By Tim WilliamsThe mere mention of Faberge` is synonymous

with regal, aristocratic opulence, a decadence sur-rounded by sheer majesty of a glamorous lifestyle. So began the legacy of the artistry of Faberge`. What began in 1885 was a tradition that lasted over 30 years and became one of the worlds most sought after works of art. The Imperial Faberge` Egg crafted individually by Gustav and later by his son Peter are to this day so precious that most of the remaining eggs are only shown in some of the worlds finest museums. The other remaining few are with wealthy collectors of fine art.

There were only 57 Imperial Faberge` Eggs made with only 49 still known to exist. When each egg was commissioned by the Tsar of Russia at the time most of these eggs were so well crafted it took about a year to complete each one. Within each one there was a surprise like a hanging ruby or diamond. When an Egg was presented to each Tsar from 1885 to 1916 by either Gustav or his son Peter they were the only ones who knew what was inside each Egg. The very first was presented to Alexander III to give to his wife as gift for Easter. As a result the Faberge` Egg became the ideal gift for all nobility and especially the Tsar’s royal family. The House of Faberge` not only made the Imperial Eggs but other exquisite jewelry and clocks. All of which are still some of the worlds finest, most sought after, most expensive and well crafted pieces of jewelry.

Events in history always change the fortunes of lives. First there was the assassination of Al-

exander II in 1881. Had Alexander II lived, the Duma would have established a more constitutional form of a monarchy that would have prevailed until 1917. But, already the people of Russia were becoming more intol-erant of the exorbitant lifestyle of the nobility and the Tsar, much like the French revolution. The defeat of the Russians from the Crimean War already caused more of a public outcry against the ruling classes. The coming of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 was inevitable and forever changed the fortunes of the House of Faberge`. With the assassination of the last of the Romanov family no longer were the Faberge` craftsmen able to continue their line of exquisite jewelry. Gustav was able to flee to Switzerland where he died in 1920. His son Peter managed to avoid capture and es-caped the onslaught of new Soviet takeover. He ended up in Paris. In the late 1920’s his sons managed to join their father in Paris and set up a renewed Faberge` line of jewelry. The House of Faberge`never did fully recover from the cruelty of the Bolshevik Revolution.

Through the years the Faberge mystic has pre-vailed. The disappearance of 8 Imperial Faberge` Eggs remains a mystery. What happened to those most valuable works of art? Where are they today? Are they used as collateral for capital to fund some devious plot? Those questions have yet to be an-swered. What we do know, when combined those 8 Imperial Eggs are valued at over $100,000,000. That is more than enough money to ignite the pas-

sions and greed of man.One can not help wonder at the artistry and

craftsmanship of each Faberge` piece whether is is one of the eggs or other works of fine jewelry. They are like Stradivarius in the making of his instruments some 100 years before. Each is so exquisitely made that there has been no real replica that can match the original. The Faberge reputation as the finest makers of exquisite jewelry remains today unmatched by any other craftsmen.

An Easter Bonnet represents the tail-end of a tradition of wearing new clothes at Easter,[1] in harmony with the renewal of the year and the promise of spiritual renewal and redemption.

The “Easter bonnet” was fixed in popular culture by Irving Berlin, whose frame of reference was the Easter parade in New York City, a festive walkabout that made its way down Fifth Avenue from St. Patrick’s Cathedral:

In your Easter bonnetwith all the frills upon it,You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade.

At the depths of the Great Depression a new hat at Easter, or a refurbished old one, was a simple luxury. The self-consciously quaint “bonnet”, which had been tongue-in-cheek euphemism for a hat for more than a generation, supplied Berlin with his rhyme.

The broader English tradition of new clothes at Easter has been noticed in late 16th century refer-ences by Peter Opie, who noted Mercutio’s taunting of Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet: “Did’st thou not fall out with a Tailor for wearing his new Doublet before Easter?” At just the same time Thomas Lodge’s moralising pasmphlet Wits Miserie (London, 1596) recorded “The farmer that was contented in times past with his Russet Frocke & Mockado sleeues, now sels a Cow against Easter to buy him silken geere for his Credit”. In Samuel Pepys’ diary, 30 March (Easter Day) 1662, he notes

“Having my old black suit new furbished, I was pretty neat in clothes to-day, and my boy, his old suit new trimmed, very handsome.”

