FOUR-TIME TONY AWARD WINNER MEMPHIS IS COMING TO ORANGE COUNTY MEMPHIS, the 2010 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, and the show that’s currently blowing the roof off Broadway, opens at Segerstrom Center for the Arts on November 6 for a limited engagement. Single tickets, which start at $20, will go on sale Sunday, September 30 at 10 a.m.PST. Tickets will be available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket savings for 10 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746. The 2 p.m. performance on Saturday, November 17 will include audio description, open captioning and sign-language interpretation.

Critically acclaimed MEMPHIS won four 2010 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Original Score(David Bryan and Joe DiPietro), Best Book (Joe DiPietro) and Best Orchestrations (David Bryan and Daryl Waters). MEMPHIS won four Drama Desk Awards including Outstanding Musical, Outstanding Performance by an Actress (Montego Glover), Outstanding Music (David Bryan) and Outstanding Orchestration (David Bryan and Daryl Waters). MEMPHIS has also won four Outer Critic Circle Awards including Outstanding Musical, Outstanding Score (David Bryan & Joe DiPietro), Outstanding Actress(Montego Glover) and Outstanding Choreography (Sergio Trujillo).

MEMPHIS takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated ‘50s, where a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun fell in love with everything he shouldn’t: rock and roll and an electrifying black singer.

MEMPHIS is an original story about the cultural revolution that erupted when his vision met her voice, and the music changed forever. Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the air waves – filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock ‘n’ roll.

The show features a brand-new Tony-winning score with music by Bon Jovi’s founding member and keyboardist David Bryan and lyrics by Bryan and Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change), who also pens the musical’s book. Bryan and DiPietro also collaborated on the award-winning off-Broadway hit, The Toxic Avenger.

Get Kids Gardening!

Gardening teaches kids where food comes from, healthy eating and raises their environmental consciousness.

A great way to get kids started in the garden is the National Bonnie Plants Third Grade Cabbage Program, it’s free to any third grade classroom in the country and teachers can register NOW at http://bonniecabbageprogram.com/ In 2002, Bonnie Plants initiated the 3rd Grade Cabbage Program with a mission to inspire a love of vegetable gardening in young people. Each year, Bonnie trucks more than one million free O.S. Cross cabbage plants to 3rd Grade classrooms across the country.

(O.S. stands for oversized… these cabbages can grow upwards of 40 pounds making the initiative engaging and fun for kids)!

Teaches distribute 2” plants with instructions, provided by Bonnie, to students to carry home and grow. At the end of the growing season, teachers select a class winner, based on size, appearance and maturity and that submission is entered in a state scholarship drawing. The state winners are randomly selected by each state’s Director of Agriculture, and Bonnie Plants awards a $1,000 scholarship for education to one student in each state.

As one of the first companies to sponsor a national vegetable gardening initiative for kids, Bonnie Plants has delivered over 11 million cabbage plants, nationwide, in the past 10 years, fostering an interest in gardening, healthy eating, and the environment.

“The Bonnie Plants Cabbage Program is a wonderful way to engage children’s interest in agriculture, while teaching them not only the basics of gardening, but the importance of our food systems and growing our own”, said Stan Cope, President of Bonnie Plants. This unique, innovative program exposes children to agriculture and demonstrates, through hands-on experience, where food comes from.

The program also affords our youth with some valuable life lessons in nurture, nature, responsibility, selfconfidence and accomplishment”.

Why a cabbage? Cabbages were the first plant sold by Bonnie in 1918.

The cabbages used for the 3rd grade program are OS Cross (Over-sized), which is known for producing giant, oversized heads, making the process even more exciting for kids. The biggest cabbage grown in the contest weighed in at 65 pounds!

The views and opinions expressed are those of the publisher and not any organization. No reproduction, in whole or in part is permitted without the express written permission of Newport News.

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.

Coastline Community College will officially unveil its Newport Beach Campus at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 3. The ceremony will be held at the site located at 1515 Monrovia Avenue in Newport Beach beginning at 2 p.m.

As part of the festivities, attendees will hear from college leaders, the Trustees and Chancellor of the Coast Community College District, and Newport Beach city officials on the positive impact this campus will have on the community and surrounding areas. Guests will also have the opportunity to tour the building—a three-story, green-construction masterpiece designed by LPA, Inc. and constructed by C.W. Driver on nearly

four-acres overlooking Banning Ranch and the Pacific Ocean.

