Santa Margarita Students Celebrated the Hour of Code with Special Event It is not much of a secret that thousands of jobs in the computer science sector have been going unfilled for a number of years. These jobs require a certain level of expertise and skill that college graduates and young professionals are failing to master at the rate required to fill them. Computer Science Education Week, Dec. 7-13, was introduced in order to provide a week of tutorials and instruction to those young students and professionals who wish to sharpen their skills in order to pursue a career in the field of computer science. Arguably the most popular point in this week of education is the Hour of Code. Hosted this year on Tuesday,
Page 2
Dec. 8, the Hour of Code campaign created by Code.org was started as an initiative to provide tutorials on coding and computer science to anyone over the age of four years old. This year, over 190,000 events were held in order to give students of all the ages the opportunity to sharpen their coding skills or experience coding for the first time. The purpose of this initiative rests in the idea that coding can be simple and fun, mastered through games and activities that anyone can attempt. At Santa Margarita Catholic High School, math teacher Dr. Kim Cozean and members of the school’s Pixel Club held their own event dedicated to achieving the objectives of the overall
The Coto de Caza News
Hour of Code initiative. Dr. Cozean and Pixel Club President, junior Ethan Lee, showed Santa Margarita students from every grade level how easy it is to sit down and learn how to code through simple games and activities. Through resources such as code.org and code.globaloria. com, students explored games and tutorials in an effort to hone their coding and computer science skills. “Hour of Code is a great opportunity to kick-start a passion for code in students interested in the computer science field,” said Lee. “I still remember from fifth grade the feeling of writing my first line of code to make the computer do something – it’s a feeling that sparked my own love for programming, and I am doing everything I can to spread this feeling to as many students as possible.” Dr. Cozean endorses Computer Science Education Week and places an important emphasis on the Hour of Code because of the opportunity it offers students to achieve success in their future careers. “Computer Science is becoming more and more important in our technology based society today because it is estimated that there will be over a million jobs in the next 20 years that will go unfilled in the United States due to a lack of trained programmers,” said Cozean. “Here
at Santa Margarita, we offer two programming courses including AP Computer Science with the intention of preparing our students for 21th century careers.” The words of Dr. Cozean have resonated well with the students who are embracing Computer Science Education Week and the Hour of Code campaign. These students, most of whom are members of the Santa Margarita’s Pixel Club, have aspirations to achieve academic and professional success with what they are learning in their computer science classes and coding tutorials. “I code because I see the people around the world utilizing technology to change the course of history, and it inspires me to take part in this global community of changers,” said freshman Terrence Jung. “Although coding can be complex and difficult, the achievement behind the work is very rewarding.” The hope of Dr. Cozean and students like Ethan and Terrence is that they can continue to expand knowledge when it comes to computer science and coding so that students at Santa Margarita and other schools can develop and sharpen skills that could make them prime candidates for some of the most important jobs available to the worlds most talented math and science majors.

DECEMBER CHRISTMAS EVENT CAPS OFF ELK’S LODGE YEAR OF GIVING all as the truck pulled up to the Elks Lodge, was none other than Santa Claus Ed Mackay & Mrs. Claus Elk Pam Mackay. The jolly couple 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. Photographers Dan Dean and Dave Anderson worked their magic and provided framed color photos taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus for each guest. Elk Les Stipek with wife Maggie chaired the event. Stipek offered a special thanks to the Elks Bingo Charity committee for their ongoing sponsorship. At day’s end, a very tired but still glowing Santa said, “It’s an organized frenzy, but as usual we somehow manage to pull it off. We just love seeing so many smiles and how much happiness the party brings to these wonderful people.” Past Lodge President Pat Martino, a veteran worker at the event said, “I wouldn’t miss being here every year. Some of these same special guests have been attending this party for 25

THE ELK”S SEASON OF GIVING JANUARY TO DECEMBER, but December is always extra busy as Mission Viejo / Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge #2444 gives 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 194 special guests. They ranged in age from sixteen to sixty-six. They entered the Lodge in groups - some walked, some shuffled, some used walkers and many came in wheel chairs with the help of their caregivers. After a lunch of hot dogs, 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 along with old friends and 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 arrived with sirens blaring. Riding atop the truck, and waving to

