Time- saving kitchen hacks for the holidays No matter how big or small the group, gathering with loved ones over a delicious meal is a holiday season essential. However, if you’ve offered to host the event, panic is likely to set in as you realize the amount of work it’s going to take to cook a memorable meal for friends and family. Fortunately, with some tips and tricks, cooking a feast doesn’t have to be stressful. Just use these timesaving kitchen hacks and you can enjoy more time savoring the season with your guests and less time in the kitchen. Prep side dishes early: Prepare as much as you can in advance. In the week leading up to the event, chop, boil and blend whatever you can to save countless hours in the kitchen. You’ll cut down on stress and have enough time to visit with guests as they begin to arrive. Use multitasking methods: What if you could make a quick dinner in one simple step? With meals that taste like homemade and use high-quality ingredients, Marie Callender’s(R) allows you to serve signature holiday meals without the extra work. The Vermont White Cheddar Mac & Cheese will have guests thinking you slaved away in the kitchen, but all you Page 2
had to do is open and close the oven. Buy cooking mesh: From blanching to boiling, you can quickly run out of stove-top space when cooking a holiday meal. To save time and space, use cooking mesh so you can boil several foods at once in the same pot of water while keeping items conveniently separated. Fluffy mashed potatoes: Whipping up a big batch of mashed potatoes? To avoid dense spuds and save time endlessly mashing, use a pinch of baking powder when whipping. The baking powder reacts with the heat from the potatoes to create tiny air pockets and, ultimately, fluffy mashed potatoes. Utilize the slow cooker: Slow cookers are one of the most useful tools when hosting a holiday meal. You can cook early and keep virtually anything warm, including gravy, mashed potatoes or drinks like hot chocolate and cider. Need more slow cookers than you own? Borrow from friends or hunt down some at a bargain price at second-hand stores. Grate frozen butter: Baking a special dessert for the holidays? Rather than waiting for frozen butter to thaw or risk melting it in the microwave, use a cheese grater

instead. Hard butter thaws quickly when shredded. Keep drinks outdoors: Fridge space goes fast when hosting a holiday soiree, so instead of worrying about where you’re going to fit cans and bottles, put them outside instead. The winter chill will keep them cool and you won’t have to give up precious fridge space. Just hang a sign so guests are directed to the right location to quench their thirst. Clean as you go: Rather than cooking everything at once only to end up with an unbearable amount
of dishes, try cleaning as you go. By multitasking you’ll end up with less mess at the end when all you want to do is sit down with a slice of pie and visit with loved ones. Embrace simplicity: Following a big day of entertaining, give yourself a break by re-purposing leftovers and weaving in quality, already-prepared meals from your freezer. Marie Callender’s Turkey Pot Pie makes a perfect next-day meal or midday snack with its premium turkey breast, assortment of vegetables and flaky, made-from-scratch crust. -(BPT)

Del Mar Reopens Third Year of Second Season
By Ilene Schneider photography William Casper What could be better than summer fun at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club? How about a second season with cooler weather, less traffic, robust increases in Del Mar’s on-track and overall handle and a massive $1-million Pick Six winner? Del Mar’s “second season” – called the “Bing Crosby Season” after the seaside track’s iconic founder – began last Friday, November 11, for a 15-day run that will end Sunday, December 4. The track opened with a special Veterans’ Day Salute to past and present veterans. The opening event included sky divers, the unfurling of the huge Holiday Bowl flag, a Pinups for Patriots fashion contest, a country concert and food from Cali Comfort Bar-B-Q. The Opening Day Stars & Stripes Fashion Contest drew more than 100 contestants who participated in categories including Most Patriotic and Best Pin-Up or Celebrity Look. Pin-Up contestants wore a variety of glamorous looks from bygone days. The Bing Crosby Grand Prize winner was Wendy Venable of Boulevard, CA, who competed in the Most Patriotic category, and was awarded a one-night stay at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar and dinner for two at Addison Restaurant. Special events continued on the opening Saturday, November 12, with a post-race concert featuring star Ben Harper