San Juan Capistrano: The Jewel of Missions By Michael Grisso In the center of Orange County you will find the “Jewel of the Missions” or better known as the San Juan Capistrano Mission. One that started over two hundred years ago has blossomed into a historical landmark for many to see and admire. However, a lot of sacrifice was endured over this period to inhabit many different cultures. The San Juan Capistrano Mission was re-founded on November 1, 1776. Due to an attack from Indians in San Diego in 1775 the Mission bells were buried to keep them safe if there were a similar attack on San Juan Capistrano. Then, once everything was calm Father Junipero Serra re-founded the Mission and built the church and additional buildings with the help of the local Indians who were friendly. However it was not until 1791 that the Mission bells would be ringing in a bell tower when it had been completed. For fifteen years while San Juan Capistrano was being built the bell would hang from a simple tree. By 1806 the largest church in California was built and would continue to grow over the course of the next decade. 1811 became a very successful year for the Mission where they would have a magnificent display of
wheat, corn, cattle, sheep, and horses. Unfortunately it would not last long and tragedy would reach San Juan Capistrano when an earthquake came and took the church that was with it never to be built again. A few years thereafter a pirate named Bouchard was attacking the California settlements and as the Padres were warned they took all they could and fled with the natives to another area. As ordinary discipline was becoming obsolete, due to Mexican Governor Echeandia telling Indians that did not need to follow commands of the Padres, it was evident that activity would all be lost. By 1845 the San Juan Capistrano Mission was sold for $710,000 to Don Juan Forster. What once was a beautiful site was now in ruins and hardly well kept until 1910 when Father John O’ Sullivan came to the Mission looking for a healing recovery from tuberculosis he decided he would take on the challenge and try to re-establish it back to years prior. By 1918 San Juan Capistrano Mission was an active church once again and still is today. You can find the Mission in southern Orange County just three blocks west of I-5 Ortega Highway. Today you will find over 10 acres of gardens mixed in with beautiful hand made fountains, and a sense of piece
in this quiet area away from the distractions of the city. One of their most notorious events viewable during the spring is the return of the swallows. If you visit San Juan Capistrano Mission do so around March 19th as one of the biggest media frenzies in California when the swallows migrate back to the Mission. It is said that many years ago Father O’Sullivan noticed a storekeeper in town taking a broom and knocking down the nests of the swallows and chasing them away. The padre then invited the birds back to the Mission declaring that there was “room for all”, and ever since they continue to return feeling safe. San Juan Capistrano Mission is used for many different aspects in Orange County and throughout California. Because of its “national monument” status, preserving the Mission is one of the most important developments in the works today. As of 2006 they were making continuous efforts to raise over $10,000,000 in donations to restructure the buildings. You will find visiting the Mission to be an educational experience throughout as many surrounding schools take field trips to the destination on a yearly basis. You will also be able to enjoy festivals and events that would attract any tourist staying in the area to

How Wine Criticism Is Changing Happy grapes
By David White Twice in the past three months, the wine world has been rocked by news from Robert Parker, the world’s most famous wine critic. In December, Parker announced that he’d sold a “substantial interest” in the Wine Advocate, the influential magazine he founded in 1978, to a trio of Singapore-based investors -- and that he’d relinquished editorial control. In February, one of Parker’s top critics, Antonio Galloni, said that he’d left the publication to start an online enterprise. Parker, who popularized the 100-point scale for reviewing wine, is nearly 66. So he can’t be faulted for wanting to slow down. But thanks to this pair of stories, oenophiles finally seem ready to admit that wine
criticism is changing. Consumers don’t need -- or want -- centralized gatekeepers telling them what they should or shouldn’t drink. Consumers still need advisors, of course, but when today’s consumers want information, they’re willing to look past professional critics and instead turn to friends and trusted networks. With travel, restaurants, movies, and so much else, this trend would hardly be worthy of commentary. TripAdvisor long ago supplanted paper-based guides like Frommer’s. Yelp is now the holy grail of restaurant reviews, and local blogs are increasingly influential. With movies, opening the local newspaper for commentary no longer makes sense when you can check out dozens of reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. With wine, however, this shift runs counter to so much of what’s sacred. Everything about wine -- the bizarre tasting rituals, knowledge of obscure regions and varietals, and identifying good values -- is supposed to be handed down from on high. Consumers are supposed to decide what to drink based on the advice of prominent wine critics -- not mere amateurs. But it’s obvious that consumers are growing comfort-
