A Clean, Upgraded Salon.

Fantastic Sams, the full service, family hair salon franchise, is having a Community Celebration and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at its salon here in RSM. The owners, Nelson Smith and Rosanne Hawxhurst, invite the com-munity to join them in celebrating three years of success. “We are so very grateful and proud to be part of RSM that we wanted to get to know the people in our community better, and what better way to do so than have a big gathering and to invite all of our friends, families and neighboring businesses,” Nelson states. The RSM Chamber of Commerce will have a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony take place at the event also. Ms America 2011, Tracy Broughton is one of two special guests making an appearance, the other special guest is young and talented singer/actress, Mary Desmond, a local resident, who will perform the Star Spangled Banner as a warm up to her upcoming performance at Angel Stadium. Their community partners and event sponsors, RSM Chamber of Com-merce, Pavilions, Cellular World, TOGO’s, Jamba Juice, Edible Arrange-ments, Lighter Than Air Balloons, BJ’s Restaurant, Wingstop, Sumits Yoga, El Pollo Loco, Coto De Caza News, Baskin Robbins, Romanos, Yogurtland, Pacific Coast Aquatics, Hanna’s Restaurant, United Studios of Self Defense, Timeless Treasures, Olivia’s Closet,and many many more are generously providing food, services and lots of great prizes that will be raffled at the event. It promises to be lot’s of fun, and with so many prizes to raffle off, there will be many winners. RSM Fantastic Sams will be offering specials and bundles of services that are deeply discounted that will be sold that day only. About the owners: Owner/stylist Rosanne, a stylist of 38 years with legions of devoted clients, recently celebrated her 25th year working for Fantastic Sams, the last 20 of them here in Rancho, where she has been making people happy since it opened in June of 1992. She took over the salon in late 2009, after a series of unforeseen events befell the previous owners, resulting in their literally dumping the business in her lap, something Rosanne neither anticipated nor desired. “I’ve never aspired to own a salon. My passion has always been styling hair”, she relates.

A general contractor with a success record for managing budgets, inventory, and customer service for 30 years, took the bull by the horns and immersed themselves in management courses offered by the parent company over the past two years. With the support, patience, and superb talent of their 9 employees and many loyal clients, they have turned what once was a poorly maintained and neglected business into a ‘Top Gun’, a term in the Fantastic Sams jargon that refers to high producing, clean, and well run salons in the So. California Region. A monthly secret shopper program consistently rates their guest satisfaction in the range of 98%. “It has been a steep learning curve, that is still ongoing”, says Nelson. “Service is what ultimately sets us apart from the competition.” Indeed. In addition to their friendly, talented stylists, they offer a complimentary warm and soothing towel service, fresh coffee and bottled water to their guests as a matter of course. Wi -Fi is now available. If you’d like to learn more about Fantastic Sams, Rancho Santa Margarita CA, Community Celebration and Ribbon Cutting, contact Nelson Smith and Rosanne Hawxhurst at the salon, located at: 22461 Antonio Pkwy A-155, Rancho Santa Margarita CA, 92688, or call 949.459.1934, or email them at: [email protected]. Fantastic Sams has been in operation for more than 38 years and is the world’s largest, full-service hair salon franchise brand with over 1,300 salons worldwide. The Fantastic Sams name is synonymous with quality, service and style, and our goal is to exceed our guests’ expectations, providing qual-ity hair care services for the entire family at a fantastic prices.

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

The Mission Viejo Community of Character Committee is seeking local talent of all types and ages to compete in the 3rd Annual “Mis-sion Viejo’s Got Talent” show in June.

The talent competition is a fundraiser for the committee’s Relay for Life “Goin’ Bananas for a Cure” team. Also dubbed “Per-formance with a Purpose,” the event gives community members an opportunity to take part in the 18th annual Mission Viejo Relay for Life weekend fundraiser that benefits the American Cancer Society. Auditions for the talent contest will be held on April 20 and 27.

The semi-finalists will appear at Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center for a presentation on May 18. A suggested $2 donation is asked of folks who attend. The winner will then be declared on June 3 before closing ceremonies at Relay for Life at Saddleback College.

The competition is open to all ages and has attracted auditions from ages 4 to 80. Last year’s final event dazzled a crowd of more than 300 people who voted for their favorite talent. The “Wildflowers” (Delia and Phoebe Carpenter) took the grand title and bragging rights.

For applications and more information, call Tammy Descoteaux at 949-470-3094 or [email protected].

