The City of Newport Beach has selected Scott Poster as its next fire chief.

Poster has more than three decades of experience in the fire service and is currently employed as a deputy chief for the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LA County Fire). His most recent assignment is with the Special Services Bureau, where he oversees a budget of more than $60 million dollars and manages over 300 employees in Command and Control, Fleet Services, Information Management and Construction and Maintenance.

City Manager Dave Kiff said, “We patiently searched for the right fit - the ideal mix of experience, education, and leadership style - for Newport Beach and we have found it in Chief Poster. His resume is impressive, but I believe his proven ability to manage and deliver is what the department and the community will soon realize are his strongest assets.”

Poster joined LA County Fire in 1983 as a firefighter and was steadily promoted to serve in increasingly responsible capacities throughout the department’s divisions and bureaus including fire and lifeguard operations, fire prevention, and administration.

Prior to his assignment with the Special Services Bureau, Poster served as interim director of the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System, a joint powers authority comprised of public safety agencies throughout Los Angeles County who have joined to develop a $600-million, interoperable communication system. He has served the region on command teams at the Shuttle Columbia Disaster, Hurricane Katrina, and other large, all-risk incidents.

Poster earned a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Studies and a Master of Science in Emergency Services Administration from the California State University, Long Beach. He is a state-certified fire officer, a fire instructor and holds numerous state and federal qualifications in incident command.

As Newport Beach Fire Chief, Poster will direct a department of 136 sworn and 13 non-sworn full-time employees, and approximately 200 seasonal employees, divided into three major department divisions: Fire Operations, Fire Administration and Fire Prevention.

Poster’s annual salary will be $204,984.

Poster has lived in Orange County for 35 years. He currently resides in Aliso Viejo with his wife Barbara, and has two children in college, Stephanie and Jeffrey.

Sons of the Pioneers Concert The internationally renowned and legendary Sons of the Pioneers will perform on Tuesday, February 7 at 7:30 pm at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 600 St. Andrews Road , Newport Beach , CA . Tickets are $25 to $40. Information may be found at www.taabc.org or by calling (714) 708-1670.

They are the premier western singing group who musically paint unforgettable images and stories of horses, cattle, cowboys, “night herds,” tall timber, canyons and prairies with songs like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds,” “Cool Water” and “Ghost Riders in the Sky.” The Pioneers are members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Western Music Association Hall of Fame and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. The Smithsonian Institute named them . . . “National Treasures.”

The concert is being sponsored and hosted by The All-American Boys Chorus, which is based in Costa Mesa . “We’re delighted at this opportunity to present the Sons of the Pioneers in this lovely church,” states AABC Executive Director Anthony Manrique, “We’re also thrilled that our Concert Chorus will perform a couple of songs with the Pioneers during the concert! It’s our hope that

many of our friends and alumni will come to the concert, and that we find new friends as well.” He goes on to say that proceeds from this concert will help fund The All-American Boys Chorus’s leadership training and vocal and music education programs for boys ages 8 to 15.

First started by Roy Rogers and the gifted songwriters Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer the Sons of the Pioneers garnered national and international fans through appearances in over 90 movies, numerous radio shows, major label recordings and television appearances. As each prior member retired there has always been a carefully selected talented replacement enabling the group to keep its identity continuous and unbroken.

Their sound today is still the sound which inspired the formation of numerous other Western singing groups which followed. The popularity of the Pioneers’ brand of Western music is not connected to charts and fads. It’s an eternal interest in the American West, its beauty, its values and its culture.

The current six members are a mix of heritage and “new energy” dedicated to the unique harmonies and sound which are the hallmark of the Pioneers. Each multi-talented

member adds distinctive facets to the overall performance.

Forty year member Luther Nallie is “trail boss” of the group who acts as curator of their trademark sound.

He sings baritone and adds accompaniment on guitar, bass and clarinet. Thirty year member Gary LeMaster takes some solo parts and plays lead guitar. High tenor Ken Lattimore also plays fiddle and mandolin. Randy Rudd has a rich and clean solo voice, plays rhythm guitar and gives some running chatter. World Champion fiddle player Ricky Boen provides a lot of “ Texas swing” while bass player Mark Abbott adds a dose of comedy to each performance.

The All-American Boys Chorus, a non-profit organization founded in 1970, utilizes music education as the medium to instill and foster leadership skills and characteristics in its current membership of 115 boys. The Chorus is committed to community involvement, and has performed for more than 60,000 school children through

its acclaimed music education programs. The AABC has released five albums and has performed concerts worldwide; the most recent being a 24-day tour in Oregon, Washington and the Canadian provices of British Columbia and Alberta last summer.