Poor Robin, an 18th-century English almanac maker, offered the doggerel:

At Easter let your clothes be new

Or else be sure you will it rue.

and the notion that ill-luck would dog the one who had not something new at Easter expanded in the 19th century.

Today the Easter bonnet is a type of hat that women and girls wear to Easter services, and in the Easter parade following it. Ladies purchased new and elaborate de-signs for particular church services, and in the case of Easter, taking the opportunity of the end of Lent to buy luxury items. Now, in a more casual society, Easter Bonnets are becoming harder to find,[8] as fewer and fewer women bother with the tradition.

Modern Easter bonnets for children are usually white wide-brimmed hats with a pastel colored satin ribbon around it and tied in a bow. It may also have flowers or other springtime motifs on top, and may match a special dress picked out for the occasion.

Until recently, it was popular in infant school to

ask a child to design an Easter-themed hat at that time of year. The aim was to get their parents to wear it to Easter services.

Modern convenience has made it so all we have to do is go to the local mega mart and buy an Easter Egg Coloring Kit. They come in all sizes and styles. You can buy them with the latest cartoon character stickers, or with wax sticks, these are better known as crayons. You can buy the ones with sparkles and stripes and rollers. There a lot of choices and isles full of great ideas. Easter Egg glitz and glitter will light up most children’s eyes.

But there are other ways to decorate your Easter Eggs. You can make your own Easter Egg Dye. You have to use a container that is big enough to hold your liquid dye. You will need to keep in mind that you will be placing a boiled egg, or blown egg shell in it also. Take just 2/3 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of distilled vinegar and you have the base for your egg coloring ideas. Equip yourself with food coloring you can find on the spice isle in the grocery store and you are in business. You will need to add about a total of ¼ teaspoon of food color, about 24 drops to each mixture. Here is where those basic kindergarten skills come into play. Remember that red and blue make purple and that yellow and blue make green, red and yellow make orange and so on. Add the colors drop by drop until you have the color you like. You may not be able to tell what color that you have by looking down into you mixture, you may

want to place a drop or to on a piece of white paper to see exactly what shade you have made.

Now that you have your mixture made up, all you need is a boiled egg or a blown egg shell. Carefully place it into the liquid dye. The longer you leave it in the dye the darker your colored egg will be. The general rule is about for two minutes. You can also have the kids get out the crayons and draw on their Easter Eggs. Be care-ful if using just blown shells sometimes a child, or an adult, can push to hard with the crayon and break or crack the shell. Where ever the crayon is used it will resist the Easter Egg dye. Rubber bands work well too. You can wrap them all around your egg before putting them in the color. Any where the rubber band is there will be no color. Painters tape will work well also here. Another neat technique is to make strips. You can use pipe cleaners to suspend only half the egg in one color and then flip it to make the other half of your egg another color.

Want to go all natural? There are plenty of things around your kitchen that can make wonderful colors for your Easter Egg coloring fun. You start by placing your eggs in a single layer, and covering with water. You then add a teaspoons of distilled vinegar. You will then add what ever natural ingredient you are going to use for your dye and bring the water to a

boil. Then simmer for about 15 minutes. You can then remove you eggs and dry on a paper towel. What can you use to for color? There are some great things in your pantry. You can start with fresh beets, cranberries or frozen raspberries these will make your eggs a pale red. Want orange? Try onion skins. Spinach leaves will give you green eggs and blue-berries will give you blue eggs. Strong cof-fee will make your eggs brown to beige.

You are only limited by your imagina-tion when it comes to decorating your Easter Eggs. Kids will have great fun coming up with ideas on how to decorate them. Using finger paints? Decoupage?

Let yours and your child’s imagination free when it comes to decorating your Easter Eggs. You can add glitter and sparkles and even dig into your sticker supply and use them after your Easter Egg has been dyed and is completely dry. All those great skills they are learning in grade school art class will come into play when decorating Easter Eggs.

Have fun with your kids and make some sparkly beautiful Easter Eggs. Eas-ter Egg making is fun and builds lifetime memories for both children and adults. If you make your own dyes or purchase the supplies all in a box at the store, have fun with it, and be creative!

