Smiley Wang-Ekvall / Hilton?

K raig C. Kilger, partner with SmileyWang-Ekvall,today announced thesuccessful completion of a $140 …

“Smiley Wang-Ekvall, LLP, an OrangeCounty-based law firm specializing in realestate transactions, and business litigation,today announced the successful completionof a $140 million financing and land acqui-

sition transaction negotiated on behalf of itsclient, The Mayer Corporation and its affili-ates, owners and operators of The WaterfrontBeach Resort, a Hilton Hotel, located on Pa-cific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach.

The multifaceted transaction included theclient's purchase of fee title to the existingHilton land and an adjacent 3.5 acre expan-sion parcel, the refinancing of an existingloan, and the procurement of construction fi-nancing to expand the existing resort ontothe adjacent parcel. Kraig C. Kilger, partner with Smiley Wang-Ekvall, worked in part-

nership with the City of Huntington Beach,the State of California, and a team of profes-sionals and consultants, to successfully closethis transaction.

"The completion of this transaction is theresult of a diligently managed and highly-collaborative process with the City and our client's lender, Pacific Life, which ensured

that all critical components were in align-ment with state and local requirements andour client's objectives," said Kilger. "Thedeal not only marks a significant develop-ment project for Orange County, but also fa-cilitates our client's ability to further investin the coastal Orange County hospitalitymarket by ensuring its long term holdings onthe property."

The expansion, which will break ground onor before early March 2016, will add 151 ad-ditional guest suites, a ballroom, meetingsroom, restaurant, spa and pool deck, and out-

door event space, nearly doublingthe resort's current size.

"As a family operated business,The Mayer Corporation takes great pride in its legacy in OrangeCounty and in building propertiesthat serve as exceptional tourismdestinations and economic driversfor the local economy," saidRobert L. Mayer, Jr., Chairman of The Mayer Corporation. "The expansion of The Waterf ront BeachResort will enable us to enhanceour services and accommodations,and expand our contribution totourism in Surf City USA, Hunt-ington Beach, California."

At a Car Dealership:"The best way to get back on your feet

- miss a car payment.INSPIRATIONSitting at My Computer

I was sitting at the computer the

other day, drafting my will, and I

called out to my daughter who was

visiting with the kids,"WHEN I

DIE, I'M GOING TO LEAVE

EVERYTHING TO YOU, MY

LOVE !!" She shouted back, "YOU

ALREADY DO, YOU SON OF A

GUN!

According to

a psycholo-

gist, your

ability to flip be-

tween seeing a rabbit

and a duck in the

drawing is indicative

of your creative

prowess.

FUN

This is Poppy, I bought her as a

present for my wife as birthday

surprise last week. Sadly it turns

out that she has an allergy to dogs. so

its sad to say she has to go and hope-

fully someone out there may be able to

give her a new home.......Her name is

Patricia, she’s 55, good personality and

not a bad cook

POPPYI Did Not Know This - Did You

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination

would sometimes knock the im- bibers out for a couple of days. Some-one walking along the road would takethem for dead and prepare them for

burial. They were laid out on thekitchen table for a couple of days andthe family would gather around and eatand drink and wait and see if theywould wake up. Hence the custom of ''Holding a Wake''.

I left a note for a lady friend...to prepare dinner

recently:

"Shepherds Pie needs to be taken out of the fridge

and placed in the oven at 140 degrees".

My LadyFriend

The President walked into the bank to cash a check. As he ap- proached the cashier he said,"Good morning Ma'am, couldyou please cash this check for me?

Cashier: "It would be my pleasure sir. Would you pleaseshow me your ID?"

President: "Truthfully, I did

not bring my ID with me as Ididn't think there was any needto. I am the President, the Pres-ident of the United States of AMERICA !!!!"

President: "Yes sir, I knowwho you are, but with all theregulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostorsand forgers and requirements of the Dodd-Frank legislation,etc., I must insist on seeingyour ID.

President: "Just ask anyonehere at the bank who I am andthey will tell you.Everybody knowswho I am."

President:"I am sorryMr. President but these arethe bank rulesand I must fol-

low them."

President: "I order you to cash this check!"

Cashier: "Look Mr. Presi-dent, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he wasTiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautifulshot across the bank into a cup.With that shot we knew him to

be Tiger Woods and cashed hischeck. Another time, Andre

Agassi came in withoutID. He pulled out his

tennis racquet andmade a fabulousshot whereas thetennis ball landedin my cup. Withthat shot we

cashed his check.

So, Mr. President,what can you do to prove that it is you, and

only you, as the President of theUnited States?"

President: He stands therethinking, and thinking, and fi-nally says, "Honestly, I can'tthink of a single thing. I don'thave a clue what to do."

Cashier: "Will that be largeor small bills, Mr. President?"

