Volunteers Canvas County for Point in Time Homeless Tally

BY C. JAYDEN SMITH

The final day of the County of Orange’s expansive Point in Time Count is Thursday, Jan. 25, concluding this week’s biennial effort to survey people experiencing homelessness throughout the county.

The South Service Planning Area (SPA) is the last of the three SPAs to be accounted for, as volunteers canvas San Clemente, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, and unincorporated areas of the county in addition to other cities south of Irvine.

Zulima Lundy, director of operations for the county Office of Care Coordination, spoke about the impact of the Point in Time Count beyond it being required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

“It’s important to note that the Point in Time Count is used to determine funding levels, both at the federal and state governments, associated with responding to homelessness,” said Lundy.“Locally, we take that information, and we really look and evaluate how we are designing programs and (evaluate) the programs that we’re funding.”

The county’s goal is to target the right populations, she continued, and if the count’s results revealed an increase in veterans on the street since the last count in 2022, that would affect the county’s strategy for the next two years.

HUD first mandated the count in 2007, and since 2019, Orange County has used a different methodology to gather information compared to a statistical sampling and extrapolation method used in other areas.

Local municipalities’ outreach workers, such as Dana Point’s Tamara Theodossin, and nonprofit organizations within Orange County’s Continuum of Care help pull off such a massive effort.

Paula Neal Reza, director of client services for Family Assistance Ministries (FAM) in San Clemente, is also participating in the count.

“FAM is a location for unsheltered families to “come and be counted,” so that means we have staff who have been trained and are available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 24,” Reza told San Clemente Times on Tuesday, Jan. 23.“Clients can walk in during those hours and complete the survey.”

After people finished the survey, they received a hygiene kit and a gift card, according to Reza. She added that two FAM employees will also help conduct the count.

On mornings and evenings from Tuesday through Thursday, volunteers deployed to each city in the county surveyed people experiencing homelessness, with the volunteers comprising teams of three to four people. One person served as the team captain and the others as field surveyors, asking questions to San Clemente Times January 25 - January 31, 2024

identify demographics and subpopulations that put in perspective each person’s experience.

The larger organizations of 2-1-1 Orange County, City Net, and Hub for Urban Initiatives are also contracted to ensure the count goes as smoothly as possible. City Net Chief Operating Officer Matt Bates spoke on Tuesday night about the differences between Orange County’s surveying strategy and other areas.

“What they were doing in 2017 is what they’re doing up in L.A. County tonight, which is a statistical methodology that requires statistical sampling,” Bates said.

HUD doesn’t take issue with the sampling method that is used often in social sciences, he continued, wherein possibly 200 people are surveyed and the information gathered from those people is extrapolated to represent a larger area.

In Orange County, where the goal is to interview as many people as possible by canvassing the county twice, Bates said he believed the resulting information was more accurate.

“Anytime you do statistical sampling, the larger your dataset, the more accurate it is,” he said.

Using the more detailed information helps to design a better system of care that addresses the needs that people have.

If data from the count shows a larger amount of older adults experiencing homelessness in South Orange County, then the county can allocate more resources toward the area and be more strategic about conducting interventions on behalf of that population, Bates said as an example.

Even if the people surveyors encounter are asleep or unwilling to engage in the survey, Lundy said, the volunteers can still report locations and other observable information to boost the county’s understanding of its homeless population.

The first year of the new approach, 2019, required significant effort from the county to engage the community and find the “right volunteer base,” added Lundy. Afterward, the COVID pandemic pushed the next count to 2022, and even then, the county found it difficult to plan, as it wanted to reduce the risk of people catching COVID from one another.

The count was also delayed until February, a month after it’s usually conducted, as a result of the planning hiccups.

“Now in 2024, we’re really looking at this as re-establishing our baseline past the pandemic now that a number of the COVID resources have shifted and changed,” said Lundy.

“Ultimately, what we have learned through this process is that we need our community partners to be alongside in this effort.”

Gathering volunteers was a “nerve-wracking” process, she added, as the county didn’t see volunteer numbers rise until the first week of January after the holiday season had subsided. However, she spoke of positive experiences with cities, law enforcement, and nonprofit partners.