“We are anxious to unveil the building to our new neighbors in Newport Beach,” said Dr. Loretta P. Adrian, President of Coastline Community College, “and our faculty, staff, and students are looking forward to utilizing all of the features of this state-ofthe-art, green campus when we open for classes there in January 2013.”

Upon opening for the college’s spring 2013 semester offerings, the campus will become home to general education courses that lead to a degree, certificate, or transfer-readiness; an Acquired Brain Injury Program; an Early College High School program, in partnership with the Newport-Mesa

Unified School District; the college’s Paralegal Program; and the Coastline Art Gallery—a unique community gallery open to all.

The building construction was funded through Measure C, a $370 million voter-approved bond measure passed in 2002. Funds from Measure C have already enabled the construction and completion of many projects on the campuses of Orange Coast College, Golden West College, and Coastline.

All are welcome to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and an RSVP is not required. For more information on the campus, visit www.coastline. edu/newportbeach or call (714) 5467600.

Wine Revolutionaries Call America Home

By David White One of the hottest winemakers in France is Jerome Bressy, the proprietor of Domaine Gourt de Mautens the Southern Rhone village of Rasteau.

Over the past decade, he’s developed quite a reputation. American wine critic Robert Parker has called his winery “sensational,” and France’s two leading wine commentators, Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve, have said Bressy deserves recognition as one of the Rhone’s great winemakers.

This past year, Bettane and Desseauve honored Bressy for producing both the “Best White” and the “Best Rosé” in the Southern Rhone.

But next year, thanks to a recent decision by French regulators, Bressy may find it difficult to market his wines.

The reason? In France, strict laws dictate winegrowing and winemaking -- and Bressy violated the rules. Even

though the basis for many of these rules make sense, Bressy’s tale helps explain why adventurous winemakers feel more welcome in America.

French wine laws trace back to 1935.

At the time, globalization threatened the dominance of French wines, so lawmakers created a system to guarantee both quality and geographic typicity. Some laws codified tradition -- like what grapes could be grown where -- and others detailed total minutiae, like vine density.

Because of these laws, consumers know what to expect from French wine. Red Burgundy is Pinot Noir; white Burgundy is Chardonnay; Sancerre is Sauvignon Blanc; and so on.

Jerome Bressy’s “offense” is hardly offensive.

A student of history, Bressy has spent the last few years reintroducing traditional grapes to his vineyard. So today, about 23 percent of Bressy’s estate is planted with obscure grapes like Vaccarese, Counoise, Muscardin, which are interspersed with the more common Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah. By French law, these minor varieties can only comprise only 15 percent of a red wine labeled from Rasteau.

So to label his wines as the market expects, Bressy has no choice but to rip up some of his vines or alter his blend.

This despite the fact that his bottlings are historically accurate -- and that France’s

wine laws were designed, in part, to codify tradition.

At worst, Bressy seems guilty of “creative eccentricity.” That’s how VinConnect, a U.S. company that enables consumers to order wines directly from Gourt de Mautens, has described the winemaker. But he’s hardly a revolutionary -- Bressy’s transgression is rooted in respect for his vineyard and its history.

It’s no wonder why wine writer Alder Yarrow once criticized French regulators for being “ignorant, stubborn, and backwards.”

Needless to say, true revolutionaries find it difficult to make wine in France.

They turn to the new world, where experimentation and innovation is embraced.

Consider Syrah. Today, some of California’s most exciting Syrah comes from incredibly cool climates historically associated with Pinot Noir. Producers like Wind Gap and Arnot-Roberts -- who both make their wine out of an old appleprocessing facility in Sonoma County -- craft stunning Syrah from vineyards where grapes struggle to ripen.

If a winemaker in France wanted to experiment with Syrah in the cool climate of Burgundy, it’d be nearly impossible to sell his wines, as it’d be illegal to note where the grapes originated.

In the United States, winemakers aren’t limited by such strict laws. Indeed, the teams at Wind Gap and Arnot-Rob-

since 1907

erts are constantly on the lookout for esoteric grapes with potential in California’s vast and varied climate. Arnot-Roberts, for example, crafts a delicious rosé from Touriga Nacional, a Portuguese variety.

