In 2011, you might be hard-pressed to identify an industry that’s been relatively unchanged by technology in the last century. A shining example of how expert craftsmanship and old-fashioned customer care still make all the difference, however, is Norton and Vicki Canterbury’s art glass studio, The Beveled Edge. As many “mom and pop shops” have made way for super-stores and big box warehouse chains, The Beveled Edge operates in much the same way as they did in 1986—all custom, all hand-crafted.

Fresh out of the Marine Corps in 1983, Norton took an apprentice position at a stained glass overlay franchise to make ends meet. Three years later, he opened his first studio. Since then, Norton has occupied locations in both San Clemente and San Juan Capistra-no, with the Canterbury’s settling the

THE BEVELED EDGE ART GLASS STUDIO 27931 Cabot Road, Suite B • Laguna Niguel949.582.1035 • www.BeveledEdge.com

business in Laguna Niguel in 2000- where it’s still going strong.

What’s the secret behind The Beveled Edge’s 25 years as a successful, family-owned business? It’s actually no secret at all. Norton and Vicki personally work with each and every customer, guar-anteeing their workmanship for a life-time. When customers approach the Canterburys with a project, the wheels are set in motion for the creation of a one-of-a-kind, fully-custom art piece. While the Beveled Edge specializes in traffic-stopping entry doors, they also design and install elaborate windows, cabinet doors, shower systems and table tops. Each piece of glass is com-pletely hand-crafted.

The design process is collaborative every step of the way. Once Norton and his customer formulate a concept, Vicki creates a full-scale template of the design. After the final design and color scheme are approved, the project is fabricated right at the shop. With 140 years of combined experi-ence among the crew, precision crafts-manship is the standard. The Beveled Edge’s customers enjoy knowing that they are working with the owners of the business directly and that their projects are executed with expertise from conceptualization to installation.

Although most of The Beveled Edge’s business is residential—and from sat-isfied repeat customers—the Canter-burys work frequently with designers

and local businesses. Their sophisti-cated stained glass installations are displayed throughout the area and stunning examples can be seen at the Dana Point City Council offices and JSerra High School’s chapel.

An entryway designed and installed by The Beveled Edge sets a home apart from the rest of the neighbor-hood, providing distinctive curb ap-peal and a beautiful exterior focal point. Many larger homes have dark, uninteresting foyers and front entries. The Beveled Edge’s leaded glass designs offer style and flair, allowing natural light to flood the space.

Norton says that the majority of his residential entry projects utilize the homeowner’s existing door(s), trans-lating into an eco-friendly, cost-effec-tive solution. The Beveled Edge will transform any door—even metal and fiberglass doors primarily used in new construction—into functional works of art. In fact, many doors are de-signed utilizing an existing motif from the home that’s incorporated into the pattern. For example, the curves of a favorite iron table or the geometric shapes of an art deco chandelier may provide the inspiration for the final product. One customer even sur-prised her golf aficionado husband with a stained glass version of himself on the fairway!

By all accounts, Norton Canterbury is a lucky man. This year, he celebrates

Celebrating 25 years in business

Beveledthe

by shelly t. hudson

A CUt ABOVe

30 years of marriage with Vicki and 25 years in business with The Bev-eled Edge. He has made his home in Laguna Niguel since 1986 with his wife and three children: Jaime, a professional distance runner re-siding in Arizona, Jeremy, a senior art degree candidate at UCSB and Paige, a sophomore and track athlete at Dana Hills High School. While many of us might consider slowing down after 25 years, Nor-ton is as eager and enthusiastic about his business as ever. Maybe that’s his edge.

The Beveled Edge’s creative talent and

superior craftsmanship were spectacular at

enhancing the beauty of our home’s entryway. The final product improved the look of our entry by 1000%. The full-scale template of

the new door and windows was extremely helpful in

visualizing the final design. Norton & Vicki are both congenial and a pleasure to work with. We cong-ratulate them on their 25 years in business.

Question: Is there a Whooping cough epidemic, and should I get vaccinated? —Pam, ladera ranch

ross meDical: Yes. The Centers for Disease control (CDC) has reported an increase in the number of pertussis or ‘whooping cough’ cases in California, and has recommened that Californians be immunized, especially if they are in contact with infants. Pertussis is a bacteria that causes a respiratory illness which can lead to serious complications. Infants less than 12 months old are at increased risk for pneumonia or hospitalization. The pertussis bacteria is spread person to person through respiratory droplets during a cough or sneeze. The disease starts like the common cold, and after 1-2 weeks severe coughing begins. Children and infants may become very ill and cough violently, resulting in a ‘whooping’ sound.

