There is no agenda or speeches. “The “Coffee with a Cop” event aligns well with our department’s community policing approach and enables us to personally and positively connect with the residents we serve,” said Chief of Police Services Dave Moodie. Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the country, as local police departments, sheriff’s offices, and state police forces strive to make lasting connections in the communities they serve.

Tree-ific Holiday Treats with Kids For many adults, the holidays are transformed by the chance to experience the wonders of the season through the eyes of children. There’s no better way to elicit a merry twinkle all around than by creating festive holiday treats together in the kitchen.

Not home for the holidays: the beauty of holiday traveling Vocalists from Perry Como and the Carpenters to Michael Buble have warbled about how wonderful it is to be home for the holidays. But who says you have to buy into that belief? Not being home for the holidays offers many advantages, including the opportunity to travel, visit far-off loved ones or just immerse yourself in total relaxation during one of the most hectic times of the year. While families with small children may embrace the experience of decorating, cooking and gift-giving in the comfort of their own home, other groups - such as families with teens, couples without kids, and baby boomers who love to travel with friends may feel ready to revel outside their home zone. Like traveling at any time of year, holiday trips are not without hassles, but the benefits can make the challenges worthwhile. Here are a handful of reasons why not being home for the holidays could make the season bright: * Total relaxation - Instead of hurrying to decorate your home, host a soiree, accept every invitation, prepare enough food to feed an armored battalion, and find exactly the right gift for everyone you’ve ever met, going away to a resort during the holidays can help ease holiday stress. Opt for a quintessential winter getaway like in the Village of Kohler, Wisc., and you’ll enjoy a snowy holiday season, complete with carolers, hot cocoa and holiday decor around every corner. The American Club Resort, one of only 45 hotels in North America to boast both AAA Five-Diamond and Forbes Five-Star designations, has been hosting happy holidays for
decades. Immerse yourself in spiritsoothing relaxation at Kohler Waters Spa, enjoy snow shoeing through an 800-acre wildlife preserve, or catch up on last-minute shopping at 25 specialty and boutique stores in the Shops at Woodlake Kohler. * Visiting far-away loved ones - Is there an adored cousin whom you just don’t get to see that much anymore? A brother who lives five states away whom you haven’t shared the holidays with since you both lived with your parents? Giving up being in your own home for the holidays affords you the chance to enjoy part of the season in the home of loved ones you see infrequently. While you spend the whole year with the family you live with or the ones who live nearby, the holidays are the perfect time to re-connect with family and friends who live far away. And, if you don’t want to add to their stress during the season, you can find plenty of great hotel deals in cities across the country.
* Savoring seasonal flavors without the work - Holiday cookies, pumpkin pie and elaborate dinners are an integral part of the season for many people, but they’re also a lot of work. Staying in a hotel or luxury resort during the holidays ensures you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite flavors of the season - prepared by a professional chef and leaving cleanup chores to someone else. Instead of spending hours in the kitchen preparing and cleaning, you’ll get to share those seasonal flavors with your traveling companions. * Great travel deals - Knowing many people prefer to stay home for the holidays, top hotels and resorts across the country offer travel packages, deals and incentives to entice holiday travelers. Add-ons abound, from all-inclusive offerings with meals, parties and special dinners, to shopping packages that provide travelers with access to and discounts for premium shopping venues.
I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party. ~Ron White The San Clemente News