City Net’s Bates said the organization felt

the count was important because it serves as a “diagnosis” of the county’s circumstances related to homelessness.

“We’ll do a lot of good stuff as a continuum and help a lot of people, but we won’t know if we’re making progress unless we have a really solid statistical baseline,” he said.

To achieve City Net’s goal of ending homelessness in California, the organization must understand what is left to be done. Bates added that organizing the count and having volunteers interact with unhoused people can potentially break down mental barriers and create more empathy for people who are on the streets.

It’s much easier to advocate for people once there’s an understanding of their conditions and struggles, he said, a sentiment echoed by FAM’s Reza.

“I do think that it’s an opportunity for volunteers who are not familiar with the scope of the problem,” Reza said.“I think it’s a great way for them to see what’s going on out in the streets.”

A factor Reza mentioned that might hinder the survey from being fully conclusive is unhoused people’s occasional reluctance to speak with volunteers, preventing the county from knowing exactly how many veterans or members of other subpopulations are in the area.

The City of Dana Point’s Kelly Reenders, assistant city manager, added that more factors could impact the count, further emphasizing the importance of the city maintaining its own by-name list to meet with people for case management.

The Point in Time Count, along with other activities Lundy participates in for the county, provides her a unique perspective of the local homelessness issue and helps her affect policy and design programs to address that problem.

“I am looking for that to continue, and to take the information that I have learned from the people who have lived the experience and all of our stakeholders, to continue growing that and making the changes that will be most impactful,” said Lundy.

Fifth District Supervisor Katrina Foley will

also be volunteering for the South SPA count on Thursday morning, according to a press release, as part of the 4:30-9 a.m. shift.

“To address the root of homelessness, we must have the big picture of the needs of our unhoused neighbors,” said Supervisor Foley.

“The Point in Time Count plays a critical role in the way the County of Orange solves the homelessness crisis through collecting up-to-date information about the unhoused populations across the county.”

For the first time in roughly 2½ years, the Coastal Advisory Committee met on Thursday, Jan. 18, under vastly different circumstances than previous meetings.

The group of seven voted unanimously to recommend a draft 2024 work plan for San Clemente City Council approval, as the council seeks assistance in addressing the dramatic loss of sand on the city’s shoreline due to coastal erosion.

After the committee appointed Bryan Jacobs as chair and Aaron Washington as vice chair, Committee Member Suzie Whitelaw presented a preliminary work plan that received the committee’s favor, with the group tweaking its main and lesser priorities before voting to advance it to the council.

Garcia was arrested, taken into custody, and booked on suspicion of murder, according to a press release, later on Saturday. Officials also found a knife during the arrest, but they will investigate if the knife was used in what OCSD is calling a homicide.

Deputies arrived at the 2000 block of Avenida Del Presidente at 12:17 a.m. Saturday after receiving a report of a stabbing.

Council Waits to Make Final Decision on Cell Tower Project After Finding Permit Violations

BY C. JAYDEN SMITH

The San Clemente City Council on Tuesday, Jan. 16 refrained from changing or revoking permits and approvals that would allow for the addition of telecommunications equipment to a local cell tower, but not without simultaneously reaching a serious conclusion.

The council voted unanimously to make findings that American Tower Corporation, owner of a wireless communications facility located at 616 Del Dios, has been in continuous noncompliance of all three conditions of a 1962 Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the site initially granted by the County of Orange.

Despite making these findings, the action to revoke permits and approvals will be held in abeyance, or suspended, as American Tower, the City of San Clemente and the Harbor View Estates Homeowners Association hold discussions related to the lawsuit brought by the HOA. Harbor View Estates is the Rancho San Clemente subdivision through which American Tower and contractors accessed the cell tower.

“I want to make sure that there’s an opportunity for those discussions to potentially resolve the situation, instead of litigation,” said Councilmember Chris Duncan, also agreeing with an earlier point made by Mayor Victor Cabral that litigation would be a “lose-lose proposition.”

