Segerstrom Center for the Arts applauds Keenan Kampa on the occasion of her American debut with the Mariinsky Ballet during per formances of Swan Lake, October 2 – 7, 2012. The young American ballerina danced one of the four Swans in the open-ing presentation of the Center’s I n t e rna t i ona l Dance Se r i es . We are pleased to offer photos of Ms. Kampa taken by Gene Schiavone during the engagement as well as stories regarding her from various media and the Mariinsky Theater. Ms. Kampa said, “ I feel t ru ly honored to have been invited to join the Mariinsky Ballet, a great and historic company. I know it will require a lot of hard work and dedication to live up to their high standards, and I look forward to making that commitment. It was wonderful to have had my US debut with the Company in Swan Lake here at Segerstrom Center.”
Dance Magazine recently called her “a stunning paradox of star quality…within her delicate, an-gelic presence lies an edginess and attack—an intrigue worthy of Mona Lisa—that makes her irre-sistible to watch.”
Kampa’s historic path to the Mari insky Bal let began at the age of four when she joined the Conservatory Ballet in Reston, Virginia, under the direction of Julia Cziller Redick. She attended both the Boston Ballet’s Summer Dance Program (2003 and 2004) and American Ballet Theater ’s summer intensive program in New York (2005 and 2006) and was a regular attendee of the Kennedy Center’s Ballet Master Class Se-ries. In January 2007, Keenan at-tended a Kennedy Center master class with Mariinsky Ballet Master Gennady Selyutski who invited her to study at the 274-year-old Academy. Three years later, at the age of 20, Keenan Kampa became the first American dancer given the special distinction of be-ing awarded the Russian diploma from the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia. Gradu-ates of the school include some of the most famous ballet dancers, choreographers, and teachers in history, including Balanchine, Baryshnikov, Danilova, Nijinsky, Nureyev, Pavlova, and Vishneva. Through her intense three years of classical ballet training there she gained the respect of i ts teachers, winning lead roles in
the school’s productions of The Nutcracker and Gayane, becoming the only foreigner ever to dance the role of Masha (Clara) in the Academy’s product ion of The Nutcracker in her final year. Film Producer Ken Ferguson is devel-oping Keenan’s amazing story into a feature film through his inde-pendent film company, Beach Mill Productions.
Kampa joined Boston Ballet in 2010 and is currently a company
member. She has performed a diverse repertoire with Boston Bal-let including La Bayadére, Jorma Elo’s world premiere Elo Experi-ence, and George Balanchine’s Symphony in Three Movements. This spring she can be seen per-forming in Boston Ballet’s produc-tion of Don Quixote April 26-May 6.
Founded in the 18th century and originally known as the Impe-rial Russian Ballet, the Mariinsky Ballet is one of the world’s leading
ballet companies. While known internationally as the Kirov Ballet in the Soviet era, the Mariinsky Ballet Company’s historic name was restored in the 1990s. The Mari insky Bal let is the parent company of the Vaganova Ballet Academy, a leading international ballet school. Under the artistic direction of Valery Gergiev, the Mariinsky Theatre has received world-wide critical acclaim.

By Christi AldridgeFall fashion is hitting the stores
and the fashion magazines, so don’t get left behind as the seasons change. Add a few of these pieces to your wardrobe to instantly add fall flair. Here are the pieces that will be popular this fall.
Matchstick PantsWhat are matchstick pants?
They’re slim fitting pants that look chic and dressy that you can wear to work or on an evening out. They hit the ankle for a flattering fit, and come in comfortable fabrics like silk and cotton. The patterns are gorgeous and will look great paired with a solid silk blouse.
PatternsPatterns are fall’s big trend, and
you don’t want to miss the boat. This trend encompasses everything from polka dots and florals to brocade prints, plaids, and everything in be-tween. Can you combine two different prints? Sure, as long as the prints have at least one color in common and don’t overpower each other.
LeatherLeather is making a comeback,
and it’s not just leather miniskirts.
Leather is being seen on shirts, vests, motorcycle jackets and pleated skirts. Try a pair of glamorous leather jeans with a pretty sweater or blouse, or add leather to your wardrobe in the form of a beautiful bag or a chic blazer. Leather is being seen in lots of colors from black to burgundy.
