Venezia said, “This year truly is going to top every fashion show The Friends of Dorothy Guild has ever done. Our fashion raves are always a sellout with a waiting list. It is truly, a not-to-be-missed event.”

To date, the Dorothys have raised more than $600,000 for ASF, We couldn’t have accomplished this without the generosity of our partnering vendors and members, “said Venezia.

The stunning models are from Otto Models, hair and make-up by MAC and Studio 4 Salon. Catering provided by Original Tommy’s, Sundried Tomato, The Meat House, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Diva Cupcakes and Barefoot Wine and Bubbly. Special thanks to Susie and Kevin Coleman for the Rave venue.

Legal Advertising: The Newport News was adjudicated by the Orange County Superior Court as a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code 6000 case #A187752 on July 15, 1997 and as such is the appropriate newspaper to place legal and public notices for the South Orange County Judicial District including Balboa, Newport Coast, Corona del Mar and the City of Newport Beach, California.

On May 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Environmental Nature Center (ENC) will host a Summer Nature Camp O p e n House to showcase its eightweek summer camp beginning on July 2.

The ENC is located at 1601 E.16thStreet, in Newport Beach.

The Open House is free to attend.

The ENC encourages families to walk the nature trails and participate in activities with Camp Teachers and Junior Naturalists including: making a cloud in a jar, launching a “poppin’ rocket,” making a volcano, visiting the Butterfly House, as well as seeing and touching live reptiles, amphibians, arthropods, and mammals.

Summer Nature Camp beginning on July 2 and concluding on August 23 consists of eight one-week sessions, each with a different theme, including: Do It Yourself Camp, Planet Protectors, Wilderness Survival, Under the Sea, Outdoor Adventure, Incredible Inventions, Outdoor Creativity, and

Mad Science. The Camp is open to students entering Kindergarten through 6th grade and the sessions are divided into small groups based on age.

Since 1977, the Nature Camp has provided quality science education in an outdoor, hands-on setting. Campers spend most of their time outside observing nature up close using tools like binoculars, magnifying lenses and microscopes. Science concepts are introduced in a fun environment, with crafts, games and hands-on activities.

The cost per session (1 week) is $175, with after-camp care provided for an additional $80; there is no camp on Fridays. These fees cover the costs of instruction, fieldtrip admission and transportation, art and laboratory supplies, and an organic cotton camp

T-shirt. A limited number of partial scholarships are available.

Can Parents Teach Their Preschoolers to Play Chess?

How soon can parents start teaching their children to play chess? In their Mongoose Press book, Chess Is Child’s Play,chess educators Laura Sherman and Bill Kilpatrick contend that parents can teach their children before they reach school age. By breaking down the elements of the game into “minigames,” parents and young children alike can learn chess at their own pace.

“The first challenge was to teach chess to the parent who isn’t familiar with the game,” Sherman says. “We found that some parents were intimidated by chess. However, after applying our techniques they realized that they could learn to play, along with their children. Really anyone can learn to play the game if they are taught properly.”

Sherman and her husband Dan founded Your Chess Coach where they teach dozens of children aged 3-16 each week in various schools. This experience helped them to discover what works and what doesn’t.

“My father taught me to play chess when I was nine years old,” Sherman notes. “I think many parents feel that a child needs to be at least that age to learn, but I have found that very young children love to learn chess and do quite well. Young boys and girls gravitate naturally to a chess set!”

The “Learning to Think Project” in Venezuela showed that IQ increased in elementary school children when they learned to play chess. A study in New York showed that even reading skill can improve thanks to chess. Many other studies around the world give similar results: chess helps children to do better in school and in life.

Chess can even improve children’s social skills. According to Joyce Brown, an educator at the Roberto Clemente School in New York, “Our studies have shown that incidents of suspension and outside altercations have decreased by at least 60 percent since these children became interested in chess.’’

