Swing & Splash Summer Camp Returns to Newport Beach Tennis Club Popular Swimming and Tennis Combination Exciting to Orange County Youngsters
In the spring of 2005, newly hired junior tennis director Craig Johnson had a vision. The Newport Beach Tennis Club was going to be the home of one the most popular and well attended camps in all of Orange County. After all it had 19 courts, a large pool with a snack bar, and was nestled in the beautiful residential neighborhood on the bluffs in Newport Beach. Another contributor to his vision was that although the Newport Beach Tennis Club is a private facility, children of non-member families could participate in any of the Grip n Rip junior programs. “It was an amazing opportunity” said director Craig Johnson. “To have a facility as beautiful as this that is open to all children was a match made in heaven”. With the swinging of a tennis racquet and the splashing in a pool the name Swing & Splash was coined. Grip n Rip Co-director and camp administrator John-Michael Chamakoon will be assisting Johnson once again this summer for the 12th time. “Every year about this time the excitement level rises seeing the
early registrations come in” says Chamakoon. “We know that every one of those students who enrolls will be treated to an amazing week of camp and will leave with a newfound skill and life-long memories”. Johnson, who grew up on the courts of the Jack Kramer Tennis Club in Rolling Hills Estates along with the likes of Pete Sampras and Tracy Austin, knows firsthand the joy of spending summer days with friends at a tennis club. “I would love to be able to give children the same opportunity to learn a sport as I had. It would be so inspirational for me if this camp launched the same passion for the game in another child as it did for me”. The majority of the kids that do enroll in the Swing & Splash camp are ages 5-12. This is the age when children are so impressionable. “If the camp can inspire them early than we’ve done our job”, says Johnson. “Tennis has to be fun initially to get them hooked”. The Swing & Splash camp runs for 10 weeks Monday-Thursday beginning June 19th. Students have

Time Change for spring 2017 is this weekend By Mary Zeiher When does the time change for Spring 2017? That time change question seems to be something that a lot of people are asking themselves. For this year, 2017, the time change will occur on Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. And remember for the time change 2017 this spring you will “spring forward”, or move your clocks ahead one hour. It is easy to remember which way to move your clocks if you follow the old adage of, in the spring you “Spring forward” and in the fall you “Fall back”. Remember that the way this whole time change thing is setup is as follows: At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March each year, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time (“Spring forward”). Then at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November each year we “Fall back” and we set our clocks back one hour and this returns us to Standard Time. Daylight Saving Time was actually put in place during World War I in the United States as a way to save energy for the war production. By changing the time it made for longer days between April and October.
Then again during World War II the government required the states to perform the instituted time change. But then after the wars the states were free to choose whether or not they wanted to institute the Daylight Savings time or not. But by 1966, Congress got involved and passed the Uniform Time Act, which then dictated the length of Daylight Saving Time. These longer days do mean that we use less energy as a country in lighting our homes and businesses. In 2005, Congress came along again and passed the Energy Policy Act. That started that starting in 2007 that Daylight Saving Time would be four weeks longer. The thought process was that we would be able to save approximately 10,000 barrels of oil each day through reducing power requirements of businesses. But that is a very difficult metric to verify and to know if we are seeing the savings that was projected. So, when does the time change for spring 2017? Just remember that on Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time you will set your clocks back one hour.