Tree Society & Volunteers Making HBa Better Place to Live

The Huntington Beach Tree So-ciety recently worked withvolunteers from Pacific Life

and Edison High School Kiwin's toclean up and plant native vegetation

at Overlook Park, near Seapoint and

Garfield in Huntington Beach.Twenty-five volunteers joyfully la- bored together to clean up trash,weed out invasive plants, spreadmulch and plant native coyote bushand oak trees, so the area overlookingthe Oil Fields, Bolsa Chica Wetlandsand Pacific Ocean would look morenatural.

"It's a really fun way to help the en-vironment and community," saidMichele Townsend of Pacific Life,"and It's good exercise!" This wasone of 156 events (more than 10,000volunteer hours) that Pacific Life em-

ployees contribute too on their owntime every year. "It's wonderful being

out in the fresh air working as ateam," said Townsend, who was

joined by 14 of her co-workers.Another group, Edison High

School Kiwin's, likewise shared inthe digging, cutting and mulching."We love working with the HB TreeSociety, helping make our city

healthier and a more beautiful place,"said enthusiastic senior, MichelleHwang, who was joined by five other dedicated women students fromKiwin's, a part of HB Kiwanis.

With the help of volunteers, the Tree

Society has already planted more than5,000 trees at Central Park, Mead-owlark Golf Course, Gibbs ButterflyPark, along Main Street, in the UrbanForest, Central Park Drive and else-where. "Today's volunteers are so fullof energy, dedication, hard work andgreat gardening. We're so thankful for their assistance," said Jean Nagy, HBTree Society President, who was

joined by her longtime helper Ann An-derson. "To make all our projects suc-cessful, we rely on the wonderfulvolunteers from Pacific Life, Kiwin's,Boy Scouts, Boeing and other groups.They're our lifeblood, who makeHuntington Beach a better, healthier

place, not only for this generation butfor the next!"

reasonable prices. A fun thing to do while in Old

Town Las Vegas is the SlotZilla Las Vegas Zip

Spring Break is a great opportunity to go outand explore with the free time away from classes.Whether it is a travel break or simply hanging

with friends at a nearby hot spot."

Top 3 Destinations

Dr. James L. Snyder

R ight up front let me saythat in no way am I su- perstitious (knock-on-

wood). I am the kind of person

who believes in the practicalside of life. One plus one equalstwo and that is the way I like tolive my life. No common coremath for me.

I don’t like to propagate theidea that one place ismore important than an-other. I think everythingshould be on equalstanding. If it is goodfor one person, it maynot be good for another person. There is theapple fritters side, then

there is the broccoliside and the twain shallnever meet.

That being said, acertain issue has devel-oped between the Gra-cious Mistress of theParsonage and YoursTruly. The area of theissue has to do with sa-cred areas within our house. She has rulesand those rules needto be obeyed, not ne-gotiated.

How many times I have gotteninto trouble thinking that her rules were simply approxima-tions that could be negotiatedunder good terms. Wrong!

Certain areas in our home areconsidered sacred, at least fromher viewpoint. And may theheavens shutter in thunder if Iviolate one of her sacred areas.

Through the years, we havenegotiated a little in one areaand that is that my study anddesk is off limits to her. Thishas been a great trial on her part. Several occasions she has

tried to violate this agreement, but I have always come back with this, “You touch mythings and I’ll touch your

things!” It has worked so far.I can understand all of these

“sacred areas” in our home. I donot question it in the least, anagreement is an agreement.

I do, however, have some problems with one sacred areain our home. That area is the re-frigerator. I have been warnedtime and time again that I am to“stay out of the refrigerator.”

My defense is simply that I

never, ever get“in” the refrigerator. So, techni-cally, I am staying out of the re-frigerator.

Ha ha ha. The other occupantof our blissful domicile, how-ever, does not find that in theleast bit humorous. At least I try.

If my wife would not be sucha great cook, I would not be at-tracted to the refrigerator. The best meals that we ever have arewhat some refer to as “left-overs.” Nothing is more deli-cious than these “leftovers”from some fantastic meal thathas been prepared.

Sometimes I do not wait for these “leftovers” to migratefrom the refrigerator to the din-ing room table.

Often I will hear, “What happened to that potato salad I hadin the refrigerator?”

Well, to be honest, it migratedfrom the refrigerator to my

stomach and all I can say, “Itwas delicious.”

However, sacred is sacred andI am trying to understand thather idea of sacred is what runsour household.

The apostle Paul understoodthis idea of sacred.

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the HolyGhost which is in you, which yehave of God, and ye are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19).

The most sacred area is my body and if I am a Christian, belongs to God. Violating thatsacred area, I am answerableto God.

Stanley Kubrick gave her the title role in "Lolita" (1962) when she was just 14,

after which she sang background on Nelson Riddle's "Lolita Ya Ya." But as SueLyon grew older, her parts got smaller. She married a Colorado prison inmate in

1973, but divorced him after he escaped from prison and robbed a bank. Now 68,

Lyons quit show business in 1980 and has lived quietly in Los Angeles ever since.

