WESLACO � Nancy Cantu�s days are filled with art and food. She does what many would consider a dream job � baking, decorating and selling cakes and pastries. Her frost-filled world revolves around Honey�s Cakes and Pastries, her newly opened bakery in Weslaco. �I�ve been doing cakes at home and I thought it was time to open up something a little different,� the 24-year-old entrepreneur said. Just one glance at the cakes in the bakery makes �a little different� crystal clear. The lopsided, towering, colorful and abstract creations seem to have jumped right out of the pages of a Dr. Seuss book and onto her cake racks. �I do a lot of cook book stuff, I start from scratch, but I�ll change it and kind of make it mine,� Cantu said. �I guess I�m willing to do everything a little different.

On Angels Peak, camp offers a chance at redemption
One by one, the 40 or so juvenile offenders stepped forward as their names were announced to hearty applause. From the voltage of their bright smiles, it appeared that receiving public praise was a new experience for many. They were graduating from the forestry program at the Spring Mountain Youth Camp, on Angels Peak near Mount Charleston. The camp is populated by delinquent boys ages 12 to 18, including armed robbers, drug dealers, gang members and sex offenders. They are sentenced by Clark County Family Court judges and hearing masters to the camp as a first step in their probation sentence, before being released back to their home environment. For six - month stays, the camp becomes their home. Administrators say the goal is to provide a place where these offenders - selected because they are seen as not-yet-hardened and still socially redeemable - can go to receive schooling, therapy and rigid structure.
