TRY THIS PROTEIN-PACKED SUBSTITUTE TO MAKE LUNCHTIME MORE NUTRITIOUS Cottage cheese is having a moment. Nutritionists and health-minded individuals have discovered that the dairy case staple can actually unlock a lot of mealtime solutions, especially when it comes to remaking recipes with a creamy base, such as tuna salad and veggie dip. Simply swap the mayonnaise, cream cheese or sour cream with high-protein cottage cheese, and it’s pretty easy to pull off a higher-protein and lower-calorie version of your lunchtime favorites, says Amy Gorin, a registered dietitian nutritionist and writer in New York City. “In many of these recipes, cottage cheese works beautifully, because it helps these delicious foods keep that creamy texture while decreasing the calories and saturated fat - and adding filling protein,” Gorin says. “It’s one of those foods that was hiding in plain sight all these years.” For best results, start with a protein-packed brand of cottage cheese. Gorin always recommends Muuna Cottage Cheese to her clients, because its Lowfat Plain variety delivers a rich and creamy texture, plus it’s high in protein (14-19g per serving), is a good source of calcium and also contains potassium. So look at your go-to breakfast, lunch and snack recipes with new

eyes, grab your blender and get creative. To get you inspired, here are five easy ways you can make the cottage cheese swap and give yourself a protein boost without going hungry. Lunch salad update Many of us have said no to delicious and classic lunch salads we love, because mayo can add fat and calories. Turn to cottage cheese to make over your favorite lunches, and you can start enjoying things like tuna salad and potato salad, plus you’ll love that boost of protein. On toast Simplify your lunch hour and use cottage cheese as a creamy base for your favorite whole-grain toast, and then stack on yummy, vitaminpacked extras, like salad greens and sliced mangos, or even strawberries and avocado. A Greek yogurt-cup alternative For a quick on-the-go snack or lunch side, Muuna has reimagined cottage cheese into single-serve cups with real pieces of fruit on the bottom, packed with 15 grams of protein, including strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, peach and mango. Smoothies reimagined Swap out the yogurt and try using cottage cheese as a protein base for your favorite smoothie recipe. What you’ll have is a thick and creamy

breakfast, likely with more protein than sugar. Dip without the guilt Kids and adults love how flavorful, creamy dips and dressings can liven up cut-up vegetables like carrots and broccoli. Sub in cottage cheese for mayo or sour cream to lower the calories and fat - and to amp up the

protein and make the snack more filling and fueling. This super-simple, reimagined ranch dressing not only adds flavor to your crudites, it brings protein power to your lunchbox or your child’s. For recipes and more inspiration, visit http://muuna.com/recipes/. - (BPT)

FINAL JURYING FOR 2019 FESTIVAL OF ARTS FINE ARTS SHOW

This past weekend nearly 150 Orange County artists, who qualified for the second round of jurying, brought their artwork to Laguna Beach for a chance to be part of the 2019 Festival of Arts Fine Art Show. Voted one of the top five art festivals in the nation, the Festival of Arts is a prestigious, highly competitive, regional juried fine art show featuring original artwork by Orange County’s finest artists. The 2019 show will run July 5 – August 31, 2019. “The Festival exhibit jurors are extremely committed to putting together a fantastic art show this summer,” said Festival Exhibits Director Ron Morrissette. “They have a very difficult job given the artwork showcased this weekend presented by some of the best talent in Orange County.” A group of five jurors (and one alternate) scored the submitted artwork based on quality, intention and content; excellence of craftsmanship; facility with media; excellence in the use of design elements; and professional presentation. From these scores, the top 45 will join the 95 artists already invited back from the 2018 show to display their artwork this summer at the Festival of Arts Fine Arts Show.

FINE HAND CRAFTED GAME TABLES & FURNITURE “The first time I saw Sean Woolsey’s ping pong table it was in his studio and I was struck by the craftsmanship and artistry. I feel the same way two years later. It is absolutely beautiful. The photos on his website don’t do it justice.” Fred Crim, Huntington Beach, CA At Sean Woolsey Studio we know that the only way to build really fine furniture is to use time-proven wood crafting techniques. Yet we use design technology and lasting coatings, glues, and other products of the 21st century. The creative process melds two eras yielding exquisite, select furnishings for home or office. Our standard is to not take short cuts used in mass production. We craft individual furniture pieces and game tables in the detail focused way of the past masters who have left a legacy. While a picture may be worth a thousand words there is nothing like seeing our pieces in person. Once you do, we believe it will be apparent there is a marked difference in quality and craftsmanship in a piece from Sean Woolsey Studio. So if you are considering acquiring something new and special to add to your home or office we welcome you to come see for yourself. You will walk away with a new appreciation of true craftsmanship.