Senator Bates Seeks Entries for State Capitol Art Contest Winning Submissions to be Displayed at State Capitol
Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) is seeking local entries for the California State Senate art collection, which features local artwork from every region of California. Artists from the 36th Senate District can submit as many works as they like, and Senator Bates will select the entry that best represents her district, which covers South Orange and North San Diego Counties. The winning entry will be displayed at the Capitol from May 2017 to September 2018. “ T h e S e n a t e ’s a r t p r o g r a m celebrates the creativity and diversity of our state, and I look forward to contributing a piece from an artist based either in San Diego or Orange Counties,” said Bates. “Entries can include oil paintings, works on paper, weavings, wall hangings and sculpture, but they must be no larger than three feet by five feet. This is a good opportunity for an artist to have their work displayed at the State Capitol, which is visited by tens of thousands of visitors each year.” The California State Senate art show competition is open to all ages. The selected submission
will be treated with care and safely returned to the artist at the end of the exhibit. The artist must agree to loan their art to the exhibit for approximately 18 months. The Senate Rules Committee will pay for shipping costs to and from the exhibit (but not packing materials). Artists who wish to enter the contest should send a .jpeg image of the artwork submission by e-mail, with a brief description of the entry. Artists should also send a brief description of themselves and why they feel their artwork best represents the 36th Senate District. Entries must be received by March 30, 2017, as that will give Bates enough time to review each entry, notify the winner and have the winner ship the art to the State Capitol by May 5, 2017 (the Senate’s deadline to receive artwork for display). Images of all submissions should be e-mailed to either Erik.Weigand@ sen.ca.gov (Orange County entries) or Christopher.Marsh@sen.ca.gov (San Diego County entries). Please put “California State Senate Art Show Submission” in the subject line.

Orange County Fire Authority Urges You to Change Your Batteries When You Change Your Clocks Sunday, march 12th 2017 As we change our clocks forward this weekend, now is the time to check your smoke alarms and change the batteries. According to the Orange County Fire Authority, this is the best time to check your smoke alarm and change their batteries! Nationally, approximately 75% of failed smoke alarms are due to missing batteries. “A recent fire in Santa Ana resulted in the death of a woman and serious injury to her husband” said OCFA Fire Marshal Laura Blaul. “There were no smoke alarms in their home, which is typical in almost every home fire resulting in serious injury or death. A smoke alarm is essential in providing you the extra time you need to safely get out of your home. Make sure you have one in every sleeping area; Make sure your family is safe”. We are asking the community to join the OCFA in efforts to reduce risks, the OCFA has developed a program called “Install, Inspect, Protect.” Key components include: Install: Install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, inside each sleeping area, and in every hallway leading to sleeping areas. Replace Page 4
the entire unit every 10 years. Inspect: Test your hard-wired and battery operated smoke alarms every month. Change the batteries twice a year, when changing your clocks for both battery operated and hard wired smoke alarms. Clean your smoke alarms every year. Protect: Plan a home escape plan and ensure that everyone in the
The Newport News
household knows the sound the alarm makes and what to do if they hear it. Identify two ways out of each room and designate a meeting place outside the home to account for family members in the event of an emergency. Practice your home fire drills every six months and remember to crawl lo under the smoke & go.
Call 911 immediately and ensure that everyone knows your Home Escape Plan. This weekend change your clocks and change your smoke alarm batteries too. You could be saving the lives of yourself and others. For more valuable information, please visit “Install, Inspect Protect” at www.ocfa.org.

