By Jeanne BaneyOne of the oldest neighborhoods

in California, the Los Rios District is surprisingly trendy these days while still retaining the old world charm. It was a surprise to cross the tracks of the old California Central Railroad station and find this very interesting lane of tiny homes and shops.

I was told by one of the shop-keepers that these were the original homes, many restored, but the archi-tectural details are the same. There are no termites in this land of dry heat and so the wood homes did not suffer damage during the centuries. The sizes, consisting of tiny, tinier, and tiniest are mostly original. Auto traffic is not allowed, so while walking along the lane sans sidewalks you are free to observe the tiniest details or bask in the sunlight while gazing at historical old California.

Many of the tiny homes are en-closed with tiny fences making it look almost like Munchkinland, it is so enchanting. It is hard to tear yourself away from one shop to explore the next. An outdoor garden with multiple fountains for sale was exquisite and the perfect place to rest. Another shop with a garage opened and filled with tiny gardens was breathtak-ing. Each garden was made in a

unique container, a wood fruit box, a copper bot-tom pot, A felted hat, an egg basket. The gardens contained miniatures that told a story. Miniature clover, flowers, the tiniest creatures, each garden more enticing than the last. The creative propri-etress did not fill them will pre-manufactured items, but created an illusion of an item using some-thing entirely different. For example, you could purchase a tiny trash can for a doll house. But she used a black film can add-ing a handle to the top. It has the appearance of a trash can when placed in the right setting.

The Los Rios District also had a restaurant located on a corner, a block or so down from the main area. Here they served afternoon tea out in the fenced garden area. Snowy tablecloths covered the iron tables and the overgrown cactus and palms told tales of dryness that only tea could quench.

A yarn shop at the end of the lane seemed out of place at first, yet in-

side, the skeins of hand dyed wools and spinning takes one back to the days when it was the only way to clothe yourself against the cool eve-nings before trains brought goods in from the East.

The little wood houses were close to the lane, with just a bit of space between the porch and the street. The sides of the lane were marked with a wood fence or a row of stones or bricks. It was dusty and dry, each home and business had a riot of color-

ful flowers and tall palms surrounding it. Cactus grew taller than the roof and was in bountiful supply.

It’s a hideaway lane and was not crowded with tourists. You could look down the street and not see another person. This enhanced a feeling of actually being in another time and place. A sleepy amble down the lane in the warmth of the sun, puts you right in the middle of pre-gold rush California.

Mission San Juan Capistrano will host St. Joseph’s Day and the Return of the Swallows Celebration on Tuesday, March 19 from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. The celebration begins with Mass from 8:30-9:15 a.m. at Mission Basilica and continues with festivities on the historic Mis-sion grounds at 10 a.m. Though St. Joseph’s Day and the Return of the Swallows celebration is an annual event, this year promises to feature something special -- the cliff swal-lows themselves.

Acting on the advice of cliff swal-lows expert Dr. Charles Brown, the Mission last year implemented a “vocalization project” in the hopes of attracting the birds who have been distracted in years past by urbanization. Once again, in effort to attract more swallows, speakers have been strategically placed on the Mission grounds and will play courtship songs for the next eight weeks to lure in the birds.

“The hope is to play calls and songs that will attract the interest and notice of passing cliff swallows,” said Dr. Brown, who is a professor of biological sciences at the University of Tulsa. “Once they see this site, there’s a good chance they will be interested. It’s a matter of attracting them in; we know they are overhead and in the area.”

Dr. Brown will give a lecture beginning at 2 p.m. in the Soldiers Barracks, part of a festive day of activities that will include:

§ New Gate House and front en-trance now open to the public

§ Daily Ringing of the Historic Bells in honor of Father Serra at 9 a.m.

§ Ceremonial Ringing of Historic Bells in honor of St. Joseph and the Return of the Swallows at 10:15 a.m., noon and 3:15 p.m.

