DIY DECORATING THAT LASTS ALL SEASON LONG
As the holidays roll around, it’s natural to want to spread good tidings and cheer with festive decorations like wreaths, candy canes and Santa Claus figurines. But this year, instead of digging out the same old holiday decorations, why not create some new looks that will last the entire winter season, even after you put away the gift wrap and ornaments? Stimulate the senses Nothing says winter like the fresh smell of pine and the soft, warm glow of candle light. Repurpose simple glass bottles into an outdoorsy candlescape with Krylon Natural Stone Textured Finish spray paint. Available in eight colors, like Olivine, it goes on easy
and gives you the natural beauty of stone and an elegant, professionallooking appearance. Once dry, wrap artificial garland with pinecones around the bottle’s neck or let the garland cascade down the bottle. Place pine tree-scented white taper candles in the bottle openings, light and enjoy for a fresh look and smell that will stimulate your senses well into 2014. Color works wonders Another easy way to excite the senses during a drab, gray winter is with pops of color. For a decorative display that lasts all season, avoid the red and green color combination associated with Christmas and
branch out with more contemporary choices like teals, blues, purples and pinks. Metallics like silver and gold are also a great way to glitz up the season without looking like the North Pole in overdrive. Try Krylon’s ColorMaster Metallic in Gold to spice up old ornaments, vases, frames, centerpieces and more in no time at all. Group spray-painted ornaments or pine cones in a hurricane vase or glass bowl and display on the mantel for added ambiance to any living room. Deck the halls Looking for a way to display the abundance of holiday cards from friends and family? Repurpose an old window shutter to create a unique display. Start by spray painting it with a festive shade, such as green or burgundy, which adds a touch of holiday spirit. Once dry, hang the shutter in the kitchen or entryway and place holiday cards in the slats of the shutter for a creative way to stay organized. Once the holidays have passed, you can still use the shutter to display birthday cards, thank you notes, party invitations and more all year long. Outdoor decor The inside of the home isn’t the only space you can be creative.
Make a lasting statement before houseguests even step inside your home by focusing decorative attention to the outside. Line walkways and driveways with lights or faux miniature pine trees, and place white flameless candlesticks on each windowsill to add a simple touch of holiday spirit without going overboard. Prop a vintage snow sled outside the front door to welcome guests. So, this year instead of the same decorations, consider some fun and easy ways to re-beautify them into pieces that you’ll be proud to display throughout the winter season.

SMALL BITES MAKE HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING EASIER Mouth-watering desserts in small bites are all the rage this holiday season. Guests love the idea of having lots of choices at holiday gatherings, so more options in smaller portions will be popular this year. According to Sissy Biggers, lifestyle expert and former Food Network Ready, Set Cook! host, smaller bites allow you to stage an elaborate holiday soiree more easily. “It’s easy to create a fun, memorable holiday party with simple entertaining techniques that yield big results! Guests will love the variety of smaller treats that pack big flavors and the simple addition of decorative touches effortlessly transform the look of a room in minutes,” she says. Turning your favorite holiday recipes into delightful nibbles is easy, too. Following are some great entertainment tips for making a wider assortment of holiday treats in smaller bites and serving them up in style: * Small bites, big delights - Turn your favorite holiday recipes into delightful nibbles, allowing your guests to sample a larger variety of treats throughout the party. * Elegant, dipped desserts - There’s no need to make everything from scratch. Add some holiday pizzazz to pretzels, fruit, nuts or cookies using
Ghirardelli’s new Premium Dark and White Candy Making & Dipping wafers. Simply melt the wafers in the microwave and dip or drizzle over your favorite treats. It’s a quick way to dress up your holiday treats. * Add a hot chocolate bar - Let your guests get in the act by setting up a make-your-own sundae station or a hot cocoa bar. Stock with chocolate pieces, whipped cream, sprinkles and Ghirardelli’s new Premium Hot Cocoa flavors: Chocolate Caramel, Double Chocolate and Chocolate Mocha. It’s not only fun for your guests, but also easy to prepare. * Decorate with flair - Sprinkle glitter on tabletops and place small glazed pinecones or miniature holiday balls and baubles around the room to add a chic and decorative touch. Artfully arrange food to add interest to buffet tables. Position food on tiers using holiday tins in a variety of heights to create visual interest and maximize often-limited table space. * Be creative with your presentation - Add flare by serving treats in nontraditional ways - a big margarita glass, small shot glasses or baked small bites on clear glass pottery. If you’re looking to try something new this holiday season, consider this delightful dessert recipe.
Ghirardelli Dessert Cups Ingredients: 4 cups Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers 8 small water balloons For mousse: 8 ounces Ghirardelli Classic White Baking Chips 4 tablespoons orange liqueur 2 tablespoons water 1 1/4 cups heavy cream 2 egg whites Directions: In a double boiler over hot water, melt 2 cups of wafers.

