Resolve to Learn More about Wine in 2015 Have you always wanted to learn about wine? In 2015, consider expanding your knowledge of wine as a great New Year’s resolution. Christopher Silva, CEO of St. Francis Winery in Sonoma, CA, offers the following tips for wine newbies and enthusiasts alike to get started on getting to know wine better in 2015: • Join a club. A wine club, either through specifically one winery or company that features an international selection, is a great way to have a variety of hand-picked, quality wines delivered to your doorstep. Whether you decide to stick with one varietal or try many, a wine club can cater to your wishes or help you expand your horizons wisely. • Take notes. Sipping on some vino? Record your impressions of the flavors in a “wine diary.” Remember to clear your palate first with something neutral, such as crackers. You’ll know whether to revisit the wine in the future, as well as learn to become more mindful of what you’re drinking. • Seek variety. For a broad overview of wine, it’s important to become familiar with the major varietals, which for white wines include Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and for red wines, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfadel. Here are three new wines to try this year: Versatile as an aperitif or with a variety of seafood and light meats, St. Francis Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc 2013 is a refreshing vintage wine with a clean, crisp structure and aromas of citrus, kiwi and mango with a touch of lime. Next up, St. Francis Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 has a rich, complex flavor and body. The wine’s firm structure, generous tannins and depth of color complement classic aromas and flavors of black currant, cassis, dusty cocoa
and tobacco. This wine is an excellent companion to aged blue cheese, braised or grilled beef and roast pork with fruit. Looking for an American classic? Try Zinfandel and St. Francis Sonoma County Old Vines Zinfandel 2012, which is made from dry farmed old vines to ensure concentrated flavor. Aromas of boysenberry, clove and cinnamon are followed by flavors of mixed berries, red licorice, tobacco leaf and mulling spices. Pair with barbecued ribs and pasta Bolognese. • Travel. Go right to the source and consider
planning a trip to wine country. Many vineyards host tours, have tasting rooms and offer education programs. A winery is also a great place to find top notch wine pairings. For example, the St. Francis` Wine & Food Pairing program, awarded the “Number One Restaurant in America” by OpenTable, is a seated, multicourse pairing hosted by wine experts. Find out more at www. stfranciswinery.com. By resolving to explore the world of wine, you can make everything from casual weeknight meals to festive parties, more delicious in 2015. (StatePoint)

Measles Continues to Spread in Orange County Orange County now has sixteen confirmed cases of measles. Ten of the reported measles cases in Orange County, along with others throughout California and in other states, are connected to visiting Disneyland or Disneyland California Adventure Park in December. The source of the infection for the four most recent cases is not known; they were not exposed at Disneyland and had no known contact to any of the confirmed Disney-associated cases. The identification of four measles cases with acquisition from unknown community contacts indicates exposure to measles is more widespread throughout the county. The Health Care Agency expects that the measles outbreak will continue to spread, so all should be aware of the signs and symptoms of measles. Health officials remind the public that the best way to prevent the measles is by getting vaccinated. Measles is a highly contagious and potentially severe disease that causes fever, rash, cough, and red, watery eyes. Children too young to be immunized, pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems are at the greatest risk for severe illness. Measles spreads very Page 4
easily by air and by direct contact with an infected person. People are contagious from approximately four days before the rash appears through four days after the rash appears. Anyone suspecting they have measles should CALL their medical provider BEFORE arriving at the medical office to avoid exposing others to the measles virus. Protect Yourself and Family from Measles: • Children should receive their first
The Newport News
MMR vaccine at 12-15 months of age. The second dose of MMR is given at 4 to 6 years of age before going to school. • Vaccinating children, adolescents and adults is the best way to protect infants who are too young to receive the MMR vaccine. • Vaccinations are very safe. The benefits far outweigh any risks. Side effects are usually mild, such as soreness where the shot was given. • Measles is found in many parts
of the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Vaccination before traveling is recommended. • Measles vaccine is widely available in the community, and free and low-cost vaccinations are available. A complete list is available at www.ochealthinfo.com To learn more about measles, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the Orange County Health Care Agency.

