PACIFIC SYMPHONY ASKS AGAIN, “OC CAN YOU PLAY WITH US?” Last season, Pacific Symphony asked “OC Can You Play With Us?” and got a resounding and positive response from community musicians across Orange County. This year, back by popular demand, the Symphony is offering four sessions over two nights for adult amateur musicians (ages 22 and older) to perform alongside the orchestra, under the direction of Music Director Carl St.Clair. Taking place Monday, April 30, and Tuesday, May 1, at 7 p.m., this year’s event offers twice the number of spots—bringing the number of musicians to 200—for a unique opportunity to rehearse and perform selections from Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet” on the stage of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Although the program is considered full, the Symphony is pulling from a waiting list up until the event dates. Friends, fans and interested observers are invited to attend this workshopstyle event for free (seating is general admission: reserve tickets online). Find music tips and interact with the musicians on the OC Can You Play With Us? Facebook page. Watch a video and find out more on our website. For more information, contact Alicia Frye at (714) 876-2386 or afrye@pacificsymphony. org for more information. Registration opened on Feb. 1, and
participants were chosen on a firstcome first-served basis with no audition required. They have now received their music in preparation for the performance of selections from Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet,” including “Montagues and Capulets,” “Minuet,” “Balcony Scene” and “Tybalt’s Death.” Unique this year, participants may attend an optional rehearsal led by conductor Sharon Lavery and sectionals led by Symphony musicians Ian McKinnell (strings), Cindy Ellis (woodwinds) and David Stetson (brass) on April 14. The night of the performance, participants are invited to attend a private reception with the musicians. Also new this year, “OC Can You Play With Us?” has a Facebook page, where participants may ask questions, read music tips and interact with Symphony musicians. Find it at http://www. facebook.com/OCCanYouPlayWithUs? “Last year was great…but this year is going to be even better as we get to have an additional rehearsal practice and a sectional!” says past participant Matt Wood, president of the Laguna Concert Band. “Bravo Pacific Symphony! Thanks for the program!” “OC Can You Play With Us?” offers a unique opportunity for amateur musicians to not only play with the professionals, but to perform under the direction of Maestro St.Clair and to
gain the experience of playing in one of the most acoustically and architecturally advanced halls in the world,” says Alicia Frye, community arts participation associate. One new participant this year, Dennis McNutt, playing the bass, grew up in West Africa without electricity or any modern conveniences. His love of music grew from the few classical records his family played on a wind-up phonograph, and one time he heard a bass performed in an unusual manner in a church in Ghana. He has dreamed of playing the bass ever since, and after retirement he finally found a teacher. He is now preparing to perform onstage with not only the Symphony but his daughter and
son-in-law, who are also participating. “Learning a musical instrument surely would have been easier as a youth, but as a mature adult I have the passion and focused determination to improve each year. This also provides daily rigorous exercise for my brain, as it tries to master something new, difficult and wonderful,” says McNutt. He adds, “Having the opportunity to play with world-class musicians is a bit like a wannabe football player being invited to the Super Bowl, except no one will get hurt!” “OC Can You Play With Us? is made possible by support from MetLife, the James Irvine Foundation and Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

Priorto that stirring appearance, Freelon’s performances for the legendary Julie Andrews at the Society of Singers’ Ella Awards, Variety’s The Children’s Charity, Jerry Lewis’ Labor Day Muscular DystrophyTelethon, a headline spot for ActionAID, the International AIDS fundraiser with Sir Elton John and AndreaBocelli, as well as at the most famous jazz festivals around the globe, have all been rousing successes.A tireless advocate for the arts, and known for her dedication to education and children of all ages,Freelon has been recognized often – YWCA of North Carolina’s 2011 inaugural “Legend Award” for her outstanding artistry and dedication to education, 2010 “Woman of Substance” by Bennett College for Women, the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame for her artistry, the Eubie Blake Award, The French Jazz Academy’s Billie Holiday Award and many more.

