REPTILE IN A BUN: Brats Berlin food truck uses exotic ingredients such as alligator (above), rattlesnake, and elk for their bratwursts. Student

Development said they hope to have food trucks on campus three to four times a week to help make the campus more lively and to provide greater options.

A founding faculty member endowed more than $140,000 in scholarship funds to Saddleback College Foundation in appreciation for the aid she received while attending college.

The late professor Linda Richardson Rice, who passed away in 2010, bequeathed the funds to help students majoring in education or planning a career in the field, according to a letter from the law office of Jane Bauer, the attorney carrying out her will.

An educator for more than 50 years, her generosity stemmed from her passion for teaching, dedication to the college, as well as her appreciation for the scholarships she received while she was a student in college, according to information provided by the letter.

“She was very attached to the college,” said Trudi Baggs, special projects coordinator of the Foundation, “she just wants to give back what she received when she was in college.”

Rice joined Saddleback as one of its first faculty members when it was established in 1968.

She taught secretarial science initially, but contributed further by originating many computerrelated courses during a time when computers were just gaining popularity in consumer use.

“She was very instrumental

in starting courses in computer science and business management,” Baggs said.

She had also authored a number of textbooks as well as written manuals for the International Association of Book-keepers.

When she retired in 1995 after 27 years of teaching at Saddleback, she was given The Computer Information Management Recognition Award for Distinguished Contributions by the college in recognition for her efforts.

But retirement did not stop her from continuing to teach.

For the next seven years, she remained in Saddleback as a part-time instructor of business science and computer courses.

After a short departure, she returned in 2006 as a faculty member for the Emeritus Institute until her death.

Distribution of Rice’s endowment will begin in May. In order to quality for the scholarship, students must be majoring or planning a career in education.

They must also have completed at least 12 credit units at Saddleback and be enrolled in at least six credit units, in addition to being in good academic standing.

The Saddleback College Foundation is committed to making higher education accessible to students in South Orange County. It provides scholarships to students in order to enhance the quality of their learning experience. Financial support is gained through community fundraising as well as donor endowments.

Business Science film series back again Super Size Me starts off series of films that will run through end of spring semester.

Riley Tanner The Business Science Department of Saddleback is hosting its Spring Film Series this semester.

Each event features a movie celebrating a particular theme.

The first film “Super Size Me” was shown Monday in BGS 250 in honor of New Year’s resolutions, particularly in regards to personal fitness and nutrient intake.

This cinematic representation of one man’s intentional descent into poor health shows the viewer the dangers associated with poor diet and a lack of exercise.

Morgan Spurlock, the protagonist of the film, restricts himself to a diet consisting only of McDonald’s cuisine for three meals a day for an entire month.

In addition to controlling his food intake, Spurlock also confines himself physically by abstaining from the gym and walking less to work by taking more taxis.

Shanie Peterson, age 18, who majors in Corrections and Criminal Justice at

Saddleback College has a similar story to what Spurlock did in the film, but with different results physically.

“I have done the same thing and I haven’t gotten fat,” Peterson said.

Spurlock’s daily movements were limited to non-exercise activities, and he did not allow himself to walk more than 5,000 steps daily, or roughly 2.5 miles.

Saddleback student David Miranda, 21, anthropology, believes that the film was unrealistic.

“It was an eye opening film, but most Americans do work out,” Miranda said.

Miranda and others pointed out that the horrendous daily regimen in the film takes its toll on the willing test subject, and the once fit individuals’ physique degrades rapidly.

With an original body fat percentage of 11 percent that climbed to 18 percent towards the end of the experiment,

“Super Size Me” certainly lived up to its namesake.

Berlin inspired food truck serves exotic sausages Riley Tanner Marco Madariaga had never eaten alligator. But when a friend pointed out to the 20-year-old Chicano studies major that one could obtain the predator in hot dog form at the local food truck, he was intrigued.

“I was walking out of class when my friend ran into me and she told me that she’d just tried some alligator and it was really good,” Marariaga said around a mouthful of the reptilian sausage. “It’s something I’ve never tasted before, but definitely worth the $8.50 I paid for it.”

