ACTION STAR BRUCE WILLIS SELLS SUN VALLEY SKI HOME!

Bruce Willis has something new to remember for 2018 - the sale of the home he has had on the market since 2011. Though he bought it in 2003 for less than its final sale price of $5.5 million, a sales record in the Hailey, Idaho area, it was an excruciating drop from its original list price of $15 million. In the last 15 years, Willis rebuilt the main house, added a guest house, gym, streams and ponds and paid years of property taxes, so whether he made profit, broke even or took a loss is not known. For Willis, no longer having to worry about finding a buyer or upkeep is likely worth the outcome.

No stranger to collecting exceptional real estate, Willis has been buying and selling homes for years. He has owned a number of homes in the Los Angeles area, Idaho, apartments in Manhattan and most recently purchased a mansion in Bedford, New York. As more and more of Hollywood’s actors segue into buying and flipping real estate, Willis is near the top of the list. In recent years, he has been gravitating towards more real estate activity on the East Coast.

Sited on 20 acres between Hailey

Page 4

and Ketchum on Flying Heart Lake, the compound is completely private with thick woodlands with multiple ponds and streams. The 8,403-square-foot home is a six-bedroom, seven-bath log house with heated terraces, balconies and driveway. Inside there are vaulted ceilings, views of Flying Heart Lake and the mountains, three fireplaces, and large gourmet kitchen.

The 2,200-square-foot master suite has a fireplace and sitting area with jetted soaking tub, granite steam shower and large walk-in closet and dressing room with built-in dressers and shelving. Outside is a resort-size heated swimming pool with waterfalls and slides. Skiing, hiking, biking, live music and theater are only minutes away from the gated, secure property.

Since gaining his spot as one of America’s favorite actors with the five television seasons of Moonlighting, Willis has continued making popular box office films, acted on Broadway and branched into singing and recorded an album. His Die Hard trilogy of films gained him the moniker “action hero,” which will likely stay with him forever. Never slowing down with four new films this year and three

in various stages of production for 2019 with an additional one rumored, one wonders if he ever has a chance to visit any of his lovely collection of homes.

After a decade on the market, Bruce Willis’s Idaho nature retreat has finally sold, thanks to his new hero, listing agent, Travis Jones of

Engel & Volkers,Ketchum, Idaho.

Originally listed in 2011 for $15 million, with brokerage changes and price changes through the years, the final list price was $5.895 million and it sold for $5.495 million.

The days leading up to the holidays tend to be among the busiest of the year, with lots of celebrations taking place over a few short weeks.

If you’re hosting a holiday celebration of your own, you’re following a national trend. Statista reports some 59 percent of Americans anticipate spending on holiday entertaining this year. That said, it’s important not to let your party planning become so stressful, time consuming or pricey that it interferes with your enjoyment of the season itself.

Don’t worry. Preparing for a holiday bash doesn’t need to be hugely expensive or overwhelming if you can enlist help for some of the busywork and outsource some of the key elements. Consider the following ideas for bringing friends and family together this year without having to micromanage either your budget or the logistical details. * Enlist a crew of friends and family members to help with the precleaning, prep, cooking, bartending and final clean-up. Many hands make light work, and working toward

a common goal can be a fun part of the gathering itself. * Instead of investing in your own serving ware and glassware, simply head to your nearest party rental store and check off all your needed supplies. The result will be far more elegant than opting for disposable paper products, and you need not worry about how and where you’ll store all those pieces afterward. * Worried that your limited furniture collection won’t allow guests to fully relax? Instead of buying something new, think about renting some of the fun, comfortable and designforward seating groups now available for rental. Today’s options go way beyond traditional folding chairs to encompass cocktail tables, rugs, lighting elements, bars and fully configurable sectionals and lounges, many of which can be used inside or out. * To take your party theme a step further, consider the fun of renting a full-sized backdrop that sets the stage while providing a prime selfie opportunity for your guests. Festive

settings range from barns to castles to famous landmarks to cityscapes to breathtaking scenes from nature. * Hire a local caterer for your refreshments, or just contract for an attention-grabbing main course. Keep it simple with a traditional meal or opt for a local specialty. * Simplify the entertainment and/ or dance music by creating a party playlist on your smartphone ahead of time, then hooking it up to your own speakers. * Finally, don’t discount the idea of holding your party at a restaurant or rented event venue. That saves you from time-consuming preparations and cleanup, shifts the liability elsewhere and lets guests come and go at their discretion.

Celebrating the holiday season with friends and family can become cost-effective and hassle-free when you turn to a rental store for help.

ELKS VISIT HOUSE OF HOPE BRINGING HOLIDAY JOY

By Derek Randles The Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Elks had their 5th annual Christmas Decorating Party at the Orange County Rescue Mission House of Hope for single women with children. There are 20 ladies and 19 children at the facility this year. When the Elks Helpers arrived, they were there in time for pizza with the families. After filling their bellies, the visitors helped the little ones – and some of the bigger ones – hang the ornaments on the 14 foot tall tree. Derek Randles PER and Michael Long PER held the ladders while the kids made it a contest to see who could go the highest on the ladder and get to the very top of the tree. Leading Knight Jamie Camunas and Chaplain Cindy Wooten helped the kids pick out the right ornament for the tree decorating. Dennis Lumley took the pictures of the event and families while Laura Lumley, Vicky Long, and Orange Elk Stacy Emery printed all of the pictures and put them into Christmas frames to provide them to the families. During the tree decorating, strange noises were

Elks volunteers at House of Hope front row L to R: Vick Long, Jamie Camunas, and Orange member Stacy Emery. Seated L to R: Mike Long, laura Lumley, Pam Mackey, Ed Mackey, Derek Randles, and Dennis Lumley

heard on the roof. Derek and Stacy ran in with the exciting news that SANTA had arrived. Elks member Pamela Mackey and her husband Ed provided the Santa and Mrs. Claus holiday cheer all while the children followed Santa around the house asking very interesting questions.

Followed by many hugs, the Claus’s sat down to listen to every child and

provide each with one toy or fun item that night.

The evening wrapped up with the Elks volunteers finishing the printing of all of the pictures. Stephanie Bongartz and Derek Randles PER started this program five years ago assisting these families with help during the holidays. The Elks will return prior to Christmas to provide

a 5 foot tall stocking to every mother and child. The huge stockings will include both gifts and gas/food gift cards that are also needed for necessities. The Mission Viejo Elks Charitable Committee in conjunction with the Elks National Foundation (ENF) Gratitude Grant provided the funding for this event.

