Governor Brown calls for water conservation Calls for Conservation Statewide, Directs State to Manage Water for Drought With California facing water shortfalls in the driest year in recorded state history, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today proclaimed a State of Emergency and directed state officials to take all necessary actions to prepare for these drought conditions. “We can’t make it rain, but we can be much better prepared for the terrible consequences that California’s drought now threatens, including dramatically less water for our farms and communities and increased fires in both urban and rural areas,” said Governor Brown. “I’ve declared this emergency and I’m calling all Californians to conserve water in every way possible.” In the State of Emergency declaration, Governor Brown directed state officials to assist farmers and communities that are economically impacted by dry conditions and to ensure the state can respond if Californians face drinking water shortages. The Governor also directed state agencies to use less water and hire more firefighters and initiated a greatly expanded water conservation Page 2
public awareness campaign (details at saveourh2o.org). In addition, the proclamation gives state water officials more flexibility to manage supply throughout California under drought conditions. State water officials say that California’s river and reservoirs are below their record lows. Manual and electronic readings record the snowpack’s statewide water content at about 20 percent of normal average for this time of year. The Governor’s drought State of Emergency follows a series of actions the administration has taken to ensure that California is prepared for record dry conditions. In May 2013, Governor Brown issued an Executive Order to direct state water officials to expedite the review and processing of voluntary transfers of water and water rights. In December, the Governor formed a Drought Task Force to review expected water allocations, California’s preparedness for water scarcity and whether conditions merit a drought declaration. Earlier this week, the Governor toured the Central Valley and spoke with growers and others impacted by California’s record dry conditions.

Whale Watching on Land in Southern California Watch whales migrate up the Southern California coast to Alaska from February through April while standing on dry land. Starting in November, the whales pass by again as they head south to the warmer waters of Baja. Where Los Serenos de Point Vicente is a terrific place to stand high on cliffs above the ocean and see whales migrate up the coast. Bring binoculars to get a good view. A viewing platform is outside the back of the museum. We drove in to the parking lot off Rancho Palos Drive West to a spectacular view. To the southwest Catalina Island was in clear view 20 miles across the channel. The details of its ridges were clear. A few large ships sailed past the island to the horizon and we scanned the waters below for whale sightings. Directly to the north was Malibu, showing how dramatically the coast curves in and then juts out again. A crowd stood on the balcony with binoculars, telescopes, and imaging devices hooked up to a laptop computer. A dry erase board with the number of whales spotted was nearby. Eight whales had been
spotted that day by the time we arrived at noon. The whale census officially starts December 1 and ends May 15. Whale Sightings While we scanned the waters and enjoyed watching the surf splash against the cliffs, I wondered if we would see any. I glanced back at the crowd and when I heard murmurings and saw what appeared to be veteran whale watchers take action I looked back and saw a spout of water not much more than a half mile off shore. I looked and saw it again, slightly further to the north. Then another spout of water appeared and a dark form quickly skimmed the surface. The trail of water spouts was heading north at a steady pace. I looked to the horizon and saw the ships appear smaller. And then I looked back to the water and the whales had passed. It was quiet again until more water spouts appeared in approximately the same area. Other whale watchers were members of the American Cetacean Society. Then we hiked a wide trail leading along the edge of the cliffs glancing to the ocean and
occasionally seeing water spouts move in to the distance. We had seen five whales by the time we left after 2 hours. About Point Vicente Los Serenos de Point Vicente is located in Rancho Palos Verdes and it juts in to the water so the coast both to the north and south curve back toward the mainland. The Point Vicente Interpretive Center is worth visiting with educational exhibits on the Tongva Indians and an exhibit dedicated to the original Marineland, a park that was a pioneer in aquatic
animal shows starting in 1954 and finally closing doors in 1987. The park and museum are located at 31501 Palos Verdes Drive West Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275. Phone 310-377-5370. There was no charge for parking. It’s 31 miles south of Los Angeles and just a few miles north of Long Beach. Be patient with the surface street traffic off the 110 freeway when exiting through San Pedro on Pacific Coast Highway or farther south. The drive is certainly worthwhile.

