YOUR 2018 GUIDE TO EARTH-FRIENDLY HOLIDAY GIFTING Each year, many people count down the days to the holiday season and save their money for festive decorations and gift giving. In fact, the average American will spend over $1,000 on holiday gifts, according to the National Retail Federation. But before you start checking gifts off your list, consider going green this year. The best gifts not only have the latest features and styles, they also save energy and protect the environment. It’s a gift that gives back to your loved ones and the planet. Cutting-edge electronics Many of the latest models of your favorite gadgets have earned the ENERGY STAR label, meaning they are independently certified to save energy and money and protect the environment. You can find TVs, laptops, tablets, speakers, soundbars and more with this certification something for everyone on your list. Look for ENERGY STAR on electronics while you’re out holiday shopping. Advanced appliances Appliances might not be the most flashy or exciting gifts around, but if they are ENERGY STAR certified, they’re gifts that keep on giving. Certified appliances use less energy
and water, saving money on utility bills with every use. Treat your loved ones with the convenience of a new refrigerator, washer, dryer or dishwasher. Smart thermostat As temperatures drop, your heating bill is on the rise. For the average American household, almost half of the annual energy bill goes to heating and cooling - more than $900 a year. If you’re concerned about your energy usage this winter, an ENERGY STAR certified smart thermostat can help you stay warm without breaking the bank. And those energy savings add up to a greener planet. If everyone used an energy-efficient certified smart thermostat, savings would grow to 56 trillion BTUs of energy and $740 million per year, offsetting 13 billion pounds of annual greenhouse gas emissions. Modern lighting Candy and socks are common stocking stuffers, but how about something unique this year? Give your friends and family something they really need. ENERGY STAR certified LED light bulbs last over 13 years with typical use and save nearly $55 in electricity costs in that time. LED light bulbs are available in

warm to cool white light, so your gift can help set the mood in any room. You can also find energy-efficient light fixtures that come with LED light sources integrated right into their design that use up to 90 percent less energy. Creative wrapping paper Materials used to make gift wrapping paper are often not accepted for recycling, especially if it’s dyed, laminated or contains nonpaper additives like glitter or plastics. Get creative when wrapping presents this year with old fabric, maps, sheet music, magazines or newspapers. You can even use baking pans or
festive reusable tins. Do-good donation What do you get that friend or family member who has everything? That’s easy. Donate to a charity or service organization that they support in their name. For example, donate to a local organization that promotes environmental research or conservation. Your gift could also include a promise to volunteer with an organization. Follow this guide to green-up your holiday gifting. For more earth-friendly holiday gift ideas, visit energystar. gov/holiday. - (BPT)

EASY DO IT YOURSELF GIFTS FOR EVERYONE ON YOUR HOLIDAY LIST You want to find unique gifts for everyone on your list this holiday season. Rather than search endlessly, have you considered making your own presents? DIY gifting is a growing trend, providing people the opportunity to create the ideal present with loved ones’ personalities in mind. Because it’s homemade, it’s customizable and one of a kind, with deeper meaning than anything that can be purchased at a store. Whether you’re an amateur DIYer, an avid crafter or don’t consider yourself creative at all, you can make the perfect holiday gift guaranteed to impress everyone on your list. Here are five easy holiday DIY projects for inspiration: Canvas handprint art Handprint art is great if you want to involve kids in DIY gifting. This is a present that can be proudly given from the entire family and has loads of meaning for recipients like grandparents or aunts and uncles. First, get white canvases and acrylic paint from your local craft store. Then gather the kids and cover up clothing (acrylic paint is not washable) and decide what you want to create with their tiny handprints. From green wreaths and holiday trees to thumbprint snowmen and snowflakes, options are endless to make a unique gift that perfectly freezes a moment in time through their hand impressions. Family ornaments DIY ornaments become cherished holiday decorations that are loved year after year. Stylish, classic and sentimental, ornaments featuring the silhouettes of your family are
guaranteed to become keepsakes. Using the ultimate smart cutting machine, Cricut Maker, you can upload images of your children and family in Cricut Design Space, quickly create a design and then the machine seamlessly cuts the design from your choice of materials. A timeless black vinyl silhouette adhered to a natural wood round, both cut on Cricut Maker, is an elegant ornament. Or, get creative with a standalone silhouette design cut from black leather brushed with glitter. You can even use images of pets if you want to include furfamily members, too. Hot chocolate in a jar Tasty treats are plentiful during the holidays, but instead of going with the standard cookies, gift a beautiful mason jar filled with all the ingredients for decadent hot chocolate. Start with a glass mason jar and fill about two-thirds full of hot chocolate mix. Then add in a few small layers of dry extras to customize the flavor, such as chocolate chips, crushed candy canes or peanut-butter chips. Finish with a layer of mini marshmallows and screw on the top. Add a bow and directions for making the hot chocolate and you have an adorable gift for anyone on your list. Custom t-shirts Does your mom have a fun nickname? Does your brother have a trademark greeting? Does your best friend adore the ‘80s? Pick up any type of plain shirt and get ready to make it spectacular with a few fun catch phrases or designs. Iron-on projects are an easy and fun way to make your gifts truly personal this holiday season. To make custom t-shirts,
use the Cricut Maker to cut out your designs and the Cricut EasyPress 2 to get perfect iron-on results in 60 seconds or less. Not feeling a t-shirt? Consider customizing a canvas bag, hat, a special blanket or the sides of socks or a special blanket, if you want to try something different. All-in-one movie night in Give the gift of a wonderful night in by creating a movie gift basket customized to your loved one’s personality. First, start with a big container that can hold all the goodies, such as a themed plastic popcorn bowl. Then choose a movie of special meaning, such as a beloved childhood film or one you watched together on a special occasion, like a first date. Include the movie and every treat you can imagine to complete movie night, from popcorn and classic theater boxed candy to comfy extras like a blanket or throw for staying cozy. With a little DIY ingenuity, some crafting materials and smart tools, you can make the ideal present for everyone on your list. Let your imagination soar and get creative during the most festive time of year. - (BPT)