CCC Veterans Crews Complete Training; Working on Fire Reduction Efforts Fifty military veterans, members of four all-veterans California Conservation Corps crews, are now working in California national forests on fuel reduction and fire prevention efforts.

The veterans, based with the CCC in Auburn, Lake Tahoe, San Bernardino and San Diego, recently completed a week-long training under the direction of the U.S. Forest Service.

The CCC/ USFS partnership is aimed at easing the veterans’ transition from military service to the civilian workforce and can lead to potential forestry and firefighting jobs through the Forest Service’s Wildland Fire Apprenticeship Program.

Funding for the crews is provided by the Forest Service through the CCC/USFS partnership as well as from the operating budget of the California State Assembly through the leadership of Speaker John A. Pérez.

“I am very proud the Assembly was able to help make the recent training a success by providing funds to the Conservation Corps through cutting our own budget,” said Speaker Pérez.

“These soldiers, who are willing to risk their lives for our country, deserve to have every opportunity to find a quality, decent job that lets them provide

for their family, and this program does exactly that.”

The CCC is still recruiting veterans for additional crew openings. Those interested may contact the Corps at 1-800-952-JOBS or contact Tina Ratcliff by phone at (916) 341-3123 or e-mailtina.ratcliff@ccc.ca.gov.

The CCC hired its first three veterans crews in 2011. Many of the participants have been hired by land management agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service and California State Parks. The California Conservation Corps is a state agency hiring young

men and women for a year of natural resource work and emergency response. Since it was established in 1976 by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr., more than 115,000 young people have been a part of the program.

OCTA Board Approves $4.7 Million for Environmental Restoration Projects The Laguna Canyon Foundation is one of six applicants that received funding to restore habitat in Orange County. A total of 55 acres in Aliso Creek will be restored to its natural condition.

OCTA Board of Directors today approved $4.7 million in funds for six restoration projects that will help preserve open space lands throughout Orange County.

Funds will restore a total of 214 acres in Brea, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Yorba Linda and the County of Orange.

The restoration work will include removal of invasive and non-native weeds and plants and the reestablishment of native vegetation that play an important role in the ecosystem.

These efforts also encourage the return of native wildlife to reoccupy their former habitats. The work may begin as soon as early 2013 once a restoration plan and grants agreement for each project is complete.

The six restoration proposals possess the necessary biological value that would enable OCTA to obtain mitigation assurances and accelerate the environmental permit process for the 13 M2 freeway projects.

Masterpiece Ball Brings PBS SoCaL $853k at 2012 Gala PBS SoCaL’s 2012 “Masterpiece Ball,” held at the Atlantic Aviation Hangar at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana had more than 350 attendees celebrating art, culture and education that benefited the station’s PBS educational outreach in Southern California.

The hosted cocktail reception was held out on the tarmac where guests were treated to champagne, beautiful cars, and passed hors d’oeuvres while watching the sunset over John Wayne Airport.

When the trumpets sounded, folks were escorted into the aviation hanger (which houses airplanes by day). The room was stunning, decorated exquisitely with a white shiny floor and white large round clusters of lights hanging from the tall ceilings with white streamers connecting each of the clusters for a dramatic effect. The tables decorated with purple linens, gold chairs and white china set the appropriate mood for the theme.

This black tie affair had some guests decked out in their costumes. From George and Julie Argyros with their period masks, Mindy and Glenn Sterns, Betty and Wiley Aiken and even TV actress Marcia Cross, men and women dressed to a “T”displaying the finest of the Victorian era.

Ed Arnold and Ann Pulice from PBS SoCaL’s Real Orange, served as Masters of Ceremonies where they introduced Dr. Jo Ellen Chatham, KOCE-TV Foundation Chair.

The fifth annual gala honored “Downtown Abbey” and Masterpiece Theatre Executive Producer Rebecca Eaton, the woman who brought the hit PBS series to America. Also honored were Southern California arts benefactors Marybelle and Sebastian Paul Musco and South Coast Repertory and Founding Artistic Directors David Emmes and Martin Benson. Each honoree was individually highlighted in a video presentation produced by Maria Hall-Brown.