Expert Answers to Common DMV Questions. By the California Department of Motor Vehicles
Do you have questions about general driving related requirements like registration, licensing and driver safety? Are you unclear about laws and restrictions related to driving? The California Department of Motor Vehicles has answers. “Save Time, Go Online,” at www.dmv.ca.gov. You can submit any DMV-related questions at AskDMV@dmv.ca.gov 1. Q. Can I just show up at a DMV field office and take a drive test, or do I need to have an appointment? A. No, DMV field offices require an appointment for a drive test. You can make a drive test appointment online atwww.dmv.ca.gov or by calling 1–800–777–0133. When you arrive for your drive test you will need your permit, vehicle registration, and auto insurance. More information can be found about drive test requirements by checking the California Driver Handbook or online. 2. Q. I read that Governor Brown signed a law that will allow undocumented people to obtain a driver’s license. Can you tell me when the law will take effect? A. You are correct, in October of last year Governor Brown signed AB 60, which requires DMV to issue driver’s licenses to undocumented drivers and becomes operative by January 1, 2015. In the meantime, DMV will adopt regulations that will detail how applicants can prove identity and California residency. DMV will also put into effect a plan to serve the approximate 1.4 million people who are estimated to apply for a license under the new law. DMV encourages future all applicants for a driver’s license, to prepare for Page 4
the written exam by studying the California Driver Handbook available on the DMV webpage atwww.dmv. ca.gov. The website also features sample tests that could be useful for the applicants. The California Driver Handbook is available in 10 languages at all DMV field offices: English, Armenian, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. 3. Q. I am going to start riding my bike to work and I know there are rules that apply to bicyclists. Where can I get information about bicycle rules and road safety? A. Bicycles on public roads have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists and are subject to the same rules and regulations. Information about bicycle rules and important safety tips are available by visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles website athttp://www.dmv. ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ ffdl37.htm. Since we’re on the topic of bicyclists, Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 1371, known as the Three Feet for Safety Act, which will require a motor vehicle driver passing a bicycle that is proceeding in the same direction to pass with no less than 3 feet between any part of the vehicle and any part of the bicycle or driver. When three feet is not possible, the motor vehicle must slow to a reasonable and prudent speed and only pass when no danger is present to the bicyclist. Failing to do so can incur a fine, regardless of a collision or not. This law will take effect September 16, 2014. 4. Q. I just received my driver license renewal notice in the mail.
The Newport News
Does it make any real difference if I mail my payment or renew online via the Internet? A. Congratulations on being eligible to renew by mail, internet or telephone! In order to renew by mail, you must complete the renewal notice and send a check or money order only payable to DMV in the amount due $33. Print your driver license number on the back of your check/money order. Renew early in order to receive your new license before your current driver license expires. Renewing by mail or online is also convenient, and therefore, it’s not necessary to visit a DMV office if you’re eligible to renew by mail, internet or by telephone. No additional fee is charged for renewing your driver license or identification card online. If you renew via Internet, you may receive your license up to 3 to 4 days sooner than regular mail processing. In addition, paying online diminishes the customer’s carbon footprint by going green, saving the cost of postage (as postage is going up to 49¢ for a First Class stamp, starting January 26th). Save Time, Go Online! Visit www.dmv.ca.gov or call 1-800-777-0133 for customer service. 5. Q. My father gave me his old car as a birthday present. Since it was a gift, do I still need to get a smog inspection? A. It depends. If you acquire a vehicle that is currently registered in California from a spouse, domestic partner, sibling, child, parent, grandparent or grandchild, you are entitled to an exemption from the smog inspection due when
transferring a vehicle, unless the vehicle is due for a biennial smog inspection because renewal fees are also due. Other family members or relations are not exempt and are required to obtain a smog inspection certification. For more information on the requirements of transferring a vehicle between family members, please visit www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/ brochures/howto/htvr1.htm. 6. Q. I just bought a boat. How do I know if it needs to be registered? A. In California, every sail powered vessel (boat) over eight feet in length and every motor driven vessel (regardless of length) that is not documented by the US Coast Guard and is used or on the waters of California are subject to be registered by the DMV. The vessel must be located in California. For detailed information on registering a vessel, please visit the following page on the California Department of Motor Vehicles web site: www.dmv.ca.gov/ boatsinfo/boatreg.htm. Save Time, Go Online!Doing business with the DMV has never been easier. The DMV offers an array of services to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through itsWebsite including online advance appointments for written and drive tests; vehicle registration and driver license renewals, selection of personalized license plates, changes of address and payment of fees via secure debit transactions. Customers can also effect transactions by calling DMV customer service at 1-800-7770133. DMV is a department under the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA).

