NEW YEAR’S EVE CHAMPAGNE By Julie Wimmer Champagne is a New Years Eve staple. Most people, when they hear the word Champagne, think celebration, and New Years Eve is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, celebrations in the world. Whether you are a Champagne and/or wine drinker or not, it is always fun to toast the new year with a sip of the bubbly stuff. Lucky for us, there are different kinds to choose from depending on your palate and budget. What are the different kinds of Champagne? Champagne, as most of us know, is basically sparkling wine, however, there are different types. There is sweet Champagne and dry Champagne, just like wine. When the bottle claims the Champagne is “Extra-dry,” that obviously means it is dry, however, “Brut” means it is the driest kind of Champagne. The sweet bottles of Champagne are called “Sec,” which is sweet, and “Demi-Sec,” which is the sweetest. Picking a dry Champagne or a sweet Champagne can depend on taste, food or price. My father is a wine connoisseur. He has been buying, tasting and testing wine’s since before I was born. We even had a full wine cellar, although it was raw (dug out from the basement with a metal rack put inside,) in our house growing up. Suggestions from my father: Sweet wine and Champagne, according to my father, go with cheeses, red meat and saltier fair. Dry wine and
Champagne are better paired with desserts, fruits and sweeter dishes like a chicken dish with a sweet sauce. Buying Champagne When my husband and I went on our honeymoon in Nantucket years ago, we decided to over-splurge one night on dinner. We’d heard a particular restaurant was worth it, and it was, so we even splurged on the Champagne we ordered to toast ourselves. Each glass, however, was $25. We picked out what was considered an expensive Champagne, and it was certainly delicious, however, that price is steep. You can get a great Champagne at $25 for the entire bottle. You just have to know how to pick it. There are many brands, Korbel, Taittinger , Veuve (with that familiar yellow label,), Dom Perignon, Freixenet and many more that we have seen at liquor stores or heard about from commercials or magazine ads. If you are having guests who know nothing about wine or Champagne and are only going to have a sip at midnight, then it’s okay to go with a Spumante (which you can get for $6) or Freixenet. If you care about the taste however, do some research. Dom Perignon is high end, and yes, delicious no matter what type you pick, but a bottle can run you $100 and up. If you have that sort of cash and want to spend it, great, you are very fortunate. Taittinger has been rated in wine magazines and they have bottles, both dry and sweet, that
start at $23. A nice pick for a dinner party or New Years Eve. Veuve is very popular, however they also have great prices (like Taittinger) and many fantastic tastes to choose from. This brand is a great option for a large party on New Years Eve.
HANDCRAFTED AMERICAN FURNITURE BUILT TO LAST Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you. That quote by Frank Lloyd Wright is ever so present in the work of Sean Woolsey Studio. Based in Costa Mesa, Sean Woolsey and his team design and meticulously craft handmade furniture built to last for generations. “Our pieces are purposefully designed to last generations , in contrast to a ”throw away” mass market approach. The core of what we do is informed by the beauty, structure, and simplicity in nature” Woolsey says. Growing up Woolsey was influenced by his father, a reputable stained glass artist building lamps and custom doors and windows for high profile clients all over the country. “My dad taught me a lot, and was a role model to me in many ways. “I grew up building skate ramps, then had a stint in the apprel industry (having his own 2 brands) then working for Hurley in Costa Mesa. I ultimately wanted to make things with my hands, built things with purpose and out of the best materials possible. Pieces that I would be proud to own myself.” Woolsey left the apparel industry and forged a new path in hand crafted furniture. Today Sean Woolsey Studio makes everything in southern California, from chairs and desks to pool tables and ping pong tables.

