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, 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 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.

How to Care for Your Poinsettia After Christmas By Deborah Anderson Now that Christmas is over, and the New Year has arrived, some people are facing the question of what to do with that Poinsettia they enjoyed during the holidays. With the proper care, enjoying these beautiful plants for many years is possible. Poinsettias seem to follow the seasons when it comes to caring for them. During the late winter or early spring, in February or early March, these plants will need the old flowering stems cut back to 4-6 inches in height to promote new growth. During this period, the plants will also need fertilizing monthly; they will need 6 hours of light, they will need to be kept away from heat sources and the moisture must be checked daily. Water when the soil is dry. In late spring or into the summer, repot the plant using a pot 2-3 inch larger in diameter than the one the previous one. Moisten the soil, and then set the plant in a sunny window. When all threat of frost has passed and the night temperatures are above 60 degrees, move the plant outside. The poinsettia will need to be set in a shady spot for a couple of weeks so it can acclimate to the outdoors. After the acclimation, the plant, still in its pot, is ready to place into a sunny, protected flowerbed. Turn the pot regularly to keep the plant from rooting through the hole in the bottom of the pot; a quarter of a turn weekly should be enough to prevent the rooting. The turning will also help the plant grow evenly. Shaping the plant also takes place during this season. If you desire a short plant with many flow-
ers, pinch the growing shoots off to produce a bushy plant with more flowers. Pinching will only need to occur every 3-4 weeks, according to how fast the plant grows. Be sure to leave 2-3 large fully expanded leaves below the pinched area for a guide to tell when the shoots are ready for pinching. Continue the pinching until midAugust. The poinsettia plant should be kept growing actively throughout the summer by watering regularly and feeding every two weeks with a complete 20-20-20 soluble fertilizer. In the fall, before night temperatures drop below 55 degrees, check the poinsettia for pests and diseases, then brought indoors and placed in a sunny location, preferably in a south window. Reduce fertilization because the plant will begin growing slower and the plant will begin its flowering process. Poinsettia flowering is photoperiodically induced, meaning that the flowers will begin forming when the days are short and the nights are long. With this in mind, the poinsettia must not receive any light at night or the flowering will not occur. If the plant is in a location with light, cover it with a heavy paper bag, or place it in a dark closet at dusk ev-
ery day, beginning in late September or early October. Because the flower set depends on dark periods longer than 12 hours, keeping the plant completely dark from 5p.m. to 8 a.m. from the end of September to at least December 15 is very important. The dark period should continue until the floral bracts show definite color and are almost fully expanded. Temperatures should not fall below 55 degrees or go above 70 degrees and the poinsettia will need as much sunlight as possible. If you are having trouble with your poinsettia, look at the temperatures, light intensity, nutrition, and moisture in the soil or the photoperiod method. All these can cause delayed maturity in a poinsettia.
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. ~Helen Keller

New Ways to Enjoy Chocolate Humans have adored the taste of chocolate for thousands of years. Though generally viewed as a sweet treat today, it likely started as bitter beverage drunk by the Mayan people. Chocolate has seen many iterations since then, including the beloved chocolate candy we know today; however, there are other ways to enjoy chocolate in addition to the bar or bonbon. Chocolate expert and historian Beth Kimmerle offers some new uses for chocolate that you might not know about. Ditch the preconceived notions. Think chocolate is just for ice cream and late night snacks? Think again. Cocoa powder, a trendy spice for savories, is great on meats, while cocoa nibs can be used as a substitute for nuts in everything from baked goods to salads. Cook with cocoa. Try cocoa butter in place of cooking oil. Not only does it add great flavor, but it also imparts extra smoothness to desserts such as cookies and brownies. Drink it (not just in hot chocolate). Chocolate and red wine naturally complement each other and now, instead of tasting them side-by-side, you can enjoy them together in one glass. ChocolatRouge Wines blend
fine red wine and rich chocolate flavors in one bottle, creating a deliciously different twist for chocolate and wine enthusiasts. You can even use the wine in a cocktail inspired by a classic cake, and in a fruity sangria. Chocolate Sangria (Serves 4) 1 1 1 Red 5
apple, cut orange, cut Handful of sliced grapes bottle ChocolatRouge Sweet ounces soda water Dash of brandy
Combine wine and fruit in a pitcher and let sit for one hour. Then, add soda water and brandy. Serve over ice with a twist of orange as a garnish. Red Velvet 2 ounces ChocolatRouge Milk Chocolate Several splashes pomegranate syrup Blend ingredients with ice until smooth, and serve.

