They offer patients a comprehensive list of general, restorative and cosmetic dental services designed to meet the needs of of the entire family. Their goal is to assist each patient in achieving and maintaining long-term dental health and an attractive smile. As a practice, the staff and dentists at Hercules Dental Care are true believers that preventive care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. They strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why they focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams and taking x-rays when necessary. Not only are they focused on the beauty of your smile, they’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help them stay informed of your overall health, any new medications and any illnesses that may impact your dental health. As your dental health professionals, you’ll be confident knowing the dentists and staff are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians. In order to

give you the best possible service and results, they are committed to continual education and learning. They attend dental lectures, meetings and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care. Serving Brentwood area patients includes providing information that helps patients make more informed decisions about their oral health needs and the dental treatments they are receiving. In addition, Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood is uncompromising when it comes to your safety. As such, infection control in the Brentwood office is very important. To protect patients and themselves, they strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes recommended by the ADA, OSHA and the CDC. And a couple of other really great features that set them apart are, first, the dental video page on their website. It contains a library of videos related to the dental procedures and treatment options they offer, so you’ll know exactly what to expect from your procedure. Next, their online appointment request form helps making your appointment a breeze and, finally, should a dental emergency occur, the doctors will make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible. At Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood, they know that building a foundation

of trust by treating patients as special individuals is vital to their success. They understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how they can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. So, the entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Testimonials I was so glad to get a “same day” appointment. There was no hidden cost and I was not talked into doing any more than necessary! The latest in technology was there and the office was spotless! This is the first time I can say I am not dreading returning for my cleaning in 6 months...and I will actually return! Thank you for your great services! – S. Borer Thanks for being gentle, efficient, courteous and thorough. – K. Sveen Dr. Cruz is very gentle and really enjoyed his personable personality. Myra and Melissa are sweet and I am now looking forward to my dentist visits instead of being petrified. – E. Vee

TRAVEL TIME

Vision Cruise Royal Caribbean provides a worldclass vacation experience with a wide range of signature onboard amenities, entertainment, and award-winning family programming. Let’s take a look of one of Royal Caribbean’s most popular class of cruise ships. From Alaska to Hawaii, Mexico to Asia, the worldly Vision-class ships can take your curiosity anywhere. Spend an afternoon by the pool at the adults-only Solarium, complete with retractable roof. Find your next great adventure at the bungee trampoline, rock-climbing wall, and mini golf course. When the sun goes down, enjoy fine dining and a Broadway-style show. The Centrum, centrally located on Vision-class ships, emerges as a new chic and sophisticated venue featuring enriching daytime activities, dazzling nightly entertainment and jawdropping aerial spectacles. Bringing

the Centrum’s new entertainment offerings to life is the latest in sound and light technology. During the entertainment experiences, the soaring space comes alive with a series of aerial acrobatic vignettes blurring the lines between artful choreography and stateof-the-art technology. Considered the crown-jewel of the Vision class ships is the Vision of the Seas. This ship features two acres of dazzling glass walls, offering guests sweeping vistas of the Caribbean and the landscapes surrounding the Panama Canal. Guests can try their hand at the ships’ iconic rock-climbing walls for an even more thrilling view from the ship’s highest point and choose a rejuvenating spa treatment in the Vision Day Spa. Younger guests will be entertained and enlightened in the cruise line’s award-winning Adventure Ocean and teen programming, with scheduled activities led by collegegraduate counselors from 9 am to 2 am. Vacationers can choose among 19 Caribbean and Panama Canal cruise vacations, ranging from 10 to 15 nights and sailing roundtrip from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED? With a morning chill in the air, the sunshine is working hard to make it yet another beautiful January day. The rain is in sight along with the playoffs for our home state 49ers, and the stores are full of shoppers on this Martin Luther King holiday. It is a wonderful sight to see this small boost in the economy as shoppers line up to buy their NFL gear. On assignment, I am off to a destination I know so well. Located just off Highway 4 on Balfour Road is a place where families have enjoyed loads of fun for over 17 years. The name is Harvest Park Bowl. Like a good snoop, I made my way in the front door with an open mind and eyes on the task at hand. The familiar sound of laughter and the pins falling down are like music to my ears. It brings back fond memories of bowling with my family and friends as a kid. There was nothing like finishing school and heading to the bowling alley with the Girls Athletic Association for a few hours of bowling and hot french fries from the kitchen. Not much has changed in that the Harvest Park Bowl serves one of the best burgers in town.

