Mayor Robert “Bob” Baker announced today that he will host a “Meet the Mayor” meeting on Saturday, February 27th from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. at Panera Bread located in the Talega Village Center at 802 Avenida Talega, Suite 100 in San Clemente. Members of the public are invited to join the Mayor on the outside patio of the restaurant. This meeting serves as a variation of the
“”Mayor’s Hours” which are held at City Hall. When Mayor Baker last served as Mayor in 2013, he hosted these off-site meetings with residents to provide an additional opportunity to sit down face-to-face with the Mayor. “In our family friendly community, I understand the time constraints of our residents, which make it difficult to get to City Hall during the work and school week. While the City provides
numerous communication tools for residents to connect with elected officials, nothing replaces face-toface communication,” said Mayor Baker. “I like to provide alternative ways for residents and business owners to discuss their concerns in a convenient, neutral setting“, added Mayor Baker.

between them. These real life tools Danny provides will be made available to every teen and parent in order to build the kind of communication that saves lives!

Travel like a local for a truly authentic vacation experience Americans are on the move: logging two billion business and leisure trips of 50 miles or more from home for at least one night last year alone, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Today, more people are looking for authentic travel activities - ones that are outside the traditional museum or monument visit. To get more out of your next vacation, consider expert advice on how to break out of the tourist rut and have a truly authentic local experience. “The single biggest thing you can do to trigger these experiences is to talk to people - talk to locals,” says Reena Ganga, Gadling blogger and Wanderplex Founder. “But since that’s easier said than done, I think there are several ways you can try to foster interactions with locals and put yourself in a position to create great travel memories.” Reena Ganga’s tips: * Trek like the locals. Don’t limit yourself to sightseeing buses or taxis. If the locals travel in communal minivans or via bike, do it too. Locals who aren’t used to seeing tourists take that form of transport often find their tenacity endearing and will make the effort to talk to them. * Go off the beaten path. Make time to head to the smaller, secondary cities when you travel. These are often the places that feel the most culturally distinct. If you’re in a big Page 6
city, head outside the tourist zones and into interesting neighborhoods where the locals spend their time. * Choose a place that feels like home. Instead of staying in a traditional hotel, think about staying in a serviced apartment or an extended stay hotel like Hyatt House, where you have a living room and kitchen. Then head out to the local market and talk to the vendors. You’ll discover the produce and products that are special to that area, and you never know where the conversations will lead. * Eat with the locals. Don’t just eat at chain restaurants that you’re familiar with or that only have English menus. Go where the locals congregate. Whether it’s a momand-pop restaurant or a street stall, local eateries are likely to have more authentic food and the locals are often eager to tell you about the food, how to eat it, etc. * Put away technology. If you find yourself lost while traveling, don’t immediately refer to maps on your phone - stop and ask a shopkeeper for directions. If you need a restaurant recommendation, don’t just search online. Ask locals for their tips - it’s a great excuse to strike up a conversation. Keep in mind, traveling with a local mindset means taking a new approach to packing, too. Stewart offers these smart packing tips:
The San Clemente News
* Distribute weight evenly. Pack the heaviest items, such as shoes and toiletry bags, at the bottom. Pack socks inside shoes to prevent footwear from getting squished. * Skip checked baggage. A canvas bag with a sturdy strap is great for packing for any length of trip. Remember, if you forget something, often hotels can help. Hyatt House has the Hyatt Has It - Borrows program, which can supply everything from a phone charger to yoga mats. * Carry-on with care. Because you never know when weather or unforeseen events will cause travel delays, pack a carry-on bag containing items you would be very unhappy to lose, such as medications
and toiletries. * Stay clean on the run. Travel-size packaged antibacterial towelettes are great for keeping your hands and face clean. * Regulate wrinkles. Use large drycleaner bags to pack bulky sweaters or cardigans. The plastic helps prevent wrinkling. * Secure belongings. If you’re traveling a long distance, use a lock and key or combination lock to protect your belongings. These simple tips make it easy to travel like a local and get the most out of your next vacation. You’ll be delighted by the unique memories and wonderful stories you get by traveling with a local mindset.

