Left Wing Dramas, ‘Homeland’ and ‘Game Change,’ Clean Up at the Emmys

By Mark Whittington The big Emmy winners for 2012 were two dramas with a decidedly left-wing slant, as well as the comedy series “Modern F a m i l y. ” T h e d r a m a w i n n e r s were the Showtime terrorism series, “Homeland” and the HBO political movie “Game Change,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

“Homeland” received four Emmys, for best dramatic series, best writing, best actor for Damien Lewis as the Marine traitor and best actress for Claire Danes as the CIA agent, with mental health issues, who pursues him.

“Homeland” depicts the return of a Marine from Al Qaeda captivity and his reintegration into American life. It is gradually revealed during the season that the Marine is a traitor, a Muslim convert, and a sleeper agent for Al Qaeda. It is suggested that the character may be justified in his treason due to American Middle East policy that involves

the deliberate bombing of innocent civilians.

“Game Change” won four Emmys as well, for best miniseries or movie, best direction, best writing, and best actress for Julianne Moore who played a version of Sarah Palin that many who know her did not recognize. Moore, in her acceptance speech, was filled with snark when she said, “I feel so validated because Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs down” according to Brietbart Big Hollywood.

“Game Change” depicted Palin, the 2008 Republic vice presidential candidate, as a person of limited intelligence with a raging ego and mental health issues.

Breitbart’s Big Hollywood suggested that the movie, factually challenged as it was, was little more than a hit piece against Palin. The movie was greenlit at a time when Palin was considering a run for the presidency. The idea was that the movie would come out during the middle of the Republican primary season,

The portrait of Palin would be so devastating that Palin’s potential run would be derailed.

Palin declined to run during the 2012 election cycle, somewhat diminishing the political effect of “Game Change.” The movie does illustrate Palin’s political influence by showing how

the Hollywood left was so afraid of her that it resorted to making a propaganda film against her.

Mitt Romney, for all of his political power and acumen, had not gotten similar treatment.

How to stem the tide of junk mail

By Jason Alderman Here’s more than you ever wanted to know about junk mail: Each year, direct mail creates 10 billion pounds of solid waste in the U.S. and costs local communities more than $1 billion in collection and disposal expenses – not to mention putting you at greater risk for identity theft if you don’t shred personalized mailings before tossing.

So how can you stop the flood of junk mail you receive? You could try moving or changing your name, but as you’ve probably noticed, a lot of what’s delivered to your mailbox is addressed to “Occupant.” In fact, the U.S. Postal Service relies heavily on such deliveries, which now outnumber first-class postage mailings.

Here are a few more practical suggestions for stemming the tide: A good way to significantly reduce the number of offers you get for new credit accounts and insurance is to

register with www.OptOutPrescreen. com, a secure website created by the leading credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, Innovis and TransUnion).

By completing a simple online form, you can request to be removed from marketing lists the bureaus supply to lenders and insurance companies for use in firm (preapproved) credit or insurance offers. The electronic optout is valid for five years. If you want to opt out permanently, you must mail the form to the address provided. You can also opt back into such mailings electronically through the website.

And, if you prefer, you may opt in or out by phone at 888-567-8688.

Another good method to curb the amount of direct mail you receive is to register with www.DMAchoice. org, a program run by the Direct Marketing Association, the leading trade organization for businesses and non-profits that send direct mail.

When you register, your name is put in a “delete” file that is sent to DMA’s 3,600-plus members to check against their mailing lists.

It’s important to note that not all marketers belong to DMA, so registering won’t stop all such mailings. Also, it won’t stop mailings from companies

you already do business with or to which you’ve made a donation in the past. To get off their lists you’ll have to contact them directly.

You can also register with DMAchoice. org to stop mail from being sent to a deceased individual or if you want to manage mail being sent to a dependent in your care. And, they have an email preference service where you can opt out of receiving unsolicited commercial emails from DMA members for six years.

A third opt-out option to explore is www.CatalogChoice.org, a free service that helps you submit opt-out requests for catalogs, coupons, credit card offers, phonebooks, circulars and more. Catalog Choice also offers several paid where they do more of the legwork to get you off third-party mailing databases.

