PACIFIC SYMPHONY ANNOUNCES FIRST-EVER TOUR TO CHINA
Music Director Carl St.Clair to Conduct Symphony in Five Cultural Centers, May 9-15, 2018
Carl St.Clair
Pinchas Zukerman
Pacific Symphony today announced the details of its first-ever tour to China and first international tour since the Symphony toured European capitals in 2006. The five-city tour launches May 9, 2018 with a concert at the Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre, followed by performances in Hefei (capital of Anhui province), Wuxi (Jiangsu province), Chongqing (major city in southwest China), and Beijing. The final concert takes place at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, colloquially known as “The Giant Egg” due to its distinctive dome-shaped, titanium and glass architecture. The Symphony’s tour will include works by Leonard Bernstein in celebration of his centennial, as well as Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe, Suite No. 2; Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky (arranged by Ravel); and Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3, featuring soloist Pinchas Zukerman. The visit to China follows another important tour this season to New York City for the Orchestra’s Carnegie Hall debut on April 21, 2018. “We are gratified to represent Southern California on this highly anticipated tour,” says Pacific Symphony Music Director Carl St.Clair. “This is an artistic milestone Page 4
for the orchestra, and I couldn’t be more pleased to be leading this exceptional group of musicians on its first tour to China. This is an artistically significant opportunity for Pacific Symphony to embrace cultural diplomacy and to carry the message of music’s universality across the ocean to the other side of the Pacific Rim. The halls we will be playing have all been built within the last ten years. Some of the world’s leading architects have created contemporary temples of music with stunning acoustics that will beautifully showcase the fine playing of our musicians.” Carl St.Clair, who was personally mentored by Leonard Bernstein, will present works in honor of the composer’s centennial. “I have carefully selected the repertoire for this tour to include quintessential American works such as Bernstein’s ‘Slava!,’ ‘Mambo’ and Overture to ‘Candide,’ which show off Pacific Symphony’s energetic spirit and warm sonority.” He continued, “Additionally, we will be performing 18th-, 19thand 20th-century masterworks by Mozart, Mussorgsky and Ravel that display Pacific Symphony’s incredible versatility and virtuosity.” Pacific Symphony President John
The Ladera Ranch News
Forsyte said: “We are proud of the role we will be playing as cultural ambassadors for Orange County and the community. As Pacific Symphony looks forward to its 40th anniversary next season, we are gratified by the support we have received from the diverse communities of Orange County over the decades. The county’s Asian-American population is the third largest in the country, and the Chinese community in particular has experienced explosive growth. Since 2013 we have been devoted to engaging with the Chinese communities of the region and building on their enthusiasm for symphonic music. Crossing the Pacific Rim to perform for the Chinese population on the mainland is the logical extension of the work we’ve been doing here in Orange County.” Longtime Pacific Symphony supporters Sandy Segerstrom Daniels and Sally Segerstrom have provided a major lead gift in support of the tour. “The Segerstrom family have been generous patrons throughout the 40-year history of Pacific Symphony. This latest gift is yet another example of their undying generous spirit and ongoing commitment to the unparalleled quality of life in Southern
California. The institution is grateful to Sandy Segerstrom Daniels and Sally Segerstrom for their visionary commitment as lead sponsors of the tour,” commented Joann Leatherby, board chairman. “We are proud to have the opportunity to represent Orange County’s vibrant cultural arts scene to audiences across China.” Pacific Symphony is also announcing it has received a dollarfor-dollar match up to $150,000 to support the tour from Overseas Business Consulting, Inc. Gifts designated to support the tour and received prior to April 30 will qualify for this match. Pinchas Zukerman’s appearances with Pacific Symphony on tour have been generously underwritten by Jerry and Terri Kohl. Additional major support for the tour is provided by Charles and Ling Zhang. Pacific Symphony will be offering a patron tour to China that will include opportunities to customize experiences on the tour. Patrons will engage with musicians in unique cultural setting throughout the tour. More information and pricing will be available in February 2018. Patrons should contact Gary Good at 714876-2360 for further information