The best way to prevent whooping cough is thru vaccination. Infants are recommded to receive their scheduled vaccines. Adolescents getting a preteen tetanus booster at 11-12 years should receive tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis vaccine (known as Tdap). The easiest thing for adults to do is to get Tdap instead of their next regular tetanus booster—that Td shot that they were supposed to get every 10 years. The dose of Tdap can be given earlier than the 10 year mark, so if you’re not sure its best to get the booster. The vaccine is available at any of the Ross Medical Associates locations.—Karl gebhard, m.D.

Question: I have 3 children and need physicals for preschool, kindergarten and college. You offer free sports physicals, but what about school physicals? —tina, san clemente

ross meDical: We have expanded our free physical offer to include all youth physicals, including those young adults going to college. If your children need immunizations and/or laboratory tests, we can offer a cash discount or bill your insurance (we accept most PPOs and HMO thru Monarch HealthCare).

Our doctors are available every day by appointment or walk-in and can provide primary care physician services as well as urgent care. You and your family’s health and wellness is important to us and we hope you choose Ross Medical Associates as your medical home.

In CalIfornIa, Consumer bankruptCIes rose 25% In 2010 and were up 9% natIonwIde. There were 24,117 consumer bankruptcy filings in the Santa Ana division of the Cen-tral District of California…and that was just in the first quarter of 2010! The majority of those were Chapter 7 filings to liquidate as-sets and eliminate unsecured debts.

What should be of great interest, especially here in South Orange County, is the growth seen in Chapter 13 and consumer Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings. In both of these, the consumers typically are able to keep their homes, eliminate their junior mortgages (i.e. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th mortgages) entire-ly, and even reduce the amount owed on other secured debts. When an individual does not qualify for Chapter 13, they often consider a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. For ex-ample, if a debtor’s secured debt exceeds $1,081,000 and/or combined unsecured debt exceeds $360,475, and the debtor

wishes to keep delinquent assets, the only viable bankruptcy recourse would be to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Here is how it works: years ago, when home val-ues were at their height, home owners used the equity in their home(s) to borrow against. They took out second mortgages, third mortgages, and even fourth mortgages. Those mortgages were secured by the equity in the home. But to-day, one in four California homeowners is upside down (where the liens against a property exceed the value of the property). In many cases, debt-ors can completely eliminate junior liens either in a Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 Bankruptcy!

For most individuals and families, eliminating their junior mortgages and creating an affordable three to five year repayment plan on their debt is better than anything possibly achieved through a loan modification. Consumers are able to get caught up on delinquent mortgage payments and elimi-nate their junior mortgages upon the completion of their Chapter 11 or 13 plan. Consumers then walk away from their plan, free of all unsecured debts and their second mortgages in some cases. It truly represents a fresh start.

The great news is that by using this plan, it is pos-sible to stay in your home while paying only a per-centage of your unsecured debt even though you may be making less than you did several years ago.

The only shame is that most people who qualify for this type of bankruptcy don’t even know it exists!

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. Has tHere been anY scientific researcH publisHed about restructured, ionized Water? This restructured, ionized water has been a medically tested and proven approach to preventive action. Numerous peer reviewed scientific studies performed worldwide in well respected universities and hospitals show benefits of restructured ionized water. These studies have been published at www.pubmed.gov. Enagic’s® water ionizers in particular have been certified by The Japanese Ministry of Health - the equivalent of the FDA here in the USA – and are unbelievably strict. Keep this in mind, these machines are not just an appliance for your home, it’s a medical device for your home.

After Maddie’s mother noticed that she appeared “more tired than usual” and that “her balance seemed a little off” she was taken to Children’s Hos-pital of Orange County (CHOC) where a CT scan uncovered a malignant, inoperable brain tumor known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Located on the brain stem where the spinal cord meets the brain, it is the most feared pediatric brain tumor. Within weeks, the disease causes a deterio-ration in the ability to walk followed by a steady loss of motor control throughout the body. There is no cure. The survival rate is zero. Kajsa’s and Collie’s only solace was that the disease did not typically cause significant pain.

The James’ had a mission to do something positive to properly honor Maddie’s memory. Knowing her love of the sea and everything under the waves, they immediately thought of The Ocean Institute in Dana Point. Maddie often referred to it as “the best place ever” and would stick the name tags she received daily at Sea Camp to her bedroom wall. After contacting the Ocean Institute with Mad-die’s story, Kajsa and Collie learned of its expansion plans for an educational center that would cater to children, like Maddie, that have a passion for the ocean. Their mission became even more clear when

As a parent, it’s the unthinkable. You’ve just been handed a diagnosis that your child is dying. one moment, the world makes sense and the next it’s an incomprehensible blur of shock, disbelief, an-ger and unfathomable grief.

this is the reality for collie and Kajsa James. on January 14th of this year, their healthy, vibrant 5-year-old daughter, madeleine Reese James, was just like every other kindergartner at st. Anne school, laughing with her friends on the playground. two days later, they were told their only child was going to die.