ASSEMBLE A HOLIDAY CHEESEBOARD GUARANTEED TO IMPRESS
‘Tis the season for getting together with friends and family to celebrate. Food is at the heart of the holidays, so whether you’re hosting an event or attending as a guest, you’ll want to whip up something to impress a wide variety of taste buds. The perfect solution: A holiday cheeseboard. Creating a cheeseboard like the ones you see in food magazines might seem intimidating, but it’s actually surprisingly simple. With a little planning and a few flairs, you’ll put together a cheeseboard
that guests will nosh on until every last crumb is devoured. Just follow these five steps to a delicious holiday cheeseboard that’s guaranteed to get rave reviews. 1. Select a serving tray: A wood cutting board is timeless, but feel free to get creative with your serving vessel. You can choose your grandmother’s crystal platter, that festive holiday tray or repurpose a favorite cake plate. The only rule is the tray must be large enough to hold all your cheese plus accompaniments
without being overcrowded. 2. Choose cheese wisely: Select three to five varieties of cheese for your board. This provides nice variation without overwhelming guests with too many options. When in doubt, remember this rhyme when shopping: Something old, something new, something stinky and something blue. Consider an Italian cheese theme and choose from a variety of Stella cheeses. From fresh mozzarella and tart feta to aged Asiago and buttery Fontina, you’ll have nice variety for everyone. 3. Get the right amounts: You want enough cheese to satisfy everyone but you don’t wants loads of leftovers. Typically 4-6 ounces of cheese per person is a good estimate, but increase or decrease that amount based on time of day and other foods being served (for example, a bountiful luncheon versus a light cocktail hour). The Stella Cheese online cheese calculator can help you determine appropriate amounts considering these variables if you need assistance. 4. Add accompaniments and garnishes: For a well-rounded cheeseboard, extras are essential. Crackers, crostini and bread as well as nuts, dried fruit, olives and meats can be customized to your tastes. For
a festive take on your cheeseboard, add quintessential holiday-themed foods such as cranberry jam, roasted chestnuts, fresh figs and even pumpkin butter. For pops of color, add in fresh berries and sprigs of rosemary. These extras not only add a plethora of flavors, but they beautify your presentation. 5. Consider proper preparation: One of the best parts of a cheeseboard is it can be prepared ahead of time. This means less work and more time to spend with loved ones during holiday events. To get started, organize your cheeseboard in an eye-appealing manner with cheeses from mildest to strongest flavor as that’s the best way to sample them. Keep in mind you can set cheese out about an hour before serving as this time allows cheese to adjust to room temperature which maximizes flavors. Then add extras to fill in the spaces on the board, placing garnishes like jams and honey in the middle. Whether you’re hosting a casual neighborhood gathering, a festive celebration with family or a formal get-together with business partners, a delectable cheeseboard is ideal for guests to nosh on.

DAOU A BEACON OF FINE WINE IN PASO ROBLES
Considered the birthplace of modern winemaking and an amazing terroir for producing Cabernet Sauvignon, 2,300 foot DAOU Mountain stands tall in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles. Off to the west of the 101, in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, about a half day journey or so on the road from north San Diego, stands a solitary mountain of some 2,300 feet, producing magnificent Cabernet Sauvignon. Everything about this mountain is so right for the highest quality Cabernet. When the brother team of Georges and Daniel Daou staked their claim after growing up in France with a love of wine, then achieving great success in America in academics and in the tech world, the dream of DAOU Mountain turned into the discovery of a lifetime. It did not come quickly. As a matter of fact, when the decision was made to pursue their vision of making the best Bordeaux French style wines in the world, it took them 8 years to find this location. 12 years ago, DAOU Mountain was named and planting began at the pinnacle of what would become the largest wine country in California, Paso Robles. “It was wild country then and we struggled to quickly put up a single building to start making wine,” Daniel Daou told me. “We were just 14 miles from the ocean and you could feel it. The calcareous lime soil had a very similar make up to what makes Bordeaux vineyards thrive. Our wines have lots of minerality and natural acidity. Over time, wine experts have applauded our efforts and now expect us to make great Cabernet Sauvignon. The American dream is still alive. We have challenged ourselves to produce wines that will rival the greatest. There is no question that we have the terroir. This Page 10
terrior is naturally inclined to produce wines of extraordinary staying power. We spare no amount of imagination or technology in harnessing that power to make wines of dimension and elegance.”

