JANUARY 2017 • VOL. 11 • ISSUE 1
Armed with sunscreen in one hand and my laptop in the other, I find a poolside chaise, nestled under a cozy umbrella that screams my name. As I peek out over the top of my computer screen, I have an incredible view of St. John’s sparkling blue waters and the perfect spot from which to write this month’s note. Not a bad day at the office, right? It’s still incredible to me that I can work from more than 3,000 miles away, on a tiny Caribbean island, without a hiccup. With a reliable Wi-Fi connection, it’s amazing how small the world becomes and how a virtual office can function seamlessly from just about anywhere. As we enter a new year, I’ve committed to working smarter, to becoming more present, and to fully enjoy the fleeting moments that pass us all by so quickly. One local business that’s utilizing a smarter and more effective method for selling area homes is OC Real Estate 411. Through their Design to Sell approach, distinguished Broker Robyn Webb and her team have generated record sales prices for home sellers, and often in less time. Not your typical de-cluttering or staging strategy, this proven concept is a value-added service that’s changing the way real estate is being marketed and sold. Learn more about Webb and the Design to Sell concept on page 8. Happy New Year from all of us at The Local DISH Magazine!

FEATURE sold their homes in 30 days or less, and for prices that well exceeded expectations. “Most of our clients get at least 3 times their return on investment,” Webb states. “We don’t take lightly that we are asking homeowners to make a big investment and permanently change their home — they need to be serious about selling and they need to trust the process.”

It’s a brave new world of real estate. While staging a home for sale has become increasingly common, OC Real Estate 411 has taken it to the next level. Their Design to Sell model is giving home sellers astounding returns, setting home sale price records and making traditional real estate marketing an antiquated concept. “Everyone needs Design to Sell,” states Robyn Webb, Owner and Broker of OC Real Estate 411. “The way we design our home to live is far different than how a home should be designed to sell.” Webb has an MBA from USC and is also a certified interior designer. “In traditional real estate, the agent encourages the homeowner to de-clutter and move some items into the garage. Then, the agent brings in a photographer and puts the photos on the Internet. In order to grab a buyer’s attention, the photos have to be stunning, and that must start with the design of the house itself.”

week! We now know that what Robyn is doing with Design to Sell is truly a game changer and the only way a home should be sold.” The Design to Sell concept is a value-added service that works for a wide range of homeowners, with varying goals, that may have a budget as low as $500 or as high as $50,000. This mini-makeover starts with an unbiased, third-party valuation of the home’s market value. The OC Real Estate 411 team then assesses the home and recommends changes that will have the greatest buyer emotional impact on the home’s sale value. From there, Robyn and her team execute the new design. The results are impressive. The majority of homeowners have
HGTV shows like Fixer Upper and Property Brothers have changed homebuyers’ expectations. For those buyers that don’t have the time or funds to take on these transformations, Design to Sell meets an unmet need, and makes the property stand out against the competition. For those that do want to try a fixer upper, OC Real Estate 411 does the reverse business model as well. Referred to as “Orange County’s Joanna Gaines” by her clients, Webb enjoys helping homebuyers purchase a fixer upper and transform it afterward into their dream home. “Our home appraised for $265,000 more than the purchase price after we invested a fraction of that with Robyn’s fixer upper program. We now have our dream home and are sitting on a pile of equity,” states Darlene Jones of Laguna Niguel. Webb’s business is rooted in ethics and integrity, as evidenced by her Champion of Home Award, presented by the California Association of Realtors. Of approximately 500,000 real estate agents in California, only 1-3 are designated with this prestigious award each year, which recognizes ethics, professionalism and overall exemplary conduct of a Realtor®. With over $200 million sold, Webb strives for every client experience to become a client for life. “This isn’t a job for me”, she says, “It’s a labor of true love.”
Steve and Carolyn Fowle, of San Juan Capistrano, were blown away by the results. “After listing our home for 5 months with another broker, we decided to take the Design to Sell plunge and we called OC Real Estate 411. After a $31,000 investment, we sold our home for $400,000 higher than the best offer we received with the previous agent. What’s more incredible, Robyn sold our home in less than a

SADDLEBACK VALLEY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FIND YOUR PURPOSE “Unlike his roommates, the young man didn’t go to college to ‘find’ himself. He was never lost. In fact, he wanted to build a company. He studied Finance and International Law. He interned at a start-up near his university to become more expert in Technology. He launched his company after graduating. It monitored water supply networks in developing countries to minimize pollutants. It thrived. It also improved the lives of millions of people. On long flights overseas, the man thinks back to his high school... to 'The Tree,' Friday night football, and inspiring teachers. He knows he found confidence there. He knows he found character. But more than anything, he knows he has found his purpose.”