§ Historic School Bell Ringing at 10 a.m. in the Central Courtyard

§ Live music from Renée Bondi and Mariachi for All of Capistrano Community Mariachi Program

§ Mission Basilica School tradi-tional student performances

§ San Juan Elementary School kindergartners bilingual language immersion program performances

§ Performance by Ballet Folklorico de California State University Ful-lerton

§ Performance by Duende Fla-menco

§ Native American Tushmal Sing-ers and Basketweavers

§ Journeys to the Past California Native American stories and dances

§ Activites for Kids including Adobe Brickmaking and Panning for Gold

§ Windows of the Past Exhibit on new Mission Store facility in public plaza on Ortega Highway

§ Swallows Walk and Talk tour at 11:15 a.m. and 1 p.m.

§ Docents stationed at the Serra Chapel, Great Stone Church and museum exhibits to provide informa-tion and answer questions

§ Vendors Las Golondrinas (Mexi-can food); Z Pizza (artisan pizza); Hawaiian Delight (coffee, churros, cotton candy); and Gavin Arts (Swal-lows Celebration Commemorative T-shirts and Sweatshirts)

The cliff swallows migrate annually to Goya, Argentina, in October, and return to their spring and summer home in San Juan Capistrano each March. The Swallows celebration be-gan centuries ago when Mission pa-dres observed that the birds’ return roughly coincided with St. Joseph’s Day on the church calendar, March 19. The celebration has achieved international prominence since then.

In his book, “Capistrano Nights,” Father St. John O’Sullivan, pastor of Mission San Juan Capistrano from 1910-33, related how the swallows first came to call the Mission home. One day, while walking through town, Father O’Sullivan saw a shop-keeper, broomstick in hand, knock-ing down the conically shaped mud swallow nests that were under the eaves of his shop. The birds were darting back and forth through the

air squealing over the destruction of their homes.

“What in the world are you doing?” Father O’Sullivan asked.

“Why, these dirty birds are a nui-sance and I am getting rid of them!” the shopkeeper responded.

“But where can they go?” Father Sullivan responded.

“I don’t know and I don’t care,” the shopkeeper replied, slashing away with his pole. “But they’ve no busi-ness here, destroying my property.”

Father O’Sullivan then said, “Come on swallows, I’ll give you shelter. Come to the Mission. There’s room enough there for all.”

The very next morning, the padre discovered the swallows busy build-ing their nests outside the newly restored sacristy of Father Serra’s

Church. Another favorite spot was the ruins of the Great Stone Church, which was once lined with hundreds of swallows’ nests.

General admission is $10 for Adults, $9 for Seniors (60+) and $6 for Children (ages 4-11). Admission is free for Mission Preservation So-ciety members, current volunteers with I.D., and children 3 and under.

Tickets are available now at the Mission’s Gate House and may be purchased in advance or on event day. Reserved seating is not of-fered for this event. Please RSVP separately for Dr. Brown’s lecture by phone: 949-234-1321 or by email: [email protected].

“Everyone past the age of ten already knows that the residues from donuts, cakes, candies and those sugary drinks are going to be on the teeth all day, making cavities” says popular local dentist Dr. Michael Tessier .But rather than giving his patients along lecture and wagging his fi nger at them ,the good doc-tor often surprises them by offering them yet another sweet treat, saying “Here, try this instead .At my offi ce, we also have a Tic-Tac- like sucky candy that is sweetened with xylitol, which coats the tooth surfaces with a decay-resistant biofi lm. We highly recommend that for our patients going through orthodontic tooth straightening, or for anyone who is genetically pre-disposed to tooth de-cay.”Dr. Tessier adds; “Most people with busy lives fi nd choosing the very best nutri-tious food is hard to do and sometimes we give in to the temptation of enjoying a doughnut instead of an apple or more nutritious fruit. Treating tooth decay today is nowhere near as onerous as it was when I was a kid. Most cavities can be fi lled using modern 21st century technology rather than the dreaded drill. Here in my dental offi ce in Rancho Santa Margarita I use a laser! It quickly delivers a small, concentrated amount of energy to a very specifi c localized area in the space of a few minute visits; the patient is free of pain. Modern technology at its best! Regular visits to the dental offi ce for tooth cleaning and routine inspections will prevent serious conditions from developing in your mouth and guarantee a long and happy relationship with your teeth. If you sometimes give in to a sweet-tooth temptation, don’t worry. For Tessier and his team of happy dental assistants are always there to save the day! As Dr. Tessier says,” I’m a Grandpa, and it is my duty, my prerogative to take my little guys out for a do-nut on occasion. But only on the weekend and only when they’ve also had something nutritious to eat. Please call my offi ce at (949)-459-7212. If you need more information on this subject, or need to make an appointment. Dr. Michael Tessier’s Offi ce is located at 28562 Oso at the intersection of Oso and Antonio parkway down the walkway from Starbucks and the do-nut shop- how ironic.

