Americans Victorious in IndyCar’s Return to SoCal

By Lynn Brown Photos by Bill Casper The Izod IndyCar Series celebrated its season finale Saturday night in Southern California. The celebration included the crowning of an American race winner and an American series champion. It was a fitting end to a season of change for the series, and a drastic change from a year ago, when the season ended in a state of shock after Dan Weldon was killed in a horrific accident that halted the Las Vegas finale.

The MAVTV 500 was run under the lights at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. At the start of the race, Ryan Hunter-Reay trailed Will Power by 17 points, leaving Power in control of the championship fight. When Power lost control of his car and slid into the wall on Lap 55, the door to the championship opened and Hunter-Reay drove through it. Over the next 195 laps, Hunter-Reay worked his way from 12th to 4th, winning the championship by a mere 3 points. Afterwards, Hunter-Reay said, “I have no idea (how I won this championship). This hasn’t sunk in yet. I just drove 500 miles for my life. I can’t believe we’re IndyCar champions.” A former Dana Point resident, Hunter-Reay is the first American to win the IndyCar champion since Sam Hornish, Jr., accomplished the feat in 2006.

Ed Carpenter, another American, was the race winner. After running near the front all night, he made a bid for the lead on a restart with 6 laps to go.

Unable to get by leader Dario Franchitti, Carpenter settled into the high groove and began eating into Franchitti’s lead. Crossing the line to start the last lap, Carpenter was close enough to get a bit of a draft and slip past Franchitti in Turn. A crash behind the leaders brought out the caution flag, assuring Carpenter of the victory. The victory was Carpenter’s second as a driver and his first as a team owner, having started his own team of Ed Carpenter Racing this season. Said Carpenter, “This feels great for a brand new team that just started in November. We have been trying to win ovals all year and finally got it done tonight. A good way to end the year.”

The 2012 season started with the unveiling of a new car, designated the DW12 in honor of Weldon, who had been the test driver during the car’s development phase. The car’s design is unconventional, with large sidepods and rear caps that help prevent wheel-to-wheel contact that often sends cars airborne. While fans were split on whether or not they liked the look of the new car, they were generally pleased with the quality of the racing the new car produced.

Another change for 2012 was the introduction of multiple engine manufacturers, with Chevrolet and Lotus joining Honda as engine suppliers. Although the Lotus engine proved to be underpowered and plagued with problems all season, the acceleration of the Chevrolet engine versus the top-end speed of the Honda engine contributed to the quality of the racing throughout the 15-race schedule.

The National Charity League, Inc., Canyon Chapter at the Susan G. Komen Orange County Race for the Cure NCL, Inc., Canyon Chapter Membership Drive is going on now!

Sunday, September 23, 2012 was the 21st annual Susan G. Komen Orange County Race for the Cure. The race is a worldrenowned education and fundraising event for breast cancer. The goal of Komen is to put an end to breast cancer. The event raised $2,071,763 and the money is still coming in. More than 18,000 registered participants, 1,300 volunteers, and over 1,300 breast cancer survivors and their families participated in the race. National Charity League, Inc. Canyon Chapter was honored to serve this cause by preparing the roses for the survivor ceremony, as well as working in several areas during the event, including monitoring the race course, working food service at the finish line, serving in the survivor pavilion, cleanup and most importantly I AM THE CURE. In the I AM THE CURE AREA, mother / daughter teams from the NCL, Inc. Canyon Chapter walked the expo area asking questions to participants about breast cancer health and awareness. The Chapter had over 41 mother/daughter teams volunteering at the event before sunrise. Along with being an NCL, Inc. supported event, it was meaningful to members to serve not only as survivors themselves but also in the name of loved ones in the Chapter and relatives around the world that fight breast cancer.

If you are interested in joining the National Charity League, Canyon Chapter, the membership drive begins in September and applications are being accepted for girls graduating in years 20172019 until mid-December. Mothers and daughters join as a “class” based on their daughter’s grade level. National Charity League, Inc. is a sponsorship organization, which means a prospective member needs to be sponsored by a current member of the Chapter.