SEGERSTROM CENTER FOR THE ARTS ANNOUNCES KIDS NIGHT AT THE BALLET FOR AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE’S HARLEQUINADE
Segerstrom Center for the Arts has a special Kids Night at the Ballet offer for the West Coast Premiere of American Ballet Theatre’s new production of Harlequinade on Thursday, January 17 at 7:30 p.m. With the purchase of one full-price ticket, parents can receive a second ticket free for children. Ticket prices start at just $39. Children and families are also encouraged to arrive early and enjoy pre-show activities in the Segerstrom Hall lobby beginning at 6:00 p.m., including a coloring station, crafts, photo opportunities and more! Costumed dancers from American Ballet Theatre will also be present for meet-and-greet with photo and selfie opportunities. Center President Terrence W. Dwyer said, “We’re so pleased to present Harlequinade, a thrilling new production by American Ballet Theatre. Harlequinade, with its exceptional performers, delightful humor, and lavish sets, costumes and music, provides a perfect introduction for families and children to the wonders of dance and theater. Dwyer added, “We’re especially proud the production features 42 students from the Center’s American Ballet Theatre William J. Gillespie School, which offers unparalleled training opportunities for children from throughout the county. We hope this special Kids Night at the Ballet will encourage entire families to experience a world-class production, hopefully inspiring many young dancers to pursue their artistic dreams.” This new staging of a rare comic gem was created over a remarkable 18 months by ABT Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky, inspired by the archival notes of Marius Petipa.

Harlequinade is set to a score by Riccardo Drigo, played live by Pacific Symphony. The ballet’s sets and costumes are by Robert Perdziola, praised by Forbes as a “feast of colors and whimsy.” Opening Night cast includes Isabella Boylston as Columbine, James Whiteside as Harlequin, Stella Abrera as Pierette and Thomas Forster as Pierrot. Additional performances of Harlequinade from January 18–20 include casts featuring Misty Copeland, Skylar Brandt, Sarah Lane, Hee Seo, Christine Shevchenko, Cassandra Trenary, Alexandre Hammoudi, Blaine Hoven, Carlos Gonzalez, Tyler Maloney, Calvin Royal III and Daniil Simkin.
The Story In the first act, the Harlequin and Columbine are kept apart by her father Cassandre, who would prefer that his daughter marry the wealthier (and older!) Lèandre. Not to be deterred, Harlequin tries futilely to win Cassandre over, only to be turned away again and again by Cassandre and his servant Pierrot. Finally, with the help of a Good Fairy and Pierrot’s sympathetic wife Pierrette, Harlequin’s bad fortunes are turned around, and Cassandre agrees to bless the union. Harlequin and Columbine are married in the festive second act, when love finally triumphs over all. Single tickets for American Ballet

She plans to study biology, linguistics, and Latin and would like to attend Boston College, Duke University, Emory University, Tulane University, University of Richmond, or Villanova University. Lauren is the daughter of Nick and Selena Baydaline; she has one brother, Christian. “Personally, melody of life means the pace at which life flows. Life is an unpredictable symphony,” she said. “Every moment, experience, and memory all flow together to create a melody. There are good parts and bad parts, where the beats may speed up and intensify, but each part of the piece is what makes it unique. Life is a melody, and we are all the composers to our own pieces.” Ashley Symone Hackett is a senior at John Muir High School and lives in Pasadena. She is currently a member of the Black Student Union, Pasadena Panthers Youth Cheer and Dance, John Muir Pep Squad, Secretary of the Associated Student Body, a dance trainer with Los Angeles Country Tiny Tots, activities leader with the VA of Greater Los Angeles, and youth leader at Metropolitan Baptist Church. Ashley enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking with her dad, watching football and basketball, hiking, and swimming. She plans to study human biology and would like to attend University of California, Los Angeles, University of Southern California, or University of Washington. Ashley is the daughter of Alvin and Ramona Hackett; she has two siblings, Jordan and Kennedy. “For me, “The Melody of Life” means that everyone has highs and lows in life, but just like in music both high notes and low notes add value to the piece, just as it would in life,” she said. “Low times in life are often dreaded but to me these times help add value and character to an individual. Without the low times that I have experienced, I would not be able to appreciate the high moments of life that I have been blessed with.” Rucha S. Kadam is a senior at La Cañada High School and lives in La Cañada Flintridge. She is currently a member of the LCHS Varsity soccer team, Assistance League of Flintridge, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Space Academy, 2018 Miss Page 6

Music has the ability to evoke our most raw and powerful emotions. Music can draw out experiences and memories that unify us, despite our differences. Music can have an immense impact on our lives.” Sherry Xiaorui Ma is a senior at San Marino High School and lives in Temple City. She is currently Editor-in-Chief of the San Marino High School Titanian Yearbook, President and Founder of the MakeA-Wish Club, and a Varsity Basketball Manager.

