CAN’T KEEP A RESOLUTION? OUTSIDE SUPPORT CAN HELP Holiday celebrations are a traditional way to cap off the year, but once the ball drops it’s time to usher in a new beginning with New Year’s resolutions. Each year, millions of Americans resolve to get in better shape and become healthier, better versions of themselves. But, unfortunately the vast majority don’t meet their goals. Less than a quarter of 1,000 people surveyed by YMCA of the USA kept their resolution in 2014. An overwhelming 71 percent said they tried but fell short, and 40 percent confessed that they made it through only a couple weeks or months. However, there’s hope for the coming year. One-third of survey respondents who plan to make a resolution in 2015 believe they’ll stick to it and reach their goals, with more than half believing that encouragement from others will keep them committed. Finding a supportive community can be beneficial in keeping resolutions on track. Organizations like your local Y offer a place to work out as well as opportunities to connect with others and give back to the community, which
can help foster more commitment to keeping resolutions. A positive outlook doesn’t always translate to action unless you set manageable goals and lean on the support of your health and wellness communities. Here are some tips to make a healthy New Year’s resolution stick: Start small. Set attainable resolutions. For example, if your goal is to exercise more frequently in the new year, don’t schedule seven days a week at the gym. Start with a reasonable three days a week. If you’d like to eat healthier, try replacing desserts with other foods you enjoy, such as fruit or yogurt. Take it one step at a time. Making a New Year’s resolution doesn’t require you to reassess every little detail of your life. Replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones takes time, so don’t become overwhelmed. Work to change one behavior at a time, and then go from there. Choose a facility that focuses on a holistic approach to health. When it comes to adding healthy behaviors - like working out - to your lifestyle, finding a facility that
keeps you motivated is critical to maintaining your exercise routine. Before committing to a membership, take a tour of local gyms to find the best fit for you. Your facility should not be just a gym, but a community organization that offers more health, more hope and more opportunity. Establish a little friendly competition. More than half of the Y survey respondents felt a little “healthy competition” when friends encouraged them to be even more committed to keeping their New Year’s resolutions. Share your experiences with support groups - friends, family, fellow workout class members or close colleagues. Talking about your
A KISCO COMMUNITY
struggles and successes will make your goals more obtainable and less intimidating. Set New Year ’s goals with someone you love. It’s easier to stick to your resolutions if you have a partner working toward similar goals. More than three-fourths of survey respondents indicated that they would set the same resolution for a member of their immediate family. Team up with a family member to set your 2015 goals, and establish a game plan that is dedicated to achieving them.

MAKE TRAVELING SOMEWHERE EXCITING YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION Have you ever made a New Year’s resolution before? If you have, chances are you’ve tried to lose weight, advance your career, learn a new hobby or achieve some other such goal to reinvent yourself. All of these goals require a long-standing commitment and many fizzle out, leaving you feeling unsatisfied. Now’s the time to change things up. Instead of committing yourself to a long-term obligation, set a New Year’s resolution around fun and excitement, the kind you simply won’t find at home. Set your resolution to leave your same-old, same-old behind to travel and explore someplace new and exciting. Myrtle Beach can be that area for you and your family. With numerous attractions, it’s great for groups or quiet romantic getaways. Here are four reasons Myrtle Beach delivers immediate fun and long-lasting memories. * Something for everyone. No matter where you go, you should pick a destination that works for your entire group and allows everyone to enjoy the best vacation possible. Myrtle Beach, for example, has
numerous activities and attractions that deliver something for everyone. If you are coming with your family, plan a fun-filled vacation with visits to Ripley’s Aquarium, the Carolina Opry or Broadway at the Beach. And if your trip is more about celebrating a specific milestone, be it a birthday or anniversary, there’s no better place to do it than atop the SkyWheel. Soaring to the top of one of the nation’s tallest Ferris wheels will give you a whole new outlook on, well, everything. * Beyond the beach. The Myrtle Beach area is well known for its 60 miles of pristine beaches but there’s also plenty more to do beyond the beach. The area offers numerous outdoor activities and quiet spaces waiting to be explored, including Brookgreen Gardens, Huntington and Myrtle Beach State Parks - and the famous Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. * Chance to get off the beaten path. The Myrtle Beach area is more than just a single city center. It is actually composed of 14 distinct communities, each with their own unique offerings. Visiting these communities allows you to explore historic Conway, enjoy live music along Murrells Inlet, or swing
on a hammock along the Pawleys Island seashore. Take the time to step away from the crowds and immerse yourself in local activities for a true, one-of-a-kind experience. * Tremendous value. The new year is no time to introduce new debt, so find value in your travels whenever possible. Myrtle Beach offers lodging and attractions for every budget level, allowing you to plan the trip that matches your goals and your bottom line. Look for lodging and package
deals now and throughout the year. Start planning your resolution today There’s no time like the present to start a New Year’s resolution. Make yours to explore somewhere new and exciting this year. It’s a great way to start 2019 right, and one resolution you’ll look forward to keeping.

