Electric Car and Plug-in Hybrid Release Date Calendar 2012-2014 By Jesse F. Sears Here’s some of the most exciting upcoming plug-in hybrid electric and battery-electric cars coming up in the next 3 years. Each of these models has something fresh to offer a fast-growing segment. The race to increase range and efficiency is in full swing. With batteries becoming cheaper and technology improving, electric cars will soon be less expensive and more viable as daily transportation.

Known as the Energi, this special Fusion can not only travel for 16 to 19 miles without using a drop of gas, but will still be capable of outstanding mileage. There will be no tradeoff here for those seeking a spacious sedan plus gas-free driving. Honda Fit EV - Nationwide rollout begins Summer 2012 Like Ford, Honda chose to Tesla Model S with, so it remains to be seen if Volkswagen will be able to make the platform light enough to still return good driving range.

use an existing platform for its new battery-electric car, rather than shouldering the expense of developing from the ground up. Good thing, too, as the Fit is a featherweight and fun-todrive subcompact with more interior cargo space than most small crossover SUVs in a welldesigned and versatile configuration.
Ford Focus Electric - Nationwide rollout 2012-2013 The Focus Electric is out now in a few select markets, with a national roll-out to take place throughout 2012 and into 2013. With a 76 mile range thanks to a 141-horsepower electric motor and 23 kW lithium-ion battery pack, the Focus Electric roughly Volkswagen Golf EV - Late e q u a l s N i s s a n ’s L e a f i n k e y 2013 performance areas like range, The compact electric hatchinterior space and efficiency. back segment continues to grow, with VW’s new electric Golf in Ford Fusion Energi - Late 2012 development.

BMW i8 eDrive The makers of the pioneering Tesla Roadster are moving into the luxury sedan game, with the $50,000 (after tax rebate) 2013 Model S still promised to go on sale by the end of 2012. This sedan will bring a 160-mile range in its base configuration, with extracost batteries bringing range as high as 300 miles. That’s enough for a short road trip, unlike all other current production electric cars. Tesla Model X - 2013 - 2014 The Model X luxury electric crossover will follow the sedan model to market by around a year, promising around the same range in a spacious platform with good utility. The trick rear doors swing upwards like a DeLorean, making for easy entry and parking lot stares. The Model X will cost around the same as the

for the German luxury brand’s new eDrive subdivision, the i8 will be available in coupe and roadster configurations. Expect fuel efficiency triple that of other supercars without sacrificing performance. BMW i3 eDrive - Worldwide release begins late 2013/early 2014 The i3 uses the same electric motor as the i8, though without the gas engine. The batteryelectric luxury city car has been making the rounds of auto shows around the world. Range should beat mass-market electric cars already on the roads, thanks to the i3’s heavy use of carbon fiber and lightweight yet strong plastics in its construction. It will also feature BMW’s trademark luxury, though don’t expect it to come cheap.

The Laguna Beach Festival of Arts, home of the Festival of Arts Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters, is pleased to announce the launch of their newly redesigned website at www.LagunaFestivalofArts.org. The new site, the first major redesign since 2002, is envisioned to encompass everything about the Festival and its programming in a user-friendly and visually stunning way that is reflective of its brand. With new social media integration, a radically revised event calendar, an expansive artist database and more, the new website aims to engage fans and supporters like never before. The redesign incorporates classic colors and graphics and completely new navigational tools with enhanced search functionality. “After months of development with our website designers, we’re very excited to unveil the new website in conjunction with the Festival’s and Pageant’s 80th Anniversary celebration,” said Sharbie Higuchi, director of marketing and PR for the Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters. “Technology has really changed in the last ten years, it was important for us to keep up with the times and elevate our online presence.” The website features exclusive content on the two major summer events, the Festival of Arts Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters, as well as giving a home to yearround exhibits and ongoing projects. Multimedia has also integrated into the website including videos, event slideshows, an interactive calendar
and other visual content from last year’s season as well as archival footage from the Festival’s early days. Membership registration can now be accomplished without leaving the website. Also, entirely new are sections dedicated to the Festival’s permanent art collection with a gallery of selected pieces from the Festival’s collection, spotlight pages, and “Outreach” with the ability to apply for Festival scholarships and grants. “Visitor info” features tips on planning a visit with links to the Laguna Beach Visitors and Conference Bureau. “About Us” gives an overview about the organization and its purpose. Visitors can also purchase Festival merchandise online at the “Shop,” find out about the latest news from the Festival and Pageant, and explore volunteer and employment opportunities at the Festival and Pageant. Donations may be gifted to the non-profit organization with the click of a button through the website and Pageant tickets may be purchased securely. Also getting the most dramatic face-lift, the exhibitor gallery has been updated to be user-friendlier, giving visitors the opportunity to sort the 140 exhibiting artists by medium, name and view popular tags. Each artist’s page features a slideshow of their work, contact information and
links to their social media pages. “It’s always been our mission to raise awareness about the talented array of artists at the Festival of Arts. Now, with the launch of the new website, we’re able to give our artists an additional platform to reach art collectors and art enthusiasts everywhere,” said Higuchi. Though the redesign has been applied to most major sections of the site, some additional sections are to come, including blogs, a searchable database of the Festival’s permanent art collection, online exhibitor application, bios and photos of exhibitors, and multi-platform compatibilities. “In today’s data and technology driven society, it’s important to keep the website content updated, fresh and ever changing. It’s an ambitious website plan that now has a solid – and stylish – foundation,” concluded Higuchi.
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. -Khalil Gibran The Newport News

