Dust off the grill and get those favorite barbecue recipes ready – it’s tailgating time! Whether watching at home or at the stadium, big games provide ample opportunities for entertaining and nothing brings friends together like grilled dishes, flavorful sides and delicious drinks. For many, watching the game is only half the experience. The tailgate is the main event and the fun and rivalry it brings is just as important as watching the game. Just as players work hard to prepare football formations, fans are just as focused on preparations for the big party. When it comes to planning your tailgate menu, grilled fare is always a winning choice. While beer has historically reigned supreme as the game day beverage pairing, more fans are looking to mix things up. Here are some tailgate pairings sure to score big with guests at your next game day celebration: Beef Classic selections such as juicy ribs and hamburgers are common fixtures on many tailgating menus. Try creating your own marinades with ingredients like honey, sweet chili sauce, ground ginger or Creole

seasoning. Put a personal spin on classic hamburgers by serving them with interesting toppings like cherry chutney, smoky chili or creamy beer cheese. For side options, consider slowcooked baked beans, jalapeno cornbread muffins or crunchy slaw tossed with a fresh lemon dressing. Bring out the richness of red meats with a glass of Yellow Tail Big Bold Red, which serves up flavors of dark fruits, a hint of spice and bold oak notes. Chicken Whether its wings or sandwiches, chicken is typically on the game day menu, but that doesn’t have to mean boring. Add some extra zing to everyone’s favorite white meat with a spicy curry rub or Asian-inspired marinade blend. Serve these dishes with a side of cucumber or cold pasta tossed with roasted red pepper, mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Not sure of a beverage selection? Pair your poultry with a sweet moscato or bottled sangria. Seafood Some fans may need a break from the fried foods that grace the tailgate spread. Give guests the option

TAX PLANNING STRATEGIES FOR 2016 FROM KIM COYLE CPA
Dear Client; As the end of the year approaches, it’s a good time to think of planning strategies that will help lowering your taxes for 2016. My goal is for you to leverage your tax deductions and credit to the fullest extent. I want to briefly discuss five different strategies that can be powerful tools in lowering your tax bill. And the really great part is that each of these strategies is easy to understand and implement. Here are the strategies: 1. Prepay Expenses The IRS allows cash-basis taxpayers to prepay and deduct qualifying expenses up to 12 months in advance (through December 2017) without challenge, adjustment, or change by the IRS. For a cash-basis taxpayer, qualifying expenses include lease payment on business vehicles, rent payments on offices and machinery, and business and malpractice insurance premiums. This is a great way to pump up your 2016 deductions with expenses you will eventually pay anyway. 2. Stop Billing Customers and Patients An easy strategy for reducing your taxable income for this year is to stop billing your customers until December 31, 2016. Customers, patients, and insurance companies generally don’t pay until billed. Not billing customers and patients is a time-tested tax planning strategy that business owner have used successfully for years. 3. Buy Office Equipment With Section 179, you can write off up to $500,000 of office equipment in 2016. Qualifying Section 179 purchases include new and used personal property such as equipment, computers, desks, chairs, and certain qualifying vehicles. To qualify for Section 179, you need to both buy the items and put them in business service on or before midnight December 31, 2016. 4. Use Your Credit Cards If you are a sole proprietor, the day you charge a purchase to your business or personal credit card is the day the expense is deductible, Therefore, as a proprietor, consider using your credit cards to buy office supplies and other business necessities. If you operate your business as a corporation, and if the corporation has a credit card in the corporate name, the same rule applies: the date of charge is the date of deduction for the corporation. But if you operate your business as a corporation and you are the personal owner of the credit card, the corporation must reimburse you if you want the corporation to realize the tax deduction, and that happens on the date of reimbursement. Thus, submit your expense report and have your corporation make its reimbursements to you before midnight on December 31. 5. Don’t Assume You Are Taking Too Many Deductions Make sure your record all of your rightful deductions for 2016, because if your business deductions exceed your business income, you have a tax loss for the year. After a few modifications to the loss, tax law calls this a “net operating loss,” or an NOL. The good news is that tax law allows you to carry back the NOL for two years and get instant refunds from taxes previously paid. If, after going back for two years, you still have unused losses, you can carry them forward for up to 20 years. In other words, you have a 22-year window during which you can realize the benefits of your deductions. So always document your expenses in order to get your rightful deductions. Please do not hesitate contact me if you want to discuss in greater depth any of the strategies outlined above.

