OC Fair & Event Center Holds Public Dedication Ceremony for New Heroes Hall Veterans Museum on Veterans Day Special dignitaries and local veterans will be recognized.

All veterans and their families are welcome to attend the free ceremony.

The OC Fair & Event Center (OCFEC) will celebrate the Veterans Day holiday with a public dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Heroes Hall veterans museum that is slated to open early next year.

The ceremony is Friday, November 11, at 1 p.m. at the OC Fair & Event Center and is free to the public.

Heroes Hall at the OC Fair & Event Center will be a permanent, year-round museum with exhibitions, performances and educational programs that celebrate the legacy of Orange County veterans and others who have served our nation.

The two-story exhibition space will rotate themes semi-annually with each focusing on an aspect of the personal stories and experiences of veterans.

The OCFEC property was once part of the Santa Ana Army Air Base, a 1,300-plus-acre training facility active during World War II. Orange Coast College, Vanguard University, Costa

Mesa High School, Davis Elementary School, Tewinkle Park and several commercial and residential areas are also on former army air base land.

The dedication ceremony will be a salute to local veterans and veterans groups including Vincent Okamoto - the most decorated Japanese American veteran of the Vietnam War and a Los Angeles Superior Court judge - and Santa Ana Army Air Base veterans.

Approved by the OCFEC Board of Directors in 2014, Heroes Hall is expected to encompass more than 12,000 square feet with indoor/ outdoor exhibit space. Crews broke ground in March and the former “Memorial Gardens,” a two-story, 5,000-square-foot WWII-era building, was placed on the site in April to house exhibitions. Crews have been diligently working on the building and the surrounding courtyard which includes a 50-foot-wide centerpiece designed after the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest U.S. military decoration that is awarded by Congress for gallantry and bravery in combat at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty. Construction

is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

Guests can register for the dedication ceremony at ocfair.com/ heroeshall.

Attendees are also invited to attend the free Veterans + Labor Community Celebration scheduled at the OC Fair & Event Center on the same day from 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Details for the community event are available at veteransandlabor.com.

T h e H e r o e s H a l l Ve t e r a n s Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit, provides fundraising support for exhibitions, education, programs and operation. Information about

how to become involved and make a contribution is available at ocheroeshall.org.

PACIFIC SYMPHONY SOARS WITH A SPELLBINDING PERFORMANCE OF MOZART’S VIOLIN CONCERTO NO. 3 AND TCHAIKOVSKY’S POWERFUL FOURTH SYMPHONY

Expect fireworks to shoot from the strings during a breathtaking performance by young star-on-therise, Arnaud Sussmann, as he joins Music Director Carl St.Clair and Pacific Symphony for the second concert of the 2016-17 Classical Season celebrating 10 years in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.

While Sussmann performs Mozart’s most beloved violin concerto, his Third, the orchestra delivers Tchaikovsky’s astonishing Symphony No. 4, which the composer described as “a reflection of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.” From the opening fateful thundering brass fanfare to the dramatic finish, this quintessentially Romantic Russian music sweeps the listener away, evoking surging, potent emotions. Rounding out the program is an intriguing world premiere by the Symphony’s composer-in-residence, Narong Prangcharoen, whose “Absence of Time” spotlights the Symphony’s principal wind players.

This concert takes place Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 20-22, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets range from $25-$125 ($195 Box Circle). A preview talk with Alan Chapman begins at 7 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, Page 2

please call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.

And don’t miss Sunday Casual Connections’ first concert of the season on Oct. 23, at 3 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, “Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Revealed.” This 90-minute exploration of the classical program, led by Maestro St.Clair, features the spectacular finale of Tchaikovsky’s mighty Fourth Symphony, along with Mozart’s famous Violin Concerto No. 3, “Strassburg” and Prangcharoen’s new “Absence of Time.” Season tickets for the four-concert series range from $88-$339; single tickets are $25-$98.

Mozart’s Third Violin Concerto is arguably his most popular.

Even Mozart thought so. On Oct. 23, 1777, he wrote his father: “In the evening at supper I played my Strassburg Concerto, which went like oil. Everyone praised my beautiful, pure tone.” Supposedly, it’s one of five violin concertos Mozart wrote during a single year (1775), four from Salzburg between June and September. However, recent speculation suggests the first and possibly the second are products from a few years earlier. (Even a composer given to major spurts of

The Newport News

artistic growth such as Mozart would have been hard-pressed to pull off such a feat.)

