the wonerful and iconic Fabergé

Fabergé, the world’s most iconic artist jeweller, creates extraordinary jewellery, timepieces and objets d’art, as well as bespoke commissions for a discerning international clientele. Founded in 1842, Fabergé has been the most revered name in jewellery ever since Peter Carl Fabergé became official goldsmith to the Russian Imperial Court; the house created exquisite jewels and objects, including the legendary series of lavish and ingenious Imperial Easter Eggs. Peter Carl Fabergé was renowned for his exquisite and artistic use of colour, making the most of each gemstone’s unique characteristics and developing a vibrant enamel palette. His worldwide reputation attracted royalty, nobility, tycoons, industrialists and the artistic intelligentsia of not only Paris, Moscow and London but also America and the Far East, becoming the ultimate gift purveyor. In 1917, the Russian Revolution brought an abrupt end to the Romanov dynasty, and to the House of Fabergé. The company was nationalised, all production closed down and Peter Carl Fabergé and his family fled Russia. Following its founder’s death in Switzerland, the Fabergé heirs lost the rights to the Fabergé name.

History came full circle in October 2007 when Fabergé, under new ownership and direction, announced the reunification of the Fabergé brand with the Fabergé family. This opened a new chapter in the intriguing story of Fabergé, and set the stage for a total revitalisation of the Fabergé name and philosophy, in tune with its original values, aesthetics and spirit. Today, Fabergé takes inspiration from its storied past to create eternally original pieces that, when worn, convey breath-taking individuality. By painting with the world’s finest coloured gemstones, Fabergé explores the art of colour through creations which are designed to become future heirlooms. Celebrating the concept of the artist-jeweller in today’s world of luxury, Fabergé traces the legacy of excellence in creativity, design and craftsmanship to introduce a new era of enchanting and enduring personal possessions and gifts for contemporary connoisseurs. Current collections are available at Fabergé boutiques in New York, London and Geneva, as well as at Harrods in London and other exclusive international retailers. Selected items are also available via Fabergé’s online boutique at Faberge.com.

Fun Easter Activities for Kids

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, getting 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 paper 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 magnet: 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. Looking for Easter crafts, printables, puzzles, coloring pages and other simple activities? Check out www. dltk-kids.com for plenty of fun for all ages. Other creative Easter activities can be found at www.rainbowcastle.org.

Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life. ~Janine di Giovanni

The San Clemente Crest was originally created and used by Ole Hanson as his logo in the 1920’s. Research from the San Clemente Historical Society shows the Crest can be found on Ole Hanson Co. real estate advertising, letterhead, and other items from that time. Photos of swimwear at the 1928 Olympic Trials at the Ole Hanson Beach Club were found to feature the

Crest, and the Crest is still in use by the City today adorning Marine Safety uniforms and the logo of the Municipal Golf Course. A variety of apparel was recently printed featuring the San Clemente Crest and is available for public purchase at the Ole Hanson Beach Club and the San Clemente Aquatics Center: Hats $18, T-Shirts $10, and Tank Tops $10.

Planning the perfect Easter egg hunt From the White House lawn to the family living room, children of all ages will soon be searching behind bushes and couches to find that last treasured egg. If you don’t have an Easter egg hunt to attend in your community this year, consider planning your own and inviting all the neighbors to participate. Here are some tips for planning the perfect Easter egg hunt: Find out what kids want Kids each have their favorite items they’re hoping they’ll find in their baskets. To deliver the best gifts from the Easter Bunny, you have to think like the kids. See what kids think about the Easter Bunny and the goodies he’s going to bring this year in this adorable video by Personal Creations. Pick the right eggs Load up on eggs of all shapes and sizes. Plastic eggs are the best for hiding, because if an egg isn’t found, it won’t spoil and cause a mess later. Plastic eggs are very colorful, making them easier to spot by both little children and older kids alike. If you’re inviting a lot of younger children to the egg hunt, consider placing several eggs in a soft Easter basket like the Large Plush Bunny Basket and placing it under a tree to make it faster and easier for kids to find. Invite the Easter Bunny Rent an Easter Bunny costume and ask someone to wear it to welcome guests of all sizes to your Easter egg hunt. Ask someone else to be a digital photographer who can email your guests photos taken of their kids posing with the Easter bunny - parents will appreciate the opportunity to have their kids take a picture with the Easter Bunny without having to make a special visit to the local mall. Hang a personalized Egg Hunt Banner Page 6

in the yard and decorate the area with streamers and balloons to give your backyard a festive feel. Prepare for rain April showers aren’t outside of the scope of possibilities, so prepare for a rainy day situation. You don’t want a handful of disappointed children at the party. Utilize furniture and the garage to hide eggs throughout the house. Prepare a map of the house and how many eggs are in each room so kids who aren’t familiar with the layout of the home can still find their fair share of hidden eggs. Consider treats that aren’t candy Don’t limit your Easter party treats to just