Resolve to Adopt Cost-Cutting Shopping Habits in the New Year The start of the New Year is often a time for resolutions and improvements to your daily lifestyle. While many people vow to lose weight or take a big trip, others might focus on trying to save money in the year to come. There are some easy ways to start saving now and develop smart shopping habits for the remainder of 2015. Plan Weekly/Monthly Meals Instead of impulsively buying produce and other perishable items while grocery shopping, try to make a plan for all your meals that week or month. By only buying what you need, you can save money at the grocery store and limit the opportunity for food to go to waste. Private Brands Another simple way to save money this year is to make the switch to private or store brands. Many items can be purchased at a fraction of the name brand price, and there is often little or no difference in product quality. For instance, Dollar General offers many private brand items at affordable prices with a satisfaction
guarantee, which can help you to cut back on expenses without sacrificing quality. Digital Coupons You can score truly great deals by clipping coupons, but doing so can be a time consuming process.
New digital alternatives can make the process less painstaking. One example is Dollar General’s digital coupon program, which lets users create a profile where they can pin the coupons most relevant to them. You can have instant savings on your

Score a Tailgate Touchdown Are you ready for some football? The best thing about football, besides watching the game of course, is tailgating with delicious food and tasty drinks. So before settling in to watch your favorite team toss the pigskin, roll out some goodies that will score extra points with friends and family. These entertaining ideas from Wilton will ensure you don’t cause a delay of game by rushing and fumbling around your tailgate. Whether hosting fans at home or celebrating at the stadium, start by drafting a roster of easy-to-prepare snacks like chips and salsa or veggies with dip. Just make sure to have a yummy variety to hold ravenous receivers over until halftime. Now for the tailgate MVP: mini pulled pork sandwiches. This tiny take on a familiar favorite makes for perfect handoffs to your hungry crowd. Here’s the game plan: • Homemade pulled pork is easy. Just marinate pork shoulder in a spicy-sweet mustard mixture, then cook slowly until fork-tender. • While the pork cooks make homemade buns. The Wilton Whoopie Pie Pan makes perfect petite buns for the pork. Kick off the process
with frozen bread dough rolls and accent with a sprinkling of sesame seeds before baking. Assemble the sandwiches, or set out the fixings and fans can help themselves. Top off with pickles and pennant-shaped picks. • Run out the game clock with Chocolate Kicker Cereal Treats, a surefire way to bring your team to the end zone. For the football-shaped Chocolate Kicker Cereal Treats recipe and other tailgating ideas, visit www.wilton.com. Mini Pulled Pork Sandwiches For Pork: 1 onion, chopped 6 cloves garlic, peeled 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup ketchup 1/3 cup molasses 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons chili powder 2 teaspoons paprika 1 tablespoon salt 4 pounds pork shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat 1 quart water In bowl of food processor, combine
all ingredients except pork and water; process until smooth. Pour over pork shoulder, turning to coat on all sides. Marinate at least 3 hours or overnight. In large pot, mix pork, marinade and water. Bring to simmer over low heat. Cook covered 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until pork pulls apart easily with a fork, turning meat every half hour. Remove pork from pot; shred. Meanwhile, over high heat, reduce sauce by 2/3 or until slightly thickened. Pour over shredded pork and toss to coat. For Rolls: 12 frozen bread dough rolls, thawed according to package
directions 1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water 2 tablespoons sesame seeds Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare Whoopie Pie Pan with vegetable cooking spray. Place one thawed roll in each cavity; spray lightly with cooking spray and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit in a warm area 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Press down dough lightly to fill whoopie pie cavity. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake 1518 minutes or until light golden brown. Makes about 12 mini sandwiches.
State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson Seeks Sponsors for Summer Meal Sites State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today urged schools, camps, nonprofits, Indian tribal governments, and government offices to become Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sponsors, so they can provide free meals to underprivileged children. “Low-income children often don’t have access to nutritious school meals during the summer break, which can cause them to lag behind academically when classes start up again in the fall,” said Torlakson. “We need to sign up as many sponsors as possible to provide free meals, so no child will go hungry this summer.” Under SFSP, sponsors are reimbursed for the number of meals served that meet federal meal pattern requirements. Sponsors may also use the funds for operating and administrative costs. The meal sites must be located in areas where at least half the students are low income. The meal sites start operating 15 days after school ends for summer break or when year-round schools are off track. Families can go to any meal site and their children will receive free meals—no questions asked and no income verification is needed.