Please call us today to set up a time to preview our works. 714-757-7115 Sean Woolsey

CONFIDENCE-BOOSTING TIPS FOR FITNESS CLASS FIRST-TIMERS

You’ve joined a health club and now you’re curious about fitness classes. You’re almost ready to sign up for an indoor cycle, yoga or strength-training class, but something stops you. You feel nervous and uncomfortable and decide to wait. Group fitness classes are a fantastic way to exercise because you’re guided by an expert, plus the energy of the group keeps you motivated. However, because it’s something new that puts people outside their comfort zone, it’s common to feel apprehensive in the beginning. To help you gain confidence to try any type of group exercise class, consider these tips from three health club members. Comfort over style. “Trust me, no one cares what you’re wearing,” says Deb Kampe, a member at Life Time, which operates 122 destinations across the United States and in Canada. “If you want to wear gym shorts and a T-shirt, do it. Head-totoe athleisure? Do it. A tutu? Do it. Just make sure you’re comfortable and safe. Don’t spend a fortune on the latest fitness clothing trends or labels. Expensive does not equal better.” Don’t be self-conscious. “It’s easy to assume everyone in class is fit, knows all the moves and is judging you. No one cares,” Kampe says. “Once the music starts and the instructor begins, all eyes are up front taking direction and being lifted into the moment.” Everyone was a newbie. “Everyone was a first-timer at some point, so they know how it feels,” says Dustin

Meriwether, member at Life Time. “They’re not going to judge you for it, and many - hopefully all - will be willing to answer any questions and help in any other way.” Instructors want to assist. “All instructors - and other members - want to help you,” says Kelby Mezzenga, member at Life Time. “So just walk in and let the instructor know you are new or have a question. That welcoming feeling takes the edge off and chances are, you’ll have met a new friend.” Keep an open mind. “Group fitness classes are designed to challenge you and take you out of your comfort zone. You may be unfamiliar with the equipment you’ll use or how hard it might be, but I guarantee you will feel the burn,” Mezzenga says. Listen to your body. “You know your body best,” says Meriwether. “If something doesn’t feel right or if you know you have problems with something, modify the workout correspondingly. People do that all the time and many instructors

are good about suggesting such modifications.” Give it 100 percent. “You get out what you put in,” Meriwether says. “If you put in minimal effort, you can expect minimal results. But if you give it your all, you can expect some pretty fantastic fitness changes.” Bring water. Hydration is important, but you don’t need to worry about anything else. “Life Time has everything you’ll need for any class, from yoga mats to towels,” says Mezzenga. Celebrate victories “During the cool-down and stretching segment of class, take a moment to celebrate your victory,” says Kampe. “Look around, everyone no matter what their age and ability will beseriously sweaty, all there with you sharing the same endorphins. Take that feeling with you and own it. Then look at the class schedule and commit to another one.” For more information about group fitness, visit www.lifetimefitness.com. - (BPT)

LOCAL TEENAGE ENTREPRENEUR MADISON CHAPPELL INVENTS APP THAT WILL GROW THE YOGA INDUSTRY AND ENABLE MORE PEOPLE TO ENJOY YOGA A teenage health enthusiast has come up with an innovative way for more Orange County residents to enjoy the benefits of yoga. Madison Chappell, 19, of Laguna Hills, says the new technology will also help local yoga professionals grow their business. With yoga once the 4th fastest growing industry in the United States and still rapidly growing, Madison realized there needed to be a simpler way for thousands of enthusiasts to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of the exercise. As a trained instructor herself, she was becoming frustrated with the number of studios trying to outcompete each other - leaving instructors fighting for work on lower rates, while attendees saw classes become overcrowded or harder to book. It led to her developing FitNFlow, a new app that allows people to book an instructor to come to their home, workplace, park, or any place and time that suits them. “A 2016 Yoga Alliance Study found that the #1 place for Americans to practice yoga is in their own home. I thought there must be something there, and made the FitNFlow app so yoga enthusiasts can book an in-person yoga instructor to come to

them at their convenience,” explained Madison. “Also, I noticed a lot of the women I met taking my yoga classes will come with friends but it was often hard for them to align their schedule to the class. FitNFlow will enable them to have their own private instructor at a place and time they want – say the beach, the park, or even in their garage! Practicing at home alone can be hard and you can lose motivation. It’s important to have a professional ensure you are doing the right thing.” Within a week of announcing the app, Madison had 60 yoga instructors apply to be part of the service. It’s a simple process where they can create a profile, specify their rates and credentials and their availability. However, Madison and her team verify each instructor before they are accepted as a yoga instructor on the app. “With just some initial outreach we were amazed to see such a huge response from instructors,” said Madison. “Now we just need to spread the word so that local people can enjoy the service too.” The young entrepreneur is a strong advocate for fellow teachers as she has seen many struggle to find work. Most yoga instructors are female, aged between 20 and 50, and often