The matter appeared in front of the council

on Jan. 16 after continued public sentiment that permits and approvals of American Tower and Dish Wireless’ requests to lower the cell tower’s height and add three new panel antennas in a process known as collocation, occurred through an illegitimate process.

According to the agenda report, legal counsel for American Tower’s representation that the tower currently and has continuously been used for wireless communications prompted the city to grant a Voluntary Compliance Agreement (Conditional Permit 1021) on July 6, 2023, a subsequent building permit to de-stack the building from its previous tallest height of 156 feet to 70 feet, and a Wireless Screening Form, an Eligible Facilities Request to to collocate, or add equipment to the tower, under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012.

The action of reducing the tower’s height would have resolved the only known violation of the 1962 CUP. Public testimony communicated at meetings and through emails in November and December of 2023 alleged American Tower’s facility wasn’t secure, the report continued, as neighborhood children frequently accessed the property, and that crews accessed the facility through Del Dios, a Harbor View Estates neighborhood street to which American Tower didn’t have easement rights.

Residents also stated the site hadn’t been maintained in accordance with the property’s conditions of approval, constituting a public nuisance, and that the site had been inactive for 30 years. The latter complaint would have made the site ineligible for the Eligible Facilities Request and further project streamlining.

City staff found the site hasn’t been maintained in accordance with Conditional Permit 1021 and has been managed in a manner constituting a public nuisance, findings that

would allow the council to change or revoke American Tower’s entitlements.

“Staff believes that there is credibility to (the public’s) claims and recommends that the City Council change the entitlement to reduce issues of public safety and nuisance by requiring a redesign of the site that addresses the safety issues of access and prevents trespass onto the property and unauthorized climbing of the tower,” the report read.

“This, however, can be accomplished without a full revocation of the underlying entitlement.”

Regarding continuous use of the facility, Murray referenced AT&T and Southern California Edison’s (SCE) decisions to remain contracting tenants for power until 2021, with AT&T remaining a tenant after SCE had left.

After hearing from both public speakers and Emily Murray, counsel for American Tower, multiple councilmembers said the public provided compelling, credible evidence for the council to find American Tower had violated the original CUP’s conditions. The conditions were that the site be fenced, that the fenced-in area be covered with crushed rock, and that the access road be oil-surfaced or treated to eliminate dust, according to Murray.

Mayor Pro Tem Mark Enmeier and Councilmember Rick Loeffler also spoke about wanting to see American Tower act in good faith. Enmeier took offense to Murray’s argument that previous public testimony wasn’t supported by facts or substantial evidence, both of which would constitute an evidentiary or legal basis for the city to make findings supporting amendment of the conditional permit, according to Murray.

BY C. JAYDEN SMITH

Ahead of the March primary election, the San Clemente City Council on Tuesday, Jan. 16, took a stance against an approximately $6.4 billion bond package that would expand the state’s behavioral health treatment system.

Mayor Victor Cabral and Councilmembers Steve Knoblock and Rick Loeffler voted to adopt a resolution opposing the bond package and two-part initiative known as Proposition 1. The resolution cites the state’s erosion of local control and institution of zoning changes that would place substance abuse and addiction treatment facilities in residential neighborhoods, as well as the San Clemente Times January 25 - January 31, 2024

“(As I can’t support) writing the blank checks anymore without having any culpability in having any success, I’m going to vote yes,” Loeffler said.

Prop 1, under Assembly Bill 531 and Senate Bill 326, would build 11,150 new behavioral health treatment beds and create 26,700 outpatient treatment slots, fund supportive housing, and amend the state’s Mental Health Service Act. Gov. Gavin Newsom said in an October 2023 release that the bills would transform the state’s mental health and substance use disorder treatment system.

“We see the signs of our broken system every day – too many Californians suffering from mental health needs or substance use disorders and unable to get support or care

beds through AB 531 and SB 326, according to a Cal Cities release.

Cal Cities supported both bills throughout 2023 before a last-minute amendment to AB 531, a change that also drew concerns from Mayor Pro Tem Mark Enmeier and Councilmember Chris Duncan during Tuesday’s meeting.