Simple Solutions to Combat Winter Skin Sensitivity (Family Features) The winter season is here, and it’s important to get in the habit of taking care of your skin. Cold weather brings low humidity levels and dry air, which can suck the moisture from your skin, and without proper care, skin can become dry, cracked and irritated, causing discomfort. This winter, focus on a regimen that helps protect and hydrate skin so you can spend time enjoying the benefits of winter like family game night, snow days and snuggling by the fire. Prepare your family for cold weather with these simple tips that can be easily incorporated into your family’s daily routine, keeping skin feeling soft and healthy all winter long. Hydrate Inside and Out. Staying hydrated during the hot, summer months is a given, but it is also important to remember that cold winter air can leave your skin parched. Use a humidifier to keep skin hydrated during the dry months and be sure to lather on moisturizer. Natural moisturizers like coconut oil and shea butter can act as protective barriers against harsh elements, sealing in moisture. In addition to hydrating on the outside, it is just as important to stay hydrated on the inside. By drinking water throughout the day, your skin can stay healthy and moisturized. Switch to a Mild Laundry Detergent. Many common detergents can be abrasive to sensitive skin, especially when it is more vulnerable to irritation
during the harsh winter months. Wash bed linens, towels and clothes with a mild detergent like all Free Clear year-round, especially during the winter months. As the No. 1 recommended detergent brand by dermatologists, allergists and pediatricians for sensitive skin, all Free Clear includes no dyes, fragrances or irritating residues. Using the power of stainlifters to fight tough stains, it is also safe for the whole family to use, keeping laundry clean while being gentle on skin. Avoid Toxins, Specifically Allergens and Irritants. Products that contain toxins, allergens and irritants should be avoided during months when skin is most sensitive. Choose moisturizers and skin care products that don’t contain common irritants, and opt for mild cleansers and moisturizers that are specifically labeled for sensitive skin. Castor oil is another moisturizer alternative that is natural and can be used on both the face and body.
Layer Up. Lock in moisture and protect your skin from wind, rain and snow by wearing layers whenever you venture outside. The skin on your neck, face and hands is thinner than other areas of the body and therefore more sensitive to the effects of winter weather. Thermals, scarves and gloves can keep you warm and protect your skin from the cold, dry air. For those with sensitive skin, avoid synthetic fabrics and itchy materials like wool, and wash clothes with a dermatologist-recommended detergent like all Free Clear. By implementing these best practices for skin sensitivity, you can minimize redness, dryness and discomfort to help skin stay healthy and glowing throughout the winter season.

Good health at any age: What women should watch out for Being healthy is a common goal for many people, but good health does not have a finite endpoint; it’s an ongoing process that unfolds over a lifetime. For women, aging can bring on surprising health changes as they move through the decades of their life. From good nutrition and proper exercise to bone health and vaginal wellness, knowing the changes aging may cause can empower women to better care for themselves and prepare. “From puberty to pregnancy to menopause, a woman’s body can go through a plethora of changes in her lifetime,” says Dr. Alyssa Dweck, an OB/GYN, author and expert on women’s health. “Once adulthood hits, the next few decades bring about expected, and some not-so-expected, physical, mental and emotional changes. Those changes mean how we care for our bodies will change, too.” While each woman’s aging experience will be as unique as she is, Dr. Dweck points to some
common health changes women may encounter during several decades of their lives: 20s With puberty completely over, women can begin to identify what is and isn’t normal for their bodies. While diet and exercise are important at any age, during their 20s women begin to understand what is required in order to maintain a healthy weight. Menstrual health may fluctuate during this decade of life and many women will focus on both contraception and feminine hygiene, Dweck says. “Women ages 21 and older should get a pap smear at least every three years,” she adds. During this age range, infections are not unusual. In fact, three out of four women will experience a yeast infection in their lifetime. Diets high in sugar and/or alcohol can increase the risk, as well as other factors like staying in a damp bathing suit or tight clothing for extended periods and menstrual cycle fluctuations. For those experiencing an infection for the first time, it’s best to visit the gynecologist to confirm the diagnosis. 30s During their 30s, women often start to focus on family planning and pregnancy, among other things. The hormonal changes that occur with pregnancy and/or use of birth control can cause shifts in pH balance, which can lead to infections. Being familiar with yeast infection symptoms
from past experience allows women to find quick and easy solutions, like the over-the-counter treatment of MONISTAT(R) in the feminine hygiene aisle of local drugstores. It relieves symptoms four times faster and works on more of the most common strains of yeast than the leading prescription. Nutrition continues to be important during this decade, whether women choose to begin families or not, as bone loss generally commences in the fourth decade and metabolism slows. Women should adjust their diets and exercise to ensure their caloric intake meets their needs, including maintaining their intake of calcium and eating nutritious, low-fat foods. 40s Perimenopause can cause significant health changes for women in their 40s, including a decrease in estrogen levels. Something many may find surprising is that at this age, women are at their sexual prime. However, intimate areas become thinner and less elastic in a woman’s 40s, which may cause varying degrees of discomfort. 50s Most women will experience menopause during their 50s, and while this new stage can cause pH changes, having no more menstruation or erratic cycles can be very freeing. With diminished estrogen, drying can occur in private