“All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt!”

Lucy Van Pelt, “Peanuts”

Go beyond store-bought marsh-mallow chicks and chocolate rabbits this year. Perfect for some-bunny special – or as a dessert to brighten any holiday table – A Tisket, A Tasket, A Cupcake Easter Basket cupcakes prove that it can be a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket.

“These cupcakes look impressive,” says Nancy Siler, vice president of consumer affairs at Wilton, “yet they require just a few easy steps. Simply bake cupcakes and use your favorite cake mix to help speed up prep time. Cool completely, place into Picket Fence Cupcake Wraps or Basket Cupcake Wraps and pipe with green-tinted icing to create grass. If piping isn’t possible, simply spatula ice the cupcakes; either way, they will impress.”

Wilton has a basketful of ideas for finishing these little cakes. Perch min-iature nest decorations filled with jelly beans on the icing grass for a playful take on a robin’s springtime roost. Or, top cupcakes with pre-made icing flowers to echo the cheery hues of spring’s first blossoms. These treats will be the perfect end to any Easter hop-pening.

Ten students from Santa Margarita Catholic High School’s Model United Nations (MUN) program recently trav-eled to the nineteenth annual Beijing Model United Nations Conference, in which they were the only students from the United States in attendance. Fifty schools from across the globe attended the invitation-only mock meeting of the United Nations.

Santa Margarita students debated a wide variety of issues, such as arms control, sustainable development, and human rights issues representing India. Santa Margarita took home more awards than any other school at the conference and was the only school to win multiple awards. Stu-dents Kierstyn Suda of Coto de Caza, Nicole Minkina of San Clemente, Chloe Lustig of Dove Canyon, Gar-

rett Williams of Coto de Caza, and Michelle Tedja of Ladera Ranch, all won the award of Best Delegate in their committees, the highest honor in the Model United Nations Program.

“Working with individuals from places such as Manila, Moscow, and Hong Kong showed me that living in a different place doesn’t change the fact that we are all teenagers and ac-tually have many things in common,” Suda said.

MUN simulates sessions of the United Nations with students serving as delegates of participating coun-tries. Students replicate the working of the United Nations by attending conferences worldwide such as the BEIMUN Conference. Santa Mar-garita Catholic High School has trav-eled to Ireland, Germany, London, the Netherlands and France through the MUN program. The program helps build skills including negotiation, team work and public speaking.

The ten day trip, March 7-17, be-gan with two days in Seoul, South Korea, where students visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jogyesa Templem and the Myeongdong Namsam Tower. The next day the students made their way to the

Korean Demilitarized Zone, where they ventured into the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel underground and walked to the very boundary of the DMZ and South Korea.

The students then traveled to Bei-jing where they had the opportunity to visit the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall of China, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, and the Lama Temple before the three day conference began.

“Traveling to China and Korea with the MUN program was an amazing opportunity,” Williams said. “It’s al-lowed me to experience an entirely new part of the world and truly gain an understanding of and appreciation for Asian culture.”

“Everyone past the age of ten already knows that the residues from donuts, cakes, candies and those sugary drinks are going to be on the teeth all day, making cavities” says popular local dentist Dr. Michael Tessier .But rather than giving his patients along lecture and wagging his fi nger at them ,the good doc-tor often surprises them by offering them yet another sweet treat, saying “Here, try this instead .At my offi ce, we also have a Tic-Tac- like sucky candy that is sweetened with xylitol, which coats the tooth surfaces with a decay-resistant biofi lm. We highly recommend that for our patients going through orthodontic tooth straightening, or for anyone who is genetically pre-disposed to tooth de-cay.”Dr. Tessier adds; “Most people with busy lives fi nd choosing the very best nutri-tious food is hard to do and sometimes we give in to the temptation of enjoying a doughnut instead of an apple or more nutritious fruit. Treating tooth decay today is nowhere near as onerous as it was when I was a kid. Most cavities can be fi lled using modern 21st century technology rather than the dreaded drill. Here in my dental offi ce in Rancho Santa Margarita I use a laser! It quickly delivers a small, concentrated amount of energy to a very specifi c localized area in the space of a few minute visits; the patient is free of pain. Modern technology at its best! Regular visits to the dental offi ce for tooth cleaning and routine inspections will prevent serious conditions from developing in your mouth and guarantee a long and happy relationship with your teeth. If you sometimes give in to a sweet-tooth temptation, don’t worry. For Tessier and his team of happy dental assistants are always there to save the day! As Dr. Tessier says,” I’m a Grandpa, and it is my duty, my prerogative to take my little guys out for a do-nut on occasion. But only on the weekend and only when they’ve also had something nutritious to eat. Please call my offi ce at (949)-459-7212. If you need more information on this subject, or need to make an appointment. Dr. Michael Tessier’s Offi ce is located at 28562 Oso at the intersection of Oso and Antonio parkway down the walkway from Starbucks and the do-nut shop- how ironic.