One last suggestion: If you’ve got elderly parents, you might want to

screen their mail for an overabundance of direct mail – especially catalogs and solicitations for money.

If they’re on a fixed income and susceptible to strong sales pitches, the combination can be devastating to their bank account. You can help them register with the organizations mentioned above.

No matter how diligent your efforts to get yourself off unwanted mailing lists, you’re probably still going to get some junk mail. But it’s good to know there are ways to significantly scale back the amount.

Newport News is an independent weekly newspaper published every Friday. We are not owned or operated by any of the big daily newspapers. 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.

By Jason Alderman Much was made of the size and complexity of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act when President Obama signed it into law in 2010. But now that the Supreme Court has upheld much of the act’s constitutionality, it’s a good time to review key provisions that have already gone live and to plot out what’s expected to happen in the next two years.

Changes already in place include: Children under 19 cannot be denied coverage because of preexisting conditions.

Adult children may remain on parents’ medical plan until they turn 26.

Lifetime insurance maximum payouts were eliminated.

In addition, annual coverage limits are being phased out.

Effective September 23, 2012, the annual limit increases to $2 million.

All new plans now must provide certain preventive services for free, such as mammograms, immunizations and colonoscopies.

People who’ve been refused insurance because of preexisting conditions may now be eligible for coverage through a “high-risk pool” program. Go to https://www. pcip.gov/ for information and to apply online.

Medicare Part D participants who reach the infamous doughnut hole now receive a 50 percent discount on brand-name prescription drugs – 14 percent on generics.

(These discounts will gradually increase until 2020 when the doughnut hole will disappear.)

Many core features of the Affordable Care Act won’t take full effect until 2014 and details are still being finalized, but here are highlights of what’s expected to happen between now and then:

By August 1, 2012, insurance companies that didn’t spend at least 85 percent of 2011 premium dollars for large group plans (over 50 employees) on medical care must refund the difference, through refund checks or discounted future premiums (80 percent for individual or small group plans).

By October 1, 2012, plans must begin adopting rules for the secure electronic exchange of health information – this will reduce paperwork, costs and medical errors.

By January 1, 2013, new federal funding will be in place to state Medicaid programs that choose to cover preventive services to patients at little or no cost.

By October 1, 2013, states will receive two additional

years of funding to continue coverage for children not eligible for Medicaid.

Effective January 1, 2014, most key provisions will be in place. For example: Individuals and those whose employers don’t offer health insurance will be able to buy it directly from statebased Affordable Insurance Exchanges, which will offer a choice of health plans that meet certain benefits and cost standards.

Most who can afford basic health coverage will be required to obtain it or pay a fee to offset the costs of caring for uninsured Americans.

Americans earning less than 133 percent of the poverty level will be eligible to enroll in Medicaid.

Refundable tax credits will be available to those earning between 100 and 400 percent of the poverty level to help pay for affordable insurance. They also may qualify for reduced copayments, coinsurance and deductibles.

Annual coverage dollar amount limits will be prohibited.

Adults will no longer be refused coverage due to preexisting conditions.

Insurance companies will no longer be able to charge higher rates to individuals and small groups due to gender or health status.

These are only a few of the many healthcare changes we’ll see as a result of the Affordable Care Act. To learn more, please visit www.HealthCare.gov.

GIRL SCOUTS open house for NEW MEMBERSHIP YEAr More than 400 new and returning Girl Scouts, volunteers, and their families descended upon Girl Scouts of Orange County’s headquarters in Irvine for the Annual Girl Scout Open House and Fall Product Rally on Saturday. The event kicked off the new 2012-2013 membership year and offered Girl Scouts the opportunity to tour the headquarters and learn more about Girl Scout programs including travel, camp, and leadership awards. The event highlighted the Fall Product Program, in which girls develop important financial and business skills like goal setting and money management while earning money for their troop activities. At the event, girls tasted the new products including an assortment of nuts and snacks and set personal sales goals and outlined how they plan to achieve their goals. More than 23,000 Girl Scouts from every zip code in Orange County participate in Girl Scouting. Girl Scouts is currently enrolling new members and volunteers and renewing current members – those interested can visit www.GirlScoutsOC.org/join.