New year, new you: Five easy tips to get more fiber For many, the new year provides a reason to examine the changes we would like to make for a healthier life. This January will be no different for the many Americans who will think about improving their diet. Focusing on fiber intake is one important and easy modification to consider. Research has shown that fiber has a wide range of health benefits, but Americans struggle with getting their daily dose. The FDA recommends consuming 20 to 30 grams of fiber per day, but less than 3 percent of Americans actually do so. “When it’s New Year’s resolution time, most people focus on foods they should avoid to make their diets more healthful,” says registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner, brand ambassador for Sunsweet Growers Inc., the world’s largest handler of dried fruits. “I love talking to people about adding fiber to the diet because it flips the typical healthy eating resolution on its head. Instead of focusing on what you can’t eat, it’s all about selecting those better-for-you foods like prunes and prune juice to add into the diet. It’s a more positive way of looking at health.”
People typically associate fiber with digestive health, and fiber does play a critical role in regulating digestion. In addition to digestive health, the benefits of fiber include: * Helping to keep you feeling fuller longer, which can aid in weight management * Lowering cholesterol, specifically with soluble fiber found in foods like apples, oats and beans * Reducing the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes According to Blatner, adding fiber into the diet can be easy and flavorful with just a little planning. Ideally, she recommends choosing foods with natural fiber rather than overly processed foods with added fiber. Natural fiber sources give you the added bonus of vitamins, minerals and healthy phytochemicals. Here are Blatner’s five quick tips to increase natural fiber intake this new year: “Veggify.” Add vegetables to your omelets, sandwiches, pizza and pasta. Add veggies dipped in lowfat dressing at lunch and start dinner with a little garden salad with chopped prunes for extra flavor. Bean boost. Add beans and lentils
to up your fiber intake. Add black beans to tacos, garbanzos to salads, kidney beans to stir fries, white beans to pasta dishes and lentils to ground beef before making burger patties. Fruity snack time. On-the-go portable fruits such as apples, pears and oranges are good betweenmeal choices. Also Sunsweet Ones are individually wrapped prunes, which make it easy to toss into your purse, care or desk drawer as an easy anytime snack. Something Blatner loves is a DIY trail mix with Sunsweet’s Plum Amazins diced
dried plums. Grain swap. Whole grain toast instead of white toast for breakfast, brown rice stir fry for lunch, whole grain crackers for a snack and whole grain pasta for dinner can go a long way in helping you to achieve the daily fiber recommendation. Drink up. Fiber is not only for eating. You can also drink it. Sunsweet’s PlumSmart Light and Amazing Prune Light both provide a good source of fiber with fewer calories and sugar than regular juice.
Think mobile: marketing tips for local businesses No doubt about it, mobile technology is transforming the way consumers live and businesses operate. Today nearly 5 billion people use mobile phones around the world, with 1 billion of those phones being smartphones. According to research conducted by venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, Americans check their smartphones more than 150 times a day. Thanks to mobile technology, businesses of all sizes and industries - from your local brick and mortar shop to your favorite online retail site - have the opportunity to easily reach people on the go. Take Accents Style for example. This clothing boutique in Arlington, Texas, creatively reaches mobile customers by hanging incentives in the dressing rooms, including a 10 percent discount on a purchase when customers “check-in,” and a free pair of gold or silver hoop earrings when they “like” Accents Style’s Facebook page. Lucy Huang, owner of the business, says that her mobile efforts are paying off. “Our posts get great responses. The check-ins via mobile are big incentives for our customers to come into our boutique,” she says. Mobile is a vital channel for you to reach your customers and will Page 6
only continue to grow. While mobile is a great vehicle for businesses to market to their customers, many business owners don’t know where to start or think it’s too complicated to do well. Below are answers to some of the most-asked questions from local businesses on how to more effectively reach the right audiences on the go. 1. As a business owner, how do I market on mobile without using a ton of resources? I’m just one person and don’t have the time. A business’ social presence is a free and easy way to connect with potential customers on mobile. That’s because what you do on your page instantly translates to mobile - and your customers are already there, waiting to hear from you. Of the 1.15 billion people on Facebook, more than 70 percent access the site from their mobile phone. Furthermore, people on the go are actively looking for businesses in their area: according to a recent Google study, 95 percent of smartphone users search for local information and 59 percent of smartphone users visited in-person after searching for local information. To effectively reach the right customer at the right time, you can tap in to the mobile ad targeting features available across
The Coto de Caza News
many social platforms. For example, you can target people broadly or narrow down to specifics such as gender and interests. BarkBox, a company that delivers a monthly box of dog goodies (treats, products, toys, etc.) to dog owners, targeted friends of their fans on Facebook who were females and had an interest in dogs. After seeing success, BarkBox deepened their targeting by adding in geographic areas and age ranges and saw even greater results. 2. What are the best ways to create mobile ads? Given people on their phones usually have limited time and attention spans, it’s important to create compelling and concise content including photos and short videos. For example, North Carolina-based barbecue company Bone Suckin’ Sauce promoted its Facebook photo post on mobile with the hook: “Which is better on the grill? Fish, chicken, vegetables, or steaks?” to encourage conversation among fans. The company saw an 83 percent increase in online store sales as a result
of promoting posts like these. 3. How can I manage my mobile marketing when I’m on the go, too? Tools like Facebook’s Pages Manager app or Hoot Suite’s Social Media Manager app allow you to manage your pages on the go, whether you post photos, respond to customers via comments, or create ad campaigns. You need to think mobile to grow your business Just looking at the growing number of times per day people access the Web on their phones, it’s no secret that mobile marketing needs to become an integral part of your consumer marketing strategy. So don’t wait any longer: Think mobile and you’ll be able to reach new customers and keep current customers returning.

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, Page 8
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
The Coto de Caza News
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!

