THE PEDIATRIC CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE 20th ANNUAL ROD CAREW CHILDREN’S CANCER GOLF CLASSIC
The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation is honored to have Hall of Fame baseball great, Rod Carew, serve as the event’s host for the 20th consecutive year. This event alone has raised over $3 million in its 20 year history, all to find a cure for cancer. In honor of the 20th Anniversary, and with the help of businesses like yours, we plan to make a dramatic impact in the survival rates and the treatments for children. When the malignancy of cancer touches a child, it is particularly difficult to turn a blind eye. Being
connected to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation means you, as a business partner, are choosing to be a part of this community of cancer fighters. You can be confident that your resources are going to make a difference in the lives of children who have cancer. This dedication makes us a community that shares a vision of hope. Hope that for every parent who hears the words, “Your child has cancer,” the next statement is, “And we have a cure.” It just takes resources. This year’s 20th Annual Rod Carew Children’s Cancer Golf Classic will be held Monday, August 24, 2015 at Pelican Hill Golf Club. The tournament will be played on both courses. A traditional foursome scramble will be played on one course and a foursome
select drive (Shamble) will be played on the other course. The tournament will be played in foursomes with a shotgun start at 9:30AM. After tournament play enjoy a cocktail
reception and silent auction, followed by a celebratory dinner beginning at 5:00PM. Please consider how you or your organization might partner with us in 2015. Your support and participation are critical to providing hope for a brighter future for all the children and families facing pediatric cancer each day. Pelican Hill Golf Club 22800 Pelican Rd. South, Newport Coast, CA 92657. For more information or to register go to: www.pcrf-kids.org.

Sheriff Sandra Hutchens to Serve as Honorary Chair for Essentials Drive Today HomeAid Orange County, in partnership with the Children and Families Commission of Orange County, announced that Sheriff Sandra Hutchens will once again lead the Annual Essentials drive as Honorary Chair. The 8th annual campaign to collect diapers and other essential items for babies will take place the week before Mother’s Day, May 1 – 10, 2015. “We are honored to have Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens chairing our Essentials campaign for the fifth consecutive year. Sheriff Hutchens understands how important this donation drive is for homeless mothers and their infants in our
community. Her participation and the support of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department bring heightened awareness to this important cause,” said Scott Larson, Executive Director of HomeAid Orange County. Items collected will be distributed among providers who operate housing facilities built in partnership with HomeAid Orange County and serve homeless families. Essentials donations enable recipient agencies to save the funds normally spent on diapers, baby wipes, etc. for use on programs to help their clients achieve self sufficiency and to lead productive, independent lives. In just the first seven years of the campaign, items collected have grown from 100,000 items in the first year to over 1.2 million items last year. This year, the campaign has again set out to ensure that every baby in the HomeAid service provider network has essential items for one year, estimated at 1.2 million diapers and 2.4 million wipes. “I am pleased that our community continues to grow this important effort that helps to meet the needs of the most vulnerable in our community,” said Orange County Sheriff Sandra
Hutchens, Honorary Chair. “It is a privilege for the men and women of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department to participate in the Essentials campaign for the fifth consecutive year because we see firsthand how important a simple box of diapers is to so many Orange County families residing in local shelters. By joining with HomeAid and the Children and Families Commission, we can help remove some stress and anxiety that comes with temporary living situations.” Donation drop off locations will be located throughout Orange County. A complete list of drop off locations and additional information about the donation drive is available at www. homeaidessentials.org. HomeAid Orange County is the founding chapter of a national nonprofit organization with the vision and purpose to end homelessness. Through its mission of building new lives for homeless families and individuals through housing and community outreach, HomeAid, develops housing, advocates and provides service in the community to the homeless. Since 1989, HomeAid Orange
Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens County – founded by the Building Industry Association of Southern California’s Orange County Chapter, has developed 53 shelters with nearly 1,100 shelter beds throughout Orange County. HomeAid acts as the housing developer and liaison between ser vi ces provi der s, community volunteers, builders and specialty contractors. Tragically thousands are still in need of shelter each and every day. To help solve this social crisis, new housing developments are being planned and constructed throughout Orange County.

Photographer rights bill gets Senate nod
A bill that would clarify that it is legal for a person to take a photograph or make a recording of a police officer in a public place was passed by the Senate this week on an overwhelming, bi-partisan 31-3 vote. The measure, SB 411 by Senator Ricardo Lara (D-South Gate), would clarify that a person capturing the image or recording is in a place he or she has the right to be is not a violation of the law. The measure also provides that Page 4
The Newport News
capturing an image or making a recording does not constitute reasonable suspicion to detain a person or probable cause to arrest. SB 411 is supported by CNPA, the ACLU, the Conference of California Bar Associations and California Public Defenders, among others. SB 411 heads to the Assembly where it will likely be assigned to the Assembly Public Safety Committee.