The San Clemente News

sweets. Stuffed bunnies make the perfect companion for young kids, and are a great gift to hide along with the eggs. Parents will appreciate that there are options to take home other than candy, and kids will have something to keep for years to come. To give it that extra special touch, personalize a stuffed animal with each kid’s name at www.PersonalCreations.com. With these tips, you’ll have a successful Easter egg hunt that your friends and neighbors - and their children - will be talking about for weeks to come.

FESTIVAL BALLET’S TOP STARS TWIRL INTO THE FUTURE By Lydia E. Ringwald Photos by Skye Schmidt Star ballerinas, Skye Schmidt, Tara Ghassemieh and Willa BouwensKilleen in Orange County’s premiere ballet company Festival Ballet have each carved a unique career in dance. In addition to performing leading roles in Festival Ballet’s four productions each year, company ballerinas Skye and Tara also explore parallel career opportunities in teaching, choreography, film and movie performance and in the instance of ballerina Skye Schmidt, dance photography. Skye Schmidt a recent graduate in Dance Performance from UC Irvine was trained from the age of 5 at the Festival Ballet dance school Southland Ballet Academy. When she was 17, Skye was selected in the top 10 in YAGP competitions (Youth American Grand Prix) in New York and continued with performance in Festival Ballet productions as well as UC Irvine productions throughout her college years. While at the university, Skye also cultivated a parallel career as a photographer. Included in her portfolio are images not only of dance performance on stage capturing the magic of stage lighting, costume and set design but also backstage with images that illuminate and offer insight into the life of a dancer. To c h a l l e n g e c o n v e n t i o n a l vision, Skye also experiments with photographing dancers outside in natural light often with the Huntington Beach pier as the backdrop with sand and ocean. At her peak professionally, Skye performs in a variety of roles for various dance companies. Watch for her in the upcoming performance in a star role of ‘The Secret Garden’ at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood, April 28-30. After a year in New York, performing

with ABT (American Ballet Theater), Tara Ghassemieh returned to California and joined Festival Ballet in 2009. She has starred in lead roles in Festival Ballet’s ‘The Nutcracker,’ ‘Don Quixote’ and ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and in original choreographies designed for the Festival Ballet Gala. Tara teaches at Southland Ballet’s studios in Fountain Valley and Irvine and also creates unique solo choreographies for studio dancers who compete in the annual YAGP competition. Her talent as a choreographer was recognized when she achieved the Outstanding Choreographer Award in 2013 . In addition to performance, choreography and teaching, Tara appeared in the film ‘Step Up’ as ballet dancer and is pursuing other commercial film opportunities. Perhaps you have enjoyed the opening scene to ‘The Nutcracker’, set in the enchanting Victorian living room where parents dance together as partners in front of the delightfully decorated Christmas Tree. Over the years, Willa Bouwens-Killeen has danced this famous character role, in front center stage. Willa has studied ballet at Southland Ballet since from its inception in 1983 and continues to take two classes a week. She studied ballet with Director Salwa Rizkalla for 34 years while simultaneously completing a BA in Geography at Cal State Fullerton and working in a parallel career as a Planner for the City of Costa Mesa. ‘My work as a City Planner subsidizes my training in ballet,’ chimes Willa cheerfully. For Willa, it was thrilling for participate not only on the theater stage, but also in theater construction. During her 36 years at the Department of Building and Planning, she worked with the developers who visualized and built the multiple theater complex at Segerstrom Center.