areas, for which moisturizers and lubricants can be useful. Women should avoid feminine products that are not both dermatologist and gynecologist tested as they can cause yeast infections, Dweck cautions. At this age, it is more important than ever to maintain a regular exercise routine, including cardio, strength training and flexibility training. 60s and beyond By this age, most women know their bodies intimately and can quickly tell when something isn’t right. Common health issues that can occur with age include diabetes, arthritis, cancer and heart disease, many of which also cause irregularities in feminine health. Women should remain active and continue to eat healthily as metabolism slows and bone health decays. Brain health is also important. Along with regular exercise and intellectual stimulation, social interaction with family and friends can help prevent cognitive decline. “Women will typically know what’s normal for them. There isn’t one normal - just normal for you,” Dweck says. “Women should never be afraid to familiarize themselves with their bodies and ask their doctors questions. Be inquisitive and don’t consider any topic taboo. Good health is a multifaceted process, and gynecological health is an important part of a woman’s overall well-being.” - (BPT)

ATTic / WALL iNsULATiON Dana is a special 2-year-old calico cat. Found by a Good Samaritan on the side of the I-5 freeway, she was taken to the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center with an injury to her rear leg. After seeing a local veterinarian, Dana was diagnosed with a completely shattered tibia. With no chance of saving the leg, the vet opted to amputate. Dana has healed beautifully since then and has no problem getting around on only three legs. She
even climbs cat trees. Dana is extremely loving and just wants to be around people – but not other cats. Therefore, she needs to be in a home without other felines. If you want to add a loving pet to your home, stop by the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center at 28095 Hillcrest to meet this 3-legged cat today. She will certainly steal your heart.

Power into a New Year with Protein
If the idea of diving into a new year has you feeling more exhausted than invigorated, it may be time to introduce some new strategies to help keep busy days from feeling overwhelming. Proper exercise, balanced nutrition and quality rest can make it easier to adapt when life demands you give a little bit more. Everyone’s life demands are different. Some may be looking to push through a late night workout or make it to the office for an early meeting, while others are looking to enjoy an outing to the park with their kids at the end of the day. These tips will help fuel, inspire and accomplish whatever your personal “one more” is. Begin with a bang. With a busy day ahead, it can be tempting to rush out the door and skip breakfast. However, countless studies have shown this first meal of the day is extremely important. Skipping out on a balanced breakfast can drag you down all day, both mentally and physically. Being hungry later in the day may also make you more likely to overeat or nibble on high-calorie snacks. For those mornings when you’re crunched for time, grab a protein-rich ready-todrink shake or sandwich with egg, cheese and lean meat to give yourself
sustained energy for the rest of the day. Work in a workout. In addition to helping ward off disease and manage your weight, regular exercise helps lift your mood by stimulating feel-good chemicals in the brain and boosts energy by helping your body work more efficiently. A combination of aerobic or cardio activity (walking, jogging or running) and musclestrengthening activity (lifting weights, resistance training or yoga) is the winning formula, according to the most recent Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. After your workout, refuel with a rich and creamy Premier Protein Shake, available in Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberries and Cream, with 30 grams of protein, only 160 calories and just 1 gram of sugar. Power with protein. Your body gets energy from three main sources: carbohydrates, fat and protein. Protein plays a major role in repairing damaged cells, tissues and muscle. Good sources of protein include meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts and vegetables, but the best sources deliver lots of protein without a lot of fat, carbs and sugar. A protein-based snack is a good way to recharge during the
day. Premier Protein 30-gram bars and Fiber Bars are smart, easy and gluten-free options that are available in an array of flavors to provide sustained energy with fiber, calcium and protein to help curb hunger. Keep up on sleep. Quality sleep – and an adequate amount of it – is critical to your overall wellbeing. While you’re sleeping, your body is hard at work healing and repairing from the day, as well as regulating your hormonal balance and protecting
your immune system. At the same time, your brain is also recharging to help your mental function, including learning aptitude, problem solving and emotional health. Most adults need an average of 7-9 hours of sleep for optimal performance. Visit premierprotein.com to learn how you can get the sustained energy to help you accomplish “one more” thing each day.