FINE HAND CRAFTED GAME TABLES & FURNITURE “The first time I saw Sean Woolsey’s ping pong table it was in his studio and I was struck by the craftsmanship and artistry. I feel the same way two years later. It is absolutely beautiful. The photos on his website don’t do it justice.” Fred Crim, Huntington Beach, CA At Sean Woolsey Studio we know that the only way to build really fine furniture is to use time-proven wood crafting techniques. Yet we use design technology and lasting coatings, glues, and other products of the 21st century. The creative process melds two eras yielding exquisite, select furnishings for home or office. Our standard is to not take short cuts used in mass production. We craft individual furniture pieces and game tables in the detail focused way of the past masters who have left a legacy. While a picture may be worth a thousand words there is nothing like seeing our pieces in person. Once you do, we believe it will be apparent there is a marked difference in quality and craftsmanship in a piece from Sean Woolsey Studio. So if you are considering acquiring something new and special to add to your home or office we welcome you to come see for yourself. You will walk away with a new appreciation of true craftsmanship.

CREATING CONFIDENCE: 8 STEPS TO FEELING MORE SELF-ASSURED
Virtually everyone struggles with a lack of self-confidence at some point in their lives and it’s perfectly normal to feel unsure of yourself in certain situations. However, if you find a lack of confidence is holding you back from fully enjoying your personal life, or achieving your professional goals, it may be time to take action. “There are actually steps you can take to rebuild your confidence, even when you’re struggling to feel self-assured,” says Susie Moore, a motivational speaker, best-selling author and life coach. “Confidence is a real-life super power that affects every aspect of your life, from your relationships to your career and social life, but it’s also more attainable than you think.” Moore shares tips on how you can be your most confident self and live a fulfilled, unconditional life: * Tap the power of words and positive thinking by starting every day with an uplifting mantra. Positive self-talk such as “I am loveable. I am worthy. I am enough” can help boost confidence levels. Make a conscious decision to be more kind and gentle with yourself every day. * Practice a strong pose and smile to help enhance your sense of confidence. Confidence is all about attitude. Making these small physical changes can immediately impact how self-assured you feel in any situation. * Make self-care non-negotiable. Take time to listen to your body and give it what it needs to help you feel confident. For example, millions of men and women experience bladder leakage, but products like Depend
FIT-FLEX Underwear, which are designed to move with your body while offering trusted protection, can help you think less about leaks. That’s energy you can devote to better things, like reconnecting with the people and parts of your life you’ve been missing. * Keep your mind and body active. Being busy leaves you little time to overthink, so fill your life with activities you enjoy. Yoga, visiting friends, reading, cooking, going for walks or even organizing your closet all count! * Speak with intention. The way you talk impacts your mood, your confidence and how other people perceive you. When you use verbiage like “I’ll try” or “I don’t think I can,” you’re really allowing yourself permission to feel unconfident. Instead, build confidence and commitment with statements like “I will” and “I know I can.” * Don’t overcomplicate things or allow yourself to be distracted by unimportant things. Focus on your
daily objectives and long-term goals by cultivating a clear and positive vision of how you want your life to be. * Listen to, but don’t heed negative opinions of others. Your positive attitude and vision are more important than anyone else’s negative thoughts. * Be sure to reserve time and energy for your own priorities. Busy lives mean we can get bogged down with commitments to others, and while those things are important, it’s vital to take care of yourself and your own priorities first. Build your schedule around the time you need for your own goals and let everything else fit in around that. “Confidence is an almost-magical quality that can help you lead your best, most fulfilled life and - more importantly - it’s in your grasp!” Moore says.