10 year survivor Stephanie Sandell and her daughter Kaitlin Sandell prepare roses for breast cancer survivors.

Money-saving open enrollment tips

By Jason Alderman Over the next few weeks, millions of Americans will receive their 2013 open enrollment materials. Although it’s tempting to simply check “same as last year,” that can be a costly mistake – especially if your employer is offering different benefit plans next year or your family or income situation has changed.

Plus, an important feature of health care flexible spending accounts, which many people use to reduce their tax bite, is changing next year (more on that below).

Here’s what to look for when reviewing your benefit options: Many benefit plans – especially medical – change coverage details from year to year. If you’re offered more than one plan, compare features side by side (including plans offered by your spouse’s employer) to ensure you’re choosing the best alternative. Common changes include: Dropping or replacing unpopular Page 4

or overly expensive plans.

Increased monthly premiums for employee and/or dependent coverage.

Increased deductible and/or copayment amounts for doctor visits, prescription drugs, hospitalization, dental or vision benefits, etc.

Revised drug formularies.

Doctors and hospitals sometimes withdraw from a plan’s preferred provider network.

Raising maximum yearly out-ofpocket expense limits.

If offered by your employer, health care and dependent care flexible spending accounts (FSAs) can significantly offset the financial impact of medical and dependent care by letting you pay for eligible out-ofpocket expenses on a pre-tax basis; that is, before federal, state and Social Security taxes are deducted from your paycheck. This reduces your taxable income and therefore, your taxes.

You can use a health care FSA to pay for IRS-allowed medical expenses not covered by your medical, dental or vision plans. Check IRS Publication 502 at www.irs.gov for allowable expenses. Dependent care FSAs let you use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses related to

The Newport News

care for your child, spouse, parent or other dependent incapable of self-care.

Here’s how FSAs work: Say you earn $42,000 a year.

If you contribute $1,000 to a health care FSA and $3,000 for dependent care, your taxable income would be reduced to $38,000. Your resulting net income, after taxes, would be roughly $1,600 more than if you had paid for those expenses on an after-tax basis.

Keep in mind these FSA restrictions: Important: Effective January 1, 2013, employee contributions to health care FSAs are now limited to $2,500 a year; however, if your spouse has FSAs at work, you still may contribute up to $2,500 to each account.

The dependent care FSA limit remains unchanged at $5,000.

Health care and dependent care account contributions are not interchangeable.

Estimate planned expenses carefully because you must forfeit unused account balances. Some employers offer a grace period of up to 2 ½ months after the end of

the plan year to incur expenses, but that’s not mandatory, so review your enrollment materials.

Outside of open enrollment, you can only make mid-year FSA changes after a major life or family status change, such as marriage, divorce, death of a spouse or dependent, birth or adoption of a child, or a dependent passing the eligibility age. If one of those situations occurs mid-year, re-jigger your FSAs accordingly for maximum savings.

You must re-enroll in FSAs each year – amounts don’t carry over from year to year.

Also remember that if you marry, divorce, or gain or lose dependents, it could impact the type – and cost – of your coverage options.

Legal Advertising: The Newport News was adjudicated by the Orange County Superior Court as a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code 6000 case #A187752 on July 15, 1997 and as such is the appropriate newspaper to place legal and public notices for the South Orange County Judicial District including Balboa, Newport Coast, Corona del Mar and the City of Newport Beach, California.

More than 800 infrastructure, business and elected leaders participated in the state’s largest one-day transportation conference last Friday to seek ways to break traffic gridlock in Southern California.