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

‘Tis the season for glitzing up a sparkling holiday look. From office parties and family gatherings to community events and charity galas, now is the time to look and feel your best. It may be a hectic time of year, but with a little preparation and creativity you can dazzle all season long. Try these quick and easy tips from beauty and style expert Jennifer Walsh for a stellar head-to-toe holiday look: * Start with your hairstyle. Create a chic and classic look by pulling your hair back into a simple ponytail and embellish with a jeweled headband to shine in the festive holiday lights. Complete the look with understated stud earrings.
* When it comes to makeup this holiday season, you can be more daring with your eyes and lips. A deep smoky eye in shades of gray, bronze or plum is sure to turn up any look. If you are looking to catch someone special under the mistletoe, nothing stands out more than a bold red lip. * For your nails, opt for a gel manicure in a neutral hue that will go from day to night. The gel finish will last for weeks without chipping - no matter how many presents you wrap or parties you attend. Moreover, it will save you the time, hassle and expense of multiple visits to the nail salon. * A sleeveless black dress is perfect for the holidays, allowing you to
attend a variety of events by changing just a few accessories. Choose two elements of your look to introduce shine, texture or color. I often go for a bold statement necklace or add a glitzy belt. On those chilly nights, incorporate a simple wrap or cardigan. * Finish your outfit by selecting a pair of eye-catching shoes with metallic studs or jeweled trim. They are a great way to show off your personality and are sure to turn heads. Follow these tips to create a holiday style that is all your own and get ready to hit the town while enjoying the season’s festivities with family, friends and loved ones.

Santa Margarita High School Girls’ Soccer Hosts 8th Annual TOPSoccer Holiday Fest The Santa Margarita Catholic High School’s girls’ soccer program hosted their 8th annual TOPSoccer Holiday Fest for young athletes with special needs The 8th Annual TOPSoccer Holiday Fest at Santa Margarita Catholic High School on December 12th was another huge success as the attendance doubled from last year’s event. From 8:00 o’clock in the morning until after 4:00 in the afternoon, the SMCHS girls’ soccer team, coaching staff and a number of parents worked diligently making sure that the participants, ranging in age from 4-46, enjoyed a very special event.

The goal is to enable young athletes with disabilities to develop their physical fitness, technical skills, courage and self-esteem through the joy and excitement of playing soccer. As the participants arrived at 11:30, they were given their participant’s t-shirts and were assigned to a
team. The older participants played soccer and the younger children were taken to nine different stations where activities included fresh blown snow, soccer tennis, face painting, a balloon artist, a visit with Santa Claus, trampolines and plenty of shooting on goals. With holiday music playing during the entire event, the Eagle Mascot put plenty of smiles on little faces as it roamed around greeting the players.

Don’t let new year’s fervor fizzle: 6 ways to achieve meaningful change By Paul Kriegler Every year, many Americans resolve to change or improve something in their lives in the coming months. Too often, their January fervor to take control fizzles by February. But a new approach to managing resolutions could make 2016 the year you achieve meaningful, lasting change. Six tips to help you make a commitment for the new year and capitalize on the energy surrounding the change in the calendar. Avoid ambiguity Aspiring to “lose weight” isn’t an effective resolution. Instead, you should focus on a course of actions rather than the outcome such actions produce. Focus on making small, realistic commitments to goals you can achieve along the way. Lose five pounds of fat over the next three months is a much better - and more achievable resolution, plus you’ll be able to track your progress and set new goals once you achieve it. Kick off your commitment in a healthy way Demonstrate your commitment by kicking off the new year with an activity that will help you reach your goals. Walk your first 5K with your friends or family. Bring the kids for some football-inspired fitness fun or a winter pool party in the indoor pool, or even try a tri with a 60-minute indoor
workout. Resolve to take daily action - no matter how simplistic it is Most of us bite off more than we can chew and forget about what’s not within our direct control. Life is busy, everyone has demands to meet and responsibilities often prevent us from carrying out your grand intentions of turning our lifestyles on end by working out, sleeping eight hours each night or perfectly portioning our home-prepped meals. Instead of setting grand plans, resolve to string together 365 days of tiny battles won and see what happens. Chances are, if you’re constantly building up small wins each day, you’ll stay motivated and even find room to do more than the minimal effort you’d envisioned. Expect to fail sometimes If you keep things simple, an occasional failure shouldn’t be a problem. In fact, it should seem so easy to get back on the right track that you almost have to laugh at yourself for falling off in the first place. Set behavior goals that appear easy but are effective enough to make progress even if you only hit the target 80 percent of the time. Missing one day of sticking to your plan shouldn’t ruin your desire to continue, especially if the miss is an expected part of the process. Eat well to live well
The types of food you eat can be as important as, if not more important than, the calories they contain. This year, commit to really thinking about the foods you eat, every time you eat. Keep a food journal for a week and write down everything that you eat and drink as well as how much and make a point to note how you feel. Be honest with yourself about those occasions when you may choose to eat something that isn’t in the interest of your healthy eating plan. When you do an honest assessment of your eating patterns, you will likely see where moderation can work for you
and where it can’t. Take others with you on your course of action If you get down on yourself when you can’t stick to your intentions, add to your support system. Using a group or partner approach is known to increase adherence to exercise habits and healthier eating, but it also makes the process more enjoyable and more fun with the shared intention. Not only can your resolutions foster better health and happiness in your life, but they can inspire positive energy and change in others’ habits as well.
Dazzle Guests with Easy Holiday Eats Creating a delicious holiday spread that your guests will love doesn’t have to be hard. Keep it simple and serve a table of tasty appetizers rather than a full meal, especially during a season when guests likely have several stops to make. Simple Starters. Cheese and crackers or vegetable trays are reliable starters that can serve as a precursor to any meal. For an easy and eye-appealing appetizer, serve a hand-crafted cheese inside a wreath of fresh rosemary and pomegranate seeds, along with honey and premium deli crackers. The Litehouse Simply Artisan Reserve line cheeses are
prepared in open air vats in small batches, handcrafted, hand-salted and aged 100 days for top-market flavor quality and gourmet taste. For a delicious twist on a veggie tray, round out traditional favorites such as broccoli and carrots with unexpected delights, such as endive leaves and blanched green beans. Easy Flavor Boosters. Dial up the flavor of your favorite holiday recipes with a simple, single ingredient. A quality, perfectly seasoned dressing, such as those from Litehouse, are a delicious and convenient way to add flavor to any recipe, whether it’s making a salad that’s the star of a holiday party, or using it as a quickand-easy marinade for an appetizer, such as a shrimp skewer. You can also add a pinch of freeze-dried herbs to your favorite recipe for added brightness and flavor. Ready-In-Minutes Favorites. Making delectable appetizers doesn’t mean you have to spend hours in the kitchen. Timesavers, such as the easy-to-serve feta cheese crumbles used in this Holiday Bruschetta, are also a quick way to enhance any salad, cheese plate or side dish. Then round out your menu with a diverse offering of other crowd-pleasing, quick-prep items, from deviled eggs and pinwheels, to shrimp cocktail and bagel pizzas.