He has maintained a regular international touring schedule over the past 35 years, and also hosts and produces annual “Weekend of Jazz” events throughout the United States. First studying piano at the age of 3 and then guitar at 10, Klugh was barely a teen when he was thunderstruck by watching Chet Atkins play guitar on Perry Como’s television variety show. Immediately ,the then 13-year-old Klugh immersed himself in Atkins’ innovative fingering style, studying Atkins’ playing on dozens of albums. In honing his technique, a complex, beautiful and melodic style emerged, and a talent that was uniquely Klugh’s.Earl absorbed a world of influences in his youth, from Wes Montgomery to Sergio Mendes,
The Newport News
to the jazz and classical guitar music of Brazil, Argentina and Spain, the pop songs of Burt Bacharach and the Beatles, and the pop-folk eruption of the early Sixties and Motown’s legendary studio session band, The Funk Brothers. “Music for me has always been a driving force in my life,” he says. “I love the emotion music evokes, and the stories it tells. No matter the genre, or style, I can always find something to enjoy. Music has no boundaries.”Klugh’s studio debut came in 1969 on Yusef
Lateef’s Suite 16. He then recorded on George Benson’s White Rabbit album, later touring with Benson and Chick Corea’s Return to Forever before launching hissolo career in 1976 on Blue Note records.

Michelle Parker Dominates at the Blenheim Spring Classic II Coming off a spectacular victory in Friday’s $10,000 1.35M Jumper Classic, presented by CardFlex, Michelle Parker swept up the competition again in Saturday’s $40,000 Blenheim Spring Classic Grand Prix, presented by Summit General Insurance Agency. With the stands filled, spring in the air and the sun shining, all eyes were on Parker as she guided her fearless 9 year old grey mare, Xel Ha to a double clean effort in a blazing 38.220. A total of 31 horse and rider duos took on the challenge today on the Blenheim EquiSports’ Grand Prix grass field. The demanding course, designed by Benjamin Fernandez (MEX), lead riders over a vertical-oxer double combination, an oxer-verticle-oxer triple combination, an optional water jump, and a finish over a wide liverpool oxer. Six riders were able to master the 1st round and qualify for the jump-off. Josephina Nor Lantzman (BRA) and her trusted mount Chello Z had thefirst clear roundof the day and followed up with another flawless effort in the jump-off setting the bar in a time of 40.744. John Pearce (CAN) and Forest View Farm’s Chianto stood up to the challenge and surpassed Nor’s time in 38.830. Michelle Parker then piloted the 9-year-old Selle Francais mare, Xel Ha, owned by Tula Pinnella, to a quick and concise jump off, cutting corners and galloping between fences to stop the clock and take the lead in 38.220. It came down to Parker’s second mount in the jump off to try and make it a 1-2 finish. Parker guided Cross Creek Farm’s Socrates De Midos to a fault free jump-off, but stopped the clock in 39.908, good enough for 3rd. Seven of the eight riders were able to go clean in the jump-off, making it a very intense and exciting wrap up to the second week of the Blenheim Spring Classic Series.
Pacific Symphony SANTIAGO STRINGS performs its FINAL concert of the season The passion and storytelling of opera melodies are told through the awe-inspiring young musicians of Pacific Symphony Santiago Strings (PSSS), when they perform the final concert of their season. The performance, led by Music Director Irene Kroesen, begins with Mozart’s “Papageno” Suite, the comedic bird catcher from “The Magic Flute.” Then, Verdi’s Prelude to Act I from “La Traviata,” which is followed by the sparkling Overture to “Semiramide” by Rossini. The concert concludes with the famous tenor aria “Nessum Dorma” from “Turandot.” For the finale, members of Pacific Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble join PSSS to become a full orchestra for a performance of Bizet’s “Carmen” Suite. Arrive early to enjoy a pre-concert opera performance in the lobby with Susan Miller, soprano; Allison Hieger, mezzo soprano; and Nathan Hieger, baritone, beginning in the lobby at 2:20 p.m. The concert, featuring unique stage enhancements, takes place Sunday, April 22, at 3 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www. PacificSymphony.org. “The Santiago Strings have been performing wonderfully all season long,” says Melissa Craig, director of youth ensembles. “They have mastered difficult repertoire with energy, precision and quality musicianship. This performance will showcase heart-felt music from major opera productions—and pre-concert entertainment featuring opera performances will set the tone for the concert!” The Newport News

Bee Healthy By Michael Tamez Bee Pollen granules are the dust-sized and powder-like seed on the stamen of all flower blossoms. Bees release enzymes and nectar into the pollen which creates the bee pollen. Bee Pollen is one of nature’s most amazing superfoods. It seems to be better than any multi-vitamin and has been used as a dietary supplement for thousands of years. Hippocrates, recognized as the father of modern medicine used bee pollen as a healing substance many years ago. It was also used by the early Chinese and Egyptian people as medicine and is also mentioned in the Bible as honey and nectar several times. Modern day health practitioners see bee pollen as an herbal miracle that can be used for a variety of purposes. Bee Pollen has been around me for quite some time. I’ve known quite a few health conscious people throughout my life and bee pollen has always been on their daily menus. When I was a kid and played baseball, my Dad would always have me take some right before a game. The other kid’s parents would ask my Dad what he gave me to have me play so well and hit the ball so far. He would say, “Bee Pollen.” Bee Pollen is composed of up to 40% percent protein and contains B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, potassium, manga-