Accessorizing secrets for a beautiful home and a beautiful you Accessorizing is a beautiful thing; the right accessories can make your home exciting and inviting, and give you confidence and style. Yet accessorizing can be intimidating as well. With so many options in terms of design and color, it can be difficult to refine your personal style - and express your tastes in your own wardrobe and your home’s decor. Fortunately, the fundamentals of good accessorizing are the same, regardless of whether you’re dressing up your house or spicing up your own look. Whether you have a knack for pulling together an outfit as easily as a room, or can’t quite seem to get it together, a few simple tips can help you enhance your style. Pop that color - Neutrals make an awesome backdrop for pops of color. Whether it’s a neutral shade on the walls of your living room, or a classically cut skirt in a subtle hue, set off your neutral backdrop with brightly colored accessories. Pillows, plates, photo frames, candles and other colorful accessories create interest and depth in a room’s design. All kinds of small and decorative items can be colorful and inexpensive. You can find fashionable and fun items in shops that specialize in the unusual, such as Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (R). Explore the offbeat. For example, beautiful glass jars filled with pickles and canned veggies are not only a culinary treat, they can add
zest to a room’s decor when used as a colorful display. For you, adding a bold necklace, chunky bracelet, bright belt or scarf can layer your look with personality. As a bonus, if you find a look that fits your personal style, consider incorporating it into your home decor with accessories. For example, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store offers trendy coastal-themed jewelry several pieces are less than $10 - and home decor items that echo the easy, relaxed style and sea-side colors of the shore. Simple styling - One of the most challenging aspects of accessorizing can be settling on a style. The good news is, when you find one that works for you, you can apply it to both your personal style and your home decor. Does classic sophistication work for you? Subtle colors that convey classic styling in your wardrobe can make great hues for walls, carpeting and upholstered furnishings. Is quirky and unconventional -more your style? That tropical print you love on your bedroom drapes can add humor and excitement to your wardrobe when it shows up in an airy cotton scarf. That same color and pattern combination can make a statement when you use it as a runner on your dining room table. Brimmed hats, earrings, bracelets, totes and flowing wraps all speak of summer vacation and fun - and the
essence of easy style that works well in your home and in your closet. You need to love your atmosphere - Whatever the purpose of a room or an outfit, you need to love the atmosphere it creates. Whether you’re designing a space for family fun or pulling together a knockout look for that special night out on the town, the colors and styles you choose will create a specific ambiance. It should be one that speaks to you and your personality. For example, are summer gatherings with friends one of your favorites things to do? Salute the best of summer with colors that evoke summer holidays, such as a
fun red picnic cup lighted garland (available at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store) and matching red picnic cup stemware. Keep the effect going by adding that shiny red hue to your wardrobe accessories with a belt or necklace. Have an affinity for the horsey set? “Stable” décor featuring riding-inspired accessories such as candleholders and canisters with whip stitched accents is popular and a horseshoe doubling as a tea light holder evokes the look beautifully. Just keep a few secrets that apply to both home decor and wardrobe building in mind, then let your adventure begin.

The number of lives saved and the scores of tragedies averted by these brave defenders of our safety and well-being was truly amazing. Elks Past President Dennis Keffer said of the event, “I’ve been Master of Ceremonies at these tributes for seventeen years and I never tire of hearing the stories related by these wonderful people.” Following the awards ceremony event Chairman Harvey Boelts said, “We read in the news about the incidents these men and women are involved in and must deal with on a daily basis. Some of those incidents are frightening with endings that are quite sad, and some have results that bring a smile to your face. But all give you an appreciation of having these amazing servants of the community here to deal with them. Meeting these men and women in person with their wives, husbands and children present and beaming with pride, just shows you the real human side of their story.” The gala affair was the 28th Annual Law Enforcement and Firefighters Appreciation Night put on by the Elks and was sponsored by The Elks Bingo Committee. Elks District Deputy Harvey Boelts and his talented all volunteer kitchen crew (family) prepared a delicious Fillet Mignon dinner, which was served by volunteer students from Mission Viejo High School. The event was chaired by Elks Harvey Boelts with help from many more Elk members. Mission Viejo/Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge #2444 is celebrating 47 years of service to Saddleback Valley Communities.