PACIFIC CHORALE ANNOUNCES SINGER AUDITIONS FOR 2019–2020 SEASON

Pacific Chorale, resident chorus at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, today announced upcoming auditions for prospective volunteer singers.

Auditions will be held January 20–26, 2019 by prior appointment only.

Prospective singers are requested to visit Pacific Chorale’s web site at pacificchorale.org/auditions to learn about the audition process, then to submit their information via the online form provided to schedule an audition time. Rehearsals for the fall begin in September, although singers are also encouraged to participate in Pacific Chorale’s Festival Chorus in August 2019. The 140-voice ensemble will present its own concert season at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall conducted by Artistic Director Robert Istad, as well as appearing as the guest chorus in several performances presented by Pacific Symphony.

While applications are being accepted for both volunteer and paid positions with Pacific Chorale, this year’s auditions are primarily focused on proficient volunteer singers.

Volunteer members of the Chorale hail from a broad range of backgrounds and career fields, but share a love for and extensive experience performing choral music. Volunteers have the opportunity to participate in both self-produced and contracted engagements calling for larger groups of singers. Pacific Chorale members enjoy a wide variety of challenging and stimulating repertoire and performance opportunities, including world and West Coast premieres and

guest appearances with prominent ensembles and artists.

ABOUT ROBERT ISTAD Dr. Robert Istad has served as Pacific Chorale’s Artistic Director since July 1, 2017. He has prepared choruses for many of the world’s leading orchestral conductors, and has been featured on a number of recordings including The John Williams Collection on Sony Classical and Nostos: The Homecoming of Music on Yarlung Records. He continues in his role as Professor of Music, Director of Choral Studies, California State University, Fullerton.

He is also serving as the President of the California Choral Directors Association and was recently elected to the board of directors of the national choral industry’s association, Chorus America.

ABOUT PACIFIC CHORALE Pacific Chorale has delighted national and international audiences with concerts of great choral music performed at the highest musical standards since 1968. Under the artistic leadership of Robert Istad, the organization produces a series of concerts each year at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, where it serves as the sole resident choir. The mission of Pacific Chorale is to inspire our community through artistry and innovation in choral music performances and education programs.

Pacific Chorale is recognized for exceptional artistic expression, preserving and performing classical choral music as well as stimulating

American-focused programming.

Pacific Chorale presents a substantial performance season of its own and is sought regularly to perform with the nation’s leading symphonies.

Pacific Chorale has infused an Old World art form with California’s hallmark innovation and cultural independence, developing innovative new concepts in programming, and expanding the traditional concepts of choral repertoire and performance.

The organization boasts over 30 world premieres and has released 14 self-produced recordings.

In addition to its long-standing partnership with Pacific Symphony, with whom Pacific Chorale made its Carnegie Hall debut in April 2018, the Chorale has performed with such

renowned American ensembles as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, the National Symphony, San Diego Symphony, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and Musica Angelica.

Pacific Chorale has also toured extensively to more than 19 countries in Europe, South America and Asia, and has collaborated with the London Symphony, the Munich Symphony, L’Orchestre Lamoureux and L’Orchestre de St-Louis-en-l’Île of Paris, the National Orchestra of Belgium, the China National Symphony, the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, the Estonian National Symphony, and the Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional of Argentina.

2019 PAGEANT OF THE MASTERS TICKETS ON SALE NOW

Tickets for the much-anticipated 2019 Pageant of the Masters are on sale now and make the perfect holiday present for art lovers and entertainmentseekers. Share the timeless gift of “living pictures” with tickets to next summer’s production The Time Machine. Tickets are available for purchase online www.foapom.com/time-machine-tickets/ or by calling (800) 487-3378.

The 2019 Pageant of the Masters, The Time Machine, will take audiences around the globe and into the past, present, and future in search of great art and amazing stories. Taking its cues from science fiction and steampunk fantasies, The Time Machine will be a ticket to thrills, laughter, beautiful music and extraordinary living art under the stars.

Pageant of the Masters producer/director Diane Challis Davy is thrilled with the staging and storytelling possibilities for next summer’s The Time Machine. “I was inspired by H.G. Wells’ novel, and we intend to conjure up a collection of artists who imagined and re-created scenes from the past and future,” she said.

“Look at the works of artists like Jean-Leon Gerome and Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema,” Challis Davy continued. “They were both obsessed with re-imagining the glamour and sensuality of history.

Their works tell us as much about their era as they reveal the spectacle of the ancient empires they sought to dramatize. We hope The Time Machine will become a mysterious journey through time and space, and art. Of course, there’ll be no shortage of surprises along the way, perhaps a few pop-culture cameo appearances.”

The Pageant of the Masters has been a Laguna Beach tradition since the 1930’s and now attracts over 140,000 patrons every summer. In preparation for The Time Machine, Challis Davy is once again summoning her creative energies and inspiring her talented team of theatrical artists as they breathe

life into this one-of-a-kind entertainment. Each night during the summer season, the Pageant presents spectacular stage illusions with original, live music performed by a professional orchestra and informative, engaging live narration under the stars.

“At its core, The Time Machine will focus on the ways in which art reveals and reflects the world in which it was created,” said veteran scriptwriter Dan Duling. “When we look at works by artists like Leonardo da Vinci or Johannes Vermeer, they provide us with invaluable clues to better understand life in their times.”

As always, Challis Davy and the team of artists and technicians realize the Pageant wouldn’t be possible without the volunteers who return year after year to take part. Challis Davy offered a final, thoughtful observation: “The Pageant has always

been a kind of time machine for us, allowing us to venture to different eras, different corners of the globe, and even to speculate about what the future may hold. Next summer’s Pageant will be unlike any you’ve seen before.”

The 2019 Pageant of the Masters, The Time Machine, runs July 7 – August 31, 2019. Advance tickets start at $15 per person and are on sale now.

A Pageant ticket is also a season pass to the 2019 Festival of Arts Fine Art Show, which will take place July 5 – August 31, 2019.

Society Scene by

Kelly Bennett Exclusively for the Coto de Caza News

THE MIRACLE OF MAGIC RAISES NEARLY $1.3 MILLION TO SUPPORT CHILDREN The Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point was the scene for the Miracles for Kids Annual Night of Miracles Gala: The Miracle of Magic where nearly 500 of Southern California’s most generous philanthropists, business and civic leaders gathered to raise funds to benefit families with critically-ill children.