ST. MARY'S SCHOOL AN IB WORLD SCHOOL FOR INTEGRATED, LASTING LEARNING The world is dynamically connected today in ways that did not exist even ten years ago. With the advent of the Internet and technological advances, the pace of change is exponential. The challenge for our education system is to provide curriculum that keeps up with this pace of change. We believe that the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program is poised to meet this challenge. St. Mary’s is the only primary and middle school in Orange County to offer the International Baccalaureate Program. St. Mary’s delivers exceptional academics with a world-view to students from early preschool through eighth grade. The IB Program was founded in Switzerland in 1968 to prepare internationally mobile students for university. Today, it offers educational programs for students worldwide ranging in age from three to 19 by a community of educators motivated to create a better world through education. This kind of aspirational goal

requires faculty excellence – over 70% of St. Mary’s teachers hold advanced degrees – and demands stimulating, individualized interaction. Teacher to student ratios at St. Mary’s range from 1:6 in Early Preschool, to 1:11 in Lower School, to 1:18 by the Middle School years. “This student centered, inquiry based approach motivates students to engage in the curriculum and allows them to see how academic material applies in the outside world,” says Sharon Taylor, Head of School. Academic programs are designed so that each subject translates to another, enabling students to connect ideas and concepts in different fields. Taylor adds, “Our faith-based, extracurricularrich, IB-inspired education delivers graduates who consistently show levels of communication, thinking skills and all-around knowledge that guarantees academic perseverance and flexibility, equipping them for success in high school, higher education, and life beyond.”

THE PARISH SCHOOL
ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR CHURCH AN EVOLVING SCHOOLWIDE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT Always learning, The Parish School graduates are confident and compassionate young men and women who will make a difference. Faithful to Catholic values, The Parish School at St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church sustains an evolving schoolwide learning environment that inspires each learner to achieve his or her God-given potential inside and outside the classroom. BENEFIT: SHE IS ALWAYS LEARNING. She digs out a rock during her class’s nature walk, her dirtied fingers deciphering textures to determine its geological origins. She collaborates with a classmate to code a game in Scratch, their story coming to life in scripts and pixels. She raises her hand as the priest asks about the Gospel reading. Her heart beats faster – she knows the answer. No matter where or what or when, she is always learning at The Parish School. BENEFIT: HE DISCOVERS HIS FAITH. Though his shoes don’t quite touch the floor when he sits in the pew, he thinks deeply about God. Does God know his name? Is God watch-
ing him at this very moment? He finds himself doing things and not doing things because of God. More and more, something or Someone seems to be guiding his decisions. It is transformative. He is discovering his faith. BENEFIT: SHE SPEAKS HER MIND. At first she is scared to talk in class. But her teacher gently coaxes her. By lower school, her voice doesn’t tremble anymore. Her upper school teachers encourage her to ask big questions. Classmates sometimes challenge her ideas, and she defends them. She listens to other learners too, adopting bits of their new thinking even as she adapts her own. Confident yet open-minded, candid yet thoughtful, she is speaking her mind. BENEFIT: HE IS RESILIENT. His engineering experiment doesn’t work. For a moment, he is embarrassed. His fists clench, but he catches himself. He sits and thinks. He soon gets back to work, disassembling and reassembling pieces of his machine. When he’s ready again, he releases the ball bearing. Eureka! He is so giddy he could dance. Led by expert edu-
cators who embrace classroom mistakes as real learning, he is becoming a resilient young man. BENEFIT: SHE GETS INVOLVED. She has the worst balance on the Surf Team but is first to the beach for practice. She struggles with the F chord but plays her dad’s old Fender until her strumming hand aches. She runs for Student Government. She wins. While she is not the tallest or the most talented or that learner who others naturally follow, she refuses to be a bystander in school or life. She is going to be involved. THE PARISH SCHOOL ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR CATHOLIC CHURCH 33866 Calle La Primavera Dana Point, CA 92629 949.496.1241 www.StEdSchool.org

ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA PARISH SCHOOL DISCOVERYOURSELF Some describe it as a hidden jewel by the sea. Perched hillside along Coast Highway, Saint Catherine of Siena Parish School overlooks a panorama of the Pacific Ocean, from Montage Laguna Beach to Catalina Island. This backdrop sets the scene for the unique educational experience St. Catherine of Siena provides, blending academic excellence, spiritual development and a focus on the arts. Serving students from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade, this tightly knit academic community offers a well-rounded curriculum designed to educate the whole child — mind, body and spirit. This is achieved through a rigorous academic program with an emphasis on cross-curricular, active learning that incorporates proven educational strategies and state-of-the-art technologies. Originally opened in 1957, the school was completely reconstructed beginning in 2008. The facility offers larger classrooms, separate elementary and middle school buildings, a science lab, cutting-edge computer facilities, art lab, library, music room and gymnasium.
use017 o n H 2, 2 Opeuary r Feb
Although St. Catherine comprises only about 200 students, Principal Mike Letourneau notes that alumni are represented at top universities throughout the nation. Laguna Beach has long been known for its flourishing artistic environment, a heritage St. Catherine of Siena eagerly embraces. The school employs experts in visual arts, music and theater, and holds its own annual Pageant of the Masters, where students bring to life such paintings as “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci and “American Gothic” by Grant Wood. St. Catherine of Siena is served by the Pacific Symphony’s Class Act program, introducing students to symphony musicians who lead classroom lessons, ensemble performances, assemblies and concert performances. The arts are also incorporated into St. Catherine’s cross-curricular learning platform. For example, students studying California history demonstrate what they have learned through art projects, student-produced theatrical productions and more.
As a Catholic academic institution, St. Catherine of Siena nourishes each student’s faith journey while embracing a diversity of creeds. The inclusive community makes catechesis and faith formation part of daily learning, developing students into responsible citizens ready to serve the global community. Saint Catherine of Siena is hosting an Open House on February 2, 2017 at 5:30 p.m., the same evening as its community-wide Pasta Dinner hosted by the 6th grade class. Bring your child to look at the school, meet the teachers and sit down with the families. There isn’t a better time for prospective families to “Come and See” Saint Catherine of Siena Parish School.

STRATFORD SCHOOL — CARDEN ACADEMY CONNECTING STUDENTS TO THEIR UNIQUE FUTURES Carden Academy of Mission Viejo is joining the Stratford School family. Founded in 1999, Stratford School is a leading independent, coeducational private school located in Northern California and the Los Angeles Area. Together, they're creating an outstanding educational experience for the community’s preschool through 8th grade students. Both Stratford and Carden provide a balanced approach to learning and character development in a unique and safe environment where children are seen and heard. The schools believe in inspiring children to become the next generation of creative problem-solvers, innovators, and leaders. These 21st century qualities provide children with the knowledge, confidence, and ingenuity to help them excel in future careers. Stratford will be adding a preschool to provide a comprehensive program from preschool
through eighth grade beginning with the 2017/18 school year. The preschool curriculum is designed to develop the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical building blocks to last a lifetime. Hands-on, multi-sensory activities, including Imaginative STEAM Play, encourage preschoolers to play and share with others, while developing their self-confidence. The teachers enrich the academic lessons with the “fun factor,” so each child discovers the joy and excitement of learning.
In Middle School, the students are prepped and mentored for admission to top private high schools, or advanced placement in public high schools. Our curriculum delivers a broad base of knowledge that’s rich in vocabulary and critical thinking taught in a collaborative environment.
In Elementary School, the accelerated core curriculum motivates students to become critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and proficient writers. It provides a rich balance of art, music, history, science, physical education, and foreign language programs — all of which provide students with a well-rounded education that is further enhanced by the teachers’ creative and individualized approach to learning.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO PRESCHOOL While new to the San Juan Capistrano area, Heights Christian Schools are not new to Christian education. HCS has been serving 2,000 students, preschool through 8th grade, in the Brea, Chino Hills, La Habra and La Mirada communities for more than 35 years. And now, HCS is excited to announce the HCS– San Juan Capistrano Preschool. A Grand Opening event is scheduled for Saturday, January 21 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. HCS believes a comprehensive preschool education should be age-appropriate and based on solid principles of child development. Each child develops at his/her own pace, so it is important that each student is treated as an individual. Each child is encouraged to progress at his/her own rate toward enriched experiences, self-discipline, and the ability to make wise choices.
22 JANUARY 2017
THELOCALDISHMAGAZINE.COM
The HCS program promotes the child’s social, emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual development. It is the aim of HCS to assist in developing the total personality of each child by providing an educational experience of lasting value. HCS preschools provide a group setting in which each child can feel secure, learn to separate easily from parents, and interact with other children of the same age in group settings. Throughout each day and every activity, an emphasis is placed on biblical integration of Christian values, and helping students to develop an understanding of God and His love for them. The teacher/student ratio is intentionally low, providing teachers with the opportunity to observe play and creative expression, while providing a balance between child-selection and teacher-guided activities. Additionally, the HCS program prepares students academically for the next level with
instruction in language and literacy, math and science concepts, creative expression, self and community awareness, and large and small motor development. At HCS, learning is fun, and God is number one! Plan to call, click or visit!

