the Overall Reserve Grand Green Championship, finishing with a total of 31 points accumulated in the Large Green Pony Hunter division. They championed the division as well. Iwasaki also rode Quartet Farm, LLC’s Butterscotch in the Large Green Pony Hunters and picked up the division reserve championship with 25 points. Charley Stowell accrued 23 points with her medium pony Colonel Sanders to earn the reserve champion title in the Small/Medium Green Pony Page 12

Hunter section. This duo also won the West Coast Pony Challenge Green Pony Classic with scores of 85 and 84. Sienna Gustafson and Imagine That Top the Field in USHJA Pony Hunter Derby Sienna Gustafson rode her large chestnut pony Imagine That to victory in the USHJA Pony Hunter Derby at the Blenheim June Classic III, leading a field of twenty-nine entries with a two-round total of 165.5. Gustafson, Imagine That, and their team had a standout day: she received a Blenheim EquiSports embroidered cooler, an engraved pewter plate, and a pair of Roeckl Sports gloves for her win. Imagine That was awarded an additional blue ribbon as the highest placing large pony. Heatherly Davis won the Blue Ribbon Blankets Winning Trainer Award and Herman Tiul received the EquiFit Groom’s Award for Best Turned Out Pony for his work with the chestnut. Gustafson walked away with the Balmoral Winning Owner Award. Just seven years old, Imagine That has been paired with Gustafson since January 2016. Since then they’ve come a long way and have plans to venture east to Pony Finals next year. This USHJA Pony Hunter Derby was their first. “It was a great experience and I was really proud of him,” Gustafson said. Just one small pony made the top twelve to advance to the Handy

The Newport News

Round, and it was Buzzworthy, owned by Enchantment Farm, LLC and ridden by Shiloh Roseboom. Roseboom and Buzzworthy’s two round total of 154 landed them fourth place overall, but they were recognized as the highest placing small pony entry. Augusta Iwasaki and Isabella Griffin’s Happily Ever After picked up third place overall and stood out as the highest placing medium pony entry. Gabrielle Sokolow piloted Ava Peck’s Kingston to a score of 85 in the Handy to secure The Plaid Horse Winning Handy Round Award and her own ‘Stanley’ stuffed pony. Sokolow and Kingston finished second overall, just half a point behind Gustafson and Imagine That. Pony Power Wrapping Up The pony competition kept the Pacific Field busy with a variety of classes showcasing ponies of all colors and sizes. Along with competition and comraderies, The Emerson Burr Horsemanship Quiz, the West Coast Pony Challenge and the USHJA Pony Hunter Derby offered sweet opportunities like cupcakes and an ice cream social. “It’s fun getting to hang out with your competitors,” Week Two USHJA Pony Derby Champion Stella Wasserman said. “It’s a good way to meet new people and get to know them.” Riders in the West Coast Pony Hunter Challenge, presented by USHJA Zone 10, showcased their ponies in a beautiful grass field. “It’s so much fun that we get to be

on the grass,” Overall Grand Pony Hunter Champion Shiloh Roseboom exclaimed, explaining how she looks forward to the Challenge every year. Successful pony rider Katalina Rickard noted the value of the special week for riders with national goals: “I like it a lot because it’s a different experience since ponies almost never go on the grass. It also gives us an idea of what Pony Finals will be like,” she explained. And then said with a smile, “The ponies show all week, so it’s fun, but it’s also really tiring!” The final show of the four week series is the Blenheim Red, White & Blue Classic, where more classes, awards and fun awaits. The $5,000 USHJA Pony Hunter Derby presented by Markel Insurance will be held early Saturday morning, accompanied by a donut party. Upon its conclusion, special circuit awards sponsored by Makoto Farm will be awarded to leading pony riders. Blenheim EquiSports, an equestrian event management company based in San Juan Capistrano, CA, produces events in three locations: San Juan Capistrano, Del Mar and Las Vegas, NV. The events include USEF “Premier” rated hunter-jumper shows featuring multiple grand prix events, a Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping North American League event, USHJA International Hunter Derbies, Pony Finals, Medal Finals and more.