“These amendments allow for by-right approvals of unlocked and locked behavioral health facilities, sober living homes, and recovery housing,” the organization’s release read.“While existing law generally requires by-right approval of these facilities in residential areas, Proposition 1 would also apply this approval process to office, retail, and parking zones.”

said Enmeier.

Loeffler added that the facts in front of him suggested a lack of compliance and that American Tower should restart the process to receiving the entitlements it wants.

During Murray’s time to address the council, she stated the alleged conditional permit violations didn’t match those stated in the 1962 CUP, and that as of Oct. 11, 2023, the tower’s height had been lowered to 70 feet, satisfying the one violated original condition.

Since Nov. 13, 2023, crews associated with American Tower had accessed the facility through a utility access road off Avenida Salvador after American Tower received the results of an investigative survey, Murray added.

Regarding the alleged nuisance of people accessing the facility, Murray said people did so using bolt cutters, and referenced contracts for fence repair and graffiti removal she submitted to the council through an earlier letter.

American Tower has acted accordingly with the “lowest duty of care” toward trespassers that California case law requires, according to Murray, and that the city already knew of the trespassing activity at the site through calls for service that occurred prior to the Voluntary Compliance Agreement.

“All of these actions, at considerable expense, have been taken regularly to address the repeated acts of criminal trespassing and vandalism that have gone on at this site,” said Murray, who added that the nuisance wasn’t American Tower’s fault.

American Tower’s proposed voluntary measures included fencing of its entire oneacre parcel, motion sensor lighting, replacement of the chain link fence with expanded metal fencing and video monitoring..

Cal Cities then indicated it would strive to fight the saturation of sober living homes in residential areas and to institute “reasonable oversight” of such facilities going forward.

Both Duncan and Enmeier said on Jan. 16 that they would be open to sending a letter asking for modification of the bill concerning the sober living homes, but they otherwise supported the measure and how it would combat homelessness in California.

“It does give more direction and more money straight to our city instead of to the county, so that we can make the decisions (on) how we want to address homelessness as opposed to the county telling us how we should do it,” said Enmeier.

Cabral and Knoblock countered by saying the bill couldn’t be modified, as it was already on the ballot, and that the resolution was all or nothing.

The money in Prop 1 will provide for many more sober living homes to pop up in San Clemente, Cabral contended, adding that he supported the resolution for the purpose of opposing the sober living homes. sanclementetimes.com

‘After School Satan Club’ at CUSD Elementary School Sparks Debate

BY ALAN DALE

It appears Satan is alive and well in South Orange County.

At last week’s Board of Trustees meeting for the Capistrano Unified School District in San Juan Capistrano, the creation of an “After School Satan Club” at Truman Benedict Elementary School in San Clemente had some residents and parents hot and bothered, while others spoke in the best interest of the club.

The club, to be run by The Satanic Temple – an IRS-recognized organization based in Salem, Mass., according to The New York Times – is scheduled to hold its initial meeting at Truman Benedict on Feb. 12, according to a flyer being circulated at the school and on social media sites.

Truman Benedict already allows a Christian-affiliated club, run by San Clemente-based Shoreline Church called “Good News,” to host gatherings on campus.

“The use of our facilities is in alignment with state law, and there are very few exceptions to prohibiting a nonprofit organization from using our facilities outside of school hours,” Ryan Burris, a Capistrano Unified spokesperson, said before the Jan. 17 CUSD meeting.

“Religious organizations have utilized school facilities outside regular school hours to host religious services, operate clubs, and provide activities for many years in Capistrano Unified,” Burris added.

Though the name of the club has elicited strong reactions every time a new club forms – the N.Y. Times listed active clubs in Ohio, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and northern California – the club’s Truman Benedict flyer advertises “science and community service projects, puzzles and games, nature activities, arts and crafts, snacks and tons of fun.”

Furthermore, the After School Satan Club’s brochure emphasizes that it “does not attempt to convert children to any religious ideology” and that its goal is to provide students with a “fun, intellectually stimulating and nonproselytizing alternative to current religious after-school clubs being offered in our public schools.” (The temple says it started the clubs in 2016 “as an alternative to other after-school religious clubs,” the NY Times reported.)

