Dressage Horses: An Overview What Makes a Horse Good for Dressage?

By Rena Sherwood Any horse, pony, donkey or mule can learn to do the maneuvers used in dressage. However, it takes a certain type of horse to be able to win a Grand Prix dressage event (dressage’s highest level). Although many breeds can be found at a Grand Prix dressage event, they are all of a certain type - flexible like an archer’s bow.

The Dressage Silhouette When you watch a Grand Prix dressage competition, it seems that all of the mounts have been cut out from different materials using the same pattern. Their shadows will cast nearly the same silhouette. Only their colors, sizes and thickness of tails tend to be only differing factors.

Even while standing or doing extended gaits, the dressage horse must be well collected. This means that the neck is shaped like a curved bow, with the nose pointing mostly to the ground. The hindquarters should also be collected in that the hind legs are well under the horse and powering him along. By being collected, a horse is in a better position to stay

balanced and to listen to the rider’s silent aids.

If you’ve ever seen a completely relaxed horse, their limbs look as if they’re all over the place. Their heads lower and they loose their roundness and their sense of balance. When they don’t have a rider, this isn’t so important. But with a rider’s weight, being suddenly asked to do a turn could make the horse stumble (at worst) or completely ignore the rider (at best).

When a horse is collected and fits into the dressage silhouette, a rider can use very subtle signals to cue the horse as to what to do. Ideally, it looks as if the rider isn’t doing anything.

This saves on a lot of tugging at a horse’s sensitive mouth.

The Warmbloods The usual breeds in dressage Grand Prix events are warmbloods or sport horses. Warmbloods ride the happy balance between an Arabian’s almost fragile slimness and the sheer brute power of a draft horse. Older Thoroughbreds (while technically hotbloods), if they are trained slowly and allowed for their bodies to put on muscle before being asked to do

strenuous tasks, can make ideal dressage horses.

Many warmblood or sport horse breeds do have Thoroughbred in their parent stock somewhere.

Some even have draft horse or pony blood. There are such creatures as warmblood mules (a cross between a donkey jack and a warmblood mare) that can make excellent dressage competitors.

Grand Prix dressage horse breeds include the Hanoverians, the Trakehner, the Belgian Warmblood, the Dutch Wa r m b l o o d , t h e Selle Francais, the Irish Sport Horse, the become limber enough to perform Lippizanner, the Andalusian and even dressage competitively.

The views and opinions expressed are those of the publisher and not any organization. No reproduction, in whole or in part is permitted without the express written permission of San Clemente News.

Legal Advertising: The San Clemente News was adjudicated by the Orange County Superior Court as a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code 6000 case #06CC00655 on March 21, 2006 and as such is the appropriate newspaper to place legal and public notices for the South Orange County Judicial District and the Cities of Dana Point and San Clemente.

MUZEO is proud to announce the third annual MUZEO TrashARTist Challenge. This unique environmentally-conscious event connects more than 400,000 Orange County students, grades 3 through 12, administrators, city and business leaders by focusing on a countywide TrashARTist Challenge to teach about conservation and recycling through the arts. The event culminates in a huge Expo at MUZEO in downtown Anaheim April 21 over Earth Day weekend from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The expo includes a Sustainability Showcase, music, food, entertainment and awards. Winning projects will remain on display at MUZEO through May. “The role of a great museum is to educate, inspire and create dialogue to grow mankind. The arts transform communities because of their power to enlighten. Sponsoring an arts education program whose sole focus is on creating change by encouraging participation from businesses and students in a county-wide “green” arts event aligns with our purpose and is very satisfying on every level,” states John Scola, Executive Director of The MUZEO Foundation.

In 2010 MUZEO created the TrashARTist Challenge in collaboration with Hilton Anaheim and Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) to educate students about green initiatives and the impact it will have on their lives and future generations. The idea was to partner students and schools with innovative businesses to create a big impact with this powerful message. Basi-

cally, all students, in public, private or home schools grades 3 through 12 throughout Orange County are invited to create a project turning trash into art then submitting a photo to compete for prizes for their class and their school.