How to Host a Hot Winter Party If cooler temps have you feeling blue, there’s no better time for a party with family and friends to lift your spirits. Though you may not want to treat your guests to an al fresco brunch, winter weather shouldn’t hold you back from entertaining in style. From playful party games to creative recipes that feature the fresh flavors of watermelon, a little mid-winter gathering is just what you need to beat boredom and get you primed for sunnier months ahead. To make your winter party a hot success, follow these tips for setting the theme and creating the perfect menu: • Don’t shy away from foods typically associated with warmer weather. Watermelon, for example, is actually available year-round and makes a surprisingly healthful and delicious addition to a winter party spread, whether in a fruity drink, side dish or dessert. The recipe below combines decadent chocolate fondue with the light, sweet pop of juicy watermelon. Remember to save the rind to use as a pretty carved centerpiece. • Pick a theme that pays homage
to the season. Penguins, snowmen, icicles – the possibilities are endless, so set your imagination free. Remember that lighting sets the mood, so look for options that complement your theme, whether soft and subtle candles or bright and colorful paper lanterns. • Take advantage of the cooler weather as an excuse to savor an array of rich, decadent comfort foods. Serve warm, crusty breads with dips or a thick, creamy soup or chili. Or delight guests with an indulgent chocolate fondue with watermelon dippers for a little extra fun. • Serve a hot cocoa or spiced cider bar and let guests add their own toppings and spices, ranging from whipped cream and maraschino cherries to cinnamon sticks and caramel syrup (adult libations optional). • Help guests forget the blustery outdoors with action-packed party games that get the blood flowing and rev your internal temps. Charades is a classic example that lets a large group participate. Use wine bottles and ribbon-wrapped miniature looms for a grown-up ring toss. Or simply
prepare a spirited play list with music so lively your guests can’t help but get up and dance. For more entertaining recipes and party ideas, www.watermelon.org. Watermelon and Spicy Mayan Dark Chocolate Fondue Servings: 4 4 cups watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 /2 cup fat-free half and half, plus extra reserve 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 /2 teaspoon chili powder 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 1 /2 teaspoon coriander 8 ounces dark chocolate (at least 60 percent cocoa powder)
Wrap watermelon cubes in paper towels to soak up excess fluid. Set aside. In medium saucepan, bring half and half and spices to almost simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate. Let chocolate melt, then continue to stir until thoroughly blended and creamy. Adjust flavors to personal taste. Transfer fondue to fondue pot and heat according to directions. (If fondue becomes too thick, stir in extra reserve half and half, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency.) Place watermelon cubes on platter with fondue forks or skewers.
Governor B rown S elects L eondra R . K r u g er for C alifornia S u preme C o u rt Leondra R. Kruger, 38, of Washington, D.C., has served as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Legal Counsel since 2013. She served as an Assistant to the Solicitor General and as Acting Principal Deputy Solicitor General in the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Solicitor General from 2007 to 2013. While serving in that office, she argued 12 cases on behalf of the federal government before the U.S. Supreme Court. “Leondra Kruger is a distinguished lawyer and uncommon student of the law,” said Governor Brown. “She has won the respect of eminent jurists, scholars and practitioners alike.” “I am deeply honored by Governor Brown’s nomination,” said Kruger. “I look forward to returning home to California and, if confirmed, serving the people of California on our state’s highest court.” Kruger was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School in 2007 and an associate at Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr LLP from 2004 to 2006. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable John Paul Stevens on the U.S. Supreme Court from 2003 to 2004 and to the Honorable David S. Tatel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 2002 to 2003. Kruger was an associate at Jenner and Block LLP from 2001 to 2002. Page 6
“I am delighted to congratulate Leondra Kruger on her nomination to the California Supreme Court,” said U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. “Leondra is an extraordinarily talented attorney who has been a leader within the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel and Office of the Solicitor General. Her remarkable judgment, tireless work ethic, and dedication to the highest ideals of public service have marked her as one of the foremost leaders of her profession. I am certain that she will be an excellent and thoughtful Supreme Court Justice who will serve the people of California with distinction for many years. I will miss working with Leondra, but I am proud to join my colleagues in wishing her all the best as she begins a new chapter in her already extraordinary career.” “Leondra Kruger is a brilliant, deeply principled and eloquent lawyer who has served the Department of Justice and the country with great distinction in the Solicitor General’s Office and more recently in the Office of Legal Counsel,” said U.S. Solicitor General Don Verrilli. “Her character, temperament and wise judgment make her ideally suited to serve as a jurist on the California Supreme Court. “Leondra Kruger is perhaps the most outstanding lawyer in America right now under the age of 40. She is known for meticulous preparation before her arguments in