On the eve of the full closure of the San Diego Freeway (I-405) in Los Angeles County last weekend, OCTA Chairman Paul Glaab joined U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) and other leaders from across the region to advocate for steps to overcome the threat of permanent Carmageddon: “We are all in this together,” said Glaab, a Laguna Niguel mayor and Metrolink board member. “That’s why we’re asking the public to help Mobility 21 carry out these five steps by voicing their support of transportation to their elected leaders. Together, we can break through the gridlock and avoid permanent Carmageddon.”

In an era of dwindling state and federal resources, 74 percent of the money for Southern California’s transportation projects is raised locally, predominantly through sales tax measures. During the press event, local officials emphasized the importance of local funding.

Keynote speaker Jonathan Tisch, chairman of Loews Hotels and an owner of the New York Giants, shared his perspective on the need for publicprivate partnerships to secure muchneeded investments in transportation.

The 11th annual Mobility 21 Summit brought together advocates from public and private sectors along with

elected officials to support investing in all modes of transportation to keep Southern California’s 21 million residents moving.

“As our transportation network ages and our population grows, we have to work together to keep us out of gridlock traffic, maintain our global competitiveness and help our businesses grow,” said Gary Toebben, chairman of Mobility 21 and president & CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. “We want Southern Californians to work together to shape a sustainable transportation future. That’s why we have launched our mobile website to make it even easier for residents to support transportation improvements in our region.”

Mobility 21 launched a transportation advocacy mobile web application at the conference, urging the public to share feedback with elected leaders to improve transportation in Southern California.

“Orange County’s leadership role in California is strong,” OCTA CEO Will Kempton said. “From eliminating process barriers to our accelerated Measure M half-cent sales tax program, we are successfully delivering projects faster and at substantial cost savings for our taxpayers. OCTA’s 91 Express Lanes is a national model for toll road operations, and we’re exploring other ways to deliver significant travel improvements to maximize public investments.”

“When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished.”

What he does after that is all in the line of work.”

Bubbles For Any Occasion

HAPPY GRAPES

By David White On Saturday morning, a friend called to seek my advice on that evening’s dinner.

“My boyfriend and I are making poached salmon with truffles and shrimp in a cream sauce,” she said. “What type of wine should we drink?”

I could see her conundrum. Salmon and shrimp suggest a dry, refreshing white. But a cream sauce could bludgeon a delicate wine. And anything red - even something soft and light, like a Pinot Noir - probably wouldn’t complement the dish.

That’s why the answer was simple.

“Just go with Champagne,” I answered. “It’ll work perfectly.”

Later that evening, my friend confirmed that the wine was an ideal match.

“Plus,” she said, “It was fun to drink Champagne with dinner, just like real wine.”

Indeed.

Year after year, France’s big Champagne houses spend millions trying to convince us that Champagne is best enjoyed when celebrating. That might be true -- after all, wine shops see a huge spike in sales around New Year’s and Valentine’s Day, and it is fun to drink Champagne on a special occasion.

But Champagne and other sparkling wines deserve a spot at the dinner table all year long. Most sparklers are characterized by vibrant acidity and freshness, which help them cut through spicy meals, complement savory food, and elevate even the simplest of dishes.

Real Champagne is quite pricey, obviously. Under European Union trade laws, wine can only be sold as “Champagne” if it comes from the Champagne region of France and is made in accordance with a number of regulations. Most notably, Champagne must be made in the “traditional method” -- an expensive, multistep process -- and produced, generally, from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Consequently, even “budget” options cost about $40 per bottle.

Fortunately, there are plenty of affordable sparkling wines from regions outside Champagne.

Within France, sparkling wines labeled as “Cremant” are produced using the traditional method and winemakers must follow a number of strict rules.

Sparkling wines from Burgundy -- called Cremant de Bourgogne -- have long offered exceptional value. Because the region grows the same grape varieties as Champagne, top examples can often pass for the real thing. And they’re typically just a fraction of the cost -- many can be found for less than $20.

In the United States, wines labeled as “Methode Champenoise” are also produced in the traditional method using the same grape varieties as Champagne.