2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts, the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. Girl Scouts is the leading authority on girls’ healthy development, and builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. In Orange County, more than 23,000 Girl Scouts from every social and economic background are developing values, skills and abilities for success in the 21st century. According to a recent study conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute in conjunction with an independent research firm, women who were Girl Scouts as children display significantly more positive life outcomes than non-Girl Scout alumnae. Girl Scout alumnae have higher perceptions of self, higher rates of volunteerism and civic engagement, higher rates of college education and higher household incomes than non-alumnae. To join, volunteer, reconnect with or donate to Girl Scouts, call (949) 461-8800 or visit www.GirlScoutsOC.org.

Gala event Brings $248k for Visually Impaired Children Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda was the distinguished venue for the Southern California College of Optometry’s Second Annual Shared Visions Gala and V-Awards. This was the College’s signature fundraising event with over 300 elegantly dressed guests. With their support, a record $248,000.00 was raised to facilitate top-tier healthcare education and the delivery of innovative vision care for Orange County’s underserved children. The 108 year old institution’s vision is to lead the future of eye, vision, and health care one student at a time.

“Our vision is to champion the effort to ensure every child in Orange County is ready to learn by the time he or she enters school by providing essential vision care,” stated SCCO President Kevin L. Alexander, O.D.,Ph.D. Serving for a second year as Honorary Co- Chairs were Community Philanthropists, Frances and Steve Knott, and Orange County PBS SoCal Anchor, Maria Hall-Brown, served as Master of Ceremonies.

The evening began with an elegant Cocktail Reception where guests were treated to an array of hors d’oeuvres and a special preview of the College’s acclaimed Shared Visions Art Exhibit, celebrating the artistic accomplishments of artists who are visually impaired or legally blind, highlighting their abilities, talents, and achievements.

Featured Artist for this year’s Gala, Arlissa Vaughn, created a “Live Painting” during the Cocktail Reception entitled HOPE FOR VISION, highlighting the Gala’s main focus on children’s vision.

Upon the painting’s completion, it was auctioned off to the highest bidder during the fun and fast-paced Live Auction. Barbara Gregory from Fullerton was the lucky winner taking it home for $600. A former resident of Seal Beach, California, Ms. Vaughn, now of Las Vegas, was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa seven years ago. She has participated for the past four years in the Shared Visions Art Exhibit.

Dinner was served in the East Room of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, followed by entertainment by Singer Marleena Coulston Barber, who herself is legally blind due to Albinism. Barber was a complete surprise as her one women show “Thank You for the Music” dazzled the crowd. She sang songs that paralleled her life telling stories about each song and how it fit within her challenges growing up. Starting out with Shy – from the Broadway Musical “Once Upon A Mattress”, Reflection – from the Disney animated film “Mullan”, Somewhere over the Rainbow, The Greatest Love of All by George Benson, Nothing – from the Broadway Musical “A Chorus Line” by Marvin Hamlisch, Who Will Love Me As I Am from the Broadway Musical “Sideshow”, At Last, In My Daughter’s Eyes, Feelin’ Good from the musical “The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd”, and Thank you for the Music by ABBA. Barber received a standing ovation after her performance.

This year the distinguished V-AWARDS recognized members of the community for their volunteer and humanitarian service and two national vision care programs. These Awards are based upon service and contributions over time that has significantly advanced the stature and integrity of mankind.

V-Award recipients this year included; Donald E. Studt, O.D., Abbott Medical Optics – Accepted by Jeff Castillo, James H. Blake, Thomas S. Tooma, M.D. , InfantSEE Program – Accepted by Ronald L. Hopping, O.D., MPH. The evening culminated with a particularly thrilling Live Auction, brimming with once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as a private wine tasting for 20 at Total Wine and More, Glenda Secore from Huntington Beach took that home for $1,300.