the United States Supreme Court, her absolute dedication to candor and her unwavering commitment to fairness,” said former Acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal. “She served the United States Justice Department with marked distinction, and will make a historic, fabulous, Justice on the California Supreme Court. California, and the nation, could do no better than Leondra Kruger.” “Leondra is an outstanding lawyer and was an even better colleague at the Office of Solicitor General. She combines an understated and easygoing manner with a keen legal mind and unquestioned integrity,” said former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement. Kruger earned a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School, where she was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University, where she graduated magna cum laude and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Kruger was born and raised in the Los Angeles area. She is a member of the State Bar of California. “Leondra is an exemplary, outstanding graduate of the Yale Law School,” said Yale Law School Dean and Sol and Lillian Goldman Professor of Law Robert Post. “She has a proven track-record of exceptional public service and achievement. I am confident that she shall become a superb Justice, a magnificent fiduciary for the laws and
welfare of the people of California.” Kruger will replace Associate Justice Joyce L. Kennard, who retired from the court earlier this year. The compensation for this position is $225,342. The Governor ’s nomination must be submitted to the State Bar ’s Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation and confirmed by the Commission on Judicial Appointments. The Commission on Judicial Appointments consists of Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Attorney General Kamala D. Harris and senior presiding justice of the state Court of Appeal Joan Dempsey Klein.

Nothing says holiday cheer more than tickets to this summer’s production “The Pursuit of Happiness.” “The Pursuit of Happiness” will explore the many sources of happiness, both ancient and modern, through the theatrical performance of “living pictures.” The 2015 Pageant of the Masters will be a sentimental journey through depictions of pastimes and activities that gave people joy long before the instant gratification of the computer age. “The Pursuit of Happiness’ promises to be a fun and entertaining show,” says Ticket Services Director Lucia McLeod. “‘Buy tickets now when good seats are available at advance prices.”

original pieces. Advance tickets are $15 - $230.

Bake Away the Winter Blues When the weather outside turns frightful, baking homemade treats will be so delightful. Whether it’s with friends, the kids or even by yourself, making treats is a great way to keep warm and active when snowed in. Try these tips from Wilton for fun indoor activities during wintry weather: • Plan ahead. Stock up your pantry ahead of time with baking and decorating supplies, so you’ll have what you need during snow days. • No two snowflakes are alike. It’s easy to make a deliciously unique treat. Bake a large brownie or a cake in a Snowflake Tube Pan (see recipe below). Decorate it with icing and marshmallows, sprinkles, candycoated chocolates or chocolate chips. • Build tasty snowmen. Instead of getting bundled up to build a snowman outside, make fun snowmen cookies with a two-piece Melted Snowman Cookie Cutter Set (see recipe below). After decorating, enjoy the cookies with a cup of cocoa. For more fun and tasty winter recipes, baking tips and inspiration, www.wilton.com. S’mores Snowflake Brownies Servings: 12 Wilton Snowflake Tube Pan 1 box (18 ounces) brownie mix Water, oil and eggs to prepare mix 4 graham crackers, broken into Page 8