Transfer to 6-ounce ramekin dish and use back of spoon to tightly pack down. Place serving plate on top of ramekin and quickly invert. Carefully lift ramekin, leaving mixture in mold form. Sprinkle top with thyme, walnuts and reserved pomegranate arils. Serve with crackers.

Segerstrom Center Raises $2.1 Million for Arts and Education Programs Photos by Doug Gifford, Kimberly April and Joesan Diche Segerstrom Center for the Arts celebrated its 42nd annual Candlelight Concert and raised $2.1 million to support the Center’s internationally renowned artistic programming and acclaimed education and community engagement programs. Nearly 400 people attended Candlelight Concert, this year co-chaired by the ‘Candlelight Quartet’: Marta and Raj Bhathal and Kelly and Jim Mazzo. The entertainment was stellar, with Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum jazz star Diana Krall followed by Billboard magazine-topping legend KC & the Sunshine Band! Krall was a favorite of Henry T. Segerstrom, the Center’s Founding Chairman who passed away earlier this year. As a tribute to Segerstrom, Krall sang the Beatles’ “In My Life (I Love You More)” for him as she talked how special he was to her. Other hits she charmed the audience with was “Do I love You”, “Let’s Fall In Love”, “Sunny Side of the Street” as well as a medley of Christmas tunes that delighted everyone. Candlelight Concert 2015 colors were purple and silver, and guests entered across a lush purple carpet and past Costa Mesa’s California Elementary School hand bell choir to begin their evening. Once inside, they were welcomed by a Nutcracker who posed for photos and selfies. Candlelight Concert has many traditions, and the biggest surprise awaiting guests was the return of the coup de theatre ‘reveal’ and dinner on the Segerstrom Hall stage itself. With All the World’s a Stage as its theme, guests were taken on a virtual tour of three cultural capitals of the world: St. Petersburg, New York and Paris. Following Krall’s concert on a temporary stage built in front of the Segerstrom Hall proscenium (that also served for the performance by KC & the Sunshine Band and dancing), the towering red velvet curtain rose to ‘reveal’ the actual stage transformed into a spectacular candlelit ballroom room with crystal chandeliers and movie theater-sized screens on three sides. The screens transitioned first with sequences of images of the great artists, companies and shows that have performed on that very Segerstrom Hall stage, then paused to surround guests with famous landmarks of those cities viewed through imagined French windows and snowfall. A new transition signaled the beginning of each dinner course and another city. The fourth ‘wall’ was a view of Segerstrom Hall glittering with 2,000 tea lights, one set on every seat on the Orchestra Terrace, Lodge and Balcony levels. Candlelight Concert began in 1974 to raise funds for a major performing arts center in Orange County. The spirit of imagination and creativity remain integral to the evening’s fascination. The first was held in a vacant Kresge five-and-dime re-imagined into an elegant ballroom whose flaws were concealed with the clever use of candles and entertainment was the eponymous concert. Since then, the annual gala has been called Candlelight Concert, with entertainment by celebrated artists such as Diana Ross, Frankie Valli, Jay Leno, Natalie Cole, Tony Bennett, Kenny Loggins, Harry Belafonte, Johnny Mathis, Donna Summer, Smokey Robinson, Frank Sinatra, Jr., Broadway stars Kristen Chenoweth, Sutton Foster and many others. Segerstrom Center for the Arts is an acclaimed arts institution as well as a beautiful multi-disciplinary cultural campus. It is committed to supporting artistic excellence on all of its stages, offering unsurpassed experiences, and to engaging the entire community in new and exciting ways through the unique power of live performance and a diverse array of inspiring programs. The Center’s education programs are designed to inspire young people through the arts and reach hundreds of thousands of students each year. In addition to the presenting and producing institution Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the 14-acre campus also embraces the facilities of two independently acclaimed organizations: Tony Award®-winning South Coast Repertory and a site designated as the future home of the Orange County Museum of Art. Segerstrom Center for the Arts is also proud to serve as the artistic home to three of the region’s major performing arts organizations: Pacific Symphony, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County and the Pacific Chorale, who contribute greatly to the artistic life of the region with annual seasons at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