When MLB Commissioner RobManfred suspended Yankees’ re-liever Aroldis Chapman he made

a statement that resonated throughout thesports world.

Chapman was suspended without pay for 30 games for violating Major League Baseball's newJoint Policy on DomesticViolence, Sexual Assaultand Child Abuse whichhad been negotiated withand agreed to by the play-ers’ union. The suspen-sion was unprecedented

and it may be just the be-ginning of a crackdownon player misbehavior, or rather, to call it what it re-ally is, criminal activityagainst another human being. Any time someone – anyone, not just an ath-lete – physically abusesanother person it’s acrime.

According to a policereport, last October Chapman was accused of physical abuse by his girlfriendand then proceeded to lock himself in his garage where he fired eight shots.Beyond the call to the police and the shots fired by Chapman, the facts of what

happened that evening are in dispute. Chapman denies that he harmed hisgirlfriend in any way that night. No witnesses have come forward and no video

has been released, ala Ray Rice. Yet Chapman accepted his suspension – andloss of more than $1.8 million in pay – without an appeal. For him to do that,something untoward must have happened.

Chapman is unlikely to be the last MLB player to be suspended under thenew policy. Colorado Rockies’ shortstop Jose Reyes is currently on paid leaveas he awaits an April 4 trial for allegedly assaulting his wife in Hawaii lastOctober. Manfred will wait until the courts conclude their case against Reyes, but if he’s found guilty, his suspension could dwarf Chapman’s, perhaps inthe range of 100 games.

There were reports that MLB’s lawyers and Chapman’s counsel negotiatedfor a week before the suspension was announced. No surprise there, as both parties had a lot at stake. Chapman will be a free agent at the end of year,thanks to the fact that the penalty was less than 45 games. Had it reached thatlevel he would not have been eligible for free agency until 2017, perhaps cost-

ing him millions of dollars. So both parties had something to gain in avoidingan appeal. MLB doesn’t risk the suspension being overturned and Chapmanremains on track for free agency.

So the Yankees won, as did Chapman, who in addition to being eligible for free agency after the season will earn $9.5 million this year despite his suspension. And thanks to Manfred, maybe we all win. Domestic violence iseverywhere, not just in sports. Manfred’s decision sent a clear message:Abusers won’t be tolerated in baseball. As Bob Dylan’s seminal song sug-gests, “The Times They Are a Changin.’”

NEWSEPTI NG’S WORLDOnly Local News

Chris Epting

Ihad the privilege of speaking at theSunset Beach woman’s club lastweek. Aside from the delightful

company and well prepared lunch, Iwas also pleasantly surprised to dis-cover the wonderful history wheretheir meetings are held each month.Located in Sunset Beach onBayview, just a stone’s throwfrom Captain Jack’s restaurant,the clubhouse is actually aformer Army surplusmedical building. Itwas purchasedin 1948 for $1000 and theclub’s membersand their husbands

donated their time and hard work in andrepairing and making the building us-able as a clubhouse. A great deal of work went into making it usable as aclubhouse. As is noted in their history,“the club received the Josephine Sea-man award in recognition of their out-standing achievement.” The clubhouseis used by other organizations in thecommunity and serves as a centralmeeting Place.

The Sunset Beach Women’s Club, Ingeneral, has an important history all itsown. Since being organized in 1929, ithas been an integral part of the commu-nity and over the years, in order to evenhave a clubhouse, many ladies give their

time, talent and energy to earn moneyfrom food sales, Turkey raffles, card par-ties and white elephant sales. They alsomade quilts, aprons, sun bonnets, dress

forms and gave the swimming lessons.This Club supports many worthwhilecauses, including scholarships for localarea students, and works for the better-ment of Sunset Beach. It is still goingstrong today with 75 members.

After speaking at the luncheon, Idrove around Sunset Beach to absorbsome of its other history. If you didn’tknow, (and as will soon be included in

a walking tour/map I’m helping to writeright now), Sunset Beach was subdi-vided and the map approved on Sep-tember 6, 1904. A syndicate then purchased the property and lots weresold under the name Sunset Land andWater Company. In 1905, there wereno roads and the only way to get to andfrom Sunset Beach was the PacificElectric Railway, which ran down thecenter of Sunset Beach. Brochureswere printed and distributed to real es-tate offices in Los Angeles stating thefine points of Sunset Beach: still water for boating, beaches and surf, drinkingwater from artesian wells and lots sell-ing at a price range of $250 to $700.This campaign was quite successful

and about 30 houses were started thefollowing year.

I’ll be following this column oncethe map is printed with some more of the history of Sunset Beach, but in themeantime, thank you again to ladies of the Sunset Beach Women’s Club andfor the generous offer to return. I prom-ise to take them up on that.
