New Year’s Eve Champagne By Julie Wimmer Champagne is a New Years Eve staple. Most people, when they hear the word Champagne, think celebration, and New Years Eve is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, celebrations in the world. Whether you are a Champagne and/or wine drinker or not, it is always fun to toast the new year with a sip of the bubbly stuff. Lucky for us, there are different kinds to choose from depending on your palate and budget. What are the different kinds of Champagne? Champagne, as most of us know, is basically sparkling wine, however, there are different types. There is sweet Champagne and dry Champagne, just like wine. When the bottle claims the Champagne is “Extra-dry,” that obviously means it is dry, however, “Brut” means it is the driest kind of Champagne. The sweet bottles of Champagne are called “Sec,” which is sweet, and “Demi-Sec,” which is the sweetest. Picking a dry Champagne or a sweet Champagne can depend on taste, food or price. My father is a wine connoisseur. He has been buy-
ing, tasting and testing wine’s since before I was born. We even had a full wine cellar, although it was raw (dug out from the basement with a metal rack put inside,) in our house growing up. Suggestions from my father: Sweet wine and Champagne, according to my father, go with cheeses, red meat and saltier fair. Dry wine and Champagne are better paired with desserts, fruits and sweeter dishes like a chicken dish with a sweet sauce. Buying Champagne When my husband and I went on our honeymoon in Nantucket years ago, we decided to over-splurge one night on dinner. We’d heard a particular restaurant was worth it, and it was, so we even splurged on the Champagne we ordered to toast ourselves. Each glass, however, was $25. We picked out what was considered an expensive Champagne, and it was certainly delicious, however, that price is steep. You can get a great Champagne at $25 for the entire bottle. You just have to know how to pick it. There are many brands, Korbel, Taittinger , Veuve (with that familiar
yellow label,), Dom Perignon, Freixenet and many more that we have seen at liquor stores or heard about from commercials or magazine ads. If you are having guests who know nothing about wine or Champagne and are only going to have a sip at midnight, then it’s okay to go with a Spumante (which you can get for $6) or Freixenet. If you care about the taste however, do some research. Dom Perignon is high end, and yes, delicious no matter what type you pick, but a bottle can run you $100 and up. If you have that sort of cash and want to spend it, great, you are very fortunate. Taittinger has been rated in wine magazines and they have bottles, both dry and sweet, that start at $23. A nice pick for a dinner party or New
Years Eve. Veuve is very popular, however they also have great prices (like Taittinger) and many fantastic tastes to choose from. This brand is a great option for a large party on New Years Eve.

5 bold steps to reshape your life Time to reflect back on 2016 and set your sights on 2017. How did the year progress, and what did you accomplish? Maybe your goals included: A new promotion, a new car, a bigger house, better health or more meaningful relationships. Did they happen? Has that time come to raise the bar and make a fundamental change? At first glance it may seem impossible, but nothing changes unless you take control. Maybe 2017 is the year you start living life more on your own terms - and start today by employing these five tips: * Live a life that is true to you. Wrestle with this one. Dig deep. Is it work? Then make passion for that work front and center. Is it skill building? Then tackle an online class in a skill you need, or just want to explore. Is it where you live, or who you are sharing life with or want to share it with? Stare it down and chart one bold step toward change. The biggest regret at the end of life’s journey is abandoning your dreams. And for most people it’s just pure fear that they weren’t good enough, so they “turtle shell” up. Stop. No retakes. One mantra: Live Life Now. Repeat: This is Your Life. Find what is true to you and take one tangible step. * Measure your time and where it is spent. Time is like the sand in the hourglass of life. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Manage it like money. Every person walking this planet has the same exact number of hours in a day. Think of it as currency. How are
you spending it? Seriously, take out the pen, paper and write down for one week how that most precious commodity was spent. Then change the allocation and budget time toward accomplishing that change you want, and maybe even desperately need. Own your hour glass of life and take control. * Focus on your people. Ask yourself a tough question: Who are the people you care about most? Who do you impact, and who impacts you? These are the people that matter most in your life. Don’t be afraid to shift the balance of your time in their favor. You’ll be a better friend, and you’ll inherently feel stronger and more impactful. Your support network grows stronger, as do you. * Feel good with what you wear. This may seem contrite, but what you toss on that skin of yours not only speaks volumes about you, but also puts you into a certain mindset. If clothes make the man, what do yours say about you? Change some items