FAMILY FOCUS
Revolutionizing School: One student and one teacher per classroom. Always.
Our teaching approach is one-to-one. One student, one teacher for the whole period in a single classroom. Why one-to-one? It lets us meet each student where they are and create a real emotional connection. When a student feels understood and supported, we find that they are better able to learn. And a one-to-one classroom allows us to present course materials in a focused environment - at a pace and in a style that suits each student’s individual interests, strengths, and challenges. Because we know that every student learns differently.

Sonny's PIZZA & PASTA
BY DINA SCAGLIONE
At a time when restaurants seemingly pop up one day and shut down the next, Sonny’s Pizza and Pasta, or more affectionately known as simply Sonny’s, has been serving up thin-crust pizzas and flavorful pasta dishes to devoted locals and curious tourists for more than 36 years. You can hardly mention the restaurant’s name without heads nodding in approval.

Since 1980, owner Sonny Genovese has prepared his family’s recipes from scratch each day, perfectly balanced with aromatic seasonings and flavorful spices. The restaurant's unpretentious vibe and relaxed atmosphere welcomes families, friends and couples alike. Just bring a hearty appetite and let them handle the rest. Though San Clemente is largely known for its cool, coastal climate, Spanish feel and chill vibe, the city and its surrounding areas have no shortage of Italian food aficionados who’ve made Sonny’s their go-to spot for a delicious bowl of savory Baked Rigatoni or the new Badda Bing pizza with spicy Calabrese salami, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil. Another favorite is the Rigatoni Pomodoro with ricotta cheese and spinach. Steeped in a classic pink sauce – a combination of Sonny’s signature red and Alfredo sauces, and topped with sliced sausage, this blissful marriage of melt-in-your mouth flavors and textures is a testament to the restaurant’s mass appeal. With a dizzying array of generously portioned entrées, from fresh seafood to meatless dishes, Sonny’s offers something to suit every palette. As far as appetizers go, nothing beats the Spicy Calamari. Unlike most other renditions, Sonny’s tender calamari steak (not the typical chewy, rubber band-like rings) is cut into strips and sautéed in a spicy, garlic tomato sauce. Magnifico! The Tomato Basil Bruschetta also tops the list, served with crunchy garlic toast and sweet tomatoes, seasoned with basil, capers and chunks of Pecorino Romano. With gondola muralled walls and the scent of roasted garlic hanging in the air, Sonny’s inviting atmosphere draws you inside and keeps you coming back for more. The spacious outside patio adorned with red and white-checkered tablecloths accommodates those who prefer to dine al fresco. Although Sonny’s can be quite popular on weekends, don’t let the appendage of outside gatherers dissuade you. Sonny’s is one of those can’tmiss local gems, and like so many good things in life, is well worth the wait! SONNY’S PIZZA & PASTA 429 N.

• Did your carpet seem to get dirty soon after the cleaning? • Did the same spots come back within a couple of days?
• Did it seem to take forever for your carpet to dry? • Did you end up paying more then you were led to believe? If you answered yes to any of these questions you probably were disappointed with your last carpet cleaning. Well I’m glad to tell you “not all carpet cleaners are created equal”.
5 Reasons You Should Call ZEROREZ® to Clean Your Carpet - And No One Else!
1) Your Gotta Love-It™ Guarantee. If you are not totally delighted with the results of our cleaning, we will not accept your payment. Furthermore, if for any reason you are later dissatisfied, we'll return to your home for a FREE re-service. You Gotta Love-It or you don’t pay. 2) Many Satisfied Clients. Since 2003 we’ve built our reputation, one delighted client at a time. Check us out on Yelp, Google and Angie’s List to verify for yourself that we live up to our bold claims. 3) Most Thorough Cleaning. Our patented, green-cleaning system will flush-out old, soil-attracting, residue. We’ll pre-spot, agitate, clean, rinse and finish groom your carpet. If you feel our carpet cleaning wasn’t the best, most thorough and effective cleaning you’ve ever had, you don’t pay. No hidden or small print, just a solid,
honest guarantee that assures your complete, 100% satisfaction with our service. 4)4)Non-Toxic, Soap-Free, Eric Bollmann, Co-Owner Green Process. Zerorez stands apart from all other carpet cleaning companies with its patented process that turns ordinary tap water into a powerful cleaning powerhouse. Called Empowered™ Water it eliminates the need for soap and other toxic chemicals to get your carpet clean, healthy and residue-free. 5) 5)You’ll Get Trained, Skilled Technicians - not kids, not daylaborers, not unskilled spare-timers. Who would you rather have inside your home? My technicians are neat and professionally attired, polite and courteous, especially careful of your furniture and belongings. We come equipped with precision equipment, we are fast and efficient but also painstakingly thorough. ONE MORE REASON - FREE spot cleaner for life. At the end of your job we’ll give you a bottle of spot cleaner that entitles you to unlimited refills for life.
