M A G A Z I N E
Happy New Year! As we turn the page, our hopes rise at the start of a fresh, new 2012. I’m most looking forward to witnessing many firsts in my family’s life this year. My son will be starting his first year of baseball this spring and graduates from kindergarten in June. I’m looking forward to hearing my baby girl say “Da-Da,” to watch her take her first steps and to witness her voraciously attack her 1st Birthday cake. My wife and I will also be celebrating our 20th year together in May. Where has the time gone?
January brings with it a renewed excitement for improving our lives, both physically and within our physical spaces. Read about the variety of fitness options available to you locally that will help you look and feel great in the new year. Take the time in 2012 to also improve your surroundings. Get organized and gain clarity by de-cluttering your home - one closet, cabinet, and shelf at time.
The Local DISH Magazine is proud to feature Ross Medical Associates on our first cover of the new year. Celebrating its 2nd Anniversary in San Juan Capistrano, their urgent-care services and family practice provides quality healthcare for your entire family. Open seven days a week with extended hours, Ross Medical is there when you need them most. Make an appointment for your next flu shot, sports physical or wellness exam.
Thanks as always for reading The Local DISH Magazine!

L O C A L C O V E R S T O R Y
by Shelley T. hudSon
Whether you’re a sleepy mom with a coughing toddler, an aching weekend warrior or you’re just due for a routine exam, Ross Medical As-sociates is your family’s healthcare solution 365
days a year. This all-encompassing medical center incorpo-rates the personalized attention of a family practice and the state-of-the art equipment and extended hours of a hospital emergency room. Ross Medical’s comprehensive approach to healthcare services facilitates an open line of communication between clinician and patient at an unpar-alleled level of access and convenience. All four locations in South Orange County are at your service every day of the year, and each has a small in-house pharmacy and labora-tory as well as on-site radiology.
Ross physician and partner Dr. Karl Gebhard describes the practice as a “modern approach to family medicine and disease prevention.” “We provide the whole spectrum of medical care,” he continues, “from broken bones to hyper-tension.” Dr. Gebhard points to Ross’s recent administra-tion of the whooping cough vaccine to hundreds of school children as an example of how many local residents first learn about Ross. Students come in for a vaccine or physi-cal, and parents are impressed with the quality of care and overall experience.
The San Juan Capistrano facility is the latest addition to the group, which was founded by the late Dr. T.A. Ross. The core staff of physicians, including Dr. Gebhard, Dr. Andrew Klein and Dr. Monina Geda recently brought Dr. Lizander Pandy on board to complete its group of providers. Dr. Pandy is board certified in Family Medicine and also has a Sports Medicine Fellowship.
Community-orientedRoss Medical Associates looks to expand its reach within South Orange County as well. The offices continue to provide sports physicals to student athletes free of charge as part of an on-going community outreach. In fact, Dr. Gebhard was approached recently by a bike and board shop owner about sports physicals for his skate-boarding team and the doctor gladly obliged. “This is how we see growth within a practice,” remarks Dr. Gebhard, “It seems that once a pa-tient receives treatment from Ross, we see the rest of the family soon after.”
Maintaining a reputation as a reliable community resource is a key component to the Ross philos-ophy. Sponsoring local events like the Swallows Day Parade and partnering with charitable orga-nizations for food drives has helped to perpetu-ate Dr. T.A. Ross’s mission: to provide high qual-ity healthcare to the community at large where and when it is needed.
Grandkids to GrandparentsDr. Gebhard says his patients range in age “from one to 100,” and come to his office for every type of treatment. Since all four locations share electronic records, a patient can expect the same high standard of care at all Ross Medical facilities. Each treatment room is equipped with a computer, so every aspect of a patient’s medical history can be recorded and promptly accessed. Routine testing and follow-up treatments can be tracked and monitored, and chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes can be more easily managed with this precise type of quality control.
one stop CareWith the convenience of an in-house pharmacy, laboratory and X-ray imaging, Ross Medical Associates is literally a one-stop shop for all things healthcare. Dr. Gebhard shared a story about a family for which he treated all three kids for earaches. Their exhausted mother was very grateful to have prescriptions dispensed on the spot, rather than having to face a long pharmacy line. Another young patient came to Dr. Gebhard complaining of a sprained ankle. After an X-ray indicated a fracture, the patient was fitted with a cast and was soon on her way. A little boy with a significant cut on his head from a scooter accident was stitched up and ready to ride again…all without the excruciating wait time at a hospital emergency room.
Ross Medical Associates: Solving life’s little problems--one headache, broken arm and cholesterol check at a time. With Ross’s four locations and extended evening, weekend and even holiday hours, easy access to high quality medical services is just minutes away.