able dismissing gatekeepers. Look at CellarTracker. Ten years ago, Eric LeVine, a Microsoft executive, built a data-management program for his wine cellar. When he showed the program to some friends, they begged him to share it. So he put the program online, where friends could track their personal inventories and share tasting notes. LeVine then decided to make his program available to everyone, for free. Today, about 800,000 people visit the site each month, and more than 2,200 wines are reviewed on the site each day. This means CellarTracker users review more wines in just six days than Robert Parker reviews in an entire year. The site isn’t just used by wine junkies -- about 90 percent of its visitors aren’t registered. As wine writer Jeff Siegel once wrote, “this means people aren’t going to CellarTracker to mark off a wine after they drink it; they’re going to CellarTracker to read wine reviews written by amateurs.” Just as CellarTracker is becoming more popular, scores are becoming less important. Across the country, boutique wine shops are taking off. Many don’t post scores at all, as the owners see
scores as an obstacle to consumer interaction. Once upon a time at highend restaurants, it wasn’t unusual to see scores on a wine list. Today, such a concept is laughable -- top restaurants employ sommeliers who are eager to educate their customers. The wine media is also changing. While consumers can still subscribe to publications like the Wine Advocate or Wine Spectator, they can also turn to blogs and message boards. And then there’s social media. Facebook has eclipsed 1 billion active users; Twitter has half as many. Earlier this year, Instagram announced that it has over 100 million users. People are utilizing these platforms to share everything -- and one of those things is wine. There’s even an iPhone app -- Delectable -- that enables users to remember, share, discover, and even purchase wines, just by snapping a photo. It’s becoming extremely popular among wine enthusiasts. Today’s wine drinkers are an adventurous bunch, confident in their own palates and willing to trust the advice of their trusted networks. With Parker’s decline, this trend is only going to accelerate.

By Jeanne Baney One of the oldest neighborhoods in California, the Los Rios District is surprisingly trendy these days while still retaining the old world charm. It was a surprise to cross the tracks of the old California Central Railroad station and find this very interesting lane of tiny homes and shops. I was told by one of the shopkeepers that these were the original homes, many restored, but the architectural details are the same. There are no termites in this land of dry heat and so the wood homes did not suffer damage during the centuries. The sizes, consisting of tiny, tinier, and tiniest are mostly original. Auto traffic is not allowed, so while walking along the lane sans sidewalks you are free to observe the tiniest details or bask in the sunlight while gazing at historical old California. Many of the tiny homes are enclosed with tiny fences making it look almost like Munchkinland, it is so enchanting. It is hard to tear yourself away from one shop to explore the next. An outdoor garden with multiple fountains for sale was exquisite and the perfect place to rest. Another shop with a garage opened and filled with tiny gardens was breathtaking. Each garden was made in a unique container, a wood fruit box, a copper bottom pot, A felted hat, an egg basket. The gardens contained miniatures that told a story. Miniature clover, flowers,
the tiniest creatures, each garden more enticing than the last. The creative proprietress did not fill them will pre-manufactured items, but created an illusion of an item using something entirely different. For example, you could purchase a tiny trash can for a doll house. But she used a black film can adding a handle to the top. It has the appearance of a trash can when placed in the right setting. The Los Rios District also had a restaurant located on a corner, a block or so down from the main area. Here they served afternoon tea out in the fenced garden area. Snowy tablecloths covered the iron tables and the overgrown cactus and palms told tales of dryness that only tea could quench. A yarn shop at the end of the lane seemed out of place at first, yet inside, the skeins of hand dyed wools and spinning takes one back to the
days when it was the only way to clothe yourself against the cool evenings before trains brought goods in from the East. The little wood houses were close to the lane, with just a bit of space between the porch and the street. The sides of the lane were marked with a wood fence or a row of stones or bricks. It was dusty and dry, each home and business had a riot of colorful flowers and tall palms surrounding it. Cactus grew taller than the roof and was in bountiful supply. It’s a hideaway lane and was not crowded with tourists. You could look down the street and not see another person. This enhanced a feeling of actually being in another time and place. A sleepy amble down the lane in the warmth of the sun, puts you right in the middle of pre-gold rush California.

Tax Deadlines Are Real
By Jason Alderman Congress could well debate the debt ceiling, tax reform and other important economic issues until the cows come home, but one thing’s for sure: If you don’t pay your income taxes – or at least file for an extension – by April 15, you could be in for a world of financial hurt. That’s because the IRS probably won’t give you a break on the penalties it levies on unpaid taxes unless you were the victim of a natural disaster, suffered death or serious illness in your immediate family, or experienced another catastrophic event.