She plans to study communication and media studies and would like to attend Emerson College, Fordham University, New York University, or University of Southern California. Sherry is the daughter of Alex Luk and Kristy Ma; she has one sister, Sally Yang. “Music is a language that is spoken through emotions. Not everyone can understand words, but everyone understands the power of love and kindness,” she said. “We are all connected, just like the music notes that are intermittently connected. Music gives you the power to reach people you know, and even the people you don’t know. The “Melody of Life” is about the musical conversation all around us that expresses what cannot be said. This melody can help humans forget their differences and come together to transform negativity into hope, freedom, and color. This year’s theme has a very deep emotional connection to me because of how passionate I am about artistic expression.” Micaela Sue McElrath is a senior at Westridge School and lives in Pasadena. She is currently an afterschool volunteer tutor with Stars,

My dad introduced me to classic rock while my mom raised me on Mexican love songs. The constant throughout all of this has been my love for Selena Quintanilla. I grew up listening to her music with my family. Selena has served as a role model to me of a strong woman with an influential voice, using her gifts to help others.” Helen Susan Rossi is a senior at Flintridge Preparatory School and lives in La Cañada Flintridge. She is currently a member or the Cooking Club, Diversity Club, Flint Leadership Club, and a Flintridge Prep Senior Leader.

campers to play the recorder,” she said. “Some caught on quickly, and others had to work harder to master the notes, but we all helped each other out. We laughed uproariously at the terrible sounds that first emerged, but eventually they all played a respectable version of “Yankee Doodle.” That truly represents “The Melody of Life” because with perseverance and support we created a melody together.” Louise Deser Siskel is a senior at Sequoyah High School and lives in San Marino. She is currently a member of the Debate Team, and Judicial Committee at Sequoyah High School, YMCA Youth and Government, and researching breast cancer under Dr. Shehla Pervin at Charles R.

She plans to study cellular and molecular biology and would like to attend Johns Hopkins University, The University of Chicago, or Yale University. Louise is the daughter of Charlie Siskel and Abigail Deser; she has one brother, Simon. “For me, “The Melody of Life” is standing at the lab bench at 7am, singing along to show tunes,” she said. “It is classical music when I’m writing and 2000’s hits when I’m nervous. I belt out Cole Porter verses with my grandfather and ABBA anthems with my friends. Music has an astounding capacity to bring people together and has always been an integral part of my favorite traditions and most treasured memories. Music makes the world a more forgiving and more joyful place.” The Announcement and Coronation of the 101th Rose Queen® and Presentation of the 2019 Royal Court is on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at the Pasadena Playhouse; the event is sponsored by Citizens Business Bank.

RESOLVE TO GET MORE SHUT-EYE? HERE ARE 4 SLEEP TIPS TO HELP
As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, millions of people vow to eat better, work out more and lead a healthier life. But something is missing from this equation. While eating well and getting exercise are extremely important, too often people neglect the keystone of good health: sleep. While few people like daily workout routines or kale salad, most everyone loves sleep. And a good night’s sleep loves you, too: It boosts mental and physical well-being. With today’s stressful, highly caffeinated, screen-addicted lifestyles, millions of Americans do not get enough sleep. There are many reasons for this. A look at the 2017 Sleep in Review study by Sleep Number suggests that sleeping habits are highly individualized and need to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. A look at the numbers This year, more than 30 percent of Americans reported they slept worse than in 2016. A big culprit here is television. Nearly half of all respondents said that television often cuts into their sleep. In fact, 24 percent of millennials and 14 percent of all Americans report that binge watching before bed prevents them from getting enough rest.
Nearly 70 percent say worry and responsibility are preventing them from getting the sleep they need. A racing mind keeps many Americans from getting rest, particularly among Gen Xers. Worries about taking care of others - aging parents or young children - can often lead to neglecting yourself. However, putting your own self-care first is often the best way to care for others. Those who sleep well say they have a healthy balance of taking time for themselves and helping others that need them (39 percent versus 26 percent). Of course, if you’re having difficulty sleeping, this might sound easier said than done. How do you get there? How do you achieve that wonderful, restorative eight hours of sleep? There’s not one right way to do this, but according to the survey, there are several habits good sleepers have: * Ditch the device: Forty-six percent of self-described “good sleepers” never or rarely bring a device to bed. * Have a laugh: Those who sleep well are more likely to watch a comedy before going to sleep. * Keep it cool: Forty-five percent say that cooling down the bedroom temperature is the No. 1 thing they do to improve sleep. * Stay tidy: Those who make their
bed every morning are less likely to struggle with sleep. A good night’s sleep can mean the difference between having a wonderful or a horrible day. More and more Americans are realizing this. Over half (54 percent) of those surveyed are making “improving the quality of their sleep” one of their New Year’s resolutions, which is up 30 percentage points from 2014. An individualized path to better sleep In the past five years, millions of people have embraced software and technology that tracks their eating and exercise habits. These small devices give an individualized
report that allows people to monitor their activity and adjust in a way that promotes good habits and health. Similarly, Sleep Number’s SleepIQ technology(R) tracks your sleeping habits, and in the morning, it gives you a personalized report on how you slept, offering insights on how you might improve your sleeping habits. Sleep is so individualized, and there’s no one right way to do it. The more you know about how you’re sleeping, the more you can learn what adjustments you should make to sleep better.