This year, guests made the biggest impact in the nonprofit’s 16-year history, raising nearly $1.3 million.

“Words cannot express our gratitude to the incredible community of friends, donors, volunteers and sponsors who help make miracles happen at Miracles for Kids every day of the year,” said Autumn Strier, Co-founder and CEO of Miracles for Kids.

The Fund-a-Family portion of the evening raised $700K of the $1.3 million during which guests raise their paddle to donate at various levels that range from $100K to $100. In an exciting and unexpected moment, four $100K donations were gifted by generous supporters.

A gourmet dinner and signature cocktails from custom bars by longtime sponsors NOLET’S Silver Gin, Ketel One Family Made Vodka, and Duke Spirits kept the guests satisfied. Further adding to the excitement of the evening was the Opportunity Drawing for the chance to win a pair of White Gold Diamond Earrings containing 370 round diamonds weighing 9.06CTS with a retail value of $18,500 – generously donated by the Night of Miracles Gala exclusive jewelry sponsor, Martin Katz. The lucky winning guest, Brian Hill, took home the opportunity item after purchasing just a handful of tickets for $100 each.

Guests continued to raise their paddles during the lively and highly anticipated live auction. Top items included a Telluride Ski Resort Package and a Vintner Hosted Wine Connoisseur’s Getaway with Private Air, which were each generously donated by Orange County locals and company owners - Chad Horning of Telluride Ski & Golf Resort and Steve and Seanne Contursi of Arrow&Branch. These top packages sold for $26,000 and $20,000 respectively. Another exciting live auction item of note was a Heisman House Football Weekend with ESPN SportsCenter Co-Anchor Neil Everett and other ESPN on air talent – a unique package donated by Miracles for Kids Ambassador and long-time friend, Neil Everett, who also donated his time as the evening’s Emcee and Master of Ceremonies. The live auction was rounded out with a VIP Hollywood Package to the Movie Premiere of Captain Marvel, a Whisky, Wine & Craft Beer Experience in San Luis Obispo, a Luxury Getaway to Kiawah Island in South Carolina, a $10,000 Custom Wardrobe by Celebrity Clothier David August, a Toy Poodle Puppy, and a thrilling Robb Report Car of the Year Napa Experience!

The magical evening was also filled with mesmerizing entertainment by award-winning recording artist and Broadway star, Crystal Starr, and acclaimed illusionist and resident magician at the Wynn Resort & Casino, ShimShi – who was also the last magician standing on the 2008 season of NBC’s America’s Got Talent. Guests were also treated to up-close magic and sleight-of-hand by some of country’s best magicians from the worldfamous Magic Castle.

Joe Perricone, Chairman of Perricone Farms, was named the 2018 Miracle Maker Honoree, the nonprofit’s highest community honor. Under Mr. Perricone’s leadership, Perricone Farms – one of the nation’s largest citrus growers and the biggest supplier of freshly squeezed orange juice in the western United States – has shown incredible support for Miracles for Kids’ mission and families in need, including launching the company’s Home Runs for Kids Program, which raised over $50,000 through their pledge to donate $250 for every home run hit by the Los Angeles Angels during the 2017-2018 season.

The gala also honored the Moises Alvares and his family, who are currently residing at Miracle Manor, Miracles for Kids’ affordable housing program located near CHOC Children’s in Orange. Moises’ story embodies the many challenges faced by families fighting a life-threatening illness. Moises was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in 2015, and continues to battle the disease.

His story highlights his fight and Miracles for Kids’ financial and emotional support throughout his inspiring journey.

Miracles for Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving children with life-threatening illnesses and the families that care for them. By operating programs that provide financial aid, basic needs and wellness to patients and their families, Miracles for Kids creates stability when families are crumbling from the financial and emotional devastation of fighting for their child’s life. Founded in 2002, Miracles for Kids is based in Tustin, CA. For more information, please visit https://miraclesforkids.org/.

HOW A HEALTHY TUMMY CAN BE GOOD FOR YOUR WELL-BEING

Whether it’s eating too many slices of pizza or constantly getting takeout, most of us have slipped on our good eating habits at one time or another. But is avoiding unhealthy foods enough to keep our bodies in top shape?

While gut health is not something many people consider, Mayo Clinic experts agree that it is important to pay attention to as it can affect your overall well-being. Here’s what you need to know about your gut and how it concerns your health.

Hundreds of different bacteria

species live in your gut The lining of your gut is covered in bacteria, and these organisms create a micro-ecosystem called the microbiome. Before you stare at your stomach in horror, know that many of these bacteria species are good for you and should be nurtured with specialized plant fibers called prebiotics.

Prebiotics encourage healthy bacteria growth and can be easily incorporated into your diet, as they are found in many fruits and vegetables. Look for foods containing

complex carbohydrates, which can’t be digested by the body and instead become food for the healthy bacteria living in your gut.

Probiotics offer another way to help maintain a healthy balance of good bacteria living in the gut. The difference with probiotics is that they actually contain live organisms.

Instead of nurturing healthy bacteria, probiotics add specific strains of healthy bacteria to your microbiome.

Probiotics can be found in foods like yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut.

Kombucha is also a good source of probiotics.

You can also find prebiotic and probiotic supplements designed to help with specific conditions.

Consult your doctor before adding supplements to your diet.

A healthy gut may be connected to weight loss The benefits of a healthy gut are still being studied, and more research is needed to confirm how a healthy gut contributes to weight loss. In a preliminary study, Mayo Clinic collected and analyzed gut bacteria samples from a group of 26 participants enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Obesity Treatment Research Program. The research team found that those who did not lose weight had

different gut bacteria than those who did. Dr. Purna Kashyap, a Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist and co-author of the study, says that these findings “suggested to us that gut bacteria may possibly be an important determinant of weight loss in response to diet and lifestyle changes.”

Poor gut health can exacerbate certain autoimmune disorders While there are species of healthy bacteria living in your gut, some species in the microbiome are not helpful. Having an imbalance of the two can lead to poor gut health, which can then exacerbate certain autoimmune disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

Improving your diet is the best way to foster healthy gut bacteria.

Along with eating more fruits and vegetables, eliminate as much processed foods and added sugar as possible. It’s also a good idea to reduce meat consumption and to incorporate alternative proteins such as legumes, tofu and nuts into your diet.