For about $25, it’s hard to beat the entry level bottlings from Domaine Carneros, Roederer Estate, and Argyle.

For less than $15, Cava -- a sparkling wine from Spain that’s produced like Champagne but using native Spanish grapes -- is the best option.

Of course, nothing beats the real thing.

And fortunately for American consumers, there’s never been a better time to explore Champagne.

For years, the American market has been dominated by large producers like Moet & Chandon, Piper Heidsieck, and Veuve Clicquot. These companies purchase their grapes from growers across Champagne and blend their wines to deliver a consistent, high quality product year after year.

In recent years, however, wine enthusiasts have gone gaga over “Grower Champagne,” or wines made by the

since 1907

farmers who grow the grapes.

Just as we understand why an apple grown in Virginia tastes different from an apple grown in Massachusetts, we understand why a Chardonnay produced in Sonoma tastes different from a Chardonnay produced in Napa. Champagne is no different. And Grower Champagne conveys a sense of place -- something that large producers simply can’t offer.

Today, Grower Champagne accounts for only about 4 percent of America’s Champagne market. But that percentage has been rising quickly, thanks to a few key wine importers and America’s growing obsession with knowing the source of our food. Indeed, wine enthusiasts call grower Champagne “farmers’ fizz.”

Grower Champagnes are still quite expensive. Basic offerings from some of my favorites -- Chartogne-Taillet, Egly-Ouriet, Pierre Peters, and Vilmart -- still cost upwards of $50. But when compared to the large Champagne houses, these wines represent a good value, as Growers don’t have marketing expenses or bureaucratic bloat.

So next time you feel like splurging, pick up a bottle of Grower Champagne.

And next time you sit down for dinner -especially if you’ve prepared something with a cream sauce -- go for something that sparkles.

Girls Inc., Luncheon Gets “Strong. Smart and Bold” - Nets $205k

Co-chair speaker and Girls Inc. graduate Vanessa Singh with speaker Over 250 guests attended the Girls Incorporated of Orange County annual USMC Major Robyn Mestemacher

fundraising luncheon “My Bold Future” at the Westin South Coast Plaza hotel raising approximately $205,000 for the nonprofit organization. Girls Inc. has served the Orange County area since 1954 with programs that inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.

“Our annual fundraising luncheon is such an important event because it brings together our corporate and community partners and supporters to celebrate the work we do in the community,” said Lucy Santana, CEO of Girls Inc. of Orange County. “The monies raised today will directly impact the lives of the thousands of girls we serve each year.”

The luncheon started with a VIP reception followed by a delectable lunch that featured butternut squash ravioli with browned butter and sage sauce; the entrée was a salad of pulled chicken marinated with lemon garlic vinaigrette, served on top of butter lettuce leaves and arugula with walnuts, crumbled goat cheese and apples and berries. The dessert trio included a Chocolate Triangle Box filled with Chocolate Mousse garnished with whipped cream; a berry shot with mint and homemade Strudel in a Beggar’s Purse.

Welcoming everyone was the mistress of ceremonies, Celebrity Chef Jamie Gwen. She was a delight introducing everyone and keeping things on time.

Going with the theme, Strong, Smart and Bold one of the featured speakers, the “strong” speaker was Major Robyn Mestemacher, a G1 Operations Officer and Sexual Assault Response Coordinator at I Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Pendleton. She spoke about her days in the Marine Corp, making light of her worse days but overcoming the challenges she encountered along the way. Her motto is “bloom where you’re planted” and being the minority in the service, her speech came to life as her strength showed which definitely fit with the luncheon’s theme.

Mary Niven, Vice President of Disney California Adventure Park and Guest Services at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim was the “bold” speaker. She gave advice to those girls in the audience to believe in themselves with a “forced perspective” to look at the bigger and smaller things in life. She encouraged them surround themselves with different types of people, those who have confidence, dreams, vision and build a support system for a bold future.