HANDCRAFTED AMERICAN FURNITURE BUILT TO LAST Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you. That quote by Frank Lloyd Wright is ever so present in the work of Sean Woolsey Studio. Based in Costa Mesa, Sean Woolsey and his team design and meticulously craft handmade furniture built to last for generations. “Our pieces are purposefully designed to last generations , in contrast to a ”throw away” mass market approach. The core of what we do is informed by the beauty, structure, and simplicity in nature” Woolsey says. Growing up Woolsey was influenced by his father, a reputable stained glass artist building lamps and custom doors and windows for high profile clients all over the country. “My dad taught me a lot, and was a role model to me in many ways. “I grew up building skate ramps, then had a stint in the apprel industry (having his own 2 brands) then working for Hurley in Costa Mesa. I ultimately wanted to make things with my hands, built things with purpose and out of the best materials possible. Pieces that I would be proud to own myself.” Woolsey left the apparel industry and forged a new path in hand crafted furniture. Today Sean Woolsey Studio makes everything in southern California, from chairs and desks to pool tables and ping pong tables.
The showroom in Costa Mesa is open by appointment.

SANTA MARGARITA NAMED MICROSOFT SHOWCASE SCHOOL
LOCAL SCHOOL IS RECOGNIZED AS A GLOBAL LEADER IN TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION For the fifth consecutive year, Santa Margarita Catholic High School was named a Microsoft Showcase School. Recognized for successfully integrating tablet PC and cloud technology, Santa Margarita’s technology program delivers a personalized, immersive education preparing students for success in college and beyond as they enter the workforce. Santa Margarita joins an elite community of approximately 300 schools worldwide recognized for their pioneering efforts and innovation in teaching, learning and assessment. Santa Margarita is the only school in Orange County to receive this designation, one of three schools in the state and one of 39 in the nation. “We are proud of our partnership with Microsoft and the immersive learning experience we are providing our students,” said Principal Ray Dunne. “At Santa Margarita, we are committed to continuing to provide innovative ways to prepare our students for college and beyond.” In addition, the school’s technology educators received the Service Leadership Award from Microsoft during the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) 2018 summer conference in Chicago. The award recognized their exemplary work demonstrating the integration of Microsoft’s educational platform to schools and districts throughout Southern California. Santa Margarita has hosted more than 20 schools and school districts from across Southern California interested in learning more about Santa Margarita’s awardwinning educational technology program. School leaders have also helped other schools and districts implement similar programs.

In addition, the feedback we get from schools and districts when they visit our campus in terms of their desire to emulate our program, reinforces that we are headed in the right direction and that we still have room to grow Ed Tech to further increase the effectiveness of our students and teachers. I am excited for what lies ahead.” Technology is an integral part of Mr. George Cou’s Spanish class Page 12