Page 8
nese, magnesium, plant sterols, copper, calcium, iron and essential fatty acids. It is the most complete and thorough food supplement you can find. There are so many health benefits that you get from taking this Superfood it seems a bit ridiculous, but through my experience with it I believe it to be true. Listed below are some of the benefits: • Strengthens the immune system and helps fight off infections and viruses • Contains lecithin, which is a natural dissolver of fat and flushes fat cells out of the body • Can help alleviate the cause of allergies and hay fever • Is believed to reduce the risk of prostate cancer • Some studies have found that bee pollen can help reduce the discomfort of PMS and improve the overall health of the reproductive system in women • There are antibodies in bee pollen that reduce the effects of aging such as dark spots, dullness, and wrinkles • Can reduce the risk of breast cancer in people who are predisposed to the disease • Gives you natural endurance, longevity, and energy without having the jitters from consuming sugar, artificial sweeteners and caffeine associated with energy drinks and shots • Is used by athletes as a natural performance enhancing food
The Newport News
• Has been reported by cancer patients to drastically reduce the negative effects of chemo/radiation therapy • Can reduce nutritional deficiencies in the body The list goes on and on and on. For a more detailed description of all the health benefits of bee pollen, check out this link: http://beepollen.info/ Bee Pollen singlehandedly offers the widest array of amino acids, enzymes, minerals, antibiotics, protein, and vitamins. This enables the body to absorb all the nutrients required at the time. Basically, bee pollen is good for all systems of the body. I should also note that it has been determined that a
very small percentage of the population is allergic to this superfood, so use discretion and common sense. My experience with this wonderful superfood has been awesome. I’ve been taking it pretty religiously for many years now and have definitely noticed a difference in my health and energy. It seems that when I take it I immediately feel a boost of energy and a better mental outlook. My girlfriend and I rarely get sick and if we do, it is a minor cold that lasts for a day. I have been taking it for ten years and have not experienced flu or any major colds or health issues. We call it our natural flu shot.

Mission Hospital First in OC to Perform Life-Saving Blood Clot Removal Using Newly-Approved Clot Retrieving Device
Todd Lempert, M.D
Mission Hospital recently became the first hospital in Orange County to successfully use a stroke revascularization device to remove a blood clot from a patient’s brain. Since the initial procedure, the hospital has successfully used the device on two additional patients. The Solitaire FR, the device used in the procedures, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 5, 2012, and has the capability of improving stroke outcomes by more effectively extracting clots in a more precise and timely manner. Paul Tyson, one of the first patients to benefit from this new procedure, was deeply concerned after awaking to find he was unable to get out of bed and having difficulties even calling his wife’s name for help. His wife, Cheryl Tyson, quickly realized Paul was showing signs of a stroke and called the ambulance to take him to Mission Hospital, which had started using the Solitaire device just days before. “I think it’s wonderful that Mission Hospital had this procedure available to us,” Cheryl said, “God had a hand in getting us to the right place.” Although Paul had virtually no movement on his left side when he was taken to the hospital, after the procedure, which took less than an hour, he was moving his left arm by lunch-time. The day after the procePage 14
dure, Paul was already up and walking around with his nurses. “I could have been hurt bad,” Paul said, “but I’m feeling pretty normal now.” Todd Lempert, M.D., who performed the procedures, said that the stroke intervention team at Mission Hospital was excited to have this next-generation clot retriever available after the device got FDA approval in early March. “To be the first hospital in Orange County to successfully use this device is a great accomplishment for our team and exemplifies our goal of working together to achieve excellence.” Time is of the essence with the treatment of stroke, especially an ischemic stroke, when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot. Because these blockages prohibit the brain from receiving the nutrients it needs, neurons begin to die. While prior clot removal procedures could take up to two to three hours, the three recent cases at Mission Hospital were performed in about 30 minutes. Mission Hospital sees hundreds of patients each year that could benefit from the use of the Solitaire FR device, and for patients like Paul Tyson, this new device could have life-saving benefits. “The time saved using this device is crucial for a stroke patient,” said
The Newport News