Many meal sites may also offer fun activities for children. The California Department of Education (CDE) administers the program in the state for the U.S. Department of Agriculture that is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
To apply before the June 1, 2015 deadline and to receive training, visit the CDE’s Summer Food Service Program Information - Summer Food Service Web page, call 1-800-9525609, or email sfsp@cde.ca.gov. For tips on how to run successful meal
sites, visit the California Summer Meal Coalition Web site. The CDE will update its Summer Meal Service Sites interactive Web map early this summer to help families locate meal sites or sponsors close to their homes.

Cinderella, Opera for Kids! - Pacific Symphony Rossini’s sparkling and humorous operatic retelling of the timeless rags-to-riches tale “Cinderella” is brought to life by Pacific Symphony as part of Family Musical Mornings, presented by Farmers and Merchants Bank. “Cinderella: Opera for Kids!” is an enchanting romantic comedy filled with toe-tapping tunes, colorful characters and splendid orchestration. As part of the Symphony’s operavocal initiative―which includes Bizet’s “Carmen” in February as part of the Classical series―this 45-minute adaptation of Rossini’s “La Cenerentola” is designed to introduce children to the world of opera and the beautiful and powerful instrument of the voice. Led by Assistant Conductor Alejandro Gutiérrez, the orchestra and singers tell the tale of Cinderella, a kindhearted girl living in her stepmother’s castle who longs to escape the cruelty of her vain stepsisters. When the prince announces that he will choose his bride at a glamorous ball, Cinderella seizes the opportunity to take control of her destiny. Complete with all of the enchanting elements that are familiar Page 8
to children and families, Cinderella, with the help of her mice friends, rides to the ball in a magical carriage and leaves her glass slipper for the prince to find. “Cinderella: Opera for Kids!” takes place Saturday, Jan. 31 at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets are $20-45 and include a Musical Carnival before or after the show (more below). For more information or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or visit www. PacificSymphony.org.

The Dream Guild of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Holiday Luncheon Raises $44,000 Carolyn Ausman, James Cueva with Ashley Duva The Orange County chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or JDRF, with generous support from Gucci, hosted a three course lunch with wine pairings at South Coast Plaza’s Charlie Palmer which raised more than $44,000 in support the Orange County chapter of JDRF. The event was chaired by Jennifer Condas and Christina Ferguson. After welcoming the crowd, Dream Guild President Pamela Lowry introduced the Yule T1De Girls, Caroline Brewster and Katherine Hellmers. They spoke about their journey meeting each other, both living with T1D – and how they came to the idea of selling mistletoe. They were cute as button and told everyone the money they raise is to support research to “Kiss Diabetes Goodbye”. The T1D in the way they spell YuleT1De stands for T1D (type one diabetes). Guests were able to peruse the silent auctions pieces which included Saint Laurent and Nancy Gonzales handbags, the ultimate birthday party at TopShop LA, and a $2,500 shopping trip to Oscar del la Renta. Opportunity tickets were also sold for the many items up for grabs. During lunch, James Cueva, Store Director for Jaeger-LeCoultre helped announce 2014 Committee: Dream Guild President, Pamela Lowry, Jodi Salerno, the winners and each time he did, it was apparent that joy and excitement Co-Chair Christina Jenkins, Co-Chair Jennifer Condas, Beth Bidna were in the air! Roughly 50 items were included in the Opportunity Drawing which of course got many squeals and cheers from the winning ticket holders. Items that some lucky winners walked home with were award winning wines, the Dream Guild Champagne baskets, designer fashion items, South Coast Plaza shopping sprees, beauty products, fashions, dining experiences, and more. The highlight Opportunity Drawing was the GUICCI bright diamante yellow leather luggage set was won by Yvonne Moyano. Lunch at Charlie Palmer’s at Bloomingdale’s South Coast Plaza included for starters a Market Green Salad with fresh saved apple, baby tomato, pistachio, oregano vinaigrette. The main course was a choice of either Mary’s Farm Chicken with wild mushroom risotto with poultry jus or a Grilled Salmon with Meyer lemon caper vinaigrette, Brussel sprouts with fingerling potatoes (I picked the Grilled Salmon – YUM!). Delectable desserts included a Trio of Dessert: tiramisu parfait, blood orange gelato, panna cotta with seasonal berries and of course wine and champagne flowed throughout with Buvet Rose, Grand Ballon, and Trios Voylles Cab being the beverage of choice. Yule T1De Girls Caroline Brewster and Katherine Hellmers The mission of the Dream Guild is to build a friendly, cohesive group of women who will help increase JDRF’s presence in the community through exciting and fun events to help raise funds to cure diabetes. The Dream Guild is a membership organization whose annual signature event include the Holiday Luncheon and Spring Fling membership event in May. JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. JDRF’s goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners and is the only organization with the scientific resources, regulatory influence, and a working plan to better treat, prevent, and eventually cure T1D. As the largest charitable supporter of T1D research, JDRF is currently sponsoring $530 million in scientific research in 17 countries. In 2012 alone, JDRF provided more than $110 million to T1D research. More than 80 percent of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and researchrelated education. In 2012 Forbes magazine named JDRF one of its five All-Star charities, citing the organization’s efficiency and effectiveness.