If you know of a student or teacher who wishes to create a TrashARTist Challenge project go to www.muzeo.org/ trashartist for more information and to register your project.

This year, Wells Fargo Foundation is the significant sponsor of the MUZEO TrashARTIST Challenge along with OCDE, Disneyland, Real Goods Solar, and MUZEO. MUZEO is a 25,000 square foot museum complex located in the heart of downtown Anaheim since October, 2007. As a museum of celebration and understanding it is designed to broaden awareness of matters and issues outside of its immediate environment through the presentation of internationally renowned traveling exhibitions, presentations and unique programs designed to appeal to visitors of all ages. In addition to presenting exhibitions as renowned as Imperial Rome, Treasures of Napoleon, Under African Skies and Chocolate: The Exhibition; MUZEO is committed to arts education within the community it resides. www.muzeo. org for more information.

MUZEO’s current exhibition is THE WORD: Ink & Blood. From Dead Sea Scrolls to Gutenberg, explore the written history of our existence – through September 9, 2012. Admission to

MUZEO is $13 for adults, $9 for children 12 and under. 3 and under is free. Group tour discounts (for groups of fifteen or more) and senior discounts are also available. Admission allows visitor access to both Ink & Blood and Resonating Fields: Photography by Lois Greenfield located in the adjacent Carnegie Building.

Resonating Fields encompasses incomparable images of the precision and power of the human body.

MUZEO is located in the heart of downtown Anaheim, at 241 S. Anaheim Blvd. just two miles from the Disneyland Resort. Validated parking is available in the parking structures on Center Street Promenade. MUZEO is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

SAN CLEMENTE Dressage Riders Pursue Olympic Dreams at Upcoming Mid-Winter Dressage Fair and Festival of the Horse

Jan Ebeling and Rafalca at the 2011 Festival of the Horse (Photo: Jennier Keeler)

Written by Jennifer Keeler - Yellow Horse Marketing Athletes around the world who compete in sports ranging from archery to weightlifting are dreaming about the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England. Equestrians are no exception, and West Coast dressage riders will begin their quests for a team berth at Cornerstone Event Management’s Mid-Winter Dressage Fair CDI-W and Festival of the Horse CDI 3* competitions in California this spring.

The Mid-Winter Dressage Fair CDIW/Y/J, scheduled for February 23 - 26 in Burbank, CA, will be the first West Coast qualifying competition for the 2012 Olympic Games Dressage Team Selection Trials, and is also one of only two California qualifiers for the 2012 Reem Acra FEI World Cup Finals.

Competitors attending the MidWinter Dressage Fair will experience a whole new look to the Los Angeles Page 6

Equestrian Center, as hi-tech and horse-friendly Olympic Mix footing has been installed in the outside large oval ring, including the warm-up area.

Regardless of weather, horses will be able to show off the best of their abilities in this soft, stable, non-slip footing, which is the same high-tech formula used at such prestigious events as the World Cup Finals and the Olympic Games. Officiating for this High Performance competition will be Jean-Michele Roudier (5*) of France, who will serve as a member of the ground jury for this summer’s Olympic Games. Roudier will be joined by esteemed judges Linda Zang (5* USA), Cara Whitham (5* CAN), Eddy de Wolff (4* NED), Jayne Ayers (4* USA), and Brenda Minor (4* CAN).

In addition to High Performance dressage, the Mid-Winter Dressage Fair will also feature five team challenges, adding a new element of competition and excitement for all levels of riders.

The $750 CDI Challenge and $500 Freestyle Challenge will pair riders from the CDI Grand Prix and Prix St.

Oaks Blenheim in San Juan Capistrano

Georges/Intermediaire I divisions, while open show competitors will vie for additional prize money in the ProAm Upper Level Challenge (Third and Fourth Levels); Pro-Am Lower Level Challenge (First and Second Levels); and the All Amateur Training Level Challenge.