Hybrid Sports Cars: A New Performance Frontier By Jesse F. Sears Consumers vote with their wallets, and hybrid car demand is at an all-time high. With more than 50 choices for hybrid cars, trucks and SUVs on the market, the technology is no longer a novelty. Much to the chagrin of sports car enthusiasts, though, most of today’s hybrids are not exactly known to excite. An MPGfirst philosophy has led to a crop of slow vehicles, often with unpredictable braking and an isolated driving experience. Enter the world’s luxury automakers, who are hard at work developing a new breed of hybrid sports cars designed to be as exciting as they are efficient. Acura NSX (2015) Acura’s upcoming hybrid sports car wears the badge of its most revered nameplate ever, the NSX. The original NSX thrived as one of the 1990s’ top purist sports cars, with Honda reliability sweetening the deal. The new NSX hybrid employs an electric motor to power each front wheel, with a V6 engine and third electric motor working in tandem to power
Acura NSX (2015) Elise, Exige and Evora are all worldclass performance cars, even though they use modestly powered Toyotasourced engines. The Evora makes a natural choice for a luxury sports car hybrid. A modified form of the Evora’s
V6 engine has already performed admirably in Toyota and Lexus hybrid trucks. Currently undergoing durability testing, the Evora 414E is confirmed for a low-run production. The Toyota V6 and Hybrid Synergy Drive system can achieve around 30 combined mpg in the big, heavy Lexus RX 450h, so Lotus should be able to coax fuel efficiency in the 40 mpg range in the featherweight Evora sports car, even though the drivetrain will be tuned more toward performance than the Lexus version. BMW i8 (2014) BMW took its new i8 plug-in hybrid electric supercar on a world auto show tour in 2011 and 2012, becom-
ing the center of attention at every stop. The carbon fiber supercar, shown in both coupe and roadster concept versions, has an efficient turbocharged three-cylinder gasoline engine mounted in a parallel hybrid setup with a powerful electric motor. The hybrid sports car is capable of running on electric power alone for around 20 miles. When in gasolineelectric hybrid mode, 0 to 60 mph will come in well under 5 seconds. Be easy on the accelerator and this technological marvel of a sports car can reportedly achieve around 60 mpg after its all-electric range is exhausted. Recharge time takes just 2 hours with a dedicated level-2 charging system.

the rear wheels. The setup allows for positive or negative torque to be applied to each front wheel, opening up a new range of possibilities in AWD performance. The NSX will also likely double the fuel efficiency of other cars with this performance potential. Cars like the Nissan GT-R and Ferrari 458 Italia are not exactly known for fuel efficiency. The NSX should hit 30 combined mpg. Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid (20132014) Lotus cars stand out among the world’s many promising sports cars through their lofty performance achieved through low weight.