You must file your 2012 federal tax return (or request an extension) by midnight on April 15, 2013, otherwise the penalty on any taxes you owe will increase dramatically. You’ll be charged an additional 5 percent of taxes owed for each full or partial month you’re late, plus interest, up to a maximum penalty of 25 percent of the amount owed. (The interest rate currently charged is 3.22 percent.) If you file your return or extension request on time, however, the penalty drops tenfold to only 0.5 percent per month, plus interest. Here’s how it adds up: Say you owe $2,500 in federal income tax. If you haven’t requested an extension, you would be charged an additional $125 (5 percent), plus interest, for each month you’re late in paying off your bill. Had you filed for an extension, the penalty would drop to only $12.50 per month (0.5 percent). Be sure to contact the IRS early if you won’t be able to pay on time so y ou k eep as many payment options open
as possible – either call 800829-1040 or visit your local IRS office. Also check out the IRS’ “Filing Late and/or Paying Late” webpage for helpful information (www.irs.gov). One way to avoid this penalty is to pay by credit or debit card before the filing deadline. You’ll pay a convenience fee, which is tax-deductible if you itemize. Fees vary depending on which payment processor you choose. (See “Pay Your Taxes by Debit or Credit Card” at www. irs.gov for details.) If you use a credit card, make sure you can pay off the balance within a few months; otherwise the accrued interest might exceed the penalty. Other payment options include: If you can pay the full amount within 120 days, you may qualify for a Short-Term Extension. If granted, you’ll still owe interest on your debt, but will avoid the application fee for an installment agreement. If you need longer than 120 days, an Installment Agreement lets you pay off your bill
in monthly installments. To apply for either, fill out an Online Payment Agreement Application at www.irs.gov or call an IRS representative at 800-829-1040. Under certain dire financialhardship circumstances, the IRS will allow some taxpayers with annual incomes of up to $100,000 to negotiate a reduction in the amount owed through an Offer in Compromise. For step-by-step instructions, read the IRS Form 656 Booklet. If you’re unable to make payments on your installment agreement or offer in compromise, call the IRS immediately for alternative payment options, which could include reducing the monthly payment to reflect your current financial condition. Also read the IRS’s guide, “The What Ifs for Struggling Ta x p a y e r s , ” w h i c h c o n t a i n s helpful information on the tax impacts of different scenarios such as job loss, debt forgiveness or tapping a retirement fund.

Jazz fest raises $161,000 for Ocean Institute The Ocean Institute’s popular jazz fundraising weekend event combined renowned jazz artists Rick Braun, Peter White and Richard Elliott with elegant dining, cocktails and fundraising opportunities for the nonprofit learning laboratory dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of the ocean. Noted jazz trumpeter Rick Braun and Friends provided the sounds that have made this one of the most popular jazz events in Southern California. Joining Braun were acoustic guitar artist Peter White and saxophonist Richard Elliot. A two-time winner of the Gavin Report’s Smooth Jazz Artist of the Year award and Billboard Top 20 artist, Braun has toured with many of show business’ most famous musicians, including Tina Turner, Natalie Cole and Tom Petty. White, whose reputation for versatility combines lyricism and energy with elements of jazz, pop and classical guitar has opened for artists Linda Ronstadt, Billy Joel, Queen and others. Elliot thrives on crowd interaction and stormed onto the jazz scene in the nineties with What’s Inside, followed by his first #1 collection, On the Town. His next two releases, Soul Embrace and After Dark, also went #1. The weekend kicked off on Friday, February 22 when 300 guests enjoyed Pear Valley Vineyards wine, appetizer reception by Sabatino’s and desserts compliments of the Savannah Chop House followed by a spectacular performance by the jazz trio. On Saturday evening, an elegant, intimate affair was attended by 200 hundred guests on the grounds of the beautiful Ocean Institute facility in Dana Point Harbor. The premiere fundraising gala including red carpet welcome, cocktail reception with passed canapés, and an award-winning, four-course epicurean meal prepared by celebrated local chefs from St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort & Spa, Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa, Montage Laguna Beach, Laguna Beach, and The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel. Pear Valley Vineyards, established in Paso Robles in 1997, provided all wine pairings. The evening began with an expansive silent auction held in the Ocean Institute’s Ecology Building and later in the evening, a rousing live auction sold a St. Regis Wine Cellar Dinner for 12 twice for $6,500, an Auberge Private Residence Vacation for $5,500 and a Montage Studio Chef’s Table for 10 went for $4,750. Due to unprecedented demand, an encore performance with Unplugged Peter White was added to the schedule on Sunday afternoon. The unique music experience included lunch by Bristol Farms and a Q & A session with the musician following the performance. San