By Kristen BentleyMother-daughter activities are

not limited to trips to the salon for a manicure or pedicure. Spring break activities can be fun, educational, and fulfilling.

1. Antiquing and Thrifting.Mothers and daughters don’t

have to take a trip to the mall, but can explore their city’s unique shops like antique stores and thrift shops. Antiquing offers mothers and daughter time to explore history. Daughter can learn about what their mother’s childhood was like by be-ing able to see items at an antique store. Mothers can share stories of their childhood experiences.

When moms and daughters go thrifting, they can have fun dig-ging through treasures to see what great outfits, household items, and other things they can find. Thrifting involves creativity; shopping at the mall takes the creativity out of the equation.

2. Visit a Yoga StudioMany yoga studios have mother-

daughter nights. Mothers and daughters might be lucky enough to find a partner yoga class, where they can work together to build poses. Some yoga studios have

special events to practice medita-tion, to try out hula-hoop yoga, to take a workshop with travelling yo-gis, or maybe to listen to chanting or yoga-style music.

3. Try Out Local RestaurantsCities and towns are full of locally

owned restaurants. Spring break is a perfect time to go to restau-rants that mothers and daughters do not usually patronize. Mothers and daughters can try local ethnic restaurants, daring each other to try food they would not normally eat.

4. Take Art ClassesLocal Y’s, non-profits, and local

craft stores offer free or low cost craft lessons. Mothers and daugh-ters can learn the latest crafting techniques or learn a traditional art like sketching or sculpting. Many lo-cal art venues offer special events during school vacations, so if moth-ers and daughters want to get down and dirty in the local arts, check out your local art venues’ spring break schedules.

5. Take a HikeIf the weather permits, mothers

and daughters can take a hike. Mothers and daughters can hike in a local park, on a state park trail, or on a converted railroad trail. Taking

a bird book, tree book, or wild flower book can make the hike educa-tional. Mothers and daughters can also challenge each other to find rare birds, trees, or flowers on the

nature walks.Mothers and daughters have

many possible activities to try out during Spring Break 2012. The key is to be creative and adventurous.

By Christi BowersSpring Break is a chance to unwind

and relax, to take in some deep breaths and prepare for the world to start again. If you’re a college student, you may be to-tally out of energy and just need a chance to recoup. Well, at least that’s what some people think.

However, Spring Break doesn’t really have to just mean lying on a beach some-where soaking up the rays, or becoming a couch potato for ten days. There are some adventurous alternatives, like some of the Spring Break options available in Alaska. You can relax in Alaska, or you can become the daredevil you’ve always known yourself to be inside.

Here are five specific Spring Break ideas for Alaska for 2009.

1. Take an Alaskan Cruise. There are plenty of different cruise lines that go through Alaska. One specific cruise that is traveling through Alaska for Spring Break 2009 is the 14 Night Ultimate Alaska Cruise on the Celebrity Mercury. This cruise is part of Celebrity Cruise Lines. It goes from April 27, 2009 to May 11, 2009. For this whole week period, cruises start at under $1,200 per person. The cruise goes from California to Oregon, and then through parts of Alaska. You will get to see the Hubbard Glacier, as well as part of British Columbia, Canada.

Other features of this cruise include

visiting the Alaska State museum which has a collection of Russian artifacts. A visit is included to Juneau, Alaska’s capital. When venturing into British Columbia, Victoria is part of the trip. Victoria has dif-ferent parks and golf courses.

2. If you’re truly adventurous, and can take rough environments, you can try the adventure offered by Adventure Central, of Ski Mountaineering in Alaska’s Lake Clark National Park. The tour starts on April 11, 2009, the day before Easter, and goes for 15 days. You really have to be a decent skiier, and be able to endure harsh temperatures and harsh conditions in general. This isn’t for the meak of heart. The cost starts at a little under $5,000. The tour is west of Anchorage, Alaska in the Neacola Mountains. You are taken by plane to the mountain ranges, onto an actual glacier. You start at the basecamp, and then spend the first week skiing. The first week provides you with information on how to camp in the cold and wilder-ness, as well as how to ski on glaciers. The second week is spent exploring very remote terrain in Alaska in the wilderness. This is really a back country trip!

3. Wilderness Birding Adventure. If you can get away later in the Spring for your Spring Break vacation, you can go to Anchorage for a one day trip on May 26, 2009. This trip will cost you about $100 for the day itself. This is a birding

trip. Rare birds are found in Anchorage at this time. The trip will go through lagoons, lakes and creeks, and along the coast to find the birds. Once you finish with the birding experience, you can spend some time in Anchorage, Alaska, en-joying all that it has to offer.