mothers. “Because yoga studios or gyms only provide a few class slots, most yoga instructors have to get scheduled for classes in 10 different studios to be able make a decent living. When the demand for yoga jobs is so high, this can be next to impossible,” said Madison. “We had a teacher gathering not too long ago, and out of all the yoga instructors who showed up 75% were single mothers. I know FitNFlow will definitely help them which makes me proud.” The new FitNFlow app is now available free to the public in the iTunes App store here. Professional yoga instructors interested in joining the service can download the app and create an instructor profile. Those interested in receiving yoga instruction can view instructors in their area, find an instructor available at the time and place best for them, book and message their instructor all in one place. A review on Facebook from one of our users: “You know that feeling you get when you see something that looks so amazing, that your mind automatically assumes you can’t afford it? That was my initial reaction to FitnFlow, cause who wouldn’t love the convenience, comfort, and

Madison Chappell accountability of having your own yoga instructor come to your door! To put it simply, the one on one yoga session was MUCH more affordable than I thought it would be, the instructor was very sweet and knowledgeable, and I have no doubt I’ll be able to get back into shape with FitnFlow along my side. You’ll love it!” –Daniel Juarez FitNFlow: The FitNFlow app is a platform to connect yoga instructors to those looking for their service. Clients can book a class for the time and place they want. We aim to transform the yoga experience while maintaining the important instructorclient relationship.

5 WAYS TO JUMP-START YOUR HEART HEALTH

If you’re looking to improve your heart health, each day is all about making a choice that moves you in the right direction. You’d rather stay in with a big bowl of ice cream. But maybe today, you could click off the TV set and take a walk with a friend. It’s easy to see why heart health is a pressing concern. One in three adults live with one or more types of cardiovascular disease, according a review published in the journal Circulation. Over time, changes in the heart and blood vessels can lead to a host of devastating problems, including heart attack, heart failure and stroke. On top of that, lifestyle factors, such as poor diet and a lack of physical activity, lead to one in five deaths in the U.S., according to a study published in 2011 in the Journal of Public Health. The good news is as the weeks and months pass, these healthy choices Page 6

do pay off and make meaningful shifts in your health profile. Turning these choices into habits is well worth the time and effort. Choice by choice, you could see big improvements. 1. Reach for whole foods Diets abound, but the classic Mediterranean-based diet always comes up as a winner for heart health. It’s simple to follow because it’s made up of whole, healthy foods, like fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, olive oil and fish. In 2013, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine said switching to a Mediterranean diet can prevent 30 percent of heart attacks, strokes and heart disease deaths in high-risk people. 2. Get up and move more often The Surgeon General says 2.5 hours of moderate intensity exercise each week promotes good heart health. To get started, visit your doctor to find out what is safe for you. Then work activities you enjoy into your routine, whether it’s a walk in the woods, a leisurely bike ride or swimming laps at the community pool. 3. Seek the company of others This may not come up at the doctor’s office, but the time we spend with friends and family does reward

The Newport News

us with better heart health. Isolation is linked to depression and that’s linked to higher rates of heart disease. Pick up the phone and call someone. Schedule lunch with an old friend, plan a special day with younger relatives or sign up for an activity. 4. De-stress and decompress If you constantly feel the effects of stress in your body, it may be time to take steps to reverse that. Scientists haven’t found definitive proof, but they believe stress could trigger inflammation, a precursor to heart disease. So go ahead, and seek some joy: Laughter releases “good” HDL cholesterol. Exercise is also a proven stress buster, and studies show a mindfulness mediation practice reduces blood pressure. 5. Know your risks Hopefully, you’re already making those annual doctor visits because your blood sugar, blood pressure, weight and cholesterol can all tell us something about our heart health. But what you really want to know is whether there is fatty buildup in your arteries, because toocan lead to stroke, peripheral vascular disease and carotid artery stenosis. Doctor office tests offer indicators and warning signs, but they don’t tell you how much you’re blocked.