How to Get a Part-Time Job as an NFL Cheerleader Break into the World of Professional Cheerleading
Many a young boy and his parents dream of him playing professional football one day, but how many parents plan on their daughter becoming a professional cheerleader for an NFL team? NFL cheerleaders get to tour the country and be famous too. On a TV show following the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader training camp, you can see that the NFL cheerleaders are also taught correct etiquette, poise, and even have to learn a little grammar. In addition, being a professional cheerleader is only a part-time job, so you can hold another job, go to school, or even be a mother at the same time. In fact, the Washington Redskins requires that you have a full- or part-time job, are attending college, or have a family in order to audition, emphasizing that this is a part-time job. Finding an Audition Find a team holding cheerleading auditions near you and register. You can find out about this by picking a team that plays near you, and searching for their cheerleading squad’s website online. You must be at least 18 years old to be accepted to an audition with the Dallas Cowboys, but 21 to audition for the Carolina Panthers. Most teams require that candidates have a high school diploma or GED. The auditions will take up several days, especially if you do well and progress through each round to the next. Keep this in mind when scheduling. Audition dates for NFL cheerleaders vary from squad to squad. The Dallas Cowboys

Cheerleaders hold their auditions in April, while the New England Patriots Cheerleaders have auditions at the end of March. Looking the Part The Dallas Cowboys cheerleading website claims that they do not have specific height and weight requirements to try out, but that the woman’s body should “look well-proportioned in dancewear.” An advertisement for the New England Patriots cheerleader try-outs specifies that they do have set requirements for height and weight. On the TV show about their training camp, however, they kicked off girls who did not photograph well, and took it upon themselves to fix hair and make-up style as they saw fit. You may have all the dance and cheerleading skills they could hope for, but if you don’t fit the image of a professional cheerleader, you don’t have a chance. What they’re looking for Dancing Talent Practice those high kicks and splits-these are some of the essential skills needed for become an NFL cheerleader. You also need to be able to pick up a new routine pretty quickly, as learning and performing one will probably be part of the audition. Most of the cheerleading squads are more dancing than the traditional cheerleader tumbling. However, some try-outs offer optional tumbling auditions if you do have these skills and want to show them off.
The Newport News
If you have the time and money, invest in some dance classes. The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders offer classes to “prep” for their auditions. This may give you an advantage during auditions. What they’re looking for Personality Most auditions include some form of personal interview. Of course, how well you look and dance is probably far more important than this, but don’t take it lightly. NFL Cheerleaders are exposed to a lot of press, have to meet children and fans, and represent the team well. They have to make sure that their cheerleaders can present themselves well when talking to the public, and won’t pull any crazy stunts that will get bad press. They also want someone who will be easy to work with. So here, watch your manners and be nice! After Auditions - You’re not in yet After auditions, the candidate field is narrowed down. These lucky ones will go on to training camp, but more will need to be cut. The few weeks of training camp allows the judges to get to know the women’s personalities and dancing style better, and see who the best fit for the team is. If you get cut during this round, don’t get down! If you made it that far, you have some talent, and you probably got some feedback. If you still dream of being an NFL cheerleader, listen to that feedback, work on improving, and head out to the next auditions!