In an exciting development for this year’s show calendar, Cornerstone Event Management is working with Blenheim EquiSport to bring their second Olympic Games qualifier, the Festival of the Horse CDI 3*/Y/J, to “The Oaks” in beautiful San Juan Capistrano on March 29 - 31. As the site of the 2004 and 2008 U.S. Dressage Selection Trials for the Olympic Games, it was only natural for this spectacular facility to once again open its doors to North America’s top dressage competitors. Long known for its outstanding footing, “The Oaks” facility includes five sand and fiber arenas, with separate warm-up and lunging rings. The ground jury for this event will also feature a 2012 Olympic Games judge, the USA’s Gary Rock-

well (5*), joined by Mary Seefried (5* AUS), Jane Weatherwax (4* USA), Lorraine MacDonald (4* CAN), and Gabriel Armando (3* ARG). For additional excitement, the Festival of the Horse CDI will be held in conjunction with the Blenheim Spring Classic Hunter/Jumper show, featuring the $40,000 Grand Prix Jumping Event.

“I am very excited about holding the Festival of the Horse CDI 3* in San Juan Capistrano and working with the Blenheim EquiSport team,” said event organizer Glenda McElroy. “They have produced so many top hunter/ jumper events that it’s difficult to count them. Now this facility, with its outstanding footing and atmosphere, will give dressage riders another option for enjoying top competition. I see this as a tremendous opportunity for bigger and better events, more excitement for competitors and spectators, and exposure to a new audience. It should be very positive for dressage.”

Private Yacht Cruise Benefits Red Cross As the sun set in Newport Harbor, around 50 philanthropists, VIP’s and special guests of the American Red Cross were catered to an extraordinary evening of cocktails, dinner and a harbor cruise featuring Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, the “category 5 general” of Hurricane Katrina fame as the featured guest speaker.

Climbing aboard the 105 foot custom built multimillion dollar motor yacht; folks were amazed by its beauty. Bill and Sue Johnson, from Johnson Machinery are the proud owners of The “Dulcinea” and hosted this exquisite evening to benefit the American Red Cross. The yacht was built in 1988 and travels from as far as Sitka, Alaska to the Panama Canal. This luxury yacht is equipped with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms with beautiful exterior teak decks and ripsaw white oak. The inside is just as sleek with top of the line beautiful décor, utilizing granite and marble along with hand laid tile. It takes about three full time crew members to run the boat while traveling; Captain Ron Stephens kept us on track circling the bay at a nice cruising speed that was smooth as glass.

Enjoying the appetizers created by Robert Redmond Catering in Newport Beach, guests dined on caprese salad skewers, vegetable tarts of roasted peppers and eggplant with goat cheese, stuffed artichoke hearts with Lemon Aioli and Focaccia with three cheeses and sun dried tomatoes. Dinner consisted of Field of Greens salad with lemon thyme dressing, California Fresh Asparagus, and Chicken Tetrazzini with mushrooms, almonds and water chestnuts. Dessert guests enjoyed cream puffs with fresh caramel and whip cream, chocolate chip and palmiers cookies.

While everyone was enjoying their delectable desserts, Rick Reiff, host of SoCal Insider on PBS SoCal welcomed and thanked those that were there.

He introduced Stanley Purdue, the CEO of The American Red Cross serving Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Purdue introduced and thanked Bill and Sue Johnson for hosting the intimate affair on their yacht and also recognized them as founding members of the Humanitarian Circle of the American Red Cross. The Humanitarian Circle is an exclusive group of leaders who utilize their collective financial power to change lives and strengthen their communities through their support of the American Red Cross. He also recognized Suzanne Fradette and Ellie McGrew as Founding members of the Tiffany Circle, a society of women leaders and philanthropists that was started two years ago. They are both lifetime members pledging $100,000 over 10 years.

Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré then came up and spoke to the group. His passion is very evident for the American Red Cross, telling everyone he wants to create a “culture of preparedness” and that he’s committed to spending the second half of his life to this. “Every effort I take, whether it is my website, public speaking/lectures, fundraisers or the books I have written or will write, will be committed to this cause,” he said. He also encouraged everyone to learn first aid and CPR, and especially to be prepared for a disaster. Those who the Red Cross helps are normally those who do not have family or another place to go in case of an emergency. The Red Cross also is there for our military; he spent 37 years, 3 months and 3 days in the Army - 9 ½ of those years were overseas.

He spoke about World War I, how there were 30 million Red Cross volunteers in the United States. That’s twice as many as we have today he announced.

Money needs to be raised to help the organization help America. An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs. The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donation of time, money and blood to do its work.

So whether it’s a call for a hurricane or a heart attack; a call for blood or a call for help, the American Red Cross is there to help. For more information visit www.oc-redcross.org.

The Basic Dressage Principles

By Stacie Campuzano Dressage, a French term, is fundamentally the schooling or education of the horse. Therefore, dressage principles are for every horse. The primary aim of dressage is to create a riding horse that is a calm, obedient and willing partner athletically capable of meeting the rider’s demands.

It is based on a systematic process of training that began with the ancient Greeks, continued through the Renaissance, and remains today as both a classical art for maximizing the capabilities of all riding horses and as a form of competition in itself.

In 1912 a scale of training was established which has been streamlined into a globally recognized schematic to demonstrate the subsequent stages of development in the training of a horse. The United States Dressage Federation calls it the Pyramid of Training. The steps of the training scale are Rhythm, Suppleness, Contact, Impulsion, Straightness, and Collection. However, these basic dressage principles can be succinctly categorized by the enduring axiom that a horse should be ridden, “calm, forward, and straight.”

This is quintessentially the dressage principle by which all horses are ridden and trained. Without them, no other aspect of the training scale can be effectively developed. Horses performing without adherence to dressage principles are merely performing parlor tricks. Additionally, their physical and mental well-being is not being tended to.

A horse that has been trained and ridden according to basic dressage principles is characterized by a balanced way of going. It will demonstrate cadenced light steps and a relative elevation of the forehand in relation to the haunches which will be more flexed and lowered. Horses that are ridden freely forward will step with the hind legs further under their mass, closer to the center of gravity.

This quality is called engagement. As the horse becomes more engaged, the hind quarters will flex and lower on each step creating an undulating swing to the horse’s back so long as he has been kept calm in the process. Riding transitions and circles in thoughtful patterns allows a rider to both energize and quiet a horse as needed to create engagement without sacrificing the quality of calm while achieving a forward way of going.

Typically, riding bent lines, like circles, figure eights and spirals have a calming effect on a horse. Straight lines on the other hand tend to energize a horse. Mixing them appropriately

allows a rider to develop the forward motion of the horse needed for good engagement while also keeping the horse relaxed.

However, all horses have a stronger and weaker side much as humans do. For a horse, this means one side of the body is slightly hollow or concave in relation to the other which will feel bulging and stiff to the rider.

This innate crookedness has the effect causing the horse to appear stiff during turns and sideward movements as well as lose its balance. A straightened horse will turn and execute bending and lateral movements with equal grace in both directions.

The remedy is also the cure, and that is to ride bending lines and corners with attention to the horse using its whole body to bend from the poll to the tail as well to the left as it does to the right. Through practice, the horse will become more “straight” or evenly skilled from left to right.

An onlooker watching a horse ridden and trained according to the basic principles of dressage, would see that a horse so well balanced would maintain nearly perfect rhythm and cadence as it performed the compulsory gaits and figures. Further, the horse by compassionate training would trust the rider and feel comfortable in the demands remaining calm. Gentle champing at the bit, a swinging tail, and a soft expression with the ears flicking curiously to the rider are key indicators of a calm horse that enjoys its partnership.

Ultimately, the horse will become more beautiful by being ridden calm, forward, and straight than when it was still untrained and un-ridden.

