The 2014 7th Generation Corvette Stingray An All-American sports car, the Chevy Corvette, turns 60 this year. When introduced in 1953, it was a small two-seater convertible, with the objective of providing GM with a more sporty image. Now, in its 6th Generation body design, the Corvette still maintains its basic formula - a sporty, two-seater with a front engine and rear drive. However, changes are coming in 2014, when the all-new 7th Generation Corvette makes its debut. Introduced at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year and having an impressive coming out party at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, the 2014 Vette is generating a lot of excitement. Although it has maintained its distinctive, easily-recognizable profile, the edgy new look is quite different from its predecessors’. Here are some of my initial firsthand impressions, as well as those of longtime Corvette enthusiasts. The Stingray Name Returns The name, Stingray, was first used in 1963, it was discontinued in 1976, and now, 37 years later Chevy is bringing it back. The Stingray marque remains popular today, particularly because it evokes images of the original split-window coupe and the
“stinger” hood scoop design on the model’s earlier cars, but, surprisingly, the 2014 model pays no homage to these body characteristics. I can’t help but wonder how the 2014 would have looked if GM had chosen to incorporate these characteristics. Nevertheless, there’s little doubt, the reappearance of the name, Stingray, will be beneficial to marketing the new Corvette. Edgy Body Design The angled body style of the 2014 Corvette is widely referred to as the “stealth fighter” look. Whether it will be effective in avoiding radar detection on the highway is yet to be seen, but if you like the look of the F-117 Nighthawk, this may be the car for you. Early polling of Corvette enthusiasts indicate that three out of four like it, but for some, the verdict is still out. Most of the dissenters say they need more time to make their final evaluation of this Corvette, with the new edgy design. Walking Around the Car In a radical departure from previous models, the 2014 Corvette coupe’s rear roof intersects the beltline, creating a backward facing “V”. Body color-matching arches run from the
rear of the car over the side glass to the front windshield. The rear window, which differs from the curved, humpback look of the earlier models, is now rectangular in shape. The taillights, which were previously either round or oval, have been replaced by two rectangular lights on each side. More than one person has commented that the rear looks a lot like GMs other sporty car, the Camaro. Up front, the headlight bucket has been updated with an aggressive angular configuration, and LED accident lighting has been added around the main lamps. Will the New Stingray be a Winner? Because of the legion of Corvette enthusiasts, the odds are stacked in
GMs favor that the new Vette will be a success. It may take a little time for purists to fully appreciate the new style, but seeing it firsthand may make the difference in the final analysis. When the new Stingray rolled across the stage at the Barrett-Jackson auction, the crowd’s response was overwhelming. Of course, the bidding frenzy for 0001 of this 7th Generation model, which topped off at $1,100,000, certainly contributed to the excitement. Industry sources say the 2014 coupe production will start later this year, with the convertible model starting sometime in 2014. Options and pricing have not yet been released.

Be a Good “Roll Model” and Practice Bicycle Riding Safety Tips! May is National Bike Month to bring awareness to all the benefits regarding Biking. No matter what age it’s important to be a good “Roll Model” for Safety to be a good cyclist says Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna. “More and more people are taking to the streets for both exercise, pleasure and commuting.” It’s important to observe the following safety tips when riding your bicycle: Be Visible Always think of how other operators see you. Wear light and/or bright colors to be seen better. Be Predictable Follow the same rules motorists do. You will get along with them better and enjoy cycling more. Select The Best Route Look for roadways that have less traffic, are wider and are reasonably straight. Use designated bike routes. They are planned for your safety and enjoyment as a bicyclist. Watch For Hazards Regularly scan the roadway ahead and to your side for cars, pedestrians and unexpected hazards such as potholes, glass and roadside trees that limit visibility. Be prepared to yield even though you may have the right-of-way. Ride at least 2 feet from the road edge to avoid debris and allow space to maneuver. Keep Control Of Your Bicycle Keeping both hands on the handlebars allows you to make quicker turns and stops. In rain, allow up to three times the normal distance to stop. Always Wear A Helmet A helmet does four things for you: Makes you more visible; keeps your head cooler in the sun; helps gain motorists respect; and, most importantly, it protects your head if you fall. Use Lights At Night - Be Seen! The laws requires a white headlight and red rear reflector at night. Adding a red tail light or amber reflector makes you even more visible.
Obey Traffic Signs, Signals, Laws Bicyclists must operate their bicycles like drivers of vehicles. Obeying laws makes you more predictable to motorists, who will then take you more seriously. Use Hand Signals Hand signals tell motorists and pedestrians what you intend to do. Signal as a matter of law, courtesy and self-protection. Ride On The Right With Traffic Ride with traffic. Motorists aren’t looking for bicyclists riding on the wrong side of the roadway. Bicycling on the wrong side is particularly dangerous at intersections, roadway curves and on the crests of hills. Turning Left Bicyclists can make a left turn by: 1) signaling, yielding to traffic, moving into the left lane, then turning left; or 2) riding straight across, stopping, and crossing when clear. Riding Through Intersections When you’re going straight through an intersection, avoid the right-turn-only lane. Don’t try to ride to the right of a right-turning motorist, even if you think you have the right-of-way. Motorists, Pass With Care Motorists are required by law to pass with at least three feet clearance; please provide even more (up to five feet) whenever possible.

