Furry friends can play a significant role in pet owners’ lives. The old saying goes, “dogs are man’s best friend,” and research shows they may be more than that. In fact, they just might be the key to keeping seniors active. According to a study conducted by the University of Lincoln and Glasgow Caledonian University in collaboration with Mars Petcare Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition, dog owners 65 and older were found to walk over 20 minutes more a day than seniors who did not have canine companions at home. The study documented three key conclusions: Dog owners walked further and for longer than non-dog owners. Dog owners were more likely to reach recommended activity levels. Dog owners had fewer periods of sitting down. “Older adult dog owners are more active than those without dogs and are also more likely to meet government

recommendations for daily physical activity,” said Nancy Gee, human animal interaction researcher at Waltham. “We are learning more every day about the important roles pets play in our lives, so it’s no surprise that pets are now in more than 84 million households. It’s great to recognize how pets can help improve seniors’ lives.” Walking with your pup can help both the pet and owner get in shape. Pets can keep older adults active and even help them meet the recommended public health guidelines for weekly physical activity. According to the study, on average, dog owners more often participated in 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity and achieved 2,760 additional steps. However, the benefits of pet ownership go beyond physical activity. It’s no secret that pets provide companionship. From reducing rates of stress, depression and feelings of social isolation, pets can play a significant role in improving people’s

lives, which ultimately can make pet owners happier and healthier. Not only do pets serve as companions in their own right, studies have shown that dog owners can get to know their neighbors through their pets. Pets can even help facilitate the initial meeting and conversation, which may come as no surprise for many dog owners who have chatted with others while walking their dogs. For older adults who live alone or in a group facility, having a pet is also a great way to build relationships with others. As senior citizens are celebrated on upcoming days that acknowledge older adults, it turns out living with a pet can be a healthy choice for seniors in more ways than one.

School lunches are gold mines for recycling, reusing and replenishing From an early age, children can roll up their sleeves and get involved in helping reduce the amount of trash they produce by participating in recycling programs. Across the country, children will celebrate Earth Day April 22 with science fairs and environmental educational seminars about the importance of recycling. When children start recycling early in life, they’re more likely to continue that behavior as they get older - and pass the practice on to their own kids. Recycling is a growing program in households, cities and schools across the country. In fact, Americans recycled 82 million tons of materials in 2009 - the most recent year for reported data, and that number keeps increasing, according to Keep America Beautiful. School programs are a great way to not only promote recycling in younger generations, but also to create a fundraiser for the schools. This year, as Earth Day approaches April 22, schools can organize aluminum can drives and participate in cashfor-schools programs based on recycling lunch packaging. One such program is The Recycle...Reuse... Replenish Earth Day Campaign which encourages school children to recycle their Entenmann’s Little Bites Pouches with TerraCycle, resulting in

cash back to the school. In addition, here are some more recycling, reusing and replenishing tips, perfect for school children to promote every lunch day at the school. Recycle: * Know your numbers - Teach your children to look for numbers and recycling symbols on plastic containers to know which containers can be reused through a recycling program. * Sign up for cash back programs Sign up your school for the TerraCycle program - if it’s not already registered - and have your children recycle their Little Bites pouches each lunch hour. Visit www.terracycle.com/en-US/ brigades.html to find a listing of other lunch items TerraCycle collects. Reuse: * Keep the container - Send your children to school with their daily sandwich packaged in a reusable container they can bring home and use again the next day. Let them decorate the container to make it a personal item to show off at lunch. * Craft material supplies - Before throwing anything away, teach your children to think about how the material might be reused in a crafting project. TerraCycle provides several do-it-yourself project ideas at www.

terracycle.com/en-US/do-it-yourselfprojects.html. Replenish: * Have leftovers? - Set up a compost pile at home, and give your children a lesson in biodegradable foods. Ask them to bring leftovers that are biodegradable home in their sandwich container to add to the compost pile. * Grow new lunch materials - Give your children a small garden to plant and tend that contains their favorite vegetables. Show them how beneficial their lunch compost is for growing those plants they can eat at future lunches.