JOYFUL CHILD FOUNDATION GALA RAISES NEARLY $100,000.00 P h o t o s b y D r e w Wy m a n a n d M i c h e l l e P e r a l e s The Joyful Child Foundation’s California coastal-themed fundraiser gala at the Fashion Island Hotel in Newport Beach was an elegant affair that generated nearly $100,000 to support the organization’s BRAVE Initiative. Through the BRAVE Initiative, The Joyful Child empowers children and teens, ages 5-18, how to protect themselves and stop violence through self-advocacy, verbal and practical defense techniques, and resiliency skills. A special highlight of the evening featured unveiling the breathtaking painting created by the formally trained and very talented Parisian artist, Laurent Dareau. The painting, which Dareau commissioned specifically for the event, revealed a stunningly joyful depiction of young Samantha Runnion, in whose memory The Joyful Child was established. Founding Director, Erin Runnion, announced that the masterpiece would serve as the focal point for the new Champions for Children Wall at The Joyful Child’s Headquarters, in Irvine. This wall will feature the names of inaugural donors to the newly established Samantha’s Legacy Fund, honoring their support for The Joyful Child’s national movement for child protection and prevention education. Laura Diaz, the 14-time Emmy Award winning and three-time Imagen Award winning Fox11 news anchor and reporter who has been a longtime friend to The Joyful Child, Emcee’d the event with finesse and poise, while framing the context for The Joyful Child’s mission and call to action. Ms. Diaz also introduced a short video of the up-and-coming Eliana Sweet, current president of a local high school BRAVE Club who produced a short film titled “The Joyful Child – Erin Runnion’s Story.” Ms. Sweet’s full-length video was nominated for Best Spot Feature at The Orange County Film Festival. Erin Runnion herself delivered a powerful message, applauding all in attendance for being champions for children, celebrating the victories of the past year through collaboration with a myriad of community partner agencies, and emphasizing the urgent need to “do what needs to be done to stop the cycle of violence so that we can protect every child, whether it be within their schools, communities, or families.” The Joyful Child annually honors a community partner whose work has gone above and beyond to expand the BRAVE Initiative into their communities. This year was no exception, as Ms. Gloria Huerta and the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department each received a stunning crystal Champions for Children award for their consistent and steadfast work teaching BRAVE to children in the Inland Empire. As a community united for child protection, they have empowered over 1,000 children with knowledge and skills to keep themselves safe from abduction, abuse, and exploitation. The gala’s Co-Chairs Darryl Tallon and Debbie Nguyen orchestrated the details of the evening, including the cocktail reception with silent auction and the sit-down dinner, down to the details of the gorgeous coastal-glam-inspired centerpieces designed by Julie Khuu Interior Design, which one lucky guest from each table had the privilege to take home. Zack Krone of California Coastal Auctions provided lively, jovial entertainment for the fundraising activities, including auction packages and opportunities for travel to places near and far, from as close to home as Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, to Key Largo, Florida and even the Caribbean island of Antigua. This event was an elegant and joyful evening to celebrate this important work for child protection! Since 2002, The Joyful Child Foundation has been dedicated to preventing crimes against children through programs that educate, empower, and unite families and communities. The BRAVE Initiative provides empowering, interactive life skills lessons for children in grades K-12 with the help of teachers, community partner agencies, and law enforcement, as well as through parent education opportunities. The goal is to bring these lifesaving programs to every child and family to reduce the risk of childhood victimization, including providing low-cost and free training opportunities for children in very low-income, homeless and transitional living situations.

COTO MIGHTY EAGLES WIN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA U8 GIRLS ELITE SOCCER LEAGUE TITLE by: Kevin “The Jet” Hayes Team reporter The Coto Mighty Eagles ventured into uncertain territory as they left the comfy confines of the local AYSO league and entered the U8 Elite Soccer League. Coach Reed handpicked a group of local 7-year girls and put them through a rigorous two-day practice schedule for three weeks to get them ready for the top soccer league in Southern California. Game one found the Mighty Eagles hopping on the team bus to venture to San Clemente to face last year’s champs. The Eagles came away with a 1-1 tie. Coach Reed was quickly called into General Manager Braden Weber’s office where they brought in highly sought out soccer coach Dave Farrell to be the league assistant coach. Coach Farrell quickly inserted his patented triangle attack and the Mighty Eagles responded with a 7-0 victory in their next game over the San Diego Rainbows. Coach Farrell took over the defense the rest of the way as the Mighty Eagles found themselves in a must win situation the last game of the season against the Tijuana Futbol Ninas. The Mighty Eagles were too much for the Ninas as they captured the title with a 3-1 victory. Ninas Coach Hector Vasques was quoted after the game. “Best positioned youth soccer team he had faced in 15 years. Every time we thought we were in open space we were hit with another wave of Eagles!”
The Mighty Eagles won the Southern California U8 Girls Elite Soccer League Title with a record of 7-1-2. The Mighty Eagles were led throughout the season with stellar defense: Kai “Rocket” Bautista- Nicknamed Rocket because of her high-speed reaction to the ball.