Pageant of the Masters Director Plays Matchmaker with 2016 Show, “Partners” Tickets for the much-anticipated 2016 Pageant of the Masters are on sale now and make the perfect holiday gift for the art lover on your list. This holiday season share the excitement with tickets to next summer’s production of Partners. The 2016 Pageant of the Masters sets out in search of stories of compelling collaborations that led to the creation of unforgettable artworks. “My inspiration for Partners began during research for the 2012 show, The Genius,” said Pageant Director Diane Challis Davy. “We discovered a portrait of the Lavoisiers, an influential husband-and-wife team doing scientific research in 18th century France. Theirs was a partnership in both science and art.” She continued, “Then, in the midst of planning a salute to movies in 2013’s The Big Picture, I began to think ‘dance in the movies’ might be a wonderful subject for an end-of-act-one finale, including a tribute to the masters of cinematic choreography and iconic dance partners, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.” The 2016 Pageant will feature artworks from many nations including France, Spain, Sweden, Italy and Mexico, in search of memorable art made possible by partnerships – between husbands and wives, artists and models, even artists and their patrons. This theatrical and musical journey will also consider how partnership can become an ideal Page 14
subject for masterpieces devoted to family, love and courtship, as well as historical, scientific and even fictional quests. Director Challis Davy acknowledged the challenge she’s already faced. “There are so many artworks inspired by partnerships, it’s difficult to narrow them down.” From the warm familial scenes of Sweden’s Carl Larsson to the surreal originality of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Partners promises a doubledose of theatrical fun and surprises. Next summer’s production will find new and exciting ways to tell the stories to be found within a gallery of masterpieces, many appearing on the Pageant stage for the very first time. As a preview, Challis Davy said, “We’re planning to incorporate video and live action sequences along with a behind-the-scenes look at how tableaux are created, and how volunteers are selected for the show. We will use the lovely moonlit landscape of our amphitheater as a perfect setting for some of the sculptural tableaux.” Challis Davy also shared a bit of Pageant history that resonates with this theme. Eighty years ago, in 1936, Laguna legends Roy and Marie Ropp presented their second summer production they had christened the Pageant of the Masters. Their blend of live music, narration and living pictures effectively created the template for today’s internationally-acclaimed
The Coto de Caza News
Pageant. And that year, the Ropps concluded their production with its largest and most ambitious tableau. The first presentation of Leonardo’s The Last Supper brought national attention to the Festival and Pageant and effectively changed the course of history for this Laguna Beach tradition. With only three exceptions, The Last Supper has been the program’s traditional finale ever since. Back in 1936, Roy Ropp looked to his friends and neighbors to realize his Pageant dreams. Today, director Challis Davy depends every bit as much on the devotion and dedication of her army of volunteers who join together each summer as cast members and backstage volunteers.
Challis Davy summed up her ambitions for next summer’s Pageant. “I think there will be partnerships presented that everyone can relate to. We hope Partners will be beautiful and entertaining, and encourage our audiences to think about the people they know and love who have inspired and encouraged them.” The Pageant of the Masters will be performed nightly from July 7 through August 31, 2016. Advance tickets are $15 - $230. As an added value, a Pageant ticket also gives unlimited admission all summer long to the Festival of Arts Fine Art Show. Tickets may be purchased by calling 1-800-487-3378 or online at www. PageantTickets.com.

