M A G A Z I N E

The ghouls and goblins are out and about as we roll into the hallowed month of October. Cobwebs, styrofoam tombstones and spooky orange and black decor will soon blanket our neighborhoods - if it hasn’t already. My neighbors were so kind as to complete their ghostly ornamentation the first week in September. That afternoon they looked innocently over at me, noticing my wide-eyed stare, and said, “We hope it isn’t too early to decorate.” Before I could say “trick or treat,” my 5-year-old was begging me to unbury our Halloween storage bins from the cobwebs in the garage rafters. Join me in digging out those orange lights and extension cords, getting up on the ladder and embracing the Halloween spirit!

There are plenty of opportunities in October to give back and create great family memories moving forward. The Hope 4 Hanna walk/run to fight autism, the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and the San Clemente Military Family Outreach’s “Starry Starry Night” benefit are fantastic events that would appreciate our local support. Seafest San Clemente returns to The Pier with its annual Clam Chowder Cook-off and Surf Contest. Check out our Halloween events page, spotlighting everything from Haunted Campgrounds and Scavenger Hunts, to

Ghost Stories and Dana Point’s Spooktacular & Moonlight Movie. Check out our centerfold calendar to see what else is brewing this month.

Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel is featured on this month’s cover. Congratulations to General Manager Pat Bolter and his staff on celebrating 40 years in our community. Visit their beautifully renovated dealership and see the new line of 2012 Mercedes-Benz models now available during their Grand Opening Event throughout October.

Thanks as always for reading The Local DISH Magazine!

of Laguna Niguel

the best is yet to come

an exciting time at Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel. The dealership has come a long way since its early days as Mission Im-ports nearly 40 years ago. Since

then, Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel has been nationally recognized for its growing sales volume, outstanding customer service and their exceptional parts department which has all led to them receiving some of the highest ratings in customer satisfaction among Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the Nation. And now with a multi-million dollar renovation & a ton of new models on the way, the best is yet to come.

Established in August 1973 as Mission Imports, the dealership is privately owned by the Pingree Family, who are also members of the Laguna Niguel com-munity. To accommodate their steady growth, the business was re-located from Mission Viejo to Laguna Niguel in 1998 on an expansive 22-acre property, mak-ing Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel one of the larg-est Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Southern California. The dealership includes 100 bays in their service de-partment, as well as over 200 pre-owned vehicles avail-able and hundreds of new vehicles in inventory. In a continued effort to differentiate themselves from other Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the area, a one-of-a-kind dedicated Pre-Owned facility was added to the property in December 2003 as well as a Sprinter Van commercial vehicle franchise in April 2010 which includes sales, service, and customiza-tion. In July of this year, Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel also became an official smart car center.

In order to accommodate their continued growth, Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel invested millions to give their facility a facelift. The investment added over 3,000 square feet of showroom space for the exclusive Certified AMG Performance Center (one of only a handful in the country), a complete over-haul of the service department, remodeled parts

and accessories boutique, a new 5-Star Guest Lounge featuring complimentary Starbucks coffee, compli-mentary Wi-Fi access, real-time video of the service department at work, and a Junior Star Lounge Kid’s area. Pat Bolter, General Manager at Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel, explained that “The overall design theme and décor was inspired by the German ‘Auto-haus’ concept – contemporary, modern, open, light and airy. Extremely clean and simple, here the cars are the stars.” The renovation and expansion project took nearly nine months, wrapping up in July 2011.

The renovation and expansion comes just in time as all- new models are arriving. Mercedes-Benz USA calls their 2012 vehicles the freshest line of product of any luxury automobile make. The 2012 CLS-Class 4-door coupe, released in June 2011, features a twin-turbo V-8 engine and beautiful sport-body styling. The 2012 SLK-Class Roadster, also released in June, fea-tures an all-new bold body design and strong 3.5L V6 engine. New to the market is the 2012 C-Class Coupe. This sleek and sporty vehicle is based off the successful C-Class sedan and comes in several vari-ants. In addition, the 2012 M-Class 5-passenger SUV, to be released this month, boasts an advanced gaso-line and clean diesel engine that combines respon-sive performance with responsive efficiency.