To this day, dressage tests are judged by criteria which seek to mea-

sure the degree to which the horse exhibits these qualities. In a dressage test, riders at sequential levels of increasing difficulty, each ride the same compulsory pattern as an individual. A twenty by sixty meter arena is marked with letters in specific locations establishing points where transitions between gaits or geometric figures must be placed. Riders are judged on a scale from zero to ten for each individual movement or transition within the test, with zero reflecting that the movement was not performed and a score of ten declaring that it was excellent. Marks are totaled and divided by the number of possible points should all elements have received a ten. The percentage is figured and this score is used to rank the competitors for the purpose of awards. A score in the range of the sixtieth percentile is considered adequate for the given level; however, riders seek to achieve scores into the seventieth percentile. Scores over 80% are rare and generally seen in freely composed rides to music for which there is an artistic component to the score. Only at the Olympic and World Class level are scores routinely over 80% in the highest placements.

Riders find that paying close attention to the most basic principles of dressage through the whole test, they score higher than focusing on a few flashy movements while losing the quality of their basics in between.

Many riders enjoy the fact that by riding the same compulsory pattern

at a series of events and under different panels of judges, they can see a trend of progression. On any given day, the winner has in reality shown the lesser of evils as a perfect score is virtually impossible. Therefore, the trend of scores an individual receives over a season is more indicative of success than the individual placing at any one event.

Dressage is as much about the process as it is the destination. For many enthusiasts dressage is a path of achieving unity with the horse.

Keeping the essential principles in mind anyone training a horse for any purpose can maximize its potential.

Even a prospect for jumping or endurance racing will be easier to ride, more obedient, and maintain better physical health through the demands of sport if it is trained and ridden according the dressage principles of calm, forward and straight.

CHARMING HUMPERDINCK’S OPERA, “HANSEL AND GRETEL” The captivating fairy tale opera, “Hansel and Gretel,” comes to life in full orchestral and vocal color for Pacific Symphony’s Family Musical Mornings’ unique production of Humperdinck’s beloved opera, created just for kids. Kicking off the Symphony’s new opera-vocal initiative—which includes a production of Puccini’s “La Bohème” this April and “Tosca” in February 2013—this 45-minute performance includes original narration and dialogue to introduce children to the beautiful and powerful instrument, the voice. Led by Assistant Conductor Maxim Eshkenazy, the orchestra and singers tell the familiar Brothers Grimm story of two siblings who venture into a magical forest to find a gingerbread house made of candy. But, beware! A wicked witch wants to turn them into a snack! Staged with costumes, props and scenery projected on the big screen. Presented by Farmers and Merchants Bank and underwritten by the Honorable H. Warren and Janet Siegel, “Hansel and Gretel” takes place Saturday, March 3, at 10 and 11:30 a.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.

Tickets are $19-36 and include a Musical Carnival before or after the show (more below). For more information or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.

“The music of ‘Hansel and Gretel’ is luscious, but merry in style,” says Maestro Eshkenazy. “It’s romantic music that accompanies a very special fairytale. To add character to the children on stage, the opera includes folk tunes, children-like songs, but it remains masterfully orchestrated. Overall the whole opera is beautiful, but what grabs my attention is the overture, which starts with just the Page 14

horns but then goes into a rich string sound that I just love.”

The Symphony is collaborating with Chapman University to further its educational mission and to allow the young audience at Family concerts to see performers closer to their own age. Additional projects with Chapman include performances in the lobby before upcoming classical concerts and participating in opera outings hosted by the Symphony.

“With our new opera-vocal initiative including a semi-staged production of ‘La Bohème’ on our classical series, it’s important to us to present the same art form to children and their parents as well,” Eshkenazy continues. “It’s very gratifying to work with voice, and the Chapman students are gaining a lot of experience from our collaboration. I’m having a great time.

Differing from most opera productions, the Symphony brings the orchestra out of the pit and onto the stage to deliver the lush, Wagnerian compositions of Humperdinck.