Create an outdoor space that ‘ wows’
Whether you own a cozy cottage or mega mansion, as a homeowner, you likely embrace the outdoor living trend. But when you look at your deck or patio, does it leave something to be desired? By taking a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach, you can affordably create outdoor spaces that enhance the style and functionality of your home, plus add to the overall value of the property. Here are a few of the leading trends that the DIY homeowner can use to cost-effectively create an outdoor space that “wows:” Rent rather than buy Upgrading or adding a deck or patio can feel overwhelming unless you have the right equipment to do the job. Renting what you need saves money, plus helps you maximize your time so you can enjoy your new outdoor space sooner. From power washers and saws for cleaning and cutting, to utility loaders and tampers for digging and compacting base materials, you’ll find everything you need at your local American Rental Association member rental store. Visit www.RentalHQ.com for locations near you. Not sure what you need? The pros at the shop are specially trained and can help you choose the best time-saving tools for your project. Use pavers for patios Whether you’re looking to refresh your current patio space or are starting from scratch, patios are great ground-level entertainment spaces. More homeowners are opting for pavers to level and define the space, which adds elegant detail, rather than a bland concrete slab. Find pavers in varying shapes, sizes and colors at your local home improvement store. Remember, by digging and installing a base layer, your pavers are less likely to shift over time. Dig down and
compact base material with a rented plate compactor or a tamper before laying the pavers in the desired pattern. Define your deck If you’re adding a new deck, composite decking material is the way to go. While it costs a bit more than lumber, it lasts longer and is virtually maintenance-free, which will save you time and money in the long run. It’s just as easy to work with as wood and can be cut and assembled in a similar manner. If you simply want to refresh an existing wood deck, rent a power washer to quickly clean off dirt, grime and paint chips. Replace gray and tan paint with deep brown hues, which adds a subtle upscale appearance. Modern exterior paint lasts years and some options even fill cracks in wood, so look for a brand
that best suits your needs. Go native with greenery Adding plants to your outdoor space helps the area feel cohesive with nature. Not sure what to add? Whether for pots, containers or the surrounding landscaping, consider native lawn and plant materials. Not only will they look great and add color and depth to your outdoor space, but they are typically lower maintenance and many require less water. Explore options at your local garden center or state extension service’s website. Create an outdoor kitchen Homeowners want to enjoy more time outside and that means cooking and dining al fresco. While a basic barbecue grill will do, outdoor kitchens are in high demand. Building your own outdoor kitchen space is simple. Install countertops surrounding your
grill and consider incorporating features like a small fridge, gas burners for side items, smokers or built-in storage spaces for spices and cooking tools. Stainless steel continues to be the go-to material for outdoor kitchen features, blending modern style with the organic look of Mother Nature. Light the night The right lighting can take a good outdoor space and make it great. Solar lighting is trending for outdoor spaces, and this eco-friendly option is also affordable. Light pathways with solar landscape lighting - eliminating the need for electrical cords. Jazz up deck posts with post caps that provide a gentle glow. Finally, a string or two of white garden lights adds a twinkle to the beautiful ambiance of a summer evening.

WHALE WATCH THIS WEEKEND Only a few more weeks to see this Massive Migration
The Gray Whale makes the most spectacular and longest mass migration of any marine mammal.

March, & April. During the gray whale migration it is not uncommon to view 5 or more gray whales a cruise making for excellent viewing opportunities. Other varieties of whales including finback whales, humpback whales, and minke whales can also be viewed along with several species of dolphin. Just outside of Newport Bay is the beginning of one of the largest marine protected areas in southern
California created to protect this rich ecosystem for future generations. The marine sanctuary covers over 15 miles and provides a haven for all marine creatures including whales and dolphin.