Nothing else Mozart ever wrote for violin seems to have surpassed his Third Concerto. With distinctly greater sophistication, it is a far more intimate work than either his enthusiastic fourth or his electric fifth. Also with his Third, perhaps for the first time, the composer successfully filled the three-movement classical concerto with the kind of clever, colorful and dramatic life that made his operas so remarkable. When in the middle of the allegro’s first movement the orchestra disrupts the cheery, charming interaction and forces the violinist into the role of protagonist, it feels a little like an Italian opera. Later, during one of the concerto’s most magnificent moments, the emotional outburst becomes heroic, achieving peace after discord. Mozart’s mastery is especially evident at the end, as the traditional bombastic conclusion is replaced with the lighthearted cadence of oboes and horns.

And who better to perform such a gem? Nice Matin (France) wrote of virtuoso violinist, Sussmann: “The stature of a handsome young gentleman, the allure and assurance of an artist… He displayed the

Arnaud Sussmann confidence, beauty of sound and elegance of the great violinists.” A thrilling young musician capturing the attention of critics and audiences worldwide, and winner of a 2009 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Sussmann has distinguished himself with his unique sound and profound musicianship.

Minnesota’s Pioneer Press said, “Sussmann has an old-school sound reminiscent of what you’ll hear on vintage recordings by Jascha Heifetz or Fritz Kreisler, a rare combination of sweet and smooth that can hypnotize a listener. His clear tone a thing of awe-inspiring beauty, his phrasing spellbinding.”

2016 Blenheim Fall Series Romfh Leading Hunter Rider Awards Wrapping up their 2016 California season with the Fall Series in San Juan Capistrano, Blenheim EquiSports Photos by McCool Three times was a charm for Professional Hunter Rider Nick Haness, Amateur-Owner rider Lindsay Maxwell and Adult Rider Tonia Cook Looker. Collecting the most points throughout the season, Haness, Maxwell and Looker earned the Leading Rider Award in their divisions in the spring, summer and fall.

After numerous placings in the Professional Hunter Sections on Lindsay Maxwell’s Kingston, Enzo and Quinn during the Blenheim EquiSports Fall Series, Haness secured a hat trick with his third Romfh Leading Hunter Rider Title of the 2016 season.

From Devon to Del Mar, Haness has had a stellar season in the show ring and is now back on the East Coast competing on the Indoor Circuit.

Lindsay Maxwell, riding Enzo, Quinn, and Kingston, garnered a total 75 total points in the 3’3” and 3’6” Amateur Owner Hunters during the Blenheim Fall Tournament to win the Romfh Leading Amateur Owner Hunter Rider Title, also sweeping the title for the third time this season.

Well-prepared for tough competition, Maxwell is currently back on the East Coast for the Indoor Circuit with her hunters, competing at Capital Challenge, Harrisburg, Washington and The CP National Horse Show in Lexington.

Tonia Cook Looker finished the fall

outdoor season at Blenheim in style when she collected her third Romfh Leading Hunter Award in the Adult division. Starting week two sitting second, Looker and Paddington won every class over fences and the classic during the International Jumping Festival, for an incredible 102 point total. Also now competing at Capital Challenge, Looker is East competing on the Indoor Circuit.

Emma Hansen and Easy Time had a great fall circuit in the Junior Hunter ring. Riding in the 3’3” division, Hansen earned the tri-color and also won the Classic. Collecting those points she ended up ahead of runner up Lauren Burke, who was also in contention, and took home the Romfh Leading Junior Hunter Rider Title. Like the Leading Riders above, Emma will also be East for the indoor circuit.

Anna Moellenhoff was on fire during the Blenheim Fall Series. After earning 72 total points between her two horses, Lukatoni and Santos, Moellenhoff received the $250 Gift Certificate to Romfh Equestrian Apparel and the Leading Children’s Hunter Rider sash. The young equestrian didn’t just dominate the hunters, she was also crowned the Veredus Leading Children’s Jumper Rider.

A ribbon in the Pony Hunter Classic was the moment that determined the winner of the Romfh Equestrian Apparel Leading Pony Hunter Rider Title.

Anna Moellenhoff and Team Bridgeport Farms Prior to the Classic, up-and-coming pony rider Shiloh Roseboom, aboard Heavenly Patch of Blue and Always Happy, accumulated 83 points during week two to tie Stella Wasserman, who was in the lead from her outstanding week one performances.

But after earning a fifth place in the classic, Roseboom jumped in front, securing the title with an 85 point total.

