MATT VICELJA, Publisher OCTOBER 2010 As I mulled over topics for this month’s publisher’s note, I kept coming back to the title of our October cover story; “Desire to Inspire.“ Throughout my life, I’m constantly drawing inspiration from those I encounter daily as well as those I admire from afar.

Interaction with entrepreneurs encompasses a large part of my business. Their hopes, passions and positive attitudes give me the inspiration to be my best, especially on days when I feel like I’m climbing up San Onofre’s Trail 4 with a board under each arm. Witnessing the determination and hard work of a new restaurant owner in Talega or the excitement of a brother and sister team launching their first business in downtown San Clemente is certainly inspirational.

Desire to Inspire... within your family, with colleagues at work, or in your local community. Check out our calendar for opportunities to take part in inspirational events this month. On October 8th, the Songs, Smiles ‘N Soul 3 benefit concert will raise money for children in need of dental care. On 10/10/10, join in the Hope 4 Hanna relay and walk to fight against Autism. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there are plenty of ways to get involved in the effort to find a cure. Try your best to take part!

Our cover features a mere taste of the inspiration you’ll find at Renaissance Home Furnishings in San Juan Capistrano. Let Dennis Penman and his talented team of designers transform your home for the holidays and every day from their 11,000 square foot showroom that’s certain to spark your desire.

Thanks for your continued support of The Local DISH Magazine!

What is your Eating Style?

I tend to overeat certain types of food.

Once I have a bite of certain foods, my eating may go out of control.

I sometimes worry that I won’t get enough to eat or I’ll never stop eating.

Sometimes the only way to make cravings go away is to eat whatever I am thinking about.

I have gone to unusual lengths to get the food I’m craving.

I overeat when I’m feeling anger, depression, fatigue or looking for comfort or reward.

Many days, I head straight for the refrigerator when I get home from my day’s activities.

I’ve noticed I eat when I’m bored.

For no reason, I will sometimes find that I am extremely hungry.

I am uncomfortable expressing or sharing my feelings.

I would like to be a more confident person.

After I lose weight and receive positive attention, I will start regaining the weight.

I want to lose weight to please people who are important in my life.

I’m reaching the point where I’m afraid that I will never lose my excess weight.

I feel bad about my weight which makes me feel like a failure.

LOCAL COVER STORY

Renaissance Home Furnishings

by Shelley T. Hudson

Equal parts family business, warehouse showroom and design boutique, Renaissance Home Furnishings in historic San Juan Capistrano’s Home Center earns its reputation as South OC’s go-to home decorating resource. That reputation hasn’t come easily—owner Dennis Penman and his staff of designers have been known to help their crew offload containers at all hours of the day and night to keep a delivery deadline.

Penman and company’s dogged pursuit of customer satisfaction has won over a loyal following of discerning customers. Although he jokes that Renaissance is “the best kept secret in San Juan,” because of its tucked-away location, Penman knows that his 14 years in the home furnishings business have landed his store on the short list of both design professionals and savvy homeowners alike.

It helps that Renaissance provides 11,000 square feet of pure inspiration. Customers can stroll through the showroom and plop down on a squishy sofa while they flip through fabric samples or decide on the perfect lamp or artwork. From Old World European to contemporary to beach cottage-chic, the design staff works with each customer to determine his or her own version of “affordable luxury.” Since repeat customers (and their referred friends and neighbors) make up the bulk of the business, the staff and crew at Renaissance develop a familial relationship with them. In

fact, it’s not unusual for a customer to stop by with homemade cookies as a thank you.

Now for the best part: because of the high volume of business Renaissance provides its manufacturers, the overhead and margins are kept low. Customers reap the benefits of the “40% off every day” philosophy and keep coming back. The instant gratification of purchasing items right from the selling floor combined with quick turn around times—even for custom pieces—solidifies the relationship.

In addition to offering beautiful home furnishings at reasonable prices at a quicker-than-average lead time, Renaissance Home Furnishings provides complimentary design services at every level. Louise Vincent and Robin Earp lead the design team, and they provide both in-store and in-home consultations. So whether you just need help choosing a rug or your house is an empty shell needing warmth and comfort (and paint, and flooring, and window treatments…), Louise and Robin are waiting to scramble. This hard-working staff has been known to furnish an entire home from ceiling to floor in two weeks! Louise describes this unusual service as “completion oriented.” With 27 years in the design business, she knows a thing or two about getting things done.

ent can select any or all of the design. It’s truly a stress-free, no obligation shopping experience for the customer.