“ There is more to being a hero than just wearing the hat”-John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Coming off a spectacular victory in Friday’s $10,000 1.35M Jumper Classic, presented by CardFlex, Michelle Parker swept up the competition again in Saturday’s $40,000 Blen-heim Spring Classic Grand Prix, presented by Summit General Insurance Agen-cy. With the stands filled, spring in the air and the sun shining, all eyes were on Parker as she guided her fearless 9 year old grey mare, Xel Ha to a double clean effort in a blazing 38.220.

A total of 31 horse and rider duos took on the chal-lenge today on the Blen-heim EquiSports’ Grand Prix grass field. The de-manding course, designed by Benjamin Fernandez (MEX), lead riders over a vertical-oxer double com-bination, an oxer-verticle-oxer triple combination, an optional water jump, and a finish over a wide liverpool oxer. Six riders were able to master the 1st round and qualify for the jump-off.

Josephina Nor Lantzman (BRA) and her trusted mount Chello Z had thefirst clear roundof the day and followed up with another flaw-less effort in the jump-off setting the bar in a time of 40.744. John Pearce (CAN) and Forest View Farm’s Chianto stood up to the chal-lenge and surpassed Nor’s time in 38.830. Michelle Parker then piloted

the 9-year-old Selle Francais mare, Xel Ha, owned by Tula Pinnella, to a quick and concise jump off, cut-ting corners and galloping between fences to stop the clock and take the lead in 38.220.

It came down to Parker’s second mount in the jump off to try and make it a 1-2 finish. Parker guided Cross Creek Farm’s Socrates De

Midos to a fault free jump-off, but stopped the clock in 39.908, good enough for 3rd. Seven of the eight riders were able to go clean in the jump-off, making it a very intense and exciting wrap up to the second week of the Blenheim Spring Clas-sic Series.

The Mission Viejo Animal Services Center has several adorable animals – like Gryffindor – ready for adoption.

Gryffindor is a large domestic short-haired brown tabby who is about 3 years old. He is such a handsome boy and is very friendly and playful, but he also likes his alone time. Gryffindor has been at the shelter for quite some time and has won over the hearts of the volunteers and staff. He can be picky when it comes to choosing his canine and feline friends, so he would prob-ably do best in a home with no other pets. Gryffindor will make an excellent addition to that special family. He is patiently waiting to meet you and find his forever home.

You can see this loving cat and the other adorable animals ready for adop-tion at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center at 28095 Hillcrest or online at www.cmvas.org. For more information, call 949-470-3045.

Mission Viejo resident Brian Littler created the artwork for Cal State Ful-lerton’s April 14 Social Justice Summit. He incorporated this year’s theme, “Unite to Rise Above Apathy,” in his artwork, which focuses on a human figure rising out and above a sea of ominous liquid.

The logo and details about the summit are posted here: http://cal-state.fullerton.edu/news/2012sp/Social-Justice-Summit.asp

“The liquid represents a veil of apathy that the figure has been liv-ing under,” explains Littler. “As the figure is rising, it is searching for ideas, people and answers it can trust.” The welcoming hand of the second figure, extending to help the figure rise, depicts that together, they are empowered and can cre-ate a strong and prosperous future for the world.

Littler is a graphic designer at an Irvine-based company and produc-es package designs for car detail products. He earned his bachelor of fine arts degree in art-graphic design at Cal State Fullerton.

Past Exalted Ruler (Lodge Presi-dent), Hal Mattson of Mission Viejo was the recipient of the 2011 – 2012 California, Hawaii Elks Association (CHEA) SPECIAL CITATION FOR EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE IN PUBLIC RELATIONS ACTIVITY. CHEA Public Relations Chairman Andy Costello presented the award, which honored Hal as the Leading Public Relations (PR) chairman in the 174 Lodges making up the California, Hawaii Elks Association. The prestigious award is presented to the PR Chairman generating the greatest amount of publicity and the highest number of articles published for the year. In presenting the award, association chairman Costello said, “Hal agreed to devote a little of his very limited spare time to helping with the Mission Viejo Lodge’s publicity program. He not only helped, but he shattered ev-ery publicity record for the Lodge, for the District and for the entire California, Hawaii Association. The members of the Lodge can be proud of his out-standing accomplishment.”