With 32 lanes, it is certainly a place where everyone can meet. I was greeted by the young man at the counter with a great “hello”. The shoes are stacked neatly behind the counter and the staff is ready to help you get started. I think the thing I liked most about this visit was the number of seniors who were making their way through the door for their weekly tournament. I haven’t witnessed that many high fives since last Saturday’s football game. Big smiles, welcomed handshakes and cordial hello’s were everywhere. And just then, a young five year old girl zoomed by me on her way back to the alley for her turn. They have a wonderful room for parties, a great little bar for adults, sparkling clean billiards and a game room with lots to do for the kids. The bathrooms are immaculate and the service boasting the small town charm. They also have several TV’s hosting a variety of local businesses and events so you can catch up on the latest happenings in between you turn on the alley. And, they even have bowling balls for us girls who can’t throw those 40 pounders down the lane. Having known owners Jim and Ann Wangeman for years, I am pleased to say my visit today was just like the warm welcome I got years ago when they first opened the doors. They both are very focused on bringing a wonderful experience

The Monthly Grapevine™ DELTA EDITION FEBRUARY 2012

to the local community, especially the families. As a lifetime member of the Rotary, Jim has spent years supporting the P.A.L. (Police Activities League) and other student organizations offering guidance and support for our youth. During the summer season, you can hardly get through the front door when they have the nighttime bowling events like “Rock n’ Bowl”. They are to be commended on their dedication to giving our youth a place to be while learning camaraderie and team spirit. The Harvest Park Bowl hosts an annual ProBowling Tournament that pretty much put Brentwood on the map. I always know when it’s tournament time as the parking lot is full of those beautiful motor coaches. Bravo Jim for bringing the big boys to Brentwood! So Wangemans a pair, the Monthly Grapevine gives you ten strikes for giving the Far East County a place where fun meets competition and the french fries are always hot. This snoop invites everyone to stop in and say “hello” and to try your luck at getting that strike. You will see your friends and neighbors there while enjoying a wonderful sport. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

HEALTH

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Dental Health & Osteoporosis Osteoporosis or porous bone is a disease that weakens bones, especially the hip, spine and the wrist, making them more likely to break. As we grow older, our bones begin to lose their density and strength, especially after we reach fifty years old. Many factors affect bone density, including diet, physical activity, hormones, lifestyle, family history and medications. Osteoporosis affects about 10 million Americans, out of which 8 million of whom are women. The disease affects more woman than cancer, heart disease and stroke combined. About thirty four million Americans have osteopenia or low bone density and are at risk of developing osteoporosis. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, about one in two women and up to one in four men older than 50 years will break a bone as a result of osteoporosis. Broken bones of the

spine and hip are linked to an increased risk of death. This disease causes more than 2 million fractures each year and can affect the person’s quality of life. Some people never fully recover. Many people with low bone density or osteoporosis prevent broken bones by taking one of the drugs from a group of bisphosphonates or denosumab. Studies have shown that in many people osteoporosis medications help reduce the chance of breaking bones by reducing bone loss and increasing bone density. Some reports estimate that taking osteoporosis medications reduces the chance of breaking a hip by as much as 40 to 50 percent. In some patients who have been taking osteoporosis medications, a condition known as osteonecrosis of the jaw has been reported. This is a rare condition, but it is serious and can cause severe damage to the jaw bone. Most patients diagnosed with osteonecrosis of the jaw associated with these medications are patients with cancer who have received or are receiving repeated high doses through intravenous infusion. There is a risk of developing osteonecrosis if you are taking bisphosphonates or denosumab for osteoporosis and researchers agree that the chances are

small. Therefore, it is very important to keep a very good oral hygiene regime and please let the dentist know if you have been or are currently taking these medications. It is recommended to monitor your oral health regularly by the dentist to prevent any extractions or surgical procedures in the jaw to reduce the occurrence of necrosis of the jaw bone due to these medications. Do not stop taking these medications without speaking to your physician because they will be the best source of information regarding your need for osteoporosis medications. There is no known prevention for osteonecrosis of the jaw but you can reduce the risk by regular dental visits and excellent oral hygiene.

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

Questions About Foreclosure? Is your house underwater? Are you in pre-foreclosure? Do you have a NOD or notice of default filed? Is the notice that came from the bank an actual notice of default or just a warning? These are some of the many questions that you may have. If you are feeling overwhelmed, ask for help. Open those notices; ignoring them will not make them go away. Call the help lines that come with your notices -they can help. Call us - it’s what we are here for and we can help. What kind of modification can I expect? Many more lenders are now offering modifications to homeowners in distress. Usually the bank will offer to lower your payment by temporarily lowering your interest rate and extending the loan period to 40 years. These are often more of a temporary solution as the banks seldom offer principal reductions and therefore you still have little promise of future equity. Depending on your goals and situation, this may be a good option for you. Need help? Go to www.NACA.com or 888-302-6222.

