Orange County detached sales prices were up 2.5% in 2014. Low interest rates are creating demand, and listings were down 13% in December over 2013. If you are thinking about selling your home, give me a call for a complimentary market analysis. If you are thinking about buying, now is a great time - interest rates are still low. It's a great time to lock in rates that we might not see again for a long time. If you would like more detailed information, please give me a call. I can share data for specific cities or areas. Thanks for letting me serve you.

FEBRUARY 2015 • VOL. 9 • ISSUE 2 It’s Super Bowl time, once again, and the 2015 festivities are expected to draw record viewers, especially with the “deFlatriots” controversy circling the New England Patriots. Even if you have virtually no knowledge of the game and you’re only planning to watch Super Bowl XLIX for the commercials, there’s still plenty a disinterested football viewer can do to get in on the action. To add a bit of flavor to the festivities, check out some of this year’s proposition bets — which have absolutely nothing to do with the game or sport itself. Will Idina Menzel finish the National Anthem over or under 2 minutes and 5 seconds? Will Katy Perry be wearing a skirt, pants or shorts when she begins the halftime show? Will quarterback Tom Brady’s wife, Giselle Bundchen, be shown 2 or more times on TV? How many times will the phrase “deflated balls” be mentioned during the broadcast? Whether the Seahawks repeat or the Patriots rise to another Super Bowl victory, we can only hope for some entertaining 30-second spots and a dash of halftime mischief to spice up the Sunday. This month’s cover features Mathnasium Learning Centers of Orange County. If your child has a problem with math, their instructors will help you solve it. With convenient locations throughout San Clemente, Dana Point, Laguna Niguel and Ladera Ranch, Mathnasium is helping students make sense of math. Whether your child is lagging behind, is excited to reach the next level of learning, or needs assistance preparing for the SAT, the Mathnasium Method™ has a proven track record to meet a student’s goals. Learn more about how Mathnasium will customize a detailed plan to advance your child’s math skills on page 10. Thanks for reading The Local DISH Magazine! Matt Vicelja

COVER STORY For students who already excel in math, the sky’s the limit. They will expand their math skills and, with math learning made exciting, students will discover what doors excelling at math can open. Students engage one-to-one with Mathnasium-certified instructors in a unique combination of mental, verbal, visual, tactile, and written exercises. This instruction does more than just meet state math standards; it surpasses the recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Common Core State Standards. Basic math concepts and skills are blended with a program specifically designed to help students build number sense. This special program shows them how and why the useful number rules they’re learning work so they are able to understand how they can be applied to interesting areas such as computer science, biology, and psychology. Students are evaluated with a written and verbal assessment unique to Mathnasium. Based on the results, Mathnasium develops a custom-tailored program designed to close any educational gaps they may have so they can jump ahead when they’re ready for advanced math challenges.
The goal at Mathnasium is to help math make sense! Whether your child is far behind or is already succeeding in math, Mathnasium offers the tools that enable a student to leap ahead. Mathnasium knows that every child can be successful in math; it’s a matter of teaching it in a way that makes sense to them.
MATHNASIUM.COM
The first Mathnasium Learning Center opened in 2002, more than 40 years after math educator Larry Martinek was inspired to find a better way to teach children math. Larry developed the Mathnasium Method™ and a new business was born. Martinek’s desire was to provide children all over the world with increased confidence, critical thinking skills, and the mathematical ability to last a lifetime. Students of all ages found the curriculum to be incredibly powerful and engaging. As evidence of how effective it is, Mathnasium centers have sprung up across

North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Mathnasium’s experienced math tutors utilize their proprietary teaching materials and techniques, The Mathnasium Method™, to deliver a customized learning plan designed to address each student’s needs. The instructional approach goes beyond traditional math tutoring to develop understanding and to build a love for math. If math is a problem, Mathnasium can solve it. Students will grow more excited and confident about math—and their grades will reflect that. Mathnasium owner, Kapil Mathur, oversees four centers in San Clemente, Dana Point, Laguna Niguel and Ladera Ranch. He and his team have been serving elementary, middle and high school students in South Orange County since 2006.

Mathnasium builds upon your child’s existing foundation and explains why mathematical rules work so that children learn and understand them. Mathnasium’s philosophy is that math shouldn’t simply be an exercise in memorization. Mathnasium also helps students understand their homework as part of each session and prepares them for school tests, as well as standardized tests such as the California High School Exit Exam, SAT, ACT and ISEE. By giving students a firm foundation—and confidence—in math, Mathnasium can prevent them from falling behind in the future and can help them avoid the problems and frustrations that struggling in math often creates. Contact your local center today to schedule a free trial session where you and your child can experience all that Mathnasium has to offer.

Las Golondrinas
Today!
Authentic Italian Cuisine | Extensive Wine List | Full Bar | Dessert Tray
Grand Opening in Talega Village Center
A Great Valentine’s Destination! BY BETH FHANER
Las Golondrinas has long been known as the place to indulge in mouthwatering Mexican food in South Orange County. The family-owned and operated establishment has proudly been serving-up fresh, savory Mexican fare for over 30 years. With locations in San Juan Capistrano, Capistrano Beach, Laguna Niguel, and Mission Viejo, it has recently added a convenient, new location for its customers down south at the Talega Village Center in San Clemente. Established in 1984 by Arturo and Maria Galindo, the business has grown to include six locations with dine-in, take-out, and catering services. Whether you’re dropping in to pick up a to-go order for your family or a large party, or are in need of a buffet-style catering service for your next special occasion, Las Golondrinas has you covered. With its casual ambience, the Mexican eatery features an extensive menu of authentic dishes made fresh daily, including such customer favorites as the chicken enchiladas served with rice and beans, chili relleno, and a variety of tacos and tamales—all made in the traditional way with vegetarian options. For dessert, diners can get a sweet fix with pineapple coconut and cinnamon raisin tamales. Starting at 7 a.m. and served all day long, breakfast burritos and tacos are available for those with a hankering for morning fare. Of course, regular customers can’t get enough of Las Golondrinas’ famous and extremely addictive tortilla chips, which are made fresh daily and can be enjoyed with delicious guacamole and salsa fresca. Be sure not to miss Taco Tuesdays, when all tacos on the menu are offered at 1/2 off the regular price. As for Los Golondrinas’ long-running popularity, General Manager Liz Galindo-Priest says, “We’ve been in the community for over 30 years and people know us and the quality of our food. We’re thankful to be able to open new locations and look forward to serving our customers at the Talega location.”