Coming to California to judge the Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Finals - West, top show jumper Schuyler Riley mentioned that Romfh was her choice of for attire in and out of the show ring.

“The design is fresh and cool. And it is all machine washable, which in today’s world is a necessity!” Riley noted.

Who will collect the certificate and sash at The Las Vegas National Horse Show in November? Don’t miss the excitement - look for email updates on VIP and ticket availability soon.

Thanks again to Romfh Equestrian Apparel for sponsoring the Leading Hunter Rider Awards this season. Blenheim EquiSports is The Place To Be in 2016!

Smart jewelry: The fashion-forward w a y t o s t a y co n n ec t e d 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.

Coastkeeper Completes Record-Breaking Eelgrass Restoration Project in upper Newport bay

This summer, 159 volunteers assisted Orange County Coastkeeper in planting a record-breaking 1,280 square-meters of eelgrass in Upper Newport Bay. Coastkeeper says that this is the equivalent amount planted through its Eelgrass Restoration Project through the last four years — combined. Increased eelgrass populations equate to numerous economic and environmental benefits for Orange County, including a healthier Newport Bay for all to enjoy.

The restoration took place at four separate sites through the span of 15 days throughout June and July.

Volunteers, including 17 volunteer SCUBA divers, offered more than 1,100 hours of their time to the project.

“Eelgrass has a reputation of being a nuisance in Newport Bay, so community members rallying behind the project is a huge step in the right direction,” says Sara Briley, Orange County Coastkeeper’s marine restoration director. “The reality of the situation is simple – the bay ecosystem that we all know and love will not survive without a healthy eelgrass population.”

Eelgrass beds furnish habitats for crabs, scallops, fish and other marine species and can be found in shallow coastal waters worldwide, but are dramatically declining due to pollution from urban runoff and coastal development.

In Newport Bay, benefits of eelgrass include: Naturally filtering and producing oxygen, improving water quality. Increasing diversity and abundance of species native to Newport Bay estuary. Restoring the value of Newport Bay’s ecosystems.

Before Coastkeeper’s project began in 2012, 0.42 acres of eelgrass existed near the project site in Upper Newport Bay. Every summer since 2012, Coastkeeper has mobilized volunteers to restore 0.64 acres of this important plant. With a bit of help from Mother Nature, Upper Newport Bay now has over an acre of eelgrass habitat. Last May, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife discovered a rare Pacific Seahorse near an eelgrass restoration site, indicating that Coastkeeper ’s efforts are making Newport Bay a healthier home for marine life.

S i m p l e s t ep s t o pe r fec t s l o w - cooke r m e a l s

The slow cooker captures the essence of the season with the first sniff of simmering comfort food. Convenient, economical and versatile, slow cookers are becoming popular again.

“This isn’t your mother’s slow cooker,” says Ginny Bean, publisher and founder of Ginny’s catalog and Ginnys.com. “Beyond coming in bright colors and stunning designs, many of today’s models are programmable, with digital timers that start automatically, and a self-adjust feature that switches the temperature to ‘keep warm’ at the end of cooking.”

While replacing your 20-year-old slow cooker with a newer model may be a logical place to start, Bean offers these additional tips for preparing perfect slow-cooker meals. * Plan ahead. If you want to use your slow cooker first thing in the morning, cut and trim meat, chop vegetables, measure out dry ingredients and prepare sauce the night before; then refrigerate ingredients in separate containers. Don’t refrigerate in the slow-cooker insert, as a cold insert takes too long to heat up, affecting cooking time and, potentially, food safety. In the morning, add ingredients to the cooker according to the recipe.

Reheat any sauce to a simmer before adding.

* Size matters. Slow cookers are available in sizes from 1 quart to 8 1/2 quarts. If you’re using a different size cooker than that called for in the recipe, adjust your ingredient quantities proportionately. Most manufacturers recommend filling a slow cooker one-half to two-thirds full.

Foods will not cook properly if the pot is filled to the brim. Conversely, if the food and liquid level is too low, meals will cook too quickly. * Keep a lid on it. Resist the urge to lift the lid to stir or peek at your meal.

Each time you remove the lid, enough heat escapes to lengthen cooking time by 20 to 30 minutes. Only open it once, within the final hour of cooking, to check doneness. * Check your temperature. For safety, food being cooked needs to reach 140 F. If you’re at home while your meal is cooking, use a meat thermometer to check that food temperature is at least 140 degrees, after four hours of cooking on low. If it isn’t, there’s a problem with your slow cooker and you should get a new one.