in your wardrobe and feel good about what you wear. For example, the Madda Fella menswear clothing line projects the chill vibe of Key West, yet works well in the boardroom or out on the boat. * Find your inspiration point. What place inspires you? Where is that one spot in the world that motivates you above all others? For Madda Fella CEO and founder Michael Louden, it is Key West. “When I am there, in the sun, in this gorgeous slice of the world, I change perspectives... see a bigger world.” he says. “You owe it to yourself to do something meaningful with your life, to make a difference.” Find your place. You’ll find it is just what you need to recharge your batteries, revive your spirit and strengthen you. The holidays are a wonderful time to bring into focus the year ahead. Don’t be afraid to think big and to start now. Set the ground work for change today and you’ll make 2017 your most legendary year yet. - (BPT)

PACIFIC SYMPHONY WELCOMES THE CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH A MUSICAL “LOVE FEAST” THE 2017 LANTERN FESTIVAL Pacific Symphony, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, is celebrating the 2017 Chinese New Year with the Southern California community by offering a number of unique and multifaceted events. First, all are invited to the inaugural concert, “Chinese New Year: A Love Feast,” which offers a joyous mix of Eastern and Western music and dance, on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2017 at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Surrounding the concert is a VIP Chinese New Year Celebration reception and formal dinner in collaboration with LUILI crystal art. Then, the Symphony partners with the South Coast Chinese Cultural Center/Irvine Chinese School to present the “2017 Lantern Festival,” commemorating the end of the Lunar New Year. This free, family-friendly festival—with numerous activities and performances traditionally associated with the end of the Lunar New Year— takes place Saturday, Feb. 4, 2017 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. “These events will bring cultures from both the East and West and our own community together,” says Charles Zhang, Symphony board member and founder of Pick-Up Stix and Zion Enterprises, who considers himself an ambassador for Orange County’s Chinese-American community, as well as the Symphony. “China has a unique culture and a long history that are both appealing to Americans. These events will allow everyone to learn about Chinese culture as we unite together.” The festivities begin with the Symphony’s first concert dedicated to the lunar holiday. “Chinese New Year: A Love Feast” is a colorful presentation of Eastern and Western music and dance ushering in the “Year of the Rooster” (according to the Chinese zodiac). “The program is an offering of incredible breadth, covering a wide spectrum of music, but mostly music that especially resonates for such a celebration,” says Maestro St.Clair. “One great wish I had for this concert was to do the fourth movement of Beethoven’s Ninth with a collective chorus. I felt that its message was absolutely the motto needed for such a joining of spirits and friends: that ‘all men should become brothers’ is exactly our hope for celebrating the Chinese New Year with our friends of the Chinese-American community. I am so very thankful that they have invited us to unite with them in such an important moment in their year.” The concert includes a variety of music to celebrate the beauty and wonder of the Chinese New Year, including “Butterfly Lovers Concerto” by He Zhanhao/Gang Chen and Hua Wu’s “Deep into the Night” featuring erhu master George Gao, and Li Huanzhi’s “Spring Festival Overture” and Debussy’s “Clair de Lune.” Accompanying the music are dance performances by Jill and Page 6
Amnon Damti, members of the Yaya Dance Academy, the Awakened Blessing Lion Dance Troupe of the JC Culture Foundation and the UC Irvine Department of Dance led by choreographer Tong Wang. Vocalists include Orson Van Gay II, Jessica Zhu and Gloria Xiong. The evening culminates in the inspirational “Ode to Joy” from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, featuring Pacific Chorale (John Alexander, artistic director) and the American Feel Young Chorus (Sam Wei-Chih Sun, artistic director). The concert flow has been designed by Yaya Zhang, an awardwinning artist with 20 years of stage performance, choreography and dance instruction experience, who graduated from the department of Folk Dance at the Secondary School of Beijing Dance Academy in 1999. Zhang received