DENTAL PATIENTS DRIVE TWO HOURS FROM VICTORVILLE TO SEE LADERA RANCH PAIN-FREE

DENTIST DR. MICHAEL TESSIERRecently, a mother called Dr. Michael Tessier’s of-fice to arrange an appointment for her fifteen-year-old daughter who is deathly afraid of shots in her mouth. Only one thing was unusual. They live in Victorville, about two hours away. But the long hot drive was certainly worth it to mom, if her daughter could have painless, shot-free dental work.“I visited Dr.Tessier several years ago before we moved to Victorville” said the child’s mother. “But when I took my fifteen year old daughter to a local

dentist out there, she screamed in pain and raised such a fuss and refused to ever go back. I thought she would change her mind, but she would not. Finally, I told her I knew of one dentist that was gentle and pain free but it was a long trip from Victorville to Ladera Ranch. At last she agreed to go”, she said.When they arrived for their appointment with Dr. Tessier, the young girl was crying, sobbing, and shaking, barely in control. Dr. Tessier said; “It took about thirty minutes for her mother and my staff to get her calmed down enough to get her dental work started”, he said, “Very soon using the Whisper Jet, a micro miniature sandblaster using 50 micron-size particles of aluminum oxide, and the Waterlase MD Laser, we got this young lady’s two fillings completed without anesthetic, and with no pain, because of today’s technol-ogy. 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 car-bide burr were our only cutting options, we made it more likely that, in their later adulthood, these teeth would crack, ultimately needing crowns. Today, we’re leaving these teeth stronger. This stuff is great. So from now on, noth-ing will be difficult for her, except perhaps the ride from Victorville,” he said 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

Community members can drive a submersible vehicle, fire a cannon, and launch a paper rocket at the Earth Day celebration taking place at Newhart Middle School on Friday, April 20.

Parents, teachers, and community partners will offer a variety of hands-on science experiences and activities at the school’s second annual Earth Day celebration. The event begins at 5 p.m. at Newhart Middle School, located at 25001 Veterans Way in Mission Viejo.

“This will be a fun, educational event, but I am just as excited about the opportunities our partnerships have created for our students to be ex-posed to STEM-related fields,” Board President Dr. Gary Pritchard said. “It is no secret that we need to better prepare our students for college and career by exposing them to rigorous

and relevant educational opportunities. While Earth Day brings awareness to environmental issues, we hope that it can also spark an interest in the sci-ence and technology that our students can use to better understand and preserve the earth.”

Partners include Eco-Stride, The Surfrider Foundation, Savannah’s Organic Garden, the Ocean Institute, The CARE Foundation, Cox Com-munications, SDG&E, Moulton Niguel Water, AQMD, Mission Landscape, LSA, Soka University, Streeter Civil Engineering, Wyland, and the Mission Viejo City Council.

The Earth Day celebration will also illustrate the school’s emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Among the activities will be a virtual field trip in which a Newhart science

teacher will teach a lesson via remote broadcast from Oso Creek; a tour and exhibition of an alternative fuel vehicle; and a bevy of games, food and silent auction. In addition, partners will offer a variety of exhibitions and demon-strations of science and technology in action.

“This is a great event for our stu-dents and our community,” Principal Jeff Jones said. “Our partners are offering an educational, yet fun experi-ence that the whole family can enjoy. I hope members of the Mission Viejo community take this opportunity to see the kind of practical experience and knowledge our students have gained through the support of our great partners.”

Proceeds from the event will benefit Newhart’s technology initiative and the Surfrider Foundation.

By David WhiteOn April 17, wine enthusiasts

across the globe gathered to cele-brate World Malbec Day. For novices and oenophiles alike, the celebration was a great opportunity to sample some of Argentina’s flagship varietal.

Although Malbec is stunningly popular, few Americans knew any-thing about the grape just ten years ago. Thank goodness it made its way North -- today, Malbec represents a great value for those in search of a bold-yet-approachable reds.

World Malbec Day was created by Wines of Argentina to commemo-rate the day in 1853 when Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, an Argentinean political leader, asked his government to spend money on the nation’s agri-culture industry.

Wine grapes had been growing in Argentina since the 1500s, when Spain colonized the Americas. But the wine industry remained unde-veloped. So after lawmakers signed off on Sarmiento’s proposal, Michel Aime Pouget, a well-known French agriculture scientist, was asked to bring over grapevines from France.