Wind Gap makes a highly regarded white using Trousseau Gris, a variety that’s even rare in its ancestral home of eastern France.

Elsewhere in Sonoma, 31-year-old Morgan Twain-Peterson of Bedrock Wine Company is making distinctly American wines that would make Jerome Bressy smile. Twain-Peterson is best known for using some of California’s oldest vines to make traditional California field blends.

In Napa Valley, a group of renegade winemakers is eschewing Cabernet Sauvignon in favor of intensely floral, crisp whites inspired by the wines of northeastern Italy. One label worth finding is Massican, whose owner, Dan Petroski, studied winemaking in Sicily.

Another is Arbe Garbe, owned by an Italian named Enrico Bertoz who moved to California in 1998.

Across the United States, examples like these abound. The wine world benefits tremendously from these vintners -- those who innovate new wines and preserve something special. In many ways, America is home to more winemakers like Jerome Bressy than France.

That’s worth celebrating.

Winning Entries Announced for Beloved Playhouses That Will Open ‘Doorways For Hope’ For Orange County’s Homeless With its annual gala fundraiser less than three weeks away, HomeAid Orange County has announced the winning entries in its 21st annual Project Playhouse, a unique and cherished event that delights children and adults while providing crucial assistance to the county’s growing population of homeless women, men and children.

The winning playhouses, announced at a V.I.P. party Sept. 13 at South Coast Plaza’s Jewel Court, will be auctioned off at HomeAid’s signature fundraising event at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach on Oct. 5. The theme of this year’s fundraiser is “Doorways for Hope.”

The Grand Award – Best in Show award went to “Victorian Surprise” by William Lyon Homes, whose creation also won in three other categories: The Craftsman Award – Best Craftsmanship, The Designer Award – Best Interior Design, and The Kermit Dorius Award – Best Architectural Design.

The Grand Award – Runner-up was awarded to Shea Homes for “A TradePartners® Christmas Story, which also won The Imagination Award – Most Imagination.

Team HomeAid was honored with The Secret Garden Award – Best Landscape for “The Queen’s Garden Cottage,” while the Roger Seitz Memorial Award – Best Modern Design went to “Surfer Shack” by BIA/OC Next Gen Group.

“We congratulate all the winners and thank them for their amazing creativity and devotion to a cause that should be close to every Orange County resident,” said Scott Larson, executive director of HomeAid Orange County, based in Irvine. “These playhouses are a tangible symbol of compassionate efforts to help the homeless restore dignity and regain

financial independence.”

Project Playhouse is the centerpiece of HomeAid Orange County’s ongoing commitment to helping the homeless. Since it began in 1992, the annual event has raised more than $6.3 million to help the 23-year-old non-profit organization complete 49 housing developments, which were gifted to 25 service providers who provide aid and shelter to homeless men, women and children.

Major sponsors of this year’s Project Playhouse, in which homebuilders, trades, architects and designers have donated their talents and resources to design and build whimsical creations, include Bank of America, PCV Murcor, Province Group/Newport Equities LLC and the Russ and Kathy Van Cleve Foundation. HomeAid is also pleased to announce Auction.com as a first time sponsor as well as the provider of live, online playhouse bidding. For more information about how to bid live online visit projectplayhouse.org.

For the first time in the history of the event, the beautiful playhouses are on display during the Festival of Children® at South Coast Plaza from Sept. 1 to Sept. 30, outside Macy’s valet and in Jewel Court. Visitors are able to peer through the doors and windows of the playhouses from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Romance of the Mission Sizzles with Phantom Star Davis Gaines Performance The Romance of the Mission benefit gala hosted by Mission San Juan Capistrano featured a spectacular concert by acclaimed actor/singer Davis Gaines and honored San Juan Capistrano residents Jan and the Honorable H. Warren Siegel.

During probably one of the hottest nights ever in September, folks came out in their best black tie gala wear; men wearing tuxes and the women in beautiful ball gowns.

The evening started in the Mission Gardens sipping champagne and nibbling on exquisite appetizers, and then everyone was called to the Great Stone Church for the concert.