Anchorage, Alaska can be seen by train. You can take the train to get to remote locations to spot wildlife and the beauty of nature as the earth starts to thaw in Spring in Alaska. Anchorage is breathtaking in the Spring.

4. Fishing Expedition at Silverking Lodge in Alaska. It costs about $2,000 per person to spend a week in the Silverk-ing Lodge, for a self guided fishing tour. This rate includes meals, lodging, and all fishing equipment. The boat is included. Your fish are even processed for you, if you catch some! The transportation is provided from the Ketchikan International Airport. If you want, you can pay extra to have a chartered or guided fishing tour.

The beautiful thing about fishing at this lodge are the sunsets and peaceful nature scenery that surround the lodge. You are in the heart of nature, in the north of the world. There is no limit to the picturesque photographic opportunities that will exist

in this environment.5. Visit the Chena Hot Springs Resort,

where you can also see the Aurora Bo-realis. The Aurora Borealis is also called the Northern Lights. Although Alaska is still going to be cold in March, and there is still a great part of the day that is dark (short days like winters in North America), seeing the Northern Lights is something worth venturing to this part of the world to see. The hot springs in Chena Resort are supposedly known for their healing powers, for such things as arthritis and other aches and pains. The location is also known as being a great place for rest and relaxation. There are tours offered each day to learn about green energy projects, such as geothermal renewable energy. Even in the winter, there is a rock lake with 105 degree fahrenheit water! You can see the Northern Lights from the Rock Lake.

The Laguna Beach Alliance for the Arts (LBaa) announces dis-tinguished arts advocate, Dana Gioia, to del iver the keynote speech at the 6th Annual Art Star Awards to be held on Sunday, April 1 at [seven-degrees] in La-guna Beach. At the gala event, awards in seven categories will be presented to organizations, businesses and individuals who have contributed and shaped the arts and culture of the community and the county.

“For many years Laguna Beach has been rewarded culturally and financially by its devotion to the arts. Mr. Gioia has championed the importance of the arts at the highest level in our country,” shared LBaa Chairman Wayne Baglin. “What an honor it is to have him as the keynote speaker at this year’s Art Star Awards.”

Former Chairman of the Nation-al Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Dana Gioia is an internationally acclaimed and award-winning poet. Gioia received a BA and MBA from Stanford University and an MA in Comparative Literature from Harvard University. Gioia has published three full-length collections of poetry, as well as eight chapbooks.

As Chairman of the NEA, Gioia succeeded in garnering enthusi-astic bi-partisan support in the United States Congress for the mission of the Arts Endowment, as well as in strengthening the national consensus in favor of public funding for the arts and arts education. Business Week Maga-

zine referred to him as “The Man Who Saved the NEA.” Gioia’s creation of a series of NEA Na-tional Initiatives combined with a wider distribution of direct grants to reach previously underserved communities making the agency truly national in scope. Through programs such as Shakespeare in American Communities, Op-eration Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience, NEA Jazz Masters, American Masterpieces, and Poetry Out Loud, the Arts Endowment has successfu l ly reached millions of Americans in all corners of the country. After serving two terms, Gioia left his position as Chairman in 2009.

Gioia was appointed the Judge Widney Professor of Poetry and Public Culture at USC in 2010, at tile reserved for eminent indi-viduals from the arts, sciences, professions, business and com-munity leadership. Gioia’s univer-sity-wide appointment includes aff i l iat ions with USC College, USC Thornton School of Music, USC Marshall School of Busi-ness, and USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development. In addition to his work at USC, Dana serves as Harman-Eisner Senior Fellow in the Arts and directs arts and culture programs for the Aspen Institute.

The Laguna Beach Al l iance for the Arts was established in 2002 as the result of an exciting partnership among more than 20 Laguna Beach organizations. The mission is to serve as an advocate for the arts, promote collaboration

and networking among the arts or-ganizations of Laguna Beach, and to serve as a united voice for the arts in the city. Members of the Alliance for the Arts include Art-A-Fair Festival, Laguna Dance Festival, Chamber of Commerce, City of Laguna Beach Arts Com-mission, Community Art Project, Festival of Arts, First Thursdays Art Walk, Gallimaufry Performing Arts, Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Beach Chorale, Laguna Beach Craft Guild, Laguna Beach Film Society, Laguna Beach Live!, Laguna Beach Sister Cities As-sociation, Laguna Beach Visitors and Conference Bureau, Laguna College of Art & Design, Laguna Community Concert Band, La-guna Outreach for Community Arts, Laguna Playhouse, Laguna Plein Air Painters Association, Lagunatunes Community Chorus, No Square Theater, Sawdust Art Festival, and [seven-degrees].

