About Us... Council Cont. from P. 1 are, Frank Navarro (District 3), Deirdre Bennett (District 5), and Isaac Suchil (District 6). At the same time, two other elected members representing the City of Colton were re-elected and they are Eileen Gomez (City Clerk) and Aurelio De La Torre (City Treasurer). Before the newly elected officials took their seats at the dais, outgoing council members Vincent Yzaguirre and Alex Perez received plaques and letters of appreciation for their outstanding past work from Congressman Joe Baca, County Supervisor for the 5th District, Chairperson Josie Gonzales and Colton Mayor Sarah Zamora. Congressman Baca pointed out the dedication and sacrifices they went through to represent their constituents and praised them for being able to accomplish the many tasks that they worked on while in office. Ex-councilman Perez thanked Mayor Zamora for showing confidence in his abilities early on and for giving him a helping hand up. Ex- councilman Yzaguirre also praised the Mayor and his colleagues on the council and said, “It has been an honor to work with the Mayor and council on so many different issues that have been so crucial to the ongoing welfare of the City. I wish each of the newly elected council members nothing but the best and I am always available to give them a different perspective on issues, if they so desire. I have enjoyed my time on the Colton council and will cherish the moments shared with each of the council members who were a part of my tenure.” After Congressman Joe Baca Sr. administered the oath of office to the newly elected officers and the Certificate of Election was issued by the City Clerk Eileen Gomez, Mayor Sarah Zamora pinned the City of Colton pin on the lapels of each of the officers and chal- lenged them to continue to wear it, showing their continued service for the citizens of Colton. Once this procedural matter was done, Zamora asked the incoming officers to say a few words about what they saw as their mission for the City would be. Councilman Navarro stated that a new journey is about to begin for him on representing the City of Colton in the best manner possible and serving the Colton citizenry to the best of his abilities. He said, “I’m looking forward to the many challenges that lie ahead and working with all of the council members hand in hand.” Councilman Isaac Suchil said, “I feel alone and nervous up here, but I know that will soon change. I want to thank so many people who have supported me for getting back on the council, but the main support of my life, my lovely wife Regina, has made this all happen for me once again. I love her so much. One of my first goals is to revisit the electrical utility charges being charged to residents and see how we can maybe lower them in the future.” Re-elected council person Deirdre H. Bennett echoed the same thoughts about looking at the high utility charges and seeing how they can be adjusted, and gave her husband Bruce loving recognition for his tireless work representing her in District 5 during the months prior to Election Day. Both the City Treasurer Aurelio De La Torre and City Clerk Eileen Gomez thanked their family and friends for support during their re-election bids, and Eileen said, “I love my job, and I hope to continue to show that in the service I provide to the citizens of Colton for the next four years and beyond.” The City of Colton seems to have a strong quality of elected officials to move them through the different travails that will come upon them in the future months and years. 22797 Barton Road • Grand Terrace, CA 92313 • 909-370-1200 • Fax. 909.825.1116 City News Group, Inc.