Good Luck Foods to Serve for New Year Celebrations By Shelly McRae New Year celebrations symbolize the setting aside of the past and looking forward to a new year of prosperity and good health. When planning your New Year’s party, invite good fortune into your home with some of these good luck foods and traditions. Southern Traditions Hoppin’ John, a dish made from black-eyed peas and pork fat, is thought to have its origins from the African slaves of the early 1800s. As for its powers to attract good luck, that lies in a civil war legend. Lauren Salkeld, writing for Epicurous. com, explains that during a prolonged battle in Vicksburg, Mississippi food stores were nearly depleted when a large cache of black-eyed peas was discovered. The legume has since been considered a symbol of good luck. Serve the Hoppin’ John with an abundance of greens and cornbread. The greens, preferably collard greens, represent money, or more specifically, folding money, while the cornbread represents coin because it is the color of gold coin. European Traditions Greens aren’t just found in the good
luck lore of the south. In Germany and Ireland, green cabbage is served with braised pork or corned beef. Legumes also grace the tables of New Year revelers in the European tradition; lentils in particular are paired with pork, as the lentils resemble coin and pork has its own place in the celebrations. Pork as a New Year’s Eve celebratory food has origins from Spain, Portugal and Austria, among other European countries. The traditions include such delicious dishes as roasted suckling pig, roast pork, pork sausages and pigs’ feet. The pig is a good luck symbol for a prosperous New Year because of its habit of rutting forward; it digs in and pushes forward, letting nothing prevent it from reaching its goal. Hispanic Traditions The tradition of eating a grape at each stroke of the clock at midnight on New Year’s Eve originated in Spain, and was a response to a grape surplus in 1909. It was a practical solution and is now associated with foretelling the fortunes of the coming year. The tradition is common throughout Mexico and South America. The idea behind this tradition is
to eat a grape at each chime of the clock, not to be confused with each second of a countdown to midnight. At midnight, in Spain, the clock in the Plaza del Sol chimes 12 times. A chime lasts just long enough to eat a grape- quickly. Each grape represents one month of the coming year. The first grape is indicative of January, then, and
if sour, January may be a difficult month. Along with the tradition of 12 grapes is custom of placing a coin in the pan dulce, a Mexican sweet bread. The baker in the family hides a coin in one of the treats, and the recipient of the coin is said to have good luck throughout the year.

Tips for hosting a new years party that shines Entertaining with family and friends is one part of the holiday season that we all look forward to. But holiday hosting can sometimes be harried. To keep you and your guests merry this season, consider hosting a wine party that shines. David Mirassou, wine expert and sixth generation of America’s oldest winemaking family, believes that food and wine enhance one another and are best shared with family and friends. His secret to hosting a stressfree soiree is planning for a creative, small-bite menu with wine pairings that highlight the flavors of each dish. “The wine you select should complement the food, look beautiful on the table and inspire toasts,” says Mirassou. “The right wine can add elegance to any holiday occasion and it can play an important role as both a gift and entertaining staple at celebrations throughout the season.” Here are a few wine entertaining and gift-giving tips to get you in the holiday spirit: * Offer small bites and festive fare. Prepare an assortment of appetizers and small plates for entertaining, allowing your guests more sampling opportunities and letting you out of the kitchen to mingle more.
* Create a cozy setting. Consider setting up food stations in your home to allow guests to congregate in different areas. Floor cushions around a coffee table and coasters on the mantle will encourage mingling. * Plan to offer your guests both a red wine and a white wine. A Chardonnay has wide appeal because it has fruitforward flavors to maximize food pairing options. A Pinot Noir also has great versatility in food and wine pairings. * How much wine should you serve? A general rule of thumb is to plan on about one glass of wine per person for each hour of the gathering. * Stretch your wine dollar. Now is the time to take advantage of price breaks for purchases of six or more bottles at many supermarket chains. For an event, the savings can really add up. * Personalize a gift from the vine. Not hosting this season? With very little effort, wine can be a gift with a personal touch. Embellish wine gift bags or boxes with festive ribbon and trim or add a custom neck tag by writing a note about the wine you are giving. Having trouble picking the right wine to give as a gift? Visit Mirassou.com to take their quiz and
see what’s right for you, along with some wine pairing ideas. You can also visit the site or Facebook.com/ MirassouWinery for more entertaining tips and recipe ideas. Try this Belgian Endive and Dried Cherry Quinoa Salad - an easy-toprepare recipe that is also festive in its presentation. Belgian Endive with Dried Cherry Quinoa Salad Prep time: 15 minutes Cook/stand time: 22 minutes Chill time: at least 1 hour Ingredients: Salad: 1 cup quinoa 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or broth 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped 1/4 cup snipped fresh chives 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted 24 Belgian endive spears Dressing: 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon stone ground mustard 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste Directions: Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh sieve; drain well. Bring stock and quinoa to a boil in a small
saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let cool. Whisk together all dressing ingredients and stir into quinoa with cherries, chives and thyme. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Stir in walnuts and spoon into endive spears. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired. Makes 8 servings. Recipe tip: This light appetizer may be prepared one day ahead. Add walnuts and spoon into endive spears just before serving. Use a tri-color quinoa blend for extra color. Pairs best with Mirassou Sunset Red.