By David White“Aromas of cassis and boysenberry

are accented by soft black tea and anise notes, while the palate is defined by caramel, vanilla, Baker’s chocolate and intriguing layers of toasted bread and pie spices.”

That’s an actual tasting note on a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

If such descriptions make your eyes roll, you’re not alone. Tasting notes can be quite bewildering -- and the vocabu-lary of formal wine analysis can make the process intimidating.

After all, what the heck is a boysen-berry?

Fortunately, the science behind such narratives is easy to understand. And by identifying the aromas in your glass -- and then describing them -- you’ll increase your appreciation of wine.

Smelling begins when chemical com-pounds are released by whatever it is we’re smelling, stimulating nerve cells in the nose, mouth, and throat. Those cells send messages to the brain, where specific smells are recognized.

Grapes, like all fruits, produce aro-matic compounds. The process of fer-mentation causes all sorts of chemical reactions, and those create even more aromas. Very often, that fermented grape juice will interact with grape

stems, dead yeast, and oak during the winemaking process, resulting in an even more complex bouquet. As wine ages, aromatic changes continue to take place.

It’s no wonder why some tasting notes read like grocery lists!

Detecting a wine’s many aromas is just part of formal tasting; the next step is describing it. Here, things get tricky -- because all of us have our own olfac-tory memories. And we develop most of those memories as children.

What smells to like blueberry pie to one taster could easily smell like ripe blackberries to another. And neither person is wrong. We all have our own, unique stock of aromas in our memo-ries.

Making matters even more confus-ing, people have varying sensitivities to different aromas. A taster that’s very sensitive to mercaptans -- a wine flaw that manifests itself with aromas of onions and cabbage -- may find some wines undrinkable that others find deli-cious.

Evaluating wines seriously -- com-plete with your nose in the glass and thoughtful tasting -- opens up the entire world of wine appreciation. And it’s not that difficult.

Next time you enjoy wine at home,

pay attention to what you’re smelling.Wines from the New World -- coun-

tries like the United States, Australia, and Argentina -- tend to offer riper fruit aromas thanks to warmer growing con-ditions. Old World wines, on the other hand, are generally more restrained.

California Chardonnays, for example, are typically marked by notes of pine-apple and melon. Chardonnays from France -- especially the region of Cha-blis -- present aromas of green apples, lemon, and lime.

Syrah offers a similar contrast. In Australia, the grape is normally used to produce deliciously hedonistic fruit bombs -- emitting gobs of ripe black-berries and licorice. French Syrah is typically marked by blueberries, meat, and black pepper.

Winemaking decisions also influence how a wine smells.

While fruit notes come from the grapes, a winemaker can impart “sec-ondary” aromas like vanilla, chocolate, and coffee by using oak. That butter smell one so often encounters in Cali-fornia Chardonnay is the result of “ma-lolactic fermentation,” a process that’s used to make wine softer and more accessible. This process is standard for most red wines.

Finally, a wine can offer “tertiary”

aromas after bottle aging. These notes are often savory -- think mushrooms and hazelnuts.

Understanding all the nuances of wine may seem daunting, but all one needs is a sense of smell and taste, along with a strong streak of curiosity. Otherwise, wine appreciation just takes practice. So start drinking!

Wine appreciation -- it JuSt takeS practice!

Applications are now being ac-cepted through April 15 for the United States Naval Academy Summer STEM (Science, Technol-ogy, Engineering and Mathemat-ics) Program 2012. The Summer STEM Program is held in three sessions: June 4-9 for rising 8th-9th graders; June 11-16 for rising 10th graders; and June 18-23 for rising 11th graders.

The academy’s Summer STEM Program is an overnight aca-demic program designed for rising 8th-11th grade students in good academic standing who have an interest in math and science.

The STEM Program gives students the opportunity to experi-ence real-life applications of math and science principles through hands-on practical learning. Stu-dents will learn from distinguished Naval Academy professors in world-class lab facilities that pro-vide a unique learning environment outside the traditional classroom. The academy’s current students, known as midshipmen, help run the Summer STEM Program and act as

counselors and tutors to students. Approximately 480 total stu-

dents from around the U.S. will be accepted to STEM. All students selected to participate pay ap-proximately $200 for this aca-demic summer program and are responsible for providing their own transportation to and from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.