JACKIE EVANCHO JOINS PACIFIC SYMPHONY FOR A HOLIDAY TREAT IN ANNUAL CHRISTMAS POPS CONCERT
After becoming a sensation on YouTube, Jackie Evancho, went on to audition for America’s Got Talent, sweeping the competition at only 10 years old and capturing the hearts of millions. This early success propelled her career to what it is today at just age 18. Among her six albums, she has produced two Christmas albums, “Heavenly Christmas” and “Someday at Christmas,” including a performance during the lighting of the National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C. a few years ago and a special Christmas performance back on the America’s Got Talent stage in 2016. However, this holiday season, she will sing merry and bright tunes as she joins Pacific Symphony in their annual Christmas Pops concert on December 14-15 in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall with Symphony favorite AlbertGeorge Schram as guest conductor and featuring Richard Cook on the bagpipes. Jackie will be performing hits from her last Christmas album, the holiday classics you know and love, as well as Broadway tunes from what Evancho calls the “New American Songbook.” This concert is part of Pacific Symphony’s 2018-19 Pops, a series of five concerts that celebrates
“popular music’s most enduring favorites,” sponsored by The Westin, PBS SoCal, and K-Earth 101. Single tickets for “Christmas with Jackie Evancho” begin at $46. For more information or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or visit the website, www.PacificSymphony.org. As an American Crossover singer who sings both opera and pop, Jackie is the youngest solo artist to obtain a platinum status reaching in the top five in the UK and then in the US with her first full-length album, “O Holy Night” that sold a quarter of a million in the first week. Her success of 3 million of gold and platinum albums sold, with all of her seven albums hitting number one on the Billboard Classical chart and being the youngest solo artist to perform in Lincoln Center has led her to appear twice on Billboard’s list of “musicmovers-and-shakers under the age of 21.” The momentum of “O Holy Night” later propelled the success of her first album under Sony Music, “Dream with Me” produced by David Foster. With what started as a child’s a fascination of “Phantom of the Opera,” in addition to her solo music and the duets with Tony Bennett, Plácido Domingo, Barbra Streisand, Chris Botti and Joshua Bell, she has headlined three PBS specials and
Jackie Evancho appeared in the film “The Company We Keep” requested by her co-star Robert Redford in 2013. Evancho is currently working on her newest and eighth album, after releasing her latest album “Two Hearts” a little more than a year ago. While “Two Hearts” merges Jackie’s love of pop hits and classical crossover Italian songs, her new album will feature contemporary
songs from “Hamilton,” “Dear Evan Hansen,” “Waitress,” “Greatest Showman,” “Wicked,” “Rent,” and “Spring Awakening.” While in between touring and recording, Evancho is continuing her education and splitting her time between being immersed in the creative community in New York and be surrounded by her family in Pittsburgh.
5 WAYS TO REVAMP YOUR RUN
Have you ever wished you could just snap your fingers and be able to run a marathon? If only it were that easy. Whether you’re training for a race, want to get in shape or simply enjoy the rhythm of your feet hitting the pavement, running takes consistency and practice. “No matter where you fall on the running spectrum, there’s always room for improvement,” says Rebekah Mayer, National Run Training Manager for Life Time Fitness Page 4
- The Healthy Way of Life Company. “If you’re striving to become a better runner, you might need to make some changes or switch up your routine.” Below are five tips from Mayer to help amp up your run so you can feel great while making each workout count: Ease into your outdoor runs If you’ve been hitting the treadmill all winter and are just beginning to run outdoors, take it slow. Pavement is harder on your knees and joints than
The Newport News
a treadmill belt, and your running form is a little different when you’re outside on the ground. Start by taking some easy workouts outdoors, and then progress into harder workouts. By then, all the trails will be fully clear and your legs will have a chance to adapt. Ditch the background noise Consider leaving your headphones at home. While music is essential to beat boredom on a treadmill, many runners come to enjoy the quiet solitude or group chatter when running outdoors, especially when you run with a friend. Without headphones, it’s also easier to hear traffic, animals or approaching pedestrians. If music is absolutely necessary, try running with only one ear bud in. Make it memorable Take the time to make some of your runs a little more interesting. Is there a trail system a short drive from your home or nearest health club? Even if it doesn’t fit into your daily routine, doing some runs at a more scenic location every so often can make the miles much more enjoyable. Changing up your routine also helps keep your body challenged so you can continue to build strength and endurance. Gather your running buddies Running with friends is one of the best ways to stay motivated. Running