SparklesLush jewels and sparkles are in
style, so get in on the trend with a rhinestone edged cardigan, sparkly heels, a sequined top or even jeweled hair accessories or purses. Sequins, glitter and jewels will be seen a lot this fall, and you can do a little bit or a
lot depending on your personal style. If you choose to do a lot of sparkle, make sure the rest of your outfit is more understated.
WineMerlot, cabernet, and pinot
noir…yes, those are types of drinks but they are also fall ’s trendiest colors! Shades of bur-gundy are everywhere including clothing, bags, shoes and even lipstick. It’s a gorgeous shade for fall that can work for most everyone and it also pairs well with black, dark green and pink. Use it as a neutral to update your style this fall.
ClutchLeave your oversized bag at
home: clutches are all the rage this fall. Small clutch bags in all colors and sizes are taking over. They are made out of leather, polyester, tweed or suede. Some are embellished with stones and some are glitter encrusted or have a hard shell. Whatever you choose, a clutch is a simple and stylish addition to any outfit for day or evening.

city to host enrollment for lifesAving stUdy next month
The American Cancer Soci-ety is seeking people across the nation who want to make a direct impact in the fight against c a n c e r. T h e Cancer Preven-t ion S tudy -3 (CPS-3 ) w i l l pave the way for the next generation of cancer research.
The city of Mission Viejo has teamed up with the American Cancer Society in the battle against the disease by hosting enrollment for the lifesaving study from 3 to 7 p.m. Oct. 25 and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 27 at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way.
The primary focus of CPS-3 is to better understand the lifestyle, environ-mental, and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer and, ultimately, to help eliminate cancer as a major health concern for future generations. Folks willing to make a 20-to-30-year commitment to the study who are between 30 and 65 and have never been diagnosed with cancer (excluding basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer) may qualify. Although this is a long study, the time commitment is small, and once enrolled the study simply requires participants to complete surveys every couple of years. To enroll, visit CP-S3OC.org or call 1-888-604-5888. Appointments take about 20-30 minutes. Participating in this study is a chance to help the American Cancer Society understand what causes cancer and how to prevent it, so lives can be saved and a world with less cancer and more birthdays can exist.

City Recognizes More than 120,000 Hours of Volunteer Time by Local Teens
Lion’s Heart, a volunteer service organization that empowers teens to support local non-profits, has been recognized with a certificate of ap-preciation from the City of Mission Viejo. The certificate was presented by Mission Viejo Mayor, Frank Ury, at the Oct 1 council meeting, citing more than 120,000 hours of volunteer time accrued by local teens assist-ing organizations, such as The Bell Tower Foundation, Relay for Life and the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.
Lion’s Heart provides teenagers in 6th – 12th grade the tools necessary to contribute to for-cause organiza-tions in their communities. Chapters are organized by location, grade level and gender. Groups within chapters are responsible for electing officers and running their own meetings; giving each individual the power to choose how they want to serve in their communities. Members are re-quired to complete at least 30 hours of volunteer service each year.
“The under-current of what makes our communities wonderful is the amount of volunteers that are out there,” said Mission Viejo Mayor, Frank Ury, during his presentation to Lion’s Heart founder, Terry Corwin.
“I am so proud of many accom-plishments of our Lion’s Heart mem-bers and it has been a true privilege witnessing countless teenagers grow into civic-minded contributors of so-ciety,” said Corwin. “It’s an honor to accept this award on behalf of the or-ganization, and I hope our members inspire other teens to get involved and support the many worthy causes
in their communities.”Lion’s Heart was founded in 2004
by Terry Corwin when her son Spen-cer went to his mother expressing a desire to volunteer in his community but could not find an organization that aligned with what he was looking for. Corwin then created Lion’s Heart as an organization where both teenage boys and girls could create and guide their own philanthropic endeavors, deciding where to serve in their lo-cal communities. Headquartered in
Southern California, the organization has grown to 13 chapters, and is actively working to expand its reach with new chapters across the na-tion. Chapters are primarily located in Southern California, additionally there are chapters located in Atlanta, Ga., Ridgefield Conn. and Lone Tree Co.

Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Discusses How Soon Should
my Child be Visiting the DentistMany parents ask me “How soon should my child be vis-iting the dentist?” I disagree with the American Dental Association opinion that infants should be seen be a dentist by the time they’re a year old. I called the ADA, and then
two pedodontists (dentists who specialize in treating children) for elaboration. Over my thirty-five years of practicing dentistry, I have felt that, except in very extreme cases, the earliest a child needs to be seen by a dentist is in the third year. After my recent conversations, my opinion hasn’t changed. The specialists and the ADA all agree that the reason to bring the child in earlier is to make sure that the parents know how to take care of their children’s teeth. Here’s what I like to tell parents:Parents should examine their children’s mouths routinely. Once teeth are in, visually checking the mouth is important; and if something looks out of the ordinary, then the child should be seen by a professional. With regard to what a child puts in his or her mouth, sugars (simple carbohydrates) should always be avoided. Apple juice, in par-ticular, is very sugary and acidic; when a child is allowed to drink it from a baby-bottle, irrespective of how enjoyable it may be to the child, it is very bad for the teeth. If a child is thirsty, give your child cool, fresh water. Complex carbohydrates, like fruits or veg-etables, probably don’t break down enough in the mouth to cause cavities, so they’re OK. Babies should never go to sleep with a bottle of milk or formula, either, and for the same reasons. And, soft drinks should NEVER, EVER, cross a child’s lips.Teaching your child the importance of brushing, of course, is something a child should be taught early. Having said that, a child will clean the teeth probably better by eating a carrot, or a stick of celery, or an apple, as by brushing. That’s because they have neither the concept nor the coordination to brush effectively.Unless there’s something out of the ordinary going on such as an accident or a parent has a question, I like to see kids when they’re about three years old. Children do better in the chair on their first visit when they’ve been to my office before with mom or even an older sibling. So, bring your little-one with you when you come in to your get your teeth cleaned. Dr. Michael Tessier’s office is located at 28562 Oso Parkway the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways (near the car wash). Most major credit cards and dental plans are cheerfully accepted. Telephone (949) 459-7212.

oc Athlete with cereBrAl pAlsy to Attempt ironmAn world chAmpionship; om foUndAtion
presents $100K checK
Families and supporters of Orange County-based philanthropist and athlete Bonner Paddock joined together at United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County’s (UCP-OC) Irvine headquarters for a special ceremony and sendoff for Paddock who aims to raise $1 million for children with disabilities and hopes to make history by being the first person with cerebral palsy to complete the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
Saturday, October 13th is the Ironman World Championship consisting of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run. The inaugural event was conceptualized in 1977 as a way to challenge athletes who had seen success at a local biathlon. Fifteen people came to the challenge back in 1978, now there are nearly 1800 athletes embarking on the 140.6 mile journey that presents the ultimate test of body, mind and spirit to earn the tile of “Ironman”.
Set in Hawaii, the Kona Coast gives the athletes a black lava view while battling crosswinds of 45 mph, 95 degree temperatures and a scorching sun. The Ironman Triathlon became the benchmark against which all extreme sports challenges would be measured.
Looking at the roster of participants, the youngest are one male and one female both at 19 years of age and the oldest are three athletes all at the age of 82 (two males and a female). Paddock, age 37 is competing with around fifty males his age, but in the 35-39 year old category, he is challenged with just over 230 males.
You might remember Paddock, he’s a Newport Beach resident and in 2008, he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise $250,000 for UCP of Orange County. A video documentary, “Beyond Limits,” narrated by the late Michael Clarke Duncan tells the amazing story.
Paddock is also a UCP-OC Board Member and the founder and chair-man of OM Foundation and his One Man, One Mission campaign is raising funds for early learning centers at United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County (UCP-OC) and other facilities such as Light in Africa (Tanzania) and Dell Children’s Hospital (Austin, TX).