They will tour the USA Midwest this coming April. AABC choristers have sung before some of the nation’s most prestigious audiences—from U.S. presidents to well-known celebrities, including Josh Groban, Tony Bennett, Paul Anka and Melissa Manchester. There have also been artistic collaborations with the Disney Company, Pacific Symphony, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

THE FIFTH ANNUAL PACIFIC COAST WINE FESTIVAl SUPPORTING PACIFIC SYMPHONY Pacific Coast Wine Festival (PCWF) celebrates its fifth anniversary by bringing the best of Napa Valley and beyond­ to Orange County for a sensational evening filled with world-class wines, enticing, rare auction items and a lavish gourmet feast. Taking place Saturday, March 3, at the luxurious Island Hotel in Newport Beach, this year’s event promises to be more unique than ever with all new wines to taste chosen by Advanced Sommelier Jim Houston from Charlie Palmer; a new five-course meal prepared by the Island’s chef David Man; and two rare bottles of Screaming Eagle up for auction. Roaming sommeliers and winemakers assist guests as they explore the different personalities of wines from the newer cult boutiques in California to the old-world wines of Rhone and Burgundy. Live and silent auctions offer some of the world’s most coveted wines, as well as luxury items and exclusive dining and destination experiences. The evening, which is not just for wine enthusiasts and collectors, but also for those who wish to support music education, includes a special solo performance by Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra cellist Philip Sheegog.

Considered an important fundraiser, the event’s proceeds benefit Pacific Symphony’s award-winning artistic and education programs designed to inspire children to embrace a lifetime love of great music. Seating is limited; tickets start at $375 per person; for information on purchasing tables or tickets, please contact Ricki Shab at (714) 876-2364 or rshabPacificSymphony.org and visit www.PacificSymphony.org/PSWF and www.PacificCoastWineFestival.com.

The PCWF enjoys support from some of the wine industry’s major players including Southern Wine and Spirits, Golden State Wine and Learn “What I enjoy most about wine is that it’s a constant learning experience,” says Mike Kerr, the wine festival’s founder and committee member. “Different winemakers, terroirs and harvests can produce profoundly different wines even if made from the same grape varietals. And the Pacific Coast Wine Festival offers a fun, relaxed atmosphere to taste and acquire some of the best and most interesting wines produced each year. We’re offering a solid line-up of about 40-50 wines to taste (go slowly and just sip!) as well as great wine to purchase in our silent

and live auctions. Come join us for a great evening!”

Every year the festival continues to grow in scope and spirit—last year’s dinner and auction attracted hundreds of guests and netted approximately $160,000 for the Symphony. This year’s event, chaired by Symphony board member Alex McKinnon, is limited to just 325 people with a passion for excellent wine and music education.

The evening gets underway at 5 p.m. in the elegant surroundings of the five-diamond Island Hotel’s ballroom with appetizers, a wide-array of wine-tasting opportunities and a silent auction. The sumptuous wine-paired dinner begins at 7:15 p.m. in the ballroom as the awe-inspiring young cellist Sheegog performs “Julie-O” by Mark Summer. The evening culminates with an exciting live auction, featuring some of the finest wines and auction lots in the United States.

PCWF features a great mixture of wines from California’s best boutique wineries: Crocker & Starr, Chappellet, David Arthur Dragonette, Golden State Wine Co., Hudson Vineyards, Kamen Wines, Lail Vineyards, Miner Family, Patz & Hall, Pride Mountain,

Ramey Wine Cellars, Robert Kacher Selections, Rudius Wines and Stuhlmuller Vineyards. Premium wines from established favorites include: Chateau Montelena, Foley Estates, Layer Cake/ Cherry Pie, Paul Hobbs Imports, Pine Ridge, Seghesio and Silver Oak. Other wineries present are Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou, Chateau Haut-Brion, Chateau Leoville Barton, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Cos d’Estournel, Screaming Eagle, Three Sticks and Vega-Sicilia.

Notable auction items include a Mikimoto 8x9mm Akoya (pearl) necklace with matching stud earrings, two tickets to the Newport Beach Film Festival’s Opening Night Film and Gala, VIP wine tours and tastings and exclusive stays in vineyard guesthouses.

The evening concludes with guests enjoying gourmet chocolates and vintage port.

This grant adds more educational healthy eating and living opportunities to our popular Sunday morning Farmers Market.”

Volunteer faculty and students from universities will assist in supporting wellness and education opportunities. Local volunteer chefs will teach hands-on cooking demonstrations showcasing easy healthy recipes for children, parents and seniors.

Since opening on October 31, 2010, more than 100,000 people have come out to the Great Park Farmers Market to shop for locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Gourmet food vendors allow shoppers to taste and buy honey, chesses, olive oil, breads and sauces.