City News • County News December 6, 2012 • Page 3 Work on CHS Beautification Project Continues By: Breeanna Jent Work on Colton High School’s (CHS) Beautification Project continues after more than $9,000 has been donated by community members and leaders to assist in the restoration of the city’s first high school. Several beautification projects have been proposed by the CHS student body, including requests for a waterfall, additional trash and recycling bins, the repainting of lunch benches, painted and repaired baseball dugouts, a shade shelter in the outdoors lunch area and a communal garden area which will be maintained by students in the CHS PossAbilities club. The remodeling of a special education classroom to model the inside of an apartment was also proposed. Currently, portions of the school— including the inside of the Ken Hubbs Gymnasium— have been given fresh coats of paint, said Principal Corridan. In addition, plans to erect stone walls in front of the entrance to the high school, as well as the Whitmer Auditorium, are in the works. “With our S-3 Grant,” said Corridan, “half of the things we’ve done are free. We’ve been receiving donations left and right,” she said, adding that most of the project proposals are possible to construct.” With the painting nearly complete, the student projects on the school have started this week, beginning with the landscaping of the area directly in front of the Whitmer Auditorium, which stands near the front main entrance to the school. Next June a Curb Appeal Project, a separate project funded by the Colton Joint Unified Board of Education Facilities Department through Measure G, will commence. This project, complementary to the campus’s Beautification Project, will renew the outside of the school along Valley landmark since 1981, when it was placed in front of the City Hall of the City of San Bernardino. It is considered the first “bigger than life statue” of Dr. King. It now is in serious need of repair and warrants professional renovation and a plan for sustained maintenance. The group quickly recognized that as City funds are not available for the restoration and maintenance of the statue, there must be an effort to raise funds from private and corporate donors, as well as to seek grants and other sources of revenue. “We are also committed to ensuring young and old people alike do not forget Dr. Martin Luther King, his mission and legacy and what the statue stands for: civil rights, equality, co-existence, and respect for the use of power, the struggle, challenge and the plight for the dream to live on,” said Francis Grice, committee member. “Our goal is to have the statue renovated and ready for unveiling at a celebration scheduled for January 2013,” said Grice. The committee is in the process of procuring a contractor for the restoration. The initial renovation will cost approximately $8,500 with an annual maintenance charge of approximately $1,500. The Black Culture Foundation has agreed to use their 501(C)3 as a conduit to raise and disperse the project’s funds. The pressing need to restore the statue to its original condition and to insure its maintenance has become the impetus for public-spirited citizens of the greater San Bernardino area to commit themselves to the following objectives: First, to assure the ongoing maintenance of the statue through the creation of an Endowment, the income from which would be used for the photo courtesy of: CJUSD A rendering of the front of Colton High School’s Whitmer Auditorium depicts a texturized stone walling in front of the auditorium. The wall is a part of the school’s Curb Appeal Project, a seperate project that complements the school-wide Beautification Project. Boulevard and Rancho Avenue. Renovations include concrete, texturized walls near the administration building— the main entrance to the school— which faces Valley Boulevard. Other improvements include the addition of new flora surrounding the school. “With the curb appeal project,” said Corridan, “the wrought iron fence line will be pushed back. Then new, stone walls will be erected in front of Whitmer Auditorium. That same stone will be replicated at the front of the school, at an angle, and it will say ‘Colton High School.’” Additionally, stone seating walls will be placed along the entrance to the Whitmer Auditorium. The Curb Appeal Project will also extend to the Hubbs Gym, where the chain-link fence which currently stands in front of the building will be removed, and new landscaping will be done. Corridan shared that reports indicate that the Curb Appeal Project should conclude by next fall, in time for the 2013-2014 school year. Local Organizations Stand in Financial Gap to Repair Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Statue in San Bernardino Local groups and community leaders are working together to improve San Bernardino’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. statue, a city landmark since 1981. Dr. Martin Luther King’s statue is showing wear. The 11-foot tall historic monument is deteriorating, the coating of paste wax has dulled, and the base is cracked. To solve the problem, more than 30 local groups and community leaders have come together to carry out the sole mission of “Saving the MLK Statue.” The Martin Luther King, Jr. monument has been a treasured maintenance of the statue including providing adequate insurance. Second, to develop a master plan for the beautification and enhancement of the area immediately surrounding the statue including attractive landscaping. Third, to create an educational component to the statue that would be used by schools in their teaching of American history, attract visitors, and serve to develop a greater appreciation of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Last, to develop a master plan for the beautification and enhancement of the entire City Hall plaza area with the aim being to make it a tourist attraction.

I know I do. I was four years old. We lived in Des Moines, Iowa. I found out that my parents had planned a trip to California to spend Christmas with family in Mentone. I immediately went into panic mode. How could they? What about Santa? He will come to our house on Christmas Eve and no one will be home! Will he leave presents? Will he just move on to the next house? This will never do! I must have made quite a fuss about this. My mother and father, brother and sister came up with quite a plan for my benefit. I have never forgotten, and appreciate, what they did for me that Christmas season. It was a week before Christmas. My mother said to me, and to my brother and sister, “We need to get down to the basement right now!” She herded us down into the basement and we sat on the stairs with the lights out. I remember wondering what in the world was going on. Suddenly I heard from inside the house some jingling of bells, stomping of feet across the floor, and a big, “Ho Ho Ho!” Could it be? Was Santa here early? I remember jumping up to run upstairs and my brother almost tackling me to keep me there. Finally I heard Santa say in a low, belly-like voice, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” We went back upstairs and there were the gifts under the tree! My parents had contacted Santa and got him to come early. Who knew? One last part to my story. It wasn’t until many years later that it occurred to me: Where was my father while Santa visited our home? I bet you can guess!

