B12 THE COAST NEWS FEB. 25, 2011 PLUNGE CONTINUED FROM B1 under. The only rule is to have fun. “Anywhere from get your feet wet, to go all the way in, it’s your choice,” Contreras said. “Whatever they feel comfortable with works for us.” “We do this to show CSEA gets out there to have something for our kids,”Ted Chavez, member of the California School Employees Association Chapter 370, said. Navy surgical technicians and nurses, college professors and Oceanside and Carlsbad police were among the participants who took the plunge. “Law enforcement are big supporters of Special Olympic events,” James Henderson, chair of the criminal justice department at the University Let us pamper your pooch Dog Day Care Deluxe Boarding Grooming Full-Service or Do-it-Yourself Training Puppy classes Behavior Issues K-9 Good Citizen Board & Train Visit Us today! 1995 Peacock Blvd., Oceanside www.DogDayzofCalifornia.com 760-631-3299 of Phoenix Southern California Campus, said. “I have a special needs daughter, so I have a personal passion. I’m glad my employer is a big giver.” The tradition has taken place at the Oceanside Pier for five years and is practiced nationwide to raise funds for the Special Olympics. Individuals are encouraged to raise $50 or more for the cause. “All of our programs are free to all athletes,” Contreras said. “Without fundraisers, we can’t have them.” “This has always had a special place in my heart,” Steve Atkinson, event emcee and 10 News anchor, said. “In different cities, in different jobs, I’ve always supported the Special Olympics. It’s a wonderful, wonderful cause.” The plunge was rained out last year for the first time. Strong winds and ocean currents made it unsafe for swimmers to go out in the water. Some supporters showed up to turn in their donations and collect their event T-shirts. This year participants were encouraged to come out and show their support rain or shine.

Participants who jumped in for the plunge raised an estimated $14,000. Another $6,000 was expected to be raised by the day’s silent auction and follow up fundraiser at Joe’s Crab Shack. The Torch Run is another fundraiser for the Special Olympics, which is held in June. More than 60 different government agencies raise funds and send runners to carry the Special Olympics torch from Chula Vista to Orange County in the two-day fundraiser event. TASTE OF WINE CONTINUED FROM B5 Valley industrial area but wow! Amazing collection of wines and a small sit down restaurant that has been honored by Wine Spectator Magazine with its Grand Award for best wines with food since 1989. Other area restaurants that have converted to the “trifecta” format include Sage Grill in Encinitas, San Diego Wine & Culinary Center, PAON in Carlsbad and VINZ Wine Bar & Tasting Room in Escondido. Wine news to use I hope you have tried FLAVOR, the new restaurant in the Del Mar Plaza, with a view of the Pacific to die for. A first-step into the dining room from the remarkable front entrance and bar area gets an A-rated “WOW” for its expansive view of the Pacific from nearly every table. The sweeping window is about a 180-degree panorama. It’s all well and good, but the wine and food is really what FLAVOR is all about. Try one of the extensive collection of half-bottles, a brilliant idea to keep costs down, yet enjoy a premium, memorable wine. And as the name suggests, the menu is seasonal and as fresh as today with all ingredients working to enhance the flavor of the menu selection. See more at www.flavordelmar.com.

For the first time, she is also hosting a summer installment that will feature alternative rock this June, also at La Costa Resort and Spa. “Literally, we’re working right up until the last minute and it makes me crazy,” she said. “It’s a lot of work but ultimately, it’s extremely gratifying.” For more information about Michele Clark’s annual Sunset Sessions event, visit www.sunsetsessions.org. tect the interest of our member agencies and their rate payers.” SDCWA has justified the 14.7 percent wholesale cost increase for 2011 by citing rising costs to purchase and deliver imported water to the San Diego region as well as ris- IRON & WINE Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam played audience requests during his Sunset Sessions performance on Feb. 18.

Play time: A colander can help corral bathtub toys. The holes let the toys breathe and drip dry, too. Kids will enjoy using one at the beach or in a sandbox as a sifting toy. Don’t have young kids? Use it to hold a loofah, washcloth, soaps, etc., in your bathroom. Crafts: Use a drill and a clock kit and make a whimsical clock. Or make a creative hanging lamp by adding a lamp cord. Visit www.instructables.com/id/Ha ngingColander-Lamp-Shade for a tutorial. Gift container: Use as a no-waste gift container. Fill it with homemade goodies, an Italian gift “basket” or kitchen items. Plants: A colander can make a fun container for plants. The bowl shape lends itself well to being made into a hanging planter. Plant herbs or seeds for a beautiful mini container garden. Use one to grow sprouts, too. Visit www.youtube.com/user/Livin gApartment for a how-to video. Steamer: A metal colander can be used as a makeshift steamer basket. Place vegetables in the colander and place the colander inside a large pan (that allows the colander to balance on the edges and not be immersed) of water to steam vegetables. Yogurt cream cheese: Make a homemade substitute for cream cheese.

OMWD remains committed to mini- shares a recipe: “You’ll need one tub of low-fat plain yogurt, cheesecloth, a colander and mixing bowl. Place the colander over the mixing bowl.Wet the cheesecloth and line the colander with it. Dump the yogurt onto the cheesecloth so the yogurt can drain through the cloth. Let drain for an hour. Tie the corners and leave to drain overnight in the fridge. The next day put the cheese in a storage container. Discard the B13 liquid left in the mixing bowl. You can eat it straight (like cream cheese), or you can mix spinach and other flavors into it for a great dip or spread.” GRAND OPENING SPECIALS FREE Neck or Hands Treatment with Mixto fractional laser resurfacing of the Face!