Luckily, there’s a safe and affordable test that gives you the hard data on what is happening inside your body: vascular screening. If you think learning the truth will discourage you, one study indicates the opposite may be true. The report published in the Journal of Community Medicine and Health Education says people who had vascular screening reported more positive changes to their health several months after their vascular screening than the control subjects who weren’t screened. For example, 61 percent of screened respondents said they ate healthier foods since the screening, versus the 46 percent who were not screened. Truth is empowering and it can give people a powerful incentive to change, even if the news isn’t what you’re hoping to hear. To get your own vascular test, find out when Life Line Screening is coming to your community. You’ll get a results pack you can take to your doctor, so you can work on a plan together to improve your health. To find out when a Life Line screening clinic may be scheduled in your area, visit www.lifelinescreening. com or call (877) 754-9631. - (BPT)

RED CROSS ISSUES EMERGENCY CALL FOR BLOOD DONORS A donation shortfall over the winter holidays is prompting the American Red Cross to issue an emergency call for blood and platelet donors to give now to prevent a blood shortage from continuing throughout winter and affecting patient care. The Red Cross collected more than 27,000 fewer blood and platelet donations the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s than needed to sustain a sufficient blood supply. During this period, about 1,350 fewer blood drives were hosted by volunteer sponsor groups than required to meet patient needs as busy holiday schedules kept many donors away. “Many people may not realize that blood products are perishable, and the only source of lifesaving blood for patients is volunteer blood donors,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Biomedical Services. “When donations decline – as they did around the holidays and may further decline if severe winter weather and flu season pick up – lifesaving medical treatments could be delayed.” Right now, the Red Cross has less than a three-day supply of most blood types on hand, well below the ideal five-day supply needed to respond to emergencies and daily hospital needs. Blood products are currently being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in. “We hope people can resolve to save lives now – when there is an emergency need – as well as throughout the year,” added Numark. All eligible donors, especially platelet donors and blood donors with type O blood, are urged to make an appointment to give in the coming days to help restock the shelves for hospital patients. Eligible donors can find a blood or platelet donation opportunity and schedule an appointment to donate by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Volunteer blood drive hosts are also critically needed to prevent the shortage from worsening this winter. Winter weather poses risk to blood supply With several weeks of winter ahead, severe winter weather poses an additional threat to an already low blood supply. Snow, ice and extreme temperatures last January and February forced hundreds of blood drive cancellations, causing about 23,000 blood and platelet donations to go uncollected. In December, winter weather resulted in nearly twice the number of uncollected blood and platelet donations as December 2017. Who blood donations help In May 2018, 4-year-old Branson Gibby was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare type

of childhood cancer that affects certain types of nerve tissue after complaining of pain in his arms and legs and running a fever. After many tests, his mother, Erica Austin, was given the news that no mother ever wants to hear: her son had cancer. Branson’s 18-month treatment plan includes many rounds of grueling chemotherapy, surgery to remove the tumor near his kidney and spinal cord, stem cell transplants, and possibly radiation. He has already endured several lengthy hospital stays and began receiving the first of his stem cell transplants this fall. Since his diagnosis, Branson has received 12 blood and 11 platelet transfusions. Of the transfusions, Austin said, “They have been so important to keep him as healthy, active and battle-ready, as possible. This is the hardest thing our family has ever faced. However, there is hope in the generosity of strangers who are helping to heal my brave boy. Blood and platelet donations truly are the gift of life.” How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their predonation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive.

3 TIPS FOR COOKING UP A HEALTHY NEW YEAR

After a holiday season filled with indulgent food and limited time for exercise, there’s no time like the New Year to adopt some new, healthy habits. These additional tips can help you get a healthy start to the New Year: Change up your routine. Start by making a few lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthier diet or increasing your exercise regimen. Maybe you’d like to shed a few pounds or tone up before the weather gets warmer. Changing up your eating (and drinking) habits can be the first step on the path to success. Start at the tap. Make sure your healthy eating habits include cooking with the best-tasting water possible. You may be surprised to know that the water coming from your faucet may contain unwanted contaminants such as lead and mercury. That means you could be washing your fruits and vegetables or making soups and smoothies with water that contains impurities. Contrary to what some people may think, boiling water does not completely remove certain contaminants like lead from water. “Drinking water daily is an important component to staying healthy, as water keeps you hydrated, aids in digestion and transports

vitamins and other nutrients. I prefer drinking filtered water to make sure I avoid potentially unwanted contaminants,” said Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian, nutritionist and PUR spokesperson. “I recommend installing a faucet filtration system that won’t break the bank, such as the PUR Advanced Faucet Filtration System, for a superior, on-demand solution for clean, healthy and greattasting water right from the tap.” Visit PUR.com to learn more about superior faucet filtration systems and how to get cleaner, better-tasting water. Create healthy, hearty recipes. There are plenty of delicious and nutritious recipes that can help fuel your body all year long. For example, this hearty soup is full of tasty, powerful ingredients like protein-rich chicken sausage; nutrient-dense kale and butternut squash, which are excellent sources of fiber; plus vitamins and minerals. Garlic, onions and cloves add a kick of antioxidants and flavor. White Bean Soup with Spicy Chorizo Recipe courtesy of Keri Glassman Cook time: 30 minutes Servings: 1 4 cups kale, chopped