Entenmann’s will be giving away weekly prizes, including Little Bites coupons home improvement gift cards for starting an Earth Day garden, and a $5,000 cash grand prize through a sweepstakes link at www.facebook.com/Entenmanns. Register your school now for a chance to win the prize and build a beautiful Earth Day garden. Help teach your children the importance of the three R’s: recycle, reuse and replenish. The earlier they start, the more likely they’ll be to participate the rest of their lives. - (BPT)

OLIVE CREST CHILDREN AND FAMILIES RECEIVE GIFTS, FOOD, AND CARE DURING THE 2017 “BE THE MIRACLE” HOLIDAY CAMPAIGN

Christmas 2017 was a joy-filled holiday for 834 abused, neglected, and at-risk children and teens in Orange County. Olive Crest’s annual “Be the Miracle” gift drive was bigger than ever. Generous donors in the community contributed hundreds of gifts, food, and other necessities throughout November and December, ensuring a bright and cheerful Christmas for kids who may have never before received a present during the holidays! With childhoods shattered by abuse, many kids at Olive Crest have never grown up in joyful expectation of the holidays. Olive Crest wants to change that experience and create happy memories. On an annual basis, we enlist the local community’s support,” stated Tim Bauer, Executive Director of Development for Olive Crest Orange County. “Our “Be The Miracle” campaign ensures that each and every child’s wish does indeed come true! With most other children receiving gifts at home during the holidays, Olive Crest strives to allow the same experience for our kids. The invaluable smile on a child’s face reflects the purpose and warmth of the holiday spirit. Every contribution, no matter how large or small, will allow these children to experience happy memories, and will help remind them that they are truly valued, remembered, and special this holiday season,” Bauer continued. One little three-year old boy named Josh was especially grateful for a brand new pillow and bed this year. He had been used to sleeping on the floor, with a “pillow” he had made of dirty old batting stuffed into a plastic bag. While he also received toys and a bike among the donations, he cried tears of joy and excitement when he saw his new bed and cuddled up with a brand new pillow for the first time in his life! Many of the children Olive Crest

serves struggle to know what to wish for, as they haven’t even had basic essentials, let alone toys and things to entertain them. For Andre, an 11 year old who loves soccer, new cleats was the only thing he could think of to request; something he had never imagined he would possess. With only memories of abuse, constant moves, and dashed dreams, Olive Crest staff remarked “we could tell he wasn’t holding out much hope for the cleats.” But, when he received them along with other Christmas presents, he was so overjoyed that he wore them all day and wouldn’t take them off. Every day during the campaign, individuals, families, and companies were dropping off their contributions, packing the shelves of Olive Crest’s “Santa’s Workshop” to capacity. “These individuals are genuine Olive Crest heroes,” stated Kyle Houlton, Community Involvement Coordinator for Olive Crest Orange County. “To those who donated goods, funds, and helped receive and distribute donations to our kids and families, we are most grateful,” he continued. Donations this year included: Over 8,000 Christmas Gifts 27 Christmas Trees to help families decorate Over 1,100 stockings filled with goodies 265 Holiday Meals for families in need 13 fun-filled Christmas Parties for Olive Crest kids and families A Shopping Spree at H & M for group home youth A new Car for transporting transitional aged youth A new Chevrolet Truck to help deliver goods and donations And so much more! Hundreds of donors contributed to this community effort, with very special thanks to Tim Doddridge, Toyota of Huntington Beach, Orange

Theory Fitness, Applied Medical, Michael Sullivan and Associates, McKinley Elevator, RD Olson, and Oltman’s Construction. ABOUT OLIVE CREST Since 1973, Olive Crest has transformed the lives of over 100,000 abused, neglected, and at-risk children and their families. We work tirelessly to meet the individual needs of kids in crisis by providing safe homes, counseling, and education for both youth and parents. Our many innovative programs reflect

our conviction that strengthening the family is one of the most powerful ways to help heal children. With unwavering compassion, the Olive Crest family maintains a lifelong commitment to the youth and families we serve, even after they have graduated from our programs. Established, proven, and respected, Olive Crest serves over 3,500 children and families each day throughout California, Nevada, and the Pacific Northwest.