NEARLY A DOZEN BALD EAGLES SPOTTED AT FIRST COUNT OF SEASON
Eleven bald eagles were confirmed by more than 100 citizen scientists during the first winter bald eagle count of the season on the morning of Sat., Dec. 15. It is the 40th year of the annual count that spans five lakes within San Bernardino National Forest and two California State Park recreation areas on four Saturdays throughout the winter. The results from Saturday are as follows: · Big Bear Lake: 3 subadults (26 participants) · Lake Arrowhead: 1 adult and 2 subadults (6 participants) · Lake Hemet: 2 adult bald eagles (28 participants) · Lake Perris State Recreation Area: 2 adults (26 people) · Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area: 1 adult (30+ participants) Several dozen bald eagles typically spend their winter vacations around Southern California’s lakes, adding to a few resident nesting bald eagles that stay year-round. Agency biologists recruit the public to help monitor the local population by conducing simultaneous counts. The count coordinators from the Forest Service and California State Parks would like to thank those participants for their dedication in getting up early and participating in the event. The success of the eagle counts is entirely dependent on the citizen scientists! There are three more bald eagle counts this winter: Jan. 12, Feb. 9 and March 9. No reservations are needed; just show up at a designated location
at the start time with binoculars and a way to keep time. And don’t forget to dress for winter weather! Time and location details are as follows: · Big Bear Lake area participants will meet at 8 a.m. at the Big Bear Discovery Center on North Shore Drive (Hwy 38) for orientation. Contact Robin Eliason (reliason@ fs.fed.us or 909-382-2832) for more information. Please call 909-3822832 for cancellation due to winter weather conditions – an outgoing message will be left by 6:30 am on the morning of the count, if it has to be cancelled. There will also be a free slideshow presentation about bald eagles at 11 a.m. after each count. · Lake Arrowhead/Lake Gregory area participants will meet at 8 a.m. at the Skyforest Work Center on Hwy 18 for orientation. Contact Robin Eliason (reliason@fs.fed.us or 909-382-2832) for more information. Please call 909-382-2832 for cancellation due to winter weather conditions – an outgoing message will be left by 6:30 am on the morning of the count if it has to be cancelled. · Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area participants should plan to meet at the Silverwood Lake’s park office on Cleghorn Rd. (west of Highway 138) at 8 a.m. for orientation. Contact Mark Wright for more information about volunteering or taking an eagle tour (760-389-2303 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.; or email: mark.wright@ parks.ca.gov). · Lake Hemet participants should plan on meeting at the Lake Hemet
Grocery Store at 8:30 a.m. for orientation. · Lake Perris State Recreation Area participants should plan to meet at the Lake Perris Regional Indian Museum at 8 a.m. for orientation. For more information call Lake Perris SRA at 951-940-5600 or the Lake Perris Regional Indian Museum at 951-940-5657.. For eagle viewing any time of the day, there’s a live-feed of the Big Bear bald eagle nest! The nest-cam is provided by the Friends of the Big Bear Valley and can be viewed at the Institute for Wildlife Studies’ website or on YouTube. The webcam monitors a nest on National Forest lands near Big Bear Lake’s north shore. The area around
the nest is closed to all public entry until June 22nd, 2019. The closure encompasses Grout Bay Picnic Area, Grays Peak Trail and surrounding National Forest areas. No entry, including snow play on the edges of the area, is allowed. Bald eagles during nesting season are sensitive to human interference and may abandon nesting activities if feeling threatened. Those who can’t make the counts can still try to see bald eagles around our local lakes this winter. Contact the Big Bear Discovery Center (909382-2790) or the Idyllwild Ranger Station (909-382-2921) for eagle watching tips and etiquette on the San Bernardino National Forest

