First Ms. America Who Became Pageant’s CEO has Dressed Up Competition into an Institution

By Christopher Randall Photos by Daniel Pham and Ken Herczeg Although she no longer carries the title of Ms. America, Jeske --- at 54, still a blue-eyed, raven-haired beauty with a sparkly personality --- was the first Ms. America when she won the title in 1997 in Las Vegas.

And ever since 1999, when Jeske purchased the pageant and became its chief executive officer, she has grown the Ms. America Pageant into an institution that attracts highachieving women from all walks of life to vie for the title and put it to philanthropic use.

“I like being in a position where I’m able to help people,” Jeske says of the Ms. America Pageant, which she views as a way to empower women who are 26 years of age and up single, divorced, married and widowed across the nation. They all have a cause or platform they believe in and with their State title, she sends them out into the world to do good using their crown.

Jeske’s greatest thrill from the Ms. America Pageant is when the emails, text messages and Facebook postings start flowing in from her titleholders describing the excitement they felt when they were able to accomplish something for their cause or platform that they never dreamed they could accomplish such as speaking in front of State Legislatures or U.S. Congress Members to promote changing laws, being invited to high profile events such as the Oscars, appearing in parades and even meeting the President of the United States.

In recent years, Jeske, whose pageant titles, philanthropic work and record-setting singing prowess (more on that in a moment) have produced enough newspaper and magazines clippings to fill several thick binders, has been keeping a relatively low profile.

“I’ve been putting my queens ahead of me,” she explains. “Ms. America and the State queens should be in the spotlight. I want to give them the opportunity to shine.”

At the recent Ms. America Pageant at the Curtis Theatre in Brea, Oksana Vovk, an attorney, bested 42 other contestants to win the 2017 Ms. America title before a sold-out crowd of 200 and over 9000 people viewing LIVE streaming on AlertTheGlobe. com including Oksana’s family in the Ukraine.

The pageant has come a long way since Jeske purchased it and was able, in 2000, to secure a registered federal trademark from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, D.C. In the early years, there were as few as five contestants who competed around the pool area of the condominium complex where Jeske lived.

Jeske came to California from her hometown of Littleton, Colorado in 1984 with $500 in her pocket and facing monthly rent of $400. She Page 4

worked whatever jobs she could to make things work as she pursued her dream to win pageants and help others around the world --- a passion that began in high school when a friend suggested she enter a local beauty competition.

Since then, Susan’s has held various positions, including being the first spokesperson for Hyundai Motor America and other Fortune 500 companies. She was hired to launch a natural and organic skin care line for Nikken Corporation called “True Elements”, created a gift basket company for the holidays, and was in the top 2% of Mary Kay Cosmetic distributors. She was also on many soap operas such as Days of our Lives, Young and the Restless, Santa Barbara, and the Bold and the Beautiful playing a reoccurring part of a neighbor, secretary or nurse.

Now with the growth of the Ms. America Pageant, she’s taking on the CEO role full time. The Ms. America Pageant, as Jeske is fond of saying, has “taken on a life of its own.” The competition pays for itself.

Whatever monies that is brought in is used to produce the show, pay for the prizes and awards for the contestants. “I noticed when I had a title, people would take me seriously,” Jeske says. “It would open doors to volunteering.”

Jeske’s title of Ms. America took her all over the world meeting important people such as Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, U.S. Presidents and many famous celebrities. During her reign, her platform was “Students Against Violence” and she created an assembly program she presented in schools across the country. For this she received more than 30 awards, 17 Keys to the City, and Proclamations for her presentation. In 2004, Jeske received the Lifetime Achievement Award from President W. Bush for her contributions to charity and volunteerism.

Oh, and about that singing.

In 1992, Jeske made the “Guinness World Records” for singing the National Anthem at the most events (17) in a 24-hour

2017 Ms. America International Nova Kopp, 2017 Ms. America Oksana Vovk, CEO Susan Jeske, and Ms. America International 2017 went to Tracy Lynn Rodgers. period, raising $93,000 for children different as her focus is on further charities. In the span of a day, she growing the Ms. America Pageant traveled 373 miles by limousine, and inspiring women and helping eight miles by helicopter, three miles them to open doors they never by a boat and a motorcycle to get conceived of being opened before through crowds and be on time to and accomplish greater charitable the events scheduled throughout work then they had previously Orange and Los Angeles Counties. thought possible.

That achievement launched a singing “I want them to use their title to go career that led to Jeske performing out and help people, like I did,” she at more than 1,500 events before says. “It really does work. And when audiences that included seven U.S. you give to other people, it also gives Presidents and numerous heads of back to you.” state.