During Festival Ballet performances, in addition to dancing onstage, Willa also busy backstage sewing costumes and doing last minute costume repairs; pinning headdresses carefully into the coiffeur of each ballerina to make sure that accessories are secure and will withstand the centrifugal force of multiple spins and daring leaps. B u t t h a t ’s n o t a l l . W i l l a ’s achievements and honorary duties continue as a Festival Ballet Board Member, overseeing the company budget and staff needs. ‘Classes at Southland Ballet start in the morning and continue into the evening hours. Some students who are dedicated to a career in dance, often are home schooled and learn online so that they can devote themselves to dance. We must have adequate staff and budget to accommodate student needs.’ Also, during rehearsals for the four ballet productions, those who have been selected to participate will be at the studio Saturday and Sunday for rehearsals. Dancers in the Festival Ballet company and up-and-coming dancers in the Junior Festival Ballet take five to six classes a week, training themselves for demanding roles in

the classical dance and cultivating confidence and style. Many aspire to become professional dancers in the famous ballet companies of the world. Many may choose other careers but will always cherish within the discipline and power of dance training. ‘We have dancers who eventually earn college degrees in math and science. Often they attribute success in their academic studies to their disciplined training in ballet. In addition, ballet training is impressive on a resume when applying to colleges.’ One thing all dancers learn is time management. Students at rehearsal utilize spare moments for academic study and may be seen completing algebra problems on the benches and spaces to the side of the dance floor while they wait for their turn to perform. Southland Ballet dancers apply the versatility, the discipline, the creativity of dance to the dance of life, each to create a unique career path that celebrates life and art. Star dancers Skye Schmidt and Tara Ghassiamieh and seasoned dance performer Willa BouwensKilleen are twinkling examples.

Burning, Tingling, Numbness or Pain? Don’t Suffer Any Longer!

Proven Medical Neuropathy Treatment with an 87% Success Rate Available in Newport Beach Preparing an elaborate Easter spread for your family doesn’t have to be an expensive (or exhausting) endeavor. Rethinking familiar dishes and ingredients is an easy way to add a special touch to your meal. Add a dash of affordable elegance to your Easter brunch with these simple tips from the experts at ALDI: For a colorful twist on an Easter classic, try pickling your deviled eggs. Pickling punches up the flavor of these tasty bites and gives your eggs a festive hue. Offer dishes that are pretty and practical. Bake pre-cooked angel hair pasta in muffin tins until the tops are crisp. Fill your pasta “nests” with ingredients such as poached eggs, cheese or diced ham, and you have an attractive brunch dish that is portioned just right for each serving. Cater to the individual tastes of your guests with a mimosa bar. Set out a table with champagne, a selection of fruit juices and sliced fruits and berries so your guests can mix and match as they wish. Chocolate-dipped desserts are easy and always a crowd pleaser. Make better-for-you treats by dipping Easter goodies in smooth, dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for lower sugar content. Or for a sweet treat without too much added sugar, repurpose dark chocolate by melting it for fondue, and serve an assortment of fruits or salty snacks, like pretzels, for guests to dip. Explore new ways to enjoy timeless classics. Maple is a terrific addition to sweet and savory snacks, from bacon to cookies and beyond. Give brunch a sweet spin with these Carrot Cake Waffles, which feature a decadent maple cream cheese drizzle. You can find the premium, affordable ingredients to make this crowdpleasing brunch recipe at ALDI, along with everything else you’ll need to

Olive Crest Celebrates St. Paddy’s Day and Raises $200,000 for Project Independence