ENVIRONMENTAL NATURE CENTER PRESENTS CONDORS & COCKTAILS FUNDRAISER
The Environmental Nature Center (ENC) will celebrate the addition of a new life-sized California Condor display during the Condors & Cocktails fundraiser on January 23, 2019 at 5:30PM. Guests will enjoy hors d’oeuvres, wine donated by Esser Vineyards, and signature condor themed cocktails. Proceeds from the event, including a condor trivia contest and silent auction, will benefit the ENC Nature Preschool. The Environmental Nature Center is located at 1601 E. 16th Street, in Newport Beach. Tickets to the event can be purchased at encenter.org Construction on the highly anticipated state-of-the-art ENC Nature Preschool has begun, with an estimated completion date of August 2019. The ENC Nature Preschool will be the community’s first nature preschool and nature play area. The preschool will be located on 1.3 acres bordering the Nature Center’s Redwood Forest, at 745 Dover Drive. The California Condor replica, commissioned by ENC Founder Robert House, was recently installed in the Center’s foyer. It gazes down on visitors entering the Center’s Nature Museum. Also, recently installed is interpretive signage describing House’s first encounter with a California Condor, at eighteen working his fourth summer at Golden Trout Camp, a dude ranch south of Mt. Whitney in the Sierra Nevada. A painting by local artist Monica Edwards illustrates the scene. “The ENC Nature Preschool

presents a terrific opportunity for the ENC to expand its role as an educator in the community,” said House. “The children who attend our preschool will make memories that will last a lifetime, as special as my memories of summers spent in the Sierra Nevada. The opportunities for hands-on learning and nature exploration will help them develop into environmentally literate adults and instill in them a lifelong environment ethic.” Nature Preschools teach the building blocks of a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) education by providing young children with the opportunity to become familiar with the natural world by playing – and learning – while surrounded by nature. “Learning outside increases students’ ability to think creatively and improves problem-solving skills,” said ENC Preschool Director Sue Bierlich. “Research shows that students who participate in outdoor education demonstrate increased enthusiasm for learning, improved academic performance, better language skills, and a variety of substantially increased critical thinking skills.” “Outdoor education promotes lifelong physical and emotional well-being,” said ENC Executive Director Bo Glover. “Numerous studies suggest that contact with nature is as important to children as good nutrition and adequate sleep. Time spent outdoors correlates with increased physical activity and fitness

in children. Exposure to green space increases general wellbeing and ability to focus.” The ENC is aiming to achieve a Platinum Level LEED Rating on the new facility. The US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. It is also the ENC’s goal to achieve certification through the Living Building Challenge. The preschool was already awarded a citation from the American Institute of Architects Orange County Chapter (AIAOCC) in 2015. The ENC’s Nature Preschool was one of eight projects selected to receive an award out of the 56 projects that were entered into the design competition. It was the only project to receive an award that was not a completed project; meaning the jury saw great potential in the building. It was noted during the award ceremony “that the site design and building worked seamlessly and a great deal of thought was given to the creation of a learning environment where nature was the focus.” “I truly believe that this Nature Preschool and Nature Play Area will be an integral addition to the community making an essential impact on the next generation.” said Rick John, long-time Newport Beach resident and ENC Board Member. “We are urgently seeking community members to join us in supporting the
ENC Nature Preschool.” For more information or to donate to the ENC’s Nature Preschool, visit encnaturepreschool.org or contact ENC Executive Director Bo Glover at 949-645-8489 ext. 101 or bo@ encenter.org. About the ENC Founded in 1972, the ENC is a fascinating combination of 15 California native plant communities, wildlife habitat, walking trails, and sustainably designed, LEED Platinum certified learning center. For over 45 years, the ENC has been shaped and caressed into a 5-acre landscape for learning, a sanctuary from life’s pressures and a place of preservation and instruction. Serving over 28,000 students and thousands of visitors annually, the ENC is recognized as a leader in science and social science education providing opportunities for increasing our community’s knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the natural world. With a mission of providing quality education through hands-on experience with nature, the ENC inspires all generations to protect the natural world by serving as our community’s foremost authority o n e c o l o g i c a l r e s p o n s i b i l i t y, sustainable practices and environmental education.