On hand for the sendoff celebration visiting from Africa, was Mama Lynn from the organization Light in Africa and Juliana, a 16 year old from Tanzania whose legs had to be amputated and is now being fitted for prosthetics. Her legs had been severely damaged since birth; she creatively got around using her knees. Bonner met Mama Lynn and toured the orphanage during his trip to Tanzania and it was during that visit he realized the need to support organizations assisting disabled children is a world-wide issue. To date the Light in Africa organization houses 237 children with disabilities ranging from cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and mental disabilities. Many of the children are HIV positive as well. To help address the shortage of services for children with special needs, Paddock and the OM Foundation plan to build additional centers in Tanzania to house and provide care for abandoned children with disabilities.
We wish Bonner Paddock lots of luck on his quest and if you are inter-ested in viewing the Ironman Competition, you can visit www.Ironman.com for exclusive streaming coverage on October 13th. Viewers can access the live webcast, live blog and athlete tracker via computer and, for the first time, via tablet or smart phone beginning at 6 AM local time. Cheer Paddock on and follow him on Twitter at @bonnerpaddock.

By Bex BarkerThough the temperatures are still
high in most states, fall fashion is likely to be on the minds of women everywhere. As cool days and brisk breezes approach, I know I am already lusting after a new fall ward-robe. Here are the five must-haves on my list this season.
A great coat
I have a lovely red coat with an a-line skirt that I adore, but I’m feeling a bit tired of wearing the same thing every year. This will be the third year I’ve worn it, and while it’s in decent shape, I’m ready for something new. Because I am budget conscious this year, I won’t be able to buy a brand new coat, but I have found several I love in consignment stores, my fa-vorite being a black faux-fur with a high collar and fit-and-flare shape to the knees. It’s gorgeous, and I can’t wait to wear it this winter with tights and dresses.
Stylish boots
Boots are one of my favorite things about cold weather. I loved last year’s riding boot trend, so I’m excited to see
that the style is still in fashion, albeit with a somewhat more western vibe. While booties aren’t my thing, there are several styles of the boot’s shorter cousin that are quite cute.
A hat
I don’t generally wear hats because my naturally curly hair does not recuper-ate well from being crushed by a hat, but since I moved from a southern state to a much cooler northern state, I’ve decided to find one I like and commit, perhaps
to this adorable Jessica Simpson feathered Panama. Another option, of course, is the wide ear-covering head-band or even earmuffs, which I love.
Tights
As 98% of my wardrobe con-sists of skirts and dresses, tights are a necessity when cold weath-er comes around, though I also have a love affair with leggings (not worn as pants). One of the recent trends that I have not yet explored is that of shockingly colored or patterned tights. Gen-erally, I’m a basic black kind of girl, but with a black faux-fur coat and black boots, I’m contemplat-ing the dive into these crazy leg-coverings.
A fabulous bag
The bag makes the outfit, for me. Obviously I can’t carry my white leather tote through the winter, so I have to find the fall/winter replacement. I’m loving the large tote bags I see in stores, l ike almost any of these from Banana Republic. The “saddle bag” sort of trend appeals to me, as long as there aren’t tassels or too much metal hardware.
The best part about fall and winter, for me, is the ability to go outside and walk to the coffee shop without breaking a sweat. Equally exciting of course are the
new additions to my wardrobe as I prepare for the impending drop in temperature.

By Reena DasThis fall, leather lovers may continue to flaunt their undying affection for the mate-
rial. Streamlined and structured leather pieces have popped all over the runways making it a ubiquitous choice for cooler days ahead. Although a mainstay for luxe grunge look, leather can be incorporated by the everyday woman to create looks that are comfortable yet edgy. Whether you are a mom chauffeuring your kids around or a professional at work, these couture leather looks can be worked into your fall wardrobe with ease and comfort.
#1 Leather skirtLeather is no longer limited to jackets
and outerwear this season. A standout look can be created by wearing a tailored and slim black leather skirt. Steer clear from the rock chic avatar by pairing it with light casuals, like a graphic blouse or a knitted chunky sweater and wearing it with flats. Take the look from day to night by tucking in a white, long-sleeved silk blouse with peep-toe pumps. An emerald necklace adds a pop of color.