1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 can (14 ounces) cannellini beans, drained 2 cups PUR filtered water, plus additional for rinsing 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 links precooked chicken sausage, diced 3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Rinse kale, squash and cannellini beans in filtered water. Set aside. In pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic, stirring frequently until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sausage and saute 2 minutes, or until warmed through and slightly browned. Add squash, kale, broth and 2 cups filtered water. Cook, partially covered, 15-20 minutes, or until squash is softened. Reduce heat to low. Add beans and gently simmer uncovered 3 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, before serving.

A FOUR-POINT PLAN FOR JOINT HEALTH KEEP ON CRUISING WITH A REGULAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR YOUR JOINTS Whether it’s a brand-new Bentley or a classic 1970 Mustang, most people have a car they dream about. If they’re lucky enough to own it someday, you better believe they’re going to take care of it. Regular maintenance is an essential part of keeping a vehicle in tip-top shape. The same is true of the human body, particularly the joints. “Prevention is the only thing that actually prolongs the health of your joints, similar to the care of a machine,” says Matt Johnson, health and performance expert and president of On Target Living. “If you want something to last as long as possible, and to cost as little as possible over the long run, you have to do maintenance, checkups, and change the oil. Taking care of your body is no different. If you do, your joints can last until you’re 80, 90, or even 100 without tendon or ligament issues.” Johnson notes that joint issues are some of the most common concerns

he sees in his practice. These issues can happen at any age, although many start to manifest between the ages of 40 and 50, after years of wear and tear cause pain and inflammation. Johnson’s mantra: If you take care of the body it will take care of you. To help people of any age maintain joint health, he provides this four-point joint maintenance plan. 1. Rest The first part of healing the joints is to rest the joints. Massage, meditation, light yoga, stretching, and cool baths are great ways to rest the joints. Additionally, quality sleep each night is essential. (Quick tip: Take an epsom salt bath once a week.) 2. Healing Nutrients Studies show that omega-3 fats can help support joint health by limiting inflammation after exercise and boosting hormones that help the body heal. Take a daily, high-quality omega-3 supplement like Nordic Naturals that has been third-party

tested for purity, and is known for its great, non-fishy taste. 3. Superfoods Superfood herbs and spices help the body get maximum nutrients in minimal amounts. For example, curcumin and bromelain are both great for helping joint pain and repair. Remember, limited processing of the product is ideal for optimal absorption. 4. Exercise and body alignment You can’t have optimal joint function if the body is out of alignment. There

are five key joint checkpoints: ankle, knee, hip, shoulder and neck. This is where you start to achieve perfect posture, after which you can focus on strengthening the large muscles. “The best age is always now,” says Johnson. “Start as soon as possible and think about it like you take care of a car or nice jewelry. Joints are meant to last as long as you live. The key is to take care of them with quality nutrition, normal exercise, and adequate rest.” - (BPT)

KIDWORKS FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS LUNCHEON RAISES MORE THAN $750,000