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY OF ORANGE COUNTY ANNOUNCES CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION
The Philharmonic Society of Orange County is pleased to present its Chinese New Year Celebration on Monday, February 18, 2019, 8pm, at Segerstrom Hall, Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Bringing a rare opportunity to experience the quintessence of Chinese culture, the Chinese New Year Celebration features a performance by the Hubei Chime Bells National Chinese Orchestra, as well as the internationally renowned China National Beijing Opera Company, Troupe One, with special appearances by Peking Opera superstars Yu Kuizhi and Li Shengsu. This performance is part of the Philharmonic Society’s Eclectic Orange Series, sponsored by Judith and Howard Jelinek. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, December 17. The first half of the program features the Hubei Chime Bells National Chinese Orchestra performing works that transport listeners to ancient China. In 1978, a set of 2,500-yearold bronze and stone chime bells were excavated from the tomb of a Chinese ruler from the Bronze Age in Hubei, China. Believed to be the earliest twelve-tone equal temperament instruments in the world, these chime bells create an authentic, melodious timbre and also are breathtaking to behold due to their grand scale and elaborate cast technique. Additionally, other traditional instruments are featured on the program, including the qing, a stone or jade chime; the xun, a vessel flute; and the se, a plucked zither. The second half of the concert features Troupe One of the China National Beijing Opera Company
presenting three scenes from the Peking opera repertoire that include instrumental music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. Dressed in traditional costumes with full makeup, celebrated performers Yu Kuizhi and Li Shengsu are featured on a program that includes scenes from three classic Peking operas: Divergence, Palace of Eternal Life, as well as Uproar in Heaven, a classic Chinese story that follows the adventures of the mischievous Monkey King who wreaks havoc in his rebellion against the Jade Emperor. The Hubei Chime Bells National Chinese Orchestra is a part of the Hubei Provincial Opera and Dance Drama Theatre, which is a leading performing arts organization that produces and performs traditional and folk opera, dance and music of the Hubei province. Committed to innovation in the arts, the theatre has won numerous awards including the first prize of the Excellent Performance Award of the first China Opera Festival, a Wenhua Award and Hubei Five-One Project Award. Through their international tours, the Hubei Chime Bells National Chinese Orchestra commits itself to cultural exchange and establishing connections between Chinese people and people from all over the world through visual and auditory performances. Founded in 1955 as China’s premier Peking opera organization, the China National Beijing Opera Company is one of the national ensembles of performance arts directly under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture, People’s Republic of China.
The company includes acclaimed performers, playwrights, directors, composers and stage designers and has presented productions ranging over the wide diversity of Peking opera performance styles. The company’s Troupe One is its most esteemed, delivering the highest quality performances of traditional and contemporary repertoire. Masters of their generation, leading artist Yu Kuizhi and acclaimed director Li Shengsu have enhanced the artistic style of Troupe One, which also includes numerous performers who have won awards in national competitions. Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Segerstrom Hall, is located at 600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Ticket prices start at $28 and are available at the Philharmonic Society box office at (949) 553-2422, online at www.PhilharmonicSociety. org, and at the Center box office at (714) 556-2787.