Crème de la Crème once again wowed the crowd with a first course of Bibb Lettuce Wedge with Heirloom tomatoes, Maytag Bleu Cheese and Aged Red Wine Vinaigrette with an Heirloom Beet Salad. The main entrée consisted of an absolutely delicious Braised Boneless Short Ribs with Guinness, Dried Cherries and Sweet Potatoes. It was served with Creamy Parmesan Polenta, Cippolini Onions, Braised Brussel Sprouts and a vegetable tower. Dessert was just as yummy with a Three Berry Trifle, Cherry Strudel with Cherry Sauce and Chocolate Bread Pudding Timbale with English Toffee and Sabayon.

During dinner, guests were entertained by professional dancers from Motion/ Tribe, and enjoyed listening to“You Lift Me Up” sung by one of Orange County High School of the Arts’ talented singers, Landon Swick. Attendees also were captivated by a surprise performance by “Mel and the Mel-Adjusteds”featuring PBS SoCaL President and CEO Mel Rogers, and the Mel-Adjusteds Jim McCluney, Jim Mazzo, Rick Reiff and Glenn Stearns.

The live auction portion of the evening had some high-profile auction items that included: Host a Party for Friends at Bluewater Grill, that went for $4500; 6-night Wild West Luxury Getaway at a Custom House in Southwestern Utah brought in $5000; A Dugout Suite with seating for 12 at a Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball game was sold twice at $3500 for a total of $7,000; A 4-night stay and Airfare to Istanbul, Turkey went for $10,000 and $4,000 bought 3-nights at Casa del Rey in Cabo San Lucas. A man’s Corum Admiral Competition Titanium and Rose Gold Watch sold for $10,000 and a 7-night Stay at Casa Piazza in Manzanillo, Mexico’s exclusive La Punta went twice at $8,000 for a total of $16,000.

The live auction was followed by a Fund-The-Need campaign supporting PBS SoCaL’s educational goals. Total proceeds from the gala are estimated at $853,000.00 and benefit the KOCE-TV Foundation, which is focused on making PBS SoCaL the leading educational force in homes throughout the greater Southland area.

After dinner and auction, folks were entertained by JT and California Dreamin’;they kept the evening lively with a 45-member band, fronted by John Tu and featured an ensemble of outstanding entertainers. On their way out, guests received an amazing Page 10

Rich Fellers Claims $60,000 Grand Prix of California

Rich Fellers guides Colgan Cruise to the only clear round of the $60,000 Grand Prix of California

The reigning World Cup Champion, Rich Fellers, once again rode away to victory in flawless fashion at Showpark Ranch and Coast in Del Mar, California. With the sun shining and the crowds filling up the stands, it was the place to be for some exhilarating competition. Fellers was just warming up with a solid one-two finish in the $10,000 1.40M Jumper Classic, presented by CardFlex. He then went on to steal the show with the only clear round in the $60,000 Grand Prix of California, presented by EQU Lifestyle Magazine. Giving his World Cup winning mount Flexible a well deserved week off from showing, Fellers was able to showcase some of his other notable mounts over the Grand Prix grass course here at the Del Mar Horse Park.

Today’s Grand Prix course was yet another reputable track built by th e prominent course designer Anthony D’Ambrosio. Twenty-nine horse and rider combinations took on the challenge and after a few rounds it appeared that it was going to take a superior ride to master the 14 obstacle test. The talk of the track was an early vertical-oxer double combination that prevented many riders from continuing onto the jumpoff. “It was big,” Fellers smirked, “and anytime you put something that big early in the course it typically causes problems. The distance was set so you had to be precise. Too fast or too slow, it wouldn’t work. Overall, it was a really good 1.50M course” Eighteen of the twenty-nine rounds Page 14

came up with at least one rail at the 3ab combination. Other fences the competitors faced included a skinny vertical, a liverpool oxer to vertical combination, a huge triple bar, and a spooky vertical-vertical double combination that created a collection of refusals and rails.