Also, don’t put frozen ingredients into a slow cooker, as it takes too long for them to escape the food safety “danger zone” between 40 and 140 F. * Use cheaper cuts of meat. Not only do you save money, but these cuts are actually better suited to slow

cooking, because they have less fat.

Fat causes slow-cooker meals to cook too quickly, and can carry an unpleasant texture. So remove skin from poultry and trim excess fat from other meats for optimal slow-cooker results. * Brown when you can. While not necessary, browning meat and vegetables before adding them to a slow cooker provides color and a richer flavor to finished dishes. Time permitting, Bean likes to “deglaze” her browning pan with the recipe’s liquid and add the flavorful, caramelized bits into her slow cooker. * Follow layering instructions.

Vegetables do not cook as quickly as meat, so they should be placed in the bottom of the slow cooker, where food cooks fastest. * Stir in spices in the final hour.

Most spices lose flavor when cooked for a long time. Cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce actually become bitter, and should be used sparingly.

To shop for slow cookers and hundreds of other home, kitchen and gift items, browse seasonal tips and recipes, or request a copy of the Ginny’s catalog, log on to Ginnys.com or call (800) 693-0809. You can also find Ginny’s on Facebook.

Just as slow cookers themselves have changed over the decades,

so has the quality and quantity of recipes available. There are dozens of slow-cooker recipes on Ginnys. com, including one of founder Ginny Bean’s personal favorites for melt-inyour-mouth pot roast.

Gourmet beef pot roast Ingredients: 3 potatoes, sliced thinly 2 carrots, sliced thinly 1 onion, sliced 1 teaspoon garlic salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 package instant onion soup 3-4 pounds beef brisket, rump roast or pot roast 1/2 cup dry red wine Directions: Put vegetables in bottom of a 6 1/2-quart slow cooker. Salt and pepper the meat and place on top of the vegetables. Mix tgether the onion soup mix and wine and pour over the meat. Cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours, or on high for 5 to 6 hours.

Makes 10 to 12 servings. - (BPT)

Stop the spread of cold and flu viruses this school year

A new school year is starting and as many parents know, kids are likely to bring home more than their homework at some point. Many catch cold and flu viruses from their classmates, which can then spread to other family members at home.

When kids are sick, they miss out on valuable learning experiences and social interactions in the classroom.

On average, elementary school children get eight to 12 colds or cases of the flu each school year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For the older kids, it is about half that. That’s why it’s important that parents, teachers and kids work together to stop the spread of germs in the classroom.

Everyone can follow these simple steps to help prevent the spread of germs that can cause cold and flu viruses this school year: Get vaccinated: Getting a yearly flu vaccine is the first and most important step in flu prevention. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine each year to protect against the flu virus.

Stay home when sick: If possible, keep kids home from school when

they are sick to help prevent teachers and classmates from catching their illness.

Sing and scrub: Make sure kids wash their hands the right way.

They should wash frequently with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds (the time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice).

Do the elbow cough: Teach kids to cough into elbows, not hands, since hands are more likely to spread bacteria and viruses through touch.

Disinfect germ hot spots: The CDC recommends disinfecting frequently touched surfaces or objects when someone is ill. In the classroom teachers can use a disinfectant approved to kill cold and flu viruses on desks, computer mice and doorknobs.

“Creating a healthier learning environment starts with small actions that add up to a big impact,” says Dr. Howell Wechsler, CEO of the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children thrive. “Parents play an important role and can lend a hand to teachers by reinforcing healthy lessons at home and donating useful items like tissues, hand sanitizer and

disinfecting wipes.”

To provide teachers with the resources they need to help stop the spread of germs in the classroom, the Clorox Company is partnering with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation for “Canisters for Classrooms.” For every parent that takes the “Canisters for Classrooms” pledge, Clorox will donate a canister of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to a school in need and $1 to the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Healthy Schools

Program, which creates healthier learning environments in more than 18,000 schools, reaching 11 million students across the country. To take the pledge and learn ways to help keep your family healthier this school year, visit www.CloroxClassrooms. com. Parents that take the pledge will also receive a coupon, so that they can donate disinfecting wipes and make a difference in their child’s classroom, too. - (BPT)

Crystal Cove Alliance Seaside Soiree Raises Record-Breaking $418,000

The Newport News

Bette Aitken, Crystal Cove Alliance Founder and Vice President Laura Photos by: J. Christopher Launi Davick, and Wylie Aitken.