TWO YEARS OF AFFORDABLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE TUITION FUNDED IN GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM’S BUDGET
Gavin Newsom Governor Gavin Newsom released his 2019-20 Budget Plan which proposes to fully fund two years of free community college in California at a cost of $40 million. These funds were proposed in the 2019-20 state budget, from the $200 million voterapproved Proposition 98 General Fund. This proposal extends the California College Promise to waive enrollment fees for first-time, full-time students for a second academic year. Assembly Bill 2 (AB 2), jointly authored by Assemblymembers Sharon QuirkSilva, Miguel Santiago, David Chiu, Kevin McCarty, Rob Bonta, Laura Freidman, Lorena Gonzalez, and Sabrina Cervantes was introduced to strengthen the California College
Promise policy. This budget proposal takes an important step towards guaranteeing a completely free community college experience for California students. “We must be sure that California’s students have access to higher education, yet high tuition costs deny students and their families the dream of obtaining a degree,” said Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D – Orange County). “Expanding the College Promise Program will give working class students, and their families, assurance that the cost of higher education, and the American Dream, will be within their reach. A reinvestment in our students is an investment in California; its educated students, skilled workforce, economy, and its future.” “Community college changed my life,” said Assemblymember Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles). “It gave me choices and opportunities and it opened doors. I know that free community college will change the lives of all Californians. To educate a community is to empower a community. I applaud the Governor’s budget proposal to fund two years of free community college. He has consistently shown leadership on this issue and I look forward to partnering with him in our efforts to strengthen the California College Promise with AB 2.” “This budget proposal shows the new Governor’s commitment to
working towards a world-class higher education system that is accessible to all,” said Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco). “Providing two years of free community college tuition will make it easier for students to receive a college education and encourage more students to enroll.” “California’s future economy will require about 2 million college students with new academic degrees by 2030,” said Assemblymember Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento). “By providing two years of free community college, California will help more students graduate with less debt, and will grow the number of degree and certificated workers needed to compete in the global economy” “A college degree can open the door to a lifetime of opportunity, but for many Californians, the cost of tuition is an insurmountable barrier,” said Assemblymember Laura Friedman (D-Glendale). “With AB 2, we’re investing in our students and economy by creating pathways to sustainable careers.” “The cost of earning a college degree has become a heavy burden on an entire generation of Californians,” said Assemblymember Rob Bonta (D-Oakland). “Young people today worry about whether they’ll be able to pay for their dream of going to college without going into mountains of debt. It’s unfair and unsustainable. I’m proud to be joint-authoring AB 2 that would make college more affordable
and accessible. I’m pleased this effort is also a key priority for the Governor and look forward to working together to make this a reality. Not only will it help our students, it will also aid California in meeting its future workforce demands and keep our state the world’s innovation leader.” “California can’t pretend that the education needed to prepare our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow ends at the 12th grade. If it’s the state’s responsibility to offer a free public education, then we must offer no-cost access to our great community college system,” said Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego). AB 2 was introduced on December 3, 2018 and will likely be heard in the Assembly Higher Education Committee in late February/early March. An important component of the California College Promise is to provide students information about financial aid and services available to support their success. Based on 2017-18 data, approximately 28,000 first-time, full-time students are projected to be eligible for a second year of free tuition, assuming their California Community College (CCC) meets the participation requirements of the program. To assist CCC with these efforts, the Budget proposes $5 million one-time General Fund for the Chancellor’s Office to expand outreach around the College Promise.