By Michael GrissoIn the center of Orange County you

will find the “Jewel of the Missions” or better known as the San Juan Capist-rano Mission. One that started over two hundred years ago has blossomed into a historical landmark for many to see and admire. However, a lot of sacrifice was endured over this period to inhabit many different cultures.

The San Juan Capistrano Mission was re-founded on November 1, 1776. Due to an attack from Indians in San Diego in 1775 the Mission bells were buried to keep them safe if there were a similar attack on San Juan Capistrano. Then, once everything was calm Father Junipero Serra re-founded the Mission and built the church and additional buildings with the help of the local Indi-ans who were friendly. However it was not until 1791 that the Mission bells would be ringing in a bell tower when it had been completed. For fifteen years while San Juan Capistrano was being built the bell would hang from a simple tree.

By 1806 the largest church in Cali-fornia was built and would continue to grow over the course of the next decade. 1811 became a very success-ful year for the Mission where they would have a magnificent display of

wheat, corn, cattle, sheep, and horses. Unfortunately it would not last long and tragedy would reach San Juan Capist-rano when an earthquake came and took the church that was with it never to be built again. A few years thereafter a pirate named Bouchard was attack-ing the California settlements and as the Padres were warned they took all they could and fled with the natives to another area. As ordinary discipline was becoming obsolete, due to Mexican Governor Echeandia telling Indians that did not need to follow commands of the Padres, it was evident that activ-ity would all be lost. By 1845 the San Juan Capistrano Mission was sold for $710,000 to Don Juan Forster.

What once was a beautiful site was now in ruins and hardly well kept until 1910 when Father John O’ Sullivan came to the Mission looking for a heal-ing recovery from tuberculosis he decid-ed he would take on the challenge and try to re-establish it back to years prior. By 1918 San Juan Capistrano Mission was an active church once again and still is today. You can find the Mission in southern Orange County just three blocks west of I-5 Ortega Highway.

Today you will find over 10 acres of gardens mixed in with beautiful hand made fountains, and a sense of piece

in this quiet area away from the dis-tractions of the city. One of their most notorious events viewable during the spring is the return of the swallows. If you visit San Juan Capistrano Mission do so around March 19th as one of the biggest media frenzies in California when the swallows migrate back to the Mission. It is said that many years ago Father O’Sullivan noticed a storekeeper in town taking a broom and knocking down the nests of the swallows and chasing them away. The padre then invited the birds back to the Mission declaring that there was “room for all”, and ever since they continue to return feeling safe.

San Juan Capistrano Mission is used for many different aspects in Orange County and throughout California. Because of its “national monument” status, preserving the Mission is one of the most important developments in the works today. As of 2006 they were making continuous efforts to raise over $10,000,000 in donations to restructure the buildings. You will find visiting the Mission to be an educational experi-ence throughout as many surrounding schools take field trips to the destination on a yearly basis. You will also be able to enjoy festivals and events that would attract any tourist staying in the area to

learn a little more of the history within the walls of the San Juan Capistrano Mission.

The profound nature of the San Juan Capistrano Mission is to ensure Native-Americans, Mexicans, European-Amer-icans, and many other cultures away to unite as one. With their weekly masses within the chapel, it stands apart from what the rest of world is trying to accom-plish. Living together without prejudice, and loving one another who who we are as opposed to our ethnicity. For that is the true character you will come to find at the San Juan Capistrano Mission.