Bake 24-26 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of brownie comes out nearly clean. Cool in pan on cooling grid 10 minutes. Remove from pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Childhelp’s Rat Pak Redux at Balboa Bay Club Nets $800,000 For Popular Children’s Charity Event Co-Chairs Shan Vincent, Kristen James and Joy Whitlock The Orange County Chapter of Childhelp welcomed over 350 guests to the Rat Pak Redux at the Balboa Bay Club. This first time event which included a Silent and Live Auction, Raffle Drawing, Dancing with music provided by the Tijuana Dogs, dinner and Gaming Tables netted close to $800,000. With guests dressed in their best sophisticated Rat Pak attire, the women with their glamourous gowns and the men in their Frank Sinatra styled tux’s, they were greeted by lovely ladies passing out cigars and Tiporillo’s. Reminiscent of the 1940’s, hues of red and gold cast a smoky backdrop for the Rat Pak theme. The dining tables were dressed in black, red, white and gold. Guests dined on a salad of mixed greens with goat cheese, pecans and sliced pears; the entre consisted of a duet of Filet Mignon and White Fish with an array of vegetables, then a Chocolate soufflé for a decadent dessert to finish things off. The program began with Childhelp President Debra Violette who welcomed everyone in attendance. She introduced Eric Schneider, author of the book “The Choir Boy” – which documents his journey of surviving childhood sex abuse, alcohol and cocaine addiction, and a life of crime as a member of the infamous Whitey Bulger organized crime syndicate. At one time a professional bank robber, he is now a successful building contractor and in a loving relationship. He was called up to the podium and spoke about his hopes to raise awareness of abuse through his story. The Founder’s Award was presented by Childhelp Founder Sara O’Meara to Jacquie and Michael Casey for their long term commitment to Childhelp as members and major supporters. The Casey’s have been very generous to Childhelp for over 25 years both financially and with their time volunteering every chance they get. Also acknowledged was Childhelp Ambassador Maksim Chmerkovskiy from Dancing with the Stars who dazzled everyone with his smile. Live Auction items generously donated were a Huntington Harbor Cruise of Lights for 10 Aboard a 64’ Yacht; Balboa Bay Club Resort Stay and Dinner for 8 with wine pairings; a 52 Bottle Wine Wall Collection; Big Bear Lake Waterfront Estate; Best Ever Block Party for 40; Men’s Corum Admiral’s Cup Leap Second 48 Luxury Timepiece; Seattle Getaway for 2 at the Fairmont Olympic; Men’s Made-to-Measure Suit from Ermenegildo Zegna, Entertainers’ Delight Wine Tasting Party for 20; and a Newport Harbor Cruise for 10 aboard a 90’Yacht. Manhattan’s and martinis were the drink of choice while guests enjoyed the dancing to the Tijuana Dogs Band into the night. The event chairs; Kristen James, Shan Vincent and Joy Whitlock planned the event with committee members Julie and Mark Adams, Krista and Eli Arce, Linda and Thomas Brechtel, Linda and Jay Burns, Nancy Cardin, MaryAllyn Dexter, Susan and Jade Earlabaugh, Patti Edwards, Michael FitzGerald, Gwen Forquer, Michelle George, Jill Glick, Brad Hinman, David James, Jennifer and Michael Kite, Ken Kotchnik, Michelle Langston, Paul McDonald, Katherine and Cory Meredith, Diana & Chris Miner, Perla Pergis, Pam and Bud Pharris, Joyce and Mark Simon, Gina Van Ocker, Alix Vincent, Debra Violette, Nancy Whitlock and Zlatko Zadro. Childhelp provides a broad continuum of child abuse prevention and treatment programs that directly serve children and their families. Childhelp works to prevent and educate children about child abuse and neglect, combined with the healing programs to help those children who have already endured sexual, physical or emotional abuse, the organization of Childhelp has benefited over 5 million children to date.

FAMILY FEATURES
T
he highlight of many a holiday meal, desserts are adored by young and old alike. This year, complete your festive celebration with delightful desserts that feature California Dried Figs. Naturally sweet and available year round, figs easily add a touch of elegance to a variety of recipes. Dark purple Mission Figs have a soft, thin skin with a sweet, fruity taste, while Golden Figs are amber-colored with a firmer skin, welldeveloped seeds and a slightly nutty flavor. Both are interchangeable in most recipes.
Keeping holiday traditions California Dried Figs are the perfect ingredient to star in your holiday recipes, especially for Hanukkah and Christmas. Sliced and simmered with fresh lemon and honey and spooned over cheesecake or chopped and combined with a little hazelnut liqueur and caramel for a luscious bottom layer, figs add a stunning fruit accent to popular cheesecake desserts. No matter what you are celebrating, your family will love these “figgy” recipes. Besides the sweetness that figs bring to the table, California Dried Figs are a healthy ingredient rich in dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates and such essential minerals as potassium, iron and calcium.