In addition to the concert, children and families are invited to attend the Musical Carnival beginning at 9 a.m. (for the 10 a.m. concert) and 12:15 p.m. (for the 11:30 a.m. concert). The carnival features Chapman singers, a Spotlight on Voice, Ask the Orchestra, Instrument Test Drive, Meet the Musicians, Meet the Young Musicians (from Pacific

The San Clemente News

Symphony Youth Ensembles) and a trumpet duo to greet everyone with fanfare.

“I remember reading the Brothers Grimm story as a boy, and I was very afraid of the witch!” says Eshkenazy. “She could chop me into little pieces and throw me in a cooking pot! But this opera is specially designed for children with all of the best parts and is going to be great fun.”

Family Musical Mornings concludes on May 12, for the season’s final concert, “Happily Ever After?” featuring selections from Tchaikovsky’s “Sleeping Beauty.” Children are welcome to come dressed as their favorite fairy tale characters.

Grand Giant Cabbages Encourage Kids To Garden The North American youth is perhaps the future of gardening… Perhaps no other greenhouse grower is doing more to foster young gardeners than Bonnie Plants of Union Springs, Alabama. The company operates from 65 growing stations, in 48 states and its primary products are vegetable and herb plants offered at garden retailers nationwide (Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart and 3700 independents.) Through the company’s Third Grade Cabbage Program, Bonnie Plants has shared more than 11 million cabbage plants with young students across the nation since 2002.

Teachers can sign their classes up (for free) at www.bonnieplants.com.

Last season more than 1.5 million kids participated. The cabbage plants delivered to third grade classrooms

by Bonnie Plants are O.S. Cross, (OS stands for oversized) –this variety of cabbage can grow upwards of 40lbs. Once the cabbage is fully grown students submit their photos of their cabbages to their teacher who picks “best in class”. Statewide “best in class” photos are then entered in a random drawing and State Agricultural Commissioners, state to state, randomly select their state’s winner.

Bonnie Plants awards each state win-

ner $1,000 towards education. “The joy of gardening and the satisfaction of growing healthy food are gifts that kids never outgrow. said Stan Cope, President of Bonnie Plants.

Bonnie Plants recently partnered with Growums, an online company, to promote gardening and healthy eating to kids. Bonnie licensed 8 animated veggie and herb characters that interact with users on www. growums.com Children purchasing these products receive a code on the plant tag that allows them to interact on the website with characters such as Hal E. Peno, Princess Strawberry and Duke the Cuke. Growums character images will be prominently displayed on all Bonnie’s point of purchase materials including the wraps for the company’s biodegradable pots.

Children can log on to Growums.com and play with the animated veggies and herb characters in a virtual world.

“With its entertaining characters, engaging videos, games and activities, the Growums brand is a great conduit to reach our next generation of gardeners” Cope said. “This experience-based learning will help inspire and build a love of gardening that will last a lifetime.

France’s Award-Winning Ebène Quartet Makes its Debut at Segerstrom Center for the Arts

One of the most sought-after chamber groups in the world, France’s Ebène Quartet, will perform in Segerstrom Center for the Arts’ Concert Series March 3 in Samueli Theater. For its Segerstrom Center debut, the ensemble’s program will include Mozart’s Quartet in C Major, K. 465, “Dissonance;” Schubert’s Quartet in A minor, Op. 29, No. 1, D. 804, “Rosamunde” and Tchaikovsky’s Quartet No. 1 in D Major, Op. 11, “Accordion.” The quartet is comprised of Pierre Colombet, violin; Gabriel Le Magadure, violin; Mathieu Herzog, viola and Raphaël Merlin, cello.

The New Yorker described the group’s playing as “so secure, alive, rich-toned and profoundly musical… they seem bound for greatness.” Distinguished by its youth, open-mindedness and versatility, the Ebène Quartet has had a meteoric rise to the top. The quartet made its U.S. debut tour in March 2009 to widespread, dazzling critical acclaim. The tour featured performances in Boston, Seattle and Washington, D.C., and at Carnegie Hall.