Since his year as Exalted Ruler in 2007 - 2008, Hal Mattson has served on the Lodge House Committee, participated in the Third Grade Dictionary distributions, and been an active

member of the PER Association. He was named the Lodge Citizen of the Year in 2010 -2011. He is currently serving as the Elks Training Chair-man for the Orange Coast District’s ten Lodges. When he is not busy with all of that, Hal can be found in the kitchen of the Elks Lodge, working on the second Friday night cooking crew.

Above all his other accomplishments, PER Hal Mattson’s outstanding work in publicizing the benevolent work of the Mission Viejo, Saddle-back Valley Elks, has played a significant role in elevating the local Elks Lodge to a position of respect and honor in the Saddleback Valley community.

The 5th annual “Dancing for Tomorrow’s Stars” hosted by the Assistance League of Newport-Mesa held with at the City National Grove in Anaheim was a star studded success. With over 350 in attendance, the crowd was treated to a celebrity style red carpet entry with lots of bling!

Returning as emcees, Mindy Sterns who wowed the crowd in 2010 as the Best Female Dancer and Fan Favorite in 2009 along with George Pennacchio of ABC7’s Eyewitness News; they kept the audience on their toes.

Opening remarks from League President, Judy Weightman, acknowledged her committee and co-chairs and Honorary Chairperson of the event and Best Male Dancer for 2010, Jim McAleer shared passionate accolades about the programs of Assistance League and congratulated them on their service to the Newport-Mesa community.

After the red carpet arrival, folks were called into the ballroom where they sat for an exquisite dinner starting with a baby spinach salad with baby greens, cranberries, goat cheese, fried shallots served with balsamic vinaigrette. Entrees served were a delectable petite filet with a vegetable wellington with sun-dried to-mato vinaigrette, rosemary garlic jus and mushroom risotto. Everyone salivated on the desserts as the choices between bittersweet Chocolate Pot de Crème, Lemon Curd Tart with an almond Frangipani and Crème Fraiche were hard to choose.

Kicking off the evening was Jim and Jill Ayres, event chairperson and celebrity dancer of 2010, performing an exquisite encore dance performance.

Community “stars” and their professional dancers were: Adam S. Aldrich and dancer, Natalie Schultz, Sara Guggenheim Jarrett and dancer, Eddie Alba, Ashley Hickson and dancer, Slawek Roszak, Brett Lawrence and dancer, Melaina Larson, Heidi Miller and dancer, Eric Turcio, Mike Sanchez and dancer, Alessia Minaevaa.

A few performances that stood out were Sara and Eddie’s hot Tango to the song, “Don’t Stop Believing”; Adam and Natalie’s sexy Rumba which garnered a perfect 10 from all three judges; and Ashley and Slawek’s fiery Tango with her red cut out dress almost set fire to the stage. Heidi looked stunning dancing the disco swing putting an elegant touch to her moves while Brett was smokin’ hot and the ladies loved him when he strutted his stuff on his Country Swing, while Michael and Alessia wowed the crowd with a sultry samba.

The evening’s top accolades went to Brent Lawrence, “Best Male Dancer” and Sarah Guggenheim Jarrett, “Best Female Dancer”, as well as, “Fan Favorite,” bringing in the greatest amount of community votes/donations. Ashley Hickson, shining in a bright yellow gown, received the “Most Sparkly” and Heidi Miller’s glamorous performance received the “Most Elegant”.

The judges were Christina Lyon, a professional dancer, entrepreneur David MacInnis and American sports agent and sports lawyer, Leigh Steinberg. They were quick with their paddles and their wit judging the competition, always giving a honest but cheerful assess-ment of each performance.

Lula Halfacre of Traditional Jewel-ers, Newport Beach graciously returned again this year to provide and present a beautiful Baccarat crystal piece to the overall winning couple.

Spotted in the audience was George and, 2008 Best Female Dancer, Julia Argyros, Janet and Don Ayres, Jr., Mindy and Glenn Stearns, 2010 Best Female Dancer, Jeannie Lawrence,

Event Chair Lula Halfacre with Jill Ayres and President Judy Weightman

Rob Sheveland is the Athletes Choice Coach of the Month. He was nominated by Julie Row-land. They first met Rob as the PE teacher at their daughters’ school. The Rowland’s were so im-pressed with Rob that they asked if he would be interested in teach-ing private tennis lessons to their girls. Rob has an amazing ability to teach children. All three of their girls look forward to PE days at school and he has connected with the girls in a way that makes exer-cising fun! The Rowland girls are always excited to share what was taught at school PE and after their tennis lessons. Rob Sheveland is extremely energetic, talented, fun, trust worthy and responsible (and very deserving of a nomination!). Thank you Rob, for caring about the youth in Orange County and congratulations!!