These in-house services are more than a convenience; the one-stop shopping is a time saver and a budget saver. The one-to four-week turnaround on custom furnishings makes it easy to change your look seasonally. If it’s your turn to host the holidays this year and your home could use a little style boost, stop by the store or have a designer meet with you at home to put some ideas together. It’s easy and it’s free!

Loyal Renaissance customers, Kelly and Rob Hammons, describe their experience as “highly recommended and so easy.” The Hammons are transplants from the furniture capitol of the country— North Carolina. Kelly was most impressed with the follow-through of the design staff. She said she was kept informed of her custom order status and was surprised that the delivery estimates were right on. Her husband Rob echoed her sentiments.

“The prices are highly competitive and the customer service is first-rate. I can’t say enough about the staff. They truly go the extra mile.”

Another design service option offered at Renaissance is their “shop at home” program. This commitment-free home visit allows customers the opportunity to see and feel the furniture in their homes before they purchase. The designers arrive with everything—furniture, rugs, lighting, accessories. Once set up is completed, the cli-

the flu as well. Don’t take the chance, get yourself and your children the vaccine for influenza.

ross meDical: The 2010 flu vaccine includes the 2009 H1N1 strain plus two seasonal flu strains. Here are FIve good reasons you should get this flu shot this year.

3. money: Getting a flu shot is a lot less expensive than doctors visits and the medication to make you feel better if you do get sick. It pays to get the vaccine for Influenza because you save money in the long run.

You won’t necessarily get the flu if you don’t get the shot, but it does help lower your risk.

1. Work: Getting the flu will mean that you miss work for several days. This is one of the main reasons that employers push for their employees to get the flu vaccine. It is also one of the reasons that you should consider getting it. Most people can’t afford to miss that much time and it is also a waste of sick leave that could be better used for something that can’t be easily prevented.

2. children: Children are at high risk if they get Influenza.

They don’t have the same ability to fight off such illnesses and therefore may end up becoming more sick than others because of the immaturity of their body. If you get the flu and you have children in the house, you run the risk of getting your kids ill with

4. contagious: Influenza is very contagious. It is an airborne disease that is easily spread . If you get the flu, you will likely pass it on to many other people and the chain will continue for a while. You aren’t just risking your own health when you don’t get the flu shot, you are risking the health of a lot of other people.

5. Pain: Influenza is painful... much more painful than any shot you will ever get. It causes headaches, body aches, fever and a host of other symptoms that will make you sorry you didn’t take the time to go get the flu shot. —Pedro carrillo, m.D.

the shift to

green

by Shelley T. hudSon

According to Sustainable Design Corporation’s Clark Baxter, “Green is good.”

As one of the preeminent experts in the sustainable building field, Baxter knows a thing or two about the growth of environmental awareness. The “green” trend has become a social mandate over the last decade, and, in California, it is soon to become a legal one. Sustainable Design is leading the charge in South Orange County.

Starting January, 2011, California will adopt the International Code Council’s guidelines regarding energy and resource conservation, water usage, carbon dioxide emissions and waste management. These changes will not only affect design and construction professionals, but homeowners as well. All remodeling and construction projects will be required to strictly adhere to the new mandates as a condition of inspection clearance and certification for occupancy.

The adoption of the Green Codes will put California at the forefront of this national environmental initiative. Construction companies will reuse resources like framing timbers, drywall and roofing materials, drastically cutting waste... and landfill space. Architects and builders will be required to design energy efficient homes that utilize sustainable materials procured locally. Homeowners will enjoy a reduction in energy costs and a healthier, longer lasting, more durable home with the knowledge that they are doing their part to be environmentally responsible.

Sustainable Design integrates architectural design utilizing ecologically sound building practices with the use of sustainable resources. Clark Baxter views the shift as an idea whose time has come. He sees sustainable design as a goal, not an obstacle, and believes that, “Environmental attributes should be treated as opportunities, not constraints.” Baxter has been involved in the field for more than 30 years and has seen these changes evolve over time. He was a proud Ecology Club geek in high school and his involvement in the first Earth Day solidified his commitment to sustainability.

Baxter is quick to point out that concern about the environment is not just the latest social trend. Having a green “certified” home offers great financial return on investment. Green building has clearly invigorated the building market by serving as a differentiator during these down real estate cycles. A longterm commitment from the government to go green suggests the market and philosophy is not a trend that will soon go away. Statistics show that a green certified home is valued 12% higher than its conventional counterpart and sells 20% faster on average. The only area of growth in the home building industry in the last five years has been within the sustainable market.