Tickets to see the Ebène Quartet are $60 and are available now at SCFTA.org, by calling (714) 556-2787 and at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa. For inquiries about group ticket discounts, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746. A free Preview Talk with

musicologist and author Herbert Glass will take place at 7:15 p.m. in Samueli Theater.

Segerstrom Center applauds the Colburn Foundation for its generous support of this concert. Classical KUSC 91.5 is the Media Sponsor of the 2011-2012 Concert Series.

The Ebène Quartet has studied extensively with the Ysaÿe Quartet in Paris as well as with the eminent Gábor Takács, Eberhard Feltz and György Kurtág.

Since its dramatic 2004 triumph at the prestigious ARD international competition in Munich, where the quartet was also awarded five additional special prizes, the Ebène has gone on to win the ForbergSchneider Foundation’s Belmont Prize in 2005. It has since remained close to the foundation, which has very generously arranged to have the quartet outfitted with several unique Italian instruments, on loan to the quartet members from private owners.

From “promising young ensemble,” the Ebène Quartet has grown to become one of today’s foremost quartets on the international scene. In 2006, the foursome was specially selected to take part in the BBC’s esteemed “New GenerationArtists” scheme and in 2007, became Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award winners. The support of the Borletti-Buitoni Foundation sponsored

its first, critically acclaimed live recording of works by Haydn as well as a second CD entirely devoted to works of Bartók.

The year 2009 marked the beginning of an especially fruitful collaboration with the Virgin Classics label. The quartet’s Debussy, Ravel and Fauré recording was awarded several prizes, including “Chamber Music Record of the Year” by ECHO-Klassik, the fff Télérama award, the “CHOC” Monde de la Musique award and, most notably, “Recording of the Year” by the prestigious magazine Gramophone. There followed a Brahms CD with the pianist Akiko Yamamoto, which demonstrated once again how at ease

the quartet performs in a range of styles.

A jazz and world music album, titled Fiction, was released in Fall 2010. The Ebène received an Echo Award and nearly hit the top of the charts. At the beginning of 20112012 season, Virgin Classics released a live DVD of Fiction, recorded at Folies Bergère in Paris. The quartet’s new CD featuring Mozart’s String Quartets (KV 421, KV 465) and Divertimento KV 138 stays true to its focus on classical music.

The Ebène Quartet has recently begun teaching at the prestigious Colburn in Los Angeles.

Winners of Concerto Competition Perform at Saddleback College

Nicole Catsouras

CHP Settles Suit Over Leaked Photos of Deceased Orange County Teen nicole catsouras In October of 2006 grisly photographs of an Orange County teen killed in a car accident began spreading online. The photos were leaked by the California Highway Patrol.

The Law Firm of Bremer Whyte filed an immediate lawsuit and coordinated efforts with the family to get the offending photos off of the web.

After five years of legal battling, the young woman’s family has settled the lawsuit against the CHP. The photos from the Halloween 2006 accident graphically show 18-year-old Nicole “Nikki” Catsouras maimed in her father’s mangled Porsche. Lead by Keith Bremer and Tyler Offenhauser, the family filed a lawsuit against the CHP, launching an unprecedented legal discussion. At the time the lawsuit was filed, the law did not recognize the right of family members to sue for invasion of privacy involving photos of the dead on the internet. But that changed in 2010 when the state’s 4th District Court of Appeal established that surviving family members have a right to sue for invasion of privacy in such cases.

“The Catsouras family is pleased that this case established laws to protect against this type of activity going forward, and that it raised significant awareness concerning cyberbullying,” Keith Bremer said in a front page OC Register article on the case. “Public entities throughout the U.S. have now established protocols to ensure photos like these that serve no public benefit remain protected Page 18

so that other families are not subject to the taunting and bullying that still goes on even today.” (Source: OC Register) As part of the settlement, the California Highway Patrol also agreed to cooperate with the family in fighting to remove the images from the Internet.

“No amount of money can compensate for the pain the Catsouras family has suffered,” CHP spokeswoman Fran Clader said in a statement. “We have reached a resolution with the family to save substantial costs of continued litigation and a jury trial.