By improving your gut health, you have the potential to boost your overall well-being. Learn more about the benefits of healthy gut bacteria by visiting us at mayoclinic.org. - (BPT)

5 TIPS FOR HOLIDAY ROAD TRAVEL If you’re planning to travel for the holidays this year, you’re not alone.

Over 107 million people traveled last year for the holidays, according to estimates from the American Automobile Association (AAA), and more than 97 million of them did so along the nation’s highways. If you plan to join them this year, traffic and potholes aren’t the only potential problems you’ll need to navigate.

Weather can also be a challenge during the holidays. According to the Federal Highway Administration, over 70 percent of the roads in the United States are located in snowy regions, which receive five inches of snow or

Page 16

more, on average each year.

The holidays are stressful enough, so with that in mind, Cooper Tires offers you these winter driving maintenance tips to be sure your car is ready for whatever the holiday roads have in store. Like every other aspect of your holiday celebrations, your car - and its tires - will benefit from a little preplanning.

1. Give your car a quick checkup.

This is a great time to ensure all of your vehicle’s fluid levels are up to par - oil, windshield washer fluid, etc.

You don’t want to be stuck without windshield washer fluid if snowy slush gets sprayed onto your windshield.

The Coto de Caza News

This is also a good time to test your battery to see that it is still in working order. You can find how-to guides online for any of these tasks, and if you’re uncomfortable doing this yourself, you can also take your car to your mechanic for a quick inspection.

2. Be sure your tire tread is in good shape. When it comes to winter weather driving, a general rule is that the more tread depth, the better. A tire’s minimum tread depth should be more than 2/32 of an inch deep all around the tire. You can check your tread depth by inserting the edge of a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head down, and facing you. If the top of Lincoln’s head is covered by tread, there is at least a minimum amount of tread left. If the top of his head is visible at any point around the tire, it’s time for a replacement. While you’re examining the tread, you can also look for signs of uneven wear or damage such as cuts, cracks, splits, punctures and bulges. These conditions shorten the life of tires or even cause tire failure.

3. Have the right tires for your needs.

While all-season tires are a great choice for many people, if you live in an area that routinely experiences extremely cold temperatures and/or heavy snowfall - or plan to travel to one during the holidays - you should add winter tires to your vehicle.

Winter tires are specifically designed to improve braking and handling on snow and ice. The Discoverer True North™ winter tire from Cooper Tires

is designed to provide the perfect combination of control and handling for confident winter driving, while maintaining a tight grip to the road in cold weather conditions. This helps allow you to keep excellent control while driving in any winter conditions, and also maintain a smooth, quiet and comfortable ride.

4. Pack an emergency kit in your car. Depending on where you are traveling, the road may take you through areas that aren’t so populated.

And if your car breaks down in one of these areas, finding help can be difficult. Your kit should include water, a blanket, a battery-powered phone, some non-perishable food, a first-aid kit and the tools you would need to change a tire.

5. Prepare for the weather. Winter weather can be unpredictable, and the last thing you want to do is feel like you are racing somewhere so as not to be late. Driving in ice or snow is an everyday part of life for the owners of more than 250 million vehicles across the country, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. If you will be among them, allow extra time in your holiday plans so that you can drive slower in bad weather or even pull over and spend the night in a hotel if necessary. Remember: It’s more important that everyone show up for the holiday festivities rather than when they show up.

SAWDUST ART & CRAFT FESTIVAL GOING ON NOW

Until December 18, the 26th Annual Winter Fantasy at the Sawdust Art & Craft Festival is a one-of-a-kind holiday art and crafts festival that offers a unique holiday shopping experience, highlighted by distinctive, hand-made art created by more than 175 artisans who create, showcase and sell their original, handcrafted artwork in an enchanting outdoor winter wonderland in Laguna Canyon.

Transformed into a winter wonderland with a frosty-white and silver theme this year, Winter Fantasy is completely different from the summer festival—the artists are different, and the gifts for purchase will be available in every price range.

Special holiday highlights include the Toys for Tots holiday toy drive, Children’s Holiday Playhouse, magicians, puppeteers, holiday carolers, thousands of lights and holiday decorations, music of all genres, a miniature train-village installation and Santa! Additionally, Winter Fantasy has four outdoor cafés, an espresso bar, a popcorn booth and the Sawdust Saloon.

Presale tickets are available on the website: $8.00 for adults, $6.00 for seniors (65+), and $4.00 for children (6–12). Children 5 and under are free.

For more information, as well as a comprehensive list of events and special features at this year’s winter festival, please visit www. sawdustartfestival.org.

About Sawdust Art & Craft Festival:

Founded in 1967, the Sawdust Art & Craft Festival is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public and promoting art created in Laguna Beach. Best known for offering two highly attended seasonal festivals, the organization also hosts a variety of workshops and classes throughout the year. Sawdust’s legendary summer festival is a nineweek summer celebration of fine art and craft – the largest in Southern California – with more than 200 Laguna Beach artists who exhibit and sell their original art and handcrafted items. The festival also offers live entertainment, artist demonstrations, hands-on art workshops for all ages, and a variety of food & drink offerings.

Sawdust’s Annual Winter Fantasy Festival occurs for five weekends leading up to the holiday season, and boasts an international collection of over 175 artisans who create, showcase, and sell their original, handcrafted artwork on the Sawdust grounds, which are lavishly decorated to resemble a winter wonderland.

Special activities include “Winter Art Series” classes, where guests can create holiday-themed works, and a highly anticipated Annual Community Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Throughout the remainder of the year, the organization continues to provide its Sawdust Art Classes in a variety of mediums, on-site and offsite. For more information, visit: www. sawdustartfestival.org.

‘TIS THE SEASON TO GET THE HOME READY FOR HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING Smart tips to prepare the kitchen and dining room for holiday entertaining As the year winds down, social calendars fill up with merriment-filled gatherings among friends and family.

When hosting a seasonal gathering at home, being proactive can help streamline tasks and reduce stress.

From whipping up a feast to toasting in the New Year, here are five ideas for getting the heart of the home - the kitchen and dining spaces - ready for holiday entertaining.