Steven L. Craig with Terry Donahue, Mike Harrah, David Pyle and Pat A recording-breaking 440 plus guests, including many Orange County Donahue community leaders and philanthropists, filled the ballroom at the Doubletree Hotel, Santa Ana for the 2018 edition of the annual KidWorks’ Foundation for Success (FFS) Luncheon. The event raised more than $750,000 to help fund afterschool education and leadership development programs conducted by the nonprofit headquartered in central Santa Ana. Since its inception in 2007, KidWorks’ annual Foundation for Success event has raised more than $6.5 million to support the program that includes academic enrichment, tutoring, leadership development, and college readiness programs at the KidWorks Dan Donahue Center. The legacy of late KidWorks benefactor Dan Donahue continued at the event with many of his namesake Uncle Dan Bears available for purchase to help fund KidWorks programs. This year, the event had a decidedly academic vibe as the popular soft, stuffed teddy bears were wearing t-shirts featuring the universities and colleges KidWorks students are currently attending. Guests could purchase them and/or to bid on a number of silent auction items – all to add to the day’s fundraising total. Hearty salads were the fare of the day to nourish guests. Iced tea was the beverage of choice. Emcee Ed Arnold kept the program on track introducing a new KidWorks video and later introducing the day’s speakers. Pat Donahue, president and Lance Bell, John Gorey and Ruben Mendoza CEO of Donahue Schriber and long-time friend of KidWorks introduced this year’s recipient of the prestigious 2018 Dan Donahue Leadership Award Steven L. Craig. He’s the president and CEO of Craig Realty Group, a factory outlet shopping center development firm founded in 1995 in Newport Beach that operates 14 outlet centers in nine states, including the Citadel Outlets in Los Angeles, Outlets at Barstow and Outlets at San Clemente, which is the first and only ocean-facing outdoor shopping and dining destination in Orange County. “We were honored to present this very special award to Steve in recognition of his longtime support of KidWorks’ youth and families,” said David Benavides. KidWorks’ Executive Director. “His service to KidWorks as a Board member, chairman of the Advisory Council, and past chairman of the annual luncheon is exemplary. His vision and leadership have elevated the annual luncheon to a whole new level, which has been so important as it raises the majority of KidWorks’ annual after school program budget.” “Dollar for dollar, it’s clear that KidWorks makes the biggest impact on the lives of Santa Ana youth,” said Craig. “Our future is tied to their future – these young people will grow up to be our fellow neighbors, friends and leaders. With KidWorks the results speak for themselves.” Keynote speaker Cory Hahn is a highly touted Mater Dei High School Natalie Pickup and Cory Hahn with Jany Darnell baseball player who was paralyzed from the chest down sliding into second base as a freshman at Arizona State University in 2011. In recognition of his unwavering spirit despite his grave injury that ended his dream of playing Major League Baseball, the Arizona Diamondbacks drafted Hahn in the 34th round of the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft and two years later the team named their annual 34th-round draft selection the “Cory Hahn 34th Pick.” After graduating from ASU in 2014, the D-backs hired Hahn in the organization’s scouting department where he serves as Coordinator of Professional Scouting. Hahn’s motivational message of overcoming adversity credited a team of doctors, friends, family, and colleagues who rallied around him to lend their support. He likened this to the many KidWorks donors and supporters who attended the luncheon and stressed the importance of them partnering with KidWorks to help our students achieve their dreams. The Foundation for Success luncheon would not be possible without the generosity of our presenting sponsors: American Career College, West Coast University, Caribou Industries, Heidi & Ruben Mendoza, Bank of America, Craig Realty Group, and Steven L. Craig. Other key sponsors were Donahue Schriber and the Gregory and Stacey Brown Family Charitable Fund. To learn more about KidWorks and to read its success stories, please visit www.kidworksoc.org.

CELEBRATE WITH DOM PERIGNON FRENCH CHAMPAGNE

The cellar master who brought Dom Perignon Champagne to great brilliance is Richard Geoffroy, with the winery since 1990 and who just retired with the 2008 vintage Legacy Limited Edition, was awarded the #5 wine in the world by Wine Spectator for 2018.

ANYTHING THAT IS CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION: A BIRTHDAY, AN ANNIVERSARY, A NEW JOB, WINNING THE LOTTERY, A NEW MARRIAGE OR JUST ANOTHER DAY OF LIVING, CALLS FOR POPPING A CORK AND SIPPING SOME FRENCH CHAMPAGNE, OR COUNTLESS OTHER BUBBLY WINES. In my column a few weeks back, I reported that in my review of THE MED at the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, the first drink they served was the new release 2008 Dom Perignon ($180.) from Champagne France, home of all true Champagnes. Prior to that, I was never a sparkling wine drinker, due to real or imagined “headaches.” After one sip of this elegance, masterful beverage, I became a follower of Dom Perignon. Vivid acidity is the hallmark of this wining champagne. Weather played a major role in its extraordinary finish with a cool early summer and a hot, sunny season in September. ”Legacy Limited Edition” was added to the label to celebrate Geoffroy’s retirement at the top of his game.

kumquat, pastry cream, candied ginger and poached plum. An underpinning of smoky mineral, gains momentum on the lasting finish.” This is a Brut Champagne which denotes a dry to very dry style with a luminous gold look to the beverage. Only 3 kinds of grapes are allowed to be converted to Champagne. All are French. They are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Menier. The complicated process of “double fermentation” to achieve the “tiny bubbles” effect was perfected by Dom Perignon, a winemaker from the house of Moet and Chandon in the 17th century. He is considered one of the great figures in the world of Champagne. The Champagne region is its own appellation by the same name and is the only region that can use the word Champagne for its wines.

The explosive “pop” of the cork, all the bubbles (some say in excess of one million per bottle, but who’s counting) and the image of Champagne as a celebratory drink, all point to it as exclusively a party bottle, but that’s not so. It goes very well with food. From omelets to caviar to smoked salmon, Champagne and other sparkling wines should be the only Wine Spectator’s descriptive declared choice. Blue cheese is also a delight. it to be “powerful yet graceful with Recently, at a pre new year’s dinner, vivid acidity, swathed in a fine, creamy Vittorio’s in Carmel Valley San Diego mousse and flavors of toasted brioche,

Charles Heidsieck Champagne Brut was the

bottle with the biggest buzz, with the reasonable price of just $60. Vittorio’s next event will be headlined by Beaulieu Vineyard Thursday January 31 at 6pm. RSVP at 1-858538-5884. For more Dom Perignon info, go to domperignon.com.