“Yeah, the exotic animals are really popular,” said Joe Sue, 33, owner and manager.

“We’ve been selling them left and right.”

By exotic, Sue means that his menu at Brats Berlin boasts not only the traditional bratwurst.

They have Polish kielbasa, spicy Cajun, chicken apple, sweet Hawaiian, and veggies of typical dispensaries, but also foreign elements like smoked alligator, elk with cheddar and jalapeño, rattlesnake, and rabbit with jalapeño and onion.

A purchase comes with two optional toppings of sauerkraut, grilled onions, or yellow and red peppers.

The owners came upon the idea for Brats Berlin while on a

trip to Germany.

The truck itself is covered with brightly colored graffiti art to “bring in the Berlin Walltype theme,” Sue said.

Sue is a part owner in a league of food trucks including two other vehicles, Calbi Fusion Tacos, featuring a Korean barbecue spin, and Crepes Bonapart.

All of Sue’s trucks work on a rotational schedule with other food truck owners.

He said the Brats Berlin truck comes about once a month.

The Crepes Bonapart truck in particular has become very popular.

This truck was invited to participate in “The Great Food Truck Race”, a televised competition between food trucks to both reach desired locations and sell their products in hopes of obtaining a $50,000 prize.

Student Development has encouraged food truck visits in order to bring new genres of cuisine to the classic timeless menu offered at Saddleback.

It’s an effort to bring different styles of food to the campus,” said Audra DiPadura, Director of Student Affairs.

Bratwursts on wheels: The Brats Berlin food truck’s eye catching coating was inspired by the colored graffiti of the Berlin Wall.

New fashion statement “imperfection is the new perfection” nicole bullard To those who are tired of trying to find a certain style and trying to look perfect, there’s a new retail store coming to The Shops of Mission Viejo on Friday.

Lamb & Flag, this store is inspired by the name of a venerated English pub, and the atmosphere is like a mansion in disarray. It’s style is imperfect, stating that imperfection is the new perfection.

Its aesthetic tone is based on the timeless rock and roll spirit of “wrecked elegance”.

Lamb & Flag Vice President Gary Winston acknowledges that the brand is made for a certain type of person, someone

who does not like to conform.

“There is a lot of emphasis on individuality amongst this store, for Lamb & Flag’s base concept by “Beautiful Rebellion”, but defined slightly different than most people would understand it.” Winston said.

The store products include but aren’t limited to tees, outer wear, woven shirts, accessories, books, fragrances, and several vintage pieces. Prices range from $22 to $68 for tees and wovens, $58 to $98 for denim, and $58 to $128 for outerwear.

“It’s for the ones that don’t try, they just are. Like a bright light in a dark room, they glow with a quiet confidence,” Winston said. “They’re alive, soulful, humble, imperfect.”

“Without apology, they walk out of step with the world’s parade, always choosing the road less traveled. It’s the musician, the artist, the entrepreneur.”

Lamb & Flag is a brand new retail concept, and is opening not only at The Shops at Mission Viejo on Feb. 3 but also at Los Cerritos Center on Friday, Feb. 10.

“In every way Lamb & Flag is a reflection of the group of individuals brought together to create it- un-like, different, disruptive, real,” said Winston.

“Its the filter we use in designing the product and in curating the brands we carry. It could be a style you haven’t seen, a brand you haven’t discovered, or even a song you haven’t heard.”

Wearing a certain type of clothing style won’t make you feel complete, but believing in yourself and believing what you wear is inspiring your lifestyle can.

“Its the experience, the

Insecurities, inexperience, and a lack of guidance challenge students who wish to pursue writing careers.

Regardless of educational background, many students share the interest of writing fiction or non-fiction.

“I think definitely that my confidence level plays an important role in writing and selling my screenplay. I must be confident,” said Alex Little, 21, acting and film. “I need to be determined and stay positive if I choose to follow my dream.”

Some students don’t know how to get started and to acquire successful habits that will help them achieve their goals.

“My biggest challenge is staying focused and getting in the habit of writing every day,” said Jessa Patience, 19, psychology and English literature. “ I am scared of the publishing process once I finish my book, what if they don’t like it?”