with a buddy on a treadmill is fun as well, but an outdoor running pal or group can help the time and miles pass more quickly. Life Time destinations nationwide host Tuesday Night Social Runs with varying distances and they’re complimentary for members and non-members. There’s nothing like good conversation to keep you entertained during your workout. Running partners can be good pace setters as well and might even suggest some new running routes or trails you’ve never tried before. Dress the part If you run in the dark, choose reflective clothing and a headlamp for safety. On rainy days, add a water resistant jacket and a cap to keep water out of your eyes. This will make the weather more tolerable. If temperatures are cool, choose an outer layer you can easily remove if you get too warm. Life Time is a firm believer that the right pair of shoes can help prevent injury, so make sure you find a pair that works for your running style. Use these tips to make the most of each run or if you’re one of the thousands of Americans who’s currently training for a marathon, check out lifetimerun.com to sign up for a virtual or in-person run training plan. - (BPT)

ENVIRONMENTAL NATURE CENTER PRESENTS WINTER NATURE CAMPS
The Environmental Nature Center (ENC) will present Winter Nature Camps in three sessions: December 17-20, December 26-28 and January 2-4. Full day camp is from 9am to 3pm, and half day camp is from 9AM to 1PM. Nature Adventure Camp is for campers in grades K – 6th and Little Naturalist camp is for campers age 3 – 5. Visit encenter.org for more info about Winter Nature Camps. During Winter Nature Camp, campers will participate in educational, age appropriate hands-on activities. Adventures within the Nature Center will increase their knowledge and appreciation for the natural world. “This Winter Camp marks one full year since the ENC introduced Little Naturalist Camp,” said Sue Bierlich, ENC Nature Preschool Director. “Our Little Naturalist Summer Camp filled up within a few days of opening registration, so we are looking forward to a full Winter Camp. I’m so thankful that parents are just as excited as we are to immerse their children into nature at an early age, when it is most important.” A recent survey found that on average, children now spend only 12.6 minutes a day on outdoor activity compared with 10.4 waking hours being relatively motionless watching
TV or computer screens. Another study found that 50% of preschoolers lacked even one outdoor play session per day. “We are raising a generation of sedentary kids who would rather sit on the couch with a cell phone or game controller than be outside armed only with a stick and their imagination,” said ENC Executive Director Bo Glover. “Spending time outside in nature helps children develop spatial awareness and motor skills. It even helps their vision.”
bout the ENC A 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.

A MOVING PRELUDE TO CHRISTMAS: PACIFIC CHORALE JOINS PACIFIC SYMPHONY FOR “HANDEL’S GLORIOUS MESSIAH”
A beloved holiday tradition, Handel’s celebrated oratorio—with its blazing trumpets, thundering timpani and spectacular “Hallelujah!” chorus—provides a moment during the busy season to experience reflection, renewal and joy. Aweinspiring sounds of praise ring out as Pacific Symphony is joined by Pacific Chorale for the triumphant annual holiday celebration, “Handel’s Glorious Messiah,” celebrating the birth of Christ.

This year Christopher Warren-Green mans the podium to lead the Symphony along with the Chorale and a host of globally
distinguished soloists, including the soprano Klara Ek, countertenor David Trudgen, tenor Nicky Spence and bass-baritone Daniel Okulitch.

SMART WAYS TO CREATE CALM AS YOU RUSH FROM HOLIDAY TO HOLIDAY
Less than a month separates Halloween from Thanksgiving. And, this year, Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are all within a day of each other, and the two multi-day holidays both end on New Year’s Day. With end-of-year celebrations coming one after another, transitioning from holiday to holiday can ratchet up your stress level. If you really want to enjoy the holiday season to the fullest, it’s important to find ways to create calm in the chaos of party preparations, gift shopping, meal planning and other forms of busyness. Here are some tips to remain calm and in control as you move through the hectic pace of the holidays: Have a plan The holidays are busy and stressful enough without adding uncertainty and last-minute challenges into the mix. Plan ahead for holiday celebrations so that you know well in advance what you’ll need to make a memorable gathering. The further ahead you plan, the more time you’ll Page 6
have for preparation, so go ahead and create your Thanksgiving menu while you’re sneaking treats from the kids’ Halloween stash. Start your Christmas shopping list at the same time. Establishing a budget can also help ensure you stay calm during the holidays. Overspending is one of the most stress-causing experiences of the season. Planning how much you’ll spend for gifts, decorations and entertainment can help remove the stress of watching the bills pile up. Relieve stress with renting The amount of clutter you need in your home always seems to increase with the holidays - from Halloween costumes and decorations, to dishes and silverware for meals. Trying to gather everything in time can be stressful, and figuring out where to store it all after the holidays are over can be even more frustrating. Renting holiday-related items can be a hassle-free way to get what you need without the expense of buying, the logistical challenges of borrowing and the headache of storing stuff after the holidays. Local rental stores carry everything you need to move quickly and calmly from holiday to holiday. You can rent Halloween costumes; chafing dishes, silverware, dishes and linens for a big Thanksgiving meal; and decor for Christmas and New Year’s. You can find tables and