#2 Leather dressTrendy leather days are great to com-
bat cold winter days. However, not everyone can carry the look and feel at ease about it. Work the trend by choosing dresses with leather insets or trimming. Milly brings a retro-chic vibe edge to the collection by adding leather trim on this sheath dress. Conservative with its round neckline and fitted tailoring, the dress creates
a stunning 9-to-5 wardrobe essential. Complete the look with tights and ankle boots.
Willing to take a plunge with the all-leather dress? Check out how Demi Lovato adds a nonchalant punch by styling her all-leather dress with a denim jacket. The jacket breaks the ensemble and adds a statement punch to your ensemble.
#3: Leather peplum topNothing screams “style” more than a peplum leather top. Hence, if you find yourself stuck in a fashion rut, a leather
peplum top can break the monotony and amp up for your style statement. Skinny jeans or straight-leg pants balance the flouncy silhouette of the top and offer a much-needed relaxed touch to your attire. This fashionista creates a tasteful look by pairing her peplum top with zippered ankle length pants and uses a white blazer, a studded clutch and pointy heels to dress up her chic look.
#4: Leather sweaterDesigners have used leather to create modern
and sleek looks. Make bold and edgy impression to your fall outfit by choosing a leather sweater. While all-leather capes are available, sweaters with leather accents are friendlier. For instance, this sweater that comes with leather panels can be paired with a black pleated skirt, dark denim or colored leggings.
#5: Leather jacketLeather jacket remains a coveted choice
for many and continues to remain fall es-sential. This year is no exception. Trend-conscious ladies can take it a step further and avoid the usual blacks and choose a fashion-forward navy blue instead. Blank’s faux-leather motorcycle jacket featuring an asymmetric front zip and cropped fit can be used to dress up your leggings and tees, as well as your slinky evening dresses.
#6: Leather leggingsIf the above-mentioned choices leave
you excited and wanting more, create an uber cool look with skintight leggings. You may start with a basic black and then experiment with more exciting fall offerings like metallics and printed.

F o r s e n i o r c i t i z e n s , the most important d e c i s i o n y o u w i l l make this fall comes in the form of choosing the most appropriate Medicare coverage options for next year.
Medicare’s 2013 open enrollment period runs from October 15 to December 7, 2012. For most cur-rent enrollees, that’s the only time to make coverage changes for the coming calendar year (exceptions are made if you later move outside your plan’s service area, qualify for financial assistance or a few other situations).
Several changes to Medicare take effect in 2013, including:
Medicare Part D participants who reach the so-called doughnut hole coverage gap will begin re-ceiving a 52.5 percent discount on brand-name prescription drugs and a 21 percent discount on generics, compared to 2012’s 50/14 percent rates.
Medicare will begin covering
additional preventive and screening services, including assessments and counseling for depression, alcohol misuse, cardiovascular disease and obesity.
A redesigned Medicare Summary Notice, which explains what your doc-tor/ provider billed for, the Medicare-approved amount, what Medicare paid, and what you must pay.
Medicare also recently overhauled its website (www.medicare.gov), add-ing many new features and simplify-ing the language and site navigation. For example:
The homepage now provides direct links for common tasks like ap-plying for Medicare, changing plans, calculating costs, researching what different plans cover and more.
Search for whether a specific test, item or service is covered under Original Medicare (Parts A and B).
Quick links to replace a lost Medicare card, find a Medicare Ad-vantage (Part C) or prescription drug plan (Part D).
Find doctors and other health professionals, nursing homes, hos-pitals, home health services and health/drug plans, and make side-by-side comparisons of costs and care provided.
It can be accessed on mobile
devices like tablets and smartphones, so you can seek information any-where, anytime.
Briefly, Medicare provides health care benefits to people age 65 and older and those under 65 with cer-tain disabilities or end-stage renal disease. For most people, the initial enrollment period is the seven-month period that begins three months before the month they turn 65. If you miss that window, you may enroll for the first time between January 1 and March 31 each year, although your coverage won’t begin until July 1. To apply for Medicare online, visit www.ssa.gov/medicareonly.
Medicare plans and coverage op-tions include:
Part A; helps cover inpatient hos-pital, skilled nursing facility, hospice and home health care services.