Governor Brown Sworn In, Delivers Inaugural Address
Govenor Jerry Brown Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. took the oath of office as Governor of California and delivered his inaugural address in the Assembly Chamber. The address serves as the Governor’s constitutionally required annual report to the Legislature. Members of the Legislature, the Judiciary, Constitutional Officers, the extended family of my pioneering ancestors and fellow Californians: An inauguration is always a special occasion but today it is particularly special as I think about that day 40 years ago when my father and mother watched me take the oath as California’s 34th governor. It is also special because of how far we have come in the last four years. Then, the state was deep in debt $26 billion and our unemployment rate was 12.1 percent. Now, the state budget, after a decade of fiscal turbulence, is finally balanced more precariously than I would like but balanced. California has seen more than 1.3 million new jobs created in just four years and the unemployment rate has dropped to 7.2 percent. Thanks goes to the Legislature for cutting spending, the economy for recovering and the people for voting for temporary taxes. We also have the people to thank for Propositions 1 and 2, which save water and money and prepare us for an uncertain future. These are measures that nearly every Democrat and Republican voted to put on the ballot and nearly 70 percent of voters ultimately approved. And I’m proud to report that as a result, by the end of the year, we will be investing in long overdue water projects and saving $2.8 billion in the state’s new constitutionally protected Rainy Day Fund. And we’re not stopping there. Soon we will make the last payment on the
$15 billion of borrowing made to cover budget deficits dating back to 2002. We will also repay a billion dollars borrowed from schools and community colleges and another $533 million owed to local governments. California has made bold commitments to sustain our environment, help the neediest and build for our future. We are leaders in renewable energy and efficiency; we have extended health care to millions; we are transforming our educational and criminal justice systems; we are building the nation’s only high-speed rail system; we raised the minimum wage; we are confronting the drought and longer-term water issues; and last, but not least, we have enacted real protections for our hardworking immigrants, including the issuance of long-awaited driver’s licenses. In 2011, we were handed a mess and through solid, steady work, we turned it around. While we have not reached the Promised Land, we have much to be proud of. As I embark upon this unprecedented fourth term as governor, my thoughts turn to a time long ago when I first entered this chamber, January 5, 1959, for my father’s inauguration. I sat there in front of the rostrum, next to my 81-yearold grandmother, Ida Schuckman Brown, feeling awkward in my priestly black suit and Roman collar. My perspective was different then. The previous August, as a young Jesuit living in what was then a pre-Vatican II seminary, I had taken vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. To me, the boisterous crowd, the applause, the worldliness of it all was jarring. That was 56 years ago, yet the issues that my father raised at his inauguration bear eerie resemblance to those we still grapple with today: discrimination; the
quality of education and the challenge of recruiting and training teachers; the menace of air pollution, and its danger to our health; a realistic water program; economic development; consumer protection; and overcrowded prisons. So you see, these problems, they never completely go away. They remain to challenge and elicit the best from us. To that end, over the next four years and beyond we must dedicate ourselves to making what we have done work, to seeing that the massive changes in education, health care and public safety are actually carried out and endure. The financial promises we have already made must be confronted honestly so that they are properly funded. The health of our state depends on it. Educating the next generation is fundamental to our collective well-being. An issue that has plagued our schools for decades is the enormous barrier facing children from low-income families. When my father was governor, he sought to remedy the wide inequities among different school districts by calling for equalization of funding. His efforts were not successful. Now decades later we have finally created a much fairer system of school funding, called the Local Control Funding Formula. Under the provisions of this law, state funds are directed to school districts based on the needs of their students. Districts will get significantly more funds based on the number of students from foster care, low-income families and non-English-speaking parents. This program also breaks with decades of increasing centralization by reducing state control in favor of local flexibility. Clear goals are set, and their enforcement is entrusted to parents and local officials. This puts California in the forefront of educational reform. After years of underfunding and even borrowing from our local schools, the state now has significantly increased its financial support for education. Next year schools will receive $65.7 billion, a 39 percent increase in four years. The tasks ahead are daunting: making sure that the new system of local control works; recruiting and training tens of thousands of teachers; mastering the Common Core Curriculum; and fostering the creativity needed to inspire students. Teachers need to be held accountable but never forget: they have a tough job to do. They need our encouragement, not endless regulations and micromanagement from afar. With respect to education beyond high school, California is blessed with a rich and diverse system. Its many elements serve a vast diversity of talents and interests. While excellence is their business, affordability and timely completion is their imperative. As I’ve