MOST INTERESTING PART OF YOUR DAILY WORK? “It is very heartwarming when we hear stories from guests who have come to our resort since childhood. We host weddings throughout the year, and to be the place where a couple starts their journey together by saying “I Do” is a big honor. To see happy couples enjoy their day and have amazing photos with our resort as a backdrop is very rewarding. We also find it very interesting to host a variety of corporate events. It is astonishing to see the creativity and culture of various groups and watch the types of events they host. For instance, we had a technology company put together a thermal pad as a project on our beach. Little did they know, they put together the world’s largest thermal pad and Guinness World Records had a representative come and verify the achievement”. H O W M A N Y FA M I LY MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN THE BUSINESS? “There are now three generations involved in managing Newport Dunes. Herb Gelfand started his business in the late 1960’s. I launched Terra Vista Management in 1994 and was joined by my son Jacob in 2015. We developed expertise in managing world-class, waterfront hospitality properties. We are committed to providing family-friendly fun.” W H AT ARE THE UPCOMING PROJECTS FOR YOUR BUSINESS? “This past summer we doubled the size of our inflatable water park, which is now the largest in Southern California. Next summer we plan to offer more movies on the beach, as we are the only location where guests can float in the water or relax on the beach while watching a film.
Lighting of the Bay The County Board of Supervisors approved a sublease between the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and Brighton Management Inc. to build a pair of hotels with up to 275 rooms. Right now, the area where the hotels are proposed is used for dry boat and RV storage. Amenities would include sand volleyball courts, tennis courts, a picnic area and pool.”. W H AT I S T H E B E S T KNOWN QUALITY OF YOUR BUSINESS? “Many people remember us for Moe B the Whale. We have a large, blue whale that adorns our beach next to the children’s’ playground. During the summer season, a floating whale is anchored at our swimming lagoon for kids to climb aboard and jump off.”.” WHAT ARE TOP THREE THINGS PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU OR YOUR BUSINESS? “Newport Dunes is host to the West Coast’s largest inflatable water park. From a gigantic inflated iceberg to super slides and a teeter-totter, both kids and adults can have fun on the inflatables in the water park. We are