Looking for some Easter fun for the kids? Why not have an Easter egg hunt before Easter - or after? I have been known to break out the plastic eggs in the middle of summer and hide them in the yard for my three kids. They don’t seem to care if there are treats in the plastic eggs - they just love gathering them up.

How about a scavenger hunt? Write simple clues on slips of paper and put them into the plastic eggs. Each clue will lead to another egg. The final clue should lead to a special treat.

Instead of candy, why not stuff the eggs with coupons for special things? For example: A night out with Dad or Mom, a day of no chores, bedtime half an hour later, a sleepover at Grandma’s, get-ting to pick out a movie rental, supper at a favorite restaurant, an extra 30 minutes of television, a night at the movies, a trip to the park. Be creative - think of things your kids would really enjoy.

Let the kids decorate! Draw outlines of eggs on white paper. Let the kids color them and decorate them however they want. Cut them out and display them on a bulletin board, the wall, the windows or hang them from the ceiling (attach string to the pa-per eggs and use thumbtacks to hang the stringed eggs from the ceiling).

Most of us know the routine for dyeing eggs: Go to the store, buy the dye kit, dye the eggs. Why not try something different this year? Try natural dyes.

Use natural things (onion skins, cabbage leaves, etc.) to dye your Easter eggs. Detailed instructions can be found at http://www.dltk-kids.com/crafts/easter/natural.htm.

Make a handprint lamb magnet: Trace the outline of your child’s hand on black craft foam, cut out then glue cotton balls on the palm for the lamb’s wool. Glue a small wiggle eye on the thumb. Use purple ribbon to make a small bow then glue the bow on the lamb’s neck (where the thumb meets the palm). Stick a short length of adhesive strip magnet on the back and voila! You’ve got a lamb.

Make a cross mag-net: Use two popsicle sticks - one five-inch and one two-inch. Glue the smaller stick on top of the larger to make a cross. Make a bow out of a length of purple ribbon - glue it on top of the small stick. Stick a short length of adhesive magnet strip on the back.

By: Lynn BrownThe spectacle that is NASCAR rolled into Fontana last week for its annual

visit to Southern California. The festivities started with a parade and ended with fireworks on track and in pit lane. In the end, driver Kyle Busch ruled the weekend, winning the races of both NASCAR series.

The festivities got under way Thursday evening, when the NASCAR haulers, stretched nose-to-tail in a mile-long string, wound slowly along an 11-mile route through town, from Citizens Business Bank Arena to Auto Club Speedway. Aboard the haulers were the new Toyotas, Chevrolets, and Fords of the stars of the NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers. Nicknamed the “Gen-6”, the new cars were designed to return manufacturer identity to the race track and to enhance the quality of the racing by making it easier to maneuver the cars in traffic.

The combination of great weather and the potential for exciting racing brought the largest crowd to the speedway in years. And they were not disappointed. The Auto Club 400 on Sunday afternoon had a record-tying 41 green-flag passes for the lead and over 3,700 passes for position. The final pass for the lead was made by Kyle Busch, driving the Interstate Batteries Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing on the last lap of the race. Busch was in 3rd place when the final lap began, behind current teammate Denny Hamlin and former teammate Joey Logano. Logano and Hamlin, who had tangled late in the race last week, put on quite a display for most of the final lap, wrestling side-by-side and banging into each other as they fought for the lead. Busch was able to swing past the two on the outside as their battle got the best of them and both Hamlin and Logano careened into the wall. The trip to Victory Lane was well-earned by Busch, who had led 125 of the 200 laps.