For more information about the Summer STEM Program and the application process, visit http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/stem.html or call (410) 293-4361. Ap-plicants will be notified of their application status in the month of May.

Founded in 1845, the U.S. Naval Academy today is a presti-gious four-year service academy that prepares midshipmen mor-ally, mentally and physically to be professional officers in the naval service. More than 4,400 men and women representing every state in the U.S. and several foreign countries make up the student body, known as the Brigade of Mid-shipmen. Midshipmen learn from

military and civilian instructors and participate in intercollegiate varsity sports and extracurricular activities. They also study subjects like small arms, drill, seamanship and navigat ion, tact ics, naval engineering and weapons, lead-ership, ethics and military law. Upon graduation, midshipmen earn a tax-payer funded Bachelor of Science degree in a choice of

23 different subject majors and go on to serve at least five years of exciting and rewarding service as commissioned officers in the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine C orps.

On Saturday, March 3 at 7 pm, the Sawdust Artists’ Benevolence Fund Trustees hosted a success-ful charitable event, the “HeART of Laguna,” featuring Jason Feddy’s critically acclaimed Shakespeare’s Fool concert, complete with live band and Shakespearean actors on the Festival of Arts grounds. The monies raised at this community event will go directly to the Artists’ Benevolence Fund in attempt to replenish the $30,900 in actual grants that were provided to the many Laguna Beach artists that suffered financial loss during the 2011 winter floods.

Artists’ Benevolence Fund Trust-ee, Mike Kelly, voiced the impor-tance of the first annual event, “Artists are the heart of Laguna. It’s been that way for a hundred years, and while it’s impossible to place a monetary value on how the arts enhance and define our com-munity, it’s pretty easy to come up with a number of what it takes for someone to feed their family and meet their financial obligations.”

Kelly continues, “and so to ensure a healthy heartbeat for our wonder-ful town, the Artists’ Benevolence

Fund provides a means of financial support to artists who may have nowhere else to turn when disaster prevents them from creating their art. Our HeART of Laguna event on March 3 was not only a remarkably entertaining evening, but helped replenish the Fund’s resources to ensure a means of helping Laguna artists for a long time to come. When an artist can’t create their art, this precarious existence can move even closer to the edge. And for our community to lose just one artist slows the town’s heartbeat, because the arts are truly the life-blood of Laguna.”

Supporters of this event en-joyed the dynamic live act of rock ‘n roll songs accompanying the monologues from the plays of Wil-liam Shakespeare. Energetic and light-hearted, Shakespeare’s Fool is a unique and original theatrical production not to be missed.

The Sawdust Artists’ Benevo-lence Fund is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping working artists, living in Laguna, during catastrophic events and extreme financial difficulties due to natural disaster, personal illness or

any debilitating circumstance that prevents the artist from doing their craft. The Artists’ Benevolence Fund was started in 1987 to help a criti-cally ill Sawdust artist suffering from a catastrophic event and unable to work. His fellow exhibitors joined forces, donated their artwork and sold it to obtain financial support for their colleague. For more info, Artists’ Benevolence Fund Trustee Sue Thompson can be reached at [email protected].

Athletes First, a Newport Beach sports agency that represents more than 80 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.

Athletes attending the weekend events included 2011 Super Bowl-winning quarterback Aaron Rodgers (G.B. Packers), USC alum Matt Leinart (Houston Texans), Defensive Rookie of the Year Von Miller (Denver Broncos), Scotty McKnight (NY Jets) with girlfriend actress Hayden Panettiere, and 18 young players represented by Athletes First going into the 2012 draft including Mel-vin Ingram of South Carolina who is expected to be taken in the first round.

Over 800 people gathered at the gala; folks were greeted with a reception and very large silent auction as they entered the St. Regis. Dinner was ex-ceptionally delicious starting with family style appetizers with traditional and tomato hummus, eggplant caviar, goat cheese spread, marinated olives with mini crudité with bay vegetables. The entrée was a duo of slow cooked Beef Short Ribs and Miso Glazed Cod that was served with rice shitake cake and traditional mashed potato, parsnip puree, braising jus, white port and ginger emulsion with seasonal vegetables. Served for dessert was peanut butter chocolate crunch bar and a Raspberry Coulis and Lemon Crème Brule with fresh raspberries was just delightful.