B y D a v i d W h i t e Twice in the past three months, the wine world has been rocked by news from Robert Parker, the world’s most famous wine critic. In December, Parker announced that he’d sold a “substantial interest” in the Wine Advocate, the influential magazine he founded in 1978, to a trio of Singapore-based inves-tors -- and that he’d relinquished editorial control. In February, one of Parker’s top critics, Antonio Gal-loni, said that he’d left the publica-tion to start an online enterprise. Parker, who popularized the 100-point scale for reviewing wine, is nearly 66. So he can’t be faulted for wanting to slow down. But thanks to this pair of stories, oenophiles finally seem ready to admit that wine

criticism is changing. Consumers don’t need -- or want -- centralized gatekeepers telling them what they should or shouldn’t drink. Consum-ers still need advisors, of course, but when today’s consumers want information, they’re willing to look past professional critics and instead turn to friends and trusted networks. With travel, restaurants, movies, and so much else, this trend would hardly be worthy of commentary. TripAdvisor long ago supplanted paper-based guides like Frommer’s. Yelp is now the holy grail of restau-rant reviews, and local blogs are increasingly influential. With movies, opening the local newspaper for commentary no longer makes sense when you can check out dozens of reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. With wine, however, this shift runs counter to so much of what’s sacred. Everything about wine -- the bizarre tasting rituals, knowledge of obscure regions and varietals, and identify-ing good values -- is supposed to be handed down from on high. Consum-ers are supposed to decide what to drink based on the advice of promi-nent wine critics -- not mere amateurs. But it’s obvious that consum-e r s a r e g r o w i n g c o m f o r t -

able dismissing gatekeepers. Look at CellarTracker. Ten years ago, Eric LeVine, a Microsoft ex-ecutive, built a data-management program for his wine cellar. When he showed the program to some friends, they begged him to share it. So he put the program online, where friends could track their personal inventories and share tasting notes. LeVine then decided to make his pro-gram available to everyone, for free. Today, about 800,000 people visit the site each month, and more than 2,200 wines are reviewed on the site each day. This means CellarTracker users review more wines in just six days than Robert Parker reviews in an entire year. The site isn’t just used by wine junkies -- about 90 percent of its visi-tors aren’t registered. As wine writer Jeff Siegel once wrote, “this means people aren’t going to CellarTracker to mark off a wine after they drink it; they’re going to CellarTracker to read wine reviews written by amateurs.” Just as CellarTracker is be-coming more popular, scores are becoming less important. Across the country, boutique wine shops are taking off. Many don’t post scores at all, as the owners see

scores as an obstacle to consumer interaction. Once upon a time at high-end restaurants, it wasn’t unusual to see scores on a wine list. Today, such a concept is laughable -- top restaurants employ sommeliers who are eager to educate their customers. The wine media is also changing. While consumers can still subscribe to publications like the Wine Advocate or Wine Spectator, they can also turn to blogs and message boards. And then there’s social media. Face-book has eclipsed 1 billion active us-ers; Twitter has half as many. Earlier this year, Instagram announced that it has over 100 million users. People are utilizing these platforms to share everything -- and one of those things is wine. There’s even an iPhone app -- Delectable -- that enables users to remember, share, discover, and even purchase wines, just by snap-ping a photo. It’s becoming extremely popular among wine enthusiasts. Today’s wine drinkers are an adventurous bunch, confident in their own palates and willing to trust the advice of their trusted net-works. With Parker’s decline, this trend is only going to accelerate.

Jazz FeSt raiSeS $161,000 For oCean inStitute

The Ocean Institute’s popular jazz fundraising weekend event combined renowned jazz artists Rick Braun, Peter White and Richard Elliott with elegant dining, cocktails and fundraising opportunities for the nonprofit learning labo-ratory dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of the ocean.

Noted jazz trumpeter Rick Braun and Friends provided the sounds that have made this one of the most popular jazz events in Southern California. Joining Braun were acoustic guitar artist Peter White and saxophonist Richard Elliot. A two-time winner of the Gavin Report’s Smooth Jazz Artist of the Year award and Billboard Top 20 artist, Braun has toured with many of show business’ most famous musicians, including Tina Turner, Natalie Cole and Tom Petty.

White, whose reputation for versatility combines lyricism and energy with elements of jazz, pop and classical guitar has opened for artists Linda Ron-stadt, Billy Joel, Queen and others. Elliot thrives on crowd interaction and stormed onto the jazz scene in the nineties with What’s Inside, followed by his first #1 collection, On the Town. His next two releases, Soul Embrace and After Dark, also went #1.