Pouget transported many different grapes, but Malbec -- a thin-skinned variety that often failed to ripen in France -- was the most successful,

benefitting tremendously from the hot, dry climate of Argentina’s Mendoza region.

In the ensuing years, Malbec would have many ups and downs. For most of the 20th century, growers were more interested in quantity than quality, primarily producing jug wine for local consumption. And during Argentina’s economic nightmare of the 1980s, the entire industry almost collapsed.

Fortunately, ambitious producers recognized the importance of exports in the 1990s, so started focusing on quality wine production. Argentina’s wines soon garnered international acclaim, and Malbec’s popularity exploded.

Today, America has what appears to be an unquenching thirst for Argen-tinean wine. Between 2007 and 2011, shipments of wine from Argentina to the United States more than doubled, from 3.3 million cases to 7.1 million cases. And demand shows little sign of slowing. From 2010 to 2011, ac-cording to Nielsen, Malbec sales in the United States increased by a whopping 49 percent.

Malbec’s rise can be attributed to many factors. But most importantly, as New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov has written, “it’s the right

sort of wine at the right k i n d o f price.”

M o s t M a l b e c s a re e as -ily enjoyed. T h e y ’ r e approach-able when young, and marked by straightfor-ward f la-vors that everyone enjoys -- like ripe, dark fruit, fresh wild herbs, and sweet spices. Thanks to good acidity, most Malbecs are also exceptionally juicy, so work well with food. Best of all, Malbec is a great value. Plenty of good options are available for less than $20 per bottle.

When looking for affordable wines, producers like Bodega Catena Za-pata, Trapiche, Altos Las Hormigas, and Crios de Susana Balbo rarely disappoint. At a recent tasting of Malbecs, I was most impressed with the offerings from Bodega Colomé, which is part of the U.S.-based Hess Family Estates, Clos de los Siete, and Graffigna. When I’m looking to

splurge, the wines from O. Fournier and Achaval Ferrer always impress. All these brands are widely available.

Malbec is one of my favorite sum-mertime reds, especially when served slightly chilled. Argentina has the highest beef consumption per capita, so it’s no surprise that the wine works perfectly with grilled steak and other meats. So next time you fire up the barbecue, pick up some Malbec!

Ooh-la-la, it’s “La Fête du siècle” (“the party of the century”) when Pa-cific Symphony’s 2012 gala whisks guests back in time to La Belle Époque, a joyous time in cultural history—turn-of-the-century France. The sensuous and gregarious excite-ment of the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergère abounds, as the evening of music, dancing and French-influ-enced cuisine takes place Saturday, May 19, at 5:30 p.m., at the Hyatt Regency Irvine at Jamboree Center. Inspired by the Symphony’s first con-cert opera, Puccini’s “La Bohème,” taking place in April, the Board of Directors invites patrons to revel in the joie de vivre, as they stroll through a snow-covered Parisian marketplace to find famous Bohemian artists Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec ready to paint their portraits, a Cirque d’Hiver (“Winter Circus”), can-can dancers, a champagne fountain and more 1890s surprises during the colorful cocktail reception.

Guests are then ushered into the grand ballroom for a gourmet feast and cabaret show performed by danc-ers from UC Irvine’s Department of Dance. Also, special guest soprano Valentina Fleer sings Musetta’s Waltz from “La Bohème,” accompanied by pianist David Clemenson. The eve-

ning culminates with a thrilling live auction, and guests dance the night away to the tunes of the J.T. (John Tu from Kingston Technology) and Cali-fornia Dreamin’ band. Valet service is hosted and attire is black tie or 1890s Parisian evening attire. Tables for the gala are $15,000-$100,000; individual tickets are $1,000. Repondez s’il vous plait (RSVP) by Monday, May 7, to Ricki Shab at (714) 876-2364 or [email protected].

Always a spectacular and unique experience, the annual gala is the Symphony’s largest fund-raiser of the year and raised about $1 million last year in support of the Symphony’s award-winning artistic and education programs. Chairing the gala for the first time is a trio of Symphony sup-porters: Vivian McCluney, Hope Miller and Pat Poss, who have helped fabri-cate this turn-of-the-century fantasy.

“For me, Pacific Symphony’s annu-al gala has always been the highlight of the Orange County calendar,” says co-chair Miller. “But most importantly, it is the cornerstone for fund raising for the many, life-enriching music programs of the Symphony. This year, we are creating a feeling of conviviality, romance and pleasure, as we transport guests back to late 19th- century Paris through French

ambience, entertainment, food and dance. What could be better!?”