In the final rounds of the class, Lise Gregory and Alec Lawler’s Crown Princess had one of the best rides through the complex 3ab combination. However with an unfortunate rail later in the course, the pair finished with just four faults in a time of 82.005, good enough for third. Zamiro (8), owned byAlix Fargo, and Susie Artes were the fastest of the four faulters, stopping the clock at 81.921 and finishing in second respectively. If it wasn’t going to be the unstoppable champion Flexible himself to take the win, it was going to be one sired by him.

Rich Fellers’ 10 year old Irish Sport Horse mare, Colgan Cruise, owned

by Harry Chapman and Fellers, is sired by the champion. “She sure doesn’t look like Flexible,” Fellers laughed, “but she sure has the same heart he does. I took it easy with her last week (Del Mar National) to build her confidence and she felt as good as ever this week. I was very happy with her.”

Earlier in the day, it became an overall team effort when Rich Fellers rode away with both first and second in the $10,000 1.40M Jumper Classic, presented by CardFlex. Dynamo is owned by Harry Chapman and

The Newport News

Fellers and McGuiness is owned by Harry and Molly Chapman Friday evening’s featured class was the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby. A strong field of 40 horse and rider combinations took on the track by Joe Lombardo for this high performance challenge. By the end of the Classic Round, the leaderboard had veteran rider John French sitting in the top three slots going into the Handy Round. Gabanno lead the way with a Classic Round score of 175. Small Affair and Celtic were both sitting comfortably in second and third with scores of 170.

Joe Lombardo built a fluid classic course, however, when the top twelve returned for the Handy Round, there was a range of obstacles that resulted in a lot of movement amongst the final top twelve placings. With the four option fences, multiple tight turns, a ride up the bank to a vertical and back down to another vertical, a hand gallop to an oxer and a trot approach over the final fence, it became a tactical round in which the horse’s ability needed to be considered. “I wanted to boost my horses’ confidence in the classic round,” French explained about Small Affair, “so I didn’t take all the options. My horse felt really good in the warmup ring so even though there were a few spooky fences to look out for in the classic round, I did the same in the Handy round and it turned out great.” John French and Small Affair were able to rack up handy points with their quality of ride, movement,

and overall style throughout the round to walk away Champions.

Gabanno, owned by Elizabeth McGillivray, was the final horse to tackle the Handy Round. After tracking up the bank nicely, “He sort of scooted down the hill,” explained French, “and picked up speed. I tried to leave him alone to relax, but that caused him lose focus a bit,” resulting in an unfortunate dropped rail. Celtic, owned

by Heritage Farms Inc., was a new mount for French in the Derby yet was still confident he could handle the spooky jumps and options without a problem. Proving French right with a Handy Round score of 193, Celtic came out of the Handy Round as well earned Reserve Champion.

Multiple riders were able to adjust the track to their horse’s ability and move up the leaderboard.

Notable mentions go to Christa Endicott and Davlyn Farms’ Answered Prayer who came into the Handy Round in 12th, taking all the high options and adding style to her ride to collect additional handy points and finish 3rd respectfully.

The competition continues in Del Mar for the Showpark June Jamboree, May 31st - June 3rd. It will then shift up to San Juan Capistrano for six weeks with the Blenheim June Classic Series, June 6th - 24th, Blenheim Red, White & Blue, June 27th - July 1st, and the Blenheim Jumper Classic, July 6th - 8th.

LCAD Launches High School Animation Exchange Program Laguna College of Art + Design’s (LCAD) Animation program recently instituted a program reaching out to Warren High School in Downey, California, enabling talented students from both institutions to collaborate on real-world experiences in the animation industry.