Nevertheless, the Satan Club quickly became a highly charged topic at the CUSD meeting.

Board member Lisa Davis kicked off the discussion during the Trustees’ commentary.

She noted how earlier in the week, NationSan Clemente Times January 25 - January 31, 2024

“I would think that the district would not allow the formation of a KKK or Nazi club under a sense of propriety that neither of them reflect our community values,” Davis said.“It would not matter in the least if they were offering courses in self-worth, or art, or public speaking. I would think that the board would rightly so reject their applications, out of hand. Honestly, in my view, Nazis and KKK are terrible, but Satanists are the worst, and contrary to everything I believe in and stand for and what the vast majority of our community believes and stands for.

“The Satanist group is a hate group organized with a specific purpose to mock and demonize Christian beliefs. They could very easily rebrand as an open-minded, scientific, or even an atheist group. Choosing to brand themselves as a satanic group serves for me to express hate.”

Zora Garm, who introduced herself as a minister, congregation co-lead, and volunteer for the After School Satan Club, stated that hers is a federally recognized religion.

“The mission of the Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice, and undertake noble pursuits,” she said.“I am so proud that CUSD brings an alternative religious perspective for parents who understand who we are and align with our beliefs.

“I’m so proud to take part in this community building that clearly supports the First Amendment, diversity, religious freedom, and religious pluralism in our communities. I can’t wait to get started next month with the club, whose mission is to not proselytize … we’re not interested in converting children to Satanism.”

s 2024 begins, I remain grateful to serve the residents of District 5. Last year, we worked together toward the betterment of our community.

We enjoyed a wild year in 2023 in the Fabulous Fifth District. Yes, we encountered a few challenges with landslides, oil leaks, coastal erosion, train shut-downs, “hurriquakes,” sewage spills, toxic algae poisoning sea lions, e-bike takeovers, increased housing and grocery costs, but working together, we prevailed and emerged stronger and more resilient. We remain positive and persistent, seeking creative solutions, and singularly focused on protecting the residents, businesses, and visitors in this amazing paradise we call home.

Our team worked with me on documenting our work in our 2023 Year in Review. Review our year online here: d5.ocgov.com/2023YearInReview.

Representing you, my priorities included: • Supporting public safety, preventing crime, cleaning up our streets, and ensuring safe neighborhoods.

• Reducing homelessness by investing in comprehensive health services and longterm housing for veterans, foster youth, and seniors.

• Investing in sustainable infrastructure to increase regional mobility while planning for climate resiliency to protect communities, open space, and beaches.

• Revitalizing the middle class and supporting small businesses by creating local jobs, building attainable housing, and expanding career technical education.

• Safeguarding taxpayer dollars and improving access to Orange County services by cutting through red tape.

Letters to The Editor MAKE UP YOUR MIND, MAYOR CABRAL NANCY LIVINGSTON, San Clemente So Mayor Cabral states (that he has a) “lack of complete trust in an independent commission,” regarding a citizens commission to draw up a district election map (Jan. 18 San Clemente Times). Can a resident group of your neighbors screw up any more than Cabral, who can’t even make up his mind by (supporting) three district maps?

Now, he voted for a district map that splits the Pier Bowl in two. This is what we get for voting for someone who is not a long-term resident of San Clemente and does not know our neighborhoods. When we elect someone to City Council next time, we need to ignore all the garbage political flyers endorsing someone and dig below the surface to see how much

they really know about San Clemente. Cabral is a huge disappointment.

CABRAL FLIPS LIKE OLYMPIC GYMNAST JOE & KATHY OWENS, San Clemente Please, enough letters about Councilmember Knoblock! You may not like his political or religious views, but he is the most principled and experienced councilmember we have. All this letter writing about Knoblock is taking away from the real issue in San Clemente, and that is about our new mayor, Cabral.

Cabral has flip-flopped so many times on which district map is correct that he really needs to join the Olympic gymnastics team.

Initially, he voted for Map 109, which splits the historic Pier Bowl; then he voted for Map 120, which corrected that; then he voted for Map 111 (and became mayor), which splits Southwest San Clemente, Riviera District, Forster Ranch and the Business Park; then he voted once again for Map 109.