The weekend kicked off on Friday, February 22 when 300 guests enjoyed Pear Valley Vineyards wine, appetizer reception by Sabatino’s and desserts compliments of the Savannah Chop House followed by a spectacular per-formance by the jazz trio.

On Saturday evening, an elegant, intimate affair was attended by 200 hun-dred guests on the grounds of the beautiful Ocean Institute facility in Dana Point Harbor. The premiere fundraising gala including red carpet welcome, cocktail reception with passed canapés, and an award-winning, four-course epicurean meal prepared by celebrated local chefs from St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort & Spa, Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa, Montage Laguna Beach, Laguna Beach, and The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel. Pear Valley Vineyards, established in Paso Robles in 1997, provided all wine pairings.

The evening began with an expansive silent auction held in the Ocean Insti-tute’s Ecology Building and later in the evening, a rousing live auction sold a St. Regis Wine Cellar Dinner for 12 twice for $6,500, an Auberge Private Residence Vacation for $5,500 and a Montage Studio Chef’s Table for 10 went for $4,750. Due to unprecedented demand, an encore performance with Unplugged Peter White was added to the schedule on Sunday afternoon. The unique music experience included lunch by Bristol Farms and a Q & A session with the musician following the performance.

San Clemente resident Bob Beaulieu chaired the weekend festivities. Beaulieu is with Pacific Western Bank and has served on the Jazz committee member for the past seven years.

Net proceeds from the entire weekend of events, at $161,000, will benefit the Ocean Institute and its hands-on, ocean-oriented educational programs.

Since its inception in 2003, this annual weekend of events has raised more than $1 million to support the Ocean Institute, whose mission is to inspire all generations through education to become responsible stewards of our oceans.

More than 115,000 K-12 students and 6,000 teachers annually participate in the Institute’s 61 award-winning, immersion style programs. To learn about ocean facts, sea creatures, oceanography, science, and California history, students voyage onto the ocean, study in labs and live aboard tall ships or in the chaparral, where they can feel and taste the salty sea spray, sort through live specimens, observe migrating whales on the Dana Point whale watch cruises, collect scientific data and investigate the culture and world around them. On weekends, the Ocean Institute is open to the public.

The beloved children’s classic and highly-revered ballet, “Cinderella,” is given a whole new, whimsical look with life-size puppets helping to tell the famous tale set to Serge Prokofiev’s timeless music for Pa-cific Symphony’s next Family Musi-cal Mornings concert, presented by Farmers & Merchants Bank. Led by new Assistant Conductor Alejandro Gutiérrez, this 45-minute concert is designed especially for children ages 5-11, allowing families the opportunity to hear and enjoy classical music in a kid-friendly environment. In collabora-tion with the Bob Brown Puppets, the Symphony performs selections from Prokofiev’s beautifully lush score as the story of Cinderella and her wicked step-family unfolds—and her fairy godmother helps her find her prince and live happily ever after. With a spotlight on the cello, children also have the chance to compare the size and range of each string instrument, and to learn more about the rich, soulful sound of the cello during both the concert and the Musical Carnival (more below).

Taking place Saturday, March 23, at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, the concert opens with Johann Strauss Jr.’s “Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka.” This popular polka has been used in many recent films including, “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” and James Bond’s film “Moonraker.” Tickets are $19-31; for more informa-tion or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSym-phony.org.

“I love the contrasts in Prokofiev’s melodies and themes and the vast variety of colors in his music,” says Maestro Gutiérrez. “It is like feeding the imagination with thousands of ideas and mental pictures. Some-times Prokofiev gives us glances of a melancholic idea, and other times he inspires happiness and the desire to dance or sigh for the beautiful love melodies.”

Prokofiev started his composition “Cinderella” in 1940, but put it on hold during World War II to work on the opera “War and Peace.” Prokofiev resumed working on the enchanting score again in 1944 and finished it the following year. The score was first used by the Bolshoi Ballet in 1945 and then by the Kirov Ballet in 1946. Prokofiev is famous for composing music for several ballets, including the legendary “The Prodigal Son,” choreographed by Sergei Diaghilev, “Romeo and Juliet” and the popular children’s story, “Peter and the Wolf.”