The Accountancy offices of Kim Coyle, Certified Public Accountant is ready to assist you with any tax matter. Dear Client; As the new year begins, it’s a good time to think of planning strategies that will help lowering your taxes for 2017. My goal is for you to leverage your tax deductions and credit to the fullest extent. I want to briefly discuss five different strategies that can be powerful tools in lowering your tax bill. And the really great part is that each of these strategies is easy to understand and implement. Here are the strategies: Here are the five strategies 1. Estimated Taxes In most cases, you must pay estimated taxes for 2016 if both of the following apply. a) You expect to owe at least $1,000 in tax for 2016, after subtracting your withholding and refundable credits. b) You expect your withholding and refundable credits to be less than the smaller of: 90% of the tax to be shown on your 2016 tax return, or 100% of the tax shown on your 2013 tax returns;Note: Your above percentages may be different if you are a farmer, fisherman or higher income taxpayer. Strategy note: The purpose of making estimated tax payments is to avoid underpayment and late payment penalties and interest. The 2016 estimates taxes must take into consideration the following: New 4.6% tax for the high earners, New 0.9% Medicare tax;c) New 3.8% NIIT explained above. preparation of quarterly financial statements is desirable in calculating accurate estimated taxes. 2.Defer/ or Accelerate Income Most small businesses utilize cash basis of accounting for their taxes, may defer their 2016 billing and collection efforts to 2017, if they believe to have less income or predict the tax rates will be lower next year, and their conduct doesn’t violate any laws. Conversely, if they believe they will have more income next year or they will be in higher tax bracket next year, they may accelerate their billing and increase their current year income. Strategy note: If you believe the incoming Trump Administration will cut the tax rates, you may defer your income to 2017. For employees and executives, this means deferring 2016 bonuses to 2017.Taxpayers who believe they will be in a higher tax bracket next year, they may defer current deductions into 2017. On the other hand, they may accelerate their business deductions, medical expenses, 4th quarter State estimated taxes, property taxes, etc., after consulting their cpa or qualified tax advisor to avoid any AMT trap, and their conduct is not illegal.Tax Tip: If you believe the incoming Trump Administration will cut the tax rates, you may accelerate 2016 expenses. 3.Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) The 2016 AMT exemption increases to $83,800 for married filing jointly (MFJ), $53,800 for single filers, $41,900 for married filing separately, and $24,100 for trusts. Strategy note: Consult your CPA or professional tax advisor to avoid Alternative Minimum Tax trap. 4. Report of Bank & Financial Accounts (FBAR), Bank Secrecy Act Network (FinCen Form 114) must be e-filed If you have a financial interest in, or signature authority or other authority over a foreign financial account, including a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund, trust, or other type of foreign financial account with aggregate value exceeding $10,000, the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requires you e-file the FBAR report with the US Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen) form 114 (formerly TD F 90-22.1) by no later than April 15, 2017. The new deadline is under the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015 and there will be a 6-month extension available for the first time.Strategy note: Include earnings from FBAR accounts in your 2016 estimated taxes. 5.Individual Retirement Account (IRA) Traditional tax deductible IRA contribution for 2016 is $5,500, and $6,500 for taxpayers 50 years or older. Contribution for a taxpayer married to one who is covered by a retirement plan at work, is phased out between Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $184,000 and $194,000.Strategy note: Contribution must be made on or before April 18, 2017. Please do not hesitate contact me if you want to discuss in greater depth any of the strategies outlined above.

