Did you know that according to a 2015 survey conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, nearly as many aesthetically-oriented consumers are bothered by their double chin (67%) as by lines and wrinkles around the eyes (69%)? In fact, the condition even has a name - submental fullness, or fat under the chin. It can make you look older and heavier, and it can be difficult to get rid of on your own. Because submental fullness can be influenced by multiple factors – such as genetics, weight gain and aging – sometimes, no matter how much you diet or exercise, your double chin may not go away.

ENVIRONENTAL NATURE CENTER RECEIVES $50,000 DONATION FROM YOUTH DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION The Environmental Nature Center (ENC) accepted a $50,000 donation from Frank Randall, Trustee of the Youth Development Foundation, today. The donation will fund the restoration of the Center’s stream and pond, the development of a new Butterfly Habitat Observation Deck, a desert tortoise enclosure, and the restoration of two teaching stations within the Center. “It was time to make some major repairs to our stream and pond, which have been flowing at the Center since 1972.” said ENC Executive Director Bo Glover. “Our restored stream and pond will no longer leak. Our new Butterfly Habitat Observation Deck will allow visitors to get a close-up view of wild butterflies laying eggs and nectaring in our meadow. The desert tortoise enclosure will give us the opportunity to add another teaching animal to our repertoire, and the restored teaching stations will be significantly more conducive to learning in nature. We are thrilled to accept this generous donation from the Youth Development Foundation.” The ENC’s core educational program, the School Tour Program, provides kindergarten – 12th grade students with high-quality, handson, environmentally based science, social science, and arts education not found in normal school settings. The School Tour Program utilizes the ENC’s unique campus to deliver its services, and the program has seen significant grown in recent years. Two teaching stations – in the Southern Oak Woodland and in the Redwood Forest – will soon feature benches in a semi-circle shape, so that students
will all have a front row seat, and a view of each other and the Center’s Naturalists. “The new seating is especially exciting to me,” said Corina Silva, ENC Education Coordinator. “The layout of the teaching space will encourage conversation and keep the students engaged and thinking critically. The improved seating will allow students and Naturalists to literally see each other – and not just the teacher – which leads to better problem solving and empathy for other points of view.” The Butterfly Habitat Observation Deck will feature a raised path leading to and from a donut shaped seating area within the Center’s Valley Grassland plant community. The deck will be situated near an area where numerous butterfly nectar and host plants – including locally native milkweed – currently grow. The center of the deck will be removed and a puddling area installed. Puddling is a behavior in which male butterflies seek out certain moist substances such as rotting plant matter, mud and carrion, and then suck up the fluid. From the fluids they obtain nutrients such as salts and amino acids that play various roles in their physiology. The deck will also serve as an additional teaching station. About the ENC Founded in 1972, the ENC is a fascinating combination of 15 California native plant communities, wildlife habitat, walking trails, and sustainably designed, LEED Platinum certified learning center. For over 40 years, the ENC has been shaped and caressed into a 5-acre landscape

By Julie Wimmer Champagne is a New Years Eve staple. Most people, when they hear the word Champagne, think celebration, and New Years Eve is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, celebrations in the world. Whether you are a Champagne and/or wine drinker or not, it is always fun to toast the new year with a sip of the bubbly stuff. Lucky for us, there are different kinds to choose from depending on your palate and budget. What are the different kinds of Champagne? Champagne, as most of us know, is basically sparkling wine, however, there are different types. There
is sweet Champagne and dry Champagne, just like wine. When the bottle claims the Champagne is “Extra-dry,” that obviously means it is dry, however, “Brut” means it is the driest kind of Champagne. The sweet bottles of Champagne are called “Sec,” which is sweet, and “Demi-Sec,” which is the sweetest. Picking a dry Champagne or a sweet Champagne can depend on taste, food or price. My father is a wine connoisseur. He has been buying, tasting and testing wine’s since before I was born. We even had a full wine cellar, although it was raw (dug out from the basement with a metal rack put inside,) in our house growing up. Suggestions from my father: Sweet wine and Champagne, according to my father, go with cheeses, red meat and saltier fair. Dry wine and Champagne are better paired with desserts, fruits and sweeter dishes like a chicken dish with a sweet sauce. Buying Champagne When my husband and I went on our honeymoon in Nantucket years ago, we decided to over-splurge
one night on dinner. We’d heard a particular restaurant was worth it, and it was, so we even splurged on the Champagne we ordered to toast ourselves. Each glass, however, was $25. We picked out what was considered an expensive Champagne, and it was certainly delicious, however, that price is steep. You can get a great Champagne at $25 for the entire bottle. You just have to know how to pick it. There are many brands, Korbel, Taittinger , Veuve (with that familiar yellow label,), Dom Perignon, Freixenet and many more that we have seen at liquor stores or heard about from commercials or magazine ads. If you are having guests who know nothing about wine or Champagne and are only going to have a sip at midnight, then it’s okay to go with a Spumante (which you can get for $6) or Freixenet. If you care about the taste however, do some research. Dom Perignon is high end, and yes, delicious no matter what type you pick, but a bottle can run you $100 and up. If you have that sort of cash and want to spend it, great, you are very fortunate. Taittinger has been rated in wine magazines and they have bottles, both dry and sweet, that start at $23. A nice pick for a dinner party or New Years Eve. Veuve is very popular, however they also have great prices (like Taittinger) and many fantastic tastes to choose from. This brand is a great option for a large party on New Years Eve.