What these individuals have learned is that success is a product of Mind Realignment. When the mind changes, so does everything else in our lives. We must realign our minds so that we may chart a new course on the road to excellence. Of his many philosophies, Dr. Massey encourages his clients to adopt is a simple yet life changing concept called the Sun Philosophy. Although we speak of the sunrise and sunset, the truth is there is no such thing. The sun does not set so it has no need to rise. Just as the sun is always shining despite the clouds, rain, fog, or darkness that blankets the earth, we too can develop these principles and practices to be a beacon of light to help guide the paths of others. Those who adopt the Sun Philosophy do not abandon their duty and stand ground regardless of the consequences. They remain responsible in spite of other’s lack of responsibility. Just as the sun creates solar power to generate energy, they always energize and empower others. They do not allow their environment to dictate their conduct. Instead, they continue to shine during the rainstorms of life. Without the sun there would be no rainbows. By adopting the Sun Philosophy, you can be a positive force in the lives of others, shedding rays of light onto the world around you and watching everything around you grow. Are you a positive force within your circles of friends and family? Do you make others feel special and important? Do you defend your values despite pressure to abandon your principles? When you realign your mind you can answer yes to these questions. If you want to learn more of these simple, lifechanging concepts to change your life and realize your full potential, read “Mind Realignment for Excellence - Naked Secrets for Building a Better You.” It includes short, simple to read chapters geared for busy professionals who want to change their lives. Dr. Massey has implemented these lessons into his Mind Realignment for Excellence Seminars for business owners and their teams. If you want your leadership team and staff to take your company to the next level of excellence, call today at 661-304-1080 and schedule a Mind Realign- ment Training seminar for your business. Dr. Massey is the owner of several businesses, including Massey Health Insurance Services and Financial Planning Corporation, as well as the Rose Villa elderly care community in Grand Terrace. He has served as President of the San Bernardino Crossroads Rotary for two years and served the U.S. government for over 25 years in the field of public health. He says he has had no greater success in life than when he has helped to make positive differences in the lives of others. You too can be a force of success, positivity, and greatness by learning what it takes to realign your thinking in order to achieve excellence.

Beneath the pretty decorations lie enchanting mysteries that emerge oneby-one to the delight of the recipient. The personal aspects of a gift basket are also endearing. You can customize a gift basket to the occasion (holiday, birthday, retirement, etc.) and tastes of the recipient, and taking the time to do so shows your thoughtfulness and caring. Building a great gift basket can be fun and easy. The gift experts at Crack- er Barrel Old Country Store offer some advice for putting together a gift basket that will charm any recipient: The first steps begin by deciding what to put in the gift basket - packaged food, gourmet coffees, collegiate items, apparel, candles, personal care items like soaps or lotions, cooking utensils, books, jewelry, home decor items, gardening tools, ornaments, picture frames, etc. Practically any hobby or area of interest can be an inspiration for a gift basket. Base your choice on the recipient’s personality and interests. Next, choose a container. Baskets, of course, are the classic container, but don’t overlook other options, es- Injury Law. Anderson, Armenta & Associates is located in Pasadena and serves clients from throughout Southern California. On Dec. 2, the Armenta Family hosted a community reception in recognition of Armenta’s recent appointment as Partner. The community reception was hosted at the Upland Hills Country Club.