Leaders Celebrate Completion of Countywide Rail Safety Upgrades OCTA leaders along with local, state and federal officials on Wednesday welcomed the completion of safety upgrades along 52 rail crossings throughout Orange County at a ceremony in Anaheim.

Board Chairman Paul Glaab and Board Directors Lorri Galloway and Carolyn Cavecche joined OCTA CEO Will Kempton to participate in the event along with Orange County Business Council President and CEO Lucy Dunn, California Acting Secretary of the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency Traci Stevens, Operation Lifesaver President Pete Aadland and Federal Railroad Administration’s Ron Ries.

“I applaud Orange County for taking a proactive approach to enhancing rail safety,” Ries said.

“OCTA’s combination of infrastructure improvements at the rail crossings and actively reaching out to the public and teaching them how to be safe along the tracks is a model approach for

counties across the nation.”

Dunn emphasized the importance of having an improved infrastructure to ensure long-term economic strength.

“Ensuring a prosperous future for our residents and businesses requires improving our transportation network,” Dunn said.

“Areas throughout the state are investing in enhanced safety equipment at railroad crossings, but none compare to the collaborative and extensive rail safety program OCTA undertook.”

The $85-million project involved making safety upgrades on 52 crossings in eight cities throughout the county. Upgrades to th e c r o s s i n g s i n c l u d e a d ditional gate crossing arms for motorists and pedestrians, new medians, coordinated traffic signals and additional signage and devices to better warn people of passing trains.

Safety upgrades to the crossings also make the cities eligible to apply for quiet zone status.

Trains in the quiet zones refrain

OCTA officials join local, state and federal leaders on Wednesday to celebrate the completion of the safety upgrades made to 52 rail crossings throughout Orange County at a ceremony in Anaheim.

from sounding their horns except in situations where potential danger may be ahead.

“The improvements allow for the continued expansion of Metrolink while ensuring our communities are safe and residents aren’t routinely disrupted by train horns,” Glaab said. “Even during these tough economic times, OCTA is working to provide viable transportation alternatives

and implement pioneering programs to benefit our community.”

With the anticipation of greater Metrolink train service in the future, the enhanced rail crossings allow trains to run more frequently while giving local residents and businesses along the corridor peace and quiet as well as better safety features to protect everyone living and working in those areas.Inpra,

Anaheim Ducks Raise $100k for Orangewood and CASA Around 650 fans, VIP’s, and supporters of Orangewood Children’s Foundation and CASA attended the 15th Annual Anaheim Ducks Casino Night themed this year “Center Ice White Out” - a night in white with hints of orange, created a magical evening on the center ice at the Honda Center. The event benefited Orangewood Children’s Foundation and CASA of Orange County raising $100,000.00 for programs to support both charities.

Walking into the Honda Center, the center ice area was draped in white cloth that surrounded the entire ice rink. White walls, white flooring, tables, bars, the whole entire décor was white. All the Anaheim Ducks were in attendance, styled in their white tuxedos, along with the coaching staff and team management. Guests were asked to dress in their fashionable “White Haute Couture” attire as well.

The event was hosted by 44 Women for Children chaired by Kimberly Kirksey. Her committee of 15 auxiliary members did an outstanding job; Kelly Bozza, Andrea Casaw, Carey Clawson, Ginny David, Ann Diem, Hope Dorsey, Lupe Erwin, Sherri Hudson, Stacey Kinney, Mari Kurtz, Joyce Piercey, Susan Samueli, Kristen Stephen, Linda Thauer, and Karen Whitfield made the evening a success.

The event began with a VIP reception that included the specialty cocktail for the evening; a Blood Orange Cocktail (it kind of reminded me of a 50/50 bar) along with passed appetizers that included Boudin Blanc and Lobster Salad. There were fun things to do along with the casino game tables. A graffiti wall was available for channeling your inner Dali or one could pose for photos with various Duck players.

Opportunity drawings this year were exciting; there were 15 items to win.

Guests could get a variety of things ranging from a Private Blackjack table for 15 minutes for you and a guest with an Anaheim Ducks Player, a 201112 Anaheim Ducks Team Autographed Jersey, Zamboni Ride at a 2011-12 regular season home game, tickets to a Van Halen Concert or a luxury suite to an Anaheim Ducks regular season home game and many more.

While enjoying the games of Blackjack, Roulette and Craps with their favorite Duck players, guests dined on three different stations of delectable delights. Station one served up Smoked Pork Loin, Anson Mills Polenta with house smoked bacon and caramelized onion and Brussel sprouts; Lamb belly with carrot puree, roasted carrot and black rice; Kabocha Ravioli with sage and brown butter; and Hearts of Palm Salad with toasted Cous Cous served in a lemon vinaigrette. Station two was an Asian delight with a beautiful ice sculpture housing sushi and oysters, guests dined on Hama Hama, Oysters on the half shell (shucked to order of course), with Yuzu Bubbles and hand rolled Sushi and Sashimi. Station three filled us with three delightful soups, White Asparagus, Fennel with Roasted Garlic and Roasted Butternut Squash with Truffle foam.