The last-lap excitement was not the end of the fireworks, however. Tony Stewart confronted Logano on pit lane after taking exception to a block move

Logano used on Stewart during a late-race restart. Stewart had been in line behind Logano, who was on the inside of the front row. With a head of steam, Stewart had ducked to the inside to try to move around Logano and Logano responded with a standard NASCAR move to block, a move Stewart has used many times, himself. On pit lane, Stewart expressed his displeasure with Logano, who responded in kind, until crew members from both sides stepped in to separate the drivers.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr., finished 2nd behind Busch for his 5th top-10 finish in five races, the only driver to accomplish that feat this season. The finish was good enough to move him to the top of the championship standings.

In addition to winning on Sunday, Busch made a similar trip to Victory Lane on Saturday afternoon after winning the NASCAR Nationwide Series Royal Purple 300 in dominating fashion. Busch won the race from the pole, leading 92 of the 150 laps. That win was not quite as dramatic, with Busch taking the lead from Sam Hornish on Lap 125 and staying out front until the checkered flag. After the win, Busch was almost prophetic, saying, “It was really cool. We’ll see if we can do it on Sunday. I think it is really, really awkward that JGR has not won a Cup race here.”

The NASCAR activities were not limited to the races. Reigning Sprint Cup Champion Brad Keselowski kicked off the weekend with “Speedway Day L.A.”, promoting the Metrolink train from Rancho Cucamonga to Union Station in Los Angeles on Thursday. Nationwide Series driver Kyle Larson made surprise visits to local elementary schools to promote reading. And thousands of middle-school students took part in Math & Science Day at the Speedway on Friday, March 22, participating in a variety of hands-on activities that taught them how math and science concepts can be applied in auto racing. Other activities at the Speedway included concerts, driver appearances, fashion shows, and a zipline.

pro fooTball players rally for orangeWood

Athletes First, a Newport Beach sports agency that represents more than 125 athletes and coaches, partnered with Orangewood Children’s Foundation and its PALS auxiliary again this year and hosted its annual two-day fundraiser, “The Athletes First Classic.”

The gala event was held at the St. Regis Resort, Monarch Beach in Dana Point, with a golf tournament the following day. The gala and golf event are expected to raise more than $500,000 for Orangewood Children’s Foundation’s scholarship program for former foster teens in Orange County.

Over 90 athletes attended the weekend events – some who were seen in-cluded Matt Cassel (Kansas City Chiefs), Chad Henne (Jacksonville Jaguars), Andrew Luck (Indianapolis Colts), Clay Matthews (Green Bay Packers), Von Miller (Denver Broncos), Mark Sanchez (New York Jets), Matt Schaub (Houston Texans), and honoree Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts); retired players Ray Lewis (Baltimore Ravens) and Drew Bledsoe (Dallas Cowboys); Dallas Cow-boys coach Jason Garret; and 24 young players represented by Athletes First going into the 2013 draft including local athletes Joseph Fauria and Jeff Lock from UCLA, and Khaled Holmes, TJ McDonald and Robert Woods from USC.

It was a sold out crowd with over 750 people attending the star studded gala. The dinner program included a testimonial by former foster youth April Amsden. April told of her life of abuse from her parents and years of struggle; dropping out of high school and becoming homeless. Ultimately she found help from Orangewood Children’s Foundation, returned to school and is now a college student with a bright future ahead of her. Moved by April’s story, the audience donated over $125,000 to Orangewood’s scholarship fund.

Among the lavish live auction items were a 7-night trip to London and Paris (won by Wing and Kelly Lam), an OC Register “Publisher-for-a-Day” package (won by Glenn and Mindy Stearns), and a Casa de Tres Sietes Cabo San Lucas 4-night stay (won by Green Bay Packers player Clay Matthews).

Pre-set Family Style Appetizer included a variety of Homemade Potato Chips with Rosemary, Truffle and Parmesan Cheese with Dipping Sauces, an assortment of grilled vegetables and cheese flatbread and Speck Ham. The entrée was a duo of Grilled Petite New York Steak with a green Peppercorn sauce with a skinless double Baked Potato and Colossal Prawns served with Ratatouille, Chive Buerre Blanc and seasonal vegetables. Dessert was de-lectable with a dark almond Mousse Cake, an almond Sponge Cake served with exotic Compote.