TAX PLANNING STRATEGIES FOR 2016 FROM KIM COYLE CPA
Dear Client; As the end of the year approaches, it’s a good time to think of planning strategies that will help lowering your taxes for 2016. 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: 1. Prepay Expenses The IRS allows cash-basis taxpayers to prepay and deduct qualifying expenses up to 12 months in advance (through December 2017) without challenge, adjustment, or change by the IRS. For a cash-basis taxpayer, qualifying expenses include lease payment on business vehicles, rent payments on offices and machinery, and business and malpractice insurance premiums. This is a great way to pump up your 2016 deductions with expenses you will eventually pay anyway. 2. Stop Billing Customers and Patients An easy strategy for reducing your taxable income for this year is to stop billing your customers until December 31, 2016. Customers, patients, and insurance companies generally don’t pay until billed. Not billing customers and patients is a time-tested tax planning strategy that business owner have used successfully for years. 3. Buy Office Equipment With Section 179, you can write off up to $500,000 of office equipment in 2016. Qualifying Section 179 purchases include new and used personal property such as equipment, computers, desks, chairs, and certain qualifying vehicles. To qualify for Section 179, you need to both buy the items and put them in business service on or before midnight December 31, 2016. 4. Use Your Credit Cards If you are a sole proprietor, the day you charge a purchase to your business or personal credit card is the day the expense is deductible, Therefore, as a proprietor, consider using your credit cards to buy office supplies and other business necessities. If you operate your business as a corporation, and if the corporation has a credit card in the corporate name, the same rule applies: the date of charge is the date of deduction for the corporation. But if you operate your business as a corporation and you are the personal owner of the credit card, the corporation must reimburse you if you want the corporation to realize the tax deduction, and that happens on the date of reimbursement. Thus, submit your expense report and have your corporation make its reimbursements to you before midnight on December 31. 5. Don’t Assume You Are Taking Too Many Deductions Make sure your record all of your rightful deductions for 2016, because if your business deductions exceed your business income, you have a tax loss for the year. After a few modifications to the loss, tax law calls this a “net operating loss,” or an NOL. The good news is that tax law allows you to carry back the NOL for two years and get instant refunds from taxes previously paid. If, after going back for two years, you still have unused losses, you can carry them forward for up to 20 years. In other words, you have a 22-year window during which you can realize the benefits of your deductions. So always document your expenses in order to get your rightful deductions. Please do not hesitate contact me if you want to discuss in greater depth any of the strategies outlined above.

Proven Medical Neuropathy Treatment with an 87% Success Rate Available in Newport Beach Time to reflect back on 2016 and set your sights on 2017. How did the year progress, and what did you accomplish? Maybe your goals included: A new promotion, a new car, a bigger house, better health or more meaningful relationships. Did they happen? Has that time come to raise the bar and make a fundamental change? At first glance it may seem impossible, but nothing changes unless you take control. Maybe 2017 is the year you start living life more on your own terms - and start today by employing these five tips: * Live a life that is true to you. Wrestle with this one. Dig deep. Is it work? Then make passion for that work front and center. Is it skill building? Then tackle an online class in a skill you need, or just want to explore. Is it where you live, or who you are sharing life with or want to share it with? Stare it down and chart one bold step toward change. The biggest regret at the end of life’s journey is abandoning your dreams. And for most people it’s just pure fear that they weren’t good enough, so they “turtle shell” up. Stop. No retakes. One mantra: Live Life Now. Repeat: This is Your Life. Find what is true to you and take one tangible step. * Measure your time and where it is spent. Time is like the sand in the hourglass of life. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Manage it like money. Every person walking this planet has the same exact number of hours in a day. Think of it as currency. How are you spending it? Seriously, take out the pen, paper and write down for one week how that most precious commodity was spent. Then change the allocation and budget time toward accomplishing that change you want, and maybe even desperately need.
