A Children’s Halloween Extravaganza!

From little monsters to grown-up goblins, Halloween is when sweets truly take center stage. Make this October 31 a day to re-member with these spine-tingling celebration tips.

Host a Spooky Story Night. Have family and friends dress up in their costumes and come over to tell haunting tales. Make a story chain by having each person tell a portion of a story and take turns adding embellishments and silly twists.

Practice Safe Trick-or-Treating. Contact your neighbors and sug-gest meeting as a large group to trick-or-treat together. Create a map of trusted houses for the group to visit, with each family hosting for a half-hour of games, snacks and refreshments. Rotate until everyone gets to play host.

Enjoy a Family Bake-tivity. On the night before Halloween, gather the kids to bake these simple but eye-catching cupcakes adorned with “cobwebs.” Enjoy them the next night when it’s your turn to host the neighborhood trick-or-treaters,

The haunted house is enclosed the whole time except during the graveyard section. There is a clown section that looks amazing with blacklights, neon paint, and glow of the dark killer clowns. A perfect match!

There is no age requirement but the display may be too frightening for young children so ages 8+ is recommended. The name of the haunted house is “HALLS of TERROR”. Visit facebook.com/ochaunt for a special preview.

The Mission Viejo Animal Services Center is hosting a special Bunny Hop-O-Ween Fest Saturday and Sunday featuring adorable rabbits for only $45.

The fest is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes volunteers who can answer questions and help you find the perfect match. Rabbits make great pets. They don’t bark, hiss or squawk. Aside from gentle clicking of the teeth when happy or a low grunt when irritated, rabbits are virtually noiseless. When treated with respect and care, most house rabbits will show their affection by giving you soft licks just like kisses. They are also playful and personable.

All rabbits available for adoption have been spayed or neutered and mi-crochipped.

The Mission Viejo Animal Services Center is at 28095 Hillcrest. For more information, call 949-470-3045.

A new Laderian, Blake McGraw was born on June 11, 2012. He was born a healthy baby boy with a little surprise...a LUCKY LEFT ARM. His odds were 1 in 22,000 babies. We think he is a pretty LUCKY lil guy! He has 2 great older sisters, one attends Oso Grande in First Grade and the other is at Goddard. Now at 4 months he has learned to roll over! Starting his accomplishments young...he will have “no limb-its”. His mother, Krystal McGraw decided to start “Halos for Blake”, a non-profit charity organi-zation, to raise awareness and host fundraising events so he can have

two hands...a myoelectric prosthetic hand.

The mission for “Halos for Blake” is to provide an educational and sup-portive community for all families that are affected by congenital amputa-tion. Through fundraising events, do-nations of fun, festive, quality hand-made “Halos” (wreaths) and other goods, we strive to provide Blake with cutting edge myoelectric prosthetics and other emerging technologies as we take friends and family on our journey and provide insight as we learn and grow. We hope to grow our charity to not only assist Blake but to

provide other families with the same love, support and donations.

We encourage you to visit http://www.halosforblake.org/ to meet Blake, purchase “Halos” and register for future events so you can embark on this exciting journey with us.

Our first ever event will be on Wed. Nov. 14 from 3:00-5:15pm at Pump It Up in Lake Forrest. Register at http://www.halosforblake.org,/ click Halo Shop.

Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Discusses How Soon Should

my Child be Visiting the DentistMany parents ask me “How soon should my child be vis-iting the dentist?” I disagree with the American Dental Association opinion that infants should be seen be a dentist by the time they’re a year old. I called the ADA, and then

two pedodontists (dentists who specialize in treating children) for elaboration. Over my thirty-five years of practicing dentistry, I have felt that, except in very extreme cases, the earliest a child needs to be seen by a dentist is in the third year. After my recent conversations, my opinion hasn’t changed. The specialists and the ADA all agree that the reason to bring the child in earlier is to make sure that the parents know how to take care of their children’s teeth. Here’s what I like to tell parents:Parents should examine their children’s mouths routinely. Once teeth are in, visually checking the mouth is important; and if something looks out of the ordinary, then the child should be seen by a professional. With regard to what a child puts in his or her mouth, sugars (simple carbohydrates) should always be avoided. Apple juice, in par-ticular, is very sugary and acidic; when a child is allowed to drink it from a baby-bottle, irrespective of how enjoyable it may be to the child, it is very bad for the teeth. If a child is thirsty, give your child cool, fresh water. Complex carbohydrates, like fruits or veg-etables, probably don’t break down enough in the mouth to cause cavities, so they’re OK. Babies should never go to sleep with a bottle of milk or formula, either, and for the same reasons. And, soft drinks should NEVER, EVER, cross a child’s lips.Teaching your child the importance of brushing, of course, is something a child should be taught early. Having said that, a child will clean the teeth probably better by eating a carrot, or a stick of celery, or an apple, as by brushing. That’s because they have neither the concept nor the coordination to brush effectively.Unless there’s something out of the ordinary going on such as an accident or a parent has a question, I like to see kids when they’re about three years old. Children do better in the chair on their first visit when they’ve been to my office before with mom or even an older sibling. So, bring your little-one with you when you come in to your get your teeth cleaned. 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.