April 13, 2012

Mission Hospital recently became the first hospital in Orange County to successfully use a stroke revascu-larization device to remove a blood clot from a patient’s brain. Since the initial procedure, the hospital has successfully used the device on two additional patients. The Solitaire FR, the device used in the procedures, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 5, 2012, and has the capability of improving stroke outcomes by more effectively extracting clots in a more precise and timely manner.

Paul Tyson, one of the first patients to benefit from this new procedure, was deeply concerned after awaking to find he was unable to get out of bed and having difficulties even calling his wife’s name for help. His wife, Cheryl Tyson, quickly realized Paul was showing signs of a stroke and called the ambulance to take him to Mission Hospital, which had started using the Solitaire device just days before. “I think it’s wonderful that Mission Hos-pital had this procedure available to us,” Cheryl said, “God had a hand in getting us to the right place.”

Although Paul had virtually no movement on his left side when he was taken to the hospital, after the procedure, which took less than an hour, he was moving his left arm by lunch-time. The day after the proce-

dure, Paul was already up and walk-ing around with his nurses. “I could have been hurt bad,” Paul said, “but I’m feeling pretty normal now.”

Todd Lempert, M.D., who per-formed the procedures, said that the stroke intervention team at Mis-sion Hospital was excited to have this next-generation clot retriever available after the device got FDA approval in early March. “To be the first hospital in Orange County to successfully use this device is a great accomplishment for our team and ex-emplifies our goal of working together to achieve excellence.”

Time is of the essence with the treatment of stroke, especially an ischemic stroke, when a blood ves-sel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot. Because these blockages prohibit the brain from receiving the nutri-ents it needs, neurons begin to die. While prior clot removal procedures could take up to two to three hours, the three recent cases at Mission Hospital were performed in about 30 minutes. Mission Hospital sees hun-dreds of patients each year that could benefit from the use of the Solitaire FR device, and for patients like Paul Tyson, this new device could have life-saving benefits.

“The time saved using this device is crucial for a stroke patient,” said

Farzard Massoudi, M.D., medical director of the Neuroscience and Spine Institute at Mission Hospital. “It restores blood flow and essential nutrients to the patient’s brain quicker, which significantly improves the likeli-hood of a positive outcome.”

According to the American Heart Association, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. and a leading cause of long-term disability. “This is good news for the approximately 700,000 people each year in the U.S. who suffer an acute ischemic stroke,” said Stacy Enxing Seng, president, vascular therapies at Covidien, which manufactures the device. “Solitaire FR provides physi-cians with another important tool for treating this potentially fatal and often debilitating condition.”

“We’re one of the few centers in Orange County that has this range in capability,” said Dr. Lempert. “We’re able to handle all levels of complexity when it comes to stroke care – espe-cially with this new tool.”

Mission Hospital, part of St. Joseph Health System, offers the region’s most comprehensive neurological and stroke care and was named a Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission. Mission Hospital is also an Orange County Emergency Medi-cal Services designated Stroke-Neu-rology Receiving Center, and the only

one providing advanced neurologic care for stroke. For more information, visit www.mission4health.com.

Mission Hospital provides south Orange County communities with access to advanced care and ad-vanced caring through two conve-nient locations. Mission Hospital has been serving the greater needs of the community for nearly 40 years, improving the quality of life in the communities it serves. Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, the region’s only designated trauma center, offers 24-hour emergency care and specialized services for imaging, heart, stroke, maternity, and women’s wellness needs. Mis-sion Hospital Laguna Beach offers 24-hour emergency, intensive and medical-surgical care as well as the South County’s only behavioral health services including hospital-based chemical and pain medica-tion dependency treatment. CHOC Children’s at Mission Hospital, located on the fifth floor of Tower 1, is the only dedicated pediatric hos-pital in Orange County. A member of the St. Joseph Health System, Mission Hospital is one of 14 not-for-profit hospitals sponsored by the St. Joseph Health Ministry. For more information, visit mis-sion4health.com.

By Rebecca BardelliMany Americans suffer with back

pain. In fact, 80 percent of Americans experience it at some point in time. There are health problems that can cause this, including arthritis. A lot of people use medication to alleviate the pain, but there are yoga poses (asanas) that can also help reduce the pain. Yoga can be used in con-junction with medicine to beat back aches. Try these top five yoga poses to alleviate back pain.