Farzard Massoudi, M.D., medical director of the Neuroscience and Spine Institute at Mission Hospital. “It restores blood flow and essential nutrients to the patient’s brain quicker, which significantly improves the likelihood of a positive outcome.” According to the American Heart Association, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. and a leading cause of long-term disability. “This is good news for the approximately 700,000 people each year in the U.S. who suffer an acute ischemic stroke,” said Stacy Enxing Seng, president, vascular therapies at Covidien, which manufactures the device. “Solitaire FR provides physicians with another important tool for treating this potentially fatal and often debilitating condition.” “We’re one of the few centers in Orange County that has this range in capability,” said Dr. Lempert. “We’re able to handle all levels of complexity when it comes to stroke care – especially with this new tool.” Mission Hospital, part of St. Joseph Health System, offers the region’s most comprehensive neurological and stroke care and was named a Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission. Mission Hospital is also an Orange County Emergency Medical Services designated Stroke-Neurology Receiving Center, and the only
one providing advanced neurologic care for stroke. For more information, visit www.mission4health.com. Mission Hospital provides south Orange County communities with access to advanced care and advanced caring through two convenient locations. Mission Hospital has been serving the greater needs of the community for nearly 40 years, improving the quality of life in the communities it serves. Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, the region’s only designated trauma center, offers 24-hour emergency care and specialized services for imaging, heart, stroke, maternity, and women’s wellness needs. Mission Hospital Laguna Beach offers 24-hour emergency, intensive and medical-surgical care as well as the South County’s only behavioral health services including hospitalbased chemical and pain medication dependency treatment. CHOC Children’s at Mission Hospital, located on the fifth floor of Tower 1, is the only dedicated pediatric hospital in Orange County. A member of the St. Joseph Health System, Mission Hospital is one of 14 notfor-profit hospitals sponsored by the St. Joseph Health Ministry. For more information, visit mission4health.com.

The all-new production of Les Misérables features glorious new staging and spectacular re-imagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. Tickets start at $35 and will be available online at SCFTA.org, by calling (714) 556-2787 and at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa. For inquiries about group ticket discounts, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746. For more information on the production please visit www.LesMis.com. For a video sneak peek of the New 25th Anniversary Production of Les Misérables, please visit www.LesMis. com/watch. Segerstrom Center applauds Wells Fargo for its generous support of the Center’s 2011-2012 Broadway Series. Cox Media is the media partner of the Broadway and Curtain Call Series. This engagement of Les Misérables was made possible by special underwriting from Rutan & Tucker, LLP and S.L. and Betty Huang/Huang Family
Foundation. Segerstrom Center also thanks Acura, the Official Automotive Sponsor of the Center. “I’m delighted that 25 years after Les Miz originally opened in London the audience for this marvelous show is bigger and younger than ever before,” said producer Cameron Mackintosh. “Over the years I have seen many successful but visually different productions, so it has been exciting to draw inspiration from the brilliant drawings and paintings of Victor Hugo himself, integrated with spectacular projections. The new Les Miz is a magnificent mix of dazzling images and epic staging, driving one of the greatest musical stories ever told.” Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, Les Misérables is an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit. The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the classic songs “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Stars,” “Bring Him Home,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?,” “One Day More,” “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables,” “Master Of The House” and many more. Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of Boublil and Schönberg’s Les Misérables has music by ClaudeMichel Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert
Kretzmer from the original French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, additional material by James Fenton and original adaptation by Trevor Nunn and John Caird. The original Les Misérables orchestrations are by John Cameron with new orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke and additional orchestrations by Stephen Metcalfe and Stephen Brooker. The production is directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, designed by Matt Kinley inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo with costumes by Andreane Neofitou and additional costumes by Christine Rowlands, lighting by Paule Constable, sound by Mick Potter, musical staging by Michael Ashcroft and projections by Fifty-Nine Productions. Les Misérables originally opened in London at the Barbican Theatre on October 8, 1985, transferred to the Palace Theatre on December 4, 1985 and moved to its current home at the Queen’s Theatre on April 3, 2004 where it continues to play to packed houses. When Les Misérables celebrated its 21st London birthday on October 8, 2006, it became the