Cabral has been asleep at the wheel, as he failed to immediately recognize that rocks instead of sand were being thrown on our beaches for sand replenishment. Go take a look at

Page 8

the beach; it is a disaster. He has failed to get the homeless encampment resolved at the south end of town, and he has advocated to increase our property parcel taxes, as he stated in a recent San Clemente Times article. And at the last City Council meeting, he introduced a new regulation to limit our Free Speech, 1st Amendment Rights, to pull an item from the Consent Calendar in order to discuss it. This Right of Free Speech has been in effect for many years, which has been honored by previous City Councils.

We need to start a recall of Mayor Cabral before we are faced with more disasters on his agenda.

GUEST OPINION | On Life and Love After 50 by Tom Blake

Remembering Super Bowl II

A

s the countdown continues to Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11, I can’t help but think back to January 14, 1968 – 56 years ago – when I had a weekend date with two of the most beautiful women in the world at Super Bowl II in Miami.

At that time, I was a regional manager of public relations for American Airlines, working at the company’s headquarters at 633 Third Avenue in New York City.

Four days before the Green Bay Packers met the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II, American Airlines’ Vice President of Public Relations, a distinguished man named Holmes Brown, summoned me to his office.

He said, “Tom, I just got off the phone with the president of American Express. He invited our two world stewardess queens, Patty Paulsen and Jill Spavin, to be their guests this weekend at the Super Bowl festivities. I can’t allow Patty and Jill to go alone. I need an American Airlines escort to go with them to be sure they are safe and treated with dignity.

“As the only single man in our department, you are the logical choice. I would like you to go. Will you?”

Trying to act cool and nonchalant, I said, “Love to,” although I couldn’t believe my ears.

He patted me on the back and peeled five one-hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and handed them to me, saying, “All expenses are prepaid; however, I want you to have money in case you need to pick up a tab. I want American Airlines to always look good.”

On Friday night, Patty, Jill, and I flew to Miami. A representative from Amex picked us up at the airport and took us to the hotel.

For the next three days, my focus was to keep them safe (and trust me, only that!). I was a single man accompanied by two World Stewardess Queens.

Of course, it was an incredible weekend. I remember the three of us riding on a chartered bus from our hotel to the game with other guests of Amex.

I was in the back of the bus sitting next to a young kid named Mike Garrett, the 1965 Heisman Trophy winner from USC. He was at that time a running back for the Kansas City Chiefs, who years later became the athletic director of USC for 17 years. He asked me what was in the cooler on the back seat of the bus.

I said, “Chilled beer.” Garrett den was the Raiders linebacker said, “Oh, I wanted a Coca-Cola.” coach; a year later, Madden beThe 50-yard-line ticket stub came the Raiders’ head coach I still have shows a cost of $12. for nine years.

GUEST OPINION | Historical Happenings by Christine Lampert

The Amazing History of Casa Romantica (1934-2024)

O

le Hanson, who master-planned San Clemente, built Casa Romantica as his private home in 1927.

He lost the Casa to a bank foreclosure in 1934 because of The Great Depression. The house survived for over 55 years until the City of San Clemente purchased and restored it as a cultural center that is now open to the public.

This year, we almost lost the Casa to a landslide, but, fortunately, it is being repaired.

The 7,200-square-foot house originally had 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, all on one floor, and was designed in a traditional courtyard shape by architect Carl Lindbom.

After the Bank of America foreclosed on the property, the bank continued to own it for 12 more years. During those years, a Bank of America employee named Thomas M. Walker and his family lived in the house intermittently to maintain it properly.

Also, during the time that the bank owned it, from 1939 to 1942, the house became the Miramonte Beach Club and

was very popular with over 750 members who used it as their clubhouse.

There were plans to build a breakwater that surrounded the pier to create a private yacht harbor, but those plans came to an end when World War II started.

Casa Romantica was officially named in 1946, when the property was sold to Lambert and Nora Schuyler. Mrs Schuyler had lived in Chile, and she loved Spanish architecture, and she named it “Casa Romantica.” She wrote a children’s book about all of the animals that lived on the property. A copy of the book can be found in the Casa’s collection.