October 26, 2012

By Kassidy EmmersonOne of my fondest childhood

memories involving Halloween is picking out a pumpkin and carving it to make a Jack O’ Lantern. I passed the tradition down when I had my own family, and you can too. Teach your own kids how to carve a Halloween pumpkin by following the instructions in this article.

It just wouldn’t be Halloween with-out seeing plenty of round, orange pumpkins lit up and setting on decks, porches, and on sidewalks. Your kids are sure to get a kick out of carving their own pumpkin and placing it outside for the world to see.

If your kids are too small to handle a knife safely, they can still help out in other ways to carve their own Hal-loween pumpkin.

The first thing to do, after your kids have chosen a nice, large pumpkin, is to help your kids decide on what kind of face their Halloween ornament is going to have. They can decide on a happy face, an evil-looking face, or even a goofy face that will make people laugh!

An easy way for kids to carve a Hal-loween pumpkin is to use an ink pen to outline the face of their pumpkin first. It’s easier to cut on lines than try to free hand their design with a knife.

Next, place a thick layer of old newspaper on a work surface. Place the pumpkin on top of the newspaper. Then, use a long, serrated knife to cut out a circle around the stem of the pumpkin on its top. The circle will need to be just large enough so your kids can get a hand inside it. Be sure that you or your kids cut the circle out at the top of the pumpkin at an angle. That means, you need to cut the rind so that it’s larger than the flesh on the inside. This will keep the lid from shrinking and falling inside the pumpkin.

You or your kids will have to press down kind of hard with the serrated

knife so it cuts all the way through the thick Halloween pumpkin rind.

Now, have your kids reach inside the pumpkin and remove the flesh, membrane, and the seeds with their hand. Once most of the inside of the shell is cleaned out, use a large spoon to scrape out any remaining stuff. The inside will need to be as clean as possible.

Don’t forget to clean off the inside of the lid too! If you’re going to light up the finished Halloween Jack O’Lantern with a candle, you or your kids will need to cut some small vent holes in the top so the heat can es-cape. Two or three small holes should do the trick. Just be careful not to break the top while you’re cutting the vent holes.

The next step is to use the ser-rated knife to cut out the face on the pumpkin. After you or your kids have completely cut around a feature of the face, you can carefully push the piece out through the shell. Repeat this process until the face of the Jack O’Lantern is complete.

And finally, place a candle- a flat-bottomed votive works well- or a small electrical light inside the middle of the pumpkin shell. Now, the kids’ Hal-loween pumpkin is ready to display! Enjoy!

To clean up, simply lift up the four corners of the thick layer of newspa-per so the pumpkin mess stays inside. Then, crumple the paper together and toss the newspaper away in the trash.

Note: Traditionally, small candles are used to light up Jack O’Lanterns. However, the candles have to be monitored. That, and even the slight-est of breeze can put them out. Using a battery-operated candle, or a small electrical light has its advantages. These type of lights are safer to use, they can’t be blown out by the wind, and your kids can’t get burned like they can with a candle.

BeckStranD cancer FounDation raiSeS $1.342Million at Star StuDDeD eVent

The Beckstrand Cancer Foundation’s Ninth Annual Diamond & Pearl Ball which was held at “Moscow Red Square” or rather The Hangar at the Orange County Fair-grounds, celebrated the life of actress, model, mother, and original member of the iconic “Charlie’s Angels,” Farrah Fawcett, who succumbed to anal cancer in 2009. Fawcett’s longtime friend, author and filmmaker Alana Stewart, who currently serves as President of The Farrah Fawcett Foundation, was recognized for her notable contributions, and Fawcett’s longtime companion Ryan O’Neal accepted the honor.