Festival of Trees brings the holidays home and helps local families Local Realtor Ken Bowen Honored for His Service to The Organization
Dimitre Mihaylov, Daniela Mihaylov, Jody Bowen, Ken Bowen, Carolina Bowen and Christina Bowen. A holiday tradition of hope continued at the Hotel in Newport Beach as South County Outreach presented its 2nd annual Festival of Trees event on Dec. 3 to raise funds to fight hunger and homelessness. The Fairmont hotel in Newport Beach was transformed into a winter wonderland with elaborately decorated trees, each with its own unique theme. Trees were sponsored by businesses, organizations or individuals and were the centerpieces of the Silver and Gold Reception and tree auction. The Bowen Team of Re/Max Real Estate was a tree sponsor for the second year in a row and their beautifully decorated tree this year was “A Culinary Christmas” with a sparkling wine and food motif. Ken Bowen has been a member of the South County Outreach board of directors since December 2012 and was honored this year on National Philanthropy Day for his service to the organization. The Silver and Gold Reception featured wine, hors d’ oeuvres and seasonal entertainment in addition Page 18
to the live auction during which the spectacular trees were sold to support South County Outreach programs housing, food and workforce training programs Orange County. “Festival of Trees highlights the need to fight homelessness and bring hope for the holidays because without a home there is no place for a tree and joy is in short supply,” said South County Outreach Executive Director Lära Fisher. The nonprofit also holds a hungerawareness fundraiser, Empty Bowls, in the spring. The event will be March 24, 2016 at the El Niguel Country Club and will feature a unique array of soups prepared by local chefs, a silent auction and entertainment. Each guest will take home a handmade ceramic bowl as a reminder of those who are hungry, whose bowls are truly empty. For more information on South County Outreach, visit www.sco-oc.org or call 949-380-8144. The organization has many opportunities for business involvement, individual volunteering and is always happy to help organize food drives.

According to reliable sources such as the U.S. census bureau the area served by the Coto de Caza News one of Orange County’s highest income groups.

5 Ways to Make the Most of your new Tech Gifts No matter the occasion – holidays, birthdays or promotions – technology gifts are always on the top of wish lists. With today’s devices spanning a wide range of price points and features, selecting the right item is just the beginning. When buying a tech gift, there are several things to keep in mind. Ensure your intended gets maximum enjoyment from your tech gift with these tips. 1. Features and functions. It can be tempting to buy the latest model with a plethora of fancy functions, but if the person you’re buying for won’t use them, you may be better off saving money on a version with a lighter feature package. Remember, too, that for those with little tech experience, the excess can be overwhelming. Your best bet: shop for the features you need, but don’t over-reach. 2. Support and guidance. Who doesn’t want a tech hero waiting in the wings to answer questions, help with set up and solve problems? With so many tech gadgets connecting via apps through your smartphone, you may be surprised to learn that your wireless company offers comprehensive tech support from Asurion. Tech experts are available via chat, phone
and email to provide help across any device or platform. They can help with things such as troubleshooting a specific operating system or connecting devices to a digital home network. 3. Power source. Even devices with superior battery life run out of juice eventually. Help extend the usability of your tech gift by supplying extra batteries or a charging plug if they aren’t included in the original packaging. Or consider a car charging system to help restore battery life on the go. 4. Add-on accessories. The market for tech devices is far and wide with options that simply add some bling to more practical choices that help protect devices from damage. Most devices don’t truly require many additional accessories, but covers and cases that help protect devices against dropping are a smart investment. Other smart bets are accessories that will enhance the product’s use, such as a pair of quality headphones. 5. Smartphone protection. An insurance plan helps protect your purchase from loss, theft and accidental damage, ensuring it can be enjoyed longer. Research your options before shopping, and be sure to thoroughly
explore the coverage plans; typically only your wireless carrier offers comprehensive coverage for both loss and theft. Other third party products usually only cover accidental damage and may have other restrictions to limit coverage.
Asurion partners with the leading wireless carriers so shoppers can easily add premier support and protection when shopping for technology gifts for friends and family. Learn more at asurion.com. Photo courtesy of Getty Images

The holidays are a fantastic time to amp up your makeup routine with cheerful hues, subtle shimmers and bold, beautiful eyes. To help bring your look together for the holidays, make transforming your holiday makeup look effortless. Whether a gift for you or a loved one, a good brush set will make you feel like a makeup pro. From a flawless base to a smoky eye. Try out these makeup looks to get into the holiday spirit. Everyday glam makeup look For girly gatherings, festive first dates and the legendary holiday office party, this look tastefully embraces the sparkle of the season using just three versatile makeup brushes. 1. After prepping skin, sweep your face with powder using an Angled Powder Brush to flatten skin and set your face.
2. Using the same brush, work bronzer all around your face. To add a contour, pinch the brush and work it down your cheekbone, letting the brush do the work. 3. Brighten eyes and lift dark circles by applying concealer under the eyes and in the inner corners, also applying around the base of your nose to cover imperfections, using an Oval Shadow Brush. 4. Flip the shadow brush to apply a pop of eye shadow over the eyelids for a subtle wash of color, and finish eyes with two coats of black mascara. 5. Use a Tapered Blush Brush to apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. 6. With the same brush, layer highlighter on the top of the cheekbones for a slight glimmer. 7. Finish off the look with a light pink lip gloss. Festive holiday party makeup look From dinner parties with friends, to hitting the town to toast the New Year in style, only an ultra-glamorous holiday look will do. 1.