TOP PHILANTHROPISTS HONORED AT NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DAY Photos by: Tony Lattimore and Carla Rhea The 32nd Annual National Philanthropy Day Awards honored Orange County’s top philanthropists, business leaders and individuals with over 900 in attendance at City National Grove of Anaheim. Produced by the Orange County Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, National Philanthropy Day has become the most prominent philanthropic recognition event in Orange County, with more than 1,000 honorees since its inception in 1986. Hosting the heartwarming affair, which was themed, “Take Action! Create Change!” were PBS-So Cal’s Maria Hall-Brown and KTLA Channel 5’s Henry DiCarlo, with Jane Hansen and Jeanne Flint serving as event co-chairs. James and Suzanne Mellor, the 2017 Outstanding Philanthropists, served as honorary chairs, and the Judging Committee was headed by philanthropist Janet Ray and John Christiansen of Cornerstone Communications. Highlights included Outstanding Philanthropists Ling and Charlie Zhang’s thank-you remarks, when at the end, they both broke into a rousing rendition of “God Bless America,” which brought the entire room to its feet singing along. Outstanding Founder Michelle Wulfestieg brought tears to many guests’ eyes as she related how she had had a stroke at 11 years of age that disabled her for life. After she began a career in hospice at age 21, she wasn’t expected to survive her second stroke at 25. “Clearly,” she said, “I had more work to do.” She founded Southern California Hospice Foundation soon after to fill the gap of the needs of the terminally ill not covered by medical insurance. She is currently working on funding her Heavenly Home Project to create a loving home where hospice can be provided for those who have nowhere else to go. “A place where dignity and compassion reigns,’ she said. Lauren Best, the Outstanding Youth honoree, was honored for her work with special needs students at her high school and through Girl Scouts, where she founded one of the only troops for students with special needs in Southern California. She says, “I was able to address the social isolation experienced by students with special needs, and I realized that even as a young person, I have the ability to make the community a better place.” Best was presented $2,500 from AFP OC members by the organization’s president Elissa Oransky to be designated to two charities of the honoree’s choice. She chose Sonora High School’s Best Buds Club and Girl Scouts of Orange County. She was also presented a $1,000 check for her continuing development and education from the AFP-OC Scholarship Fund. The remaining awards included the Legacy Award, presented to the Ueberroth Family Foundation, represented by Ginny and Peter Ueberroth and their daughter Vicki Booth; Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser, Joe Hanauer; Outstanding Philanthropic Group, Orange County Bar Association Charitable Fund, represented by its President Michael Baroni and CEO/Executive Director Trudy Levindofske; Outstanding Small Business, Shulman Hodges & Bastain, represented by its partners Len Shulman, Ron Hodges and Jim Bastian; Outstanding Mid-Size Business, Service Champions Heating & Air Conditioning, represented by its Founder/Owner Leland Smith; and Outstanding Large Corporation, Bank of America, Orange represented by County Market President Allen Staff. All the honorees were presented with a beautifully crafted hand-blown glass heart sculpture, created by master glassblower John Barber of Laguna Beach. The effort netted $80,000 for the support of the ethical advancement of philanthropy in the community by the Orange County Chapter of AFP. National Philanthropy Day Orange County honors those who have demonstrated philanthropy and enhanced their communities and the world. Each year, more than 100 Association of Fundraising Professionals chapters throughout the US and Canada honor the philanthropic efforts of individuals, businesses and groups.