Simplify measurements Chopped veggies and premeasured ingredients can streamline any cooking adventure and save precious time. Fill the fridge and pantry with ready-to-go items as much as possible and consider smart kitchen enhancements that make measuring a breeze. For example, the Beale MeasureFill touch kitchen faucet from American Standard provides an adjustable set amount of water on demand, giving holiday cooks the precise measurement faster than using conventional measuring cups.

Plus, the easy touch on/off feature is ideal when hands are full or dirty; to operate, just touch it with the wrist or the back of the hand.

Prepare meal necessities To create a holiday table worthy of a magazine spread, prepare all the plates, platters and servingware needed beforehand. This is a good time to take stock of place settings, too. (Important tip: Have an extra setting or two available for last-minute RSVPs or unexpected guests.)

Whether it’s a buffet-style meal or multi-course sit-down dinner, make sure to have enough serving utensils for everything on the menu, from appetizers to desserts.

Stock all washing spaces Baking, cooking and entertaining tasks generate dirty dishes for days, so get wash spaces ready with fresh sponges, plenty of soap, drying racks and towels. Rotate between washing and cooking to eliminate a big mess at the end of entertaining. To ease the task of hand-washing large dishes, consider installing a sizable sink that also updates the kitchen’s style.

The handcrafted Pekoe apron-front kitchen sink from American Standard has a generously-sized single basin to accommodate large pots and pans; plus, the 18-gauge stainless steel material is stain-, heat- and chip-resistant.

Create clean, comfortable spaces Clear clutter from common spaces where guests will be congregating for refreshments, meals and more.

Focus on the dining room where guests will toast to a merry holiday, but don’t forget the kitchen for visitors who might want to pitch in or provide good cheer and holiday conversation during last-minute meal preparations.

Add extra chairs and seating as well as leaves to extend tables so there’s plenty of room for everyone and all the delicious foods that will be served. The goal is for people to feel comfortably cozy without being overcrowded.

Manage multitasking Multitasking is a must for big entertaining events. While appetizers are in the oven, wash a few dishes.

When the main course is simmering, mingle with guests. To maximize time in the kitchen, think about enhancements that allow multitasking with ease, such as the K7 semiprofessional faucet with foot control technology from GROHE. Busy or dirty hands? No problem. Turn the

water flow on and off with a tap of the foot on an activation plate installed discreetly in the toe space of the kitchen cabinet. This allows more to get done easily, while helping prevent the spread of germs.

Holiday entertaining is simplified with a few modern home updates and smart cooking tricks. By focusing on the heart of the home, everyone will have a joyous season - especially the host or hostess. - (BPT)

EIGHT STEPS TO PERFECT HOLIDAY COOKIES

The time-honored popularity of holiday cookie baking remains strong even in today’s grab-and-go society.

“Most of us are looking for ways to simplify the holiday hubbub, and focus on activities that truly have meaning for our families,” says Ginny Bean, publisher of Ginny’s catalog and Ginnys.com. Bean, who fondly recalls baking holiday cookies with her mother and her three sons, offers the following easy tips for your own holiday cookie baking tradition. * Get organized. Read the recipe thoroughly. Gather your ingredients before even turning on the stove to make sure that you haven’t forgotten anything that would require an

unanticipated trip to the store. * Keep it simple. Bean recommends starting with this good, basic dough recipe and adding different ingredients to customize the taste and texture to personal preferences: Cream 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar until fluffy.

Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until well mixed.

In separate bowl, whisk 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda together, then add slowly to creamed mixture, beating until combined.

“There’s almost no end to what you can do to this dough,” says Bean. “Get creative and experiment with different mix-ins like lemon peel, pumpkin pie spice, even instant coffee, or substitute toffee or peppermint chips for traditional chocolate and butterscotch.” * Use the right fat. Some cookie recipes only achieve their best flavor and texture with butter. Hopefully, those recipes will specify “butter only; no substitutes.” Recipes calling for butter or margarine will produce good results with either, as long as you use a margarine that contains at least 80 percent vegetable oil.

Check the nutrition label. The margarine should have 100 calories per tablespoon. Margarines with less than 80 percent vegetable oil have high water content and can result in tough cookies that spread

excessively, stick to the pan, or don’t brown well. * Measure accurately. Metal or plastic measuring cups are intended for dry ingredients such as flour and sugar. When measuring flour, stir it in the canister to lighten it and then gently spoon into a dry measuring cup and level the top with the straight edge of a knife.

Glass or plastic cups with spouts are meant only for liquids. If you use a liquid measuring cup for flour, you’re likely to get an extra tablespoon or more of flour per cup, enough to make cookies dry. * Chill dough properly. The chilling time given in a recipe is the optimum time for easy rolling and shaping. If you need to speed up chilling, wrap the dough and place it in the freezer.

Twenty minutes of chilling in the freezer is equal to about one hour in the refrigerator. * Use a powerful mixer. An electric stand mixer is the best way to mix heavy cookie dough. With a handheld mixer, you’ll probably end up needing to stir in flour by hand, which can be a nightmare. * Choose the right cookie sheets.

Look for shiny, heavy-gauge cookie sheets with very low or no sides.

Dark cookie sheets can cause cookie bottoms to overbrown, and cookies won’t bake evenly in a pan with an edge.

Insulated cookie sheets tend to yield pale cookies with soft centers.

If you use them, don’t bake cookies long enough to brown on the bottom because the rest of the cookie may get too dry.

Nonstick cookie sheets let you skip the greasing step. But the dough may not spread as much, resulting in thicker, less crisp cookies. Unless specified otherwise, a light greasing with shortening or quick spray with nonstick spray coating is adequate for most recipes. * Know your oven. Experiment with the temperature of your oven.

If your oven typically cooks items faster than the recipe calls for, adjust accordingly. Don’t bake cookies for too long. They should be light brown around the edges and look a little underdone when they come out. Keep in mind that cookies will continue to cook from the heat of the cookie sheet after you remove them from the oven.

Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet initially and then transfer them to a wire rack once they can be lifted with a spatula without breaking them.

Once they are cooled completely, you can decorate them or store directly in an airtight container.

FUN OR FANTASY? HOW TO KNOW IF A VIDEO GAME IS RIGHT FOR YOUR CHILD If you are like most Americans, you have computer and video game fans in your home. However, as a parent, it is not always easy to decide if a popular video game is right for your child. That is where ratings and parental controls can help.

Understanding what a particular video game entails is especially important as the holiday gift-giving season approaches. A friend or relative might buy your child the “it” game with good intentions while not realizing it is meant for older, more mature gamers. In the end, it is the parent’s responsibility to determine if a game is appropriate or should be exchanged for another option.