3 expert tips for starting a successful vegetable garden Warm weather begs green thumbs across the country to break out their gardening gloves and till the soil for the season’s plantings. Whether this is your first year tending a home garden or it’s something you’ve been doing for decades, gardening offers many rewards, including time spent outdoors, the ability to feel closer to Mother Nature, and of course, the fresh fare plucked just steps from your kitchen. Anyone can have a successful home garden no matter where they live by following a few steps from professional gardeners. Consider these three important tips for starting your garden right so you can enjoy fresh produce faster, thanks to the experts at Outdoor Essentials makers of garden beds, compost bins and other gardening necessities. Step 1: Research appropriate early plantings Springtime is ideal garden time thanks to milder weather, and a good place to start is by researching proper plants for your region’s early season. If you have questions, consult your local nursery or call your local extension office for specialized advice. In general, good early plantings include brassicas, a family of plants that includes kale, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbages. Additional cool-season

crops to consider include radishes, beets, peas, potatoes and carrots. These plants will thrive early in the season and produce yields quickly. In addition to quick-producing plants, the early season is the best time to plant other varieties that take a long time to mature. Onions, for example, require a lengthy growing season and should be planted early so that in late summer, gardeners can enjoy the maximum yield possible. Want produce quicker? Consider purchasing starter plants, also called plant starts, rather than relying on packets of seeds. These are the small plants that have already germinated and have a basic root system. These are easy to transfer to your own garden and, with proper tending, will grow quickly and produce fruit faster. Step 2: Prepare garden spaces for accelerated growth After months of not being used, your garden’s soil is likely compact and will require some tilling to loosen the dirt and encourage plant growth. You can do this with a garden rake; for large gardens, some people prefer to rent a power tiller. People who live in smaller homes, a townhouse or condo might prefer to use raised garden beds. Stylish and functional, raised garden planters from Outdoor Essentials eliminate the need to bend over to tend garden, a benefit that has made them vastly

popular. Raised garden beds can be used virtually anywhere outdoors, including on a deck or patio, and they can be moved, too, if necessary. Whether you create a garden plot in your yard or add a few raisedgarden planters to your patio, make sure the dirt is nutrient-rich and ready for your plants. Typically it’s wise to mix black dirt in with your soil to ensure that plants grow strong. If you’ve had trouble growing in the past, consider getting your soil tested to verify pH levels. Step 3: Tend daily and enjoy the fruits of your labor For best results, tend your garden on a daily basis. Check for soil moisture and water as necessary. Make sure to pluck weeds and watch for pest infestations. If done daily, it should only take a few minutes to verify the health of your garden, plus it’s fun to watch plants grow and flower.

As fruit and vegetables mature, it’s time to enjoy the season’s first harvest. The healthy fresh fare tastes even better knowing you grew it yourself, plus it cuts down on grocery bills. If you find you have too much of one type of produce at once, share with neighbors, coworkers and friends - everyone loves fresh garden delights. Keep in mind that as plants grow, you need to make sure they don’t overcrowd each other. This can limit growth and yield production. If your garden starts to look overgrown, you may need to pluck out a few plants to open up space and encourage proper growth and healthy root systems. Spring to it! The mild, moist weather and longer days of the early gardening season make the conditions ideal for plant growth. With a few simple steps and a watchful eye, you’ll be enjoying fresh produce at almost every meal. -(BPT)