Oh then the dessert station! Along with the white hot chocolate and mini Baked Alaska, there were Chocolate Mousse Parfait, White Cake Pops and White Mousse Cones, Vanilla Panna Cotta with salted caramel and Spanish peanuts, Truffles and mini cookies. Cantaloupe, Orange Watermelon, Cutie Tangerines and Oranges were also available.

Ryan Getzlaf, Anaheim Ducks Team Captain welcomed everyone and introduced Orangewood CEO Cal Winslow, CASA CEO Gene Howard and the Title Sponsor, the Klein Family. Along with the Klein Family, The Samueli Foundation and San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino sponsored the evening.

After the silent auction area closed, fans were seen walking out with some pretty nifty items. From Anaheim Duck Jerseys, vacations, dinners and conPage 8

certs, fans really had the time of their lives as they got up-close and personal with the Anaheim Duck players, posing for photographs, getting autographs and chatting about the season. Dancing was on the agenda as well with DJ Serafin spinning the hottest dance tunes till the end of the evening.

Orangewood Children’s Foundation mission is to provide innovative services for abused and neglected children and at-risk families to end the cycle of child abuse one life at a time. For more information visit www.orangewoodfoundation.org.

CASA of Orange County has been providing trained community volunteers to serve as both role models and legal advocates for victims of child abuse and neglect. CASA helps to break the cycle of abuse by building self-esteem, life skills and goals for the future.

segerstrom center for the arts celebrates 25th anniversary

Elizabeth and Henry Segerstrom with Willa Dean and General William Lyon

Henry and Elizabeth Segerstrom

Segerstrom Center for the Arts is unique as both an acclaimed arts institution and as a multi-disciplinary cultural campus. It is committed to supporting artistic excellence on all of its stages, offering unsurpassed experiences, and engaging the entire community in new and exciting ways through the unique power of live performance and a diverse array of inspiring programs.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts, originally named the Orange County Performing Arts Center, can trace its roots back to the late 1960s, when a dedicated group of community leaders decided Orange County should have its own world-class performing arts venue. Their vision became reality in September 1986 with the opening of the Orange County Performing Arts Center. Using the same determination, dedication and generosity that allowed the Center to be built entirely through private funding, the Center achieved consistent artistic success, establishing itself as a valuable cultural resource for the entire community. Its international dance series earned the Center a reputation as one Page 10

of the leading presenters of dance in the country. The Center became a favorite stop for national tours of award-winning musicals from Broadway. Its annual music series brought the world’s greatest classical, jazz and cabaret artists to Orange County.

And its innovative arts education programs were lauded by educators and school districts throughout California and beyond.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts is Orange County’s largest non-profit arts organization. It owns and operates the 3,000-seat opera house style Segerstrom Hall, the 2,000-seat Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, the 500-seat multi-functional Samueli Theater, 250-seat Founders Hall and 46,000-square-foot Arts Plaza. The Center’s Lawrence and Kristina Dodge Education Center includes the studio performance space and Boeing Education Lab as well as the offices for the Center’s education department. Other amenities include two private donor rooms, the elegant Leatherby’s Cafe Rouge and the informal Plaza Cafe.

In the late 1960s, a number of

The Newport News

Orange County community leaders decided it was time for their community to have a world-class performing arts venue. The region’s population had grown, businesses were headquartering here and major educational institutions were being established. Three of the county’s existing artistic organizations – the Philharmonic Society of Orange County, Pacific Symphony and Pacific Chorale - needed a concert hall with seating and acoustics appropriate to their needs and the caliber of their artists, a setting in which to grow and achieve greater prestige and recognition. Clearly, the time was right for the creation of a cultural institution worthy of this thriving community.

In the mid 1970s, the local Segerstrom family donated a five-acre site for the original facility. It was also determined that the new performing arts complex would be built entirely through private funding. Government funding would be neither solicited nor accepted. Then named the Orange County Performing Arts Center, the organization held the distinction of being the first of its scope in the country to hold this distinction. Charles Lawrence served as lead architect.

An international team of Dr. A. Harold Marshall, Dennis Paoletti and Jerald R. Hyde designed the acoustics.