Holiday Beauty Tips for Less The holidays are filled with occasions to see loved ones, relatives and old friends. With plenty of holiday parties and photo opportunities, you want to look your best even if you don’t have hours to spend at the salon. Style expert Lilliana Vazquez of CheapChicas.com offers some helpful tips on how to look sensational without breaking the budget: Keep skin moisturized. With the dry winter air, make sure to keep your skin moisturized, especially when you’re showing more skin in cocktail dresses. One of Lilliana’s favorite inexpensive tricks that works wonders is coconut oil. It absorbs quickly into skin and smells amazing. You can also use it in your hair as a leave-in conditioner. Add a splash of berry. There have been tons of berry tones on the runways, and one easy way to work them into your wardrobe is on your lips. A raspberry or burgundy shade is the perfect way to boost your holiday look. Make sure to keep lips moisturized before you apply. Try a sugar scrub or rich balm to keep your pout kissable. Stay Smooth. One thing you want to avoid before you step under the mistletoe is unwanted facial hair. Make sure your face is smooth and photo-ready by using a depilatory or wax. “I love Nair products because they’re effective and easy on the wallet,” said Vazquez. “Try the Nair Precision Face & Upper Lip Kit that comes with a special rebalancing moisturizer so it’s gentle on your skin.” Learn more at www.NairLikeNeverBefore.com. Show off your face. Don’t worry if you don’t have time for a blowout hairstyle. One of the chicest holiday looks is a chignon, which pairs perfectly with metallic-shaded eyes and strong lips that are hot this season. Try a low bun off to one side for a look that keeps the emphasis on you. There you have it – some easy ways to look your holiday best without spending a lot of time or money. Now, that’s something to be merry about.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts celebrated the 40th anniversary of its Candlelight Concert fundraiser; during the annual holiday gala, nearly 400 donors and friends gathered to support the Center and honor the past chairs of the Candlelight Concerts. This year’s event raised $2.2 million. True to its name the entrance, lobbies and Segerstrom Hall glowed in candlelight and the evening’s entertainment featured Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Beach Boys. Betty Huang served as chair with Dee Higby, vice chair. Piaget was this year’s Presenting Sponsor. Center chairman Larry Higby welcomed the guests by noting that the money raised “will help to ensure the continued success of Segerstrom Center for the Arts … support that will help the Center continue in its mission of bringing the world’s finest artists to Southern California for all to enjoy … and support that allows the Center to continue expanding its nationally renowned education programs, which bring the magic of the performing arts to over 300,000 students, families, and teachers each year.” Terrence W. Dwyer, the Center’s president, thanked underwriters, among them Presenting Sponsor Piaget and Diamond Sponsors Jane and Jim S.L. Huang, with Elizabeth An, Gordon Clune and Elizabeth Segerstrom Driscoll, S.L. and Betty Huang and Elizabeth and Henry T. Segerstrom. The “event” began as guests walked through the Center’s candlelit Arrival (Photo by Steve Dawson) Gardens and past Sonora Elementary’s Bell Choir to enter Segerstrom Hall’s lobby. Sonora Elementary, located in Costa Mesa, utilizes many of the Center’s Arts Teach programs. The reception offered the first Candlelight Concert silent auction – two surfboards signed by the Beach Boys and donated for the occasion by Deborah and Larry Bridges. Deborah Bridges and Mark Johnson were the lucky winners of the auction. The champagne bar was provided by Elizabeth and Henry T. Segerstrom and Champagne by Shanaz and Jack Langson and Betty and S.L. Huang. As always, Segerstrom Hall was transformed into a spectacular ballroom, with tiers covering the 1,000 seats of Segerstrom Hall in graduated tiers for dining. And as the music by The Beach Boys revved up following dinner, dancing overflowed from the dance floor onto the tiers and through the tables. A highlight of the evening was a medley of carols sung the 13 past Candlelight Concert chairs attending accompanied by thirty participants from the Center’s Six Days of Broadway program. This education program is a summer musical theater camp that offers classes in musical performance, monologue interpretation, audition technique, scene work, dance and more. Tony Award® nominee and Broadway/film star Erin Dilly led this past summer’s 2013 Candlelight Chairs - Dee Higby, Ruth Ding, Betty Huang (Photo program along with Broadway veterans Stephen Buntrock, Danny Gurwin, by Steve Dawson) Hank Stratton and other guest instructors. The inaugural fundraiser to help raise money to build a major performing arts center in Orange County was held in a vacant Kresge five-and-dime. It was transformed into an elegant ballroom with the use of candles. Since then, the annual gala has been called Candlelight Concert. Each event includes a cocktail reception, dinner, dancing and a concert by a major artist. These include such greats as Diana Ross, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, Jay Leno, Natalie Cole, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, Kenny Loggins, Harry Belafonte, Johnny Mathis, Donna Summer and Smokey Robinson. The Center is an acclaimed arts institution and multi-disciplinary cultural campus. It is committed to supporting artistic excellence on all of its stages and engaging the entire community in new and exciting ways through the unique power of live performance and a diverse array of inspiring education programs. As Orange County’s largest nonprofit arts organization, the Center owns and operates the 3,000-seat Segerstrom Hall and intimate 250-seat Founders Hall, which opened in 1986, and the 2,000-seat Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, which opened in 2006 and also houses the 500-seat Samueli Theater, the Lawrence and Kristina Dodge Education Center’s studio performance space and Boeing Education Lab. The Center also includes the spacious outdoor Arts Plaza, on which year round community events and free Pat and Dick Allen (Photo by Steve Dawson) performances are held.