Unique Culinary Event Draws Southern California’s Top Chefs Illumination Foundation hosted its annual “Table for 10” culinary extravaganza at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa in Anaheim. The sold-out, 300-guest affair attracted gourmet food and fine wine lovers from throughout Orange County for a culinary experience second to none. Guests enjoyed a scrumptious five-course tableside repast, with superb wine pairings, and tables uniquely decorated by each restaurant. The evening included a festive cocktail reception, where guests enjoyed Chefs Adam Navidi’s and Steve Buckhorn’s vertical salads from Oceans & Earth Restaurant in Yorba Linda. A big draw for guests was bidding blind on top-notch wines at the Wine Cork Pull Game, with most of the wines valued at more than $100. Committee member Kevin Trussel constructed the huge wooden wine wall holding the 300 wines. Sponsor Four Lanterns Winery poured its delicious wines throughout the reception, and guests bid on some incredible silent auction items. Sponsors generously offered their foods – Mixed Bakery’s mini banana bread loaves were a particular favorite – and Mickey and Minnie Mouse kept everyone amused posing for photos. Dinner costs were absorbed by the chefs and the restaurants, and all the other expenses were underwritten by Title Sponsors Disneyland Resort and Wells Fargo, and Presenting Sponsor PIMCO, allowing the $580,000 raised to benefit families served by Illumination Foundation. An anonymous donor generously matched the $185,000 raised for the Fund-A-Need portion of the auction. The following individuals were integral in creating the event: IF Co-Founder & CEO Paul Leon; IF Board Chairman and Disneyland Park Vice President Mary Niven; former IF Board Chairman and Vice President and Community Affairs Manager for Wells Fargo Community Relations Jack Toan; Event Director Kristin Martin; Silent Auction & Wine Pull Chair Kristin Epperson; Host Chefs: Disneyland Resort Executive Chef - Signature Dining Andrew Sutton and Disneyland Resort Chef de Cuisine Resort Banquets Ralph Stuhlmueller.

Your Credit Score: Updates You Should Know By Jason Alderman Credit scoring has evolved over the last three decades and this fall, FICO made one more important change. Borrowers who have struggled with medical debt and those with a limited credit history might see better FICO numbers in the future. Even if these situations don’t apply to you, understanding how credit scoring is changing can help you better manage your credit over time. FICO Score 9, rolled out last fall, is described as a more “nuanced” version of the original FICO Score that the leading credit scoring company introduced in 1989. It is offered by three major credit bureaus – Equifax (www.equifax.com), Experian (http:// www.experian.com) and TransUnion. (http://www.transunion.com). It now bypasses collection agency accounts and weighs medical debt differently than non-medical debt on a person’s credit record. Borrowers with a median score of 711 whose only negative credit data comes from medical collections will see their credit score go up 25 points under the new system. As for consumers with limited
credit histories – what the industry calls “thin files” – FICO says the new system will better determine the ability of someone in that situation to repay a debt. What doesn’t FICO 9 address? At this point, the latest credit-scoring model really doesn’t loosen or change requirements for mortgage and refinancing opportunities. Even so, there are many things ordinary borrowers can do to improve their credit scores and overall financial health over time. The first step is for borrowers to review each of their credit reports once a year. Credit reports and credit scores are two different things. Consider credit scores are a threedigit summary of creditworthiness; credit reports are the detailed record of a borrower’s credit history. Consumers can view each of their credit reports from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion once a year for free (www.annualcreditreport.com). Stagger receipt of each agency’s credit reports throughout the year to weed out any inconsistencies, inaccuracies, or worse, indications of fraudulent credit applications or
identity theft. Borrowers are seeing something else that’s new – some lenders are making the credit scores they apply to existing borrowers available for free. A few major lenders have taken part in the industry-only FICO Score Open Access Program, which lets current customers see the exact credit scoring data applied to them at no charge. FICO’s site doesn’t offer the names of participating lenders, but a customer should ask their lender if they are offering free scores through that program. Consumers should know how credit scores are compiled. FICO uses five key ingredients: • Payment history (35 percent) • Amounts owed (30 percent) • Length of credit history (15 percent) • New credit (10 percent) • Types of credit used (10 percent). Visit www.myfico.com for a list of tips for borrowers to improve their scores. Base FICO scores have a 300 to 850 score range, and though FICO doesn’t release what it considers good or bad scores, borrowers with excellent credit typically have scores
in the mid-700s and up. There are ways to preserve and raise existing credit scores. It might be wise for borrowers to ask if they can increase the credit limit on individual accounts while paying down existing balances on those accounts. Smart borrowers generally keep their outstanding balances at 30 percent or less of their available credit limit. Bottom line: Smart credit management starts with an understanding of one’s credit reports and credit scores.
Moms champion traditional toys even in a digital age As smartphones and tablets are more frequently finding their way into kids’ hands, many parents may wonder about the implications of increased screen time, and question what role traditional toys should play in their children’s lives. While there is no denying the benefits of digital devices and it is becoming commonplace for parents to pass their tablets to Junior, research shows many want to limit the time their kids spend on screens, large and small. Parents also actively encourage their kids to play with toys that may help them reach critical developmental milestones. So how have traditional toys stood the test of time? The various ways in which children play have remained largely unchanged throughout time. In many cases, technology can help amplify play by helping to introduce characters or tell a compelling story. When Mattel, the world’s largest toymaker, asked
moms their opinions about toys and technology, it found that even in a digital age, moms continue to place a high value on traditional toys. “Kids today are digital natives and are immersed in digital experiences,” says Dr. Michael Shore, vice president of Global Consumer Insights for Mattel. “However, when you walk into a child’s room and see what is visibly present and displayed on the shelves, you won’t see an app on the wall as an expression of who the child is, what he or she loves, or as markers of the childhood experience. For that, toys will continue to endure as ideal gifts for children. After all, you can’t wrap an app.” However, as experts and media debate whether digital devices will one day replace dolls, cars, trains and action figures, most moms do not think smart digital devices and traditional toys directly compete with one another as a source of kids’ entertainment. Rather, each category remains fundamentally different. While 75 percent of kids today play with devices like smartphones and tablets, Mattel’s research found the time they spend with these devices actually competes with the time they spend with other screens, such as televisions and computers. In fact, 59 percent of moms felt that
smart portable devices will one day replace other electronic devices, not traditional toys. According to Mattel’s findings, moms frequently associate toys with social activities since toys are often used to play with others, whereas digital devices are generally associated with solo play (for example, keeping a child entertained when waiting at the doctor’s office or on a long car ride). Moms also credit toys with providing opportunities for active play that allow kids to exercise and burn off energy. Further, moms see toys as a great way to help kids spark their imaginations and flex their creative muscles. Knowing that the leaders of tomorrow will be those who think differently and solve problems in new ways, imagination is more important than ever before. Dr. Shore offers some tips for using play as a catalyst for fostering imagination and creativity: Make sure your kids have time to play. In an increasingly overscheduled world with a variety of things competing for kids’ time, it is easy to overlook the importance of dedicating time just for play. Give your child the time and space to play, and watch his or her imagination soar.
Provide a safe place to play and tools for play. Consider starting a play group in your neighborhood or hosting play dates at your home or local playground. Bring out the toy chest and see what games the kids can create when they play together. Encourage your kids to play with all that’s available - including their imaginations. Two of the most important tools for play are toys and an imagination. Help your children dream beyond what they see on screen and encourage them to bring those cartoon characters to life using their toys and imaginations. Get involved and play with your kids. Don’t forget that play is good for grown-ups too. Everyone loves a good old-fashioned tea party or toy car race down the hall. Playing together is one of the most fun and meaningful ways for parents and children to bond and foster creative thinking for both of you.

