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 encom-passes 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 excite-ment of a brother and sister team launch-ing 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 Capistra-no. 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!

c y c l eThe Hungry Heart

shows how to lose weight and end the battle with food for good!

FOOD: No longer my BFF By Kira Sarino

Food was my besT Friend! Food was the only thing that I felt was a constant in my life. No matter what else was going on around me, I knew that when things were in chaos or in doubt, food would be there. While I used food as a crutch, the health of my mental and physical self took a backseat.

Problems and issues that would have been better dealt with upfront, were pushed down, and bottled up by my abuse of food. As I gained pound after pound, I would cry my-self to sleep wondering what was wrong with me. I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t (or wouldn’t) stop the binge eating.

I began to isolate myself from my friends, choos-ing to sit in and eat when I should have been living my life.

When I found the Hungry Heart Program, I knew that it was the place for me. Learning how to break out of the chains of food and

dieting which had bound me for several decades. Had I known about this program a lot earlier it could have saved me much heartache. I learned how to approach

food as just food. I no longer eat when I’m stressed, tired, or bored. I’ve lost my excess weight natu-rally and have joined the land of the living. I love my life and feel good about who I am. Food no longer rules my every thought or beats down on my self esteem. It is just food. I now spend time at the beach and feel comfortable. My week-ends are taken up en-joying fun activities with friends. I truly do enjoy exercising regu-larly and take care of

myself the way I’ve always known I should. I am a healthy, happy, and more confi-dent person. I live my life the way I always dreamed of. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

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 getenough 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 getthe 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 positiveattention, I will start regaining the weight.

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

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

I feel bad about my weight whichmakes me feel like a failure.

Renaissance Home FuRnisHingsby Shelley T. hudSon

Equal parts fam-ily business, ware-house showroom and design bou-tique, 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 de-signers 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 cus-tomer satisfaction has won over a loyal following of discerning customers. Although he jokes that Re-naissance is “the best kept secret in San Juan,” be-cause 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 de-sign 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 Renais-sance 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” philos-ophy and keep coming back. The instant gratifica-tion 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. Lou-ise Vincent and Robin Earp lead the design team, and they provide both in-store and in-home con-sultations. So whether you just need help choos-ing a rug or your house is an empty shell needing warmth and comfort (and paint, and flooring, and window treatments…), Louise and Robin are wait-ing 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.

Another design service option offered at Re-naissance 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-

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 conve-nience; 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 togeth-er. It’s easy and it’s free!

Loyal Renaissance customers, Kelly and Rob Ham-mons, describe their experience as “highly recom-mended and so easy.” The Hammons are trans-plants 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 com-petitive and the customer service is first-rate. I can’t say enough about the staff. They truly go the extra mile.”

Question: Should I get the flu shot this year and why? —amy, san clemente

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.

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

Modern Medicine. Personal care. The ross Way.

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

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.

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.

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 man-dates 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. Homeown-ers 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 environ-mentally 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 re-turn on investment. Green building has clearly invigorated the building market by serving as a differentiator during these down real estate cycles. A long-term 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 proj-ects. Baxter’s company provides ground-up architectural design as well as cut-ting edge remodeling projects with sustainability “as the cornerstone of the

All in Good TAsTeTake 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.”

Guests at this year’s Vintage will sample sweet treats and savory eats from many premier local restaurants including Bad to the Bone BBQ, El Adobe De Capistrano, Marbella

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.

An area of the Mission’s courtyard will be transformed into “Little Italy,” celebrating San Juan Capistrano’s sister city in Capestrano, Italy. The section will be full of fine Italian wine and food, honoring Capestrano, Italy from Banfi Wines, Frankies Biscotti, Brio Tuscany Grille, Casa Torelli Wines, Dolce Gelato, San Pellegrino Sparkling Water and Trader Joe’s of Laguna Niguel among others.

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 ser-vices. A live auction will also take place that evening with three exclusive packages being presented to the highest bidders.

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. For more information and to purchase

tickets, visit www.thevintagesjc.com or stop by the San Juan Capistrano Chamber of Commerce at 31421 La Matanza in San Juan.

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. —Mark Bodenhamer, Executive Director of

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.

The ocean institute continues its Halloween tradition with the Tidepool of Terrors providing fun and learning for all ages.

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.

The Next Door has something for everyone, but they certainly don’t offer generic food. Each component of their California-inspired 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, 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!