Driving with dogs : Tips to keep everyone in the car safe It’s only natural for man’s best friend to stay close by his master’s side, but for dog owners who drive frequently, bringing Fido along for the ride can be risky. The problem is particularly worrisome for older drivers; a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham showed that for people 70 years and older, crash rates were higher among those who frequently drove with pets in the car.

But for many drivers, leaving precious pets behind isn’t an option. The best compromise is to find solutions that will get you from point A to point B without compromising the safety of human or animal passengers.

Distracted driving is a growing concern and a loose pet in the car certainly numbers among the potential hazards that can take your eyes - and mind - off the road and lead to accidents. While older drivers might not be as likely to be distracted by texting or smartphone surfing, even those who have spent many years navigating the roads need to honestly assess how having a pet in the car can divert their attention away from the road.

To stay safe on the road when Fido is with you, remember these tips: * Don’t allow pets in the front seats. Having a pet sit on your lap is obviously distracting, but if he’s in the front passenger seat, the problem can be just as bad. In the front seats, your pet is more likely to be within your line of sight and obstruct your view of the road. An unrestrained dog in the front seats could also be easily injured if

you have to slam on the brakes or swerve, or are hit from behind. The force with which airbags deploy also poses a safety hazard for dogs in the front seat - if you’re in an accident and they inflate and hit your dog, he could easily sustain an injury. * Create separation. There are a variety of pet barriers on the market that can keep your pet from moving between the front and back seats of your car. Installing a barrier will help keep your pet out of your way and diminish concerns about him being propelled forward in case you have to make a sudden stop. * Restrain your pet. There are a number of options for pet restraints in your vehicle. Pet seatbelts and car seats will help keep a dog safely in place. Keeping a crate in the car is also a good option. Make sure it’s secured and large enough so that he can stand up, turn around and comfortably sit or lay down. Add a soft pad in the bottom of the crate and it might just become your pet’s favorite

new way to travel. * Brush up on your driving skills.

Today’s driving environment is probably very different than it was when you first got your license. A refresher course, like those offered

by AARP Driver Safety, is an ideal way to ensure that your skills are up to date. Brushing up on defensive driving techniques and the essential rules of the road will help keep everyone in your car safe - and you may even qualify for a multi-year automobile insurance discount from your insurance company (check with your agent for details). AARP Driver Safety courses are available in a classroom or online setting, in both English and Spanish.

Pets are important members of the family, so it’s only right that drivers consider their safety, just as they would for any other passenger. For more safe driving tips and information about AARP Driver Safety, visit www. aarp.org/drive.

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Santa Ana Zoo’s 2016 Zoofari raises over $160,000 for local zoo

The Newport News

Tom Clark with Honorees Howard and Karin Hall and Ed Arnold Photos by Ann Chatillon The Friends of Santa Ana Zoo (FOSAZ), a non-profit organization, hosted the 24th annual Zoofari fundraising black-tie gala for almost 300 guests with a theme “Year of the Monkey”. Zoofari takes place at one of the most inspiring venues in Orange County, outside and under the stars on the grounds of the Santa Ana Zoo. Guests enjoyed a first-class dining experience catered by Parties by Panache with a hosted bar including a special drink the “Rickshaw Ricky” in honor of longtime supporter of the Santa Ana Zoo Richard Bye who passed away early this year – the special drink was made with Tito’s Handmade vodka, Lychee syrup and Cranberry juice.

Celebrating the theme “Year of the Monkey” the Santa Ana Zoo was outfitted with some the best Asian themed decorations of gold, black and vibrant red throughout event site provided by R.W.B. Party Rentals. The handmade lantern “monkeys” were especially unique as they each were handmade by longtime supporter and board member Rip Ribble, “For more than 20 years, Zoofari has played an integral role in raising the funds needed for all the special projects and improvements going on here at our favorite community Zoo including educational programs, breaking ground on new animal habitats, tackling important conservation initiatives, introducing new rides and upgrading service facilities for our guests to use and enjoy,” says Cathi Decker, event host and Executive Director of FOSAZ. Guests began the night being greeted by various animals and their docent Cathi Decker and Sandy Segerstrom Daniels “handlers”. An Armadillo, Blue Tongue Skink, Spectacled Owl and a French Rooster were just some of the animals that welcomed everyone as they entered the Santa Ana Zoo. Guests were also privy to tour the Zoo grounds and see the area where the new Giant River Otters will be housed and of course the 50 monkeys the Santa Ana Zoo is famous for.