C ’ e s t m a g n i f i q u e ! Guests arrive in “the city of lights” in mid-winter and are greeted with a can-can line as they walk through the glistening streets of Paris, looking out for ec-centric Bohemians and circus acts and finding the famous and luxurious Maxim’s restaurant. After enjoying the delicacies of a Boulangerie, a French patisserie, a crepe station, fresh roasted chestnuts and a champagne foun-tain, guests are ushered into the grand ballroom—now transformed into a French cabaret—for a sumptuous dinner planned by the Hyatt’s Executive Chef Greg Grohowski. Returning for the second year, J.T. and California Dreamin’ provide entertainment throughout the evening with a full string section, brass, woodwinds, keyboard, percus-sion and myriad singers, filling the ballroom with dance music from the 1960s to the present (all underwritten for the Symphony’s gala).

“Dinner will be a gastronomic de-light of classic French cuisine, served in a sumptuous turn-of-the-century ballroom, with entertainment provided by dancers from the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergère,” says co-chair McCluney. “The evening has all the spectacle and excitement of a 19th-century winter circus!”

choc follies Xv nets More thAn $500K for choc

It was another successful production where more than 2,300 people en-joyed laughter, song and dance at the CHOC Follies XV, held at the Robert B. Moore Theatre in Costa Mesa. The original musical production of “Christina and the Crystal Ball, a Cinderella Story for the Social Net Set” musical was a hilarious spoof on the classic fairy tale with a modern online twist, generously sponsored by XCARET Family Foundation.

Over the past 15 years, more than 1,000 cast members have entertained folks in 60 performances of the Follies (I being one of them for 9 of those years!); netting almost $6 million for CHOC Children’s.

Gloria Zigner, Founder and Executive Producer of The Follies, said, “It’s hard to describe the magic and the spirit surrounding the Follies. Every year, we start with a kernel of an idea, and before we know it, it takes root and grows into the amazing productions you see ‐ thanks to the unbridled creativity and focus of our wonderful production team, and the hard work and determination of our dedicated cast members. I am truly grateful to all of them, and also to the ongoing commitment of the wonderful sponsors in our community who make the CHOC Follies possible each year.”

Along with the XCARET Family Foundation, other major sponsors included The Crean Foundation, Sandy and John Daniels, Gemini Resources ‐Ma-rybelle and Sebastian Paul Musco, Argyros Family Foundation and Sally Segerstrom.

The Follies production team includes Associate Producer Lois Augustine, Director John Vaughan, Music Director Doug Austin, and Choreographer Lee Martino, all who have been with The Follies since its inception. Co‐chairs for the event were Leslie Cancellieri, Sandy Segerstrom Daniels and Dale Skiles; they also played the “Hamm Sisters” (the co-chairs of the “Crystal Ball” in The Follies).

This year’s cast featured Broadway veteran April Malina in the lead role of “Christina.” Malina’s past credits include the international Broadway tour-ing productions of “Miss Saigon” and “Hair,” and a voice over repertoire in commercials, movies and television shows. CHOC Follies newcomer, Jarred Barnard, played her handsome prince. On air reporter for KCBS‐KCAL TV Michele Gile hammed it up in the role of celebrity “J-Lo” and a “Hollywood” reporter interviewing Lady Gaga who was played by former Rockette Juliet Fisher-Schulein (she also played the evil Stepmother of Christina).

Others who had noteworthy performances were Mark Pilon as “Jeepers”, the “Fairy Secretarie D’Amour”; Louis Berlin, the “Fairy Godfather” and Mia Maffei as the “Fairy Godmother”; Barbara Attell played “Dr. Laura Killjoy” (the therapist for Romantics’ Anonymous). Temere Vouga was “Queen Isabella of Leon” while Dr. Mary Pham had the roll of “Tinkerbell”. There are many more to mention, but all 100 of them gave their donation of time for the best performance. In addition they also raised minimum of $1,000 each for CHOC Children’s.

Of special note, kudos go to those performers who have been with The Follies since the beginning. They are: Pat Haslam, “Skipper” Tim Bercovitz, Mia Maffei, Diane Mondini and Leslie Cancellieri as well as set designer Bob Mumm, Costume Designer Lynda Krinke and her mom Renee Blais, assistant costume designer.