Clemente resident Bob Beaulieu chaired the weekend festivities. Beaulieu is with Pacific Western Bank and has served on the Jazz committee member for the past seven years. Net proceeds from the entire weekend of events, at $161,000, will benefit the Ocean Institute and its hands-on, ocean-oriented educational programs. Since its inception in 2003, this annual weekend of events has raised more than $1 million to support the Ocean Institute, whose mission is to inspire all generations through education to become responsible stewards of our oceans. More than 115,000 K-12 students and 6,000 teachers annually participate in the Institute’s 61 award-winning, immersion style programs. To learn about ocean facts, sea creatures, oceanography, science, and California history, students voyage onto the ocean, study in labs and live aboard tall ships or in the chaparral, where they can feel and taste the salty sea spray, sort through live specimens, observe migrating whales on the Dana Point whale watch cruises, collect scientific data and investigate the culture and world around them. On weekends, the Ocean Institute is open to the public.

Spring Forward Safely Next Sunday, March 10th is Daylight Savings. Setting the clock forward means it’s time not to just check the clock, but for a spring clean safety check! As make your “hot lap” around the home, setting clocks ahead why not take a little extra time for a short safety checklist says Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna. Help Spring your home into being safe and organized by: Change the clocks, change the batteries. We do ask you to do this in the fall, however you may check again. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide definitely detectors save lives. Firefighters recommend replacing smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries twice a year, so Spring Forward Sunday with fresh batteries all around. Helpful hint: While they’re likely not fully charged, replaced batteries can still do duty in toys, media players or electronic devices. Get the last drop of juice out of them before you recycle! How’s that home fire extinguisher hanging? Has it gone past the expiration date? Let’s check! Here’s a bright idea! Since you’ll have you’ll have that stepladder out checking smoke detector batteries and clocks, double up on safety by checking for light bulbs and fixtures. Have you considered replacing conventional bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent or LCD bulbs? Rumor has it, replacing standard bulbs with energy-efficient ones saves money! Check the first-aid kit. It’s a good time to check your first aid kit against and replace or upgrade any missing supplies. Fail to plan, plan to fail! This is a good time to review your family emergency plan. If an emergency strikes, will your family know what to do? Review your family’s emergency plan, or create one for the first time. Hold a meeting with family members to explain what to do and where to go in case of an emergency. Update phone numbers, addresses and contact information, and post an emergency information page near the phone. Here’s one area you can get some “Spring at Home” Safety Tips; http://www.safetyathome.com/home-safety/ Your local fire department will be glad to help you with any of the above! The Newport News

Share Your Home, Change Newport City Hall to the World Close on Monday, March For Understanding 11 from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. USAYouth (YFU USA) is seek-
To continue preparations for city offices to move into the new Civic Center, Newport Beach City Hall will be closed from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, March 11. It will reopen at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 12. All City Hall offices and public counters will be closed during the afternoon and early evening of March 11, but City staff will remain on-site to sort and scan documents, consolidate files, and otherwise prepare for the move date. It is anticipated that City Hall will move from its current location at 3300 Newport Boulevard to its new location at One Civic Center Drive (near Coast Highway and Avocado) in early April. The move is tentatively scheduled to occur on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6. The City’s current data center, telephone system and all staff computers will be moved during this time period in addition to paper files, plans and records. Disconnecting and reconnecting the data center and restoring the more than 200 staff computers will be the most time-consuming element of the move. Therefore, City Hall is expected to be closed from Friday, April 5 through at most Wednesday, April 10. (If the move can be completed more quickly, offices and public counters will reopen sooner.) City Hall staff will report to work during this period to help unpack and prepare the new building.

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 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.priorityposting.com regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case T.S. No. 20120056. 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. The mortgage loan servicer, beneficiary, or authorized agent has not obtained from the commissioner a final or temporary order of exemption pursuant to Section 2923.53. The timeframe for giving notice of sale specified in subdivision (a) of Section 2923.52 has been met. UnionBanCal Mortgage 8248 Mercury Court.