The launch of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz models, the beautifully renovated showroom and the contin-ued drive to improve their position in the Southern California market are not the only reason why their clients have given them some of the highest ratings in customer satisfaction in the country. Their commit-ment to provide their clients “5-Star Service at One Star Drive” has been engrained in every aspect of their business… from their award-winning service de-partment that promises a “Zero-Wait” guarantee to their inventory of 200 complimentary Mercedes-Benz courtesy vehicles available when your vehicle is being serviced and complimentary car washes.

First up is Saturday, October 22nd, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. with the Haunt-ed Campground at Doheny State Beach. The campground will spot-light educational booths and a fun zone for kids. The event is free, but please bring a non-perishable food item donation.

The Ocean Institute’s Tidepool of Terrors takes place on Sunday, October 30th. This annual event is free to kids in costume and fea-tures ghost stories, critter crafts and spooky science labs.

The City of Dana Point is going all out for its First Annual Halloween Spooktacular and Moonlight Movie.

Stop the music! Halloween is just a few short weeks away and so much is happening this year it’s scary. Get in costume, play the part and treat yourself to some hauntingly good fun throughout South OC.

laguna niguel A Halloween tradition not to be missed is the 11th Annual Haunt-ed Trails event at Crown Valley Community Park with this year’s theme: “It’s a mad, mad world!” Small groups will tour through the very scary trails and experi-ence the fright of their lives. The festivities are scheduled for Octo-ber 27th through the 29th and it all begins at 6:30 p.m. The cost is $10 per person and organizers ask that you bring only children aged 8 and older.

For a twist on Halloween tradition, check out the Pet Project Founda-tion and the San Clemente/Dana Point Animal Shelter’s Howl-o-Ween at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel on Thursday, October 27th from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. This fund-raiser and doggie costume contest supports local animal rescue ef-forts and is sure to be full of laughs and arfs. Dogs will enjoy “Yappy Hour,” featuring Beastly Bacon and Creepy Chicken flavored waters and owners can sip on wines from Mutt Lynch Winery—we’re talking Unleashed Chardonnay, Merlot Over and Play Dead and Chateau d’Og Cabernet Sauvignon. The cost is a $10 donation for each cos-tumed canine.

This event is absolutely free and is packed with family-oriented ac-tivities. The fun starts at 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 28th, at Lantern Bay Park with cupcake decorating, pumpkin carving and a costume parade. The event concludes with a screening of Disney’s Monsters, Inc. at 6:15 p.m. Free popcorn will be distributed during the movie and other refreshments will be available for purchase.

Be-ware…the hunt includes a one-mile hike that can be a little steep. The event fee is $2.00 per person and parking is $3.00 per vehicle at Laguna Wilderness Park. Reserve your spot at www.lagunacanyon.org/activites.

QUESTION: Should I get the flu shot this year and why?

—Michelle, San Clemente

ROSS MEDICAL: Here are a few good reasons you should get the 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.

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.

3. Contagious: Influenza is very contagious. It is an airborne disease that is easily spread to others.

4. 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.

The San Clemente-based non-profit, Hope 4 Hanna, was established in May 2008 by its founding board members: Justin and Kristen Alderson and Josh-ua and Lenè Belden. The inspiration behind the organization was Joshua and Lenè’s daughter, Johanna (“Han-na”), who was diagnosed in October 2006 with Autistic Disorder shortly af-ter her second birthday.