Nutrient-rich ingredients, simple prep are keys to easy, healthy family meal times With summer in the rearview mirror, many Americans will now be pressed for time: Fall (when kids go back to school) and winter (dominated by the holidays) are jam-packed seasons. It may be difficult to find time for everything you need to do, including eating regular meals together as a family. Research shows that sitting down for family meals yields many benefits, from serving as a time to bond, to instilling healthy dining habits in children. Yet multiple studies also show that only about a third of families actually eat dinner together on a regular basis. Americans commonly cite busy schedules as the biggest hurdle for eating together as a family. “Regularly sitting down to dine with their parents is incredibly healthful for kids, both mentally and physically,” says registered dietitian Lyssie Lakatos. “It’s well worth the effort to ensure your family can share regular, well-balanced meals together. And you can do it! You just need some creativity, planning and powerfully nutritious ingredients.” Lakatos offers some tips to help parents honor the healthful tradition of family meal time: * Invest 15 minutes every weekend to plan the week’s dinner menus in advance. Knowing what you’ll be making ensures you won’t have the stress of coming up with ideas at the last minute when everyone is hungry; you’ll also be able to shop efficiently for ingredients you know you’ll need. Plus, kids will enjoy looking forward to the evening when you’ll serve their favorite foods. You can also make the process easy by using an online menu planner. * Simplicity is a time-saver. Dinner
might not be the best time to take risks and prepare something no one has tried before. A simple meal takes less time to prepare, and may also be more enticing to kids. Choose simple, nutritious meals that incorporate the key components of the USDA MyPlate. * Choose lean, versatile and delicious proteins - like eggs, lentils or fish - that are nutrient-rich. Eggland’s Best eggs come from hens fed an all-vegetarian diet of healthy grains, canola oil and a supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and vitamin E, an antioxidant. They contain three times more vitamin B12, two times more omega-3s, five times more vitamin D, 38 percent more lutein and 25 percent less saturated fat than ordinary eggs. * Get everyone involved. Family meal time is an opportunity to teach kids good nutrition, culinary skills and life lessons, all while bonding in a relaxed atmosphere. Involve children in meal preparation by assigning them age-appropriate tasks such as setting the table, pouring drinks, gathering ingredients and even cooking. * Disconnect from tech 30 minutes to an hour before the meal. Many families have a no-device policy at the dinner table, but by putting down technology in advance you free up everyone to help out. You’ll also ensure no one is late to the table because they have to send one last text - this means you too, parents! “The importance of family meals just can’t be understated,” Lakatos says. “There’s even a month in honor of the family meal - September is National Family Meal Month, sponsored by the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) Foundation. It’s a great
time to get back to having regular family meals together.” Here are two easy, delicious and nutritious family meal recipes that take less than 30 minutes to prepare, courtesy of Eggland’s Best: Chicken Parmesan Cupcakes All kids love cupcakes and they love cheese, so this marries the two, plus the nutrition of Eggland’s Best eggs-what could be better? Ingredients: Chicken Mixture 1 Eggland’s Best Egg (large) 1 pound ground chicken 3 tablespoons Italian-flavored bread crumbs 2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic 1/2 teaspoon onion salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Coating 1 Eggland’s Best Egg (large), lightly beaten 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup Italian-flavored bread crumbs Topping 1/2 cup marinara pasta sauce 4 (3/4-ounce) slices Land O Lakes 4 Cheese Italian Blend, cut into quarters Directions: Heat oven to 350 Fahrenheit degrees. Lightly spray eight muffin pan cups with no-stick cooking spray; set aside. Combine all chicken mixture ingredients in bowl; mix well. Shape into eight meatballs. Place flour, bread crumbs and egg into separate shallow dishes. Lightly roll each meatball in flour, then beaten egg, then bread crumbs. Pat each meatball into bottom of each prepared muffin cup, flattening