Happy New Year!Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a real estate agent and a Realtor?
People use the terms REALTOR® and real estate agent interchangeably, but that is incorrect. Although both are licensed to sell real estate, the basic difference is that a REALTOR® is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®. As such, a REALTOR® must subscribe to the REALTOR® Code of Ethics.
What does this mean to you, the consumer? The Code of Ethics is strictly enforced. It contains 17 Articles and various underlying Standards of Practice. It's not just a bunch of rules that agents swear to uphold. The Standards are much more restrictive and confining as to proper conduct for REALTORS® than those rules governing real estate agents. While there is no evidence nor guarantee that all REALTORS® are morally and ethically better than unaffiliated real estate agents, it is an attempt by the industry to regulate and, as such, deserves recognition.
The top three articles of the REALTORS Code of Ethics include: 1. Place the interest of buyers and sellers ahead of their own; 2. Refrain from exaggerating, misrepresenting or concealing material facts; 3. Cooperate with other brokers / agents when it is in the best interests of the client to do so.
Feel Free to call ME at 949-248-9300 and I will send you the entire REALTOR Code of Ethics.

L O C A L D I g SOrganIzaTIOnaLLy CHaLLengeD? Before you meet with a pro, search through books, mag-azines and online for your closet crush. Making decisions on cabinet styles, finishes and other options will be that much easier if you’ve narrowed the field before your de-sign consultation.
THe BIg PICTure. Treat your closet like any other room in your home and impart your personal style. Whether you’re featuring a fabulous rug, a sparkling chandelier or installing hard-ware that might normally be reserved for a fine piece of furniture, make it an area you’ll fall in love with each day.
aDDreSS THe MeSS. No, really...the 80’s are calling for their Dr. Martens and Wham t-shirt! De-clutter before you start designing to accurately assess and maximize your storage needs. If it’s not a timeless classic or you haven’t worn it in a year, surrender it to the Goodwill.
BeLLS anD WHISTLeS. Don’t blow the opportunity to put your signature stamp on the space. Your walk-in’s wow factor hinges on the details. Jewelry organizers, valet pull-outs, slide out belt and tie bars, built-in hampers and ironing centers will instantly take your closet from drab to fab.
nO WIre HangerS! Let Mommy Dearest rest in peace and purchase match-ing hangers to create a uniform, clean look. Non-slip, velvet versions might cost a few bucks more, but will be a great investment in the long run.
Take a LOaD Off. If space permits, dedicate a corner or center island to seating where you can ponder the fashion statement of the day. A funky, upholstered chair or bench can add a pop of color and a bit of fun to the space.
a refLeCTIOn On yOu. Adding a full length mirror or mirrored doors will make your closet appear larger and will allow you to avert po-tential fashion faux pas.
MaTerIaL MaTTerS. Not all companies are equal when it comes to qual-ity and customer service. Make sure you’re comparing apples to apples when it comes to products and instal-lation methods. Ask questions up front to avoid disap-pointments down the road.
very girl wishes for a closet with perfectly hung clothes, beautifully displayed shoes and storage options galore. The thought of scouring for one more matching shoe
compelled me to finally tackle my own closet makeover. I started by perusing photos of ce-lebrity and mere mortal closets online, where I quickly got a sense of how I wanted mine to function and feel. Once I processed the fact that I didn’t have a condo-sized space to work with, I made a list of the must-haves and love-to-haves that were realistic for my project.
I then contacted several companies for in-home design consultations and quotes. After meeting with John Washer, owner of Irvine-based Cabinets Plus, I knew I’d found the
perfect match for the job. Not only did his 20 years of experience in the industry and competitive pricing win me over, but the local manufacturing facility and showroom allowed me to see and touch their products firsthand and offered me loads of design inspiration. John also knew how to maximize my (oh yeah, and my husband’s) limited space and he provided me with creative solutions for sev-eral design dilemmas.
Laying my eyes on my new custom closet was love at first sight! I couldn’t be more thrilled with the final outcome and with Cabinets Plus for taking my vision and making it a reality. If you’re ready to transform your garage, office, bathroom, laundry room, or pantry into an or-ganized thing of beauty, then give them a call at 949.951.7069 for a free estimate.