In 1952, Fred and Evalyn Waring bought the Casa as their vacation house.

Fred was a popular orchestra leader in Los Angeles, and he often had parties at the Casa for his famous friends. Evalyn was a dancer who had visited the house with Ole’s son, Bill Hanson, in 1928 and had fallen in love with the property at that time. When the Warings divorced, Evalyn remarried Ramiro Santiago, her former dance partner, who had become her Casa gardener and handyman. After

Eight-month-old Sheldon is a quiet little guy who loves the simple things. A soft bed, a few toys, and a sunny window to nap in are all he’s looking for in life.

While Sheldon can be a tad shy at first meeting, he opens up quickly to show off his playful side. He would thrive in a relaxed home with another kitty to show him the ropes.

If you are interested in adopting Sheldon, please visit petprojectfoundation.org/adoptions/ to download an adoption application form. Completed forms can be emailed to animalservices@ scdpanimalshelter.org, and you will be contacted about making an interaction appointment.

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 AND ALL OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES: 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 this sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com using the file number assigned to this case: W22-11038. 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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case W22-11038 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the sale shall be subject to the following as provided in California Civil Code Section 5715: “A non judicial foreclosure sale by an association to collect upon a debt for delinquent assessments shall be subject to a right of redemption. The redemption period within which the separate interest may be redeemed from a foreclosure sale under this paragraph ends 90 days after the sale.” Witkin & Neal, Inc. as said Trustee 5805 SEPULVEDA BLVD., SUITE 670, SHERMAN OAKS, CA 91411 - Tele.: (818) 845-8808 By: SUSAN PAQUETTE, TRUSTEE SALES OFFICER Dated: 01/05/2024 THIS NOTICE IS SENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING A DEBT.

Boys Soccer Remains Unbeaten Through 13 Games

It has been a run of near-perfection for the San Clemente boys soccer team, as the Tritons have their eyes on their first South Coast League championship since 2020 and more lofty goals beyond that.

San Clemente posted its third straight shutout in a scoreless draw at Aliso Niguel on Monday, Jan. 22, to extend its unbeaten run this season to 13 games, with only two goals allowed in five league games.

The Tritons (10-0-3, 4-0-1) allowed just one goal each to Aliso Niguel and Capistrano Valley in their first two league games, a 2-1 home win over the Wolverines and a 4-1 home win over the Cougars. San Clemente has since followed with a 5-0 home win over Mission Viejo, a 4-0 road win at San Juan Hills and Monday’s scoreless draw at Aliso Niguel.

SC SURF

CARISSA MOORE STEPPING AWAY FROM COMPETITIVE SURFING

After winning 5 world titles and capturing an Olympic gold medal, the iconic Hawaiian surfer will be chasing other dreams after 2024 Paris Olympics

BY JAKE HOWARD

O

ne of the most dominant surfers in the history of the sport of surfing, Carissa Moore has announced that she will be leaving the WSL Championship Tour after the upcoming Pipe Pro in Hawaii. The five-time world champion will focus on defending her Olympic gold medal at the 2024 Paris Summer Games this July. After that, it’s into the great, wide open for Moore as she pursues other opportunities outside of a jersey.

“I’m excited to see what else there is, outside the jersey,” Moore said in an official statement released from the WSL. “I don’t like the word retirement. I like to say a departure from the tour, or just stepping back, or switching gears, or, like, evolving.”

From her earliest competitive days among the National Scholastic Surfing Association ranks, where she dominated numerous NSSA Nationals events at Lower Trestles, to her 13 years on the Championship Tour, Moore has been smashing barriers every step of the way. She will always be remembered for her five world titles and 28 Championship Tour victories (including at Lowers in 2015), but more than that, Moore is responsible for elevating the performance levels of women’s surfing through her radical, progressive maneuvers and hard-charging ways in Hawaiian waters.