Own your hour glass of life and take control. * Focus on your people. Ask yourself a tough question: Who are the people you care about most? Who do you impact, and who impacts you? These are the people that matter most in your life. Don’t be afraid to shift the balance of your time in their favor. You’ll be a better friend, and you’ll inherently feel stronger and more impactful. Your support network grows stronger, as do you. * Feel good with what you wear. This may seem contrite, but what you toss on that skin of yours not only speaks volumes about you, but also puts you into a certain mindset. If clothes make the man, what do yours say about you? Change some items in your wardrobe and feel good about what you wear. For example, the Madda Fella menswear clothing line projects the chill vibe of Key West, yet works well in the boardroom or out on the boat. * Find your inspiration point. What place inspires you? Where is that one spot in the world that motivates you above all others? For Madda Fella CEO and founder Michael Louden, it is Key West. “When I am there, in the sun, in this gorgeous slice of the world, I change perspectives... see a bigger world.” he says. “You owe it to yourself to do something meaningful with your life, to make a difference.” Find your place. You’ll find it is just what you need to recharge your batteries, revive your spirit and strengthen you. The holidays are a wonderful time to bring into focus the year ahead. Don’t be afraid to think big and to start now. Set the ground work for change today and you’ll make 2017 your most legendary year yet. - (BPT)

PACIFIC SYMPHONY WELCOMES THE CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH A MUSICAL “LOVE FEAST” THE 2017 LANTERN FESTIVAL Pacific Symphony, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, is celebrating the 2017 Chinese New Year with the Southern California community by offering a number of unique and multifaceted events. First, all are invited to the inaugural concert, “Chinese New Year: A Love Feast,” which offers a joyous mix of Eastern and Western music and dance, on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2017 at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Surrounding the concert is a VIP Chinese New Year Celebration reception and formal dinner in collaboration with LUILI crystal art. Then, the Symphony partners with the South Coast Chinese Cultural Center/Irvine Chinese School to present the “2017 Lantern Festival,” commemorating the end of the Lunar New Year. This free, family-friendly festival—with numerous activities and performances traditionally associated with the end of the Lunar New Year— takes place Saturday, Feb. 4, 2017 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. “These events will bring cultures from both the East and West and our own community together,” says Charles Zhang, Symphony board member and founder of Pick-Up Stix and Zion Enterprises, who considers himself an ambassador for Orange County’s Chinese-American community, as well as the Symphony. “China has a unique culture and a long history that are both appealing to Americans. These events will allow everyone to learn about Chinese culture as we unite together.” The festivities begin with the Symphony’s first concert dedicated to the lunar holiday. “Chinese New Year: A Love Feast” is a colorful presentation of Eastern and Western music and dance ushering in the “Year of the Rooster” (according to the Chinese zodiac). “The program is an offering of incredible breadth, covering a wide spectrum of music, but mostly music that especially resonates for such a celebration,” says Maestro St.Clair. “One great wish I had for this concert was to do the fourth movement of Beethoven’s Ninth with a collective chorus. I felt that its message was absolutely the motto needed for such a joining of spirits and friends: that ‘all men should become brothers’ is exactly our hope for celebrating the Chinese New Year with our friends of the Chinese-American community. I am so very thankful that they have invited us to unite with them in such an important moment in their year.” The concert includes a variety of music to celebrate the beauty and wonder of the Chinese New Year, including “Butterfly Lovers Concerto” by He Zhanhao/Gang Chen and Hua Wu’s “Deep into the Night” featuring erhu master George Gao, and Li Huanzhi’s “Spring Festival Overture” and Debussy’s “Clair de Lune.” Accompanying the music are dance performances by Jill and Page 12