The Newport News
chairs, lighting, centerpieces and even portable dance floors for New Year’s parties. Visit www.rentalHQ. com to find an American Rental Association member store in your area, and remember to reserve items early as the holidays are a busy time for rental stores as well. Repurpose recipes Your guest list probably changes from celebration to celebration. The big Halloween party might include friends from the neighborhood or co-workers; Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are for spending time with family; and your annual New Year’s Eve party involves practically everyone you know. Trying to make different dishes and entirely unique menus for every one of those holiday celebrations could drive you crazy. Try repurposing recipes and reusing dishes that are easy to make, impressive to eat and work for you and your budget. For example, the punch you made for Halloween could also be great for New Year’s, especially with a grownup flare. The pumpkin cheesecake that was the perfect ending to your Thanksgiving menu can be just as delicious for New Year’s. Since each event will probably have a different guest list, it won’t look like you’re repeating yourself. Soothe your senses Gaudy store displays, flashing holiday lights, blaring TV and radio
commercials - the sights and sounds of the season can sometimes get to be too much. Soothing your senses can help create calm amid the chaos. While it may not be possible to completely unplug from the sensory overload the holidays can become, certain tactics can help relax you. Try using aromatherapy at home and even in the office to create a scented oasis of serenity. Scented candles, potpourri or room spray in popular holiday aromas like pine, cinnamon, peppermint and vanilla can subliminally create calm. Music is also one of the most enjoyable aspects of the holiday season. If you love holiday music, playing it in the background while you tackle chores like meal prep or gift wrapping can help relax you and put you in a festive mood. Or, if you’re feeling overloaded with holiday music, put on something else that you find soothing - classical music, jazz or hip hop. Whatever works for you is the right background music to help you enjoy the season! - (BPT) -

2019 PAGEANT OF THE MASTERS TICKETS ON SALE NOW
Tickets for the much-anticipated 2019 Pageant of the Masters are on sale now and make the perfect holiday present for art lovers and entertainmentseekers. Share the timeless gift of “living pictures” with tickets to next summer’s production The Time Machine. Tickets are available for purchase online www.foapom.com/time-machine-tickets/ or by calling (800) 487-3378. The 2019 Pageant of the Masters, The Time Machine, will take audiences around the globe and into the past, present, and future in search of great art and amazing stories. Taking its cues from science fiction and steampunk fantasies, The Time Machine will be a ticket to thrills, laughter, beautiful music and extraordinary living art under the stars. Pageant of the Masters producer/director Diane Challis Davy is thrilled with the staging and storytelling possibilities for next summer’s The Time Machine. “I was inspired by H.G. Wells’ novel, and we intend to conjure up a collection of artists who imagined and re-created scenes from the past and future,” she said. “Look at the works of artists like Jean-Leon Gerome and Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema,” Challis Davy continued. “They were both obsessed with re-imagining the glamour and sensuality of history. Their works tell us as much about their era as they reveal the spectacle of the ancient empires they sought to dramatize. We hope The Time Machine will become a mysterious journey through time and space, and art. Of course, there’ll be no shortage of surprises along the way, perhaps a few pop-culture cameo appearances.” The Pageant of the Masters has been a Laguna Beach tradition since the 1930’s and now attracts over 140,000 patrons every summer. In preparation for The Time Machine, Challis Davy is once again summoning her creative energies and inspiring her talented team of theatrical artists as they breathe
life into this one-of-a-kind entertainment. Each night during the summer season, the Pageant presents spectacular stage illusions with original, live music performed by a professional orchestra and informative, engaging live narration under the stars. “At its core, The Time Machine will focus on the ways in which art reveals and reflects the world in which it was created,” said veteran scriptwriter Dan Duling. “When we look at works by artists like Leonardo da Vinci or Johannes Vermeer, they provide us with invaluable clues to better understand life in their times.” As always, Challis Davy and the team of artists and technicians realize the Pageant wouldn’t be possible without the volunteers who return year after year to take part. Challis Davy offered a final, thoughtful observation: “The Pageant has always
been a kind of time machine for us, allowing us to venture to different eras, different corners of the globe, and even to speculate about what the future may hold. Next summer’s Pageant will be unlike any you’ve seen before.” The 2019 Pageant of the Masters, The Time Machine, runs July 7 – August 31, 2019. Advance tickets start at $15 per person and are on sale now. A Pageant ticket is also a season pass to the 2019 Festival of Arts Fine Art Show, which will take place July 5 – August 31, 2019.