with his group The Innocent Criminals. On Sunday, November 13, the first of four “Free & Fun Sundays” offered free admission, free seats, free programs and discounted drinks. The track’s three-day attendance tally was up by 6.9 percent, increasing from 22,170 to 23,709. The daily average rose from 7,390 to 7,903. After the three-day opening, Del Mar will have four-day weeks – Thursday through Sunday – until the end of the season. First post daily will be at 12:30 p.m. on all days with the exception of Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 24) when racing begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 2:30 p.m. in time for fans to make it home for a turkey dinner. Highlighting the 15 days of thoroughbred sport are 14 stakes races, starting with Opening Day’s Kathryn Crosby Stakes for fillies and mares; a pair of Grade I features – the Hollywood Derby (Saturday, December 3) and the Matriarch Stakes (Sunday, December 4); and Page 4
eight other graded races. Other extras are a reggae fest led by Iration (Saturday, November 19), College Day at the Races (Saturday, November 19), a craft beer and cider festival along with a food truck roundup (Saturday, November 26) and a deluxe fleece blanket free giveaway (Saturday, December 3), a “Taste of the Turf Club” feed every Sunday, “Daybreak at Del Mar” breakfasts Saturday mornings (8 to 10 am), free Thursday admissions for all seniors and a family fun run and a puppy adoption event on Thanksgiving morning in partnership with the Helen Woodward Animal Center. According to Del Mar Thoroughbred Club’s president and general manager, Joe Harper, “The fall racing season at Del Mar has taken up its own special spot now on the Southern California racing calendar. It’s a low-key happening for real racing fans, and it is growing warmer and friendlier as we go along. Del Mar in the summer is great; Del Mar in the fall just feels good all over.” Del Mar Thoroughbred Club opened in 1937 with owner Bing Crosby there to greet the first fan. Its spectacular views, balmy climate and warm ambiance have made it a destination for celebrities, horse aficionados and others seeking elegant entertainment. Located in Del Mar, California, on the 340-acre Del Mar Fairgrounds 20 miles north of San Diego, Del Mar is easily accessible from anywhere in southern California. It is home to horse racing, concerts, beauty pageants, fine dining and more. Del Mar Thoroughbred Club is located at 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar, CA 92014.

Talking turkey: It’s platter season What’s your idea of the perfect Thanksgiving meal? A big family buffet, or perhaps an intimate evening with a few close friends? Thanksgiving brings us together from near and far for all sorts of fun-filled traditions that are uniquely our own. And while those traditions may vary somewhat as families grow and our lives change over time, there’s one constant at the heart of Thanksgiving entertaining the beloved turkey platter. “Turkey platters really are the Christmas tree of Thanksgiving,” says Keith Winkler, product marketing manager at dinnerware giant Replacements, Ltd. “When you talk about Thanksgiving, I think most Americans picture that iconic Norman Rockwell painting with the mother serving the perfect turkey on a huge platter. Even though that image has been reinterpreted in so many ways as times have changed, the platter has always remained the centerpiece of the gathering, even for those who by-pass the bird to serve another main course for their Thanksgiving meal.” Winkler notes there’s also a strong sentimental attachment to this seasonal favorite. Turkey platters often become heirloom pieces, handed down in many families, making the platter even more special. Turkey dinnerware history 101 The history behind Turkey patterns and ultimately the iconic platter is literally as old as the holiday itself. When Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving official back in 1863, English potters seized the opportunity to target the growing American market by producing turkey-themed dinner plates and platters. These ingenious designers generally took