For example, load a toy football helmet with items inspired by your recipient’s favorite football team. A large stockpot can be ideal for holding cooking utensils for a foodie or budding chef. A planter makes a useful and decorative container for gardening tools. Arranging items Once you’ve chosen the perfect container, think about how you’ll arrange the items that go in it. First, add some decorative shredding (available in craft stores, or make your own with colored paper and a paper shredder) to help stabilize items in the container and make it look even more attractive. Then, follow these rules of thumb for arranging items: * Place tallest items in the back. If you’re using a round container, choose a side to serve as a visual “back.” * Moving forward, stair step the rest of your items from tall to short. It’s OK if the rows are not perfectly straight or even. In fact, a little variance in the arrangement will make the basket look even more appealing. * Be sure to place packaged items with the most interesting side facing forward so it’s immediately visible. For example, if you’ve included a bag of the recipient’s favorite coffee, make sure the brand name is showing so he or she photo courtesy of: BPT Let your creative expressions come to life as you build a personal gift basket. Your family and friends will be touched by your unique items and arrangements. will be able to tell at a glance what’s in the basket. * Be careful not to completely hide any items. It’s fine to have things peeping through here or there, but avoid burying anything on the bottom. Buried items could potentially get lost and tossed out with the shredding. * If you need to hold items in place, secure them using some glue lines or glue dots (also available in craft stores.) Fitting everything snugly is the key. The finishing touches Once your basket is artful- ly filled, place the entire container in a large cellophane bag. Gather the bag above the contents of the basket, then tie a bow at the narrowest part of the gathered bag. For smaller containers, pull the corners of the bag under the container and tape them. Trim any excess bag at the top. You can either hand-deliver your gift basket, which gives you the instant gratification of seeing the surprise and happiness on your loved one’s face, or ship it if that’s more convenient and practical. When shipping, be sure to package your basket securely.

When Travel Tips for a Safe and Joyful Holiday Season (BPT) - You’ve managed to navigate the holiday crowds at the post office, the mall and the office party, but you still need to get over the river and through the woods to gatherings with family and friends. Before you hit the roads, rails or skies this holiday season, dash through these helpful tips to make your trip as jolly as possible and, while you’re away, help you get a good night’s sleep. Be prepared: Don’t forget the necessities for the inevitable travel delay when packing your luggage and gifts. Pack each child a personal travel bag with surprise snacks, new books, small toys, art supplies and a travel-sized blanket and pillow. Bring yourself a book, crossword puzzle or correspondence to catch up on. Whether it’s a cancelled f light, delayed train or road construction, planning ahead to keep your family occupied during these hold- photo courtesy of: BPT Take time to organize your travel plans to remove stress from this holiday season. Make your travel time an enjoyable experience to remember for years. ups ensures you will all arrive at your destination in a festive mood. Avoid the lines: Fly at non-peak hours by booking an early morning f light or a late night red-eye when airports tend to be less crowded. Pre-printing your boarding pass at home allows you to bypass the ticketing agent and self-serve kiosk. If you don’t have to check luggage, you can proceed directly to the security checkpoint. Pack lightly by planning outfits that can be mixed and matched and save on checked baggage fees because, face it, you always Click With Confidence: Three Tips to Protect Your Cyber Privacy When Shopping Online (BPT) - If the growing online shopping statistics from the past few years have been any indication, buyers will again be flocking to online retailers this holiday season - perhaps in larger numbers than ever before. However, as people become increasingly savvier as Web shoppers, awareness and concerns about online privacy and safety have also grown. As many as 91 percent of consumers say that they’re concerned about privacy when shopping online. Frequent news stories about consumer information being sold or mishandled have helped contribute to an atmosphere of mistrust, and more than half of consumers say they don’t trust businesses with their personal information. For those who love the convenience and choice that come along with online shopping, there are a few ways to ensure that your information is kept safe and private. 1. Read privacy policies. You’ve probably seen them countless times, but how often have you actually read a privacy policy? If you’ve shopped without reading, you’re certainly not alone. While 97 percent of websites have a privacy policy, those documents average nearly 2,500 words - which is almost twice as long as the Declaration of Independence. It would take the average person at least 10 minutes to read that, and not too many online shoppers want to spend that much time. However, reading the privacy policy will give you the details about what a site is doing to keep your information safe. 2. Adjust your privacy settings. With a bit of tweaking, you can adjust your cookies and make your computer more protected and cut down on inadvertent data leakage. However, be prepared to spend some time doing this, and remember that each browser is different. If you use multiple browsers on multiple computers, you’ll need to configure them all to your preferences. If making those changes is beyond the scope of your technological knowledge, you can try asking for help from a savvy friend or family member, or an electronics store employee might be able to help.