The vision of the Center’s founders became reality on September 29, 1986, when Segerstrom Hall Opened its doors to the public for the first time. It was one of the nation’s most innovative and technically advanced homes for the performing arts. Soprano Leontyne Price inaugurated the venue by singing the “Star Spangled Banner” with Zubin Mehta conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

In 1998, the Segerstrom family

made another commitment to the Center. An additional parcel of land was deeded to the Center for the purpose of constructing a concert hall, a multi-use theater, an education center, public restaurant and outdoor community plaza. The creative team of architect Cesar Pelli, acousticians Russell Johnson and Damian Doria of Artec Consultants, Inc. and landscape architect Peter Walker and Partners was engaged for this new project.

Another major step towards the completion of the original dream of the Center’s founders came when, in August 2000, Henry Segerstrom provided the lead gift of $40 million to the Center’s $200 million capital campaign. This was the largest charitable cash gift in the history of Orange County. In recognition of this cornerstone gift, the new concert hall was named the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall after the Center’s founding chairman and his late wife. The 500-seat theater was designated Samueli Theater in recognition of the $10 million gift from the Henry Samueli family.

Groundbreaking for the expanded Center took place on February 6, 2003 with a spectacular concert by the Pacific Symphony in Segerstrom Hall followed by three backhoes synchronized to make the first official digs on the construction site and a breathtaking fireworks display.

2006 was a watermark year for the Center and the community. In April, the Center announced Terrence W. Dwyer as its new president. Dwyer had previously served as managing director of two of the nation’s preeminent theaters - the La Jolla Playhouse and Houston’s Alley Theatre. That same month, Connector, a towering

steel sculpture created by renowned artist Richard Serra, was installed on the new community plaza that unites the Center’s original structure with the newer venues. It was commissioned

by Elizabeth and Henry Segerstrom.

On September 14th, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and a host of other state and local government dignitaries participated in a community dedication ceremony in the concert hall.

The highlight of the year occurred on September 15, 2006, when the Center inaugurated its new Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall with a spectacular concert by Pacific Symphony led by its music director, Carl St. Clair. Featuring Plácido Domingo singing the world premiere of Canciones de Lorca by composer William Bolcom, the evening also included performances

by Pacific Chorale. On September 16, St.Clair, Pacific Symphony and Pacific Chorale performed the world premiere of Philip Glass’ The Passion of Ramakrishna. Violin virtuoso Midori performed the Beethoven Violin Concerto.

The first six weeks celebrating the opening of the new concert hall featured gala celebrations, recitals and concerts offered by the Center and its resident companies, a community day enjoyed by 10,000 people and an unprecedented residency by Russia’s Kirov Orchestra, Opera and Ballet of St. Petersburg. The Kirov companies were led by their artistic director Valery Gergiev. Performances included the North American premiere of the Opera’s production of Wagner’s Ring, Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov, the ballets Romeo and Juliet and Swan Lake, and concerts that included an evening of epic proportions featuring the combined powers of the Kirov Orchestra and Pacific Symphony. Maestros Gergiev and St. Clair shared the podium.

Samueli Theater, opened with a series of events, including the opening concert by Grammy® Award-winner Sheryl Crow, a performance by Camp Freddy and a recital by young opera singers of the Kirov Theatre Conservatory. During this same period, the Center also celebrated its 20th anniversary. A festive evening was marked by a sold-out concert in Segerstrom Hall by legendary vocalist Tony Bennett On January 12, 2011, the Center changed its name to Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The new name honors the extraordinary contributions of the Segerstrom family, whose unwavering commitment has been at the core of the Center’s success.

In addition to the presenting institution Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the entire 14-acre multidisciplinary

The Only Weekly Newspaper Exclusively for the Newport Area

campus on which its venues stand is also designated with the same name.

Segerstrom Center encompasses the producing-presenting institution itself and two other major arts organizations. These include the Tony® Award-winning South Coast Repertory. A gift of land from the Segerstrom Family enabled SCR to open its theater in Costa Mesa in 1978 and set the stage for the subsequent creation of the arts complex. In 2002, SCR opened an expanded facility on the campus, the Folino Theatre Center, encompassing the 507-seat Segerstrom Stage, the 336-seat Julianne Argyros Stage and the Nicholas Studio. Segerstrom Center is also the future site of the new Orange County Museum of Art. In addition to offering a broad spectrum of quality regional, national and international programming, the Center has one of the nation’s most respected departments of education and community programs and has affected the lives of more than 16 million young people and educators. Each year, approximately 375,000 elementary, middle and high school, college students and educators have their lives enriched by attending a Center arts-in-education program such as the Center’s Arts Teach, ArtsConnect, Summer at the Center, Masters at the Center and others. Founders Plus, one of the Center’s many support groups, helps to distribute thousands of free tickets to students and the underserved each year.

Support groups and service organizations help to raise funds and community awareness for the Center. Participation and membership provide members with opportunities

to enjoy many events and to share and enhance their love for the arts.