Other inspiring speakers included Girls Inc. alumna, Edith Esparza and Vanessa Singh, who both received $15,000 scholarships from Girls Inc.’s national organization in New York.

An adorable video was played with different girls of various ages saying what they wanted to be when they grow up. The crowd was very touched and amused by some of the statements. Some girls stated they wanted to be a dentist, doctor, veterinarian, but the one that got the most applause was the girl who said she wanted to be the first female Major League Baseball Player!

A live auction was held and started off with “sponsor a girl” which raised over $90,000. Then the bidding wars started with the live auction – items included were a family “frenzy” package starting with 4 VIP tickets to WWE SmackDown at the Staples Center, 4 VIP tickets to Disney on Ice and 2 tickets to see the new pop superstars, One Direction. Other items included a luxury suite at one of the LA Kings games during the 2012-2013 season, 2 tickets to see the Lakers, a luxury suite at a Clipper game, 2 VIP seats at the ESPY Awards, 2 tickets to the American Music Awards and a host of more.

Major contributors to the luncheon were Hoag Hospital, Sue & Ralph Stern, ADP, Decision Toolbox, Disneyland Resort, First Foundation Advisors, HessVerdon & Associates, PIMCO Foundation, Pam & Andy Policano, Harriet & Sandy Sandhu, Sedgwick, Snell & Wilmer L.L.P., UPS and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

One small but interesting take away; there were small rocks on each of the tables along with black markers - everyone was asked to write an inspirational word or phrase on the rocks and then leave them on the table. Girls Inc., will be taking the rocks back to their facility and placing them in areas where their girls will be able to see them.

Girls Inc. of Orange County positively changes the lives of 4,000 girls annually, ages 4 1/2 to 18, with the mission to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. The Girls Inc. experience equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers and grow into healthy, educated and independent adults. Life skills, college readiness, and workforce development are the three main areas that surround program curricula. For more information about Girls Incorporated, visit www.girlsinc-oc.org.

Five-Time Grammy-Nominated Michael Feinstein Performs the Music of Frank Sinatra at Segerstrom Center for the Arts Michael Feinstein – multi-platinum artist, two-time Emmy and five-time Grammy Award nominee and champion of the Great American Songbook – returns to Segerstrom Center for the Arts for a one-night-only performance on Saturday October 27 at 7:30 p.m. in Segerstrom Hall. Michael Feinstein: The Sinatra Project pays tribute to the rich Sinatra musical legacy in his own brilliant interpretations all backed by a 17-piece big band. The program includes renditions of Sinatra’s familiar as well as obscure songs which Feinstein described as “different ways that still reflected his style and approach. It was a way into the material that allowed me to honor him without copying; to bring the essence of him through without being an imitator.”

Tickets to Michael Feinstein: The Sinatra Project start at $45 and are available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 5562787. For inquiries about group ticket savings for 10 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts applauds Omaha Steaks International and HÔM Sotheby’s International Realty for their support of Michael Feinstein: The

Sinatra Project. Acura is the Official Automotive Sponsor of the Center.

Michael Feinstein, “The Ambassador of the Great American Songbook,” is considered one of the premier interpreters of American standards. His 200-plus shows a year have included performances at Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House and the Hollywood Bowl as well as the White House and Buckingham Palace.

More than simply a performer, Feinstein has received national recognition for his commitment to celebrating America’s popular song and preserving its legacy for the next generation.

In 2007, he founded the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative, dedicated to celebrating the art form and preserving it through educational programs, Master Classes, and the annual High School Vocal Academy and Competition, which awards scholarships and prizes to students across the country. Feinstein serves on the Library of Congress’ National Recording Preservation Board, an organization dedicated to ensuring the survival, conservation and increased public availability of America’s sound recording heritage.

He earned his fifth Grammy Award nomination in 2009 for The Sinatra

Project, his Concord Records CD celebrating the music of “Ol’ Blue Eyes.”