More than 150 Pop Art works go on view at the Orange County Museum of Art Pop Art Design In the late 1950s, Pop Art burst onto the art scene with nothing less than a bang. On January 7, 2017, the Orange County Museum of Art opened Pop Art Design with more than 150 artworks that are bold, bright, and familiar. Pop Art influenced furniture and architecture, as well as everyday objects. Sofas, lamps, and paper bags became topics of artistic reflection and developed into a genre that moved beyond visual art and included both graphic design and industrial design. Pop Art Design is the first comprehensive exhibition examining the inspirations and cross-references between art and design that continue to shape our society today. The exhibition is on view January 7 through April 2, 2017. Pop Art is one of the most influential art movements since 1945 with a fundamental element of dialogue between design and art. Pop Art Design features artworks from international museums by artists Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, Richard Hamilton, and more; juxtaposed design objects by designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Achille Castiglioni, and Ettore Sottsass; as well as extensive ephemera. “We are excited to host this international exhibition that examines the intersection between Pop art and design,” stated OCMA Director and CEO Todd D. Smith. “OCMA is the only west coast venue for this exhibition, and we are pleased to complement the work in the exhibition with important works from our own collection.” Some of the highlights of the exhibition include George Nelson’s Marshmallow Sofa (1955); Andy Warhol’s iconic Campbell’s Soup Cans II (1969); Studio 65’s Leonardo
sofa which has rarely been exhibited since it was first produced in 1969; Allen Jones’s provocative Chair (1969); Verner Panton’s Cone Armchair K3 (1959); Superstudio’s Passiflora floor or wall lamp (1966), and notable album covers from the 1960s. OCMA will enhance the exhibition with several original artworks from its own collection including paintings by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and Ed Ruscha, as well as iconic sculptures such as Wedding Souvenir (1966) by Claes Oldenberg and Eraser (1967) by Vija Celmins. “Vibrant and innovative, while also a playful commentary on consumer culture, this exhibition demonstrates the extraordinary influence of the Pop sensibility on all aspects of day to day life,” stated OCMA Senior Curator Cassandra Coblentz. Pop Art’s influence on furniture, graphic design, and architecture has until this point received limited attention. This exhibition unites artworks and design objects, along with photographs, documents, films, and texts. With this variety of material, Pop Art Design demonstrates how design in the early 1950s anticipated later elements of Pop Art when both artists and designers explored the
motifs of the emerging consumer society. Objects of daily use were transformed into artistic pictorial motifs and sculptures while designers, in turn, availed themselves of artistic strategies like quotation, collage, and irony to develop a new aesthetic for everyday objects. Pop Art shaped a new sense of cultural identity, with a focus on celebrity, mass consumer production, and the expanding industries of advertising, television, radio and print media. Pop Art Design offers new insights into the pop phenomenon: the migration of motifs between art and design; the relationship between everyday object and image; and how everyday life first came under the still-dominant influence of pop culture. OCMA INFORMATION Wednesday – Sunday, 11 am – 5 pm; with extended hours Friday, 11 am – 8 pm. Admission: Adults $10, seniors and students $7.50, children 12 and under are free. Fridays are free to the public and parking is always free. Orange County Museum of Art is located at 850 San Clemente Drive in Newport Beach, CA. For additional information, call 949.759.1122 or visit www.ocma.net.

The grand opening marks the 75th anniversary of the opening of the former Santa Ana Army Air Base), the current site of the 150-acre event center.