The Guilds of the Center, Angels of the Arts, Center Stars, Founders Plus and Center Docents provide important financial and ambassadorial support for the Center through their activities, dues structures and fundraisers.

January 27, 2012

Since opening, Segerstrom Center it has established an enviable record of artistic excellence and fiscal stability. It will continue to be driven by its belief in the power and beauty of the performing arts to enrich and enhance the quality of life in the community.

The outstanding rookies include, Fatima “TNT” Maddox of Temple University, the team’s first female player since 1993 and ninth female in team history.

The new Globetrotters also feature the top three finishers from the 2011 College Slam Dunk Contest, including the reigning champ Jacob “Hops” Tucker. At 5-10, Tucker sports a 50-inch vertical leap, and his YouTube videos have garnered well over four million views.

LARRY KING TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR SAVING LIVES Guard A Heart, a foundation dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease prevention, announced that it will be presenting the first Guardian of Hearts Award to Larry King in recognition of his contribution to saving lives through The Larry King Cardiac Foundation. The award will be presented at a private pre-Oscar party to be held at the Avalon Theater in Hollywood on February 25, 2012. This invitation-only event will include foreign dignitary, politicians & celebrities.

Also being honored will be Dr. Louis Ignarro, co-recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for demonstrating the signaling properties of nitric oxide to improve cardiovascular health and prevent heart disease. His ground-breaking work— the basis for his 2005 bestselling book, NO More Heart Disease— established Dr. Ignarro as perhaps the world’s leading authority on the nutritional approach to cardiac wellness.

The exclusive gala represents the launch of Guard A Heart’s “Know Your Risk, Save A Live” campaign to raise awareness about the importance of effective risk assessment in preventing heart attacks. Doug HarPage 14

rington, M.D., CEO of Aviir Heart Laboratories & Tom Quertermous, Chairman of Cardiology Research at Stanford University will present the award to Mr. Larry King. Aviir is a biotechnology company founded by cardiologists and scientists at Stanford University, dedicated to the prevention of cardiovascular disease through innovative laboratory tests.

“The mission of Guard a Heart is the prevention of heart attacks through greater awareness of risk assessment options and healthy lifestyle choices,” said Dr. Harrington. “So, the two foundations are very complementary and we commend them both for their dedication to reducing the devastating impact of cardiovascular disease. Since February is American Heart month, I believe that this timely award will serve a very important role in bringing public attention to these important messages.”

Cardiovascular disease is the num-

The Newport News

ber one cause of death in the United States, with 1.2 million people having heart attacks every year - resulting in 400,000 lost lives. Although many patients do survive, they often suffer life-altering consequences. The mission of Guard A Heart is to educate people on the importance of risk assessment, starting at age 20, so the appropriate steps become a priority to prevent heart attacks.

The Larry King Cardiac Foundation (LKCF) was established in 1988 to provide funding for life-saving treatment for individuals who, due

to limited means or no insurance, would otherwise be unable to receive the treatment and care they so desperately need. The LKCF is a non-profit organization funded from the proceeds of Mr. King’s books, speaking engagements, and from entertainment galas.

Guard a Heart is a non-profit foundation established in 2011. Sponsorships and tickets are still available.

Hosting a Party? Get the Guests Involved Hosting dinner parties, brunches and events should be fun, but there’s often so much to do that fun goes off the menu. By getting the guests involved, you can host a gathering and still have a good time.

Here are some tips for creating your own enjoyable and unforgettable gathering.

Make it potluck

Keep things simple and cut down on party prep time by asking guests to contribute a dish. Assign appetizers, salads and sides to your guests so that all you will need to prepare is the main dish.

Perhaps ask some guests to contribute to the beverage selection as well.

Ensure that guests can reach food items on the buffet by propping up dishes with elevated platforms like tiered platters or cake stands. For an inexpensive solution, place a bowl upside down and cover with a vibrant or patterned cloth napkin before setting the food on top.

Place pitchers of ice water flavored with strawberries or cucumbers for guests to enjoy throughout the event. Set out a Keurig SingleCup Brewer with an assortment of Starbucks Coffee K-Cup Packs so guests can brew their favorite premium coffee.

“Make sure your guests have everything they need to ‘personalize’ their after-dinner coffee by providing creative mix-ins for their individual cup. Flavored syrups like vanilla, hazelnut, and peppermint are always a hit, as well as fun toppings like ground cinnamon, chocolate shavings, caramel and whipped cream,” says Jenn Sbranti, Founder of Hostess with the Mostess. “For the finishing touch, include a few clever ‘stir stick’ garnishes – such as cinnamon sticks, rock candy, and tall pirouette cookies.”