Hope 4 Hanna’s mission is to create a less challenging road for families deal-ing with autism. Since the inaugural race in October 2009, Hope 4 Hanna has raised and donated more than $150,000 to larger organizations such as Autism Speaks and Talk About Cur-ing Autism (TACA). In addition to gen-erating donations for the research of cures and prevention, Hope 4 Hanna

According to the leading autism advocacy group, Talk About Curing Autism, one in every 91 chil-dren is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. Increasing at a rate of 10 to 17 percent annually, it’s no surprise that nearly everyone in South Orange County knows someone who’s been affected by this disorder, be it a neighbor, a classmate a friend or your own child. On October 9th at dawn, more than 1,000 people will gather at San Clemente’s Plaza Pacifica shopping center...not for their Sunday morning errands, but to run/walk in the TRACE 3 San Clemente 10k/5k and ½k kids race benefiting Hope 4 Hanna.

Taking Down Autism One Step at a Time

has funded biomedical scholarships, socialization groups and marriage counseling for families in financial need. Recently, they announced a partnership with Courtney’s Sand-castle in San Clemente, providing funding for developmentally dis-abled play apparatus within the new La Pata/Vista Hermosa Park.

The event features a challenging 10k/5k Run/Walk that is entirely on a paved surface. There is a signifi-cant uphill portion during the first mile of the course, followed by a flat transition before a long, down-hill finish. The Kids ½k Run/Walk is designed for fun and safety and has both a paved and grassy surface in a contained area. All levels of run-ners and walkers are welcome and

parental assistance is permitted.

New this year is the “walka for TACA” challenge which follows the ½k kids run. Participants are encouraged to dress up in their favorite superhero costume and have fun tackling various obsta-cles along their journey – bust-ing through a “brick wall” or leaping a tall building in a single bound. This event is being cre-ated with ASD families in mind, as parents are required to par-ticipate with their children.

The Hope 4 Hanna event will also feature its annual resource fair, offering a wealth of informa-tion to families seeking answers about anything from diagnosis to legal issues, to a variety of therapy options. The Wyland Foundation’s mobile learning center and the Ocean Institute’s “Ocean in Motion” van will also be on display.

Whether you are a serious run-ner, a casual walker or just want to enjoy great fun for a great cause, come out and support Hope 4 Hanna on Sunday, Oc-tober 9th. The festivities start at 7 a.m. To register, support a participant, make a general donation and to learn more about the event and volun-teer opportunities, please visit hope4hanna.com.

Open Tuesday - Sunday

If you haven’t visited downtown San Juan Capistrano lately, it’s worth the drive to marvel at the amazing res-toration and revitalization. With the opening of the new Regency The-atre, the heart of downtown had a need for additional options for hungry movie-goers. One astonish-ing highlight is the renovation of the retail space directly below Ruby’s on the corner of Camino Capistrano and Verdugo Street. What had once

been a mixture of small stores and quirky walkways is now beautifully uni-fied and reborn as Vito’s Pizza & Italian Ristorante.

Vito’s is family-owned and new to California, but their successful sister restaurant in Mesa, Arizona has given them plenty of time to develop a smooth operation. The owners are very hands-on (you may even see Vito chatting with customers in the dining room) and the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Fresh rolls and pesto butter will greet you at the table – for apps try the fried calamari which is lightly battered, sprinkled with chile flakes and served with a creamy Cajun sauce. The bruschetta is lightly toasted, mounded with diced tomatoes and fresh basil and then finished with a drizzle of balsamic reduction. So tasty!

From there, the sky’s the limit – get the Piccata with your choice of veal, salmon, or chicken (served with spaghetti and a lemon and caper sauce) or create your own pizza on Vito’s Chicago-style thin crust. Vito’s homemade tiramisu - with a light, fluffy mascarpone layer - was a favorite at our table!

Vito’s lunch specials start at just $7 and a slice of pizza, salad and soda are easy on the wallet at a mere $8.50! They also offer a gluten-free menu, featuring both pasta and pizza, as well as a variety of salads. Kids eat for $1.99 on Sundays, and make sure to stop in on Mondays for “All You Can Eat Pasta.” More good news, Vito’s will soon begin offering home delivery for those staying home to watch movies on DVD!