Holiday Entertaining on a Budget This busy holiday season, entertaining may be at the top of your to-do list, but costs can stack up quickly, especially when it comes to wine. Believe it or not, you can find award-winning wines at low prices – allowing you to spread holiday cheer without breaking the bank. “I know what a struggle it is to balance kids, work, family and the holidays – especially while staying on a budget,” said Amy Clark, founder of MomAdvice.com and value shopping expert. “This year, don’t skip throwing a holiday party. Instead, wow your guests with wines from ALDI. These wallet-friendly wines won’t put a cramp in your holiday style or your budget.” Clark shares some of her favorite awardwinning wines from ALDI that will make the perfect accompaniments to each of your holiday courses: Sovinello Private Collection, Pinot Noir (Italy) – Consists of cherry and strawberry flavors with a hint of chocolate. The unique flavor combined with juicy plum works well with pork, turkey, grilled salmon and firm cheeses. Landshut Riesling (Germany) – Aromas of mild lemon butter cream, pistachio nougat and peach jam. Tangy orange zest with a slight mineral finish. This versatile wine compliments a variety of foods, including ham or chicken, and, of course, German-style dishes. Walker Napa Valley Red Wine (California) – Flavors of dark cherry, blackberry, raspberry, black
In October, six wines received medals from the Beverage Testing Institute in the 2011 World Value Wine Competition. Most are priced at $4.99 or less, making it easy to serve highquality wines for low prices. If you want to serve your guests an elegant yet affordable appetizer, try this recipe from ALDI for Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce, and serve it with one of the ALDI award-winning wines. Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce Serves 10
pepper and vanilla enhance this blend of Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, providing the perfect companion for pasta dishes. Chaza Moscato (South Africa) – Light body with a sweet taste thanks to its pear, apricot and sweet peach flavors. Its crisp, refreshing finish balances well with spicy dishes, salads and desserts, or just enjoy it on its own. Gonfalone Chianti (Italy) – Brilliant ruby color, distinctive bouquet and dry, yet rounded flavor. Compliments roast meats and ripe cheeses. Landshut Sweet Red (Germany) – Aromas of spiced cherries and strawberry compote with a fruity, sweet medium body and a light tangy watermelon finish. Pairs especially well with rich desserts.

Over the past thirtyfive years in the dental field, one of the most significant changes I’ve seen is the appearance of people’s Dr. Michael Tessier back teeth. We usually talk about front teeth when talking about cosmetic dentistry, but the appearance of the back teeth is also significant. I remember when I started in dentistry looking at mouths full of black fillings. I seldom see that anymore today, particularly in Southern Orange County where my practice is located. As an example, several years ago, there was a trailer for a Goldie Hawn movie in which this lovely actress threw her head back and laughed loudly, displaying a mouthful of silver/mercury amalgam fillings, which had turned black. Hardly consistent with the rest of her Hollywood visage. When silver fillings get old, they corrode- effectively rust- and it’s this silver oxide that turns black. And, that blackening is so pervasive that it often turns the whole tooth very dark. Last week the checker at

the supermarket had mostly clean, white teeth, except for the two lower left molars with very large mercury/ silver amalgam fillings. They’d probably been in her mouth for twenty years, and while they could have been clinically sound, she probably did not realize how they affected her appearance. By removing and replacing that black filling with a tooth-colored plastic restoration, or a toothcolored porcelain filling (lasts longer than plastic), or, in the case where removing the filling would leave the remaining tooth structure too weakened, a tooth-colored crown (or cap), the tooth could be returned to its normal, unremarkable appearance. Given the law of unintended consequences and the first rule of medicine-“Do no harm”-we avoid doing dental work that isn’t absolutely necessary. But a procedure like that is relatively non-invasive, and the effect is both dramatic and beautiful. Worth thinking about. If you have any questions about any things dental, please call my office (949-459-7212) to make a complimentary consultation appointment. The office address is 28562 Oso Pkwy at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways in Rancho Santa Margarita.

