MAY 2011: MATT VICELJA, Publisher

MAY 2011 • VOL. 5 • ISSUE 5

Mother’s Day has taken on a special meaning this year as my wife and I await the birth of our second child. During the past few months I’ve been caught uttering proud comments like “we’re pregnant.” My wife is quick to point out, however, which of the two of us is actually pregnant. I’m continually amazed at what you moms go through for 10 months (I was also corrected on this point) to bring our bundle of joys into the world. A very happy Mother’s Day to all of you! In the spirit of celebrating the next generation, this month’s cover features the Allen Family Automotive Group. Celebrating 64 years in business, their dedication to their customers and the local community is a commitment the Allen family has honored since they opened their doors in 1947. Learn more about the Allen tradition on page 10.

Stanley Allen

GOING THE EXTRA MILE

FAMILY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP

breaks Dennis Allen guna Niguel la in ground

by Shelley t. hudson

During the month of May, the Allen Family Automotive Group is celebrating its 64th anniversary. When Stanley Allen opened his dealership in Laguna Beach in 1947, he couldn’t have imagined the population explosion the sleepy little beach town and the surrounding areas would experience in the coming decades.

dealership supports, along with many area sports teams. These efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. Allen was recently named Laguna Niguel’s “2010 Outstanding Business of the Year” and adds this honor to many other accolades, including OC Business Journal’s “Family-Owned Business of the Year.”

Stanley Allen spent 25 years in Laguna Beach raising his family in South Orange County and getting to know the people in the community. When his son, Dennis, joined the business and initiated a move to Laguna Niguel, the reaction was mixed. Laguna Niguel was considered a no man’s land in the early ‘70’s, boasting not much beyond orange groves and a freeway exit. Dennis’ vision proved to be a good one, and shortly thereafter, Allen added GMC to its Oldsmobile and Cadillac product lines.

Allen has demonstrated a commitment to its brands as well, selling both Cadillac and GMC for decades. Cadillac, a luxury brand since inception, has developed into a performance name, with its CTS line and the V-Series. Allen has been one of the top Cadillac retailers for many years and has enjoyed success with the popularity of the Escalade and the newer fuelefficient models like the SRX. GMC’s offering of midsize and compact SUVs has also answered a call in the marketplace, being called “standards of industry” for their competitive fuel-efficiency.

This year, Allen Automotive celebrates nearly 40 years in Laguna Niguel and operates with the same principles on which Stanley Allen built his reputation. His grandsons have all taken a turn at the helm; Scott and Mitch ran the dealership for many years before turning over General Manager duties to younger brother Cliff. Nephew Cameron has joined ranks in the Internet Department, leading the fourth generation of Allens into the next decade. Although Cliff Allen is busy with a young family, including sons Mason and Cooper and one-month-old baby Chloe, he can rest easy—professionally, at least! The management team at Allen has hundreds of years of combined experience with the company—many started careers with Dennis Allen in the 1970’s. This level of dedication and loyalty is almost unheard of in the everchanging auto industry. “The backbone of our dealership is community involvement,” says Cliff Allen. He lists Dana Hills High, Mission Viejo High, JSerra, San Clemente High and Vista del Mar Elementary, as just some of the schools the 10 MAY 2011

thelocaldishmagazine.com

The Allen Group expanded its family of brands in 2006 with the addition of Hyundai. Known previously in the market as a budget brand, Hyundai’s growth and improved design in recent years impressed the Allen family. The global development of Hyundai and its emphasis on quality and performance have made it attractive to consumers. When the Hyundai Genesis was named the 2009 North American Car of the Year, auto enthusiasts were intrigued. As awareness and excitement grew among industry insiders, so did the interest of the consumer. Now Allen is the fastest growing Hyundai dealership in the West. The roll-out of the highly anticipated 2011 Sonata has kept the push going. This mid-level sedan is sweeping up awards and winning over drivers at all levels. The motto at Allen Family Automotive is “our family serving your family for over 60 years.” The commitment to the people in their local community backs up this promise. GM has awarded Allen the “Positive Impact Award for Service” for four consecutive years—an accomplishment no other dealer in the Western Region has achieved.

asK tHe doctoR email your questions for next month to:

askThedoc@rossMedical.net Question: What do I do if a bee stings me? —amanda, san clemente ross meDical: Several local insects are often grouped into those insects that cause “bee stings” including wasps, hornets and yellow jackets; however this most correctly refers to the common honey bee. Bees sting when a threat to the bee hive is perceived. Bees which are away from the hive foraging for nectar will sting only if stepped on or handled abruptly. A sting near the hive can attract other bees to sting as well, each delivering a painful dose of bee venom. The bee stinger has barbs which will cause the stinger to attach to the skin so firmly that the stinger is pulled out of the bee after the sting, which results in the almost immediate death of the bee. The stinger should be removed as soon as possible as more venom is injected through the detached stinger for a minute or two. One can use tweezers, forceps or even a credit card in a sweeping or brushing motion. It these are not available, the stinger should be removed as soon as possible with a pinch of the fingers.