Under the direction of Gutiérrez, the

Symphony tells the fairy tale of the young girl who lives at the mercy of her s t e p m o t h e r and two evi l stepsisters. Af-ter being invit-ed to the grand ball at the royal palace, Cin-derella’s step-mother forbids her to attend. With the help of a fairy god-m o t h e r a n d the flick of a magic wand, Cinderella is t rans fo rmed into a mesmer-izing beauty. But, before the clock strikes midnight, Cin-derella quickly flees from the bal l , only to lose a glass s l i p p e r o n the way. The prince, infatu-ated with Cin-derella’s grace and presence, p romises to find and marry her. Upon arriv-ing at Cinder-ella’s house the next day, the prince offers her the glass slipper. Much to the astonish-ment of Cinder-ella’s stepmother and stepsisters, the shoe is a perfect fit.

Accompanying the Symphony to tell this familiar tale are the Bob Brown Puppets, bringing their own fun twist to the childhood classic. Southern California audiences are in for a real treat with the opportunity to see this critically-acclaimed Virginia-based company in action.

“It is exciting to work with a couple of artists that have dedicated themselves to educating and entertaining children of different ages for more than five decades,” says Gutiérrez. “The shows are intelligently designed and have the support of great music.”

Designer and builder Bob Brown be-gan his professional puppeteer career over 55 years ago. He has performed in several Broadway productions of the

Baird’s spectacular puppet extrava-ganzas and has also performed at the New York City World’s Fair in 1963 and 1964. After creating his own company in late 1964, he was commissioned by the Smithsonian Institution to develop and run the Smithsonian Puppet The-ater, a venue that played to well over 3,000 visitors a week. Judy Brown, the company’s writer, director and narrator, is an award-

winning scriptwriter and stage direc-tor. Her work has been seen on concert stages all over the world, including Israel, Japan, Singapore and major symphony halls across the United States. The Browns are the winners of the 2008 Virginia Governor’s Award for their 45-year contribution to the Arts in the state of Virginia. Also traveling to Southern California are four company

puppeteers, all with a multitude of per-forming experience and impeccable resumes.

Along with the concert, families and children are invited to the Musical Carnival, where children can sing, play, dance, try musical instruments, meet Symphony musicians and partake in a variety of other events. The Musical Carnival, which begins at 9 a.m. (for the 10 a.m. concert) and 12:15 p.m. (for the 11:30 a.m. concert). During the Musical Carnival children can craft puppets, explore playing a cello and even learn the proper way to hold a bow.

Family Musical Mornings concludes for the season on May 4 with “Under the Sea,” featuring music from Dis-ney’s beloved “The Little Mermaid” and Debussy’s “La Mer.”

Selma’s Chicago Pizzeria & Tap Room is celebrating it’s 10 year anniversary this St. Patrick’s Day at their original RSM location in the Lowes Shopping Center. According to the owners, Mike Phillips Jr. and Eric Miller, long-term local residents, this is going to be a great party for this momentous occasion. “We want to show our appreciation to our loyal customers who have helped us become what we are today!” says Eric Miller.

The anniversary festivities will commence on Monday, March 11th and extend to March 17th. Selma’s will feature a $3.17 (St. Patty’s day) menu on select items including a few Irish beers! Bring your crazy hat and your green clothes and join the party! They say that their vision was always to open up a quality, full-service pizza restaurant with a fun and lively atmosphere at a moderate price point. Both owners have a great fondness for craft beers and wines and when the space opened up next to the Rancho Santa Margarita location they collectively had a “beer-iphany”. To create a Tap Room, a cozy room fi lled with a superb selection of twenty fi ve carefully made small batch beers from local to abroad that would complement the Selma’s fare. Selma’s serves 6 different styles of pizzas: Deep Dish, Chicago Pie, Low Profi le, Artisan, Artisan Wheat, and Gluten Free. In addition, they offer lots of great pastas, gourmet salads, Panini sandwiches, appetizers, desserts, and one of the largest selections of beers & wine in the area.”Live Life Pedal to the Metal is not only the company motto it is also their #1 pizza. The top selling combo pizza: pepperoni, Italian sausage, meatballs, green peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms and our deep dish pizzas are always topped with fresh Roma tomatoes. Selma’s just came out with a new dessert called Captain Caramel Crunch, which is Captain Crunch encrusted bread sticks battered and fried, served with 2 scoops of Vanilla Bean ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce. Selma’s offers full service or drop and go Catering .

