and Grads

I’m so proud of my son Luke. He is a stellar student and a wonderful young man. His academic achievements are astounding. I couldn’t imagine undertaking the rigorous course work he completed in high school. He had a goal set in the 8th grade to study engineering in high school so he could attend a prestigious state university, and he made it happen. Our family will miss him dearly this fall when he leaves for college, but I know his journey through life is going to be amazing.

Happy Father’s Day to my dad and all the dads in our lives, and congrats to all the graduates of the Class of ’24!

Thanks for reading The Local Dish Magazine!

SOUTH COUNTY RESTORATION

If you discover mold on your walls or around your windows, pick up the phone and call South County Restoration in San Clemente. Owner Casey McCants has been flooded with calls due to the record rainfall this season. Homes with older roofs or poorly installed windows may show signs of water intrusion, which worsens as the weather gets hotter.

As a leading water restoration service provider in the area, South County Restoration is your first line of defense. They possess the necessary knowledge and expertise to detect, remediate, and repair water-related issues. Casey, with years of experience, also helps homeowners navigate the complexities of filing insurance claims. Managing the claim process properly is crucial for ensuring adequate coverage. Casey excels at guiding you through the process and securing fair compensation, saying, "You open the claim, we'll do the rest."

While most water mitigation services focus on only one aspect of the process, South County Restoration offers comprehensive solutions. From water mitigation to mold removal, leak

stoppage, re-piping, and drywall repair, they are your one-stop-shop. Casey, being a general contractor and a qualified homeowner advocate, is well-equipped to address insurance claim matters on your behalf. His experience guarantees that you will be fairly compensated. He explains, "It's such a confusing time for homeowners. We're just here to help."

Even if you decide not to file a claim, South County Restoration remains a valuable resource. Their renowned one-day repipe service minimizes disruption and inconvenience to your family. The team arrives promptly at 8:00 a.m. to complete tasks efficiently. Water mitigation typically takes two to three days to allow inner walls to dry before proceeding with abatement and mold removal. Additionally, the team is skilled in removing hazardous materials like asbestos from older buildings.

Following an exceptionally rainy winter, South County Restoration has primarily focused on mold remediation and prevention. Allowing mold to spread can pose significant health risks. Mold spores, when inhaled, can cause

various health problems, particularly for individuals with respiratory issues or weakened immune systems.

Rain isn't the sole cause of mold and water damage. Pinhole leaks, floods, or burst pipes can also lead to these issues in your home. Regardless of the source, South County Restoration is well-prepared to handle water extraction, drying, dehumidification, cleaning, sanitization, and drywall repair services. They employ state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to swiftly remove water and restore your property. With South County Restoration, you're in capable hands.

South County Restoration offers a 24/7 Rapid Response Team with quick arrival times. They are ready to assist you with all your water mitigation needs. Before contacting your insurance company, call Casey at 949-536-8204. To learn more about their services, visit SouthCountyRestoration.com.

WONDERING IF WHAT YOU SEE IS MOLD?

Casey says mold can appear in one of these three ways:

1. DISCOLORATION:

Mold often appears as a discoloration on walls, ceilings, floors, and other surfaces. It can be black, green, gray, brown, white, or any combination of these colors.

2. MUSTY ODOR:

Mold has a distinct, musty smell that is often described as earthy or damp.

3. TEXTURED SPOTS:

Mold can have a fuzzy, slimy, or powdery texture. In warm weather, mold can also cause bubbling on walls if water is trapped inside.

A tradition since 1980, St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church will hold its 44th annual Irvine Greek Fest on June 21, 22, and 23. The festivities will take place at St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church in Irvine. A family-fun event, the Irvine Greek Fest offers something for everyone. Much like a Greek street fair, the festival will offer amazing Greek food and pastries, an "Agora" (marketplace), boutique shops, kids' play zone, live Greek music all weekend and Greek folk dance. Event attendees can also enter an opportunity drawing.

The Irvine Greek Fest will take place from 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday, 12 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, and 12 to 9 p.m. on Sunday. All parking is free at Lake View Senior Center and shuttles transport attendees to the front gate of the festival.

"We're delighted to invite everyone to be "Greek for a day," with all of the food, music, dancing, and family fun our Festival has to offer!" says Father Steven Tsichlis, Senior Pastor of St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church. "Wander the grounds of our campus and savor the wonderful aromas and tastes of Greece while listening to the sounds of the bouzouki! You'll feel like you're in Greece!”

This year's menu of traditional Greek food offers time-tested and perfected favorites including lamb, Greek French fries, Gyros, Pastichio (Greek lasagna), Loukaniko (Greek sausage), Spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese pie), Dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves) and more. Greek beer and wine will be available in the Taverna bar.

All proceeds from the event benefiting St. Paul's ministries and their charitable outreach. Festival admission is $3 per person with children under the age of 10 admitted free. Seniors 65+ are admitted free on Saturday from Noon to 5pm. Veterans, active service military and families, and first responders are always free. This year, all dads and grads are FREE on Sunday, June 23rd! Please visit www.IrvineGreekFest.com for more information.

Saturday, June 8 | 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Good old-fashioned family fun is just around the bend at the San Clemente Car Show on Saturday, June 8th. This year marks the 28th anniversary of this popular downtown event, and the excitement is palpable.

Visitors will be greeted by the nostalgic hum of engines and the vibrant energy of car enthusiasts. Over 250 unique and lovingly-restored show cars will be on display from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m — classics, woodies, muscle cars, hot rods, street rods, surf vans, convertibles, exotics, and even vintage camping trailers — all vying to win best in their class. Non-profit and retail vendor booths will also dot the venue, offering a delightful array of goods and services.

The opening ceremony promises to be a poignant start to the festivities with the US Marines Color Guard and COA singers kicking off the show. As visitors stroll down historic Avenida Del Mar, The Chancers, a popular local band, will provide the perfect musical backdrop. Shops and restaurants along the avenue will be open for business, offering everything from delectable bites to unique finds.

To make the day even more stress-free, guests can leave their parking worries behind and arrive by trolley. The San Clemente Car Show is hosted by the non-profit San Clemente Downtown Business Association, with proceeds supporting local businesses, non-profits, and downtown initiatives.

San Clemente Downtown Business Association deeply appreciates the support of their fantastic community partners — Capistrano Valley Toyota, Tuttle-Click Capistrano Ford, Capistrano VW/Mazda & Nissan of San Juan Capistrano. Contributions make events like this possible.

For more information, visit www.SCCarShow.com. The community looks forward to seeing everyone downtown, San Clemente!