The culmination of the evening was the presentation of the 2013 Golden Heart Award to local second-generation philanthropist and founder of the Orangewood PALS auxiliary Stephanie Argyros, and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver and six-time Pro Bowler Reggie Wayne. The award is given annually to two honorees: one a local business leader who has exhibited leadership in doing good works and benefiting humanity; and the other an athlete who has been a positive role model and has made contributions off the field.

“Golden Heart honorees back up their success with generosity,” said Athletes First C.E.O. and Orangewood board member David Dunn.

“This was a great opportunity for our clients to come together for a great cause,” said Dunn. “I applaud them for taking time out of their extremely busy schedules to help the kids of Orangewood, and to help honor Stephanie and Reggie.”

Orangewood CEO Cal Winslow said, “We are honored to continue our part-nership with David Dunn and the whole Athletes First organization, and we’re delighted to be the beneficiary of this year’s Classic.”

A full house of Elks members from the Orange Coast District, families and guests celebrated Mission Viejo / Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge No. 2444 (“Elks Lodge”) installation of new officers. At the event, former Elks National Grand Esquire and Orange Coast District leader, Lee Northcutt, was a very special guest.

Outgoing Exalted Ruler (“ER”) Harvey Boelts, who is also a Past Exalted Ruler (“PER”), expressed his thanks to the Elks Lodge members for their support over this past year. He recognized and praised the Elks Lodge Corps of Officers and Com-mittee volunteers for the numerous charitable accomplishments and the members for the large number of new members initiated over the past twelve months.

The new officers will be serving the Lodge for a term of one year starting

April 1, 2013. They are: Elks Lodge President (ER) Jason Spence, Vice Presidents: Leading Knight Derek Randles, Loyal Knight Camacho Alvarez and Lecturing Knight David McLeod. Other officers include: Secretary Rich Heimann, Treasurer William (Bill) Bongartz, Esquire Greg Morgan, Chaplain Tommy Nestor, As-sistant Chaplin Ryan Jacobs, Inner Guard Matthew Williams, Assistant Inner Guard Rhonda Peiloni, Tiler Ryan Granneman, Organist Andy Costello, Board of Trustees: Gary Bennington, Gary K. Smith, Harold A. Allen, Steven A. Rusie and Marzena (Basia) Bills.

In his acceptance speech, newly installed Elks Lodge President Ja-son Spence said that his motto for the year will be, “Together Every-one Achieves More.” Spence also pledged to continuously increase the

spirit of cooperation and involvement the Elks Lodge has long enjoyed with the communities of the Saddleback Valley and City of Mission Viejo.

At a year-end awards ceremony, three of Elkdom’s highest awards were presented: Citizen of the Year, Derek Randles; Officer of the Year, Steve Rusie, and Elk of the Year, Jack Jacobs.

The Mission Viejo / Saddleback Elks Lodge No. 2444, celebrating forty-three (43) years of service to the Saddleback Valley communities, is one of ten lodges in the Orange Coast District of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) whose headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois. The BPOE is a charitable organization with a 145 year history of giving, “Elks Care, Elks Share.”

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 postpone-ments be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

The largest private collection of Fabergé Imperial Easter Eggs, owned by the Forbes family, publishers of this Web site, was sold privately to a Rus-sian oil and gas magnate, Victor Vekselberg. The eggs were due to go up for auction at Sotheby’s in New York.

No price was disclosed for the private sale, but pre-auction estimates for the collection were in the range of $80 million to $120 million.

The 46-year-old Vekselberg has a controlling interest in Tyumen Oil, Rus-sia’s third-largest oil and gas company, and which has a joint venture with BP.

He returned the eggs to Russia. The collection, he says “represents per-haps the most significant example of our cultural heritage outside Russia. This is a once in a lifetime chance to give back to my country one of its most revered treasures.”