With hues of lighting on the stone, the walls were lit up as if one was seated in a romantic concert hall with the rounded entrance shaped somewhat like the Hollywood Bowl. Gaines, who performed the title role in The Phantom of the Opera more than 2,000 times, told the men to go ahead and take their coats off and get comfortable in the heat. He sang a variety of songs, all in the name of romance, to go along with the theme. Such songs as My Romance, Tea for Two, When You Wish Upon a Star and Over the Rainbow were very enjoyable with Gaines being the ultimate performer. Closing out his performance, he ended the evening with two Phantom favorites – All I ask of You and Music of the Night and then the traditional When the Swallows Return to Capistrano.

As the bells of the towers began to ring, folks were directed to the Central Courtyard where tables and chairs were elegantly draped with colors of gold and cream. Tall wooden branches where the fixed center piece decoration with a variety of succulent plants garnishing the branches and an abundance of hanging candles made the romance continue.

The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel provided the four course dinner that started with Ricotta Stuffed Gnocchi, Sun-dried tomatoes with Goat Cheese Pesto Cream Sauce then, Heirloom Tomato Carpaccio with Local Field Green Salad with Shallot and Herb Vinaigrette. The dinner entrée consisted of an amazing Slow Braised Short Ribs and Smoked Paprika Dusted Prawn served with Manchego cheese Soft Polenta in a Tempranillo Wine Braising Jus. Dessert was amazing with Spanish Chocolate and Caramel Tart with Sal de Mar and Candied Marcona Almonds.

Mission San Juan Capistrano Executive Director Mechelle Lawrence-Adams welcomed attendees along with Mission Preservation Board President George O’Connell saying, “As a product of the collective efforts and ingenious spirits of the past, we gather this evening to celebrate the past, to remember the meaning of this place, and make sure that the Mission matters in new and previously unimaginable ways to people living today.”

Honorary Chairs Jan and the Honorable H. Warren Siegel are longtime San Juan residents and have been generous and committed supporters of the Mission for many years. San Juan Capistrano businessman Bill Ortega was recognized for his significant commitment to running the Mission’s gift store over the years and a special award was given to Ritz-Carlton Executive Chef Andres Jimenez for creating truly unique, extraordinary menus exclusively for this event.

The evening did not have a silent auction or live auction; however donations were secured by generous sponsors of the evening. There was an opportunity drawing where only 100 tickets were sold for $100 each. Traditional Jewelers in Newport Beach donated a beautiful 18k yellow gold filigree cross pendant featuring four colored heart shaped diamonds with one princess cut diamond in the center with frame of white diamonds; Jim Petersen was the lucky winner.

Net proceeds for the evening are estimated at just under $200,000 with additional $100,000 anonymous pledge will be made if that amount can be matched towards the project’s $3.3 million budget within 60 days.

Gala proceeds will help fund the Gate House Preservation Project which ultimately relocates the Mission’s museum store to the street and returns the historic Sala building to museum use. Completion of the new Gate House is projected for March 2013.

Known as the “Jewel of the Missions,” Mission San Juan Capistrano is a historic landmark and museum that boasts of quality permanent exhibits featuring original artifacts as well as traveling and temporary exhibits on a wide variety of topics. The Mission

NewSCRipts at South Coast Repertory Brings Hope and Gravity, Playwright and Audiences Together Life, love and happiness are never predictable—but they make for great comedy. They’re at the core of Michael Hollinger’s funny new play Hope and Gravity, featured in a staged reading on Monday, Oct. 8, at 7:30 p.m., as part of the 27th season of the NewSCRipts reading series at South Coast Repertory.

Hope and Gravity is a fast-paced, non-linear comedy about people trying to connect in a disconnected world. Five actors portray 10 characters, including: Jill’s in love with Steve, but he’s engaged to Barb. Neighbors Marcus and Jack squabble over their adjoining fence, but share more than they know.

Poetry professor Douglas is a master whose damaged memory makes him claim the poetry of T.S. Eliot, Walt Whitman, and Sylvia Plath as his own.

“Michael Hollinger’s writing is sharp, poignant and funny,” said SCR literary manager Kelly Miller. “While reading Hope and Gravity, I found myself laughing out loud one minute and the next, moved by the truth of the characters’ emotions and situations.”

Hollinger’s plays include GhostWriter, Opus, Tooth and Claw, Red Herring, Incorruptible, Tiny Island and

An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf. His works have been premiered at Philadelphia’s Arden Theatre Company with subsequent productions in the United States and Europe, including New York, London, Paris and Athens.