“An Evening in Russia” black-tie gala was hosted by Eva La Rue, the Founda-tion’s National Spokesperson and star of CSI: Miami and Beckstrand’s Executive Director Lil Spitzer. Community philanthropist Renetta Caya returned as gala chair.

With a Red Carpet Arrival, celebrities lined up and walked the red carpet stopping for photos and interviews as a swarm of photographers clicked away. Celebrities attending the Russian affair included Love Boat’s Dick Van Patten, his wife Pat, and his actor/son Nels Van Patten, NCIS: Los Angeles’ Daniela Ruah, The Bold and the Beautiful’s Don Diamone and his wife Cindy, actress Patrika Darbo, The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Gretchen Rossi, and a dead ringer for Gorbachev, Ronald V. Knapp. Other celebrities spotted were Orange County Fashion Designers Oday Shakar and Marisa Kenson as well as musician and rising “pop with soul” singing star Jaysin Voxx.

Everyone at the silent auction area was abuzz with excitement as folks were able to bid on some fabulous items. Then the “reveal” of the ballroom; walking into the “Moscow Red Square” it was completely transformed into a dynamic red ballroom, with towering buildings, Faberge egg centerpieces, and real ice curtains that were very cold! The table linens were decadent but what caught everyone’s attention were the bevy of Russian vodka girls descending from the ceiling pouring Russian Standard vodka for the 446 guests.

The feast was incredible as was the entertainment but the live auction, which offered amazing items that seriously caused a bidding war, were snatched up by some lucky winners! One of them was an incredible opportunity as a test driver and judge for the Robb Report Car of the Year in Napa, California, courtesy of Presenting Sponsor Lugano Diamonds. La Rue’s husband Joe Cappuccio bought it for her for $100,000. Other larger priced items were an elusive elegant Hermes Birkin bag, these iconic bags remain one of the most recognized bags in the fashion industry – highly coveted for its meticulous craftsmanship and scarcity…Holly Wilson picked it up for $24,000. There was also a “shop and lunch” with Eva La Rue at Neiman Marcus Fashion Island with $600 toward a new pair of shoes and $1,000 toward a new handbag and another $1,000 shopping spree courtesy of Neiman Marcus all while lunching with the star from CSI: Miami at The Mariposa…this went twice for $20,000 each bringing in another $40,000 for the nonprofit.

Other stalwart Beckstrand supporters also stepped up to make major bids in the Fund-A-Need portion of the evening, which raised an impressive $519,560 and helped boost net proceeds to over $1 million. They included Mike and Jan Salta, Dave and Holly Wilson, Keith and Mara Murray, Jeff and Holly Miller, Jim and Alexandra Downey, Steve and Michele George, and Andy and Susan Phillips.

The Diamond & Pearl Ball represents a celebration of cancer survivorship with proceeds from the ball used by Beckstrand Cancer Foundation to provide cancer patients with advocacy and direct financial assistance for critical survival needs, such as rent/mortgage, utilities, food, gas, transportation, medical insurance, co-payments and prescriptions. Since 1974, the Foundation has been providing patients with support that enables them to remain focused on treatment and recovery. For more information, please visit www.beckstrand.org

The holidays are right around the corner and Santa Claus needs help now! Santa, in this case, are Orange County firefighters who, in conjunction with the Orange County Toy Collaborative, are in desperate need of a warehouse they can use to store and distribute toys to needy children throughout the county for their annual “Spark of Love” holiday toy drive.

The warehouse, currently used to store the toys, has been leased. The Toy Collaborative is now in dire need of a warehouse. The wish list for the donated warehouse should include the following minimum requirements:

Have an Orange County location, prefer-ably east of the 55 Freeway.

Have 35,000 – 50,000 square feet of space.

Have a minimum of two loading docks, one for incoming and one for outgoing toys.

Have working restrooms. Have electricity throughout the building to

operate small office equipment. Prefer a secure building with either a

perimeter fence and/or automatic security alarm system.

Minimum 12-24-month license agreement.

The Orange County Toy Collaborative combines the efforts of the Orange County Firefighters’ “Spark of Love” toy drive, the U.S.

Marine Corps’ “Toys for Tots” toy drive, Social Service Agency’s “Operation Santa Claus” program, and the Orange County Society of St. Vincent de Paul holiday charities program. Collectively, these campaigns receive and distribute an average of 300,000 toys annu-ally for needy children and families throughout Orange County.

All toy donations, monetary donations, and warehouse use is tax deductible through its 501(c)3 non-profit status, Federal I.D. Number 01152064; make sure to consult with a tax professional on this matter. You can call Dee Acevedo, the warehouse manager at (714)679-3738, or Brenda Emrick if you have a building for lease.