top. Bake 15 minutes. Top each meatball with 1 tablespoon marinara sauce and two quarters cheese. Bake 3-5 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and center is no longer pink. Cool 1-2 minutes in pan. Serve warm and enjoy! Pizza Frittata Ingredients: 4 Eggland’s Best eggs, large 3 large Idaho potatoes, peeled 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 sun dried tomatoes, packed in oil, thinly sliced 1/2 cup sliced black olives 2 tablespoons pesto 4 ounces turkey pepperoni 4 ounces shredded provolone cheese Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel potatoes and slice thin using a knife or mandolin slicer. Arrange potatoes on a 12-inch pizza pan (or in a baking dish) and drizzle with olive oil. Bake potatoes for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk eggs, tomatoes, olives and pesto in a large bowl. Remove potatoes from oven and pour egg mixture over pan. Top with cheese and pepperoni and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

MOMS OC Celebrates 25 Years Serving 45,000 local families
The Newport News
Dottie Andrews, MOMS Orange County CEO Pamela Pimentel and MOMS Orange County is celebrating its 25th anniversary of serving founding MOMS Orange County Board Member Beverly Jacobs low-income, pregnant women and their families in Orange County this year. The nonprofit hosted a celebratory donor event and announced the commissioning of a retrospective look at the state of maternal and infant healthcare for vulnerable families in Orange County, comparing the late 1980s and early 1990s with conditions today. The event was buzzing with nearly 100 attendees at The Estate on Second in Santa Ana. Community members, supporters and healthcare experts gathered in support of MOMS Orange County to celebrate the significant work the organization has completed over the past two-plus decades. During the event, wine, beer and cocktails were served as well as a variety of small bites including braised pork and spring rolls and other items. Dessert was served on the second floor with coffee and tea and included miniature cakes and other desserts. Dottie Andrews, who founded the organization, noted that 45,000 Orange County families have been served since the organization’s start. “MOMS Orange County was created in response to the health crisis in the late 1980’s, Allyson Brooks, MD, Chief Quality Officer at Hoag Hospital and Allyson and we are proud to have made a great impact in serving our community’s Sonenshine, founder of Orange County Women’s Health Project mothers and fathers—and even the next generation,” she said. “On this milestone anniversary, we recognize the community members and healthcare workers who came together at a pivotal time to increase access to health for the women in our community.” Theresa Figueroa, who along with her husband Jorge, participated in MOMS’ home visitation program and group classes, shared how the experience increased their confidence and abilities as new parents. “MOMS Orange County taught us how to be better parents, how to find resources in our community, how to track our child’s development, how to identify developmental delays, how to socialize with other parents, how to get down on my baby’s level and play, sing, dance, be present and give the quality time that all children deserve,” she said. “My husband and I knew that our parenting journey was not going to be easy and typical, but we left MOMS much stronger, more mature and with the tools to educate and advocate for our son. Having MOMS walk with us on this journey made it so much easier.” In celebration of its anniversary, MOMS Orange County announced the Founding Board of Directors Member Beverly Jacobs, former board commissioning of the retrospective analysis, and said findings are scheduled members Marta Prietto O’Hara, Dennis Buchanan, MD, and MOMS to be revealed at MOMS Orange County’s Healthy Beginnings, Bright Futures Luncheon at Paradise Pier Hotel in Anaheim, California on May Orange County Founder Dottie Andrews 11, 2017. MOMS Orange County formed 25 years ago, in response to a crisis in access to prenatal healthcare for low-income, at-risk women. They launched its core programs of monthly in-home visitation during pregnancy and through the baby’s first birthday, and group classes on childbirth preparation, prenatal education, breastfeeding, gestational diabetes prevention and education and Mommy & Me, Workshop for New Dads, and Mommy, Daddy & Me classes. Today, MOMS Orange County’s model of Maternal-Child Health Coordination serves more than 3,600 low-income families annually, directly influencing improvements in birth outcomes, maternal health, and developmental indicators among infants within a highly-disadvantaged population. Mothers receive one-on-one education and support during pregnancy to help increase their chance of delivering a healthy baby. After babies are born, the focus turns to promoting their healthy growth and development so they grow up happy, healthy and ready to learn.

10-minute healthy habits for 2017
Burning, Tingling, Numbness or Pain? Don’t Suffer Any Longer!