The San Clemente News

Honorary Chair and former LA Rams great Vince Ferragamo, Kerri Photos by Ann Chatillon Dunkelberger and Tim Bauer A St. Paddy’s Day celebration was certainly festive for a sold-out crowd of 336 guests. The event benefited Olive Crest and was held at the Newport Beach Country Club, yes - on St. Paddy’s Day! Former LA Rams’ star quarterback and enthusiastic community supporter Vince Ferragamo served as honorary chair, with Carrie Brock taking the reins as event chair this year. The event was a celebration by raising nearly $200,000 that will be designated for Project Independence - Olive Crest Youth, for ages 14-24. Whether a youth is in foster care, a group home, transitional housing, or living on his or her own, the program creates a relationship-based plan designed for each youth’s specific needs. Prior to the sit-down dinner, guests enjoyed a champagne reception and were entertained by two musicians from Cillian’s Bridge Irish band playing the fiddle (violin) and mandolin along with two young costumed girls dancing an Irish jig! Guests also enjoyed whiskey sampling, the chance to win some opportunity prizes and best of all, purchasing a Golden Ticket opportunity which offered Michelle Hatch and Dennis Kuhl with Kim and Bob Miller the winner a choice of a live auction item - all the buyers of a Golden Ticket were the proud wearers of flashing green blinky rings. More on this later… During the program, Roshaunda Crain, received the Shining Star Award for her success, and whose life was transformed through Project Independence. She gave a beautiful testimony of how Olive Crest’s program restored her life and how Project Independence helps the futures for vulnerable young adults by providing them with Independent Living Specialists, Case Managers and Mentors, as well as safe and secure apartment homes. The live auction created a bidding war for many who were feverish for getting their item. Some of the items were: Golf and Lunch with Vince Ferragamo and Newport Beach Country Club member Dennis Bader at the exclusive Newport Beach Country Club; An Owner’s Box at Del Mar Turf Club for four, including $500 towards a lovely weekend at La Costa Resort in Carlsbad; A Luxury Maui Getaway, which includes $1,000 airfare on Hawaiian Airlines, a 7-day, 6-night stay in a condo with a beautiful ocean view room in Kaanapali, Maui; A dreamy escape to Los Cabos in a luxurious, private home for one week in San Jose del Cabo, known for its sandy beaches and colonial buildings; a dinner for two at Back Bay Bistro with Vince Ferragamo Lori Sweeney and Lorraine Roshaunda Crain with Event along with a past or present LA Rams players; and a luxurious 12-day Cruise Chair Carrie Brock Bader on the Holland America Line on a pick from a variety of destinations. Now, about those Golden Tickets - guests could purchase a Golden Tickets for $100 each to have first their pick of one of the live auction items. The winner was Bill Kaley. He selected the Napa Valley wine tasting and tour for four people, with a credit towards a stay of the Westin Versa in downtown Napa. For the “raise the paddle” portion of the program, when the auctioneer got down to $100, Ferragamo offered a signed football with a photo op with him for the last bidder to bid $100. It was a great way to get folks to bid - the winner was Malcolm Bailey, he was grinning from ear to ear! Entertainment was provided by Cillian’s Bridge Irish band. Since 1973, Olive Crest has transformed the lives of more than 70,000 abused, neglected, and at-risk children and their families. The nonprofit works tirelessly to meet the individual needs of kids in crisis by providing safe homes, counseling and education for both youth and parents. The many innovative programs offered reflect its conviction that strengthening the family is one of the most powerful ways to help heal children.

History of the Easter Bonnet An Easter Bonnet represents the he notes

tail-end of a tradition of wearing new clothes at Easter, 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 bonnet with 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 selfconsciously 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 references 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,

“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 designs 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.

Chef George Duran

osting an elegant Easter brunch is easy when you build a menu around exceptional ingredients. Your dishes don’t have to be overly complicated; simple dishes are perfect for the occasion when you let stand-out flavors steal the show. Brunch calls for a combination of light and savory fare, and an ingredient like Jarlsberg Brand Cheese lets you go either way. Best known for its classic wedge, this nutty, mild cheese is also available sliced and shredded – perfect for adding a distinctive taste to nearly any indulgent dish you can imagine. Quiche is a brunch staple, and no variation of this classic is complete without cheese – in this case, a rich, creamy layering of Jarlsberg’s unmistakable flavor does the trick. For a lighter bite, try these Cheesy, Crispy Smashed Potatoes from Chef George Duran, host of TLC’s “Ultimate Cake Off” and Food Network’s “Ham on the Street.” You could go a more decadent route with Duran’s Brown Sugar Ham and Cheese Sticky Buns, or even appeal to kids of all ages with his Spicy Tater Tot Breakfast Muffins.

J e l ly B e a n s : A C o l o r f u l H i s to r y a n d Ass o c i at i o n w i t h E a s t e r By Shaun Stanert You 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 personalities of fellow jellybean aficionados may or may not prove true. Still, it appears 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 manufacturer of Reagan’s selfprofessed 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 addition 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. Nevertheless, based on various data, Easter is second in Holiday candyeating 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 Page 16

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 specifically so that Reagan could serve a patriotic mix of red white and blue jellybeans at his inaugural parties. Reagan’s favorite 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 center 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 involved

The San Clemente News

expanding the flavor options by including unusual flavors such as Watermelon, 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 Jellybeans to new heights of gastronomic popularity. Both traditional and gourmet jellybeans 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 traditional 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 ingredients 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 sportbean varieties such as Berry Blue, a fusion of natural flavors, electrolytes, and antioxidants, and the Jelly Belly Company’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 conventional 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 Jellybeans are ever evolving, and continually tested. The process is restrained only by the outer limit of the manufacturer’s imagination and the new arrival’s marketability. 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 shelfready product, according to How Products are Made, a reference book, published by Thomson-Gale. Indeed American consumers are apparently so charmed by the mouthwatering, 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 approximately 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 percent of children 6 to 11 years claim to prefer eating jellybeans one bean at a time, while 23 percent profess a preference 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 Pearson education’s “infoplease” website.