DO IT YOURSELF HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY ‘Tis the season for baking and crafting - the perfect ways to feel festive and bond with loved ones of all ages. From trying new recipes to creating crafts that will be cherished for years to come, plan a date for some holiday fun and let the memorymaking with friends and family begin! These five festive projects will inspire laughter and good cheer while helping you mark the season with togetherness: PEEPS Snowy S’mores Classic s’mores get a holiday makeover with a tasty and adorable twist thanks to PEEPS(R) marshmallow and its fun seasonal shapes. Just follow the simple instructions and everyone will enjoy a delicious treat. Don’t forget to make a few extras to give away! See instructions below: Curated by Good Housekeeping magazine on behalf of PEEPS(R) Servings: 3 Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: less than 1 minute Ingredients 9 ct. pack of PEEPS(R) Marshmallow Snowmen 9 graham cracker squares 1 pack of mini candy canes 6 chocolate squares Directions 1. Turn on the oven broiler and place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil. 2. Break the graham cracker and the chocolate bars into squares. 3. Arrange six graham cracker
squares on the baking sheet and top each with a square of chocolate. Place a PEEPS(R) Marshmallow Snowman on top of each chocolate. 4. Place the tray in the oven for 35 seconds. Check to see how toasted the Snowmen are - they should be slightly puffed, looked melted around the sides, and begin to form a goldenbrown crust on top. If they don’t look melted enough, leave them in for another 5 to 10 seconds. Keep a very close eye on them and use extreme caution when broiling PEEPS(R) and pulling them out of the hot oven. 5. Remove the tray from the oven and immediately begin to build the PEEPS(R) Snowy S’mores by stacking two melted PEEPS(R) topped graham crackers. 6. Finish off with a clean graham cracker and top off with a PEEPS(R) Marshmallow Snowman. Adhere the Snowman to the top of the graham cracker with a dab of melted chocolate, and then adhere the candy cane to his hand with chocolate - to appear as if the Snowman is holding the candy cane. 7. Break up a candy cane and sprinkle bits to the melted chocolate and PEEPS(R) Marshmallow Snowman. 8. Make sure to enjoy while the treat is still warm! Gratitude tree The family tree gets a thoughtful update in this project that serves as a reminder of what matters most during
the holiday season. Use cardboard or poster board to cut out a tree trunk and branches to hang on the wall. Then cut out leaf shapes with construction paper and ask each person to write down what they are grateful for. Then share with each other before adhering the leaves on the branches to create a one-of-akind family tree. For a holiday theme, place an evergreen tree on the wall and decorate with paper ornaments with notations of gratitude instead. Hand-print wreath Every person is unique and so is the size and shape of their hand. Outline each person’s hand on green felt and cut out individually. Then use glue to adhere the hands together in a circle shape to create a wreath, adding in a few red circles for berries or a bow if you desire. Alternatively get a white canvas and green acrylic paint from the local craft store. Gather everyone and paint the palms and underside of fingers and press each family member’s hand firmly on the canvas to create various prints in a beautiful wreath shape. Cup of joy Want a simple project that is as much fun to create as it is to give? From neighbors and the mail-carrier to teachers and school friends, it’s easy to show you care when you create a treat that lets everyone enjoy a cup of joy. Simply get packets of classic hot chocolate and PEEPS(R) marshmallow in seasonal shapes
like gingerbread men, snowmen and holiday trees. Tie together with a bow and add a tag with a holiday greeting or fun saying like, “You’re our favorite ‘PEEP’le, thanks for being great neighbors!” Salt-dough ornaments Kids love to play with clay, so they certainly will enjoy creating saltdough ornaments. All you need is flour, salt and water to get started. Look up “salt dough ornament recipe” on the internet and you’ll find quick and easy recipes. Traditionally, you’ll roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters before baking and painting. You can also make three-dimensional ornaments like snowmen or people, too. Get creative by using household utensils like a garlic press to create hair or beards. Spending time with loved ones is the best part of the holidays. Let these five DIY activities inspire your friends and family to get together and feel the joy of the season. - (BPT)
5 WAYS TO SIMPLIFY YOUR HOLIDAY DECORATING It’s here, the season of go, go, go. The time of year when there is so much to do, especially if you’re hosting holiday festivities. You want everything to be magical and so you’re planning events, buying presents, making plans for where everyone is going to sleep and all while working a full-time job and taking care of your family. It’s a whirlwind but you wouldn’t have it any other way. Now you just have to find time to decorate. With so much to do and so little time, you’re naturally looking for ways to make the holidays special without too much effort. This can be true of your decorating as well. Instead of decorating lighter, opt for easier with the tips below. Each one
Page 16
is guaranteed to help fill your home with the holiday spirit, all without a big time commitment on your part. * Add a little color to your home. In the summer colorful flowers can make any room welcoming, but in the winter your options for foliage are ... limited. Don’t fret or forgo the opportunity to add some natural accents to your home. Evergreen sprigs added to vases can bring a flora component to any room and infuse a seasonal dash of color. Holly is a great addition because it produces berries for a perfect pop of red. Place these in the same areas you would summer flowers and you’ll love the seasonal effect they create. * Photo-friendly options. Family photos are a mainstay in any home and this season is the perfect time to take your photo displays up a notch. Free-standing photo panels - available at CVS - provide a new and exciting way to showcase your favorite family moments. Available to order at cvs.com/photo, they offer a unique and easy way to bring these images to life. * Let there be light. Stringing
The Coto de Caza News
holiday lights around the outside of your home is an annual tradition, but why not do the same thing indoors as well? String lights through the main entertaining areas of your home using insulated holders, just be sure to check the wires for fraying before you do. This is a great way to add a festive spirit to a large area, and because so many lights run on batteries and can be equipped with timers, it’s easier than ever to conserve energy while showing your holiday spirit. * Décor panels add a festive feel to your space. What do the holidays mean to you? Whatever it is, display it on a customizable décor panel from Kodak Moments, also available at CVS. Choose from a wide array of designs and once you find one you love, your décor panels can be personalized with text as well. Matching the perfect message with the perfect design will give you an accent piece you’ll want to keep up in your house all year long. * Put those extra ornaments to use. Whether you’re taking a minimalist approach to your tree this year or you simply have too many ornaments,
there’s no reason to leave the extras in the box. Unwrap them and place them in bowls or on serving dishes and surround them with pine cones or pine branches. Then place them around your home as a festive accent. This decoration idea also makes for the perfect holiday centerpiece and is an easy way to deliver seasonal pops of style wherever your guests congregate. Start your planning today The holidays are fast approaching and as they do, your time is running short. Optimizing your decorating with the tips above will keep your home looking fresh and festive without a lot of effort, and that’s something that will bring you peace and joy this holiday season. - (BPT)