Clear ratings and parental controls on devices make it easy for parents to select the right games for their kids. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is a nonprofit organization that empowers consumers to make informed choices about appropriate video games through its rating system and other tools. ESRB ratings are printed on video game packages to clearly tell parents what games are appropriate for what age group, so parents can make the decision that is best for them.

To increase awareness, a new public service announcement educates parents about the ESRB ratings and parental controls. With the video game industry’s unique partners, networks and technologies, Page 24

the PSA can be seen on TV, video game consoles and websites, mobile devices and in stores through retailers.

When selecting a game for your children, or researching one received as a gift, follow these tips to determine if the game is right for them: 1. Check the rating printed on the package.

While an “E for Everyone” rating means the game is suitable for all ages, a game rated “T for Teen” has content that is more appropriate for older children and “M for Mature” is generally meant for players ages 17 or older.

2. Read Content Descriptors and Interactive Elements.

ESRB ratings also include more detailed information about game content that may have triggered a particular rating, such as Crude Humor or Strong Language.

Interactive Elements notices, which are listed at ESRB.org and on the free ESRB rating search mobile app, indicate the user’s ability to broadcast their location with other players, share their personal information with third parties, or interact with other gamers online.

3. Set parental controls.

Whether your child owns a console, handheld device or plays on the computer, most video game systems have parental control options. These controls can be set to block games

by ESRB rating category, regulate

The Coto de Caza News

play time and restrict access to the Internet. Learn more about setting controls for individual systems at www.esrb.org/parents.

4. Check online reviews.

The Internet era has provided more information than ever about different video games. Online reviews are useful and may feature screenshots, video and written opinion to help parents get insight about a game before ordering or opening the package.

5. Be involved.

Parents should be proactive and aware of what games their children are playing, including with whom they are playing online. Parental involvement is the best way to ensure

your kids enjoy games and stay safe online. Talk with your children about what they like or dislike about a game, ask whom they are playing with and when, and consider having all game play occur in a public area of the house so adults can easily monitor it.

While the content of video games today may be more varied than ever before, parents also have many more options for learning about video games and controlling what their kids will experience. Make sure you and your loved ones understand the ESRB rating system and other controls and keep holiday gift giving an enjoyable experience for all.

S I M P L E W A Y S T O G I V E B A C K A L L Y E A R L O N G The old saying, “It is better to Ruth Campbell Bigelow after the

give than receive,” is never better illustrated than during the holiday season when gift giving is at its peak.

But, how often does the purpose of giving get lost in the rush of shopping and deadlines?

It’s easy to forget that there are many ways to give that don’t have to rely on a purchase. Just showing someone that they are appreciated can be the most memorable gift of the season. In many ways, it is the gift that keeps on giving. Being appreciated can make a person feel fabulous and in fact can motivate someone to pay it forward. In a time when discourse seems to permeate so many areas of our lives, a small note of appreciation can stand out even more.

At Bigelow Tea, where the company mission is to enrich life’s everyday moments, the culture is to remember all who make our lives so much better and show them appreciation.

“We try to pay attention all year long, not just during the holidays. The purpose of our company is to create an environment of pride that brings out everyone’s desire and ability to make a positive difference every day,” says Cindi Bigelow, CEO and thirdgeneration family member.

Bigelow Tea was started by

Depression hit. Perhaps it was her brush with the hard times of the Depression that heightened her compassion for others, but her generous spirit built appreciation into the formula for the company’s future.

In 1963, she adopted a school in Kentucky, where she sent truckloads of books, coats and shoes. She would even buy glasses for kids who needed them so they could read.

Today, Bigelow continues to carry on that tradition with the company’s support of the USO and veteran’s programs like Ride 2 Recovery, Tea for the Troops and the annual Bigelow Tea Community Challenge, which has contributed $1.5 million back into the community.

There are many simple ways to give back all year long - whether as a parent, a sibling, a corporate executive or a partner. Some of the insights Cindi has learned as a parent and the third-generation business leader include: * A “good” education should make sure it’s teaching young people about values like kindness, niceness and compassion - things that our parents and grandparents practiced so naturally, but are often overlooked today. * Her father’s simple philosophy,

as relevant today as yesterday, is to be an inspiration, be honest, be fair, be concerned about others and remember that success has many different definitions. * It’s important to take the extra time for two-way communication.

Listening (maybe over a cup of tea) to what others have to say is a good way to make people feel valued and appreciated.

* Always remember that you are a role model that sets the standards for life all around you. What you do, how you act, good times and bad, behind closed doors, in front of other people, sets the tone and inspires others.

Going green: It’s more than an idea - it’s a fundamental change you make to support the environment and reduce your carbon footprint. In making this change, you probably started with the small stuff. You turn the lights off when you’re not in the room, unplug devices that aren’t in use and adjust your thermostat regularly, but you can do so much more.

Implementing a green approach can seem like a lot of work. The trick is to look at your green initiatives not as a to-do list but as a new lifestyle.

Once you do that, your green efforts

how you went about your day without them.

To support your new green lifestyle, add these five positive habit-forming strategies from Rental HQ. * Remove wasteful water use. The average American uses between 80 and 100 gallons of water each day, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Fortunately, there are watersaving habits to embrace that will reduce your usage as well as your bill. Avoid running the dishwasher or washing machine until you have a full load. Turn the faucet off while brushing your teeth, and take a shower instead of a bath. Outside, you should avoid watering your lawn as much as possible and if you do, try to do so in the evening when the water can soak into the soil instead of evaporating in the afternoon heat. * Rent instead of buy. Whether you’re sprucing up your yard or diving into a home improvement project, there are always machines and tools that you need but simply don’t have. Too often that means buying these items, using them once and then stashing them in the garage or basement. Renting helps reduce the energy, pollution and

and maintaining machines and tools.

Renting is an easy and cost-effective way to locate just the right equipment - think aerators, chain saws, pressure washers and paint sprayers - while helping the environment. * Start the carpool. You and your co-workers have talked about this for years, but nothing ever comes of it because no one wants to take the initiative. Now’s the time. Announce that you are starting a carpool volunteer to drive the first week - and invite your friends to join you. This habit is more likely to stick if you all consistently rely on each other. * Adopt green, chemical-free lawn care practices. Everyone wants a lush, green lawn, and too many people use chemicals, fertilizers and unhealthy products to achieve their dream. Resolve to eliminate lawn care habits that harm Mother Nature, such as chemical dethatchers, fertilizers and weed killers. Instead, rent a dethatching machine and aerator to improve your lawn’s health naturally.