brush to work primer into the skin. 2. Layer foundation over the top, working the product through the center of the face toward the jaw, making sure to also sweep under the eyes for a flawless base. 3. Apply eyelid primer using the base shadow brush, then set with a powder. 4. Next, run a gray shadow through the socket of the eye to create a soft shadow. 5. Dip the fine liner brush in gel liner for added definition. Use the side of
the brush to draw a long, straight line and the tip of the brush to create a soft cat eye. 6. Complete your enhanced eye look with a sweep of black mascara. 7. For a pop of color, work blush across your cheeks using the multi task brush. 8. Using the angled highlighter brush, apply a cream highlighter to the tops of the cheekbones and under the brow bones. 9. Complete the look with a bold red or dark plum lipstick.
What’s Your New Year’s Resolution? By David Robertson Christmas has past and the new years celebrations are upon us, but has all this over indulgence had an effect on our health? The new year is a great opportunity for kicking some of those bad habits and working off some of those gained extra pounds! Lets look at the most popular new years resolutions; Spending more time with those important to you Make plans to spend more quality time with friends, family and loved ones. Sometimes it just takes a moment to step back and re-evaluate what is important to you in life and to make sure you reflect this in your free time. There may be a need for big changes in your life to free up time to do this, maybe you’ve been devoting too many evenings to selfish activities. More exercise In these times, many of us don’t get enough regular exercise from our daily working lives. This can lead to long term health problems both physically and mentally, effecting your motivation, zest for life, well being, physical appearance, stamina, life expectancy and many more factors. Whether you decide to join a gym, go for daily jogs, cycle or work out at home etc.. the trick is to keep at it. Try to find a way of exercising that is enjoyable to you and will fit easily into your daily life otherwise you may not stick at it for long. Dieting Everyone loves to indulge over Christmas with all that extra food in the cupboards. The New Year is the perfect time to re-evaluate your eating habits, Page 24
so that the over indulgence in food and drink doesn’t turn into a habit that follows on into the new year. Enjoy life It’s very easy in this day and age to get caught up in the rat race and lose perspective of what we are doing on this planet. Sometimes we need to look at whats important to ourselves and begin making sure our efforts in life complement what you feel is important as an individual. Quit smoking Everyone knows, or should know the terrible effects that smoking has on the body. After a matter of weeks of quitting the habit the quitter will feel noticeably healthier physically, but the battle will still be a long and challenging one. Quit drinking Many people undertake a detox around this time of year, or even go the full hog and give up completely. Many people over Christmas and new year drink more than they normally would and this alone can be a reason to start a detox. The effects of alcohol on the liver can be fatal when in excess and even on a small scale drinking effects sleep and energy levels. Get out of debt Christmas affects all of us financially and for some this may have pushed the bank balance into the minus. In other cases the bank balance may have already been in the minus, either way this is a great time to make those changes needed in order to get your life back on track financially. Learn something new
The Coto de Caza News
Learning or doing something new is a great way to start the new year, this could be something that puts you in good stead in time to come, such as doing evening classes or it may be something just for personal enjoyment such as horse riding.