Three simple ideas for creating an amazing cheese platter
An order of “extra cheese” is commonly heard in restaurants across the United States. In fact, this delectable dairy treat is enjoyed by people all around the world. The flavors and textures of different cheeses make a cheese tray the perfect appetizer to please a group of guests and showcase your personal style as well. And creating an interesting cheese platter is easier than you think with a few tips and tricks. Here are three unique platter ideas that are sure to impress at your next party: 1. The cheddar flight. Wine isn’t the
only thing that gets better with age. Offer your guests a plate of delicious, aged cheddar cheese. Black Creek’s premium cheddar cheese -is available aged nine months, two or three years and features a richly-sharp flavor. To create this platter, present the cheese on a cutting board, and allow your guests to cut their own. Adorn each variety with number-shaped birthday candles to show their ages. For example, use a “9” for the ninemonth offering. If you would like to serve your cheddar in cubes, cut the cubes in different sizes, start small at nine months and get bigger as you reach three years.
Plate pairings: Aged cheddar isn’t only a delectable treat, it is also a wonderful partner for a variety of wine and beer pairings. A full-bodied merlot will complement your cheddar cheese plate perfectly, and your guests will also enjoy pairing this cheese with a zinfandel, stout or brandy. 2. Tour of Europe. Italy is known for its many cheeses, but what about France, Denmark or Holland? You may not know much about the cheeses available from these countries and chances are your guests don’t either. Create a “Tour of Europe” platter and wow your guests with an offering that will pique their curiosity and delight their taste buds. French cheeses like brie and camembert offer a soft texture with a memorable flavor. From there take your guests to Holland and Denmark, for blue cheese, extra-aged Gouda or the salty, nutty flavor of Edam. Add flags to your cheese offerings denoting each one’s nationality. Your guests will quickly tour the continent and try them all. Plate pairings: A tour of Europe will offer your guests many different tastes and several beverages can be paired with this plate including stouts, ports and cabernets. If you’re looking to add another country to your tour,
visit www.dcicheeseco.com/cheese/ region for a variety of ideas. 3. Flavor within flavor. If you want to offer a cheese plate with a look and feel all its own, Great Midwest flavored jacks and cheddars are the perfect answer. Each cheese’s natural flavor is complemented with the addition of flavor infusions ranging from sweet (blueberries) to spicy (jalapeños) to savory (horseradish). Offer your guests a tray featuring fruit-filled cheeses on one side and spicy cheeses - loaded with jalapenos, habaneros or chipotle - on the other. Garnish with the fresh versions of the appropriate fruits or peppers. Your guests will love your presentation and the beautiful colors such a platter provides. Plate pairings: A plate of flavored jacks and cheddars offers guests several different tastes and is perfectly complemented by a wide array of beers. If you plan on serving a plate featuring spicy cheeses, offer your guests a riesling or iced tea as well. Creating that perfect cheese tray is simple once you have a theme. Let your imagination guide you and you will be rewarded with a platter that expresses your creativity and wows your guests.

How to find rebates for energy efficient home improvements
Home improvements that increase energy efficiency are appealing on many levels, from saving you money on heating and cooling costs to the confidence you get from knowing you’re doing something good for the environment. They’re even better when you can get some money back from the initial investment of making those improvements. Heating accounts for 29 percent of a home’s total energy use, cooling consumes 17 percent and water heating another 14 percent, according to EnergyStar.gov. Reducing energy consumption in those three areas through energyefficient home improvements can help lower utility bills. Some improvements may also qualify for tax credits and rebates. But how do you find that hidden money? Where do the rebates come from, who awards them and how can you get yours? Federal first The U.S. government offers tax credits for certain energy-efficient home improvements. Alternative energy equipment such as solar water heaters, solar electricity equipment and wind turbines are eligible for a tax credit equal to 30 percent of the cost of the qualified improvement, according to the IRS. The credit is available through the end of 2016 and can be claimed on your federal tax return. If you think these systems are too expensive, keep in mind the long-term payback. Solar water heating, for example, repays your investment much faster than you might think - in as little as three to six years. The average solar water heater has a 15-year usable life, so once you’ve recouped your initial investment it’s like getting free hot water for the life of the heater. Local opportunities Some state, county and municipal governments also have credit programs for energy-efficient home improvements. Visit www.dsireusa. org to view a clickable map of U.S. states where such rebates are available. Choose your state, and you’ll see a list of county, municipal and state programs that may be available to you. Page 16
Your local utility company may also offer incentives for energy-boosting upgrades. If you still receive paper bills, take a moment to check over the inserts that come with it. Often, they provide information on moneysaving programs, including any available rebates. Or, go to your gas or electricity provider’s website and search for rebates. If all else fails, pick up the phone and call. Manufacturer’s rebates We’ve probably all passed up on a rebate opportunity for a lower-cost product because it was a hassle to send in the paperwork. But when it’s a rebate for a new HVAC system or water heater, the savings can be significant. If you’re in the market for a new energy-efficient appliance, water heater or HVAC unit, look for manufacturer’s rebates. For example, Rheem, a manufacturer of eco-friendly HVAC systems, water heaters, pool and spa heaters, and boilers, offers a cash-back incentive twice yearly when homeowners purchase a qualifying HVAC system from the company. Choose products that provide the maximum savings When you’re considering what energy-efficient product to buy, the energy savings are only part of the picture. Keep in mind available credits and rebates and look for products that maximize those benefits. The savings will mount when you choose options that qualify for not only the federal tax credit, but also local credits, manufacturer’s rebates and utility company rebates. Products like Rheem’s Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater qualify for incentives like utility rebates. This unit is nearly 2.5 times as efficient as a standard electric water heater and it costs only $18 a month to operate. Visit www.Rheem.com to learn more about energy-efficient products and the manufacturer’s incentives. When it comes to improving your home, nothing beats the satisfaction of knowing you’ve made a long-term cost-cutting decision. But tax credits and rebates can sweeten the deal and provide a more immediate return on your investment.

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 888-988-6736 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-15-686712-CL . 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 undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of 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 deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