Following a recruitment presentation in February to eager Warren High students by LCAD Animation Program Chair David Kuhn and Professor David Pruiksma, approximately 50 of those students visited the LCAD campus to view the Chris Sander’s Original Art show, exhibiting exclusively in the LCAD gallery. The high-schoolers were thrilled with the show, impressed with the campus, and as a result of connection and discussion between David Kuhn, the chairperson of LCAD Animation and the student’s instructor Bill Austin, the college is now hosting 10 select students who have apprenticed by assisting college seniors to create films for their year-end projects and portfolios. Over the course of three weekly sessions, the high school students watch the films in progress, and then are given tasks to assist with which include animating, rough in-betweening or clean-up and coloring.

The program provides an opportunity for younger students interested in animation to earn practical experience working on high-quality, fully animated films. The teaching experience reciprocally allows the opportunity for LCAD seniors to hone their communication skills and develop teaching techniques. “The first meeting with the

High School students was so successful that our seniors told us the helpers all exceeded expectations, and they can’t wait for further interaction,” remarked LCAD Professor David Pruiksma. “It’s great to see something like this take off, and we hope to continue this program next year with other high schools as well.”

The culmination of the program will result in the Laguna Animation Film Festival (LAFF) to be held at South Coast Cinema in Laguna Beach on May 12, where the student films will

debut for the public and industry professionals. Here, the high school students will be able to see the films they worked on and their names up in the credits up on the big screen. LCADs Animation program is world-class in caliber and promotes the development of individual artistic skills while enhancing the creative imagination. Graduates have gone on to work for animation giants that include Disney, Pixar, Nickelodeon and Fox Television.

PHYSICIAN REFERRAL COMPANY SUPPORTS PEOPLE IN TRANSITION

Gary Calvaneso, Mary Baker, Sandra McElwee, Miriam Kang, Linda Matulis

When your primary care physician tells you that you need to see a specialist, most patients assume their doctor will refer them to a quality physician. After all, anyone who is going to treat you should be board-certified, well versed in the latest techniques and have an impressive record of successes with other patients; right?

Well it may come as a surprise that the referral system doesn’t actually work that way. Most people assume their primary care doctor has a rolodex of top notch specialists to pass along as needed. In today’s fast paced world, primary care physicians simply don’t have the time to go out, research and meet with other specialists.

With specialists operating margins falling over the past decade and health care reforms putting pressure on their bottom line, quality specialists have a need to do a better job educating referring doctors and patients about their expertise.

That’s where 2 local residents, Gary Calvaneso and Sandra McElwee who met through Saddleback Church, decided there was an opportunity to work with quality specialists and educate referring primary care physicians about their skills. In early 2011, they formed a referral marketing company called The Referral Specialists (www.TheReferralSpecialists.com).

Page 16

The Newport News

The Referral Specialists provide practice representatives and referral marketing services to specialty physicians.

Practice representatives are experienced healthcare professionals who call on primary care physicians and complementary specialists to educate them about their specialist client’s expertise.

Since starting their business, their specialty physician clients have experienced positive gains as a direct result of their services. Typically these specialists triple or quadruple the number of referring physicians who refer to them and increase their bottom line. In fact, the Referral Specialists business caught the attention of the Wall Street Journal’s Smart Money magazine where they were mentioned by name.

“Our business connects quality specialists with PCP’s (Primary Care Physicians) through referral marketing, said Gary Calvaneso, Managing Partner. Educating the medical community not only benefits everyone in the medical market but also produces jobs which is something that our community really needs”.

Aside from achieving positive results for their clients, what makes The Referral Specialists unique is their dedication to helping those that are unemployed and need help. For Calvaneso, it is something he takes to heart.

Nearly every Monday for the past 6 years, Calvaneso has been a volunteer at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, listening to and coaching unemployed people with a smile and an offer of hope.

“For our practice reps, we only consider candidates that are unemployed” said Calvaneso. “We are not interested in recruiting people that already have a job and an income. We prefer to support those that do not. It is our way of giving back to the community by helping those in need which is a principle of our faith.”