A starlit, breathtaking picture-perfect evening made was in store for 420 guests who celebrated together at the 14th annual Crystal Cove Alliance “Soiree” presented by The Resort at Pelican Hill. The always sold-out fete on the bluff overlooking Crystal Cove raised a record-breaking $418,000 in support of the nonprofit’s mission to preserve the cultural, natural and historic resources of Crystal Cove State Park.

“We’re thrilled with the generous support from the community and the passion our advocates have for preserving the historic jewel that is Crystal Cove,” said newly appointed President and CEO Alix Hobbs. “Our organization is gearing up for some very exciting initiatives and these require the help of our wonderfully dedicated supporters. This dedication will enable us to ensure that this precious resource thrives far into the future, for all the generations to come.”

The elegant affair kicked off with an al fresco cocktail reception including hors d’oeuvres by The Resort at Pelican Hill and a silent auction. During dinner, guests participated in a lively auction filled with unique experiences and fabulous getaways.

Generating buzz among Soiree guests was the opportunity drawing for Giuseppe Lama, managing director of The Resort at Pelican Hill, Chad a three-night stay in the two-story, waterfront South Beach Suite (Crystal Cove Cottage #14). The most recent and largest cottage to be renovated, Bustos and Catherine Lama. the prize was won by Sandra and Ray Wirta from Laguna Beach.

During the lively fund-a-need program, guests raised their paddles to collect $151,000 – triple the amount raised from last year – to support scholarships for K through 12 students to take part in Crystal Cove Alliance’s education programs, which focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and environmental awareness by enabling students to work handson with the local ecosystem. The amount raised included a $50,000 match from Massen Greene Foundation. Additional funds were raised through sponsorships, underwriters, ticket sales, general donations, and silent and live auctions.

The evening closed with live entertainment by The California Honeydrops, led by dynamic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynski. The lively band immediately drew guests to the dance floor with its array of R&B, funk, Southern soul and Delta blues.

Event proceeds will support Crystal Cove Alliance’s pioneering environmental science education programs which are experiencing rapid growth. In 2017, the nonprofit also will ramp up fundraising efforts for Servers holding trays of hors d’oeuvres provided by The Resort at Phase III of its restoration program which will enable CCA to renovate the remaining 17 cottages deteriorating at the north end of its beach. Once all Pelican Hill.

46 historic cottages have been restored, the CCA historic district will be financially sustainable – and no longer will require additional revenue for ongoing maintenance.

Crystal Cove Alliance, the official nonprofit partner of Crystal Cove State Park, is dedicated to preserving the cultural, natural and historic resources of Crystal Cove. Founded in 1999 by Laura Davick to stop a planned luxury resort from overtaking the area, Crystal Cove Alliance rescued the historic site and initiated one of the most successful public-private partnership models in the history of the California State Park system. The partnership between Crystal Cove Alliance and California State Parks has led to the renovation of 29 historic beachfront cottages, now open for overnight stays, as well as historic education programs designed for the public.

Crystal Cove Alliance’s focus includes 3.2 miles of coastline, more than 2,400 acres of backcountry habitat and a 1,100-acre offshore Underwater Park. Crystal Cove also is home to innovative educational programs and experiences that promote science and environmental literacy to more than 1.5 million park visitors annually.

Popular Newport Restaurant JACKshrimp Re l oc a t e s a n d Re - N a m e d C AM P US J A X Local restaurateur Jack Jasper has delivered as promised after the closing of his landmark PCH JACKshrimp eatery last year. Jasper has opened his new location across from the John Wayne executive airport at 3950 Campus Drive under the new, revved up name, “Campus JAX”. These new digs raise the bar of Jasper’s efforts from a small beachy beer and wine eatery to a full blown performance venue, restaurant, and supper club, with sports friendly viewing, lunch, brunch, and a full bar.

Although Campus JAX had its grand opening in January of this year, it still remains one of Newport Beach’s best kept secrets…something Jasper is on a mission to change!

One important thing has not changed. Jasper continues serving his California-style Cajun Classics, a favorite of many locals for more than a quarter century, offered in a special section of the menu as an homage to his JACKshrimp roots. “There were so many friends of the restaurant who were eager to get their JACKshrimp flavor fix on again,” Jasper said. “But nobody is as excited about getting back to work as I am. Even though we were only down just a few months, I really missed it,” he continued. “I’ve spent most of my life doing this…I love going to work and feel blessed by all the relationships that have grown from working here in Newport.”