When people think of whale watching, they often think of Alaska. However, we also have whale watching right here off the California coast. Harbor Breeze Cruises in Long Beach conducts whale watching cruises during the Grey Whale’s migration season. Grey Whales migrate to Baja California each year to give birth in warmer waters. The migration season lasts from midDecember to mid-April, giving you plenty of time to go see them. How Long Does a Whale Watching Cruise Last? The cruise took about two and a half hours to complete. There is roughly a 90% chance that during that time you’ll see at least one whale. On the trip I went on, we saw two whales. During that time, you’ll also take a brief cruise of the harbor and learn more about it. Once you are out into the Pacific Ocean, you’ll probably also see some sea birds, sea lions, and dolphins. How Close Do You Get to the Whales? Unfortunately, you can’t get too close to the whales without disturbing their migration. You’ll be back at least 100 yards away from the whales. On our cruise, we saw two whales blowing water and air. They also showed their tails a few times. We weren’t close enough to really get photos of the whales at all, although perhaps those who brought along telephoto lenses got a few shots. However, we did get very close to the dolphins and sea lions. The dolphins swam right out in front of the boat, showing off for the tourists. What Should I Wear?
For some reason, I hadn’t thought about this question before I went on the cruise. So now that I know what it was like, I’ll tell you how to be smarter than I was and dress properly. You should wear warm clothing and a windbreaker. Wear a hat and sunglasses too, or you’ll wind up with a headache like I did. I would also highly recommend sunscreen if you burn easily (like I do) or you will get sunburnt (like I did). I would also recommend wearing comfortable shoes that are easy to walk in. Even though the boat has non-skid decks, it’s a good idea to wear shoes that don’t slip easily. Does Anyone Get Sea Sick? On the cruise that I went on, I don’t think anyone suffered from sea sickness. However, I felt pretty sick when we were going slowly (and therefore rocking like crazy) so that we’d spot a whale. They don’t sell motion sickness medicine on the boat, so bring it if you think you’ll need it. They do however, sell snacks on the boat. The snacks really helped because the sea sickness feeling seemed to be much worse when I was
hungry. Even though the boat isn’t exactly small, there was considerable rocking. So How Much Does All This Cost? Adults pay $25 per person, seniors are $20 (you’re considered a senior if you’re over 62), children 11 and under are $15, and children 2 and under ride free. I would highly recommend carpooling there if you can, as parking is going to cost you $12 if you park in the parking structure next to the Long Beach Aquarium. So this isn’t exactly the most inexpensive trip you could take, but it’s something fun to experience at least once. Whale watching is a fun experience to try if you’re out near the California coast sometime. Even if you don’t see a whale, you’ll see other marine life. Bring your camera along as well so you can get some pictures of the harbor. I’d recommend a video camera if you want to remember the marine life however, as everything moves pretty fast. If you haven’t been whale watching before and can afford it, I’d highly recommend it!

