Spring Break 2012: Mother-Daughter Activities By Kristen Bentley Mother-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 being 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 digging 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 Studio Many yoga studios have motherdaughter 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 meditation, to try out hula-hoop yoga, to take a workshop with travelling yogis, or maybe to listen to chanting or yoga-style music. 3. Try Out Local Restaurants Cities and towns are full of locally owned restaurants. Spring break is a perfect time to go to restaurants 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 Classes Local Y’s, non-profits, and local craft stores offer free or low cost craft lessons. Mothers and daughters can learn the latest crafting techniques or learn a traditional art like sketching or sculpting. Many local art venues offer special events during school vacations, so if mothers and daughters want to get down and dirty in the local arts, check out your local art venues’ spring break schedules. 5. Take a Hike If 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 educational. 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.

Spring Break Trips in Alaska By Christi Bowers Spring 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 totally 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 somewhere 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 different 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 wilderness, 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, enjoying 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 Silverking 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

Specializing in music lessons for all ages. “I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for in the patterns of music... are the keys to learning.” - Plato

in this environment. 5. Visit the Chena Hot Springs Resort, where you can also see the Aurora Borealis. 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 distinguished arts advocate, Dana Gioia, to deliver the keynote speech at the 6th Annual Art Star Awards to be held on Sunday, April 1 at [seven-degrees] in Laguna 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 National 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.

Business Week Maga-

zine referred to him as “The Man Who Saved the NEA.” Gioia’s creation of a series of NEA National 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, Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience, NEA Jazz Masters, American Masterpieces, and Poetry Out Loud, the Arts Endowment has successfully 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 individuals from the arts, sciences, professions, business and community leadership.

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 Alliance 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 organizations of Laguna Beach, and to serve as a united voice for the arts in the city.

Wine Appreciation -- It Just Takes Practice! 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 vocabulary of formal wine analysis can make the process intimidating. After all, what the heck is a boysenberry? 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 compounds 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 aromatic compounds. The process of fermentation 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 olfactory 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 memories. Making matters even more confusing, 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 delicious. Evaluating wines seriously -- complete 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 -- countries like the United States, Australia, and Argentina -- tend to offer riper fruit aromas thanks to warmer growing conditions. Old World wines, on the other hand, are generally more restrained. California Chardonnays, for example, are typically marked by notes of pineapple and melon. Chardonnays from France -- especially the region of Chablis -- 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 blackberries 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 “secondary” aromas like vanilla, chocolate, and coffee by using oak. That butter smell one so often encounters in California Chardonnay is the result of “malolactic 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! David White, a wine writer, is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com. His columns are housed at Wines.com, the fastest growing wine portal on the Internet.

Sawdust Artists’ Benevolence Fund “HeART of Laguna” On Saturday, March 3 at 7 pm, the Sawdust Artists’ Benevolence Fund Trustees hosted a successful 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 Trustee, Mike Kelly, voiced the importance 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 community, 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 wonderful 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 lifeblood of Laguna.” Supporters of this event enjoyed the dynamic live act of rock ‘n roll songs accompanying the monologues from the plays of William Shakespeare. Energetic and light-hearted, Shakespeare’s Fool is a unique and original theatrical production not to be missed. The Sawdust Artists’ Benevolence 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

Artists’ Benevolence Fund Trustees/Event Committee (left to right): Susan Wade, Susan Davis, Larry Gill, Mike Kelly, Sue Thompson any debilitating circumstance that prevents the artist from doing their craft. The Artists’ Benevolence Fund was started in 1987 to help a critically 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.

Pro Football Players Rally - Raise Over $600k for Orangewood 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 Melvin 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 exceptionally 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 contributions 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 NFL player Joe Flacco (Baltimore concluded his comments by donated 10 Ravens) and committee member Keri Vizio all-in-one desktop computers to Dugan Page 10

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.

Alternative Spring Break Volunteering During Spring Break By Jessica Rodriguez More 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 something 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 experience. 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 Project Earth Watch Institute Global Service Corps Ecovolunteer Global Citizens Volunteers expenses are usually 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 organizations. For example, Global Services Corps has put together a fundraising toolkit to help volunteers raise the money they need. If that still isn’t an affordable option, then there are many temporary volunteer opportunities in your area. VolunteerMatch. com matches a potential volunteer with possible volunteer opportunities in your area. There are already 2.5 million people wide volunteer opportunities. So even if you are registered with Volunteer Match. Search for volunteer opportunities by entering your on a budget, you can do some good during your area code. Habitat for Humanity also has nation- spring break. The Newport News

It’s Never to Soon to Start Thinking About Back to School Shopping By Janice Forrest Even 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 List Having a detailed shopping list may make the difference between saving money and going 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 catchall. On your consumables list include pencils, erasers, highlighters, notebooks, binders, markers, 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 Often Keep your list handy whenever you go shopping. 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 Places Don’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 nearest 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 organized, 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.

Spring 2012 Accessory Trend: Shop Floral Handbags, Shoes & More By Stephanie Haddad Spring 2012’s trends are fun, flirty, and feminine, 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 & Sandals Spring 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 & Purses Carry 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 shopping 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 Page 18

You might not have thought about this accessory right away, but why not opt for a classy scarf to dress things up for spring? Add a gorgeous, 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 designers like Ralph Lauren, Kashmere, Jessica Simpson, and more. A Flower in Your Hair For 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 bring you a little piece of spring every t i m e y o u wear it!