It is our hope that with this legal issue resolved, the Catsouras family can receive some closure.” (Source: LATimes.com) The family expressed congratulations to Keith G. Bremer and his team of attorneys for their thoughtful and aggressive approach on behalf of the Catsouras family. To speak with Keith directly and for more information regarding the case, please call (949) 221-1000.

Debra Kovacs Ranked #39 Worldwide As a real estate professional who continues to successfully navigate one of the most challenging markets in recent history, Debra Kovacs is constantly asked, “What’s your secret?” She never hesitates in her answer. “There is no secret to success,” she asserts. “ It’s hard work, adaptability and a commitment to meeting your clients’ needs. As our market and industry continue to shift, smart agents are amending their businesses accordingly. Those of us who have remained in the industry are here because this is our career, not a job.”

Debra knows plenty about working beyond the traditional 9-10-5 model. Before dedicating herself to real estate she owned and ran a complete design center for over a decade. From new home interiors and retail schemes to staging and decorating model homes, she worked closely with clients to assist them in creating unique spaces that reflected their lifestyles. And as a real estate professional, she taps into the very skills that helped her build a thriving design business.

“Real estate is a complex industry,” observes Debra. “While incorporating and utilizing technology is essential, this business is still about people, about relationships.” She makes a point of engaging in face-to-face meetings with her clients at the onset of any transaction because, says Debra, “Why would someone entrust me with one of the largest investments in their lives if we can’t actually sit down and talk to each other?”

Building a strong level of communication is critical, she explains, particularly when issues or challenges arise. ‘’I’m direct and straightforward with the information I present to my clients,” Debra notes. “It is important to me that they have the knowledge they need to make the right decisions for themselves and their families.”

As a longtime resident of Coto de Caza, Debra is intimately familiar with the community’s resources and amenities. Her ability to pair clients with neighborhoods that meet their lifestyle criteria adds immeasurable value to the level of service she provides. “ It’s convenient, particularly for individuals who are coming in from other regions, not to have to research every detail of the community,” she explains. A topproducing agent who has ranked #1 within the CENTURY 21 Award system in South County for over 10 years, In 2011 Debra was recently recognized as 39th worldwide from a field of 7600 offices and 71 countries and from a pool of over 112,000 agents. She personally handled over 44 closed transactions. Debra notes that her consistent production belies a deeper understanding of the market trends within the region. “I’m constantly showing and selling homes,” she states. “ I have a strong working knowledge of market values and trends, and use that information to best position my clients in their real estate transactions.”

Achieving status as one of the region’s most successful real estate professionals doesn’t happen without exceptional support. Debra’s assistant has been a part of her business for a decade. “My team is an extension of me,” she offers. “ In every aspect of my business, I work with individuals who offer the utmost in client care. This ensures that my clients’ needs are consistently being met.” Throughout the transaction, she adds, Debra takes the lead on communication and negotiation, utilizing her experience and extensive network of colleagues and industry-related specialists to facilitate a smooth and successful experience.

In order to best meet the diverse needs of her clientele, Debra remains committed to ongoing education and utilizing the vast resources available through CENTURY 21 Award, the brokerage that launched her real estate career. “This company has stood by me for over eleven years, supporting me in building my business and offering my clients the best possible care,” she asserts. “In addition to an in-house marketing department, strong relocation division and the convenience of in-house escrow, I am also privy to the knowledge and experience of an incredible management team. The support and resources available through CENTURY 21 Award have been integral components to my success.

Debra is adept at working with a range of transactions including high-end and luxury home sales, REO and short sales, and relocations. Strong online and print marketing campaigns include beautiful photography designed to showcase each home’s unique beauty. In addition to her top-producer status within her brokerage, she has also earned recognition as one of CENTURY 21’s top-10 agents worldwide.

After over two decades of real estate, Debra reveals that what keeps her energized and enthusiastic is her passion for her work. “Selling houses and helping others is so rewarding,” she enthuses. “When you are passionate about your work, when you enjoy what you do, everything falls into place.”