All-New 2014 Porsche Macan Compact Luxury SUV The fine automotive engineers at Porsche are hard at work on allnew compact luxury SUV, set to be released some time next year as a 2014 model. Known as the Porsche Macan, the newest addition to the lineup will slot in below the Cayenne in size and price. The name “Macan” comes from the Indonesian word for tiger, and if the first official design sketch shown here is any indication, this cat looks ready to pounce. When the Porsche Cayenne first went on sale for the 2004 model year, enthusiasts cried foul at the makers of the hallowed 911 turning to SUVs. But consumers spoke with their wallets, and the Cayenne went on to become Porsche’s best-selling model. Preliminary 2014 Porsche Macan Specs Engine choices reportedly will range from a rather pedestrian fourcylinder making around 220 horsepower to the extreme Macan Turbo’s twin-turbocharged V6 expected to produce 370 horsepower and 400 lb-ft. torque. A naturally aspirated V6 and turbodiesel are also in the cards. Porsche is calling the Macan “a sports car in the SUV segment,” and with less girth and weight to haul around than the Cayenne it should
be a winner in the performance department. Expect the choice of rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, plus the buyer’s choice of either a true three-pedal manual or Porsche PDK automated dual-clutch gearbox with paddle shifters. The Macan will be built at the company’s Leipzig, Germany plant starting in 2013. The site is currently undergoing 500 million Euros in renovations to prepare for the new model, which will be built there from start to finish. Macan production will create more than 1,000 new jobs at Porsche. Where does it fit? Along with the Boxster roadster and Cayman coupe, the Macan will give buyers another option to get into a vehicle with true world-class performance at a lower price point than the 911, Cayenne and Panamera.

The award-winning and hot-selling Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has proved buyers will shell out for a compact luxury SUV with an even higher emphasis on the luxury. What is seen by some of the Porsche faithful as a watering-down of the brand is seen by the automaker as a golden opportunity to move into one of the industry’s fastest-growing segments. What remains to be seen is whether or not the Macan will be
able to make it as a true performance car. If anyone can make a small SUV that drives like a sports car it’s Porsche, as the car-addicted world anxiously waits to see the final design and spec sheet. Expect an official introduction at next year’s Geneva Auto Show, or possibly sooner.
Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Discusses Sleep Problems.
While local dentist Dr. Michael Tessier is well known for his exceptionally gentle and friendly care of children, cosmetic restorations for adults, and both conventional and Invisalign orthodontics, his office also focuses on his patients overall health. “I read an article the other day that said, in effect, sleep could be hazardous to your health. They were referring to sleep apnea, the cessation of breathing while sleeping. I was especially interested in this topic as my office provides significant relief for people who suffer from this particular discomfort,” said Dr. Tessier. “Sleep apnea can be caused by extra redundant tissue (fat) in the throat or neck which can reduce the diameter of or even cut-off the windpipe while one is in a relaxed sleep-state. It can also be caused by the lower jaw relaxing back into the neck, allowing the base of the tongue to lie on the windpipe, like a manhole cover, cutting off the air flow to the lungs. This causes the body to wake up enough to take a deep breath. These wake-ups are often gasps for air, and may even include sitting boltupright in bed, in a panic. Either of these restrictions can happen as many as fortyfive times a minute (yes, a minute) preventing deep, replenishing sleep, and causing a dramatic reduction in the amount of oxygen that gets into the blood stream. This oxygen reduction negatively impacts the brain, and is damaging or stressful to the heart muscle, and may be fatal in some cases. “Just the other day, I had a conversation with a clinical psychologist about the negative results of sleep deprivation, like from sleep apnea, or just plain too-few hours of sack-time. She said that the biggest issue is the replenishment of neuro–transmitters (chemicals in nerve connections ((synapses)) like serotonin, acetylcholine, or dopamine) that could, among other things, lead to depression. The conversation went to medicinal sleep aids, like Temazepam or Ambien. I asked if taking drugs like that would be habit forming on a long-term basis. The doctor was of the opinion that the negatives from sleep deprivation were worse than the negatives from long-term use of drugs. “An easier solution than drugs is often to use one of our sleep apnea appliances, which are simple, unobtrusive in-the-mouth appliances that keep the jaw forward and the base of the tongue off the windpipe (trachea). In more severe cases, use of a CPAP device, a positive-pressure air pump that keeps the windpipe open, might be indicated,” said Dr. Tessier. So, if you or the person sleeping next to you or your next-door neighbor is snoring loudly or waking-up gasping for air, a call to Dr. Tessier’s Office for a complimentary consultation appointment may be in order. Dr. Michael Tessier’s office is located at 28562 Oso Parkway at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways in the retail center near the carwash and Starbucks. The telephone number is 949-459-7212.