In 2009, the musical A Wonderful Noise, co-authored with Vance Lehmkuhl, premiered at Creede Repertory Theatre. In 2011, his new translation of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, coadapted with Aaron Posner, premiered at the Folger Theatre in Washington, D.C. Hollinger is the recipient of numerous awards including a Steinberg New Play Citation from the American Theatre Critics Association, Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award, Mid-Atlantic Emmy, Edgerton Foundation New American Plays Award, four Barrymore Awards, including the F. Otto Haas Award for an Emerging Theatre Artist.

He has been nominated for Lucille Lortel and John Gassner awards, and fellowships from the Independence Foundation, Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. He is an associate professor of theatre at VillanovaUniversity.

Past NewSCRipts readings include

Donald Margulies’ Collected Stories, Richard Greenberg’s Three Days of Rain and Amy Freed’s Freedomland, all of which went on to New York productions. Plays selected for the NewSCRipts series have earned six Pulitzer Prize nominations; Margaret Edson’s Wit won the prize in 1999 SCR launched the NewSCRipts playreading series in 1985 to bring the audience into the process of creating new works with emerging and established playwrights. After each public reading on the Julianne Argyros Stage, audience members engage in lively exchanges with the playwright and are active participants in the play’s development by providing valuable feedback for the writer.

South Coast Repertory’s NewSCRipts series is generously underwritten by Elaine J. Weinberg.

TICKETS to the NewSCRipts reading of Hollinger’s Hope and Gravity may be purchased online at www.scr.org, by phone at (714) 708-5555 or in person at the SCR box office. Tickets are $12, and include audience discussions with the playwright and dramaturg.

LOCATION: SouthCoast Repertory is located at 655 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa, at the Bristol Street/ Avenue of the Arts exit off the San Diego (405) Freeway in the FolinoTheatreCenter, part of the SegerstromCenter for the Arts. Parking is available off Anton Blvd. on Park Center Drive.

ONSTAGE AND COMING UP: Currently onstage at SCR is Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice, which runs through Oct. 14.

Coming up: Bill Cain’s How to Write a New Book for the Bible, Oct. 19-Nov. 18; Greg Banks’ Robin Hood, part of the Theatre for Young Audiences series, Nov. 2-18; and the holiday tradition, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Nov. 24-Dec. 24.

THE ADAPTABLE APPLE Tempted to take the family apple picking? Wondering what you’ll do with all those apples? Did you know when European colonists arrived in North America, there were only wild crab apple trees? Today there are hundreds of commercial varieties—many originally brought by Dutch and English settlers— from tart-crisp to sweet-succulent. The legendary Johnny Appleseed can be credited for spreading apple production by creating nurseries. The most popular varieties today are Red and Golden Delicious, Gala, Fuji and Granny Smith.

While apples are grown in every state in the Continental US, Washington is the top producer.

Best of all, the apple is one of nature’s powerhouse foods, chock full of nutrients, vitamins, and fiber. So much so that the old adage “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” is sage advice, since a balanced diet that includes lots of apples can keep your immune system strong.

1/4 cup white sugar ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup water Place ingredients in a large pot and cover.

Bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat to cool.

For an instant apple cobbler treat, top vanilla ice cream with homemade applesauce, crunchy sugared nuts and crumbled shortbread, biscotti or amaretto cookies.

Preheat oven to 350o. Peel apples, starting at the top, 1/4 of the way down sides. Core apples carefully, using an apple corer or small knife, to create a wide top opening (11/2 - 2 inches in diameter) while keeping bottom intact.

Toss together nuts, sugar, apricots and cinnamon. Gently pack mixture into apples, and placing butter (1/2 teaspoon) on top of

Beyond the Babysitting Gig: Ways to Take Classic Kid Jobs to the Next Level Entrepreneurs are made, not born. According to Gregory Downing, author of Entrepreneur Unleashed, learning how to think about work this way can (and should) start at an early age. To get your children to begin thinking like entrepreneurs, just pick a classic “kid job”—and give it an entrepreneurial twist.

Kids have always worked.

They’ve raked leaves, washed cars, and supervised children while Mom and Dad go out on dates.

There’s only one problem, says Gregory Downing: While these typical kid jobs do result in a bit of pocket cash, they do very little to teach kids the all-important principles of entrepreneurial wealth building.