What is a “Short Sale”? A short sale is when the borrower/owner sells a property to a third party during a pre-foreclosure process. It is called a short sale because the owner will sell the property “short” of the balance owed to the lender or the bank. Can the bank come after my other assets or attach my wages? California law or SB 458 ensures that once a lender has agreed to accept a short sale payment on a property, all lien holders - those in first position and in junior positions - will consider the outstanding balance as paid in full and the homeowner will not be held responsible for any additional payments on the property. http://www.car.org/newsstand/ newsreleases/2011newsreleases/sb458/ What about income tax and the IRS? Act now! If you are a homeowner whose mortgage debt is partly or entirely forgiven during tax years 2007 through 2012, you may be able to claim special tax relief and exclude the debt forgiven from your income. There is no guarantee that this will be extended. For more info visit: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/ article/0,,id=179414,00.html What about scams? Be cautious of scams. Never pay an upfront fee. These are illegal. Do not sign your deed over to anyone or

make a payment to anyone other than your mortgage servicer without seeking your servicer’s approval directly. If you have tried to modify your loan and have been unsuccessful and are thinking of walking away from your house, it’s time to get the facts. We may be able to help you. Even if you have stopped making mortgage payments and have gotten a notice of default, it is not too late. We can give you a comparison on your options to a Foreclosure. Get an action plan. Loan modification, Short Sale or Strategic Default. Which one is right for you? Call today and speak with an experienced Short Sale agent to discuss and compare your options. Take control of your situation and start the New Year fresh. Remember to always seek legal and tax advice before making any decisions and if you have any questions or need more information please call, and let me help you make the best real estate decisions.

ON THE HOUSE

Replacing a Toilet Replacing a toilet may not be one of the most exciting ways to spend a Saturday, but then that’s the nice part about this particular project; you should be able to perform this little task and still have time to enjoy your afternoon. Begin this project by arming yourself with the required tools: an openended wrench (1/4” or 3/8”), a crescent wrench, a pair of pliers, a screwdriver, and a hacksaw. Start by turning off the water supply to the toilet – that’s the little valve located below and behind the toilet. Flush the toilet and remove any remaining water in the tank or bowl using a small cup and a sponge. Once all of the water has been removed, disconnect the water supply line at the base of the tank by backing off the nut in a counterclockwise direction. Next, unfasten the toilet from the floor. Most residential toilets are

anchored to the floor with a couple of fasteners called closet bolts. Some toilets are anchored by four of these devices, which are cleverly concealed with porcelain or plastic caps. In most cases a toilet is bolted to a “closet flange”, a device that connects to the sanitary sewer pipe and to the floor. Pry those closet bolt caps off with a screwdriver and remove the nuts that remain with an open-ended wrench turning counterclockwise. Now comes the fun part, removing the toilet. We suggest that you have one other person help you lift the toilet and carry it out because it’s as awkward as it is heavy. Don’t be alarmed by the gooey mess that may appear on the floor where the toilet once sat. What remains is some of the wax ring, which is used to form a seal between the toilet and the closet flange. Remove any of the wax that remains on the closet flange and at the underside of the toilet using a putty knife. Chances for achieving a new leakproof seal will be especially good if you take care in cleaning up the surface to accept the new wax ring. Now it’s time to install the new toilet, that is, after you have assembled it

The Monthly Grapevine™ DELTA EDITION FEBRUARY 2012

according to the manufacturer-supplied instructions. With the toilet lying on its side, place the wax ring against the underside of the toilet with the plastic throat facing away from the toilet. Install the new closet bolts (typically provided with the toilet) to the closet flange in an upright position just as you found the old ones. Stand the toilet upright and, without allowing the bottom to touch the floor, align the holes in the base of the toilet with the closet bolts and gently lower it until it completely seats on the closet flange. Install the washers and nuts onto the closet bolts being careful not to tighten them too tight; we have broken more that one toilet being too forceful! Place the bolt caps over the nuts. If they don’t seat properly, chances are that the bolts are too long. Shorten them by cutting off the excess using a hacksaw. Reattach the water supply line to the tank with the new nut and washer provided with the toilet and turn the water on and you’re good to go.