American New Years Traditions Explained By Tracy DeLuca New Year’s is a time to celebrate the end of the past year and welcome a new year. It is a time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. The parties and traditions surrounding this time are many and varied. But where do they come from? Who started them and why? New Year ’s Eve has specific traditions and celebrations as does New Year’s Day. Here are some specific traditions from America and where they come from. Auld Lang Syne - A traditional Scottish song that was first published in 1796, Auld Lang Syne is the most popular song that no one knows the words to! Guy Lombardo played the song on New Year’s Eve in 1929 and it has become a tradition ever since. The song celebrates the remembrance of old friends. Kissing At Midnight - On New Year’s Eve at the stroke of Midnight, everyone kisses. Even if you do not have someone to kiss, you wish you were kissing. This is more than just a celebration, it is a tradition with a base. It is generally believed that whatever you are doing when New Year’s day arrives is what you will be doing for the rest of the year. So, kissing your loved ones is just assuring yourself that you will be doing more of that over the coming year. Noisemakers - Trumpet like noisemakers, loud yells of “hooray!” and blaring music are traditional at Midnight. All of that noise is not just joy at the change in seasons, it has a basis in ancient beliefs as well. When gas and electric lights f i r s t b e c a m e u s e d p o p u l a r y, it became a tradition to turn on all of your lights and go to the church at Midnight on New Year’s Eve to hear the bells ringing. People began taking more noisemakers and hollering to make noise as well. This tradition originated from a belief that evil spirits would be scared away by the noise. Over the years, this morphed into the loud noisemaking that is so popular at Midnight on New Year’s Eve. Fireworks - A close partner to the noisemaking at Midnight is the numerous fireworks displays and the blowing up of firecrackers on New Year ’s. This goes hand in hand with the belief that loud noises frighten away evil spirits. The Chinese, of course,
are credited with inventing fireworks. Fireworks are also believed to draw good luck. Making Toasts - In ancient England, the saxons used a Wassail bowl filled with alcoholic beverages. A large cup might be passed around with a piece if hard bread in the bottom. Everyone drank from the cup and yelled out good wishes. Then, the host would eat the bread from the bottom of the cup. This is where the traditional “toasting” came from. Now, we make toasts honoring people and wishing good luck and a prosperous New Year. The Ball Dropping - The best known tradition and largest celebration in America is the New Year’s celebration in Times Square in New York City where “the ball drops”. This tradition started in 1907 and is the most widely viewed, and attended, celebration on New Year’s Eve. The ball dropping signifies the end of the old and the beginning of the new. The countdown and drop derive from a time signal used in naval harbors at noontime. Father Time and the New Years Baby - Many New Year’s decorations feature Father Time and the New Year’s Baby. The old year is represented by Father Time, a bearded old man with a walking stick, who carries an hour glass to symbolize the movement of time. Father Time has roots in the Greek god Chronos, as well as the Grim Reaper. The new year’s baby traces its ancestry to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, who regarded the baby as a symbol of rebirth. The image of a baby with a New Year banner was brought to America by Germans immigrants. So, the old year hands over it’s responsibility to the new year, a time of rebirth and new chances. New Year ’s Resolutions - It is generally believed that the ancient Babylonians were the first people to make resolutions on New Year’s. Early Christians believed that the first day of the new year should be spent reflecting on your past actions and resolving to improve oneself in the coming year. From this has grown the tradition of making New Year’s resolutions. The tradition of breaking them is probably just as old! Tournament of Roses Parade - One of my personal favorite
traditions for New Year’s day is to watch the Pasadena, California Tournament of Roses Parade on television. The parade first started in 1886 when members of the Valley Hunt Club decorated their carriages with flowers for a parade celebrating the ripening of the orange crop. Now, we watch the parade and marvel at the beautiful floats covered in thousands and thousands of flowers. The Rose Bowl football game that follows the parade is another tradition. Eating Black Eyed Peas - In the southern part of the US, a major tradition is eating Black Eyed peas on New Year’s day. S u p p o s e d l y, d u r i n g the Ci vi l Wa r, b l a c k e y e d p e a s w e r e “cow peas” used for feeding cattle. But, during the Battle
of Vicksburg, the town was cut off from all food supplies for 40 days. The people survived by eating the “cow peas” that the enemy troops had left behind. Since that time, they have been regarded as bringing good luck to those who eat them. They are usually paired with greens which are a symbol for wealth. And there they are, some of the most famous traditions of New Year’s in America. Hopefully, you have some idea as to why we do the things we do on New Year’s Eve and Day now. So, kiss someone you love, make a toast, make some resolutions and eat some black eyed peas this year!

Whether you plan to store that wine you received as a gift for weeks, months or years, here are a few tips to ensure your wine ages well: n Store bottles on their sides. The cork can dry out and crack if not in contact with wine. n Keep bottles between 55-65 F. The perfect cellar temperature to store wine is 55 F. Cooler temperatures can slow the aging process. n Keep humidity between 60-80 percent. Low humidity can cause evaporation and oxidation while high humidity encourages mold. n Keep temperature swings to a minimum. Temperature fluctuation causes wine to expand and contract, damaging the cork. n Store in a dark place. Light exposure can cause wine proteins to become hazy and also cause aroma and flavor change. n Store in a location free of odor and vibration. Vibration can hinder wine’s development and odors can seep in through the cork.

In the event that the deed of trust described in this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is secured by real property containing from one to four single-family residences, the following notices are provided pursuant to the provisions of Civil Code section 2924f: 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’s 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 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 75408. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not be immediately reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Dated: 12/15/2015 RESS Financial Corporation, a California corporation, as Trustee By: BRUCE R.

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www. nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20120015000040. 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.

Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. 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 FOR SALE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855)986-9342, or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com using the file number assigned to this case 2014-1991 . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD SUBJECT TO THE NINETY DAY RIGHT OF REDEMPTION CONTAINED IN CIVIL CODE SECTION 1367.4(c) (4). PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE A DEBT COLLECTOR AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. Date: 12/14/2015.

On January 12, 2016 at 09:00 AM, on the front steps to the entrance of the Orange Civic Center, 300 E.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 27403 PASEO SIENNA, SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA 92675 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 $516,821.43 (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.

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.