said before, I will not make the students of California the default financiers of our colleges and universities. To meet our goals, everyone has to do their part: the state, the students and the professors. Each separate institution cannot be all things to all people, but the system in its breadth and diversity, through real cooperation among its segments, can well provide what Californians need and desire. Along with education, health and human services constitute a major part of what state government does. And in the past few years we have made massive commitments in this area, which will require increasing levels of spending, the full extent of which is not yet known. For example, two years ago California embraced the Affordable Care Act, dramatically increasing its health insurance coverage under the Medi-Cal program. The state will enroll 12.2 million people during this new budget year, a more than 50 percent increase. Providing the security of health coverage to so many Californians who need it is the right thing to do. But it isn’t free. Although the federal government will temporarily foot much of the bill, new state costs now and more so in the future will run into the billions. Another major state responsibility is our system of crime and punishment. And here too, I will refer to my father’s 1959 address. He worried then about California’s “dangerously overcrowded prisons.” He talked about identifying “those prisoners who should never be released to prey again on an innocent public,” but he also said, “we should also determine whether some prisoners are now kept confined after punishment has served its purpose.” We face these same questions today: what purposes should punishment serve and for how long should a person be confined to jail or prison for a few days, a few years or for life? In response to a large increase in crimes beginning in the 1970s, the Legislature and the people through ballot initiatives dramatically lengthened sentences and added a host of new crimes and penalty enhancements. Today, California’s legal codes contain more than 5,000 separate criminal provisions and over 400 penalty enhancements, an arcane and complex mix that only the most exquisitely trained specialist can fathom. And funding has grown proportionately: during the 1970s we had 12 prisons holding fewer than 30,000 prisoners and corrections spending was only 3 percent of the budget; our system then grew to a peak of 34 prisons, with an inmate population of 173,000, eating up more than 10 percent of our budget dollars.

Governor Brown Sworn In, Delivers Inaugural Address
Govenor Jerry Brown Continued from page 15. Four years ago, the United States Supreme Court held that our prisons were unconstitutionally overcrowded and imposed strict capacity limits, far below the number of inmates that were then being held. Clearly, our system of crime and punishment had to be changed. And through the courts, the Legislature and the voters themselves, a number of far-reaching reforms have been enacted. The biggest reform is our realignment program, which places tens of thousands of lower-level offenders under county supervision. More recently, a federal three-judge panel ordered further measures to reduce prison overcrowding. And the voters, through Propositions 36 and 47, modified our criminal laws to reduce the scope of the Three Strikes law and change certain felonies into misdemeanors. All these changes attempt to find less expensive, more compassionate and more effective ways to deal with crime. This is work that is as profoundly important as it is difficult, yet we must never cease in our efforts to assure liberty and justice for all. The task is complicated by our diversity and our divisions and, yes, by shocking disparities. Since time immemorial, humankind has known covetousness, envy and violence. That is why public safety and respect for law are both fundamental to a free society. As we oversee these important changes to education, health care and public safety, we must not lose sight of our long-term liabilities. We have to face honestly the enormous and ever growing burden of the many commitments we have already made. Among these are the costs of pensions and retiree health care, the new obligations under the Affordable Care Act, the growing government costs of dealing with our aging population, bonded indebtedness and the deferred maintenance on our roads and other Page 16
infrastructure. These specific liabilities reach into the hundreds of billions of dollars. My plan has been to take them on one at a time. We have now taken steps to deal with the unfunded teachers’ pensions and those of the public employees. For the next effort, I intend to ask our state employees to help start pre-funding our retiree health obligations which are rising rapidly. We must also deal with longstanding infrastructure challenges. We are finally grappling with the long-term sustainability of our water supply through the recently passed Proposition 1 and our California Water Action Plan. Equally important is having the roads, highways and bridges in good enough shape to get people and commerce to where they need to go. It is estimated that our state has accumulated $59 billion in needed upkeep and maintenance. Each year, we fall further and further behind and we must do something about it. So I am calling on Republicans and Democrats alike to come together and tackle this challenge. We came together on water when many said it was impossible. We came together – unanimously – to create a solid Rainy Day Fund. We can do it again. Finally, neither California nor indeed the world itself can ignore the growing assault on the very systems of nature on which human beings and other forms of life depend. Edward O. Wilson, one of the world’s preeminent biologists and naturalists, offered this sobering thought: “Surely one moral precept we can agree on is to stop destroying our birthplace, the only home humanity will ever have. The evidence for climate warming, with industrial pollution as the principal cause, is now overwhelming. Also evident upon even casual inspection is the rapid disappearance of tropical forests and grasslands and other habitats where most of the diversity of life exists.” With these global changes,