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.

TO REACH THE HIGH INCOME HOMEOWNERS OF San CLemente, WHO WOULD LIKE TO BUY FROM YOU.

Sandra White Display Advertising

San Clemente News, publishers of Coto de Caza News l Ladera Ranch News l Mission Viejo News l Newport News l San Clemente News

QUARTER PAGE COLOR This month I have terrific low prices on quarter page full color ad packages. Plus you can choose to either pre pay or pay as you go. But remember these rates apply only if you order this month. Smart business owners and marketing experts agree that the best advertising program is one which brings you clients and customers. Savvy business managers are wise to be concerned about high volume publications that don’t deliver a strong local audience that would generate immediate income for your business. Major daily newspapers like the Times and the Register reach nearly a million readers, but do you really need to pay their high prices to reach your customers in San Clemente, Talega, Dana Point? While some glossy monthly magazines are stylish, their costly rates may not be realistic compared to choosing a highly effective newspaper like these reasonably priced local newspapers which are received by your most likely preferred customers of high income homeowners. This advertising costs you far less money. These five local newspapers are attractive, effective and affordable. Let’s talk today!

Why do San Clemente Readers read the San Clemente News? In the year 2006, the Superior Court of Orange County adjudicated (approved) The San Clemente News as the official newspaper for San Clemente. That’s why you regularly see stories about the San Clemente City Council, Chamber of Commerce, and prominent San Clemente people in the San Clemente News.

Easy do-it-yourself Easter: Fun Easter projects for the whole family The Easter bunny is right around the corner, which means chocolate eggs, chick marshmallows and stuffed bunnies will soon be popping up around the home. Celebrate with a build-your-own Easter basket with the kids for some quality time for the entire family. DIY doesn’t mean it needs to be complicated or difficult. Here are a few great ideas with some easy shortcuts to make it an enjoyable experience for everyone. The basket It all starts with the basket. The egg hunt and basket fillings wouldn’t be complete without an Easter basket decked out in bright spring colors. It’s not easy to spend hours making your own Easter basket, but you can still make it your own with custom Easter baskets from Personal Creations. Pick out the size, color pattern and design, and add your kids’ names to make it a personalized basket that can be from the Easter Bunny himself. Best of all, it comes with a fluffy plush bunny and Easter sweets to make it a complete package for the entire family to enjoy. The eggs Colored eggs are an essential part of any Easter celebration. This year, add a fun and simple twist to the usual DIY egg coloring with a tissue paper egg dye. Simply wet the eggs, wrap it in brightly colored tissue paper, and

spray the eggs with water to ensure all of the paper has been wetted. Once the egg is dry, kids will be able to easily remove the tissue paper. Beneath, they’ll find a perfectly dyed egg that carries the appearance of stained glass. The sweets No Easter celebration is complete without treats to sweeten the basket. Marshmallow chicks and chocolate eggs are a classic, but adding a gourmet twist to the list of everyday sweets can make receiving this Easter basket an unforgettable experience for even the adults in the family. For an easy twist on the classic, ask kids to shred leftover bits of wrapping paper left around the house to make homemade Easter grass, and add it to a simple Easter treat pail. Then, fill the pail with Easter-themed cake pops from Shari’s Berries for a festive gourmet treat everyone can enjoy. The fluff Bunnies get all the attention during Easter, but little chicks can be an adorable alternative to add to the basket. For this simple craft, ask children to draw and color a picture of a chick. Make sure the chick is facing forward and not from a profile viewpoint. They do not need to draw the wings; those come later. When the little artists are finished, cut the chicks out. Next, help children trace

their own hands and cut these traces out. Glue the traced hands to the chick with the thumbs up, and just like that, the chick has wings with a familiar look. The grownup basket Grownups deserve some Easter fun too. Forego the basket filled with candy and design a fresh and colorful take on the Easter basket. Start with a classic wicker basket

with liner and add some fresh spring flowers to brighten up the look. Fresh flowers are a beautiful way to brighten anyone’s day, and fresh, vibrant flowers from ProFlowers make it easy to order and arrange flowers quickly and easily. Bright spring daffodils arranged in a pretty spread or 30 multi-colored tulips hanging loosely out of the basket is a great way to celebrate Easter in an upscale way.