Realistic New Years Resolutions By Margo Prior So we are almost at that time of the year again; New Years Day. As a time honored tradition, thousands of people come up with hundreds of thousands of resolutions that they hope to stick to over the coming year. But what is a realistic type of resolution and how can we make sure we stick to them. Here are some ideas of what can be considered realistic and unrealistic New Years Resolutions and why. First resolution: I want to lose (an enormous amount) of weight this year. From enormous amount I mean anywhere from expecting more than two pounds of weight-loss a week to expecting to lose a large amount in a very ‘short’ period of time. Hundreds if not thousands of people flock to the gyms and buy some home gym equipment, exercise videos and new walking shoes, to only be totally frustrated when by the end of the first week or two, give or take a week, there is little if any progress to be seen on the scale. Well first of all, if you really and truly are interested in losing weight you must be doing it for the right reasons and not just because it is a new years resolution or because someone else is doing it or even to impress someone else. You must be doing it for yourself! You must be trying to lose weight because this is what is going to make you happy; the thought of a healthier, slimmer and trimmer you. Not the thoughts of what someone else might think or just to impress someone at a holiday party (or cause everyone else is saying it). If you are really serious about your weight-loss, then know that it took a good while to get that little bit of chubby on your body, so it will take a while to take it back off and it will take some work. You WILL have to exercise and you WILL have to curb your eating habits or change them slightly if you are normally eating on the ‘wrong types’ of food, like junk food and switch over to healthier foods; more vegetables, frozen or fresh is fine and LEANER meats. YES, exercise is a must. I don’t emphasize aerobics as much I do weight lifting. I am a believer in that weight lifting does a body so much more good, even though, aerobics does too, but weight lifting, even in small doses and working up to longer workouts can help you see your body shape up faster and show results quicker and more strikingly than just aerobics alone. Second resolution: I am not going to quit smoking cold turkey. No more smoking for me, period! Ha! Now that is one for the books. Not only is that unrealistic for some people it is also physically impossible!! The nicotine monster in some who smoke can cause any number of emotions to fly, especially anger. Have you seen that commercial that shows the little angry nicotine addicted sensors Page 22
in the body? Oh wow that is hilarious BUT it is also true! Unless you have the ultimate of willpower OR you have not been smoking for very long, then the fight to quit smoking may be a long and hard one. Realistically you should be looking at weaning yourself off of cigarettes. If you smoke a pack a day, cut yourself down say five cigarettes a day for a week or a month; what ever it takes for your body to adjust to that loss. Compensate yourself with something in return for doing such a good job. Make yourself a change jar or allow yourself to have one indulgence more than you normally would (especially if you are trying to lose weight at the same time, which I do NOT recommend!). Make a goal for a reasonable time to quit. Based on a one pack a day habit, I would not make it any sooner than comfortable but a time from of from four weeks (for a short time period habit) to four months or more (for a habit that has been maintained for much longer) and adjusted by the number of packs per day smoked, should be a ‘reasonable’ amount of time to allow your body to adjust to the ‘lack of’ nicotine. Any sooner could wind you up in a relapse and since no one likes to say they failed or fell back off the wagon, take it easy on yourself and take your resolution in baby steps and in steps comfortable to you! Don’t let anyone rush you or say it should happen sooner or faster. Only YOU will know how quickly your body and mind will allow you to let that habit go. Third resolution: Procrastination and relaxing/stressing over life or anything in general. Well, procrastination is a seriously hard habit to break. You can tell yourself that you will not put off anything any more. That you will live in the moment, do everything when it is time to do it or before, taking life by its horns and going for the blue ribbon. BUT, in all honesty, we all tend to ‘slide’ back into our normal habits, those of which we feel comfortable and if procrastinating, waiting till the last minute is the way we have ALWAYS handled what ever we had to do, then that habit, will be severely hard to break. There is good news though! It can be broken with time and some thought out efforts and daily reminders to our self on how we went to do things. For example: If you always wait till the last minute to write a paper for class and you would love to have the stress off of you of last minute-itis , then plan ahead to break that cycle. Know when your due date is, get your information early on in your project, whether it is reading a book or articles or something online then get your references ready to start writing. Okay, you have already done a lot right there to get prepared to write you paper and it is still early for you, plenty of time to get it done without waiting till the last
The Coto de Caza News
minute. When you still have a week or two to go before needing to have your paper turned in start writing your paper do a rough first draft the first day, then do another draft the next day or the final paper. IF it is necessary, do your last and final draft of your paper and in three days time in your last week (or sooner if you feel you can do it) with time left to spare, you are done with something you would have normally stayed up all night writing because you had procrastinated in getting done. This type of steps can be used for anything you procrastinate on from writing papers to writing articles to doing household chores. Each item you procrastinate on, shorten the time up some each time you do it by allowing your self to not be completely weaned instantly BUT allowing yourself some weakness. Knowing each and every time you are getting stronger and handling everyday life giving yourself the ability to handle more and more in life just because you now have the willpower, the strength and determination and the ability to balance life’s pressures more easily. Very similarly you can deal with or handle stress and your relaxation periods easier. You must allow yourself to know that you cannot do everything in life and in life there will always be surprises. That you can definitely count on. So why allow yourself to stress over the little stuff? Life is too short. Put a rubber band on your wrist and snap it every time you try to fall back into stressing over something in which you have no control. Or write yourself some small notes to tell yourself that you are only one person and you do a great job for who you are and what you do. Tell yourself those affirmations each and every day upon waking up: I am a great person; I am but only one person and what I do, I do good; Life is what it is and life is good; I love life and love being surrounded by those whom I love and cherish. Those are only a few affirmations that you can write down to repeat to yourself to help keep yourself from winding up into a tizzy anytime life comes at you with what might seem like a hundred pound mallet. Lastly: Having a list of New Years Resolutions that you want to accomplish and trying to do them all at once. For example: You want to lose weight and you want to quit smoking and you want to become an accomplished writer, possibly published, you want to be a better/ more attentive mother, father, husband, wife, sister or brother, you want to start investing in a 401k and start a Christmas
account, you want to try to quit cussing, fighting, fussing, gossiping, whatever it might be; you want to quit it all, starting TODAY! Realistically that is so not going to happen all at once. Give yourself a break. Write down everything you want to do over the next YEAR. Once you have them written down, number them in their importance on how soon you want to get them done and how important it is for you to complete them. The ones near the bottom of your list, you would like but if you don’t get to them, you won’t be crushed. The resolutions at the top of your list you will put your full attention to and complete them to the best of your ability, ONE at a time! Know how long each of them are going to take, individually and then figure out if you CAN do more than one at a time. If so, great!! But if not, take them one step at a time, getting as many of your resolutions done at or near the top of your list and the rest can be put on next years list. Maybe by then, they can be put on the top of your list of how important they are to get done and they will get done quicker than something else that may seem more trivial than those resolutions. Enjoy life. Have fun and live. Don’t put yourself through such stresses as thinking that if you do not complete these resolutions, again, that you area failure. You are NOT! They are just not as important to you as other things are in life and you should pride yourself in whatever it is that you have found to be more important and more importantly than that, pride yourself in the dedication you have in your life to do what you do well. Resolutions are just words written on paper, no on something set in stone and the world will NOT fall apart if you do not complete them. Life is about having fun, having a good life, spending time with our families and making some money while in the process of it all. Don’t sweat the small stuff and resolutions are just that. Some small fun stuff in life we give ourselves to drive ourselves crazy. Have fun with it and you will find your resolutions may not only happen they may happen sooner and with a better vigor than if you stressed yourself over getting them done!