After the welcome “thank you’s” and the introduction of all the athletes in attendance, a former foster youth Ashley Fortini game a heart wrenching testimony. Ashley began her speech by saying, �My life is not a sob story; it is a miracle.� She described her troubled childhood filled with abuse, but thanks to the support and resources of Orangewood Children�s Foundation, today Ashley is a senior at CSUF who will be graduating in May. She concluded by telling the audience, �Thank you for your generosity, you have changed my future.� After receiving a standing ovation by the crowd, the audience was so moved by her story they donated over $200,000 to Orangewood�s scholarship fund.

The culmination of the evening was the presentation of the 2012 Golden Heart Award to Vizio CEO William Wang and San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. The award is given annually to two honorees, one an athlete who has been a positive role model and has made contribu-tions off the field, and the other a local business leader who has exhibited leadership in doing good works and benefiting humanity. �Golden Heart honorees back up their success with generosity,� said Athletes First C.E.O. and Orangewood board member David Dunn.

After receiving the Golden Heart award from presenter and friend Wing Lam, Wang thanked the audience and concluded his comments by donated 10 Vizio all-in-one desktop computers to

Orangewood for their youth. Harbaugh received his award by his parents, Jack and Jackie. At the end of his remarks, he offered one surprise live auction item � a 49ers away game experience which sold for $45,000 to Mike Yurkovich and Chad Yagle. The item offered the experience of joining the team on the team bus and airplane to and from the game, staying at the same hotel as the players, and enjoying the game up close from the sidelines.

�This was a great opportunity for our clients to come together for a great cause,� said Athletes First CEO David Dunn. �I applaud them for taking time out of their extremely busy schedules to help the kids of Orangewood, and to help honor Jim Harbaugh and William Wang.�

By Jessica RodriguezMore and more altruistic college students are

trading jello shots in Cancun for volunteer work. Many nonprofit groups offer a volunteer holiday for individuals, groups and family. This allows the busy college student, without much time to spare, to experience a foreign country while doing some-thing for a worthy cause.

Volunteer opportunities are as wide ranging and diverse as the volunteers. Teaching English, construction and community development, beach renovation, childcare, teaching children how to read, and stopping poaching are just some of the volunteer opportunities available. Volunteer holidays are available in just about any place you can think of, from South America, Kenya, Thailand, Greece, and Haiti.

Besides doing something good for someone else, the volunteer gets a lot from an alternative spring break. The ability to see a foreign country and meet people is a huge benefit. You can learn a lot through the training and hands on experience. You can check with your college to see if they can give college credit for you volunteer experi-ence. You will have something to put on resumes, scholarship forms and future college applications. Many organizations provide summary of training, references, and certifications that can be used in future endeavors.

Some popular organization that offer alternative spring breaks include:

Global Vision International(GVI)The Borneo ProjectEarth Watch InstituteGlobal Service CorpsEcovolunteerGlobal Citizens

Volunteers expenses are usu-ally not paid for which means the student must pay. Cost can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. There are affordable local alternatives to volunteering during your spring break. Fundraising Assistance is offered through some orga-nizations. For example, Global Services Corps has put together a fundraising toolkit to help volun-teers raise the money they need.

If that still isn’t an affordable option, then there are many tem-porary volunteer opportunities in your area. VolunteerMatch.com matches a potential vol-unteer with possible volunteer opportunities in your area. There are already 2.5 million people registered with Volunteer Match. Search for volunteer opportunities by entering your area code. Habitat for Humanity also has nation-

wide volunteer opportunities. So even if you are on a budget, you can do some good during your spring break.

The public is invited to an art exhibition opening featuring Marks on the Land - The View from Here, Aerial Photography by Tom Lamb on Saturday, March 24 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Great Park Gallery at the Palm Court Arts Complex.This exhibition features artwork inspired by the former Ma-rine Corps Air Station El Toro envi-ronment. Attendees can meet Tom Lamb and pick up a signed copy of Marks on the Land - The View from Here, a fully illustrated exhibition catalog that also includes a critical essay by Kristine Thompson.

For several decades, Lamb em-ployed helicopters to photograph Southern California’s agricultural lands, abandoned industrial sites and former military bases from an elevated vantage point. In Lamb’s oversized images, patterns and textures emerge that free the viewer from references to perspective to reveal hidden beauty.

“We are excited to present Marks on the Land -The View from Here, which offers a unique view of South-ern California through the lens of photographer, Tom Lamb,” said Beth Krom, Chair, Orange County

Great Park Board Corpo-ration. “This exhibition is part of a diverse series of cultural experienc-es that have made the Great Park Arts program come alive.”