You can even rent a chipper or grinder to turn yard debris like twigs, branches, fallen leaves and grass clippings into mulch for planting beds. * Make your own cleaning

a staple in every home; they’re also rarely environmentally friendly.

However, you can get the same cleaning benefits without the negative environmental impact by making your own cleaning chemicals from natural sources. Mineral oil and lemon juice combine to make a great furniture polish, just as vinegar and salt can be used to clean copper or brass.

For an all-purpose cleaning solution, try liquid soap, baking soda and tap water. Recipes for these solutions and more are found easily online, so browse around and you’ll discover the perfect natural solution for your needs.

A green lifestyle doesn’t happen overnight. Adding a few of these green habits will help. Apply the tips offered above and your new green lifestyle will be effective and enjoyable before you know it. - (BPT)

5 WAYS TO TREAT YOUR FAMILY (AND YOURSELF) AND SAVE MONEY THIS HOLIDAY The holidays are a cheerful time of year, but the season also comes with increased spending - from purchasing gifts to holiday gatherings and travel.

And, while most are shopping for gifts for others, recent research shows that more than half of shoppers are also buying for themselves, adding further to the shopping list.[1] There’s no better time than now to plan for holiday gift shopping in order to scoop up the best deals.

Commit to doing the holidays differently this year with some quick season’s saving tips, so you can treat yourself and your loved ones without breaking the bank!

1. Hold a secret gift exchange: Encouraging a secret gift exchange is a fun, festive way to embrace the spirit of giving, while curbing your spending.

A gift exchange requires you to shop for only one person, so you can spend more time focusing on the perfect present. Using your smartphone to research gift ideas based on the recipient’s interests is a great way to give something meaningful. You’ll have a blast guessing who gave what when it comes time to exchange gifts as a group!

2. Get a jump start on savings: To get some of the season’s best deals, plan ahead. Have your eyes on a certain item? Invest time in advance of the holidays to seek out the biggest sales. It’s never too early to start comparing online and in-store deals for that special treat. Keeping tabs on prices on your smartphone can help you stay organized while shopping.

3. Get the latest and greatest for less: The latest electronics top holiday lists every year, but the price tag on a new smartphone shouldn’t stop you from treating yourself, or others. With Straight Talk Wireless, enjoy savings on the latest smartphones, like the iPhone XS, and 50 percent more high-speed data with the unlimited $35 and $45 plans, making staying connected to loved ones easier than ever this holiday season.

FRESH IDEAS FOR 30-MINUTE MEDITERRANEAN MEALS With few having the time to devote to cooking an elaborate meal, a collection of delicious and dependable 30-minute recipes for a quick but satisfying meal can be handy. What else keeps things simple? Having fresh staples such as California table grapes on hand helps brighten up any recipe and fuel up after activities.

Mediterranean ingredients and flavors create dishes that are refreshing, colorful and filled with fruits and vegetables. Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad with Grapes offers a fresh twist on the Middle Eastern classic, replacing the traditional bulgur with quinoa, and using grapes in place of tomatoes. The result? An approachable and modern salad that works as well for a quick dinner as it does for a brown bag lunch the next day. Pair with grilled chicken or fish, or simply add chickpeas or kidney beans for a heartier meatless entree.

With Mediterranean Pizza, there is no need to fuss with dough because whole-wheat naan, an Indian flatbread, makes the perfect crust.

Simply top with cumin and paprikaseasoned ground lamb, bake it, and then finish with a lightly dressed grape and red onion combination that perfectly complements the flavors in the meat. Pita or flatbread can take the place of naan, and lamb can be replaced by ground beef or turkey as desired.

Finally, when it’s time to decorate the table, create a simple but stunning centerpiece with gorgeous black, red and green California grapes.

For more ideas, visit grapesfromcalifornia.com.

Mediterranean Pizza Prep time: 15 minutes; cook time: 15 minutes Yield: Serves 4 Ingredients 1 1/2 cups halved red California grapes 2 tablespoons lightly chopped Italian parsley leaves 1/4 cup slivered red onion 1 tablespoon lemon juice 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided) plus additional for drizzling Pinch of salt Freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 pound ground lamb, beef, or dark meat turkey 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika Pinch cayenne 2 whole-wheat naans (about 4.4 ounces each) Directions Heat oven to 475 F. In a large bowl combine the grapes, parsley leaves, red onion, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the garlic and meat, and cook until browned, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, paprika and cayenne.

Place naans on parchmentlined baking sheets, brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread the meat mixture on

the naans. Bake until each naan is browned and lightly crisp, 8-10 minutes. Top with grape mixture and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired. Cut in pieces and serve.

Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad with Grapes Prep time: 15 minutes; cook time: 15 minutes Yield: Serves 6 Ingredients 1 1/2 cups water 3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed 3/4 cup halved red California grapes 3/4 cup halved green California grapes 2 cups diced English cucumber 2/3 cup chopped flat leaf parsley 1/2 cup chopped dill 1/4 cup chopped mint 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1/4 teaspoon salt Freshly ground pepper to taste Directions In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a boil and add the quinoa; reduce the heat and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain any excess water, then fluff the quinoa and transfer it onto a baking sheet to cool for 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine the grapes, cucumber, parsley, dill, mint, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper. Gently fold the cooled quinoa into the grape mixture and serve. - (BPT) The Coto de Caza News

Happy, Healthy Meal Planning P

FAMILY FEATURES

lanning a full meal – appetizer, main course and dessert – can be difficult for many home chefs.

Having an eye toward nutrition to go along with taste can make it even more difficult.

Combine these two high priorities, flavor and nutrition, with these healthconscious, full menu recipes for Tuscan White Bean Soup, Seared Polenta Rounds with Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions, and Apple Spice Bread.

Find more healthy mealtime solutions at Culinary.net.

A Nutritious Treat

Finish off a nutritious family meal with a dessert that doesn’t go overboard. This Apple Spice Bread can cap the evening off with a tasty yet health-conscious treat including Granny Smith apples. Visit aicr.org to find more healthy and nutritious recipes.