ST. JOSEPH’S DAY AND THE RETURN OF THE SWALLOWS CELEBRATION Mission San Juan Capistrano will host St. Joseph’s Day and the Return of the Swallows Celebration on Tuesday, March 19 from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. The celebration begins with Mass from 8:30-9:15 a.m. at Mission Basilica and continues with festivities on the historic Mission grounds at 10 a.m. Though St. Joseph’s Day and the Return of the Swallows celebration is an annual event, this year promises to feature something special -- the cliff swallows themselves. Acting on the advice of cliff swallows expert Dr. Charles Brown, the Mission last year implemented a “vocalization project” in the hopes of attracting the birds who have been distracted in years past by urbanization. Once again, in effort to attract more swallows, speakers have been strategically placed on the Mission grounds and will play courtship songs for the next eight weeks to lure in the birds. “The hope is to play calls and songs that will attract the interest and notice of passing cliff swallows,” said Dr. Brown, who is a professor of biological sciences at the University of Tulsa. “Once they see this site, there’s a good chance they will be interested. It’s a matter of attracting them in; we know they are overhead and in the area.” Dr. Brown will give a lecture beginning at 2 p.m. in the Soldiers Barracks, part of a festive day of activities that will include: § New Gate House and front entrance now open to the public § Daily Ringing of the Historic Bells in honor of Father Serra at 9 a.m. § Ceremonial Ringing of Historic Bells in honor of St. Joseph and the Return of the Swallows at 10:15 a.m., noon and 3:15 p.m. § Historic School Bell Ringing at 10 a.m. in the Central Courtyard § Live music from Renée Bondi and Mariachi for All of Capistrano Community Mariachi Program § Mission Basilica School traditional student performances § San Juan Elementary School kindergartners bilingual language immersion program performances § Performance by Ballet Folklorico de California State University Fullerton § Performance by Duende Flamenco § Native American Tushmal Singers and Basketweavers § Journeys to the Past California Native American stories and dances Page 18
§ Activites for Kids including Adobe Brickmaking and Panning for Gold § Windows of the Past Exhibit on new Mission Store facility in public plaza on Ortega Highway § Swallows Walk and Talk tour at 11:15 a.m. and 1 p.m. § Docents stationed at the Serra Chapel, Great Stone Church and museum exhibits to provide information and answer questions § Vendors Las Golondrinas (Mexican food); Z Pizza (artisan pizza); Hawaiian Delight (coffee, churros, cotton candy); and Gavin Arts (Swallows Celebration Commemorative T-shirts and Sweatshirts) The cliff swallows migrate annually to Goya, Argentina, in October, and return to their spring and summer home in San Juan Capistrano each March. The Swallows celebration began centuries ago when Mission padres observed that the birds’ return roughly coincided with St. Joseph’s Day on the church calendar, March 19. The celebration has achieved international prominence since then. In his book, “Capistrano Nights,” Father St. John O’Sullivan, pastor of Mission San Juan Capistrano from 1910-33, related how the swallows first came to call the Mission home. One day, while walking through town, Father O’Sullivan saw a shopkeeper, broomstick in hand, knocking down the conically shaped mud swallow nests that were under the eaves of his shop. The birds were darting back and forth through the
The Newport News
air squealing over the destruction of their homes. “What in the world are you doing?” Father O’Sullivan asked. “Why, these dirty birds are a nuisance and I am getting rid of them!” the shopkeeper responded. “But where can they go?” Father Sullivan responded. “I don’t know and I don’t care,” the shopkeeper replied, slashing away with his pole. “But they’ve no business here, destroying my property.” Father O’Sullivan then said, “Come on swallows, I’ll give you shelter. Come to the Mission. There’s room enough there for all.” The very next morning, the padre discovered the swallows busy building their nests outside the newly restored sacristy of Father Serra’s
Church. Another favorite spot was the ruins of the Great Stone Church, which was once lined with hundreds of swallows’ nests. General admission is $10 for Adults, $9 for Seniors (60+) and $6 for Children (ages 4-11). Admission is free for Mission Preservation Society members, current volunteers with I.D., and children 3 and under. Tickets are available now at the Mission’s Gate House and may be purchased in advance or on event day. Reserved seating is not offered for this event. Please RSVP separately for Dr. Brown’s lecture by phone: 949-234-1321 or by email: crobinson@missionsjc.com.