To prepare for their arrival you may be tempted to just clean the kitchen counters, toss a few extra towels in the guest bathroom and ignore the rest of the house. Instead, your visitors will enjoy the party more if they have full access to an open, organized and welcoming home. Knowing where to start is the most important thing. Lifestyle guru Susie Coelho has provided entertaining tips for the home on HGTV, “Oprah,” “Today” and “The View” and knows just what to do. Tip No. 1: Food can make or break a celebration. Start your preparations by stocking the bar and cleaning the kitchen. Set the table or buffet before people arrive. There is a good chance some of the seating for your gathering will be located in the kitchen area. Make certain the kitchen is clean and the sink area is cleared of all food prep materials. If your garbage disposal has an odor, your guests will be sure to notice. Before the party starts, drop in a Power Pack of Liquid-Plumr Disposal + Drain Foaming Cleaner and run the disposal. The fresh citrus scent indicates your disposal is cleaned and deodorized, eliminating the chance of an embarrassing lingering smell being sensed by your guests. “If you decide to host a holiday event or New Year’s Eve party, ask your guests to participate by bringing an appetizer on a decorative platter. This will add different flavors to your event and help encourage conversations about the combination of foods prepared,” Coelho says.- Also, encourage them to match the theme of the gathering, like chips and salsa for a Mexican-themed party or olives, hummus and pita bread for a Greek-themed party. Tip No. 2: Once the space is clean and the food is ready, add simple decor to make the space warm and inviting. When decorating the seating and buffet areas, Coelho suggests going simple with tea lights in glass votive jars and choosing a one or two-tone color palette for dishes, napkins and flowers. “For beautiful ambiance and magical lighting, arrange candles down the center of the table,” she says. “If you want to add some greenery among them for the holidays, you can, but keep it simple.” In addition to the candles as centerpieces, Coelho also recommends making the food part of the display as well. “Contrast is a buffet’s best friend and you can find it in different heights, sizes, colors of the food, dishes and accessories. I have used everything from fabrics, herbs and pottery to flowers, candles and vases, turned over a dish to get height and used an odd container for display,” she says. Tip No. 3: The more room you have to mingle, the merrier everyone will be. As people start making themselves comfortable, they won’t just stay in the kitchen. Having all areas of the house clean and open will invite guests to gather and socialize, keeping the party going longer. One room your guests will be sure to visit is the bathroom. Make certain you have the room stocked with plenty of paper products as well as soap and hand lotion. Consider also placing a decorative candle in the room to add a festive glow for ambiance. Most importantly, be prepared for clogged drains in the bathroom and kitchen sinks, which could disrupt the flow of the party. “A clogged sink drain always comes at the wrong time,” says Coelho. “To avoid these inconvenient (BPT) - If you are like most Americans, you will likely spend an average of $764 on gifts alone this holiday season, according to a Gallup survey. When totaling up the cost of gifts with extra trips to the grocery store, dinners out to toast the season and travel costs to visit loved ones, you’re looking at quite a holiday spending spree. While we all recognize that we spend a little extra during the holiday season, there are ways to give yourself a present this season and have your money working for you. With a little savvy planning, families can lessen the burden of holiday expenses on their budgets and earn some added value with their purchases. “Not everyone has to shop for a family of eight like me, but no matter what size your family, those holiday expenses can quickly add up,” says Colleen Burns, a savings expert, who is also known as “The Mom on the Run” and Shell spokesperson. “The good news is there are always things you can do to keep your costs down without sacrificing all those fun gifts, meals and travel plans.” Here are a few tips for keeping your holiday expenses down this year: Choose your food wisely: When grocery shopping, consider alternating frozen, canned or dried items for fresh ones to help reduce costs. These items often have the same - or even better nutritional values as fresh foods because they’re pro- cessed quickly. When eating out, choose a lunch item rather than a more expensive dinner entree option. Earn rewards: Take advantage of loyalty programs that help you earn rewards for significant savings. One example, the new Fuel Rewards Network program, or FRN program, allows you to earn rewards on everyday purchases that are redeemable for potentially huge fuel savings at participating Shell stations. Here’s how it works: when shopping for clothes, household supplies or even holiday gifts online, simply go to the Online Mall found on