DECEMBER CHRISTMAS EVENT CAPS OFF ELK’S LODGE YEAR OF GIVING By Andy Costello THE ELK”S SEASON OF GIVING JANUARY TO DECEMBER. December is always extra busy as Mission Viejo / Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge #2444 hosts a super Christmas party for the developmentally challenged men, women and children of the Saddleback Valley. The Elks Lodge was once again full of the holiday spirit as the members played host to 175 special guests. They ranged in age from sixteen to sixty-six. Some came from group homes and some still living with family were dropped off by parents who expressed their appreciation to the Elks for this fabulous party. The special guests could hardly wait as they approached the door of the Lodge. “Will my friend be here?” “What time is Santa coming?” “Will I get presents again?” They entered the Lodge in groups - some walked, some used walkers and many came in wheel chairs with the help of their caregivers. After a lunch of chicken fingers, chips, lemonade and cookies was served, D.J. entertainer & Elk member Roy Southerland kept the music flowing much to the delight of the merrymakers who sang and danced all afternoon, some with old friends and some with the Elk volunteers. The Laguna Woods “Clown Alley” clowns were again on hand in full regalia passing out balloon hats and bringing smiles to the faces of the party-goers. And then came the moment. A big red fire truck courtesy of Orange County Fire Services Association arrived with sirens blaring, and riding atop the truck, and waving to all as the truck pulled up to the Elks Lodge, was none other than Santa Claus Ed Mackay & Mrs. Claus Elk Pam Mackay. The fire truck “Big John” was driven by retired Laguna Beach Fire
Captain Harvey Boelts, who is also an Elks member of the local Lodge. Santa and Mrs. Claus entered the Lodge to cheers and worked their way through the crowded dance floor with many hugs and warm greetings for all before retreating to a special room to make ready for the individual visits. Each guest enjoyed his or her own personal time with Santa and received a bag full of gifts and a photo taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Sixty-five Elks member volunteers saw to every need of the special guests. The event was a combined effort of many dedicated members Santa Arrives in style. working together to make the day so successful. As in the past the Elks Bingo Charity committee sponsored the party. At day’s end, a very tired Santa said, “We just love seeing so many smiles and how much happiness the party brings to these wonderful people.” A recently initiated Elk witnessing the event for the first time said she was amazed at how much satisfaction she got in helping the very appreciative guests. Lodge President Mike Klinger said, “I wouldn’t miss being here. Some of these same special guests have been attending this party for 25 years and look forward to returning Santa greets old friend Kevin Guthrie. each year. Our Elk’s members do whatever it takes to give them a fun day at the Lodge. We will see many of these same people at our annual Sock Hop next Summer.” Admission for either events is by invitation only and information is available by calling the Elks Lodge 949 830-3557. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) has a long standing support structure for the developmentally challenged and has a 150 year history of giving. “Elks Care, Elks Share.”
Mrs Claus listens and is surprised at this special guest’s wish list.

Online gift guides, like The Home Depot’s Holiday Gift Center, make it simple, with gift ideas categorized by price point. This will help you stay organized and setting price limits will keep your budget on track. Review the deals Collect all the ads from your favorite stores and use them to create your shopping plan of attack. When the day comes, get to the store early for the best selection and savings. At The Home Depot, these ads are also located on the online home page, and many items are also available for instore pick up or delivery. The Home Depot has many holiday
deals, which kick off on Black Friday, including Special Buys on power tools and accessories from Milwaukee, Makita, Ryobi, Ridgid and DeWalt; Mechanics Tools Sets and Storage from Husky; Smart Home products from Google and Nest; among others. Check online for your local store for hours and availability. Don’t procrastinate The easiest way to overspend on holiday gifts is to wait until the last minute.

LUXURY ENTERTAINING FOR THE HOLIDAYS
The holidays usher in a sense of celebration and opportunities for lavish seasonal gatherings. Awardwinning Chef Michael Voltaggio knows how to create an experience that will not only entertain, but also thoroughly impress. When it comes to holiday hosting, Michael integrates seasonal ingredients and offers finishing touches that will leave a luxurious, lasting impression. Experiential considerations Take a holistic perspective and use expert forethought when planning a festive dinner party. Similar to designing a new restaurant, Michael sees a night of entertaining as an opportunity to create a comprehensive dining experience. At the start of the event, greet guests with a cocktail topped with fragrant garnish, and introduce attendees to a curated evening with unexpected details, such as a passed amuse-bouche atop a slate serving platter. Consider ambiance from every angle - choose classical music for formal affairs or upbeat jazz for an evening of seasonal glamour and complement a crackling fireplace with tabletop candlelight to set the tone. Entertaining essentials Every touchpoint of an event should exude the same level of luxury, from the carefully chosen linens to the culinary tools used to prepare the menu. For Michael, this is especially true of kitchen faucets. Whether it’s the main fixture, a pot filler or a prep faucet, these are his essential tools for the entire entertaining process. The Artesso SmartTouch Pull-Down Prep Page 24
Faucet by Brizo offers visual intrigue in a newly expanded Brilliance Luxe Gold finish, bringing a gilded warmth to the space and offering intuitive touch technology - perfect for event preparation. Lavish pairings From hors d’oeuvres to after-dinner aperitifs, pay acute attention to detail and establish pairings that will create an evening of opulence. Offer elevated ambiance and refinement for the table by placing candlesticks of