an existing design and replaced the center with a turkey motif to create those first Thanksgiving patterns. Manufacturers such as Spode, Mason’s and Wood & Sons used their colorful transferware patterns to start a new holiday tradition, which became an instant hit. In fact, Replacements’ most popular Thanksgiving pattern, His Majesty by Johnson Brothers, started as an accent plate in the company’s Friendly Village pattern. The English manufacturer received so much demand for this particular motif that the company turned the proud Tom Turkey-adorned plate into its own pattern. The great platter hunt Designers say you don’t have to buy entire set of turkey-themed dinnerware to find the perfect platter. Replacements’ Julie Robbins notes you can find platters that blend well with any pattern, from the very old to the very new. “Turkey platters aren’t necessarily bird-themed; you’ll find them in designs ranging from florals to even scenic vistas,” Robbins says. “Think who is going to be at your table, what you’re serving and find a platter that speaks to you. If you’re serving turkey, it doesn’t matter whether you’re carving your bird in the kitchen or on the table, just make sure it’s large enough to accommodate your guests. So many people make the mistake of trying to put a large turkey on a 12-inch platter and quite frankly, that is just too small and it’s not going to work. This is a special piece, not an everyday platter.” Robbins adds she’s seen people do wonderful things with a small turkey, such as placing vegetables
around the bird to fill out the larger platter and complete the look. Turkey platters aren’t only fun, many are also functional. Lenox and several other manufacturers produce turkeyshaped platters and other autumn themed serving pieces in alternative metal serveware. This is a special alloy that when heated or chilled maintains temperature to keep foods warm or cold. Gobble up this season’s table top trends Many dinnerware companies are producing Thanksgiving or turkeythemed accent plates and platters to mix and match with everyday dinnerware in colors and motifs to fit all tastes and lifestyles, from the very traditional to a more modern aesthetic. And if Tom Turkey isn’t the right design element for your table, Robbins says you can still create a seasonal feel, minus the bird. “You can use fall leaf or even woodland patterns to create a classic Thanksgiving table without going with a turkey motif. Even beautiful classic fruit patterns give your table that cornucopia or horn of plenty flair.” Not sure where to start? Find a list of Replacements’ most popular fall and Thanksgiving patterns on the company’s website, replacements. com. - (BPT)

ANNUAL HOLIDAY FAVORITE , “NUTCRACKER FOR KIDS” It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Pacific Symphony and dancers from Festival Ballet Theatre (FBT) soon fill the stage with the beauty and wonder of the holiday season for “Nutcracker for Kids,” a condensed version of one of Tchaikovsky’s most famous ballets. Mesmerizing audiences year after year with the sweet melodies, captivating dancers and brilliant imagination of this treasured tale, the Symphony’s annual event is always an audience favorite. The orchestra, led by Assistant Conductor Roger Kalia, along with lovely young dancers and Mrs. Claus as narrator (played by Bree Burgess Rosen), bring the beloved story of Clara and her brave prince to life! Tchaikovsky’s melodies soar throughout the epic battle with the Mouse King, the Land of Sweets, Waltz of the Flowers and the captivating Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. To spread even more holiday cheer, this Family Musical Mornings concert, includes a holiday sing-along and an appearance by the jolly old redsuited fellow himself, Santa Claus! This 45-minute concert is especially suited for children ages 5-11, but enjoyed by parents, grandparents and everyone else. It takes place Saturday, Dec. 3 at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets are $45-$70; for more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. “‘The Nutcracker’ has been a holiday favorite for as long as I can remember, and there are a number of reasons for that,” says Maestro Kalia. “Not only is it one of the greatest musical masterpieces ever written, but also the visual aspect of watching the dancers on stage with the orchestra is a wonderful sight. Typically, the orchestra is in a pit, but for this production the wonderful Pacific Symphony will be center stage. And the stage will be decorated
to really capture the holiday spirit. We will also perform holiday favorites where we encourage the audience to sing along with us. Selections will include the ‘Dreidel Song,’ ‘Jingle Bells,’ and ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas.’” Even more merriment waits at the Musical Carnival, where carolers and the Northwood High School Tuba Ensembles join in the fun, beginning at 9 a.m. (for the 10 a.m. concert) and 12:15 p.m. (for the 11:30 a.m. concert). Children and families are invited to participate in a special holiday craft, meet ballerinas from FBT and browse the ballet museum. Percussion instruments are in the “spotlight,” and children and family members have the chance to mingle and ask questions of some of the Symphony and Youth Ensembles musicians about their instruments. Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet was adapted from E.T.A. Hoffmann’s story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” and over time has come to be an annual holiday tradition throughout America. The timeless tale, written in 1816, centers around a young girl named Clara. Her Uncle and Godfather, a toymaker, arrives at her family’s Christmas Eve party and gives her a special doll, the Nutcracker, which makes all the other children jealous. As the story develops, Clara finds herself in an uncharted world where toy soldiers and their brave leader, the Nutcracker, battle the despicable Mouse King and his army of followers. This classic battle has children on the edge of their seats as Tchaikovsky’s memorable music, performed live, fills the air with wonder. Then, dancers twirl and glide across the stage to the renowned “Waltz of the Flowers” and the enchanting “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” A highlight of the performance takes place when the characters visit the Land of Sweets and are
spellbound by dances of Spain (Chocolate), Russia (Candy Canes), China (Tea), as well as the Dance of the Reed Flutes. There, Clara and the prince are greeted by the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy and are led into a romantic “pas de deux,” dance for two, to conclude the grand festivities. Spoiler alert! In the end, good trumps evil as the Nutcracker amazes Clara by transforming into a prince and saving her from the grasps of the Mouse King! Through the grace and elegance of dance, children are transported into a world of movement and art as they watch the skill and poise of professional ballet dancers. Under the direction of Salwa Rizkalla since its founding in 1988, FBT has become one of Southern California’s most vibrant and accomplished professional ballet companies. FBT is dedicated to presenting works that epitomize the artistry of professional-quality ballet, offering cultural awareness of dance through educational programs, and nurturing a creative environment for some of the county’s most talented dancers. FBT’s significant work has been recognized with a 2001 Arts Orange County Award for Outstanding Arts Organization of the Year.

A Full, Delightful Feast Round out your holiday meal with mouthwatering courses
While the turkey typically receives all the attention at holiday gatherings, rounding out your meal with the perfect snacks, sides and desserts is the key to a successful feast. Start your guests off with NYCStyle Pita Chips with Herbed Ricotta and Arugula to keep big appetites at bay then serve Slow Cooker Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows alongside the main course as the ideal complement to any meat. Finally, top off an evening of delicious food with Caramel Macchiato Ice Cream Pie to send everybody home happy. One Terrific Turkey Centering your holiday meal around a turkey cooked to golden perfection is the ideal way to serve a feast. Without the right preparation and execution, however, your bird could fall short. To ensure your holiday dinner centerpiece lives up to expectations, follow these simple tips, from purchase to plate: 1. Buy the right bird. Finding a turkey that’s just the right size for your expected party is the start to a successful gathering. One common rule of thumb is to buy 1 pound of turkey per person – so for a 10-person meal, purchase a 10-pound turkey. Don’t forget that nearly everyone loves leftovers, so you may consider buying a few pounds more than necessary. 2. Be patient. If you opt for a frozen turkey, don’t rush the thawing process. For larger turkeys, it can take days to defrost properly. 3. Timing is everything. Finding the right amount of time for your turkey to spend in the oven is crucial but not always the easiest thing to do. For an 8-12-pound bird, aim for 2.5-3.5 hours; 12-16 pounds for 3.5-4 hours; 16-20 pounds for 4-4.5 hours, and so on. The key is bringing the turkey to a temperature reading of 170 F. 4. Let it rest. Instead of pulling the turkey out of the oven and
immediately carving it, give it a chance to rest for 20-30 minutes, which allows the juices to soak into the meat and moisten it up. Simple, Chef-Worthy Holiday Snacks Award-winning chef Hugh Acheson created these gourmet, fuss-free NYC-Style Pita Chips with Herbed Ricotta and Arugula – featuring Stacy’s® Pita Chips. Perfect for any holiday gathering, and with three simple steps, this snack evokes the colors and flavors of the season in a matter of minutes. Visit stacyssnacks.com for more chef-worthy holiday recipes and pairings.