Former KTLA sports anchor Ed Arnold and co-owner of South Coast Plaza Sandy Segerstrom Daniels were the Masters of Ceremonies for the evening with brother and sister duo Glen Fladeboe and Kristine Fladeboe Duininck as auctioneers for the live auction.

Honorees this year were FOSAZ Board Members Howard and Karin Hall who have been instrumental to the Friends of the Santa Ana Zoo since 1992.

They have put together Eagle Scout projects that have changed the face of the Zoo, participated on the Board in many activities and during special events and helped bring the largest revenue generators to the Zoo in the form of the rides.

The event raised over $160,000 which included $29,000 from the live auction where funds will be going towards the Pygmy Marmoset exhibit as during the program, it was announced the exhibit needed refurbishing as these “finger monkeys” are difficult to see by Zoo guests. Now construction will be underway for a “2-way” mirror so guests can see them better and make life more comfortable for the monkeys.

The Year of the Monkey “Good Fortune” live auction items up for grabs were an Apple iPad Pro with an iPad Pro Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil Karen and Rip Ribble donated by FOSAZ Board Member and the evening’s honoree Howard Bill Lobell and Patricia Mickey Hall; a 4th of July party for 12 with all the trimmings by Parties by Panache; eight days in beautiful Cabo San Lucas at the Villa del Palmar with a gift card for $800 for airfare donated by FOSAZ Board Member Curtis Farrell; a powder blue Michael Kors Harper Tote (donated by FOSAZ Board Member Patty McClendon) stuffed with 100 California Scratchers (donated by Board Member Rip Ribble) and close to $1,000 in cash donated by the FOSAZ Board, Advisory Board Members and FOSAZ staff; McClendon also donated her Cathedral City condo for 8 days which included a Westin Mission Hills Golf package; four private tours of the Santa Ana Zoo with Zoo Director Kent Yamaguchi (which includes lunch) were sold and the largest and most sought after item was the 30 minute flight for 2 in the Goodyear Blimp as this is one of the final flights it will be taking. Jane Olin, FOSAZ Board Member and Tim Jerkovich were the lucky winners of the Blimp flight!

After the program, guests danced until midnight to the dynamic tunes of NeOn NaTiOn. Established in 1952, the Santa Ana Zoo is Orange County’s only AZA accredited Zoo and is recognized as signifying excellence and commitment to animal care and conservation. It is also home to more than 150 animals, including 50 of the most interesting and engaging monkeys and several endangered species.

3 Original Dog Biscuit Cookie Treat Recipes Your Dog Will Love

October 14, 2016

“I’m walking and enjoying my life again and it’s because of the wonderful team at Neurogenx.”

- Felicia W.

BURNING, TINGLING, PAIN OR NUMBNESS? Don’t Suffer Any Longer!

By Slate Stone Natural Ingredients and Made with Love Treat Your Dog Today.

You love your dog. Your dog loves dog treats. Why not whip up a batch of dog treats you can make as easily as a simple cookie recipe? Here are 3 tasty dog biscuit recipes sure to get your furry pal or pup happy and tail wagging and wanting to kiss you as he begs for more. It’s nice to be in control of the ingredients and food your dog eats, and what better way to get to his heart and stomach.

These recipes are easy and real dog pleasers.

Beefy Bark Bites Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1/2 cup powdered milk 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon wheat germ 2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules 1/4 cup softened margarine 1/4 cup bacon bits (you can use the jar kind sold in the grocery aisle where they sell salad dressings) 1 egg 1/2 cup ice water 2 tablespoons cold milk Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, powdered milk, wheat germ, and beef bouillon granules. Then stir in egg and softened margarine.

Then stir in bacon bits. Then, a little at a time, stir in first the cold ice water and then the cold milk, so the dough becomes sticky. You can then drop the dough by the tablespoon full on an ungreased baking sheet to make dog cookies, or else if you prefer to make cute shapes, you can roll the dough out on a lightly floured board and use a simple shaped cookie cutter to make cookie shapes. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees, then remove from oven and let cool before serving to your dog. You can wrap the cookies in plastic food storage bags and refrigerate until ready to use.

Yum Yum Butter Bones Ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 cup unsalted natural peanut

butter 3/4 cup milk 1/4 cup applesauce (unsweetened, natural) 1 teaspoon honey Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder and milk. Stir in natural peanut butter, applesauce and honey. Blend thoroughly, so that ingredients are evenly distributed throughout. With hands, knead the dough until it forms into one big ball.