HERE AND THERE IN THE WORLD OF WINE & FOOD
Happy wine drinker who love the desert in winter will gather at the 2nd annual Rancho Mirage Wine & Food Festival, Sat. Feb. 2. David Greer and Michele Graber were the merry bartenders for the “Big Dogs from Napa” holiday event at Meritage Wine Market in Encinitas. For those of you who are just joining our growing network of readers and viewers, every so often we sift through the in-box emails, texts and mail-ins for a number of eye catching bits of wine & food information that I love to pass along but are too short for a feature. We call it “Here and There in the Wine & Food World.”
BIG DOGS FROM NAPA SHOWCASE AT MERITAGE WINE MARKET
During the holiday season, Meritage Wine Market in Encinitas brought in the “Big Dog” wines from Napa for its regular Friday night wine soiree. 6 beauties were opened and the conversation flew about the merits of such luminaries as Cakebread, Caymus, Lewis and my favorite, Hourglass Estate 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon. ($195.) It’s a dark expression of black fruit, cassis and blackberry The wine bar presents, every Friday, tastings from 6 to 8pm as well as occasional classes and seminars with educator Michele Graber in a special cellar tasting room. Interested readers should visit meritagewinemarket. com.
WINE PREDICTIONS FOR 2019 Wine Spectator sent us over a roundup of Sommelier comments on wine trends and wines worth watching for, and wines to forget about. They answered: more bubbles, more New Zealand, more Napa Valley and better “natural” wine. More than a few wrote that there is an over supply of Rose’. Rose’s especially from California are over-produced with just about every winery making at least one. (Sounds
like what happened with Merlot!) Look for a Rose’ crash. Can’t come too soon for me. Out-of-the-way smaller locations in Italy, like Puglia in the south, are on the rise, since travel to the land of pasta, pizza and wine has increased. Minimal intervention in wines are more important. It makes no sense to tamper with wine’s natural flavors if the terroir, grapes and weather are the superior. More mature wines (aged) and more large bottle formats (magnums) are getting more popular as they become more affordable. Watch for nutrition information on wine labels, maybe not this year but they are coming. Spain and Portugal are ready to take off (similar to Italy, big hike in tourism). Great small producers from Tuscany, making Chianti Classico, are getting better and better, (he must have read my columns of 3 weeks ago), especially with 100% Sangiovese. People are becoming more adventurous with their wine choices, as restaurants and wine bars are also getting out of their comfort zone. So there it is….the future of wine in 2019. Go try something new!
DAVE FRASCHETTI, AND HIS CLASSIEST WINE FESTIVALS Dave Fraschetti is the lovable, big grinned producer of 2 wine-only annual festivals: The Rancho Mirage Wine & Food Festival, held in the
desert Saturday February 2 from 1 to 5pm now in its 2nd year; and the Vin Diego Wine & Food Festival at San Diego’s Waterfront Park from 3 to 7pm, Saturday April 13, now in its 7th year. Dave had just left the corporate world and without prior experience, wanted to put on a wine show, som6 6 years ago. He sat in my office, we drank wine and with his business sense and love of wine, I knew he could make it especially when he said “I want to put on a wine-only show….no beer, whiskey, or other hard stuff allowed. Winemakers want it that way and that’s what they’re gonna get.” He has top chefs come in plus lots of music for both of the shows. In the desert, he has special pre show dinners. For tickets, visit at ranchomiragewineandfoodfestival.

Make sure that these readers are aware of your company and what you do by keeping a regular, affordable advertising message in the newspaper that all of them read every week 2.Why pay more to reach your most preferred customers?

Major daily newspapers like the Times and the Register reach nearly a million readers, but do you really need to pay their high prices to reach your customers in Newport News?

While everyone knows that the Newport News is delivered to nearly every single family residence in Newport Coast by the United States Post office, the Newport News is also hand-delivered each week to local Newport News area businesses, professional offices, library, and several centrally located news racks other popular gathering spots where Newport News residents can easily pick up a copy. 5.Who is this woman that raises hundreds of millions of dollars and how can she help me grow my business? If you don’t know her already, get to know Kelly Bennett, the top society columnist in Orange County. She also has the top rated radio show and television program “Breakfast with Gary and Kelly. Readers eagerly await her weekly column in the Newport News which features
major charity events where the beautiful people of Orange County gather for fashionable luncheons and dinners which regularly raise millions of dollars for worthy causes.

Read Kelly Bennett’s “Society Scene “column every week in the Newport News and see why. 6. Free Online Advertising Newport News Version each week.