With the positive reception in Rancho Santa Margarita they decided to open up another restaurant in the area of San Clemente’s popular

downtown Del Mar Street. A third location soon followed in 2011, when Selma’s expanded into Ladera Ranch with yet another popular restaurant and tap room featuring 30 craft beers on tap.Selma’s is known locally as an independent restaurant with strong community ties, which focuses on their delighted customers having a great experience each and every time! Co-owner Eric Miller says; The crew at Selma’s understands that everybody’s most recent meal at Selma’s is their impression of our restaurant. Because of this, we try to serve up a large heaping dollop of customer service at every table! Our motto is “Great tasting food always served with a smile!”

Co-owner Mike Phillips Jr. says: “A core principle of Selma’s has always been to make sure that we provide a positive work environment for our staff. Most of our staff come from the local area and have grown up eating at Selma’s. We want every employee to love their job; we know that if they love their job, our customers will have a better experience! Some of the greatest rewards we have had with Selma’s is from pleasing our customers. When you are out and someone stops you and says “I love Selma’s!” and they go on to talk about menu items and the service they received and then touch on the beers they enjoyed. That is a great conversation for us! It’s a hard business, but those compliments make it all worthwhile! We are currently looking at locations to build another Selma’s in 2013.”

Selma’s has raised over $100,000 for local charities over the last 10 years. The local schools, sports teams, churches, Red Cross, and other organizations have all been the benefi ciaries of our “Eat Dough, Raise Dough” program. Selma’s will host a charity or group and give 20% of the net sales back to the cause. Selma’s is the marquis scoreboard sponsor at Tesoro High School. Selma’s offers an E-club program where people receive 2 email specials per month (plus a free appetizer and birthday and anniversary email.

“We would just like to thank all of our wonderful customers for the support they have given us over the past 10 years. “It’s been a wild ride, but as we preach, we live life pedal to the metal!”, says Eric Miller.

by Don SchneiderThe Santa Margarita Catholic High

School Varsity Boys Basketball team concluded a great run in the playoffs with an exciting championship game at the Anaheim Sports Arena March 1, 2013 against Damien of La Verne. Unfortunately, the Eagles came up short and lost after leading into the 3rd quarter and throughout the first half. The final score was 54-40 after Damien went on a 18-6 run to end the game. It was the Spartans first CIF Championship. The Eagles now go to the CIF State Championship tournament and play against Cathedral Catholic in the first round.

Santa Margarita got to its 6th boy’s basketball CIF championship game in school history by beating four dif-ferent teams in the playoffs with an average victory margin of over 17 points throughout. They were led by junior sensation Joe Furstinger along with Junior guard Devonte Klines, senior starters and Team Captains Tyler Strauss, Ryan Merritt along with Freshman guard Colin Ferrier who also contributed heavily to the effort throughout the playoffs. A further tribute to the success of the Eagles in the final championship was that it was

accomplished by their new first year Head Coach of the program Jeff Reinert and his staff. When asked about the achieve-ments in the playoffs and going forward, he commented: “It’s a tribute to our play-ers and sticking with a very tough Trinity League season. At one time Mater Dei (#1), St. John Bosco (#25), JSerra (#60), Orange Lutheran (#84), all where rated in top 100 of the coun-try. We kept work-ing and preparing for the next game and staying positive. The Trinity League prepared us for this.”

Furstinger, the 6-foot-8 junior aver-aging 17 points a game, was held to eight points. This matched his lowest scoring output of the season, when made that in a Trinity League loss to Servite. Devonte Klines added 16 points with an intense effort all game.

With an overall record of 16-15,

Santa Margarita’s season moves forward now to the state regional. By reaching the 3AA championship game, Santa Margarita is gets an automatic berth in the CIF Southern California Regional, the qualifying tournament for the state championships. Coach Rein-ert was optimistic in spite of the cham-pionship outcome. He said, “I believe we have a team that is able to make a run in the state championships. We

are still getting better and we haven’t stop working and improving. We have a tough game in San Diego to start off, but no tougher than any we played in the Trinity League.”The State Cham-pionship finals are held in Sacramento at the Arco Arena March 22-23.