“On behalf of CHOC Children’s, I extend my deepest gratitude to Gloria, to the cast and crew, and to the sponsors and guests of ‘Christina and the Crystal Ball,’” said Graig Eastin, vice president, CHOC Children’s Foundation. “The support we receive each year from the CHOC Follies is invaluable in helping us achieve our mission and vision.”

This year’s proceeds will support the construction of The Voice™, an interactive broadcast multimedia center that provides patients with an outlet

to engage in creative activities related to broadcast media. The Voice™, a project of the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, is scheduled to open next year in the hospital’s new seven‐story patient care tower.

For more information about The Choc Follies, visit www.ChocFollies.org. Zigner is now hard at work recruiting for next year’s Follies, for those inter-ested in performing, sponsoring or participating in some way, contact Lois Augustine at The CHOC Children’s Foundation at (714) 532-8690.

The 2012 NBFF will host red carpet Opening and Closing Night Gala Celebrations, International Spotlight events, an Action Sports Film Series, an Environmental Film Series, a Family Film Series, a Colle-giate Showcase, a Youth Film Show-case and a free Seminar Series. The Festival runs April 26-May 3, 2012.

Now in its thirteenth year the New-port Beach Film Festival features nightly special events including: red carpet galas, filmmaker receptions, compelling filmmaker Q & A sessions, international spotlights, industry semi-nars and retrospectives. In addition, the Festival hosts numerous oppor-tunities to connect with enthusiastic new audiences, fellow filmmakers, film industry professionals and the media in a beautiful seaside location in Orange County, California (only 55 miles south of Hollywood).

Some participating films...

HIGH GROUND HIGH GROUND is a gripping,

inspiring documentary feature that follows a group of returning male and female Iraq and Afghanistan war vet-erans and a Gold Star Mom as they

prepare for and embark on a heart-stopping climb up the 20,000 foot Hi-malayan Mount Lobuche. With blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer and a team of Everest summiters as their guides, they set out on an emotional and gripping climb to reach the top in an attempt to heal the emotional and physical wounds of the longest war in U.S. history.

The film is visually breathtaking while it simultaneously sheds crucial light on the difficulties our returning war veterans face in their attempts to readjust to civilian life, and how participating in extreme physical and emotional challenges helps in their efforts to achieve a comparable

sense of accomplishment and brav-ery to which they are accustomed. Directed by Michael Brown, produced by Brown and Don Hahn.

HIGH GROUND will screen at the Newport Beach Film Festival on Sunday, April 29 - 6:00 pm - Triangle Square Cinemas.

A JOURNEY WITH PURPOSE,”

OFFICIAL NEWPORT BEACH FILM FESTIVAL SELECTION, TO SCREEN MONDAY, APRIL 30 IN COSTA MESA

Documentary short film as told by a 13-year old boy reflecting on a journey back to Auschwitz with his grandfather, a Holocaust survivor,

on an experience that changes them both forever

The film began as a simple fam-ily record of their deeply personal journey and has evolved into a film that will likely inspire a new generation to learn and appreciate their own history and carry on the legacy to never forget.

No Room For Rock Stars With more than 300 hours of

film shot during the 2010 tour, No Room For Rock Stars documents the true stories of modern era rock and roll from every possible angle. From the kids in the van playing parking lots to gain notice, to the veteran stage manager whose life was saved by the tour, to the musician who crosses over to mainstream success while on the road, No Room For Rock Stars is Cinema Vèritè story-telling at its finest. A historical retrospective or

concert film this is not. No Room For Rock Stars is meaningful insight into current state of rock and roll and the zeitgeist of youth culture. May 1, 2012 at 7:45pm.

Surf The Wild EastWORLDS FIRST SURF MOVIE

PARTLY FUNDED BY CROWD FUNDING @ NEWPORT BEACH FILM FESTIVAL 2012

On September 26 2011, the Blickinsfreie team (www.blickins-freie.de) together with professional surfers Ian Walsh, Gary Saavedra and Perth Standlick went on a three-week adventure through the Caucasus Eurasia with a mission to surf the Black Sea as well as Caspian Sea just north of Baku, Azerbaijan. Fusing the intentions to expose new surf territory with a fever for adventure and foreign land, our mission was to deliver a compelling story to an audience of core surf enthusiasts on a global level.