The Sinatra Project, Volume II: The Good Life was released last year. His Emmy nominated TV special, Michael Feinstein–The Sinatra Legacy, which was taped live at the Palladium in Carmel, IN, is currently airing across the country. Last year’s PBS series Michael Feinstein’s American Songbook was the recipient of the ASCAP Deems-Taylor Television Broadcast Award. The series returned in 2012 for a second season, which is now available on DVD. For his nationally syndicated public radio program Song

Travels, Feinstein interviews and performs alongside music luminaries such as Bette Midler, Neil Sedaka, Liza Minnelli, Moby, Rickie Lee Jones, David Hyde Pierce and more.

Through his live performances, recordings, film and television appearances, and his songwriting (in collaboration with Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Lindy Robbins and Carole Bayer Sager), Feinstein is an allstar force in American music. For more information, please visit: www.michaelfeinstein.com.

Center.

Violinist Philip Setzer is a founding member of the Emerson String Quartet, which has received nine Grammy® Awards, three Gramophone Awards and the coveted Avery Fisher Prize, and has performed cycles of the complete Beethoven, Bartók and Shostakovich string quartets in the world’s musical capitals, from New York to Vienna. The Noise of Time, a groundbreaking theater collaboration between the Emerson Quartet and Simon McBurney – about the life of Shostakovich – was based on an original idea of Setzer’s.

Musical America’s 2012 Musicians of the Year, cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han rank among the most esteemed and influential classical musicians in the world today. The duo has appeared at the most prestigious venues and concert series across the United States, Mexico, Canada, the Far East and Europe. In addition to their distinction as world-class performers, the duo has established a reputation for their dynamic and innovative approach to the recording studio. In 1997, Finckel and Han launched

The Newport News

ArtistLed, classical music’s first musician-directed and Internet-based recording company, which has served as a model for numerous independent labels. This season, ArtistLed releases its fourteenth recording, an album featuring Mendelssohn’s Piano Trios with violinist Philip Setzer.

The duo’s repertoire spans virtually the entire literature for cello and piano, with an equal emphasis on the classics and the contemporaries.

Their commitment to new music has brought commissioned works by many of today’s leading composers to audiences around the world. In 2010, they released “For David and Wu Han” (ArtistLed), an album of four contemporary works for cello and piano expressly composed for them.

In 2011, Summit Records released a recording of Finckel and Han performing Gabriela Lena Frank’s concerto, “Compadrazgo,” with the ProMusica Columbus Chamber Orchestra.

Finckel and Han have also overseen the establishment and design of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s CMS Studio Recordings label, as well as the Society’s recording partnership with Deutsche Grammophon and Music@Menlo LIVE. Finckel, Han and Setzer have released two recordings on the ArtistLed label: Schubert Piano Trios and Mendelssohn Piano Trios. They will release a third trios album in late 2012.

Fire Prevention Month - Fire Prevention Education Works

By KristineAtPuroClean The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) has chosen October as Fire Prevention Month and and this year National Fire Prevention Week begins October 9th. These designations commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, that started on October 9, 1871, killing about 300 people, leaving 100,000 homeless and destroying more than 17,000 structures.

Fires happen - especially in large urban areas.

According to statistics gathered by the NFPA, your household currently has a 1 in 4 chance of having a home fire large enough to be reported to a fire department during an average lifetime - and most of these fires occur in the Fall and Winter months - with more residential fires occurring on Thanksgiving Day than any other single day of the year. Last year, at the national level, there were more fires than the year before. So there is still much work to be done in terms of fire prevention.

But the best news since the beginning of the Fire Safety initiatives is that every year deaths from fires of all kinds have been reduced. Each generation has had a lower risk of dying in fire than the previous generation. 90 years ago, your chances of dying in a fire in the U.S. would have been about 12 times what they are today. Last year, the Fire Department of Philadelphia recorded a twentythree percent (23%) reduction in fire fatalities, the lowest loss of life by fire in Philadelphia history.