Others fear writer’s block.

“Losing inspiration scares me. To start writing and not being able to continue half way through the book or end it too soon because of that,” said Cody Goodwin, 20, journalism.

“What would happen if I lose the moment and cannot keep writing?”

A former student, creativewriting instructor and author Maralys Wills has published 12 books in different genres, and

has received five movie offers for one of them. Wills majored in psychology, not creative writing or English.

“I’m glad I did because if not I would have had to read a lot of books I don’t like,” Wills said.

“I only read books I like.”

Wills has been writing since the 1960s. She was rejected 139 times before her first article was published. The rejections never suggested when or if she would get published, but it didn’t matter. She knew in her heart she would be published.

“Rejections are not the end of the line,” Wills said. “They are only the beginning.”

Her rejection letters continued even after being published, but she never gave up. In fact, they inspired her to write the award-winner “Damn the Rejections, Full Speed Ahead: The Bumpy Road to Getting Published.”

“You can make it, if you are that determined in your head

that you will. You just need to see yourself doing it that’s how it’ll happen”, Wills tells her students.

She thinks that when someone has a vision of what they want, they will eventually accomplish their goals. She believes this applies to writers, actors, singers, and screenwriters.

Wills believes that regardless of the major, the desire to write is what matters the most. However, she suggests journalism for students who know they love to write. She also advises students to attend writing conferences, take creative-writing courses, expose themselves to any writing experiences, read often, be part of a critique group, and be willing to keep trying until they make it.

Please “dough-nut” eat sugary pastries in place of a more nutritional breakfast NICOLE BULLARD As an American, it is time to decide why doughnuts have been included in the list of respectable breakfast foods and why it continues on.

After all, Americans eat 10 billion doughnuts a year, which is 35 doughnuts per person.

That’s a lot of morning drives to a nearby cafe or doughnut store.

If there’s no concern for our expanding waistlines, why not use the rising gas price excuse?

Besides, there are far more suitable breakfast options than a fried circle of dough and frosting, or a doughy bar full of maple and brown sugar.

A real breakfast is supposed to be full of food that gives you energy, according to Johns Hopkins School of Public Health web page. If someone ate a doughnut everyday before they went to work, all they would have had for breakfast is sugar. It’s time to consider the breakfast essentials, including eggs, fruit, and vegetables. If it sounds like too much, then subtract the vegetables.

And one thing that a breakfast of eggs, fruit and vegetables doesn’t have is a heavy

amount of sugar. If one is willing to cut out doughnuts from their morning schedule, it’s a good idea to whip out a pan and get cooking with new and nutritionally-improved ingredients.

Sometimes the idea of

breakfast seems daunting and a quick and easy doughnut run sounds like a good plan. It’s a great short-term plan, but in the long run, it’s going to come around to haunt you.

Surprisingly, some people

consider doughnuts as snacks.

But a medium-sized doughnut has around 255 calories and that’s a lot for very little nutrition. If a morning snack is all someone on a busy schedule can do, then drop that pastry box

and restock your fridge with small healthy snacks.

Don’t feel obligated to change a whole life’s worth of dieting habits, but make sure there is enough filling yet healthy ingredients in your morning snack to

last until lunch.

Almonds are a great source of protein. One ounce provides 12 percent of a daily intake of protein. They also provide 35 percent of the daily allowance of vitamin E, according to an article in Sturgis Journal.

Having a banana isn’t so bad either, and if it’s not filling enough, a banana and peanut butter sandwich is great morning snack.

For those who still want something sweet but want to cut doughnuts out of the equation, an orange is an adequate substitute, although it can be tart and it would be sweeter to have slices of fruit with honey.

Doughnuts are fattening, and that’s the simple way to put it.

When breakfast turns into an array of sugar rush and fried dough, there needs to be a limit.

Don’t stop eating doughnuts if it sounds impossible, sometimes it’s healthy to splurge a little. But please stop pretending doughnuts are an acceptable breakfast food.

Keeping all of this in mind, don’t forget about those bagels.

After all, they’re just uglier versions of doughnuts. nbullard0@saddleback.edu