It all started when a group of us discovered a surf scene along the Black Sea in Bulgaria. Local surf-ers shared their idea of searching along the Black Sea for uncharted surf terr i tory and together we formed an international crew of surfers to write, film and photo-graph our travels as we discover

and explore the Wild East.

And as we began to map out our trip, we brainstormed for ideas on a possible route. We found surf spots in both the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, and our goal was to complete a 3000km journey to Baku, Azerbaijan, where we can surf and document waves never before shown.

DREAMWORLD Oliver Hayes, an aspiring anima-

tor whose confidence is at a low point, meets the captivating and impulsive Lily Blush, who encour-ages him to drop everything and go with her to Northern California in the hopes of fulfilling his fantasy of working for Pixar Animation Stu-dios. As they travel up the coast, Oliver falls deeply in love, but upon making certain startling discover-ies, he must decide if he wants to face reality or stay in dreamworld.

The Philharmonic Society of Orange County presents guitarist Pepe Romero and the Los Ange-les Philharmonic, led by Musical America’s 2011 Conductor of the Year Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos on Saturday, April 28, 2012, 8pm at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. On its annual jaunt to Orange County, the Los Angeles Philharmonic performs TURINA: Danzas Fantásticas, Op. 22, RO-DRIGO: Concierto de Aranjuez, and BRAHMS: Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73. A pre-concert lecture by Dr. John Koegel will take place at 7pm.

A regular guest with North Amer-ica’s top orchestras, Rafael Früh-beck de Burgos will conduct the Cincinnati, Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Montreal Symphony Orchestras in the 2011-12 season, and returns to the New York Phil-harmonic for the fourth time since 2005. He appears annually at the Tanglewood Music Festival and regularly with the National, Chicago and Toronto symphonies.

Born in Burgos, Spain in 1933, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos stud-ied violin, piano, music theory and composition at the conservatories in Bilbao and Madrid, and conducting at Munich’s Hochschule für Musik, where he graduated summa cum laude and was awarded the Richard Strauss Prize. From 2004-2011, he was Chief Conductor and Artistic Di-rector of the Dresden Philharmonic, and in the 2012-13 season begins his post as Chief Conductor of the Danish National Orchestra.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded by William Andrews Clark, Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur musician, who established the city’s first permanent sym-phony orchestra in 1919. Walter Henry Rothwell became its first Music Director, serving until 1927; since then, ten renowned conduc-tors have served in that capacity: Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-1929); Artur Rodzinski (1929-1933); Otto Klemperer (1933-1939); Alfred Wal-lenstein (1943-1956); Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959); Zubin Mehta (1962-1978); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984); André Previn (1985-

1989); Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009); and Gustavo Dudamel (2009-present).

In October 2003, the doors to one of the world’s most celebrated venues – the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall – were opened and the Los Angeles Philharmonic took the stage in its new home, which has become known not only as a local cultural landmark, but also as “…a sensational place to hear music... In richness of sound, it has few rivals on the international scene, and in terms of visual drama it may have no rival at all.” (The New Yorker) Praise for both the design and the acoustics of the Hall has been effusive, and the glistening curved steel exterior of the 293,000-square-foot Walt Disney Concert Hall embodies the energy, imagination, and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestr

By Senator Gaylord Nelson, Founder of Earth Day

What was the purpose of Earth Day? How did it start? These are the ques-tions I am most frequently asked.

Actually, the idea for Earth Day evolved over a period of seven years starting in 1962. For several years, it had been troubling me that the state of our environment was simply a non-issue in the politics of the country. Finally, in November 1962, an idea occurred to me that was, I thought, a virtual cinch to put the environment into the political “limelight” once and for all. The idea was to persuade President Kennedy to give visibility to this issue by going on a national conservation tour. I flew to Washington to discuss the proposal with Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who liked the idea. So did the President. The President began his five-day, eleven-state conservation tour in September 1963. For many reasons the tour did not succeed in putting the issue onto the national political agenda. However, it was the germ of the idea that ultimately flowered into Earth Day.

I continued to speak on environmen-tal issues to a variety of audiences in some twenty-five states. All across the country, evidence of environmental degradation was appearing every-where, and everyone noticed except

the political establishment. The envi-ronmental issue simply was not to be found on the nation’s political agenda. The people were concerned, but the politicians were not.