OCSA Celebrates HULLABALOO BY THE BAYOU; Raises $2 Million Adrienne Brandes and RJ Brandes Photos by: Yunuen Bonaparte More than 600 guests stood in roaring applause to celebrate a thrilling evening of captivating performances and extraordinary generosity that led Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) to raise more than $2 million in support of its tuition-free arts and academic programs. For OCSA’s Gala 2018 “Big Time in the Big Easy,” Hotel Irvine was transformed into the enchanting city of New Orleans as ladies and gentlemen were entertained by jazz artistry, fine French Creole cuisine, indulgent live and silent auctions, and a three-act production staged by more than 200 of OCSA’s talented students. Co-chaired by Lisa Argyros and John Massa and Devon and Kevin Martin, the black-tie affair far surpassed its fundraising goal, raising a net of $1.6 million. Unique to OCSA’s Gala, the costs associated also include the elaborate performance, which provides students from all 14 arts conservatories with real-world experience and professional mentorship. “OCSA’s Gala truly gives its students the opportunity to shine, not only in the awe-inspiring performances by singers, dancers and musicians onstage, but also as gracious greeters, stage managers and crew, visual artists and culinary support,” said Devon Martin. Much like voodoo queen Marie Laveau, “Big Time in the Big Easy” cast a spell on Gala attendees, bewitching them with a mesmerizing experience Brianna and Teren Shaffer from beginning to end. As soon as guests arrived, they were delighted by OCSA students, who acted as entertaining street performers. Artists sketched and painted their masterpieces, writers created thought-provoking poetry and improvisational dancers tapped their feet to the sounds of rollicking jazz music. Guests were handed delicious peach cocktails and tray-passed hors d’oeuvres as they strolled up the purple carpet to the French Quarter Pavilion tent, where they placed their bids on an extraordinary selection of silent and “Almost Live!” auction items. A second-line parade then led them through an ornate floral iron gate into the Grand Ballroom, where dinner was served under market lights. Producer’s Circle ($30,000) tables were adorned in apple green velvet brocade linens with golden lantern and orchid centerpieces and surrounded by gold infinity chairs backed with extravagant royal purple cloth flowers. During Act I, guests enjoyed a Louisiana crab salad with okra, and a mizuna, poblano and corn relish, herb-crusted filet mignon, Cajun-blackened redfish served with a blue cheese and sweet potato gratin, asparagus, andouille-roasted corn and sauce ravigote. Dessert featured a chocolate banana cream pie and family-style beignets with caramel rum sauce. An exciting live auction raised a total of $94,000. The “P!NK VIP Concert Experience” donated by Farmers & Merchants Bank went to Tristy Patterson and Eric Choi. “Greetings from NOLA,” donated by the Emeril Lagasse Sherry and Ralph Opacic Foundation, Pacific Hospitality Group, and the New Orleans Center for the Arts will be enjoyed by Martha Duque and Nimesh Davé. The “Paradise in the Pacific” trip to Maui generated such interest that Montage Hotels & Resorts offered to provide two six-night packages, which were taken home by Julie and Doug Garn; and Kathi and Steve Wagner, Cynthia and Martin Howard and Vicki Foley and Tom Brennan. Suzi Lyons won her choice from a collection of five exquisite jewelry pieces by Twila True Fine Jewelry as part of the opportunity drawing that raised $11,200. An inspiring video, a testimonial by OCSA alumnus Lorenzo RangelSantos, and a moving speech from Dr. Mohamed El-Erian about the importance of education, diversity and opportunity for all students. When his challenge match of $300,000 was announced, paddles flew up in support of the Artist Scholar Sponsorship Program, which helps to provide financial assistance to students’ families who live below the national poverty level. The generosity soared to another level when Julia Argyros and Honorary Gala Co-Chair Lisa Argyros stood and surprised the crowd with a $500,000 gift from the Argryos Family Foundation. “As the students were singing ‘What a Wonderful World,’ all I could think about was the fact that these kids - our OCSA kids – are the future,” said Founder and Executive Director Ralph Opacic, Ed.D. “They can and will change the world.