“Directly trading your time for money is very limiting,” says Downing, author of Entrepreneur Unleashed: Wealth to Stand the Test of Time (Legacy Unleashed Press, 2012, ISBN: 978-1-938047-06-0, $29.95, www.GregoryDowning. com) as well as an upcoming book on providing a financial legacy for kids. “This has always been true, of course, but when prices are skyrocketing and ‘good’ jobs are scarce, it’s an even more critical lesson for kids to learn.”

Downing says the old path to success—get good grades, go to college, get a good job, work hard for 40 years, and retire comfortably—may no longer be enough to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.

Multiple streams of income will be necessary (he stresses the importance of having all three types: earned, passive, and portfolio) and kids need to get their minds around this reality now.

“Kids need to learn how to think about working and building wealth in a profoundly different way,” says Downing. “They need to see firsthand that the old paradigm of getting paid for your time is no longer adequate. The great news is that kids’ minds are open. They learn by doing. When you can help them experience the reality of entrepreneurship, they’ll embrace it.”

The entrepreneurial mindset isn’t just about wealth building.

It’s also about finding fresh solutions to problems no one has ever thought to solve, figuring out how what you offer can be applied to new markets, and teaming up with other people in such a way that everyone wins. It is about learning to build teams and learning to

manage profitability—and these are things that Downing is a master at teaching.

Downing says there are plenty of ways for kids to earn money that demonstrate the principles of entrepreneurship. In fact, parents can help them put an entrepreneurial twist on classic childhood jobs—or at least take their earning potential to a higher level. Here are ten ideas to help you get started: The Tutoring Source (and Babysitting Broker). School is back in session and, as always, there will be plenty of students who need a little extra help to thrive academically. Perhaps your child can provide that help. But rather than being just another service provider in a crowded market, why not suggest she be the front person? She might create a database of qualified locals and book appointments for her subcontractors. She can charge $10/hour for the services, and pay each of her contractors $8/ hour. The same principle can work for babysitting.

This is great management experience and really illustrates the magic of passive income. On any given afternoon, she might be earning money from four or five or even more tutoring jobs. Meanwhile, she can be enjoying a fun extracurricular activity or perhaps earning even more money by holding a tutoring session of her own.

The Thriving Cider Stand. The lemonade stand is a classic childhood business. And just because summer is over doesn’t mean your kids have to close up shop.

As the weekends get cooler and the leaves begin to change, they can simply switch over to, say, hot apple cider. No matter what they’re selling, the refreshment stand can teach many valuable lessons.

Kids can learn about profit by buying their own ingredients and doing their own marketing. They can shop around for better pricing, learn the benefits of buying in bulk, or negotiate with a local grocer for a better deal on repeat business.

They can differentiate themselves by holding “buy two cups get one free” sales or throwing in a free cinnamon sugar cookie with each purchase.

Want to kick it up a notch? Let’s say there’s more than one hot spot in the neighborhood for set-up. You can guide your child through “franchising” by forming a partnership with other neighborhood kids. He

can provide the supplies and setup, and they get paid for managing the table.

At some point your child may find out franchisees aren’t doing what they are supposed to do (giving away drinks to friends or leaving their stand unattended, for example). This is a chance to walk him through the tough conversation he must have. You might even brainstorm ways to stop the problem—say, by giving kids a cut of the profits instead of paying a flat salary.

The Dog Days of Entrepreneurship (Dog Walking). Taking Fido for a walk every day is a good way for kids to make a little extra money. (This is especially true in the cooler months as the days get shorter and the temperatures get cooler and people are unable—or just unwilling—to venture out in the evenings.) Add two or three more canine clients to the mix and it becomes a great learning experience in multitasking and client management.

Help your child set up a client database to keep track of client contact information, schedules, payments due and received, and any special requests or needs.

Help her learn to gauge her own limits. Once she feels she’s at the outer edge of her ability to serve clients well, it’s time to stop accepting new clients or to bring on a partner or employee.

Taking this business to the next level can be easy and fun. Your child might offer every tenth walk free. Or, she might throw in a free dog washing with every new contract. Likewise, there are good opportunities to “spoke off” a whole new service: If she does a great job as a dog walker, she might offer her clients pet sitting services.