FRIENDS OF CASA SET RECORD-BREAKING NET OF $452K AT ANNUAL HOLIDAY LUNCHEON Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Friends of CASA, a fundraising auxiliary of the non profit hosted its 2018 Holiday Luncheon at The Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point which had a record breaking net with more than $452,000 raised. The money will go directly to supporting CASA’s mission of recruiting, training, and supervising community volunteers who mentor and advocate for children in the foster care system The past five years have been record breaking hit for this annual Luncheon and Fashion Show that began as a Holiday Tea - its now in its 23nd year of existence and has brought in over 4 million dollars since 1995. This years luncheon was chaired by Melissa Rohani and Michelle Fisher, who were assisted by a team of over 85 members from the Friends of CASA (FOCASA) auxiliary group, which is led by the newly appointed FOCASA President, Lori Jackson. The halls and decks outside of the ballroom were filled with over 500 guests as they bid on 200 auction packages during the champagne reception. Guests were able to fulfill a foster child’s wish through ornaments placed on the “Starfish Wish Trees”, featuring 202 different wishes from the children in the CASA program which included items like dance classes, summer camp and a laptop computer for a college bound young adult. Everything about this event says “Welcome to the Holidays” so it’s a must do for anyone wanting to start off the holiday season in style and make a difference in our county. For the second year in a row the trees were sponsored and beautifully decorated by Barclay Butera Interiors. The ballroom at the Monarch Beach Resort was beautifully decorated and styled by Elite OC Productions. Tory Burch created an immersive experience, down to the Tory Burch designed table cloths and napkins. This year’s fashion presentation by Tory Burch and South Coast Plaza featured Celebrity Fashion Stylist, Brad Goreski, on stage to help present the collections. Tory Burch showed 20 beautiful looks from the Resort 2019 collection, as well as the Spring/Summer 2019 Tory Sport collection. Guests dined on baby organic greens with caramelized apples, sun dried golden raisin and toasted walnuts in a champagne white truffle vinaigrette dressing. The second course was a delightful ginger and lemongrass glazed chicken breast with warm ginger scented potato salad, citrus julienne vegetables in a star anise jus. The dessert served was a decadent Caramel Illanka bar and blackout brownie with salted caramel sauce, caramel popcorn and fresh raspberries. This year’s keynote speaker was the 2017-2018 Miss Outstanding Teen Arizona, Dimon Sanders. Dimon shared her story of entering the foster care system in June of 2009. “Over the course of my 5 years in the foster care system, I had 2 attorneys, 5 behavioral health specialists, 5 therapists, 5 case managers, attended 5 schools and lived in 13 different foster care placements. That’s a total of 35 people who came in and out of my life. My source of consistency was person number 36, my CASA”. Ms. Sanders proudly shared with the crowd that she was adopted out of the foster care system with the help of her Court Appointed Special Advocate and has since graduated college. An opportunity drawing donated by Lugano Diamonds was a Diamond Bangle featuring 3.69cts Round Brilliant Collection VS Diamonds set in 18K White Gold which values for $20,000, was won by CASA Board of Directors Member, Susan Leibel. Diamond Starfish Sponsors for this event include the Official Jewelry Sponsor, Lugano Diamonds, and Shiva Ommi.

Court Appointed Special Advocates of Orange County is a privatelyfunded non-profit organization that serves severely abused, neglected and abandoned children through the recruitment, training and continued support of volunteers who advocate and mentor these children, representing their best interest in the courtroom and other settings. Founded in 1985, with major support from the Junior League of Orange County, CASA serves approximately 700 of the children who move through the dependency court system due to being victims of abuse and neglect. They are able to serve these children through the generous support of those who donate to CASA as well as the immeasurable compassion and commitment of their CASA advocates. At CASA of Orange County, their mantra is I am for the Child. For more information, please visit www.casaoc.org.

Newport Properties Australian Auction Process Hits US Real Estate Market Have you noticed the number of Auctions going on in Southern California lately? If you didn’t know any better, you might think we are back in 2008. But if you look closer, you’ll realize it’s different; the properties going to Auction are non-distressed. In the last 24 months, Harcourts has managed to create curiosity and excitement about a unique selling process that is empowering both buyer and seller alike. Harcourts, one of the largest real estate franchises in the world with offices in 10 different countries, has been refining residential real estate auctions for nearly 130 years.
“Our process doesn’t replace traditional sales, it simply enhances them by providing owners another option for selling their property,” says Director of Harcourts Auctions Ben Brady. For decades in the USA, the auction process has been associated with foreclosures and distressed properties. During that same period most realtors could only provide one option for helping their clients sell their homes. Our Aussie friends saw this as an opportunity when they brought Harcourts as well as the Harcourts Auction Platform to the USA.
How is it different than other auction platforms in the USA? 1. No buyer premium. 2. Don't have to wait for the auction date to offer on the home. More than 57%, sell prior to the live auction date. 3. Fully disclosed process: all reports, disclosures, inspections, termite report, request for repairs, etc. are done upfront increasing the success of closing to 90% vs. 70% as seen in traditional sales. 4. Fully financeable just like a traditional sale. 5. Attractive process for all buyers, especially owner occupiers. IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS TOTAL PROPERTIES LISTED PROPERTIES SOLD AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET

START THE NEW YEAR THE RIGHT WAY! By Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna New Year’s Eve is a night to have fun and celebrate the coming year says Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna. However, safety is a must when participating in the festivities. Whether you’re staying in and celebrating with friends and family, or you’re traveling to a party or city bash, following a few safety tips will ensure that you’re safe and sound when the clock strikes midnight, ringing in the New Year! • Designate a Driver: If you are going to be driving New Years Eve, don’t drink and drive. If you have a friend who does not prefer to drink, make sure they take the wheel. You might even be on the water this New Years Eve. The person in charge of navigating the boat needs to be cautious, and this still applies to them! It is important to be safe on the water as well, so drink sensibly. • Be Alert: Be aware of your surroundings and how others are acting. Stay away from those who are out of control and might cause harm. Taking preventive measures is key. If someone is really intoxicated, prevent them from trying to drive or leaving with someone they do not
know. It’s important to keep an eye out for each other. • Don’t Drive: If you don’t have to go behind the wheel, avoid it. More people will be driving under the influence on this particular night, so avoid a potentially dangerous accident by staying off the road. Otherwise, be alert and drive defensively. Most importantly, wear your seatbelt! Also, using public transportation is a wise option. If taking a cab is too expensive, crashing at a friend’s place nearby is a convenient solution. • Stick Together: This way we can look out for our friends and family. Going out to parties and nightclubs means a fast-paced, crazy night; so be sure to travel in groups. Having a safety net around you in this environment is imperative. • Monitor your Alcohol Intake: A majority of people will be drinking on New Year’s Eve, and there is nothing wrong with that. Just be sure to pay attention to how much you and others are consuming. Drinking too much alcohol can have lethal affects. Be responsible. • Don’t forget about your pets! They are just as much a part of the family as everyone else. If you are using
Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna fireworks, anything with loud noises, or fire, be sure that pets are kept at a distance as well as children. None of these are a good mix. • Be careful with open flames: If you’re burning candles, incense or oil burners, remember to extinguish them before you turn in or before you leave the room they are burning
in. Pay extra attention to pets and children around open flames. • Plain and simple, No Fireworks! Everyone wants to have an unforgettable night (in a good way!). By simply using some common sense, we can keep it that way. Ring in the New Year safely!
GOOD LUCK FOODS TO SERVE FOR NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS By Shelly McRae New Year celebrations symbolize the setting aside of the past and looking forward to a new year of prosperity and good health. When planning your New Year’s party, invite good fortune into your home with some of these good luck foods and traditions. Southern Traditions Hoppin’ John, a dish made from black-eyed peas and pork fat, is thought to have its origins from the African slaves of the early 1800s. As for its powers to attract good luck, that lies in a civil war legend. Lauren Salkeld, writing for Epicurous. com, explains that during a prolonged battle in Vicksburg, Mississippi food stores were nearly depleted when a large cache of black-eyed peas was discovered. The legume has since been considered a symbol of good luck. Serve the Hoppin’ John with an abundance of greens and cornbread. The greens, preferably collard greens, represent money, or more specifically, folding money, while the cornbread represents coin because it is the color of gold coin. European Traditions Greens aren’t just found in the good Page 16
luck lore of the south. In Germany and Ireland, green cabbage is served with braised pork or corned beef. Legumes also grace the tables of New Year revelers in the European tradition; lentils in particular are paired with pork, as the lentils resemble coin and pork has its own place in the celebrations. Pork as a New Year’s Eve celebratory food has origins from Spain, Portugal and Austria, among other European countries. The traditions include such delicious dishes as roasted suckling pig, roast pork, pork sausages and pigs’ feet. The pig is a good luck symbol for a prosperous New Year because of its habit of rutting forward; it digs in and pushes forward, letting nothing prevent it from reaching its goal. Hispanic Traditions The tradition of eating a grape at each stroke of the clock at midnight on New Year’s Eve originated in Spain, and was a response to a grape surplus in 1909. It was a practical solution and is now associated with foretelling the fortunes of the coming year. The tradition is common throughout Mexico and South America. The idea behind this tradition is
The Newport News
to eat a grape at each chime of the clock, not to be confused with each second of a countdown to midnight. At midnight, in Spain, the clock in the Plaza del Sol chimes 12 times. A chime lasts just long enough to eat a grape- quickly. Each grape represents one month of the coming year. The first grape is indicative of January, then, and
if sour, January may be a difficult month. Along with the tradition of 12 grapes is custom of placing a coin in the pan dulce, a Mexican sweet bread. The baker in the family hides a coin in one of the treats, and the recipient of the coin is said to have good luck throughout the year.

the two teams that will play in the 105th Rose Bowl Game® presented by Northwestern Mutual, Ohio State Buckeyes and the Washington Huskies, and the Royal Court float.