mvcs alumni coaches lead team to IMPRESSIVE GAME 1 victory! High school seniors James Williams and Ben Slevin may have graduated from Mission Viejo Christian School (MVCS) in 2014, but they are back on campus in 2018 as coaches for one of the school’s two elementary basketball teams. Under the leadership of Head Coach James Williams and Assistant Coach Ben Slevin, the team had an impressive 38 to 8 victory over St. Catherine’s in their first game of the season. Principal Bob Sladek commented, “As a principal there is no greater joy than to see your graduates advance through their high school years as successfully as James and Ben have! These two young men have taken it to the next level, coming back as coaches and mentors for the students in our school. I could not be prouder of them or more excited for their players. They are not only excellent coaches, but also excellent role models for the 5th & 6th grade players who are competing hard and learning from their example.” Head Coach James Williams, a senior at Tesoro High School, committed to play football at California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obipso (Cal Poly, SLO) beginning Fall 2018. He says, “It has been so great to be back on the MVCS campus after going to school there for many years. Sports are a huge part of my life. I had coaches that I looked up to and really admired and by coaching with Ben, I think we can be inspiring to the kids. My experience at MVCS was filled with so many life lessons and even though my job is to coach, I’ve already learned more life lessons from the players than I ever would have expected.” Assistant Coach Ben Slevin agreed, “Upon hearing that I would have the opportunity to coach at MVCS, I was truly ecstatic. Being able to give back to the school that poured their hearts out for my growth, has been an amazing blessing for me.” MVCS offers an impressive array of options in their after-school sports program which competes

Options include flag football, volleyball, cheerleading, cross country, basketball, track and field, soccer, and powder puff football. Athletic Director Rita Kandel believes, “While we have a long history of success and winning championships, our student athletes learn more important lessons in teamwork, cooperation, dedication, discipline, sportsmanship, integrity, and proper work ethics.” For Williams and Slevin, their season of coaching this team of 5th and 6th graders will be short, comprised of practices which began in late November and then ten games over the course of a condensed four-week season.