Sawdust’s legendary summer festival is a nineweek summer celebration of fine art and craft – the largest in Southern California – with more than 200 Laguna Beach artists who exhibit and sell their original art and handcrafted items. The festival also offers live entertainment, artist demonstrations, hands-on art workshops for all ages, and a variety of food & drink offerings. Sawdust’s Annual Winter Fantasy Festival occurs for five weekends leading up to the holiday season, and boasts an international collection of over 175 artisans who create, showcase, and sell their original, handcrafted artwork on the Sawdust grounds, which are lavishly decorated to resemble a winter wonderland. Special activities include “Winter Art Series” classes, where guests can create holiday-themed works, and a highly anticipated Annual Community Tree Lighting Ceremony.

THINK HOSTING A DINNER PARTY IS DIFFICULT? THINK AGAIN
Some might call the dinner party a lost art, but gathering family and friends around the table to eat great food, drink fantastic wine and enjoy each other’s company is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays. Creating an elegant, effortless evening to remember is easier than one might think. Perfecting the dinner party is about putting people at ease and creating an environment that encourages conversation and laughter - the two most important elements of a successful dinner party. So, instead of trying to impress guests with fancy culinary skills or decorating prowess, focus on five simple tips: 1. LIGHT CAN BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY From glowing centerpieces to sparkling votive candles, elegant party lighting is always a bright idea. Candles set the mood and create ambiance - and allow your guests to truly shine. 2. LET THE WINE FLOW The right wine can perfect the moment and no dinner party would be complete without it. Greet guests
with a bright and beautiful sparkling rose and keep it flowing during the cocktail hour. During dinner, offer one red and one white wine. Santa Margherita Chianti and Pinot Grigio are two delicious options with wide appeal. 3. OF COURSE DESSERT IS A FOOD GROUP! Dessert is the perfect way to end an amazing meal. Leave your guests floating on air with angel food cake topped with a Prosecco-infused frosting. 4. DON’T LET GUESTS LEAVE EMPTY-HANDED Giving guests a little something to take home when they leave extends the good vibes. Say goodnight in a unique way by sending guests home with a bottle of wine or votive candle to re-create the magic in their own home. 5. REMEMBER TO BREATHE If you’re having fun, your guests will too. Take a deep breath and, while you’re at it, give your red wine a little air, too. Aerators open up the aromas and flavors, making every sip better. - (BPT)
WEEKNIGHT MEALS MADE EASY WITH SIMPLE TIPS What’s for dinner? It’s a question most of us ask every day. With evening routines packed full of extracurricular activities, chores and preparation for the following day, we don’t always have as much time as we’d like to make dinner. Fortunately, a quick, delicious and healthy meal can still be an option for your family, even when you’re short on time. All it takes is a little planning, some common ingredients and one trip to the grocery store. Here are five dinners to take you through an entire work week: Monday Start the week by putting your slow cooker to work for you. Slice off the tops of four to six bell peppers, but don’t throw them out. Remove the seeds and stuff each pepper with a combination of lean ground turkey or chicken sausage, grated cauliflower, carrots, onion and garlic, plus fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Put the pepper tops back on, arrange the peppers securely in a slow cooker, pour a large can of low-sodium chopped tomatoes over them and cook on low for eight hours. Dinner will be ready when you walk in the door. Tuesday Soup can be a quick way to have dinner on the table in minutes - and it allows you to use up vegetables that may be near the end of their shelf life. Try a Broccoli Cheese Soup (recipe follows), a classic favorite that the whole family will enjoy. There’s minimal
pre-cooking required - simply steam the broccoli, measure the remaining ingredients, put them in your Vitamix Professional Series 500 blender and start the Hot Soup program. When the program completes, pour into bowls and garnish with extra steamed broccoli florets and bit of grated cheese. For a heartier meal, chop and add grilled chicken chunks. Serve with crusty bread and a salad for a complete dinner. Wednesday Whole-wheat pasta with basil walnut pesto is a crowd pleaser. Take fresh basil, Parmesan cheese and walnuts and puree with garlic, olive oil and lemon juice in your Vitamix for a quick and easy sauce. If there are stuffed pepper leftovers, chop and heat for a tasty pasta topping. Make a large batch of pesto and you can use the leftover portion later in the week. Thursday Throw together a chicken stir-fry for another quick weeknight meal. Chop up your favorite vegetables, including extra cauliflower, onions and carrots from Monday’s stuffed peppers and broccoli from Tuesday’s soup. Saute the vegetables with cooked, cubed chicken and a mix of soy and teriyaki sauces. Serve over rice and offer a spicy chili sauce for those who like it hot. Friday You’ve made it through the week. Why not treat your family to pizza? Top a ready-made, whole-wheat