Marks on the Land -The View from Here is the third in a series of free Great Park Gal-lery exhibitions featur-ing site-specific focus of the Great Park Gal-lery. Last summer, 6,000 visitors enjoyed Plane Air Power: Painting and Sculpture by Jorg Dubin with another 7,400 visi-tor to The World’s Larg-est Photograph and The Legacy Project exhibition.

Marks on the Land - the View from Here opens March 24, with an opening reception from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m, and runs through June 17. The Great Park Gallery is open Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission and parking are free.

The Orange County Great Park is located at Sand Canyon and Marine Way, and can easily be reached by the 5 or 405 freeways. For more information, please visit www.ocgp.org or call 949-724-OCGP.

The Orange County Great Park, with its 1,347-acre master plan, is the focal point of the redevelopment of the publicly-owned portion of the 4,700-acre former Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro. The Great Park features an iconic tethered helium

balloon that rises 400 feet in the air, providing an aerial view of Park de-velopment. Other features include the Carousel, Farm + Food Lab, Kids Rock Playground, Walkable Timeline, Palm Court Arts Complex, North Lawn recreation area and historic Hangar 244. The South Lawn lighted soccer fields and Community Garden will be added in 2012. For more information go to www.ocgp.org

Color It Orange is Orange Coun-ty’s most extensive youth art exhi-bition and has been encouraging artistic expression among school children and honoring their art teach-ers in every Orange County school district for 38 years. Color It Orange is an annual youth art exhibition of Orange County public and private school students from kindergarten through grade 12, including CHEP and individual entries. The exhibition encourages and celebrates youth art and creativity.

This year Laguna College of Art & Design honored Orange County art instructors by inviting them to showcase the best artwork form their students. Over 500 excep-tional pieces of artwork represent-ing the genres of drawing, painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media are exhibited throughout the college campus through March 11-17. Fourteen deserving high school students received Scholarships to LCAD’s summer Portfolio Develop-ment Program. The program is an opportunity for students interested in developing a portfolio for admission to a four year colleges, like LCAD.

For the third consecutive year,

Fluor Cares’ volunteer team installed the exhibi-tion. The college is truly grateful for the continued partnership with Fluor and the Fluor Cares team. Dee Dee Rosenthal, Commu-nity Relations Coordinator for Southern California, shared, “Fluor Cares’ vol-unteers were pleased to donate their time to Color it Orange Youth Art Exhibit. We are proud to be a com-munity partner with LCAD, as it celebrates its 50th Anniversary and continues to inspire Orange County youth and their creative talents.”

President of the college support group Designing Women and coordinator of Color It Orange, Nancy Lawrence said, “This event inspires our youth, en-courages their creative talents and presents an opportunity to enrich our children’s lives. Over the past thirty eight years, thousands of young people have been given an opportunity to exhibit their work pub-licly and have been recognized for

their talents. By valuing creativity, by celebrating the work of children, and by honoring the dedication of their teachers, Color It Orange has added inestimable value to the life of Orange County and has been instrumental in strengthening the arts throughout the region.”

Laguna College of Art & Design provides arts education and cul-tural enrichment including Color It

Orange, throughout the year. These programs are made possible in part by the generous contributions from The Opus Bank Community Foundation and Disneyland Re-sorts. Color It Orange is presented by Designing Women, a volunteer support group of LCAD.

By Cameron StricklandLooking for someplace to travel this

spring break? Need some ideas? I’ve compiled a list of a few of my favorite places to visit on vacation that may not be widely known. All of these are West Coast destinations. In my opinion, my side of the U.S. offers the most magi-cal views! Included in each area is my favorite place to stay and my favorite things to do at said location. Here it goes, hopefully this inspires some fun vacations.

Stehekin, WashingtonThe real fun starts in Chelan, Wash-

ington where you board the Lady of the Lake. The ferry whisks you away to the end of the lake towards a quaint little place called Stehekin (population 95) only accessible by boat or seaplane. The vast wilderness surrounded by the North Cascades will definitely take your breath away! Book a room at the North Cascades Lodge for as low at $118 a night and get ready for some outdoor adventures. Activities range from bicycling ($20/person) to Rainbow Falls, stopping at the amaz-ing Stehekin Pastry Company bakery, fishing, hiking, river rafting, horseback riding($55/person plus tax) and much more! For more info, please visit www.

stehekin.com which is chalk full of more fun ideas for trip planning.