The sting results in an immediate sharp pain. The area should be treated with a cold compress or ice pack as soon as possible. Antihistamine medications such as Benadryl, Zyrtec or Claritin can help reduce some of the swelling or subsequent itching. Some persons may have a more severe allergic reaction to some of the protein molecules in the bee’s venom. This could result in a whole body reaction such as swelling at the sting site or in the face and airway. Any sign of shortness of breath should be evaluated in the emergency room as soon as possible and is considered a serious emergency. Even an outbreak of hives can signal a possible on-coming “anaphylactic” reaction which may cause a closing of the airway, a racing heart and a drop in blood pressure causing fainting. Persons with a suspected or confirmed history of a more severe reaction to bee stings should see their doctor for a prescription for an EpiPen. The EpiPen can deliver a potential life-saving dose of epinephrine to prevent serious symptoms until the patient can see a physician. —andrew Klein, mD

A touching and hilarious ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ look at the lives of a group of female friends, GIRLS NIGHT: THE MUSICAL promises to have audiences around the country laughing, crying and dancing in the aisles! Follow five friends as they re-live their past, celebrate their present and look to the future on a wild and hilarious karaoke night out...and you’ll recognize every one of them! Carol who was born to party, blunt Anita who says it like it is, Liza and her ‘issues’, boring Kate the great designated driver and Sharon, the not-so-angelic angel who just couldn’t resist tagging along! GIRLS NIGHT is bursting with energy and is packed with hits “Lady Marmalade,” “It’s Raining Men,” “Man, I Feel Like a Woman,” “I Will Survive,” “We Are Family” and many more! So grab the girls and get ready to party!

Step into The Vintage Steakhouse and you’ll be transported to another era. This romantic and charming restaurant, located in downtown San Juan at the 1894 Capistrano Depot, has ambiance and history built-in. Want to dine in a 1927 fully-restored Pullman Car or have a cocktail in an 1887 Freight House Bar? No problem; just climb aboard. At The Vintage Steakhouse, they do things a little differently, which is why you might have a more enjoyable experience there than at a conventional steakhouse. First, they prepare all of their meats and seafood over an open-fire, mesquite char-broiler, so every dish has a distinct and flavorful taste. Their entrées also come with vegetable and potato sides at no additional charge, so you won’t have to order a bunch of extras just to feel like you’ve had a complete meal. Best of all – besides the quaint setting in which you’ll experience your food – are the prices, which somehow remain low despite the impeccable quality of the food and service. We sampled so many delicious items at The Vintage Steakhouse that it’s hard to highlight just a few. The featured mushroom appetizer, Abalone mushrooms in wine sauce, was mouth-wateringly good, as were the mesquite goat cheese-stuffed tomatoes. The bone-in smoked pork chop with a red currant demi-glace was also memorable, as were the sweet potato fries and perfectly cooked veggies that accompanied it. For the true meat-lover, the Tomahawk rib eye steak is a must-order if it’s available, as the presentation alone was quite a treat. Do hold back enough to save room for dessert, since Vintage’s sweet offerings should not be missed. Though we intended to merely taste the warm chocolate cupcake, it’s extraordinarily creamy mint whipped cream and refreshing peppermint ice cream caused us to devour the entire dessert in a matter of moments. Whether you go for a cocktail, dinner, or decide to host your next event at The Vintage Steakhouse, you’ll be on the right track.

The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. —Thomas Edison WHY drink kangen Water®? Drinking filtered, pure, restructured ionized water made fresh from your own faucet offers a simple way to shift the body’s acid-alkaline balance. The smaller hexagonal shape and molecular cluster size of the water also hydrates your body up to three times more effectively than regular water containing larger clusters. Restructured ionized water releases stable oxygen plus negative electrons that are nature’s original antioxidants. HoW is tHe Water made? The water is made through electrolysis which is the process where electricity is passed through electrodes composed of precious metals with the ability to attract ions that conduct electricity. The ions that are naturally preset in the water are then concentrated into clusters of positively and negatively charged ions and separated by a membrane. This process restructures the original water clusters into smaller hexagonal clusters that are either positively or negatively charged. This results in the water being separated into two types: alkaline (oxygen-rich) for drinking, and acidic (hydrogen-rich) for topical use.

"After having a very poor cleaning experience with my rugs at a local rug dealer I wanted to make sure that this time my antique rugs got the care they deserved. Through a referral I learned of Haines & Cross in Laguna Niguel. I went by their shop prior to having my rugs picked-up so that I could witness the cleaning process in person. It was very thorough and amazing how much soil came out, even after a previous so called professional rug washing. I was very impressed with the knowledge and caring attitude of Eric and his staff. I recommend anyone who has rugs to be cleaned to give Eric from Haines & Cross a call." Sincerely, Linda Hartanov
