Message from the Chairman Submitted by: Elisa Guerrero, La Quinta Chamber of Commerce Chairperson
We at Healthy Self Weight Loss are dedicated to assist you in reaching your goals! Our program will: • Provide weekly support, encouragement, and motivation • Educate you on how to lose weight in the real world using real food • Give you the tools to overcome temptations and win the weight loss battle
Hello, La Quinta! It is an honor for me to represent the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce as Board Chair, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the city in this role.
B12 Shot No appt needed
This year has been unpredictable and certainly not what any of us imagined. Challenging doesn’t even begin to describe what many of us have been through! However, I have personally witnessed the true resiliency and spirit of community in La Quinta in a whole new way because of these circumstances. I am so proud of how families have come together to lend each other support when starting back to school in a completely unprecedented way, and how our residents have made an extra effort to shop local and keep our small businesses afloat. I’ve heard inspiring stories of people finding new ways to help each other and connect when doing so is more difficult than ever. As we transition out of summer and into a new season, we can look forward to more opportunities to get outside and play, stay healthy, and keep active. Life is certainly odd right now, but we are up to the challenge! La Quinta has always been a wonderful place to live, and we are proving it in new ways in 2020. Elisa Guerrero is a lifelong Coachella Valley resident and alumnus of La Quinta High School class of 2000. She and her husband are the owners of Old Town Peddler Bike Rental in the La Quinta Village, and take great pride in showcasing the area to the thousands of tourists they meet each year. She lives in La Quinta with her husband and two small children.

Eric Rias, Fitness and Healthy Lifestyle Coach

Submitted by: GCVCC STAFF
Staying fit and healthy has become more of a challenge over the past few months. With gym closures, finding creative ways to stay fit has been a must. We sat down with fitness and healthy lifestyle coach and La Quinta resident, Eric Rias, to discuss meeting this challenge. What do you do? I am a fitness and healthy lifestyle coach. My background is body building and weight loss, sports nutrition, mobility, and fascial stretch therapy. I help people shift into a healthier life by focusing on nutritional programming, where we find the eating style that works best for each individual. Nutrition works in concert with custom workout programming that’s sustainable and enjoyable in addition to stress management skills through journaling and mindfulness. How did you get into fitness? Being a sober man and mental health advocate, fitness was my introduction to personal development. Two weeks into recovery, I started physical training. I quickly realized that if I did the next indicated step, ate well, and was consistent with my training, I would change, physically and emotionally. That was a metaphor for the trajectory of my entire recovery. I have supplemented my health and fitness certifications with continued education in nutrition and the mind-body connection. The same principles apply in every aspect of my life. Be patient, do the work, and we change. What is a fitness and lifestyle coach? I consider myself a healthy lifestyle coach in addition to fitness coach because we’re making lifestyle changes. Healthy body is more than just being aesthetically fit. A healthy body is well fed and moves regularly. A healthy lifestyle isn’t just eating and training, its healthy thinking. The goal is to observe and access a healthy relationship to body and mind. That is what a fitness and healthy lifestyle coach does for and with each client. Can you give us a few workouts people can do at home? Yes, of course. I have a library on my site, Bigmoodcoach. com, where you can find workout execution videos to show you exactly how to execute the movements. Let’s start with a simple body weight workout: Workout 1 • Body weight squats -15 Reps
8
• • • • • • •
Push Ups (Modified push-ups) - 8-10 Reps Walking lunges 15 Reps 30-second plank REST Repeat, a total of three rounds (Add 3 short sprints if needed) A simple workout, hitting, arms, back, core, quads and glutes that can be done ANYWHERE. At work, at home, in the park.
• Workout 2 (H-high I-Intensity I-Interval T-Training) HIIT • (Refer to workout library) • Leap frogs - 8 Reps • REST 1 Minute • Jump Squats -10 Reps • REST 1 Minute • Burpees - 5 Reps • Repeat, a total of three rounds • (Add 3 short sprints if desired) What recommendations would you give to someone to keep a healthy lifestyle? Even if someone doesn’t lose 1 pound, if a meditation or mindfulness practice is adopted, we’ve succeeded. Meditation is one of the most difficult disciplines, as we all know, but the benefits pay dividends. Stress management, emotional well-being, re-wiring of neurochemistry and, if you choose, a spiritual practice, will change your life forever. This isn’t my opinion. The scientific evidence is available to all of us. This changes the game! Is there anything you would like to add? I often say, everyone deserves a healthy life! Healing isn’t a luxury item. I think, culturally, we have to shift that perspective. When we show up for our health and wellness, the way we show up for our families, our careers, and ourselves, improves. I want to shift this in my sphere of influence. How can someone contact or follow you?

Financial Gems What You Need to Know About Trusts
Trusts from a second marriage are usually specific as to who gets what. If the second husband is the trustee, an annual accounting is strongly recommended to ensure the income and assets are not depleted before they pass on to the children.
Submitted by: Corry Hunter, Osborne Rincon CPAs
Be sure you fully understand your responsibilities as trustee by consulting with your CPA and trust attorney.
Becoming a trustee for a parent’s trust is usually a crash course in tax filings, financial management and fiduciary responsibilities, so you should have a discussion with the attorney that drafted the trust to be sure you have a complete understanding of “fiduciary” responsibilities. Here is a typical scenario: 30 years ago, mom and dad placed their assets in a revocable living trust and assigned you as their successor trustee.
Corry Hunter, CPA – a La Quinta High School graduate – served in the U.S. Army before attending College of Desert and eventually graduating from USC. Osborne Rincon is one of the oldest and most respected full-service accounting firms in the Coachella Valley. To learn more, call (760) 777-7805 or go to www.OsborneRincon.com.
Ten years later, Dad dies. Two trusts are created – mom’s “Survivors Trust” and a “Marital Trust.” A tax return is filed each year for the Martial Trust under a new Tax ID. No tax return is filed for the Survivors Trust, as all income is reported under mom’s Tax ID. Two years later, Mom remarries. Mom updates the Survivors Trust and adds a provision to provide income to her and her new husband during their lifetime. Upon the passing of mom, all the assets will pass on to her children after they are both deceased. As long as mom is still alive, the income from the Survivors Trust is reported under mom’s Tax ID and is shown on her tax return. Then mom passes away. Unfortunately, the discussion of what the trust owns did not happen, or happened so long ago, everything is significantly different when you take over as trustee. Not only will you be taking over mom’s income from the Marital Trust, but you also get her bills. You will need to manage banking for the trusts and obtain a Tax ID for the Survivors Trust after mom dies. Be sure you have certified copies of death certificates as well as copies of the trust. You will have at least 3 tax returns to file the first year after mom’s death – mom’s final 1040 (likely filed joint with her new husband), the Marital Trust, and the Survivors Trust. The Marital Trust can often be dissolved the year of mom’s death by distributing all assets to the children and filling a final tax return. Once mom’s second husband dies, all assets can be distributed from the Survivors Trust to the children and the trust can be closed.