fuelrewards.com to find your favorite brand name online retailers like BestBuy.com and jcpenney. You can earn 5 cents per gallon in Fuel Rewards savings for every $50 you spend, with some online merchants offering two times, five times, 10 times rewards or more so you can multiply your savings even faster. You can also earn additional rewards when dining at participating local restaurants, grocery shopping at participating grocery stores and when using eCoupons downloaded from fuelrewards.com. While the average saving is around 32 cents per gallon according to fuelrewards. com, some savvy consumers have saved really big and paid just pennies per gallon on Shell fuel. You can learn more and sign up for the free FRN program by picking up an FRN Card at a participating Shell station and activating it online at fuelrewards. com. You can also request an FRN Card online at fuelrewards.com during the sign up process. Program availability and ways to save vary by location. Comparison shop: Let technology do the hard part for you - try one of those handy shopping apps to compare prices so you know exactly where to go to find the best deals. You can check out pricing and deals at home or on your mobile device - perfect for people on the go. Check labels: Always read the tags and labels on what you purchase. When shopping for clothes, avoid purchasing clothing with tags that stipulate dry clean only. The ongoing cost of cleaning the garment will quickly exceed the original price. And at the grocery store, always look for an expiration date to avoid wasting food and photo courtesy of: BPT Preparing your entire house for entertainment starts in the kitchen.

Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. 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.

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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA09003001-12-1.

Some people favor an elegant, restrained sprinkling of lights around a door, while others go for a more exuberant display of illumination on virtually every surface. The American Lighting Association (ALA) offers some holiday lighting tips and ideas: Make your home’s entrance a priority. The front door is more than just the entryway into your home; it’s also a welcoming first impression for family and friends. Start by adding a few, easy-toinstall landscape uplights to highlight trees and shrubs, or path lighting to illuminate a sidewalk or driveway. “Tree lighting uses the heights of trees to spread the light out in a soft and subtle way to bathe the area in light,” says Richard Lentz, owner of Dallas-based Lentz Landscape Lighting and its interiors division Lentz Services. Do-it-yourself tip: Go for low-voltage landscape lights, which are easy to install and consume less energy. Add drama with colorchanging lights. Newer LED lights can add custom color scenes that complement a specific holiday decorating mood. You can produce the exact ambiance you room. “It’s often the smallest room, yet if you measure the worth of the powder room by the amount of traffic a room gets per square foot, the powder room could easily be the most valuable space in your house,” says Rick Wiedemer, president of Hinkley Lighting. A few simple, extra touches, such as a portable lamp with a colored shade, will make a huge impact. $39 Service Call AC • Heating • Refrigeration Service • Repair • Installation Ice Machines • Freezers • Walk-Ins photo courtesy of: BPT The right lighting can create an inviting appeal to your home this holiday season. From the soft and subtle tree height lighting to your driveway and entrance area specific lighting, the right lighting creates ambiance. like at any moment during your party or gathering this season. Colors can be changed at the push of a button without changing the fixture, making these products useful year round. Use lighting to create a focal point. Lights can draw attention to virtually anything - a centerpiece, buffet, unusual decoration - which helps guests know where to focus their eyes. Add portable spotlights as highlights. These small, inexpensive fixtures typically work with a tabletop dimmer and can create pretty silhouettes, particularly under a Christmas tree, shining up through the branches. * Illuminate corners. When decorating with G N I 3 F 9 2 O80-4 O R 8 lights for the holidays, make your space feel larger by placing spotlights in room corners to illuminate dark spaces. Swap out lighting accents. Replacing a neutral lampshade with one that is red or gold will soften the light and create a pretty atmosphere when decorating with lights for the holidays. Replace a chandelier’s crystal teardrops with gold, silver or red glass balls, or add a few shade charms, available at many craft stores, to add some sparkle and fun. “One of the great things about this time of year, when there are a lot of festive gatherings, is that it’s all right to break away from a few traditions and try some new things with lighting and decorating,” says Wind Damage (Special) So Cal Concrete $7500 Specializing in Texture and Color Repairs starting at B'S BO ) 9 (90 Century ails det r l foSince 1978 l a C Lic# 384575 www.