pizza crust with your leftover pesto sauce, cheese and any toppings you’d like. Add peppers, mushrooms and vegetables you chopped for the soup and stir-fry to create a veggie delight. Follow the cooking instructions on the pizza crust package, and you’ll be ready to kick off your weekend in no time. With a bit of planning, you can shop once and have your dinners set for the week. Buy canned or frozen fruits and vegetables in bulk and try to prepare at least two meals using the same ingredients. Even with hectic schedules, families can prepare and sit down to a satisfying meal every night of the week. Broccoli cheese soup
Yields two cups. Ingredients: 1 cup (240 ml) milk, skim or low fat 1⁄3 cup (40 g) shredded, low fat cheddar cheese| 1 cup (100 g) chopped fresh or frozen broccoli or cauliflower florets, steamed 1 teaspoon diced onion 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1⁄4 teaspoon chicken or vegetable bouillon or soup base Directions: Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid. Select Hot Soup program. Press Start. Allow machine to complete programmed cycle. - (BPT)

INAUGURAL “CHEF MASTERS” RAISES OVER $100,000 FOR ALZHEIMER’S FAMILY CENTER The beautiful ocean-front Paséa Hotel & Spa in Huntington Beach was the setting for the inaugural “Chef Masters,” benefiting Alzheimer’s Family Center (AFC), for 375 guests. Over looking the ocean with breathtaking views of the sunset, the culinary extravaganza offered guests a sumptuous 90-minute gourmet food and wine reception on the hotel’s terrace featuring 31 top Orange County chefs and restaurants and an offering of upscale California wines. Following the tasting, guests entered the ballroom to enjoy a decadent dessert, presented by Venue Host Executive Chef Kevin Meyer at Paséa Resort. AFC CEO Joanna Richardson-Jones welcomed everyone and thanked them for their support. She, in particular, thanked Hoag Hospital for its 40 years of support. Hoag’s partnership with AFC 40 years ago provided the 20,000 sq.ft. dementia-specific center in Huntington Beach, which is the only day care program in Orange County devoted exclusively to treating people with dementia. “Hoag’s passion made it possible,” Richardson-Jones said of Hoag. AFC Board President Mary Lou Shattuck introduced Gwen Parry, M.D., who serves on the AFC board and has been instrumental in AFC’s success. He is director of Hoag’s Community Benefit Program. Chef Masters Founder and Producer Kristin Martin introduced Honorary Executive Chef Chair Pascal Olhats, and Venue Host Executive Chef Kevin Meyer as culinary leaders of the inaugural fundraiser. She also recognized Title Sponsor Mona Lee Nesseth, who supported AFC because of the guidance she received from Richardson-Jones for her mother, who suffers from dementia. “My mother would not be alive if it weren’t for Joanna and AFC’s guidance,” Nesseth says. “They have also been a tremendous help to me as her caregiver.” Attendees had the opportunity to bid on some tempting live auction items, including a Montana escape in a luxury log home and a stay locally in a villa at The Resort at Pelican Hill and a chef’s dinner at the Coliseum Pool & Grill. A chance to help Alzheimer’s Family Center in a special Fund-A-Need brought more support. The raffle for the 57-bottle superb wine offering was won by a very happy couple, John and Teresa O’Neill of Coto de Caza. The top-notch entertainment was provided by The Johnny Holiday Show with the Dean Mora Orchestra. Major underwriters who attended were Julia Argyros, president of the Argyros Family Foundation and philanthropist Sue Gross. The effort netted more than $100,000 for AFC programs. The participating Chefs/Restaurants were: HONORARY EXECUTIVE CHEF CHAIR Pascal Olhats (Newport Beach); VENUE HOST EXECUTIVE CHEF Kevin Meyer, Tanners Pasea Hotel & Spa (Huntington Beach); Adam Navidi, Oceans & Earth & Future Foods Farm (Yorba Linda); Amy Cripps & Christine Ferrian, OC Local Honey (Costa Mesa); Cody Storts, Wreckless Restaurant (Fullerton); Craig Brady, Haven Gastropub (Orange); David Shofner, Fable & Spirit (Newport Beach); Diego Bernal, Coliseum Pool & Grill, Resort at Pelican Hill (Newport Coast); Eric Mickle, Orange Hill Restaurant (Orange); Greg Daniels, Harley’s Laguna Beach (Laguna Beach); Jessica Roy, Current Coastal Cuisine, Renaissance Hotel NB (Newport Beach); John Vega, Silvas Bar & Grill (Santa Ana); Jorge Valines, Bluegold/ LSXO (Huntington Beach); Keith Prante, Haute Productions (Laguna Hills); Linda Johnsen, Filomena’s Italian Kitchen & Market (Costa Mesa); Lindsay SmithRosales & Kimmy Wilson, Nirvana Grille (Laguna Beach); Manfred Lassahn, Watertable, Hyatt Huntington Beach (Huntington Beach); Michael Doctulero, Mah Jong’s (TBA); Noe Moreno, True Food Kitchen (Newport Beach); Paolo Buffa, Irvine Spectrum Marriott (Irvine); Philip Tangonan, Cannery Seafood of the Pacific (Newport Beach); Rachel Haggstrom, Waterline, A + O Kitchen & Bar, Balboa Bay Resort (Newport Beach); Ron Fougeray, Splashes, Surf & Sand Resort (Laguna Beach); Samantha Meyers, Sugared & Iced (Irvine); Scott Raczek, 90 Pacifica at Doubletree Irvine & Meritage Kitchen & Bar (Irvine); Ugo Allesina, Prego Ristoranti (Tustin); Yvon Goetz & Jim Fritz, The Winery Restaurant & Wine Bar (Newport Beach); and Zach Geerson, Journeyman’s Food + Drink (Fullerton).