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.
Stay Motivated All Year with These Easy Fitness Tips In 2014, millions of people will make a vow to lose weight or start a fitness plan, but many will lose the motivation it takes to sustain a fit and active lifestyle within just a few weeks. With the right tools and support though, finding motivation to stay fit can be a snap. Father, New York Times Best-Selling Author, and “Extra” TV host Mario Lopez finds his motivation to stay fit using the techniques of his personal trainer, Jimmy Peña. Now, Peña wants to help people keep their fitness vows using the same techniques by offering these simple tips to maintain motivation all year long: Start Small – If you haven’t been active in a long time, don’t stress your muscles by doing too much too fast. Start slowly by taking the stairs or squeezing in a 20-minute jog on your lunch break. Build Up Endurance – Track your progress and continue to build upon your exercise activities – whether you’re running or jogging a route, walking a path, biking, swimming or weight training – to push yourself a little farther each week. Grab a Partner – “You can improve exercise performance by having a partner who pushes you to your limits. But if you prefer to workout solo, the built-in audio trainer in the new MOTOACTV from Motorola can provide motivation. It’s like having a personal trainer right in your ear,” says Peña. The new device tracks fitness stats including time, distance, heart rate and even calories burned. Then, upload your workout to www.motoactv.com to analyze the performance data tracked by the
device – and challenge your friends to beat your latest stats. “A little competition can be a big motivator,” explains Peña. Mix it Up – It’s important to make a fitness schedule and stick to it, but that doesn’t mean doing the same routine over and over. To stay motivated, try changing your workout. From walking to running to cycling, you can always find a new activity to challenge yourself – and you can bring MOTOACTV with you. Sweatproof and rain-resistant, this device also features a scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass display. You can wear it on your wrist, clip it to your shirt, or purchase a mount to attach it to your bike during an outdoor ride, making it easy to change up your activities to keep you interested (sold separately). Turn Up the Volume – “Music is key for most of my clients. When they’re running out of steam, the right song can help put them on track to meet their fitness goals,” says Peña. Creating playlists of different music that keeps you motivated for different types of activities can really help keep you going. Remember to refresh playlists, as you can quickly tire of the same music. “MOTOACTV is a personal trainer and a DJ In addition, users can stay tangle-free, since the all at the same time,” says Lopez. “It tracks all device allows you to enjoy a completely wireless the data I need – from pace, heart rate, distance, miles logged, and it plays all my favorite music. It workout via stereo Bluetooth enabled headphones, even knows the music I perform to best, which I sold separately. have never seen before.” The Coto de Caza News

Five simple ways to find deeper meaning in everyday life Turbulent, fast-paced, chaotic - the modern world is increasingly hectic. From this oft-crazy environment, a new movement is emerging where people are pausing to find deeper meaning in everyday life. Selfempowerment and true emotional connections can counterbalance daily stress and uncertainty, providing happiness and a genuine sense of worth. If you find the days seem to slip away and life’s hurried pace to be draining, it’s time to find some simple ways to add meaning to your life. Here are five ideas for nurturing a deeper connection with yourself and others: 1. Reconnect with your passion Did you enjoy painting when you were younger? Have you always wanted to take a photography class? Do you love to travel? It’s important to recognize and nurture those activities you love most so that you’re able to go out and do what you’re great at in the world. New York-based yoga instructor, Tara Stiles has infused her passion and energy into her work as a yoga, meditation and wellness instructor. “Passion is really about going after what you want to achieve in your life,” says Stiles. Whether it’s cooking, writing or gardening, make time for what you enjoy doing, rather
than just doing what you have to. Even one hour a week dedicated to your passion will make you feel more centered and grounded. 2. Express your individuality Individual beliefs and values make us each unique, and you can express those ideals through your fashion and jewelry choices. For example, the new Pandora Essence Collection is more than just a beautiful bracelet. You can select from 24 hand finished charms, each representing inner-values like faith, love, courage, confidence and wisdom. Each charm slides effortlessly into position on a slender silver bracelet, thanks to three silicone grip stoppers inside each charm. Whether for yourself or a gift for a loved one, the bracelet is the perfect reminder of what’s really important in life. 3. Give back Volunteering in your community is a great way to connect with others and find deeper meaning in the everyday. Leila Janah, a social entrepreneur based in San Francisco, traveled to West Africa at the age of 17, and volunteered in a school for blind children. The experience led her to found Samasource, a nonprofit organization that helps individuals living in poverty. Janah recalls that “[Volunteering in West
Africa] was a time of incredible personal growth and it set me on the path to do what I do.” Whether you choose to help stock a local food shelf, supervise at your children’s school or travel abroad to help build houses for the poor, volunteering is sure to make you feel more connected with the world around you. 4. Find “me time” Modern life can be very busy with every hour in every day dedicated to some activity. This can take its toll on your body, so it’s important to remember to take care of yourself, even if you’re taking care of others. Find your own way to relax and rejuvenate. This may be spending a few minutes each day balancing the mind and body through stretching and meditation. It might be taking a quiet walk, reading a book or having a cup of tea while journaling. Whatever you prefer, make sure to take “me time” throughout the day. 5. Be an ambassador for your beliefs What truly ignites your soul? It may be your passion for green living,
healthy eating or your faith. Whatever your beliefs, it’s important to show the world who you are and what you believe in. Penelope Jagessar Chaffer, an award-winning filmmaker, shares her beliefs and connects with others through her work. “I’m always trying to find that common thread between myself and someone else when I’m interviewing them,” Chaffer says. “I find that love, and talking about love, is this thing we can use to help connect us.” Talk about your beliefs and values with others; you might be surprised by what you find. Rather than getting swept away in a hectic schedule, try focusing on what truly matters to you. These simple ways to add meaning to your life will help you reconnect with yourself and with those around you.