various heights to accent bone china and complete the tablescape with a faceted decanter and glassware to enhance the overall aesthetic. Take cues from Michael, who enjoys selecting thoughtful wine pairings with seasonal dishes, such as a butternut squash soup complemented by the flavors of a robust Chianti. Culminating provisions When choosing courses for a dinner party, tell a story with each plate, adding finishing touches that will set
the menu apart. To Michael, cooking and entertaining are opportunities for creative exploration. Ornament an autumnal risotto with shaved truffle to bring rich depth of flavor or infuse a wintry dessert with liquid nitrogen for an unexpected dining experience. Continue to surprise and delight guests with personalized, calligraphed place cards, and end the evening with brushed gold champagne flutes for a group toast that will leave a lasting impression until next season. - (BPT)

HOW CONSUMERS CAN MAKE THE MOST OF THEIR MONEY, STRESS LESS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
The arrival of the holidays brings with it a whole host of considerations and things to do. According to a recent survey by Chase, eight in 10 Americans say they have holiday stress. Whether you’re out to find the perfect gift, or just entertain the kids as school winds down, the common denominator is the holiday season sees Americans strapped for time and spending more money than at other times of the year. With all the season’s craziness, it can be easy to let important to-do’s slip through the cracks. With proper planning, and a credit card provider that has your back, options abound for making sound decisions even in the face of increased spending. Chase is there to make sure you have one less thing to stress about when holiday crunch time hits. Chase offers consumers options for saving money throughout the holiday season. Chase Financial Education Ambassador Farnoosh Torabi says money-conscious consumers can shop smarter, offering tips that consumers can keep in mind while they’re in-store. “If you pay with Chase, there is one less thing to worry about when you’re shopping and gifting this holiday season,” Torabi said. “Chase has made it easier and quicker to redeem your points for gifts, keep track of
your cards and ensure a safe, secure check-out experience.” As many Americans look for deals and coupons after Thanksgiving, Chase provides customers convenient ways to save money right on their phones. “Before you even get to the store, gear up for great deals with Chase Offers,” Torabi said. “When you log into your Chase Mobile app, you can select offers from top retailers, add them to your card, and automatically get a credit when you shop in the store - no coupons or vouchers needed!” Recent findings also show that more than half of Americans say they are gift card givers when under pressure. In that event, shoppers should keep in mind that there are several opportunities to make the most of your money by redeeming credit card rewards. “If you earn points through Ultimate Rewards, you have a lot of flexibility to use them for gifting,” Torabi said. “Through the Ultimate Rewards site, you can get a gift card to popular merchants, use them to purchase Apple products, and even use them at checkout when you use the Chase Pay mobile wallet.” Money isn’t the only concern of Americans during the holiday season - there’s time, too. As the
holidays wind up and the frenetic pace of family and fun begins to set in, Americans begin looking for ways to save time so they can enjoy the things that mean the most. In fact, one-third of Americans (34 percent) say that the holidays can leave them strapped for time so they use points to get gift cards for family and friends. “Shoppers should also keep the Chase Pay app in mind,” Torabi said. “Imagine you’re out shopping for holiday gifts and your hands are full of everything from toys to wrapping paper - and even your kids! Instead of rummaging through your bag to find your wallet, the Chase Pay app
allows you to pay with your phone.” Between the office parties, family and friend get-togethers and rushing to stores for last-minute gifts, you may wind up forgetting something. If you leave your card behind or misplace it, Chase credit cards now have a lock/ unlock feature. From your phone or computer, you can instantly block new purchases, cash advances and balance transfers the moment your card isn’t in your wallet. Check out chase.com to learn more. And if you want to check out Chase Offers, go to chase.com/ chaseoffers. - (BPT)