The biggest change that comes with Jasper’s move to Campus JAX is the addition of live music and a full service bar. Upon arrival almost a year ago, Jasper and his crew completely renovated the former Hogue Barmichael’s into a state-ofart performance venue for live music and dancing. The open, dark wood environment is spacious, yet cozy.

Fitting the menu like a southern belle’s glove, the room has the charm you’d expect from a New Orleans supper club.

On any given night, you’ll find the Campus JAX stage hosting live acts from Jazz to Blues to Classic Rock with a dash of County Western. Recently, Jasper has been collaborating with Lori Brystan’s SHOW: The Supper Club to showcase sold out performances with prix fixe 4-course dinners featuring live music, dancers and specialty acts from the entertainment world’s most memorable eras. Additionally, Jasper has just announced a new lunch concept beginning Monday, October 10. This collaboration with SHOW: The Supper Club is an easy “get-away” lunch experience that will transport guests to the best of times gone by with a good conscious menu that pairs well with just a taste of a vintage ambient performer. Lunch patrons can also pre-order online at LunchAct.com and have their table waiting for them. To-go and delivery

is also available for online orders.

The next upcoming Supper Club Show: Fly With Me featuring Steven Michael and the 17-piece Paul McDonald Big Band is on Saturday, October 15th. With a throwback Sinatra-style sound and repertoire, this band was called LA’s best Jazz Band by CBS News. VIP and General tickets can be purchased at ShowTheSupperClub.com or directly through Campus JAX (a full entertainment calendar of events is available at campusjax.com) “There’s just no one else around that is able to host these kinds of events, and they are absolutely over the top amazing!”

Jasper says. “We have great parking, a fantastic venue, a super friendly and capable staff, and some absolutely incredible performers! We just did a charity event with two performers from the Voice and an American Idol finalist. There is some amazing talent here in the OC and I’m lucky enough to have a place for them to perform where guests can also enjoy a great dining experience. New Orleans has it, Austin has it…now Newport Beach has it!”

Last month Jasper also added a special Sunday Brunch menu. The doors open at 10am to catch the NFL kick off in the bar, with the kitchen opening at 10:30 am. The complete brunch menu is available online and the full menu is offered as well!

With a professional stage, a concert ready sound system, 8 big screen TVs and a 100 inch projection screen, seating for over 200, Live Entertainment and dancing, a full bar, and all ages dining, Campus JAX is a one of a kind venue in Newport that has already hosted several corporate and private parties, birthdays and life celebrations, charity events and Presidential debate viewing parties.

For more information on how to book an event, you can call Jack directly or email him at Jack@CampusJAX. com.

Campus JAX proudly sources its ingredients locally whenever possible, and was the first restaurant in Newport Beach to be certified as an Ocean Friendly establishment by the Surfrider Foundation. Supporting other local businesses and being water conscious are an important part of the philosophy of Jasper. Over the years, Jasper has opened stores in other Orange County markets including Irvine, Laguna Beach and Aliso Viejo, but Newport Beach remains the community he serves and calls home.

Wa l k - i n s a n d l a r g e p a r t y reservations are always welcome (excludes some special events and private parties). Located at 3950 Campus Drive, Newport Beach Contact Campus JAX at (949) 2616270 or visit campusJAX.com for more info.

You’ve Never Had Lunch Like This Before...

Advice for small businesses poised to hire their first employee

For small-business owners, hiring a first employee is a significant milestone - one that directly affects the company’s growth, future success and culture. Hiring staff means enhancing your business’ ability to grow, but it also presents unique challenges.

From affirming that the person you hire has the credentials to do the job and is the right personality fit for your organization, to ensuring you don’t run afoul of payroll taxes, workers’ compensation and other legal requirements, making that first hire requires a lot of preparation.

When you’re getting ready to make that first all-important hire, keep some guidelines in mind: Understand costs You hire a first employee to help your business grow, but the costs associated with that growth can be significant. It’s important to weigh carefully the benefits of hiring against the related costs. According to the Small Business Association, these can include: * Wages and taxes, including unemployment, Medicare and Social Security taxes * Workers compensation insurance * Recruiting and training expenses * Benefits * Payroll management * Equipment, including software licenses and data plans, to help an employee do his or her job Seeking candidates

Finding the right employee for your small business can also be a challenge. While professional hiring services can do the legwork for you, most small-business owners manage the hiring process themselves. You’ll need to consider where to advertise for candidates, what professional requirements you’ll want them to meet, what wage you’ll offer and how you’ll handle the interview process.