Segerstrom Center Raises Almost $1Million for Support of Artistic and Educational Achievements Four hundred and thirty people gathered at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Segerstrom Hall to enjoy a Candlelight evening that included a performance by Broadway’s two-time Tony® Award-winning star Sutton Foster followed by dancing until midnight to Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum recording and concert artist Huey Lewis & The News. With an amazing four-course dinner, wine, and delectable desserts, the evening was supported by Vacheron Constantin, which opened recently at South Coast Plaza, as Presenting Sponsor and Diamond Sponsors were Jane and Jim Driscoll and Elizabeth and Henry T. Segerstrom. The gala evening netted nearly one million in support of the Center. Center Board Chairman Lawrence M. Higby welcomed guests and Candlelight Concert Presenting Sponsor Vacheron Constantin, represented by Hugues de Pins, President of Vacheron Constantin North America. “We are here tonight,” said Higby, “to help ensure the Center and the arts will continue to contribute to the quality of life in our community by bringing the world’s finest artists and companies here for everyone to enjoy and expanding the innovative education programs from which over 325,000 young people benefit every year.” Higby also introduced a special feature he requested: a time-lapse video taken of the interior of Segerstrom Hall during the previous five days showing the change from theater to ballroom to show everyone the transition (and work) it takes to achieve Candlelight Concert’s magic. Starting the evening off, guests arrived through the Center’s landmark Grand Portal, which had stylized images of the arch projected across its façade. They entered Segerstrom Hall via a plush purple carpet – and ballerinas from Festival Ballet in glittering classic tutus were lined up the grand staircase and performed in precision as guests walked to the reception on the Orchestra Level lobby. Suspended in the multi-level mirrored landing on the staircase was a shimmering curtain of crystals and golden toe shoes and two handmade costumes created specifically for Candlelight Concert by Primadonna in Newport Beach. As always and of course, so amazing, the Segerstrom Hall itself was transformed into a vast ballroom with graduated dining terraces covering the usual 1,000 seats. Guests entered from the rear of the usual Orchestra Level seating and walked through a Broadway-inspired lounge area that seating and conversation areas, a station for indulging in jeweled chocolates provided by XAN Confections and a Dragon’s Breathe Meringue Bites (which give off puffs of ‘smoke’ as guests exhale). The four-course menu was created by Joachim Splichal, chef and founder, Patina Restaurant Group; Ross Pangilinan, executive chef, Leatherby’s Cafe Rouge and Gregg Wiele, executive chef, museums & performance arts center, and Carlos Enriquez, corporate pastry chef. Our first course started with Fijian Albacore Crudo with Citrus “Caviar,” Puffed Rice, Cucumber, Fried Garlic Ponzu, Scallions. A slice of Little Gem Lettuce with Smokey Bleu Cheese, Avocado, Spiced Pepitas, Blood Orange Grainy Mustard Vinaigrette and a “Spring Roll” filled with Peking Duck, Butternut Squash, Spiced Hoisen and Scallion Oil. Second course gave us pan-Seared Diver Scallops with Meyer Lemon Saffron Coulis and dripped in a Warm Olive Oil Poached Piquillo Pepper, Baby Tangerine Lace. The entrée include a Duet of Filet Mignon and Barramundi with Roasted Cauliflower with Capers and Golden Raisins, Broccoli Puree, Cipollini Onion Rings, in a Natural Beef Jus. Delectable dessert was next, guests were served either a Chocolate Tart with Caramel with Vanilla and Caramel Cream and Chocolate Mousse adorned with a Golden Leaf Garnish or a Soft Lemon Meringue in a Cilantro lime Sauce with dehydrated Raspberries, Crumble Biscof and Avocado Sorbet. Sutton Foster’s performance was exquisite; Huey Lewis and the News played his signature songs then of course the dancing began. Just before Lewis’ performance concluded – he welcomed a surprise guest to share the stage. The newest member of The News was Dee Higby, wife of Center Chairman Larry Higby. In an impromptu playing of one of Lewis’ tunes, Higby accompanied him Page 10

on the glockenspiel. Outside, a valet lounge was created by Acura, the Center’s Automobile Sponsor, where guests could relax as their cars were retrieved. And to warm them from the chill in the air – a cappuccino bar with gingerbread cookies and sweets! Candlelight Concert nets more than $1 million each year in support of the Center’s artistic and education programs. During the past 25 years, more than 15 million people have attended performances at the Center and the lives of more than 16 million young people have been enriched by its many education programs. As Orange County’s largest non-profit arts organization, Segerstrom Center for the Arts owns and operates the 3,000-seat Segerstrom Hall and intimate 250-seat Founders Hall and the 2,000-seat Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall and also houses the 500-seat Samueli Theater, the Lawrence and Kristina Dodge Education Center’s studio performance space and Boeing Education Lab.

Flying Cars, Solar Cars and Natural Gas Cars: Three Concept Cars yet to Be Mass Produced By Joe Dorish These are three concept car ideas that have yet to be mass produced. All three could still yet be mass produced, and one of the ideas might be pretty close to happening because the economics of that concept car are working in its favor right now. I used to make my living as a driver, and have driven all types of vehicles including trucks, cars, taxis, vans, and flatbeds. I ran my own limousine company for a few years, until high gas prices drove me to another line of work. As someone who loves to drive, I’m always paying attention to concept cars that might end up being