So, what can we attribute these positive changes to? Education!

More people are now aware of the one key thing they can do to survive a fire: install smoke alarms. Because we know that without them, death by fire increases. In 70 percent (70%) of the fire fatalities that did occur in Philadelphia last year, the smoke alarms and/ or sprinkler systems weren’t working.

Smoke alarms are so effective in saving lives that many municipalities now have programs for people to obtain smoke alarms if they cannot afford to purchase them. (For people living in Philadelphia who cannot afford to buy a smoke alarm the hotline at 215-686-1176 will help them to obtain one at no cost.)

What you may not know is that in addition to installing smoke alarms on every floor of your home and having an escape plan, there is one additional step to take to protect yourself and your loved ones from death by fire: Close your bedroom door while sleeping!

Additional tips: Once they are installed, make sure to test your smoke alarms weekly and change the batteries twice a year when you change our clocks for day light savings time Replace Smoke Alarms every 10 years When you plan and practice your home fire drill, include a family meeting place in the plan If the smoke alarm sounds, make sure you feel

the closed doors for heat. IF THE DOOR IS HOT DO NO OPEN THE DOOR - FIND A SECOND WAY OUT Smoke kills! Make sure you stay low when exiting the building since smoke rises IF A FIRE STRIKES LEAVE QUICKLY! FIRE IS VERY FAST - GET OUT AND STAY OUT NEVER GO BACK INTO A BURNING BUILDING By following these tips, you and your loved ones may survive in good health if the unthinkable should happen!

Tips on Being Prepared for a House Fire

By Debra Pamplin People work diligently day after day, to protect their family, their home, and their belongings. There are always steps to take to prevent damage and destruction from certain fiascos. But, what if there is a fire in your home?

What preventive steps can you take to ensure your family is allowed a safe exit of a home fire?

A house fire is something few of us wish to discuss. It is easier to not think about it. But, the fact is that talking about it and having a safety plan is crucial to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones.

The first step is to come up with an “exit plan”. This plan will include the pathway exits from the home, with scenarios of a potential fire beginning in different parts of the house. This is most important for those with small children. Make sure your kids know which way to vacate the house in the event of a fire, where to meet you once outside, and most importantly, make sure they know they are not to stop to gather any personal belongings. Let them know that everything they own can be replaced, but that they are the most valuable possession you own, and that they cannot be replaced.

Also, have a clear plan on where to meet after evacuation. A neighbor’s drive perhaps. This will be a meeting place to see if there is still anyone left inside. Once you have gathered at the meeting location, then 9-1-1 can be contacted.

Secondly, knowing that there will not be time to gather important documents and such, I recommend a fire proof box. Birth certificates, social security cards, deeds, and any personal items such as picture cds can be stored safely in a fire proof box. Some people might opt to keep an extra book of checks or cash in this box in the event of tragedy striking. Having these items survive a potential fire will just makes things a little easier after the fact.

The Red Cross will be contacted and a representative will meet with you, to

provide assistance for living expenses for the next few days. They will issue you a debit card, with a set amount of money on it. The money can be used for gasoline, food, groceries, motel and clothes. The worker will go over the amount allotted, based on the amount in your family.

Having a house fire is devastating, and no amount of planning can prepare you for the huge loss, but these few steps can help ensure a safe ending for your loved ones, and the ability to have the important documents needed to make starting over just a bit easier.

BLESSING OF THE WAVES RETURNS TO HUNTINGTON BEACH Representatives of several faith communities will again join with the Catholic Diocese of Orange and Fr. Christian Mondor to celebrate the spiritual gift that is our Mother Ocean, as the Blessing of the Waves returns to Huntington Beach, October 14, 2012. Fr. Mondor, a Franciscan monk known for his pastoral leadership at St. Simon & Jude Parish in Huntington Beach, is also an accomplished waterman and is a senior Olympics participant. He will be again joined by representatives of other established faiths and hundreds of local people - as together all give thanks for the Ocean Resource and its spiritual and physical bounty.