Bolder, Healthier Meals

One of the challenges of cooking at home is creating bold and unique flavors with healthy, organic and wholesome ingredients without spending hours in the kitchen. With the right tools, you don’t have to go to extremes or make drastic changes to eat healthy.

For example, purchase products made with certified organic ingredients that have no artificial colors or flavors and are grown by trusted farmers who share the same passion.

Consider including items like Organic Simmer Sauces from SEEDS OF CHANGE, which donates 1 percent of sales to support and develop sustainable community-based farming and growing programs.

Add zest to your meals by sauteing your favorite protein, veggies or tofu with one of an array of flavors: Sesame Ginger Teriyaki, Taco Roasted Chipotle, Sweet and Sour, Mushroom and Tikka Masala. Just add and simmer for 10 minutes.

Start your journey toward bolder, healthier meal options with this Seared Polenta Rounds with Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions recipe. Find more organic ways to add nutrition to your meals at seedsofchange.com.

FIGHTING AN ILLNESS? 4 WAYS TO BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM The winter months bring cold and flu season, which can take a toll on your health. While flu shots and rest are common advice for prevention, a strong immune system is critical to keeping you healthy all year long.

According to Margaret Martin, RD, MS, LDN, CDE, a Registered Dietitian at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, “Your body’s ability to fight infection and disease depends on your immune system.”

Margaret provides one-on-one nutrition consultations for people with cancer who have a weakened immune system due to the effects of treatment, but she says keeping a healthy immune system is important for everyone. “Boosting your immune system during and after cancer treatment can help you feel better, maintain your strength, avoid treatment delays and speed your recovery. This goes for anyone fighting an illness, or preventing one.”

Margaret offers these important tips to help boost your immune system and keep it running smoothly throughout the year Keep a plant-based, heart-healthy menu.

Choose foods first as your source of vitamins and nutrients. Unless your healthcare team directs you to take a vitamin or supplement, you likely do not need one. The best way to include these nutrients is by eating whole foods. Make sure your meals incorporate a variety of vegetables

and fruits, whole grains, legumes, beans, lean protein and healthy fats.

Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day to stay energized and to ensure your body is getting enough calories, proteins and nutrients. Protein acts as a “builder” and the body uses it to build and repair tissues. Protein is also vital for making hormones and enzymes that promote the body’s daily functions and supports a healthy immune system. In addition, drinking eight to 10 glasses of fluids every day is one of the most effective ways to flush waste from your body and support the health of your immune system.

Power up with phytochemicals.

Fruits, vegetables and other plants contain naturally occurring substances known as phytochemicals.

Phytochemicals give fruits and vegetables their color and flavor.

Phytochemicals act as soldiers in the immune system to protect the body from damage. Studies show that phytochemicals help support the: * Immune system * Creation of healthy cells * Death of damaged cells (such as cancer cells) Decrease your risk of malnutrition.

It can be harder for a malnourished body to fight off an illness or infection.

Malnutrition results when the body does not receive enough calories and/or nutrients to promote good health and sustain healthy functioning of your body’s systems. When you’re

“in the slumps,” it can be easy to avoid eating altogether. Follow these tips to reduce your risk of malnutrition during cancer treatment: * Choose a variety of foods each week from all the food groups. Talk with your healthcare team before changing your diet. Eat regularly throughout the day, every four to six hours. Even if you do not feel hungry, try to have a snack or mini meal. If you forget to eat, try setting a timer. * Include a protein source with every meal and most snacks.

Make changes to your lifestyle. And stick to them.

In addition to using nutrition to boost your immune system, you can also make changes to your lifestyle to help support health and immunity.

These include: * Decrease your exposure to bacteria, viruses and germs. * Aim for 7 hours or more of sleep every night. If your sleep is interrupted, try a 30-minute nap during the day. * Reduce stress by taking time to do things you enjoy such as spending time with family, spending time outdoors or reading. If your feelings of anxiety or depression make it difficult for you to complete daily tasks, talk to your healthcare team.

S A V E E N E R G Y A N D M O N E Y T H I S H O L I D A Y S E A S O N The holidays are a wonderful time energy but also preventing water from

of year to gather and celebrate with family and friends. This time of year is also when expenses can soar, especially your utility bills. Thankfully, Chip Wade, HGTV(R) expert, has some advice on how you can save energy, and, ultimately, money, this holiday season: * Holiday lighting: By choosing ENERGY STAR certified decorative light strings, you will be using 75 percent less energy than conventional incandescent light strands. Want to save more energy? Use a timer for your lights to control when they will turn on and off. * Prevent heat loss: Find and seal air leaks in your home. “Areas around windows and doors are often culprits for allowing heat to escape,” says Wade. Use caulking or weatherstripping to seal these leaks and keep the heat inside your home. * Water heating: Did you know you can control the temperature of your water heater? Most households only require water heater thermostats to be set at 120 F, which is lower than what the temperature is typically set at. By lowering your water heating temperature, you’re not only reducing

becoming dangerously hot. * Adjust the temperature: Hosting a holiday gathering this year? Consider turning the thermostat down. “More people in your home means an increase in your home’s temperature,” says Wade. “To accommodate for this, I turn my thermostat five to ten degrees lower than normal before guests arrive, so that they are comfortable.” Also, if you’re traveling for the holidays, it’s good to keep in mind that programmable thermostats like the YORK(R) Affinity(TM) Hx(TM) Touch-screen Thermostat can take care of temperature adjustments for you while you’re away. YORK’s free downloadable app allows you to control the thermostat from your smartphone, no matter where you travel. * Maintain your heating system: Be sure to schedule regular service appointments with your local technician to keep your heating and cooling system running properly.

Also, set a calendar reminder to replace your air filters once a month to maintain proper airflow. * Choose a high-efficiency furnace: With the first day of winter on the

horizon, save energy heating your home by choosing a high-efficiency furnace. “Always consider a furnace’s annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating,” says Wade. “The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace and the greater the amount of heat it delivers for your money. Look for models with AFUE of 90 percent or higher, like a YORK(R) Affinity(TM) gas furnace.”

There are a number of ways to save energy and money this holiday season, especially regarding how

you heat your home. Being informed can allow you to not only properly choose the right heating system for your home, but also understand the importance of maintaining it for maximized efficiency. Visit www.

YORK.com to learn more about residential heating and cooling, and to find a local YORK(R) contractor.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

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 POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

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 sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 15-37807. 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.