A mainstay in the heart of downtown San Clemente, Duke’s is proud to announce exciting changes for 2012. The tavern, best known for their delicious and all-natural burgers, is introducing a tasty new menu with discounted prices this January. Coinciding with their culinary changes, Duke’s is now offering entertainment nightly Tuesday through Saturday. Taco Tuesdays will be spiced up with live acoustic music each week. GONG Karaoke Wednesdays, inspired by Chuck Barris’ 70’s show, gives you the chance to live your American Idol dream in front of a panel of judges. Thursdays is Duke’s Dance Nights, and DJ UPS will be rocking the house every Friday. The culmination of their entertainment schedule will be their live band performances on Saturday Nights.
FLOCk of 80’s It’s time to rewind the clock, to the years when Reagan was in the White House, Duran Duran ruled the airwaves, and checkerboard Vans were “rad.” The Flock of 80’s, an energetic local band, have been taking their fans on a journey back to the 80’s for over ten years. Their audiences and loyal fans continue to grow, drawn to the retro bands’ diverse selection of the best music the decade had to offer.
Flock of 80’s lead singer, Alex Mackey, is excited to perform at Duke’s later this month. “We are so blessed to be able to play for and be a part of the community for all these years,” said Mackey. He commented that the crowd that comes together at Duke’s is a perfect blend of surfers and local military folks, all of whom make San Clemente a great town. Expect to hear a crossover of music from The Flock of 80’s as well, with hits ranging from bands like Soft Cell, Van Halen, Tommy Tutone, Ah-Ha, Pat Benatar and The Ramones.
The band features Kris Winrich on guitar, Michael Lucas on bass, Scott Osborne and Jeremiah Stratton on drums, and Mackey on lead vocals. Catch them live at Duke’s on January 26. Radical!

sweet & spicy
you are a Thai food lover looking for the newest hot spot (pun intended), be sure to check out Thai Palace located on the corner of La Pata and East Avenida Pico in the Talega
area of San Clemente. Nearly open for a year, Thai Palace is sister to Thai Paradise, which opened in San Clemente 10 years ago.
My friend and I found ourselves amongst the busy lunch crowd, who is clearly in the know about the great lunch deals, but more importantly, the tasty dishes we were about to try.
We started our meal with a Thai staple — vegetable spring rolls. Served with a sweet plum sauce, these light-tasting rolls were crispy on the outside and filled with fresh vegetables and glass noodles. If you prefer a decadent appetizer, opt for the Ching Chang Thong. The deep-fried wontons are filled with avocado and cream cheese and served with a plum sauce and cucumber chunks. You’ll be arguing over who gets the last one!
Next we tried a bowl of Tom Kar soup, the ingredients of which may seem eclectic to the inexperienced Thai eater, but the final result is a pleasing flavor that grows with each bite. We chose shrimp to accompany this delicious mixture of fresh vegetables simmered in coconut milk, lemon grass, lime juice and spices.
We would be remiss if we did not try a curry dish, and Panang Curry certainly filled the bill. The tangy flavor and increasing heat from this dish was a pleaser with its creamy sauce, large chunks of chicken and fresh cut green beans. Clearly, Thai Palace has found that sweet spot where refined flavors and spiciness (if you choose) come together for a great meal.
Thai Palace’s lunch specials can’t be beat - ranging from $8 to $10 for an entrée, green salad, fried wonton and rice. Whether you try one of the menu’s nearly 75, MSG-free selections for lunch, dinner, take-out or delivery, you will not be disappointed by the value and rich flavors. Gluten-free options are also available upon request.