‘Tis the Season ... for Whale Watching
Mighty Gray Whale is Making Its Annual Journey to Baja! If you have the fortune or necessity to find yourself in Southern California between late December and April, whale watching is a fun, inexpensive way to spend a morning or afternoon. There are many places that offer whale-watching cruises, and in this article I will tell you about some of them and why Southern California offers a unique place to whale watch. First, let’s look at why the whales are there to watch! The gray whale is one of the most majestic animals to swim the oceans of the world. Adults weigh in between 30 and 40 tons and can reach 46 feet in length. Traveling from 10 to 14 thousand miles, round trip, they make one of the longest migrations of any mammal in the world. They do this annually, traveling from their feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to their breeding grounds in the warm waters of Baja California, in Mexico. Because they travel close to the coastline, whale watchers get many opportunities to see their passage. The whale watch season in Southern California begins approximately at Christmas time and runs through the end of April. Whale watch cruises run daily through the entire season, and there are a number of marinas that conduct them. There are cruises conducted out of the Marina Del Rey marina, Redondo Beach marina, Newport Beach marina and the Long Beach marina on Rainbow Page 8
The Newport News
Harbor. These are just a few locations that offer whale watch cruises, and remember, the marinas themselves offer a wide variety of fun, familyoriented things to do. Taking a whale watch cruise is an event of a lifetime. The smell of the sea, the sounds of the water, and being on a small boat combines to make it an adventure that will be remembered forever. The cruises are inexpensive, usually between 15 to 25 dollars for adults with reduced fares for children and groups, and last for a few hours. Some cruises offer lecturers from the American Cetacean Society; knowledgeable educators who are there to narrate and answer any questions you may have about the gray whales you see. On your cruise, you are also likely to see a wide variety of other marine mammals, including dolphins, porpoises, and sea lions. The dolphins in particular are often very friendly as they are used to seeing your cruise ship and will even occasionally provide their own guided tour! In addition, you will have the chance to see many different species of water birds. Because of the time of year that tours are conducted, you will want to dress warmly, with rubber-soled shoes for traction on the boat deck. Remember, it’s winter, the Pacific is cold, and so is the wind! With that in mind, you will be prepared for a truly unique experience, cruising on a whale watch in Southern California!

Women of Chapman Charity Raises over $190,000 at Farewell to The Ritz Restaurant Luncheon Photos by Peggy O’Donnell and John Saade The Women of Chapman’s 27th Annual “Christmas at The Ritz” holiday luncheon was held at The Ritz Restaurant and Garden in Newport Beach. The late Hans Prager and his wife Charlene, a longtime WOC member, offered the restaurant for the fundraiser 27 years ago and continued doing so until they sold the restaurant. Now, Ritz’ Managing Partner Ray Jacobi has continued his support of the effort since; however, this is the final “Christmas at the Ritz” event as the restaurant will bid farewell to this location as The Ritz will be closing mid-February. The event featured greetings from an amazing Santa Claus, a quartet of Dickens carolers, a Champagne and martini patio reception, a hothot opportunity drawing, an informal fashion and jewelry presentation by Neiman Marcus, Fashion Island, and a tasty four-course lunch featuring the famous Ritz Egg, topped with caviar, of course! Event favors for the ladies were courtesy of Neiman Marcus. Each lady was given a lovely miniJay Strongwater enameled and jeweled frames to take home and the men received cigars. Women of Chapman, a women’s support group of Chapman University started in 1971. Now, with more than 240 strong, the group recently completed a $1 million Student Filmmaker Endowment, which funds senior film projects for Chapman’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts students, and pledged $500,000 to Dodge College’s Chapman Studios and $1 million to the university’s state-of-the-art Musco Center for the Arts which is due to open in late 2014. At the luncheon, it was announced that Orange County philanthropists Catherine and James Emmi of Corona del Mar made a transformational gift to Chapman University to support the university’s significant expansion in the sciences. The exact amount of the gift is confidential, but it is in excess of $10 million. The donation was announced by Chapman University President James L. Doti. Ph.D. President Doti expressed the university’s gratitude: “I can’t think of two people who are more committed to science and education, in all the varied facets of those fields. Jim Emmi’s passion for science and technology, and for engineering, in particular, inspired him to make this gift that will have an impact on so many students. Catherine is an educator through and through, and she understands the vital importance of the sciences in today’s higher education. Together, their vision and generosity will leave a lasting legacy that will benefit so many people – including the citizens of Orange County and the world who will gain from the knowledge and discoveries made by our researchers, students and alumni.” Other notables from Chapman who were there were, Bob Bassett (Dean of Dodge College of Film and Media Arts) and Dale Merrill (Dean of College of Performing Arts). Major underwriters were Marybelle & S. Paul Musco, Janet Curci, Sally Segerstrom (not present), Zee Allred, the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation (represented by its Executive Director Jacqueline Dorrance), Carole & Robert Follman, Rusty & Bill Hood, Shelly Wankier Hupp, Donna & David Janes, Joann Leatherby, Kim Smith and the Smith/Walker Foundation, Deedee & Don Sodaro, Laura Baratta, Donna S. Bianchi and Daniel Avidan, Sandra J. Brodie, Karly Brown, Donna Calvert, and Leslie & Dino Cancellieri. Consistently ranked among the top universities in the West, Chapman University provides a uniquely personalized and interdisciplinary educational experience to highly qualified students. Their programs encourage leadership in innovation, creativity and collaboration, and focus on developing global citizen-leaders who are distinctively prepared to improve their community and their world.

It is estimated that 95% of the population suffers from mechanical foot imbalances. These are primarily seen as over pronation of the feet. Pronation is where the feet/arches collapse or the ankles tend to fall inward. Abnormal pronation is certainly seen with all flat feet, but people with high arches can also have pronation problems. While the average person might not be able to identify abnormal pronation, one can look at the results of pronation and determine if these new orthotics could be of benefit to them. If you have any of these problems, you are a candidate for the new Perfect Posture orthotics.
This list encompasses about 95% of the U. S. population!
BUNIONS HAMMERTOES NEUROMAS HEEL SPUR OR PLANTAR FASCIITIS ACHILLES PROBLEMS KNEE, HIP OR BACK PAIN TIRED FEET OR LEGS AFTER ACTIVITIES
You may ask, “What is so new about these Perfect Posture arch supports?” These orthotics utilize a new casting method that puts the foot into its best position. When the cast is made, the mold is actually the shape of the new orthotic. The new casting process results in a full contact orthotic which supports your foot so that there is contact with all parts of the foot in its optimal position. Another improvement from the old technology is the orthotic device is made of material that is calibrated to YOUR weight. Utilizing this new material and process results in an orthotic which will act as a spring for your arch, as it will flex just the right amount when walking, standing or exercising based on your weight. Should you gain or lose 15% of your weight the orthotic should be recalibrated. For patients who will say I already have orthotics, this situation is analogous to having an old cellular phone. Yes you have a phone but you get so much more function and convenience with smart phones. So discard those old orthotics and come in! You’ll benefit from the latest advances - while you get the most out of your feet - and your life!