Amnon Damti, members of the Yaya Dance Academy, the Awakened Blessing Lion Dance Troupe of the JC Culture Foundation and the UC Irvine Department of Dance led by choreographer Tong Wang. Vocalists include Orson Van Gay II, Jessica Zhu and Gloria Xiong. The evening culminates in the inspirational “Ode to Joy” from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, featuring Pacific Chorale (John Alexander, artistic director) and the American Feel Young Chorus (Sam Wei-Chih Sun, artistic director). The concert flow has been designed by Yaya Zhang, an awardwinning artist with 20 years of stage performance, choreography and dance instruction experience, who graduated from the department of Folk Dance at the Secondary School of Beijing Dance Academy in 1999. Zhang received a B.A. in choreography from Beijing Dance Academy in 2003, and during her decade-long study at the Beijing Dance Academy, Zhang mastered many different Chinese ethnic folk dance traditions as well as sword, fan, ribbon and sleeve techniques. Before moving to the United States in 2007, she worked in many productions in China including musicals. She now teaches at several dance companies in Los Angeles and serves as artistic director of Yaya Dance Academy. In addition to the concert, Charles and Ling Zhang are hosting a special “Chinese New Year Celebration” on the Box Circle Level of the concert hall to raise additional funds for the Symphony’s artistic and education programs. Around 200 guests will enjoy an elegant cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m. followed by a formal dinner and entertainment provided by the award-winning Chinese pianist Fei-Fei Dong. LUILI crystal art will be on display, and the founders of LUILIGONGFANG—Loretta Yang, art director, and Chang Yi, creative director—will be in attendance as honored guests. A ticket to this event also includes a premiere ticket to the Chinese New Year concert, a VIP intermission reception and exclusive post-concert reception featuring guest artists. For more information and pricing, please contact Pacific Symphony’s special events department at (714) 876-2364 or email events@pacificsymphony. org. “Pacific Symphony is also looking forward to celebrating the ‘Year of the Rooster’ by welcoming the public to join us on Feb. 4 for our ‘2017 Lantern Festival,’ a Chinese festival dedicated to family, renewal and community that is celebrated around the world,” says Alison Levinson, the Symphony’s director of community arts participation. “We have once again partnered with the South Coast Chinese Cultural Association/Irvine Chinese School to co-present what is sure to be a fun and festive afternoon honoring Chinese culture, music and
The Newport News
the arts, and this important time of year for many within our community.” The “Lantern Festival” is the Symphony’s second annual event commemorating the end of the Lunar New Year, and takes place throughout the Symphony’s concert hall, with performances in the theater, activities in the lobby and interactive demonstrations in the studio performance space. The Lantern Festival is free and open to the public. This event is made possible through the support of The James Irvine Foundation, and is presented in cooperation with Segerstrom Center for the Arts, with additional support from the World Journal and the Taiwan Tourism Bureau. This year, we have expanded the festival to include more spaces within the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, more performing groups and more activities, giving guests the opportunity to customize their own experience! The Lantern Festival, which can be traced back 2,000 years, takes place 15 days after the Lunar New Year—on the first full moon night in the lunar calendar—and marks the return of spring, representing the reunion of family. Traditionally, the Lantern Festival is an act of lighting and appreciating lanterns as a way for people to let go of the burdens of their old selves and express their best wishes for their families for the future. “Regardless of whether the Lunar New Year celebration is part of your family’s cultural tradition, we encourage everyone to join us in learning more about the Lantern Festival and taking part in this festive time of year through music, the arts
and culture,” Levinson says. The Symphony’s Chinese New Year events are significant for a number of reasons. They serve as part of a series of free or low-cost community concerts and events within a multi-year initiative for the Symphony to engage local ChineseAmerican communities. This initiative has been funded in part by a grant from The James Irvine Foundation’s New California Arts Fund. Throughout the course of the grant period, the Symphony has focused on building partnerships with local organizations that serve ChineseAmericans, producing events in Chinese-American communities and encouraging Chinese-Americans to deepen their involvement with the Symphony as volunteers, donors and board members. Irvine Chinese School is part of South Coast Chinese Cultural Association, a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote Chinese language learning, to preserve Chinese heritage, to enhance the understanding of the value of Chinese culture and to advocate cultural diversity in America. Currently, Irvine Chinese School provides multiplelevel language classes for students from kindergarten to 12th grade and adults. For this special performance, Maestro St.Clair leads the orchestra as they are joined by an array of talented dancers and singers, including Pacific Chorale and a community chorus, for a program that is both a visual and aural wonder. Tickets range from $18-$88. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www. PacificSymphony.org.

Readers eagerly await her weekly column in the Newport News which features major charity events where the beautiful people
of Orange County gather for fashionable luncheons and dinners which regularly raise millions of dollars for worthy causes.