Set up interactive desserts

Create a self-serve station with ingredients for do-it-yourself desserts. Update a classic idea like an ice cream sundae bar by offering Stock the beverage bar guests frozen yogurt and fresh Be sure to designate an area fruit instead so they can create for beverages and refreshments. healthy parfaits. Another creative

idea would be setting up a sweet and savory popcorn station, where guests can fill up small lunch sacks or gift bags with their favorite flavored popcorn and personal toppings. Prepare the sugary and savory popcorn bases (recipes available online) or buy premade sweetened and buttery popcorn.

Then set out assorted toppings for the choosing – savory options could include truffle oil, grated Parmesan, sea salt, dried herbs, and dry ranch or taco seasoning; for the sweet tooth, offer cocoa mix, apple pie spice, chocolate or peanut butter candies, and toffeecoated peanuts.

Send guests home with leftovers Finally make post-party cleanup easier on yourself by offering guests leftovers at the end of the night. Purchase paper food containers beforehand so everyone can help themselves to their favorite foods to take home.

So whether you’re planning a big dinner party or an intimate brunch, remember that sharing the host responsibilities and introducing DIY aspects to the occasion lets you reduce your own stress and enjoy more time with your guests.

eNVIRONMENTAL NATURE center presents PRESIDENTS WEEK CAMP FOR KIDS The Environmental Nature Center is presenting Presidents Week Nature Camps for students in Kindergarten through 6th grade from February 20 through 23. Camps are from 9AM to 1PM, and afternoon camps are available from 1-3PM. For more info call 949-645-8489 or visit www. encenter.org/programs/naturecamp.shtml Each day, campers (divided into small groups by age) will rotate between three Camp Teachers, where they will participate in exciting, age appropriate hands-on activities.

Themes include Imagination and Invention, Nature Games and Outdoor Creativity.

Getting kids involved with nature and the outdoors is viewed by many as key to their development, especially in our highly technological society. Richard Louv, author of the book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder, argues that kids are so plugged into TV and video games that they’ve lost their connection to the natural world.

“Kids aren’t spending as much time outside as they used to, and it’s beginning to affect their mental and physical health,” said ENC Lead Naturalist Meghan Lockwood. “The ENC’s Nature Camp is an easy and safe way for parents to get their kids back outside where they can learn to respect nature while learning science concepts they need to know for school.”

The Environmental Nature Center provides quality education through hands-on experience with nature. The ENC’s 3 1/2 acre outdoor classroom displays 15 native plant communities that range from a desert, to a freshwater marsh, to a redwood forest. The ENC is located at 1601 16th St. in Newport Beach.

excitement builds for superbowl XLVI

Super Bowl XLVI will be an American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion New York Giants to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2011 season.

It will be the 42nd annual championship game of the modern-era NFL and is scheduled to be played Sunday, February 5, 2012 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Kickoff time is scheduled for approximately 6:30 p.m.

EST. This will be the first Super Bowl to be played in Indianapolis, and the first time in the history of the game it will be played in consecutive years in a retractable roof stadium. This will also be only the fourth time that the Super Bowl is played in a cold-weather city, after Detroit’s hosting of XVI and XL as well as Minneapolis’s hosting of XXVI. Downtown Indianapolis, the home of Lucas Oil Stadium, will feature an outdoor Super Bowl Village and other programs at Indiana Convention Center.

Per convention as an even-numbered Super Bowl, the Patriots as the AFC representatives will have the home team designation. Super Bowl XLVI will be the sixth Super Bowl in which the two teams had competed in a previous Super Bowl match up, as the Giants and Patriots had previously met in Super Bowl XLII.[3] Both head coaches (Tom Coughlin and Bill Belichick) and both starting quarterbacks (Eli Manning and Tom Brady) return from Super Bowl XLII. With a 9–7 record during the regular season, the Giants returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2008, when they won the NFC East and finished the season as the NFC’s #4 seed. The Giants entered their week 17 match up with the Cowboys with both teams tied for the division lead with 8–7 records. The Giants took a Page 18

21–0 first half lead and while the Cowboys closed the gap to make the score 21–14 early in the 4th quarter, the Giants held on to defeat the Cowboys 31–14, clinching the divisional title and a playoff berth. Then they advanced to the playoffs by defeating the Atlanta Falcons in the Wild Card game 24-2, then they defeated the teams with the two best records in the NFL, knocking off the 15-1 Green Bay Packers 37-20 and the 13-3 San Francisco 49ers 20-17 on Lawrence Tynes’ game winning field goal in overtime.

New York’s offense was led by pro bowl quarterback Eli Manning, in his seventh season as the team’s starter.