LADERA RANCH MOM IS FINALIST COMPETING FOR $1 MILLION GRAND PRIZE IN DORITOS COMMERCIALS
Fans Around the World Can Now Vote For The Best Ad From January 4 through January 29
Photo by Andrew Abajian From Cornfest to corn chips: Before becoming a mom, Amber Gill,competed in numerous pageantry competitions, becoming the Cornfest Queen of her local corn festival in the little town of Oakley, California, and being named “Miss Greater East Bay” for the Bay Area region of California. She even qualified for the Miss California pageant in 2001. Now, the mother of two boys has decided to go behind the camera to pursue her dreams of making it in Hollywood her ultimate dream to create a family-friendly movie. The vocal teacher based in Orange County, California entered the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest as her first foray into writing and producing, and now she’s already on the cusp of breaking through. “Cowboy Kid” was shot over two days in a residential area in Orange County California. Her husband David says the dog was the highest-paid actor on the set. Amber Gill, A Ladera Ranch mom of two boys ages 3 and 1, sees plenty of sibling competition and rivalry in her house every day. She wanted to capture this universal theme for her hysterically funny 30-second Doritos commercial where a little boy dressed as a cowboy rides a family dog like a horse and lasso’s a bag of Doritos away from his older brother. Selected from thousands of submissions representing 30 countries around the world, the Doritos brand today announced the five finalists for the Doritos “Crash the Super Bowl” contest who are vying for a $1 million (U.S.) grand prize. Fans are now invited to vote for the best ad on www.doritos. com from January 4 through January 29. Ultimately, two ads will air in front of a global television audience during Super Bowl XLVIII ,one selected by the world’s votes and one by the Doritos brand team. The two lucky winners will have the opportunity to work with Marvel Studios on the set of “Marvel’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and for the first time in Doritos Crash the Super Bowl history, the creator of the ad that receives the most fan votes will win a guaranteed $1 million in prize money. This marks the first year PepsiCo’s Doritos brand has opened its annual “Crash the Super Bowl” contest to fans from around the world where Doritos tortilla chips are sold. Visit www.doritos.com to view the ads and full contest rules. The five Crash the Super Bowl finalist ads are:
• “The Cowboy Kid” by Amber Gill, Ladera Ranch, California, United States • “Time Machine” by Ryan Andersen, Scottsdale, Arizona, United States • “Office Thief” by Chris Capel, Valencia, California, United States • “Breakroom Ostrich” by Eric Haviv, Atlanta, Georgia, United States • “Finger Cleaner” by Thomas Noakes, Sydney, Australia A qualified panel of judges, including executives from the Doritos brand, advertising professionals and the legendary Stan Lee of Pow! Entertainment , chairman emeritus of Marvel Comics and co-creator of such Super Heroes as Iron Man™, Spider-Man™ and others selected the five finalist ads. “As someone who has brought comic book characters to life for an entire career, I know what it takes to tell a great story,” Stan Lee said. “In just 30 seconds, these five finalists tell incredible stories , each with their own style ,and have left me truly blown away.” “When the Doritos brand first launched Crash the Super Bowl, the concept of user-generated content was brand new,” said Ram Krishnan, vice president of marketing, PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay division. “Since then, the amount of content created and shared on a global level has grown to an astounding rate. We were so excited by the global response to this year’s contest, and are thrilled to now spotlight two finalist ads on one of the world’s biggest advertising stages.” Each of the five Crash the Super Bowl finalists are invited to attend Super Bowl XLVIII in East Rutherford, N.J., and watch the game from a private luxury suite, where they will tune in to learn which two finalist spots will air. The creators of both winning ads will receive the opportunity to work on the set of “Marvel’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron” and the ad with the highest total number of votes will win its creator the $1 million grand prize. The runner-up will receive $50,000 (U.S.). The three finalists whose commercials don’t air during the broadcast will each win $25,000 (U.S.). The Super Bowl XLVIII broadcast is set for Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014, on FOX. As one of the leading snack brands in the world, Doritos has a presence in 46 countries and six continents. With flavors ranging from Nacho Cheese
and Cool Ranch to Sweet Chili Pepper and Tangy Cheese, the worldwide Doritos portfolio currently offers more than 70 unique varieties. PepsiCo’s relationship with the NFL is among the company’s longest-running and most-successful sports sponsorships. PepsiCo has leveraged its relationship with the NFL to connect with consumers throughout the season with activations spanning many of the company’s largest food and beverage brands, including Pepsi, Tostitos, Quaker, Doritos and Gatorade.Marvel Entertainment, LLC, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, is one of the world’s most prominent character-based entertainment companies, built on a proven library of more than 8,000 characters featured in a variety of media over seventy years.