Spring has sprung: tips for getting outside to play After being cooped up during winter, families are eager for warmer weather so they can get outside and play. Research shows that play is an important part of children’s physical, emotional and intellectual development. With spring upon us, now is a great time to make play and outside activity part of your family’s regular routine. Here are some ideas: * Remember, every little bit helps Active play is an important part of keeping families happy and healthy. In fact, childhood obesity increases 29 percent in neighborhoods without a park or playground, according to KaBOOM!, a national non-profit dedicated to ensuring that all children get the balance of active play they need. Instead of driving to your local playground or park, walk or bike, to get in an extra dose of activity. Every little bit helps in keeping your kids growing up strong - physically, emotionally and intellectually. * Keep imagination at the forefront Kids can do anything they put their minds to, and they can keep themselves busy for hours with just
their imaginations. Bring that power to your next outdoor adventure by creating a make-believe obstacle course based on their favorite book or movie at your local play area. Get other kids involved and become the MVP of playtime. * Pledge to be active Staying active on a consistent basis is key to achieving a balanced lifestyle. Let’s Play, a community partnership led by Dr Pepper Snapple Group to get kids and families active, provides a host of tools, places and inspiration to make play a daily priority. Visit www.LetsPlay.com for a wealth of ideas to incorporate play into your day, and take the Let’s Play Pledge to devote additional playtime each week to your family’s routine. * It’s all about balance Playtime takes a lot of energy, so make sure your kids are armed with healthy and nutritious nibbles to replenish their growing minds and bodies. Fruits, veggies, applesauce, whole grains and snack-size cheese are great after-play snacks. Make sure kids are also staying hydrated to keep their energy levels up throughout the day.