Then wash and dry your hands and grease a couple of cookie sheets.

Take the dough and roll into little balls and flatten between your hands and drop onto the cookie sheets spaced about an inch or so apart. Bake for 25 minutes in oven until firm or lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool before serving. You can wrap the cookies in plastic food storage bags and refrigerate until ready to use.

Hammy Whammy Treats Ingredients: 1cup wheat germ 1 jar (2.5 ounces) of strained Ham baby food (you can substitute strained beef baby food if you like) 1/2 teaspoon of beef bouillon granules 1 tablespoon grated mild cheddar cheese 2 teaspoons milk Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In mixing bowl, combine wheat germ, baby food, bouillon granules, and milk. Roll into dough with hands and then work in cheese. Lightly grease cookie sheet. Roll dough into small balls about 1 inch in size and gently pat with hands and place on cookie sheet. You can lightly press the cookies with a cold fork to make a criss cross pattern, the way you would press peanut butter cookies. Bake for approximately 20 minutes and remove from oven and cool before serving.

You can wrap the cookies in plastic food storage bags and refrigerate until ready to use.

The greatest thing is seeing patients finally have resolution of their chronic pain symptoms, leading to a more productive life and higher quality of time spent with their friends and family members.”

We can help you!

This treatment is for people who: • Have neuropathy due to diabetes or chemotherapy • Are uncertain of their diagnosis • Want a 2nd opinion • Have been told nothing else can be done • Are tired of taking medications that aren’t working • Are afraid their neuropathy is getting worse

ment without success – but now with Neurogenx, their results and testimonials are amazing. Patients are sleeping better, have increased their activity and have been able to reduce their medications.”

What PATIENTS Say About NEUROGENX “Within 1 week of treatment I could get out of my wheelchair to my walker by myself, something I haven’t been able to do for years. I am also sleeping like there is no tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what the future treatments bring.”

-Richard K. “Diabetic neuropathy had made my toes feel like the skin was sanded off. But during my third treatment, the miracle happened!

The muscles in my legs started tensing, flexing and moving - they came back to life. When I walked across the rug, I could actually feel the fibers for the first time in years. The Lyrica I had been taking only masked the problem and had some pretty nasty side effects. I’m now Lyrica-free and saving almost $300/month in drug costs. There is hope! Miracles do happen.”

H o w t o m a k e w o r kin g a t h o m e w o r k

Working at home is a growing popular trend. The 2010 U.S. Census reports 9.5 percent of the population spends at least one day a week working at home - an increase of more than 2 percent since 1997.

Technology is making it easier for employees and self-employed workers to set up a home office and conduct business.

When deciding to set up an office at home, one challenge many workers face is determining what computer to use - or purchase. Apple and Windowsbased PCs are the two staples, and everyone has a preference on which system they prefer. Sometimes it’s the user interface of one over the other that’s preferred, and in other cases, how chosen programs perform on each platform determines what type of computer workers purchase. And often, workers just want to seamlessly blend in with the office environment, and purchase the same system for home.

With Parallels Desktop for Mac, the difficulty of choosing between the two platforms is obsolete. This software enables users to run all operating systems like Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OS X, Google Chrome OS and more on a Mac without rebooting. This allows an at-home employee to easily switch between the system provided on work

computers and the home computer, even if they’re running different operating systems.

This allows at-home workers several benefits: * If you have a Mac and a PC, then Parallels Desktop software can simply move your entire PC onto you Mac so you have everything on one computer. If you don’t have a PC, its wizard lets you simply add Windows and other operating systems to your Mac so you can do everything on one computer. * Save money because there is no need to repurchase software you already own. All of the PC applications you invested in can simply be moved to your Mac and run in Windows via Parallels Desktop. * Run both Windows and Mac systems at the same time, allowing you to work in a Mac program while using a Windows platform. * Copy and paste between documents running in both operating systems easily - which is not possible if you must reboot your Mac to change between OS X and Windows applications.

Another challenge working-from home employees face is taking the business on the road. Those who are self-employed often don’t have the luxury of bringing business into the home office, and have to make the

office mobile. This requires updating technology so email, documents and files can all be accessed from either a smartphone or tablet.

Another option is to access your computer remotely, allowing you to do everything you’d be doing at home while away. Parallels Mobile for iPad and iPhone lets you remotely access and run all of your Mac and Windows files and applications when you’re on the go.

One final challenge is being able to handle the business errands without having to leave the office - or home.