NYC-Style Pita Chips with Herbed Ricotta and Arugula Servings: 6 1/4 pound fresh ricotta cheese 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped 2 ounces baby arugula leaves 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 12 Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips Scoop ricotta into small bowl, add chopped thyme, mix well. On a platter, lay out 12 pita chips. Top each chip with small dollop of ricotta mix and leaf of baby arugula; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Take It Slow This holiday season, use your slow cooker to save time and oven space without sacrificing flavor. Try this recipe for Slow Cooker Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows and find more seasonal recipes at McCormick.com.
Slow Cooker Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 4 hours, 10 minutes Servings: 8 5 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes 1/2 cup Kitchen Basics Original Chicken Stock 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 4 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks 2 teaspoons McCormick Ground Cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Ground Nutmeg 2 cups miniature marshmallows Spray inside of 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Add sweet potatoes, stock and brown sugar. Cover. Cook 4 hours on high or until potatoes are tender, stirring after each hour. Stir in butter, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Cover. Let stand 5 minutes. Beat potatoes with electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Top with marshmallows. Cover. Cook 10 minutes on high or until marshmallows are slightly melted. Cool, Creamy Nightcap There’s only one way to properly end a holiday celebration: dessert. Send your guests home happy with one final course, a Caramel Macchiato Ice Cream Pie, to fill the remaining space in everyone’s bellies. Find more dessert ideas at nestleusa.com/nestle-kitchens.

2016 Tesoro High School Freshman Football T e a m U n d e f e at e d L e a g u e Ch a m p i o n s
Entire Team and Coaching Staff of Tesoro Titans Freshman Football By Elizabeth Bastian Photo by Cindy Williams 2016 was a sensational season for the freshmen football team at Tesoro High School. These young and promising Titans finished their season 10 – 0 making them the undefeated South Coast League Champions. Much of this success is attributed to Head Coach, Roger Takahashi, affectionately known as Coach T, and the rest of the dedicated freshmen staff comprised of Defensive Coordinator, Mike Alvino, Defensive Line Coach, Larry Fettis, Receivers Coach, JJ Hair, Cornerback Coach, Jacob Griffin, Running Backs Coach, Jon Rivera, Offensive Line Coach Pat Gleason and Defensive & Offensive Line Coach, Nick Zamites. The Titans opened the season playing other high schools from Orange and Riverside Counties before facing league opponents Mission Viejo, San Clemente, San Juan Hills and Trabuco Hills. At the close of the season, the Titans outscored their opponents 413 to 117. This team had many standout Page 10
players, but the level of success would not have been possible without the entire team. When asked to reflect upon the past few months, Coach T thoughtfully stated, “No doubt, this season will always stand out as something special in my coaching career.” It is certain that this season will always stand out to these young players as well. Tesoro High School is located in Las Flores, California. Established in the fall of 2001, Tesoro is 1 of 6 regular high schools in the Capistrano Unified School District. As of the 2014-2015 year, Tesoro serves nearly 2500 students in grades 9-12. Students attending Tesoro live within the cities of Rancho Santa Margarita, Las Flores, Ladera Ranch, Coto de Caza and Mission Viejo. Tesoro is a School. In 2013, Newsweek’s “America’s Top Public High Schools” feature ranked Tesoro as number 337 out of the 1,300 top high schools nationwide. This makes it, as of 2013, the highest ranked in the school district. In 2008, Tesoro was the second highest in the district, while in 2007 it was ranked