After President Kennedy’s tour, I still hoped for some idea that would thrust the environment into the politi-cal mainstream. Six years would pass before the idea that became Earth Day occurred to me while on a conservation speaking tour out West in the summer of 1969. At the time, anti-Vietnam War demonstrations, called “teach-ins,” had spread to college campuses all across the nation. Suddenly, the idea occurred to me - why not organize a huge grass-roots protest over what was happening to our environment?

I was satisfied that if we could tap into the environmental concerns of the general public and infuse the student anti-war energy into the environmental cause, we could generate a demon-stration that would force this issue onto the political agenda. It was a big gamble, but worth a try.

At a conference in Seattle in Septem-ber 1969, I announced that in the spring of 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on behalf of the environment and invited everyone to participate. The wire services car-ried the story from coast to coast. The

response was electric. It took off like gangbusters. Telegrams, letters, and telephone inquiries poured in from all across the country. The American people finally had a forum to express its concern about what was happening to the land, rivers, lakes, and air - and they did so with spectacular exuberance. For the next four months, two members of my Senate staff, Linda Billings and John Heritage, managed Earth Day affairs out of my Senate office.

Five months before Earth Day, on Sunday, November 30, 1969, The New York Times carried a lengthy article by Gladwin Hill reporting on the aston-ishing proliferation of environmental events:

“Rising concern about the environ-mental crisis is sweeping the nation’s campuses with an intensity that may be on its way to eclipsing student discon-tent over the war in Vietnam...a national day of observance of environmental problems...is being planned for next spring...when a nationwide environ-mental ‘teach-in’...coordinated from the office of Senator Gaylord Nelson is planned....”

It was obvious that we were headed for a spectacular success on Earth Day. It was also obvious that grassroots activities had ballooned beyond the ca-pacity of my U.S. Senate office staff to

keep up with the telephone calls, paper work, inquiries, etc. In mid-January, three months before Earth Day, John Gardner, Founder of Common Cause, provided temporary space for a Wash-ington, D.C. headquarters. I staffed the office with college students and selected Denis Hayes as coordinator of activities.

Earth Day worked because of the spontaneous response at the grass-roots level. We had neither the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators and the thousands of schools and local communities that participated. That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day. It organized itself.

The Pageant of the Masters is seeking male volunteers to participate in this year’s show, THE GENIUS. Men between the height of 5’5” and 6’4” are needed as cast members in the world’s most famous presentation of tableaux vivants (living pic-tures). No theater experience necessary. The only requirement is the ability to stand still and have fun!

THE GENIUS will explore the fascinating and unpredictable relationship between art and technol-ogy with an array of masterpieces brought to life in this summer’s Pageant of the Masters. From the glories of the Italian Renaissance to the deeply per-sonal imaginings of modern artists, THE GENIUS will fill the Irvine Bowl with breathtaking theatrical recreations of memorable artworks by extraordinary masters who have galvanized art history.

Volunteering for the Pageant is a great way to spend your summer and it is common to have sev-eral generations of the same family volunteering for different aspects of the show. By volunteering for the Pageant, students can earn credit towards com-munity service requirements. For more information on casting and volunteering with the Pageant of the Masters, call the Casting Office at (949) 494 - 3663.

The 2012 Pageant of the Masters, THE GENIUS, will be staged July 7 through August 31. Ticket pric-es start at $15. Tickets are on sale now by calling 1-800-487-3378 or online at www.PageantTickets.com. The Festival of Arts is a nonprofit organization whose proceeds go to support the arts.

Mission San Juan Capistrano sits atop 10 acres of lush gardens and cool fountains, cloistered by old adobe walls and offering visitors a reprieve from the sights and sounds of a busy world.

Each spring brings succulent gar-den highlights that include the golden California poppy, white, popcorn-sized flowers produced by the South African jade and blue hibiscus from the Tropics.

In the Mission¹s center courtyard there is a beautiful fountain from the 1920s with blooming calla lilies, color-ful koi fish, and the sound of trickling water. Well-tended roses, perennials, herbs, succulents, flowering shrubs and hollyhocks sit alongside the Mission’s multiple gardens, which also showcase the indigenous plants of California: cactus, chaparral, and scrub oak.

Visitors are welcome to take in the serenity and peace of the lush gardens, vine covered walls and archways, and the koi-filled fountains during the Mission’s normal hours of operation. Visitors can take a guided garden tour with the Mission’s Gardening Angels on Wednesdays at 10:15 a.m. or 10:45 a.m. and are included in the price of admission.