The Newport News
he went on to say, “we are needlessly turning the gold we inherited from our forebears into straw, and for that we will be despised by our descendants.” California has the most far-reaching environmental laws of any state and the most integrated policy to deal with climate change of any political jurisdiction in the Western Hemisphere. Under laws that you have enacted, we are on track to meet our 2020 goal of onethird of our electricity from renewable energy. We lead the nation in energy efficiency, cleaner cars and energy storage. Recently, both the SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations and the President of the World Bank made clear that properly pricing carbon is a key strategy. California’s cap-and-trade system fashioned under AB 32 is doing just that and showing how the market itself can generate the innovations we need. Beyond this, California is forging agreements with other states and nations so that we do not stand alone in advancing these climate objectives. These efforts, impressive though they are, are not enough. The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, backed up by the vast majority of the world’s scientists, has set an ambitious goal of limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius by the year 2050 through drastic reductions of greenhouse gases. If we have any chance at all of achieving that, California, as it does in many areas, must show the way. We must demonstrate that reducing carbon is compatible with an abundant economy and human well-being. So far, we have been able to do that. In fact, we are well on our way to meeting our AB 32 goal of reducing carbon pollution and limiting the emissions of heat-trapping gases to 431 million tons by 2020. But now, it is time to establish our next set of objectives for 2030 and beyond. Toward that end, I propose three ambitious goals to be accomplished within the next 15 years: 1. Increase from one-third to 50 percent our electricity derived from renewable sources; 2. Reduce today’s petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50 percent; 3. Double the efficiency of existing buildings and make heating fuels cleaner. We must also reduce the relentless release of methane, black carbon and other potent pollutants across industries. And we must manage farm and rangelands, forests and wetlands so they can store carbon. All of this is a very tall order. It means that we continue to transform our electrical grid, our transportation system and even our communities. I envision a wide range of initiatives: more distributed power, expanded
rooftop solar, micro-grids, an energy imbalance market, battery storage, the full integration of information technology and electrical distribution and millions of electric and low-carbon vehicles. How we achieve these goals and at what pace will take great thought and imagination mixed with pragmatic caution. It will require enormous innovation, research and investment. And we will need active collaboration at every stage with our scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, businesses and officials at all levels. Taking significant amounts of carbon out of our economy without harming its vibrancy is exactly the sort of challenge at which California excels. This is exciting, it is bold and it is absolutely necessary if we are to have any chance of stopping potentially catastrophic changes to our climate system. California, since the beginning, has undertaken big tasks and entertained big ideas. Befitting a state of dreamers, builders and immigrants, we have not hesitated to attempt what our detractors have called impossible or foolish. In the last four years, in the last 40 years, yes ever since Gaspar de Portola in 1769 marched along the King’s Highway, California has met adversity with faith and courage. We have had setbacks and failures, but always in the end, the indomitable spirit of California has triumphed. Through it all, through good times and bad, California has been blessed with a dynamism and historic trajectory that carries each generation forward. Whether the early explorers came for gold or God, came they did. The rest is history: the founding of the Missions, the devastation of the native people, the discovery of gold, the coming of the FortyNiners, the Transcontinental Railroad, the founding of great universities, the planting and harvesting of our vast fields, oil production, movies, the aircraft industry, the first freeways, the State Water Project, aerospace, Silicon Valley and endless new companies and Nobel Prizes. This is California. And we are her sons and daughters. Yes, California feeds on change and great undertakings, but the path of wisdom counsels us to ground ourselves and nurture carefully all that we have started. We must build on rock, not sand, so that when the storms come, our house stands. We are at a crossroads. With big and important new programs now launched and the budget carefully balanced, the challenge is to build for the future, not steal from it, to live within our means and to keep California ever golden and creative, as our forebears have shown and our descendants would expect.

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 714-573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 0125001474. 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. This property which is subject to this Notice of Sale does not fall within the purview of California Civil Code Section 2923.5.