Additional narratives and objects will be included from Orange County veterans from World War II up to current military involvement in the Middle East. In addition to free public exhibitions, Heroes Hall will work in conjunction with the Orange County Department of Education to provide 11th-grade students a unique way to meet a California State Standard requiring them to study about the sacrifices of individual U.S. soldiers and the unique contributions of special fighting units.

The performance schedule is yet to be determined. Outside the Heroes Hall exhibition building is the newly constructed Medal of Honor Courtyard and Walk of Honor. At the center of the Medal of
Honor Courtyard is a 36,000-pound, 50-foot-wide cement star that is based on the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest U.S. military honor awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty. Surrounding the Courtyard is the Walk of Honor, two semicircles of pillars with plaques honoring Orange County veterans who received distinguished military honors, local veterans who served in the Korean War, World War I and World War II, and local veterans who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. Planning and construction of Heroes Hall was fully funded by the OC Fair & Event Center, which is the 32nd District Agricultural Association of California Department of Food and Agriculture.

L a d e r a T e e n s L e a r n L e a d e r s h i p Sk i l l s and Inspire Leadership in Others
The Ladera Ranch Teen Leadership Council is a program run and funded by the Ladera Ranch Community Services (LARCS) board to provide teens with opportunities to gain leadership skills which will prove to be essential in the occupational world. It is comprised of twenty-five of Ladera Ranch’s most qualified 7th-12th graders who work to not only benefit themselves but their community as well. TLC’s main aspirations involve community service, planning events for Ladera Ranch teens, and educating youth on the importance of developing leadership skills at a young age. A minimum of ten volunteer hours is required to maintain a position
on the Council. This is easily met, as the council has a presence and volunteers at all LARCS community events. This provides the teens with the opportunity to work behind the scenes at events such as the annual Spring Celebration, Harvest Festival, and Tree Lighting Ceremony. Each year, TLC also strives to serve the community through at least one meaningful service project. This past year, TLC members built a natural playground at the Reserve at Rancho Mission Viejo, a nearby wildlife preserve for children to enjoy. It was a wonderful way for the teens to connect with the environment and give back. Ladera Ranch is known for its amazing events for children and families. Often times, at Community events there is little for teens to or take part in. In Ladera, teens are encouraged to attend and take part in family events, TLC has found ways to use their leadership skills and talents in event planning to help give teens what they want at local events. Presently, the two most significant events put on by TLC are the “Teen Movie Night” in October and the “Teen Zone” during the Fourth of July Celebration. Both events are exclusively for teenagers in Ladera, free of charge. Members of the Council receive a budget which they use to fund, plan,
and execute their events. Everything from food to activities is planned to the finest detail democratically in council meetings. After the event is approved by the LARCS board, the event is set up and staffed by TLC members, who sign up for volunteer shifts. This way, TLC members get the chance to exercise creativity in event planning and practice leadership skills to help teens in Ladera Ranch participate in fun activities with their own age group. TLC hopes to educate and inspire leadership all teens. To achieve this goal, they will be implementing different programs through the media and social networking to reach larger audiences of teens in and around Ladera Ranch. One example is the speaker series, which involves
bringing speakers from various fields and occupations to teach the council about their fields of expertise. The Communications team aims to open this educational process to teens outside the Council, in hopes of inspiring other teens to actively seek leadership opportunities. It is widely understood that most older teens can be reached and taught through technology. Therefore, the council will build up a social media and web presence to influence a wide demographic of leaders better equipped for success. The hope is that these efforts will eventually inspire other communities to implement their own teen leadership councils to broaden the amount of teens learning vital leadership skills at a young age.