“We work with thousands of entrepreneurs and how to set wages is a frequent topic of interest,” says Michael Alter, president and CEO of SurePayroll, Inc., a Paychex company. Alter co-founded SurePayroll in 2000, and since then it has grown from a small business of four people to a company that employs more than 200 people.

“As payroll providers, we know that wages are set by the market, not the employer. Researching and offering a competitive wage will help you to attract and keep the right candidate.”

Another critical component to consider is fit. A comprehensive pre-employment screening can help you make better hiring decisions.

In addition to reviewing candidates’ resumes and references, your screening may include a background check, drug screening, behavioral assessments and skills testing.

Prepare for payroll No one works for love alone. Your new employee will expect to be paid on time each pay period with the

appropriate amount of withholdings taken out of his or her check.

Managing payroll, however, can be costly and time-consuming; a small business with 10 or fewer employees may spend up to $2,600 per year on direct labor for payroll, according to SurePayroll. What’s more, if you don’t know or understand tax laws and requirements, you could find your company facing IRS penalties.

In the past, outsourcing payroll wasn’t always a practical option for small businesses with just one or two employees. Today, an online service such as SurePayroll can help small business owners manage their own payroll affordably, accurately and efficiently by paying employees and paying and filing payroll taxes. These services handle all the calculations for paying employees; calculating, paying and filing federal, state and local payroll taxes anywhere in the country; and notifying tax authorities of new hires. Mobile payroll apps also allow owners to run payroll on the go anytime, anywhere. Visit www.

SurePayroll.com to learn more.

Next steps after hiring In addition to completing necessary payroll tax forms, benefit enrollment forms and employee information files, you’ll need to complete a New Hire Reporting form that helps state and federal agencies track down parents in regard to child support payments.

You’ll also need to set up a

storage system; the IRS requires all companies keep employment tax records for at least four years.

Additional post-hiring tasks will include: * Verifying an employee’s eligibility to work. Federal law requires employers to verify that an employee can legally work in the U.S. You’ll need to complete and submit an Employment Eligibility Verification Form within three days of making a hire. * Fulfill your obligations under your state’s new hire reporting program.

Federal law requires all employers to report all new hires to the state within 20 days of hiring. * Secure workers’ compensation insurance. * Establish a bookkeeping system.

Hiring that first employee can be exciting and challenging. Fortunately, with some planning and the help of online tools, you can ensure the hiring process goes smoothly, and each worker who joins your team contributes to your business’ continued growth. - (BPT)

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the

existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sa le date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-650493-HL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return o f the monies paid to the Trustee.

The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

Dinnerware bursts with color for fall entertaining

The autumn leaves bursting into vibrant reds, lively oranges, and brilliant yellows signal a new season for home entertaining. If you need a little inspiration, look no further than your favorite outdoor spot to update your table setting with the hottest colors for fall 2014.

“Contemporary versions of classic colors are trending in the interior design realm this fall,” says John Griffith, visual merchandiser for dinnerware retailer Replacements, Ltd. “Rich deep Pantone colors including Sangria, Aurora Red, Cognac and Misted Yellow reflect the abundance of color you see outdoors. The new Fiesta color, Poppy, is perfect for autumn. Metallic finishes are also wildly popular, such as gold and copper.”

Customers frequently ask Griffith and designer Julie Robbins for creative guidance to refresh their family heirloom pattern table settings.

Pattern blending is a specialty of Robbins.

“Vintage dinnerware continues to be one of the trendiest design elements in the tabletop industry and those patterns are some of our best sellers,” says Robbins. “Why buy a reproduction when the real

thing is readily available? Search your mother or grandmother’s china cabinet to find some of the great retro patterns. Add your own point of view when you mix and match contemporary designs to create a modern look. It’s really simple to add an accent plate, or a stand-out charger in this season’s colors to update your table for fall entertaining.”

Figural pieces, such as leaf shaped plates and serving pieces are very popular this fall. Many manufacturers are offering colorful accent pieces with favorites including turkey, fall leaves and pumpkin motifs.

“You can use pumpkins as a strong design element through Thanksgiving,” Griffith suggests.

“Pumpkins made of glass, ceramic and lightweight resin are big sellers in the store as we head into the season.

Mix with the real thing to easily create a great centerpiece.”

As the season changes, so does the way you’re entertaining.