This marks the Fifth Blessing of the Waves - a non-denominational celebration of the faith shared by many when considering the ocean and its spiritual significance. “Regardless of religious affiliation, many people feel more connected to their spiritual self when coming in contact with the ocean and its waves. Be it the prayerful thought inspired by a beautiful sunset over the sea, or the calm that often greets the early morning beach walker - it is well established that our Mother Ocean helps connect us to a higher sense of self Page 16

and our connection to others. This is what we celebrate each year with the Blessing of the Waves,” said Fr. Mondor.

Interfaith participants expected to include: Maneck Bhujwala (Zoroastrian, Westminster); TBD (Jewish, Temple Beth David, Westminster); Maria Khani (Muslim, Garden Grove Mosque); Tom Morey (Bahai, who is also creator of the Morey body-board); Rev. Dr. Peggy Price (Christian, Seal Beach, Center for spiritual Living); Dr. Gurpreet Singh Ahuja (Sikh, Orange, CA); as well as Fr. Christian Mondor (Catholic/Christian, Sts. Simon and Jude Church, Huntington Beach) Past events have attracted large crowds with many attendees eager to claim that they have participated in earlier Blessing of the Waves gatherings. Held adjacent to the famed Huntington Beach Pier, the morning gathering includes musical performances by a Pacific Islander choir, area musicians and more.

The Newport News

Drawn to attention by the blowing of a conch shell horn - the ceremony includes brief presentations by the attending religious leaders and culminates with Fr. Mondor’s blessing the crowd with water drawn from the surfline. With the concluding blast of a conch shell bugle, the crowd then walks in unison to the water’s edge where Fr. Mondor and others connect with the ocean and waves by paddling out, wading in or simply touching the Pacific stream as it comes ashore.

“We never expected the Blessing of the Waves to become so successful. This event is truly unique and suggests to me that people of all backgrounds, faiths and with a con-

nection to ocean - do indeed share common bond. We feel in our hearts that we are part of something bigger than ourselves when confronted by the horizon’s watery spread or when confronted by a powerful ocean wave.

How we meet these experiences is similar to a personal prayer - offered in thanks or in need - and it is for this reason alone that the Blessing of the Waves has made a connection with so many people,” Mondor concluded.

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 F537563 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: September 19, 2012 T.D. SERVICE COMPANY as said Trustee, T.D.

o other trend has parked itself at the forefront of the culinary world quite like food trucks, but these aren’t the stale doughnut and questionable hotdog stands of yore. From coast to coast, a new generation of chefs has been putting unique cuisines on four wheels. But if you’re not in an urban setting, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on these delectable dishes.

To celebrate the phenomenon, CanolaInfo partnered with four food truck chefs/owners representing different U.S. regions to create the Street Eats Recipe Collection, allowing home cooks everywhere to recreate delicious food truck fare.

“The economic downturn has driven the street food trend in recent years along with Americans’ love of all things fast and convenient,” says Josh Henderson, owner of Skillet Street Food in Seattle, Wash. “There are all of these wonderful chefs looking for a way to bring their creations to the masses, and now with mobile kitchens, it’s easier than ever.

This recipe collection provides yet another way of sharing our love of flavorful foods.”

Because of its versatility, canola oil is used in each Street Eats recipe. At 468°F, the smoke point (heat threshold) of canola oil is among the highest of all cooking oils, which means it’s perfect for sautéing and baking.

“I use canola oil in my food truck because it can take the heat and has a light texture and neutral flavor,” says Henderson. “From my skillet dishes to my gravy, it is very adaptable, letting other ingredient flavors shine without weighing them down.”

Canola oil can also help kick saturated fat to the curb when used in place of solid fat or other oils in recipes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized a qualified health claim on canola oil’s potential to reduce the risk of heart disease when used in place of saturated fat.