The SitOrSquat app, sponsored by Charmin, not only helps you find a local public potty, but also includes user reviews that inform you of their condition, as indicated by “Sit” or “Squat” icons. This app’s an especially great pick
for families with small kids whose bathroom emergencies tend to spring up at the most inopportune times. * Field trip (iOS, Android) - What’s the fastest way to really get to know a city while traveling?

S H A R I N G T H E C OTO D E C A Z A N E W S A L L O V E R A F R I C A Massey Family Brings Their Hometown Coto de Caza News Around the World
Shalem, Lori, Ashton, Evan and Brennan Massey are pictured in 110-degree weather in front of the pyramids with their hometown newspaper The Coto de Caza News. When the Massey family took their excellent summer vacation, they decided to bring their local Coto de Caza Newspaper with them around the world to keep up with their hometown events and to show the people they met along the way about the community in which we live. “What better way of giving British, South African and Egyptian nationals a taste of Coto de Caza than letting them leaf through a copy of our own home town newspaper, “says Lori Massey. The Massey’s toured London, then on to South Africa’s Johannesburg, and throughout Egypt, pulling out the Coto de Caza News wherever they went and sharing it with people they met. They visited the Apartheid Museum
in Johannesburg and then stayed in the Lost Sun City for a few days of relaxation. They flew to South Africa’s Kruger National Park where they went on safari in two different locations near the park, observing all kinds of wild life, including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and rhinos. They even witnessed a leopard that killed a cheetah. They were able to hold and feed lion cubs and take a walk in the nearby bush with several toddler lions. Their last stop was Egypt and a tour of the pyramids, the solar boat and the sphinx. The Massey’s showed others at the various camps and their guides the Coto de Caza News and spent lots of time explaining and discussing living in Coto de Caza and South Orange County.
The Massey family, Shalem, Lori, Ashton, Evan and Brennan Massey even brought the Coto de Caza News to the exotic hotel at the Lost Sun City South Africa. Page 16
The San Clemente News
People from Germany and Australia were interested to hear over dinner conversation about Coto de Caza and seemed fascinated to see some of the pictures and stories in the Coto de Caza News. Shalem, Lori, Ashton, Evan and Brennan are pictured in 110-degree weather in front of the pyramids. Shalem grew up as a child of Christian missionary parents to the Middle East. He had visited Egypt on several occasions and wanted to give his wife and children the opportunity to visit as well. They visited Tahrir square, which was the center of the recent protests in Cairo. They viewed a number of buildings that had burned and left to stand as a reminder of the revolution. They
passed through several barbed wire checkpoints near the Tahrir square and a military presence was visible in many locations, including the Egyptian Museum, where the Massey family toured the collections of sarcophagus and King Tut’s exhibit. According to their guide, tourism was down 92% since the revolution. The protesters have scared away a great deal of tourists, but the Massey family was grateful for the opportunity to visit and learn about a culture that was so different from their own and give their friends living abroad a glimpse of living in South Orange County’s Coto de Caza and sharing with their hosts a copy of the Coto de Caza News.

DATE: 11-21-2014 ALAW, as Trustee REGINA CANTRELL, ASSISTANT SECRETARY ALAW 9200 OAKDALE AVE. - 3RD FLOOR CHATSWORTH, CA 91311 (818)435-3661 For Sales Information: www.servicelinkASAP. com or 1-714-730-2727 www.priorityposting.com or 1-714573-1965 www.auction.com or 1-800-280-2832 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, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales and Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting and Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting. com (Click on the link for “Advanced Search” to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. 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. A-4498551 11/28/2014, 12/05/2014, 12/12/2014