Poncho is a 2-year-old male long-haired dachshund mix who has had a rough start to life. Before arriving at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center, this little guy was hit by a car and broke his right femur, all of his toes in his right foot, and his pelvis. He must have been in excruciating pain for weeks before he was found on the side of the road and brought to the center. Dedicated Animal Welfare Group paid for a specialty surgeon to fix him up, but Poncho remained in a cast for weeks. Although the healing process was long, Poncho has made an amazing recovery and can walk, run, and play like other dogs. However, being injured so badly has taken its toll on Poncho, as he can be hesitant to trust. He has physically healed, but he now needs a dedicated individual or couple who can help him heal emotionally. Once he trusts someone, he loves them unconditionally and is as happy as can be to sit with them and give kisses. Poncho is ready for his forever home now, so please come to the Animal Services Center to meet this special boy. The facility is located at 28095 Hillcrest. For more information, call 949470-3045 or visit cmvas.org.

It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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 (714) 480-5690 or (800) 843-0260 ext 5690 or visit this Internet Web site: http://www.tacforeclosures. com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case F539626 F. 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. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney. Date: April 24, 2013 T.D. SERVICE COMPANY as said Trustee, T.D.

2014 Pagani Huayra: First You Win The Powerball Jackpot... It’s Fun To Dream About
Kyle Busch Let’s face it, in these economic times who can afford an exotic supercar? I know that I can’t! However, we can read about them and even decide if they ‘would be right’ for us. Oh, I’ll pass on that supercar for now, what a luxury! Anyway, looking on the bright side, by not actually owning a supercar, we get to avoid the maintenance costs and insurance bills. In 1999 the Pagani Zonda made its debut at the Geneva Auto Show. It impressed the automotive community with its performance, quality, and refined engine and chassis. The Pagani Huayra is the successor to the Zonda. Of note, the man who is responsible for making Huayra possible is Horacio Pagani. In most of my articles, I leave the price until last. However, this time, I will begin with the 2014 Pagani Page 18
Huayra’s price - an estimated 1.2 million (base price). The car is a mid-engined, rearwheel drive, two passenger two-door coupe. The car sits low to the ground and it is very sleek. Its two gullwing doors swing up to provide easy entry and exit. The headlights are dual elliptical units nicely integrated in each front fender. The mirrors hang suspended off the fenders. On the technological front, the car has flaps at each corner that move independently to change the down force based on inputs from sensors that measure the car’s speed, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, as well as roll and steering angle. In short, this car stays firmly planted on the road and track like few others. The chassis is a monocoque design made from titanium infused carbon fiber. The suspension is race
The Ladera Ranch News
car built and consists of double wishbones, coil springs, anti-roll bars, and pushrod actuated Ohlina shocks at all four corners. There are 1,200 titanium bolts (I like to use plain old stainless steel) that cost $80 each. The interior is fully equipped and as comfortable as you would want. Some of the details include an exposed shifter linkage described as a work of art. The car’s instrument dials are made from the same material that Patek Philippe has used to make watch faces (a set of four reportedly cost near $9,000). The brakes are provided by Brembo and are 15-inch vented carbonceramic discs at all four corners. The tires are PZeros specifically developed by Pirelli for the car. They measure 225 3519 inch at the front and 235 30 20 inch at the rear. The exclusive tires not only handle the
car’s top speed but also enable 1.5 g of grip in the corners. The power for the Pagani Huayra Sport Edition is a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 providing 730 hp and an estimated 740 ft. lb. of torque. The transmission is a seven-speed automatic with shift paddles on the steering wheel. As this supercar weights in at a light 3000 lbs., its 0-60 mph time is estimated to be in 3 seconds with a quarter-mile time of 10.8 seconds and a top speed of 230 mph! And what is this supercar like on the road? Mr. Pagani says that the Huayra was inspired by the idea of a “roadgoing jet.” He tuned the car’s intake note to sound like an F-15 fighter jet spooling up when the driver gets on the accelerator. Unlike other supercars such as Ferraris or Lamborghinis, the Huayra is a unique blend of art and technology.