Proven Medical Neuropathy Treatment with an 87% Success Rate Available in Newport Beach Healthy living is an admirable goal no matter what time of year. The problem is that many people shoot for the stars, resolving to lose a big amount of weight or completely give up foods they adore. A better approach is to make small changes that together can make a big impact. “People who make smart yet simple lifestyle changes will find it’s easier to succeed,” says Dr. Margot Savoy, a practicing family physician in Wilmington, Delaware. “It’s about all the small victories that add up to winning the war. If you want to feel your best and make changes that will last, think small for big results.” Healthy habits take mere minutes a day to complete, but over time can overhaul your health and wellness. What’s more, she notes that when you do these easy activities for two or three months, they become automatic. Dr. Savoy suggests five simple steps for healthier living in 2017 that take 10 minutes or less to complete. Be informed Stomach pains? Sore knees? Not sure if it’s the cold or the flu? Being healthy means staying informed. When you need more information about your health, visit a reputable website such as familydoctor.org to learn more with a few clicks of the mouse. Developed by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the website features easy-tounderstand information geared toward the patient. Plus, all information is reviewed by a panel of board certified family physicians, so you can trust the content is updated and accurate. Snack well Eating well is all about balance, and while many Americans are striving to eat healthier at mealtime, it’s snacks that are sabotaging their diets. When hunger pangs strike, instead of junk, reach for nutrient-rich foods instead. One of the best ways to do this is to select one drawer in the refrigerator and dedicate it to foods for healthy snacking. Stock it with fruit, veggies, whole grain crackers and low-fat cheese and nuts. Spend 10 minutes each Sunday cutting vegetables and portioning out nuts and other snacks,
and all week long you and your family can easily reach for healthier munchies. Move and groove You don’t need a fancy gym membership to get fit. Just block off 10-minute increments each day to work out and you’ll start to feel the difference. Try walking, biking or doing sets of squats, crunches and jumping jacks. Within minutes you’ll raise your heart rate and work those muscles. If you have kids, join in the fun with them and you’ll be surprised just how quickly you get in a quick workout. A game of tag, for example, is a great running exercise. Plus it’s a wonderful way to bond with your family. Bonus: Your kids are learning to exercise through play. Not sure how to get started? Familydoctor.org has you covered. Hydration Everyone knows soda is unhealthy, but for other drinks it’s not so obvious. Many fruit juices and sports drinks are packed with sugar and calories. Hydration is important, so drink as much water as possible to boost your health. Staying properly hydrated is essential to healthy living, and because the body is approximately half made of water, there’s no better drink than good old H2O. If that is too bland, add some healthy flavor with cut fruit, such as oranges, apples, kiwi or strawberries. Sun protection The sun gives off rays of light that are helpful and harmful. Some sun exposure is good because it helps the body create vitamin D, which absorbs calcium. Too much sun exposure, though, can lead to skin changes, a lowered immune system and cancer. It takes just a minute to slather on sunscreen to block harmful rays even in the winter months. Focus on the face which is exposed all year long, and during warm months or while vacationing, make sure to use sunscreen on the entire body, reapplying regularly. What’s more, teach children to do the same to create healthy habits that will last a lifetime. - (BPT)

B EETHO V EN ’ S C APTI VATING THIRD PIANO C ON C ERTO S HINE S IN THE HAND S OF PIANI S T Z HANG Z UO
Two young, highly accomplished Asian artists give new dimension to a stimulating program that fuses East and West sensibilities. The imaginative and electrifying performer, Chinese pianist Zhang Zuo, makes her Pacific Symphony debut performing Beethoven’s transcendent Third Piano Concerto in this concert led by Singapore’s preeminent conductor, Darrell Ang. The concert opens with the mesmerizing “Folk Songs for Orchestra” by Chinese-American composer Huang Ruo, while Elgar’s intriguing “Enigma Variations” provides a memorable closure to the program. The concert takes place Thursday through Saturday, March 23-25, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Image magnification on the big screen throughout the evening offers a closer look at Zuo’s intricate handwork, Ang’s skill on the podium, and the Symphony musicians in all their glory. A preview talk with Alan Chapman begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25-$125 (Box Circle, $195). Also, a Piano Masterclass led by Zuo takes place Wednesday, March 22, 7-9 p.m., in the Samueli Theater. Essentially an advanced piano lesson shared with an audience, this multigenerational masterclass offers a high school student, a college student and an adult pianist the opportunity to refine and develop their musicianship by working with a master teacher. Tickets are $10 and advanced ticket reservation is encouraged. For more information or to purchase tickets to the concert and/ or masterclass, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. For Pacific Symphony’s concert, Zuo performs Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto, a work that sent the composer veering off onto a new path in concerto writing. The music has an unusual depth of emotion and drama. This was Beethoven’s first piano concerto in a minor key (C minor), and it shifts direction from its predecessors in that there is less attention to formal elegance and decorative ornamentation of line, and more emphasis on sheer expressiveness. The interaction between soloist and orchestra is also more intricate than in previous concertos, the dynamics have more contrast and the emotions are more turbulent. The overall impression is deeply passionate. Rounding out the Symphony’s program is a work by Chinese composer Huang Ruo, “Folk Songs for Orchestra.” Ruo has been lauded by The New Yorker as “one of the world’s leading young composers” and by The New York Times for having Page 14