The fabled eggs were first commissioned from the House of Fabergé by Tsar Alexander III in 1885 as an Easter gift to his wife. The tradition was con-tinued by his son, Tsar Nicholas II, and the pieces have become a byword for treasures of rarity and value. There are only 50 Imperial Easter Eggs in the world, including the nine sold to Vekselberg by the Forbes family. Ten are in the Moscow Kremlin Collection, five are at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Va., and Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II owns three. The whereabouts of eight are unknown. The others are in the U.S., Switzerland and Monaco.

By Shaun StanertYou can tell a lot about a fellow’s

character by the way he eats jellybeans, at least according to the widely quoted logic of former USA President Ronald Reagan.

For Reagan the Jellybean was not simply an Easter indulgence. Reagan was so enamored of Jellybeans that he maintained a year-round supply in the Oval Office and a perpetual stash on air force one, displayed in a special turbulence-proof container. He even launched them into space, in 1983, when he ordered that they be stowed as a presidential surprise on the space shuttle challenger for the amusement of the astronauts.

Reagan’s conclusion about the per-sonalities of fellow jellybean aficionados may or may not prove true. Still, it ap-pears obvious that Americans have a considerable collective craving for the clever creation. These days it would hardly be Easter without jellybeans artfully hidden among the paper grass, chocolate rabbits and other goodies that presently complete the Easter Basket equation.

Nevertheless, Jellybeans are no longer just for Easter. They have shed their seasonal specific demand and are on display in stores throughout the year.

The exact origin of the Jellybean is somewhat foggy likely lost to time and a lack of permanent record keeping methods. Most historians, however, agree that in the USA they were first linked with Easter in the 1930s. That is when people began tucking them into Easter baskets likely because of their resemblance to small eggs, according the Jelly Belly Company, the manufac-turer of Reagan’s self-professed favorite brand of Jelly bean.

Eggs have long been a symbol of fertility and spring renewal associated with Easter. The Jellybean’s beguiling resemblance to small bird eggs was evident, and that along with their colorful appearance made them a natural addi-tion to Easter festivities.

The American appetite for Jellybeans seems to be ravenous and growing annually. In the USA candy makers manufacture approximately 16 Billion Jellybeans annually in anticipation of Easter. Moreover, in recent years some Grocery stores have doubled the space designated for highlighting Jellybeans near Easter time.

Categorically precise product sales figures are difficult to establish since retailers no longer routinely report checkout scanner information. Neverthe-less, based on various data, Easter is second in Holiday candy-eating events with overall sales hovering at a lofty 1.9 billion dollars in 2006, according to the

National Confectioners Association, or the NCA. Jellybeans figure prominently in that placement.

During Reagan’s presidential reign more than three tons of Jelly Belly Candy Company beans, were consumed at political events in 1981, possibly due to Reagan’s widely reported fondness for the sugary treat.

Blueberry Jellybeans are a Jelly Belly Company invention developed specifi-cally so that Reagan could serve a patri-otic mix of red white and blue jellybeans at his inaugural parties. Reagan’s favor-ite flavor was licorice and he ordered 7000 pounds for his 1981 inauguration. The CEO of Jelly Belly Company once credited Reagan’s widely publicized passion as responsible for putting their gourmet brand on the map, according to CNN’s American Morning show, aired June 9 2004.

The Turkish Delight, a Middle Eastern candy made of soft jelly, covered in confectioner’s powder, with roots dating to biblical days, inspired the Jellybean’s gummy interior.

When formulating the Jellybean the pioneering twist involved adding various new flavors and covering the jelled cen-ter with a semi-hard shell. The method for making the glaze on the outside of the Jellybean, was invented in 17th century France, and is known as panning. It is the same process prior used to make the thin sweet shell surrounding Jordan almonds.

Jellybeans first surfaced in America in 1861 when William Schrafft, a Boston confectioner, urged people to send his Jellybeans to soldiers during the Civil war.

The first recorded advertisement for jellybeans was published in the Chicago Daily News on July 5, 1905. It publicized Bulk Jellybeans sold by volume for nine cents per pound, according to the book, “The Century in Food: America’s Fads and Favorites.”

Jellybeans were initially sold in general stores as penny candy displayed in glass jars, separated by individual flavors, and scooped into paper bags after the patron handpicked their selection. Demand for the candy declined at the turn of the century. Interest in them re-energized during World War II due to a shortage of chocolate. Most chocolate was sent to soldiers overseas prompting the deficit.