The Edgefield McMenamins - Trout-dale, Oregon

This place is near and dear to my heart, as it was the place where I was married. This beautiful historic hotel lies on 74 acres of farmland and was once a poor farm. The building boasts quirky art and McMenamin’s whimsical design. Most of the rooms have no bathrooms, but each floor has community bathrooms, adding to the charm. Televisions and phones are not offered, ensuring peace and quiet. Rooms rent for as low as $50 a night and there are many activities on property as well as off.

The hotel offers two par-3 golf courses intended for working on your short game($12-$18), Ruby’s Spa and soaking pools, herb gardens, numer-ous little bars and The Black Rabbit restaurant. Throughout the year there are concerts on the lawn and movies showing at the onsite theater. Along with onsite, there are many things to do offsite including Multanomah Falls, The Columbia River, and downtown Troutdale. For more information please visit www.mcmenamins.com.

Leavenworth, Washington

Wander into a Ba-varian world when you visit Leavenworth, Washington. Get a room at the Bavarian River House for as low as $219 a night. Meander the streets of this quaint little “vil-lage” and enjoy the Bavarian feel that sur-rounds you. There is an array of festivals in the month of March, most of which are free, so you’ll have something to look forward to no matter when your spring break falls. www.leavenworth.org has all the info needed to plan your unique Bavarian adventure.

Hearst Castle - San Simeon, Cali-fornia

Take the family on a trip into the past viewing this historical castle. Tours start at $25 per adult and take you into the amazing mansion that includes 58 bedrooms, 60 bathrooms, 2 pools and numerous other rooms to explore. En-joy some camping at the San Simeon Creek Campground ($15-$35) as well as the beaches of the Pacific Ocean. Take a look at all the fun before booking

your trip at www.hearstcastle.org.Smith Rock - Terrebone, OregonEnjoy the scenic views of Smith

Rock, some peaks as high as 550 feet, by taking one of the many hiking trails. Rock climb or hike to look down on the Crooked River and see Central Oregon before your eyes. The park has 1800 climbing routes on and around the actual rock. If you like to live on the wild side, come see why everyone in Central Oregon is so in awe. Stay in Bend or Redmond at on of the many hotels or rent one of Smith Rock’s vacation rentals ( $195/night). Enjoy the outside, beautiful landscape and don’t forget to hike by the infamous Monkey Face and enjoy a nice bottle of Monkey Face Porter afterward! www.smithrock.com

By Janice ForrestEven though the first blooms of spring don’t

remind you of back to school shopping, there’s no better time to get it done. After all, if you’re a bargain shopper, planning ahead is a key ingredient in your savings soufflet.

According to the National Retail Federation the average American family spends $548.72 on back to school merchandise. That’s why the best recipe for back to school shopping is to get started with bargain sales in the spring and summer months. Here are some tips to get your family ready for their school days way before the first autumn bell tolls.

Tip One: Make a ListHaving a detailed shopping list may make

the difference between saving money and go-ing on a spending spree. According to a study by The NPD Group, people who shop with a list are less prone to engage in expensive impulse purchases.

Even though you haven’t received a supply list from your child’s teacher, you can make a list of back to school needs for September. Check out GreatSchools.org for a sample.

To make it easier, divide your list into three categories: consumables, clothing, and catch-all. On your consumables list include pencils, erasers, highlighters, notebooks, binders, mark-ers, glue, tape and scissors. On your clothing

list, include shirts, pants, socks, shoes, and a backpack. On your catch-all list include lunch boxes, storage containers, calculators, locks, and special needs for after school activities like band or soccer.

Tip Two: Shop Early, Shop OftenKeep your list handy whenever you go shop-

ping. The idea is to stay alert for rock bottom prices from clearance sales, close-out deals or other unexpected bargains during the spring and summer months.

Keep up to date on what’s happening at the local office supply stores. You are likely to find cheaper pens and pencils in their clearance bins than you will during the fall back to school bargain days at the department store. If you start the process early, you won’t be forced to spend more during the dog days of summer.

Tip Three: Pick Your PlacesDon’t limit your shopping to big box stores.

Expand your horizons. From your clothing list, you’ll find deals on gently used clothing, shoes and other fashions at thrift and consignment stores. You should also scour yard sales, garage sales and rummage sales with your list in hand.

When shopping for a back pack, don’t set your sights on the cheap packs offered at your near-est mega mart. Instead, keep your eyes peeled at camping supply or outdoor stores. You’ll find a higher quality pack at a better price and you

can be confident that it will serve your child for several years.