“You would be surprised at the high level of unemployed talent there is out there” said Sandra McElwee, Managing Partner. “One of our practice reps is a senior woman with over 25 years of pharmaceutical sales experience calling on physicians’ offices. She was out of work for over 2 years before joining up with us and has done a great job for our clients”.

Not only do the Referral Specialists focus on working with unemployed candidates, but they also do the same for suppliers. “We wanted to apply our faith based principles of helping those in need to all aspects of our business, said Calvaneso”. “Even the caterer we use is trying to generate income through a home based business. What employers need to understand is that being unemployed has nothing to do with talent or quality. We carefully screen our suppliers, looking for skill and quality first. The doctors all rave about her food and she now gets additional business from them”.

“We have a stay-at-home mom who makes some of the best toffee you’ll ever taste, right out of her home kitchen. Here again, our clients rave about her toffee and have provided her additional business” said Calvaneso.

For his volunteerism in supporting people in transition in 2011, Calvaneso received the Orange County Spirit of Volunteerism Award as part of the leadership team managing Saddlebacks Career Coaching and Counseling program.

If you are a physician with a specialty medical practice and are interested in a free consultation to learn more about how The Referral Specialists can help increase referrals from other physicians, visit their website at www.

“BEETHOVEN’S NINTH” INSIDE AND OUT Beethoven’s crowning achievement, the epic and exquisite Symphony No. 9, “Choral”—featuring the soul-stirring “Ode to Joy,” which has thrilled listeners around the world for nearly two centuries—brings Pacific Symphony’s 2011-12 classical season to a memorable close in a variety of ways. First! The concert, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, features a monumental union of orchestra and voices that includes Pacific Chorale and four world-class opera singers—soprano Kelley Nassief; mezzo-soprano Susana Poretsky; tenor Chad Shelton; and bass Kevin Deas—who take on the florid and challenging solo passages in the fourth movement of Beethoven’s Ninth. Completing the program are two timely works by Frank Ticheli: “Rest” (a world premiere version for strings) and “Radiant Voices,” a hopeful response to the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, providing a stunning prelude.

Taking place Thursday-Saturday, May 31, June 1-2, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, this concert is also part of the Symphony’s Music Unwound series and includes a display of Beethoven-inspired artwork by local artists who responded to the call: “OC Can You Create?” (more below). A

preview talk by composer Ticheli begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25-$110; for more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.

Second! Pacific Symphony, in association with Segerstrom Center for the Arts, presents the very first “Pacific Symphony Plazacast,” a live simulcast of the Symphony’s Beethoven Ninth performance shown on the Center’s Arts Plaza during the Saturday, June 2, concert starting at 9 p.m., with festivities, including a selection of food available for purchase, beginning at 8:30 p.m. The evening is a prismatic celebration of Maestro St.Clair’s 60th birthday, the Center’s 25th anniversary and John Alexander’s 40th anniversary as artistic director of Pacific Chorale, hosted

by Classical KUSC’s Rich Capparela.

This unique event is free and open to the public with no ticket required.

The community is invited to come early, bring chairs and blankets, and picnic on the plaza, while enjoying a preview and live interviews by Capparela with key guest artists—and a few surprises.

“Beethoven’s Ninth is a symphony in search of a voice,” says Maestro St.Clair. “Yet, we don’t hear that voice until the final movement. ‘Ode to

Joy’ has become an anthem for peace, for unification, for brotherly love, for manhood, and it’s just a simple little tune that we all know and can hum.”

When Beethoven’s Ninth premiered in 1824, conducted by the composer himself, he was so profoundly deaf that he heard nary a note. Nor did he hear the five standing ovations the epic choral work received. This is the final complete symphony of Beethoven, which has become one of the bestknown works of the Western classical repertoire, and has been adapted for use as the European Anthem.