The National Theatre of Great Brit-ain’s epic WAR HORSE, winner of five 2011 Tony Awards including Best Play, will premiere at Segerstrom Center for the Arts on January 22, 2013. Single tickets, which start at $20, will go on sale Sunday, November 18 at 10 a.m. PST. Tickets will be available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket savings for 10 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746. The 2 p.m. perfor-mance on Saturday, February 2 will include audio description, open caption-ing and sign-language interpretation.

Michael Morpurgo’s novel, War Horse, is also the inspiration for Steven Spielberg’s feature film of the same name, which earned six Oscar nomi-nations including Best Picture. Hailed by The New York Times as “theatrical magic,” WAR HORSE is the powerful story of young Albert’s beloved horse, Joey, who has been enlisted to fight for the English in World War I. In a tale the New York Daily News calls “spell-binding, by turns epic and intimate,” Joey is caught in enemy crossfire and ends up serving both sides of the war before landing in no man’s land. Albert,

not old enough to enlist, embarks on a treacherous mission to find his horse and bring him home. What follows is a remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship, filled with stirring music and songs and told with the some of the most innovative stagecraft of our time.

The tour of WAR HORSE, which was adapted from the book by Morpurgo by Nick Stafford, is directed by Bijan Sheibani based on the original Tony Award-winning direction by Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris, and presented in association with Handspring Puppet Company. At the heart of the show are life-sized puppets which bring breath-ing, galloping, charging horses to thrill-ing life on stage.

In addition to Best Play, WAR HORSE received Tony Awards for Best Direction of a Play (Marianne Elliott and Tom Mor-ris), Best Scenic Design of a Play (Rae Smith), Best Lighting Design of a Play (Paule Constable), and Best Sound Design of a Play (Christopher Shutt). A Special Tony Award was given to Handspring Puppet Company for their integral work on the production. WAR HORSE received its World Premiere in a limited engagement at the National’s Olivier Theatre in 2007. The play re-turned to the National Theatre for a second run playing from 2008-2009 be-

fore transferring to the West End’s New London Theatre in Spring 2009 where it continues to play an open-ended run. WAR HORSE has been seen by more than 2 million people worldwide and is currently playing at New York’s Lincoln Center Theater, in London’s West End and at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre. Future productions of WAR HORSE are planned for Australia, Berlin and South Africa, as well as a UK Tour. The lead producers of the National Tour of WAR HORSE are Bob Boyett and the National Theatre of Great Brit-ain. For more information, please visit warhorseonstage.com.

Lincoln Center Theater and the National Theatre of Great Britain in association with Bob Boyett and War Horse LP, are the producers of the American premiere of WAR HORSE, which opened in Spring 2011 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater where it is currently playing an open-ended run. Segerstrom Center for the Arts applauds Rutan & Tucker, LLP for its support of WAR HORSE. Cox Media is the Media Partner of the Broadway and Curtain Call Series. Acura is the Official Automotive Sponsor of the Center.

The Marriott Newport Beach Hotel and Spa was the place to be for the movers and shakers of Orange County as Goodwill hosted its seventh annual Working for Independence Fundrais-ing Luncheon. President and CEO of Goodwill of Orange County, Frank Talarico, Jr., helped deliver an inspiring message to 200 local business and community leaders in a fast-paced and compelling hour-long event. The event garnered more than $225,000 in financial support with pledges still coming in daily, committed to sustaining Goodwill’s mission.

“This event illustrates how the power of work can truly change lives through powerful personal stories of facing and managing barriers to employment with the help of Goodwill,” said Talarico. “I am humbled to witness Goodwill’s growth throughout the community as well as the outpouring of support from advocates, donors and local busi-nesses. Two hundred local companies hire Goodwill-trained workers or utilize our business services. This speaks vol-umes about Goodwill and the trust they have earned from so many forward-thinking companies who realize the value that comes from helping people get and keep jobs.”

Throughout the hour-long event, a number of emotional stories were shared by Goodwill alumni and local leaders. Marna, a member of the Good-will Fitness Center , also a talented singer, talked about the support she receives in facing her barriers as some-one who uses a wheelchair belted out a moving rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Betty Appleton Disneyland Resorts’ Guest Claims, Workers’ Com-pensation Director & Chief Champion of CastABLES (Guests with Disabilities), and also a new member of Goodwill’s Board of Directors, shared her personal connection to Goodwill’s cause in help-ing people facing disabilities. Nancy Chavez, First Vice President and Sr. Operations Manager with Alliant Insur-ance spoke passionately about the team of Goodwill-trained workers that has helped to shape a stronger cor-porate culture while performing critical tasks to their operations.