Vacations are keeping Americans busy this season. But, with all that fun, make sure you don’t overlook caring for your car and tires. If you do, the only thing you’ll be doing is standing in the breakdown lane. Americans will travel 1,045 miles on average to reach their destinations, according to the recent Hankook Tire Quarterly Gauge Index. -Before leaving for a trip, however, only 48 percent of Americans check their vehicle’s tires for proper tread depth or tire damage. Drivers should monitor their tire pressure and tread and look for tire damage such as bruises, tears or punctures at least once a month. In addition to checking your tires, make sure you have your spare tire ready to go. These days, most people aren’t considering this to be a top priority - only 21 percent think a spare tire is the most necessary item for travel safety. In fact, 52 percent of Americans consider their cellphone to be the most important safety item. While you’re checking the pressure and condition of your vehicle’s tires that are actually touching the ground, don’t forget to check your spare tire. The last thing you want to encounter when you have a blowout is a flat or underinflated spare.

TIPS FOR SAFE VACATION TRAVEL
And where do people turn when in a bind with car troubles? Thirty-three percent of American drivers said they would call AAA first before calling a sibling, friend, parent or colleague. We all want to do our best to avoid possible issues on the road, so here are some safety tips from Hankook Tire America to keep in mind: Park in the shade - Air in your vehicle’s tires expands as temperatures rise, in fact for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit increase in ambient air temperature, your tire’s inflation pressure can go up by about 1 psi. Check fluid levels - Make sure the check includes topping off window washer, brake and transmission fluids and motor oil. Rotate your tires - Tire rotation is another important safety precaution and is recommended every 7,000 miles or six months. Rotating tires is the practice of moving automobile tires from one position on the car to another to provide optimal wear. Check brakes and brake pads/ shoes - Be sure to monitor them closely, especially if you can’t remember how long it has been since they were last checked. Don’t overload your car Overloading a car can lead to tire
deformation, so be sure to check the vehicle’s owner’s manual for the recommended maximum weight capacity. Check your trunk - It is important to make sure you have the tools you need to change a flat: a spare tire, a lug wrench and a jack.
Choose the right tire - Tires that offer lower rolling resistance, such as the Ultra-High Performance AllSeason Hankook Ventus S1 noble2, can deliver fuel savings by minimizing wasted energy as a tire rolls, thereby improving fuel efficiency and saving consumers money. - (BPT)
CLEANING UP STORM DAMAGED TREES High winds put tremendous pressure on trees growing near houses or power lines. With winter storms passing through the area, you may see damage to your landscape, including broken tree trunks and branches all over your (or your neighbor’s) property. “Storm cleanup is often when many property owners crank up their first chain saw,” notes Tchukki Andersen, Board Certified Master Arborist, Certified Treecare Safety Professional and staff arborist for the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA). “And, not surprisingly, they hurt themselves. Untrained property owners often attempt to remove large broken tree limbs from their property. Many of these accounts end unfavorably, often with serious injuries or even death. For homeowners thinking of handling post-storm work themselves, here’s a primer on safe tree and brush removal: First, if a utility line is down: Do not approach. Assume any downed line is energized. Call the utility company immediately. Avoid touching anything near the downed line and make sure nobody goes near the line. Contact with energized lines can result in electrocution. Be aware that downed power lines can be hidden in brush and foliage. Play it safe; call a tree Page 16
care professional. Second, when deciding whether to try removing a tree or large branch yourself: Consider the size and location of the tree. If the work requires you to leave the ground or if the tree is more than 20 feet tall, call a tree care professional. Do not attempt any tree work from a ladder! Examine the shape and lean of the tree. Inspect the trunk for decay, weak spots, hanging limbs, and for any metal or concrete in or around the tree. If any of these features are present, the tree is unstable and extra precautions need to be taken before removing the tree. Carefully inspect the tree and the surrounding area for anything – utility lines, structures, vehicles, shrubs – that might interfere with the removal of tree pieces. Note other people in the area, particularly children. You don’t want anyone to wander near the drop zone. Even small trees bent under tension can be extremely hazardous. Do not cut wood that is under tension (one or both ends are trapped under something). Ask yourself, “What will happen when I cut this branch/tree?” Consider all the possibilities. Plan an escape route from the falling tree or tree part before cutting. Do not use a chain saw for tree removal unless you have years of

experience. Even tree care pros face risk of injury using chain saws. Tree and branch removals are very unpredictable. Don’t take unnecessary chances! If you have any doubts, bring in your local tree care professional to handle the post-storm cleanup. Third, consider hiring a tree care professional: For safe and efficient post-storm work, hire a tree care professional with the experience, expertise and equipment to safely take down or prune damaged trees. Additionally, tree care pros should carry liability insurance. Also look for tree care professionals that are members of the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), a public and professional resource on
trees and arboriculture since 1938. It has more than 2,000 member companies who recognize stringent safety and performance standards and who are required to carry liability insurance. TCIA also has the nation’s only Accreditation program that helps consumers find tree care companies that have been inspected and accredited based on: adherence to industry standards for quality and safety; maintenance of trained, professional staff; and dedication to ethics and quality in business practices. An easy way to find a tree care service professional in your area is to use the “Locate Your Local TCIA Member Companies” program. You can use this service by calling 1-800733-2622 or by doing a ZIP code search at www.treecaretips.org.