Keith Collins won the Nvision Laser Eye Lasik surgery for $4,200; a week at Lake Arrowhead with 11 guests at a 3200 square foot private vacation home went for $700 to Franklin Lusby, MD and the instant wine cellar with various wines and a 27 bottle refrigerator went for $1,800 to Dianna Orr-Norton.

auction was followed by a “Fund-a-Need”, which brought in additional dollars for the College to realize its dream of acquiring a Mobile Vision Van to conduct vision outreach within the Orange County community.

Established in 1904, SCCO is a private, non-profit, educational institution dedicated to educating today’s minds to provide tomorrow’s eye vision, and health care. The Southern California College of Optometry grants a four-year professional degree, Doctor of Optometry (OD) and a Master of Science in Vision Science (MS). In August 2011, SCCO announced plans to start a Physician Assistant Program – the FIRST IN ORANGE COUNTY – via a two-year graduate degree. For more information visit www.scco.edu/sharedvisions

BETTER, FASTER, CHEAPER - hIGH speed rail

The revised 2012 Business Plan outlines a strategy to improve statewide high-speed rail through: · Better integration with existing regional systems; · Faster improvements to infrastructure so Californians benefit more quickly; · Cheaper construction costs that reduce estimates from $98 billion to $68.4 billion.

High-Speed Rail (HSR) will integrate better with existing intercity and regional rail systems to: · Improve existing infrastructure right now to move trains faster and safer; · Integrate existing local rail services with high-speed rail; and · Invest in Southern California, Northern California and Bay Area local rail systems right now to make those systems safer, faster and ready to connect to high-speed train service.

FIVE STEPS TO FASTER CONSTRUCTION

Initial Operating Section (IOS). Service will launch in 2018, the current San Joaquin rail system will use this new infrastructure to cut travel time on the country’s 5th busiest Amtrak line and connect with other regional commuter systems.

The revised business plan also makes immediate improvements to local rail systems using existing Prop 1A funding, future federal funds and other sources: · Electrifies the Bay Area’s Caltrain Corridor and improves key rail corridors in Southern California · Links the San Joaquin, Altamont Commuter Express, Capitol Corridor and Caltrain systems; and · Closes the existing rail gap between Bakersfield and Palmdale Step 2—Initial High-Speed Rail Operations The next step completes the 300mile section from Merced to the San Fernando Valley. This service will operate without a subsidy, and will have potential to attract additional private investment for HSR system expansion. Service will launch in 2022.

Step 3— Electrified Bay to Basin Step 1—Early Investments for System immediate Statewide Benefit The third step connects the Central Construction of dedicated HSR Valley to San Jose, establishing a infrastructure begins in the Central Valley with the first segment of the connection from the Bay Area to the Page 14

PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S ASSISTANT CONDUCTOR MAXIM ESHKENAZY passes the baton to NEWCOMER ALEJANDRO GUTIÉRREZ It is sure to be a bittersweet moment when Maxim Eshkenazy— Pacific Symphony’s much-loved assistant conductor for the last four seasons—steps down at the end of 2012-13, passing the baton to new Assistant Conductor Alejandro Gutiérrez. But luckily, it’s going to be a long goodbye for the very popular Eshkenazy, who continues with the Symphony, sharing duties with Gutiérrez throughout the coming season.

I n h i s new role a s a ssist a n t conductor, Gutiérrez will begin assuming some of Eshkenazy’s duties over the next few months, and will eventually serve as music director of the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra; lead Family and Youth Concerts; and assist Music Director Carl St.Clair, as needed.

This December, during the Family Musical Mornings’ series concert, “Nutcracker for Kids,” conducted

by Eshkenazy, audiences will be introduced to Gutiérrez, as the baton is ceremonially passed.

Gutiérrez makes his official debut leading “The Magic Flute” on Jan. 12, 2013, while Eshkenazy continues his behind-the-scenes duties through May 2013.

“I feel really excited and happy to begin my duties as assistant conductor of Pacific Symphony, not only because the orchestra is recognized as being at an outstanding artistic level, but for its warm family environment among the musicians, conductors and all the administrative departments,” says Maestro Gutiérrez. “It is the perfect place to really develop a career as a conductor. There are good opportunities to conduct this great orchestra, to artistically lead some specific projects, especially in the area of education and young-audience engagement, all in outstanding venues and with high-level artists.”