third. In 2015, Tesoro Performing Arts Department (orchestra, band, and choir) was one of the top competitions in winning a Grammy Now, they are known to be a Grammy Signatures School. In April 2016, Tesoro Orchestra and Tesoro Band went to New York City to perform in the world-famous Carnegie Hall. The Tesoro High School Varsity football team beat Western High School in 2004 to capture their first division title. In 2005, the Titans became Back-To-Back Division IX CIF Champions after beating Northwood High School for the second time that season. Tesoro was moved into the more competitive South Coast League for sports in the 2006 school year. Although the 2004 and 2005 football teams had beaten several teams from upper division schools, including Dana Hills , Foothill, Kennedy, and Laguna Hills, and the ‘04 and ‘05 teams were ranked among the top 10 high school football teams in Orange County, the team placed last in the league in 2006, after losing key players including Aaron Wilcox, Donald Miller, Josh
Williams, Sean Calcagnie, Todd Sciacqua, Jason Johnson, Trevor Lozon, Sam Smith, Garrett Beck and Josh Mitchell from the CIF Championship teams. However, in its second season in Division I the Titan football team captured the South Coast League Championship, going undefeated in league play in 2007, and defeating both Mission Viejo and San Clemente. Today, the Varsity football head coach is Matt Poston. At the end of the last game, Head Varsity Coach Matt Poston surprised the players with team t-shirts to celebrate this accomplishment and acknowledged the hard work and dedication of each of the players on the team. Coach Poston also individually recognized several players for outstanding play during the entire season and invited them to dress out for Varsity’s post season. These players are: Andrew Bois D’Enghien, Ethan Contreras, Malakai Edwards, Cooper Gallaway, Jackson Groves, Ethan Hurst, Caeden King, Sean Lindgren, Kyle Schaefers, Justin Schafer, Logan Sturm, Justin Williams and Zach Wran.

Santa Margarita Claims First Playoff Victory Since 2012
The Santa Margarita Football team looked dominant as the traveled to Serra of Gardena and left with a first round victory, 27-14, over the Cavaliers
Junior Malone Mataele carries the ball against the Cavaliers of Serra By: Sean Zeitler Photos by: Robert Russell Fresh off back-to-back Trinity League wins over Orange Lutheran and Servite, Santa Margarita rolled into the first round of the Division 1 playoffs with confidence and swagger, commanding the game and upsetting the host team, Serra, by a score of 27-14. Santa Margarita played sound offense and tenacious defense, managing 218 passing yards and 181 rushing yards. Offensively, running back Chad Magyar has steamrolled his way through the last three weeks of the season, rushing for a combined 486 yards and six touchdowns (96 vs. Orange Lutheran, 1 TD; 264 vs. Servite, 2 TD’s; and 126 vs. Serra, 3 TD’s). Mr. All-Purpose, Malone Mataele, is not only a lockdown corner, return specialist, but has made cameos at running back as well and has been effective. Against Orange Lutheran and Servite, Mataele had two touchdowns each and had one against Serra as well. Senior quarterback Richard Wagner was again efficient, completing 10 of 13 (77%) for 195 yards and one touchdown and one interception. Sophomore Munir McClain had two catches for 94 yards, including a long of 82. Magyar got in on the receiving game as well, catching four passes
for 61 yards. Middle linebacker Caden Fitch played like a man possessed, finishing his night with a career high 17 tackles, a performance that earned him OC Varsity Defensive Player of the Week honors. Senior Jadon DiGravio played arguably the best game of his career which came with 12 tackles and a huge fourth down pass break-up. Santa Margarita now move on to the second round of the Division 1 playoffs where they will play the Braves of St. John Bosco for the second time this season. In a tale of Junior running back Chad Magyar had three touchdowns against two halves, last time these two teams Serra in the first round of the playoffs faced each other, Santa Margarita trailed by a score of 13-3 at halftime, before falling to the Braves 47-10. Tonight’s game will be contested at Saddleback College with Santa Margarita being the designated home team. Kickoff for the game is set for 7:00pm and will be streaming live on the NFHS Network.