The symphony is considered one of Beethoven’s masterpieces and one of the greatest musical compositions ever written. It’s also the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony. The words were taken from “Ode to Joy,” a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785. “‘Radiant Voices,’ though composed in 1993 as a result of his feelings about the L.A. riots, is more a hopeful statement that something

positive would come from this dark time,” says St.Clair. “Also, because he knew the orchestra so well, there are many solos for specific players and instruments. It starts with a cello solo; there’s also a trumpet solo, a clarinet solo, a flute cadenza, wonderful moments for just strings and a lot of percussion. It ends with an incredible joyful quality of sound and an energy that is quite positive, which is Frank Ticheli in a nutshell.”

This set of concerts is generously sponsored by Tara and David Troob.

Pacific Symphony’s classical series performances are made possible by the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation, with additional support from American Airlines, The Westin South Coast Plaza, KUSC and PBS SoCal.

For Value, Look to South Africa

By David White Value-conscious wine consumers know to avoid marquee regions like Napa Valley and Burgundy.

Those who are comfortable with the obscure find value in places like Spain, northern Italy, and France’s Loire Valley. Those who are more comfortable with easy-to-pronounce locales stick to places like Argentina, New Zealand, and California’s Central Coast.

All value seekers should add South Africa to their lists.

South Africa’s wine industry can trace its roots to 1650s, when the Dutch East India Company established an outpost at the Cape of Good Hope to provide its merchants, who were constantly voyaging from Europe to East Asia, with fresh food and supplies. The settlers were urged to plant vineyards, as wine could defend against scurvy.

Over the next 300 years, South Africa’s wine industry experienced all manner of ups and downs. But by and large, local vintners were more interested in quantity than quality, primarily producing cheap wine for local consumption.

South Africa’s modern wine era began in 1973, when lawmakers created the “Wine of Origin” system to regulate labeling. A number of quality brands soon launched, but even then, South Page 18

African wine remained a local beverage.

Because of Apartheid -- the system of institutionalized racial segregation -- most Western nations refused to trade with South Africa.

When South Africa’s last remaining Apartheid laws were abolished in the early 1990s, the world suddenly opened up. And a young entrepreneur -- Andre Shearer -- made it his mission to share South Africa’s finest wines with the world.

Twenty years have passed, and Shearer is still on that mission. Today, his company, Cape Classics, is the largest importer of South African wines to the United States. And Shearer hasn’t yet tired of promoting his nation’s wines.

“The value of South African wines is extraordinary,” Shearer explained over breakfast one recent morning. “The past few years have actually been very good for us, because Americans are seeking value. Retailers and sommeliers are looking for good wine that’s affordable -- and American consumers are open minded and willing to try wines from unfamiliar places.”

To most Americans, South Africa remains an “unfamiliar place.” That’s why Shearer understands his job is far from over.

Consider a basic question. Is SouthAfrica a New World or Old World wine region?

At first blush, the answer seems

The Newport News

obvious. South Africa is still finding its footing in the global market, so obviously, it’s a New World region.

Then again, South Africa has been producing wine for nearly 350 years. When Napoleon was exiled to Saint Helena in 1815, he found solace in “Constantia,” a South African dessert wine that’s still produced.

So it’s a trick question.

Over the past year, I’ve tasted hundreds of wines from South Africa. With virtually every classic variety -- Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon -- the best wines bridge the gap between the Old World and the New World. In other words, South African vintners don’t try to hide the sunshine, yet they don’t go overboard. South Africa’s top wines are unabashedly ripe but also show finesse.

For these varieties, some labels to look for include Glen Carlou, Kanonkop, Thelema, De Morgenzon, Rust en Vrede, and Mulderbosch.

Then there’s South African Chenin Blanc, which is both stunning and affordable -- yet somehow remains under the radar.

Although the grape’s ancestral home is France’s Loire Valley, more than half the world’s plantings of Chenin Blanc are in South Africa. Just like vintners in France, South African producers make

the wine in a variety of styles, from bone dry to lusciously sweet.

For my palate, fresh Chenin Blanc is unbeatable as an everyday white wine.

When well crafted, Chenin Blanc is bursting with fresh fruit and delicate floral aromas, and backed by crisp acidity.