Manning set new career highs in nearly every statistical category in 2011, throwing for a franchise record 4,933 yards and 29 touchdowns, with 16 interceptions, giving him a 92.9 passer rating. His top target was receiver Victor Cruz, who caught 82 passes for a franchise record 1,536 yards (3rd in the NFL) and 9 touchdowns. But he had plenty of other targets, including Hakeem Nicks (76 receptions, 1,192 yards, 7 touchdowns), Mario Manningham (39 receptions and 523 yards in 12 games) and tight end Jake Ballard (38 receptions, 604 yards, 15.9 average) Running back Ahmad Bradshaw was the team’s leading rusher with 659 yards and 9 touchdowns. He was also a reliable weapon in the passing game, hauling in 34 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Brandon Jacobs also made a big contribution on the ground, rushing for 571 yards and 7 touchdowns.

New York’s defensive line was led by defensive ends Jason Pierre-Paul and Osi Umenyiora. Pierre-Paul racked up 86 combined tackles and ranked fourth in the NFL with 16.5 sacks, earning him the only pro bowl selection on the Giants defense, while Umenyiora recorded 9 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. New York also had an excellent secondary led by Corey Webster, who intercepted a career high 6 passes. Defensive backs Kenny Phillips and Aaron Ross added four interceptions each, while safety Antrel Rolle picked off two passes and led the team in combined tackles with 96.

The Patriots finished with a 13-3 record, winning the AFC East and

clinching the AFC’s #1 seed in the playoffs. New England lost two straight games in weeks 8 and 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Giants, respectively, before rallying to win their remaining regular season games. In the playoffs, New England defeated the Denver Broncos in the divisional round and the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game.

Back at the helm of the offense was 12-year quarterback Tom Brady, who earned his 7th Pro Bowl selection. Starting every game of the season, Brady completed 65.6% of his passes for a career-high 5,246 yards (the second highest total in NFL history) and 39 touchdown passes, with just 12 interceptions and a rating of 105.6. Brady also added 109 yards and three scores on the ground. His main weapon in the passing game was Pro Bowl receiver Wes Welker, who led the NFL with 122 receptions (22 receptions ahead of second place) for 1,569 yards and 9 touchdowns.

New England also had two of the best tight ends in the NFL: Pro Bowler Rob Gronkowski, who set new tight end records for receiving (1,327 yards) and touchdown catches (17); and Aaron Hernandez, who caught 79 passes for 910 yards and 7 touchdowns, while also rushing for 45 yards. Another big element of the passing game was veteran receiver Deion Branch, who caught 51 passes for 702 yards and 5 scores. Receivers Chad Ochocinco, Tiquan Underwood, Julian Edelman, and Matthew Slater made minor contributions to the passing attack; the latter two also served as emergency defensive backs.

New England had several key contributors in the ground game. Their main rusher was BenJarvis GreenEllis, who rushed for 667 yards and 11 touchdowns. Running back Stevan Ridley added 447 yards and a 5.1 yards per carry average. Danny Woodhead contributed 351 yards with a 4.6 YPC average, and gained another 437 yards returning kickoffs. New England also had a solid offensive line, which was anchored by Pro Bowl guards Logan Mankins and Brian Waters.

With all these weapons, New England ranked third in the NFL with 513 points.

The Patriots’ defensive line featured two Pro Bowl selections: Vince Wilfork, who generated 3.5 sacks, two

interceptions, and one forced fumble; and Andre Carter, who contributed 10 sacks and forced two fumbles. Defensive End Mark Anderson was also a major force on the line, earning 10 sacks and two forced fumbles of his own. Behind them, Rob Ninkovich excelled at linebacker, gaining 74 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and two interceptions. In the secondary, cornerback Kyle Arrington had a breakout season. After recording just one interception in his first three years, Arrington picked off 7 passes in 2011, while also leading the team in tackles with 88.

The Giants faced the #2 seed San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. After a series of defensive standoffs in the fourth quarter, the game went into overtime. Both teams continued to struggle on offense, until New York linebacker Jacquian Williams stripped the ball from San Francisco wide receiver Kyle Williams after a punt return. The Giants recovered the ball at the 49ers 24 yard line, setting up a 31 yard field goal attempt by Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes. Unlike Cundiff earlier in the day, Tynes’ kick was successful, giving the Giants a 20-17 victory.

The Giants joined the 2008 Arizona Cardinals and 1979 Los Angeles Rams as the only other team to advance to the Super Bowl with fewer than ten victories and have won six consecutive playoff games away from their home stadium, dating back to their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2007 Wild Card round. That includes their Super Bowl XLII victory over these same Patriots, although that game was played at a neutral site (and the Giants were the designated “away” team for the game). The Giants will again be the designated “away” team for Super Bowl XLVI.