Banking, setting up conference calls or ordering supplies can all be done electronically using websites and

downloadable apps. This technology allows a home-worker to make business deposits, connect with clients and have supplies delivered to the door - without having to leave.

Seamless connection is key to working at home, because any interruption in getting technology to work is lost time, and potentially lost business. Apps, using the same computer programs you’ve always used through Parallels Desktop for Mac and mobile devices will help any at home worker to keep all connections with the office and clients going strong. Mac users can download a free trial of the software at www.parallels.com/desktop. - (BPT)

Tax-filing Extension Expires Oct. 17 for Millions of Taxpayers; Check Eligibility for Overlooked Tax Benefits

The Internal Revenue Service today urged taxpayers whose taxfiling extension runs out on Oct. 17 to double check their returns for oftenoverlooked tax benefits and then file their returns electronically using IRS e-file or the Free File system.

Fewer than a third of the 13 million taxpayers who requested an automatic six-month extension this year have yet to file. Although Oct. 17 is the last day for most people, some still have more time, including members of the military and others serving in combat zone localities who typically have until at least 180 days after they leave the combat zone to both file returns and pay any taxes due.

In addition, taxpayers in several disaster area localities who already had valid extensions now have more time to file. Currently, taxpayers in parts of Florida, Louisiana and West Virginia qualify for this relief. For details, see the disaster relief page on IRS.gov. However, like other extension filers, these taxpayers were required to pay what they owe

by April 18.

The IRS continues to monitor the impact of Hurricane Matthew and will be watching for federal disaster declarations in affected areas that could affect the Oct. 17 deadline.

Check Out Tax Benefits Before filing, the IRS encourages taxpayers to take a moment to see if they qualify for these and other oftenoverlooked credits and deductions: • Benefits for low-and moderateincome workers and families, especially the Earned Income Tax Credit. The EITC Assistant can help taxpayers see if they’re eligible.

• Savers credit, claimed on Form 8880, for low-and moderate-income workers who contributed to a retirement plan, such as an IRA or 401(k).

• American Opportunity Tax Credit, claimed on Form 8863, and other education tax benefits for parents and college students.

H e a l t h C a r e The health care law includes the individual shared responsibility provision and the premium tax credit that may affect a taxpayer’s return.

Most taxpayers simply need to check a box on their tax return to indicate they had health coverage for all of 2015. For any month that the taxpayer or anyone in their family did not have minimum essential coverage, they need to either claim or report a coverage exemption or make a shared responsibility payment when they file their tax return.

Taxpayers who enrolled in health Page 16

coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace may be eligible for the premium tax credit.

Taxpayers who benefited from advance payments of the premium tax credit must file a federal income tax return to reconcile their advance credit payments, even if they’re otherwise not required to file. Failing to file will prevent a taxpayer from receiving advance credit payments in future years.

The Interactive Tax Assistant tool can also help determine if a taxpayer qualifies for an exemption, needs to make a payment or is eligible for the premium tax credit. Taxpayers can visit IRS.gov/aca for additional information on how the Affordable Care Act affects their return.

Some taxpayers also qualify for the Health Coverage Tax Credit. See the HCTC page on IRS.gov for details.

E-file Now: It’s Fast, Easy and Often Fr ee The IRS urges taxpayers to choose the speed and convenience of electronic filing. Fast, accurate and secure, filing electronically is an ideal option for those rushing to meet the Oct. 17 deadline. The IRS verifies receipt of an e-filed return, and people who file electronically make fewer mistakes. Of the 147 million returns received by the IRS so far this year, about 87 percent or 128 million have been e-filed.

Taxpayers who purchase their own software can also choose to e-file, and most paid tax preparers are now required to file their clients’ returns electronically.

Everyone can use Free File, either the brand-name software, offered by the IRS’s commercial partners to individuals and families with incomes of $62,000 or less, or online fillable forms, the electronic version of IRS paper forms available to taxpayers at all income levels.

Join the eight in 10 taxpayers who get their refunds faster by using direct deposit and e-file. Taxpayers can choose to have their refunds deposited into as many as three accounts. See Form 8888 for details.

Quick and Easy Payment Options IRS Direct Pay offers taxpayers a fast and easy way to pay what they owe. Available through the Pay Your Tax Bill icon on IRS.gov, Direct Pay is free and allows individuals to securely pay their tax bills or make quarterly estimated tax payments online directly from checking or savings accounts without any fees or pre-registration. So far this year, more than 6 million tax payments totaling over $23 billion have been received