World’s Longest-Running Musical, surpassing the record previously held by Cats in London’s West End. In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the legendary musical Les Misérables made theatrical history with an international first – three different productions in London at the same time. The Original Production (still playing to packed houses at the Queen’s Theatre), the acclaimed New 25th Anniversary Production at the Barbican (where the show originally premiered) and a celebratory concert at The O2 Arena. The O2 Concert was presented in more than 500 cinemas throughout the United States on November 17, 2010 and is now available on Blu-ray DVD through Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Scientists Create Computer Chip to Deliver Drugs Internally Rather Than Through Shots Imagine if you were diabetic and had to give yourself a shot of insulin every day, or an elderly patient who had to have hormone treatments given by injection to ward of bone loss. Both require the patient to apply the shot themselves, an experience that is unpleasant enough that many choose to simply not do it, putting themselves at great risk. Now, new research done by a group of MIT researchers have found a way to surgically implant several doses of medicine into soft tissue along with a microchip that causes the doses to be released according to a set program. They have published a paper describing their results in the journal Science. Implanting anything in the body is a tricky business. Some materials are hazardous, some are broken down by coagulants and some are attacked by the immune system. There is also the problem of figuring out a way to provide power to a device that both doctor and patient want to be small enough so as to not be noticeable; thus, batteries are out. To overcome all of these problems, the team tested several hundred different types of material to cover both the chip and the capsules that hold the individual
doses of medicine. The chips were eventually coated with the same sort of plastic that is used to cover pacemakers, and the capsules were covered with platinum and titanium that melts when a small electrical current is applied; and the current to run the chip and send a charge to the capsules is taken from the body itself. To test their new medicine delivery method, the researchers enlisted seven volunteer women between the ages of 65 and 70 who were currently on a daily regimen of teriparatide, a drug administered via needle, to help forestall the advancement of osteoporosis. Each patient had the device (which had 20 doses of teriparatide) implanted into their body in a thirty minute procedure done in a doctor’s office. Each had the device inside of them for a period of four

months. As part of the study, some of the devices were programmed to deliver the medicine on schedule every day at the same time, while others were controlled remotely via wireless communications with a computer that were run by the research team. During the test, the patients reported no complications and no sideeffects, and most of them reported
forgetting they had the implant inside of them. All of them had their proper doses delivered when they were supposed to be given and reported they would prefer the new device over the needle option if given a choice. More testing is still needed, but the researchers expect their product to be on the market in as little as three years.

April Is Parkinson’s Awareness Month In 2010, the U.S. Senate designated April as the country’s annual Parkinson’s Awareness Month to help educate the public about the neurological disease and promote cutting-edge treatment and care for people with Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder often associated with tremor, slowness of movement and muscle stiffness. Approximately 1 million people in the U.S. have Parkinson’s, and 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. In addition to a month-long focus on helping improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s disease through education, research and outreach efforts, April 11 is World Parkinson’s Day when people across the globe are encouraged to be advocates for Parkinson’s disease patients and their families. In spreading the word about Parkinson’s and finding a cure, people are challenged to join the cause in a variety of ways: Spend time with someone who has Parkinson’s; volunteer for a local chapter event; participate in a local fundraiser; join a local support group or start your own; or start a daily exercise routine. Early diagnosis of Parkinson’s gives individuals the best possibility for healthier living. Initial warning signs of Parkinson’s disease include:
Tremor or shaking Small handwriting Trouble sleeping Trouble moving or walking Constipation A soft or low voice A masked or serious-look face Dizziness Fainting Stooping or hunching over Anyone experiencing any of these symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease is encouraged to see a doctor to help diagnose the illness and rule out other possible symptom causes. Parkinson’s disease is not fatal itself, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists Parkinson’s complications as the 14th leading cause of death in America. Currently there is no cure for this neurodegenerative brain disease, and cases are expected to rise significantly worldwide in the next 20 years as the aging population increases. Research shows that in addition to advanced medications, movement and exercise helps slow the disease’s progression and is central to maintaining balance and mobility in people with Parkinson’s. To help emphasize movement
The boxer Muhammad Ali and the actor Michael J. Fox suffer from Parkinson’s
in managing the disease, the National Parkinson Foundation is sponsoring its second year of Moving Day events. Moving Day features fundraising walks, food and music, plus a Movement Fair with demonstrations of exercise, yoga, Pilates, dance and Tai Chi—all beneficial in limiting Parkinson’s symptoms. Moving Day events will be held in 15 cities nationwide this year, including Minneapolis, Minn.; Kansas City, Kan.;
Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Columbus, Ohio. Right at Home, Inc. is a Champion Sponsor of Moving Day, supporting the National Parkinson Foundation in their effort to cure Parkinson’s disease. For information about Parkinson’s disease, Parkinson’s Awareness Month and Moving Day events, visit www. parkinson.org or call 1-800-327-4545.