W FAMILY FEATURES
hile the kitchen is often the busiest room in the house, it is also one of the most important rooms when it comes to renovations. An upgraded, vibrant kitchen that incorporates elements of personal style can make the room more attrac tive while increasing the home’s overall value. An easy way to give your kitchen an instant upgrade is by adding color in places that complement the decor of the room. Elements such as cabinetry, sinks and appliances are good places to start the facelift process while also adding more functionality.
Consider cabinets
Not only can new cabinets provide the benefit of more storage space, they also present an opportunity to incorporate some colorful style into the kitchen. Make your splash with vibrant color on the cabinets themselves, or pair softer hues with muted contrasts to create an eyepleasing backdrop for bold color appliances and vibrant accents and accessories. If you opt for a more traditional finish such as cherry, black, walnut, white or maple, you can still add visual interest to your kitchen design by contrasting the upper and lower cabinetry or creating a standout island in a different tone. Simply updating the hardware with a colorful twist can be an inexpensive alternative for adding color as well.
Think about sinks
Once overlooked as an option for introducing style in the kitchen, today’s kitchen sinks accommodate a wide range of designs and preferences. Both function and aesthetics – including unexpected, vibrant color – are important when replacing your sink. An option such as the Elkay Quartz Luxe collection comes in six bold colors and three mount styles with a variety of bowl options and addon accessories. The collection combines the highestquality quartz with a high performance, UVstable acrylic resin for a durable sink that is easy to maintain, faderesistant, vibrant in color and stain and odorresistant. For added convenience, Elkay’s unique quartz finishing process delivers a satinsmooth, nonporous surface that prevents foods, liquids and bacteria from sticking to it. Because natural quartz is four times harder than granite, it has the ability to resist scratches, smudges, heavy impact and heat up to 535 F, making it both a practical and attractive option. Explore a variety of models that can help make your renovation complete at elkay.com/quartz.
Add stylish appliances
A complete set of matching appliances makes for a modern and inviting ap pearance. Popular finish options include smudge-proof stainless steel, chrome, black or white, but if you’re really looking to brighten the room, some lines are available in colors such as red, blue, orange or green. Although the visual impact is important, remember to keep practical considerations in mind and look for the features – such as sidebyside versus drawered refrigerators, for example – that work best for your space and lifestyle.
FIND YOUR IDEAL SINK A successful kitchen renovation captures every element of the space – including the kitchen sink. Select the right type, features and material to suit your family’s needs with four easy steps from the experts at Elkay: 1. Choose your sink material and color. Color, texture and sheen all provide ways for you to express your style. Stainless steel, copper, fine fireclay and colored quartz all offer unique benefits and aesthetics.
2. Choose your sink type. Whether top mount with a finished rim, undermount to create a seamless appearance, universal mount which can be installed either above or below your countertop or an exposed apron front mount that extends out slightly further than the cabinet below it, your new sink needs to be in sync with your chosen countertop material. Whether or not you plan to replace your countertops will also affect your options.
3. Choose your sink features. Select the number of bowls based on how you work. Single bowls can accommodate larger cooking sheets while double bowls allow for a quick wash/rinse sequence. Depth is an important consideration, too.
4. Choose your sink size and accessories. The size of your new sink is dependent upon the size of the cabinet it is installed in. Sinkbase cabinets can be created specially to fit an installed sink. Also, look for accessories that work with your sink to save space and add convenience in the kitchen. Options include cutting boards, rinsing baskets, colanders, bottom grids and drains, among others.