Gutiérrez has been associate conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica since 1998, touring with the orchestra around all seven provinces of the nation, as well as conducting some subscription concerts. He is the creator and conductor of several successful educational and family programs: “Discovering Beethoven,” “The Family Instruments of the Orchestra,” “From the Caves to the Orchestra” and “The Concerto,”

among others. He has guest conducted the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra in Michigan, the Honduras Philharmonic, the Tatui Summer Festival Wind Orchestra, MIMU Festival Chamber Ensemble in Brazil and Costa Rica’s National Symphonic Choir.

Gutiérrez has also served as assistant conductor of the Austin Symphony Orchestra, music director of the University of Texas University Orchestra, music director and conductor for the 2011 University of Texas Opera Center production of Mozart’s “Così fan tutte” and prepared the national and international casts of Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly” for the Costa Rican National Lyric Opera in 2007.

As music director and conductor of the University of Costa Rica Symphony Orchestra and the National Institute of Music Wind Orchestra, Gutiérrez led a program for new music in which he premiered winning compositions of the National Award of Composition given by the minister of culture. He is the founder and director of the internationally known chamber ensemble “Trombones de Costa Rica,” which tours the U.S., Caribbean, Central and South America and Europe, and was awarded Costa Rica’s National Prize of Music in 1999 and the Special Prize of the City of Passau, Germany, in 1997.

“I have not yet had the opportunity to meet Alejandro, but having just come from conducting in Costa Rica—everyone spoke very highly of him,” says Maestro Eshkenazy. “They had nothing but nice things to say about Alejandro, and I’m sure I’ll feel the same.”

A rising star among today’s generation of young conductors, Bulgarian native Eshkenazy has been called “charismatic and exciting,” by the Los Angeles Times.

In 2011, Eshkenazy led Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra’s first highly successful European tour through Bulgaria, where they performed concerts in the cities of Varna, Plovdiv and Sofia to strong acclaim. With the Bakersfield Youth Symphony Orchestra, Eshkenazy completed a successful tour to South Korea, which was also received with great enthusiasm by audience and media

Maxim Eshkenazy

alike. In addition to leading Pacific Symphony’s Family and Youth Orchestra concerts, Eshkenazy conducted “Tchaikovsky Spectacular” during the Symphony’s Summer Festival 2011-12 and “Cirque de la Symphonie” in 2010-11, as well as in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall during this past winter season. He made his summer debut in 2009 with the Symphony in collaboration with the Orange County affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which saw record-breaking attendance.

T h e 2 0 1 0 - 11 s e a s o n a l s o marked the inception of Fortissimo Fest, where Eshkenazy serves as music director. The newlyfounded festival, underwritten by the America for Bulgaria Foundation, took place in his hometown of Sofia, and includes most of the major Bulgarian orchestras as well as orchestras and soloists from the United States. The Fortissimo Fest is a cultural-bridge builder and Eshkenazy is pleased to be an ambassador for the arts and integral link between the two nations. He is currently conclud-

ing the Fest this month, before returning to the states.

“I am feeling very upbeat,” says Eshkenazy from Bulgaria, reflecting on his fifth and final season. “I have always believed that at every crossroad, there are new opportunities. In this case, I am able to look to my future and choose a new path. It’s a great time for me.

“My time at Pacific Symphony has been fantastic,” continues Eshkenazy. “I’ve learned an incredible amount from Carl (St. Clair) and John (Forsyte, the Symphony’s president) and the staff. I’ve learned how to integrate myself into an American orchestra structure, and I’ve grown tremendously as a conductor. Anytime you have the chance to work with a great orchestra, it forces you to be a better conductor. I hope to one day be the music director of a major orchestra, one that will be leading the way for classical orchestral music.”

New Earthquake App Brings American Red Cross Safety Information to Mobile Devices The American Red Cross has launched its official Earthquake App, putting lifesaving information right in the hands of people who live in or who visit earthquake prone areas.