Relax!Sending your kids back to school doesn’t have

to bust your budget. They key is to get orga-nized, start early and shop through a variety of channels. If you do, you’ll save money and have more time in your summer to enjoy the sunshine with your kids.

it’S never to Soon to Start thinking aBout Back to School Shopping

By Stephanie HaddadSpring 2012’s trends are fun, flirty, and femi-

nine, especially the ones that are floral! With floral-print fashions and flower embellishments everywhere, getting this look for yourself can be easy. Shop for floral accessories with this guide to key on one of spring 2012’s best trends.

Floral Shoes & SandalsSpring 2012’s trend for flowery footwear will

be everywhere. Either floral patterned shoes or flower appliques will work, with some designers mixing them together for some daring results! From elegant heels to funky flip-flops, floral footwear is in this spring. If you’re shopping for a great pair of floral sandals for the summer, check out some of my favorites, like the Seychelles Rogers Wedge Sandal in Burgundy floral or Clarks Latin Samba Floral Thongs. They’re both adorable and ready to make you fashionable!

Flowery Handbags & PursesCarry your belongings in springtime style with

a floral handbag from your favorite designer! Again, prints and appliques are all around, so you can choose just how flowery you want to go from a wide range of styles. I recommend shop-ping floral handbags like Vera Bradley’s Frame Satchel in Floral Nightingale, Juicy Couture Petals Daydreamer Satchel Handbags, or any floral bag from Betsey Johnson. These choices combine a stylish, modern structure with the flirty, feminine appeal of flowers--perfect!

Floral Scarves & Wraps

You might not have thought about this ac-cessory right away, but why not opt for a classy scarf to dress things up for spring? Add a gor-geous, flowered scarf or wrap to your everyday or evening wear attire for extra flower appeal. I like Ed Hardy’s Floral Rectangle scarf as one option, but you’ll find other great styles by de-signers like Ralph Lauren, Kashmere, Jessica Simpson, and more.

A Flower in Your HairFor the quickest and easiest flower to add to

your ensemble, you can always shop for floral hair accessories. Pick up headbands, hair elastics, and hair clips in gorgeous blooms to really liven things up in spring 2012. There are some ador-

able options out there from Vignette, Jane Tran, and Wet Seal, among many others. Each of them w i l l b r i n g y o u a l i t t l e piece of s p r i n g e v e r y t i m e y o u wear it!

Animal InstinctLeopard, cheetah, and zebra oh

my! Be the call of the wild on the beach this summer with some of these awesome trends. The animal print swimsuits come in all styles this year.

FroM the pool to the Beach 2012 SWiMSuit trenDS are Sizzling hot

The Sexy Monokini That Repre-sents A Bikini

The monokini is hot once again. But expect to see different varia-tions such as the fringe, twist ban-deau, deep plunge, ruffles, criss cross,cut out, jungle print, belted, wrap style, and even tropical print. Color choices are much more vi-brant and bold. A very sexy look for all, especially those who want to cover up the belly somewhat.

By Angel VeeFrom the pool to the beach 2012 swimsuit trends are sizzling hot. From

romantic ruffles to slithering snakeskin, you’re bound to find a style that will make you feel hotter than the sun.

Before we discuss the trends, let’s make sure we understand each other when it comes to choosing a swimsuit. Remember, just because you want to fit in and look cool with a certain trend PLEASE make sure the suit fits appropriately. Why ruin the look by having bulges and rolls gushing out where their not suppose to? Make yourself look hotter than the bathing suit. 2012 has a lot of styles and prints to consider.

Black And White AffairThe best color combination, you

can’t go wrong. You will see black and white checkered print, stripes, ruffles, black solid bottom with white waist, and even a tuxedo style.

Bursts Of Bright ColorsColor choices for 2012 summer

this year remind me of the islands. Expect to see bright aqua, deep bold vibrant cobalt blue, neon fuch-sia, dreamy orange, citrus lemon, citrus lime, and bright white.

Slithering SnakeskinSlither your way into the water with a snake or python print. This print

accommodates all swimsuit styles including monokini, bikini, tankini, halter, one piece, high cut leg, pleated, cut out etc.

Flirty Bling And GemsGrab a little bit more attention showing some rhinestones, gems, crys-

tals, beads, and sequins. Lots of bling is in.Other swimsuit trends that are hot are tie style, flirty fringe, tie dye,

bandeaus and structured molded cups.