PAY LESS TO ADVERTISE TO REACH THE HIGH INCOME HOMEOWNERS OF NEWPORT BEACH, BALBOA, CORONA DEL MAR, AND NEWPORT COAST WHO WOULD LIKE TO BUY FROM YOU 1. Newport News Readers can afford your very best! According to reliable sources such as the U.S. census bureau the area served by the Newport News is one of Orange County’s highest income groups. These affluent nearby homeowners in Newport Beach, Balboa, Corona del Mar, and Newport Coast have more money to spend and the time to spend it. Make sure that these readers are aware of your company and what you do by keeping a regular, affordable advertising message in the newspaper that all of them read every week 2.Why pay more to reach your most preferred customers? Smart business owners and marketing experts agree that the most expensive advertising is advertising that doesn’t work. Savvy business managers are wise to be concerned about high volume publications that don’t deliver a strong local audience that would bring you customers. Major daily newspapers like the Times and the Register reach nearly a million readers, but do you really need to pay their high prices to reach your customers in Newport News? While some glossy monthly magazines are stylish, their costly rates may not be realistic compared to choosing a highly effective newspaper like the Newport News which is received by your most likely preferred customers of high income homeowners with advertising that costs you far less money. The Newport News is attractive, effective and affordable. 3. Why do Newport News Readers read the Newport News? Since 1907 The Newport News has been the favorite weekly publication of Newport Beach.

On July 15, 1997, the Superior Court of Orange County adjudicated (approved) The Newport News as the official newspaper for The City of Newport Beach and the County or Orange. That’s why you regularly see stories about the Newport News Chamber of Commerce, and prominent Newport News residents in the Newport News. So when you advertise In the Newport News you get the most popular weekly for Newport Beach readers. 4.U S Post office plus selected delivery makes this newspaper special! While everyone knows that the Newport News is delivered to nearly every single family residence in Newport Coast by the United States Post office, the Newport News is also hand-delivered each week to local Newport News area businesses, professional offices, library, and several centrally located news racks other popular gathering spots where Newport News residents can easily pick up a copy. 5.Who is this woman that raises hundreds of millions of dollars and how can she help me grow my business? If you don’t know her already, get to know Kelly Bennett, the top society columnist in Orange County. She also has the top rated radio show and television program “Breakfast with Gary and Kelly. Readers eagerly await her weekly column in the Newport News which features

major charity events where the beautiful people of Orange County gather for fashionable luncheons and dinners which regularly raise millions of dollars for worthy causes. Permit us to say that placing your advertising where it is seen by people who can afford to give away millions is the best advertising purchase you will ever make. Read Kelly Bennett’s “Society Scene “column every week in the Newport News and see why. 6. Free Online Advertising Newport News Version each week. While many people still prefer to have a hard copy of the Newport News to hold in their hand, our online version is equally popular for those who want to access our entire newspaper on their smartphone, tablet or computer. Your regular ad will appear in our online edition at no extra charge. Just click on the Thenewportnews.com. 7. How Fast Will this Home be sold? We’d like to share some actual quotes from local Newport News area realtors: BUYERS CAME IN WAVING the ad that appeared in the Newport News.” Two factors determine how fast a house will sell: 1.Choose a skilled real estate professional 2. Advertise it in the Newport News Whether you are selling homes or other desirable goods or services you should consider the Newport News for your advertising.

HISTORIC MINING HOTEL NOW FABULOUS MANSION!

Steeped in Americana, the Little Daisy Hotel in Jerome, Arizona built by speculator-turned-billionaire and copper-miner, Rawhide Jimmy Douglas, is now for sale reimagined as a private mansion. Poised and ready to celebrate its 100th birthday with laser light shows by the local community to honor the town’s frontier history, the former hotel is listed at $6.2 million. Son of a Canadian copper miner, Jimmy struck out as a young boy trying everything from homesteading to farming strawberries. When his father needed his help in overseeing projects in his growing copper business, Jimmy learned a lot about the industry and became known as Rawhide Jimmy by the miners. Jimmy displayed a talent for picking good mining locations, which he learned from his father. While on one of his work trips between Mexico and Arizona in 1912, he came across a mine in Jerome that had been shut down due to lack of production. However, his assaying skills told him there had to be a motherlode of copper hiding beneath the hills. On what most called wild speculation, Jimmy bought the mine naming it Little Daisy. It wasn’t long before he hit that motherlode and put Jerome on the map as one of the largest copper deposits in the country. In 1919, Jimmy built the 40-room

