september 2013: MATT VICELJA, Publisher 73! It's hard to believe...this September marks the 6th anniversary and the 73rd issue of The Local DISH Magazine. 73 covers and feature editorials. 73 restaurant reviews and calendars. 73 months of local event coverage and small business spotlights. Our gratitude and sincere thanks to the loyal readers who have found our publication entertaining and have utilized it as a dependable resource in their daily lives. Your support of south Orange County businesses is the foundation on which our magazine is built and is at the core of what makes this a thriving and cohesive community in which to call home. Thanks to the many advertising partners who have entrusted us to get the word out. And to the exceptionally talented group of designers, writers and editors who make our magazine run seamlessly each and every month, I offer my unending gratitude and appreciation.
Adding beveled glass to my entry doors has had the biggest impact for the smallest investment of any home improvement I’ve ever done.

LOCAL COVER STORY
appointments, and they deliver exclusively at The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Memorial in Laguna Hills. Terri Deeds, Executive Director of The Women's Hospital at Saddleback Memorial, is proud of the network of specialists and the hospital staff who work together to ensure the safety and comfort of mother and child—no matter what the circumstances. “Our on site Level III neonatal intensive care unit is adjacent to the labor and delivery department, and our round-the-clock Board Certified neonatologists are here to care for critically ill babies,” explains Deeds, “Of course we plan for perfect deliveries and healthy babies, but we’re more than prepared and equipped for any outcome.” A 24/7 staff of OB-dedicated anesthesiologists and hospitalists (physicians available to evaluate patients who arrive with pregnancy issues) provides an additional safety net and peace of mind.
Orange Coast
Women’s Medical Group
& The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Memorial
Delivering Exceptional Maternity Care by Shelley Hudson
Orange Coast Women’s Medical Group and The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Memorial partner to provide exceptional maternity care. With offices in San Clemente, Laguna Hills and Irvine, Orange Coast Women’s Medical Group has provided personal, comprehensive care to over 50,000 women in the local area. The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Memorial has been the birthplace of over 60,000 babies, serving the community for over 25 years. The Orange Coast Women’s Medical Group’s (OCWMG) Talega office in San Clemente opened in 2007 with the goal of offering convenience to expectant mothers and other busy women seeking personalized care, user-friendly resources, and exceptionally skilled physicians. The group’s partnership with The Women's Hospital at Saddleback Memorial ensures that patients benefit from the highest standard of healthcare available. Obstetrician Dr. Elizabeth Johnson describes the office’s familial atmosphere. “San Clemente is a special community, and it is where my family calls home. Caring for patients here is particularly gratifying and unique,” she says, “On any given day I might run into a neighbor, local business owner, or friend I have had the chance to care for dur-
ing an important life event.” Fellow physician Dr. Todd LaRocque agrees, “I feel privileged to work in this field and share experiences that are frequently joyous and often challenging throughout the stages of a woman’s life. I look forward to continuing relationships with the families who make this area such a vibrant place to live and work.” Specializing in maternity care from preconception planning through post-partum care, OCWMG provides onsite ultrasound, nutritional counseling, vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) services, and gestational diabetes management. Patients enjoy the scheduling flexibility and proximity of the Talega, Laguna Hills, and Irvine offices for these services and for routine
In its 25-year history, The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Memorial has delivered over 60,000 babies, many of whom were multiples—even quintuplets! The newly remodeled luxury birthing suites have been designed to provide the most healing and relaxing environment for expectant parents. With the convenience of local offices and the security and standard of excellence of The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Memorial, Orange Coast Women’s Medical Group is the comprehensive, confident choice in women’s healthcare. Visit www.ocwmg.com for physician bios, appointments, healthcare resources, and questions for the advice nurse.

San Clemente new mom and OCWMG patient Megan Wohlfarth recounts her experience with Dr. Elizabeth Johnson. “When I first found out I was pregnant with my son, I was with another doctor. I felt that my appointments were rushed, and my questions weren’t answered. I switched to Dr. Johnson ten weeks into my pregnancy, and it was the best decision. I immediately felt a connection and noticed a significant difference with patient interaction—with the front desk staff as well as Dr. Johnson. As a first time mom, I was anxious and stressed. I didn’t feel like a number with Dr. Johnson, however. I was treated as a patient, not a client. I experienced an escalated, personal level of care, and I left every appointment feeling stronger. My son is now 18 months old, and I’m expecting my second child. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Johnson, the office staff, the private delivery suite, and the wonderful care I received at the hospital.” 10 september 2013