Maddie Make a Difference for

maddie’s story how you can helpMaddie saw Kajsa looking at the plans and she asked what they were. When Kajsa explained, Maddie said, “That’s so cool, mommy. Are we going to help them build it?” With all her heart, Kajsa responded, “Yes, Maddie, we are.”

The Ocean Institute is currently in the final phase of it’s $4M Capital Campaign to build the new Seaside Learning Center. To be built right “on the water,” the facility will introduce thousands of K-12 students and public visitors to current and emerging issues in oceanography, environ-mental science and maritime history. A series of learning stations have been carefully designed for the Seaside Learning Center to provide im-mersion-style education.

Maddie passed on March 13th, 2011. Her ashes will be spread at sea, but her parents are deter-mined to see her memory live on through the Maddie James Foundation.

The Seaside Learning Center project is shovel-ready with all permits in place. What’s needed are the necessary funds to make it happen. Depending upon success with fundraising, con-struction is planned for summer/fall of 2011.

Every dog has its day and this is your four-legged friend’s opportunity to have some tail waggin’ fun. You and your pooch can munch on treats, listen to the sounds of Martin Gerschwitz on keyboard and shop for cool doggie gear. Be sure to meet the celebrity dogs, Chloe and Papi, from Bev-erley Hills Chihuahua II and sign up for the pet contests that will include: Be a Rock Star, Best Costume and Best Pet Trick. Prizes will be awarded to the top three dogs in each category.

For more information about the WAg-A-thon or Pet Project Foundation, please visit

www.PetProjectFoundation.org or call 949.595.8899

This year, Ted Ondrak of SoCal Herd-ing (www.socalherding.com) will be giving demonstrations with his skill-ful border collies. These herding dogs are the main attraction at the Queen Mary Scottish Festival and have appeared on Animal Planet and National Geographic.

By participating in the event, you can gather pledges that will directly ben-efit The San Clemente/Dana Point Animal Shelter. With $75 in pledges, you will receive a Wag sweatshirt with the colorful 2011 logo. Buy My Bikes is donating a beach cruiser bike that will be given to the individual raising the most pledges. Participants collecting $100 or more will be eligible for the grand prize drawing — two nights at the St. Regis Resort & Spa. Visit www.PetProjectFoundation.com to download the pledge form or find it inside the Wag brochure that is distributed throughout the community.

Pet Project Foundation provides countless hours of volunteering and over $300,000 annually for medical care, food, a large percentage of dog trainer and kennel attendant salaries and community spay and neuter pro-grams. Lost and abandoned animals have a second chance at a good life, thanks to the unique partnership between PPF and the Shelter.

All paid event participants will receive a pet themed t-shirt, designed by local artist Heather Ritts (www.abovethereefs.com), and a goodie bag brimming with treats and toys. Sign up by April 23rd and receive a free dog bandanna plus $5 off the admission price of $30.

L O c a L f O O d & d R i n K

Dana Point’s dining and nightlife scene has just stepped up a notch! With the opening of Luxe, on the corner of Del Prado and Violet Lantern (in the former location of Purple Feet), your decision about where to go for cocktails, dinner and happy hour has become immeasurably easier.

Luxe’s sophisticated vibe is a welcome addition to the local landscape. A horseshoe shaped bar anchors the center of the restaurant with plentiful bar stools and a full selection of libations. In addition to the tables around Luxe’s perimeter windows, a somewhat more intimate lounge area in the back is furnished with low tables and sofa-style seating, providing the perfect place to catch up with friends and share Luxe’s small plate offerings. For those seeking an al fresco experience, patio seating is also available.

We started with a tasty eggplant flatbread drizzled with garlic aioli and mint. The swordfish brochette was primo – skewered with hunks of red onion, mushrooms and yellow pepper. We also enjoyed the Luxe Ahi Tartare - a yummy stack of finely diced cucumber, ultra-fresh Ahi, topped with an avocado mousse.

Some friends recommended the Jumbo Meatballs and one bite told me they would be on the table every time we visit! Served in a light garlic marinara sauce, these house-made beef spheres were melt-in-your-mouth tender and perfectly seasoned with fresh herbs. We also loved the Stuffed Shrimp (full of lump crab meat and drizzled with a lemony butter sauce) and the petite Filet Mignon served with a duo of fingerling potatoes and braised onions.

In addition to their selection of small plates, Luxe offers sandwiches, salads and dinner portions as well as a cheese plate with fruit and nuts and a bento-box-style Mediterranean Sampler of hummus, roasted eggplant & garlic dip, feta cheese and Kalamata olives.

Luxe’s happy hour is 3-6 p.m. daily, including selected wines at $5-$6 per glass and small plates priced at 2 for $12. If you’re in the mood for a cocktail, I’d suggest the Pomegranate Mojito which is swirled with fresh mint and the perfect touch of tart ruby juice.

"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