a B.A. in choreography from Beijing Dance Academy in 2003, and during her decade-long study at the Beijing Dance Academy, Zhang mastered many different Chinese ethnic folk dance traditions as well as sword, fan, ribbon and sleeve techniques. Before moving to the United States in 2007, she worked in many productions in China including musicals. She now teaches at several dance companies in Los Angeles and serves as artistic director of Yaya Dance Academy. In addition to the concert, Charles and Ling Zhang are hosting a special “Chinese New Year Celebration” on the Box Circle Level of the concert hall to raise additional funds for the Symphony’s artistic and education programs. Around 200 guests will enjoy an elegant cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m. followed by a formal dinner and entertainment provided by the award-winning Chinese pianist Fei-Fei Dong. LUILI crystal art will be on display, and the founders of LUILIGONGFANG—Loretta Yang, art director, and Chang Yi, creative director—will be in attendance as honored guests. A ticket to this event also includes a premiere ticket to the Chinese New Year concert, a VIP intermission reception and exclusive post-concert reception featuring guest artists. For more information and pricing, please contact Pacific Symphony’s special events department at (714) 876-2364 or email events@pacificsymphony. org. “Pacific Symphony is also looking forward to celebrating the ‘Year of the Rooster’ by welcoming the public to join us on Feb. 4 for our ‘2017 Lantern Festival,’ a Chinese festival dedicated to family, renewal and community that is celebrated around the world,” says Alison Levinson, the Symphony’s director of community arts participation. “We have once again partnered with the South Coast Chinese Cultural Association/Irvine Chinese School to co-present what is sure to be a fun and festive afternoon honoring Chinese culture, music and
The San Clemente News
the arts, and this important time of year for many within our community.” The “Lantern Festival” is the Symphony’s second annual event commemorating the end of the Lunar New Year, and takes place throughout the Symphony’s concert hall, with performances in the theater, activities in the lobby and interactive demonstrations in the studio performance space. The Lantern Festival is free and open to the public. This event is made possible through the support of The James Irvine Foundation, and is presented in cooperation with Segerstrom Center for the Arts, with additional support from the World Journal and the Taiwan Tourism Bureau. This year, we have expanded the festival to include more spaces within the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, more performing groups and more activities, giving guests the opportunity to customize their own experience! The Lantern Festival, which can be traced back 2,000 years, takes place 15 days after the Lunar New Year—on the first full moon night in the lunar calendar—and marks the return of spring, representing the reunion of family. Traditionally, the Lantern Festival is an act of lighting and appreciating lanterns as a way for people to let go of the burdens of their old selves and express their best wishes for their families for the future. “Regardless of whether the Lunar New Year celebration is part of your family’s cultural tradition, we encourage everyone to join us in learning more about the Lantern Festival and taking part in this festive time of year through music, the arts
and culture,” Levinson says. The Symphony’s Chinese New Year events are significant for a number of reasons. They serve as part of a series of free or low-cost community concerts and events within a multi-year initiative for the Symphony to engage local ChineseAmerican communities. This initiative has been funded in part by a grant from The James Irvine Foundation’s New California Arts Fund. Throughout the course of the grant period, the Symphony has focused on building partnerships with local organizations that serve ChineseAmericans, producing events in Chinese-American communities and encouraging Chinese-Americans to deepen their involvement with the Symphony as volunteers, donors and board members. Irvine Chinese School is part of South Coast Chinese Cultural Association, a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote Chinese language learning, to preserve Chinese heritage, to enhance the understanding of the value of Chinese culture and to advocate cultural diversity in America. Currently, Irvine Chinese School provides multiplelevel language classes for students from kindergarten to 12th grade and adults. For this special performance, Maestro St.Clair leads the orchestra as they are joined by an array of talented dancers and singers, including Pacific Chorale and a community chorus, for a program that is both a visual and aural wonder. Tickets range from $18-$88. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www. PacificSymphony.org.