Casa Romantica A Premiere Southern California cultural center Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens has always been a jewel in the heart of San Clemente. This year ushers in a new Executive Director, Berenika Schmitz, along with an array of new programs for the community to enjoy. “Berenika is the ideal Executive Director to lead Casa Romantica due to her Harvard, Oxford, Juilliard and Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts training and background. Her energy to engage artists, performers, guest speakers, and arts and science educators is remarkable. She will continue the Center’s dedication to history and California culture, while also broadening its reach and engaging the community. The Board and I are tremendously happy to welcome her,” says Ruth DeNault, Casa Romantica’s Board President. “This 2013-14 season will have extraordinary programming with something for everyone – a season that will bring the very best artists, speakers and performers to the Casa,” shares Berenika, “We can be a premiere Southern California Cultural Center.” Highlights of the season include the performance of the acclaimed Christ Church Cathedral Choir from the University of Oxford in England. The Luminario Ballet of Los Angeles will lead the audience through site specific choreography that will make the Casa location become as much a part of the performance as the dancer’s bodies. A Casa Nutcracker will also be presented during the holiday season. The Casa has always hosted a variety of guest speakers and lectures which will expand to include Malcolm Warner, director of the Laguna Art Museum, and Timothy J. Clark, world-renowned California artist. A new Casa Wellness Wednesdays program will present UCI Medical Health speakers, as well as guest yoga classes from Asana Fit and Pure Yoga. A Casa Cool Jazz se-
ries will feature a salsa dance lesson and Latin Jazz. Open Casa will highlight visual artists, starting with Rick J. Delanty, celebrated San Clemente fine visual artist, who will present "The Color of San Clemente: A Collection of Original Paintings of San Clemente and its Surroundings." These visual art openings will be free to the public.
Berenika is particularly excited about an expanded Casa Kids program. The Casa has always encouraged a love of reading through its Wednesday morning StoryTime at 10 a.m. for ages 3 to 5. This year, the Casa will offer programs in music and theater from the Arts and Learning Conservatory. A Visual Arts class for toddlers taught by local artist and teacher Fery Khadivi and STEM based science programs by Mad Science will be new additions for children in the community. “I cannot think of a more inspiring and pleasant place for parents to spend time with their children. The programming is of incredibly high standards, and we hope that it will also give parents an opportunity to socialize and enjoy the magnificent gardens and grounds of the Casa,” remarks Berenika.

The Casa Captivating 2013-14 Season is ready to begin, and reservations are open as is the Casa: a warm welcoming San Clemente home and Cultural Center, open to everyone.

Ask the doCtoR QUESTION: My son often hobbles off the soccer field after a game. What should I do? —Rhonda, San Juan Capistrano ROSS MEDICAL: Acute ankle injury is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in both sedentary persons and athletes. It accounts for about 20% of all sports injuries and is often seen in basketball and soccer players. Ankle injury may also occur even when not playing sports, such as stepping off an uneven sidewalk or curb. Risk factors for ankle injury include a previous history of ankle sprain, and inadequate stretching. The immediate goals of treatment are to decrease pain and swelling, and to protect the ankle joint from further injury. The ‘RICE’ treatment protocol is very effective, it includes Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Application of a cold pack to the joint has been shown to reduce swelling and helps improve recovery time. Heat is not recommended, as this will cause more swelling. Medications such as Advil and Naproxen can help reduce swelling and pain. Your physician should assess the stability of your ankle and check for joint laxity, and may order an x-ray to evaluate for possible fractures. Physical therapy after any severe injury is highly recommended. —Karl J Gebhard, MD, MS Ross Medical Associates

Across from the Historic Mission San Juan Capistrano
BY BONNIE SMALL
Ricardo Beas and his eponymous restaurant, Ricardo’s Place, have been pillars of San Juan Capistrano for over a decade; known as much for their commitment to our local community as for their delicious traditional soups. As a lifelong Mexican food devotee, I have spent the last few years branching out from the world of combination platters in order to acquaint myself (and my doubting family) with the lighter side of the menu. On a recent visit, we began with a beautiful plate of ceviche made with fish and octopus and garnished with slices of avocado and lime wedges. I had to battle the skeptics for my fair share. We also enjoyed Ricardo’s shrimp cocktail served in the traditional Mexican style – large chilled prawns immersed in a delicious sweet tomato sauce with diced avocado, onions and tomatoes. This dish is eaten like chilled soup - with a spoon and a handful of saltine crackers. A word about condiments - the housemade pico de gallo is delicious and, if you have a thing for salsa, make sure you ask for Ricardo’s roasted jalapeño and green chile salsa, tomatillo salsa, and chile de arbol salsa which each have some spice, but mostly you’ll be dazzled by their depth of flavor. If you’re feeling festive, try a Mission Margarita - a refreshing blend of lime juice and tequila modernized and amplified with the addition of muddled cucumber and fresh jalapeño. Other notable favorites at our table were the chicken fajitas – the sizzle alone draws me in every time - and a platter of tender, slow-cooked, pork carnitas; each is served with beans and rice, but the kitchen will gladly substitute a green salad if you prefer. We shared Ricardo’s flan for dessert and those few bites of velvety custard with golden caramel sauce were the perfect way to round out the meal. Ricardo's Place is open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and closed on Mondays.