Raats Family Wines and Ken Forrester both make delightful Chenin Blanc for around $13 per bottle.

Andre Shearer doesn’t expect South African wine to “explode” in popularity anytime soon. He’s seen slow but steady growth over the past twenty years, and expects that trend to continue. Yet his nation is consistently producing many fantastic wines, and virtually all are good values.

Americans are eager to try new wines, and we’re more price-conscious than ever before. So I’m expecting an explosion.

12 minutes a day mental gymnastics Memory exercises performed for just 12 minutes a day for 8 consecutive weeks have proven to to keep the brain sharp and can reverse memory loss in those at risk for developing alzheimers. The memory exercise called Kirtan Kriya has been researched and tested, and has proven to be beneficial to the people at risk, as well as their caregivers.

“Kirtan Kriya is scientifically proven to boost blood flow to critical brain areas and increase mental energy, sharpen concentration and improve focus,” explains Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa, Medical Director of the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation. Because of its demonstrated mental health benefits, Kirtan Kriya has been vigorously studied by the ARPF in concert with scientists from top medical schools such as UCLA, USCF, and the University of Pennsylvania, and findings have been published in prestigious medical journals such as the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.

“As a result of the extraordinary findings of these studies, Kirtan Kriya has been endorsed by the ARPF as a way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.”utive weeks have proven to to keep the brain sharp and can reverse memory loss

in those at risk for developing alzheimers. The memory extraordinary findings of these studies, Kirtan Kriya has been endorsed by the ARPF as a way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.” According to Dr. Dharma, Kirtan Kriya (pronounced “Keertun Kreea”), is a type of meditation derived from the Kundalini yoga tradition, which has been practiced for thousands of years. This meditation is often referred to as a singing exercise, and it involves singing the primal sounds “Saa”, “Taa”, “Naa”, and “Maa”, along with repetitive finger and thumb movements, or mudras. “The current recommendation for practicing Kirtan Kriya was developed by combining thousands of years of ancient techniques with millions of dollars of scientific study,” says Dr. Dharma.

“The number one fear among adults is losing their mental faculties. It is important that people understand that

by taking preventative measures and making lifestyle changes, such as incorporating Kirtan Kriya exercises into a daily routine, we can reduce the number of people developing Alzheimer’s by as much as 50 percent,” continues Dr. Dharma. It is believed that the placement of the tongue on the roof of the mouth while carrying out Kirtan Kriya chanting sounds stimulates 84 acupuncture points on the upper palate, causing a beneficial biochemical transformation in the brain. Additionally, research has revealed that utilizing the fingertip position in conjunction with the sounds enhances blood flow to particular

areas in the motor-sensory part of the brain. The exercise increases brain blood flow to critically important areas and promotes greater attention, concentration, focus, improved short term memory, and better mood.

“Our research revealed a reduction in inflammation, less depression and a 44 percent increase in the enzyme known as telomerase, which is a breakthrough anti-aging discovery,” explains Dr. Dharma. “Essentially when you have more telomerase, you live longer in better health and with an improved memory.” More information is available at http://www.alzheimersprevention.org/research.htm

Hamic as Madame Thénardier, Betsy Morgan as Fantine, Jason Forbach as Enjolras, Chasten Harmon as Éponine, Max Quinlan as Marius and Lauren Wiley as Cosette.

The Star-Ledger says “a dynamically re-imagined hit. This Les Misérables has improved with age” and NY1-TV proclaims “this new production actually exceeds the original. The storytelling is clearer, the perspective grittier and the motivations more honest. Musical theatre fans can rejoice: Les Miz is born again.”

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.”

When Les Misérables celebrated its 21st London birthday on October 8, 2006, it became the World’s LongestRunning 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. The Broadway production of Les Misérables originally opened at the Broadway Theatre on March 12, 1987 and transferred to the Imperial Theatre on October 17, 1990 running for 6,680 performances.