Gatherings may be more casual as friends and family get together around the television for the big game or by the fire pit on the patio.

“Appetizer size plates and individual dip bowls are great for finger foods and condiments, says

Robbins. “These smaller pieces are both popular and affordable. Plus it’s fun to mix shapes, colors or motifs.

Mix and match your favorite team colors for the big game or choose individual Thanksgiving themed plates for celebrations tied to turkey day.”

Still looking for more fall tabletop ideals? Help is just a click away. This team is now using Facebook to share decorating tips and solutions.

“We love partnering with our customers to solve their design dilemmas,” says Robbins. “We’re

thrilled when people reach out to us and ask questions on Replacements’ Facebook page. Our team is having a lot of fun connecting with our customers and we encourage people to visit our page, ask questions, like us and share us with their friends; we get so many great design challenges this way.”

Once the team receives a question, they create multiple mix and match options, photograph these table settings then post the images online for the public to see and share.

Afterschool nutrition and activities improve educational success

Millions of students are heading back to school with high hopes for a great school year. When it comes to educational success, most parents and caregivers focus on what happens in the classroom, but what takes place after school is equally important to academic success.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nearly 50 million Americans - including more than 16 million children and teens younger than 18 - live with food insecurity, meaning they struggle to feed their families. Many of these children receive free or reduced-cost meals during the school day, but are at risk of hunger when school is out.

While healthy activities and proper nutrition benefit physical health, they also impact mental health and children’s success in school. A nourished body means a nourished mind, and several studies show children who don’t get the proper nutrition can experience difficulties focusing, socializing and learning in the classroom.

“It is imperative that children have access to healthy nutrition options, and are introduced to physical fitness routines at an early age,” says Jackie Thurnau, early childhood and afterschool specialist, YMCA of the USA. “A few simple strategies can help give kids the nutrition they need while encouraging healthy, active play afterschool. Y afterschool programs, for example, promote

healthy eating, a love for learning, and social and emotional development while complementing lessons learned during the school day.”

According to Thurnau, the Y is offering an Afterschool Meal Program in partnership with the Walmart Foundation throughout the 2013-14 school year to serve 3.5 million meals and snacks. At 1,400 sites nationwide, school-age children enrolled in the program will receive-nutritious food - along with learning enrichment activities - to be healthy and succeed in school.- In addition, Y Afterschool Programs are implementing healthy eating and physical activity standards in early learning and afterschool programs. Some of these standards include serving fruits and vegetables at every meal, setting limits on screen time and devoting time for physical activity.The Y also offers five tips for busy parents and caregivers to provide their kids with brain-boosting healthy snacks and fun physical activity after the school day is over: 1: Offer a variety of foods It’s important for parents to encourage children to eat a wide variety of nutritious foods that support physical and mental wellness. Whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables should be at the heart of snack times.

Save time by cutting veggies for snacking every Sunday and putting portions into resealable bags or containers; kids can just grab, snack

and go whenever they’d like.

2: Be creative when introducing new foods While some kids are adventurous eaters, many are resistant to trying new things. Never force children to eat a particular food. If you face resistance, ask nicely if they’ll taste one bite. If you still have troubles, include children in the purchasing and preparation of the food. Be creative in how the food is offered - a little dip can make eating fun. Try low-fat dressing, fat-free yogurt for fruits, vegetables, crackers and more.

3: Limit sweet drinks When it comes to what children drink, sweet soft drinks and juices are high in calories and sugar and are typically low in nutrition. Water is the best way to hydrate, but who says water can’t be fun to drink, too?

Liven up your kids’ drinks with fresh sliced oranges, lemons or limes for a colorful splash of healthy flavor.

Remember, dehydration can impair memory and make it difficult to pay attention, so make sure your student drinks H2O to stay focused. [Source: Psychology Today] 4: Limit screen time While a little TV or time on the computer can be enjoyable for kids (and a welcome break for adults), we all want our kids to appreciate being active. Start the school year with clear rules about how much screen time is allowed each day. For example, if you allow one hour of screen time

after school is out, your child knows that she has 60 minutes to divide between playing online and watching her favorite TV show before bed.

5: Encourage physical play It’s important for parents to encourage and participate in active play. Whether it’s joining an organized youth team or simply hosting play groups at a local park for a few rounds of tag, parents need to make sure kids understand physical activity is a priority. Don’t forget to lead by example; take walks with your children and get outdoors and help them explore Mother Nature.