“a distinctive style.” His vibrant and inventive musical voice draws equal inspiration from Chinese ancient and folk music, Western avant-garde, experimental, noise, natural and processed sound, rock and jazz. As a member of the new generation of Chinese composers, Ruo’s goal is not to just mix both Western and Eastern elements, but also to create a seamless, organic integration. But if the sound is new, the spirit in Huang’s “Folk Song Suite” is also ancient and universal, demonstrating a sense of narrative that has inhered in songs from every culture and time. Pianist Zuo began her musical training in Germany at age 5. Upon returning to her native China, she became one of the most soughtafter young artists in the nation, collaborating with leading Chinese orchestras. Having completed her piano studies at the Shenzhen Arts School, Zuo was invited to continue her artistic development at the Eastman School of Music and at The Juilliard School, where she won the coveted Petschek Piano Award. She has also received firstprize at China’s First International Piano Concerto Competition, the Gina Bachauer International Artists Piano Competition in America and the Krainev International Piano Competition in Ukraine; plus, was a prizewinner at the 2013 Queen Elizabeth Competition. She performs internationally. Ang’s triumph at the 50th Besançon International Young Conductor’s Competition, where he took all three top awards—Grand Prize, Audience Prize and Orchestra Prize—launched his international career, leading to the music directorship of the Orchestre Symphonique de Bretagne and guest conducting engagements around the globe. Three years later, Ang was selected to join the prestigious International Conductors’ Academy of the Allianz Cultural Foundation and was invited to take on residencies with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra. Ang became the youngest associate conductor of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and served as the music director of the Singapore National Youth Orchestra. In 2010, he led the World Youth Olympic Games Orchestra in an internationally televised opening ceremony of the World Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. Pacific Symphony’s Classical Series is made possible by the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation, and receives additional support from The Westin South Coast Plaza, KUSC and PBS SoCal.

Watches, rings and pendants go high-tech, combining beauty with technology Jewelry has signified the bonds between people since the ancient Egyptians created the wedding band. But the digital revolution is quickly converting jewelry from a symbol of connection to wireless ways to stay connected. Rings, watches, pendants - even cufflinks - have been transformed into miniature electronic devices that keep us in touch with people, including ourselves. This merger of fashion and function is catching on fast with consumers. According to Gartner Inc., an information technology and research advisory firm, purchases of wearable smart devices will increase 16 percent in 2016, with smartwatch sales alone predicted to rise a whopping 66 percent. The wearable device trend took off a decade ago, primarily for fitness. The Nike+iPod fitness tracker was the forerunner for a flood of new products embedded with tiny sensors that report the wearer’s workout progress. Functions, aesthetics determine price Today, nearly all the major tech companies compete in the smartwatch market, including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Motorola and Samsung. Meanwhile, some traditional watchmakers - such as Tag Heuer - have developed their own
high-tech timepieces. Top designers are also collaborating with high-tech developers to create smart rings, bracelets, necklaces and other fine and fashion jewelry. FitBit, for instance, offers a line of fitness trackers conceived by Tory Burch, a well-known women’s wear designer. The technology is embedded in embossed metallic pendants and bracelets. Protect smart investments Since smart jewelry could be a major jewelry investment - second only, perhaps, to an engagement ring - it’s important to adequately protect it with insurance. Most homeowners insurance policies cover jewelry to some extent. In many cases, however, your coverage may be limited. Plus, a jewelry claim could affect the status of your entire policy. That’s why it’s important to evaluate your insurance options. Typical warranties and protection plans won’t reimburse you if your smart jewelry disappears under mysterious circumstances - meaning you’re not sure whether it was lost or stolen. The best jewelry insurers, such as Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, a leader in jewelry insurance since 1913, will cover loss in such circumstances. They will also repair or replace the item through
the jeweler or manufacturer of your choice and a loss. If you’re someone who appreciates socially responsible companies, there’s another reason to look up Jewelers Mutual. This summer, the company is making news by offering $2 million in donations to nonprofits that fight hunger, provide affordable housing and deliver medical research and exceptional care to kids battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. As part of its “Band Together” campaign, Jewelers Mutual is inviting consumers to select which cause receives the largest share of its unprecedented philanthropic gift.