Talarico noted that the essence of Goodwill is revealed by telling inspir-ing stories that show the impact of Goodwill’s services, and what that impact means for individuals. “While the scope and reach of Goodwill is certainly memorable, what matters most are the people we serve and the people

who work alongside them, working together toward a common goal. They are people just like you and me. People who dream of a better life and strive to be the best they can be,” said Talarico.

During the event, a special leader-ship challenge gift was announced by former Goodwill Board Chair, Michael Valentine that was made on behalf of several of Orange County ’s phil-anthropic families. Prior to the event start, the families raised over $95,000 with the goal of doubling that during the event to help even more people experi-ence new beginnings.

Now in its 88th year, Goodwill of Orange County is in the business of helping people who are facing barriers to get and keep jobs while finding pur-pose, pride and dignity. Founded on the belief that every person should have the opportunity to achieve independence through the power of work, Goodwill

is most famous for its donated goods thrift store model where much of the revenue is generated to fund mission services. Goodwill maintains leader-ship in creating and providing quality training and employment services to empower individuals to be productive and independent. These programs and services offer added appeal since providing these tools to reach economic independence places fewer demands on public resources. As an integral part of the community safety net Goodwill has committed to doubling the number of people it serves to close the gap on unemployment among the region’s most underserved individuals. The or-ganization has consistently received a four-star rating, based on organizational efficiency and organizational capacity from Charity Navigator and in 2012, Goodwill was named one of Orange County ’s Most Trusted Brands.

story and Photos By: steve wylieAfter the Eagles of Santa Margarita

Catholic High School suffered their first loss to rival Mater Dei two weeks ago, the Monarchs’ coach questioned whether the Eagles could deal with adversity. The Eagles answered that question affirmatively with a 17-14 victory over Orange Lutheran at Orange Coast College.

The win enabled Coach Harry Welch to notch his 250th career vic-tory, becoming the second fastest to reach this milestone.

Bringing identical 6-1 records into the game, both teams battled hard during the first half, which ended in a scoreless tie. But the Eagles struck paydirt with 6:40 remaining in the third quarter, as quarterback Kyle Sweet hit River Cracraft with a touchdown strike

from 19 yards out. Sweet turned in a solid performance at quarterback, completing nine of eleven passes for 129 yards, with no interceptions.

Two plays later, the Eagles forced an Orange Lutheran fumble, recov-ered by linebacker Grady Higgins. That set up a two yard dive to the end zone by RJ Mazolewski. Suddenly, just one minute after their first score, the Eagles were up 14-0.

Not to be outdone, the fourth quar-ter appeared to belong to Orange Lutheran. Sporting the triple option offense, the Lancers scored first on a seven yard run by Tylen Drake, and quarterback J.D. Pickell ran another one in from four yards out to tie the score with 3:19 remaining.

With the score tied and momentum apparently swinging in favor of the

Lancers, the Eagles refused to fold. Kyle Sweet found River Cracraft in the secondary, and Cracraft rumbled for a 54-yard gain, setting up what would be the Eagles’ final scoring drive of the night. Cracraft ended the night with five receptions for 93 yards and one touchdown.

Marching smartly downfield, the Eagles relied on running back Dun-can Hume (who had 17 carries for 81 yards) to pound the ball westward to the goal. But the drive stalled at the Lancers’ four yard line. Coach Harry Welch sent in Alex Ury to attempt a game winning field goal with 37 seconds left. Ury’s aim was true, and the kick split the uprights, giving the Eagles a 17-14 lead.

But the Lancers weren’t quite done yet. Two crisp passes brought

the Lancers to midfield as the clock wound down. But River Cracraft intercepted Pickell’s next pass at the Eagle 23 yard line, ending the Lanc-ers’ final drive and sealing the Eagle victory.

With just two weeks remaining in the Trinity League schedule, the Eagles are still in the hunt for a playoff berth. St. John Bosco defeated Mater Dei on the same night to claim sole possession of first place in the Trinity League.

Tonight, the Eagles host 5-3 (0-3 in League play) JSerra at Saddle-back College. It is Santa Margarita’s homecoming game, and the Eagles will be looking for a win over the Lions, who were blanked by Servite last week 28-0.