Five savings resolutions for the new year Is saving on your New Year’s resolution list this year? The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Ready. Save.Grow. campaign offers five saving strategies that will have you moving toward your long-term savings goals and toasting along the way. “A new calendar year invigorates people to start with a clean slate, so it’s a great time to begin building or refreshing your savings goals,” says Jerry Kelly, national director of the Treasury Department’s Ready.Save. Grow. campaign. “Since saving for the future can be challenging, we’ve developed a resolution check list to help people celebrate small savings victories one at a time.” Resolve to accomplish these five savings goals in 2014:
*Grow your tax refund - Rather than spend your refund, put the lump sum to work this tax season. Use IRS Form 8888 to direct all or a portion of your tax refund into your TreasuryDirect account. If you don’t have an account, you can open one at www.treasurydirect.gov. Tax season is also the only time taxpayers are able to buy paper Series I Savings Bonds, in amounts ranging from $50 to $5,000, using tax refund dollars. * Plan for the future with digital savings bonds - Savings bonds are an affordable, safe and convenient way for people to accumulate money for the future. A savings bond can be bought for just $25 and can earn interest for up to 30 years. Savings bonds may be used to achieve long-term goals such as retirement, college or a new home. If you need your money sooner, a savings bond can be cashed any time after 12 months. * Set up payroll direct deposit - You don’t need a lot of money to start saving and there are simple ways to accumulate
funds. By using direct deposit to contribute to a TreasuryDirect account every payday, you’ll build your savings over time. The amount you set is automatically deposited into your account, so you won’t be tempted to spend it. * Diversify with marketable securities - The Treasury Department offers an array of marketable securities with terms ranging from 4 weeks to 30 years. These securities can be bought for as little as $100 and held in TreasuryDirect until their term ends. Along the way you earn interest. For shorter term (one year or less) marketable securities, interest is paid at the end of the term. For longer term (more than one year) securities, interest is paid every six months. If you need your money before a security reaches its term, you can transfer it to a broker to sell. Marketable securities offer long-term savers the opportunity to diversify their savings and take control of their future. * Start your child on the path to savings - The earlier the better when it comes to saving. The Treasury Department has resources to help families start saving for their children’s future. Parents can set up a special
account for their children within their own TreasuryDirect account so that savings bonds can be bought as gifts for their children. Bonds are held in this account until the child turns 18. In addition, the Treasury Department has a child-friendly website, TreasuryDirect KIDS (www. treasurydirect.gov/kids/kids.htm), with games, quizzes and videos that teach students from fifth to seventh grade in a fun and engaging way about the history and role of debt in America, and the basics of how Treasury securities work. Ready.Save.Grow. helps people take control of their future by providing information and resources about the safe, affordable and convenient savings options offered by the Treasury Department. Visit the website (www.treasurydirect. gov/readysavegrow), to learn more. You can also find Ready.Save. Grow. on Facebook and Twitter@ ReadySaveGrow.

How to get the most out of your new tablet in the new year Tablets are clearly today’s hot tech device: shipments will reach 184 million units in 2013 alone, estimates Gartner, an information technology research company. If you don’t already own a tablet, it’s very possible you might receive an iPad, Kindle or Nexus as a holiday gift. Knowing a few tricks to get the most out of your new mobile device will ensure it helps streamline your life both at work and at home. Software concerns and solutions: The kingpin of tablets is, of course, the iPad. Most people use their tablets alongside their existing technology so they complement each other and help make life simpler at home and on the go. If you have a Windows

PC or a Mac at home, you might be concerned about if you can run programs you have on your home computer - like Word, Excel and PowerPoint - on your new tablet. Unfortunately, these and many other full-featured applications are not yet available on tablets. Remote access and functionality: Great news for iPad users is that today with Parallels Access for iPad (www.parallels.com/access) you can remotely access everything on your Mac or PC - including all of your full-featured applications such as Excel - and use native iPad gestures including tap, swipe, pinch and zoom, just like they were made for your iPad. You can even use Internet Explorer on your computer to watch Flash