Discovery Cube’s Gala Raises Over $1.1 Million for Science Education More than 350 Orange County philanthropists, business and community leaders gathered on for Discovery Cube’s ‘Wild West at the Cube’ annual gala, which commemorated the Cube’s growth throughout the year and raised $1,151,425 for science education. The celebratory event, held on-site at Discovery Cube, kicked off with a cocktail reception featuring tray passed hors d’oeuvres, opportunity drawings, a trick roper greeting guests, as well as poker and a saloon girl dance trio in keeping with the Wild West theme. The dinner began with the live auction and fund-a-need, followed by the award presentations. At the event, Discovery Cube honored the Anaheim Ducks Hockey Club and Jay Witzling, former vice president and deputy program manager of Boeing’s Delta Rocket program, with prestigious Cube Awards for their outstanding contributions to the Discovery Science Foundation and Discovery Cube. The Anaheim Ducks Hockey Club, who received Discovery Cube’s 2016 Arnold O. Beckman Award, are among the biggest supporters for the Cube and played a huge part in the creation of the “Science of Hockey” exhibit. Their shared mission to promote science, address health and wellness and provide educational opportunities to children and families throughout Southern California has been a driving force behind their continued support of the Cube annually and programmatically. “We are thrilled to be honored by Discovery Cube and help celebrate all of their successes within the last year,” said Tim Ryan, Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer for the Anaheim Ducks. “On behalf of the Anaheim Ducks, we are proud to be a part of the impact they have made for children in Orange County through their programs, commitment to science education, and the Science of Hockey exhibit.” The Cube’s 2016 Spirit of Discovery Award was presented to Jay Witzling, former vice president and deputy program manager of Boeing’s Delta Rocket program, who has served as a tireless advocate for the expansion of Discovery Cube in Orange County. Witzling’s expertise, inside and outside of the Cube, was invaluable to the successful expansion. He is a firm believer in the importance of STEM education and became a volunteer and special advisor for Discovery Cube in 2004. Witzling has been instrumental in helping secure funding for the Cube’s Boeing Rocket Lab and Mission Control exhibits, facilitated the acquisition of a Delta III rocket, as well as a historic Delta RS-68 rocket engine booster from Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, which is now housed inside the iconic Cube. “This event was a great way to honor all the accomplishments of Discovery Cube over the past year and our supporters whose endless efforts made it all possible,” said Joe Adams, CEO of the Discovery Science Foundation and President of Discovery Cube in Orange County, “This year has been nothing short of amazing and we know that Discovery Cube will continue to inspire young minds through engaging and hands-on science education.” The night concluded with live entertainment from the Kelly Rea Band with folks dancing the night away. The Discovery Science Foundation serves as the educational programdevelopment and fundraising arm for hands-on science learning centers in Orange County, Los Angeles and Newport Beach, California. Established in 1989, the Discovery Cube, presented by Taco Bell, continues to inspire and educate millions of young minds through engaging science-based programs and exhibits. In 2012, the Cube was named one of the 10 “Most Trusted Brands” in Orange County and in 2013 was awarded the National Medal of service from the Institute of Museum and Library Services at The White House. In November 2014, a second nonprofit Discovery Cube offering an exhibit and program mix unique to Los Angeles, opened in the Hansen Dam Recreational Area of the San Fernando Valley. Most recently, Discovery Cube’s Ocean Quest opened in Newport Beach as a base of operations for ocean-science education and programs. For more information, visit discoverycube.org. Page 12

Judging from the number of decorating crews working in the local area neighborhoods, it appears that the holiday season is fast coming upon us. In times past, many homeowners would bring out their own ladders , go to the store and purchase their own lighting to hang on their homes. However, in recent times, many homeowners opt to hire a crew of professionals who are well-equipped to race up and down scaffolding and ladders to hang the decorating lights, arrange the electronics and timers to make the holidays much happier. these professionals make this task much simpler and exceptionally quicker. A two-story house shown in the photo above,was recently decorated with a complete array of lighting and installation and under one hour.another great selling point