Simple, Healthy Summer Snacks As temperatures climb and summer sets in, a slight change in diet can help maintain energy without overfilling on hot days. Vegan and vegetarian diets are becoming a popular trend, but many people are also opting to be semivegetarians, also known as the flexitarian diet. A flexitarian diet means you don’t have to eliminate meat from your diet but can still reap the health benefits associated with plant-based diets. Plant-based proteins like beans, peas, nuts, seeds, soy and lentils are chock-full of nutritional benefits from disease-fighting phytonutrients to cholesterol-lowering fiber. They’re also an excellent way to add lowsodium and low-cholesterol protein to your diet that can leave you feeling satisfied but not stuffed. Light finger foods and dips are ideal summer snacks. Hummus, made from chickpeas and tahini (ground sesame seeds), makes for a quick and easy treat by itself or paired with health-conscious options like air-popped chips, whole-grain crackers or veggie sticks. You can also create simple summer snacks using hummus as an ingredient. These vegan Cucumber Cups are the perfect refreshing pick-me-up on a hot afternoon, and they’re stylish enough to serve to guests at an upscale cookout. For a cool and creamy summer appetizer, try these

vegetarian Southwestern Snack Bites made with hummus, guacamole and Greek yogurt. Find more healthy ideas to help you snack your way through summer at sabra.com. Southwestern Hummus Bites Yield: 30 pieces 1 package (7 ounces) whole-grain bagel chips 1 container (10 ounces) Sabra Hummus 2 cups pico de gallo 1 cup guacamole 1 cup plain, low-fat Greek yogurt 4 green onions, sliced (optional) Top each bagel chip with 1 tablespoon hummus, small spoonful of pico de gallo, guacamole and small dollop of yogurt. Garnish with slices of green onion, if desired. Cucumber Cups Yield: 16 pieces 2 English cucumbers 1 container (10 ounces) Sabra Hummus 1 teaspoon paprika 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped Peel cucumbers and slice lengthwise into 1 1/4-inch pieces. Using melon baller, carve out seeds to create vessel, making sure to leave bottom intact. Using piping bag or small spoon, fill each cucumber with hummus (about 1 teaspoon each). Sprinkle with paprika and finely chopped parsley.

Soft skills will help you land that next job You’ve polished your resume, updated your references and picked up your best outfit from the dry cleaners. You’re ready for that big interview. But while your experience and qualifications may match the position perfectly, have you given any thought to your soft skills? Soft skills include a person’s attitude, workplace behavior, values and ethics. Increasingly, employers are looking at soft skills as the deciding factor when choosing between two applicants. Harry Weimann, director of education at WyoTech Blairsville and a business owner since 1986, says he wishes he would have learned to look for the appropriate skills long ago. “As a business owner for many years, I’ve hired several employees,” Weimann says. “Some were talented workers, but I never could pinpoint why I rarely got the person I was looking for. Working for WyoTech opened my eyes to what I was missing - soft skills.” Weimann says employers view an employee who shows up on time, performs the job correctly and respects others as being more valuable in many cases than an employee who is technically competent but shows up late, is sloppily dressed and has a poor attitude. Because of this, employers are looking harder at soft skills when hiring in the current Page 16

market. “For some reason, organizations seem to expect people to know how to behave on the job or have the right soft skills,” says Weimann. “The assumption is that everyone knows the importance of being on time, being accountable, having integrity and being a team player, but is that fair to expect without communicating that during the interview process?” When you head to that big interview,

The Newport News

you should expect to face some soft skill questions. These may include: * What is your definition of integrity? * What does it mean to be accountable? * What is your definition of common sense? * What is your definition of customer service? * What are your feelings regarding deadlines? * How do you handle high-pressure

situations? * Tell me an example of how you’ve resolved a conflict in the past. Make sure you are able to answer each of these questions with the same accuracy and confidence you would apply to any question about your resume. As employers continue to search for candidates with the right professional and soft skills, it is up to you to prove that you are qualified in both. - (BPT)

There are other legal requirements. You may want to call an attorney right away. If you do not know an attorney, you may want to call an attorney referral service. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for free legal services from a nonprofit legal services program. You can locate these nonprofit groups at the California Legal Services Website(www.lawhelpcalifornia.org),the California Courts Online SelfHelp Center (www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), or by contacting your local court or county bar association. NOTE: The court has a statutory lien for waived fees and costs on any settlement or arbitration award of $10,000 or more in a civil case. The court’s lien must be paid before the court will dismiss the case. AVISO! Lo han demandado. Si no responde dentro de 30 dias, la corte puede decidir en su contra sin eschichar su version.