videos with sound via your iPad. No more waiting for the applications you already invested in to be available on the iPad - real mobile productivity is finally here. Now you can start leaving your computer at home or work and use your iPad to get more done on the go. Did your daughter leave her homework on your home PC? Simply access your home computer from work with your iPad and email it to her teacher before today’s deadline. Did your boss request a few lastminute changes to your PowerPoint presentation but you are out of the office and unable to get back before his deadline? Relax. Use your iPad to tap into your work computer to quickly make and send the changes before his important meeting. From executives to soccer moms, Parallels Access enhances your iPad’s functionality so you can do what you need to easily and efficiently. Download a free trial of Parallels Access onto your iPad at the iTunes App Store. Battery life: Another main concern for tablet users is battery life. You may be surprised just how often you use your iPad for work and play, which means you’ll be using up your battery quickly.
It’s important to learn how to conserve battery life so you’re not tethered to an outlet constantly. Make it a habit to check the system’s task manager and close unused apps - simply double click the iPad home button and you’ll see the task bar displaying all open applications. Remember, even if you aren’t interacting with apps, if they remain open after you close them, they still suck energy. Quitting unused apps running in the background is a simple way to extend your iPad’s battery life. Another way to conserve energy and boost battery life is to adjust the screen light intensity. It takes energy to light that beautiful iPad screen, so it’s wise to adjust settings to as low as is comfortable without straining your eyes. Reducing your iPad from full-bright levels will help so you don’t get a battery warning sooner than you’d like - simple click on the settings icon on the screen and adjust appropriately. As more of the world goes mobile, tablets are here to stay. Use these tips to get the most out of your new iPad and enjoy the features and programs you love from all your technology devices.

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 buying, tasting and testing wine’s since before I was born. We even had a full wine cellar, although it was raw (dug out from the basement with a metal rack put inside,) in our house growing up. Suggestions from my father: Sweet wine and Champagne, according to my father, go with cheeses, red meat and saltier fair. Dry wine and Champagne are better paired with desserts, fruits and sweeter dishes like a chicken dish with a sweet sauce. Buying Champagne When my husband and I went on our honeymoon in Nantucket years ago, we decided to over-splurge one night on dinner. We’d heard a particular restaurant was worth it, and it was, so we even splurged on the Champagne we ordered to toast
ourselves. Each glass, however, was $25. We picked out what was considered an expensive Champagne, and it was certainly delicious, however, that price is steep. You can get a great Champagne at $25 for the entire bottle. You just have to know how to pick it. There are many brands, Korbel, Taittinger, Veuve (with that familiar yellow label), Dom Perignon, Freixenet and many more that we have seen at liquor stores or heard about from commercials or magazine ads. If you are having guests who know nothing about wine or Champagne and are only going to have a sip at midnight, then it’s okay to go with a Spumante (which you can get for $6) or Freixenet. If you care about the taste however, do some research. Dom Perignon is high end, and yes, delicious no matter what type you pick, but a bottle can run you $100 and up. If you have that sort of cash and want to spend it, great, you are very fortunate. Taittinger has been rated in wine magazines and they have bottles, both dry and sweet, that start at $23. A nice pick for a dinner party or New Years Eve. Veuve is very popular, however they also have great prices (like Taittinger) and many fantastic tastes to choose from. This brand is a great option for a large party on New Years Eve.

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. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: MICHAEL A. GREEN, SB#277626 lAW OFFICE OF MICHAEL A.

To: Interested Parties Subject: NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE PROPOSED PLANO LIFT STATION FORCE MAIN RELOCATION PROJECT The Santa Margarita Water District (District) is proposing the construction of a bridge that would carry the replacement Plano Force Main, which would bypass the current force main within the bed and banks of Tijeras Creek. As the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the District has prepared an Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) which evaluates the potential environmental effects of the proposed project. Project Location: The proposed project is located in Tijeras Creek between the Plano Lift Station, located at 24152 Antonio Parkway, and Canada Vista Park, approximately 500 feet upstream of the Antonio Parkway Bridge. Project Description: The District is proposing to bypass the current Plano Force Main that runs under Tijeras Creek onto a new bridge that would cross the creek and connect the Linda Vista Trail with the Tijeras Creek Trail. The bridge would be built within the District’s permanent sewer easement. The new force main would begin at the Plano Lift Station and tie back into the existing force main on the other side of Tijeras Creek. Also proposed as part of the project is a new lift station and small-diameter force main. The new lift station would be placed in Canada Vista Park and the small-diameter force main would run along the proposed bridge. The proposed bridge would be a three-span steel truss bridge that would extend approximately 290-feet east from the Plano Lift Station towards Canada Vista Park and is envisioned to have pedestrian/bicycle access when full funding is available. The proposed project is a consequence of the March 2010 failure of the Forcemain, which violated SDRWQCB Order No. R92007-0005 and resulted in Tentative Order R9-2011-0057. The goal of the proposed project is to bypass the Plano Force Main from beneath Tijeras Creek and meet the SDRWQCB’s deadline for revised operation by October 2014. Public Review Period: The IS/MND is being made available for public review for a period of 30 days beginning [December 20, 2013] and concluding [January 18, 2014]. The electronic version of the IS/MND may be viewed at the following website address: www.smwd.com/mnd Printed copies of the IS/MND are also available for review at the Santa Margarita Water District Headquarters located at 26111 Antonio Parkway Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688. Comments on the IS/MND must be received in writing no later than 5:00 p.m., January 18, 2014 and sent to: Jaime Aguilar, Senior Project Engineer Santa Margarita Water District P.O. Box 7005 Mission Viejo, CA 92690-7005; or delivered in person, to: 26111 Antonio Parkway Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688 All comments received related to issues in the IS/MND will be included in the final package that is forwarded to the District Board of Directors for final consideration. 12/27/13