2300 attend Vanguard University’s Christmas Fantasia Concert Series This holiday season, Vanguard University’s award-winning Music Department celebrated the 21st anniversary of its Christmas Fantasia concert at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on December 1 and at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa on December 5. Over 2,300 community members gathered at and the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall to witness the Vanguard University Orchestra perform their annual Christmas Fantasia concert to ring in the holidays. Vanguard University’s nationally recognized Concert Choir and Orchestra, University Women’s chorus, Jazz Ensemble, Guitar Quartet, Barbershop and Beauty-shop Quartets and the Vanguard Singers and Band set the stage for their annual Christmas Fantasia performance. The annual concerts, presented by Farmers and Merchants Bank, showcased nearly 200 talented students from Vanguard University’s music programs in an awe-inspiring production of holiday classics. In addition to Christmas music, the event presented the prestigious Ralph Carmichael Scholarship Award to two students from the department of music. The award, given each year, is named in honor of the legendary Vanguard alum, and composer and arranger for Nat King Cole. Rachel Chapman, a senior at Vanguard, was recognized with the presentation of the Ralph Carmichael Scholarship Award for her outstanding academic performance. Chapman is a General Music major with an emphasis in Applied Voice in Vanguard’s music department and will be obtaining her degree in Spring 2018. “It’s such an honor to know that the department I have loved being a part of and have had such great experiences with for the past four years has noticed me and appreciates me this much,” said Chapman. “I could not have asked for a better college experience, and I feel so blessed and grateful for the people at Vanguard who helped me grow in both my musicianship and my faith.” Aaron Leppke was also presented with the Ralph Carmichael Scholarship Award for his dedication and perseverance within the music program. Leppke, a junior at Vanguard, is a Vocal Performance major and Voice lead and Secondary Cello performer for the Vanguard University music department ensembles LIFEsong and Concert Choir. “For over 20 years, our students have had the opportunity to share Christmas traditions, both old and new,” said Dr. James Melton, Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at Vanguard University. “I am honored to have been a part of this tradition for so many years, which would not be possible year after year without the local community support that we receive from businesses and concertgoers.” Proceeds from the Christmas Fantasia concert support scholarships and other educational resources through the Vanguard University Fund. Vanguard University (VU) is a regionally ranked, private, Christian university of liberal arts and professional studies. Located ten minutes from Newport Beach and an hour from Los Angeles, Vanguard equips students for a Spirit-empowered life of Christ-centered leadership and service. Vanguard is committed to academic excellence, boasting small class sizes that are designed to cultivate lasting professor-mentor relationships that enhance the learning process. The 2016 U.S. News & World Report ranked Vanguard #13 in the Regional Colleges (West) category, #10 for Best Colleges for Veterans, and #19 for economic diversity. The Princeton Review ranked Vanguard a 2016 “Best in the West” regional college. Accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission, Vanguard offers more than 30 degrees and certificates through its undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies programs.

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.
Find Your Influence Style this Year
The ability to influence those around you is a key leadership skill. To influence effectively, you must be adept at getting your opinions and ideas heard, recognized and considered by others. Use the new year as an opportunity to try a new approach to achieve different results when trying to influence those in either the dining room or the boardroom. According to clinical psychologist Dr. Steven Stein, CEO of Multi-Health Systems, influence styles can range from reliance on position and power to education, encouragement and collaboration. Most people rely on pushing or advocating for a position, which can create a tension between parties, Stein said. It immediately draws a line in the sand between the two sides and leaves people feeling unheard and disrespected. Last year, you may have found yourself using these influence techniques: Rationalizing, which is a fact-based approach, is using logical reasoning to convince others of your point of view. When used correctly, rationalizing moves discussion to a less emotional space. It works best when the people involved haven’t already made up their minds about a certain topic. Some people react negatively to this influence style, assuming you value your data more than their feelings. Asserting involves enforcing your dominance through your position or experience to explain why people should believe you. You ask people to comply rather than agree with you. Others can perceive this as aggressive, self-serving and Page 16
competitive. If they don’t respect your position, your assertion will fall flat. The turn of a new year might be the time to change up your tactics. To change someone’s mind, you may want to try pulling people toward you and your point of view. If you’re starting on opposite sides of disagreement, find a way to unite the two groups by using these techniques: Bridging entails building communities based on common, mutual interests. Establish trust by listening to what others have to say. Show you’re listening and then try to find something you agree upon. Finding somewhere small to start where you can agree might help you build toward a resolution.
The Ladera Ranch News
Inspiring entails advocating for your position by encouraging others with a sense of shared purpose and exciting possibilities. Famous leaders, like Steve Jobs, are remembered for rallying their employees with passionate words and empowering people to share the same feelings. This year, if you end up arguing with a relative about politics or a colleague about an aspect of your business, take a step back. After exhausting yourselves with facts and figures, try finding common ground. Learn more about techniques for influencing others at mhs.com. Photo courtesy of Getty Images