This free app-–available in English or Spanish-–is the third in a series created by the American Red Cross, the nation’s leader in emergency preparedness, for use on both iPhone and Android platforms. The Earthquake App comes on the heels of the highly successful First Aid and Hurricane apps, which have been downloaded more than 1 million times.

“This newest app gives instant access to local and real time information on what to do before, during and after earthquakes,” said Debbie Graves, regional director of preparedness for the Red Cross in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. “Southern Californians will receive earthquake notifications and can monitor activity where other family and friends reside. People who do not live in earthquake-prone areas can also have peace of mind knowing you’ll have instant information about loved ones.”

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be

aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 480-5690 or (800) 843-0260 ext 5690 or visit this Internet Web site: http://www.tacforeclosures.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case F537563 F. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney. Date: September 19, 2012 T.D. SERVICE COMPANY as said Trustee, T.D.

The Next Roman Catholic Bishop of Orange Announced: Bishop Kevin W. Vann to Succeed Bishop Tod D. Brown as the Fourth Bishop of Orange His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI has announced today that Bishop Kevin W. Vann (61) will succeed Bishop Tod D. Brown as the Bishop of Orange.

Bishop Vann, the current Bishop of Fort Worth, Texas, will be installed as the fourth Bishop of Orange in December. Bishop Brown was advised of the new appointment by the Papal Nuncio, the official representative of the Holy See for the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.

Bishop Brown, who was appointed the Bishop of Orange on the 30th of June 1998, reached the mandatory retirement age last year and completes 14 years of service as the leader of the tenth largest Roman Catholic Diocese in the United States. The Diocese is comprised of 62 parishes and diocesan centers and has a population of 1.2 million Catholics.

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 and a leading member of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Migration. Working within the Texas Catholic Conference, Bishop Vann has encouraged comprehensive immigration reform in the State of Texas and nationally.

His outreach to all immigrant communities, including the growing Vietnamese and Asian populations now present in Texas, will be important assets when beginning his assignment in the multi-cultural Diocese of Orange.

Bishop Vann is fluent in Spanish and Italian and is developing his Vietnamese language skills.

A native of Springfield, Ill., Vann is an accomplished pianist, an expert in canon law and gifted organizer. When installed as Bishop in 2005, the Diocese of Fort Worth served 400,000 area Catholics. Under his leadership the Diocese of Fort Worth has become a larger and more dynamic Catholic community serving over 700,000 Catholics, more than 50 percent being Hispanic.

Much of Ft. Worth’s diocesan growth is credited to Vann’s expansion of existing parish communities and an estimated $135 Million in 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 multiPage 18

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 has significantly increased. In 2012, the Diocese established a new parish to serve university students and a new elementary school.

Bishop Vann was instrumental in the development of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter - to allow for the ordination of former Anglican priests and to accept former Anglican communities into the Catholic Church.

One former Anglican priest was recently ordained a Catholic Priest by Bishop Brown to serve in the Diocese of Orange.

The Newport News

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.

In response to Bishop Vann’s appointment as his successor, Bishop Brown said: “The Diocese of Fort Worth has enjoyed a dynamic period of growth and the demands for comprehensive pastoral services there are not unlike those we have experienced, here in the Diocese of Orange. Bishop Vann enjoys an enviable record of success and I am exceedingly pleased by his appointment as my episcopal successor.

“While we have accomplished much in the years since I succeeded Bishop Norman MacFarland, including the recent acquisition of the former Crystal

Cathedral and its campus, much work remains to be done. This work will require an administrator with proven skills and a spiritual leader with an abundance of faith. Bishop Kevin Vann has these attributes and much more.

We are all blessed by his selection and I assure you - that I will do all I can to help make his transition to this important new responsibility enjoyable and productive.

“I plan to address the Diocese sometime soon and to reflect on the journey we have taken together. For now, the news is not about me - it is about our Diocese of Orange stepping into the future with its dynamic new leader.

“Let us celebrate this news and warmly, welcome Bishop Vann into our spiritual lives and our diocesan community.”