Castellanos, 17, is involved in musical theater, volunteers with animal groups and the American Legion and enjoys creative endeavors like writing short stories, reading and painting.

The Rose Queen is decided based on a number of qualifications, including poise, personality, speaking ability, academic achievement and community involvement, according to the Tournament of Roses website. Castellanos will preside over this year’s parade, themed “Echoes of Success,” and will attend the 103rd Rose Bowl Game on Jan. 2, 2017.

interfering with worship services so the events were moved to the next day, January 2. Though horses are no longer outside local churches, the tradition remains to this day.

Tips for hosting a new years party that shines Entertaining with family and friends is one part of the holiday season that we all look forward to. But holiday hosting can sometimes be harried. To keep you and your guests merry this season, consider hosting a wine party that shines. David Mirassou, wine expert and sixth generation of America’s oldest winemaking family, believes that food and wine enhance one another and are best shared with family and friends. His secret to hosting a stressfree soiree is planning for a creative, small-bite menu with wine pairings that highlight the flavors of each dish. “The wine you select should complement the food, look beautiful on the table and inspire toasts,” says Mirassou. “The right wine can add elegance to any holiday occasion and it can play an important role as both a gift and entertaining staple at celebrations throughout the season.” Here are a few wine entertaining and gift-giving tips to get you in the holiday spirit: * Offer small bites and festive fare. Prepare an assortment of appetizers and small plates for entertaining, allowing your guests more sampling opportunities and letting you out of the kitchen to mingle more.
* Create a cozy setting. Consider setting up food stations in your home to allow guests to congregate in different areas. Floor cushions around a coffee table and coasters on the mantle will encourage mingling. * Plan to offer your guests both a red wine and a white wine. A Chardonnay has wide appeal because it has fruitforward flavors to maximize food pairing options. A Pinot Noir also has great versatility in food and wine pairings. * How much wine should you serve? A general rule of thumb is to plan on about one glass of wine per person for each hour of the gathering. * Stretch your wine dollar. Now is the time to take advantage of price breaks for purchases of six or more bottles at many supermarket chains. For an event, the savings can really add up. * Personalize a gift from the vine. Not hosting this season? With very little effort, wine can be a gift with a personal touch. Embellish wine gift bags or boxes with festive ribbon and trim or add a custom neck tag by writing a note about the wine you are giving. Having trouble picking the right wine to give as a gift? Visit Mirassou.com to take their quiz and
see what’s right for you, along with some wine pairing ideas. You can also visit the site or Facebook.com/ MirassouWinery for more entertaining tips and recipe ideas. Try this Belgian Endive and Dried Cherry Quinoa Salad - an easy-toprepare recipe that is also festive in its presentation. Belgian Endive with Dried Cherry Quinoa Salad Prep time: 15 minutes Cook/stand time: 22 minutes Chill time: at least 1 hour Ingredients: Salad: 1 cup quinoa 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or broth 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped 1/4 cup snipped fresh chives 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted 24 Belgian endive spears Dressing: 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon stone ground mustard 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste Directions: Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh sieve; drain well. Bring stock and quinoa to a boil in a small
saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let cool. Whisk together all dressing ingredients and stir into quinoa with cherries, chives and thyme. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Stir in walnuts and spoon into endive spears. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired. Makes 8 servings. Recipe tip: This light appetizer may be prepared one day ahead. Add walnuts and spoon into endive spears just before serving. Use a tri-color quinoa blend for extra color. Pairs best with Mirassou Sunset Red.