For everyone who casts votes at JewelersMutual.com/BandTogether from July 11-31, this campaign offers more than the chance to help their favorite nonprofits. Every individual who answers the call to “Band Together” online will be eligible to win a set of three stacking bands from Stacked New York. Three exquisite sets will be given away during the campaign. While, the bands are not the kind equipped with smart technology, they are a smart fashion choice and symbolize the timeless bonds that connect people to something bigger than themselves. - (BPT)
Ta ki n g t he stress ou t of a job tr an s fe r m o v e A job transfer usually is a good thing. Hopefully the transfer signals a promotion as you take your career a step further up the ladder, bringing about new and fun challenges in the workplace. But the transition itself is often not easy, especially if it involves moving your home and family to a new location. Businesses often give transferred employees less than two weeks (11 days) to accept a transfer offer and once accepted, an average of 33 days to move and report to the new job, according to Worldwide ERC, a professional association for workforce mobility. That isn’t much time to find a new home, put the old home up for sale or subleasing and plan a move that could be across town, across state lines or across the country. Resources are available to help ease the stress of your job transfer. They include: * Your company - Before you accept the job transfer offer, check with your human resources department on what services or financial compensation your company offers. Many companies outsource relocation services or cover selected services like providing rental moving trucks for employees. Be aware that the average cost of shipping household goods for a domestic transfer was around $12,459 in 2012, according to Worldwide ERC. * Truck rental - Much of the moving process involves the transfer of Page 16
your household goods. Truck rental companies like Penske help to make this process much easier. For example, Penske, which is a member of Worldwide ERC, has a dedicated customer service and sales team within its existing call center to serve the specialized needs of employee relocations. The company also added services like moving labor to help customers load and unload the rental trucks, new self-storage options for movers and customized billing options for each of these services to make the corporate transfer much smoother. “Time, cost and ease of use are of the essence with an employee relocation move,” says Don Mikes, senior vice president of rental for Penske. “We have a solid solution to make the process easy ranging from rental trucks, towing equipment and moving supplies to services beyond the truck such as self-storage and moving labor.” * House hunting - Searching for a new home could be the most stressful part of relocating. Many employees will opt for temporary housing like apartments or extended-stay hotels for the first couple months of the transfer. This allows them to get a feel for the community and take the time to review homes for sale. However, if you prefer to purchase a home right way, contact the human resources department at your new location to ask for real estate agents

referrals. Also take your search online. Between MLS listings with photos and online mapping tools, you can narrow your search quickly to preferred homes, allowing you to make an appointment once with your real estate agent to tour the homes and hopefully make an offer. * House selling - On the other end of the spectrum, you also have a home to sell. Many homeowners are opting to hire a management company and rent out the home, with the intent to sell in the future once they have their life organized in the new location and have the time to list the home with
a real estate agent. Management companies handle the review of rental applicants, the background checks, collect the rent and take care of any emergency maintenance concerns that might occur, allowing the homeowner to concentrate his energies on the new job. The job transfer process may feel overwhelming, but with these resources available to assist you with the transfer, you’ll find yourself quickly settling into the new office and digging into the challenges of the new job. - (BPT)
