Have you tried e-mail to local libraries ?  Someone in a message board post with extensive information - September 2013

I looked in the Los Angeles Times and Orange Co. Register and saw nothing. 

I agree that contacting a local library may be the best bet.  Not every newspaper is online, and local people may know what paper was likely to be used in that area.  There's a contact form here - http://www.ocpl.org/libloc/brea/contact_the_brea_library

Try a couple of RAOGK volunteers for Orange County on this link -one of them will do look-ups in local libraries (Orange County, California)