Page 16

Little Daisy Hotel where he housed many of the miners. The Little Daisy Mine made Jimmy a billionaire, but when the production of the mine eventually dwindled after World War II, he shut it down in 1953. Jimmy then sold the hotel to William Earl Bell, the man who created the world’s first atomic clock. In 1995, the Bell family sold the mine to its current owners, Walter and Lisa Acker, as a rundown shell of a building. The Ackers spent nine years restoring and updating the property with deep respect for its history while enhancing its architectural features and adding high-end upgrades. It is only with the recent untimely passing of her husband that Lisa decided to sell their beloved home. Sited on 3.45 acres high above the town with panoramic views of the area’s hills and valleys, the new layout has an extensive master wing and a guest wing with a total of eight bedrooms and seven baths. Encompassing 12,000 square feet of climate-controlled living space, there are 2,900 square feet of interior porches, a rooftop garden of 9,000 square feet and four garages/ workshop totalling 2,600 square feet. The grand entrance still retains its reception/check-in desk as a token of its illustrious past. The main floor, with its tall arched floor-to-ceiling perimeter windows and high ceilings

The Newport News

houses the formal rooms that open to porches and terraces for lounging or enjoying alfresco dining. There are fireplaces throughout, a game room, home theater, wine cellar, bar, large kitchen that opens to a private terrace, phone booth, and an office and craft/sewing room. Porches surround the structure for commanding views from almost every room. Even with the large size of the rooms, the architecture and quality of the restoration make each room’s atmosphere warm and inviting. Jerome, about 100 miles

north of Phoenix, has become a popular tourism destination with art galleries, history tours and a state park. The Little Daisy, once an upscale frontier hotel servicing the mining industry now morphed into a palatial residence, is listed at $6.2 million. The listing agent is Donna Chesler of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, Sedona, Arizona. Photos by: Russ Lyon Sotheby’s Source: Thelittledaisyjerome.com, toptenrealestatedeals.com

HERITAGE POINTE HOSTS “ONE NIGHT TO REMEMBER” Photos by Ann Chatillon Heritage Pointe, well-known for its unparalleled residential community providing Independent, Assisted Living, and Memory Care Services for seniors, hosted its Inaugural Community Concert “One Night To Remember” at City National Grove in Anaheim to rave reviews! Close to 250 guests were in attendance at this Concert, which was both musically inspiring and spiritually uplifting, hallmarks of both headlining performers, the well-known A Capella Group The Maccabeats, and singer-songwriter of acoustic pop music Todd Herzog. “Every year for our major fundraiser we endeavor to engage the entire Orange County community in the venue we select, hoping it will appeal to a broad spectrum of the community,” stated Mike Silverman, CEO of Heritage Pointe. The evening commenced with an elegant VIP Reception at 4:00 p.m., followed by the Community Concert and Dinner from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Students from Irvine Hebrew Day School were on hand to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and to sing Ha Tikvah, the National Anthem of Israel. By combining powerful songwriting with clear vocals that express the true measure of his lyrics, Todd Herzog is reminiscent of Jason Mraz, Michael Buble, Five for Fighting, and Bono. He has an uncanny ability to tell a story that is both profound and intensely personal to his listeners, while remaining approachable and easy listening. Todd writes acoustical pop music that feels intimate and immediate, leaving the listener with a sense that a certain song had been written just for them. As a surprise to guests, Herzog performed a special song he had written for the occasion entitled “L’dor Vador – Heritage Pointe,” with violin accompaniment performed by Heritage Pointe’s own Beth Slavin! The Maccabeats have also earned wide renowned for their exceptional storytelling. Originally a student vocal group at New York’s Yeshiva University, they now have performed all over the world. With a stage appearance that resembles a college yearbook from decades ago, their clean-cut presentation is as inviting as their infectious sense of humor, evident in their songwriting and parodies of many popular contemporary hits. Voted Best Retirement Facility/Independent Living in Orange County, and One of the Top Three Independent, Assisted Living and Memory Care Facilities in Orange County Best of Orange County 2018, Heritage Pointe is a nonprofit residential community for seniors in Mission Viejo, California. For almost 30 years, Heritage Pointe has offered a safe and secure living environment, where Residents can live life to its fullest, surrounded by well-trained and compassionate caregivers. Its highly-acclaimed ZEST FOR LEARNING Program, which believes you are never too old to learn because learning is a lifelong adventure, offers Residents, family members, and interested community supporters an exceptional wealth of educational activities and experiences.