a cheaper way to drive than gas powered vehicles are. Today, I drive around in a Toyota Prius hybrid electric car, and love the money I save by using less gas to power my car. Concept Cars Yet to Be Mass Produced AVE Mizar Flying Car Henry Smolinski was a Northrop Institute of Technology graduate with a Ford Pinto and a dream in the early 1970s. Smolinski started a company called Advanced Vehicle Engineers (AVE), that attached the back wing portion of a Cessna Skymaster airplane to the top of a Ford Pinto car. Smolinski’s concept car was one that you drive to the airport, attach stored wings to the car and fly it in the sky, and then after landing just detach the wings and drive home. Two prototype AVE Mizar flying cars were built, and production for the concept car was slated to begin
in 1974. On September 11, 1973, Henry Smolinski took an associate, Harold Blake, for a test flight in one of the cars. During the flight the right wing strut came loose from the Pinto. Smolinski should have immediately tried to land, but instead he tried turning the flying car and the stress of the turn caused the wing to fold

that have won a record six National Championship races. At this point, solar powered vehicles are completely concept cars not ready in any way for mass production and public use. Solar powered cars need to be in the sun to work, so they are impractical for tunnels, parking garages and cloudy places. You would really have to live in a place like Yuma, Arizona, the sunniest city in the world with a 90% annual sunshine level, for a solar car to be practical. In the future, if engineers and scientists can figure out how to store power from the sun efficiently in small batteries, solar powered cars could become practical. Another problem with solar powered cars is that the record speed for a totally solar powand completely detached the wings ered car is only 55.2 miles per hour. from the car. The heavy weighted Pinto plummeted straight to the ground, resulting in a fiery crash that killed both Henry Smolinski and Harold Blake. That was the end of the AVE Mizar flying car. As you can see from this video though, the AVE Mizar flying car did actually work.
out free t-shirts so we stopped to look, and I asked the GM representative when natural gas powered GM trucks would be available for sale. He laughed and said never. GM only built the natural gas truck as part of its agreement to get government bailout money. At around the same time, my sister-in-law’s cousin sold the rights to any natural gas from fracking under his 500 acres of farmland in Pennsylvania to a energy company for a nice sum of money. The boom in fracking has caused the price of natural gas to become very cheap, and GM recently announced they were going to produce natural gas hybrid trucks for sale to the public. The low price of natural gas is actually making the idea of natu-

BISHOP KEVIN W. VANN named new BISHOP OF ORANGE
His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI announced September 21, 2012, that Bishop Kevin W. Vann, formerly Bishop of Fort Worth, would succeed Bishop Tod D. Brown as the Bishop of Orange. Today, the Papal Nuncio, the official representative of the Holy See for the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, read the Apostolic Mandate at Bishop Vann’s Installation at UC – Irvine Bren Center. Catholic cardinals, bishops, abbots and priests from across the United States and thousands of lay Catholics filled the Bren Center for the liturgical ceremony. As the Fourth Bishop of Orange, Bishop Vann will lead the diocese into a future which includes the transition to its new home – Christ Cathedral. A native of Springfield, Ill., Vann is an expert in canon law and gifted organizer. Bishop Vann has distinguished himself during his seven year tenure as Bishop of Fort Worth and in prior assignments as priest, pastor and member of important Church committees and panels. He is recognized for innovative parish-based and diocesan initiatives. Bishop Vann is a leading member of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Migration. Working within the Texas Catholic Conference, Bishop Vann encouraged comprehensive immigration reform in the State of Texas and nationally. His outreach to all immigrant communities, including the growing Vietnamese and Asian populations in Texas, will be an important asset in the multi-cultural Diocese of Orange. Bishop Vann is fluent in Spanish and Page 18
Italian and is developing his Vietnamese language skills. Much of Fort Worth’s diocesan growth is credited to Bishop Vann’s expansion of existing parish communities and widespread capital improvements. These improvements included the construction of one of the largest Catholic Churches in the United States serving a Vietnamese congregation - the Arlington (Texas) Vietnamese Martyrs Church. He restructured the local Catholic School system to a cost-based tuition system to ensure the financial viability of each school, while also creating a multi-million dollar scholarship fund to provide tuition assistance. His leadership further contributed to the expansion of Catholic Charities in the region and the opening of a new facility to accommodate that ministry’s growing needs. During Bishop Vann’s tenure the number of seminarians, ordained priests, women religious and lay Catholics serving the Diocese of Fort Worth increased significantly. Bishop Vann is the Ecclesiastical Delegate of the Holy See for the Pastoral Provision in the United States, which was established by Pope John Paul II in 1981 to accommodate full communion with the Catholic Church for Episcopal priests and laity. One former Anglican priest was recently ordained a Catholic Priest to serve in the Diocese of Orange. Bishop Vann will shepherd the nation’s 10th largest diocese, which is one of the fastest growing Catholic populations in the country – the Diocese of Orange.

The American Cancer Society was there to help when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. After calling their 800-number, I learned about Road To RecoveryŽ. Their volunteers drove my mom to and from cancer treatments when I couldn’t.