Beginning Wednesday, February 1, students in the Capistrano Unified School District can apply to one of 43 different academic programs during the annual School of Choice period. The School of Choice process provides parents with the ability to apply to a school outside of their child’s attendance area on a space-available basis. This year, there are 43 schools with space to accept School of Choice students. Detailed information describing each school and its academic offerings is available online at http://capousdca.schoolloop.com/soc, and many of our schools participate in social media. Parents are also encouraged to contact their schools of interest and make an appointment to tour the campus and visit the classrooms. School of Choice applications will be available online at http://capousdca.schoolloop.com/soc, at local schools, and at the District Education Center, 33122 Valle Road, San Juan Capistrano. The application period begins Wednesday, February 1 and ends Friday, March 3. Completed applications must be turned in between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. either at the school to which the child is applying or at the District Education Center, 33122 Valle Rd.,

The students were Amanda Wilson, Amanda Fosdick, Isabella Zintel, Audrey Narkchareon, Kennedy Kremmerer, Melody Tajilli, Margaret Driscoll, Dalton Porter, Chadi Tarazi, and Shoki Yoda. The students were traveling to the Yale Model United Nations conference (YMUN) to represent the country of the United Arab Emirates at a simulation of the real United Nations. The students were able to visit the college campuses of Princeton, Columbia, New York University and Yale. The students visited the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, and The Museum of Modern Art, the MET, skated in Rockefeller Center, walked around Central Park and saw the Lion King on Broadway. And of course, the group also toured the real
United Nations. While in New York, SMHS students were able to visit many SMHS alumni who are working or going to school in the New York area. Alums Hannah Ahn ’04, Brad Mielke ’03, Danielle Lachance ’05, Alexis Garby ’08, Katherine Matthesien ’10, Jessica (Drivas) Engles ’11, Lauren Velasquez ’08, Anna Marie Jennings ’14 and Sarah Porter ’12 took time to meet with the ten current students. From New York, the group traveled to New Haven, Connecticut to attend the 43rd annual YMUN. Over seventy schools attended this conference including many international schools. SMCHS Alumna Nicole Minkina 13’ was one of the Yale University students in charge of running the African Union Committee at the conference. At the conference, the students discussed issues such as the illicit trade of drugs, the refugee crisis, and the status of the South China Sea.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 2/16/2017 at 9:00 AM, CLEAR RECON CORP., as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 8/31/2006, as Instrument No. 2006000587456, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Orange County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: WILLIAM E SAWIN SR., AND BETTY LOU SAWIN, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS COMMUNITY PROPERTY WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: ON THE FRONT STEPS TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE ORANGE CIVIC CENTER, 300 E. CHAPMAN, ORANGE, CA 92866 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED ON SAID DEED OF TRUST The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 25 KEMPTON LANE LADERA RANCH, CA 92694 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,070,643.09 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be
the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 043726-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

AMAZING GRAPES
IT’S NOT JUST FOOD, IT IS AN EXPERIENCE
Serving Southern California since 1974. Moroccan cuisine plays on the senses, from flaky bastilles, to mouth watering tagines. Each Moroccan dish is prepared to tantalize you with intoxicating aromas and flavors. But in Morocco, mealtime is not just a meal, but a social event as well. Family and friends linger over each bite enjoying the company as much as the food.

With all the time off, the holiday season is a great time to earn sweat equity on your home. Here are 3 easy projects anyone can do to increase the value of their home.
1. FIX THE SIMPLE THINGS
There are many common things around the house like hinges, wheels on doors, light bulbs, electrical switches, running toilets, and even faucets that are relatively simple items to address. There are many helpful people at your local hardware store that will happily help you figure out how to solve these issues. Your home will attract a higher price if there is less to fix.
2. CREATE A FRESH OUTDOOR SPACE
The outdoor spaces are very important to many buyers. There are many simple things you can do around the yard including planting fresh flowers, cleaning overgrown areas, trimming trees, power washing patios, and cleaning outdoor appliances that can really increase the appeal of your property by making the outdoor space feel fresh.
3. PAINTING IN STYLE
You’ve seen all the home improvement shows and the house flipping shows. What’s the one thing that always gets the most bang for the buck? Interior paint of course. I would love to help you choose paint colors that are most popular with buyers in the current market. Painting is easy and can even be fun. Almost anyone can do it!