Good Luck Foods to Serve for New Year Celebrations By Shelly McRae New Year celebrations symbolize the setting aside of the past and looking forward to a new year of prosperity and good health. When planning your New Year’s party, invite good fortune into your home with some of these good luck foods and traditions. Southern Traditions Hoppin’ John, a dish made from black-eyed peas and pork fat, is thought to have its origins from the African slaves of the early 1800s. As for its powers to attract good luck, that lies in a civil war legend. Lauren Salkeld, writing for Epicurous. com, explains that during a prolonged battle in Vicksburg, Mississippi food stores were nearly depleted when a large cache of black-eyed peas was discovered. The legume has since been considered a symbol of good luck. Serve the Hoppin’ John with an abundance of greens and cornbread. The greens, preferably collard greens, represent money, or more specifically, folding money, while the cornbread represents coin because it is the color of gold coin. European Traditions Greens aren’t just found in the good Page 14
luck lore of the south. In Germany and Ireland, green cabbage is served with braised pork or corned beef. Legumes also grace the tables of New Year revelers in the European tradition; lentils in particular are paired with pork, as the lentils resemble coin and pork has its own place in the celebrations. Pork as a New Year’s Eve celebratory food has origins from Spain, Portugal and Austria, among other European countries. The traditions include such delicious dishes as roasted suckling pig, roast pork, pork sausages and pigs’ feet. The pig is a good luck symbol for a prosperous New Year because of its habit of rutting forward; it digs in and pushes forward, letting nothing prevent it from reaching its goal. Hispanic Traditions The tradition of eating a grape at each stroke of the clock at midnight on New Year’s Eve originated in Spain, and was a response to a grape surplus in 1909. It was a practical solution and is now associated with foretelling the fortunes of the coming year. The tradition is common throughout Mexico and South America. The idea behind this tradition is
The San Clemente News
to eat a grape at each chime of the clock, not to be confused with each second of a countdown to midnight. At midnight, in Spain, the clock in the Plaza del Sol chimes 12 times. A chime lasts just long enough to eat a grape- quickly. Each grape represents one month of the coming year. The first grape is indicative of January, then, and
if sour, January may be a difficult month. Along with the tradition of 12 grapes is custom of placing a coin in the pan dulce, a Mexican sweet bread. The baker in the family hides a coin in one of the treats, and the recipient of the coin is said to have good luck throughout the year.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 In Source Logic at 702-6597766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08005606-14-1. 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.

QUARTER PAGE COLOR This month I have terrific low prices on quarter page full color ad packages. Plus you can choose to either pre pay or pay as you go. But remember these rates apply only if you order this month. Smart business owners and marketing experts agree that the best advertising program is one which brings you clients and customers. Savvy business managers are wise to be concerned about high volume publications that don’t deliver a strong local audience that would generate immediate income for your business. Major daily newspapers like the Times and the Register reach nearly a million readers, but do you really need to pay their high prices to reach your customers in San Clemente, Telega, Dana Point? While some glossy monthly magazines are stylish, their costly rates may not be realistic compared to choosing a highly effective newspaper like these reasonably priced local newspapers which are received by your most likely preferred customers of high income homeowners. This advertising costs you far less money. These five local newspapers are attractive, effective and affordable. Let’s talk today!

Dazzling New Years party looks from head to toe ‘Tis the season for glitzing up a sparkling holiday look. From office parties and family gatherings to community events and charity galas, now is the time to look and feel your best. It may be a hectic time of year, but with a little preparation and creativity you can dazzle all season long. Try these quick and easy tips from beauty and style expert Jennifer Walsh for a stellar head-to-toe holiday look: * Start with your hairstyle. Create a chic and classic look by pulling your hair back into a simple ponytail and embellish with a jeweled headband to shine in the festive holiday lights. Complete the look with understated stud earrings. * When it comes to makeup this holiday season, you can be more daring with your eyes and lips. A deep smoky eye in shades of gray, bronze or plum is sure to turn up any look. If you are looking to catch someone special under the mistletoe, nothing stands out more than a bold red lip. * For your nails, opt for a gel manicure in a neutral hue that will go from day to night. The gel finish will last for weeks without chipping - no matter how many presents you wrap or parties you attend. Moreover, it