The Savvy House Sitter. Being given the keys to someone’s house, and perhaps the temporary custody of a beloved pet, is an honor. Explain to kids just how much trust clients are placing in them—and explain that if they go “above and beyond” they can shore up the relationship in a big way (not to mention generate enthusiastic referrals).

For sure, kids need to clean up any pet messes or spills, water the plants, check the mail, and take out the trash on trash day. That’s just basic good service. But they might also offer to tackle other projects for a small extra fee: scrubbing

bathrooms, washing cars, mowing the yard, or organizing photos.

“Kids are generally open to new approaches and new ways of thinking,” he says. “Their minds haven’t become ‘programmed’ like those of adults, so they don’t have to do a lot of unlearning old, outdated ideas. They’re creative and fearless and they realize this way of thinking makes sense.

“Frankly, it’s the parents who struggle with the entrepreneurial mindset,” adds Downing. “I always say that the toughest part of the journey takes place in the mind.

But it’s absolutely crucial that you take the first step, right alongside your child. Both of you can learn together. Your family’s future depends on it.”

Gregory S. Downing has dedicated his life to teaching his students that every family can truly control its financial future and create a generational legacy with profound, yet straightforward advice and guidance. As a nationally and highly respected author, speaker, family expert, and organizational consultant, his advice has been sought and put into practice by thousands of people from all walks of life. With over 20 years of experience in management, leadership, training, and business ownership, he has proven that his principles of legacy parenting, business promotion, entrepreneurship, and real estate investing both work and create bonds of relationship that go beyond the ordinary.

The Addams Family NATIONAL TOUR TO MAKE ITS ORANGE COUNTY PREMIEREAT SEGERSTROM CENTER FOR THE ARTS

The national tour of the new musical The Addams Family, based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, will make its Orange County premiere on December 18 at Segerstrom Center for the Arts as part of the Broadway Series.

Single tickets, which start at $20, will go on sale Sunday, November 4 at 10 a.m. PST. Tickets will be available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket savings for 10 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746. The 2 p.m. performance on Saturday, December 29 will include audio description, open captioning and sign-language interpretation.

The Addams Family played Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre from March 2010 – December 2011 where it grossed more than $85 million.

Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune described the production as “classic, full-tilt, fast paced, old-fashioned Page 18

musical comedy!” and John Simon of Bloomberg News called it “Uproarious! A glitzy-gloomy musical entirely worthy of the macabre drawings by Charles Addams.”

The North American tour of The Addams Family premiered in New Orleans in September 2011 and has played more than 350 performances to date. Richard Ouzounian of the Toronto Star called the production a “wackily entertaining musical […] that moves with breezy style and an open heart” and Robert Trussell of the Kansas City Star praised it as “first class [with] unexpected pleasure at almost every turn.”

The Addams Family national tour features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and music and lyrics

by Andrew Lippa. The production is directed and designed (sets and costumes) by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch with choreography by Sergio Trujillo. The entire production is under the supervision of four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks.

The production features lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Acme Sound Partners and

puppetry by Basil Twist. The production also features music supervision

by Mary-Mitchell Campbell, music direction by Ben Whiteley, orchestrations by Larry Hochman, dance arrangements by August Eriksmoen, hair design by Tom Watson, makeup design by Angelina Avallone and special effects design by Greg Meeh.

The Addams Family features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. A man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

In a prolific career spanning six decades, Charles Addams created several thousand cartoons, sketches

and drawings, many of which were published in The New Yorker. But it was his creation of characters that came to be known as The Addams Family that brought Addams his greatest acclaim. With a unique style that combined the twisted, macabre and just plain weird with charm, wit and enchantment, Addams’ drawings have entertained millions worldwide and served as the inspiration for multiple television series and motion pictures.

The Addams Family tour is produced by Stuart Oken, Roy Furman, Michael Leavitt, Five Cent Productions, Stuart Ditsky/AdamDitsky, Stephen and Mary Jo Schuler, Eva Price, James L. Nederlander, Stephanie P. McClelland, Pittsburgh CLO/Gutterman/Deitch, Vivek Tiwary/Jamie deRoy/Carl Mollenberg and Mary Lu Roffe, by special arrangement with Elephant Eye Theatrical. International productions have been announced for Australia (March 2013) and Argentina (June 2013).