Elks Lodge Cinco de Mayo Extravaganza Nets $3,000 for Charity From its sold-out Cinco de Mayo extravaganza, Mission Viejo / Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge No. 2444 (“Elks Lodge”) netted $3,000 for the Elks National Foundation, which provides funds for youth scholarships and community projects in the Saddleback Valley and throughout the United States. Chairperson for the event was Elks Lodge vice president Camacho Alvarez. Guests enjoyed an authentic Mexican dinner of green salad, tamale, barbacoa (shredded beef with sauce), rice, beans and dessert of flan or churro with ice cream. During dinner, the guests were serenaded by strolling Mariachi Guadalajara musicians. The delicious meal was catered and arranged for serving with the Elks Lodge volunteer kitchen crew of Gwen Williams, Steve Rusie, Ben Blair, Matt Williams and Mary Ann Alvarez. Servers were members of CSU Fullerton’s Lambda Theta Alpha Sorority. Event printed material, decorations and margarita fountains were generously supplied by Elks Lodge member Stephanie Bongartz of Lake Forest’s Bongo, Inc. After dinner, the guests were enthralled and mesmerized by the performances of the Ballet Folklorico
Puro Corazon, which means “purely heart”. They lived up to their motto of “leave your heart on the floor” as they performed several regional Mexican dances with proper customs for each region. The dancers, students of CSU Fullerton’s Cultural Programs, range in age from 17 to 23. The evening continued with music from Elk member’s favorite rock and roll band Alter Ego. Elks Lodge past president and Orange Coast District State vice president Harvey Boelts of San Juan Capistrano said, “The food was fantastic! The dance and music performances were incredible! What a terrific way to raise money for charity.” Boelts added, “I will be reserving two tables for next year’s extravaganza”. The Mission Viejo / Saddleback Elks Lodge No. 2444, celebrating forty-three (43) years of service to the Saddleback Valley communities, is one of ten lodges in the Orange Coast District of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) whose headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois. The BPOE is a charitable organization with a 145 year history of Elks Lodge President Jason Spence giving, “Elks Care, Elks Share.” of Rancho Santa Margarita (Center) Photos by Dennis Lumley

Shabbat in 60 – A Dive into Jewish Community and Cuisine “Rachael Ray step aside!” read the announcement for “Shabbat in 60 Minutes,” put on by the Jewish Women’s Circle early in May. This seemingly bold statement was not as bold as it seemed, considering that the person billed to take Rachael’s place was a well-established culinary expert of her own, local creator of authentic, gourmet Jewish cuisine, Rochel Kantor of Chabad Jewish Center of RSM. Without a show of her own but with a roomful of admirers, Rochel set about racing the clock to complete a five-course Shabbat dinner just one hour. Her hands were almost as quick as the rapid-fire, lively, Brooklyn-accented commentary that accompanied her peeling, chopping, shaping, stirring. Even before the timer rang, participants had learned how to produce neatly-shaped six-braid challah breads (ahh, the heavenly scent of Shabbat baking), traditional cooked gefilte fish (“not in the same world” as the petrified-jelly ones in the jar), and steaming savory chicken soup (like Grandma’s); and Rochel
had shared her secret shortcut to delectable sweet sesame-schnitzel, tips for quick and delicious dips and salads, and memories and stories galore. The rest of the evening was filled with great mingling and socializing over a buffet of classic appetizers, an insightful discussion into the powerful and personally relevant message of Shabbat, and much laughter and fun.