FRANK SINATRA’S MALIBU BEACH HOUSE ON THE MARKET!
Filled with family and close Hollywood friends, the house that Frank and Barbara Sinatra built in the early 1990s on Broad Beach in Malibu is now on the market for the first time. The home has been listed for $12.9 million. Of all the beautiful homes and retreats Sinatra owned from coast to coast, it seemed that he found his true happy place when he and Barbara visited their good friends Steve and Eydie Gorme in Malibu. Enthralled with the peacefulness of the Pacific, the white-sand beach and the prospect of having close friends for neighbors, the couple bought a lot and built their home in 1992. In addition to it being a restful beach home for Frank, who was still touring until shortly before his death at age 82, they filled the home with family and the most famous names in show business. In her book, Lady Blue Eyes: My Life With Frank, Barbara fondly describes their life in the beach house and their poker games where jokes and laughter flowed as fast as
Page 16
the food and drinks. Although the couple also owned homes in Palm Springs and Los Angeles, this was where they chose to renew their vows in 1996 with friends watching from the dunes and speeches from Don Rickles and Bob Newhart. With Barbara’s death in 2017, her son from a former marriage has put the property on the market. Designed by architect-to-the-stars Ted Grenzbach, the house sits safely back from the waves nestled in lush lawn and mature landscaping with dunes framing the beach entrance. Its indoor-outdoor living plan affords an open and spacious floor plan for entertaining and still invites an intimate gathering in front of the oversized fireplace with a brandy on chilly evenings. Bright and white and filled with sunlight, the interior is the perfect foil for the colorful Pacific sunsets. With 40 feet of beach frontage, the two-story, 5,800-squarefoot house has seven bedrooms and nine baths. The large, unusually well-equipped master suite consists
The Newport News
of a lounge, fireplace, sauna and its own hair salon. In addition to beachformal living and dining areas, there is also a wood-beamed family room and a wet bar in the dining area which accommodates both indoor and outdoor entertaining. Possibly his all time favorite residence, which he built at age 75 and enjoyed with wife, family and
showbiz friends, Frank Sinatra’s Malibu beach house is for sale, asking $12.9 million. Listing agents are Leonard Rabinowitz and Jack Friedkin of Hilton & Hyland and Chris Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 1-4
HERITAGE POINTE HOSTS “ONE NIGHT TO REMEMBER” Photos by Ann Chatillon Heritage Pointe, well-known for its unparalleled residential community providing Independent, Assisted Living, and Memory Care Services for seniors, hosted its Inaugural Community Concert “One Night To Remember” at City National Grove in Anaheim to rave reviews! Close to 250 guests were in attendance at this Concert, which was both musically inspiring and spiritually uplifting, hallmarks of both headlining performers, the well-known A Capella Group The Maccabeats, and singer-songwriter of acoustic pop music Todd Herzog. “Every year for our major fundraiser we endeavor to engage the entire Orange County community in the venue we select, hoping it will appeal to a broad spectrum of the community,” stated Mike Silverman, CEO of Heritage Pointe. The evening commenced with an elegant VIP Reception at 4:00 p.m., followed by the Community Concert and Dinner from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Students from Irvine Hebrew Day School were on hand to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and to sing Ha Tikvah, the National Anthem of Israel. By combining powerful songwriting with clear vocals that express the true measure of his lyrics, Todd Herzog is reminiscent of Jason Mraz, Michael Buble, Five for Fighting, and Bono. He has an uncanny ability to tell a story that is both profound and intensely personal to his listeners, while remaining approachable and easy listening. Todd writes acoustical pop music that feels intimate and immediate, leaving the listener with a sense that a certain song had been written just for them. As a surprise to guests, Herzog performed a special song he had written for the occasion entitled “L’dor Vador – Heritage Pointe,” with violin accompaniment performed by Heritage Pointe’s own Beth Slavin! The Maccabeats have also earned wide renowned for their exceptional storytelling. Originally a student vocal group at New York’s Yeshiva University, they now have performed all over the world. With a stage appearance that resembles a college yearbook from decades ago, their clean-cut presentation is as inviting as their infectious sense of humor, evident in their songwriting and parodies of many popular contemporary hits. Voted Best Retirement Facility/Independent Living in Orange County, and One of the Top Three Independent, Assisted Living and Memory Care Facilities in Orange County Best of Orange County 2018, Heritage Pointe is a nonprofit residential community for seniors in Mission Viejo, California. For almost 30 years, Heritage Pointe has offered a safe and secure living environment, where Residents can live life to its fullest, surrounded by well-trained and compassionate caregivers.