3 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR TRAVELING WITH A PET DURING THE HOLIDAYS
The holidays mean different things to different people. Every family seems to have its own set of traditions, but one thing seems to be common among Americans during this time of year, and that’s traveling. Like Santa Claus making that long journey from the North Pole, it’s estimated that more than 90 million Americans (36 percent) will travel this holiday season, according to a recent survey conducted by Extended Stay America hotels and Kelton Global. Santa and his reindeer will hit the road during the 2017 holiday season - and he’s not alone, as nearly threequarters of Americans (69 percent) will do the same with their pets. “Pet parents are increasingly including their furry family members in their travel plans, especially during the holidays,” says pet expert Andrea
Arden, who has over 20 years of experience in the industry. “In fact, our companion animals can be such a great source of comfort while we’re away from home, that some people can’t even conceive of a vacation without their dog or cat by their side.” To ensure you and your animal companion bring cheer wherever you go, Arden has provided three essential tips for traveling with a pet this holiday season. 1. Prepare your pet Like finding the perfect gift for your loved ones, the earlier you start to plan and prepare, the easier it will be. A great holiday vacation begins with a trip to the veterinarian to make sure your animal is in good health, has all the medications they might need (and perhaps some extras) and is up-to-date on vaccines. Along
with their physical health, you want to make sure your dog or cat is mentally prepared for a journey that may involve new places, new smells and new people. To get your four-legged friends ready for the adventure, bring your pet to unfamiliar places like a local park and have them interact with new faces. When you do this, be sure to bring plenty of treats to praise your pet and reinforce that these new experiences are positive and fun. 2. Avoid guilty faux paws Forty percent of traveling pet parents feel guilty about leaving their pets home during the holidays. That’s because pets are considered part of the family, and nearly onethird of Americans (27 percent) say pets should be included in all holiday festivities. Places like Extended Stay America can help alleviate some of the stress (and guilt) pet parents might feel during this time of year; the hotel’s more than 600 properties nationwide welcome pets year-round, so families don’t need to make the difficult decision of leaving their animal companion behind. To make things even easier this season, if you book before Dec. 31 at esa.com/ holiday, your pets stay free. Consider it a retreat from the holiday madness for you and your four-legged friend. In addition to helping pet owners stay connected with their animals, Extended Stay America offers all the comforts of home for guests. That’s important, since nearly half
(47 percent) of travelers this holiday season plan to be away from home for five days or more. With fully equipped kitchens in each room so guests can still contribute a dish to their family gathering; on-site laundry facilities to keep guests looking their holiday best; and free, in-room Wi-Fi, it’s easy to feel at home at Extended Stay America. 3. Practice good petiquette We know, sometimes it’s hard to believe that your lovable, furry friend could misbehave. When traveling to unfamiliar places, a calm, happy animal makes everyone else calm and happy, too. Here are some pointers to ensure your pets stay on the nice list this holiday: * Teach your cat or dog to rest calmly in a crate before you leave, so they have a familiar spot when traveling. * If driving, take frequent breaks to walk your dog or check in on your cat. * Bring along a chew toy that is filled with a little bit of food, as this serves as a great distraction for an anxious or bored animal. * Outside, keep your pet on a leash and walk them away from public areas like flowerbeds. And always remember to clean up after them! * Never leave your pet in a room alone, unless you are sure they will not disturb neighbors. If you must, leave the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, so housekeeping won’t startle them. - (BPT)

BE A HOLIDAY HERO – GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE - GIVE BLOOD Red Cross urgently needs blood and platelet donations. Emergencies don’t take a holiday. The American Red Cross urgently needs blood and platelet donors to make an appointment now to give and help ensure patients can get the treatment they need at a moment’s notice. In November 2016, a 100-foot maple tree fell on Mike McMahon, causing life-threatening injuries. He needed 11 units of blood during emergency surgery and another seven units to treat complications after. Six weeks following the accident, McMahon was released from the hospital – just in time to spend the holidays with his family. “I’m grateful for the donors who gave me such an amazing gift – the gift of life,” said McMahon. “I was an occasional blood donor before the accident. Today, I donate as often as I can to help ensure others receive blood when they need it most.” Now is an important time to give blood and platelets. A seasonal decline in donations occurs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when donors get busy with family gatherings and travel. In addition, severe winter weather can cause blood drive cancellations and negatively affect the blood supply. Patients like McMahon can’t afford for there to be a shortage of blood. Give the gift of life – make an appointment to donate blood and platelets by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). As a special thank-you for helping meet the urgent need, those who come to give Dec. 20 through Jan. 6 will receive a long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.

How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their predonation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/ RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App. Volunteers needed Another way to support the lifesaving mission of the American Red Cross is to become a volunteer transportation specialist and deliver lifesaving blood products to local area hospitals. Volunteer transportation specialists play a very important role in ensuring an ample blood supply for patients in need by transporting blood and blood products. For more information and to apply for a volunteer transportation specialist position, visit rdcrss.org/driver.

The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

NOTICE OF PETITION FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION ESTATE OF: ARTHUR FLOYD JACKSON Case No. 30-2018-01031245-PR-LA-CJC To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ARTHUR FLOYD JACKSON. A PETITION FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION has been filed by RAPHAEL MARQUIS JACKSON in the Superior Court of California, County of ORANGE. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that RAPHAEL MARQUIS JACKSON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: JANUARY 17, 2019 at 2:00 PM in Department C08, located at 700 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE WEST, SANTA ANA, CA 92701. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 24 AMETRINE WAY, RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA 92688 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $1,083,631.22 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08005260-148. 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.