from the decorating crews is that they come back after the holidays, pack the whole thing up and put it in the garage for you or take it away whichever is your pleasure. Nearly all of the local communities hold decorating contests and competitions to determine the best decorated homes in the area. Judging usually takes place between Thanksgiving and December 10 so if you are contemplating joining any of these contests,now would be the time to commence the decorating job at your house. This cheerful band is from the crew of holiday lighting including the Scotty Martin, Alex Bale, Connor Ziencing,Dave Collins, Mike Collins, Anthony Cann,Joshua Fawcett, and Donovan Decair

Smart ways to create calm as you rush from holiday to holiday Less than a month separates Halloween from Thanksgiving. And, this year, Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are all within a day of each other, and the two multi-day holidays both end on New Year’s Day. With end-of-year celebrations coming one after another, transitioning from holiday to holiday can ratchet up your stress level. If you really want to enjoy the holiday season to the fullest, it’s important to find ways to create calm in the chaos of party preparations, gift shopping, meal planning and other forms of busyness. Here are some tips to remain calm and in control as you move through the hectic pace of the holidays: Have a plan The holidays are busy and stressful enough without adding uncertainty and last-minute challenges into the mix. Plan ahead for holiday celebrations so that you know well in advance what you’ll need to make a memorable gathering. The further ahead you plan, the more time you’ll have for preparation, so go ahead and create your Thanksgiving menu while you’re sneaking treats from the kids’ Halloween stash. Start your Christmas shopping list at the same time. Establishing a budget can also help ensure you stay calm during the holidays. Overspending is one of the most stress-causing experiences of the season. Planning how much you’ll spend for gifts, decorations and entertainment can help remove the stress of watching the bills pile up. Relieve stress with renting The amount of clutter you need in your home always seems to increase with the holidays - from Halloween costumes and decorations, to dishes and silverware for meals. Trying to gather everything in time can be stressful, and figuring out where to store it all after the holidays are over can be even more frustrating. Renting holiday-related items can be a hassle-free way to get what you need without the expense of buying, the logistical challenges of borrowing and the headache of storing stuff after the holidays. Local rental stores carry everything you need to move quickly and calmly from holiday to holiday. You can rent Halloween costumes; chafing dishes, silverware, dishes and linens for a big Thanksgiving meal; and decor for Christmas and New Year’s. You can find tables and chairs, lighting, centerpieces and even portable dance floors for New Year’s parties. Visit www.rentalHQ. com to find an American Rental Association member store in your Page 16
area, and remember to reserve items early as the holidays are a busy time for rental stores as well. Repurpose recipes Your guest list probably changes from celebration to celebration. The big Halloween party might include friends from the neighborhood or co-workers; Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are for spending time with family; and your annual New Year’s Eve party involves practically everyone you know. Trying to make different dishes and entirely unique menus for every one of those holiday celebrations could drive you crazy. Try repurposing recipes and reusing dishes that are easy to make, impressive to eat and work for you and your budget. For example, the punch you made for Halloween could also be great for New Year’s, especially with a grownup flare. The pumpkin cheesecake that was the perfect ending to your Thanksgiving menu can be just as delicious for New Year’s. Since each event will probably have a different guest list, it won’t look like you’re repeating yourself. Soothe your senses Gaudy store displays, flashing holiday lights, blaring TV and radio commercials - the sights and sounds of the season can sometimes get to be too much. Soothing your senses can help create calm amid the chaos. While it may not be possible to completely unplug from the sensory overload the holidays can become, certain tactics can help relax you. Try using aromatherapy at home and even in the office to create a scented oasis of serenity. Scented candles, potpourri or room spray in popular holiday aromas like pine, cinnamon, peppermint and vanilla can subliminally create calm. Music is also one of the most enjoyable aspects of the holiday season. If you love holiday music, playing it in the background while you tackle chores like meal prep or gift wrapping can help relax you and put you in a festive mood. Or, if you’re feeling overloaded with holiday music, put on something else that you find soothing - classical music, jazz or hip hop. Whatever works for you is the right background music to help you enjoy the season! (BPT) -

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.