Sustainable Design incorporates innovative design principles into all its projects. Baxter’s company provides ground-up architectural design as well as cutting edge remodeling projects with sustainability “as the cornerstone of the

design criteria.” Before you build, from a simple remodel to a custom luxury coastal residence, sustainablility should be one of your top priorities. Sustainable Design is an expert in initiating the process, providing inspection and evaluation services tailored specifically for your project needs.

Whether you need help on how to make your home more energy efficient and lower maintenance costs, or you plan to build your dream green home, Sustainable Design, Inc. is the place to start.

LOCAL EVENTS

All in Good Taste g e at t h e m i s s i o n th e v i n ta

by Jennifer Pham

Take a short drive to the Mission San Juan Capistrano and enjoy The Vintage, a “Celebration of Good Taste,” on Saturday, October 16th from 6 p.m. to 10p.m. This 14th annual evening of gourmet food and fine wine is brought to you by top local restaurants and surrounding wineries. The Vintage Silent Auction, gaming tables, dancing and live musical performances from Steely Jam, Tim Robert Johnson and Douglas Roegiers will keep you entertained throughout the night.

Proceeds from the event support the San Juan Capistrano Chamber of Commerce to benefit the local business community and the Mission San Juan Capistrano and its various programs.

Tim Robert Johnson, solo finger guitarist and Founder of Lord of Strings Concerts, will entertain guests in the Mission front courtyard. The smooth sounds of Douglas Roegiers will open for the Vintage’s final performance from Steely Jam. Roegiers, who has focused his work in “great American Crooning,” will be singing the best tunes of Frank Sinatra. Steely Dan’s most faithful tribute band, Steely Jam, will dip into R&B, Soul, Rock and Jazz with musicianship and style to complete the sounds of the evening.

Steely Jam will recreate the artistry of the “thinking man’s band.”

Country Club, Mahé, Ricardo’s Place, Sarducci’s Capistrano Depot, Sundried Tomato American Bistro & Café, The Derby Deli & Dueling Piano Bar and The Vintage Steakhouse. Local wineries will also participate at the event, showcasing some of their finest selections.

It has all the makings of a premier Orange County event: exquisite food, great wine, live music, a silent auction and gaming tables, as well as the one thing only San Juan Capistrano can provide, the historic backdrop of our jewel, Mission San Juan Capistrano.

20 OCTOBER 2010

The Vintage Silent Auction will feature over 100 gift baskets that have been donated by various sponsors. Auction items range from health and beauty certificates and sporting goods to vacation packages and other services.

General admission tickets are $75 and include admission, food, wine, beer, entertainment, dancing and $25 in complimentary chips for the casino area. VIP table seating can also be purchased for $900 and accommodates up to 10.

Make your appointment now: Friday, October 8th at the Coach House for SONGS, SMILES ‘N SOUL 3: A Benefit Concert Bringing Smiles To Our Kids featuring The Ken Garcia Band, Dr. Jeff Briney & His All-Star Band, Pasion Gitana and Sasha Evans.

Talk about instant karma and some serious perspective! You get a wonderful night of world-class music (Rock, Folk, Flamenco, Jazz) while helping kids who otherwise would not be able to afford much needed dental work. The musicians and dentists involved are volunteering their time, so all proceeds from the concert will go directly to children and supplies.

Conceived by local musician Ken Garcia, of Island Dentistry in Laguna Beach, this event will include live music, raffles and much more.

Elite sponsors, Billabong, Sanuk, Hobie Surf Shop and Coors Light, enthusiastically support this event, which benefits OC children via the Orange County Dental Society’s Dental Health Foundation and the California Dental Association. “We hope to give people a chance, even in this scary economy, to help some kids who have nothing. I used to go on missions to Mexico and friends have asked if I was still doing that. While Mexico isn’t ideal these days, there are plenty of children in our backyard that are in need. Bottom line: times are tough, but we can help here!”

Dr. Garcia’s contagious love and zest for life shines through in whatever task he undertakes and this event is no different. Garcia has played music with longtime friends Dick Dale, Donovan Frankenreiter and Jack Johnson and has gladly accepted their challenge to use his music to help others. Also on the bill is local dentist Jeff Briney, who just happens to own one of the finest restaurants and live music venues in the area: Renaissance Dana Point.

LOCAL EVENTS

Family Frights and

Fiendish All dressed up with no place to go? Don’t be afraid...

South Orange County has lots of opportunities to get the Boo scared out of you, eat candy and show off your Halloween finery.

by Shelley T. Hudson

Dana Point A fun-for-the-whole-family event is Dana Wharf Sportfishing’s annual Halloween Kids Boo Cruise. Each 20-minute harbor cruise leaves from Dana Point Harbor and features a costume contest, candy and more. This popular event is free and always draws a crowd, so come early and be prepared for a boatload of fun on Friday, October 29th from 5 to 7 p.m. For further info, call 949. 496.5794.