#1 Cow Pose (Bitilasana)Begin your workout with the cow

pose for a wonderful way to warm-up the spine. This asana will also provide an excellent massage to the spine and abdominal organs. It is important to note that those with injuries to the neck should keep their head aligned

with their torso when performing the cow pose.

#2 Cat Pose (Marjaryasana)When looking for an asana that will

give the spine a soft massage, try the cat pose. This pose also elongates the back of the trunk and abdominal

organs. The child’s pose helps pre-pare the body for the cat pose, so you may want to begin with child’s pose and ease your way into cat.

#3 Reclining Big Toe Pose (Supta Padangusthasana)

The reclining big toe pose allevi-ates back pain while providing a great stretch to the hips and the back of the legs. This asana also diminishes menstrual pain and sciatica. If you are feeling stiff, try performing this asana

with the heel of the leg on the ground against a wall. For the maximum benefits and for balance, be sure to stretch both the left and right leg.

#4 Plow Pose (Halasana)The plow pose can reduce back

pain. In addition, it can reduce head-aches and help with infertility, insom-nia and inflamed nasal sinuses.

Women who are pregnant should not practice the plow pose if it is new to them, but if they were already performing this asana be-fore pregnancy they can continue to do so.

#5 Bharadvaja’s Twist (Bharad-vajasana I)

Bharadvaja’s twist is medicinal to the spine and belly organs, and it alleviates pain in the lower back and the neck. This asana is exception-ally great for pregnant women during their second trimester because it

makes the lower back stronger. When performing this pose, remember to twist to both the left and right sides.

Rather you experience lower, middle or upper back pain, give the top five yoga poses for back pain a try. These poses will beat stress and reduce back aches at the same time.

Qzina Specialty Foods, the pre-mier importer and distributor of spe-cialty chocolate, pastry and dessert ingredients in North America, today announced the grand opening of the Qzina Institute of Chocolate & Pastry. Located in Irvine, California, the Qzina Institute is a world-class training and R&D facility designed for chocolatiers and pastry chefs. The institute’s opening was planned in conjunction with Qzina’s 30th anniversary and marks a significant milestone for the company.

Pioneered by Qzina Founder and CEO, Richard Foley, the new $3.5 million institute will make Southern California a premier destination for chefs and food enthusiasts alike who are looking to expand upon their dessert and pastry skills and explore new techniques in quality chocolate and pastry making.

The Qzina Insti tute features a state-of-the-art demonstration auditorium with a fully-equipped test kitchen where presentations led by top pastry chefs and mas-ter chocolatiers will be held. The collaboration between culinary peers and industry professionals provides an incredible setting for the exchange of creativity and a place where desserts and pastries are taken to the next level. The institute also features a showroom displaying Qzina’s industry lead-ing brands where customers can select and order the best products from America’s largest collection of professional chocolate, dessert and pastry ingredients.

“The vision of the Qzina Institute is to provide a place for profes-sionals to experience the best of the chocolate and pastry industry,” said Foley. “Our goal is to help chefs expand their dessert repertoire and bring new creations to their guests. Customers who visit the institute will be inspired and surprised with what they can make and learn.”

Truly unique to the confectionery world, the Qzina Institute offers a Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Lab where participants can make their own chocolate, from start to finish. Dur-ing an exciting two-day program, Qzina takes guests through the his-tory of chocolate, from the Mayan origins to modern day production. Attendees learn first-hand how to roast, winnow, grind, refine and conche chocolate. The cocoa beans used in the Bean-to-Bar Experience are selected personally by Foley who travels around the world to search for cocoa beans with the

perfect blend of unique origins and exceptional flavors.

“The Qzina Institute is the only place in North America where cus-tomers can experience the process of roasting their own beans and the artistry of making fine, hand-crafted chocolate,” said Foley. “The Bean-to-Bar Experience represents Qzina’s deep appreciation for ex-perimenting with only the highest quality cocoa beans in their truest form. Making chocolate from the bean to the bar is an unforgettable process that any chef will thor-oughly enjoy.”

To celebrate the grand open-ing of the Qzina Institute and the company’s 30th anniversary, Qzina is planning a big surprise that will attract worldwide attention. This co-lossal unveiling will excite chocolate lovers all around the globe.

For more information and to view the current Bean-to Bar and event schedule visit www.qzina.com. Please note that the Qzina Institute is not currently open to the public. Interested parties are welcome to register for the Bean-to-Bar pro-gram and product demonstrations listed on the website.