For years the reigning traditional jellybean makers such as Brach’s confectioners boasted an appealing but limited range of flavors and colors. In the mid 1970s, however, gourmet jellybeans emerged when the Herman Goelitz Candy Co., Inc., now known as the Jelly Belly Candy Company, made jellybeans that were different in taste and texture.

The company’s trend-setting jellybean

transformation in-volved expand-ing the flavor op-tions by including unusual flavors such as Water-melon, Pear, or Tutti Fruiti, to name a few. The candy also looked different, a bit more delicate, more colorful and more intensely flavored than traditional beans. In addition, some beans did not have the classic clear chewy center, according to Gray Rollins of the website Your Easter.

The palate pleasing amplification in flavor and choices thrust gourmet Jel-lybeans to new heights of gastronomic popularity.

Both traditional and gourmet jel-lybeans can take between 6 and 21 days to make, according to various manufacturers. Differences in recipes give both Gourmet and traditional beans a distinctive taste. Moreover, both styles of beans have a solid share of stubbornly loyal cohorts. The gourmet beans are usually smaller and softer than the tra-ditional candy. In addition, the gourmet beans always have flavors infused into the center jell as well as the exterior shell. In contrast, the traditional Jellybeans typically have flavoring only in the shell, according to the NCA.

The life cycle of a jellybean begins when all the deliciously addictive ingre-dients needed to form the bean’s sweet chewy interior are boiled, then piped to casting trays to solidify. A few days later, the panning process begins. The beans roll in a drum while sugar is gradually added to build up the shell around the soft center. At this point colors and flavors are also introduced into the mix. Soon after, confectioners glaze gives the shell a shiny appearance. Lastly, the beans get a final polish prior to shipping.

Some innovative gourmet flavors include Cappuccino or Strawberry Cheesecake, as well as unique sport-bean varieties such as Berry Blue, a fusion of natural flavors, electrolytes, and antioxidants, and the Jelly Belly Compa-ny’s newest natural flavor, Pomegranate, fortified with vitamin C. These unusual but still somewhat conventional flavors appeal to the sophisticated palates of adults as well as anyone of any age with a demanding sweet tooth.

However, the repertoire of flavors is not constricted to the creatively conven-tional realm.

Some gourmet manufacturers have veered on a non-conformist path by daring to boldly concoct wildly offbeat flavors with repulsive sounding names

such as Vomit, Booger, Earwax and dirt to name a few. These eccentric flavors are more apt to charm an adventurous adolescent or a daredevil child rather than an adult. Indeed the Jelly Belly Company, the maker of the zany but still briskly selling flavors, touts them as “guaranteed to have your lips curl and your eyes watering.”

The flavors available for Gourmet Jel-lybeans are ever evolving, and continu-ally tested. The process is restrained only by the outer limit of the manufacturer’s imagination and the new arrival’s mar-ketability.

Promising new jellybean versions take root in a chemistry laboratory where test batches of new flavors are conjured, and mulled, based on the results of marketing studies. The batches are then examined by focus groups for taste and visual appeal, before emerging as a new shelf-ready product, according to How Products are Made, a reference book, published by Thomson-Gale.

Indeed American consumers are apparently so charmed by the mouth-watering, teeth-clinging treat that April 22 is designated National Jelly Bean Day, according to the NCA.

Other large companies making Jelly Beans are Hershey, Russell Stover, and Fannie Mae.

To satiate the curiosity of inquiring health-conscious minds, an ounce of regular jellybeans contains approximate-ly 100 calories. The calories are mainly from carbohydrates. Jellybeans contain no fat, no cholesterol, no fiber, and no protein according to the food database at Calorie King’s website.

There are about 26 jellybeans in an ounce, according to Debbie Belt president of the James River Candy Company.

In case you were wondering, 70 per-cent of children 6 to 11 years claim to prefer eating jellybeans one bean at a time, while 23 percent profess a prefer-ence for gobbling them by the handful. Slightly more boys at 29 percent said they prefer wolfing down a handful, while 18 percent of the girls admit to inelegantly eating jellybeans by loading a mouthful, according to Easter candy facts on Pear-son education’s “infoplease” website.