Part B; helps cover doctor’s services, outpatient care and some preventive services. It’s optional and has a monthly premium.
Part C (Medicare Advantage) – offers plans run by Medicare-approved private insurers as alter-natives to Original Medicare. Most cover prescription drugs and some include extra benefits at additional cost. You’re usually required to use the plan’s provider network.
Part D; helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. It’s optional and carries a monthly premium. These pri-vately run plans vary widely in terms of cost, copayments and deductibles and medications covered.
Some people also purchase ad-ditional Medigap (Medicare Supple-mental) insurance offered by private insurers. It follows strict government coverage guidelines and helps pay for many items not covered by Medicare, including deductibles, copayments and coinsurance.
Understanding and choosing the right Medicare options can be com-plicated and time-consuming. For assistance, call 1-800-633-4227 or read; Medicare & You; a highly de-tailed guide that explains Medicare in easy-to-understand language – it’s found at www.medicare.gov.

Story and photos by Steve WylieThe Santa Margarita Eagles had
Servite’s number last Friday and that number was zero. Zero was the num-ber of points that The Friars were able to score against the Eagles. The Friars must have missed the meeting where they should have been told that Santa Margarita had recorded two prior shut-outs in their first five games including a 72 to zero victory against Carson. Instead, the Servite team relaxed with the comforting dream that since they had beaten Santa Margarita before, they might have a good chance to do that again. They had only two chances: slim and none.
Coach Harry Welch demonstrated his team’s incredible depth and ver-satility by starting not one, but two tal-ented quarterbacks. Josh Canty com-pleted five of eight passing attempts for thirty yards. Kyle Sweet, quarterback in the second half completed six of seven passes for 36 yards, with 52 yards rushing. Ryan Wolpin ,who previously scored a new school record with six (6) rushing touchdowns, scored two more touchdowns against Servite to give him 50 career scores in 33 games. Wolpin needs only 46 more rushing yards to reach 3000 his career. Senior River Craycraft grabbed four recep-tions against Servite for 22 yards for
a total of 105 all-time receptions. He needs just four (4) more yards to pass Brad Finneran.(now Atlanta Falcons Wide Receiver) Craycraft leads the team with 27 receptions for 466 yards and five touchdowns . Safety R.J. Mazolewski ran twice for 21 yards and made 15 tackles against Servite.
Servite had the first scoring op-portunity of the game. Late in the first quarter, the Friars missed a field goal. The Eagles responded with 3:33 remaining in the first half, as Ryan Wolpin capped a 56 yard drive with a two yard dive over the goal, giving Santa Margarita a 7-0 lead. With time running out in the first half, Servite quarterback Travis Waller hit wide re-ceiver Equanimeous St. Brown with a Hail Mary pass to the Eagle eight yard line. Down to the last second, Servite tried another field goal, but Gian Carlo Spinosi raced in from the right side to block the kick. The half ended with the Eagles up, 7-0.
With less than three minutes re-maining in the third quarter, and Ser-vite facing fourth and long, the center snap sailed over the punter’s head. Eagle linebacker Tony Bone recovered the ball on the Servite 17 yard line, setting up another scoring drive. Once again, Ryan Wolpin capitalized at 1:01 with a three yard rush up the middle,
scoring his second touchdown. After Servite went three and out, the Eagles took over at their own 42 yard line and quickly marched downfield. Kyle Sweet carried the ball in from three yards out, sealing the 21-0 victory with 5:29 remaining in the game.
The eagle’s formidable defense held Servite to just 73 yards total offense. Defensive end Nick Begg sacked Servite quarterback Travis Waller twice. Opposing ball carriers
are often besieged by four or more Santa Margarita defenders delivering weapons-grade tackles.
The Eagles face the once-feared Mater Dei tonight at Saddleback Col-lege. If the Monarchs are planning to de-throne this eagle team which is the currently ranked number one team in California, and perhaps in the nation, they won’t find it easy. The excitement begins at kickoff set for 7:30 PM
Ryan Wolpin dives over the goal line to score Santa Margarita’s first of three touchdowns.
Servite wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown hauls in a Hail Mary pass late in the first half. The Friars failed to capitalize on this scoring opportunity.