GROMS OF THE WEEK

COOPER REED

BY JAKE HOWARD

As San Clemente’s Cooper Reed rolls into the new year with all the stoke and momentum in the world, big things are on the horizon in 2024. Most recently, the stylish goofy-footer has made his winter pilgrimage to the North Shore, where he’s been cutting his teeth in the Hawaii power San Clemente Times January 25 - January 31, 2024

“Surfing is a part of who I am, and it always will be. This is by no means the end.

I’d like to think of this instead as an evolution, the start of the next chapter, a new beginning,” Moore shared in a thoughtful piece she wrote for her sponsor, Red Bull, entitled “A Love Letter to Surfing.”

Outside of the jersey, Moore has a heart of gold with a deep love and commitment to her friends, family and community.

Her Moore Aloha Foundation endeavors to empower young women around the world, but especially at home in Hawaii, to chase their dreams and believe in themselves. With a strong connection to her home and the island’s culture, traditions and heritage, Moore will be looking to spend more of her time giving back and uplifting, as the time constraints and rigors of chasing world titles fall away.

“I know who I am, what I want and what is meaningful to me. I am multidimensional. I am a surfer, but I am also a wife, sister, daughter, friend,” Moore continued.

“I want to keep challenging myself in all areas of my life, explore the joy and, most importantly, find ways to share more love.”

The world could use more love, and Moore is just the person to share it. It’s going to be so exciting to see where she goes from here. It is worth noting that Moore was clear that she doesn’t like the word

“retire.” At only 31 years old, perhaps this isn’t the end of her competitive career but, rather, a much-deserved break. Who knows, we may see her compete again sometime in the future. But whatever she does next and wherever she’s headed, she’s undoubtedly going to put her heart and soul into it—and be wildly successful in the process.

“I’ve found that my favorite rides have often come when my heart starts to race a little, there is a tingle of fear, but I paddle over the ledge, anyway,” Carissa explained.

“This is one of those moments that I can feel the butterflies.”

The horizon is wide open for Moore, and those butterflies are sure to carry her forward as she accomplishes more wonderful things and makes this beautiful, blue planet a better place.

and getting plenty of training time in at iconic spots such as Haleiwa. No doubt, the experience and time in the water in the islands will pay off huge as the year progresses.

Reed finished 2023 with a bang. In December, he scored a huge win at the NSSA event in Oceanside, where he topped the podium in the frothing Open Mini Grom division (Under 12). An invaluable member of the Shorecliffs Middle School surf team, when he’s not winning heats for his school, he’s soaking up the motivational

talks from the likes of Griffin and Crosby Colapinto. From one generation to the next, the future of Orange County surfing is strong thanks to prodigious talents like Reed.

The year’s still young, and there’s a lot of surfing left to be done, and with his natural talent, dedicated work ethic and unwavering love of surfing, Reed’s definitely going places in 2024.

The pattern of light/varaible early mornings, followed by mostly light+ afternoon onshores will continue Friday through Sunday.

San Clemente’s NEW SMART Fit Method redefines Active Aging.

San Clemente — The new “Smart Fit Method” opening in San Clemente this month, is a revolutionary new fitness concept geared toward individual growth and personalized workouts.

Clients of all ages and fitness levels get the best stimulus in the minimum effective time to create a maximum response in the body, all while avoiding injury. Unlike the big box gyms, the Smart Fit Method employs data science and sports science, along with the best AI-driven equipment — all monitored by certified personal trainers focused on getting you results.

The Smart Fit Method isn’t just about weight loss, but more about increasing lean muscle mass, bone density and cardiovascular strength while avoiding inflammation. The average person loses 5 pounds of lean muscle mass each decade over the age of 25, as well as 10% of their cardio-capability. At the same time, individuals tend to get busier and have less time to work out. It is widely known that muscle burns 3-4x more calories than fat, so this program focuses on efficient workouts and recovery to build your lean muscle mass.

Smart Cold HIIT (Vasper high-intensity interval training), the centerpiece of the Smart Fit Method, Method packs a two-hour workout into a single 20-minute session utilizing compression technology, cooling, and interval training to create the best efficiency and hormone response. Thanks to its low-impact nature this machine will decrease the wear and tear on the body that naturally comes with exercise.

SMART FIT METHOD is perfect for the 40+ crowd!