The Ocean Institute continues its Halloween tradition with the Tidepool of Terrors providing fun and learning for all ages. Interactive “spooky science labs” including Vampires of the Deep and Ghastly Goo encourage hands-on participation and trick-or-treating throughout the aquarium keeps those busy little legs moving. Critter crafts and a story-telling pirate round out the activities.

Regular admission is $4.50 for children and $6.50 for adults, but kids in costume are free and eligible for the costume contest. This event takes place on Saturday, October 30th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is a fun, easy introduction to ocean sciences and marine life. Call 949.496.2274 for details.

Little ghosts and goblins can also enjoy the Haunted Campground event at Doheny State Beach on Saturday, October 30th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Each year the campground is transformed into a carnival with crafts, booths and a special “kid fun zone.” Children are encouraged to wear costumes and to bring along a nonperishable food item to donate. Admission is free.

Phone 949.496.6172 for more information.

Laguna Niguel The 10th Annual Haunted Trails in Laguna Niguel runs for three nights and promises to be scarier than ever! This year’s theme is “Niguel-o-polis: Urban Terror.” The outdoor walk-through maze will lead you through frightening cities of the year 2050 including New York City’s subway system and Central Park and San Francisco’s Chinatown. Special guests will include New Orleans zombies and various other nefarious characters. Your 15-minute guided tour will end in a swampy graveyard— if you make it that far. This event is best for thrill-seekers aged eight and older. Remember to wear comfortable shoes to walk (or run!) the trails.

Admission is $10 at the onsite Parks & Rec building. Event dates and times are Thursday, October 28th from 6:30 to 9 p.m., Friday, October 29th from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. and Saturday, October 30th from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Call 949.362.4351 to learn more.

San Juan Capistrano The Haunted House of Illusions at Zax Studios in San Juan Capistrano is billed as “a magic show with a haunted twist.” This unconventional haunted house features professional magicians performing scary tricks that fool the eye and send shivers down the spine. Each elaborate scene is another terror-fying performance! Proceeds benefit the CARE Foundation and the local school district. Great for gremlins eight and older. Tickets are $8 and may be purchased at Zax Studios, participating costume stores and online. Check it out Friday, October 29th from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, October 30th from 4 to 9 p.m. For additional information, call 949.388.5802 or log on to www.hauntedhouseofillusions.com.

The San Juan Capistrano Historical Society’s Walking Ghost Tours are offered at 6:30, 7:00 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 30th.

Each tour begins at the O’Neill Museum and the haunting ghost tales of California’s oldest neighborhood are told while you wander down Los Rios Street. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 949.493.8444. Bundle up, because the Ghost Tour is chilling!

LOCAL FOOD & DRINK

Next

by Amelia Winslow

I am tempted to write about one of San Clemente’s newest restaurants in only two words: Lobster Nachos. This pile of wonton chips, melted Manchego cheese, tropical mango salsa, hunks of sweet lobster meat and drizzle of crème fraiche is enough to entice a visit to The Next Door. Awaiting your arrival is a fantastic local spot serving gourmet yet unpretentious food at phenomenal prices.

I suspect, however, that the innovative and enthusiastic Chef Tony, the creative mind behind the food at The Melting Pot’s next-door neighbor, would like it if I clued you in to a few more of the gems his menu has to offer. Having enjoyed every morsel that touched my tongue during lunch at The Next Door, I’m happy to elaborate on some of their other successful dishes.

Lobster Nachos

The Next Door has something for everyone, but they certainly don’t offer generic food. Each component of their Californiainspired cuisine is made in-house, from the sauces to the mayonnaise to the house-ground sirloin and bacon in their burger. The result of this extra care is extremely flavorful food that sets this eatery apart from others.

Besides the delectable nachos, my friend and I enjoyed a variety of small plates. The grilled artichoke, Spacious bar served with a Meyer lemon aioli full of lemon zest and fresh herbs; the hearty pulled pork sliders, braised in amber ale and served with a tangy BBQ sauce and crispy onion strings; and Chef Tony’s unique take on Bruschetta: toasted baguette loaded with melted Brie, diced tomatoes, fresh herbs, and avocado – were all highlights. I’m glad we saved room for dessert, because the mini mud pie with homemade toffee fudge and the warm apple crisp with bourbon caramel sent us home happy.

My advice to you: visit The Next Door, be it for lunch, dinner, or the weekend brunch with $9 bottomless mimosas and a live Bluegrass band.

Do come in!
